As Sovereign of Thomceit, I've come to ask a very important question......... Janus why on earth aren't you looking after your son he has two dads right there???? Sir???? /hj
No but really, would y'all like to raise Jake?? How would you feel about having a kiddo??
~🌺
"Who's Jake?"
"Well, I'm not sure we're looking to have kids yet and as much as I love kids, I haven't decided if I want any of my own someday or not. I really like being a godfather and uncle. I still think I want to start out with a dog first, but gosh, even that's a commitment I'm not sure on at the moment. I do think Janus would make a great dad. To a puppy or a human."

While I work on drawing projects lemme just throw some more angst at you guys cause why not lol
---
Roman tapped his fingers against his phone, anxiously staring between the screen and the doorway. He needed to leave soon and continue his mission, he only had one open spot where he could attack, but he couldn't do it. Not before hearing about Virgils position. It was a rough attack, but Logan had assured he could find the information needed to locate Virgil. Logan would find him.
His phone lit up with a musical tune, the ring startled Roman. He jumped and nearly dropped his phone. He fumbled a little, but quickly pressed accept and brought it up to his ear.
"Well?" He breaths, heart hammering hard against his chest as he waited.
Logan cleared his throat. "Virgil survived." He confirms, his tone detached yet, Roman could barely tell, his body sagging in relief at such information.
"Oh thank Disney! I-" Roman felt his voice crack a little before he shook his head with a breathless laugh. "Alright, I have to go, thank you Logan."
---
Logan stared at his phone as it disconnected. He let it fall in his lap while Patton ran a hand over his shoulder. He shrugged it off, pressing his lips together.
"I shouldn't have done that." He murmurs slowly. Patton shakes his head.
"Roman will save the city," His voice trembles as he talks, breaking at the end. Logan inhales sharply. "Its...it's for the city."
"It's logical," Logan chokes. "I know."
Chubby arms wrap around his shoulders and he doesn't bother to push them off, tightening his grip on his phone.
---
It's over.
Roman had saved the city from the villian once again, having them thrown in prison once and for all. He returned to the base, energy soaring his veins, skipping excitingly. His muscles burned but it was worth it to come home to his beloved thunderstorm.
Though, he does say, walking into the living area, everyone seemed to have grim looks on their faces.
He paused for a moment, his accomplishments seeming to die where he stood, an eery dread running through him as he eyed the group.
Virgil was nowhere to be found.
He frowned, eyeing Logan, who didn't, dare say, couldn't look at him and took a step closer. "What's with all the sour looks?" He asks, furrowing his brow before letting out a cheerless laugh. "Did Remus pour too much lemon juice into the cake again?" He tries to lift the tension, yet his humor falls flat, and he watches as Logan takes in a sharp breath before standing abruptly. All eyes fall on him, and he steps forward. Roman watches as he takes on his professional posture and frowns further.
"Logan?"
"Missles had hit the foundation of the northern building, erupting in a powerful explosion that took few lives but caused many injuries."
"Logan-" Roman begins, clenching his fists as he continued with his monotone discussion, and a sinking feeling in his chest knew where this was going.
"Remus managed to deter anymore destruction from being done. Unfortunately, as the scavengers were searching for casualties..." Logan seemed to choke on his words and Roman felt his fists tremble.
"Where is he?" He grinds out. "Where's Virgil?!"
"He's dead Roman."
Roman chokes on nothing, his heart screeching to a stop while his blood drew cold. He shook his head and pointed a finger at the man.
"You said he was alive!" He snaps, tears burning at his eyes as pure fury scorched his insides. "He's alive! I don't believe you!"
"Roman," Janus tries softly. "Logan had to tell you he was alive. It would have compromised the mission. It's protocol."
"Screw protocol!" Roman sneers. "Where is he?!"
"Virgil is dead." Logan says firmer this time, as if his hands weren't trembling by their sides. "He died Roman. He's gone. The building collapsed on top of him, there was no saving-"
Roman punched Logan Square in the jaw.

An Analogince Proposal💜💙❤️
Summary: Roman, Logan, and Virgil have been dating for two years. The princely side is now determined to propose to his boyfriends, so hopefully it goes well.
Relationship(s): Romantic Analogince (Virgil x Logan x Roman)
Characters: Roman Sanders, Virgil Sanders, Logan Sanders, Janus Sanders (only mentioned), Patton Sanders (only mentioned), Character!Thomas Sanders (only mentioned), and Remus Sanders (only mentioned).
Content Warning(s): Some anxiety/worrying, slight Virgil angst (I think). Let me know if I missed anything else.
Click below the cut to read the fic.
—————————————————————
Roman slowly walks towards the stairs, taking calming breaths. This could be the best or worst moment of his life. Patton and Janus are off helping Thomas, and Remus is causing chaos in the imagination. This gives the princely side plenty of time to conduct his plan.
Roman stops for a moment before heading downstairs. He checks in his pocket, making sure the ring box is in there nicely. Roman is going to propose to his boyfriends, Logan and Virgil, today. They’ve been dating for two years now, and Roman couldn’t be happier. He knows his boyfriends aren’t opposed to the idea of marriage in general. They’ve watched many romance movies together during date nights, and all enjoy a good wedding scene. Hopefully they won’t be opposed to the idea of marrying him.
Roman takes one final calming breath before heading down the stairs and entering the living room. Logan and Virgil are both sitting next to each on the couch. The logical side is reading a book, while the anxious side is scrolling on his phone. Roman smiles at the sight of his boyfriends before announcing his presence.
“Greetings, my loves.”
Logan and Virgil look up at the princely side and both smile softly at him.
“Hey, Princey.”
“Salutations, Roman.”
Roman smiles again and walks closer to the couch, stopping in front of his boyfriends. The creative side then starts to say what he’s rehearsed for this very moment.
“My darlings, we’ve been together for two years now and I’ve been enjoying every second we spend together. I love going on dates with you, cuddling you, kissing you, and talking about poetry, books, musicals, and movies with you. I want to be able to do these things with you both for the rest of my life, so I have just one question for you two.”
Roman gets down on one knee and pulls out the ring box from his pocket. He opens it up to reveal two rings. They’re silver with red, blue, and purple gems in them. The princely side then says the question.
“Will you marry me?”
Roman looks at both of his boyfriends, trying to read their faces. Logan looks happy but slightly confused. Virgil looks like he’s nervous and excited. The emo’s eyeshadow has even turned that sparkly purple that Roman loves seeing so much. Logan ends up being the first to break the silence.
“Roman, my star, I’d be very happy to marry you. But you do realize marriage isn’t necessary for us to be figuratively bonded together. We’re already as connected as figuratively and literally possible, considering we are the Sides of one person. We are bonded together no matter what.”
Roman looks at the logical side with a slightly less happy expression on his face.
“So you don’t want to get married then…?”
Logan frowns, regretting his previous comment.
“No, that’s not it. I want to marry you, Roman. I just wanted you to know that if you’re just proposing because you think this is the only way to figuratively bond us together, that I already consider us bonded. Married or not, I want to always be by your side. But if you truly want to be officially married, I’m happy to do so.”
Roman’s face brightens up and he smiles at his logical love, before glancing over at his emo. Virgil is fidgeting with his hoodie sleeves, and looks down at his shoes when he notices Roman’s gaze is now on him.
“Princey…I’d love to marry you, but are you sure you really wanna be married to me. Yeah, you like dating me, but what if once you marry me you realize you’re actually tired of dealing with me and all my worries. I don’t want you to feel stuck with me when you end up realizing I’m too much to deal with.”
Roman grabs one of Virgil’s hands with his free hand, the one not holding the ring box.
“My Emo Knight, you could never be too much for me. I want to be there by your side, whether you’re feeling glittery or gloomy. I want to support you and love you.”
Virgil covers his eyes with his free hand and mumbles.
“Princey, you’re going to make me cry with how sappy you’re being…”
“I hope you mean happy tears, J.D-lightful.”
“Yes, Sir-Sing-A-Lot. I mean happy tears. And to answer your question from before, yes, I’ll marry you.”
Roman puts the ring box down on the ground before getting up from his kneeled position on the floor, and pulls his emo into a hug. The creative side holds his emo gently before glancing at Logan and motioning for him to join th hug. The logical side joins his boyfriends in the embrace and they all feel content in this moment, not wanting it to end. The calm silence is eventually broken by Logan leaving the hug and speaking up.
“So Virgil, my moonlight, will you marry me? Since we’re both now engaged to Roman, I feel like it’s safe to assume that we’d also take the next step in our relationship and get married as well. I don’t have a ring for you, but I can get you one when I get the chance.”
“Yes, L, I’ll marry you too. Don’t worry about not having a ring, worrying is my job. If we get Roman a matching ring then the rings he got us can represent all three of us being engaged to each other.”
The princely side claps his hands and jumps up in excitement.
“That’s a perfect idea Virgil! I can create a matching ring now.”
Roman makes another ring for himself and hands it to Virgil.
“J.D-lightful, you or Logan can do the honors of placing the ring on my finger and I shall do the same for you two.”
The now fiancés proceed to place the rings on each others’ fingers and share a few kisses. The three of them then settle down on the couch and put on a movie to watch together. Roman smiles to himself, happy with how his proposal played out, and excited for the future wedding he would have with his loves.
—————————————————————
End Notes: Thanks for reading! I was originally just going to make a headcannon about how I thought an Analogince proposal would play out, but I got the idea to write out a short fic and this was the result. I might write out a part 2 to this that’s the wedding, but I don’t know for sure. If anything, I might just draw Analogince on their wedding day since I’m getting outfit ideas. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this little story. If you did, please consider leaving a like, reblog and/or a comment.
-Monkey💜

The Blood That Binds Character Profile- Janus
Relationship Map | Thomas
The second Profile is here, albeit a little later than I would’ve liked. I apologize. But here it is!! Janus’ backstory!!
Tag List: @sethlost @thearomanticsnake
TW: mentions of abuse, use of supernatural domination
Janus came from a line of privilege. He had a past life in England that entitled him to all the finer things. He immigrated to America at the first signs of tension in Germany, and quickly established himself as an eccentric salesman. He had a way with words that made others believe nearly anything he said. There wasn’t any lie he couldn’t make someone believe.
No one knows who Janus’ Sire is. It’s a fact even he himself refuses to share. Some theorize that it was a past love he killed shortly after the Embrace. Others that it was an undercover Anarch. Others still claim it was the Prince himself.
What matters is that Janus took to the gift of vampirism surprisingly fast. He was an efficient hunter, a master of his Disciplines, and a strong enforcer of the Masquerade. He earned himself a spot in the Inner Circle rather quickly. He did take the time to notice the handsome young Toreador being brought up alongside him. Thomas and his clumsy fledgling Roman were a pleasant site for Janus.
As time passed Janus’ strength and resolve grew. He was uncannily good at keeping his true intentions hidden from the rest of the Ivory Tower. He kept to himself most night, keeping an eye out for strays or signs of rebellion. By the end of the 1960s he had been instated as the new Sheriff of the Camarilla. This quickly drew his desire to find himself a Scourge/Hound to assist him.
It was a seemingly ordinary night in 1975 as Janus made a brief patrol around the city. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. That was until he picked up the faint trace of blood in the air outside a shabby apartment complex. Once inside, Janus could make out the sound of two people having a heated argument.
Following the sound to the third floor, clearing the others to ensure they were clear, he came across a ghastly sight. Two Kindred, one elbow-deep in the blood of a dying human on the floor. The other was just as bloodstained but appeared injured, as if he’d be thrown about rather heavily. Janus couldn’t help but notice the eery similarity between this vampire’s features and Roman’s. If he didn’t know better, he’d say they were brothers.
The Kindred kneeling over the human was clearly younger and less experienced. It was easy for Janus to subdue him, but for whatever reason he chose to leave this one alive. Perhaps he wanted to leave them to their mess. But he would not leave alone.
It took little convincing to get Remus on Janus’ side. It took even less to establish the Blood Bond. Remus has been Janus’ obedient guard dog for nearly 50 years. It was an uneasy adjustment to bring a Tzimisce into the Camarilla, but eventually a fragile peace was established. Janus always held the promise that Remus' time would come. Just a little more time. Just a little more blood. Patience. All in due time...
In the modern nights the two are inseparable, for better or worse. Remus follows Janus' every order, and Janus is always there to clean up Remus' mess. Combatting Anarchs and Sabatt, removing strays, accomplishing Blood Hunts set by the Prince. Whatever the tasks, the Sheriff and Hound were quick to see it done.
Their next mission: Observe Roman as he is given his next trial.

Welcome!
Hi! Welcome to the @ask-nico-and-the-sides blog! I'm the artist, and I run things here! For the record, if you'd like to see more of my art, my main is @halfhissandwich, you'll find lots of Sanders Sides fan content there. This is a story driven blog, so if you're ever confused, there's probably something happening. Extra Details below.
Artist: I will be referring to myself as Admin in out of character posts. My pronouns are he/they. Feel free to ask me questions should you need to.
Magic!Anons: CLOSED
Characters open to questions: c!Thomas, Nico, Logan, Patton, Roman, Virgil, Janus, Remus, Orange Side, Nico’s “scarf side”, Nico’s “bow side”
Rules:
- No NSFW asks.
- You can feel free to criticize the artist but do so respectfully.
- If you have art requests then ask on my main.
- If you request a Magic!Anon, it cannot be for more than 15 asks at a time and you must include how long the Magic!Anon is in your original ask. I reserve the right to reject any Magic!Anon for any reason.
- Be respectful of all other askers. You can be mean to the characters all you want, but askers are real people and must be respected.
- If the story calls for it, you can use an anonymous ask to be cruel to the characters to stir up conflict. I have no problem with askers being mean to the characters. However, I ask that these asks have a marker at the top of the post marking that you are saying mean things for the sake of plot rather than a real ask.
- I reserve the right to add more rules should I feel the need to.
Disclaimers: This blog will be shipping Karrot Kings, which is c!Thomas x c!Nico. This blog will not be shipping actor Thomas and Manny, who are real people with their own lives. The artist does not respect the act of shipping real people. Also, this blog was first made in March of 2024, before the release of the Sanders Sides season 2 finale. A lot of the content in this blog will become outdated.

I ship Janus x Remus and the thing that makes me mad is people call it Demus sometimes and in the Harry Potter fandom Dean Thomas x Seamus Finnagin is Deamus it’s really close and we need to call Dukeceit
I needed to vent and you get to listen to my rant
I’m with you actually. I really like how the Sanders Sides ship names mostly use characteristics from both sides’ aesthetic/role rather than name and I feel like Dukeceit would’ve expressed who they both are as characters better than Demus.
#asks#sanders sides#rant post#for the record I also love dukeceit#my Janus ships go moceit > loceit > dukeceit > anxceit > roceit#3rd place is really good for how much I adore moceit and loceit#also my favorite Remus ship :D#idk I don’t ever really ship Remus unless it’s intrumoceit#so idk if it’s an accomplishment that dukeceit is my fav Remus ship

Hey I saw your requests were open? If that's still the case then I'd love to request a Natemare x reader that has some sanders sides fic where the reader has been dating Mare for awhile so the reader decides to finally introduce Mare to there best friend of many years, Virgil. If that's possible, please and thank you.
Of course!!!
I Lie Inside Myself for Hours
@namelessmunster
Title From: Imaginary by Evanescence
Fandom: Youtuber Egos + Sanders Sides
AU: None
Content Warnings: Not proofread
----------------------------------------
As you were standing in front of the Sides house, it occurred to you for the fifteenth time that day that Natemare, your boyfriend, had never met the Sides. You didn’t know if they’d even get along.
The reason you were here other than introduce him to your friends was to see your best friend of many years, Virgil. He was an anxious guy, but somehow you were closest to him out of the Sides rather than one would probably expect your best friend to be, like Logan or Patton.
But Anxiety was the one who you were closest to. You’d known Virgil for around five years, since Thomas had invited you over saying that he “wanted you to meet a few people.” It turned out that those people were parts of himself.
You sighed, and knocked on the door, then turning to Mare. “It won’t be that long, usually Roman- Creativity gets the door within a few seconds,”
“Yeah? Wellll, I can’t help but notice it’s taking a few more than that, isn’t it Y/N?” He said sarcastically, looking around the outside of the house. Oh yeah, he’d for sure get along with Virgil.
Around ten seconds later Roman opened the door, and he smiled at the sight of you. He called out to the other Sides, “Y/N IS HERE!!!”
Then he looked back at you and his eyes turned to Mare. “Ohh, who is this now? Your lover? What’s his name? How did you meet-“
“Roman!! Shut!!!” You said, interrupting him. That man never stopped with his romance questions if he figured one was interested in it.
“Awww… fine, I’ll save them for later. But do I at least get to know his name?” Roman said.
You looked over at Mare, and he smiled.
“I’m Natemare, but if you want you can call me Mare,” He told Roman, shaking his hand.
“Well.. come in! Virgil will be happy to see you, Y/N!” Roman said, moving out of the way.
“Who’s Virgil?” Mare asked you as you both walked into the house.
“He’s my best friend,” You answered.
“And you’ve never introduced me to him? Shame upon you,” He said jokingly, “How dare you not introduce me to everyone you know.”
“Shut up,” you said, laughing a little.
“Hmm… no!” He replied. “Y’know, I am curious as to who the other Sides are. Roman was certainly a… character,”
“That’s just how he is,” you said. You then saw Logan, Patton and Janus hanging out in the living room, playing some kind of board game.
Patton looked up first, and pretty much shouted in excitement. “Y/N! You’re here! I’m so happy, it’s been way too long,”
“Patton, it has been two weeks since Y/N has last visited.” Logan said, placing a piece on the board. Janus looked at you, slightly smiling, and then he looked at Mare.
“Oh, great, there are two emos here now.. I’m so thrilled,” He said, and he rolled his eyes.
“You remind me of my younger brother,” Mare said to Janus.
“Amazing,” Janus said flatly. Patton then went up to Mare.
“What’s your name? Are you human? Also, I’m Patton, Thomas’s Morality, Logan is his Logic and Janus is his… Deceit,” He said.
“I’d suggest stopping with the rampant questions, Patton, he’s already been questioned enough by Roman,” Logan said.
“It’s okay. I’m Natemare, and no, I’m not human. I’m a siren,” Mare answered Patton.
“Like the beings that lured sailors to their deaths in Greek Mythology?” Logan asked.
Mare nodded, “Exactly. Most people I meet get scared when they hear that, so it’s kind of new that people aren’t.. you know, trembling and backing away just because of that.”
“It wouldn’t be nice to judge you based on what you are!” Patton said, smiling once more.
“Hypocrite,” Janus quietly said with anger while out of earshot of Patton. Which was true. Out of all the light Sides, Patton was the one who judged the dark Sides based on what they were the most.
“That’s nice. It was nice meeting all of you, Y/N has mentioned all of you once or twice,” Mare said.
“You did?!” Patton said happily.
You nodded. “Yeah. Also, Patton, do you know where Virgil is?” You asked. You hadn’t seen the emo nightmare yet, which was odd. Usually he was one of the first to come talk to you when you came over.
“Yes, where is that raccoon? He disappeared right when you showed up,” Janus said.
“He’s downstairs,” Patton replied, “Probably on the couch, poor kiddo. I wonder what’s up with him today..”
It might be the fact a new person is here. Virgil didn’t like new people, he never has. It took him a while to trust you, and even more time for him to open up to you.
“Thank you! We’ll go check on him,” You said, walking down the stairs with Mare.
“So.. if the Sides represent things about Thomas, then what is Virgil?” Mare asked you.
“Virgil is Thomas’s Anxiety,” you answered his question. “He’s not really a people person,”
“I’ll keep that in mind,” Mare said. You two reached the bottom, and entered into a second living area.
You looked around for your best friend, and then saw him on the couch, like Patton said he might be.
He was on his phone, probably scrolling on Tumblr, with his hood up and his headphones in. The music was loud, so loud that you could hear it. It was “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” by My Chemical Romance, which was Virgil’s self proclaimed “theme song” and one you two often listened to together.
Well, if listening is counted as screaming the lyrics to it at 3am, then yes, you listened to it together.
You went up to him and tapped his shoulder a few times. “Virgil??”
He paused his music and looked up, not taking off his hood. “What?” He said with an annoyed tone. You were stunned for a moment. He hadn’t been this blatantly annoyed with you since before you were best friends.
“Uh- I want you to meet someone,” You said, gesturing to Mare. Virgil sighed, and finally took off his hood, taking out his headphones as well.
“Who?” That was all he said. “Don’t tell me they’re like Roman… or worse, Remus,”
“Oh, no, he’s not like them at all. This is Natemare, my boyfriend,” You said. Virgil moved to look at Mare, looking him up and down.
“He’s your boyfriend? Huh. Wait, first of all, WHEN did you get a boyfriend? You’ve never mention this to me before,” he said, his annoyance slightly going away.
“We’ve been dating for six months,” Mare answered for you.
“Six months??? Y/N, you’ve been over here eight times in that time and you’ve NEVER mentioned this??? I would’ve thought that you would tell me whenever you got a partner, since you’re, you know, my best friend!” Now the annoyance was back. Virgil did seem mad, as he raised his voice slightly.
“Hi.. I don’t want us to bother you, we can leave if you want,” Mare said. “Also.. were you listening to MCR? They’re one of my favorite bands, and I’m Not Okay is a good song.”
Virgil was silent for a few moments, and then spoke. “No, you guys can… stay if you want. I want Y/N here at least,” He said.
“Alright,” You said. “Can I sit next to you?” You asked. Virgil simply nodded, and moved so you could sit next to him.
You sat down, and Mare sat down too. You moved closer to him, and Virgil sort of.. glared?? Does he think that just because you have a boyfriend, you’re going to abandon him or something?
“Virgil.. I’m not going to leave you, and I’m not going to stop being friends with you just because I have a boyfriend,” You said, trying to reassure him due to his unspoken feelings.
“Who said I thought that? I wasn’t saying that,” He said. Mare laughed.
“Don’t worry, I’m not gonna steal your best friend from you or something,”
Virgil… actually laughed at that. That was a good sign.
That was probably the quickest time he laughed at something someone he just met said, even when you had first met him.
You could tell they’d get along great. Eventually.

my whump intro!
hey, gang!! i'm annie, you might know me from my main blog (@prodigal-explorer). this is my side blog, and it's a place for all things sanders sides whump! whump isn't a very big thing in this fandom, but i really love it and i think this fandom has so much whump potential.
to clear things up for anyone confused, whump is basically a genre of fanfic/headcanons/content where characters (they are called whumpees) are being hurt either by other characters (they are called whumpers) or by natural elements such as sickness and weather. sometimes, there are characters who help whumpees feel better, or protect them from whumpers (they are called caretakers). whump is sort of like hurt/comfort, but there's not always the guarantee of comfort. whether or not there's comfort is up to personal preference! when it comes to whump, pretty much any kind of pain/injury/hurt is on the table, so when engaging with it, it's important to read tags carefully, just for your own safety!
with this blog, the characters from sanders sides will be playing whumpees, whumpers, and caretakers in an assortment of ways! characters will not always be named. sometimes it will just be (side a) or (side b), or it will just be labeled as "whumper" or "whumpee" if i don't really have a sanders sides character in mind for the scenario.
more info about my page and what i will and won't write below! (warning: i don't censor any of my words, so proceed with caution if that bothers you. some of the content i mention is very sensitive.)

For the ask game!! And sanders sides for the fandom
❤: Which character do you think is the most egregiously mischaracterized by the fandom?
💛: What is a popular ship you just can't get behind, and why?
🤍: Which character is not as morally bad as everyone else seems to think?
Gonna preface this by saying man you chose alot of hard ones anon, when it comes to the sasi fandom at least. Also it’s fun thinking about what me from years ago would’ve responded to these instead. Anyways.
❤️: …Janus I want to say? Lately leaning heavily into the wine-loving/sassy aspect of him which well. Ended up bleeding into canon more which idk how to feel about. It’s funny but I’ve seen it a lot lately and it’s getting a little annoying. Remus and Patton could also be up there for this section, for different reasons.
💛: This one has me stumped! I’ve been close to romantically shipping certain sides but I don’t actually ship any of them (side x side being most popular and majority of ships here). Remrom is the only one I can’t get behind at all since they’re brothers but that’s also not a popular ship anyways so…idk. Idm and could get behind any ship really, besides that one.
🤍: Patton. Does he have issues with how he processes situations as Morality? Yes absolutely. He can also be mean, intentional or not. But I still see some people call him evil for his actions which I think it’s a bit much. He’s trying to help Thomas the best he can in the ways he knows how- all the sides are.
#asks#thanks for the askk#first question reminds me of this really good janus comic#I need to find it again#idk if I could tagged this with fandom tags since it’s slightly critical#eh

For Thomas and Janus: What are your favorite relaxing activities to do together? And how do y'all feel about PDA?
Bonus question for Thomas. What's the easiest way to fluster the snek boy?
"We enjoy wine and movie nights at least once a week. That's definitely a favorite." "Sometimes Thomas will convince me that we should dance together. I suppose I don't mind that. ♥ As for PDA, I find it completely abysmal. Disgusting. Atrocious. Wouldn't dream of it."
"I like PDA. A little. Some hand-holding and little kisses. But nothing too gross. I don't want to make the people around us uncomfortable. And the easiest way to fluster Janus is telling him how pretty his scales look in the sunlight or fresh after a shed."
*embarrassed grumbles and hisses*

A tale: Moceit Au
Patton sat across Janus, his hands laying in his lap, the dirt and grime from living on the streets for years having been scrubbed from his skin, washed from his hair. The servants had to change the water out many times, and it had taken hours to get him to Janus' standards. He was then dressed in commoners clothes, with a necklace with his sigil dangling from the chain. It's the nicest thing Pattons ever been allowed to wear.
"My lord?" Patton murmurs as he eyes Janus' hands, the way he smoothly swiped the feather against his letter. Janus didn't bother to spare him a glance, he merely continued flicking his wrist, writing in beautiful calligraphy.
"Yes fawn?"
Patton hesitated for a moment. "Are the tales of you true?"
Janus pauses finally and sets the feather in the bottle of ink before turning in his chair.
"Yes and no." Janus stands from his seat and moves to grab a chess set. "Humans have twist the tales of my deals to fit their claims. Humans come to me, pleading, just as you had done. Whether it be for wealth or to help a love one. They expect everything but want to give nothing."
Patton frowns.
"I don't understand."
Janus chuckles lowly. "Allow me to tell you a tale then dear fawn."
Janus adjusted a book on the shelf, wiping off a stray piece of dust beginning to collect. "There once was a man, his name was Charles Hickorison. Charles desired a cure for a sickness killing his daughter, Anne. He begged and pleaded at my feet, hands curled just as yours was. I gave him a choice, no fae deal if left without payment after all, and a life to save is a large debt to pay you see. To save his daughter, he must give a life to save a life," Janus muses, grinning at the way Patton gasped. "Who's life it is, well, that was up to him. He chose an elder of the town, and was then hanged for his crime."
Patton swallows hard. "Did...did Anne survive?"
Janus chuckles lowly. "I cured her of her disease, the poor girl was ravaged by wolves a week later."

Godsides Ref Sheet
I've been working on my own version of the godsides idea (sanders sides as gods), and this is what I've got. (kudos to @thegoldenduckie for helping! I couldn't do this without you!)
This is going to be a long post, so here:
First up we've got the characters themselves! (this does include Remy and Emile, I know that they aren't sides, but I love them)
<<•>>
Logan
God of: intelligence, wisdom, strategy, memory, time, and space
Style: like an ethereal, noble, starcore, gay ass bitch
Age (as of Thomas): as old as the universe itself
Interests: poetry, science, mathematics, astronomy, Patton
Animal counterpart (+features): Raven, he has the wings of a raven
<<•>>
Patton
God of: emotion, empathy, health, animals, life, justice (morality)
Style: dad x kid core gay x that one nice librarian you met when you were five and have never seen since that one fateful afternoon but the memory of them has stuck with you forever x flowery cottagecore dresses
Age (as of Thomas): as old as there has been life on earth
Interests: baking, cooking, sewing, knitting, hanging out with the other gods (and Thomas!), gardening
Animal counterpart (+and features): dog, specifically a golden retriever, and he has the tail and ears of one (you fucking furry)
<<•>>
Virgil
God of: fear, instinct, paranoia, anxiety, monsters, weather (especially storms)
Style: a 2005 emo, but make it fancy
Age (as of Thomas): as long as humans have been around, is our best guess
Interests: watching horror movies, baking with Patton (don’t judge, okay?), keeping up with his anonymous tumblr blog (shh, the mortals don’t know it’s him), embroidery, cosplay, shitposting
Animal counterpart (+features): spider, multiple eyes/limbs?
<<•>>
Roman
God of: creativity, love, passion, the arts, honor, pride
Style: pretentious fuck at a ren faire
Age (as of Thomas): since art could be found (wow, so fancy you flamboyant little shit)
Interests: acting, poetry, writing, cosplaying with Virgil, dnd, fashion design/putting together outfits, pottery, photography, fencing
Animal counterpart (+features): lion, has a tail, ears, mane like hair?
<<•>>
Janus
God of: deception/deceit, puzzles, riddles, tricks, theatre, outcasts
Style: Victorian-era conman outlaw (now with added capes!)
Age (as of Thomas): since the first lie fell from a human’s mouth
Interests: fucking with the other gods, chess, gardening, witchcraft, winetasting, turning into a snake at zoos to freak out mortals (remus is with him obvi)
Animal counterpart (+features): snake, has his lil scalies, snek tongue, and eye.
<<•>>
Remus
God of: creativity, sex, the abandoned, chaos, mischeif
Style: fancy, alternative, androgynous, grunge
Age (as of Thomas): same as Roman (they’re twins, what’d you expect)
Interests: fucking with other the gods and mortals (but different), pole dancing, cooking/baking, solving cold cases from decades ago because he can, acting, drawing, painting
Animal counterpart (+features): octopus… (please help, what features should he have?)
<<•>>
Remy
God of: sleep, night, dreams (kinda)
Style: he looks like the vines and only that. No joke this god came into existence thirty minutes late with a Starbucks in hand
Age (as of Thomas); the first time someone slept ig???
Interests: going for walks/drives, stargazing, listening to podcasts, chatting, drinking coffee, talking with Emile
Animal counterpart (+features): raccoon, he’s got the bags under the eyes, but he chooses not to have any other features, and those are just cause he’s an insomniac
<<•>>
Emile
God of: the mind, illustrative arts, language
Style: similar to Patton���s, but a bit more masculine(?)
Age (as of Thomas): since humans evolved their mind enough to speak words everyone knew
Interests: watching cartoons, animation, pet care, crocheting,
Animal counterpart (+features): ram, he has horns!
<<•>>
Thomas himself is a mortal in this, but the gods have chosen someone to speak through every lifetime, and they chose Thomas. He's honestly pretty much the same as he is in the videos, though.
Ships include: Logicality (kinda going to be the focus), probably prinxiety and dukeceit, but there might be a bit of princeit. Logan acts as the "main character" seeing as he'll be around the longest, but all of them will be a focus.
That's most of what I've got for now, but I'll keep you updated as things progress.

Relationship Map for The Blood That Binds- A Sanders Sides X Vampire the Masquerade AU
There's a title now!!! From now on, posts under this project be titled and tagged with The Blood That Binds.
2 weeks ago I posted a poll asking if people would like to see Character Profiles or a Relationship Map first. The results showed a majority rule for the Relationship Map, which I am sharing today! But! I will be uploading the Character Profiles as well some time between now and the publishing of Chapter 1 (which I do still plan to release on Halloween).
Anyway, I've rambled enough- HERE'S THE MAP
So I know this is an absolute mess to look at so let me further explain how it's set up. Each character has their own color (I am aware of the shade similarity between Patton/Logan and Roman/Thomas but I genuinely couldn't think what other colors to use). The symbols next to most characters are their Clan Symbol- which I will further explain in the Character Profiles.
Characters connected by solid lines have interacted directly at least once. Characters connected by arrows have not interacted, but will interact in the beginnings of the tale. Below the cut, I've included some further explanations of the relationships.
Patton and Virgil
This is the dynamic that made me want to write this story in the first place. In this AU, Patton is Virgil's biological father. Through a misfortune that will be explained later on, Patton became a vampire when Virgil was still a baby (late 90s). Virgil grew up in the city believing his father to have passed away, all while Patton has been silently observing him from the shadows. At the time where our story takes place, Virgil has returned to the city after a little over 6 years away. And Patton is going to have a totally normal and rational reaction to seeing his son again.
Roman and Thomas
I knew I wanted to toy around with the supernatural power dynamic of a Sire Bond. And I knew I wanted Thomas specifically to be someone's Sire. In the context of the story, Roman was once Thomas' love, and was given the gift of immortality as a means to stay together forever. Thomas himself was still quite new to vampirism, and he quickly grew to regret making Roman. In the modern day, Roman is more like a lackey to Thomas. Following his beck and call in hopes of earning his favor once again. It has been over 70 years, and still Roman very much has the desperate hero vibes about him.
Roman and Virgil
Roman has spotted Virgil, and where the story picks up, he's beginning to close in. The only issue is he can't decide what exactly he'll do once he gets close to Virgil. He could make him a mindless Blood Slave. He could string him out as a forlorn lover. He could recruit him to his vampiric faction, as either a Bonded Ghoul or a fledgling vampire. His decision will drastically reform the dynamics of all those around him. But he's a little too lovestruck to realize the potential damage he could cause.
Logan and Patton
A healthy relationship?? In my toxic vampire romance? Yes, actually. Logan found Patton as a terrified fledgling who'd been abandoned by his Sire. Having roughly two decades of vampiric knowledge to rely on, Logan was quick to lend his talents to guide Patton. It became rather apparent that Patton did not take well to vampirism, and Logan's levelheadedness eased him into his new existence. In the modern nights, the two are inseparable. This is mostly at Patton's request, as he begins to grow paranoid in Logan's absence.
Janus and Remus
Janus is power-hungry and Remus is easily controlled. Janus has a few years of seniority over Remus, which he is quick to remind him of. Remus is also the only character who is beginning the story already Blood Bound. He has been Janus' thrall for since the 80s, and after spending over 30 years unbound, he just feels grateful to be noticed. He thinks being close to Janus gets him closer to Roman gets him closer to the command and power he truly craves. He views his Bond as a necessary evil. Janus views it as a means of controlling a scary guard dog.
Janus and Thomas
These two are both members of the Inner Circle, a sort of Sect within the Sect of the Camarilla. Those in the Inner Circle often interact directly with the Prince of the city (or whoever is in command) as well as following out any jurisdiction placed by the Prince. Janus and Thomas entered the Camarilla at roughly the same time, as well as being welcomed to the Inner Circle during the same night of Elysium. Their specific roles within the inner circle will be explained later.
Janus has always viewed Thomas as a potential adversary, believing that their power and influence combined could be immensely beneficial to the Camarilla. Thomas, on the other hand, is extremely jealous of Janus. He believes that their parallel rise to power is building up to an ultimate showdown where one of them will be forced to overtake the other. And he does not intend for Janus to have the advantage.
Remus and Logan
Remus has a 20 year advantage on Logan. At the time of their meeting, they were both strays who were not bound to any vampiric Sect. Remus viewed Logan as a fellow outcast, someone with skill and poise that could prove a useful asset in his major goals. Logan viewed himself as superior to Remus, believing his pragmatic approach to vampirism made him more appealing. They had a messy breakup, to put it lightly, and neither of them have made any attempt to reconnect.
Roman and Remus
These two are still canonically twin brothers. There's a lot to explain, which I will cover in better detail in each of their Character Profiles. But to summarize here: Roman became a vampire first, and has believed Remus to have passed away after being deployed during WWII. However, Remus did return home after the war, and had heard whispers of his brother joining a "secret society". Efforts to find Roman ultimately lead to Remus becoming a vampire himself. Rather than wallow over what had become his fate, Remus has instead spent the last few decades working to use his abilities as a means of finding Roman and taking all that he is.
Characters who have NOT interacted together!
Patton and Roman
Logan and Roman
Logan and Janus
Janus and Patton
Janus and Roman
Remus and Patton
Remus and Thomas
Logan and Thomas
Virgil and EVERYBODY
I believe that covers everything for now. My goal is to have a Character Profile posted every Friday between now and Halloween, and then posting Chapter One on Halloween as a way to enjoy the spooky evening. As always, if you wish to be tagged in this project, reply on this post or send me a DM.
Tag List: @sethlost @thearomanticsnake
Above board for a moment, I do want to thank everyone who has been encouraging this story. It's been a long while since I've written any major works, and I'm really excited to be worldbuilding again. So just- thanks for the kind words and the sharing and the support. Its really means a lot <3

are you ready for more taylor swift x sander sides lyrical analysis? cause i am! today i offer you:
me connecting "the archer" to virgil.
Combat, I'm ready for combat
I say I don't want that, but what if I do?
So imagine we are in a pre-accepting anxiety setting right now. Virgil spends his time with the others being aggressive and combative, but we know he doesn't want that he just feels he has too.
'Cause cruelty wins in the movies
This reminds me of "putting on a dark persona is the best way to get anyone's guard up." He assumes this is the only way he can help Thomas stay safe.
I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you
Y'know when you are mad at a person, or have any general build up of emotion towards someone, and you imagine conversations where you "win" against them? I can picture him thinking of a time where he maybe gets Thomas to take his side? idk
Easy they come, easy they go
I jump from the train, I ride off alone
We know he felt very alone and isolated during this period of time. But i also think of when he "ducked out" or "jumped from the train."
I never grew up, it's getting so old
His main reason for ducking out was the fact he thought he did more damage than good, but we know the animosity he received played a role. So I see the first part of this, "i never grew up", as him criticizing his own methods and the second part, "it's getting so old", as him referring to the insults from the others.
Help me hold onto you
at this point of the song we are now post acceptance, maybe even fitting in. We know the transition from antagonist to protagonist was a little weird, hence the fitting in episode, so him asking for help to be apart of the group would fit here.
I've been the archer
I've been the prey
At this point in the narrative these lines are referring to how he was the antagonist of the story, the "archer", and how he was also the receiver of constant insults and nicknames, the "prey".
Who could ever leave me, darling?
But who could stay?
It has been proven to Virgil that he is necessary for Thomas, but a level of insecurity with his place in the group is still there.
Dark side, I search for your dark side
But what if I'm alright, right, right, right here?
so jump to when he first told Thomas that we was previously a dark side. This specifically make me think about how he was trying to protect Thomas from the other dark sides because he knew how they work. He's searching for them, trying to keep them from Thomas, but he himself is a "dark side".
And I cut off my nose just to spite my face
Then I hate my reflection for years and years
this again sounds similar to how he was beating himself up about the fact he couldn't help keep remus from thomas.
I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost
The room is on fire, invisible smoke
this is literally just a description of anxiety. (i also personally headcanon that since virgil's room exaggerates one's traits and emotions that it would be a terrible place to have a panic attack)
And all of my heroes die all alone
Help me hold onto you
I've been the archer
I've been the prey
I feel the chorus here could either be seen as retrospection of the first chorus, that is to say it's referencing the same things, or it's referencing how he feels now that the dark sides are showing up. He's been the "archer", his pre acceptance days, and now he's the "prey" to new "antagonists".
Screaming, who could ever leave me, darling?
But who could stay?
(I see right through me, I see right through me)
'Cause they see right through me
They see right through me
They see right through
This is in reference to the other sides, both light and dark. The light sides know his history and hence he might think they see right through his new character. The dark sides can probably really see through him because they knew him for so long. Like when Janus showed up in Virgil's room after the phases episode. He can see through, or rather past the growth.
Can you see right through me?
this in reference to Thomas
They see right through
They see right through me
I see right through me
I see right through me
again this is just dripping in anxiety
All the king's horses, all the king's men
Couldn't put me together again
The light sides are trying to pull him into their group (and they have but don't tell him that he's having his little anxious moment) but he doesn't feel like he'll ever fully fit in.
'Cause all of my enemies started out friends
janus and remus
Help me hold onto you
he just desperately wants to protect thomas.
I've been the archer
I've been the prey
Who could ever leave me, darling?
But who could stay?
(I see right through me, I see right through me)
Who could stay?
Who could stay?
Who could stay?
You could stay
You could stay
You
I think he knows that at the end of the day things won't go back to the way they were before he was accepted. Things might get bumpy because of the whole dark sides thing but thomas at least sees his value now.
Combat, I'm ready for combat
he's not at a point now where he's willing to "duck out" again. he's going to stay and do his best to protect thomas and the others
