#beloved cure peace 😭

"I'm a crybaby, I can't do anything by myself, but once I've set my mind on something, I'll do my best to see it through to the very end!"

[ozzgin]

Hello.

Do you think I can request headcanons for Nakamaro ?

Like in an alternate route, reader and him (he's in his twenties because... magic ?) are married and reader is pregnant.

But the funny thing is, Nakamaro can't bully the yokais because reader will exorcise him each time he tries.

Aaaaah I finished writing and only afterwards it occurred to me you might've wanted a modern day reader for this. 😭 I imagined the events in his own timeline. Oh well. I think it can work both ways. Just replace the ancient pouch with, I don't know, a visa card that he throws at your parents for wife payment.

Yandere! Onmyōji x Reader

Yokai Harem AU as the wife of Abe no Nakamaro, a legendary sorcerer and collector of yokai. Although you're not quite as powerless as to not keep his cruelty under control.

Content: female reader, arranged marriage, mentions of pregnancy

[Main Story] [Character Guide]

Your family had vehemently opposed the marriage. To think their one and only daughter would fall into the hands of such a cruel man. The famous Abe no Nakamaro, descendant of Abe no Seimei himself, has quite a contradicting reputation. He has saved many lives, cured countless illnesses, protected villages from monsters and brought peace to the land. Yet many have also witnessed his ruthless nature: the arrogance he has towards humans, the disdain and utter disgust he harbors towards demons. He is quick to punish, rarely forgives, and never forgets. The yokai he’s captured under a binding contract are kept on a leash, like cattle before slaughter.

It is this man who approached your parents one day, when you were still young, demanding your hand. He claimed you had special powers and a lot of potential under the right guidance. Such spiritual prowess would waste away in a family of plebeians. You don’t remember much of the discussion, only the expressions: the man’s mocking grin as he threw a pouch fattened with coins, the frown of your parents who wanted to refuse, the uneasy, grim eyes of the horned demons brought to intimidate. It was clear they were there against their will. One will find just how difficult it is to go against the wishes of the onmyōji, and you happened to be his most ardent desire. Thus, with a heavy heart, you’d been sent away with the stranger who promised you were to live a life of luxury. One your parents could never afford.

True to his word, you have not struggled since. In Akutagawa’s short masterpiece, Hell Screen, artist Yoshihide is wicked and vicious towards everything and everyone except his beloved daughter. Similarly, the sorcerer seems to have a soft spot for you in particular. He often praises your talent, and patiently caters to your whims without complaint. You once inquired about it yourself, as the idea weighed heavily on your mind: why is it that he does not show the same hostility towards you? He stared at you as if you just grew two more heads. "You're my wife. What else is there to question?"

This favoritism, however, is to the benefit of everyone. Especially to the yokai under his command. You've grown rather fond of the demons in your years spent alongside them, and they've quickly learned that your presence means safety from any punishment. Some need reassurance more than others. To these you've even begun to feel like a motherly figure, shielding them from the wrath of an unforgiving master. At last, an authority even Abe no Nakamaro himself can't disobey: the word of his wife.

And soon enough, as if your marriage wasn't already the ultimate argument, you welcome the return of your husband with the news he's always longed for: you are the soon-to-be mother of his child. His name has just been guaranteed to continue its course through time. To say he is elated is an understatement. You've only seen him smile so genuinely once before in your life, on your wedding day.

"Can you imagine the powers this child will command?" He muses, referring most likely to the fact you've both been blessed with an innate, unmatched talent in onmyōdō. You finish rolling the parchment paper and gently tap his head with the scroll in a scolding manner. "You better not burden the kid with your bizarre expectations!" The same man feared throughout the country is chuckling apologetically at your gesture. "As the Mother says."

(that final bit of the chapter was SO PAINFUL and SO REALISTIC, truly A+++ writing)

---

"i suppose you’re not a real adult unless you’ve had a breakdown on a toilet"

hero stating facts!!! (this made me laugh okay)

---

“grief is like a bullet. you hear the sound of a gunshot, but it can take time before you realize you’re hit."

---

I'M THORN, because lily and astrid are cute (she is a reprieve from the cruelty of the rest of the world 😩🥺) but also i'm still holding hope for saito ren/hero and astrid to be a thing (how can i get over their relationship in book 1, even if hero was not their truest self? 😭)

---

that plot twist about the origin of the sisterhood!!!!!!!

---

"believe in yourself because i believe in you"

luce and hemlock is the friendship i didn’t know i needed 😭

---

"i'm not the girl who feels for him anymore."

luce!!! don't lie to me!!!

---

hero called astrid "little dove"!!!!!! i'm going to launch myself into the sun!!!

---

"she was exactly the person i needed in that moment, someone who impossibly thought me beautiful, and i loved her for helping me see i was worthy of love when i thought i was anything but."

---

THAT SCENE BETWEEN HERO AND ASTRID 😭

"i want them to hit me back. i want to fight with them. otherwise, it is like it wasn’t them who did this to me . . . it was the sisterhood"

"i chose you because you are a fighter who seeks peace"

"i have always believed in you"

---

"hemlock, my heart says, each two-part beat his name. if he’s alive . . . would sorrel have brought him? but hope is a disease with no cure"

---

castor RUNNING when he hears luce screaming!!!!!!!!

---

MARAAAAAA

---

synthetic lito “dying” to save luce!!!!!!!!

(and can we talk about lito voice slowly dying out in the last line of the chapter? truly a masterpiece of an audiobook)

---

"i love you, she says, without a hint of doubt. regardless of what i have done. regardless of the nightmares i am doomed to suffer in the darkness."

---

"i am no one from nowhere, but that does not mean i am nothing! that i am worth nothing! [...] i am Astrid!”

---

me @ ringer:

---

"i will want myself, and that is enough.”

astrid delivering truly powerful motivational quotes in this chapter
