(Arranged marriage to duke john price except it means you married four instead of one 👁️👁️)
Your marriage to Duke Price is one out of necessity: you need a husband before high society begins rumoring you to be a barren woman and too old to be married off, and Duke Price needs a wife who is able to take on Duchess duties of his duchies.
You do not expect love, though you suppose it’d be a nice bonus. You are merely glad that Duke Price is a reasonable handsome man, and he informs you on your wedding night that he will not force himself on you, and there is no need to immediately begin attemtping for an heir.
You take admirably to your new duties, have been raised practically for this purpose though the head butler Kyle is wonderful in helping you as well- actually all the servants have been wonderful towards you. You have regular dinners with John, though they are a bit stilted but at least Chef Johnny’s food is good enough you can easily forget the tense atmosphere. You can tell your husband is hiding something- you are sometimes barred from going to his office to him, certain rooms are not allowed for you, and you are not allowed anywhere near the letters addressed to him- but as long as it isn’t hurting you, why should you bother him? So you never ask, and he seems happy enough that you don’t.
Until you accidentally stumble upon him and Duke Riley exchanging tongues. Very heatedly, hands grasping and tugging on each other’s clothes and Duke Riley sat on your husband’s desk.
It’s hot.
What’s not so hot is the way they both look at you when they realize you are there. You stutter, face a red so fierce it’d put a furnace to shame, and bolt out of the room despite hearing John call your name.
And you also skip out on the dinners for now, pretending you are sick with the help of your maids and their makeup skills.
But suddenly, it’s like your eyes have been opened. It’s not just Duke Riley who seems to hold a part of your husband’s heart; the one time you gather enough courage to maybe go speak with John and address the situation, you see Kyle stumbling out all disheveled and flushed, though he has a very satisfied air around him. He freezes when he sees you, and your jaw drops.
“My lady-“
“I- I’ll just- I’m taking a walk! Alone!”
You go to the kitchens instead, hoping that Johnny would have something delicious you can eat. Maybe something cold enough to wash away the blush on your cheeks.
Johnny is weirdly silent, however, even as he whips up chocolate mousse for you. His silence is not normal, it feels… almost guilty…
You sighs, take in a deep breath, and gather your dress. “Johnny… are you too…-?”
“Aye, m’lady. But-“
You can’t take it anymore. You leave the kitchens, and go straight back to your bedroom to bury your face in your bed. It’s not as if you are upset! It’s just- a rather befuddling situation?
Two nights later, it’s John himself who comes to you. You had assumed it was one of your maids returning with a new jar of oil for your nightly hair routine, but it’s your husband. You are glad it’s winter, and you aren’t simply in a thin nightgown.
“Wife.” He says, voice steady yet strained.
“John.”
You can’t call him husband. You’ve spent the last two days thinking and you were… rather sad. You were in the way of whatever they had (you saw Kyle and Johnny kissing, Johnny specifically sending food addressed to Duke Riley), weren’t you?
John sighs, sitting down on the settee while you remain on your vanity. After a moment of awkward silence, he opens his eyes and looks at you. “…what do you want to remain silent about this?”
You blink, raising an eyebrow. “…huh?”
John’s fists clench. “How much do you want in return for your silence?”
Frowning, you set your brush down and fully turn to him even if you feel exposed despite your thicker nightgown. “Is this about your… partners?” You say the word delicately, then shake your head. “I want nothing, John. If you are worried about me starting anything, I won’t. I just… hope this doesn’t mean you will divorce me?”
Being a divorced woman might as well be a death sentence on its own.
He looks at you, shocked into silence, and you quickly explain; his relationships have nothing to do with you and you aren’t a petty woman, who are you to come between what he and they have? You only hope this won’t take away the protection this marriage gave you.
That night, thus, you and John reach an agreement you are sure both of you are satisfied with.
Except, months later, John is no longer satisfied.
With the ice broken between the two of you. The dinners have become so much more… relaxing and comfortable, far less than they had been. No secrecy was needed when you were around anymore, and you only giggle and look away, feigning innocence when they share tender kisses between one another… and the less polite kisses.
John can’t remain satisfied with this arrangement. You are such a sweet thing, now that he’s become to know you far better. He can see the way his men are looking at you now, something between fondness and hunger and want; Kyle helps you far more often now, despite your insistence that you can do it yourself. Even when you do it yourself, he stays by you and ensures you are comfortable.
And he joins your evening walks, arms looped as the two of you speak, laughing and giggling.
It’s similar to your late night chats with Johnny, where he plies your full of sweets and desserts until even your dreams are full of sweeter kisses you are sure will never be for you. Johnny, who cooks your favorites on hard days and who you heard from Kyle is even more serious about only having the best of the best in vegetables and meats and seasonings.
And Duke Riley… for all his stoicism, he is gentle with you. Even when he’d stared at you with doubt and mistrust, no doubt believing you to be lying to John and simply waiting for the shoe to drop and for you to ruin them. Yet it never happens, and now, during the galas you attend all dolled up on John’s arm and ignoring all murmurs about still having no children, you even dance with him and giggle at his terribly dry jokes, even share a few of your own with him.
Steadily, slowly, obliviously, John has watched each of his men fall for you. This, obviously, made you theirs. It made you his, more and more than you already were.
It’s why your current request is making him clench his glass in his hand, with Kyle looking on in displeasure as well, giving him subtle glances.
“-So that’s why I was asking, John,” you remain sweetly oblivious, adorned in a pretty dress Simon had gotten for you recently. “He will not spread any rumors, I’ll personally make sure of that-”
Your cheeks darken then, and you glance away. “I- I am… merely a bit- unsatisfied, if you understand my point. And the stable man is loyal to you, he wouldn’t say anything.”
It’s clear he needs to keep a better watch over you. Where and when did you even interact with his stable boy, Graves? Though he focused on your words.
Unsatisfied.
Well, he can’t have that, can he? You’ve done your wifely duties so admirably, it’s about time he took care of you as well… and maybe dealt with the baseless barren rumors as well. A baby would keep you nice and content and focused on them alone, wouldn’t it?
Oh yes. Yes, it would.

A knock was heard at the door, upon opening it you saw Autumn with her hair down (and very obviously hacked with saftey scissors)
She'd barely even look at you, like she was deciphering what was real and what was fake
..I-
Hello...?
Barnaby had never seen her so deflated. Defeated.
@duchess-of-dilemma
“Greetings.” He said as he walked to the door. Even in his home he was clad in his jacket and mask.
He had two mugs of hot chocolate all ready
“Unfortunately we just don’t have the space in our apartment for two more people. But I’ve already found a new lab nearby since the fire incident and you two can have the honor of being the first to take residence in it for now. I’ve set up some mattresses in there”

Sister
Pairing: Kaz Brekker x sister!reader 
Summary: No one knew that Kaz had a sister...
Idk why or how I came up with this, but I loved the idea too much not to write
Also third person just fit this one lol, I’m not the biggest fan, but let me know what you guys think
No one knew that Kaz Brekker had a sister, few people even knew about his older brother.  But he had: back when he was Kaz Rietveld, the only thing on his mind being whether he could convince Jordie to buy him a hot chocolate, there had been a third Rietveld.  Jordie, the eldest, entrusted with his father’s fortune, Kaz, the impressionable, joyful young boy, and Y/N, only a year Kaz’s junior.
When the firepox came, and Kaz succumbed to the fever, she had as well.  And when Kaz woke to find Jordie cold beneath his touch, her body had been nowhere in sight.  Was she dead, or had she somehow survived?  It was easier to assume the former, for Kaz to forge ahead alone in the world.  All three Rietveld siblings died then, but only Kaz was reborn, vengeance burning like an inferno in his heart.  For Jordie, for Y/N, he would bring Ketterdam to its knees.
Years later, Kaz would learn that she had indeed survived.  After the plague had passed, a pair of Ravkan nobles arrived in Ketterdam, offering to take in the orphans the firepox had created.  “It was a Ravkan ship that brought it,” they said.  “If our country can give these children a life, then we will take them.”  She’d been one of the first children taken, adopted by the Duke and Duchess themselves.  Y/N had been raised in Ravka: learned their language, their customs, their faith.  And when she came of age, she was presented to court, as all the children of nobility were, to make a good marriage.  
Y/N had been lucky.  She had not only made an advantageous match, but she’d found true love as well.  Her new husband doted on her night and day, granting her every wish.  And when she wished to discover whether her brothers had survived the Queen’s Lady Plague all those years ago, she discovered her husband had many connections in which to obtain that information.
It hadn’t been easy, but Y/N’s husband had found him.  Kaz wasn’t a common name, after all.  When he’d received the letter, he’d thought it a joke, but as he read on, he realized the letter contained details that no one but his sister could have known.  Kaz, it said.  If you’re reading this, then I want you to know that I’m alive.  I was adopted and taken to Ravka after the firepox passed.  If I’d have known you survived, I would have insisted they take you too.  But I had no clue where you were or if you and Jordie had made it.
I want you to know that I’m alive, that I’m safe.  Life in Ravka has been good to me; I’m married now!  Saints, I think you’d adore my husband, the two of you are exactly the same.  At least… how I remember you to be.  Please, Kaz, write back to me.  Let me know that you’re alive, that you’ve survived, that I haven’t been mourning you for no reason for 15 years.  I’m afraid I can’t disclose too much about my life in writing, but if you give a letter to a woman named Lila at the Ravkan embassy, she’ll ensure it gets to me.  I love you, brother, time has not changed that.  -Y/N.
There had been no last name affixed, no address, so naturally, Kaz’s interest was piqued.  For months, he corresponded with her through Lila, learning more about who she was,  her life in Ravka, and who she’d married.  It interested him not only because the information might be useful one day, but because Y/N was family, she was his sister.  Indeed, the information was useful, as Kaz and his Crows had been tasked with a nearly impossible job.
A Shu priest had hired Kaz to steal what she claimed was a relic of Sankt Kho, one that had been taken from the temples of Amhrat Jen decades ago.  But, as Nina so aptly pointed out, breaking into the Grand Palace’s religious archives would break at least a dozen Ravkan laws.  “We’d be arrested immediately and labeled as heretics as well as criminals.  The Apparat himself would try to oversee our executions.”
“I have a way around that,” Kaz had said, but Nina wasn’t convinced.  “Do you?  I know your tricks Kaz.  Those archives are guarded day and night, there’s one way in and one way out, no windows, no secondary escapes.  Do you think you can waltz right in and take Sankt Kho’s relic?”  “Not quite waltz, but yes.”  The Heartrender snarled.  “Short of a letter from the Queen of Ravka, there’s no possible way you can get in there alone.  Do you have that, Kaz?”
“Actually I do.”  Jesper, Inej, and Wylan looked on with disbelief.  “All Saints, you can admit defeat, you know?  We won’t judge you!”  Kaz pulled a letter from his coat and tossed it on the table.  It bore the Lantsov seal and the Queen’s signature, and Nina gaped.  “And how did you manage to get your hands on this?”  Kaz, if there’s ever anything you need, know that I will use the full extent of my powers to help you.  I couldn’t help you before, brother, so let me help you now.  Of course, if it’s blatant murder, then I’ll have to deny.  We can’t have the Queen of Ravka tied up in a homicide, now can we?  “Because,” Kaz said, hesitant to reveal this, the ace up his sleeve, his final secret.  “She’s my sister.”

Send "Let's go home." to find my muse out in the rain, alone and freezing
Sparrow holds out her hand to Duch, giving her a friendly smile. Sparrow: "Let's go home." @deathurgeoverdrive
Duchess had started to shiver when Sparrow found her. She hadn't thought it would have rained quite so hard, but here she was, no hood, no umbrella, now soaked to the skin. If she wasn't feeling so cold, because she had dressed appropriately, she wouldn't have minded, but because she was getting colder by the second, she was starting to feel a little miserable.
Then someone was standing in front of her, with their hand outstretched, and a familiar voice spoke up. Duchess smiled back and took Sparrow's hand, glad for a friend. "Yes," She replied, the relief evident in her voice. "And when we get back, I'll make us both some hot chocolate. The whole works, too."

Bride of Discord Rewritten, Chapter 7: The Arrangement
Discord was still laughing huskily when they arrived at their destination. On the outside it looked as if it were a quaint little maroon cottage on a floating patch of earth, surrounded by fences and stone paths. Below the floating land was bridges that lead nowhere, other land plots housing trees, which melted as if they were molten. The grass had patterns unnatural and almost sickly. Some were upside-down. Coral floated in places it shouldn't. Surrounding it all, was a view of the Everfree Forest, desaturated and piercing. Jutting out at every angle was rot and mustard yellow.
Fluttershy gazed up at what seemed to be a dark floating castle to her. dark Cotton candy clouds surrounded it, raining chocolate milk.
"Like what I've done with the place?" the draconequus asked her.
"It's…" she stammered, "lovely."
"Wait until you see the inside!"
He carried her to the door and opened it up. Fluttershy's eyes widened at the interior. It was like looking at a drawing by M.C. Escher, with stairs leading to nowhere and doors hanging sideways. It looked like he collaborated with Jackson Pollock.
"Welcome to my humble abode!" Discord said proudly. "Or should I say our humble abode? What do you think?"
Something drained her entire head. Her vision was fuzzy, as if her eyelashes stuck to her eyes. God, her head felt like the inside was expanding, pressuring the skull like a hydraulic press. Her hooves were sore, and unbearably hot. Her balance was gone and she felt her mouth go to mush.
He chuckled. "You'll get used to it, my dear. After all, this is your new home."
"My…my…"
Fluttershy fainted in his arms. He summoned a daybed and set her down gently. He gazed in triumph at his prize. how easy it would be to simply not give her anything? It'd work just as well if I tweaked the plan just a bit. The thought sent a shudder down his back. One that was known when somepony sees something terrifying. How disturbing, though? Is she not a living thing like me?
"She sacrificed herself for us?" Cadence asked in wonder.
"She thought she was the only one who could do it," Applejack explained solemnly.
"He told us what our freedom would have cost, but I never would have thought Fluttershy…"
She buried her face in her husband's shoulder
"That creature hath gone too far!" Luna bellowed, using her traditional Canterlot voice. "We motion that we go to that castle and demand he return the pegasus at once!"
Celestia put a wing around her. "No, sister. If the agreement made is broken, Discord could have the right and power to unleash his chaos again."
Her head hung heavy next to her sister's. "Thou canst not expect us to allow such an innocent soul to be tied to that monster! We know not of his intentions!
"This is all my fault," Twilight whimpered. "I'm sorry, Princess Celestia. I've failed you."
Celestia raised an eyebrow. "How have you failed me?
"You left me in charge of Equestria, and it was put in danger because I didn't take precaution. And…I let one of my best friends accept a fate worse than death!" She hid her face in her hooves. "I'm a terrible ruler!"
She stopped crying as her mentor lifted her chin. "To be a ruler means one has to make difficult decisions for the good of her subjects. There was nothing else to be done."
"It should have been me then! I could have handled him, I could have…"
"I am as distressed as you are, but this was her choice. Discord may do terrible things, but believe me when I say he won't bring Fluttershy any physical harm."
"How do you know that?"
"His nature is to corrupt that which is orderly, not to inflict pain. Some creatures…are not as evil as they seem. In the meantime, you made as best of a princess as you could. Now, your duty is to be duchess once more."
"So," Pinkie Pie sniffed, "what do we do now?"
"what we may do now is contact her as much as we can while we live out our days. To keep her as a part of our lives is as important to her as it is to us."
When Fluttershy had gained consciousness, she was lying on a couch. She glanced at her surroundings and the ring around her neck, realizing that the events of the day hadn't been a dream, sighing heavily. I've accepted Discord's proposal, saved the princesses, lost my friends and freedom all in one day. Now I'm engaged to the Lord of Chaos with no escape. Speaking of which, where was Discord?
Her answer came sooner than expected as the creature materialized above her. She squeaked and jumped to the back of the couch in surprise.
"Have a nice rest, my dear?" he asked.
She struggled to get her words out. "H-how long was I out?"
"About an hour or so. I took the time to decorate your room. You like green, right?"
"S-sure?"
"Of course, we could always share the room after the wedding..." He said, before laughing. "Just jokes, just jokes!" He began to walk off.
Fluttershy shivered at the thought. "Hey hey hey, don't go away!"
He turned his head 180 degrees, like an owl. All before turning his body to match.
"Um, w-when i-is this w-wedding exactly?"
"Oh, it could be next month, next week, or even tomorrow, if you like!"
"T-tomorrow?!"
"That reminds me. We need to pick out your dress! I know it's bad luck for me to see it and all, but given the circumstances…"
"Um, don't you think…?"
She found herself standing on a pedestal facing three mirrors. Discord was dressed as a tailor and taking her measurements.
"Now, let's see. I'd say you're a size four. Am I right?"
"Aren't you going…?"
She watched in shock as Discord made several wedding gowns appear on her body.
"Too frilly. Too casual. Too flowery. Not flowery enough. Too white. Too blue. Ooh, do you like an alternative wedding? I sure do! How's about a scene dress? Or what if we didn't go for the western wedding at all!"
He stopped at an ivory colored gown with green trimming. A thin veil draped over her head from a crown of blue daisies.
"Why, darling," he purred, gesturing towards her reflection. "You look beautiful. Your fiancé's very lucky to have you. Oh wait. That's me!
She couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "DISCORD YOU LISTEN!"
"Yes, my dear?"
She turned to face him. "Don't you think tomorrow's a bit…soon?"
He pretended to think about it. "No."
"B-but…I hardly know you as it is…"
"Do I need to remind you of the terms of our agreement?"
"I'll still marry you, just…not yet."
"Care to explain your reasons behind this?"
"Well…I…you see…"
"Oh, come now, dear. Let's not be strangers. Tell me."
She fiddled with her mane. "I'd wanna fall in love before I get married."
"Oh, there will be plenty of time for that."
Fluttershy swallowed her fear and narrowed her eyes at him. "You said you would give me whatever I desired, right?"
Discord fiddled with his hands. "I did say that, didn't I?"
"Well, I desire that we postpone our wedding. you said you wanted a willing bride, right?"
"I did, but…"
"I would be even more willing if we got to know each other first!"
A faint sense of tension cut through the air briefly. "Alrighty, okay!" He snapped his fingers, making the gown and mirrors disappear. "We'll postpone the wedding for now."
"Until…when?" she could not help but ask.
An idea struck him. "I'll tell you what." He continued as he circled her. "Every night, I will ask you a teensy question. If you don't give me the answer I want, I will keep asking until you do."
"And…when I do?"
"Well," he smirked, "let's just say that'll be our wedding day."
Fluttershy was confused, although less frightened. "W-what's the question?"
"I'll tell you later. Right now, you look hungry."
As if on cue, her stomach grumbled. "I did skip breakfast…"
"Say no more!"
An oddly shaped table appeared between them and they were seated on either end. Discord summoned a candelabrum as a last minute touch.
"What will it be, my dear? Chicken à la king? Lobster? Does it need to be kosher?"
As he listed each dish, it appeared before her.
"Um," Fluttershy uttered. "I'm a vegetarian."
"Oh, right. My bad. Hay? Oats? Baked Alaska?"
"oh!" She beamed! "May i have cold carrots and oats? It's been a while!"
Sure enough, a bowl of perfectly large oats and cold wet, crisp carrots materialized before her. Discord then summoned a bowl of what appeared to be…
"Um…is that…paper?"
"Is it?" he said, taking bite of it. "Hmm, crunchy. Want some?" It was vintage pages of an old mystery series, Nancy Croup.
She raised an eyebrow. It was tempting, but it probably wasn't good paper. It had ink on it, and was likely parchment. "I'll…pass."
Well, he is part goat after all. Fluttershy glanced down at the dish in front of her, shaking as she lifted her fork. Discord was confused at her hesitation.
"It's not poisoned, if that's what you're thinking."
She smiled nervously and took a bite of the oats and carrots. The flavors practically popped on her tongue. It was refreshing!
"Delicious," she gulped.
"Perhaps you would like some dressing! Thousand-island or ranch?"
"Um, ranch? On the side for the carrots."
A bottle appeared in the air and squirted the substance into a small plate. One of them played that are only used by fancied ponies.
"T-thanks." Fluttershy uttered once the bottle had vanished.
"Anything for my fiancé!" He stared at her as she shivered in her seat. "You find me terrifying, don't you?"
She looked down at her hooves. "I…well… I'm not quite terrified. You're not as scary as a bear, Or dragon, or manticore. You just look like that, don't think I'm surprised by much anymore..."
He shrugged. "Perfectly understandable. After all, my appearance is quite…unique." He grinned slyly at her. "Yours, on the other hand… well, its unique in the other direction!"
He put his paw in the direction of her face, never quite touching it, as if to ask beforehand. She backed away, slowly as possible before her chair fell. Fluttershy forgot she was sitting. He caught her with his tail before she could hit the ground and lifted her to meet his eyes.
"What? Ravishing not a good enough word? How about stunning? Beautiful? Gorgeous?"
"Stop!" she squeaked.
"Stop what?" he asked as he teasingly.
Fluttershy wriggled out of his hold. "L-look, I…appreciate the compliment, but…"
She forced a smile as she returned to her seat. She tried to finish her food, but her stomach turned. It was nice to be complimented, but golly, it was uncomfortable. Maybe because it meant nothing after all those stallions said it to her. They didn't know real love, they just wanted her because... She had money? She had looks? Was beauty even real? To her there was no such thing, because nothing in the world is ugly.
"What?" Discord said. "Not used to some pony calling you beautiful?" He chuckled. "Well, you should get used to it, because I'm going to keep calling you that."
He made a gold crown appear on her head. Fluttershy relaxed, but it was rather heavy.
"You know what?" she said quickly. "I'm really tired!"
"Imagine! Our own little chaos corner of the world! No pony to tell us what to do! You can have whatever you want, be whatever you want, and do whatever you want! And I'll be by your side, doing all the heavy lifting!"
Discord scoffed. "Don't be ridiculous! It's hardly even noon yet!"
"Oh, but I didn't get much sleep last night!" She faked a stretch. "Oh yes, I'm very tired! I should really get to bed!"
"Oh, very well! But first, my question…"
Fluttershy shrunk. "Yes?"
He cupped her chin in his paw. "Do you love me?"
Her eyes widened. "W-what?!"
"I asked: do you love me?"
She was silent for a long while, about ready to faint again. Would he get mad if she gave her honest answer? But if she said yes, then they would be married immediately.
"N-no."
Discord shrugged. "Fair enough. Though here's a heads up, my dear. I'm going to keep asking you until you say yes."
"W-why do you…want to…?"
"You said you wanted to fall in love before you got married, so…" He gave her a wink. "Now, let's get you to bed, shall we?"
He picked her up bridal style and carried her to a door that was thankfully right-side-up. He opened it to reveal a room with wavy green walls. It felt like a perfect cottage with fairy lights and... Nordic weapons. For whatever reason.
"I know how you ponies are about gravity," Discord said, "though it is quite boring." He opened a white oddly shaped wardrobe. "Here are some clothes for you, in case you're in a fancy mood. If you don't like them, I can make a few alterations."
He carefully set her down on a canopy bed and gestured towards the chandelier hanging above. "Watch this."
He clapped his hands and the candles went out. Another clap illuminated them again.
"Neat, huh? Ooh!" He pointed to a record player. "In case it gets too quiet for you…" He moved the rod and the record played Fluttershy's favorite lullaby. How did he know?
"Oh, and if you get hungry in the middle of the night," he showed her a microwave sitting on a counter in the corner, "simply press one of these buttons: hay, oats, honey melon, pineapple, whatever you'd like! Except honeydew. That sucks. Oh!" He flew over to the windows. "And I made sure you got a great view!"
He flung open the green curtains, revealing the foggy, dreary forest outside. "Well, maybe not a great view, but hey, any view's better than no view!"
He waited excitedly for her reaction. Fluttershy was struck dumb as she glanced around the room. He had really put a lot of effort into this, and he seemed so eager to please her. She was starting to think Zecora was right, but it was all so much to take in.
Discord frowned at her silence. "Is it not to your liking?"
"N-no it's…" she stammered, "it's…fine."
"Was the microwave too much?"
"probably…"
"Would you prefer pink instead of green?"
"Um…"
"The bed not comfy enough?"
"It's fine!" she snapped. "Really, it's fine! Lovely, even! It's…nice. But..."
Discord accepted her answer and drifted to the door. "Now if there's anything else you need, just holler! Sleep tight!"
"Sly?" his reflection scoffed. "You're acting like a big softy, kissing up to that wimpy pegasus!"
Once he had closed the door, Fluttershy waited until she was sure he was gone. Then she buried her face in a lace pillow. It felt like a distant and tragic ballroom song echoed in her head. Like it was being slowly forgotten.
"Oh, Discord, you sly devil!" the draconequus mused as he admired himself in the mirror.
"Don't you understand? This is better than we could have hoped for! Listen, the ponies can't turn us to stone without the Element of Kindness, right?"
"Right. But what does that matter? They already promised not to use the Elements against us."
"Only because they didn't have a choice, but if any of our deals were to be broken, then we could be free to do whatever we want!"
"And where does the pegasus fall into this?"
He cackled. "I'll bet you by the end of the month, that pegasus will be so hopelessly in love with me, she'll do just about anything for me! She won't be able to use her Element against me, which means there will be nothing stopping me from taking over Equestria! And just think! I'll even gain a queen in the process!"
His reflection burst into laughter. "Really?! That's your plan?! Do you honestly think that little pony would fall in love with you?!"
Discord put his hands on his hips. "And why not?"
"Well, have you looked at yourself lately?"
"Hey, I have my charms!"
"Are you talking about the magic kind of charms or the wooing kind of charms? Because the latter is just hopeless!"
He grabbed the mirror. "How would you like to be smashed into millions of pieces?!"
"Hey, hey! Seven years bad luck!"
"Don't talk to me about bad luck! I invented bad luck!"
He lifted the glass, ready to destroy it. Then he paused and slapped himself in the face.
"What am I doing?"
He set the mirror down and stared at his reflection, which had returned to normal. He studied his distorted face and thought of Fluttershy's beauty. How could he win her heart? She had already agreed to marry him, but not because she wanted to. She only wanted to save her friends. Why would she ever want him?
He shook these thoughts out of his head. "Oh, what does it matter? There are other ways to impress a lady." He studied his reflection again. "Though maybe I should trim my beard."
Oh Discord, still talking to yourself.

What are the favorite foods of the Disney Heroines (non-Princess)?
Alice: Cherry tarts, glazed cakes (as long as they don't make her grow into a giant), and hot buttered toast with orange marmalade.
Wendy: Chocolate, which she and her brothers are always given by their mother to take away the taste of the bitter health tonic they take before bed.
Lady: Spaghetti and meatballs. Only Tony's, though, because he's one of the few chefs who doesn't include onions or garlic (both toxic to dogs) in his recipe.
Perdita: Her regular dog food. Roger and Anita are less prone to giving their dogs human food than Jim Dear and Darling.
Duchess: Baked salmon with French herbs, and cream to drink (as long as there are no sleeping pills in it).
Maid Marian: Medieval sweet stew with red wine and currants.
Miss Bianca: Körözött – a soft Hungarian cheese spread.
Nala: Antelope.
Esmeralda: Traditional Romani stew with meat, cabbage, rice or potatoes, and plenty of spicy paprika and garlic – cheap yet delicious.
Meg: Olives, grapes, and goat cheese.
Jane: Wild jungle fruits.
Lilo: Hawaiian sweet and sour pork.
Vanellope: Candy of all types.
Judy Hopps: Carrots.
Mirabel: Her mother's arepas con queso.

Hot Chocolate Conversations{L.L.}
✰ 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: ace!Luna Lovegood x reader
✰ 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭: .4k words
Tumblr media
You were freezing your tail end off while walking back from herbology. You wanted to get to your dormitory and curl up under the comfy blankets.
You were just about to pass the Great Hall when you heard your name. It was soft but you heard it.
You turned to go into the hall when you spot Luna. She already had a cup of hot chocolate for you waiting in the seat across from her.
"Hey," You greeted breathlessly.
Luna smiled as she watched you struggle onto the bench. "Hi. How was class?" She asked, silently applauding you when you finally swung your leg over properly.
"Good." You responded. "How come you weren't there?" You asked the girl in front of you.
You wrapped your hands around the ceramic mug in front of you and sighed the second your frozen fingers made contact. You wanted to hold on to the warmth for forever.
"Oh it's much too cold. I decided to not go." Luna said as if it was obvious, which, to be fair, it was a good point.
You took a sip of hot chocolate, almost choking on it when Luna gave her reasoning. "Luna you can't just skip class when you feel like it."
Luna tilted her head, not understanding what was the matter. "Why not?"
"It's not good for... grades."
"I don't know... I'm part of the Hot Chocolate Squad so I'm allowed." She said, finally marking the page in her book that was out and scooting it to the side.
"The... The Hot Chocolate Squad?"
Luna smiled at your confusion. "Hogwarts is trying a new thing this winter. A few students make hot chocolate all day and help cold students."
You narrowed your eyes at her and softened quickly. "Fine. You get a pass."
"I always do." She smiled, putting her book in her bag and grabbing her now-empty mug, fully prepared to leave.
You shook your head at your best friend and finished your hot chocolate.
"I can't believe you. I want to do that."
"You can't skip class." Luna repeated back to you. "Also it's full." She responded as she left the Great Hall.
How dare.

A Royal Valentine's Day
Tumblr media
Gabriella sat in the limo as she heading back to the palace she had a meeting with a duchess and had established a trade negotiation with her. She felt good and was ready to tell Liam all about it. She pulled out her phone and looked at the date Oh geez look at the time will I be able to give Liam his Valentine’s gift I really wanted to do something amazing for him She sighs then smiles Well it’s ok I can still do something for him I bet he’s not even back with all the meetings he has
The Limo pulls up to the palace gates and Gabriella walks inside she looks around and sees no sign of Liam It sounds quiet I guess he’s not here She walked up the stairs to their living room and saw a note on the table
Gabriella,
Happy Valentine’s Day my love I’m waiting for you at a secret location but first I’ve got some surprises for you what they are I can not tell you’re gonna have to find out for yourself. Now head to the limo I’ve the driver instructions on where to take you. First put on the dress I left for you on the bed and head outside love you with everything within me
Liam
Gabriella grinned widely as she headed to the bedroom and saw a beautiful simmering purple dress with shoes and jewelry next to it she quickly puts it on and admires herself in the mirror “Liam has amazing taste” She heads out her door to the limo then drives away
****
The limo pulls up at the airport and Gabriella gets on the private jet she smiles as she drinks her wine Liam is always doing over the top things for me I can’t wait to see what he has in store for me The plane lands in New York and another limo brings her back to her old bar Gabriella steps inside and her eyes light up as she sees the place decorated with millions of rose bouquets Gabriella smiles as she reads a note on one of them
My Love,
Remember when we first met here? I know I was with the guys all night but my eyes were only on you. I couldn’t stop admiring at how beautiful you were and still are. Honestly I’ve never had my heart skip a beat as it did that night and I remember everything you did for me to see the Statue of Liberty and then when we kissed I swear fireworks when off it was such an amazing night. I’m repaying you back for that night 100 times over but even this could not amount to love I have for you. Now head to the next destination my love
Liam
Gabriella felt tears coming to her eyes “Oh God Liam you’re gonna make me cry” She took one of the bouquets and headed to the limo. The limo takes her back to the jet and the jet lands back in Cordonia and the limo takes her to the palace gardens she heads to the center of the maze and sees a table with multiple boxes of chocolate she reads the next note
Love,
Remember we came here during the ball and I confessed how much I love you. To be honest with you I knew I was in love with you while we were in Lythikos and we spent that time in the hot tub together. I wanted to tell you during the beach party but wasn’t the right time and we got interrupted by those animals running around. After all the time we spent together I wanted to make sure when I said it would be the perfect moment. I almost lost control a few times specifically while we were at the Beaumont estate God you were so beautiful and it took everything within me not to ravish you right there. Now I can say it whenever I want and have you in my arms everyday I love you. Now off to the next stop
Liam
“Aww Liam this is so sweet” She opens one of the boxes and eats the chocolate “Mmm this is good I wonder what else is in store” She heads to the limo. The limo drives her back to the airport and she boards the jet and the jet lands in Paris. She heads to the limo and it stops at a hotel. The front desk people hand her the room key and Gabriella heads to the room and opens the door. There’s a single box on the bed and she opens it her eyes go wide at the sight of the necklace and earrings inside she reads the note beside it
Love,
All throughout the engagement tour with Madeline my mind was all on you I couldn’t get you out of my head I wanted to do so much with you throughout it. Honestly it was disgusting that Madeline even offered me that deal but I had no choice but to take it since there was plot against you. But once we figured it out I was so glad to finally be with the woman I love so much. The tour we had I was much happier to know that we were planning our wedding and that I would officially call you my wife. The happiest day of my life was the day we stood at the altar and said I do. I swear I stopped breathing the minute I saw you in that dress and don’t even get me started on the reception one you drove me so wild. The box I left you well these are my mother’s jewels I want you to have it because I know she’ll want the woman that I love and cherish to be wearing them. I’m giving them to you because no other woman deserves it more than you I love you. The last stop is where I am I can’t wait to see you
Liam
Gabriella can’t hold back her tears “Liam this is the most thoughtful gift you’ve ever given me this is so amazing” She takes a deep breath and fans herself “I’m gonna need a minute before I go see him” She takes another deep breath then heads to the limo. The limo stops in front of the Eiffel Tower and Gabriella grins before she eagerly heads to the top where Liam stands enjoying the view of the city.
He turns smiling “There’s my beautiful queen”
Gabriella jumps into his arms then kisses him deeply his arms tighten arounds her before she pulls away giggling “I can’t believe you doing all this sending all over just to get here you could have just told me to come here”
Liam chuckles “What’s the fun in that?”
“You’re always doing over the top things for me”
“If I had my way I broadcast to the world how much I love my wife but spoiling her with a million gifts that’s even better”
Gabriella grins “I love you too Liam you’re so amazing and I’m so happy to be with you”
“I love you more Gabby more than you can imagine more than you ever dream to me everyday is Valentine’s day with you” He kisses her deeply as the fireworks go off in the background
