Omg heyyy I just found your page and I NEED Dion relationship hcs

i miss my wife op. i miss him a lot. here's hcs for u

Dion Agriche relationship HCS author's note: i thought about poking him with a stick the whole time while making this

• imma be real with you dion's as dense as a rock when it comes to being flirted with, griselda herself said he didn't process shit whenever pandora tried to, she also said someone like him isn't suited to be in a relationship but we’ll ignore that for the bit–

• might go on a rant here but I feel like to be in a relationship w him you either have to be as freaky and damaged as him or just develop to be more dominant cause this man is someone who would rather follow you than lead you if you managed to tame his ass

• he doesn't get bitches. you could think that he's hot as hell but everything else about him cancels it out cause his personality scares nearly everyone who meets him, he's a pathetic little fuck and he’ll need someone as equally pathetic as him for his love life to be even a smidge stable

• PDA is not something he's into, maybe a hand on his or your waist but everything else is a no-no, in private tho he's content with a hand on his cheek or being curled up together in bed

• he doesn’t get enough sleep unless he's unconscious or on horse tranquilizers so instead of that he'll just watch you sleep, it gives him some inner peace and that counts as a kind of rest

• if you go on one of those rare trips of yours it'll be by the sea, you notice the sound of the waves puts him in a trance of some sort so the two of you will simply sit near the shore and quietly enjoy the environment

• you play with his hair sometimes, you'll jokingly tell him to grow it out further so you can braid it, and in response he'll give you the flattest look in existence

• he dissociates often so you make sure to touch him a lot to keep his head out of whatever fog he's experiencing

• when it comes to comforting you he's absolutely ass at it but he will at least make an effort--he won't say anything but he'll sit next to you and stare at you until you tell him what's wrong and that counts for something ig

• you like it when he's naked; NOT in a weird way, you simply like to busy yourself by noting down some small details about his body; moles here, scars there, the paleness of his skin and the veins you can clearly see beneath it, how long his fingers are or how much softer his face is compared to his father’s

• he's surprisingly sensitive to sunlight; comes with having red eyes, after all; you try to hold back your snorts whenever you see him squinting after light hits his face

• apologies after arguments are not his thing, maybe cause he was raised by a self-centered dipshit sociopath with no regard for others’ feelings but you guys can work on that, probably

•he will cling to you like a puppy if he's in one of his more somber moods, doing things like laying his head on your lap and letting you fiddle with his hair until he gets drowsy

• you both like it when you smell of e/o, washing together and using the same products helps with that lots

• the two of you are not guaranteed to have kids; emotional problems y’know?

• does not let you near his mother, maria lets herself near you though, she loves giving you random gifts and complaining about her son if she remembers he exists; whether you tolerate her or not is up to you

• he notes down random things that remind him of you so he can look or think about them to calm down when he’s feeling destructive

• ooc but if it's winter you're throwing his ass into the snow no questions asked, you maybe regret it when he starts to ominously roll a giant snowball while staring at you without blinking

i wanna braid his hair and put him in pretty clothes...

Tracking Saturn's Moons - May 12th, 1996.

"These five pairs of Hubble Space Telescope images track some of Saturn's moons as they orbit the ringed planet. A pair of images was taken every 97 minutes on November 21st, 1995 with the Wide Field Planetary Camera-2, the normally bright ring system appearing nearly edge-on. In the top pair, the large bright moon Dione hangs above center while the smaller moons Pandora, Prometheus, and Mimas (top right image) appear near the planet's disk close to the outer ring. By the second and third pair of images, moons Rhea and Epimetheus have joined the dance. During the Saturn ring plane crossings, the reduction in light from the edge-on rings provided an opportunity for astronomers to explore Saturn's complex moon system and search for elusive undiscovered satellites."

Pandora: Is it still murder if I give them a heads up?

Dione: That's called a threat

Pandora: Damn

[dewitty1]

In the late '80s, Steinman assembled Pandora's Box, a female pop group that included New York-based musician and session singer Elaine Caswell and Bat Out of Hell collaborator Ellen Foley. The group released one concept album in 1989 called Original Sin, and dropped one single in the U.K., a little song called "It's All Coming Back to Me Now."

Never heard of Pandora's Box? Neither have most people. Named after one of Steinman's favourite mythologies, the group consisted of Caswell, Foley, Gina Taylor, Deliria Wilde — and Steinman, who was credited as the keyboardist. But, even before Pandora's Box was in existence, Steinman had been searching for a woman to record his new song. He found Caswell, who spoke with CBC Music over the phone from her home in New York to talk about being the original singer of one of Celine Dion's biggest hits.

Excerpt:

"The next phone call I get from him is, 'Hey, we're gonna do the video, pack your bags and sit down, because I'm going to tell you who's going to direct it.' He tells me it's Ken Russell, the iconic filmmaker who did Tommy, The Devils, Women in Love. I was like, 'What? Steinman and Ken Russell together? That is like so incredibly, amazingly over the top.' We go to London and do the shoot, which was completely over the top. I mean, I'm kissing snakes, I'm dead on a tombstone, this motorcycle's crashing, there's fire, I'm being molested by all my past lovers. It's crazy Steinman. But I was told, 'This song's going to be a huge hit.' That's what everybody said, what Jim said. It was going to be his new 'Total Eclipse of the Heart.'

The video is crazy. Like, I started watching it at work and was making notes, and suddenly you're basically dead and there's an orgy with men in assless chaps and it's not even the three-minute mark. Did you know what you were getting into?

I had no idea. I was game. When I found out it was Ken Russell, I was all over it! It was totally cool, hanging with him during the shoot and drinking wine in the graveyard where we were shooting half of it. I didn't know anything. They said, 'Be at the studio at six in the morning for full body makeup.' I'm like, 'full body makeup? I've never done that.' 'Well, you're going to do it tomorrow because you're going to be under a sheet on a tombstone and we want every part of you all made up so it's all even.' Okay, getting up at the crack of ass and the car takes you there and it's cold and you're standing there with some stranger and you're naked! It was kind of trippy. But I'm not a very shy person, so it was ok.

"It's All Coming Back to Me Now" from the album Original Sin, written and produced by Jim Steinman. Vocals by Elaine Caswell. Featuring the monologue "Teenager in Love" performed by Jim Steinman (video is NSFW)

I get out there and I was like, 'Holy cow.' He brought in all these dancers from Cats in London and had them doing all this crazy stuff. They fit me for a leather, studded, custom-made outfit that was pretty over-the-top. I should have kept it, because it was really cool, but I remember I was so distraught after all the disappointment that I dumped it into a Salvation Army bin. I was so sad. It was such a bittersweet thing for me, like, I can't look at this anymore.

Oh, that's so hard. I can't even imagine.

The hardest thing was when the song resurfaced on the radio with Celine singing it. It was the same exact track I sang on. They just took my vocal off and put her vocal on, and I think Jim told me it was Todd Rundgren who arranged and did the background vocals. I would hear the downbeat of the song (hums a bit) and I'd be in a taxi and I'd just start crying. I'd just have to get out. Or, I could be in the laundromat or the grocery store, it was a huge hit, it was everywhere.

Celine Dion, Meat Loaf, Jim Steinman and the weird, wonderful history of 'It's All Coming Back to me Now'

Here's Celine's version -

apparently celine’s “all coming back to me now” is a cover and the original music video is about a woman who dies during a ritualistic bdsm orgy?

WARNINGS: Novel spoilers

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Today is my birthday, so I decided to post Chapter 11 and maybe 12 today as a lil treat for you horny bastards

◄ PREVIOUS CHAPTER NEXT CHAPTER ►

He smiles and introduces himself, taking your hand and kissing it. The gesture is polite, but the warmth of his lips against your skin sends a small shiver down your spine. Awww, he makes me feel special. You force yourself to stay composed, reminding yourself that Cassis Pedelian is nothing like Lante. He is charming, polite - innocent even.

Lante, ever the showman, places a hand on your back and pushes you slightly forward. "She is from another world," he announces grandly, loud enough for all nearby to hear. "The only one of her kind."

Gasps ripple through the gathered nobles, their eyes widening as they murmur amongst themselves. Your breath catches in your throat, your body stiffening at the unwanted attention. What, someone announces that a person is from another world and you believe him? And Lante, of all people? Seriously? Lante? You instinctively lower your head, attempting to shrink away from their piercing stares. The weight of so many eyes on you is almost suffocating.

Roussel scoffs, arms crossed as he eyes Lante with disdain. "You expect us to believe such nonsense? This is just another one of your ploys,"

Before Lante can retort, a smooth voice cuts in. "Actually..." Orca muses, stepping forward. His eyes gleam with interest, the smirk on his face unsettling. "I did sense a disruption in the world. Something unexplained," Your stomach twists at the name - Orca. A fancy little creep obsessed with magical creatures. You remember his character well. Prideful, delusional, and completely incapable of seeing people as anything other than rare collectables to be possessed. His fascination is never genuine affection; it is ownership wrapped in silk and smiles. He tilts his head and his gaze sharpens as it settles on you. "When did you arrive here?"

You swallow, steadying your voice. "Two weeks ago."

His expression flickers - satisfaction, intrigue. "Ah. That was when the disruption occurred." He nods to himself as if confirming an internal theory. "It has since stabilized, so it is not an issue now. But fascinating..."

Murmurs spread among the guests. The skepticism lingers, but with Orca's confirmation, belief starts to take hold. Your presence here is now undeniable.

Lante, clearly pleased with himself, dismisses the matter with a wave of his hand. "Now that this has been settled, go and mingle," he instructs, his voice laced with an unspoken threat. "Don’t embarrass me." What? That’s it? He just… what?

You exhale slowly, forcing a neutral expression onto your face. Just survive this. The moment he lets you go, you turn on your heel, scanning the crowd desperately. It doesn’t take long to find Roxana - her striking presence makes her easy to spot. You glide through the sea of nobles as gracefully as possible, keeping your head high despite the anxious knot in your stomach.

As soon as you reach her, you mumble under your breath, "I wanted to keep a low profile."

Roxana smirks, sipping her drink leisurely. "No one here can have a low profile," she muses, eyes twinkling with amusement. "You might as well embrace it." Easy for you to say. You're made for this world.

Your eyes drift across the room, cataloguing every face. Some are mere background figures, NPCs that barely warranted a mention in the novel. Others, however, stand out - characters whose futures you know all too well. Pandora, Orca, and-

Your gaze lands on Dion.

He stands near Lante and Roussel, his expression unreadable as his father scolds him. His eyes, however, are sharp and alert, betraying none of his thoughts. He always looks like that - like he’s watching everything and nothing at the same time.

Then, you notice another pair of eyes locked onto you.

Dante.

He stands beside Noel, silent yet unwavering. The moment your eyes meet, a cold sensation runs down your spine. He isn’t simply looking at you - he is watching you. Analyzing, measuring, waiting. Why?

You whisper to Roxana, your voice barely above a breath. "Dante. He’s staring."

She tilts her head, feigning confusion until her gaze lands on him. Her amusement fades. "Strange."

Strange? That’s not reassuring. You glance back at Dante, but his expression remains unreadable. Your mind races, trying to recall every detail about him from the novel. He’s always been loyal to Noel, never stepping out of line. But why is he looking at me like that?

Roxana takes another sip of her wine, her gaze calculating. "Perhaps you’ve caught his interest."

You want to believe that’s all it is - curiosity. But something about his unwavering stare makes your skin prickle with unease. Because deep down, you have a feeling that it isn’t interest at all.

It’s something else entirely.

Your thoughts drift unwillingly to Dion. His face is the only thing that breaks through the fog of your growing anxiety. You remember his stoic expression as he stood over Fontaine. No hesitation. No fury. Just cold resolve. That night, Dion saved you from something horrible, and you thank him for that.

You remember the way Fontaine's sneer turned into terror, the moment he realized Dion wasn't backing down. You remember how you stood frozen, unable to do anything but watch, barely comprehending that you had just been saved.

"You’re thinking about something unpleasant." Roxana's voice pulls you back to the present. Her eyes flicker with understanding. "You do that when you space out."

You force a smile, shaking off the thoughts. "It’s nothing."

She doesn’t believe you. She doesn’t press either.

The rest of the evening blurs into a haze of polite conversation and scrutinizing gazes. Nobles drift in and out of your presence, each more eager than the last to interrogate you about your origins. You answer carefully, maintaining the perfect balance between mystery and diplomacy.

But through it all, you feel it - Dante’s gaze, never wavering. And the thoughts of Dion, lingering like a shadow at the back of your mind. You wonder which one unsettles you more.

⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆

Later, after the event’s chaos has settled somewhat, you spot Luzark standing off to the side, alone.

He’s a strange one - known for his unexplained phobia of women. And yet, something about him draws your attention. I wonder if his reaction to me would be different since I’m not from this world. I don’t expect it would though. After all, I am still a woman.

Why does he act this way? What could have caused such a reaction to something so normal? The thought lingers in your mind as you take a step forward. A shame we never got a reason.

Curiosity wins. You approach him, watching the way his shoulders tense slightly as you near. His purple eyes flicker to you, reminding you of a certain… eccentric, widening just a fraction before he quickly masks his expression. Still, he doesn’t retreat.

That’s interesting. He’s not immediately running away. Does that mean he’s willing to tolerate me? Or maybe… he’s just good at hiding it.

"Luzark, right?" you say gently.

He hesitates, then to your surprise, he smiles. It’s small, barely there, but undeniably genuine. "Yes. And you must be… the one from another world."

You nod. Before you can say anything else, he takes your hand and, with the grace of a practiced noble, presses a kiss to your knuckles. The warmth of his lips against your skin sends a small shiver down your spine.

Wait. Luzark is willingly touching me? No, more than that - he kissed my hand? I expected Cassis, but Luzark? No way! The thought scrambles your logic for a moment, but you manage to keep your face neutral, fighting to keep your composure.

His grip lingers just a moment longer than necessary before he releases you. "It’s a pleasure to meet you." The moment feels oddly delicate - like glass balanced on a ledge. Luzark, despite his phobia, is composed, his expression unreadable. And yet, for the briefest moment, you see something flicker in his eyes. Uncertainty. A quiet, hidden struggle. Is he fighting against his own instincts right now? Or is this a sign that I truly am different? He clears his throat, "I hope you’re finding our world… accommodating."

You allow a small smile. "It has its moments."

A fleeting smirk tugs at his lips. That reaction - there it is again. He’s not completely uncomfortable. I must be an exception. But why? I must be in my Y/N moment. First Cassis, now Luzark. No, first Dion, then Cassis, then Luzak.

The air between you hums with an unspoken tension, fragile yet undeniable. You realize then that Luzark intrigues you in a way few others do. You decide you’d like to see more of that.

Last night shift before the first play test of the Therapy Game.

They are so excited ^^' I'm glad Saiwa is his old self again. It's so hard for me to see him suffer. They are so cute! ^^'

Jack noticed that Ji Ho is sad and exhausted: "Let's take a break, hm?"

And as soon as he said it, Ji Ho ran out. It still hurts that Vlad rejected him. Saiwa: "What happened?"

And so Jack explained that the idea was to get physical with Vlad so Ji Ho can gain access to his buried feelings. And that Vlad rejected him... Saiwa: "Vlad!" Vlad: "But - how was I supposed to know? I didn't attend your therapy session and no one told me. He tried to kiss me out of the blue and you know I can't resist him and then we'd go to far and ..."

"I just can't treat Ji Ho like this. He only should do such things with someone he loves. Not to cast bond magic and not to find his feelings. There is no need to do this anyway. Because there is another way - and we are just working on it -> this game."

Saiwa sighed: "Uhm right... I should probably go and look after him then... By the way: Is it ok for you to stay here for so long? How are Jeb and Kiyoshi doing? If you need to check on them, just leave." Vlad: "Uhm - no, it's actually fine. I can stay and finish the game with you." Saiwa sensed there is something foul: "What?" Vlad: "Ehm... actually they now live together at Jeb's apartment and care for each other..." Oh oh. (Jeb and Kiyoshi knew each other long before we met them. And Saiwa and Jack had always been jealous. Jeb had even joined Kiyoshi in the tree to take a part of the burden off of him while no one else of them knew where he was...) Jack regained his composure before Saiwa: "It's all my fault! I go and run!" Saiwa: "How is this your ... ohhh"

(That's Saiwa and Jack's way to deal with things ^^' Jack doesn't care to be Saiwa's scapegoat to hunt down. He knows it's the only way for Saiwa to let his frustration out and he's glad to help haha And Jack too needs a good run right now after this revelation...) Saiwa: "Ok. You look after Ji Ho then, Vlad."

Vlad: "Ehm, ok..."

And then they ran.

Vlad instead went to look after Ji Ho... How embarrassing - again. Will it never end? Vlad doesn't even know if it's a good idea to dig out Ji Ho's feelings. It kept him sane for all these years burying them deep deep down. Do the others even consider that it's not possible to just dig out the feelings of love? Ji Ho would have to open Pandora's Box and all his surpressed feelings would hit him - all at once.

Vlad: "Forgive me."

Did you notice that it rained again? And did you know that mermaids can change the weather? And that it only rained when Ji Ho was sad? And when the sun came out the other day, it was when Ji Ho was happy that Vlad was there and Vlad was happy to see Ji Ho happy?

'If I kiss you like this And if you whisper like that It was lost long ago, but it's all coming back to me If you want me like this And if you need me like that It was dead long ago, but it's all coming back to me It's so hard to resist, and it's all coming back to me I can barely recall, but it's all coming back to me now But it's all coming back'

Pandora's Box - It's all coming Back to me now (You might know this song from Celine Dion, but this is the original, written by Jim Steinman (who also wrote songs for Meatloaf)

Vlad being overly theatrical ^^'

And maybe they kissed because Vlad is unable to resist Ji Ho :3
