Hi I am in love with your work!

I would like to ask for Nacht just being with his partner like doing anything. You can write it however you want and do whatever. Please and thank you.

Thank you for your patience on this request~! And I hope you don't mind that I made it a part of my Nacht birthday post surge.

Nacht Faust x Reader Daily Life

You and Nacht were dating, simple as that. His position as vice captain didn't matter to you same as how Nacht didn't care what job you had as long as you felt fulfilled doing it.

After a long time dating, Nacht asked if you wanted to move into a shared home.

You asked if he just wanted to get out of living with the Black Bulls. Nacht did admit that it was part of his reason for asking, but he genuinely did want even more time with you.

With a laugh, you agreed to move in. From there, you and Nacht slowly developed a shared routine.

Your day would begin with you and Nacht waking up in bed together.

Some mornings, you two were cuddled up close. Or at least you would be clinging to Nacht. Other days, you'd wake up nearly half off the bed while Nacht was perfectly centered on his half of the bed, unmoved like a corpse.

Both of you were late risers. Nacht because he often worked late into the night. You because your circadian rhythm was never functioning apparently.

Nacht was the one to lay out clothes for the both of you and toss your rumpled sleepwear in separate hampers.

"C'mon Nacht, I can do our laundries together," you said once only for him to hide his dirty clothes from you for two weeks. Guess you needed to date a little longer before you were allowed to wash his undergarments.

If either of you had troubles brushing out your hair, you helped each other.

You were in charge of prepping the morning coffee. You'd tried Nacht's roast once and swore it left you unable to taste anything but bitterness for two days.

If Nacht had a day off or simply stayed for more of the morning, you two made breakfast together.

.....

"What're you putting in the eggs?" Walgner asked while perched on your shoulder one morning.

"They're called spices," you stated before elaborating. "They make food taste even better by giving the flavor more depth."

"So are they all spicy like the 'hot sauce' stuff that Master doesn't like?" the devil questioned.

"Not at all! Some have a kick of spice but others are earthy. And others have a sour flavor."

"What's that one there?" Walgner pointed to the bottle in your hand.

Before you could answer, Nacht plucked Walgner off your shoulder. "That's enough, little one. Let them cook in peace."

Walgner let out a shrill sound like a hiss mixed with a bird's warble. Which, while you didn't really understand devils, felt appropriate. Nacht began to scold Walgner more which made you clap a hand over your mouth. You, like most people, thought devils to be incarnations of evil. But there Nacht was, chiding the devil who was small enough to fit in his palm as though the creature were a mischievous child.

.....

On days where the two of you had work, you and Nacht parted with a gentle "see you later" or "take care."

Goodbye kisses felt like too much, even after all the time you'd spent together and the kisses you'd already had. So you two settled with parting words.

While you were at work, you'd sometimes see the head of one of devils poke out from your shadow. They were checking up on you and you'd silently wave to them as to not get distracted at the workplace.

The Black Bulls knew of your existence. You'd even been invited to a party with them a few times before. But Nacht still didn't speak about you too much with them.

"I'd hate to flaunt my successful relationship in front of you folks," Nacht would taunt. That or he'd say "I can't share too much or else you'll try to steal them away from me."

It wasn't malicious by any means but the Bulls were a little annoyed that Nacht resisted every attempt they made to make him talk and bring out the sweet boyfriend side that you claimed Nacht had.

You also kept the relationship on the down low. After all, talking too much about Nacht could arouse unease with people who didn't understand the Black Bulls or devils.

Even so, your co-workers knew you had a sweetheart and complimented you on finding a good partner.

After the work day concluded, you and Nacht tended to meet either at a park or the marketplace near your home.

If you met at the park, you two would unwind with a stroll and discuss your days. You envied Nacht and all the adventures he went on. But you weren't the type to be a Knight so you were content to live vicariously through his retellings.

If the market was the meeting place, you two would shop for any necessities like groceries, cleaning supplies, or perhaps new home decor.

.....

"We don't need to worry about your, uh, pets...?" You cringed and felt yourself heat up, unsure of how you came off with the term.

"Yes, let's go with that while we're in public," Nacht whispered back to you. "And what about them?"

"If we get carpet or curtains..." You were eyeing a curtain set with a charming vine pattern but weren't confident enough to buy it. "We don't need to worry about them chewing or scratching up anything, right?"

"Snrk! Ah ha..." Nacht threw his head back. "Ahahahahahaa!"

You reeled back and gazed wide-eyed at Nacht. Even months in the relationship, more than a year even, you'd yet to hear Nacht make a sound like that. Sure he laughed, but it had always been one of those controlled, gentlemanly chuckles. His smile, too, was brand new to you.

"N-Nacht?" Now you were burning up. But not in embarrassment. Rather, you were blushing from awe. Your normally handsome but icy boyfriend was looking radiant like a full, silver moon. "Are you-?"

"Ah ha!" Nacht suddenly doubled over and wiped the corner of his eyes. "Oh dear, no worries! It's fine!" He held your shoulder, beaming at you like a fairy tale prince. "It's... They're house trained." He exhaled heavily and blinked a few times before his face showed confusion. "What?"

Shaking your head, you looked away. "Nothing!"

.....

You two would return and dinner would be prepped.

Cooking with Nacht was a pain sometimes because half the time, he forgot to let you know when he moved an ingredient or tool for him to make use of. And so you'd flail for a bit looking for a bottle of oil or the edge of the cutting board only for Nacht to pass it to you using his magic.

But you preferred working together over cooking alone or simply watching him cook. Doing it by yourself was overwhelming at times, even though cooking for two wasn't that bad. And watching Nacht cook was... He couldn't innovate in the kitchen at all and so watching him glance between a recipe card and the actual food gave you secondhand embarrassment.

Ever since you two moved in together, Nacht insisted on doing dishes on his own. Or rather, to leave the job to him and the devils. Apparently all their time together in Spade (and before) taught them at least how to do some chores together as a unit.

You peeked at them during the task once and it was the cutest thing you'd laid eyes on.

Nacht always had a mug of tea before bed, a bit of a ritual for himself. And while he sipped tea, you'd be soaking in the tub to ease your body in preparation for sleep.

Nacht did have to save you from drowning a couple of times. But that was because work had been especially tough those days so you were really out of it.

You two got into your pajamas and then settled down in bed together. Nacht typically brought a book or packet of paperwork with him, keeping himself occupied until the end.

Your favorite nights were when Nacht didn't have anything with him and you could reach your hand out to hold his. Although his skin was always cold to the touch, you felt comforted when your fingers intertwined with his at night.

Days where both of you had off from work didn't occur too often but when they did, you and Nacht took advantage of that time.

Usually, you two would use Nacht's Shadow Magic to whisk you off to another town to enjoy the sights, sounds, and flavors of a new place.

Nacht happily took advantage of his magic that way. You'd spent your whole life in one city and now he was letting you explore the kingdom.

.....

"Maybe one day I can take you to another kingdom," Nacht suggested.

"Wouldn't that be a big strain on your magic though?" As much as you appreciated Nacht's effort, you didn't want him to do that much for you. "Besides... I'm starting to feel bad that I can't do anything as grand for you so..."

Nacht sighed before saying your name. You looked up at him with tears in your eyes.

"I'd really prefer it if you didn't do anything grand for me. Besides, my teleporting ability isn't something remarkable to me. It's just something else that I can do to make you happy, like cooking together or brushing your hair."

Nacht then leaned over and pressed a kiss to your cheek.

"Maybe what I can do with my magic feels like a blessing to you. And similarly, being with you is a miracle for me. So just continue to love me and continue letting me love you."

You and Nacht locked eyes. His gaze was gentle, enough to make the tears in your eyes finally fall, though with a feeling different from what made them initially form.

"I love you..." You whispered suddenly. You didn't know why but the words came to you and you had to speak them.

"I love you too..." Nacht’s voice was full of love.

Slowly, you two leaned in for a kiss. A shy, tender kiss that silently repeated the emotion you two had just spoken. It was a reconfirmation of what you both knew and wanted. To love and be loved. By each other.

Not gonna lie, they look adorable with those pajamas on!

[courtesanofdeath]

"Master Nacht, please stop it! You’ve been working non-stop since you got back to the Clover Kingdom! If you give away your magical power on top of that, you’ll pass out!" "I don’t mind passing out if that means someone who’s doing the right thing gets rewarded."

Nacht Faust

In my opinion Nacht is one of the best written characters of all time (not only Black Clover!) and I’m so intrigued by him. I just love writing from his POV as he’s so complex and I adore the thoughtfulness Tabata-sensei put into him.

As a German I find it incredibly interesting to explore the references to Germany that come with Nacht and that I sometimes stumble over things connected to him completely by chance.

First of all we have his name, of course. “Nacht” is German and means “night”. “Faust” means “fist”, but this name is mostly popular because of Goethe’s drama “Faust I + II”. It’s interesting his first name is not even a name in Germany but just the term for the dark time of the day, so when it comes to that I’m actually glad to write about him in English. (“Nacht starrte in die Nacht hinaus.” (Nacht was staring into the night.) Sounds just weird, right?!) But it’s also interesting to hear the Japanese version “Nahato” or to look at the difference in parts of South America where he is called “Natch”.

For my birthday last year I spent a few days in the National Park Harz where you can find the mountain Brocken. That region is especially famous for its witches who will go to the top of the Brocken in the Walpurgisnacht (Walpurgis Night) and dance around a fire.

Now, if the name of the event doesn’t sound familiar!

All of this is heavily connected to Nacht. Not only got the Brocken famous because of Goethe’s “Faust” (here we go again!), Nacht and Morgen were also born in the Walpurgisnacht, which takes place the night from the 30th of April to the 1st of May. Nacht’s birthday is the 30th of April while Morgen was born on the 1st of May. That really emphasizes the meaning behind their names, with them being identical twins but born on different days, with Nacht being born in the night with Shadow Magic and Morgen (= “morning” in English) after midnight, at the break of a new day and therefore gifted with Light Magic.

Furthermore, the names (or at least parts of them) of Nacht’s devils literally spell the word “Walpurgis”. To get this connection you also have to know that Nacht’s devils are inspired by a German fairytale, “Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten” (The Bremen Town Musicians), in which a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster get together and climb on each others backs to scare off a band of robbers. Let’s take a look at the devils representing the animals from the fairytale, from top to bottom in the same order as the story tells us:

Walgner (Japanese: ワルグナ / Waruguna) (rooster)

Plumede (Japanese: プルメデ / Purumede) (cat)

Gimodelo (Japanese: ギモデロ / Gimodero) (dog)

Slotos (Japanese: スロトス / Surotosu) (donkey)

Now we put the syllables together: Waru-Puru-Gi-Su.—Boom! Gosh, I just love what Tabata-sensei did here! He really must have thought a lot about all of this.

The fairytale also seems to be quite popular in Japan, as the picture below is not from Bremen in Germany, but I found this statue surprisingly when I was in Fujikawaguchiko in Japan.

Last but not least, let’s not forget about some of the most recent chapters of Black Clover. I was very surprised to actually have two German chapter titles which describe Nacht’s inner struggles just perfectly (chapter 375—Strafe / Punishment; chapter 376—Sühne / Atonement). But moreover, the Walpurgisnacht / Walpurgis night became a topic once more by the combined spell of Yami, Ichika and Nacht—Dark x Dark x Shadow Magic: Walpurgis Night.

Loving Nacht so much I can’t look at pictures regarding “Faust” in an opera anymore without thinking about him immediately, and then I have to explain my poor mom the second year in a row why I get so excited about such little details. It’s not my fault the Semperoper in Dresden (where I spent my birthday this year) confronted me with this:

Well, it’s no surprise I took the devil Mephistopheles from Goethe’s “Faust” as an inspiration for my recent story “Eclipse”. It’s way too obvious connected to Nacht so I just cannot ignore this.

Tabata-sensei, I bow deeply before you! You’re a genius and I can’t thank you enough for such a brilliant character and your creativity when it comes to him! Now just please don’t kill him off but let him find his peace, he had enough hard times already and deserves some happiness in his life.

POOR DEVILS!! :(

[the-black-bulls]

Hello again! How about headcanons you hate for the rest of the Vermillions? Fuegoleon and Kirsch? Thank you

seeing a headcanon you disagree with and it kinda pisses you off

Last batch of this ask game, thank you for your patience ^^

Fuegoleon:

- that he's undeserving of the captain title, or that mereoleona is more deserving of it than him... fuegoleon IS a great captain, not nearly as freakishly strong as mereo, sure, but you need more than strength to become a good captain and fuego has demonstrated many remarkable qualities as a leader (in fact, he's written as the ideal captain in asta's eyes)

- overall, I don't fw his slander which is annoyingly common in apps like twitter or reddit, even if I agree that he's been done dirty

Kirsch:

- that he's a bad brother... kirsch can be described by many negative words but being a bad brother isn't one of them

- this goes for both him and mimosa: I find it annoying when people tie them to either the silva or the vermillion, but not both families??! likewise, kirsch is so ignored sometimes in "royal" posts I can't help but feel bad for him :(

Nacht: (@nachtssexycloak tagging you for nacht ^^)

- no, nacht doesn't hate yami, he hates himself, and he doesn't hate the bulls or doesn't care about them either; he's projecting because he sees himself in them, but he did attempt to motivate them back into getting stronger to save yami

- speaking of the bulls, nacht was absolutely being an asshole who's projecting his own self-hatred and past self on them, no they didn't need to hear that (seriously, the last thing grey needed is to be told that she shouldn't look herself if she doesn't want to be judged), no half his points didn't make sense (like c'mon, how being an ex-noble is gauche's fault? he was a literal child!), and no, the bulls shouldn't prove themselves to him because they've already grown beyond the flaws he tried to shove back into them... so, seeing fans mischaracterize his character or use him to slander the bulls is always annoying and make me question people's reading comprehension

- his relationship with his devils... like, YEAH, I also tend to go with the positive vibes behind his interactions with them in the manga, but every so often I'm reminder that they're technically his slaves, (which is canon but correct me if I'm wrong) and I wish more people explore this twisted side of the bremen devils
