#cornelius x scrooge

[sparklesphobia]

I said Id be making a self insert oc for Scrooge to date and I have done just that!

This is Cornelius Brereton, a well-known writer and old friend of Scrooge who fell out of contact with the old miser shortly after Isabelle's decision to call off their engagement. He never blamed Isabelle for leaving, especially after seeing what kind of man Ebenezer was turning into. He left London and traveled for a while before returning to see that his old friend had returned to his old self, well as best he could. Scrooge offers him a place to stay, and over time, as they live together, their affections grow, springing into something they never thought would happen in their lifetime.

~Steal a kiss under the Mistletoe~

been falling in love with drawing more stuff with Cornelius and Scrooge, so enjoy this cute little doodle~

Scrooge's newest favorite habit is to sneak in kisses with Cornelius under the mistletoe in the spirit of the holidays.

Cornelius wasn't exactly subtle about his attraction to both sexes but Scrooge didn't want to assume, especially with Cornelius being a few years younger than him but he wasn't ready for this.

some more cornelius x scrooge sketches with a random bob for flavor~

[sparklesphobia]

After months of flirting, talking, and even clarifying his own sexuality and his attraction to the miser, Scrooge kept putting distance between them. More so after a night of drinking, they shared a kiss, which made Cornelius feel so happy but Ebenezer.. he got. Distant. Cornelius had already dealt with getting a broken heart with Scrooge, so he gave him an ultimatum. Either he told him he did not love him or admit his true feelings.

Woof! Man this took a little while but I'm happy with the way it came out, hope y'all are good with seeing Scrooge stuff again bc j don't know how long I'll be inspired for

Back in the day, Cornelius was in love with Scrooge but put away his affections after seeing how happy and in love Scrooge and Isabel were. As much as it hurt, he would've rather kept their friendship and his safety preserved rather than take the risk.

Goodbye Ebenezer..

Although Cornelius was in love with Scrooge, he wasn’t going to be his second choice after breaking Isabel's heart. Scrooge had changed too much, grown colder and crueler. So, as much as it hurt Cornelius, he put his foot down and broke things off with Scrooge, pushing himself further into his career for comfort/distraction.

I've missed drawing my boy Cornelius so I just sat down and threw this out ^u^

Extra version inspired by an rp I was in ;)

[sparklesphobia]

Been a while since I've drawn my man Cornelius. I gave him a more modern look for a new rp server I'm in, bc sadly the last one was deleted/abandoned due to some unfortunate circumstances. Anyways! I hope you like this and have a wonderful day/night!

Also I'm so sorry for not posting anything Scrooge related this month, it's been busy as hell at my job so I haven't had the time nor the energy to sit down and draw anything.

Scrooge x Cornelius (oc) rant

I love thinking about Cornelius's romance with Scrooge and how cute it is. Man fell in love with Scrooge when they were teen/young adults, but put off his feelings out of fear and, for Isabel's sake. But after shit hit the fan and Scrooge was a single man again, he rejected him bc of how much he had changed. So he quite literally went, "fuck you and fuck this I'm outta here!" And left to become a writer.

And he was successful! He became one of the most well-known romance writers London had ever seen! He traveled, learning new languages so he could expand his art. He was a player, dated women and men alike in droves. But as he got older, he wanted to settle down (not bc he was worried about what people would think of him/sar) But out of panic and stupidity he cheated on his fiancé, told her and she quickly called off their engagement. He became a heavy alcoholic but bounced back from that as time passed.

And then! After years, Neil, in his early 60's decides "I'm tired of having no real roots, I'm going to move back to London." So he hops on over after Scrooge's redemption bc he has to do a book signing but also to look at his housing options. Scrooge magically spots him in the shop, pops in to say hi, and Neil is like, "bro tf why are you being so nice?" So he meets up with him later and roasts this man for his past shitty behavior only to not get the reaction he hoped/expected so he decides "fine, I'll give you a chance but if you fuck up I'm out." AND HE DOES!! They meet up for coffee, lunch, dinner, and drinks. He even shows up to his home for the Christmas party, to which he's really warmed up to Scrooge, happy to see him acting like his old self. Scrooge offers him a place to stay bc the housing market is atrocious, and it'd be nice to have a familiar and comforting face to see when he returned home. Cornelius finally gives in and picks one of the guest rooms to officially live in.

Over time Scrooge has been reading some of his books on his down time and starts to notice a pattern and confronts him about it to which Cornelius calmly admits that yes, most of his romance novels are based on his real relationships and he has changed the sexes of some characters so the book would sell. He happily admits his sexuality, claiming he has no shame in who he is, and if Scrooge has a problem, he can suck it. Scrooge is impressed, moved by his bravery and assurance of himself. Time passes as they get closer and closer, that old love sparking is Neil's heart despite his hesitancy. He doesn't feel he is worthy of love, especially by Scrooge, who, in his mind, was a better man than he. But he can't hide from his feelings forever. He watches Scrooge, assessing him and his standing with Neil. He feels like perhaps he shares his affections, and after a night of accidental kisses, he expected Scrooge to confess. But he didn’t so he gave him an ultimatum. Either he admits his feelings or Neil leaves. He won't stand to hide his feedings for the someone he loves while living in their home. Not again. Scrooge is cornered and admits his feelings, leaving Cornelius overjoyed! And so they start dating, the only person who knows being the maid they had hired. They pay her well so she says nothing, especially since it's not her buisness.

Cornelius still travels, just not as often because he misses Scrooge's company and vice-versa. He admits he wishes he were a woman so that they could have a family and that they could be openly affectionate without fear of being arrested or assaulted. But he puts those thoughts out of his mind as best as possible, enjoying every moment he can with Scrooge, locking away memories and affections for safe keeping.

Out of scrooge and Cornelius who's the more incharge one?

Oh and does Cornelius let scrooge call him Cornie or does Cornelius just give him that look of 'what did I tell you about calling me that'

Or does he like that Scrooge affectionately calls him that?

Cornelius is the more in charge/confident one between them as it takes Scrooge some time to adjust to Cornelius's flirtatious ways and presence. But after a while it varies on the time of day and who initiates the first command. Scrooge is ever the gentleman, but learns that Cornelius does not mind being told what to do 😏

Cornelius would definitely be unsettled and confused by the nickname, unsure how to feel about it but would grow fondly of it soon enough, finding it cute and sweet Scrooge wants to call him a nickname.
