Sorry if I asked this before, my app crashed when I pressed ask so I'm not sure if it sent. Did you know in the games files, Robin has dialogue for if you mention another love interest during sex: "So you're a cheater in more ways than one..." And minus love and confidence probably. It's sad and I'm glad it can't happen during normal gameplay because Robin has no NC scenes. I do like the implication that Robin just starts thinking about all the times the PC has cheated in video games when he finds out he's been cheated on tho
Or, you know, he knows...

Shushu Possessed Amalia Doodles
Can Yugo save Amalia (and the kingdom)? Or will she be lost forever to the power of the shushu?
This idea came to me as I was designing a dress for an AU Yugo x Amalia drawing (I'm still working on). I have 7 dress concepts for this drawing. However, this dress design was...🤔...sexy and domineering...and kind of felt a little evil (after I colored it black).
Thus SHUSHU AMALIA was born!
Shushu Amalia is the embodiment of dangerous plants. The tree horns growing from her head are a symbol of how much control the shushu has. Plus, they have a poisonous sap. Touch them and you're a goner.
All plant life Shushu Amalia creates is poisonous. And yes, even her clothes are poisonous too. so you can't touch her (with your bare hands).
Tumblr media
Her clothes are also based on poisonous plants and flowers. We have (from left to right) the…
Daffodil dress: Yellow petal collar and bra with a double split leaf dress (⭐ this is my favorite and the dress that started it all!)
Foxglove unitard: Fuchsia petal sleeve dark green romper with dark green thigh highs. (Her butts so big it makes the romper look like a unitard)
Deadly Nightshade pant set: Purple petal crop top with purple bellbottom floral pants. This style is kind of giving Megan the Stallion! Haha
Castor Bean skirt set: Castor Leaf top+ leaf skirt with red castor bean spikey earrings + thorn choker
I also drew an Uma Thurman inspired Poison Ivy outfit—which was a fun idea. I could see that as her battle outfit tbh. I also added a tiny redesign of her current outfit but with a poison ivy leaf belt.
I do have a dress based on Angel Trumpet (poisonous flower) but it's cute and I don't want to put evil Amalia in it. But then the irony of evil Amalia in a cute dress is also fun. It reminds me of evil people ironically wearing bright colors like white or pink. I might post the concept art when I finish my Yumalia drawing.
I tried to make her demon marks leaf-or-tree-like but went back and made it regular. I should have used a smaller brush for the leaf vein demon marking 🤦‍♀️
We also have a chibi shushu Amalia with an Aurora voodoo doll. she is about to impale her ☠️. The shushu is also not a fan of Aurora and her daddy.
I had fun with this. Thinking of outfits was challenging but fun! I love drawing revealing clothing—and it was fun dressing her up in sexy clothes to murder her enemies and manipulate minds.
I kinda wanted to put mushrooms on her feet as a sign that she is infected. But didn't...oh well. Instead, imagine she leaves behind deadly mushrooms as she walks.
She is my demonic plant queen. 💚😈💜

snippet #3 - the hero’s getting prepared for a ball
warning: touchy villain (not nsfw), suggestive
The hero felt overwhelmed by the number of hands on their body.
Their head was being pulled back and forth, over and over. Their hair was being tightly braided and brushed into a perfect slick bun. The hero opened their mouth as their lips were being painted blood red by the maids, as well as their nails. Small pearls, black and white delicate flowers with sharp thorns were sewn in their hair like the maids were creating an expensive bouquet.
“You're messing up your lipstick,” one of them said, yanking the hero’s chin and preparing their small brush once again, “Open up.”
The maid swiped over the hero’s lips until the spot was no longer visible. The hero hadn’t realized they were biting the skin.
The hero tried not to flinch when a maid started tightening their corset to an unbelievable degree. It felt like their ribs were being pressed against their organs, like walls were closing in from all ends. Another sharp tug at the corset made the hero gasp. They heard an annoyed sigh. They looked towards the sound and realized they clenched their hands in the maid’s who were painting their nails, messing up the paint job. The maid looked at them with clear malice they were not trying hard to suppress. The made wiped the smudged polish off to start over.
“I’m sorry,” the hero whispered.
They felt like they were messing everything up.
One maid tightened on a black lace choker with small pearls around their neck, pulling it so tight it felt like someone was wrapping their hand around the delicate skin as another maid slipped matching fingerless lace long gloves onto their arms.
After what felt like an eternity of chaos, the maids finally stepped back. The hero took in their appearance.
Their gown flowed to the floor with black and white lace hugging their curves in the right places, small but bold flower patterns all over the dress matching their accessories and hair. The plunging neckline went all the way down to the center of their chest, its edges covered in pearls, thorns and petals.
The maids all smiled at the hero’s regal appearance, but the hero couldn’t bring themselves to do the same.
They didn’t look like themselves anymore.
The hero flinched at the sound of the door opening.
They sucked in a breath as the villain entered. They were in a matching perfectly tailored black suit, their hands covered in black gloves, their gaze cutting through the room like a blade. They looked elegant and menacing all in one.
The hero gulped, keeping their head down as the villain made their way over, their steps echoing across the tension-filled silent room. The hero tried to suppress their growing nerves that started eating away at their body, needing their fingers together, picking at their exposed hangnails.
The maids frantically backed away from the hero. No. No. No. The hero tried to telepathically tell them to come back, not leave them so exposed in front of the tall dark god. The villain’s stare made the hero feel like they were stripping them down to nothing but their skin.
The hero's breath hitched as they felt the villain come right behind their body, their breath tickling their ear. The hero wanted to ignore them so badly, but that would be completely impossible. The villain was not to be ignored.
The hero finally lifted their head and flinched when they made direct eye contact with the villain’s glare in the mirror. The villain kept their hands in their pocket but it felt like their hands were caressing the hero’s waist, making them shiver and their heart beat erratically just from that look they were giving them. Like they could eat them for dinner.
Their voice commanded the room like the creature of power they were.
“Leave us.”
The hero rolled their lips and watched with beading eyes all the maids quickly scurrying out, keeping their heads down.
No. No. Please. Please stay. Don’t leave them alone.
As soon as the door shut the hero’s shoulders tightened with even more fear. The villain's hands came up to the hero’s waist, softly caressing the bodice of their corset. The hero flinched violently.
“You look exquisite,” the villain cooed in the hero’s ear, making them shiver, “But darling, why are you so upset?”
“I-I’m not..” the hero whispered in a tone that wasn’t even convincing to them.
The villain's hands tightened, causing a whimper to escape the hero’s mouth. They hated themselves for it.
“Now, I know my little hero,” they murmured, smiling against the hero’s neck, “I know when they’re not happy, and-“ they ran their hands higher and higher, “I know what their lies sound like.”
The hero made eye contact with them once again in the mirror, the villain's eyes pouring into theirs willing them to open up. After a few beats of silence, the villain dug their fingers ever so slightly. The hero’s heartbeat spiked at the villain’s warning.
“I just…” the hero blurted out, “Everything feels so… uncomfortable—But everyone put so much effort into how I look, and I do look good… but-I.. I feel so ungrateful saying that…I’m sorry,” they murmured looking back down at their feet.
They felt a tear trickle down their cheek. They felt like such a spoiled brat not being appreciative of the time and effort it took to make them look like a beautiful art piece. They are grateful, they just… didn’t feel happy.
The villain didn’t say anything for a moment. The hero made them angry. The villain was definitely going to-
But all they felt was the pressure on their scalp beginning to release.
They looked up at the mirror and saw the villain slowly taking all the intricate accessories out of their hair, making their head feel ten times lighter than before. The villain took out most of the flowers, and let the hero’s hair cascade down their back. It felt so good, so releasing, not having that weight. The hero couldn't have imagined wearing that hair all night, it ripping at their scalp.
“I wouldn’t want you to feel uncomfortable, my love,” the villain whispered as they began to take the tight braids out, “You look breathtaking with and without all of this.”
The hero hated how they blushed at the villain’s words, how they knew exactly what to say to make the hero feel all warm when the fear still clawed inside like a bouquet of knife-sharp icicles.
The villain delicately brushed the hero’s running tears away with their gloved finger. The hero couldn’t help but sigh in relief as the villain took a brush from the vanity and began to brush the hero’s hair out. The villain kissed the shell of their ear, making their hero whimper.
“You're a masterpiece, through and through.”
The villain smiled at their hero turning the color of their lipstick.
The villain began to massage their scalp with one hand and brush their hair out with another, making the hero sigh contently, their eyes closing from the pleasure. They let themselves sink into the feeling. It felt… so amazing. They wished it didn’t, they really did.
The villain slowly walked around the hero’s body, never letting go of their hair or scalp once. They watched in contentment as their hero’s eyes fluttered behind their eyelids in pleasure, not being able to resist submitting to the feelings the villain was giving them. They loved having that control over their hero. Their little plaything.
The villain took a small cloth from the vanity and began to wipe some of the hero’s makeup off. The hero’s eyes shot open in confusion, but the villain's one hand trailing down and massaging the knots in their neck made their eyes slowly close again. Their hero sighed in contentment.
The villain was completely obsessed with how their touch could turn their hero into a submissive thing at their feet. How they knew if they trailed their hand and tugged on their little choker that their hero would let out a moan they couldn’t suppress.
They knew them better than they knew themselves.
“I'll have to kill all the people who look past your neck,” the villain laughed. They wouldn’t hesitate to torture anyone for weeks on end who dared to look at their hero in a way that only they could. At the perfect skin that trailed down to their chest that the villain couldn't wait to taste.
The hero’s eyes slowly opened back up as they sighed, looking at the villain. But the hero’s worried face didn’t fade.
“What is it, darling?” the villain cooed.
“I-…”
The villain watched as their hero looked down in embarrassment, a faint rosy blush covering their cheeks.
”Can you undo my corset, just a bit..” they whispered, “It’s a bit too tight.”
The villain smiled. They loved the idea of undoing their hero’s corset.
“Of course I can.”
If they didn’t have a ball to attend, the villain would rip the whole thing off.
The villain tugged at the hero’s choker which, as they perfectly predicted, made their hero moan deliciously. That neck of theirs was so sensitive, they could barely hold themselves back from wrapping their hand around the skin and leaving their mark. They couldn’t wait to memorize every single sensitive place to touch to make their hero’s body writhe. The villain stepped back behind the hero and slowly undid their corset.
The hero didn’t know what to feel about the villain anymore.
They felt safe in their presence, protected and sheltered, but they also knew the villain’s power was something they abused. If they wanted to make the hero kneel for them, completely submit to them, they would. If they decided the hero was being ungrateful, then they were. If the villain wanted to hurt the hero, they could rip them in two with little to no effort. It scared them. But the villain has only been delicate, sweet, and soft with the hero and only the hero. Somehow, that scared them even more.
The hero gasped and their eyes closed at a sudden feeling, they curled their fists into the gown’s skirt. The villain's hand was gripping the hero’s waist as they pulled and pulled at the threads.
The hero’s heartbeat picked up. This felt different than the maids doing the same. The maids loosening and tightening their threads felt like life was being squeezed out of them, like they were a bug being squished between a shoe and the concrete. But when the villain did it… it felt like being wrapped in an all-consuming embrace. It felt like a word starting with L that the villain definitely cannot feel.
The villain’s hand pressed into their back causing the hero to involuntarily arch. Their fingers curled as they tried so hard to suppress their sounds, but the hero couldn’t help but let out another breathless small moan, their eyes clenching. They felt like they lost complete control of their body. It should make them feel scared, horrible, but they just wanted more.
The villain smiled at their reflection in the mirror. If only their hero knew what they looked like right now, their mouth open, their eyes closed. The sounds escaped them over and over. It was intoxicating.
The villain began to tighten the corset again, but this time leaving the hero enough room to somewhat breathe. As the hero’s breathing came back to a steady pace, the villain couldn’t help themselves.
They wanted to hear it all again, to give them an overwhelming sense of pleasure their little hero couldn’t help but submit to. And they wanted to feel it this time, even if they knew the consequences.
The villain ripped their black gloves off and tossed them aside. They wrapped both their arms around their hero, pressing them into their chest, curling them tight. The hero’s eyes shot open as their fingers flexed around their waist.
“Wha.. What are you doing?” the hero squeaked, their voice laced with confusion, panic.. and pleasure.
The villain simply pressed them more into their body. One of their hands came up to pull their choker aside, as their mouth latched onto the sensitive part of their hero’s neck.
The hero gasped. They squirmed in their grasp, at the villain’s lips, at their mouth that started to suck and mark all over.
”Wait!” the hero gasped, the sensations spreading through them, making them writhe. “Everyone will see!”
“That’s the plan, love.” the villain smirked, before going again. They couldn’t wait for all the onlookers to stare in shock. No one will dare touch what’s theirs.
The villain let one of their hands trail back up to the hero’s hair, swiftly tugging them to the side, rubbing their scalp again in a way they knew their hero loved. The hero immediately whimpered as the villain gave themselves more access to their neck.
The hero could feel the villain leaving nasty marks, ones every person at the ball would spot from a mile away. They shouldn’t have let that happen, but it was too late. They didn’t have enough strength to push the villain off, to rip their hand out of their hair, and they didn’t want to. It felt too good… everything was too much and they couldn't help but sink.
They couldn’t fight it anymore. The hero finally let themselves drown in the sea of pleasure.
They closed their eyes and wrapped their arms around the villain, letting their breathless sounds get louder and louder as the villain's mouth trailed from their neck to their collarbone, all the way down to the exposed skin near their chest.
The villain could feel their hero growing more and more into a pile at their feet, which just made them suck their skin even harder. Their hero almost screamed out when they bit into a sensitive part of their collarbone, then soothed the sting away with small delicate kisses.
The hero felt like the villain's hands were burning into them, but not in a way they hated, no, in a way they craved. They wanted it more and more, like a drug. They never felt anything better.
The villain picked up their hero, turned them around and pressed them into the vanity in a frenzy, both of them now breathing heavily and feeling like they just wanted more and more. They both felt so addicted.
The villain began to kiss the sensitive parts of the hero’s chest. The hero looked down at them in shock.
The villain was rendering their hero into a panting, moaning mess.
The villain sucked as their hand massaged their hero’s neck where all their marks now covered their skin. The hero threw their head back and practically screamed.
The villain looked up with pride at their hero’s eyes fluttering adorably, their mouth agape, their hair now a mess, their neck covered in a new red necklace. They loved how much they looked like theirs, and how everyone would soon see.
The villain continued their descent as the hero threaded their hand into the villain’s locks, not knowing if they wanted to keep them there or push them away. Everything felt so sensitive, heightened and feverish.
Their eyes locked for a second, and it made everything feel so much more intense. The hero cried out as the villain bit down gently, before sucking and kissing the pain away. They couldn’t think straight, it was like the villain had cast a spell on them.
The hero needed more, so much more.
The villain, feeling their hero growing impatient by their whines, tugged them close and finally pressed their lips to theirs.
They had thought of this moment for so long, what their hero would taste like, feel like. And they felt like the best thing in the whole world.
The villain coaxed their mouth open and it was like no kiss the hero had ever felt.
Would they even call that a kiss? They didn’t know. Kisses were comforting, sweet in the hero’s head, and this was far from that. It felt intoxicating in a way that humans were not supposed to feel. It felt so wrong, but so breathtaking in a way where they couldn’t stop themselves, they couldn’t. The hero moaned into their mouth as the villain made a mess of them over and over.
The hero frantically reached for the villain’s pants subconsciously, making the villain smile into their lips between their kisses.
They grabbed their hero’s hands, caressing their wrists trying to soothe their little love’s franticness, “Not now, darling.”
The hero only whined at them.
“Oh, you're a needy little thing, aren’t you?” they chuckled, looking at their hero’s disheveled out of breath state. The villain smiled. They turned them into a mess.
“As much as I would love to give your impatient body what it wants,” the villain smirked, making the hero heat up, “We have a ball to get to.”
The villain propped themselves back up, leaving the hero to lean back on the vanity still trying to catch their breath.
They… they didn’t-.. what..
“What was that?” they whispered. Their brain felt like it was still in pieces.
The villain simply tilted their head as they retrieved their gloves once more from the floor.
“I’m not usually… I don't-“, the hero said, their eyes becoming frantic. The villain needed to calm them down, they had a feeling this would happen.
The villain slowly approached their hero, their now gloved hands tucking a strand behind their ear.
“You shock yourself when you realize who you are when you let go.”
The hero looked up at them with the most adorable doe eyes filled with shock and confusion. The villain leaned in close, reveling in the way their hero’s breath hitched and their pupils went wide.
“You should do it more often,” they smirked. Their hero blushed immediately.
The villain couldn’t stop themselves from pressing a soft kiss to their lips.
The villain backed up and extended their hand, an open invitation. The hero looked at it cautiously but took the offer. Their skin felt warm and tingly against the leather.
But not like it tingled against the villain’s skin.
The hero felt more relaxed, the overwhelming anxiety from before seemed to have dissipated.
The villain tugged them along as the hero glanced in the mirror's direction.
They stopped in their tracks.
They looked… completely ruined.
Their hair had strands peaking out, their lipstick smudged, their cheeks so red you couldn’t even see the blush anymore. They looked so dirty, and they knew that everyone at the ball would think the same. They couldn’t leave like this. They couldn’t.
“I can’t wait for everyone to see you,” the villain murmured behind them.
“Like this?” the hero gulped. They spotted their lipstick smudged on the villain’s lips as well. It made their heart flutter in a way they hated.
“Exactly.”
The villain tugged them again, but the hero tried to stop them. The villain slowly turned to glare at them. It made the hero want to gulp down their words, but they didn’t this time.
“I can’t go down in front of people looking like—“
”Like what?” the villain said, their hand coming up to tug the hero’s hair. The hero’s anxiety came creeping back, the villain’s warning clear as day as their grip tightened against their hand and head.
“Like your mine?”
The hero’s heart started to pick up. The villains eyes pieced through them as their hands tightened once more making them whimper out of fear.
“That’s exactly what you should look like.”
The hero wanted to rip their naive little heart out.
They knew they should have listened to that voice in the back of their head. The one telling them that the villain never cared for them. The villain didn’t kiss them senselessly to make each other feel good. No. They only did it to make their appearances look.. well like this.
But the villain couldn’t be more satisfied with the taste of their hero’s lipstick on their mouth.
They spent years being utterly obsessed with someone those pesky royals wouldn’t let them have.
But the villain knew from the second they laid eyes on them that they already wanted to kiss them all over until they writhed. They already wanted to adorn their perfectly smooth skin with their marks, showing the world who they belonged to. They already wanted to devour them until the only thing left was a good little hero for them to play with.
They waited for the perfect time, in a small alleyway that day they decided they were going to keep the king and queen’s daughter all to themselves. The royal family was not happy, of course, but with their precious princess in the villains’ grasp, they were foolish to not obey the villain's demands.
Their hero was still terrified of the villain, kept their head down in their presence like one look would send them to hell. But their little pet was growing more and more perfect by the day, and soon they will be absolutely theirs.
The power coursing through the villain’s hands was something they didn’t use often on their hero, but when they did, it was completely worth it. It made the hero more compliant so to say.
The King and Queen will see tonight, at this very ball, looking up at the staircase in a matter of minutes exactly what the villain has turned their princess into.
The villain released the hero’s hair and pressed a soft kiss to the hero’s knuckles, before tugging them along.
Their hero shivered but still followed their villain.

Can I request Dg, Kwak jihan and Baek Hangyul reacting to the reader sending them a pic of them wearing a lingerie?
SNEAK PEEK 👀
Pairing: dg, kwak & Baek x f! Reader 💗
Summary: Where they receive the picture and what they’d do with it.
Warning: sexual theme, masturbating & fingering
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
DG/ JAMES LEE 💿
It’s no secret, your a very daring person. Always sending risky texts to your boyfriend even when he’s in a live stream.
Taking it up a notch sending him your newest lingerie he ordered for you: a pink one, with petal flowers printed on the bra, lacy panties and a choker with his idol mark. Sending 2 separate ones of you spread on the bed and one with just boob pictures.
Dg was now currently live-streaming and you were watching his live, a ping gets heard through the stream. He checks it quickly noticing it’s you and opens it, his eyes widen only for a second before he clears his throat.
You send him a small : “ see you soon dg 💗” in the live chat, as he’s reading it you catch his smirk for a second. Ofcourse the other streamers with him ask why all of a sudden his ears are red and he’s gripping the pen tightly almost breaking it.
You were such a tease and he loved it, oh how he did. He excuses his self from the live stream saying it’s urgent before he dissapears.
You get up quickly knowing he’ll be here in a few seconds, and as you guessed it the door flings open to dg standing there.
“Come here you, that’s not nice you know..”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
KWAK JIHAN 🪓
Kwak was talking to the elder man, about something you didn’t care much about. Growing impatient and feeling needy, you went to the bathroom excusing yourself.
Snapping him a picture of your lingerie underneath your clothing saying you’ll be in the bathroom when he’s done, what you didn’t expect is him to break open the door.
“Kwak? Here already, what about Elder-“
He sits down on the toilet’s top cover, taking off his belt and patting his lap. Hinting for you to come closer and so you do.
He rips off your clothing after you dressed back into them, eyeing your black lingerie licking your stomach up to your breasts. Leaving small hickeys on them, then forcing you to lay your stomach on his thighs plunging his fingers deep inside your hole without warning and closing your mouth by placing his palm on it.
Making a shush motion with his lips and finger, winking at you before moving his fingers deeper inside.
“Be quiet now, you don’t want them to find out do you? Ah , no I bet you do dirty woman..”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
BAEK HANGYUL 💉
Dating this busy surgeon didn’t make it better whenever you were horny and frustrated. So how would you make him still think of you?
You guessed it, snap him a dirty picture of your fingers in your panties and All while in your lingerie: a white one that had a small ribbon attached to the bra.
after receiving your dirty pictures, hangyul clenched his jaw and told Eugene he had urging matters to attend to easing Eugene worries that it wasn’t a sudden intruder at workers. Instead a very stubborn patient that needed some attention.
Going to the bathroom, his hands sneak down his pants and into his boxers, closing his eyes and stroking his self. He imagines how your fingers would not please you at the very least.
Increasing his speed and a few whimpers spill from his lips and he bites his lower one. His head thrown back and glasses falling off his face onto the floor.
“Aha , y/n ,y/n fuck fuck..! Just wait till I get back home..”
He sends you a picture of his hand leaking with cum and the title is: “ here’s a little thank you, I better find you spread on the bed when I come back.”

Eidolon art "blueprint"
I've been looking over Eidolons in Star Rail today and thought it'd be fun to try and figure out how exactly the art on them works (i.e. what is the principle behind it, what they have in common between different characters, that sort of stuff).
There will be 1 (ONE) 2.1 story spoiler in here, so beware!
I haven't seen anyone else discuss this, so I've taken it upon myself to write an essay on it! This is relatively small and based entirely on my observations of the art. Feel free to use this as a basis for designing eidolons for your OCs if you want.
There will be example(s) for each part to help visualise the point I'm making as well as descriptions for the ones I'll use (some of the descriptions are much more detailed than others).
Eidolon 1
Shows view of the character from the back 3/4th to the left, up to their shoulders.
Tumblr media
Eidolon 2
A close up of either of the character's eyes, showing off the details.
Tumblr media
Eidolon 3
The view is entirely unique: the perspective, pose, and focus of the composition is meant to showcase an aspect of the character's personality.
Examples:
● Dan Heng. Back view, focus on his earphones as well as the maple leaf in his hand;
● Silver Wolf. Front view, focus on the game console in her hands;
● Himeko. Front view, focus on her facial expression and the pen in her hand.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eidolon 4
Gives view of the character mostly from the front (either full-on or at an angle) or with them facing the camera in some way, up to their shoulders. Often has characters establish eye contact with the camera, but not necessary. Another showcase of their personality possibly might even represent how they interact with others.
Examples:
● March 7th. Back view with her head turned to look at the camera, making a peace sign. She's the only real outlier I've found so far, but it fits her personality fully;
● Aventurine. Front facing the camera, tipping (pulling down?) his hat and hiding one eye behind his hand as a result, obscuring his face;
● Bronya. Front, turned to the right, has a serious listening expression, one hand one her chest, closer to the heart. Perhaps a show of sincerity and dedication.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eidolon 5
A close-up of the character's neck/collarbone area (despite the popular belief, it doesn't actually focus on their chest). The angle varies, as does the amount of character's expression shown, but generally, most of it is obscured (even in fuller pictures).
Examples:
● Herta. 3/4th angle, focus on the key hanging from her choker. The only part of her expression we see is her typical smug little smile;
(This Herta is one of many puppet avatars so the key might be a play on that. She also has a keyhole on the front of her outfit, though they're different sizes. There's also a key on a book cover in her splash art. Another fun fact, her upgrade materials are "Keys" as she is one of the first Erudition characters)
● Dr. Ratio. Focus on the pendant/decoration on his collarbones (maybe the Intelligentsia Guild insignia?), he has that "lips in a thin line" sort of expression;
● Black Swan. Focus on the heart decoration on her collarbones (reference to the stained glass in her ultimate, which in itself, loosely, calls back to Fuli, the Remembrance). She has her slight enigmatic smile.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eidolon 6
Like E3, the view is entirely unique. The only consistent thing is that it ends at about the middle of a character's chest. The character is naked, showing them at their most vulnerable.
Examples:
● Misha. View from the side, his body turned in on itself as he hugs some sort of glowing orb. As a result, he's only illuminated at the points of contact. His expression is relaxed, but there's an interesting amount of seriousness in it, as if he's soothing/protecting the object;
● Sparkle. 3/4th to the left, has her hands up to her chest, one holding onto the other. A red string is tied into a four-petal flower shape around her pinkie finger, which sticks out from the rest of her fingers. Her expression is fully relaxed, her mouth is even slightly open, but the face paint is still on, and her hair is tied up;
● Acheron. View from the front, though her body is slightly turned to the left. She's in her self-annihilator state: hair white, the red thorn-like tattoos surround her lower neck and collarbones. There are red flowers outlined in white, either blooming on or flowing near her, some on her shoulders, some covering her left eye, others flying off. Interestingly, the flowers are placed loosely on a diagonal, bottom left to top right. Her expression is fully relaxed, mouth open slightly, and her hair is flowing to the side. That, paired with the flowers, makes it seem like there's a breeze passing by.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The conclusion I came to, upon finishing this analysis, is that Eidolons can be interpreted as the layers to characters' personality. With E1 being what anyone in the crowd could see – their back, no face, nothing to truly identify them by, and E6 is them at their most relaxed, most open point.

It wasn’t too big of a surprise when Miss Myra Beckett left her Papa’s tobacco farm following her twenty-fourth birthday. Mister Myron Beckett always said his daughter was an independent spirit, and her Mama — may God rest her soul — always said she was too much trouble to ever marry. Nowadays, Myra lives in New York with her closest companion, an up-and-coming artist called Rosetta Nelson. Postcards sent to the remaining Beckett children say that Myra acts now, and has found more solid employment in a library. They say that Rosetta is the best painter since those Italian men of the Renaissance, and that her unkind husband walked out on her, and that she and Myra have recently gotten a puppy together. Ain’t that something? Well, Mister Beckett says over tea, at least she’s not living with a man unmarried…
"maybe i'll use them for something else one day,"
i said, immediately falling in love with them. well. you know the drill, cc links and creator tags under the cut!

Hello, first of all I love your redesigns of the Winx Club. Second I was wondering what the medieval gowns would look like in your redesigns? Also could you please give us more info and examples of the traditional fashions of each planet please, personally I really want to know more about the Deliosian clothing!?
Gah you’re so sweet! Thank you! Amd I’m unsure which medieval gowns you’re talking about but feel free to send a picture so I can see what I think about them
And I may have gotten a little overzealous with this stuff so I’m just going to upload in chunks for each planet
We got Court Wear for Domino here as well as an example of more casual everyday wear most of the public wore
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’ve decided I’m going to be doing these as separate posts for each of them because I ended up doing waaaay more than I meant to for some of them
What’s on the pages in order for notes plus some additional info below!
Picture of Marion
Dominion Court Wear before The Fall:
Started appearing around the time Marion's grandfather ruled, mainly in the corset style and waist length. Drapery and larger poofs added next. Marion pushed for more modern trends and started making her own when she became more active in court, Earth age ~13.
Overall:
- More points and angles
- More gems
- Lower bust/neckline
- Sleeker silhouette
- Pattern work more shape based, cross stitching popular
- Larger poofs on sleeves with them ending mid arm or acting as the whole sleeve
- More upturned shoulder accents
- Lower waistline
- No arm bands to separate poofy part of sleeve from the rest of it
- More connected drapery
- Oval gems present
- Larger hairstyle and more half up half down looks
- Skirt length floor length and uniform
- Elevated heels for footwear
- Thread work less visible if not solely decorative
- Corsets more popular and more decorated
- Hip accents to exaggerate shape
- Wrap around adornment connected to corset, typically with a 3 circle motif
Picture of Hagen
More Pre Fall Wear
Style more associated with traditionally masculine appearances, but like all looks can be worn by anyone of any gender or lack of gender. Acted much more as a fusion of modern and traditional elements.
Main Staples:
- 2 piece set
- Slimmer shape
- Top ending around mid thigh
- Skin trousers visible
- Level shoulder adornments on what would be considered more traditionally masculine fits
Traditional Dominion Features:
- slimmer sleeves with decorated cuffs
- Embroidery lining sleeves
- Braids
- Longer facial hair and hair overall
- Jewel decorations holding caps
- Cape going to knees
Picture of Bloom
Traditional Dominion Fashion
For hair: up with a few pieces of hair down. Braid work, cloth pieces with gems worked into hair
For Clothes:
- shoulders pointed out, typically have line pattern embroidered into it
- gems typically in groups of 3
- Empire waistline
- Flared train on lower half with underskirts typically visible, high-low cut present, usually lined with pattern at the bottom
- Images used in pattern work
- Swirls with pointed lines
- Boots, low heels
- Delicate and intricate metal work on neck wear, typically chokers
- Upturned tip on boots
- Gems are circle or teardrop shape
- Smaller arm poofs
- Arm cuff higher up on upper arm for arm poof
- Sleeves are separate from the arm poof
- Multiple strips of loose cloth
Picture of Oritel
More Traditionally Masculine Elements for Traditional Dominion Fashion not already mentioned previously:
- Boxier shape
- Decorated arm cuffs
- Longer length arm cuffs
- More level headwear
General info on page:
- Shorter hair and beard more common among closer associated people during Marion’s court fashion
Medallion:
- worn commonly by the consort of Domino
- Used as a way to show acting as head of the main ruler of Domino
- Sent with Bloom to Earth during The Fall
- 3 points to represent power in all directions, petals to represent the flowers that grow in magic dense areas, stylized trees to represent the lush forest land Domino has
Picture of Daphne
Fusion:
- combo of traditional and Marion’s court style
- Very common for a lot of the higher class and mobility with less wealth
- Daphne’s preferred style for formal events and appearances, both pre and post-resurrection
Info on the necklace:
- a traditional neck adornment style
- Style from the very beginnings of Empire expansion
- Originally would hold gems of conquered cultures
- These gems started being returned and replaced with Dominion gems right before the fall as part of the effort for reparations on Domino’s part to start making up for its violent past
Picture of Bloom in 2 outfits:
These are some more common outfits for the people outside of the upper and noble classes. They tend to be more reminiscent of traditional Dominion wear since the newer stuff in Marion’s court wasn’t very practical for the usual day to day activities such as running errands, doing manual labor, and artisan crafts.
General rules that were mentioned earlier still apply, just typically with less elaborate pattern work and embroidery. Rarely any jewels in day to day wear. It’s more common for families to have a few gems that they share and fit into different pieces of metal work for more important events and holidays.
Notes on the page:
- corsets ending a little above the waist
- Embroidered patterns on clothes
- Peasant blouse style shirt popular
- Boots all year
Flame Acolytes:
- group that works with The Flame and are in constant worship of The Great Dragon
- Cloth all blue
- Dragon tattoos on both arms, wrapped around arm 3 times, head on palms with mouth open
- Gems are purple
- Stretched earlobes from jewelry, style varies (bonus: Saladin wears this style in honor of Domino’s passing to this day. He found it in the ruins of Domino on one of his visits back that he and others of The Company of Light as well as other scholars took to see of there was any way to salvage the people and the planet itself)
- For the dress, front and back pieces tied together on the sides
- Dress underneath it
- Shoes made of cloth, a style left over from older form of widespread foot coverings

so if you have yarn or crochet thread and a crochet hook. what you're gonna do is get those supplies a decent amt but it can also be odds n ends yah def dont need a whole skein. but yes so you have your supplies and now you're going to chain 2 then make a double crochet in the 1st chain. then chain 3. then you're going to make a double crochet cluster in the loop space made by the 2 chains and the double crochet you did first. so to do that you yarn over inset your hook into the space yarn over draw up a loop yarn over draw through two loops on hook yarn over insert hook back into same space yarn over draw up a loop yarn over draw through two loops on hook yarn over insert hook into same loop yarn over draw up a loop yarn over draw through two loops on hook yarn over draw through 4 loops on hook first cluster done. chain 3 make another cluster in the same space. chain 3 make another cluster in the same space. chain 3 make another cluster in the same space. chain 3 make another cluster in the same space. chain 3 slip stitch into the first chain from the chain 3 after the first cluster essentially forming a circle with a flower in the middle. *chain 3. double crochet in the 2nd/middle chain. chain 3. make 3 clusters each separated by 3 chains in the loop. chain 1. chain another 1 this time 'grabbing' the chain 1 separating the two flowers. chain 1. make 2 double crochet clusters separated by a chain 3. chain 3 and slip stitch to first chain in the chain 3 after the first cluster.* continue from * to * as many times as you want then just break your yarn and idk do what you want with your new creation! if you use like fine weight yarn you can make dangly earrings or a choker or an earring or anklet etc. if you use thicker yarn it can be a garland. you can experiment with adding more clusters/petals but i dont think you should add less. you can also switch colours for each flower which wld be tots rad! anyways yh hope you have fun with this

Blood Upon the Snow| Dagda (part 2)
✧▬ ▬▭▬ ▬▭▬ ▬▭▬ ▬▭▬ ▬▭▬ ▬▭▬ ▬✧
Tumblr media
Readers: female
Notes: man I reached the block limit again, be excited for part 3 yay, lets thank @fangirlingatstuff again for infecting me with the Epic fandom once again, and @majestichugs for waiting so long
Warnings: weapons, fighting, murder (throat slitting by thy enemy), blood, blood drinking mentions (by thy enemy), cursing, bro people really got beat up here
✧▬ ▬▭▬ ▬▭▬ ▬▭▬ ▬▭▬ ▬▭▬ ▬▭▬ ▬✧
Y/n was awoken the next morning, Nod shaking her.
"y/n! hey!" He argued.
"Mhm,"
"Don't mhm, me!" Nod complained; "There's a shit show happening!"
Finally, he got her to open her eyes, and his face of concern woke her up fully, castle works at the end of the bed waiting with things in their arms, "Nod, what's the problem-"
"Royals are showing up!"
"What!?"
"Come on! Get up!"
Y/n was quick to get out of bed, Nod handing her a cup of tea, "How long do I have?"
And down the tea went, she leans her head back as she chugged,
"Fashionably late? Fifteen Minutes? If you take any more than thirty you better, look good."
Y/n swallowed the last bit, handing the cup to Nod, "Stall for me?'
"Always do, Finn will be ready for you when you're dressed." Nod informed, quickly taking the cup away.
"Thank you!" Y/n called to him as he left, "Love you!"
"I know!"
Y/n rolled her eyes with a chuckle as her attention was quickly stolen, "Which one Princess?"
"What is the Queen wearing?'
"the usual,"
Y/n looked at the two, displeased with the bright color, "Get me the one that's white and green like hers, but with the lily petals and the moss shawl please, don't forget the fern choker and arm bands."
The ladies dropped their dresses almost; "Princess...that is..."
"Bold."
Y/n looked at them; "Really?"
"We love it!" They answered, "We'd like to add something to it if you'd allow it."
Y/n nodded "Of course, I trust your judgement,"
They nodded to one another; almost as if they read each other's minds, and one dragged her to her vanity, while the other rushed off to grab the clothing.
"If I may be so rude-"
"I live for rude," Y/n joked as the woman laughed and held a smile.
"Is there someone we're dressing up for? I am surprised you did not go for a long coat and a pair of pants,"
Y/n looked at the woman in the mirror who was doing her hair as quickly as she could; "I'm not sure,"
The woman gave a small smile as she pulled half of Y/n's hair up into a bun, carefully sticking delicate glass-blown hair decorations, a combination of flowers and plants, and to her request little bugs, spiders, centipedes, and bees.
Soon in came the woman from before with the dress and jewelry; in a hand, she held a delicately crafted dagger.
"Oh, my princess I'm certain you'll love this!"
"If you are to accept, you must go today," Ayana spoke, "the Celebration is tomorrow,"
Mandrake sighed, his brain had racked all night and well into the day, "Am I just to walk into Moonhaven?"
"I'm sure Dagda would,"
"That is not much help,"
Ayana picked up a bowl, "What is that?"
"The future," She answered picking up a gourd, carefully funneling whatever it was into it from its bowl.
"If you know the future you know my answer," Mandrake spoke, "and you know my concerns."
Ayana was silent; "But your answer still remains."
Mandrake was silent this time, he watched his sister work, till he growled, and rose to his feet, quick to leave, "Where are you going!?" She shouted sarcastically.
"Shut up!" He shouted back as she chuckled, oh, what a loving thing it is to have a brother.
From his sister's place to his castle, he hopped off his bird, guards standing attention quickly with salutes and bows of the head.
"My son, where is he?" Mandrake asked a guard.
"The library my king,"
Mandrake made his way along the dark halls and ashy walls, Dagda was indeed in the library, the librarian's son with him, stacks of books and scrolls in his hand.
"yes but the history goes much farther back than that," he informed, "it also depends on what information of our history we are exactly looking for,"
The son set the books on the table; "that would interest a wander," Dagda commented.
"A wander? Well, my Prince maybe the Walkers would be the most interesting,"
"The Child's story about plants that go between the kingdoms?"
"Children's tales are often told by Wanders, they tell of our history within a lesson,"
The two turned their head at the sound of Mandrake's voice.
"King Mandrake," The boy bowed.
"I need to speak to my son,"
"Of course,"
The librarian's son bowed his head once again and left quickly; "I'm busy-"
"Sure you are," Mandrake commented, looking at the sets of scrolls Dagda had help pulling from the Shelves; "I have never seen you in here,"
Mandrake looked at his fingertips, a thin layer of dust covering the causing him to rub them together to get rid of such dust.
"It piqued my interest,"
"Piqued your interest?" Mandrake commented, "or did Princess Y/n mention history?"
Dagda was silent; "Maybe,"
Mandrake could only chuckle; he remembered this library all too well; there was a bookshelf that was fake, and in there was a back room; with a single window, it most likely now filled with cobwebs and whatever lurks in the deep dark. He and Winslet use to take from the library and read together.
"I have been thinking about Princess Y/n's proposal," Mandrake commented.
"You have?" Dagda asked excitedly.
"We will agree to it," Mandrake answered, and before Dagda could get excited; "We will be cautious, it is not only Moonhaven we will have to worry about, we ride for Moonhaven before the end of the hour."
Dagda nodded, "You will not regret this!"
Mandrake watched him rush off, "Ah the youth,"
Mandrake turned his head, an old Boggin; he had been the Librarian since Mandrake was little; "Bookkeeper Garel,"
"I remember when you use to run in here with your little girlfriend," Garel laughed, coming to the scrolls on the table and grabbing a few, and shuffling to put them back.
"I will make Dagda clean up his mess,"
"Eh," Garel waved off the man; "make's my day go by faster, not to mention Lilith likes him,"
"you're son?"
"Grandson, practically my son," Garel responded, "I can't keep up with the boy, not like your son can."
Mandrake was silent before grabbing a few of the thicker books; going to help the old Bookkeeper; "I don't wish him to end up like I," Mandrake admitted.
"You are not happy with who you have become?" Garel questioned.
Mandrake was silent putting a book on the shelf, "Silence is my answer I see," Garel answered, "It is quite often the loudest one,"
Garel walked away to get more scrolls; "What do I do?'
"What is it you wish to do?"
"I wish to not turn into my Mother," Mandrake answered.
"Then you know what you must do," Garel advised.
Mandrake kept silent as the put the books and scrolls back, and like he promised, he left with his sister, son, and a platoon of troops, as every other kingdom would arrive with.
Y/n was still rushing to get ready when she heard horns from her open windows, she and her workers peeked their heads outside.
"Damn it..." Y/n cursed, watching the Northern Woods Kingdom arrive; Queen Euthalia walked beside her husband King Costanine their Shaman and General behind them; Atticus' parents and kingdom, there flag raised high, and pristine. Moonhaven's own people surrounded them on both sides respectfully celebrating their arrival.
"Do we know who's here yet?"
"The People of the Glaze are here, and so is Kingdom Noxis." One of the women answered.
Y/n grew silent, as they watched the Queen and King vanish into the castle entrance below.
"Come now we must hurry!" A woman advised the two to rush off as Y/n watched the window for a moment long.
"Princess," they called for her.
"Right-" she turned to join them in finishing getting ready, yet a dark horn and bells sang, catching her attention as she turned back towards her window, and looked out.
There they were, Wraithwood. Witch Ayana was veiled with moss and held fisted praying hands, Mandrake walked at the head, standing strong, staff in hand, and Dagda. Dagda walked on the opposite side of Ayana next to his father.
Y/n ran out onto her balcony. Moonhavener's cowardly in fear rather than rejoiced, Y/n leaned over her balcony, watching them make their kingdom known. Their flag was raised high and with pride, it had seen battle shown by the rips and tears and the ends.
"Quickly!" Y/n called to the woman rushing inside, "I must be quick."
The long and decorated table was set for tea, with Moonhaven's finest harvest of its fruits and honey. Tara's thrown room was decorated as it always was, flowers in turned and shining light down in the room.
"My Queen," Queen Euthina bowed, her husband doing the same.
"Queen Euthina, King Constantine." Queen Tara bowed Ronin besides her, "it is an honor,"
"Oh, please Queen Tara, we go through this every year." Queen Euthina chuckled Tara chuckled back, "We are the honored ones,"
"We do hope the arrival was safe."
"Very much so," Euthina smiled, "And we hope our son Atticus has been making a good impression."
Atticus walked up beside his mother; "An honor again Queen Tara."
"He has been a delight."
"General Ronin." The Northern Woods general spoke a handout.
"General Acker," Ronin spoke, shaking the man's hand.
"Sit please, we have all arrived," Queen Tara spoke; the other royals already sat; their general and shaman at one side, and the other is where their eldest stood, their eldest daughter sat next to them.
They took their seats; "Where is that lovely girl of yours? Y/n, isn't it?" Queen Misti questioned; the Queen of the People of the Glaze and Mother to Aalto and one other son Edur, who was off doing second born things; like not being at the arrival's tea party, with his sister Bayou, his sister Coral on the other hand forced to be at such a party.
"Princess Y/n will be down soon," Tara informed castle workers, pouring the new arrivals tea.
"I hope my son Jael hasn't stolen her heart," Queen Aeulla spoke, her husband, King Rowan beside her. She was Mother to five children; Jael her oldest son, Ather and Anil her younger boys, Anil was twined to the oldest sister Imberg and Alizee was the baby girl she had someone else taking care of.
"I could never do such a thing, not to such a delicate thing," Jael interrupted.
Ronin almost laughed and rolled his eyes; Y/n? Delicate? Yeah Right.
"I do hope a wedding will be in the fall," Queen Auella commented, "Perhaps even sooner?"
"We like surprises here in Moonhaven," Tara objected; "And Y/n loves to give them,"
There were laughing amongst the queens, but Guards running in interrupted them.
"Slow down," Tara tried to slow them, they panting heavily; "Deep breathes, what has happened?"
"Wraithwood..." A guard spoke; "Wraithwood is here!"
"Wraithwood?"
"Why is Wraithood here-"
"I need to get my people out of here! We are not at war!"
"You-"
"Enough!" Tara called to silence, and she received it; "There is...explanation to this-"
It was too late; the bell chimes were heard and in walked Boggin's; generals of each kingdom ready to unsheathe their weapons and defend their rulers. With ease they parted and stopped; and in came Mandrake with his son and sister. Mandrake's staff's end seemingly shook the ground every time it came down; the royals growing anxious with each step.
Then he stopped.
It fell silent.
Y/n rushed out of her room, Finn waiting for her on the opposite wall, he slouched, but quickly stood attention.
"Woah..."
Y/n smiled small as she stood there; "Too much?"
"You look beautiful," Finn complimented, Y/n chuckling, he held his arm out; "Shall we?"
Y/n wrapped an arm around him as they started their way; "Nervous at all?"
"No," Y/n answered, looking up at him; then nodded; "Just a bit,"
"How is your wound doing?"
Y/n touched her face, the stitches were cut out and replaced with sap to close up the wound.
"Good," Y/n answered, "it'll scar, but I'll be fine."
They walked down the steps, and down the hall, "You did good," Finn spoke, "Guarding your friend like that,"
"Oh, We're not...I..." Y/n tried to lie.
"My sister in arms was like you, she was a big believer in peace," Finn added.
"I'll have to meet her then," Y/n spoke.
"She taught me and Ronin everything we know,"
Y/n smiled as they reached the doors, "Thank you."
Finn looked down at her; "Makes me feel a little less alone in my own head."
She received a small smile from him; "Thank you then,"
"For what?"
"Making me feel a little less alone in my own head,"
Y/n chuckled; "it's rough up there,"
"I know that." Finn answered, "Now, Princess. Shall we?"
"We shall, second in command,"
He knocked on the door letting the guards know who it is before it was opened for the two of them.
"You're not welcomed here-"
Too involved in demands to make Wraithwood leave to hear the knocking, the heavy creak of the doors was the only thing to interrupt the group of Kings and Queens.
"Ah! So, the Princess decides to joy us!" Mandrake cheered; the sarcasm laced within his words was strong.
Y/n walked forward; letting go of Finn's guiding arm and stopped in front of the trio of Wraithwood.
"King of Wraithwood," Y/n bowed, Mandrake bowing in response, "I am honored you accepted my invitation."
She turned towards the witch; "Witch of Wraithwood." she bowed.
"Princess of Moonhaven," She bowed.
Then she turned towards Dagda, "Prince of Wraithwood."
He was frozen in his spot; he had never thought of Y/n wearing a dress, it was made of lily petals, two small fern accents on her waist, and a matching fern choker. To anyone who had eyes; and he had never been so glad he did, there was a silver dagger held into place with another longer fern on her thigh, dressed in elegance and ready to kill? She couldn't get any better.
Mandrake nudged his son hard, "Uh, Princess of Moonhaven," he bowed.
Y/n rose up and Dagda followed; she smiled at the three, and looked around, "This way please,"
They followed her, and Y/n showed them to the last empty seats; "Please, sit, may I take your staff for you?"
The royals looked at each other; Wraithwood had been invited. Mandrake denied her of his staff, and she was quick to pour them all tea, before taking her own seat, which Ronin was quick to pull out for her.
"I apologize for my late appearance."
"That is quite alright Princess," Atticus commented, Y/n's gaze shifting his way.
"You look very beautiful today Princess Y/n," Coral complimented.
"Thank you," Y/n smiled.
"Shall we discuss the season's plans then?" Tara spoke up.
"The same as last are they not?" King Constantine spoke up; "They never change."
"Perhaps we can discuss an upcoming event?" Queen Aeulla questioned.
"We are discussing the summer solstice already?" Y/n inquired.
"No," Tara told, "that is too far in advance."
"We were hoping on attending a wedding Princess of Moonhaven," Queen Euthalia commented.
"Who is getting married?" Queen Misti asked.
"I was hoping to discuss the sudden involvement of Wraithwood," King Rowan asked, "We have never needed them to keep the balance and yet we invited them now?"
"Wraithwood has kept their balance," Y/n defended.
King Rowan laughed, and Y/n's glance hardened into a glare; "What balance? The destruction of our kingdoms?"
"Everything we grow must die," Y/n answered.
"All of it?" Queen Misti inquired.
"At some points, how do you expect to feed the new?" Y/n told she received a hum in response; would she get someone on her side? So quick?
"I agree," Queen Misti spoke up; "The involvement of decay goes hand in hand with the state of water, decay is how most of our islands are made, I approve of the involvement of Wraithwood."
"Oh please," Aalto rolled his eyes.
"Watch it boy," Queen Misti argued.
"Any further questions you can direct them towards me, I invited Wraithwood," Y/n spoke.
"Well certainly we aren't giving them weapons for the games," King Rowan argued.
"I agree with Wraithwood rejoining," Queen Misti agreed, "but war has been strong between Wraithwood and Moonhaven, they should not be in the games this year,"
"King of Wraithwood?" Y/n asked, "Your opinion?"
"I am a guest, by your rule, I follow," Mandrake answered.
"Then it's no," Queen Aeulla snapped.
"By my rule." Y/n corrected, "Yet the answer is clear, Wraithwood will not compete."
Damn it.
"Going back to the season's plans," Tara spoke back up.
Y/n stayed silent the whole time, Dagda catching the corner of her eye occasionally; it only caused her to look away and drink from her cup of tea.
Well into the day they finished, younger kids were returned to the royals, and they walked out for the people to shout in their praise one set at a time.
Y/n and Wraithwood stayed back, "King Mandrake, please, excuse their rudeness-"
"Enough."
Y/n grew to silence, "I commend you on your boldness, both yesterday and today."
Y/n bowed her head, "I almost must thank you; my son may not be here without you." Mandrake thanked.
"We knew how it'd be before we accepted your invitation, we knew how'd it be after." Mandrake finalized, Y/n nodding.
"Thank you for coming." Y/n thanked.
"Thank you for taking the initiative," Ayana told.
Y/n nodded, looking at Dagda finally, "Will you stay for the night celebrations?"
It was clear she was trying to be neutral, yet the small and hopeful smile Y/n gave Dagda said it all; Will you be with me for the night?
"i-"
"Wraithwood!" was announced.
"that's your call..." Y/n spoke.
"yeah..."
A moment of silence, before Mandrake had to drag his son away. The crowd of people was silent, yet the Boggins cheered and Y/n from inside only smiled.
"Moonhaven!"
Cheers were louder in Moonhaven's name, Y/n, and Tara walking out side by side.
"We welcome the Spring Equinox united! And together!" Tara called to the people who only grew louder; by this time; people had come from other kingdoms, ready to celebrate and dance the days away, united.
It went from royal celebration to party below; groups naturally separated themselves, and Mandrake almost called his people home. Yet the way his son looked at Y/n convinced him to say otherwise. Thrones were down for the royals despite Y/n not truly wanting to sit in one and mingle amongst the people instead.
It gave her time to think, at least, she hadn't done a lot of that as of recent, it was just go, go, go. She looked over at Tara and Ronin, Tara sat polite and pretty as ever. It was in her nature to be caring. Ronin simply wanted to protect, yet the distance between the young royal's section and the older royals section felt larger than it was truly. When all was just a few chairs with a gap between the two creating a singular row.
Maybe she had pushed her ideas too much, yet she had never really pushed anything in her life. She followed each and every rule.
"Princess Y/n-"
Her focus was broken, and she blinked back into reality, "Nod, hey."
Nod smiled. He was dressed nicer than their usual attire, "If you're not too busy you wanna ya know..."
He pointed with a thumb behind him, past the crowds of people there was a man selling sweets.
"I could use a sweet." Y/n answered getting up to quickly follow her, Finn who was at her back stayed still, "I'll be back Finn."
He sent a smile and nod.
"Are you not supposed to go with her?" Jael asked.
"Princess Y/n is capable of handling a small walk to grab a sweet. Nod will protect her if anything is to happen." Finn answered.
"What useless guards." Aalto laughed, elbowing his brother Edur who only ended up rubbing his arm, "It's not like she needs another sweet in her life."
Finn wished he could have said something: really, Princes were on his lists of icks for sure.
"Didn't your parents teach you basic manners?"
Heads shot towards Dagda, "Oh. The rat speaks." Alto chuckled.
"Brother." Edur complained.
"Don't be a baby." Alto argued.
Eudr grew quiet he hugged his previously hit arm.
"Don't pick on him!" Aether spoke up on his behalf.
"Aether." Jael snapped.
"No wonder you went to war with us." Coral leaned over to Dagda, "Boys are idiots dont let them get to you-"
"Shut it, Coral!" Her brother argued.
"Suck on a bag of nuts!" She snapped back then turned back to Dagda, "I'm Coral."
Coral was young: barely twelve-years-old, and her feet didn't reach the floor as she sat on the throne.
"Dagda." He introduced.
She smiled, "Mandrake's your Dad, right?"
Dagda nodded, "What's your Shamans name?"
"She goes by the Witch title. She's my Aunt Ayana."
"Ooo! Cool!" Coral cheered, "Edur is our Shaman in training he's my second oldest brother. Do you have siblings?"
"No." Dagda answered.
"Oh." Coral spoke, racking her brain for another question: she went silent.
Dagda let his attention be stolen past the crowd, Y/n laughing as she and her friend were given a chunk of honeycomb candy, wrapped in a leaf. She leaned down and away from his line of sight and returned shortly with a child on her hip, boggin in origin, and split the candy with the child, the little girl happy as she ate her half, she setting the child back down to run off back to her family, letting Y/n return back to talking with Nod.
Dagda figured he'd have to get on Nod's good side; from where he sat, he could see the sibling-by-choice bond, from Aalto's and Jael's side, they could only see red they could not act upon. A commoner? With a Princess?
"Atticus can you believe this?"
Atticus was silent as he watched Y/n, "Atticus!"
He looked to the side, Aalto sitting there, "who does he think he is,"
"The maid boy?" Atticus questioned; "he's just that, dirt has more value than him."
"They're friends," Dagda spoke up.
"You know...whatever you really are," Aalto commented towards Dagda, "You certainly have an eye for the Princess,"
"Or he just knows how to treat people," Aether spoke up in Dagda's defense, "I wouldn't be surprised if she beats you up and marries him,"
Aalto only looked at Jael, before bursting out in full-blown laughter; Jael chuckling as he rubbed the back of his neck," What do you know of women? Child?"
"Leave him alone!" Eudr argued.
"I told you to shut it," Aalto ordered.
"Here we go," Imberg finally spoke up.
"Such idiots," her twin Anil mumbled.
Y/n stood with Nod, talking as they ate their candy; "So... I was thinking."
"Oh?" Y/n asked, "Is that a good idea?"
"Just hear me out," Nod spoke; "And I know it'll sound weird- like really weird,"
Y/n raised a brow, "What if you... hypothetically, didn't marry Prince Atticus."
Y/n paused, before breaking out into full blown laughter; "You think- I? me- I'm sorry I-"
She couldn't contain her laughter as she glanced back at him; and his face was full of hurt; "I just don't think you should be with someone like him-"
Y/n paused, "Nod, what are you talking about?"
"Y/n be serious," Nod told, "The flowers...the looks, he was in your room."
"Flowers? Looks?" Y/n questioned, "You're in my room, we've slept in the same bed before, we're brother and sister, we were raised that way-"
"Y/n he's a Prince, just say it already."
"Say what Nod?"
"Come on!" Nod argued, "You love him, you're leaving with him!"
Y/n looked at him almost offended, "Nod I don't know who told you what-"
"It's quite obvious, I'm barely a guard, he knows what's best for you-"
"Who said that to you!? Was it, Prince Atticus-"
"If not him, who are you leaving Moonhaven for-"
"Why does it matter-"
"Because I care about you!" he shouted, the argument starting to catch the attention of people around them; "I'm your brother Y/n! You think Ronin or Tara are the only ones that care about you!? You think I wasn't terrified when you were lost! Or scared when you took that sword to the face!"
"Nod please-" Y/n tried to calm him down placing a hand on his shoulder, the crowd around them dying down; "I'm not leaving Moonhaven-"
"Then what's going on with you? Do you need help? Are you leaving?!" he asked desperately, their conversation had died down, "Y/n please."
Y/n looked at him and shook her head. What was she meant to say? She was in love? With the enemy's son no less?
"I." Y/n started, the hope in his eyes: "I should go back."
"y/n-" he called, grabbing her wrist and pulling her closer to beg in a quieter voice, his hands coming to wrap around her hand, "Y/n, please, I cannot lose another person I love- What happens when you go? Do I just lose you? never to see you again? I just- don't know- I'm scared, please. Just tell me what's happening,"
Nod never pleaded, never like this; she looked down at his hands; how had she dug herself into such a hole? She looked from his hands up back at him; her eyes mirrored his, heartbreak; the sadness of being alone.
"I'm in love..." She answered him finally holding eye contact with him, Nod could crumble right there; he was right; hearing it was almost like rubbing salt into a wound, "...I... know you wouldn't agree...I know Ronin or Tara wouldn't...I- Well I-."
"Who is it-"
"Nod-" Y/n started; "Please don't-"
"Tell me he'll at least take care of you when your sick- when you're in your own little world and need time to come out of it-" Nod continued; "he'll be there for you."
"Nod he can't be there for me," Y/n answered.
Nod held an offended look; "And you expect anyone to just be okay with you going off-"
She was growing angry; the tendency to snap seemed viable more than ever, "He can't be here because we're in war," Y/n argued.
"Y/n-"
"I'm in love with Prince Dagda," Y/n finally snapped, and he dropped her hand, his eyes widened in surprise and confusion.
"Y/n-"
"I have to get back." She told him.
"Y/n please- just wait-"
Yet she pulled away for a final time and weaved her way through people.
"Y/n-"
Yet she was gone and through the crowd. Making her way back to her spot beside the other royal children.
"He'll do nicely..." Atticus spoke, watching Y/n storm off, and Nod's failed attempt to follow her.
"What?" Jael questioned.
"Hm?" Atticus hummed, looking towards the older teen.
"What did you say?" Jael asked.
"Oh nothing, thinking about a book I read is all," Atticus answered with a lazily warm smile, watching Y/n return to her throne to take a seat.
"You look stunning Princess Y/n," Jael complimented her, "I was hoping perhaps, now that you've returned from the floor, we could dance,"
"No," Y/n answered, her tone flat, and her mind somewhere else, yet it quickly changed; "You know the rules, dear Prince Jael."
"Ah." Jael answered then laughed; "How could I forget,"
Jael raised from his feet, making his way down the steps to turn sharply and walk along the bottom one, re-walking them, he kneeled in front of Tara.
"He's asking the queen if Y/ns allowed to dance with him," Coral informed Dagda, "A prince has to ask her to dance before anyone else can,"
"Her friend took her," Dagda commented.
"Yeah, but that's to eat it's different," Coral told him, "Plus everyone knows that's practically her brother, see Tara's the easy one, it's Ronin Jael has to get past, even if he gets past Ronin- which I doubt, he'll have to get passed Finn as well, her guard,"
Dagda looked over and up at the man standing to the side and behind Y/n's throne, he leaned down and whispered to her, he had been there the whole time in silence.
"And even if he gets past Tara, Ronin, and Finn, Y/n still has to agree," Coral told him.
"Seems like a lot,"
"Well, if you're really in love with a girl it's a real beautiful thing; takes a lot of guts," Coral informed.
Dagda watched as young men started to line up behind Jael. Jael gave his introduction; the perfect bow, the respectable attitude, the sweet smile, and there it was he was through, and off to stand in front of Y/n on a knee, hand out ready for her to respond.
Yet Y/n only stared off into space, watching beyond the crowd.
"Are you alright Ms. Y/n?" Imbreg's questioned, it breaking Y/n's stare into space.
"hm?'
"Are you alright?" Imbreg repeated.
"Fine...I'm...fine." Y/n answered, unsure of the answer herself.
Y/n just left Jael sitting there, no response and not a glance his way. But she felt eyes on her and finally she looked down.
"Prince Jael. Apologies, but...I do not feel the best right now." Y/n answered him: "Please forgive me."
"Not even a small waltz-"
"She said No."
Heads shot just one seat down, Dagda was there: with small Coral to back him up.
"Back off." Dagda ordered.
"And what are you gonna do about it?" Jael spoke, rising to his feet.
Finn stepped between Jael and Y/n's seat: "Return to your seat. Immediately."
"I wouldn't be surprised if it was the Boggin boy that slashed your face in!" Jael snapped loudly.
It caught attention: King's and Queen's looking there way.
"I said return to your seat." Finn ordered again, "or I will put you there myself."
"Under what authority?" Jael argued back.
"Mine." Y/n deemed, standing up, she wasn't in the mood for this, not right now, she guiding Finn to the side.
"Take a seat and stop being such a fuckin cry baby!-" Y/n ordered, the music stopped and so did everyone mingling and dancing.
"Y/n-" Tara got up, quick to diffuse the situation.
"Get this straight! Royal or not! I am not some bitch you can fuck around with! I am not some whore you can dog on!!" Y/n's voice boomed. She walked towards Jael as he started to back up. He almost slipped on a step as she pushed more and more into his personal space: "My family- My people come first! I know how you talk to my guards! How you treat my castle workers! And I know how you talk about me! So get this straight fucker! I am Princess of Moonhaven! I will do anything to keep my people happy and healthy! And I will not have some foreign cock sucker disrespect my guest or my people! So get your head out your ass, get back in your seat, and learn some fucking manners!"
Jael finally slipped at the last step, falling back as Y/n glared down at him.
"y/n that is enough!" Tara ordered grabbing her arm.
Y/n looked back at Tara the glare still hard on her face; she scoffed and pulled her arm away before storming off. Finn was quick to follow her and Ronin was quick to join him.
"Princess Y/n!" Ronin shouted after her.
Tara looked towards other Leafmen; "Go help Ronin, don't lose sight of her please,"
The woman nodded and a few more Leaf Men followed her in support.
"What a great relationship you have with your daughter," Mandrake spoke up; Tara looked back to glare at him; "Have I struck a nerve?"
"Get my son up, would you?" King Rowan asked his personal guard, who only left in glaring at Prince Jael, "he owes Moonhaven an apology."
Dagda took the chance of confusion amongst the crowds and the disappointment of the royals slip away to follow Y/n. He followed far enough behind searching guards to not draw any attention; and was able to hide with the help of the darkening sky, the sun was setting, and the moon would rise soon. Yet what was his advantage ended up being his disadvantage; he didn't know Moonhaven like the back of his hand; he didn't know anything about Moonhaven, but he knew Y/n.
She had gone over the border by mistake; messing around with her friend, yet she returned to cross the border; trying to leave Moonhaven behind just for a moment to experience a new world. Dagda figured to get away from her own once again she'd run to his.
And she did.
She was quick to cross the border; slide in the mud down a hill and was quick to hide under the cliff, back against the rock wall.
"y/n!" Ronin called out for her, "Y/n please!"
Y/n stayed silent; Ronin was right above her; "Y/n!"
Yet another leaf man called his name; ushering him a different way; and he ran away quickly in hopes that they found her.
She waited a moment before moving. Dagda crossed the border; the mud from last night's rainstorm was still present. And in it, he spotted tracks and was quick to follow them. He found her easier than he assumed; her tracks were fresh after all, and the mud that covered her dress still could block out the bright against the dark that Wraithwood was.
He pushed past the bushes seeing her through the branches and ended up at the other end, yet she was gone.
"Y/n?" he called for her softly, yet he was taken to the ground, a dagger put to his throat.
"It's me!" Dagda surrendered, looking up at Y/n who had wide eyes, and a snarl on her face, her dagger once on her thigh high into the air, yet her expression dropped and with it her silver dagger, "It's just me..."
"I...I-" Y/n spoke quickly getting off him; he quick to sit up as she started pacing; "I'm such a fucking idiot!"
"Y/n-"
"I should of just said yes! Get it out of the way!-"
"You said no, it's as simple as that," Dagda defended her, her white dress ends dragging in the mud.
"I should have just sat there, and said nothing," Y/n told him, turning back around and walking the other way; "Ronin won't look at me! Nod's mad at me! Tara, Tara's so disappointed in me I might as well as of killed a man! The one time I push my views! Everything goes south!"
"Y/n," Dagda called, turning to look at him he grabbed her arms carefully; he worried for her and it truly showed; "You didn't do anything wrong- You got my father to stop fighting and come to Moonhaven in peace. You're stopping a war."
"I feel like I'm just hurting more and more people," Y/n told him; "No one will stand with me, I don't know what to do-"
"I stand with you," Dagda told. His grip on her arms tightened the slightest in reassurance, "Always."
"If I involve you, anybody- somebody- I won't let somebody get hurt-" Y/n told him,
"You are somebody," Dagda pleaded with her, "You're somebody to me."
There was a slight perk in Y/n's form; "I." He started.
Y/n's eyes widened the slightest, anticipation quickly building in her; I what? I hate you. I'll help you. I believe in you. I love-
"I care." He paused in the middle of his sentence, "About you... a lot...I don't know what to do about it..."
Y/n pulled her arms from his grasp, he letting go; he scared her off- yet she took his hands instead, her hands were cold.
"I care about you too," Y/n answered.
Dagda gave her a nervous smile that looked goofy more than anything else causing her to chuckle shortly and smile back. In his eyes and heart her smile could make snow melt, and could convince any person no matter age, or status. Not to mention she was strong, mentally and physically; she could take a beating and could keep her morals and her standards, and she wasn't afraid to speak her mind. His thoughts were shifted as a breeze picked up, and Y/n's grip on his hands tightened.
"You're cold," He spoke, pulling away from her hands to take his rat coat off to give to her.
"You'll be cold."
"I know where some are stuffed around here," Dagda answered, he taking her hand and leading her along the way.
Finn watched from his spot on the tree branch, bow in hand, arrow knocked, yet he was relaxed, an arrow pointing down in no ill matter.
He followed.
Tracking the couple from up high was easier than ground tracking them. He hopped from one branch to another, keeping close eyes on the two. Through the dark Dagda navigated them until they come upon a tree; it was half dead and partially knocked over leaning against another tree that stood strong.
Y/n followed him in willingly; they entered from the bottom of the tree; the entrance hidden by the roots. Dagda's own little hideout as Y/n presumed, a workstation, filled with half-made arrows, and the act of bracing left discarded halfway through, and bow silencers, little fluffy balls made from fur sat on his desk; it looks like he had made an abundance of them. Y/n plucked one from its spot on the wooden table; perhaps it was rats' fur? Maybe squirrel tail? -
Wood scrapped against the floor and crashed against each other; Y/n turned her head to see the source of the commotion; Dagda trying to set up a small little table; with two chairs.
"I-" Dagda was quick to make up an excuse.
"I was just getting tired thanks," Y/n quickly saved him, she smiling at him softly; "You'll sit with me?"
"Yeah! -" He answered quickly but toned it down, "... yeah...I will.."
Y/n walked her way over and took a careful seat, the fur end coming to wrap around her midsection and arms; she didn't want to sit on it. She crossed her legs; the slit showing her leg off as she hummed. There was a nice warmth to Dagda's little hiding spot.
"This your hide out?" Y/n asked.
"In a way." Dagda answered her, a new coat on him, a bit more worn than Y/n's but in good use.
They matched.
Y/n rubbed up and down her arm: "I'm sorry that...it didnt go as planned."
A cup was placed in front of her; she looked down at the cup, whatever Dagda said went over her head, not making it to her ears.
Had she seen this cup somewhere?
"Y/n?'
"Huh?" Y/n spoke up, looking his way, "sorry...I... just feel like I've seen this somewhere..."
Picking it up, she looked at the simple yet elegant pattern, and it was the pattern rather than the cup. She found it out that it was in a circle as well.
"You know it looks like it's meant to be on a fancy key almost." Y/n commented.
She paused.
Key....A key
"Where'd you get them?" Y/n changed the subject.
"Uh..." Dagda spoke, "This place use to be my dad's hole when he was younger. He never came back after my mother died. Must be from her."
"Sorry." Y/n was quick to apologize, "didn't mean to bring up bad memories..."
She set the cup down and as soon as she did Dagda was filling it carefully. It becoming quiet between the two.
"Don't worry about it," He finally spoke up; Y/n looked down at the steaming cup of tea and looked over to the cup being filled.
Dagda caught sight of it; she intently watched him as he filled his cup. His first thought was she wanted his instead and was quick to attempt to switch them.
"It's better the farther you go down," was his reasoning.
"Oh," Y/n spoke, she figured her staring had made him uncomfortable; "thanks... I haven't had any bundles from Wraithwood,"
Dagda nodded as Y/n was silent, it bothered the air around them, and it bother Dagda most of all, he didn't really know how to ask her either.
He sat down on a chair, just to the right of her, she looked down at the liquid. Maybe he should just do it? Ask what's wrong? He didn't want to bother her; she was the question asker after all; always has been it's how their relationship started. He had always been the answer; the one to inform her; and explain Wraithwood.
"You...okay?" He asked awkwardly as she looked his way shortly.
"Long day...sorry..." Y/n answered, tired.
"You can stay the night," Dagda offered.
"I-" Y/n started, her hands started to talk for her, and her eye's darted around; "Stay the night- I- I couldn't..."
Dagda cursed mentally; he made her nervous- she talking like she had when she handed him bread; he liked it sure; but he realized how frantic she had really become; "You don't have to-"
"I mean yes!" Y/n answered quickly; "Sorry- I mean- well I would like to wish you would be a dream- That sound's weird! I didn't mean it like that."
"Like what?" Dagda asked; "Sounds like you're being nice."
"Well- yes, but- I- Prince Atticus was in my room the other night- and Nod already thinks I'm- It wasn't like that I swear- I just-" Y/n finally groaned in annoyance, her own words against her and her head fell into her hands, she balling up in the chair, legs coming up to her chest, the two slits in the dress allowing so.
Dagda looked away, "He...sounds worried..."
"Nod?" Y/n asked muffled.
"Y.Yeah..." Dagda answered.
"I know he is..." Y/n told him, "I. Just never thought he'd..."
Y/n couldn't finish her sentence, "He'd?" Dagda asked.
"Have so much... anxiety about it." Y/n answered turning her head, so her cheek rested on her knee, and she looked Dagda's way; " I never thought he'd think I'd leave him like that either...it. just hurts."
She closed her eyes, "Maybe just take drink some tea, and take a rest before going back," Dagda recommended.
Y/n was still, eyes still closed in thought, and she ultimately nodded, agreeing with the idea.
Finn watched carefully through the open end, the uprooted roots helping him blend in. He was ready to shoot if needed; to swoop in and save Y/n. Yet he waited; watched her feet return to the floor and a cup of tea come into her hand for a sip.
Finn's verdict? She'd be safe here, respected, and heard. Something he believed she wouldn't be exactly if she went back to Moonhaven; even diamonds can crack under pressure, hit it enough times, and in the right spot it would crack and splinter like dried leaves you'd walk on in the fall.
Yet before he could turn around to retreat, he was gone; none of his personal belongings were left in his wake- yet a loud crack from a root he attempted to grab; and ultimately failed.
Y/n was quick to get up at the sound, Dagda following her; results of their training; never take anything lightly.
They looked at each other before Dagda grabbed his bow, and Y/n grabbed the knife Dagda had sitting on the counter. He kept her behind him; yet his hand held her wrist tightly in worried taste; she grasped for his hand which was opted for in the end.
"I've got your back," Y/n told him softly.
They were truly ready to jump anyone who was outside that doorway; yet when they turned the corner ready to strike no one was there.
They stood in silence; till Y/n's laughter was horribly hidden; she ended in a loud laughing fit. Dagda turned his head as Y/n tried to cover her mouth, yet the laughing continued.
"You-" Before he could even finish, she had her arms around him; her chin resting on his shoulder as she laughed happily; "You have a knife be careful-"
Yet her laughter filled his ears; "I would have loved to see our scared faces! Imagine how crazy we looked! All for a broken twig!"
He held onto her forearm as they rested near his collarbone, her laughter died down after some time- a laugh well needed; and she smiled.
"Thanks, Dagda." She cheered, hugging him tighter.
"Y.Yeah," He spoke, he turning to look at her smiling face: yet she froze just as well.
Too close, and sleeping over?
"Sorry! -" y/n quickly apologized, pulling away, "sorry-"
"No! No! You're... okay..." Dagda told her, she setting the knife back away.
"I... I should go..." Y/n spoke, setting the knife back down on the counter, "Thanks. Again- I really appreciate it."
"I can take you back," Dagda was quick to offer, "If you want,"
Y/n crossed her arms; bringing the rat skin cloak closer in on herself "Yeah, that'd be nice, thanks."
As promised; Dagda returned her home, A short ride seemed shorter as she wrapped her arms around his waist; and sat behind him on his bir, she comfortably pressed against him to even their weight. She was returned to the castle front; where the part had died; and the Queen had been; giving orders on where to search next; and given ear report on the findings: Nothing. The other Queens and Kings surrounded Tara in aid.
"Your child's missing!" King Rowan snapped; "He probably stole the princess after she ran off-"
"I have not been stolen," Y/n argued as Dagda landed the bird; he got off and helped Y/n off soon after, his hand catching Her's in assistance.
Oh, what he'd do to hold her hand for a moment longer.
"Thank you," Y/n spoke looking toward him.
He only nodded and let her hand leave his as she walked forward; he came to walk beside her.
"Y/n!" Tara shouted; quickly rushing down the set of steps with Ronin not too far behind.
Y/n's face was quickly grabbed; Tara inspected her face and neck; Are you alright? Did you get hurt!? Where did you run off to? -"
Tara paused and looked at what she was wearing; "What are you wearing?"
"Oh- I-" Y/n pulled away starting to pull it off; folding it over her arm; "Dagda- Prince Dagda found me cold...he was kind of enough to give me his cloak..."
She handed it back to him; "Thanks-"
"You keep it," Dagda told her; he could quickly feel eyes on him; "It's a cold spring this year..."
"Princess Y/n has plenty of-"
"Thanks," Y/n was quick to cut Ronin off, she pulled the folded cloak into her chest, "I appreciate it."
Dagda nodded before she was dragged off by Tara, Ronin following behind.
"Goodnight Moonhaven!" Dagda shouted towards Y/n's retreating form.
She turned around and stopped despite Tara and Ronin's protest.
"Goodnight, Wraithwood!" Y/n called back, finishing it off with a loving smile before she was dragged off once again.
Could Dagda fall in love anymore? Yes, and he did. Despite the side eyes, eyerolls, looks of disgust by the other royals: "does he really think she'd go for him", he only stared at where her retreating form once was, in his mind: she stood there still, smiling back at him, holding the cloak he handed her close.
"Dagda!"
"Huh?"
His father was already on the move and so what his aunt the other royals gone: "We are leaving."
Y/n stood in the window: watching the leaders of Wraithwood leave Moonhaven
"Y/n!" Tara snapped, "Are you even listening!"
"Yes, Queen Tara." Y/n answered softly.
"Then explain yourself!" Tara ordered.
Y/n stood in silence.
"Y/n!"
The silence grew heavy, and Tara grew in anger.
"Do you have no idea what you've just done!" Tara shouted, "You embarrassed everyone! You're people! Me! Ronin! You've embarrassed yourself."
Y/n was quiet; arms crossed; and mind somewhere else.
"Hello!?" Tara shouted, "Y/n!"
"I hear you." was her only answer, Tara could only walk off; worrying if she said anything further, she'd go off the rail in anger.
Ronin stayed behind, she had figured he followed Tara, try and clam her down. She wiped her face.
"Y/n-"
She looked back shortly, "yeah. yeah?" she tried to speak with a steady voice.
"I'm fine."
"I'll...go see how-" Yet before he could finish his sentence, Y/n sprinted into his chest, his body rocking with the impact, she hugging him tightly.
"I don't know what to do!" she cried into his armored chest, his arms hovered as she squeezed him tighter, finally them came to rest on her upper back with the other set above it, hugging her back; "I'm worried about Nod. and. And the kingdom! and-"
She couldn't finish her sentence before her heavy crying continued, he holding her the whole time; his hand moved into her hair, and he kissed her head. She quite literally cried herself to sleep, he holding her leaning body up before quickly putting an arm behind her knees and letting her upper half drop into his other arm and picking her up bridal style and bringing her over to the bed to sleep. He wiped her face the best he could before getting up to grab a change of clothes for her.
Ronin remembered it being easier when she was younger; and awake, when she used to dress in the cute pink gowns made from rose petals, either it be for night or day she always showed him; proud of her pretty dresses. Now it seemed Y/n owed just two dresses, the one Ronin had in hand, and an old coronation dress that she wouldn't even fit anymore; everything else a few pairs of pants, shirts, and coats, she was dressing like a leaf man now. He tucked her in; he hadn't done that in a while either. He ran a thumb over her cheek, her nose pointed towards him giving a full view of the scar he had put there, with his own two hands, it divided her face diagonally, an accident he could never forgive himself for. He leaned over; kissing her forehead where the new scar ended.
"I love you," Ronin whispered to her before placing a second kiss on the same spot, and getting up, he going to check on Nod, hoping it would give her some solace that someone heard her.
The barracks were full of the day shift. Solider and Guards slept, Nod had a hard time sleeping, he rolling from one side to another, he sighed, he told himself just close his eyes, burry them into the pillow in he has to. His back faced the open window that sat between him and another soldier's bunk.
Between the bunks stood Atticus, a sharp dagger in his hand. His eyes heavy and dark despite their unnatural fire color. He had the sweats, and at any moment he could start panting like a dog in need of water as drool came out the sides of his mouth and dribbled down his chin. His canines'-true fangs.
Then it started: his thirst for water grew and the panting grew to Nod's ears, his eyes opened yet his body didn't turn. His ears perhaps playing tricks on him? He shifted slightly to turn yet the sound of a bone snapping paused him, one after another: snap, pop and crunch.
If you're still enough, a monster under the best can't see you. Tara told the two children, Nod and Y/n wrapped up in a blanket together scared of the wind outside the room.
With his wide eyes, he slowly lifted a hand to cover his mouth of any sound.
Thump
Was it gone?
He heard a door open to the barracks and a soft call of his name.
"Nod? You in here?" Y/n called to him softly.
He was quick to shoot up and shout for her to run but his mouth was grabbed by a rough hand and a dagger to his throat. The door across the room was shut and Y/n wasn't there.
It's still in here with him.
His eyes turned towards the figure: it blocked out the moonlight, a woman, older, covered over the eyes and forehead with webbed fungus. Her eyes visible through the different sized webbed holes.
He took in a sharp breath as his eyes were filled with fear: even a sharp breath seemed too loud as nails were dug into his cheek causing his eyes to water.
The door to the barracks opened: another guard coming to rest perhaps.
A glass of water broke in the distance, the two guards looking over to where Nod's bed was; yet the window was open, and no one was there.
"Stop tryin' to scare me!" One of the men argued silently pushing his friend.
"I'm your boyfriend, not an asshole." The second argued, "We're just tired."
The door opened behind them, and one grabbed onto the other as they shot around.
"Ah...Commander, did the Princess get back safe?" They asked.
"She's in her room," Ronin informed.
"That's good, can we help you?"
"I'm looking for Nod."
They looked towards his bed across the way; "He's not in here sir," the second answered.
Ronin sighed; "Get some rest, we need to be on high alert tomorrow."
"Yes sir."
"Goodnight sir."
Ronin closed the door behind him as he left.
"You are pacing again." Mandrake sighed; he poured tea for his sister.
Dagda was silent, "Dagda!"
"What?" He asked not bothering to look over.
"You're pacing. Again." Mandrake spoke, watching his son go back and forth.
"He smells of her." His aunt spoke up.
"I do not!" Dagda argued.
"Sure, and you didn't invite her to stay the night?" Ayana questioned.
"You did what?" Mandrake argued.
"I didn't!"
"Liar," Ayana spoke.
Dagda growled at her; "She was in distress! I offered to help her!"
"Is that why you've been holding an oddly shiny dagger in your sheath?" Ayana questioned; "It's her's, clearly, it was on her thigh-"
"Would you shut up?" Mandrake asked, the spew of information irritating him.
"What if she's in danger?" Dagda asked.
"From what? Ronin? Please the queen would have his head on a pyke." Mandrake told.
"Getting in trouble is a child's duty to a parent," Ayana explained.
"And those. those-" Dagda started to argue; "Those princes! they have no respect for her!"
"Oh please, like they'll ever pull the stunt again," Ayana reassured; "Y/n made sure of that."
"I should go see her, make sure she's okay," Dagda tried to convince.
"That won't do anything but anger Ronin and Tara, and truth be told I'm more afraid of Tara than of Ronin," Mandrake spoke.
"What do I do?" Dagda asked, "Sit here? And what? let it happen?"
"That is exactly what you do," Mandrake answered.
"No," Ayana cut in; "You may have all the time in the world in your eyes till you see the Princess again; but in response, you must make something to woo her, trust the princes have already attempted to swoon her with lavish gifts. You have her yes it's quite telling; yet she has gifted you a few things, like today."
"Today?" Dagda asked.
Ayana sighed; "The dress nephew...it was stunning was it not?"
Dagda nodded; not even having to think; "The dress was both for you and her, she meant to catch your eye, and she did, especially with the dagger on her thigh."
"I-" Dagda started, "I didn't know-"
"Dagda we both have eyes." Ayana cut in, causing him to sigh.
"Yes. She was... beautiful."
"The dress in that aspect shows her interest in you; on the other hand, it signifies her power; she was open to showing her weapon without concealment and seeming willing to wield it as needed; she's showing off her elegance and power; as well as her honesty; only back stabbers and low ballers hide their weapons. She's fully open to you and to her people, with style, of course." Ayana explained, Dagda giving her a confused look, causing her to sigh.
"She's not a bitch and is actually liked." Mandrake simplified, his sister hitting him in the chest.
"Mandrake." She scolded, "men never appreciate the whole picture I swear. Return the favor. Get her something nice- something you know she enjoys."
"She likes bread, tea. Bows and arrows." Dagda started to list.
"Seriously?" Ayana scolded, "You're just like your father, never know anything."
Mandrake pushed his sister's shoulder, as they started to bicker back and forth.
What did Y/n like? Sure. She liked bread, she brought her favorite bread over, she liked bows and arrows, knew extensively about them too, she took pride in her bow last time he saw it, yet he had never seen her with it since she had lost the quiver to the water.
"I have to go." Dagda spoke up, cutting his aunt and father off, and before they could truly say anything, he left with haste.
After he sat, he couldn't be found in another spot besides his own space: ingrained in carving the small detailing of the wood below. He had hoped she'd like the gift. Carving, sharpening, wrapping, tying off, and sewing, he crafted his life away.
Sometime after he set most things into place, he fell asleep in the wooden shavings shaped like curled ferns.
Dagda hopped she had dreams as good as his. Simplistic, nothing large: yet a happy flight across open skies with Y/n by his side.
Yet Y/n was being awoken. She looking up through hazy eyes as the loose form came into shape.
"Y/n."
"Nod?"
"Hey-"
She was up quickly, hugging him tightly. He chuckling.
"Miss me?"
"Where did you go?!"
"Off-"
"You idiot you cant do that!" Y/n argued pulling to look at him, "You scared me!-"
"Ah...Y/n I'm-"
He watched the tears come down her face: "sorry..." Nod finished.
Y/n looked at him only to hug him again tightly, "what happened!?"
"Does it matter?" Nod joked, "Finn found me. Seems like I wasn't the only one lost."
"Is Finn okay?" Y/n asked.
"He's okay."
Y/n hugged him tighter, Nod could only freeze, hands coming to rest on her back: she smelt good, and he deepened the hug by burrying his nose into the crook of her neck. If he took a bite, she'd kill him, and no. Not Y/n, though Y/n would probably kill him too.
Y/n pulled away: "and I'm sorry." Y/n apologized.
"For?"
"For?" Y/n asked, "I hurt your feelings Nod. I'm suppose to be your friend. I should have told you about Dagda."
"It's....fine." he answered...has he ever been apologized too by a higher up?
Y/n smiled, holding his hands; "I'm glad you're okay,"
He looked down at his hands in hers and nodded, "that's why I'm telling you this."
"Telling me what?" Nod asked watching her hands squeeze. his.
"I'm going to try and shoot for Wraithwood."
"What?" Nod asked, looking up at her, "You're not Wraithwood,"
"I know."
"You'll be killed."
"Then so be it," Y/n answered with a smile.
"There not even your people-"
"And I'd do the same for them," y/n told him,: "I know you dont agree with me, I know you won't ever probably agree with me. I've hurt you enough by lying to you. I'll never be a good ruler. Wont even be a good person if I keep hurting the people I love,"
"No matter who they are? No matter what they do?"
Y/n nodded: "Everyone deserves the truth nod."
A knock came on the door, and two workers came in; the usual two women.
"Ah! You found him!" One cheered.
"Glad to see you safe Nod!"
Y/n's hand slipped from Nod's.
"Yeah." Nod answered.
"Everyone alright dears?" One asked.
"Yeah." Y/n smiled, Nod only answered with a nod of his head.
"Well. If thats the case was your special somewhere here yesteday?"
"Please tell us how it went!"
Just like that they were welcomed so easily on Y/n's bed, cups of fresh tea in everyones hand as they talked happily about Y/n's crush.
"He's...very lovely." Y/n answered.
"Ah! Im so excited! Wedding? When?"
"What?!" Y/n laughed, "Wedding? No...no."
"Im sure Nod would walk you down the aisle. Right babe?" The woman asked.
Such a sweet woman.
"Yeah."
"I rather you be my best man." Y/n answered with a smile, "Ronin....if he would..."
"Im sure he would sweety." The second agreed.
Y/n smiled, "but! I'm not getting married- todays too important to think of anything else."
"Of course."
"You'll be great."
"Thank you for the encouraging words...Im...nervous."
"Really?"
"The princess of Moonhaven nervous?"
There was laughter from the two women Y/n chuckling along.
"I...should get going." Nod spoke up.
Y/n nodded, "We all have lots to do."
Nod set the cup on the tray and made his way out. Outside the room Finn was there. Waiting for him.
"What the fuck is your problem Flint." Finn argued.
"Nothing Grunt, lay off." Nod argued back.
"Whats the report."
"Nothing new. She's in love with....you know as she suspected."
Finn huffed, "come on. If we don't do this right she'll kill us. You know the plan. Or do I have to go over it again?"
"I know it." Nod argued, "You'll grab Ronin. When the stampede happens, I get the queen and princess when she says we'll slit their throats."
"Good, now come on."
It was a busy day, filled with last mintue preperations and last minthe checks.
Y/n was dressed in a more elegant gown, it down to her legs and a cream color with gold embroidery of small flower batches and lining, a thick belt like peice of fabric under her bust decorated with golden lily flowers, to finsih it off, a shawl thrown over it to combat the the cold of the same cream color- yet she replaced it with the cloak give to her by Daga, she resting the fabric in her in-elbow as she would with a shawl. Yet she was hot, a whole archery suit below her clothing added a fan in her hand. She hadn't spoken to Tara the whole day. Maybe it was just the busyness going on. Maybe Tara was just upset with her still.
Y/n took to staying outside until royals started to acculmate: ready for the games introductions. Wraithwood arrived earlier than other royals that were even staying in the castle.
Y/n bowed to the three.
"King of Wraithwood. Witch of Wraithwood." Y/n spoke, she looking at Dagda, "Prince of Wraithwood."
"Princess of Moonhaven." Mandrake and Ayana bowed, "Dagda."
"Princess of Moonhaven." Dagda bowed his head quickly.
Y/n smiled, "Im glad you found us hospititable enough to join us again."
"My brother enjoys people being put in there place." Ayana told, "What you did yesterday amused him."
Y/n chuckled, "I'm glad we were able to entertain then as well."
"Trust me. It was more than amusing." Ayana assured, "I quiet enjoyed it myself. So few men in the world, only boys. I hope my nephew has been polite to you in that sense."
"He has, thank you." Y/n informed.
"You have a different...dress today." Ayana pointed out.
"Ah. Yes." Y/n informed, "The queen sent a request in quiet a while ago-"
"You're meant to match Commander Ronin. Are you not?"
Y/n nodded, "Yes Ma'm."
"Do you have a knife under there?"
"I-"
"That's enough." Mandrake pushed his sister out the way.
"Fashion is everything to a woman." His sister argued.
"Since when were you a woman." Mandrake told.
"Excuse me?" Ayana spoke offended, "I've always been a woman."
"Says who? You? Might wanna look in the mirror."
"Listen here you little shit-"
And they started to bicker back at forth. They were siblings, after all. Her shoulder was grabbed softly, she feeling the nails set on her skin she turned to look at Dagda.
"Hey." Y/n smiled.
"Hi." He smiled back, "You... like the cloak?"
Y/n nodded, the smile never faultering, "Reminds me of the good times we've had so far, plus it's cozy."
Noticing the fan in her hand, he had to comment: "If you're too warm. You don't have to wear it, you won't hurt my feelings."
"I'd wear it on the hottest days." Y/n answered, "because its from you."
Dagda grew silent, flustered even as Y/n still smiled at him: she never didn't smile at him, he was quick to change the subject.
"I have something for you." Dagda spoke quickly, "If. That is you'll take it."
"Dagda you didn't have to-"
One of his castle gaurds came over, box in hand.
"I..know you lost the quiver of your old set." Dagda commented, the gaurd opening it for him.
Y/n was frozen in her spot, "If you don't like it-"
Y/n looked down at the hand crafted bow a quiver beside it, sitting nicely in fresh picked cotton.
"Dagda...I...may I?"
Dagda could only nod in response as he watched her take out the bow.
"I know its not like your usual bow."
Y/n could only chuckle as she spotted two bow silencers on it, she remembered that conversation.
"Sets are always nicer..." Dagda tried to persuade her of liking it.
The carving was beautiful, one side carved of leaves and in the center a hummingbirds eye, the other of thorns and a crows eye.
"I tried to recreate your style-"
"Its perfect." Y/n spoke up, "Ah! It's beatiful!"
She cheered as she hugged him tightly, "Dagda its perfect! I couldn't ask for anything better! Thank you so much!"
He was so frozen in his spot that she pulled away before he could even hug her back.
"Y/n!" She was called.
"Its perfect." She repeated.
"Im...uh glad you like it-"
"Y/n!"
She pulled away, "I have to go- I'll see you out there-"
"Y/n!"
Y/n was too quick to rush off almost: "don't forget the quiver!"
She rushed back, her feet sliding to a stop to grab it from the box before thanking him again and giving him a rough kiss on the cheek in gratitude, and quickly rushing off.
He watched her running form, she running down the hall to Ronin.
"She kissed you-" Ayana spoke.
"Y... yeah..." he spoke, watching her slide to a stop at Ronin.
"I was what? Oh, right." Ayana told looking at her brother.
"Screw off." Mandrake grumbled.
Y/n was raced off quickly to meet with Queen Tara and Ronin. Something about game introductions or something, maybe it was about behavior. Yet Y/n was to invest in the feelings beneath her fingertips, her hands behind her back hiding the quiver and bow as she "listened" to Tara.
"I know I taught you different," Tara explained. She had been apologzing.
Tara contuined to talk, yet was receving no form of acknowledgement, "Y/n?"
"Mhm." Y/n nodded softly, her fingers running over the engraving of the crows eye, "I get it."
"You can tell me anything. Both of us, you know that." Tara told.
"Full honesty?" Y/n asked.
Tara nodded, "Please."
Y/n looked at Ronin and at Tara, "Wraithwood should be shooting in the games."
"That was a concil decision." Tara spoke, "I can not change that."
Y/n nodded, "Okay."
"Is...there anything else?" Tara asked.
Y/n shook her head no, "Come then. Let us be royals... again." Tara tried to joke but Y/n only nodded.
The spring games were always a festive time of friendly competition. Each kingdom out on there own leaf float carried by dragon flies showing there pride in there kingdoms flag.
Y/n sat besides a standing Ronin, on her other side Finn. The royals on each side of the Moonhaven royalty. Dagda had been watching her: bow and quiver he made her disappeared from her grasp, perhaps the queen had taken it from her.
"Exciting right!" Tara cheered.
"Mhm." Y/n hummed, causing Tara to frown.
It grew quiet between the two as each kingdom was introduced there people cheering, flags high.
Wraithwood's flag is nowhere to be seen, not in the parade, at least, she had remembered the raged ends that had seen combat marching it was towards the castle the other day.
"Sanchez is our hero this year." Ronin whispered to her, "I bet two dried honey combs we win."
Y/n looked at the woman that stood head of the Moonhaven float. She held her head proud with the post in hand: moonhavens flag flying. Her people cheered for her.
"I'll take that up." Y/n answered.
They were let into the water below, dragon flys let go and floats disbursed throughout the water.
Tara was soon to get up: ready to announce the beginning of the spring games in excitement the kingdoms together for fun and sportsmen ship. Ronin at her side just a step back.
"I'll be back." Y/n told Finn, she getting up and quickly leaving.
"What?-" Finn asked yet she had already left, he cursing under his breath, she'd have his head, "shit-"
And he rushed after her.
With the loud cheering the finishing of Tara's speech and her to return to her seat, she spotted Y/n's empty seat. She looking at Ronin, Finn was gone as well.
"Where did they go?" Tara asked.
Yet Ronin had no answer, yet an excuse, "water?"
Tara gave him a "really?" Look as he was quick to rush off to find the missing two.
The first game: archery: Moonhaven's opening game as it always had been. Moohaven given the luxury of the first shot.
Sanchez had always been a good shot, third in command. A married woman to a bakery woman somewhere in town, with two of her own kids.
Four targets, four shots.
One dead center, with two in the most inner ring and the last at the furthest outer ring.
Cheering clearly from Moon Haveners and clapping from the Royals.
"Not bad." Queen Misti commented.
"Sanchez is one of our top female archers." Tara informed.
"Mhm." Queen Misti hummed in acknowledgement, she watching the games intensely.
"And who is shooting for you Wraithwood?" King Rowan commented.
"Ignorance is not flattering." Ayana commented.
Yet before anyone from Noxis could argue back; they were up to shoot.
There second in command, a man with vitiligo, and with his family in the crowd: his newly pregnant wife and two twin daughters watching from the crowds.
"Its daddy!"
"I see. We gave him our luck today right we didnt forget?"
"Yes Mama!"
Two in the most inner ring, with the other two on the most outer rings.
Not truly know what was good besides hitting the target his daughters happily cheered from the side lines.
"Do all your women have this type of tounage?" King Rowan questioned.
"She will do as she pleases," Mandrake argued.
"Ah! My Son is up!" Queen Euthalia cheered standing up to clap for her child as he took position.
For everyones luck it killed the argument, and settled it for the moment.
Three centered and one in the inner ring, that would be a hard shot to beat.
"That's my boy!" She cheered, her husband trying to get her to sit back down with a light chuckle in his voice.
"He did so good!"
"Of course, he did dear, he's been practicing for a while now,"
She sat back down with a smile towards her husband.
Y/n watched from the crowd, she blending in easy with the people, after all her dress had been discarded, left in the stables uphill with the rat cloak over her shoulders and its opened mouth up top her head, the bow across her body and her quiver on her belt.
The commander of the People of the Glaze stood up to take her shots.
That's when Y/n started to move, people distracted by the flying arrows.
Unlike the other kingdoms, Wraithwoods tattered flag was back on land, all by its lonesome. Closing in on the lonesome flag crows perched on the treetops, hidden in their silence.
Nod had spotted her- finally, he couldn't do this, quickly he made his way through the people following her, he was able to catch her right before she even reached her hand out to grab the flag pole.
"Don't." Nod pleaded with her.
She turned her head, "Don't do it." He pleaded.
"Nod, I have to it's only fair,"
"Please just-" out the corner of his eye he spotted people walking his way; his people, "It's wrong- it isn't right-"
"Nod I-"
"Please!" he begged both his hands coming out to grab her hand, "You're a good person, I didn't believe it at first- but you changed my view, you do things out of love, genuine love! If you love Prince Dagda, you won't do it-"
He looked around, if he didn't leave now, he'd be killed, "Forgive me, please, I didn't want this, She-"
A round of applause cut him off, his mouth moving but she not hearing the words, and like that he looked around once more in worry and ran off as quick as he could. Leaving her to call his name and try and grab him back but he was too fast.
She looked back the flag post before grabbing the wooden pole and making her march.
"People of the United Kingdoms!" Tara announced to people, "I am proud to announce The Kingdom of the-"
Tara paused as she watched the Wraithwood's flag be walked; the singular entitiy by it's lonesome.
"A joke?" Prince Aalto commented with a chuckle, "I must say Queen Tara you have got me,"
Yet the calls of crows caught the ears of everyone, this was no joke.
"What is this? " King Constanine questioned, "Queen Tara-"
The person stopped, and Ronin ran out the stables doors, he high enough up on the hill to see what was happening below, that, and he had found Y/n's dressed discarded on the floor of an empty pen.
Y/n pulled down her hood, and the kingdom was full of gasp and murmurs of confusion.
She looking up at Tara's wide-eyed expression and tense shoulders.
What was Y/n doing?
"What is the world! Queen Tara what game is this!" King Rowan argued.
"People of the United Kingdoms!" Y/n announced to the crowd, "Moonhaven! The People of the Glaze! Kingdom Noxis! Northern Woods, Wraithwood! I am Princess Y/n of Moonhaven! And I will be shooting in Wraithwood's name!"
"Queen Tara!? This is insanity!"
"It's preposterous!"
"Your princess is filled with insanity!"
"Queen Tara you must do something about this!"
Standing in her shock she could only stare down at Y/n, what in the hell, what was her problem!? The look of shock started to drip with anger-
"You are not Wraithwood!" Mandrake stole the attention, "You cannot shoot for Wraithwood, every boggin knows the pride of there kill, this, is not there's if Moonhaven shoots."
A uproar from the boggins came; there pride clear, and loud.
"Then..." Y/n started with a soft voice, she taking in a deep breathe, before directing her sights on the boggins, she could spot Ronin on the move behind the crowds, "People of Wraithwood, I ask your permission!"
Looking back towards Mandrake and his sister, "King of Wraithwood! Witch of Wraithwood! I ask your permission!"
The grip on the flagpole tightened, as she looked over at Dagda, he had been watching her intently; and her foot slid back, and her body came down onto one knee, "Prince of Wraithwood, Prince Dagda I ask for your permission, and for you to give me the honor of not only allowing me to shoot for your kingdom..."
People stand on the edge of their seats; people holding there breathe, the wind standing still.
"...but to be part of it, by your hand in marriage!"
Another round of gasp and murmurs from the crowds.
"What!?"
"Queen tara!"
"Do something about this!"
"Please, Dagda!" Y/n announced, "I'd do anything for you, and I'd do anything for the people you love and the world you love!"
"Bold." Mandrake commented to his son, who was still stuck in shock, "I like her."
"Father!" Dagda scolded.
"You may. Attempt!" Mandrake told, "I am not so easily impressed as my son!"
"What?!" Tara snapped, looking back at Mandrake, "I understand the delusions of a child, but agreement to this!"
"You have raised her." Ayana defended her brother, "You should be proud of such a display,"
"This is insanity!" King Constantine argued, "Queen Tara please- You know this is wrong-"
Yet cheering stole the royals attention as Y/n took her first shot.
Dead center.
Forbidden love announced to the world took some guts, a good show of archery was an added bonus.
She walked up to Moonhaven's spot, Sanchez taking a step back with an approving nod.
"Not bad at all Princess."
"What was I supposed to do? Wait around for him to do it?" Y/n answered, causing Sanchez to chuckle, and Y/n quick to take stance once again.
Ronin went to shout for her; his plan to order to her to a hault. Yet a civilian came up beside him, another leafman on the other side and he was hit on the temple with the end of a sword, the two quickly dragging him off to hide.
Another shot to the center.
The Kingdom of Noix's commander was glad to step out for her, it angered king Rowan even more.
"Good luck, marriage, it's a... curse, but mostly a blessing," He told her in a playful tone, "I wish you the best Princess, may the light guide your arrow,"
Y/n bowed her head in response, he only doing the same as she took position, bow up, and arrow knocked, she pulled back and released.
Centered once again.
Cheers from the crowd, as she moved onto the final target, her fourth an final shot.
Yet Atticus wouldn't move, and he wore an expression of anger on his face, thing is he had seemed mad since Y/n went missing from the royal box, plans ruined.
"Watch what you do next Princess," Atticus snapped.
"Watch what you say to my people," Y/n spoke calmly, receiving a snarled expression in response from the Prince in front of her, "Sorry? Have I been unladylike my Prince? Perhaps you'd wish for me to drop on my knees in forgiveness?"
She shoved him out the way with a strong solider; he grabbing her arm, "Never send someone else to do your fucking work-"
Y/n froze in her spot, a foreign feeling in her stomach as she was shoved back by him.
"People of the Untied Kingdoms!" Prince Atticus announced, "This is who you look up too!? What pitty!"
She fell to her knees, holding her stomach as the blood pooled in her hands.
"Princess Y/n!"
Yet anyone that tried to make a move was held at sword and arrow point.
"A shame!" Prince Atticus spoke, "This is you're Princess Moonhaven!?
She was grabbed by her hair and turned towards the crowds.
"y/n!" Tara shouted for her, yet she was grabbed by her hair, and pulled back into the chair, a sword coming up to her neck.
Finn hand a grip on her hair, and tigght.
"Queen Tara!"
Yet a mix of the kingdom's soldiers dropped down, they forcing everyone back into their seats.
Atticus laughed, "Ah! Who am I kidding! I suppose I'm just a bit angry from not being invited! After all! My kingdom wasn't invited to the celebration- Last time I even brought a gift! You remember that! Don't you my son! King Mandrake of Wraithwood! What was her name? What was it...oh...that little whore from Moonhaven-"
"She's dead." Ayana commented, "There's no way-"
"Winslet!" Atticus commented with a smile, "Little old Winslet-"
It was sudden the arrow once on the ground; she had dropped it once Atticus had shoved her, was in Y/n's hand, and suddenly drug across Atticus face causing him to drop her hair and her to fall on her side.
What was once the face of a Prince was stripped away, Atticus replaced with a woman; a web of fungi across her eyes and down to her mouth that stretch as she groveled in pain for a moment. She ripped the arrow from her cheek; Fungi quick to weave its way over the injury, and Y/n was quickly swung at she swiped across the face with a slap so hard it sent her back to the floor.
"Now...Where was I?" She contuined, "ah. Right. To show no malintent towards your people. I brought...gifts."
Dragged from mainland to the front and center lily pads Nod, the real Nod, battered and brusied was tossed down.
"Nod?"
He groaned as he looked over at her.
"And...apologizes for my people. They can't help a gem when they find it,"
Finn was tossed down next, he looking worse than Nod, he filled with cuts and brusises, with a dried bloody nose.
"Finn..."
He looked over at her, but the expression he wore told her even glancing at her hurt.
"N/n..." he smiled weakly at her, just to be kicked in the stomach.
"No! Don't hurt him!" Y/n argued.
There was silence from the woman, "Hm...alright."
Y/n looked up at her in a confused matter, so easily deterred?
"Bring me...." she thought looking around, "ah...yes. that one."
Y/n looked up at Ayana, who was quickly grabbed from the royal box by the enemy gaurd, a growth of fungi and mold growing a path down towards the edge of the lily pads.
"Let her go!" Mandrake ordered.
"Get off me!" Ayana demanded but was grabbed by the back of her neck and dragged down the slanted path.
As she was dragged along the lily pads Y/n tried to get up, a soilder dropping her back into place with the kick of the back of her knees and the pulling of both her wrist together and above her head.
Ayana was forced to kneel infront of Y/n, and at her mother's whim.
"Give it here boy."
A sword was passed between the two, "No...No. No! Please, please don't - "
It was a quick movement, hair pulled back and Ayana was sliced across her throat.
Tears ran down Y/n's face, and as simple as that Ayana's lifeless body as kicked to the waters.
The screaming in the background was devastating to anyone that could hear it: Mandrake had just lost his sister to their own mother.
Y/n was picked up by her hair by the mother again, taken from the gaurd once holding her.
"I thought you had more bite. Shame."
The world froze, the distant call for pleads to stop and of her name faint to the ear, her throat had been slit, and she had been dropped to the lily pad below her feet.
If it wasn't blood curleding enough from Mandrake, Tara joined in: screaming for Y/n to come back: this was just a bad dream. Others were dazed, the scream from Tara the ringing in there ears as
"Take the royals inside. I want a tour of my new kingdom. Lock people in homes, Set them on fire if you wish, I don't care." The Mother ordered.
"Yes My Queen." A gaurd responded, he quick to give orders.
"Y/n..." Dagda could barely speak, shocked, what was once a marriage proposal was now a funeral, he dragged with the other royals back inside.
"You're a fucking Monster!" Nod shouted, "A monster!"
The Mother kicked Y/n into the water to let her sink, she walking up to a cursing Nod, a solider picking him up to his knees.
"You're a fucking monster!" Nod shouted.
"Drag him away," She ordered watching the boy be dragged away.
"Nothing to say? Hm? Or have I robbed you of your balls too-"
He spat at her, a mixture of blood and saliva hit her cheek - her reaction: the third victim to the throat slice and bottom of the pond.
"No backbone in these people." She sighed, "Guard."
"Yes, my queen."
"Grab the bodies from the pond. Drain them," she ordered, "I hate good wine to go to waste."
"Yes, My queen."
The mother walked off; off towards the Moonhaven castle as the crying of children being torn away from their parents, families being separated and forced in different directions.
Like music to her ears.
Flint walked around, avoiding groups of people and gaurds alike, he making his way towards the water: the facade of Nod gone, and replaced with a veil of mold and fungi over his eyes and some past his nose, his dim purple eyes scoured around carefully, before getting behind a rock and diving into the water.
Dagda was forced down the hallway, and he separated from his father, grouped with the other royal children.
Imbreg had started to cry, her arms around Dagda and face hidden in Dagda's side, most of the younger children had clung to him in fear.
"Its okay. It'll be okay." He told the kids, he carrying Imbreg and holding her close, "I've got you shh..."
They were forced and locked in Y/n's room. Well...what was Y/n's room.
"Dagda what do we do?" Imbreg asked looking up at him.
"Hey. We're gonna be alright." Dagda told her, he looking down at rhe younger children, "Right? We're gonna be okay? We're together. That...That's what makes us strong!"
"We're waiting to be drained of our Blood." Aalto answered he taking a seat against the wall, "Its what their people do. What your people do."
Dagda glared at him, "This isnt my fault-"
"Your right its mine I should have struck you down when I first saw you." Aalto argued, "Your head would have made a good stepping stool. We wouldn't have been in this mess if Wraithwood just died."
"Would you shut up!" Jaal argued.
"Me?" Aalto snapped standing up in his anger.
"Yes You! This whole time you just dont shut the fuck up!"
"Oh? And you did a real good job at that when Y/n shut you down did you!?"
"I was only rude to her to not have to marry her!" Jaal argued, "You know that!"
"What so you can go with that deaf whore!-"
Jaal was quick to move, and slap Aalto across the face.
"Call Maralin that again and I'll rip your head from your neck!" Jaal snarled, grabbing Aalto by his face roughly, "At least I ain't an artificial cuck! At least be real before you start runnin' your mouth."
Aalto could only glare at Jaal, who only held his eye contact, his gaze intense and deep, yet finally Jaal tossed Aalto's head to the side, releasing his grip.
"Fuck you." Aalto grumbled, rubbing his jaw.
Jaal turned towards Dagda, "I'll follow you."
Dagda nodded, "thank you."
What was he supposed to do? Children in hand and one other capable solider at hand? It would be wise to split up.
What would Y/n do?
"Aalto will take the children, sneak out-"
"I'm not listening to you," Aalto spoke.
"Then you'll be fresh wine." Jaal informed, "I'll sneak the kids out,"
"Get them into Wraithwood, hide them with the moles," Dagda ordered.
"I'll come back to help,"
"No- Get the people out, I can handle...whatever that lady is," Dagda told; "Y/n would put her people before her, she did the same for my people, it's right to return the favor-"
Dagda looked around, spotting the window, "Take the window,"
"How do we get them all down? It's too far to catch them,"
"Just...Let me think."
Flint pulled Y/n's limp body from the water's, her neck sliced, if she hadn't died from the blood loss she died from the drowing.
He dragged her from the water, and quickly up to dry land, he hovering over her deceased body, "no...no no..."
He was quick to pull a knife from his side, he lifting the knife to his face, pulling on the veil of fungi he took in a deep breathe, biting his lower lip before making a quick slice, he wincing as the fresh air hit the wound, little droplets of blood dripping onto Y/n's face and neck as he worked. He was quick to cut a thin vein from the fungus and slip it into the cut in Y/n's neck.
With a fresh source, the fungus took over quickly; the veins of her neck turned dark, and the thinnest vein was weaving her skin closed. With the wound closed it traveled up her neck, and all the way up to her cheek bone, it would spread more with time-
Y/n started to choke, Flint sighing in relief as she rolled over, coughing up water trapped in her lungs.
"Hey- Hey-"
she turned her head before pushing back at him, and his helping hand; "Look, we don't have much time-"
"Someone's over here!"
"Get em!"
"Come on!" Flint argued grabbing her arm and helping her to her feet before running off with her, back into the water, where they quickly hid low enough behind a large rock.
"This way!"
The soldiers continued there run after intruders as she peaked out; not Moon haven soldier's from the color pallet alone she could tell that.
Then it hit her, she turned back towards the young man, he gesturing for her to be quiet and follow him, she did. From the water and quickly up the path to the hummingbird stables.
Up in the stables where they were given a moment to breathe; she did so deeply; feeling a lump stuck in her neck she held it, and quickly rushed to a full trough of water, shocked by her complexation, shocked at what had grown across her neck. Just to look over at the young man who was breathing heavy still.
"You did this?" She asked him.
He just nodded quickly; "I did enough bad by you; and you did nothing but treated me with kindness...it'll spread; like all fungus does..."
"What is it?"
"Cordyceps...mostly." He responded, "Within the hour you'll be in moderate control to the Queen...she has to die before that."
"Why me" Y/n spoke.
"I may be her offspring; but I can't fight, not her." he started, "She has the kings and queens of the seasons in the throne room, kids locked up in your room...but you asked why..."
He was quiet, his lips once in a straight line frowned: "I set you up...I pulled you through this...I...it gets a hold on people. She gets a hold on people. It's not just the rot and fungus she infects you with... that...I...infected you with...its...bigger than just what she's made of..."
Y/n was silent, "Where's Ronin?"
"Dungeon, along with Nod" He answered, "And the other leafmen."
"Finn?"
He was quiet, "...I... he...and... Witch Ayana...are dead, by her hand...I'm sorry."
Y/n closed her eyes to gather her thoughts and forgive those who she had failed.
"Any civilians?'
"Dungeons and locked in homes; she's plan on burning them down givin' enough time. Injuries, but not casualties, not yet. She'll let them seep in fear."
Y/n was silent in thought.
"you're bow," He spoke, pulling them from there hiding spot; bows and arrows, her quiver still tied to her despite her previous state.
She grabbed the bow from him, and filled the quiver.
"And a sword." he spoke, handing her the weapon: Ronin's sword.
She took it, "thanks." And slipped it into her belt.
"I'll support you in any way I can." He told her.
Y/n looked at him; "Can you get Finn and Witch Ayana like me?"
Flint shook his head, "They were taken by the Queen...for wine..."
"If I stopped her,"
He nodded, "they'd have to have their head and attached to the spinal cord, it's the root of how the fungus will spread."
"Alright, listen to me, the kids are safe in my room, I'll storm the throne room-"
"You can't go head on she has guards-"
"Then from the back windows," Y/n adjusted her plan, "Get everyone from the dungeon, then get them to get civilians out,"
"Her forces haven't reached Wraithwood."
"Perfect. Get them there." Y/n ordered, "I'm trusting you..."
"Flint." He introduced himself.
"I'm trusting you Flint, do not fail me."
"Yes Ma'am."
He was quick to split ways with her, and she was quick to make her way out of the stables.
"I have to say Queen Tara," The Mother spoke, "I quiet like your changes to the place, last time I was here- the last queen, she was.... something else. And that is not a compliment."
Tara struggled against her confines, arms wrapped up and bound to the person next to her; rott and fungus slowly creeping up her arms.
"Ronin will kill you," Tara threatened.
"Ronin?" The Mother laughed, "The Lioheart!? Hah!"
She took a seat in Tara's throne, "To be honest queen Tara I was expecting you to be the challenge, or atleast my dear old son."
Mandrake growled at her, "That's what happens when you mate with a bitch I presume." She argued.
"My now dead husband was always a push over, I mean. I killed him as soon as I knew Mandrake was on the way, not my cleanest job. But that-"
She gestured towards the rot and fungus climbing up Tara's arm.
"That's something I'm proud of Cordyceps, took quiet a while to perfect, not only will you all be mine within the hour It's stopping- well, you. The challenge. "
"Then I'll kill you-" Mandrake threatened, which only caused her to laugh.
"You!? The cross breeding bitch?" She started laughing, getting up to make her way towards him, before kneeling; "But how can I blame you? At least your little whore has a spine- well, had, before I killed her and ripped it out,"
"I rip your spine out myself!-"
She slapped him across the face before she grabbed him by his ear, "Is that any way to talk to your mother, boy? I should drain you of what blood you have, but I don't drink cheap."
She tossed his face to the side roughly as he glared at her. Tara struggling against the restraints thats connected them.
"My queen."
She turned her head: four gaurds, two to a body dragging in the deceased Finn and Ayana.
"What perfect timing. I was just getting thirsty."
Flint walked passed gaurds and soilders, eyes gazed down, his goal the basement and then below that the dungeon. The trek down the long flight of spiral stairs was unbothered and was silent.
He opened the heavy door to the dungeon allowing the shouting and laughing to be heard.
"Let me go!"
"Aw! A pretty little thing like you? Why should I?"
Flint walked down the short hall, filled cells on each side, gaurds mostly and in the center of the room was his brother Grunt and some of his friends messing with a younger soilder, he most likely barely made rank.
"Whattya say boys? Im a single man-" Grunt laughed.
"Let him go."
"Oh here comes killjoy..." Grunt's friend grumbled.
The soilder turned around: the facade of Finn dropped and replaced with a half veiled face of web - just like the others built of rot and cordicypus. His skin slightly more rotted and infected than Flint's, after all he was the warrior of the two.
"I've got this. Don't worry." Grunt laughed to his friends pushing the young leafman into there arms where they held his arms, "Throw em back-"
"Let him go." Flint repeated.
"Got a spine finally Flint?" Grunt laughed, Flint gulping in response, as his brother started to approach, "I. I said let him go!"
"I. I. I-" Grunt mocked, the leafman being thrown back into one of the full cells, "What? You'll do what!? Tell Me Flint, what's a punny peice of shit like you gonna do?"
"I." Flint tried to muster, taking a step back, "I..."
Flint looked around for an answer, finding the dagger on his brothers belt, "I'll stab you!"
Grunt paused, then broke out laughing; "You. You'll stab me?! With what?! Hm? You're nails? Or those pens and scrolls you use all day?!"
Flint was quiet as Grunt could only continue to laugh at him; he turning back towards his friends, "Can you believe this? He thinks he's gonna do something-"
With quick movement Flint grabbed the dagger from his brother's belt, and Grunt grabbed his wrist quickly, "Wow, spines finally coming in?"
"Let go!" Flint argued trying to pull himself away from his brother's grasp, but with a failed attempt, he restored to the second best a kick to the gut.
It surprised Grunt, he losing his grip and quickly being jumped upon, "You fucking pyscho!-"
Stab in the neck, Grunt collapsed, Flint pulling the blade out to drive it in again. The other two watched in fear, when had the younger brother become so violent?
Finally, with a deep cut and slice, Grunt's head was removed, the sound of his spine splitting in two caused someone in the the stall to hurl into a corner.
Flint looked up from his mess and wiped what blood was on his face to his bloodied hands, they rushing from the dungeon and out to the stairs and looked along the men and women soilders. The boy he was once impersonating no where to be seen and neither was the man who had tried so hard to keep Moonhaven safe.
"Where's Nod," Flint asked looking around, "Where's Ronin?"
"They took em, both em." A woman replied, "Somethin' about wine."
Flint was quick to open up the cells, "Where!" He ordered.
"To you're queen,"
Y/n scaled the castle wall; the glass that faced and framed the throne Tara once sat in was dark and accompanied by the Mother.
She watched her get up; and following her footsteps she spotted the royals, Tara and Mandrake bound together by the same fungus that was growing rapidly across her neck and face, by now it had traveled down to her elbow.
A group of guards stole the woman's attention, and with them they dragged the corpses of Ayana and Finn.
"Bring me a glass, crack open the girls headfirst," She ordered, returning to her spot in front of Mandrake, who was eye wided, staring at his sister's body which laid eyes facing him, so carelessly discarded by their own mother.
"Don't do this-" Mandrake begged looking at his mother; "Please!"
She only looked down at him; "Please!"
"Bring my son a glass as well," She ordered returning to the throne.
She sat; and the stained glass that framed the throne from behind was broken, Y/n sword in hand, flew through open air, arms and hand cut by flying glass. She landed up top the throne, it knocked over as the woman had moved too quick. stepping back and creating distance between the two. Y/n was quick to step over the fallen chair and the circling began.
"Didn't I kill you?" The woman snapped, she grabbing a sword from one of the guard's sheaths as she passed, they started to pace a circle.
"Don't you know who I am?" Y/n argued back; "You think you could kill me?"
The woman growled at her, tip of the sword dragging along the shiny floor, that mark forever engrained in the stone.
"Then again, who did I think you were?" Y/n spoke, "You had to send someone else to do your bidding, didn't you?"
"When you're as powerful as me, it fun to watch people squabble in fear of getting things done," The woman argued.
"Sounds like your too pussy to even own up to it," Y/n answered.
It was a movement of impulse- full of anger and rage; she'd teach Y/n her truth strength; swords clashed as Y/n blocked the womans oncoming attack. Y/n was quick to push her off to the left, punching the woman clean across the face and off to the side.
The woman coughed and felt her mouth; fresh blood ran down her lips, and feeling the stream it came from her nose.
Y/n turned back on her; ready to attack, yet she was blocked, the woman swinging at her quickly and heavy, she having a hard time keeping up with the harsh attacks as metal clashed against each other hard. It forced Y/n back, back towards the throne, and back towards the small set of steps that lead up to them, she stepped back, slipping on the stone, sending her to the ground, a swords tip pointed towards her.
"What a shame," The woman argued, "I was having fun- maybe I'll let you live, controlling you will be fun,"
Y/n glared at her, the door opening off to the side as heads turned, "Ah! What perfect timing!" In they dragged Nod and Ronin, they battered and bruised, and barely managing to keep their eyes open, and in behind them, a Moon haven Castle Worker, shaking as he brought in classes on a fancy try; behind him a woman, screw tap in hand and a bucket. Y/n looked up at the woman, this woman wasn't actually- was she?
"Oh, please darling, don't give me that face," She spoke, smirking, "How about this, we'll crack open Tara's head! Fresh while she's alive! All in your name!"

I’ll help you distress
Haru x Olivia (established relationship)
In which Olivia decides to help Haru relax in a way that’ll be fun for the both of them…
Warning: SMUT
Contains:clit rubbing, size kink if you squint, overstimulation, p in the v, top haru, being tied up, biting, lingerie, all the good things in life ; kind of proof read but am exhausted so… i tried me best
Olivia was stressed.
She’s just finished up helping at mortkranken and she needed to have an all-in-one shower as well as get ready in time for when Haru got to the cathedral.
She’d luckily set up the place before she left this morning. She could only hope the cats haven’t moved anything during the day, it was a lucky day where they both finished early, it was only 9PM and she doesn’t know how they’ve managed it but they’re hopefully going to be meeting for 10PM.
A late dinner and a movie was their plan.
Her plan however included something a bit more…saucy.
———————————————————
Nervously checking herself out in the mirror as she fiddled with the stocking straps, she was hoping Haru would like to surprise but she couldn’t be sure.
She was wearing a light blue corset bodysuit, the bust being a floral lace with the stockings matching it, she had lightly curled her hair and attempted to do her makeup, a silver sparkly eyeshadow with dark red lipstick, she had a dark blue lacy choker and she was wearing the garnet necklace he had got her when they first started dating.
She threw on an oversized grey hoodie and pink joggers in order to help surprise Haru, who should be coming at any moment. She checked her display, a picnic blanket covered in rose petals and a huge amount of large pillows for them to sit on, she had prepared chocolate covered strawberries, onigiri, strawberries and cream sandwiches as well as an assortment of other snack food. She had sparkling rose wine for the both of them courtesy of Rui, she had spare blankets and she’s set up her laptop with a boring film prepped already.
All that was left was Haru who seemed to be right on time as he let himself in, a bouquet of flowers in hand as he grinned running over to Olivia as he swooped her into a hug, the two giggling as he spun her around.
“You ready for our date!”
———————————————————
“Fuck.”
Haru whined out in between breaths, he and Olivia were on the blankets halfway through a movie that was dreadfully boring when he found himself more mesmerised by the girl in front of him…which has lead them to this situation.
Olivia was straddling him as they heavily made out, Haru’s hands in her hair as he pulled her closer deepening their kiss, she desperately ran her hands under his shirt her hands dancing against him, feeling anything and everything she could get her hands on, she couldn’t help herself as she sucked at his tongue causing the man underneath her to whine once again. She pulled herself away kissing down Haru’s neck as she nibbled and sucked at his pulse as he gripped at her waist trying to pull her closer.
“Ru take off my hoody…”
She breathed into his ear as he quickly followed her instructions, who was he to say no to a beautiful woman? Especially if it’s to take her top off, he gasped as he threw her hoody off, launching it across the room.
“Beautiful…”
He moaned at the sight before him something switching the flip in his head as he drooled at the sight before him, hands caressing her sides as he ate up the sight of her in her lingerie. He fumbled to get her trousers off causing the girl to giggle as he gently pushed her off of him and guided her to lay down on the blanket. He sat up hands slowly trailing down her body as she shyly looked up at him, he thumbed at her bottom lip smudging her lipstick even more grinning to himself as she sucked in a breath as he leaned over her, pressing his knee into her clothed cunt, slowly grinding it into her as he trailed kisses down her neck. His fingers ghosted underneath her choker, squeezing around her neck slightly as she let out a choked moan. She started grinding herself into his knee, biting her lip as Haru ran his hands over her thighs, massaging them slightly as he slightly snapped her stockings back onto her enjoy the way her thighs jiggled as he did so.
“Ru…I wanna touch you too.”
She softly pulled his face back to her as she wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him in as she attempted to flip them around, only to be held in place by Haru, who tilted her head up deepening their kiss as he used the other hand to tightly grip her waist.
“Not yet Oli.”
He nipped at her neck, smirking at her gasp as he nipped and sucked at that spot, enjoying her short gasps and soft whines as he started rubbing tight circles around her nipples, tracing the pattern of the lace as he pressed light kisses across her chest.
“But I-“
He could be convinced that Olivia is an angel just by the noise of her sweet moan as he sucked at her nipple, cutting her off as she melted in his hold, hips rolling against him as the feeling of her getting herself off drove him crazy, he was a bit crazed and starting to get obsessed with hearing her sweet breathy moans.
“You’re so pretty baby, how am I meant to keep my hands off ya.”
Haru whined out, dragging his teeth across her tits as she sharply gasped holding onto his shoulder as he continued his mission, sucking and nibbling as she grinded against his knee, begging for more as her own goal slipped her mind as she got lost in lust. Her thighs squeezed around his leg as she felt the fire inside her tightly wound up, she bit her lip trying to subdue her moans. Haru chuckled as she tried and failed to do so, her head rolling against the pillow as a mantra of moans fell from her mouth, her legs shaking as her heels dug into the blankets, Haru rolled his knee into her once more watching in enjoyment as she jolted against him.
“Oli, you gonna cum for me?”
He brushed his lips over hers before diving in, tongues battling for dominance as she whimpered in his hold, hands grasping her hips as he helped her reach her peak, helping her grind against his leg at a delicious pace as she dug her hands into his hair clinging on as she felt herself about to explode, she dug her claws into his back as cries echoed throughout the cathedral, a trail of slick followed her against his leg as she shook and jolted against him.
“Ru I can’t I’m-“
She cried out shaking as she felt her orgasm take over, her face flushed as cute whimpers escaped her as Haru helped her ride out her first orgasm of the evening, he couldn’t help grinning to himself as he gently laid her back down peppering kisses all over her face as she tried to catch her breath.
“You really do look amazing though Oli…all dressed up for me~”
He muttered hands travelling her body as he gripped and caressed at her curves, she leaned up gently placing a hand on his chest as she guided him into a seated position, straddling him once again as she blushed a furious red.
“You look so handsome today too Ru…”
She pressed a kiss to his cheek as she hurriedly undid the buttons of his waist coat and shirt, trying not to get distracted as Haru pulled her harshly from underneath her thighs, making her press right against his hard length as he grasped her chin, pulling her close as he brought her in for another heated kiss.
Olivia swiftly pushed his shirt of as her fingers trailed down his chest, moaning in appreciation as he started slowly pressing her harder against him, she rolled her hips against him, the two groaning in tandem as Haru grinded into her, slowly humping against eachother as Haru slowed down the kiss. It was turning her on too much as muffled moans couldn’t stop leaving her lips, Haru wasn’t in a better state as one arm wrapped around her waist and the other become lost into her hair harshly tugging at it as she whined loudly into him. She rode him, pushing him down into a laying position as she rolled her hips over his clothed length, Haru groped her ass as he let out a low groan making her lose her mind slightly as he couldn’t help humping against her, his mouth forming into a small O as she rubbed small circles on his abs, a wet patch forming on his trousers as his precum seeped through.
“Oli…Baby stop please I-“
He bit his lip as she slowed down, brows furrowed as she cupped his cheek.
“What’s-fuck-wrong Ru?”
She asked worried, he leaned into her hand huffing out a laugh as he bounced one of his legs.
“Oli, if you keep it up I’ll cum, I can’t do that just yet…”
He purred out as he slowly sat up grinning as he pressed a wide eyed Olivia back, he brought her lips to his as he pushed her back into one of the big cushions she brought down for their picnic. Pressing her hard into the pillow as he groped at her body, sighs and moans echoed into him as he undid her corset, slyly taking the ribbon out as he put it to the side.
“Oli, did you buy this just for me…”
He coyly asked grabbing her wrists and gently pressing them against the pillow. Kissing down her neck relishing in the soft moans that spilled out of her.
“Y-es, just for you Ru, wanted to…gods please-“
She whimpered out as he undid her choker, softly biting into her neck as she writhed underneath him.
“Wanted to what Oli…?”
He asked keeping his voice light and easy as he fought against the desire to eat her whole, wanting nothing more than to dissolve her into tears as she begs him to cum…she’s just too cute, especially like this.
“Hmmm Oli I can’t continue if you don’t tell me baby.”
He whispered against her lips watching in delight as she looked up at him with half lidded eyes.
“I wanted to surprise-help with your stress Ru…”
She blushed in embarrassment as he gazed at her inquisitively, checking her out in her pretty little outfit as she tried to pull an arm out of his grasp.
“Wanna touch you Ru…”
She whined out as he held her arms down more firmly.
“Pretty Oli, you want me to release all my stress on you baby?”
He cooed at her, ignoring her previous statement as he slid himself down pulling her arms down with him as he started kissing around the tops of her thighs. He grabbed the ribbon pushing her arms back up as he delicately bounded them together, he tied it tightly so she wouldn’t be able to get up as he grinned down at her as she looked at him confused.
“Oli, can I really take it all out on you? You okay like this baby?”
He kissed her hands as she lightly gasped.
“But Ru, I was gonna spoil-“
He chuckled as he leaned back up, sliding her legs over his thighs as he rubbed soothing circles into her hips, enjoying the whimper that escaped her as her eyes fluttered.
“This is spoiling me Oli, I won’t be able to hold back tho baby…hmmm you’ll have to let me know if it’s too much!”
He brought his thumb to rub light circles around her clit, the material now soaking wet from Olivia’s dripping core, her hands fought against the ribbon holding her back as he put more pressure into it.
“Are you okay with being tied up Oli?”
He pressed a kiss to her chest, just right above her exploding heart as she nodded in agreement, Haru raising an eyebrow at her as he slowly stopped his movements.
“Yes Ru…I like this.”
She gulped as the confession escaped her, Haru’s blush creeped up his face as he kissed her neck.
“Good girl…I like it too, you look so pretty all tied up for me, you’ve made yourself into such a cute present, you’re gonna be the perfect stress reliever baby.”
He unlatched her choker a hand caressing around her throat as he littered her neck with small kisses and bites. Groaning, as she leaned her head back arching to give him more access, his gloved hand squeezed at her breast as little gasps escaped her.
He gently spread her legs out, hands gripping at her soft plush thighs, trailing up and down the tops of her thighs before sliding a hand across her tummy, giggling as she wiggled her hips, he dragged his hand back down slipping a thumb underneath her bodysuit, her eyes rolled back as he rubbed fast and tight circles directly onto her clit before rubbing his thumb down her slit, feeling how warm and wet she was as she dripped down his fingers, he bit his lip as he brought his thumb to his mouth, licking it all off as he moaned around it, he did it again pressing it into her mouth as she looked up at him through her lashes, his mouth agape as she twirled her tongue moaning and whining around his thumb.
“Fuck-taste so good for me pretty girl.”
He fumbled to undo the zip of his trousers, shaking out of them as he threw them across the cathedral, she giggled as he grinned excitedly down at her, sneaking two fingers underneath as he massaged her clit, a loud whine escaped her as he leaned back over her.
“Baby…I don’t wanna destroy your pretty outfit-“
He paused pressing kisses to her chest as he trailed his way back up, she couldn’t stop her hips rolling with his fingers, it was all too much, his relentless movements and kisses driving her insane as his hot breath hovered over her neck as Haru hummed happily as she writhed underneath him. Her half lidded gaze couldn’t help eating up the sight of Haru who was practically naked, a flush across his face and neck as sweat trickled down him, she could feel his hard length dig into her, his abs tensing as he watched her unravel.
She needily bucked her hips as she leaned back her mouth agape as choked gasps escaped her, she was so close to cumming, she was throbbing from how close she was.
“How do I get this off baby?”
Haru cooed at her lovingly as he cruelly took his fingers away, Olivia clamped her thighs together rubbing them as she accidently ignored his question, he pried her legs apart as he slid his hands from her ankles all the way to her waist, hands pawing at her, he groped her thighs again accidentally ripping her stocking as he moaned at the feeling of her soft plush thighs trembling under his touch.
His gloved hand fumbled until he felt a zip at the dip of her back, he unzipped it, grinning happily as it only took off the bottom half revealing her dripping wet cunt, he threw it in the direction of his trousers, Olivia watching him with wide eyes as he pulled down his briefs, his thick long length springing out as its red head streamed with pre-cum, it looked as though he’s already cummed from the sheer amount, she gulped as she took in the sight rocking her hips as she silently pleaded for him to do something.
A harsh slap against her clit met her instead, Haru giggling as she let out a yelp before a high pitched moan was pulled from her, he rubbed soothing circles on her clit, he repeated this multiple times enjoying her cries as her wet pussy sang to him.
“Oli…you didn’t answer my question.”
He started rubbing his cock head against her slit, his eyes almost rolling back as her warmth beckoned to him, he couldn’t put it in just yet…
Her cries were so cute as he rubbed relentlessly at her clit, he tried to control his breathing as his breath kept hitching at the feeling of her juices trickling out of her as she arched beautifully against the plump pillow, she looked so small underneath him, he felt like he really might devour her with how adorable she looked.
He slapped her clit again, eyebrows furrowing as her wails echoed throughout the room, as blinding white hot pleasure overtook her, he rubbed his head against her clit, perfectly catching his slit against her as choked moan escaped him.
“It looks like they’re kissing, right baby?”
She nodded enthusiastically, eyes rolled back as he could see her literally go dumb on his dick…and he hasn’t even put it in her yet making him smirk, his ego enjoying the boost.
He spanked her clit again, teasing her hole with his cock, as she shook and jolted erratically, he grinned as he saw her juices gush out.
“It feel diff-fuck I can’t Haru, I can’t-!”
Maybe it was the way she said his name or her shrieks or the way she was literally going insane from his touch, but he couldn’t help himself as he kept spanking her clit, she tried to wiggle away from him but he just held her waist keeping her in place as fat hot tears rolled down her Cheeks.
“Too much baby? Want me to stop?”
He replaced his cock with his finger as he began determined to get her to squirt, inserting two fingers as he bit hard into his lip at the feeling of her gummy walls clamping around him, he curled his finger into her, slowly thrusting as he watched her jaw drop as she locked eyes with him as they heard her juices squelch against him. She let out a loud whine as he felt that spot, her eyes rolled back as black filled her vision, he focused on her g spot as she uncontrollably jolted against him, he pressed one hand against her tummy rubbing soothing circles as she started gushing around his fingers, her hot juices squirting out of her as it wouldn’t stop, her fingers gripped at the pillow underneath her as her eyes shut tightly. Her cries continuing as Haru couldn’t stop, mesmerised by the waterfall until she started begging him to stop.
“Such a good girl for me, squirting all over my fingers-fuck such a messy thing.”
He grabbed her chin pressing a chaste kiss to her lips as he started undoing the ribbon. She was trying to catch her breath, her body weak from the earth shattering orgasm, her legs still twitching from the stimulation.
“Ru…?”
She whispered as he looked at her perplexed, a devilish grin overtaking him as he leaned in close.
“Olllli, we’re not done yet baby? You can handle a couple more right.”
He littered kisses over her face as let out a tired giggle as she struggled to cup his face, nodding in agreement as she fluttered her eyelashes at him.
“Yeah…Ru I can…”
They’ve had sex a couple of times before but it was usually her taking the lead…she doesn’t know what switched the flip but she’s definitely not complaining, though a pout did come her way as she thought about her original plan and all the things she wanted to do to haru…
Haru manoeuvred her arms around his neck as he picked her up moving her to the other pillow so they weren’t lying in a wet patch as he gently flipped her over, grabbing another pillow as he tucked it underneath her, to make her more comfortable and to help create a delicious arch that Olivia has already propped herself into.
———————————————————
Olivia doesn’t know how many times she’s cummed now, Haru gripping her her wrists as he pulled her arms back pushing her into a deeper arch as sweat trickled down her forehead.
Haru was insatiable pounding into her with no remorse as he watched her go dumb on his dick, her eyes rolling back as she became close again the position making him hit her in all the right places.
“You’re so cute baby, look how well you’re taking me-“
He cooed at her as she clenched hard around him, her gummy walls beckoning him in as he let out a low groan, leaning down as he kissed up her back before biting hard against her shoulder, he felt her shake beneath as all it took was a couple more thrusts for Olivia to cum, she creamed around him a ring of her cum thickening around his base as his eyes fluttered at the feeling of her pulsating around her.
He thrusted meanly and deeply into her, his grip on her wrists was bruising as he chased his own high.
“Oh god baby, this is it, so good for me, so good-“
Haru babbled out as a mantra of his name cried out from Olivia as she begged for him to cum in her. Her words were slurred and nonsensical as she became furiously cock drunk on Haru.
“Ru please I need-“
He pressed himself deep against her as he let go of her wrists caressing her sides as he pulled her as close as he could against him. He squeezed roughly at her hips as her arms dropped limp against the bed, he went dizzy as he imagined himself filling her up, the condom stopping him as he slowly pulled out. He pulled it off tying it and throwing it into the bin along with the many other ones from their mini marathon.
“Baby…just one more I promise.”
He gently turned her over as he leaned over her, watching as her dazed eyes found him as she cutely smiled up at him.
“Can you do it for me Oli? Doing so well for me baby”
He rubbed a thumb across her cheek as he kissed her, deepening the kiss as she whimpered against him, he rubbed soothing circles into her hips as Olivia could barely think, she just wanted Haru, she bit at his bottom lip as she pushed her tongue in, dancing around eachother as she sucked at his tongue. His moans being swallowed by her as she pulled away, a trail of saliva following them as she looked up at him with half lidded eyes.
“Please Ru…”
She pleaded wrapping a leg around her as she rubbed her foot up and down against his back.
He gulped as he went to reach for another condom, coming up empty as he frantically checked around, frowning as he went to reach for his bag only to be stopped by Olivia.
“Don’t worry about it.”
She was blushing a furious red as her shaky hand grabbed his, she tried to avoid eye contact but a frowning Haru tilted her head to face him as he pressed a chaste kiss against her lips.
“You sure Oli?”
He mumbled against her lips breathing heavily, the air was electric as the intense heat between them boiled over as Olivia shyly nodded at him.
“Yes Ru.”
He let out a shaky breath as his hands found their way across her body, caressing and squeezing at anything he could get his hands on. He lips pressed to her neck as he licked and nipped, tweaking her nipples as she whined out, moaning as his hands slowly found their way to her legs, pushing them into a harsh mating press as he swooned at the sight before him.
“Good girl, gonna take everything for me right Oli?”
He moaned, his strong grip holding her legs down as he reached down and started rubbing his cock all along her slit, cries echoed throughout the room as his head rubbed circles around her overstimulated clit rubbing his cum all over her.
He started pushing himself into her, hands grasping desperately at her legs to keep himself stable as he become enveloped in her warmth, it felt like he was melting as she harshly clenched around him. Her hands shooting out to grasp onto his as he sharply gasped as he fully sheathed himself into her. His face beat red as he tried not to cum on the spot, he buried himself into the crook of her neck trying to force himself to not melt inside of her.
He took a deep breath as he started drilling into her, sharp gasps and whimpers spilling out of Olivia as Haru hit the deepest part of her, pounding directly into her g spot as she felt drool start to escape her mouth, if she wasn’t so pleasure filled she would’ve been embarrassed. Loud squelches enveloped the room as Haru relentlessly pounded into her, tears spilling down her face as white hot pleasure overtook her very being once again, her nails digging into Haru as she held on with all her strength.
“Fuck-‘Livia, you’re fucking swallowing me whole, want me to cum? I’m gonna fill you up baby I-“
Haru sobbed into her ear as his thrust become erratic, he growled and groaned as one of his hands ripped out of her grasp as his thumb rubbed at her clit.
“I need you to cum for me, let yourself go Oli please cum with me I can’t-“
He whimpered into her ear as an explosion occurred throughout her, she heard the pillow rip beneath her as her nails dragged through the pillow as a silent scream pried itself from Olivia as she arched herself into Haru. She gushed all around him with no warning as Haru wrapped a hand around her neck, his nails digging into her thigh as he maniacally pounded as he looked down at the mess being created by Olivia as she squirted all around him. Sobs and gasp escaping her as he continued to drill into her g spot ripping out the earth shattering orgasm from Olivia as she shook in his grasp.
“Fuck.”
He bit hard into her shoulder as he paused, trying to push himself as deep as possible as he filled her up. Olivia moaning as she felt Haru, he collapsed on top of her as his cum started spilling out of her, the sheer amount surprisingly them both after all the rounds they just had.
He gently guided her legs down, massaging them as he looked up wiping a stray tear away as she tiredly looked at him.
“Dya’ feel better Ru?”
Her words came out slurred as she kissed the crown of his head as he shuffled up peppering kisses all over her face as they both tried to catch their breath.
“Mhmmm you really know how to cheer me up baby, how are you feelin’?”
She giggled as he started massaging her wrist, frowning at the bruises that were already forming around her wrist as he pressed sweet kisses against them.
“Feel tired…”
She murmured out, eyes drooping as Haru chuckled at his tired wife girlfriend. He slowly pulled out of her, Olivia wincing from the overstimulation and loss as he wrapped a blanket around her, scooping her up as he carried her upstairs, his jellied legs somehow making it that far as he pressed a kiss to her forehead as he went to grab a warm flannel. Olivia whimpered as he went to go;
“I’ll be back Oli! Just one sec my lady~”
He pattered into the bathroom collecting a warm flannel, a scrunchie and some makeup wipes, cleaning himself up quickly as he then went to the kitchen grabbing two water bottles and some clothes for the both of them.
He quickly got changed, wearing her cropped hoody and oversized pink joggers that still come up a bit too short on him. It was still cozy though and smells like Olivia so he can’t complain, he walked over to his nearly crashed out girlfriend, as he delicately unwrapped her from the blanket. Olivia frowning at the lack of warmth, shivering as Haru gently cleaned her up singing songs of praise for his favourite girl as he sat her up. He passed her a water bottle as she drained the bottle immediately. He wiped away her makeup, she gently grabbed one herself and wiped the lipstick off of Haru’s face both giggling as she did.
She went to get up before being gently pressed down by Haru, as she looked up at him tiredly.
“Gotta go to the bathroom, be back I-“
He scooped her up grabbing her change of clothes as he carried her to the bathroom, Olivia giggling at his dramatics as he softly placed her in the bathroom, giving her privacy to do what she needs to do. She shakily came out of the bathroom, dressed in an oversized fluffy hoody and blue shorts as Haru scooped her up once again as he lead them back to bed flopping down as she snuggled into his side, he took his glove off throwing it in the direction of where the rest of the laundry was. It was a combined effort to get the prostethic off, both too exhausted now and having to share a braincell.
“I love you Olivia Ito.”
Haru was brushing a hand through her hair, his heart pounding as she snuggled into his chest, quietly massaging his other arm as he may of overdid it.
“I love you too Haru Sagara.”

skk Valentine's week day 2: camellias/you want to kiss me so bad you look stupid @bsdfanweek
hurt hurt hurt but a (rushed) happy ending.
Red camellia petals tumble from Chuuya's lips.
He holds one in between his two fingers. He isn't even surprised, which is the worst part. Mildly, he's in pain. Greatly, he's disappointed. In the back of his mind, he sees a coy smile and dark eyes and feels the ghost of a finger along his jawline.
Chuuya knew their arrangement was a bad idea, but he couldn't resist.
*
Smoke lifts from his lips into the open space of the room.
It drifts up, meeting with another trail of smoke, tangling together. He watches them and thinks there's something poetic about it. The back of his throat scratches and burns.
“Chibi, you look like you're going to be sick.”
Chuuya swallows hard, feeling a petal scrape its way back down. “Of course I am,” he grumbles. “You're here, afterall.”
“So mean!” Dazai whines. “And after I just—”
“God, shut the fuck up already.”
He does, for a moment. And then Dazai rolls over in the bed and pokes at Chuuya's cheek. “You're being weird.”
Wrinkling his nose, Chuuya puts his cigarette out on the ashtray by the bed. “You're—” But the sensation comes back, stronger this time, and Chuuya jolts out of bed. He locks himself in the bathroom, hacking up petals into his wastebasket. Dazai calls after him, once. Twice. Chuuya tells him to fuck off.
When Chuuya reemerges, Dazai is gone.
He coughs once more, a full, bleeding red camellia lands in his palm.
*
“You want to kiss me so bad you look stupid,” Dazai murmurs in his ear.
Chuuya shivers. He downs the rest of his wine, wincing as it slides down his ruined throat. There are petals pressing at the base of his throat, crowding through his lungs. He ignores them. Turning his head, Chuuya meets Dazai's daze. Dark, lidded eyes, cheeks tinted pink from the whiskey he's been nursing all night. He looks like the perfect mistake.
“Says you,” Chuuya bites.
In response, Dazai does actually bite. A gentle nibble to Chuuya's earlobe. “Of course I do,” he breathes, hot breath clashing with Chuuya's flushed skin. His mouth lowers, resting right against Chuuya's choker. “Isn't it within our nature to want to devour the beautiful things in front of us?”
Just enough whiskey in his system to be a little more honest, Chuuya thinks as his breath hitches. Chuuya can't even muster a response before Dazai's teeth rip the choker from his neck.
~
The thing with having Dazai physically is that he treats Chuuya like a temple.
Prayers into his skin, promises into his sheets, sin on his tongue.
But then, like a priest gone awry, he always leaves.
~
Chuuya's only company is the camellias.
*
“You look awful,” Dazai says.
“Thanks, asshole.”
Dazai's brows stitch together. “Really. What's wrong?”
Thinking of the flowers coating his room, his bathroom, the couch and the kitchen, Chuuya shakes his head. It hurts to talk. It hurts to breathe. He wants to be as far away from Dazai as possible but can't bare to leave.
Instead, he says, “Your flat is gross.”
Dazai studies him. He takes a hand and brushes Chuuya's hair from his face, cradles his cheek, presses a kiss to his nose. “You're lying.”
“No, it's fucking disgusting in here.”
“You're deflecting.”
And what can Chuuya say? That he promised no strings and yet has put a red thread on his pinky and continually tries to tie the other end around Dazai's? That he promised Dazai they could tumble around together while still carrying a seething disdain, except now he's so hopelessly head over heels that it is actually killing him?
“It's nothing. Just tired.”
Dazai leans over, brushing his nose against Chuuya's. “Liar,” he breathes, and then sucks the air straight out of Chuuya's lungs. “Chuuya is a terrible liar.”
“I—” and he can't get away in time. A rattling cough, a bleeding flower, an outraged cry.
Dazai stares.
“It's nothing,” Chuuya manages, voice hoarse.
Dazai takes the flower in bis palm but never looks away from Chuuya. His face is as impassive as ever. “Chuuya,” he says.
“It's fine.”
“Are you stupid?”
Chuuya is pretty sure his heart is tearing itself apart in his chest. Everything burns. He thinks he's crying, but it's hard to tell.
“Excuse me?”
Dazai sets the flower down as if it is a fragile thing. And then, he reaches out, arms wrapping around Chuuya, and pulls him close. “Stupid Chuuya.”
“You're the fucking idiot, let me go.”
His hold tightens. “No. Idiot. You're not going to die.”
“Well, clearly—”
“I adore you,” Dazai says.
Adore, not love.
“You're not going to die because your feelings are requited. Really, Chuuya, how stupid are you?”
Anger flares up but is soon stomped down by relief. By affection. Bh the absolute absurdity that is Dazai Osamu and the mess of their tangled lives.
“A real fucking idiot,” Chuuya mumbles, finally returning the embrace.
