Question for you:

Imagine if Daniel Swift, Collins Angel and Swedes Seed meet their genderbends? 🤔

Yeah. To be honest, Collins actually has tattoo in his arms behind his sleeves

[isas-bathbombs]

Is this RL character a swiftie?

Angie

oh absolutely. she’s annoying about it too

she has gotten into arguments over it

her twitter is just her bullying jake gyllenhaal and kanye west

she’s that one swiftie who tricked people into believing starbucks would give them a free drink if they streamed lover

her fav songs are definitely new romantics, 22 and shake it off

i think her fav era is lover

biggest ME! defender. she was devastated when “hey kids, spelling is fun!” was removed

Dani

probably not, but she hears it a lot because of angie and cass

its unavoidable for her so she probably knows more songs than the average person

doesn’t have strong opinions on her, but vibes with some of her music

would defend her despite not knowing shit

her hopeless romantic ass would love enchanted

Bela

no but she’d LOVE evermore and folklore’s lyricism if she gave it a chance

she would love the lakes and cowboy like me

hears a lot from cass and is lowkey annoyed by it

but she would 100% go with cass and dani to a concert if they asked her to come

she’d even make friendship bracelets for it. its so funny to imagine her having a meltdown bc it’s actually super tedious and the string keeps breaking and the beads go missing or shooting to her eye

ur telling me swift didnt write mad woman and the archer about bela? :/

Cass

YES. THE BIGGEST SWIFTIE

her fav album is 1989. she cried when TV came out

she was first introduced to taylor swift from the hannah montana movie and the song crazier changed her life

she forced elena to queue for eras tour tickets with her

she even cancelled rehearsals to get those damn tickets

make a joke about taylor's jet and she'll get mad

“im sorry did mother nature write style? yeah i dont think so.”

she listens to how you get the girl like its real instructions

probably has also gotten into online arguments about her too

when red TV came out, she asked you to temporarily break up with her for 10 mins so she can experience all too well properly /j

is a james hater without realizing she’s kinda him

the type of person who would pause a conversation and go “wait i got a taylor swift lyric that fits this”

Donna

no but would hear a lot from angie

similar to bela, she’d love evermore and folklore if she gave it a chance

she would’ve loved hoax and happiness

Alcina

has beef with taylor for absolutely no reason

one time cass would be playing the piano and she’d be like “oh wow that’s beautiful. what piece is this?” and then lost it when cass said it was a taylor swift song

she’d love false god if she listened to it tho. you’d probably be able to get her to like taylor if she listened to the right songs

Miranda

a hater /j

Hi muffin!

Can you please do a dimitriscu fam x age reg r?

Except r is around 19 so in general she's also the youngest and she never had a loving mother so she lives to call alcina mama a lottttttt.

Let's say she was abused by her previous family a lot, little to no food, made to clean ho after them, not allowed to eat at the table and made to sleep outside at some point. And the Dimitriscu family undoes each one of the damage slowly

(Ur fics are so comforting, I hope you have a good day )

Awhhh, absolutely! Some platonic loving and fluff is super needed, I feel XP I’m happy to see my work bringing comfort🙇‍♀️!

Let’s get into it :)

Masterlists

Arriving at the castle, you didn’t have high hopes

In fact, following the whispers and rumors heard in the village, you were sure you wouldn’t last one month

Hell, they called it. The devil’s den

Full of monsters

A place bringing only despair. Blood, and death. Pain, helplessness. Isolation

Yes, there is pain, and death, and isolation

But, that isn’t quite the whole story

Sometimes, innocent maids are hurt

Often, they are not nearly as innocent as the villagers and other maidens like to make them out to be, some outright trying to hurt the castle’s inhabitants directly or indirectly

You don’t want to hurt them, and not only because you’re sure they’re able to kill you instantly, should they choose to

No, you… you find humanity in them, more than you have in the villagers and maidens around you, more than you have found in your parents

Alcina Dimitrescu is…stern. But not mean

She expects loyalty, and efficiency. She expects the staff to do their work, to think critically when needed and obey mindlessly at other times

Bela Dimitrescu, you find, thinks similarly, not standing for incompetence and laziness

Cassandra Dimitrescu cares little for the maids, seeing them as playthings only. And still, you find humanity even in her

You see how bored she is, how very annoyed at times

Knowing this, you’ve never once been at the receiving end of her blade, staying away when you sense she’s frustrated, offering and listing things to do that you’re sure the sadist will like when she gets a little too close

And lastly, Daniela

She’s the first to have truly interacted with you

While attempting to flirt at first, quite usual for the redhead, her gaze shifted after a little while of talking to you

While described as manic and dangerous, you find Daniela is the most like a human, desperate for love and happiness

She’s eager to have conversations with you, to genuinely get to know you

She’s curious about your life, even tells you a little of hers

At the beginning of your time working at the castle you already find a friend in her, finding it easy to talk to her

With her cheery, youthful attitude and behavior, it’s easy to see she’s the youngest, easy to imagine she isn’t all that much older than you, years instead of centuries

Then, one day it changes, when the castle is attacked by lycans hunting in the nearby woods

You know the procedures, know what to do, have been trained

Yet, raw fear is what’s eating you alive, fear you haven’t felt since leaving your family to work at the castle

And abandoning all instructions, you decide to hide in the nearest room you could find

A room that just happens to be Alcina Dimitrescu’s private chambers

For most, this would mean a swift death. The staff is not welcomed into any private chambers unless specifically selected and tasked to enter them

Alas, even when the abnormally large woman stands before you, her claws out, she recognizes you as the little human befriending her lonely, youngest daughter

The loyal one, Daniela calls you

The sweet one

The honest one

The young one

And looking at your face, the matriarch immediately saw it. Your youth. Your fear. Your helplessness. Your desperation that drove you to hide out here

She pulls in her claws again, looking you over

Such a little face, such fear in your wide eyes

This is no place for a thing as young as you

Who of her staff has employed you?! You’re barely of age

When the door rattles and another lycan is heard breaking into the other side of it, trying to claw its way in, she does what comes instinctively for her, even when back then she doesn’t yet know why

You squeak in surprise and terror as you’re lifted, high off the ground, just out of reach when the door eventually gives in

Instead, you’re safe as the few Lycans at the other side are slaughtered easily, hiding away your face to spare yourself the brutal display of metallic claws digging through fur and flesh

You realize; she’s holding you by your waist, has gently raised you to her hip, where you can hold onto her shoulder for balance and hide in the fabric of her dress as growls are all that is still heard before the lycans die down

Alcina, on her part, feels- odd

The way you cling onto her dress in fear, hide away, the way you feel fitted against her

It reminds her of the times her three daughters were but newborns, clinging to her as she carried them, their little legs, while adult sized, not nearly strong enough to hold them up yet. How they had wobbled unsteadily like baby deers, holding onto their Mother and whining and screeching to be lifted when they inevitably became irritated at their inability to walk just yet

You aren’t one of them

And still…

You feel so familiar in her arms

So right

Like you are hers. Like you do belong to her

She thought she saved you for Daniela, thought she saved you to keep her daughter’s one friend alive. Alas, that isn’t the only or main reasoning behind her action

Instinct, rather, which she feels again now Alcina feels your little, human hands on her dress, holding tight even as you’re too shy to ask to be let down or to ask to stay with her

You want to stay

She saved you

She’s holding you so…kindly

You feel safe, maybe the first time in your life

Never has your family held you like this. So…gentle

You can tell she’s holding back her strength on purpose to avoid hurting you, easily displayed by how quickly she destroyed the intruding lycans

As though stuck in this position, you only hold onto her as she walks out the room, ducking too when she ducks through the doorway and reaching up automatically to hold her hat for her when it dares slip from her

At this, you hear a surprising, new sound

Laughter

Fond laughter

No mocking is evident in her tone, only wonder and fondness, even glee

You can’t help but blush, and when you’re sure she isn’t looking, hide back against her shoulder

Against her, you feel and are so incredibly small, held easily with one hand, lifted high above the ground and all threats

You’re brought to a room you don’t recognize, though soon figure out it must belong to Daniela by the many romance books on the shelves, the fluffy pillows and unorganized mess on the ground

Embarrassingly, you almost whine when you’re set down on the bed, losing the comforting touch of the older woman

You refuse to make a sound, can’t make a sound, only look up with wide, somewhat teary eyes

You can’t help that, even as you actively force yourself not to reach for her again already

You’re scared, and don’t want her to leave

As if sensing this, her large hand raises, and your cheeks burn up when the woman cups your face in her hand

This comfort…you can’t help but let a few tears drop, utterly overwhelmed by your fear of the lycans and the strangeness of the situation

Never have you heard of any of the ladies of the castle treating a human like this, except maybe a lover

You know though, a lover isn’t what the older woman sees in you. Still, you don’t yet know what she sees instead

“You will be safe here, little one”, she promises, her voice sure and steady. You gulp, nodding at her words

You don’t know what else to say, what else to do. Can only obey as you have all your life

She shoots you an involuntary smile, the soft kind that is normally only reserved for her precious daughters

When she leaves the room and blocks the door behind her, you immediately miss her

You frown, confused

You don’t even know her that well, know practically nothing about her

Oh; but you felt so, so safe in her arms

You sit in the large, comfortable bed for a little bit, but soon get up, feeling guilty and wrong for being in such a nice room, such a nice bed

You know, this isn’t yours

This is Daniela’s

Will she be furious to find you here?

You whimper as your own thoughts threaten to overwhelm you

Instead, you decide to help out, cleaning the messy room and putting lost books back onto the shelves and pencils back to the desks, clothing to the closet or a pile at the corner of the room, pillows back into the bed

You think, Daniela will like it. You know how she wants her things cleaned by now, know she doesn’t necessarily care about a specific pattern and organization system like her eldest sister

Hours pass, the monstrous sounds from the outside of the room slowly dying down a little

You jump when flies surround you, flinch when arms wrap around you

“You’re okay!”

Huh?

You find yourself smudged against Daniela’s chest, the one disadvantage to your clear height difference, whining a little as you try to turn your head away

She giggles at this, but doesn’t release you

“You’re fussy today!”

You almost immediately freeze up, thinking she’s scolding you, but her tone is light and her words accompanied by giggles

She holds you tight, but her grip is not too tight, doesn’t hurt you

“I just wanted to check on you, little one. We’re almost done!”, she promises

You’re so confused…do they all care for you?

Why?

Simply because you’re considered Daniela’s friend?

When no response comes from you, the redhead simply talks again

“Oooo, you cleaned my room! Perfect!”, she coos, giggling when she grabs one of the daggers you found and placed on her desk

Then, something unexpected

You freeze when she leans down, gently pressing a kiss to your forehead

Your eyes nearly go cross trying to see, and your cheeks are bright pink when she pulls away

Immediately, she coos and cups your warm cheeks

“Sit tight, little one!”, she giggles as she swarms off again, leaving you flustered and confused yet again

Standing still for a few moments, you eventually manage to move again, until you stand at the mirror and see the black lipstick mark left on your forehead

For the first time she feels less like your friend, but rather- familiar

Almost like the older sister you always wished you had, the caring and loving kind, the one to protect you from the cruelty of this world and your family

You never got this lucky, sadly

But…it feels so nice, you don’t even brush the lipstick mark from your forehead

Staying in her room, you find there isn’t much to do, really

You don’t want to snoop around, don’t want to touch Daniela’s things without permission

You sit at her desk, try hard not to touch anything of hers

That is, until your eyes catch sight of the little bottle standing on her shelf

Could it be?

You rise from the chair you’re sat on, gently hold the small bottle in your hand

Soap bubbles?

Despite your worry regarding touching her things, you just can’t resist

You unscrew the top and coo at the shape and the soap glistening inside of it

Blowing, your eyes widen at the colorful bubbles now floating through the room

You giggle happily, blowing some more

Never have you felt this happy, this carefree. Never, unless maybe before, carried and held tight to Alcina Dimitrescu’s large and warm body

You playfully poke one of them, giggling as it pops

And another. Another

You blow more, set the bottle down and chase them around the room eagerly

When you manage to catch them all, you blow more, more and more

The beautiful, colorful bubbles move about in the room, and you can’t help but chase them yet again

Only when you’re about to climb the bed to reach the highest ones, the door opens

Startled, you nearly fall off the large, high bed. In fact, you’re sure you do, even squeal in shock and close your eyes, bracing for impact

Only does it never come

Strong arms hold you, catching your body just before you fall

When you look up, you find Cassandra staring down at you, her eyebrow raised, her face smeared with blood as usual

Your bottom lip quivers automatically, assuming you might just be next

Alas, pain does not greet you

In fact, noticing your reaction, she lifts you almost gentle, settling you to sit at her hip. With your height difference, you find you sit even rather comfortably, if not as comfortable as you were by her mother’s hip

You’re rocked, soon find comfort wash over you

You’re so exhausted, having worried for the past hours, cried at every little noise from outside the room

You can’t help but rest your head against her shoulder, can’t help but raise your hand to your face and suckle at the tip of your thumb softly

Perhaps, you will die, as the many villagers and maidens predicted, as your family teased

But you’re so comfortable, so happy to be held for the second time in your life, you can’t bring yourself to care or even to pull away

Listening to the buzzing sounds of Cassandra’s blowflies, you feel your eyes sleep shut and sleep take you, exhaustion and worry at last catching up to you

When you awaken, it’s on top of something comfortable and warm, soft and hard just the right amount

You think you’re alone for a moment, but then voices prove you wrong

Even before you can open your eyes, you recognize Daniela’s voice

“Is she up yetttt? I want to play with her, Mother!”

What?

Then, another voice. Lady Bela

“Will you calm yourself, Dani? You know you aren’t supposed to play with her yet. You’ll just hurt her!”

A scoff. A sound that implies Daniela just stuck her tongue out at her sister and exhaled sharply. Met with a playful shriek

“Nuh uh! I won’t! I hugged her before and she was completely fine!”

And lastly, another voice, deeper and more mature than the one of the sisters

“Calm yourself, dragas, and don’t forget yourselves. Such little humans are sensitive”. She speaks as if she’s looking at one sister directly. Daniela or Cassandra, if you had to guess

And still, you don’t quite understand

You open your eyes and blink away the exhaustion, finding your cheek smudged against a soft, white fabric

Pondering on it for a moment, you recognize it as Alcina’s dress even before you lift your head and find out, to your surprise, embarrassment and slight horror:

You’re right on Alcina’s lap, dozing when you should 100% be at work

You scramble up immediately despite the remaining exhaustion you feel, causing all of their attention to shift to you

The smile Alcina shoots you…you almost can’t take it, it’s so sweet, so gentle

You flinch automatically when a body throws itself against your back, a little too enthusiastic, a little too playful and eager to talk to you again

In your tired state, you’re somewhat shameless, automatically squeaking as you lunge forwards, gripping onto the front of Alcina’s dress as you press yourself against her

She coos only, whereas you hear a few giggles from behind you

Flustered, you merely stay as you are, whimpering and trying to resist the urge to bite into the soft fabric at your face

You find yourself turned though, held gently on top of the tall woman’s comfortable lap. You’ve never felt so small, so little in mind and body, surrounded by women older, taller, and oddly caring

Your eyes meet the dark golden ones of Cassandra, then drop down to her hands, lazily playing with her sickle. She sends you a smile, more genuine than you have ever seen her wear before

Flustered, you turn to watch Bela, draped along the sofa with her younger sister, her head in Cassandra’s lap, her eyes closed as though ready to fall asleep

And lastly, Daniela, halfway on top of her mother’s lap too, smiling and waving at you

Shyly, you wave back at her

You feel a large arm wrap around her, gentle fingers holding you

You’re so confused; what’s happening? Why are you here? Is this the end?- it doesn’t feel like the end. It’s warm and comfortable, happy even

You feel Daniela hug you first, her grip tight at first, but she quickly holds you a little gentler when Alcina reminds her to mind her strength

“We’ll have so much fun together!”, she cheers

You only nod, unsure what she means by this

Then, she turns, and you giggle as she swarms over to Bela upon seeing her asleep. Being the younger sister she is, she shakes her sister’s shoulders roughly, laughing in delight when she’s chased in return

You watch them all for a moment, content to blend into Alcina. Despite somewhat knowing them, you can’t help but feel shy and out of place

Ignoring the two women’s bickering- which eventually drives them to tackle each other and roll onto Cassandra’s lap, who joins in hissing and growling- the tall woman lifts you a little

You find yourself on face level with her, your wide eyes looking into her golden ones

You even see your reflection in them and must resist the urge to wave at it

“Tell me about yourself, little one”, she asks- or demands? You aren’t too sure, but don’t question her either

Being too exhausted and confused to be anything but truthful, you tell her everything, tell her about your family and how they sent you off to die at the castle the moment you outgrew your use

You wish you could tell her more, could tell her of interests of yours, about your friends

But you weren’t encouraged to explore, to express yourself, to define interests, to make friends

As such, you have painfully little information you can provide her with, but she doesn’t seem to mind

Her heart breaks to hear your family abandoned you, yet, a flash of possessiveness sparks within her too

She doesn’t know why, doesn’t know why now; but she must have you

She wants to hold you, day and night, your precious eyes set on her, to keep you safe and happy

But Alcina Dimitrescu has lived long, far too long to play and act coy or insecure, and far too noble and powerful to ask for permission

You’re hers, she has decided, and claims so out loud, too, something you assume the three sisters have known ever since she left you in Daniela’s room, thus the reason the castle’s sadist was so uncharacteristically gentle with you

“You’re mine now, little one”

You know the words should scare you, should make you worry

You don’t fully know what they mean, but you know you’ll embrace whatever is to come, pain and happiness alike

From this day on, your relationship to the Dimitrescu family changes dramatically

No longer employed as a maid, you’re given a larger room, nearby Alcina’s and Daniela’s wing

True to her promise and claim, you are Alcina’s, and everyone knows it

Still getting used to the affection they all effortlessly grant you, you like to stick near the head of the family, often sitting rather quiet and merely cuddling into her

Dinners and breakfasts are shared with them, though being the youngest allows you to stick with at least one member of your new family at nearly at times

When Alcina is too busy to even hold you on her lap, you’re allowed to play with Cassandra, usually chasing or playing hide and seek together

She always wins, but you don’t mind. It’s just nice to have someone to play with. A sister, not only to play with you but ready to snarl at all who as much as give you a mean look

When Cassandra is in the basements, there’s still always the option of being with Bela

You find you sleep best around her, her voice comforting, the quiet atmosphere of her room a nice break from the chaos you and your other two older sisters get up to

Often, you’re allowed to sleep on top of her lap, sucking your thumb idly as you do

Sometimes, she even takes a break and reads to you, or teaches you new things

Daniela is always a joy to be around and often makes time for you, giddy she gets to be an older sister at last

One by one, day by day, they slowly help you understand right and wrong, slowly correct the mistakes made in the past

At dinner, you’re allowed a seat at the table, often even allowed to sit on one of your family’s laps instead when you’re feeling clingy

You get to eat as much as you want, yet never have to empty your plate when you don’t want to

You no longer are made to take the leftovers and sit outside, instead feel the warmth and happiness of a family dinner

With Alcina, there is only one rule: no playing with your food, which especially your two older sisters like to break occasionally while Bela scolds them

Unlike with your family, Alcina never gets scary, though, even when they do this

Instead, she drags giggles from you and Bela when she sighs dramatically, rising from her chair and catching the two sisters before they can swarm off

They’re usually held by the hoods of their dresses like misbehaving cats held up by their scruff, whining about this and that until they promise they will be good and are let down again

Alcina never yells at any of you, never hurts any of you

Bela is never mean to you, never mocks you when you don’t understand what she’s saying

You’re still so young, after all

Cassandra, despite her reputation, never gets rough with you, always protects you from pain

She never grants you a look at exactly what she does in the basements, especially after she told some of it to Daniela once and you had nightmares for a few days

And Daniela is never mean to you, never switches up with her moods around you. She teaches you to express yourself, shows you so many things to help you find what you truly like

You feel safe around them

Do you feel loved? Well, you aren’t entirely sure what that feels like. You don’t ever want to lose them, and know they feel the same way. You’re happy to see them, and you know they feel the same way. You trust them, rely on them, you’d protect them with your life

You love your family, and they love you

As even more time passes, weeks turning into months, you too become more comfortable

In the time spent, you’ve become even more comfortable around them all, especially Alcina

While you love your older sisters, you’ve somewhat turned into a Mama’s girl, wanting to be with her at all times, giggling when she playfully tickles you or lifts you high above your head

The first time you refer to her as this, mama, had her shocked in the best way

Curled up by her side and about to fall back asleep after a nightmare, you let the word slip

“Thank you, mama..”

A tiny whisper in the darkness

A whisper enough for her eyes to widen and a huge smile to spread on her lips

Her little one calling her mama!

You don’t quite recall it in the morning, but when she automatically begins referring to herself as your mama, your heart tightens and tears spilled over

She’s your mama, and she’s the best mama in the entire world!

You love to refer to her as this, too, smiling wildly whenever you get to do so

Alcina never grows tired of hearing it, even encourages you by occasionally asking things like “What has mama’s baby got there?” when you’re about to show her something you’ve made for her or even “How does mama’s little one feel today?”

Soon, she comes up with a new nickname for you, calling you her “little cub” to differentiate from “little fly”, a nickname often used on your older sisters due to their biology

You don’t mind at all

With mama being the big mama bear, you’re happy to be her cub

With your mama and sisters by your side, you’ve never felt happier

No more are the days of skipping meals, not when you’re sat at the family table, giggling when Daniela and Cassandra once again make a scene, humming happily when Bela occasionally spoils you and feeds you, or simply smiling and holding onto your mama as you’re cradled once you’re full

No more do you have to sleep outside, having your own room

Still, you find yourself hardly sleeping there, preferring your mama’s bed, or even one of your sisters’ beds when you crave their attention or affections instead

And, no longer must you fear, because you know your family will forever look out for you, forever encourage you, forever love you

Daniela Dimitrescu (Resident Lover) Headcanons:

------------------------------------------------------

Requested? ❌

"Naiintindihan ko naman, iniiwasan mo lang masaktan."

"I understand, that you're just avoiding being hurt."

Summary: Headcanons about Daniela Dimitrescu (+ MC Romance Route so this contains Filipino Pop Culture references and Tagalog words. Translations will be provided in the Author's Note section at the end of the work.)

Warnings: Minor Angst (Bela's cameos), Suggestive themes, SPOILERS FOR DANIELA'S ROUTE!

Genre: RomCom, Fluff, Slice of Life, Minor Angst

Resident Lover Masterlist

----------------------٩(◕‿◕｡)۶-----------------------

Regular Headcanons:

Secretly a fan of "Mama Mia".

Listens to Taylor Swift's calmer songs when she's cruising on her skateboard.

Daniela is the kind of girlfriend to go all out every day. Even in just the little ways.

She always has a family picture of her sisters and her mother in her jacket pocket.

Never fails to put on perfume.

Has boards specifically for cruising at night.

Those boards have wheels that light up.

Has scars on her knees, chin, shoulders, and elbows from flying off her board countless of times.

Doesn't tap her skateboard against the ground to clap for her skating bros.

Opting instead to clap normally with her back in perfect posture, like she was clapping for a theatre play instead of a skateboarding competition.

The Dimitrescu sisters were brought up to be classy after all.

MC Romance Headcanons:

MC asked her to teach them how to take care of a board once.

Daniela cried when MC gifted her a custom skateboard put together by their own hands, the bottom painted with a scenery of the local skate park.

She hangs it up on the wall, never taking it out for rides.

Simply thinking of the masterpiece sustaining scrapes sends Daniela to tears.

Whenever she wakes up before MC, she wakes them up with gentle kisses.

Most times her kisses will litter MC's face with fleeting speed. MC wakes up with laughter on these days.

Sometimes her kisses are placed on MC's neck, and on their collarbone.

On days like these, MC wakes up pinned to the mattress.

Their eyes would open to Daniela hovering over them with something in her eyes. As if the beastly nature she got rid of left pieces of itself within her.

She also tries to make them breakfast or dinner at least twice a week, it never goes well.

The food of choice either ends up undercooked, or overcooked (Burnt)

MC once woke up at night to singing, and to a steady thumping on her room's table.

They opened their eyes to find Daniela singing them a love song, using their study table as a cajun box.

"Bro, I love you but... What the hell is happening right now?" Dani beams at the question, halting her singing and drumming to place her hands on her hips.

"Glad you asked babe-bro! I was bored, couldn't sleep, and had the internet at my full disposal, so found this little thing from your culture called 'Harana'!"

"... Bro, I- Appreciate the sentiment but I'm pretty sure that Harana is done by singing from outside the house, facing the window?"

Dani smiles, bright and sheepish and unapologetic and MC finds herself falling in love again. "Yeah true, but the thing is: We live on the 4th floor of this building and I'm honestly not sure if my voice could carry that far.."

Yes, MC and Daniela call each other "Bro" as an ode to their friends-to-lovers journey.

Daniela tries to sneakily pick out flowers for MC from the Campus bushes ever since going to her Aunt Donna's Flower shop was rendered impossible.

Bela caught her once, and dragged her sister to her council room office for an earful of a lecture.

"Just what do you think you're doing, desecrating University property like that?"

"Picking out flowers for MC, what of it?"

"You're just going to hand it over to them with it looking like that?"

Daniela bristles at the punctuation, her temper flaring. But just as she opens her mouth to defend her relationship, Bela walks over to her work table and whips around to face Daniela with a pair of stationary scissors.

"You've got to remove the thorns first, along with some of the leaves at the bottom of the stem. I've got to some spare colored paper in one of my desk drawers, we'll wrap it up in those once we're done pruning these. We may not be Aunt Donna but we can atleast do our best to make this presentable."

Daniela stops asking her eldest sister for favors using blackmail after that.

Bela smiles and Daniela can't quite place why her sister's smile sort of looks forced and bittersweet (She remembers still.)

The youngest Dimitrescu chalks it up to her sister helping her out despite being uninterested in romance. (She wants them, always will. But in this loop MC's with her sister so she keeps herself away.)

(Bela may be heartless but her nature is always selfless.)

I'm intrigued to knowing what type of music genre they all listen to, but we all know alcina likes jazz. But other than jazz, does she likes something else? 👀

Also, what type of music does Miranda even listen to? OMMGGG???

Miranda has two things she listens to. Publicly she listens to classical and like world recognized musicians. In private she listens to 80s-90s pop and yes I'm sorry to tell you she listens to Taylor Swift

She actually really likes Linkin Park

Donna likes listening to Michael Buble and Christina Perri too, people with soft voices that can be calming and as previously mentioned Mitski and Alt Rock

Cinder

for bela, she likes classical because she uses it to help her study, but she likes to a lot of angrier classical music like Dance of the Knights by Prokofiev

cassandra listens to a lot of musicals (heathers candy store is her number one song….for reasons, but she also likes cell block tango from chicago)

daniela likes listening to indie rock, old school rock, lo-fi for calmer moments when she wants to relax, but mostly she'll listen to everything, even angie's awful dj mixes

angie likes music that gets her hyper- think edm, house, rave, techno, pop music or remixes of popular songs. she hates classical because she thinks it's boring, and she also hates slow songs

alcina is mainly jazz, but she does on the occasion indulge in some swing and is surprised to find she doesn't mind electro swing but would never admit this to anyone or be caught dead listening to it

Secrets

Daniela Dimitrescu x Fem! Reader

TW: Fainting, Health Condition, Blood

------------------------------------------

The grand dining hall of Castle Dimitrescu was adorned with opulence, its regal atmosphere only heightened by the towering presence of Lady Alcina Dimitrescu and her three daughters. Amidst the grandeur, Y/N moved gracefully, fulfilling her duties as a maid with unwavering dedication. She had become an indispensable part of the household in the six months since she arrived.

Daniela, the youngest of the Dimitrescu sisters, had taken a particular interest in Y/N from the beginning. There was a mysterious allure about the maid that intrigued her, a subtle fascination that grew with each passing day.

On this particular night, as the aroma of a lavish feast filled the air, Y/N found herself assigned to the dining room. Lady Dimitrescu had requested her presence to ensure nothing escaped her attention during the meal. Unbeknownst to anyone in the castle, Y/N carried a secret burden—a health condition that threatened to betray her at any moment.

As the evening unfolded, Y/N felt the familiar signs. A wave of dizziness washed over her, threatening to engulf her senses. Desperation etched across her face, she approached Lady Dimitrescu.

"Excuse me, my lady," Y/N said, her voice steady despite the turmoil within. "May I be excused? I'm not feeling well."

Lady Dimitrescu, however, dismissed her plea with a curt nod. "You will stay. Attend to your duties," she commanded.

Fear flickered in Y/N's eyes as she tried to protest, "But I really—"

"No excuses," Lady Dimitrescu interrupted, her tone final.

Reluctantly, Y/N turned her attention back to her tasks, her movements becoming increasingly strained. Daniela, ever observant, noticed the subtle change in Y/N's demeanor. Sensing something amiss, she cast a concerned glance in her direction.

As Y/N reached for the decanter of wine, her vision blurred, and the world around her swayed dangerously. Panic surged within her, but she fought to maintain composure. Just as she grasped the decanter, an unforeseen misstep led her to collide with the corner of the table.

A sharp gasp escaped her lips as pain radiated from her forehead. Daniela, swift as a shadow, was on her feet in an instant. She could smell the metallic tang of blood in the air. With urgency, she ordered Bela to remove Cassandra, the more bloodthirsty of the sisters, from the scene.

"Dani," Y/N mumbled, her voice trembling.

Concern etched Daniela's features as she knelt beside the fallen maid. "Are you okay? What happened?"

Y/N's response wavered, her consciousness slipping away. "I just... I think I need to sit down for a moment."

But before she could complete her sentence, darkness claimed her, leaving the grand dining hall in an unsettling silence broken only by the distant echoes of the castle's secrets.

Daniela swiftly scooped Y/N into her arms, her strength belying her ethereal appearance. Carrying her with care, she ascended the grand staircase, navigating the castle's labyrinthine corridors until they reached her private chamber. Gently placing Y/N on the plush bed, Daniela's concern deepened as she observed the blood staining Y/N's forehead.

With delicate precision, Daniela retrieved a damp cloth and began tending to the wound. The cool touch of the cloth against Y/N's skin prompted a small wince, but she remained unconscious. Daniela settled beside her, a book in hand, waiting patiently for the moment Y/N would awaken.

As the minutes passed, Y/N stirred, her eyes fluttering open to meet Daniela's concerned gaze. The room was bathed in the soft glow of candlelight, and the scent of lavender permeated the air.

"Dani?" Y/N whispered, confusion etching her features.

Daniela offered a comforting smile, her fingers tracing patterns on the bedspread. "You took quite a tumble back there. Are you feeling better?"

Y/N hesitated, her gaze shifting away. "It's nothing, really."

The skepticism in Daniela's eyes was unmistakable. "Don't play coy, little one. I can sense when something's amiss. Now, tell me, what happened?"

A heavy sigh escaped Y/N, the weight of her secret pressing upon her. "I have a condition. Sometimes, I faint without warning. I didn't want to trouble anyone with it."

Daniela's expression softened, concern mixing with a touch of sadness. "Sweetheart, you should have told me. I care about you. Your well-being is far from a bother."

Tears welled up in Y/N's eyes as the sincerity in Daniela's words reached her. Gently brushing away the tears, Daniela whispered, "I want to be here for you, in good times and bad. You don't have to face this alone."

Y/N's voice quivered as she replied, "I didn't want you to worry or be burdened by my problems."

Daniela leaned in, her lips close to Y/N's ear, using a soft, comforting pet name. "Little one, your concerns are my concerns. I care about you more than you realize."

Y/N's resolve crumbled, tears streaming down her cheeks. Daniela continued to comfort her, whispering reassurances and affectionate words. In that intimate moment, the bond between them deepened, and Y/N found solace in Daniela's unwavering care and understanding.

Daniela's arms enveloped Y/N in a tender embrace, offering a comforting haven. She pressed a gentle kiss to Y/N's forehead, a gesture that spoke volumes of the solace she sought to provide. "Sweetheart," Daniela murmured, "you don't need to bear this alone. We'll face it together."

Y/N felt a warmth spreading through her, not just from the comforting words but from the genuine concern in Daniela's eyes. "I... I didn't expect you to be so understanding," Y/N confessed, her voice barely above a whisper.

Daniela chuckled softly, her fingers gently playing with Y/N's hair. "You underestimate the capacity of my heart, little one. It holds more than you could fathom, especially for someone as precious as you."

A soft blush tinted Y/N's cheeks, and she couldn't help but smile. "Thank you, Dani. I appreciate your kindness more than words can express."

Daniela's gaze softened, and she placed another tender kiss, this time on Y/N's cheek. "Anything for you, my dearest. You're not just a maid; you're a cherished part of this castle, and of my life."

In that intimate moment, time seemed to stand still. The flickering candlelight cast a warm glow on the room, creating a haven of tranquility. Daniela continued to shower Y/N with affectionate pet names, each one a testament to the bond that had formed between them.

"Little one, promise me you'll never hesitate to lean on me," Daniela whispered, her thumb gently wiping away the last traces of Y/N's tears.

Y/N nodded, a genuine smile gracing her features. "I promise, Dani. And thank you, truly, for being here for me."

Daniela leaned in for a soft, lingering kiss, sealing their unspoken commitment. "Always, sweetheart. Always." The echo of those words lingered in the air, a promise of shared moments, laughter, and support that would define the days to come in the castle Dimitrescu.

The 18 Buzziest Films for Sale at TIFF 2024

Mike Flanagan’s “Life of Chuck,” Angelina Jolie’s “Without Blood” and Ron Howard’s “Eden” are all looking for buyers in Toronto

While the Toronto International Film Festival won’t officially launch a sales market until 2026, this year kicks off on Thursday with multiple buzzy titles for sale starring the likes of Ben Stiller, Sydney Sweeney, Jude Law and Tom Hiddleston.

Hollywood descends upon the Canadian metropolis for starry world premieres and the unofficial start of awards season. But for years now TIFF has also been a place of serious business. Last year the Glen Powell rom-com “Hit Man” sold to Netflix for $20 million at the festival after a raucous screening.

“They’ve very much shaped this festival with a sales environment in mind,” Intrepid Pictures CEO Trevor Macy told TheWrap as he prepared to head to TIFF with the Hiddleston-fronted Stephen King adaptation “The Life of Chuck,” from writer/director Mike Flanagan. “It seems like buyers are showing up in force.”

And to prove his point, Sony Classics scooped up “Jane Austen Ruined My Life” on Tuesday ahead of the festival.

Over 270 films are on the market this year, and Macy said that the demand “for strong titles in this moment of the market is going to exceed the supply of what good distributors have made internally.” He pointed to the success of Neon’s “Longlegs” this summer — the Nicolas Cage horror film grossed over $100 million off a strong marketing campaign — as an indie that connected with moviegoers theatrically.

But Jay Cohen, a partner at Gersh who heads film financing and is selling titles at the festival, cautioned that studios may only be looking to buy must-have titles, not filling out their slates. “There are really interesting films going to TIFF, but distributors already have pretty full slates,” he told TheWrap. “So the market will be driven more by passion less than need.”

Which means that only top quality films with identifiable audiences will attract buyers. Still, one agent noted that many of the buzziest sales titles, while officially unsold, already have distribution deals that have not been announced.

Macy and Intrepid are aiming to utilize what TIFF brings to the table — specifically when it comes to audiences — to find the right distributor for “The Life of Chuck,” which is a detour for horror filmmaker Flanagan, best known for “The Haunting” series on Netflix and the “Shining” sequel film “Doctor Sleep.” The new film is more “Stand by Me” than “The Shining,” and buyers haven’t prescreened it at all, so they will be seeing it for the first time at its world premiere in Toronto.

“From the time we made this movie, our first choice was Toronto because of the audience,” Macy said of the decision to debut at TIFF. “Our movie is fun and life-affirming but kind of sophisticated, so you want the right audience for that.” He and Flanagan had success a decade ago with the indie horror film “Oculus,” which found a buyer in Toronto and grossed over $44 million against a budget of just $5 million. It jumpstarted Flanagan’s career.

Will “The Life of Chuck” have the same success? Here’s TheWrap’s rundown of that and 17 of the other buzziest sales titles playing at TIFF this year.

Nutcrackers • Eden • The Life of Chuck • The Deb • Without Blood • On Swift Horses • The Last Showgirl • K-Pops • Daniela Forever • All Of You • Ick • Relay • The Friend • The Last Republican • Vice Is Broke • From Ground Zero • The Assessment

Why is Sam (LL COOL J) in Hawai’i? That’s the mystery that’s been set up across the first three episodes of NCIS: Hawai’i Season3, and as Vanessa Lachey told us, “Tennant will figure it out.” Well, we’re certainly seeing her trying to do just that.

It all began in the premiere, when Ernie (Jason Antoon) tried to get anything out of Sam, only to come to the conclusion that he’s hiding something, despite the agent’s insistence he’s not. Then, in the second episode, Swift (Henry Ian Cusick), on his way out, told Tennant that Sam was sticking around and she’d have to ask him why. Sam evaded the question and would only say that brass has him teaching a seminar on unconventional tactics in modern law enforcement.

Now, in the third episode, Ernie remains suspicious of Sam, especially since he’s going around telling everyone about that seminar, as he notes to Tennant. It’s odd, that NCIS would send its top OSP agent to Hawai’i to teach a class. She agrees, but she doesn’t get anything more out of Sam, who tells her she can’t attend the seminar because it’s fully booked.

Then, Tennant and Kai (Alex Tarrant) find Sam has taken over the war room—and set it to SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility) level—for some work. “I was checking in with Kensi and Deeks back in LA, getting some details about a past case,” he claims, agreeing, when she suggests it, that it was for his seminar. “Safety first,” he says. Tennant’s clearly not buying any of it … which is why she tracks his visitor ID’s access and follows when he sets foot in the old admin basement across the street that hasn’t been used since WWII. Inside, she finds him teaching his seminar. It’s both as frustrating as Tennant finds it and entertaining as it sounds. But come on, would you expect this to play out any other way?

Karen Neal/CBS

At the end of the episode, Tennant joins Sam on his boat, and he again pretends he’s just in Hawai’i for the seminar. As far as an official cover goes, it’s a good one, she remarks, reminding him, “I spent half my life as a CIA officer. I know cover.” It doesn’t matter what she believes, she adds, just that she trusts him and she knows he’ll tell her why he’s really in Hawai’i when he can.

But we’re not as patient as Tennant is. Now, we have to wonder if Sam was really talking to Kensi and Deeks (played by Daniela Ruah and Eric Christian Olsen on NCIS: Los Angeles, which ended its 14-season run in May 2023) or someone else, plus if it was about a past case or something else. Before he came to the island, Sam was last seen in the��LA finale in Morocco, alongside Callen (Chris O’Donnell), Nell (Renée Felice Smith), and the team she’d put together—including Nate (Peter Cambor) and Sabatino (Erik Palladino)—as part of the mission to rescue Hetty. He was still there and therefore in the neighborhood, when he came to Tennant and Kate’s (Tori Anderson) aid in the Hawai’i Season 2 finale.

Could Sam have been talking to Kensi and Deeks or someone from that team Nell put together about Hetty? We haven’t heard anything about that mission to rescue her. What if Sam’s in Hawai’i because that’s the only place to get information as to her location or something that will help there? Or maybe there’s another open case that Sam’s working and he was talking to Kensi and Deeks about that. It could even technically be a past case that was never closed and therefore he wasn’t technically lying to Tennant and Kai. This could be why LL COOL J was vague when we tried to find out if we’d get an update on any of the LA characters with him now on Hawai’i.

Whatever’s going on, at least it’s clear that we will get answers, with Ernie suspicious and Tennant letting Sam know that he can talk to her when he can. What do you think is going on? Let us know in the comments below.
