#he died and she reincarnated him in a world she will never be able to exist in

[cosmic-d1ce]

HC that q!Phil would be a lot more into the whole love triangle thing but he's already in love with someone

He doesn't know who it is he just knows he is in love, utterly devoted, he could not imagine loving anyone else

But Kristin literally doesn't exist here, she will never be on the island, they will never love each other in this life. Phil doesn't know this. He has no idea that he's looking for someone he will never meet

SV scenario where Shen Jiu is also Shen Yuan's Meimei.

Trans egg SJ never got to examine her gender identity very much in her first life. What with all the enslavement, abuse (given as well as received), misunderstandings, betrayals, dismemberment, and death, there was far too much for her to ever come to terms with a set of concepts she'd never really had the luxury to entertain. By the time Shen Jiu was a peak lord, the Shen Qingqiu persona was locked in, and any dreams of a different life or inclinations to the contrary of her role were ruthlessly quashed by SJ herself.

But when SJ finally dies and her soul is free to reincarnate (taking a few more memories than usual along for the ride), she has mixed feelings about being born as the youngest daughter of a wealthy family.

The mixed feelings don't actually last long, though after a while she starts to wonder why the fates would grant her a reprieve? Maybe remembering her past life is her punishment, because it's certainly the worst part of her new situation. Her parents are indulgent, her older brothers all dote on her and spoil her, and when she tests limits she's only gently rebuked if she gets rebuked at all. Not only is she allowed to wear fine dresses and look pretty, she's expected to (actually the expectation does chafe, a bit). But even when she uses foul language, skips classes, reads controversial books, and commits myriad other tiny rebellions, no real retribution ever comes of it.

Even despite everything, after some years Shen Jiu starts to become... not complacent, but perhaps calmer would be a better description. She has a stable future handed to her on a silver platter. Very few things remind her of her past, either. She can read books about snotty highborn lords getting railed by werewolves as readily as classics of literature or academic papers on science, business, culture, politics, or whatever else takes her fancy. Her family doesn't even put demands on her to marry, despite some of her mother's hints in that direction. For the first time, Shen Jiu has a life where it seems like she can't fail, she can only succeed however much she wants to. It's like having nowhere to go but up, except without the part about hitting rock bottom.

A foolish set of assumptions, in the end. There's always something to lose.

When Shen Yuan suddenly dies, Shen Jiu recognizes the sinister hand of the same entity which oversaw her own reincarnation. One which had visited her dreams quite recently, trying to tempt her back to her first life with offers of being able to change the past. It wasn't even difficult to deny it. Shen Jiu doesn't believe she could change what happened, and she doesn't really want to try. Her one regret is what happened to that person, the one who died so horribly while rushing to her rescue, and even that, she doesn't know how she would change (because she still doesn't know why he bothered in the first place).

But how dare the System God take the silliest and softest of her brothers to try and fix her accursed first life?! Luo Binghe will eat him alive! Cang Qiong will mistake him for a demon or a madman or worse, and throw him into some cell somewhere, if they don't just kill him outright!

Shen Meimei tries to negotiate with the System, but it tells her the window of opportunity for her to go back instead has passed. Smarmy piece of shit. There's nothing she can do without supernatural help, however, except bide her time and wait for another "window of opportunity". It's in the midst of this that she discovers PIDW, and its (terrible) account not only of the broad strokes of her first life and death, but of what came afterwards. That little beast really wrecked the world, huh? And all those women, too. She's never been more grateful to have not figured herself out in her first life. But at least with access to this information, she can try and prepare more. (She's suspicious of who actually wrote this account as well -- is Luo Binghe himself in this world? Better to leave it now, in that case, before he inevitably makes another bid for power and destroys everything in his wake all over again!)

When the System finally gives her an opportunity to go back (as herself, or rather "Bonus Epilogue Side Character -- Shen Qingqiu's Mysterious Little Sister!") she is braced for any number of outcomes. Shen Yuan could be dead. He could be imprisoned. He could have had his limbs all cut off. He could be stuffed into a pickle jar. He could be hiding or on the run somewhere. Hopefully, he'll be hiding behind that person, confused and distraught but still intact thanks to the sect leader's guilt-driven sense of obligation. Most likely if the same number of years have passed since Shen Yuan "left", he's already been destroyed by Luo Binghe and all Shen Jiu will be able to do is avenge him. But she has some ideas of how to kill the beast, so, she will.

Of course, what she finds is nothing she expected, and almost even worse.

Luo Binghe married her brother?!

Death is too good for him! Shen Jiu's going to skin him alive!!!

au where the peak lords reincarnate as Bingge's quarter demon spawn

saw a post (https://www.tumblr.com/cursed-angelic-art/686056254886559744/do-you-think-mobei-jun-is-the-one-playing-father) talking abt if mbj "played dad" for og lbh's army of kids and-

au where the peak lords reincarnate as Bingge's quarter demon spawn

they all have different mothers but are all the same age- were born the same year-

even sqq, who's nyy's favorite kid (because he reminds her of her shizun, during the good days before lbh became a disciple) despite not being her kid (she herself never had any kids, which doesn't bother her as much because neither did lmy or shl and they're the head wives still so) (in the same vein, Liu Mingyans favorite kid is the one who behaves most like her late brother)

This world's version of Shen Yuan, however, was born as the son of one of mbj's advisors, before said advisor and his family died in a tragic accident. so he was adopted by mobei-jun and shang qinghua at the ripe old age of barely a few weeks old.

His name: Mo Yuan, named after an old friend of Shang Qinghua's from his secret pre-transmigration life (In this world, SY is not a transmigrator.... maybe he is a reincarnation.... but there's no real way to tell, he sure doesn't remember anything)

So he's an ice demon. looks like Shen Yuan but everything about him is like 30 shades more MBJ. he adores his parents, and his parents adore him, and because of this mutual adoration he has successfully grown up completely secure in his status as their child in spite of fully knowing of his adopted status.

This being said, there are very few individuals who also know this fact, because since the transition was so fast (and because Shang Qinghua knows stuff, and Mobei-Jun knows he knows stuff) they just bullshit it and say that Mo Yuan is a magical plant baby who was born as a full demon in spite of technically being a half demon because of magic plant bullshit.

He looks enough like shang qinghua to make it believable anyways, so it's fine.

Mo Yuan and Shang Qinghua also have a really weird relationship where MY at some point got into Shang Qinghua's writings (only the age appropriate stuff.... he found out about the porn at a later age) and violently hated it, but Shang Qinghua found it:

A. funny that his son was so violently opinionated and

B. thought it was important that his son be able to have an outlet for these emotions so he honestly encouraged it.

So now they have a really close parental relationship but also are kind of friendly-close because when Mo Yuan found some of SQH's writings, he immediately was like "oh my god Baba you suck???? at writing????? How?????? You are a scribe???? This is so awful???? Baba, you could do this better, and this better, and- what the hell, take this out, oh my god..."

Also, his name in the au is 漠垣 Mo Yuán meaning North[ern] Wall, but his courtesy name is 漠 雪峰 Mo Xuefēng, meaning North[ern] Snow[y] Peak.

However, he is beloved by much of the palace staffers, who have watched him grow up much closer than any of Luo Bingge's children, who mostly grow up in the relative isolation of their courtyards and palaces and palace wings, so he is referred to by many of them by his nickname, 雪花 Xuehua, meaning snowflake.

So anyways, he meets + kinda grows up alongside many of the peak lords because he grows up spending a lot of time in the palace by virtue of his dads being, well, Mobei Jun and Shang Qinghua.

Shang Qinghua and Liu Mingyan, shippers prime and book club buddies into this universe (though Mo Yuan staunchly ignores all of LMY's writings because his face is wayyy too thin for that) immediately sees the way that the various children of Luo Bingge climb over each other in desperate attempts to charm and woo the chilly Mo Xuefeng...

and maybe eventually, how one son of Luo Bingge looks at him and how Mo Yuan looks back.

(I haven't decided what I want the pairing to be here.... oopsies y'all, come to y'alls own conclusions ig lmaooo)

[cypionate60mg]

I hope this is too heavy but I had plans to detransition then commit suicide because of how poorly my trans friends (who are mostly fem and nb) were treating me, making comments on how T made me uglier and they no longer felt comfortable around me since I transitioned. With this going on for years and seeing the uptick in hate towards trans masculine people with similar rhetoric I felt like it was a waste of my life and I would never be able to “fix how disgusting I made myself” but seeing your blog actually legitimately saved me because it reminded me that we are still wanted and desirable to people. Thank you so much.

I'd like to tell you about somebody very important to me, anon. His name was Earl, and it's been nearly ten years since he passed away.

I used to see Earl every winter, just visiting his side of the family. He was older than me by more than a decade, but we had a special kinship. Something I was too young to articulate or even notice.

We usually sat in the snow by a hodag statue while we caught up. For context, the hodag was a hoax cryptid invented by a timberman in the 1800s. Rows of horns, some scales, coarse hair, short legs. Like a half-reptilian minotaur. Not only was it apparently really fucking ugly, but it also smelled like a musky corpse.

The first reported encounter with the hodag ended with its defeat by dynamite. In some versions of its lore, the hodag was a reincarnation of abused livestock. In others, it was meek and melancholy, wanting only to live in the woods, undisturbed.

The last time I saw Earl, he was very withdrawn. We sat for a while in front of that statue, just silently basking in its monstrous disfigurement. I think we watched Napoleon Dynamite afterward. I remember feeling comforted that he could at least laugh, but maybe it was nothing more than a reflex at that point.

He died by suicide not long after. He didn't say anything about who he really was, just that he couldn't bear it any longer. For so long, I was unable to explain what it was that we had shared. Me and him. Him and the hodag. Me and the hodag. All three of us.

I didn't learn that he wanted to be called Earl until years later, when my grandma mentioned it off-handedly. She was the only person he ever came out to, and she told me after I came out to her. As far as I know, Earl never even considered HRT. He was afraid of what it would turn him into. That's why he tried to become nothing at all.

But that's not really how it works. Once you've come into existence, there can never be a world without some trace of you in it. We are living on a post-you planet. You as in Earl, and you as in you. By making yourself known to me, you have invested part of your selfhood in the vast, interconnected matrix of the world. Good choice.

So in the same way that this blog is for people to outsource their tenuous selfhood and need to be desired, let this particular post be specifically for you. Our own personal hodag statue, maybe, where all ugliness and beauty cohabitate as one indistinguishable thing. Know that there is something for you here. A digital landmark you can visit in times of loneliness.

I love you, anon. I'll always want you here. You can message me privately if you ever want to talk.

[anonymous-dentist]

Or: Once upon a time, a man turned himself into a demon for the sake of his husband's soul. It's been a long time since then.

-

Demons don't really need to sleep, but Roier likes to do it, anyway. It's relaxing, and it reminds him of better times back when he was human and his husband wasn't... well.

Well.

Jaiden doesn't get it, but that's because she's never known what dreams are. Because demons don't sleep and, unlike Roier, she was born a demon. Her and Bobby both were, leaving Roier as the odd one out.

...That's fine! Their loss! Because sleep? Great. Dreams? Even better.

Because, in Roier's dreams, he sees him.

-

(They're in bed, because that was Roier's favorite place to be. He's on his back with his husband laying next to him tracing patterns into his shirt with one finger. Rain patters on the ceiling, and some leaks through into the kitchen and lands in a pot placed conspicuously in the middle of the floor. Their blankets are warm, and so are their hearts.)

-

Roier has been married for almost 500 years. His husband has been dead for 499 of those years, give or take a few months.

They were never legally married; that just wasn't something you did back then. Didn't matter, though, because they wouldn't have been able to afford a wedding even if they could get married.

They were farmers- well, Roier was a farmer. His husband just liked sitting and watching Roier work shirtless in the fields. He'd sit with a pitcher of water waiting by his side should Roier need it, and he'd watch shamelessly for hours at a time, and he was horrible.

And now he's dead.

-

But, see, the first thing Roier asked when arriving in Hell was whether or not the Devil was cool with gay marriage.

"Uh," said Jaiden- and this was their first real conversation post-demoning, okay? So she obviously wasn't as cool as she is now. "Maybe? I don't know. I'd have to ask?"

"Could you?" Roier had asked, freshly deceased and still bleeding from the temples where his horns had just finished growing in. "I'm expecting my husband."

"Right," Jaiden tensely replied. "Your husband."

"Yeah," Roier said, and he tried saying his husband's name, but it just. Wouldn't... what was it again?

-

But that's fine, being a demon is a pretty sweet gig. All Roier has to do is go up to the Mortal Realm and do a few jobs for a few witches, corrupt a few souls. In return, he gets badass magical abilities and immortality.

More importantly, he gets his husband's soul. As soon as he reincarnates back in the Mortal Realm, and as soon as he dies again, he goes to Hell with all of the memories from his previous life with Roier intact, and they finally get their happily ever after.

It's what he would've wanted. Hell might sound terrible, but it's no worse than the Mortal Realm, and its public transportation is actually better, somehow. The busses all run on time, and the subway is free.

More importantly, Roier's husband was the one collecting all those books on summoning demons and making deals with demons and communing with the Devil. Roier just... completed his work for him.

It's the least he could've done, and it was his last chance at seeing him again.

-

Fuck, but what was his name?

-

(They're in the fields, because that was Roier's husband's favorite place to be. Roier is shirtless and bent over a row of seeds that are going to grow up to be corn in a few months, and his husband is on the ground under the apple tree watching him shamelessly. It's sunny out, and there's the smell of smoke in the air.)

-

It's been 500 years since Roier's husband died, and Roier has spent that time trying to remember the name of his husband's killer.

Because, once upon a time, there was a farmer, and there was a witch. Ah, but witches were illegal, you see. They communed with the Devil, and they brought chaos into a world of order.

All Roier remembers is that the person who tied his husband to that pole was in all-white. Not a priest, just someone boring.

That same person was the one who lit the straw at Roier's husband's feet on fire. And they smiled doing so even as Roier dove towards the flames as if he could put them out with his bare hands.

It didn't work. Big surprise there.

-

"So the Devil's fine with you two getting married," Jaiden said after a few days of dealing with demonic bureaucracy, "but I have some bad news for you."

Roier, for the first time since Jaiden slit his throat and converted him, felt fear.

"What is it?" he asked.

She let out a breath, slow, and said, eventually, "Your husband's soul isn't here. He isn't in Heaven, either. Or in any of the other gods' realms."

Roier blinked. "What."

It was not a question.

She threw up her hands. "I don't know! It's like he just... disappeared!"

"Is that why I can't remember his name?" Roier asked. "His soul is fucking gone?"

His hands shook. Jaiden reached out and took them.

"We'll find him," she promised, kind despite her whole 'Is A Demon' thing. "Even if it takes five hundred years."

"Yeah, well, it won't," he scoffed. "I'm going to find him. He promised me a wedding."

-

Souls don't just die. They go to someplace that Roier has only ever heard of: Purgatory.

Once in Purgatory, souls get judged by the Eye of Justice. He asks them questions about their life, and they have to answer truthfully, or he'll feed them to his children.

There are a few options for what comes next.

One: they pass the Eye of Justice's judgement and are allowed to move on to whatever afterlife they believe in.

Two: they pass the Eye of Justice's judgement and are allowed to reincarnate into another life.

Three: they fail the Eye of Justice's judgement and are forcibly sent to reincarnate into the life of a bug or a blade of grass or something else boring and tortuous.

Roier got to skip out on Purgatory entirely because he took the direct line to Hell. But maybe, just maybe, if he had died regularly, he could have seen his husband in Purgatory, and they could have reincarnated together.

...Ugh. Hindsight is a bitch.

-

(Roier is visiting his grandfather when the church bells ring.

"A witch!" he hears a woman scream, and his stomach fell right into his shoes.)

-

It's been 500 years, and Roier has gotten a bit of a reputation among modern witches for being one of the easier demons to work with. He'll help with their problems in exchange for information on a certain lost soul: if they hear from his husband's soul, they summon Roier. Or he'll help in exchange for some book recommendations for his son; Hell has many things, but it does not have a public library.

He isn't a particularly strong demon despite what his only angel friend, Etoiles, might say. Etoiles is just a silly little guy, don't listen to him!

-

(He never even got to say goodbye. They locked eyes as the flames rose, and Roier screamed his name one last time, and he hasn't been able to feel anything since.)

-

Jaiden was the first demon that Roier had ever met.

He was on the floor surrounded by the ashes that used to be his home. His husband's books were in charred tatters around him, but one managed to survive the fire. It was almost supernatural, but, like, yeah. Demon book, of course it was fireproof.

He was bleeding. He had offered his blood, and his soul, to the demon in exchange for his husband's life back.

She sat on the floor with him.

"I can't do that," she gently told him. "Demons can do a lot of things, but we can't perform miracles."

Roier's throat burned: smoke inhalation and grief.

"Oh," he said, small-sounding.

"But I can get his soul to Hell," she offered. "In exchange... you have to go to Hell."

His answer was immediate: "Yes."

She blinked. "I wasn't finished?"

"The answer is still 'Yes'. As long as I'm with him again, I don't care what happens to me."

"You'll have to turn your life over to Satan. You can't just go to Hell. That isn't how it works."

Roier shrugged. "That's fine."

Jaiden gawked for a moment before nodding and standing and extending her hand.

He took it.

And then he died.

-

But it's been 500 fucking years, and now Roier is being summoned by another witch for another deal. He'll probably have to help supply additional magic for some big important spell, that's basically all he's used for these days. He's more than a battery, thanks! He's a demon, he should be out, like, stealing souls and shit.

He goes, anyway, because he has to. If he doesn't, his contract is void, and he won't get to see his husband because he himself will be sent to Purgatory to be judged and, really, he does not want to deal with that. (The Eye of Judgement is fucking creepy, okay?)

There's the familiar pull at Roier's core, and the familiar blinding burst of light as he's yanked into the Mortal Realm, and the familiar smell of brimstone and evil that follows him wherever he goes outside of Hell.

The room is filled with blood red smoke as he appears- his trademark.

(The most important thing to a demon these days isn't evil, it's marketability.)

The witch in front of him, nothing more than a shadow hidden behind the smoke, coughs and wheezes and fans their hand in front of their face.

They're kneeled on the ground in front of a pentagram drawn in... what the fuck is this, strawberry jam?

Roier crouches and sticks a finger into one of the circle's markings. Careful not to break the circle, he pulls his finger out and licks the red stuff on it.

Shocked, he looks at the witch, and he asks, "Dude, what the fuck? Is this blood?"

What happened to chalk!?

The witch coughs at him indignantly. "I needed to make sure I got someone powerful."

Roier rolls his eyes and plops fully onto the ground, criss-cross applesauce. He wipes his blood-covered fingertip on his jeans. Newbies...

"Well, you got me," he says, humble to the core. (He may be a super evil demon now, but he isn't a dick.) "So... what's up? What do you need?"

The smoke in the room slowly starts dissipating, revealing the witch to be a man in what have to be the previous day's clothes. His head is still ducked, and his face is still hidden in his elbow as he coughs, but Roier could almost call him objectively handsome. Shame Roier's married, this guy would be fun to mess around with.

"I need to- fuck-"

The witch coughs one last time before finally managing to get a lungful of clean air. He raises his head, and Roier finally gets a look at his face, and-

"I need your help," the witch says, voice rough and rugged and absolutely heartbreaking. "I need to kill someone, and I need your help to do it."

"Okay," Roier agrees. He doesn't have a choice, being a summoned demon and all, but he doesn't think he could turn this witch down at all, because...

-

("Cellbit!" Roier screams.

He can see his face in his husband's glassy eyes, and then he sees nothing but the flames as they rise over Cellbit's head and drown him whole.)

-

The man with his husband's face frowns, suspicious.

"What," he asks, "just like that?"

Roier grins, fangs and all. "Just like that."

After all, he doesn't think he'll need any payment for this one.

He's finally found what he's been looking for.

[wolfnight2012]

Yes, Nandor fell to his knees when the Baron dumped "Guillermo's" body in the foyer. (In Front Of his entire family [sans Colin Robinson] and the Baron!) As if he could no longer bring himself to care about who saw him break down/how weak he might be perceived

Yes, cradled (what he thought was) Guillermo's dead body

Yes, his little half-sobbed "Oh, no" was very telling & heartbreaking

But let's talk about his positively distraught cries when he thought Laszlo was gonna desecrate Guillermo's corpse???

Because that's Guillermo to him. As in, that's still Guillermo to Nandor, even as a corpse.

And that's not something we see often with vampires in the wwdits world

Vampires here seem to simply accept death & move on. Once someone/something is considered dead, it is time to move on

Our main characters do it with the Baron. He gets fried to a crisp, they bury him, say a few half-hearted words, and move on (he's Nadja's sire! He had a trist with both her and Laszlo. He's like, their unofficial superior/boss, in that he can order them to take over North America & just like, move into their home?)

They do it with Colin Robinson, twice! Both when he fakes his death in 2x05 (simply bury him & say a few words) and to a lesser(ish) extent when he "dies" on his 100th birthday (few words, few sentimental touches & thats it, we move on)

Nadja does it with her reincarnated lover, able to drop him/forget about him the moment he dies

iirc, the only instances that don't follow this pattern is when the dead person isn't considered truly dead (yet)

Nandor wastes no real time grieving Gail, because she's not dead dead (yet) he can fix her! She's temporarily not alive at worst.

Topher, similarly, can be revived (or so they think) so he's not dead dead either, because he can be fixed. Once its clear he can't be truly fixed, they can easily discard & forget about him.

Young Colin Robinson isn't dead dead either. His adult self is alive & well (and back) Laszlo is simply grieving the fatherhood/son that only exists in his memories.

Guillermo is dead dead. Either because vampirism only takes immediately after death or because the Baron would simply kill him again, turning him into a vampire isn't an option. (And I like to think they learned their lesson with the necromancer/zombie!Topher)

Guillermo is dead dead & everyone reacts accordingly: the Baron chills out immediately, even feeling a little bad (not for Guillermo's death, he was only a familiar after all) for causing a fellow vampire/one of the vampires he's arguably closer to pain

Nadja (who was fighting & scheming & panicked to save him) declares he should be buried before he starts to stink. She might care about Guillermo & consider him family (even if she'd never say those actual words) but the body on the floor isn't Guillermo anymore, it's just a corpse that needs disposing.

Meanwhile, Nandor has accepted Guillermo's death; he's not planning on how to revive him/bring him back.

Guillermo is dead dead.

But Nandor is still protective of what he should only consider to be a corpse now. That's still Guillermo to him.

He cradles him up off the floor. He gently brushes his hair back. He's distraught at the thought of Laszlo cutting him up, even in death.

Anyways, there's zero chance of Nandor trying to kill Guillermo in earnest. That man could not handle the emotional toll

[semisolidmind]

How does the Modern Reincarnation AU work in the Twice as Bad AU? Especially with MK and everything? I know it would probably be completely unlikely that Peaches would get the opportunity to die with her two monkey hubbies always around her, but what if her dying happened on the journey? Like her death was something that happened while the monkey demons were restrained and couldn't do anything about it, causing them to wait the couple hundred years until she pops up again?

(Also, I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am for your creativity and art! You're awesome. Hope you have a great day! 💙)

oh man oh boy (also thank you skye, you're making my day :))

(so both monkeys have wrist and ankle cuffs in this au, and the cuffs work like a less harmful version of the circlets. anytime reader says a certain command, they throw the demon wearing them to the ground. i imagine that the moment reader dies, the cuffs fall off.)

it's utterly silent when they hit the ground.

the boys are distraught. they're inconsolable. theyre angry. whatever demon caused reader's death will be torn apart peice by peice, tortured until death. and then...

...nothing. the monkey demons shut down beyond an occasional terse word. they're still technically bound to the journey by the circlets and the bodhisattva's command, and so they continue on. they only speak to their companions when necessary. macaque spends most of his time in the shadows, and wukong walks behind the group. they take out their sadness and rage on the myriad demons that get in their way. the journey concludes with wukong and macaque denying their enlightenment and going home to flower fruit mountain.

their conquests become especially brutal for the next couple hundred years.

–––

centuries later, mk comes into the world. wukong finds him wandering the mountain, and adopts him as his own. macaque is an uncle figure to the boy, helping in his training and teaching a different worldview. mk grows up knowing very little about humans beyond what his monkey family tells him. regardless, he's curious and wants to know more.

the two elder monkey demons are jaded, and their resentment for the celestial realm and humanity has only grown. though, they'll both slip into wistfulnesss occasionally, telling mk about reader and what she was like. he heard plenty of stories about her growing up, and he always finds himself wishing he could have met her. it's the only time mk will hear his caretakers speak positively about a human.

when mk asks to go into the city, wukong refuses. he doesn't want his son around any mortals, and were it not for his "infinite mercy," that wretched city would be dust by now. it's only when macaque agrees to go with mk that wukong relents. macaque, who's somewhat more knowledgeable about modern humans than his brother, tells mk what he knows about how the mortal world works. mk doesn't get the chance to make his friends until later in this au, when he's allowed to make short solo excursions into the city to buy groceries.

he's taking too long on a run when it happens.

mk has encountered mei, and thinking the dragon heir was trying to start a fight (given the monkey demons' history with dragons), mk battles her. while the two have their brawl that eventually ends in tentative friendship, macaque waits at a rendezvous point.

when mk doesn't show after twenty minutes, macaque lets out a long-suffering sigh and sets out across the roof tops and alleyways to search for him. the kid, for all his strengths, has never been good at time management. after a while, macaque is able to track him to a little noodle shop in the downtown area.

the dark-furred simian watches from a nearby rooftop as mk and...a disguised dragon? girl? go inside the shop. macaque melds into the shadows, following them in through the half-shuttered doorway. the shop isn't anything to write home about; simple decor, simple noodles, a suspiciously familiar pig demon manning the kitchen, a woman managing the register—

macaque stops cold.

it only takes a second for macaque to get a read on the woman's soul. and upon closer inspection, she looks familiar too.

heartbreakingly familiar. same hair, same eyes... same smile, aimed at mk as she welcomes him. this woman—she's their reader, reincarnated. she has to be. mk makes a joke, something about monkeying around, and the girl laughs; the same joyful sound he remembers from all those centuries ago. it's the same. she's the same.

a shadowy tear makes its way down his incorporeal face. she's here. alive.

he has to tell wukong.

Infinity Masterlist

GOJO SAYU laughed. His eyes dripping with tears, red and puffy. It was a stark contrast to the maniacal laughter escaping his grinning lips as he struggled against his constraints.

"She belongs to me! In every life she belongs to me!"

When Gojo died as Seiji in his last life, he couldn't help but to be overrun with guilt. But he didn't have a choice. Y/n married some man that wasn't him.

And in this new life, y/n was but a sweet little baker. Her cheeks were rosy. Her hair curled. Her tits looked like they needed a good grope too in the pretty (color) kimono she always wore.

The moment that Gojo Sayu saw her, his memories immediately came flooding back. He didn't stop himself from running up to her. Grabbing her. Holding her close. She was slightly older than him, he could tell. And as she hit his arm and told him to let her go, he didn't. He held on that much tighter.

Even when her own children came running out of the bakery and started hitting at his legs.

He understood where Gojo Seiji was coming from.

It was time to start over.

AGAIN.

"Gojo Sayu, for murdering the l/n family, you have been sentenced to death."

He grinned. His sick and twisted mind spinning as the rope around his neck dug tighter into his skin, his flesh.

"Any last words."

"I can't wait to see her again...and next time, she'll only be with me!"

The words of a mad man.

The Gojo clan were disappointed. Disgusted, to say the least. To think one of their own, next clan leader no less, was able to fall to such depravity.

The current leader raised his arm and signaled for the rope to be cut.

Little did they know, he was lost to depravity a few lives ago, and as the rope snapped Gojo Sayu's neck, his laughter still haunted them all.

And it haunted GOJO SAYAMI too as he opened his eyes. The sun hitting his irises as he squinted.

"You're awake!"

He felt someone bend over him and block out the sun's rays and place a gentle kiss upon his lips. A small smile soon forming there as he raised a hand to cup the back of her head, deepening the kiss.

Breaking the kiss suddenly, she leant back and Gojo was blessed with her angelic features.

Y/n.

"Did you sleep well?"

The question brought him to the present. Where his head laid in her lap as the two basked in the sun in a flower field, far from any prying eyes.

"Mmm, it was a good nap, but I had a terrible dream."

He reached up and caressed her cheek. Her eyebrows furrowing.

"Do you..want to talk about it?"

It was so cute watching her worry over him, the sight caused him to grin.

"No," he finally answered as he thought about the dream. About the memories of his past lives, "its just a silly dream. Nothing to worry yourself over sweet girl."

"Are you sure?"

He watched her worried face, a smirk soon forming his lips as an idea took over, "well... maybe there is something you could do to make me feel better," he hummed out as sat up to pat his lap. The action caused her to blush, "Sayami! We- we aren't married yet! We can't do that stuff..."

He gave his best puppy dog eyes, an innocent facade overtaking his features as his lips formed a pout, "I just wanted you to sit in my lap, promise."

She eyed him a moment, suspicion raking her brain before she relented. She never could say no to him, and he always took advantage over that fact. (Not like he could say no to her either.)

When she finally plopped down into his lap, his arms were quick to snake around her waist. His chin nuzzling into the crook of her neck, causing her to laugh softly.

"Something funny, sweet girl?"

She placed her hands over his. Her fingers lightly tracing his knuckles, "its nothing, you just seem a bit more clingy today is all."

He hummed, "I'm just trying to show i love you."

That and because I remembered everything... I still can't believe my past self went crazy and got himself executed. What an idiot.

He wasn't sure if he was calling himself an idiot or not since him and his past selves were technically the same person. The same soul.

Well, whatever.

"Besides, it feels like we finally got what we deserve you know?"

She smiled fondly. Her fingers tracing small shapes on the back of his hands, "yeah .. with me being a commoner, I never would of imagined that your father would of let me get engaged with you. I'm so happy that we get to be together, Sayami."

That wasn't what Gojo was referring to. He was actually meaning how long it took for them to get together. It's been litteral centuries after all. The two of them have already been through a number of lives. And finally finally Gojo feels like him and y/n are getting the happy ending they deserved.

But y/n didn't need to know that. She didn't need to know of all the trouble he went through to finally get here.

Because it didn't matter anymore. Not with her sitting on his lap so prettily. Which, of course, caused his little dirty thought from earlier come into play. His hands breaking their hold on her stomach and carefully maneuvering to her waist.

"Sa- ?!"

She was quickly cut off when he pressed down, his now hard, clothed cock pressing against her ass.

"Sayami?!"

"What," he said with a chuckle, "we've done this before. You know," he leant forward where his breath tickled her ear, "where I hump that pretty cunt of yours and feel how soaked your panties get. And get to hear you beg for my fingers~. Granted, what I wouldn't give to have those tight walls of yours snug on my cock, but oh well, its like you said, we aren't married yet," he moved his lips down her neck. Teeth nipping and bitting, mouth sucking, tongue licking.

"We- we're outside though."

He could feel her resolve crumble as she squirmed, and before he could say anything else to entice her, she had turned in his grasp, her legs drapping over his sides as she ground against his erection. Her mewls and moans echoing into the air as she placed her hands on his shoulders, fingers gripping the fabric when she pressed her pelvis down.

"S- sayami~"

He helped her grind against him, his own hands gripping her hips as he forced her to move and and forth, against his hardening length that pressed tight in his trousers.

"Shit! Its in moments like these where I really want to fuck you dumb!"

He grunted and moaned, his forehead pressing against her own as pleasure mixed together.

She whined as she tried to quicken thr pace, the sight causing him to smirk as he took in her flushed features.

"Close?"

She nodded wordlessly, and he couldn't help but to groan at the sight. Oh what he wouldnt give to finally see her come undone on his cock instead. But whatever, he could wait.

He lived many lives after all. A few more days wouldn't hurt. Or maybe it would...

TCF SOULMATE AU

So in this au

Soulmates are determined by choice

so yes you can pick a wrong soulmate

but thankfully their is a failswitch but lets not get into that

This Au is about a blessed person and a cursed person

Cale chose Alberu in highschool

then they died.

and lived again as a count and prince

and again as two girls

and again in a war

His blessing is the ability to always chose Alberu that was what he wanted

yet....Alberu never looked at him

never chose him

never answered him

His soul without his soulmate weeped

and felt its owner grief

wiped away the memories

and started anew

Meanwhile

Alberu wanted to scream

HE CHOSE CALE

Alberu chose Cale far longer then Cale chose alberu

but this was his curse

to never answer your soulmate

to never chose

he was stuck in a glass box in his mind

with no way out

but like it was filled with too much pressure it broke

and he was free

but Cale already forgot

So now Alberu spends the rest of his lifetimes choosing Cale and hoping he remembers

through high school

through being royalty

through being a girl(its an otome game world)

through war

and more

-------------------end here if you don't want ending spoilers------------

Soul mates need each other to live

thats why theres a fail safe b/c if its a bad soulmate it will slowly kill you as your souls are connected

ALberu chose Cale before Cale chose Alberu so he was alright without him before

But All the times Cale chose Alberu are gone

and Alberu is dying

He knows Cale will be fine

but he selfishly wishes to keep being his soulmate even in death

so when they got reincarnated into a world of magic

he expiremented

and now with his time up

he connected his soul with Cale's soul

and Cale who was sick b/c Alberu never chose him this life

got better

but he weeped for days without knowing why

it wasn't until the next life he remembered his first

and his second

and his third

and the 100s after

Alberu did chose him!

But Cale could not find Alberu

he went to the place of the women who first placed that cursed and blessing on them

and she smiled

"Your soulmates soul...is right there" she said pointing her skinny finger to the place his soul was

"That isn't possible"

"of course it is darling."

"what does that mean"

"You can go be with anyone. or no one you'll live either way"

"Where is Alberu"

"Dear the boy has no soul. Even if he reincarnated he died a long time ago"

"What"

"Oh yes that poor dear curse has changed instead of never being able to chose you you both are now fated to never be able to be each other's soulmates"

"Alberu is gone"

"For you of course he was dying already his soul was so broken"

"But he will still be reincarnated?"

"Maybe the longest he will last is 10 years without a soul-he won't be the same no one ever is"

"Where is he"

"He is dead dear what ever do you mean?"

"WHERE IS HE" Cale said with so much venom the lady stepped back

she smiled figuring out what he wanted and told him where he was

Cale ran to get to him

and he finally arrived

step

step

step

step

and sat down

in front of a grave

From then on

Cale lived his lives with a grave as a soulmate

--------------------------------------------------------------------

thats it thats all my brain could create will add more in comments if I have anything else to add

tell me if you have any questions

cuz im 100% sure I lost some info in my brain while writing this which I was supposed to write down for this AU

[littlemisssquiggles]

In today’s episode, Jaune revealed that Lewis and Alyx were actually residents of Vacuo Kingdom (surprise, surprise) during a time before the Great War. And since we know that Lewis actually returned from the Ever After, it make wonder something curious.

If Lewis was the author of the Girl Who Fell Through the World fairy-tale then it would make perfect sense as to why he omitted himself from the written adventures in the Ever After and chose to make Alyx the protagonist. It makes sense since, unlike Lewis, Alyx never returned home and basically “died” in the Ever After.

So my assumption is that Lewis must’ve maintained his sister’s story through his story about her. That way Alyx’s legacy was able to live on in some shape or form despite the real Alyx practically ceasing to exist after never returning home.

Since Jaune was shown to still be have some qualms over his time in the Ever After, it got me thinking.

What if…Jaune were to (somehow) discover the original journal of Lewis which he had used to record his experience in the Ever After in the Vacuo archives?

What if…Jaune were to meet someone closely connected to Lewis and Alyx while in Vacuo? Like a surviving member of their family bloodline still thriving in modern Remnant.

What if… Headmaster Theodore was that surviving member? I know the main popular theory is that Lewis was one of Ozma’s reincarnations but imagine if Lewis wasn’t an Ozma reincarnation but Theo’s ancestor instead?

I haven’t read either of the RWBY After the Fall books so I’m not familiar with Headmaster Theodore in terms of characterization or like what his backstory is.

That being said, I do, however like the idea of the final maiden being connected to Theo in some shape or form.

For me, I like the prospect of the Summer Maiden being either Theo’s daughter or younger sister or cousin or niece or some important person to him as she’s probably the only family he has left.

Again, I don’t know anything about Theo but thus far, none of the other headmasters of the huntsmen academies have had any reason to be protective of their respective maiden outside of a moral obligation as per Ozpin’s instructions.

To make Theo stand out more, I think it would be a nice change of pace if Theo, the final headmaster, were to share an actual connection to the final  maiden as she is a beloved relative of his.

Why bring this up? Well I like the idea of Jaune forming a close relationship with another Maiden candidate. Maybe he could even fall in love with the Summer Maiden.

Technically, Jaune hasn’t had a legit love interest since Pyrhha and I don’t know about ya’ll but…after six seasons (and half a movie), I’m kind of tired of being reminded of Arkos, ya’ll.

It was the Ship that was meant to be that never got to be because Writers decided to kill it off early.

Don’t get me wrong. I love Arkos. Arkos was a great ship that was gone too soon.

To (finally) close the chapter on Jaune moving on from Pyrhha (since even after all of his growth, I still don't think he's over her as the show keeps constantly bringing up whenever they can)...

I think it actually might be cute if Jaune does end up being romantically involved with the Summer Maiden who he actually succeeds in protecting from Cinder when she comes to steal her powers.

I’ve grown tired of new maidens showing up in the story just to die for the sake of the powers being passed onto a main character.

Since Summer is the last maiden, it would be nice if Summer is the one to stop the cycle of original maiden deaths and she actually gets to live on even after opening the vault.

As much as I like WhiteKnight as a ship, I honestly gave up on it becoming canon after V5 dropped and nothing else was done to further develop Weiss and Jaune’s relationship as a prospective romance.

Yeah sure, V9 tossed us a crumb of Weiss being attracted to Jaune in his more mature Rusted Knight persona.

But after further deliberation, I’ve concluded that that little nugget of hope isn’t enough to get me back on the horse of hoping for a romance between these two.

Do you know what would actually be pretty wild?

If Jaune fell in love with the Summer Maiden who is not only a red-head (like Pyrhha) but is also a descendent of Lewis who is the author of the Girl Who Fell Through the World and thus a relative of Alyx.

And unlike Alyx and Pyrhha who Jaune failed to protect/help/save, Jaune is able to do just that with the Summer Maiden by protecting her from Cinder and thus, the two are able to live happily ever after.

That would actually be wild.

Not saying this would become true in the canon. I'm just tossing it out into the RWBY FNDM ether as a food for thought.

[slyvester101]

Atla au where Church is the Avatar but his connection to the spirit world is fucky because the Director (who is his dad in this au, think Lord Ozai in terms of evil, abusive dad) experimented on him when he found out he was the avatar to discovery why he was able to reincarnate and see if he could do the same for his dead wife.

In order to protect young Church from the abuse he's facing and to keep his spiritual connections intact in case the director cuts it off, the previous avatars decide to all inhabit Church's body. This obviously causes a lot of chaos within Church's mind as all the avatars mix and mash together in order to fit in Church's head and confuses all the spirits since they now have Church's memories mixed with their own and now they all believe that they are Church/are alive.

The director is obviously fascinated by this occurrence since it's not like when the avatar state where Church is imbued with all the knowledge of his previous lives to kick ass and instead is more like there's hundreds of separate "avatar states" Church can be in, all with their own specific strengths and weaknesses. (All the previous incarnations of the avatar are the fragments from RVB, Delta was an air monk turned avatar, Theta was an avatar that died at a young age, etc, etc).

Eventually, Church leaves but is being chased by his sister Carolina, who was being raised in a very Azula manner of being the best of the best with no room for failure (yes she is a firebender). He meets Tucker, a waterbender, and Caboose, a non-bender who believes with his whole heart that he is some kind of bender, and they join him on his adventure to become the avatar and take down the director and whatever corrupt shit he has going on (could be an empire, could be an illegal bender experimentation and trafficking ring) while avoiding getting roasted by his sister and her friends (the freelancers).

The reds also show up at some point (Sarge, Simmons, and Donut are all firebenders and Grif is an Earthbender) and start off as a group of bounty hunters chasing after the blues, but end up joining their gang on their shenanigans.

No, Tex is not a clone of Allison in this au, but she is a “vessel” that the director wants to use when and if he can resurrect his dead wife. No, the spirits of the avatars never leave Church, they have embedded themselves in his soul to protect him. They are just as much a part of Church as the AI fragments were in RVB and have been with him his basically his whole life.

Yes, Caboose does come to the conclusion that he is the avatar. No, you cannot convince him otherwise.

Fiance

Athanasia De Alger Obelia x GN!Reader

Tw: manipulation, obsession, yandere, reincarnation, killing of Emperor, arranged marriage, mistreating, dethronement

Povtober 2023, Day 20 [Masterlist]

When she read the Novel named 'Lovely Princess' for the first time, she fell in love with a royal background character, who was supposed to be Athanasia's lover before she died.

She absolutely loved you, searching the internet endlessly for any content containing you. Merch, fan arts, drafts, fan fics, everything.

That's why she got stunned when she found herself reincarnated as Athanasia. Athanasia, your fiance!

She was absolutely delighted, but she couldn't enjoy these feelings for long, as she had a problem related to her father. Claude De Alger Obelia, cruel Emperor and tyrant, who executed her in the first life.

That was quite a difficult predicament, as she would've loved to meet and be your fiance, but if she were to choose that option she would've ended up executed like Athanasia in her first life.

That was a tough decision to make, but her love for you was stronger than anything in the world.

So she decided to stay, and make her way into the heart of the Emperor. Everything, to be able to be with you longer.

After many years, when she was quite sure, that even if she wouldn't succeed, she wouldn't be killed, she could finally focus on you.

But time passed, way after Athanasia's meeting with you, and she still never met you. With that in mind, she decided to go to her father, with a request.

And that's how you found yourself before the Emperor and his daughter, the most important people in the Obelian Empire.

Together with your parents, to talk about arranged marriage between you two.

Claude himself was displeased at the thought of giving away his daughter like that, yet the way she begged and seemed to truly love you, who was he to deny her? He's still watching you.

When Athanasia first met you, she was mesmerized to say the least. The novel's description could never give you enough justice.

You were perfect! Marvelous! Gorgeous!

And so, she showered you with compliments, greedy of your frustrated expressions and reactions, couldn't you be any cuter?

She has to act selflessly all her life, so allow her to be greedy with you! She needs to be selfish with you! Just this once, please!

You were surprisingly pleased with such a cute princess, being your fiance, very different from her cold father.

Even if she got overbearing you always shrugged it off, maybe she hasn't gotten any attention from her cold father? Maybe she's attention starved?

These are the thoughts you were filling yourself with, as you cuddled her, and played with her hair.

Soon there wasn't any moment when she left you alone, always clinging to you. You were so good to her, you can protect her if anything happens too, right?

She's close to you for protection, she's so afraid of her father, can you help her?

Get rid of him?

The Empire would've been a better place without a cruel Emperor like him, you two would've been amazing rulers!

Won't you help her with that? Your cute and totally innocent fiance?

My mind works in mysterious ways I swear. I never planned on getting rid of Claude or making Athy a manipulator, even tho it's a yandere. Anyway, I'm definitely gonna make it longer and more detailed, maybe nsfw? Cause I already had so many ideas writing this, that it would've been a shame not to use them, take care all!💕

[harunayuuka2060]

MC: What business do you have with me, Headmage? I'm already running late for the ball.

Crowley: Please excuse my interruption, Madame. However, I have an update on why you were summoned here.

MC: Oh, you're serious? Is it interesting enough for you to bother me?

Crowley: Yes. It's actually quite significant. *guides her to the Mirror Chamber*

MC: This lousy mirror again.

Dark Mirror: I apologize for causing you such distress.

MC: It's too late. Now, what do you want to tell me?

Dark Mirror: ...

Crowley: Speak, Dark Mirror. She has to know.

Dark Mirror: As previously stated, you have a place in this world. At the very least.

MC: Yes. And I don't think you need to say it again.

Dark Mirror: The Madame wields enormous power. A power that should have died a long time ago.

MC: Let's get right to the point.

Dark Mirror: Madame, you are descended from Della Morte.

MC: Della Morte? *seems to be thinking* Go on.

Dark Mirror: A prestigious family known for their ability to manipulate souls, reincarnations, and the void.

Dark Mirror: And you, Madame, wield the Spectral dragon's power.

MC: ...

Crowley: It's easy to see now why it took me so long to discover your existence, Madame. Della Morte's records are extremely private, but thanks to the Dark Mirror, I was able to obtain this information.

MC: ...

MC: Assume that all of this nonsense is true. But do you think it's a good enough reason for you to bring me here without my permission?

Crowley and the Dark Mirror: ...

MC: Do you believe this information will make me feel better about the fact that you haven't found a way to send me home?

MC: Or are you expecting me to hold a reunion with my... extinct ancestors?

Crowley: I... I apologize, Madame...

MC: Apologies after apologies. Headmage, don't you have anything better to do?

Crowley: *sulks*

Malleus: It's been a few hours since the ball started, but the Madame hasn't been seen yet.

Lilia: Don't tell me she's going to miss her own event. I hope not.

Sebek: Should I fetch her?!

Silver: Sebek.

A random student: Look! The Dark Mirror is glowing!

MC: *steps out of it gracefully*

MC: *looks at them with such dignified manner*

Ace: *approaches her* Madame! Why are you so late?

Deuce: H-Hey! That's not a way to talk to Madame!

MC: I had to go somewhere unimportant, unfortunately.

Malleus: I see. So that's her. We should introduce ourselves, Lilia— Lilia?

Lilia: *already walking to her direction*

Silver: Fa— I mean, Lilia? Where are you going?

Sebek: Master Lilia!

MC: *turns her attention at the slight commotion*

Lilia: *starts running then tackles her*

Ace and Deuce: !!!

*Both Lilia and MC falls to the floor*

Deuce: Mama! Are you okay?!

Ace: Hey! Lilia! Why are you attacking Madame?!

MC: *groans a little*

Lilia: *sniffles*

MC: ?

Ace and Deuce: Eh?

Silver and Sebek: Lilia!

Lilia: *raised his head, looking at her with tears in his eyes, like a child who has seen his long-lost friend*

Lilia: Oookyyy!!!

MC: ...

Ace: Oooky? Is that supposed to be a name?

Lilia: *sniffles* Oooky! I thought I was never gonna see you!

Deuce: H-He's calling Madame "Oooky"?!!

MC: *frowns* That's the worst nickname I've ever heard in my entire life. And get off me.

*All of the housewardens having a small meeting in one of the rooms*

Leona: So... That's Madame's nickname?

Riddle: Please. It hasn't been confirmed yet if they know each other.

Vil: However, Lilia Vanrouge wouldn't jump off on someone unless he's familiar to them.

Idia: D-Doesn't he like startling everyone?

Malleus: That's way of Lilia being approachable.

Idia: I-If you say so...

Azul: By the way, Kalim? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with the Madame and see what's going on?

Kalim: She kicked me out.

Jamil: That's because he kept on laughing every time Lilia addressed the Madame with that nickname.

Riddle, Vil, and Leona: *frowns at him*

Kalim: Hey... But Oooky is a cute nickname, y'know...

MC: *walks into the room, together with Lilia* Definitely not, Scarabia housewarden.

Lilia: *smiling* It is, MC. Just like the old times.

Malleus: Madame, I would like to apologize on his behalf.

MC: You must be Malleus Draconia. Nice meeting you.

Lilia: He's your grandson by the way.

Malleus and MC: ...

Malleus: *looks confused*

Leona: That can't be right. What? Is Madame older than the Great Seven?

[thecarnivorousmuffinmeta]

What if, after dying at the end of Death Note, Light Yagami woke up in the body of Bella Swan just as she’s arriving in Forks?

"Ah, so this is Nothingness," Light muses to himself, having been told by Ryuk already that there is no afterlife for humans, that we each instead enter Mu, the great nothingness, and cease to exist. It's a lot more American and feminine than he expected.

Slowly, Light realizes he's actually been reincarnated. His ID tells him he's an American girl named Bella Swan, seventeen years old, from Phoenix Arizona. The year is also 2006, which oddly puts him back in time several years (Light died in 2010).

Even odder yet, he sees no signs of Kira, when Light was very much active during 2006 and had been for a few years by that point. While he knows Japan was very central to the Kira case, given it was confirmed he was in the Kanto region and thus likely Tokyo by L to the national public, America had been paying attention as had everyone else.

There wouldn't be no sign of him.

Light reluctantly has to conclude he's in a kind of parallel reality or perhaps a dream world (this dream world theory growing stronger when he learns that Bella Swan's father is the chief of police, who has similar qualities to his own father).

He's not sure how he feels about this.

Towards the end of his life he'd purposefully alienated himself from his family and then Kira had done the rest.

His father, who had always been a workaholic, became even more of one with the Kira case and then died believing Light was innocent.

Sayu was kidnapped by Mello and never the same afterwards.

His mother was left to deal with the aftermath of both his father's and now his own death. Leaving him to wonder, of course, what the task force decided to tell them of why Light didn't come home.

Now he's living someone else's life, and she's estranged from her family as well, having left the mother she'd always lived with and moving in with a father she appears to barely know.

"Am I being punished?" Light wonders to himself.

He gets to school and he's certain of it. There's some kind of yokai there, the Cullens, who look in their own way more inhuman than Ryuk. In Biology he's confronted by one and becomes certain it's intent on killing him when he has no access to any notebook and is in a much weaker, clumsier, body than he'd ever been in life.

When, however, instead of dying painfully he finds out Edward ran away...

Light finds himself mildly intrigued. Alright, this universe is annoying, his work was wiped away, he has no means of becoming Kira again, and it appears ayakashi/yokai/mononoke are pursuing him, but something here is happening and it could give him a clue as to what this world really is.

And Light finds himself playing a familiar game he played with many women before, charm Edward Cullen.

As Light's very quickly able to pinpoint what it is Edward wants in a woman, he avoids an untimely death, and canon proceeds unhindered until Light realizes. Oh no. This demon actually really does want a relationship with him while hungering for his blood. Light's read those folk stories.

Light takes the Paranoid Bella route until the Volturi alternative presents itself, and while hating the idea of being subservient to these warlords, he does appreciate the cause of murdering man eating demons and it gets him away from Edward.

storyline:

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ min yeoreom is the reincarnation of wang yeo's and kim sun's daugther (and the goblin's/kim shin's niece)

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ however, unlike kim sun/sunny, or wang yeo, yeoreom does remember her past life as their daughter/princess

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ she retained all her memories

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ so she recognized her parents and uncle, but she was paranoid about what would happen if she said anything, and knowing they don't remember her, she chose to keep quiet

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ however, since kim shin does remember his past, he soon realised who she was

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ kim shin expressed joy in finally being able to see his niece grown up as he died when she was only a child

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ he only found our her identity when she accidently called him a nickname she used to called him as a baby, 'shincheon' (a combination of samcheon/uncle and shin) as she couldnt properly pronounce uncle

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ but yeoreom was happy to see her parents, especially her father happy as he had yet to remember his past, eventhough deep down she still felt some resentment towards him for what he did to her

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ yeoreom was only one when her mother and uncle died at the order of her father

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ after her mothers death and as she grew up, her father wang yeo practically ignored her existence as he was too pained to be remined of her mother everytime he saw her

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ lee juyeol was born in a high-class family but fought to be a general in the military, as his family was full of scholars

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ he worked alongside kim shin, shin was juyeol's mentor

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ and because of his status, he was arranged and bethrothed to yeoreom since they were newborns

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ and so they grew up as childhood friends who knew that one day theyd marry each other

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ they quickly grew fond of each other, and that fondness grew to love

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ but, wangyeo forbaded yeoreom to leave the palace, so they would find ways to meet in secret

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ finding peace and an escape from the world, in each other's presence under the moonlight, as their young love grew, they anticipated for the day they'd wed

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ however, what they didn't know was wangyeo's rage and envy was brewing when he stubbled on their secret meeting, and upon seeing his daughter who resembled his late wife, smiling at juyeol, his blood boiled, his ever-growing daughter never smiled at him, sure he ignored her but she had never once smiled at him like that, that enraged him, and right then and there wang yeo promised he would kill them both, why? who knows, wang yeo's rage did unfathomable things

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ so he waited, he waited for their next meeting under the moonlight, he would only then confront them

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ then that day came, yeoreom and juyeol, innocent young lovers were strolling in the royal garden when they reached the bridge, yeoreom pulled juyeol to it, wanting to see the moon's light reflection on the water

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ once they reached the bridge, after a moment of admiring yeoreom soft features as she gazed at the rippling water, juyeol pulled out a small pouch, telling her to open it, it revealed a small hair pin

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ he told her the hairpin was a promise, a promise of his love and their future

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ however, as he was holding the hairpin, about to place it into her hair per her request, they were interrupted

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ wangyeo openedly threatened juyeol, hollering curses at him in a fit of rage and envy, juyeol pulled yeoreom behind him, shielding her from wangyeo's drawn sword

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ but then, yeoreom stepped forward, finally confronting her father

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ she condemned him. for all his actions. for killing her mother. for neglecting her. even if he tried to pretend it didnt happen, she remembered. finally confronting him with the fact she never considered him as her father and that her mother would never forgive him.

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ this made wangyeo lose it.

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ he swang his sword, aiming for yeoreom.

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ but juyeol spun them around, hugging yeoreom close, as he felt the sword plunge through him, but what he only realised after as he looked in yeoreom's eyes was that the sword had plunge through her heart too

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ wangyeo's sword had penetrated through both of them as they embraced each others dying body

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ they died in holding each other, taking their last breath together, joined by a single sword, her father's, they died whispering promises to meet in another life, somewhere they can finally be together and see the moonlight once more

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ only when wangyeo let go of his sword as the two fell to the ground, did he slowly realize what he'd done

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ he killed his wife, now he killed his daughter and her lover, the only person she had ever smiled for, wang yeo fell to his knees infront of his daughter, and weeped until the guards found him the next morning, struggling to pull him away from her body as he wouldn't loosen his grip on her hand, which wore a small delicate ring. a ring he had made for her when she was a baby.

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ he had a ring made for her along with a matching hairpin for his late wife, how could he ever let go of them now? soon, he passed due to his overwhelming grief.

current timeline:

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ she still remembers Juyeol, but he lost the memories of his past life.

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ they met again when yeoreom was attacked at night after a late shift, when juyeol heard her and saved her.

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ a direct parallel to their first meeting in the past. where juyeol saved her with his sword that he was gifted from kim shin, when they were still young.

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ yeoreom recognised him immediately, and turns out, juyeol was a police captain this life, yeoreom began to tear up and went to touch her hairpin

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ the one that he gifted her back then, which she still wore

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ in the police station, as juyeol filled out the papers for the formal police report for yeoreom, he couldnt help but notice her longing gaze, he then picked up the courage to ask her why she was staring at him like that

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ startled by his direct question, after avoiding his gaze, afraid to meet his eyes after all this time, she finally looked up to meet his piercing gaze that were already on hers

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ she daintly answered him, "you remind me of my late fiancé"

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ reliving all the memories she had, but also looking in his eyes to see if he recognised her, pain in her eyes as she looked into his, he felt some sort of familiarity, he felt like his heart was burning.

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ he felt a surged of pain, love, longing, yearning, relief, and a sense of similarity as he looked in her eyes. confused he brushed it off.

๋࣭𐙚˙⋆.˚

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ juyeol cried in her arms saying how he’s having a hard time because she reminds him of someone, but he doesn’t know who. he doesn't understand why it makes him so happy yet so sad to be around her

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ telling her of someone he meets in his dreams. he describes his dreams, these dreams being his memories replaying, as if taunting him

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ she’s shedding tears as well, as she pats his back, and caressing his hair trying to comfort him even though she's restraining herself from telling him the truth, telling him about their past lives, telling him of their past love, but even if she tells him, that wouldn't mean anything, reminding herself that, he isnt the same juyeol, this is his reincarnation, even if it hurts to see their same mannerisms and how similar they are. this isn't the same person. he doesn't remember.

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ when she fell asleep after drinking, she drunkingly called juyeol, who brought her back to his aparment

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ he caressed her hair and face, not understanding how he can feel such fondness towards someone he doesn’t love.

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ he covered her with a blanket and placed medicine on the bedside, letting her take his bed as he took the couch.

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ and then he noticed her hairpin, a sudden erge to touch it came to him, a gut feeling yelling at him to touch it, he gave in to this instinct, and when he did, the floodgates of his suppressed memories came flooding back in

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ memories from the beginning, all the way to their deaths, he started crying, sobbing, as he felt his heart aching from the memories he began reliving

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ the last memory he saw was her in his arms as they slowly passed away, taking their last breath together, whispering promises of seeing the moonlight together one more time

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ when he retratched his hand from the hairpin, his breathing heavy, the tension he felt in his heart softened as his gaze fell on her delicate sleeping face, juyeol's gaze avered down to see that she had grabbed his hand in her sleep

┈─๋࣭ ⭑⚝ a soft smile crept onto her face, before breathlessly whispering his name, he could only analyze her soft features as she slept, caressing her face, sighing as he felt the familiar touch of his fingertips against her soft cheek, “Why didn’t you tell me…?”
