ೃ༄ erik destler

he wouldn’t wait to marry you

like at all

the second you show him you’re willing to be in a relationship with him and he’s sure you won’t leave him he’s already planning your wedding

of course if you wanted to take it more slowly he might be a little impatient but he’d try his best for you :)

but he’d be so happy if u were ready to get married as soon as possible

the sad thing is he’d get so stressed while trying to plan it because he’d want it to be absolutely perfect because that’s what he didn’t get with christine

and he’d try to convince you not to worry about it or help plan the wedding becaus he wants it to be a surprise for you

however he’d talk to you about what you want <3

so unfortunately he doesn’t know a lot of people 😭 so your wedding audience consists of daroga, mme giry, and maybe christine and raoul if ur lucky and manage to convince them (but they’ll be a little on edge)

and u can invite ur family if they’d be accepting of erik!

once y’all are married it’s so sweet and romantic ohmygod

he’d make u breakfast and dinner every single day, even if he’s had a particularly bad day

he just loves doing things for you

he’d also love writing even more songs and sometimes even entire operas for you or about you, you’re his muse

before he was able to take breaks from bis work to focus on you for awhile

but now you’re married he just can’t be away from you for two minutes

will sit on the floor and talk to u while u shower

or he showers with u

his love language is spontaneously twirling u around and redoing ur wedding dance in the most random places

also carrying u to ur bed if u fall asleep on him or somewhere else, before marriage he’d just let u sleep there and make sure he doesn’t wake u up

such a sweetheart <3

ೃ༄ count dracula

takes his time to marry you

but that’s only because he takes a lot of time working out when and where to propose and shit

and then probably has the wedding planned before you even say yes

which obviously you do

he’d be a little cocky abt u saying yes ngl cause he already knew u would

but the wedding itself obviously takes place at night and mainly other vampires will show up, but he won’t let them remotely near you assuming he hasn’t turned you yet

if he has then go talk to them!! there’s no risk of u dying or getting turned by someone else!!

he’d also rlly like cooking for u and shit since he canonically had to sprint around his castle to make it seem like he had butlers or whatever 😭😭

how good is fucking amazing btw

like god damn

and obviously he has a comfortable ass vampire bed that he’d let u put 60 pillows on if u want

he’d also like have a thing for ur hair no matter how short or long it is

he likes standing behind u and running his hands through it when u do literally anything for funsies

and his fingers are really pretty and long and cold so they feel nice

he also brushes it a lot esp in the mornings

he also doesn’t even look another persons way when he’s with u

ever.

and his brides are now just. draculas sisters or wtv 😭

unless u want them to be ur wives too he won’t complain

as much as he loves you there’s time where he js like. wants personal time to go kill people think

id also imagine ur very close with renfield

like draculas kinda mean to him but ur rlly nice to him <3

like for example waving at him when u see him or just going “hi renfield!!”

renfields probably the one who found u ngl

i can’t think of anything else for him mb pookie 😔 i’ll add to this later

[maochira]

hello!!! how are you doing??? i absolutely admire your headcanons on character, it is what makes me happy at random moments!!! tell me if you can write (romantic) headcanons for benedict grim and/or erik gesner??

Thank you so much! I'm doing fine!! I love Grim and Gesner a lot btw 😭😭 I don't have many headcanons on them, but here are a few!!

Requests open! - masterlist

Tags: gn!reader, established relationship

Benedict Grim

-everything is dramatic and extra ALL THE TIME

-the way he asked you out was very extra. He just confessed his feelings and asked you to go on a date with him but he got on his knees and treated it as if he was proposing to you

-if he didn't have your heart before that, he certainly got you to fall for him in that moment

-he writes lots of love poems for you and reads them to you all the time!! He also writes them by hand in a little notebook and promises as soon as it's full, he'll let you keep it

Erik Gesner

-if anyone asks about you, he starts talking about you with no end in sight. He could go on FOREVER about how amazing and cute you are!!

-he has kind of questionable random nicknames for you. He calls you things like "Ei" (egg) and "Brötchen" (bread roll), you don't know how he came up with them in the first place but even though the nicknames are weird, you prefer them over any cringy nicknames (cringy German nickname examples in this post)

-although, he has one genuinely cute nickname for you. But he would never let anyone but himself and you know about it because it's something he thinks is only for the two of you

[thechaosmuses]

Hi lovebug!

For the nosey anons, (I have a few to send-) but I wanted to start with Erik Mikaelson!

When did he know Care was the one for him? What’s his favorite thing to do with Care? How did he feel the first time Lizzie and Josie called him their dad? When he’s upset what does he do to get out of his head? Does he have a favorite blood type?

Care also wants you to let him know she loves him more than anyone or anything in the world, that he’s the best husband and she’s lucky she has him, and Lizzie says that she misses her dad, and would like to have a father daughter day soon 🥺💛

DON’T BE SHY, SEND MY MUSE SOME NOSEY ANONS!

Hello darlin'! I can't wait to see what/who else you have questions for- Now, onto your questions (which I adore btw)..

Erik was infatuated with Caroline for quite a while before he even made a move even though his "crush" on her wasn't really a secret to them or anyone around them. But the moment he knew she was the one for him came a little while later. It wasn't long after her and Erik had finally started dating, he had planned a pretty romantic date night for them but the day of the twins had woken up sick and after getting off the phone with Caroline who was apologizing profusely to Erik. Instead of being upset, something he really isn't capable of when it comes to the people he loves anyways, he just made some adjustments to their date and showed up at Caroline's house with groceries to make dinner for him and Caroline and stuff to make chicken soup for the girls, as well as get well gifts for the girls. It was a couple hours later, Erik sat on the couch with Caroline while the girls were on a mountain of pillows and blankets at their feet, all three of them fast asleep when Erik looked down at all of them and realized that not only had he fallen madly in love with Caroline but her girls too and he couldn't imagine his life without them from that moment on. It was only a few months later when he took Care to Paris and proposed to her.

Erik loves to do any and everything with Caroline but this man lives for the little domestic moments, especially cooking with her. He likes to turn on music either of his choice (usually older music- 1920s-1950s stuff usually) or hers too (he's grown to really love Taylor Swift because of her) and just dance around the kitchen with her as they make dinner for either just the two of them or their little family. He also loves teaching her how to play the piano, or playing while she sings for him.

He felt like he was on Cloud 9 the day that Lizzie and Josie first called him Dad, and it still makes him feel that way. He had always wanted to be a father and when he became immortal he thought he lost all chance at that happening but then the twins came into his life and proved him very wrong.

4. When he's upset and feels like talking about what's bothering him he goes to find Caroline, one of his siblings (usually Kareena, Klaus, or Elijah), Dillon or Seraphina. If he doesn't feel like talking about it then he'll either read a book, one of his favorites, or even write about what's bothering him. He'll also listen to or even play music (piano or guitar) and he likes to take walks too, whether as a human or a wolf.

5. He does and he know it's kinda cheesy considering who he is but it's B positive 🥴💀

Erik wants to let her know that he loves her more than anything and anyone in the world, that she's the best wife in the world and he is so damn lucky that he has her, and Erik says he misses her very much and would love to have a father daughter day with her soon 🥺❤️

Dance of the Crowns: Season 1 - Episode 1: Dragon Wings & Lion Manes

TW for: Mentions of arranged marriage and death caused by sickness.

ON DRAGONSTORM

The episode/first chapter starts off with the King of the southern hemisphere of Altoterra, Erik Dragonorage, and his children, twenty-six-year-old Lyra, eighteen-year-old Leonardo, seventeen-year-old Caitlin and thirteen-year-old Hugo on horseback, riding down to the edge of hill above Dragonstorm Beach. Considering on every first sunset of the seasons, the first day of each one (summertime in canon), the rulers of Springfallen, Dragonstorm’s village and Terros, which are Erik, Tyrell and Cateline respectively, he’s going to gather with them on the shore to watch it rise, with four of his children in attendance. (For those wondering, he splits them into groups when taking them to watch. Lyra, Leo, Caitlin and Hugo go in the summer and winter; while Nolan, Diana, Antonio and Ruby go in the spring and fall.)

Once they reach there, Tyrell and Cateline make their way up to the top of the hill, and take a seat with their older brothers, nieces and nephews. They’re all silent for a moment, drinking water, taking a breath and/or squinting to see the horizon and check if the sunrise has begun yet or not. Nothing much happens, but it builds up to the next part -

As for that topic, Cateline mentions the warm spring finally coming to an end, and how the past six months’ weather’s had an effect on parts of the continent. Her brothers ask her why, and she’s got a mouthful to tell them: The High North, the kingdom/city of Orore’s Guard, has had a vast drop in population (over 1330) over the winter and spring, and there’s no specified reasons by any of the northern doctors, throughout all five of the Northern Kingdoms (Wintergardens, Iron Rock, Orore’s Guard, Garde Roux and Umbelle). She then suggests and alliance between the King and Queen of Orore’s Guard, Fred and Harmonia Brannon with Erik and Celeste, as F&H’s younger daughter (Madilyn) is close in age to Nolan (she’s 21 and he’s 22). They discuss this for several minutes, with Cateline being the one who progresses it most.

This conversation is put to a stop temporarily, as the sun is about to rise and they’ve never missed a single time watching it for 20+ years.

Once they’re getting ready to leave, Erik tells his sister he’ll definitely bring it up to Celeste once they go back to the castle. She nods, tells him he’s thinking right (part of what makes her character so great; her sass!), and goes back down to her boat and heads for the islands.

Estimated scene length: Around five minutes. And if the episode is planned out to be around 51 minutes in my head, that leaves us with 46 more to fill in with scenes.

IN LANCAAROS

Victor Alagstoyne meets with Dragahri’s advisor Max, as the two of them and the rest of their people are the only ones subtracting Victor and his sister (Sylvia) who they knew they can trust on the islands.

He (Victor) mentions how their family has been in exile for almost 30 years, while his father has been dead for 21, calculating to around the same time that Sylvia was born and the Wintergardens/Arthur vs. Wolfebroken/Alagstoyne war ended and the Arthurs won. (This will be an arc of the first season/book, but not that major until episode 15-ish.)

Sylvia knows the consequences, duties, situations and trials that would come with signing a deal with Dragahri and his people, and has consented to everything. (She’s 21, which by law of all the locations, is an adult.) She knows her brother is capable of taking care of and leading for the both of them, so it’s 100% truthful to say she trusts him.

On that note - Sylvia has proposed the idea of Dragahri being her suitor several times in the past and would gladly consent to it, so it isn’t a bad thing at all if Victor and Max went with that in the end.

As you all may have guessed, they do agree to that, and Sylvia is called from her tent to hear news and say what she wants.

When she’s told she’s to be suited to Dragahri, she’s silent for a moment, until her brother shakes her out of her thoughts. She responds with nothing more than a forced smile, it dropping into a frustrated and thinking frown when the two of them walk away.

However, nothing to worry about; she isn’t alone as she has her close friend and assistant Rosalia with her. She realizes Sylvia isn’t acting like herself and, being a concerned best friend, she goes to her and asks her what’s wrong, which leads to a long conversation between the two of them.

Sylvia confesses to not being afraid; not of being with someone she doesn’t know well enough yet (but knows he won’t hurt her, at least), but of how her brother’s been acting lately. (He’s been pushing her aside and ignoring her, but brushes all suspects away considering he ‘knows what’s best’ for her.

Rosalia tells her to not stress and that’ll all work out in the end, and they leave the tent and go to where Victor is with their guards and Sylvia gets ready to meet her suitor. But still, she can’t stop getting the fear of her brother, the person she used to trust most turning on her out of her head.

Estimated scene length: At the very least, just a bit over sixteen minutes. 16+5 equals 21, and out of 51 minutes of this episode, a half hour left to go.

IN SPRINGFALLEN

Erik, Lyra, Leo, Caitlin and Hugo return to the castle, just in time to have breakfast with Celeste and the other children (Nolan, Diana, Antonio and Ruby). Breakfast is filled with the triplets joking around with each other (Caitlin, Antonio and Ruby are, btw), Diana and Leo gossiping about rumors they’ve heard about other Southern kingdoms and such (Springfallen is in the southern part of the continent, btw), Nolan and Lyra occasionally having small arguments and Hugo trying to join Leo and Diana, while Erik and Celeste usually talk to each other about fresh pieces of news and duties for the day they have to get to. (Considering there’s five exact kingdoms in the south, Springfallen became the ruling one twenty-five years before the events, when Lyra was around one.)

After breakfast, the kids are all ushered out and told to leave, so Erik can mention his sister’s suggestion to Celeste in private. This leads to a long bout of consideration and thinking, as yet with Nolan not being 25 yet (18 is legal adult age, 25 is the age for royal blood to travel alone), he’d have to have either one of his parents or Lyra (aged 26) accompany him, as the northern grounds would be a better location to have everything happen, yet with Springfallen and other parts of the south not having anything major while Orore’s Guard does and how it could spread to the other five major kingdoms. Plus, they could figure out what’s been killing people while in the north, as Erik is incredibly intelligent in the medical field.

This scene comes to a cut, leaving us some time for each of the Dragon kids to get their own introductory scenes.

Lyra comes first. She’s shown to be sitting on a tree stump outside at the back of the castle, reading a book from the royal library. She’s having a conversation with her best friend and lady’s maid (well, to her and her three sisters, that is) Tsukiko, who seems to be quite enthusiastic about the secret Lyra’s parents are hiding. Considering she’s quite the optimistic and almost always positive-thinking, she believes it’ll be something good. Lyra, however, is both excited and nervous, stuck in the in-between of her opinion on her parents’ current discussion that she’ll find out about after they’re done and come to a decision.

Next up, is a two-for-one; between Nolan and Diana. They’re out in the royal rose garden, and she’s picking flowers to put in her room (as she’s the most feminine out of the four Dragonorage sisters). She mentions that while they both dreamed of being rulers as kids, the likeliness of such happening is impossible, due to Lyra being the oldest child of the Dragonorage family and it being her birthright because of so. Nolan storms off at this, and leaves Diana alone by herself in the garden.

Diana ends up going to Lyra in her room, and vents to her about how he’s treated her like this for a long time (ever since she was 11 and he was 12). Lyra advises her to ignore it, and next time it happens, tell their parents.

Third scene of the kids: Leonardo and the triplets (Leo is 18, they’ve just turned 17). They’re spending time together in the library, just the four of them together. He mentions the possibility of it having to do with the population drop/mysterious death causes in the north, and while Antonio and Ruby generally disagree and think otherwise, Caitlin sees his point and quickly agrees. This leads to a conversation about the old history of the north’s kingdoms/locations and how there were lots of suspicions about them, which leads to more about the rulers and such, telling of some ancient lore. This also leads to more mention and backstory of the Red Rebellion and what happened during the five years it lasted. However, the cause never gets mentioned in this conversation, but they do know that the royal house their mother was born to was greatly involved (Garde Roux/the house of Victoire. Celeste was the princess of there, second child and grew up in the north). Caitlin speaks about her knowledge on fashion of the northern people (she’s a bit of a stereotypical princess in that regard), Antonio about horseback riding, and Ruby about knights, combat and swordfighting.

This scene ends with Leo letting Hugo into the library, and he joins their conversation. He then mentions his history lesson with their teacher about learning of all the wars, castle building etc., and all of the history of the continent, and how a majority of the toys he owns are replicas of important locations. So, in general, this gives a brief introduction to them and some of their interests: Leo being a history buff/interested in learning, Caitlin being interested in fashion, Antonio being fascinated with horses and riding, Ruby being a fanatic of knighthood, and Hugo being into toys and such, even as a teenager.

The scenes of the entire Dragonorage family end with the second of the three major lady’s maids, Anna (her, Tsukiko and Jayne are the ‘holy trinity’) running around to get all eight of the Dragonorage kids, and that their parents finally are ready to see them.

And finally, Erik and Celeste have came to the agreement that Madilyn Brannon and Nolan will be put into an arranged marriage, and that Erik and Nolan will be traveling to the north and gather all of their children to tell them the news. But: Only three of the other kids are allowed to go to Orore’s Guard with their dad and brother if they want to.

Estimated scene length: Nineteen minutes, and 19+21 gives us 40 minutes (just over considering no scene in this isn’t over or under a second). Leaving eleven or less.

IN ORORE’S GUARD - TIME SKIP TO THE NEXT DAY AT SUNSET

We’re introduced to the Princess of Orore’s Guard that’s to be with Nolan; twenty-one-year-old Madilyn, who was mentioned by Cateline earlier. (She has an older sister, 24-year-old Maisy.) It begins with her alone in her room in one of the towers of the castle, sewing up her torn inside/outside dress (for the garden/within the castle. I’m bad at describing that stuff lol). She’s awaiting news on her possible marriage to whom her home has dubbed the Dragon Prince, of which her sister will deliver.

She’s deep inside her feelings, asking herself five things: 1; if this is what she wants, 2; if she’s ready or not, 3; if this is a good thing or a bad thing for her and her home, 4; if it’s right for her to be scared and 5; of course if the answer is yes or no.

She thinks of there being a plus: Her being with someone like him, of a high status and the son of the ruler of a part/hemisphere of the continent (Springfallen rules the five kingdoms in the South, while Wintergardens rules the five in the North. All kingdoms of each hemisphere rule, but Springfallen and Wintergardens are the top), would automatically make her a queen. Usually, the crowning age would be 27, meaning Lyra would inherit once she turned that age the next year, but considering he’s 22, he wouldn’t get it.

Maisy is 24, closer to the age of earning the throne and ruling their part of the hemisphere. But, considering she’s not assigned to be with anyone while Madilyn is, she’d become the Queen of the Den (as that’s what Orore’s Guard is called, symbolic of their house crest being a lion).

Why wouldn’t Nolan rule if he married her? His parents are still the rulers legally, so that option is off the table. However, marrying Madilyn would make him the King of the Den.

Keep in mind, this is all being told by her inner monologue, so a TV version would have the voiceover of the actress who’d play her running in the background while the book would have her thoughts in italics like ‘this’.

To wrap up this part, it ends in her finishing her patching up of the dress and putting it on a hanger in her closet, and eventually being called down for dinner.

At dinner, Harmonia announces to her husband and daughters that she’s received a letter from the advisor of the Queen of Garde Roux, Celeste’s older sister Circe.

Why did she receive the letter from Circe? Garde Roux is located right below Orore’s Guard, and there’s a fair eight miles between each kingdom’s individual gates. Meaning, there wasn’t much of a distance, just enough for Circe to send one of Garde Roux’s messengers to deliver the letter.

Back on topic - Harmonia announces that the arranged marriage deal was a go with Erik and Celeste, and that the Dragonorages are to arrive in three days stat. (Keep in mind, the Orore’s Guard part takes place a day after Springfallen/Lancaaros/Dragonstorm’s scenes, so they’d be in the North four days after the beginning of the episode/story.)

Madilyn nods, and finds herself not being nervous or scared about anything. She’s rather relieved, and happily obliges/agrees to the deal once more to confirm everything is well on her side, and both of her parents look quite pleased.

This ends in her and Maisy having a brief talk as they walk down the dinner hall and up the stairs, where she asks if she’s that okay with giving herself away to someone she doesn’t even know. Madilyn assures her that it’ll all be fine, and yet with how charmed the people who’ve heard of him (but haven’t met him face-to-face) seem to be with him/how much they like him, she’ll be okay in the end.

And finally, both sisters go to their individual rooms and to go bed, thus ending the Orore’s Guard scenes.

Estimated scene length: Eight minutes. This leaves us with, in addition to the previous 40, 48 aka four dozen, with just three left.

BACK IN SPRINGFALLEN - THREE DAYS AFTER SPRINGFALLEN 1/DRAGONSTORM

Erik has chosen three other children to go with him to Orore’s Guard: Diana, Ruby and Caitlin.

Caitlin was chosen for her interest in their fashion and want to travel (think of her as Belle in that regard), Diana for wanting to travel and see more of the world, and Ruby considering lots of hype around swordfighting and knights goes on around there, and the fact that many of the knights she looks up to were from there.

Lyra, Leo, Antonio and Hugo are staying behind in Springfallen, and Celeste will assume both roles of the King and Queen while her husband is away.

The guards/Erik’s men come up to them with news that Harmonia and Fred have given them a gift; and Erik immediately asks to see what they’ve delivered.

It’s nothing other than a pack of wolves: Four grey, two white, one black, one tan, and one brown.

Each one of the kids takes one wolf, leaving one left.

Celeste and Erik both decide to give it to her son from another relationship, who lives in the North as leader of a group of warriors who protects the North, twenty-nine-year-old Jonathan. (He’ll be introduced not much later on, and will have an interesting storyline and important role to play. His father won’t be revealed until later on, however.)

The episode ends at this, and finally, Erik, Nolan and the three chosen children leave for Orore’s Guard with the Spring Knights to accompany them on the way there.

Estimated scene length: Two and a half minutes, leaving us with thirty seconds left. Leaving us with just enough time to roll credits and conclude the episode/chapters that begin the tale.

(PSA: All the probable/possible loose ends will be tied with within the next five episodes. So for now, it’s to leave suspense, and readers can take time to speculate and wonder why/create theories and conspiracies.)

Thank you to whoever took the time to read this! Feedback is much welcomed/appreciated!

[sherrybaby14]

pt. 1 can you do another noncon killmonger fic or even maybe a series? just an idea but like maybe the girl was sent by zuri to look for and spy on erik cause you know he probably feels guilty about n’jobu’s death and about leaving erik behind as a kid (idek if he knew about erik). then they maybe had a thing but then she just left cause her mission’s done or sumn without telling him about anything and when he goes to wakanda he’s pissed that she’s there cause he actually loved her.

pt2. so when he “wins” against t’challa during the ceremony he sends people to take her to him and he questions why she’s there and maybe he’s mad and then he proposes to her to be his queen but she declines and says that she’s only loyal to t’challa and then forces himself on her then just smut and you do you from here and keeps her captive. pt3. make it almost the same as the distraction (i really like that fic btw) where he thinks he’s doing things for her out of love or sumn. (i would write this myself but i really don’t know how) also people should request more killmonger fic cause uhmm michael b jordan is hella fine

First off, thank you for the requests! But I am not taking requests right now (occasionally I open them up for a drabble game). Also, this would take several chapters to pull off and I’m limiting requests to oneshots. (sometimes if I get one I can incorporate into a challenge I use it).  Also, you say you don’t know how to write it, I say give it a try!  So it sounds like you have a plot down!  Thank you again for the ask!
