KEN RYUGUJI [DRAKEN] — belly button piercing

Draken is a fan of piercings since he also has one on his left ear, so he will definitely be in awe once he notices that you got one for yourself at your belly button. He will be so proud since he knows that you were scared of doing it yet stunned at the sight. Whenever he sees you wearing a bikini or a crop top that makes the piercing visible, he will get so turned on that he will just want to fuck you at the nearest wall without caring if anyone cathes you both. "Fuck! do you know how hot that piercing makes you look?" Draken will groan against your neck. He may sometimes get jealous and act all overprotective, but he will grab you by the waist and hold you tightly if he ever suspects one of the gang members or even a stranger staring hungrily at you. "Babe, you’re hurting my piercing like that." You will get mad at him since his tough fingers and hands are so veiny and wide that they cover your entire belly and hurt your piercing.

KAZUTORA HANEMIYA — helix, daith, tragus

Kazutora is all about aesthetics. That’s why he adores your ear piercings, mainly the ones that stand out the most and are considered more eccentric and unusual by others. Not to himself, though. Kazu is a man who likes when you do things out of the ordinary and outside your comfort zone. That’s why he likes teasing you about it, and whenever you two make out, he always gets a strand of your hair and gently places it behind your ears just so he can peer at your ear piercings. “You’re so pretty like this you know?” His words and eyes will reflect a sense of devotion and compassion. He is awestruck about how much he adores your stunning beauty, including your piercings. Kazu is your number one supporter and fan. Let me tell you, when the two of you get matching piercings, he melts right on the spot. He will be acting like a child, and when you catch him blushing too, the teasing begins. “Awww my baby is a hot mess.” You casually make fun of him while Kazutora tries to cover his face.

BAJI KEISUKE — nose piercing [nostril] + nose hoop + nose bone stud

Baji is no exception to the other two boys since he also loves observing your every move and, of course, more than anything, your nose piercing too. Baji is a guy who likes piercings in general, and he is very tolerant of what you do to your body. He doesn’t like you having a bunch of piercings on you and especially your body, be it on your belly or nipples. He just doesn’t like it. However he is a sucker for nose piercings. Once he notices that you've got a nose piercing and you remove any other unnecessary piercings he advised you about, his smirk will be so evident that you will be able to see his broad teeth. “Suits you well babe.” His eyes will gaze at you softly. Now let me tell you, Baji is a guy who loves you despite what you do to your body and face. This is your life, and he is not some kind of controlling freak telling you what to do. However, since you asked for his opinion, he must be honest. “Suke, your nose—” You will always say this to him in cute annoyance. Baji typically enjoys pressing your noses together and giving you eskimo kisses just so he can admire how cool your piercing is.

HAKKAI SHIBA — lobe, upper lobe

Hakkai, meanwhile, encourages you to have an appearance that is less flashy. He is the type of guy who prefers one exceptional earring on your lobe or upper lobe over many of them, just as he does. Hakkai might be unable to express these desired thoughts to you because, as we all know, he can be awkward and shy when it comes to interacting with women. However, you shouldn't worry because, as you two grow closer, he will learn to be more confident and tell you that you are beautiful even without any piercings. But don't get him wrong. He won't mind if you want more piercings. The poor guy is just too afraid and embarrassed to let you know that he wants to get matching earrings with you.“Shiba-kun, you seem pale, what’s wrong?” You'll start to worry about your boyfriend's attitude out of concern. Hakkai doesn't want you to worry about him, so he will act as if everything is fine while secretly fantasising about how pretty you'll look wearing that earring of his. “y/n, how a-about I lend you my earring instead?” After that, Hakkai's flushed face won't be able to feel justice.

HANMA SHUJI — nipple piercings

As we all know, Hanma changes women faster than he can light up another cigarette. He is very keen on trying new things and experimenting, so it is no wonder he likes nipple piercings. He is a very nasty man who prefers to see your nipples filled with an accessory instead of nothing at all, especially when you have small boobies. Once you show Hanma that you have pierced your titties, he will be so eager to please you. Hanma goes crazy at the sight of his sin and punishment tattooed hands worshipping and touching your boobies like that. He will cup and suck your nipples really hard that you’ll have the best nipple orgasm ever. “Oh? Pretty girl’s getting shy all of a sudden?” His smirk will carelessly widen, and his ego will increase as his sayings make you blush even more. Since you pierced your nipples, Hanma hasn't let you rest and wants to touch your titties every second just to admire your piercings. “You’re noisy today.” You pout at your fuck buddy's teasing behavior while he continues annoying you.

hey just wondering if there’s a rough idea on the next instalment of healing hands 😍

Precious Anon, I was literally working on it when I got this message. I feel all the guilt that the new chapter isn't out because it's been ages. I will say that it started around a few thousand words and it's almost 14K now (oops). Since the wait has been so long, there's a sneak peak under the cut! <3 <3 <3

Ignoring the question, Sakura crossed her arms over her chest. “Tell me about the mission.” 

Kakashi raised one shoulder in a shrug. “It’s an S-ranked Anbu mission. You know I can’t give you the details.” 

“Well then, you also know I can’t clear him.” Sakura raised her chin to meet Kakashi’s dark, guarded gaze. As much as their friendship had developed over the past few months, he still managed to needle under her skin with little effort. Huffing out a frustrated breath, she continued. “How can you give me mission details when you send me the broken shinobi afterward, but not let me know what to expect? How does that make any sense?” 

The tense silence between them stretched for a moment as Kakashi formulated his response. Then, he sighed. “We have intel that a hideout belonging to Orochimaru is showing—” 

“You want to send him back to Orochimaru,” Sakura burst out, unable to contain her incredulity. “After everything he’s been through? How could you possibly think that’s a good idea?”

The lines across Kakashi’s forehead deepened, and Sakura realized that she might have revealed more about her relationship with Tenzo than she meant to. They wouldn���t have had much reason to talk about his past, especially since she had him on leave for medical reasons. But, as the Anbu medic, she had access to his file. Tenzo had admitted that much of what he’d told her was recorded inside. It wouldn’t have been unlikely that Sakura read it. 

Whatever conclusion Kakashi came to about the information, he kept his opinion to himself. “An abandoned research laboratory on the outskirts of the Land of Fire has been showing activity: disappearances, strange noises, and smoke. I need someone to secure the facility.” 

Refusing to be swayed, Sakura inclined her head. “And, you have dozens of Anbu who aren’t currently on leave. Send one of them.” 

The idea of sending Tenzo back to one of the facilities that he’d been trapped in as a child soured Sakura’s stomach. He would understandably be on edge and if something went wrong, it would set back weeks worth of hard work. Considering his slip with alcohol the night before, and the night terrors that came with it, Sakura couldn’t risk returning him to the field, not yet. He wasn’t ready. She had to find a way to protect him without damaging his trust again. 

“Sakura,” Kakashi chided, voice taking on the tone he’d used when trying to make her see reason as a genin. It hadn’t worked then either. “There are people disappearing, a couple of them were kids. If anyone knows how Orochimaru operates and how to capture him, it’s Yamato.” 

The plea tugged at Sakura’s heartstrings, but Tenzo needed just as much protection as those missing children did. If something went wrong, as it so often did on missions, she wasn’t sure how he’d react. His battered body in the hospital bed after his previous two missions flashed through Sakura’s mind. But, it gave her an idea. “I’ll grant his medical clearance on one condition.” 

The soft snort of disbelief from Kakashi didn’t match the ice in his gaze. “You do understand your input is a recommendation, right? I don’t have to follow your advice.”

“Yet, you keep asking for it,” Sakura countered, meeting Kakashi’s stare without flinching. There were only a few things that would make her stand up to her former sensei, and patient care was one of them. 

“What is your condition?” Kakashi shifted on the couch, a clear mark of discomfort. At least he was willing to entertain the idea. 

Sakura let out a measured breath to gather her courage. There was only way that she’d feel comfortable with Tenzo being back in the field. “Assign me to his team.” 

“Absolutely not.” Kakashi’s answer came almost as soon as the words left Sakura’s lips. “This mission has a high probability of failure, and you are not trained to handle these types of situations.”

Whose fault is that? Sakura managed to keep the question from leaving her lips, but only barely. Anger flooded her system at the implication that she was somehow less because she hadn’t received Anbu training. She had completed S-rank missions before, and her medical ninjutsu rivaled if not surpassed Tsunade’s. “If you’re worried about failure, I’m the best option to get your team out without casualties.” 

“This isn’t a game,” Kakashi growled, scrubbing a hand through his hair. “I know you’re a good medic, the best even, but Yamato’s team won’t cater to you if you can’t keep up.” 

“I don’t need anyone to cater to me.” Sakura gestured at her dirty clothes with one hand as if they explained everything. “This may come as a surprise to you, but I'm in the best physical shape that I’ve ever been.” 

Kakashi shook his head like the fact was of little consequence. “That may be so, but you aren’t Anbu. There won’t be an extraction team if something goes wrong.” 

“You think I don’t know that?” Sakura recalled the harsh reality that she’d witnessed at the hospital and Tenzo’s apartment since returning to the village. “I’m not a scared, untrained genin any longer, Kakashi-sensei.” 

The title melted the ice in Kakashi’s eyes, transforming it into something like pride. “I know, but that doesn’t make you ready for this type of situation.” 

Sakura blew out a tired breath, wondering how many times she’d need to prove herself before someone believed in her. “Because you don’t think I can do it?”  “Because I don’t want you to do it,” Kakashi corrected, leaning close enough for Sakura to see the pale flecks of silver in his eyes. It underscored the sincerity in his voice.

[dimiclaudeblaigan]

the idea of three hopes dimivain is also so funny to me tho bc dimitri goes and recruits miklan and then miklan just gets back only to find out his brother and king are Very Close and he's just like "oh god. oh no". he knows exactly what he is going to be subjected to for the rest of his life.

[hifrifrimetime]

In the process of coming up with a new idea for my tommy england/sixpack/dimi fic, I've realized there's some bits I'm going to have to rewrite. so here are some snippets that'll get changed but I still like a lot! Under the cut because it gets a bit long

.......

When the Fridays are incinerated, Thomas spends the day crying. It reminds him of the time he almost drowned when he was a little kid and got caught in a rip tide just off the Oregon coast. (Or the day of the Waveback). The taste of salt is overwhelming. Salt and snot. He wishes he could hear the pitched howls of a friend.

Then, it's the taste of blood. Bitter iron so consuming he's nauseous. The anger he tells himself he made peace with long ago surges in him. It's not fair. Not them.

Then it's just ash. Soot caking his mouth, dry as a desert. Days.

He's cleansed by the jailbreak. Fresh. Thomas screams and screams and screams his throat raw. He almost smashed his skateboard caught up in the waves emanating from him. It's the happiest he's been in a long, long time.

And then everything is weightless and the world goes black.

-------

The first thing he manages to feel again is the sensation of losing his breath. He's falling. Fuck he's falling fast and long. But it's not him. He experiences it like a dream; it's happening to him, but he's just an actor in a role.

Then everything tingles. It starts soft, barely a shiver, growing exponentially more, like his leg has fallen asleep but it's his whole body, and then more and more until it becomes painful to even twitch and everything is tv static.

And then he wakes up. Or returns. Or is simply conscious again. Thomas could never quite figure out what terms to use to accurately describe his retroactive non-existence existence.

Regardless. He's back in apartment 9C263, in his bed, blinking away the residuals of vertigo as he sits up. His room looks different. It's the same it's always been... but also not.

But it doesn't matter. Because as soon as he's remembering setting up his desk in this corner but somehow also that one, a mass of fluff and slobber and love comes bounding through the door and launches herself at Thomas without hesitation. They topple to the floor, and he bangs his head on the corner of his bedframe, but Thomas couldn't care less.

He's finally back with his girl.

......

It was different with Dimi. Whereas he and Sixpack had this special connection, there was something blocking them off from Dimi. Thomas could never catch him in the same room. Like a ghost in the corner of his eye. He was always on the periphery- or maybe it was Thomas who was.

At least, he and Sixpack were together again. Sometimes she would wander into his room at night and curl up in the bed next to him.

God, he had missed those walks. Sixpack had too. They go grocery shopping together and try unsuccessfully to make new recipes. Mostly they just saw each other.

[hearthandhallows]

‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Felix took the portfolio carefully and opened it on the counter like it was something sacred. “Oh, no, I meant it, I can assure you.” He said quickly, already thumbing through the first few pages. His eyes flicked up briefly, smiling, before moving back to the photos. The Witch lingered on a few pieces, clearly engaged. “I don’t have it with me, but I can show you the next time we hang out. Well, I suppose I do have my pocket sketchbook, but I’d rather show you something I’m proud of.” He laughed, then continued, “You have such an eye for composition; these are lovely, really. Oh, and no judgment on the unpacking. I lived out of boxes for months before.” And it wasn’t like the current state of his apartment was much better. Depression really affected the apartment. His face scrunched up at the thought, but he tried to shift his expression before Dimi noticed.

‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ But the way Dimi talked about Ozma and her mom… that ache in Felix’s chest didn’t go unnoticed. His eyes softened again. “She’s lucky to have you.” He gave the other’s hand a light squeeze, thumb brushing once along his knuckles. “That steady, everyday-showing-up kind of love is real magic.” His gaze drifted toward the cats again. “Uncle Enzo sounds really kind, too. She’s lucky to have you both.” 

‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Felix’s smile faltered when Dimi mentioned Felix’s situation, however brief, and he quickly tried to remedy his expression, humming out a noise in agreement, then latching on to the comment about the cats. “Everything does seem more simple. Just naps and chasing invisible monsters at 3 a.m.” Well, except for the invisible monsters that aren’t invisible and actually look just like you and turn into some sort of woman who laughs at you. Yep. 

‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ He gestured to the pan, “Let’s get this one on a plate; I’ll help with the next.” Felix followed a similar process as Dimi; after all, there were only so many ways to grill a cheese sandwich. Once he was done, he stared at Oscar, deadpanned, as the cat had hopped onto the counter and was an inch away from the plate, almost daring Felix to swat him away. “This is not polite behavior; you are being a bad role model to Alex.” In response, the cat meowed, eyes not moving away from the food.

"Let me find it," Dimi said when Felix said he was interested in seeing his portfolio. It wasn't something that people generally asked to see, and he admitted, "I've been here a few months, but truth be told, I haven't unpacked completely yet. I know, I know, there's no excuse." There were still boxes in his bedroom that Dimi needed to go through and some more in the garage; he was pretty sure the portfolio was in the former. "Be right back," Dimi told Felix, adding, "You're in charge of Alex. Don't let him do anything Oscar wouldn't do." He hurried into his bedroom, opening the first box and searching for the portfolio.

A few minutes later, Dimi returned with the portfolio in hand, smiling and exclaiming, "Success!" He handed Felix the portfolio before returning to sit next to Felix on the sofa. "No pressure if you were just being nice though," Dimi assured Felix, though he hadn't gotten that impression from them; it had seemed like they were genuinely interested in the portfolio. "You must have one too, right?" Dimi asked Felix. "I bet that's cool." He didn't want Felix to feel pressured to show him, but Dimi was definitely interested.

As he'd expected, Felix could empathize with him, and Dimi smiled when the other touched his arm; he reached over and patted Felix's hand, resting it there gently. "Thanks, Felix," Dimi said, giving them a sad little smile. "I feel worse for Ozma than myself, but I also...feel guilty. Like did I cause her to leave? Am I the reason she left Ozma behind?" Dimi could get past the fact that Ozma's mother had left him, but she'd left their daughter too, and that just wasn't okay; it was unforgivable in his opinion. His hand still on Felix's, Dimi squeezed it gently, glad he'd shared this with his new friend. "But I'm going to make sure Ozma has all the love she can handle from just me," Dimi said, determined. "Well she's got Uncle Enzo too. That's been another good thing about being here." Although he didn't know Felix's situation, Dimi said, "I'm sorry for what you went through too. But hey, you've got your cats, and animals are better than most people anyway, right?" He grinned at Felix as he said this, but it was still a little sad.

Laughing, Dimi said, "This is like planning a play date only with our cats. I love that. But they've definitely become fast friends." As he said this, Dimi looked at the cats playing, smiling. "Everything seems simpler as a cat, doesn't it?" he asked.

"he's not an official f/o" I say and then I write a small fic for him which I haven't done for most of my f/os

[muffinsin]

i just read this post

https://www.tumblr.com/muffinsin/739024633405308928/anon-here-my-fav-is-bela-though-i-totally-get

about gp! dimi sisters giving reader just the tip and i loved it!!! so if it’s okay and if not already done, could you do one for donna if you write gp for her?

i love all your stuff btw!

Absolutely, hon!🙇‍♀️ Some more Donna in our lives never hurts XP! Other parts here

Let’s get into it!🙌

Masterlists

With a flushed face and a racing heart you look up at her, finding her dark eye at last. She’s hovering just mere inches above you, her breasts pushing down against you, her eye set on you, her thighs brushing against you and her cock- no, only her tip- pushed into you.

You squirm, helpless to do anything else due to the ribbons tying your wrists together. Already, you regret your actions, wishing you had been good instead. Now, you pay the price, all your pleads and whimpers falling onto deaf ears. You want- no, need her. Need all of her.

Alas, your punishment for today is obvious, clear as day to you, and so bittersweet.

You whine, your eyes wide. “Please, my love”, you plead.

“Please, just a little more, my love! I’ll be good now! Just…just a little more, a little…a little more!”, you whine, squirming to try and get her deeper inside. Stopping this abruptly, you gasp when she grabs your hips, her grip strong, her strong, skilled fingers pressing into your flesh.

“Now, Tesoro, I thought you said you’d be good this morning already…”, she coos, her voice low and seductive, enough to make your head spin.

Using her free hand she reaches down, and you can only whine as she begins to jerk herself off, thrusting her hand and occasionally sliding her fingers across her balls. And still, it’s only her tip that she grants you.

Feeling utterly edged and sensitive, you cry and squirm, little pleas slipping from your lips like water from a waterfall.

“Please, my love!”

“I’m sorry, Fiore!”

“Please, just a little bit! Just halfway in, my love!”

“I’ve learned my lesson!”, you insist, flushing when she laughs lowly and merely jerks herself off a little faster.

“Oh…tesoro, mi fai divertire”

You begin to feel more and more flustered, your body held down and in place, your arms restrained, her tip just barely inside of you. Still, you feel precum drool from her, feel how warm and wet she is. You drool, thinking of how she could just push herself inside fully at any time.

Alas, she isn’t, she doesn’t, and she won’t. Not until she feels you have learned your lesson. And you know, Donna is unfortunately, at least in this instance, very, very patient.

You gasp when she leans down, her tongue trailing along your neck, her hair tickling your skin gently.

“I have told you what would happen when you don’t behave, Tesoro”, she whispers, scolding playfully. Yes, she has. Punishment- but she never clarified it would be this, this..this agony! You can only squirm and try to roll your hips to no avail. You’re sure, you could cum instantly if she just pushed herself inside already!

“This isn’t…fair!”, you whine, feeling so terribly needy. Before this, you thought edging was the worst thing she could do, or denying you an orgasm all together. This is worse: this way, you don’t even feel her inside properly, can barely feel her head push and pulse inside of you, drooling precum inside.

She chuckles, the sound low and breathless, a sign she’s getting closer to an orgasm, too.

“Would you like me to pull out entirely, love?”, she asks, then, her voice a little lighter. Oh, she’s teasing you, and you’re helpless in the face of her dominance. You quickly shake your head, begging her not to. You don’t know why, but you just can’t bear to lose the tip, too, you desperately need more of her.

“Please…my love…I need it…!”, you plead instead, trying a different approach.

You gasp when her hand trails up to your neck, then, whereas the other works faster between her own legs, pulling moans and grunts from her.

“Then tell me how bad you need it, my doll”, she coos, arousal pooling in her dark eye.

Oh, and you do.

You moan, you plead, you whine and whimper all about just how bad you want it, how bad you need it.

You squirm and cry out for her, spread your legs, so utterly eager to accept more of her inside. But Donna, teasing as she is, merely continues jerking herself off for a painful while longer.

A little more, a little more.

More moans and grunts come from her that have your body heat up and tingle in anticipation.

You want it.

You need it.

And then,

you get it.

When she pushes herself inside, only to cum, it’s almost beautifully overwhelming. You moan and shriek, crying out for her, rolling your hips, eager to receive all of her. She fills you perfectly, paints your insides white and slick.

And then, just before you get your pleasure, you feel her pull out to the tip again.

“Beg again, little one”

[randomnameless]

I ultimately think the biggest letdown is how the narration, as you put it, undermines everything we hear, see or play as - remember Flamey?

Spoiler-ish thoughts under the cut about Kingdom -

Even if the setting is basically Warring States and the hero's friend who wants to put an end to constant warfare, we see generals and soldiers painted in a rather good light, war is cruel and violent, but it's more or less understood that it's because of the "era" and if you are a soldier on a battlefield, you are expected to kill, but also, to be killed.

So the hero basically goes to one of his first bouts, and then meets people who are oddly pissed at him but oddly motivated and driven to kill him and the people of his country for some reason he doesn't understand...

Until he learns, a bit later, how soldiers of his country put to death around 80k randoms from another country (ird if they were soldiers retreating or civilians?), and the family of those randoms are the soldiers who are dead set on taking revenge on everyone belonging to the hero's country, as a form or revenge and because, hell, actions have long lasting consequences.

Even if the hero points out that this event happened way before he became a soldier or was born, it doesn't matter, he's a soldier of country X thus will face resentment for everything country X did.

Fast forward way, way, way, way, way later...

And one of the hero's generals, K, pulls a similar stunt, aka putting to death 100k enemy soldiers who dropped their weapons and were told they could return home.

The King immediatly sets out to punish him, and ultimately, K's nonsense backfires on the hero's party - the people he has to fight become more and more unhinged to the point of civilians themselves using poison and dooming their lands for the next generations if it means getting rid of the hero and his soldiers and I'm pretty sure this is going to be mentionned again and again in the future chapters.

(idk if the manga is going to follow RL history, but we know irl how it ended !)

I'm sure I'm beating a zombified horse here, but Fodlan (FE16) completely eludes Flamey's machinations and allies. Jerry supposedly investigates on missing people in Adrestia - or whatever happened in Remire - and he is Kronya'd before being able to spell 1+1 to the player.

The issue of missing students/people/whoever is turned in War Assets? No one gives a fuck. We're far from Fates where Corn visited houses and instead of being given a trinket by green units, they instead meet red units instead because, hey, those people living in those villages hate their guts.

The closest thing to "maybe this character should be held accountable for what his country is doing" is Caspar wondering if Dimitri hates his guts in AM, but then everything is resolved because Dee eats an egg sandwich so all that resentment magically disappears and I guess the Savior King will tell NPC 56 and NPC 27 who are wondering where the hell their friend NPC 35 went after being sent to Lord Arundel's "scientific lab".

Seteth, knowing well his sister (?) is in the hands of the people who dismembered their family after being caught by Supreme Leader, praises soldiers for having faith in their leader and her Supreme abilities to inspire soldiers.

So by both dissolving their previous writing in a pot of tea (Flamey who? Baldo? Waldi? Who are they? Who gives a fuck?) and ultimately Kusakihara's special blend of victim blaming, with the uno twist that it's suddenly the victim themselves who praise, or learn not to have any resentment or hatred against their aggressor, we end with the state of discourse we all know and love, and the fact that to this day, we still have people - even at IS ! - forgetting, or refusing to consider Supreme Leader as anything but a Lord or a hero, just like Dimi, Fraud or the past FE lords.

I actually don’t think Edelgard’s writing as a villain works all that well.

The game leans on her backstory to paint her as this tragic anti-villain, someone who had horrible things done to her but in the end wants to make the world a better place and is misguided on what that actually means. But that’s simply her backstory, the explanation for what she does.

In practice, she is a massive hypocrite. Says she wants to make sure no one else goes through what she did, but aids TWSITD in experiments that strip away people’s humanity by turning them into monsters. She’s talks a good game about no one being sacrificed because of that, but is fully willing to eliminate everyone who doesn’t bend the knee or kiss the ring. As such, her talk of freedom is undermined by her knowledge that Hubert kills everyone who is viewed as a threat to her rule and the fact he does this even to people she says to spare. Uses information campaigns and information control for her own benefit, slandering her enemies and having them framed for actions they didn’t commit, but talks about how she will rid Fodlan of it’s lies. For all her spiel against Sothis and the Church, she takes over the religion to spread her own ideals. Has no problem with people supporting her, but believes others need to rely on their own strength and fend for themselves unless her helping them benefits her in some way. As such, she’s shown to be a liar who deceives others for the sake of her goal even in the route where she tells the player that their support saved her.

All of the above is from fucking Flower.

She undermines everything she says she’s about, everything that was supposed to make her an anti-villain. Once you take the anti out of the anti-villain you are simply left with a villain character, and I think that applies especially to how Edelgard was intended to be portrayed. She’s trying to manipulate the player and lead them astray, even to the point of editing her retelling of her own backstory. She’s determined to see her path through no matter the cost, but at the same time is spelled out in both Azure Moon and Scarlet Blaze that she deliberately ignores what she doesn’t want to see. She refusal to deviate from her path isn’t some noble trait, it’s her being wilfully ignorant and stubborn to the point she would rather die than admit she was wrong. And with the full view of her hypocrisies, all her actions really amount to is her, unlike her father, successfully centralizing power on herself. In essence, it all comes down to the “freedom” she fought for was actually her own to impose her will upon Fodlan. It’s why she keeps talking about how Nabateans shouldn’t be the ones to “stand above humanity” in the Japanese text, as she wants to be the one who stands at the apex of the world.

And yet, the game still wants players to feel sorry for her and see her as the tragic anti-villain her backstory paints her as. Meanwhile the writing’s inability to directly challenge her gives the appearance that the game is trying to have moral greyness, yet player’s are also meant to piece together that she is wrong. I understand “show, don’t tell” but Houses is really big on telling players. Hell, it’s only revealed that Edelgard still uses humans turned into demonic beasts in Flower through a single comment that can be avoided if the player doesn’t recruit Hanneman.

We’re left with the game trying to tell us that Edelgard isn’t some cartoon villain, but it also undermines that same message with what she is said to do. And that’s before the localization tried it’s hand at making her route more heroic. Sure, you can say that the game wants us to forgive her in a Buddhist sense, to let go of our hatred towards her but not pardoning her misdeeds and stopping her from causing suffering, as even if we were to attempt to pardon her Edelgard would keep fighting, but coupling that with the refusal to actually engage in the reality of her actions undermines those actions as a result. The actions that undermine the idea she is an anti-villain are in turn undermined by the game’s narrative.

See what I mean with how this doesn’t work?

Dimitrescu Sisters Going Through A Haunted House

𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: Nothing tbh

𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: -

𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: Might be ooc, I'm still sick so I'm sorry if it's like low effort, I just rlly wanted to write...

Bela Dimitrescu

- This woman...hell idek where to start

- She'd flinch, definitely

- LISTEN. I feel like she'd hiss when she genuinely got spooked, idek why

- "GOODNESS !" - Bela Dimitrescu 2025

- THIS GIRL IS ON GUARD 24/7 DURING THE WHOLE THING

- "I don't think Bela would be that scared" WRONG. THAT'S MY WIFE WE'RE TALKING ABT AND SHE'S DEF A SCREAMER SOMETIMES WHEN SHE GETS SPOOKED BAAADDD

- Silly thing I thought abt but sometimes she'd def let out a yelp before hiding behind one of her sisters

- Would accidentally hit you

Cassandra Dimitrescu

- Oh this is hard..but I'm harder...but it's still hard.

- Cassandra? Getting spooked? HAH. No.

- Unless you're just a rlly good scare actor

- "Hah! You call that spooking someone!? That's child's play!"

- Oh you're a great scare actor? Be prepared for your ears to bleed if she actually screams her lungs out before threatening you

- Would walk through that haunted house like she owns the place

- Catching her flinching is RAREEEE

- Yawns.

- Most high pitched "you scream like a girl!" Scream ever. Fight me on this.

- Would purposely hit you (in the face)

- TO ANSWER UR QUESTION. U CAN DEF STILL WIN HER AFFECTION

- The type to hide behind her sisters while whining (or even sobbing)

- "UGH WHY DID I SIGN UP FOR THIS!!!"

- The type to scream, run and use her sisters as a shield before whimpering with fear (This is rich coming from a blood thirsty killer)

- Maybe, just maybe. If u managed to catch her attention, she'd purposely walk around the haunted house without a care in the world in hopes for u to jump out and scare her <3

- Trust me on this, by the time they're all out? Just know that she'd be in TEARS.

- I feel like Dani is the easiest to spook so yea

- "Where's that scare actor?" - Daniela Dimitrescu 2025

- "THIS IS TOO SCARY" "How are you scared of a haunted house..."

- 100% a screamer and a crier

- Clings to one of her sisters and REFUSES to let go "Dani they're just scare actors!" "What if they kill me!?"

- Oh you caught her eye? She'd probably throw lil flirts here and there for funsies, just to throw u off guard

- "Oh no! Please don't cuff me up and torture me, dear hot scare actor!" "WHAT THE FUCK."

- Funny thing I just thought abt, would accidentally turn into a swarm of flies when she gets hella spooked (Gets embarrassed in the end)

[18Trip Seasonal Event Story Translation] The Silver-Winged Paladin - Track 1

tl: dimi proofreading: aca, niri, aera, jelly

📍Downtown HAMA

Tao: Alright. I managed to buy everything I wanted.

Tao: It’s still early, so I might as well make a little detour before going back home.

High School Girl A: Oh, Emiko’s going to be a little late! Look, she sent “500731-0906” on the pager.

High School Girl B: … I know that “0906” means “I’ll be late”, but what does “500731” mean?

High School Girl A: Are you being for real? It’s “I’m sorry”! We’ll be using it a lot, so you’d better remember it~

Tao: … This is something I see pretty often here but… Heisei culture sure is popular here…

Tao: I mean, figures it’d be a novelty when the norm is 7G signal and 10K resolution.

Tao: If someone sold things that were popular back then now, they’d probably become popular again. I bet you could make a fortune like that–

[DUN!]

Street billboard: “It’s the return of a legend!!”

Tao: Hm?

Street billboard: “This renowned masterpiece is back decades after the original release/series' creation, now more powerful than ever!”

Street Billboard: “With nostalgic characters and dungeons brought back to life in vivid colors on a high-spec console! Its title is…”

Tao: Th…

Tao: THIS IS…!!

📍 HAMA House – Living room

Kafka: … So, if you keep these in mind while writing, your proposal will get even better.

Renga: I see…!

Renga: You make it so easy to understand! Alright, I have to fix this next…

[Door opens]

Tao: I’m home~

Kafka: Oh, Tao, welcome h… Uh–

Renga: That big box… Is that the latest gaming console, “EnStationX”?

Renga: If I remember correctly, one costs as much as renting two designer jackets… No, maybe three…!

Kafka: It costs about 100,000 yen. … High-end consoles these days sure aren’t aimed at children, are they?

Tao: Yes. When I found out that such a nostalgic game was being remade, I just had to have it…

Renga: S-Seriously…? You’re surprisingly rich…

Tao: No, no. This is actually a pretty unreasonable purchase. My only income is what I make here…

Kafka: The way you sound like you’re unsatisfied with your pay makes me a little concerned, but since you’re saying it’s nostalgic, are you talking about “FB”?

Tao: Oh, so the “Final Brave” series is as popular as I thought!

Tao: I was obsessed with “VI”, so when I heard it had been remade into a full-dive MMO, I just couldn’t help myself!

Renga: You were obsessed with VI… But this series has released up to XXXII now, hasn’t it?

Renga: So you’re also into old games, Tao?

Tao: Y-Yeah… Pretty much!

Renga: But this game seems to be trending lately. It’s got lots of players, too.

Kafka: Right. I heard they’ve been using lots of experimental technology, so I’ve been curious about it too.

Tao: Oh! Then why don’t we all play together–

Tao: … Or, that’s what I was thinking, but everyone would have to buy the console first. Making someone pay 100,000 yen for something isn’t a good look…

Renga: … Actually, I have the console, too.

Tao: Really!?

Renga: I’m gonna be the ambassador for another game by the same company as FB for my next job.

Renga: They gave me the console as reference material, but because they wanted me to play with someone else, they gave me four of them…!

Tao: Four of them!?

Kafka: I see. So that’s how you knew the price.

Kafka: Don’t mind if I borrow one, then.

Tao: Uhh, I wish I knew about that sooner… Well, I’ll probably end up buying more games, so it’s alright.

Tao: But since you have four, we can ask two more to join.

Kafka: Since it’s an MMO, the more people, the merrier. Who else here seems like they’ve got lots of free time…

[Shuffling]

Yodaka: Hmmm… It’s been a long time since I last had to wash a stain so stubborn.

Yodaka: Well, today just so happens to be my day off. I’ll stay with you all day long if that’s what will get you to stop clinging to this glass.

[Piano music]

Toi: Ughhhh, the plan was to go on a date with Yuito-kun for the next holiday, but Kazuki-kun asked me out instead…!

Toi: I like Yuito-kun the most, but he doesn’t return my feelings at all. At this rate I’ll end up falling for Kazuki-kun instead~!

Renga: … There’s two people who might be up for it.

Tao: Right. I’ll go ask them!

[diaphin93]

I'd love to read you breaking down Dimi/Rhealeth :)

Oh thats interesting, I'd love to do that. I will predominantly use she/her pronouns for Byleth just for ease, though I acknowledge that Rhealeth is a bi-ship for both Byleths.

Starting with Dimileth, its plain and simple, as a feminist and lesbian I just dislike the overall ship-dynamic of it, but I get the broader appeal of it. I mean, its basically a sizable portion of the contemporary published het-romance genre in a nutshell, you have a dangerous and unstable psychologically haunted men who hides a sweeter core and pair him with a kind and loving women who through self-sacrifice, selfless nuturing and tenderness fixes him and cures him of his ills. Its a super basic het dynamic and I personally really dislike it because of the very heteronormative, gendered patriachal dynamics involved in it, especially since the ship ingame strongly contextualizes Byleth as tender and fragile, in opposition to her characterization as a famed mercenary and powerful warrior.

I would argue that the ship is probably more favorable with Byleth as the PoV and Self-Insert character than the other way around, where it kind of can have incel-esque vibes and plays into issues of male entitlement towards a nuturing woman who acts as both a caretaker and a lover to a man. From a queer feminist standpoint, I dislike it either way, but there are individual pieces of fanart I can enjoy more than others, when they lean more into a physically strong and trained Byleth who appears as more of Dimitris equal. I guess I personally also get more behind it with Dimitris Post-Timeskip design in mind, which is one of the few male designs I find genuinly appealing, than with Pre-Timeskip Dimitri who is super bland in terms of personality and design for the most part. When I want to mock it, I call it 50 Shades of Fire Emblem, but I think there is not much more that needs to be said about the ship and my feelings on it.

I'm actually more fond of it when it involves Male Byleth being paired with Dimitri. I'm usually really not invested into m/m ships, being a near exclusive w/w shipper myself, but I think its a good example of how even with genderblind writing, a narrative can't really escape strong contextual and subtextual differences due to changing gendered dynamics, explicitely in a game like 3 Houses, that has at least implicitely alot to say about gender. There is also the difference between vibes in F!Byleth and M!Byleth, M!Byleth coming off as much more serious and reserved in comparison. I think this really helps to recontextualize the scenes between M!Byleth and Dimitri and the potential ship dynamic, there being more of an element of tenderness and nuture that M!Byleth displays despite his more reserved vibes which I prefer, similar to me liking the dynamic between F!Byleth and Edelgard much more, because I think this social Awkwardness and kinda autistic vibes f!Byleth has match well with Edelgards openness and interest in her. For a while I was more in the camp of wishing Claude was also bisexual and viewing Dimitri from a more unfavorable cishet perspective, but I think nowadays, if I could only one of those two romancable by both Byleths, I would go for Dimitri, especially since I think that with the culture of Faerghus in mind, there are some interesting headcanons for queer Dimitri. I recently saw an interpretation of Dimitri as transmasc in the Edelgard server lol and that was one that really captivated me, so Transmasc Dimitri x M!Byleth would be a ship I really would find interesting and I kinda grew on the idea of both Byleths being present and f!Byleth going with Edelgard and m!Byleth going with Dimitri, lol.

When it comes to Rhealeth, I think I have less to say about those two. I really personally don't feel it and I think the ship is just too inheritly problematic for me to enjoy. It is another ship that is canonically Bi, but I personally really dislike both variants of it. I think with the entire context in mind, there is a very uncomfortable vibe between Byleth and Rhea in their supports and it reads strongly as grooming and lovebombing, especially since Rhea doesn't seem exactly interested in Byleth as a person, but more in them in relation to being the child of people she was close to and her being the vessel of Sothis. The former already makes she ship kinda yikes, because there is a clear incestious element in it all that goes far beyond even Fates Step-Sibling kink. For all intents and purposes, Rhea is Byleths grandmother. She created Sitri, raised her and openly expresses that she viewed her as a daughter, while also being close to Jeralt since he was a young man or outright boy. Her ending up marrying their child, who she helped to deliver, is really messed up on a level where its just plain problematic and I don'T see much room in looking past it or viewing this as something romantic.

Then there is the fact that Rheas behavior if you chose Crimson Flower puts into question how sincere she is during all of their supports. Edelgard and Byleth also can end up in opposing sides of the war and fight each other, thats sure, but Edelgard still never expresses outright hatred or malice towards Byleth, she always treats her with respect and adoration, them fighting because they chose different sides in a war. With Rhea its very different, its an immediate snap into outright malice and dehumanization in a way that is very ugly and uncomfortable. At best thats outright toxic and unstable BPD behavior, to immediately dehumanize and devalue every aspect of a person because you feel rejected. I saw people here actually encourage and support this kind of behavior, which is a massive red flag on those people for me. At worst, its basically just Rhea spending the first part of the game purely lovebombing her and when Byleth doesn't conform, she expresses immediate malice.

I think it can be interesting potentially, but not in this romanticized way people on this website would probably advocate for it. Rhea has strong groomer and cultleader vibes, her behavior towards Byleth is a good example of grooming and the same can be extented to everyone else she is in close contact with, who isn't an actual Nabathean. People get enarmored alot with her motherly, benevolent persona, but I always felt like it comes off as more uncomfortable, very superficial, very thin. And in the end, with her behavior in CF also taken into mind because as much as ArchFireemblem and his Tradcath gang want to deny it, its also part of Rheas canonical characterization, She comes off as an unstable womanchild who does play at the motherly figure, emulating t his flat and infantile idealized and flawed vision of Sothis she has constructed in her head, which just does not exist.

In this vein, I think Rhealeth can be interesting in the way Makima/Denji from Chainsaw Man is fascinating and one of the most captivating and gutwrenching toxic relationships in contemporary media, as an analysis of a toxic and abusive relationship in which a powerful and mentally juvenile older woman grooms and manipulaties a socially isolated and impressionable younger woman she has a high level of power over into fulfilling her needs and constructing them into an idealized vision of an entirely different person.

So yeah, thats it. I think ultimately I'm really much more favorable and positive about Dimileth, even Het!Dimileth, than I'm to either version of Rhealeth. With Dimileth, I get the appeal and I can see how it is just a very popular and common fantasy which I personally dislike. With Rhealeth on the other hand, I just really can't see it in any other way but a very abusive and toxic instance of grooming and so far I personally found the kinds of people to whom that ship would appeal so far to be more than uncomfortable, which isn't necessarily my experience with Dimileth.

And hey, on the offchance that somebody reads this and gets Trans!Dimitri as a headcanon out of it, no matter with what kind of ship, just hit me up, I'm happy to read it.

FE3H Characters and What Albums I Think They Would Like :P

______________________________________________________________

Dimitri: I fear Dimitri would be a Beatles enjoyer with a soft spot for The White Album. Not in an annoying way though. He likes it because his dad played it for him as a kid. Imagine little teensy Dimi going crazy for Helter Skelter. Our sweet sweet white boy <3

______________________________________________________________

Edelgard: Edelgard is almost certainly bumping Live Through This by Hole. She for sure feels an affinity for Courtney Love. My two problematic queens! <3 Sorry that Olympia was actually written about Garreg Mach and the crest system

______________________________________________________________

Claude: I have a gut feeling he gets down to the sweet sweet stylings of Masayoshi Takanaka, especially SEYCHELLES. I can see him plotting strategies and outcomes while some totally unserious tunes play in the background. Tbh need to see a rockstar Claude AU where he tears it up on the bass. Someone, please write that. 

______________________________________________________________

Deudue: I think he would like something peaceful to enjoy while taking care of the plants and cooking so maybe some Bossa Nova? I think he would opt for Mestres Da Mpb by Joao Gilberto. A gentle album for a gentle man. Love you Deudue!  

______________________________________________________________

Sylvain: His ass would tell girls that he likes Ultraviolence by Lana Del Ray but in reality, his favorite album is My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West or something by Keshi. I know so many boys like him and I hate them. 

______________________________________________________________

Felix: Now I feel like sweet Felix would actually like Lana… He’s so emo. He would secretly love Born to Die - Paradise Edition and Ultraviolence. Bro is listening to Black Beauty and Million Dollar Man like his life depends on it. He’d be polishing his sword and love feeling so dark and mysterious. 

______________________________________________________________

Ingrid: I’m sorry but she gives such swiftie vibes. I feel like she would like Fokelore or Evermore and their more folksy tones. Girl would buy eras tour tickets even though she’s broke. 

______________________________________________________________

Ashe: I feel like Ashe would like something really innocent but kind of dumb. Because of that I’m gonna say he likes AJR or something along those lines. I don’t know what any of their albums are called…

______________________________________________________________

Mercedes: Mercie is just too chill. I feel like she’d like something sweet but not too intense. I think she would enjoy Belle & Sebastian’s If You’re Feeling Sinister. It just feels right. 

______________________________________________________________

Annette: Annette, like Mercie, is so sweet, but lacking the chill. So I’m saying she’s getting down to Short n’ Sweet by Sabrina. I can see her getting super into espresso and doing little dances as she listens. So adorable. 

______________________________________________________________

Hubert: I genuinely don’t think he would listen to music.

______________________________________________________________

Ferdinand: I think he would really like Olivia Rodrigo, but he wouldn’t be vocal about it. It’s his own little secret that he loves that little Mexican girl that be crying. I can see him listening to Sour and getting really into it. I have no idea why, this is just based off vibes. 

______________________________________________________________

Lindhart: I know Lindy has Soft Sounds From Another Planet by Japanese Breakfast on repeat in his dorm while he researches. It's quiet enough that he can focus but he can still nod along and get into the beat.

______________________________________________________________

Dorothea: Chappell Roan. The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. What else is there to be said. The vocals, the brand, the queerness. Imagine Dorothea performing Super Ultra Graphic Modern Girl at karaoke night. Utter perfection. 

______________________________________________________________

Bernadetta: I feel like she would be really into Hatsune Miku, but I don’t know enough about Miku to say what album specifically. (Is that how Vocaloid even works?)

______________________________________________________________

Caspar: Caspar is listening to some whack suburban whiteboy nonsense like Imagine Dragons. I’m not going to say anything else. 

______________________________________________________________

Petra: I think Petra would be a connoisseur of 90s rap, partial to 2Pac. She doesn’t know exactly what he’s saying, but the general vibe speaks to her. Her favorite album would be his 1998 Greatest Hits compilation.  

______________________________________________________________

Hilda: RIP Hilda you would have loved BRAT by Charli XCX. I just KNOW that girl is bumping that. She’s absolutely in the club dancing and getting down to the club classics. Take me with you girl! 

______________________________________________________________

Lysithea: I fear she’s in her angsty teen phase. I don’t want to say it… but it must be said. She is enjoying A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out as well as Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die! by Panic! At The Disco. (Unfortunately..) 

______________________________________________________________

Marianne: I feel like she’d mess with Ichiko Aoba’s Windswept Adan. It’s soft and mysterious. I think she also appreciates the soundscape it creates, taking her away from reality for a short period of time.   

______________________________________________________________

Raphael: Raph is getting HYPE. I suspect he’s listening to anything by Megan Thee Stallion. He is the hot girl and he knows it. Tina Snow is his twin. 

______________________________________________________________

Lorenz: Sucks. Sucks. Sucks. Bro likes Chet Baker’s Chet Baker Sings because “it’s timeless”. Don’t bring Chet into this you purple penis. 

______________________________________________________________

Leonie: I feel like she would be one of those really intense Tyler the Creator fans who make everyone lowkey uncomfy. I just know she’s going crazy over Chromakopia right now, and no one is exactly sure how to deal with it. 

______________________________________________________________

Ignatz: RIP ignatz you would have loved Ricky Montgomery. I can imagine Ignatz painting while listening to Line Without a Hook from Montgomery Ricky wayyyyyy after 2020 and not realizing the cringe. He’s pure and true and I love that for him.

you can send me a request or an ask every time i'm totally not chronically online

so that's basically it

[willalove75]

I’m not requesting anything I just want to say I absolutely love your writing and how you write the personality of everyone especially the daughters and Donna even if she is just a side character at times, the way you write them have my heart literally been following for almost 2 years now on ao3 i think❤️🥲

AWWW STOPPPPP MY HEART IS GONNA EXPLODEEEEE😭😭😭💕💕💕

Thank you SO much!!! I love being able to explore each daughters personality - and Donna's too! Donna is fun to write because even though she's quiet and not nearly as chaotic as the Dimi sisters, she still has her own quirks and little things that make her so unique and it's so much fun to do!

And thank you so much for following my fic since basically the beginning! This summer will be two years since I started it (which is WILD) and I'm so excited to continue it!

[muffinsin]

can you please write HCs of the girls when their lover hides behind them? not like, fully? but like.

eg. its still fairly early in the relationship, s/o and dimi gf just made themselves exclusive- they’re in a scenario where fem s/o is on edge, so they step closer/behind their dimi gf, or hold on to their bicep because s/o trusts her with their safety. how would the girls react to this big show of trust?

This is such an adorable prompt! I’m glad I’m finally getting to it :)

Masterlists

Bela

Your life at the castle is good, for the most part, certainly

Being this close to your girlfriend is beautiful, something you wouldn’t trade for the world

You love Bela above all else

Even your work can be quite enjoyable

Freed from the worry that comes with the constant threat of being sent to the infamous Dimitrescu cellar at any small mistake, you find your work relaxing, even

Early on, Bela pulled strings to have you assigned as hers. Her personal maid, so to speak, in charge of all tasks for and from her

She allows you much freedom, only ever tasks you with bringing her food and preparing her baths. At times, you are to dress her, too

All of this is not work, but pampering to you

And you do so love to pamper her

Your work and Bela’s independence leaves you with a lot of spare time, by far more so than one that any other maid gets

This, of course, is not happily seen, and while most maidens know to stay away from you, others are outright cruel

Despite your lovely work and the beautiful home you share with your girlfriend and her family, you feel almost lonely, with rarely a maid to talk to

And then, there is another group of maidens

They’re bolder, meaner

Know you likely won’t go to Bela with your problems, too embarrassed to be an outsider among the staff

You’ve come to fear them, almost, and their harsh words and mean pushes that nearly have you lose your balance

You try to avoid them, always

One day, you can’t

Again, their words sting. Their accusations, their jealousy

They insist, you slept your way to your job

They insist, Bela doesn’t even love you

You want nothing more than the blonde now, to hide behind her and hide from the situation entirely

You aren’t sure whether it’s because of your quickened heartbeat, but you quickly hear the sound of buzzing becoming louder and louder

Something they don’t seem entirely aware of, their laughter too loud

And still, Bela is with you in an instant, materialising in front of you

Instinctively, you move closer to her, tucked behind her with only your side poking out and your eyes finding the wide ones of the now quiet maidens in front of you

Bela shivers as she feels you move behind her, your heartbeat fast, slowly calming

Her eyes, usually quite bored and uninterested, now hold a glare and anger to them as she scans the women in front of her

Never has she felt this possessiveness

The women try to avoid her eyes, looking as suspicious and worried as her younger sisters after Bela’s caught them misbehaving

You look down as you feel something, then find her hand as she reaches down to her sickle

Pleadingly, almost, your hand shoots out to cover hers

You don’t want her to kill them all, only want them to stop

And Bela? She seems to understand

She doesn’t move from the spot as she demands to know what happened, her eyes piercing them

Her body is perfectly shielding you, her hand unmoving from yours

Despite her only mildly raised voice and her still position, Bela is incredibly intimidating to the women, you realise

They tremble and shake, trying to please her and explain, while also weaselling their way out of the situation

Eventually, they begin to turn on one another

Bela clicks her tongue, demanding their attention again

No blood is spilled that day per your request and you’re brought back to her room

She kisses you gently, her eyes so impossibly soft as they’re set on you

You almost can’t imagine how they held hatred just minutes ago, aimed at those who dared make you uncomfortable

As she holds you, you know you are safe, and loved

You know she will always keep you safe, and will always shield you

She stays with you the remaining day, watches you work and has you rest in her office as she works

It’s almost like she doesn’t want others near you now, even going so far as to dismiss her sisters when they try to get her attention. You know, she will make it up to them and join them on their hunts soon enough

Today, is only for the two of you

The next day, you hear the four women have been transferred to other parts of the castle, far away from the ones you usually find yourself working in

The leader, the fourth women they all had turned on, was brought down to the basements

A present for Cassandra Dimitrescu

5

Cassandra

While not dating for very long yet, Cassandra has grown incredibly fond of you in only a short amount of time

And you?

You’re feeling the exact same way

While she easily inflicts fear and pain upon people, usually even so with a happy, wide smile on her face, you can’t bring yourself to fear her

While you haven’t dared say or display it yet, Cassandra has become your safe place

Her strong arms and frame are quickly the foundation of the home you have found in her heart

You feel calmer with her around you, feel happier when you hear her voice and low chuckles

Even when she feeds from you whenever you allow it, your skin feels on fire and while pain shoots through you, a large smile is set on your face

At times, it feels surreal that she’s yours, and that you are hers

You quickly become one of the most important people in her life

She feels immense happiness and comfort when in your presence, and with this though, comes possessiveness

Possessiveness, which she still tries to contain and hide away as much as she can

She just, doesn’t want to scare you away

This changes one day, though, when she fails to hold back entirely

The day is marked as “hunting day”, and, as everyone knows, Cassandra’s favorite day in the year

Making it somewhat a winter present for all three daughters, Alcina Dimitrescu hosts this event once every winter

A day in which up to fifty maidens and prisoners are released within the castle, their purpose only being prey to be hunted

Like every year, Cassandra is beyond excited

You’re helping her prepare in her room, tightly fastening her belt and the straps along her body, holding multiple knives and such in place for her hunt

She’s crackling in delight already, flexing her muscles for you

A scream and cries are heard in the castle. Some prey is already out, it seems

Suddenly, you feel yourself tense up

You can’t help but think…you don’t want her to go

You don’t want her to leave you here

What if one somehow finds you?

What if she is hurt?

What if something happens?

What if one finds a way to open the door to her room?

You know the plan, technically. To stay in her room, locked in until it’s safe…still, you can’t help the uneasy feeling

Cassandra’s about to head out when your hand suddenly shoots out

You’re squeezing her bicep before you know it, a quiet whimper passing her lips that she unfortunately hears

You see the worry in her eyes, as she sees the one in yours

“Don’t go”, you whisper

You can’t help but think how selfish you’re being. How tormented she feels locked inside all winter, how very excited she was

You feel her arms around you and suddenly notice the tears running down your cheeks

You can’t help it. You’re so scared, you don’t want to be locked away alone while so many potentially dangerous prisoners and such are out

You voice your worries as the silence stretches on, and again you find yourself squeezing her bicep and pushing yourself closer to her

Suddenly, her arms tighten around you more

You only feel and smell her, nothing else, it’s like not even your fear can reach you now

“I’ll never let anything hurt you”, she promises, her voice so low you could almost mistake it for a growl

You feel her possessiveness this time, for the first time, like a thick blanket keeping you safe

You try to protest when she moves you to the bed, content on staying with you, it seems

“What about the hunt?”, you whimper as you melt against her

She’s so..safe. You secretly don’t want her to go, and she seems to have no intention to do so

“I will have my share”, she simply promises

And she does

As she spends the night with you, content with keeping you safe and tucked to her, her hunt starts the following day

Protected by Daniela and Bela, you hear Cassandra’s laughter as she chases the many leftover prisoners

You smile a little. She’s all yours. And you’re all hers

Daniela

Within the castle, it’s not uncommon for Daniela to find herself someone she “loves”

Someone she will spend her time with, someone she will expect to shower her with love

Often, this is fake love, maidens hoping to stay alive, or worse yet; hoping to use her naivety against her to flee the castle or hurt the inhabitants

You’re different

Despite the little time you’ve really known her, you’re already very attached

Daniela makes you so happy, and you want nothing more than to make her happy in return

At last, you’re announcing it

You’re official, and while you’re over the moon, there is a factor that has you a little worried

Meeting her family, properly, as her girlfriend rather than a staff member

What will they think?

You trust they won’t hurt you

You’re Daniela’s, after all

And yet, as the day approaches, you feel more and more nervous

You stick up her side as you follow her, your hand clasped in her gloved one

A simple dinner, that’s all it should be, really

And Daniela assured you Alcina will like you, mildly surprised that someone stuck around this long and truly cares for her youngest daughter

You’re hoping her approval will make this easier, but the anxious feeling in your stomach doesn’t seem to agree

At dinner, you feel nearly all eyes on you

And still, as nerve wrecking as it is, no one is hostile towards you

Alcina seems intrigued, if a little suspicious

They all seem suspicious, as though they’re making sure no one hurts the precious youngest

You gulp whenever they squint lightly, as if analysing something

Bela, much like her mother, is quiet and kind, though her eyes hide the suspicion and protectiveness in them

Cassandra is less subtle

She’s asking questions here and there, making threats that she will personally drag skin from bone from you should you hurt her little sister

You can only nod shakily, thankful when Daniela steps in and has her back off

“Stop scaring her away!”

When Cassandra returns to her seat and turns to her food, you think that’s it

And in a way, it is

Until Cassandra steals from Bela, playful laughter all that comes from her when her sister demands she return her food

You don’t yet know the hierarchy between them, but sense whatever piece the brunette took must have been Bela’s favorite, or Bela’s by right

You watch Cassandra as she eats it slowly, as if tormenting and teasing her sister

You hear Alcina sigh, as if anticipating what happens next. Only you can’t prepare for it

Bela lunges, taking Cassandra with her to the ground

You gasp and flinch back, the pair entirely too close for comfort

Yells and laughter comes from the pile of black clothing, flies, and blonde and brunette hair

Their sickles swing wildly, almost catching you even as you stand

You whimper, shooting a look towards Daniela

She stands, her back turned to her sisters as though this was perfectly normal

Perhaps she’d even join in, if it wasn’t for you

Either way, another fling of the sickle that is entirely too close and smashes the vase next to you has you jump and move behind your girlfriend

Daniela feels your hand around her waist, your body held close behind her, shielding yourself

Asking for protection

Protection, which she easily provides

She feels stronger, possessive, protective

She doesn’t feel the urge to join her sisters as they fight, instead, when the sickle is raised again, she promptly stretches out her hand and grips it tightly

Cassandra shrieks when her sister pulls, effectively pulling her with the weapon away from her sister

She snarls as she’s yanked against the table

You notice, Daniela makes sure neither sister is close to you

“Stop acting like this!”, she demands

You can only view Bela and Cassandra’s expression as “that’s rich, coming from you”

Eventually though, Alcina does seem to get tired of the antics, having finished her glass just as she beckons the two sisters back to the table, now on either side of her

You smile a little at that, seeing how they nuzzle her side and both calm when a hand is set on their heads

Despite their fight, they don’t seem hostile anymore, as if it was perfectly normal for them and it was nothing more than playing

Still, you can’t unhook your arms from Daniela. You don’t want to let go of her just yet

And she doesn’t make you

To your surprise, no one bats you an eye when Daniela pulls you to the table and on top of her lap, her arm wrapped around you protectively
