One Hell of a Love (Book 2) Chapter Two

Sebastian Michaelis x Demon! Reader

Chapter Two: One Hell of a Prosthesis

Summary: (Y/N) and Sebastian learn more about the circus and audition with Ciel.

            “‘Ere we go,” said Joker as he led (Y/N) and Sebastian to the doctor’s tent behind the circus proper. “Right this way. Beg your pardon, the place is rather a mess.” Various performers from the circus watched Joker led the strangers through what was essentially their home. “Oh! Snake.” Joker waved to the snake man. Snake looked up. “Is the Doctor in the first-aid tent?”

            Snake was silent, but one of the snakes curling around him pointed to the side.

            “Oh, dear. Bad timing,” sighed Joker. “Seems he’s out on business. Come on, we’ll find him.” He continued on.

            “Oh, isn’t that the lad who was bitten by the tiger?” said one of the acrobats, the sister.

            “You’re right! What a lob of a lad,” said the brother.

            “There he is!” said Joker, ducking into another tent where the knife-thrower sat on a chair.

            (Y/N)’s nose twitched. Another prosthetic limb, this time on the knife-thrower’s leg.

            “Doc!” greeted Joker, and the Doctor turned around in his wheelchair.

            “Heya, Joker. I was just working on Dagger,” said the Doctor. “Your arm giving you trouble again?”

            “No, I’m not ‘ere for me today,” said Joker.

            “Ah…” Dagger looked at Sebastian. “If I think back, yer that feller that got ‘is ‘ead bit by Betty!”

            “Betty bit you?!” cried the Doctor. He pulled Sebastian down to his level to look at him properly. “That’s awful! Come, to the medical tent with you!”

            He wheeled the group back to the medical tent and looked over Sebastian’s head while (Y/N) watched in amusement as the Doctor’s brow furrowed in surprise since Sebastian had no bite marks.

            “Were you really bitten by the tiger?” he asked. “There’s nary a scratch on you.”

            Sebastian smiled happily. “It was but a play-bite!”

            Play-bite? Dagger and Joker stared at him.

            He really does love cats, thought (Y/N), smiling fondly.

            “Well, if nothing’s wrong with you, that’s just as well,” said the Doctor.

            Joker sighed in relief. “I’m so glad you’re fine. If a member of the audience had been hurt, our troupe leader would’ve had our heads!”

            (Y/N) raised an eyebrow. “You’re not the troupe leader?”

            “Nope!” said Joker jovially. “I’m just the Ring Master! The leader is someone else entirely and quite scary to boot.”

            “Don’tcha come cryin’ to me when ye get chewed out for sayin’ that,” said Dagger.

            “Doctor. I was hoping you could take a look at me leg…?” The animal tamer ducked into the tent.

            “Beast!” cried Dagger joyfully.

            “You!” cried Beast, glaring at Sebastian.

            “I’m ‘aving problems with my leg, too! Gossssh, this’s gotta be more that we’re tied by the red string of f—!”

            Beast brushed past Dagger and his words. She pointed at Sebastian and spoke angrily, “You’re the eccentric gentleman from before! What are you doing here?! Thanks to you, the act was completely ruined!”

            “Beast!” admonished the Doctor. “How could you talk to a member of the audience like that? You have only your own carelessness in being unable to control Betty to blame!”

            I doubt he’d be saying that if he’d seen Sebastian praising Betty, thought (Y/N), amused.

            “B-But he approached on his own—!” argued Beast.

            “No buts! You’re a professional, right?” said the Doctor.

            “Now, now, Doctor. You mustn’t raise your voice in front of a spectator,” said Joker brightly.

            “Yeah, yeah! Please examine Beast’s leg first!” said Dagger eagerly.

            “Haaah,” the Doctor breathed tiredly. “Beast, retrain Betty again after this.”

            “…Yeah,” said Beast.

            “Good, now let’s see the prosthesis,” said the Doctor.

            (Y/N) and Sebastian exchanged a glance. Another prosthesis? Quite the pattern was emerging.

            “Prosthesis?” remarked (Y/N). “Like your hand?” They leaned towards Joker slightly, looking like an innocent, curious cat.

            “Yeah,” said Joker, smiling. “Ye might say there’s a little reason behind this circus.” He nodded to where Beast rolled down her stocking to show her prosthetic leg to the Doctor. “One way or another, we’re a collection of folks with problems. I was missing an arm myself, but thanks to the Doctor, look at me now. Pretty fine, eh?”

            “And it’s always going bad because you insist on having a prosthetic limb in that shape,” huffed the Doctor, glancing at the skeletal hand. “I wish you’d give some consideration to the person who has to maintain it.”

            “Do you make artificial limbs for all of the troupe members?” asked (Y/N).

            “Yes, that’s right—It’s a lot of work, I tell you,” said the Doctor. “From carving the parts to installation, I do it all.”

            “Carving? Are they made of wood, then?” said Sebastian. He leaned over the Doctor as he worked on Beast’s leg, a completely artificial limb.

            “Nope, ceramic,” said the Doctor.

            “Ceramic?” said Sebastian.

            “I say ceramic, but I use special materials to make it light and durable,” said the Doctor.

            Special materials? (Y/N) raised an eyebrow but didn’t voice the question.

            “I see. It also feels nice to the touch,” said Sebastian, running a gloved hand over the carved calve of the limb.

            “Right? To ensure its smoothness, I also use ball-shaped parts in the joints,” said the Doctor.

            “Oh?” Sebastian hand didn’t leave Beast’s leg.

            (Y/N)’s nose twitched. They didn’t like Sebastian touching Beast so intimately. It irritated them. They loved him. He was a powerful demon. No human was worthy of his touch. (Y/N) shook the thoughts from their head. Now was not the time to be distracted by their feelings. Besides, Sebastian had made it clear humans were of no consequence to him. Could a demon be?

            “This is indeed delicate workmanship,” said Sebastian. He raised an eyebrow. “Oh? What is this hallmark?” He had caught sight of a mark carved into Beast’s limb. It could give clues, so he raised her leg and leaned it. The entire sight was far from innocent.

            “What are you playing at you, you letch?!” said Beast, attempting to kick Sebastian in the head, but he leaned back to evade

            He smirked as he stood. “Aah, excuse me. You did not strike me as one so chaste as to be bashful at something of this sort, so—”

            “Why, you!” Beast cracked her whip towards him.

            Sebastian stepped to the side casually, still grinning impishly.

            “Hey! Beast! Stop that! He’s a spectator!” cried the Doctor. He looked back at Joker and dagger worriedly. “You two stop her qui—!”

            “You barmy bastard!” shouted Dagger. “How dare ye lay a hand on Beast’s pale, silken skin! How dare ye! How dare ye! And when I haven’t even laid a hand on it yet!” He threw several knives at Sebastian, who flipped to avoid them.

            “Though I did not touch her skin directly, I do seem to have touched your anger,” observed Sebastian, landing on a rope spanning the tent as it held drying clothes.

            “Dagger, stop it, or the tent will—!”

            Dagger ignored the Doctor. “Forget the tent! Beast’s chastity is more important!” He launched more knives.

            (Y/N) intervened. They leapt into the air, catching the knives between their fingers as they landed beside Sebastian.

            “No way?!” Dagger blinked in shock, and Joker whistled, impressed.

            “Don’t push your luck!” Beast’s whip cracked up at the pair.

            Joker blocked her with his baton. A solemn look was exchanged before Joker grinned, and his baton popped open to reveal a bouquet of flowers. “Here!” He grinned at everyone in the tent. “Alright, alright, that will do for today!”

            “But Joker!” Dagger wanted to fight for Beast’s honor.

            “Why didn’t you stop them sooner?!” cried the Doctor helplessly.

            “But he—!” Beast was still angry.

            “Come, come.” Joker hugged Beast and patted her leg. “Ye have such lovely legs, after all. I can understand why he would want to have a touch. I’m going to give you these flowers, so let’s see a smile!” Beast blushed and looked away as she attempted to remain upset in the face of Joker’s flattery.

            (Y/N) and Sebastian landed on the floor of the tent, and (Y/N) grinned at Dagger’s annoyed and astounded face when they handed back his knives.

            “But I saaay,” continued Joker. “Leaving all that aside, you ‘ave some terrific reflexes. So much I’ve half a mind to scout ye for our troupe here.”

            (Y/N) and Sebastian glanced at each other. Now that was an idea to gather information.

            “Are you sure?” said Sebastian. He sighed and pretended to look forlorn. “To tell the truth, our current master is so willful that I have quite had enough of him.”

            (Y/N) nodded, playing along. “Truly troublesome.”

            “Master, ye say…Are ye a servant at some grand house?” Joker blinked. “You’re dressed well, I figure ye two for some nobles.”

            “No, we’re not nobles,” said (Y/N).

            “We are merely a butler and maid,” said Sebastian. “So, were you serious about scouting us for your troupe? If so, I would like to join at once.”

            “Are ye really serious?” said Joker.

            “Of course,” said (Y/N).

            “Haha! You two are amusing! I like ye,” said Joker. “If ye wanna join up, ye can come by anytime.”

            “Hey! Joker! How could you decide just like that?” cried Beast indignantly.

            “Now, now, they’re quite the talents,” said Joker.

            “If you please,” said Sebastian. “There is one other I would like to introduce to you.”

            “Certainly! If I can get a third like you two, I’d just love it! But I would like to run him through our tryout,” said Joker.

            “Understood,” said Sebastian. “Well, then, the three of us shall impose upon you tomorrow. Thank you so much for today.”

            (Y/N) smiled as they left the tent with Sebastian. “You do not need to show us the way out.”

            “Now, then,” said Sebastian. “The larger tents.”

            (Y/N) nodded. “I haven’t sensed children, but there’s something else here. Farther in.”

            “Yes, I noticed the same,” agreed Sebastian.

            They took a few steps in, but a sudden hiss caught their attention. Snake stood beside them, one of his snakes extending out towards them.

            “Entry beyond this point is forbidden -says Wilde,” said Snake. “The exit is over there -says Goethe.”

            Sebastian smiled. “Thank you for your kindness.” They would have to investigate once part of the troupe.

            “Goodbye -says Goethe,” said Snake as Sebastian and (Y/N) walked away.

l

            “Huuh?!” Ciel glared at Sebastian when the butler explained the situation with the undercover work. “Why did things turn out that way?”

            “Why, you ask? Like we said—”

            “Ciel!” Sebastian’s second explanation was interrupted by Soma running into the room. “You were late! Are you done for the day?!”

            “Welcome home,” said Agni politely, and (Y/N) smiled and nodded to him in greeting.

            “Teach me chess today!” said Soma.

            “When did I order you to do such a thing?” said Ciel to Sebastian, ignoring Soma.

            “Is there any harm in it?” said Sebastian.

            “Hey! Ciel! What a sour face you’ve got there. I came out to greet you, so you could at lease smile!” cried Soma.

            “Shut up! I’m busying right now! Keep your mouth shut,” said Ciel, an irk mark appearing.

            Soma pouted as Ciel walked to his room. “Luck will run away if you’re not smiling, you know.”

            “Like I was saying,” said Ciel once they were in his room. “How did it turn into me having to join the circus as well?”

            “No one is having you do anything,” said Sebastian. “You will try out for the troupe and be asked to join.”

            “You two are the only ones that need to infiltrate the place. Living in a tent is no laughing matter!” said Ciel.

            “Are you sure you wish for us to act of our own free will within the circus? Sebastian would have no commands from you,” said (Y/N), smirking. “He could do anything.”

            “…Point taken,” said Ciel. “But the ability to do tricks is essential to being a circus performer, right? I can’t do anything like that.”

            “Indeed,” said Sebastian. “Please, do your best with the tryout tomorrow. As your butler, I shall be cheering you on from the bottom of my heart.”

            Ciel huffed. “There’s nothing for it. I’ll have to join the circus, too.”

            “As you wish,” said Sebastian, bowing as he and (Y/N) left the room.

            “How much are you going to enjoy manipulating Ciel into getting into the circus?” said (Y/N).

            “Manipulation? You wound me. I would hardly call steering my Master in the right direction manipulation,” said Sebastian. He paused. “But if you were to call it such, I would say it is simply a bit of innocent fun on my part.” He smirked. “He said he had to join, and it is my duty to ensure he does.”

            (Y/N) smirked. “And enjoying yourself while doing it?”

            “That is a fortunate byproduct,” said Sebastian impishly.

            (Y/N) chuckled, and Sebastian’s eyes gleamed in victory at having drawn out such a sound. Just as he loved (Y/N), he loved knowing he made them feel good. It was a matter of pride to him, to know (Y/N) enjoyed his company. He would win (Y/N)’s affections, slowly but steadily. And then he would draw a myriad of other sounds out of them.

            Of course, he had no idea they had been won long ago.

l

            “Goodness me! Ye sure brought along an incredible adorable child, eh? Are you a boy?” said Joker as he gazed at Ciel, dress in plain clothes and ready for his tryout.

            “Yes,” said Ciel. “I was a pageboy at the manor. I’m Finnian…”

            “What a grand-sounding name ye ‘ave!” said Joker cheerfully. “We’ll give ye a stage name if ye make it into our troupe. But being cute isn’t enough to work in a circus. Ye gotta know how to do tricks. So little fellow, what are ye good at?”

            “…Darts?” said Ciel.

            “Knife throwing it is! Dagger, lend him your knives,” said Joker.

            “Here ye go,” said Dagger, handing a few daggers over.

            “Hit that target over there from here,” said Joker, nodding to the target. It was quite far away from Ciel.

            “Aww man. What a bully y’are, ol’timer. With them scrawny arms, ‘e’ll never ‘it the target.”

            “I’m not being mean. Ye couldn’t call it an act if it ‘twere any closer,” said Joker.

            Ciel threw the knife, and it pitifully began to fall short of the target. Before it hit the ground, though, Sebastian flicked a pebble into the hilt and sent it flying up into the center of the target. No one but (Y/N) could see the pebble, though, so the humans gaped in amazement.

            “No way?!” cried Joker and Dagger.

            Over and over, the same thing happened—Ciel threw the knife, and Sebastian saved it at the last second.

            “Will that do?” said Ciel, turning to Joker.

            “Ye seem to have good control,” said Joker. “Then next up is this! Tightrope walking!” he dragged Ciel into the tall tent, and Doll, the tightrope walker, guided Ciel up onto the platform. “Doll! Tie the lifeline nice ‘n tight now! He’s yet a novice, so he’ll hurt himself if he falls!”

            “Won’t you test me with something else?” said Ciel.

            “Ooh? Retiring already, hmm, little fellow?” teased Joker.

            “N-No, but something other than this—” Ciel swallowed and looked down.

            “Then get a move on, would ye?” encouraged Joker.

            Ciel took a step out and swayed dangerously. Sebastian flicked a pebble and hit him in the side, straightening him. Ciel gritted his teeth at the pain, and (Y/N) glanced at Sebastian, who was smirking impishly. The raven demon was having a little fun (just a little). Ciel rubbed his back as he descended on the other side of the tightrope and glared at Sebastian.

            “Amazing! I never thought ye would actually walk the tightrope!” said Joker.

            “Thank you,” said Ciel, staring down his butler who had a smirk on his face.

            “Then this cutie-pie passes right, ol’ chap?!” said Dagger, patting Ciel on the head.

            “Not yet,” said Joker. “The little fellow’s missing something important. A first class…smile!”

            Sebastian and (Y/N) snickered together at Ciel’s aghast face.

            Ciel clenched his fist. “…” And then he forced himself to give Joker a big smile.

HEY THIS MADE ME SAD

🎲 maybe Bev could give Josie a kiss 🤔

Oh, to finally find friendship in someone else in your field, but find yourself on opposite sides of a conflict you could never truly grasp the scale of…

#39 - A Hesitant Kiss

The tales of London most Sequencers had heard growing up painted the fallen city as a dismal. Cold, and dark, and full of purposeless people struggling to find meaning. The dreary cobblestone streets were filled with disorganized souls pushing this way and that, with misery around every corner. Everything was drowning in chaos, in expression, in colours the young engineer couldn’t see. Nothing like the warm, bright, efficient life on the Geode, where everything ran in time with everything else.

No, nothing at all like home.

Professor Ashwood’s lab wasn’t quite as chaotic as the streets outside, far from it. Everything had its proper place - though some of it relied on a color coding system Beverley couldn’t quite grasp - and when the professor was at the helm, the laboratory ran with an efficiency any of his superiors would’ve been proud of. Not like they would ever know, of course. Beverley had tried his best to keep his hours in Professor Ashwood’s laboratory out of his reports to his superiors - after all, they knew that part of his posting here was to study. There wasn’t anything of note about that. He was there to learn. The soft comfort that came from finally donning the protective gear and entering the laboratory proper, wearing a smile that almost felt his own, well, that was clearly only the passion for his studies. The place was familiar, and calming, but that was all. Nothing of note. Certainly nothing outside his expected role here. He’d learned so much from the professor, after all.

That’s what made this difficult.

Beverley wasn’t exactly a hard figure to miss, parting the small crowd of fellow students as he walked towards Professor Ashwood’s office. The hustle and bustle of the crowd still set him on edge, with chaotic threads slicing through his vision at every turn. So much talking, so many different warps and shifts - it was enough to make Beverley’s head pound, if not for the dark lenses buffering out the worst of it. He didn’t wish the crowd could’ve stalled him for longer, that someone might’ve called out to him and delayed his journey. No, of course not. He had work to do.

He couldn’t help but hesitate before knocking on her door, though. Beverley’s hands shook, slightly, old scars prickling with half-forgotten pain. The script he’d written looped in his mind, over and over again.

Please excuse the disturbance Professor, I just wanted to let you know I’ve been assigned a short task on the Admirality’s orders, and I’ll be gone for some time.

Simple, polite, and to the point. There wasn’t anything to be worried about. Beverley knocked on the door, trying to suppress the hope that she simply wasn’t in.

“Please, come in.” Josephine’s voice, calm and professional as always.

Beverley’s pale form had to stoop a touch to enter her office, a bright smile on his face as always. Golden thread twisted elegant knots in his stomach. “Professor Ashwood! I hope you’re well- could you spare me a moment, perhaps?” He said, fighting to keep his voice light.

Please excuse the disturbance Professor, I just wanted to let you know I’ve been assigned a task on my superior's personal orders. I’ll be gone for some time. I don’t know when I’ll be back. It’s a simple, nothing to worry about.

“Can I help you with anything, Mr. Beverley?” Josephine’s voice cut through his thoughts. She stood in front of him. He knew exactly what to say. He’d had it in mind all day.

“I, ah, well…” Beverley swallowed dryly. “I’m… I’m going to be absent, for some time. Admiralty business, I’ve talked it over with the deans of course, I merely wanted to say my goodbyes in person.”

He could see the gears turning in her head - why would he be called out on business as a student sponsored by the admiralty? Why would such business take him out of classes? Beverley continued speaking, rushing to fill the air - he couldn’t answer her questions without risking something far worse.

“You’ve been a wonder to learn from, Professor- I truly mean that, you’ve…” Complicated everything. “Aided me greatly, in so much.”

Please excuse the disturbance Professor, I just wanted to let you know I’ve been assigned to build and detonate several explosives on campus for the purposes of killing your colleagues. This is what I was made to do, you know. Don’t worry - I won’t be back.

She had to be talking at this point. Consciously, Beverley knew that Josephine had to be speaking to him, and that he was responding. It was all a blur, though. He was thankful she couldn’t see his eyes behind the glasses. Gold crackled lightly in his gaze, trying desperately to keep the honey-gold grip on his mind intact.

Beverley reached out to shake her hand. And then he was holding her hand. And then.

“Thank you so much. I can’t say it enough, Professor. And I…” Fear was bleeding into his tone. The handshake had gone on for too long. A headache was blooming in the corner of his temple. Then all of a sudden, Beverley raised Josephine’s hand to his lips, barely a kiss. The tremble in his voice was even clearer. “Something glorious is coming, Professor, I’m sorry. For your sake, I hope you never see me again.”

Then, with more fear in his heart than he’d ever admit, Beverley ran.

[j0kers-light]

Hi Chaos! I love the idea of J being bad at math 😆 Me personally I think he’d be good with numbers and stuff (even though he has to double check himself with basic addition lol, there’s too much going on in his brain for him to focus). But I do think he’d struggle to read a little bit. He’s not illiterate obviously, but sometimes the words don’t come to him immediately. Like he’d have to sound it out a few times, especially complicated words. It’s really noticeable when he tries to read out loud. He doesn’t read fluently and he pauses a lot. I’m imagining y/n asking him to read her a bedtime story and he gets all embarrassed because he can’t read that well. (Kinda like in Beauty and the Beast 😭)

I’m sorry I didn’t not mean to ramble lmao

- 🍄

Beloved 🍄 you’ve returned!

Never apologize! I’m gonna ramble back at you! 🖤✨

I think Joker is just bad with money since he rarely uses it to buy things. How is he supposed to know what a nickel is? He just steal whatever he wants, there’s no need for him to know how to count it 🙄 our cute wittle idiot

Wait until he finds about international currency. Anyhoo..

I agree; with a hyperactive brain like his, simple tasks tend to trip him up. Like math.

Make no mistake. I’m not saying he’s challenged 😭 far from it actually. Our baby is smarT!

OOOOOH MYYYYYYYY GOSSSSH! Joker stressing larger words like per•suas•sive•ly because he struggles to enunciate words, is a secret theory of mine.

Hear me out! I am a fast reader! I’ll read a thicc book in a day however I SUCK AT READING OUT LOUD. Don’t ask me to, I ain’t doing it.

Joker can read, duh, but like me, our diction is trash. It’s because our brain is reading the text faster than our vocal cords can produce. That’s the problem.

Enter Y/n, with copious amounts of patience. You’re a walking thesaurus for J!

You read to Joker every night and teach him how to adopt a manageable reading flow so he can follow along verbally. And you help him how to say different words correctly.

You help him practice reading aloud (because you secretly love listening to his voice) and you reward him with kisses when he reads a chapter without stuttering.

He’s doing better with his pronunciation and pacing yet he prefers when you read to him.

They’re really busy, but also when they were promoting S1 Joe was flying back and forth between London and the Isle of Man to go to school and study, sometimes going to school and then doing a promotional event in London the same day, so it might be less draining than that for him at least. 😅

I would expect more promo than S2 obviously, but yeah, probably more stuff done in advance. With S1 they didn’t really know how successful the show would be, so my impression is they didn’t have a ton of promo already done, and then when it blew up they were riding that wave. They know better now, so they should have more stuff prerecorded, less live stuff after release. I mean even these little pop-ups are a lot more than they did for either season this far in advance. I hope we get at least one or two joint Joe/Kit photoshoots again, the Teen Vogue and NYT ones last year were so nice, and they managed to get those done even with the strikes. (So I wonder how much more they would have done had that not happened…)

I would bet they’ll do more U.S. stuff than they did for S1 too, since they’re known over there more now. As Kit will be in NYC, I’m hoping he and Joe get booked for at least one NYC based late night show. And they can do cross promo for Agatha/Heartstopper/R+J, it’ll be kinda crazy, but it should give everything a boost.

Omgod lowkey kinda forgot abt the whole Alevels thing gossssh that felt so long ago!!

SAMEEE i really love the NYT piece and i hope we got something like that again too! Sucks so much that the strike happened during s2 and now in s3 joe and kit are much busier hahahahahaah

but agreed it’ll be super cool if they did a joint interview in the US on a late night show! And play some silly games lol i hope we get that puppy interview. Or something like a sing off between joe and kit, like karaoke or something 🤣

15 things I don’t do anymore since my pre frontal cortex finally finished cooking

- drink alcohol. used to drink only a few times a year anyways so why bother at all when it’s literal poison

- ask for people’s attention. if it isn’t given freely, I actually do not want it lol

- speak my mind all the time. I used to put my foot in it a lot because I talked too much and didn’t think enough. I am much more reserved now

- say “yes” when I want to say “no.” I just say “no” now even if it means people feel uncomfortable or awkward. my boundaries are a work in progress and I take that work seriously !!!

- hang out with people whose values do not align with mine even if they are fun to be around. (I am talking fundamental values that should not be up for debate) at this stage) I will immediately ghost you if you turn out to be a racist, misogynist, homophobic, transphobic (or otherwise intolerant of other groups of human beings existing) and have virtually no regret about doing it

- Indulge in or engage with “toxic positivity” … no room for platitudes, I want a realistic view. I don’t need pessimism either but I need the truth lol just reality please, thanks

- argue with anyone who refuses to see nuance in a topic or consider another pov

- argue with anyone who has a temper issue! haven’t done that in years but my gossssh what a waste of time to argue with someone who is coming from such a reactive and emotional place lol

- go bowling. I really hate bowling. I like the first 3 rounds and then I am just dying to get out of there lol

- ignore my own gut instincts. the amount of times I ignored my gut in my twenties is asinine! could have saved me so much grief had I just listened and trusted myself more

- neglect my family for the sake of a romantic relationship. I am so lucky to have a close family who welcomes my partners and my sister’s partners with open arms and I used to just ignore them a lot of the time 😭

- neglect my mental health or try to hack it on my own like some sort of witch doctor. when you’ve got CPTSD and anxiety issues (me) professional help is the right move. the internet cannot heal me and neither can daily supplements lol I go to therapy and therefore am calmer, more functional and organized (at least when it comes to my mental health lol)

- assume that a boyfriend will solve my problems lol I used to think that getting a boyfriend was all I needed to solve this deep-seated wound of unworthiness that I carry around with me. god I was dead wrong. no other human being can solve your inner wounds but you. so a bf has become less appealing to say the least. I still want one day cuz I’m a romantic sensitive silly little girl but maybe when I am of a saner mind lol

- put much stock in anything unkind said to me. I’ll take constructive criticism all day long but the moment someone is unkind or rude to me I file it under “projection” and disregard it because there is seldom a valid reason to be blatantly unkind when expressing even a negative opinion to someone

- assume I won’t run into people I used to know in public. I have learned you must always be prepared to run into anyone out there lol a coworker, an ex’s roommate, an old teacher, the guy who SA’d you… this city is too small. Always prepare to flee lol

Ohhhhhhh myyyy gossssh

The prof had us put answers for a question into an projector answer app thing and.

Some folks put 69 in as a joke and my prof spent a minute talking about he did not understand where people were getting that answer from

Oh Gossssh, what does this mean? 😭

Could be something. Could be nothing. Could be they posted it because today's his birthday? I guess today will just be a waiting game. LOL 🧜🏻‍♀️

fluffy feathers are great for those silly wiggly gigglessss but stiff feathers ooooh my gossssh~

the broad side gliding up the sides or down the feet like a curtain of tickly touchesss~ and that sounnnnddd~ there's such a unique teasy brushing sound a stiff feather makes when that edge is taken across the shape of a ticklish bodyyy~ and it's just flexible enough to contour slightlyyyy always picking up those twitchy spots no matter how you try to hide them~

that pin point precision, the unbearably light touch~! the stiff tip of a feather chasing the bouncy navel, following the royal chest buttons as you try to shake back and forth~ it's like the softest finger touch, and extension of your tickler's hand relentlessly poking and stroking and earnestly retrieving alll your gigglesss~

and that's not even getting into the most regal stiff feather ticklessss~ oooh gooossshhh ~ there's nothinggg light or airyyy about the stiff feather tip caressing the most royal spottt~ whether it's a girly pearl, the happy spot under a royal rod, or even the dreaded honeyspot entry~ a fluffy feather would teasee and pleasee but the stiff featherrr mmhh ~ it only enters the royal chambers to taunt and torment with that irresistible wicked grazing kissss, just like a glancing arousal, slowwwly building, gradually stimulating you and incrementing you and taking you to the giggly sparkly heightsss~<3

(this billowing ridiculous though bubble forming over my head as I stopped to look at a fallen stiff goose feather on my lunch walk~)

I just finished playing Royal Affairs and it was so good. I love the dynamics between all the characters; the banter makes it so realistic! Javi is a whole vibe and I adore them. The slice of life parts were a nice counterpoint to the political tension in the plot, too. I was shaking through the latter part of the story until the end! Asher’s route is so sweet~ I simply had to spam my friend with messages, upon which she replied that Asher acts/speaks like her boyfriend 😅 she thinks Asher’s adorable ngl his route really reminds me of how some parents in my culture disapprove of their kids’ partners and it’s a whole gauntlet just to get them to accept the relationship hdgdjs

Also, you are definitely not a mere charlatan from the county fair, as I was rather shocked to find that Clemence is the spitting-image of my own former professor. They have similar subjects and personalities and both use the term prep work 😭

Sorry for rambling! I’m quite excited for your next work, hope you have a good time!

Oh gossssh this is so lovely to hear, thank you so so much! I appreciate the kind comments massively and I'm over the moon that you enjoyed the game. That's so funny about your teacher too!

I really enjoyed writing the scenes where the characters hung out together - I ended up adding quite a few during the beta testing stage because I wanted them to feel like they were interacting over time 💚 so I'm really happy that you liked that side of it too!
