Prompts!

Can I tempt you with a bottle of the '14 vintage, '… when I wasn't meant to hear', featuring Elin, Harwin and Rhaenyra? Juno xx

Still worldbuilding a little bit around Elin - I like the rapproachment she has with Harwin here, as friends more than potential lovers. Rhaenyra's here to, albeit in the background.

It should have been an elevation of special magnificence.

It was a position of power - of honor, even! - and yet here was his lord father, moving into the Tower of the Hand like there had been some black buisness afoot to get him there.

Well. Of course there had been. The previous Hand had called the King's daughter a whore, more or less, and that was a stone too far, so Otto Hightower was out and Lyonel Strong was in, with all the flourishes and furbelows required of the office, up to but not limited by the requisite Tower and its rooms. No more rented townhouse for Ser Harwin Strong, Captain in the city watch - the Strong children were to be part of the court proper. It would make his brother happy, at least, Harwin thought to himself. Larys liked to be in the middle of things. Harwin was worrying about making it to his watch meetings on time. No one liked leaders who were late, and the court always wanted to stop and talk to people - and for you to stop people in turn. And that meant staying abreast of politics and gossip - rather more his brother's circle than his.

It was more useful to his work to hear what the city was saying, not the court - but he could remember one or two morsels from whatever Larys had talked about at dinner. And one of them was passing him in the corridor just now.

"I understand you're to be congratulated, Lady Elin. It's not every day a fox takes a lion, especially a Lannister one."

The betrothal had kept his brother in animated remarks for a whole twenty minutes, talking about her various suitors, and being the queen of love and beauty at the royal tournement at Greenfields, and Goldengrove, and again at Highgarden. And she went and took Tyland, when everyone knows it's Jason who'll inherit.

The dark-haired beauty gave one of her most winsome smiles. It was hard to miss Elin Florent when she entered a room, and the fact that it seemed like half the court was wild for her didn't help. (The other half were angry she didn't notice them, which didn't help either.) She'd flirt with anyone, but she seemed to like him well enough as a friend - if only because he always gave back just as good as he got. "Thank you, Ser Harwin. Sadly the match has failed to impress the only person that really cares - my mother. You've met my mother, I think - she rarely congratulates anyone. She would have liked me for the King, if she could get him. She tried, when Lady Aemma died, but the Hightowers were quicker. Or the Lord of Harrenhall," she added with a pointed smile.

Harwin tried to imagine what his father would say to the idea. "I'm not sure I could have tolerated having you as my stepmother."

Elin gave him a look like he was being simple. "And as your wife?" The smile got a little wider in its suggestion. "I was not opposed."

Harwin paused, wary of the trap she'd set. "Tyland will make better use of your talents, I'm sure."

She smiled at the way he stepped around it, obviously impressed. "Men should be married, I think - it gives them graces they are otherwise without."

"And women?"

She answered what she thought of that with a casual gesture of her hand. "Women need nothing; we are perfect as we are."

He decided, just for fun, to be annoying. "I've heard it said that children are a woman's perfection."

"By men with ten and twelve pups a peice and no idea of any of thier names?" Elin scoffed. "Hardly."

"Tyland has no intention of …whelping you, then?" He used the word only because she'd said pup, like they were dogs in a kennel, but Elin Florent was hardly a whelping bitch. I can't see you as the mothering type, but stranger things have happened. The Hand of the King recently called the Princess a whore, for starters.

"I wouldn't be marrying him if he had. If he wanted a broodmare there are plenty of those at hand in his stable." She sighed, content with her lot. "In a sense I'm glad, really, that the crown fell to Alicent - suffering under an old man to give him more children. For what? He has an heir, and a good one, too." Her plainness shocked him, a little, and she looked at him with challenge in her eyes. "Well? Why shouldn't she rule?"

Harwin fumbled for a smile, stepping around the question as nimbly as he could. "And would you fill her small council with women, too? Perhaps you could serve as her master of coin."

"Why not? I'll know the Crown's books as well as our own, once I'm wed."

He didn't doubt that. Elin Florent's sight was as keen as his brother's, though often not as deadly."And the Hand of the Queen - another woman?"

"No - the Hand needs subtlety, and strength, but of a different kind. Would you try for the post? Your father will do well enough with it, now that it's his."

"I would think that her lord husband would take it." When she gets one, anyway - wasn't that generally the way of things?

She studied him a moment. "You surprise me, Ser Harwin."

"With my apparent lack of ambition?"

A scoff. "You never disagreed, when I said she should be queen."

Ah. Well. Yes, that was true. And why should he? She was her father's heir, announced and sworn, a dragonrider in the tradition of her ancestors, and a woman who paid attention to things. Why else serve as her father's cupbearer, if not to learn kingship by listening? His father spoke well of her, the little he'd seen - a bright girl who understood more than she let on.

Yes, what else did he know of Rhaenyra Targaryen? That she could skewer a boar, and not faint at the sight of blood. That had impressed him, seeing that fey little thing bloody as a bannerman. That she did not care to sit with the women and coo over her half brothers the princelings - his sisters had said that, annoyed that they could not claim the princess's company. And there was something else, too, something only he knew and had told neither his father or brother about - a girl dressed in a boy's breeches and cap, running hell for leather away from Daemon Targeryen only a few nights ago. She knows how to take risks - more than can be said for her father. He found he liked that in a person - and in women in particular. (And she had been rather comely in those breeches, even if it was too bold of him to say.) "She's rather like you, Lady Elin. She has a boldness to her."

He envied Tyland her smiles, a little - she had a radiance to her, seeing she was right. "You'd best be careful how you flirt with me, Ser Harwin. My betrothed fights with sharper weapons than swords."

『Prologue』

➪ a/n: excited for this smau rlly 🤧 hope u guys would like this as much as my previous smau! <3

➪ warning/s: angst if you look closely, maybe idk

☽☽☽☽☽☽ ఌ ☾☾☾☾☾☾

“Did she eat yet?” He asks Komori as he rotates his shoulder to relieve his sore muscles, tempted to sit on the bench for a while and rest up, but he knew he couldn’t after having heard from his cousin you were nowhere to be found again.

“Nope,” he replies sheepishly, wondering why he has had such the luck of witnessing his cousin in a bad mood after going through all that trouble with you. He flinches when he receives a sharp glare from Sakusa, “hey don’t look at me like that!” He huffs, crossing his arms as he pretended he wasn’t at all nervous.

“I did as you asked Oomi, I left practice early as you said, kept an eye on her the whole time because you said she’s been acting strange, and when we were lining up for lunch, she suddenly disappeared when I got distracted.”

Sakusa raises a brow at him upon his last statement and his cousin grins apologetically. “Whatever, I’m just worried,” he sighs, bending down to get his bag before slinging it on his shoulder.

“So you last saw her in the cafeteria?” He asks, simultaneously shuffling through his bag to get his phone— Komori nods. “Thanks, text me if you see her.”

This had been going on for weeks, and it started ever since you came back from your disappearance for quite some time last month. You were the perfect best friends, both of you equally knowing that you’d take the next step in your relationship any day now; but you’ve been avoiding him.

You would make up all these excuses as to not hang out anymore, you rarely went to class and your parents would always say that you guys went on a trip even though he knew you didn’t. As much as he wanted to respect what you wanted, he just can’t figure out where it all went wrong.

Even when he’s miraculously dragged you to do as much as sit next to him, why did it still seem like you were so far away? Particularly, slipping away.

It was an ominous feeling, and he hated it, that’s why he was trying to do everything he can to get things back to normal. He first visits your classroom, asking your friends if they’d seen you but they all shake their heads, taking pity on him because they knew how much he’s been worried about you.

He’s been trying to contact you the whole time as he walked around school, trying to find you. You at least needed to eat, and if you wanted to avoid him that much that you decided to skip the cafeteria, then be it— he’ll back off.

He pauses when he finally sees you in the library, head resting on your arm against the table with your eyes closed and locks of hair covering your face. Immediately going soft, he silently pulls out the chair from beside yours before he sits down, eyes trained on you the whole time.

You had changed, but now that you’re asleep like this, he’s reminded of those days wherein you clung, doted and looked for him wherever you went. He’ll be patient, that’s all he ever told himself because he knew you’ll come around eventually.

“Oomi,” you meekly say, catching him mid-action as he tucked the strands of your hair that covered your face behind your ear. He merely hums in response, his hand gently resting above your head while he comfortingly stroked your temple with his thumb.

It made your heart ache; he was too soft, this was the side of Kiyoomi only you get to see. “Did I worry you again?” You whisper, closing your eyes as you felt yourself relax against his touch.

“You did,” he frowns, but when you softly smile and put your hand on top of his, he forgot all the hurt and frustration he felt this past month. “I love you, Oomi,” you tell him out of the blue, and it was such a bittersweet moment he wanted to cry and hold you.

But there was no need to do that, was there? You’re here and you told him you loved him for the first time, he shouldn’t dwell on the sorrow that sprung out of nowhere like it was foreshadowing a tragedy.

“You’re not going to say it back?” You pull him away from his suffocating thoughts, a small chuckle escaping his lips from behind his mask. How cute, he thought.

“What if I won’t?” He lowly says, his hand gliding down to cup your cheek. You knew him well enough to know that there was humor behind what he said, and you lightly chuckle as you look at him with glimmering eyes, “I don’t mind, just remember I love you.”

He was certain he was insane, why did it hurt so much? The room fills with silence as he finds it harder and harder to breathe; he has never felt so blissfully in love and so cruelly agonized at the same time but he couldn’t even begin to answer why.

“I want to kiss you,” you mumble jokingly, and curious of the germaphobe’s reaction, you glance up to meet his eerily troubled eyes. Could he perhaps have caught on on your secret or was it because of what you had just said? He thinks for a moment, should he?

You had such beautiful lips, maybe he did want them against his. Hesitantly, he leans down, his face inching close to yours.

You practically held your breath the whole time, positive that you had stopped breathing entirely when he tugs down his mask. Both your lips are barely apart, and you figured that it might be because he was starting to regret giving it a go. “You don’t have to,” you whisper.

“I want to,” he reassuringly runs his thumb across your cheek before he closes his eyes, locking lips with you.

He abandons all the anxiety he felt earlier and the memory of the pain you’ve caused him. The room shone with a faint orange hue with the golden sunlight piercing through the window, and under the dim hidden nook of the cold library, warmth rises in both your cheeks and his.

He takes your bottom lip gently between his plump and soft ones, parting only to kiss you again with less restraint. Love was all he felt at the moment as he kissed you— again and again, taking his time to savor the only pleasure he knew which was you.

Little did he know, that was the last day he wouldn’t hate you, despise you, and curse at everything that reminded him of you.

Beetlejuice Headcannons and Ideas

This is just a list of the headcannons and ideas I came up with for Beetlejuice (the movie and the TV show). I might add more later on, so watch out

-After a while, Lydia started to develop feelings for Prince Vince and while she was visiting the Neitherworld with Beetlejuice, she eventually confessed her feelings for Vince and they fell in love. And Beetlejuice immediately went into overprotective uncle mode

-Queen Aranea, Prince Vince’s mother, is something of a witch and she enjoys brewing potions and creating spells

The Giant Squark is a giant squid/shark hybrid that is native to the Neitherworld and they’re ferocious predators the dead fear

-Aranea met King Sebastian, Prince Vince’s father, at a drive-in movie. She was working at the theater and Sebastian, who was Prince at the time, noticed her and he was instantly smitten… and Aranea was smitten with him, too. But she knew a commoner like her could never be with the Prince of the Neitherworld, so she decided to disguise herself as a princess to fool Sebastian’s parents. It worked for a little while, but when everyone found out the truth, Sebastian stood by Aranea and he told her that he loved her for who she really was. And he told his parents that if they couldn't deal with that then he and Aranea would leave. But of course, that didn't happen

-Prince Vince was born and raised in the Neitherworld

-Sebastian abdicated the throne when he thought Vince should be ready to rule. He tolerates the boy, but he doesn't like his son’s gloomy disposition

-Aranea can transform herself into a Giant Squark

-Sebastian can transform himself into a chimera

-Vince can transform himself into a four-headed hydra

-When Lydia married Vince and became Queen of the Neitherworld, she developed supernatural powers of her own, including the ability to transform herself into a giant red and black spider

-Sebastian has two pet hounds named Basher and Slasher

-Lydia and Vince have a daughter named Mona

-Juno had become Lydia’s royal advisor when Lydia and Vince were crowned King and Queen

-Mona’s best friend is a young albino girl named Anna-Maria Bloodworth… and she’s the child of Bloody Mary

-Heaven and Hell do exist, but the Neitherworld is more similar to a purgatory

-When he was alive, Beetlejuice was a conman as well as a crazy drug addict and after a while, he started to hear voices in his head. The voices got louder and louder until finally, he couldn’t take it anymore and he decided to kill himself, which led him to end up in the Neitherworld

-Beetlejuice was supposed to assist Juno in helping her clients understand and readjust to their new afterlives as well as help them get rid of any unwanted guests. And he quit because he thought he could do so much better at getting rid of the living than any ghost ever could

-Adam and Barbara were high school sweethearts when they were alive

-Juno was a higher up at a very successful company, but the pressure to be perfect was a little too much for her, especially at her old age. And at the end of it, she ended her life

-Beetlejuice started out as an ordinary ghost, but he wanted to be more than that. So he went to see a sorcerer and asked him to be more powerful than any ghost in the Neitherworld. The sorcerer agreed, but the price Beetlejuice had to pay was his sense of reason and most of his sanity

-Both God AND the Devil created the Neitherworld together. It started out as a thought and after a while with help from a bit of witchcraft, it manifested itself into the freaky and wacky Neitherworld we know today

-Sandworms were ancient beings created by a group of gods and they feed on the dead. That’s why Beetlejuice and most of the Neitherworld citizens are so afraid of them

-Miss Argentina used to be an ordinary beauty pageant queen from South America when she was alive. She was a champion, but when she lost a SUPER big pageant at the peak of her career, she thought she lost her thunder and had a bit of a mental break. Her loss combined with all of the stress she was under to be the absolute best drove her over the edge and she decided to end her life, even though she keeps saying it was an accident

-There are all sorts of strange and crazy creatures in the Neitherworld. There are rats the size of bears, vicious butterflies, monsters made of goo, demonic clowns, cats, dogs, and rabbits that are very similar to Cerberus and Orthrus, and so many more

-The Neitherworld has nobility, but very strange nobility

-There are some rather cruel and nasty punishment methods in the Neitherworld, mostly taking inspiration from medieval torture methods as well as a few magical ones

-Maxie Dean and his wife died after Beetlejuice smacked them sky high with hammers

-Halloween is a pretty HUGE deal down in the Neitherworld and I'm sure they do, kind of like how the inhabitants of Halloweentown go to the human world to spread Halloween spirit

-A necromancer from a long time ago wrote the Handbook for the Recently Deceased so it could help out new souls that aren't used to being dead yet

This is all I've got so far, but feel free to tell me what you think and tell me which one is your favorite

The Cordelia Pamphlet

In the early morning of the year of 2005 whereas people all over Camp Jupiter and New Rome were reading a four-page pamphlet. A few people were gossiping about the four-page pamphlet until it became a spread news all over the camp and city. Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano (who was the protégé of Praetor Lyria) and Flint Donovan Vance (Current male Praetor) were reading this four-page pamphlet in anger but also in pain for their closest friend in Camp Jupiter. Lyria Eclair Graham de Vanily and Echo Olympia Butterfly were also reading this terrifying pamphlet that was spreading like wildfire throughout the camp and city in the Great Hall of Hogwarts. Both girls were afraid of Octavian Marcus Tabullo's reaction once they were reading it. They quickly packed their clothes and light traveled (Lyria) and love traveled (Echo) straight to San Francisco, California. Meanwhile, Octavian locked himself inside his office in silence where Reyna and Flint heard him scribbling from paper to paper with his pen. So far nothing unlike outside in the city. Bernice Gonzalez, Emilie Jade, and Nala Bank were grinning devilishly as they spread the news of the pamphlet.

The Cordelia Pamphlet!

Bernice/Emilie/Lyria:

Have you read this?!

Nala/Bernice/Emilie:

May Sophia had a torrid affair

And she wrote it down right there!

Emilie:

Highlight!

Bernice/May:

“The charge against me is a connection with one,

Daisy Cordelia!

For purposes of Improper Speculations!

My real crime is amorous connection

With her husband

For a considerable time

With her knowing

Consents!”

Nala/Emilie/Bernice:

DAMN!

People all over the camp and city were reading the four-page pamphlet in shock as May reveals that she had an affair with Phoenix Cordelia. This young Cordelia man was known for being a notorious liar and a player all over Camp Jupiter and New Rome. He was also known for sleeping with many men wives in order to obtain high payment. Madeline Sophia was glad to cooperate with Daisy Cordelia in order to pay almost two thousand in cash to keep the affair a secret. Though the secret didn’t last long when Emilie and her two sidekicks (Nala and Bernice) accuse Octavian's girlfriend of embezzling money from the Nutella Company, which was the main source of money for the Romans. Though that wasn’t the case so instead May decided to reveal her affair on a four-page pamphlet before letting it be published for the entire city and camp to read with their own eyes. Emilie couldn’t think that her dream had finally come true. The girlfriend of Lyria and Echo's right-hand man, has suddenly fallen down by her own doom. Lyria was the daughter of Apollo, Princess of Olympus, the Sea, and the Underworld, Ghost Queen, Princess of the Shadows, Heir to Jupiter, Juno, Neptune, Ceres, Mars, Minerva, Apollo, Diana, Vulcan, Venus, Mercury, Bacchus, Vesta, and Pluto, ex-Centurion of the First Cohort, Praetor of the Twelfth Legion Fulminata, Friends to Major and Minor Gods, The Three Fates, and Thanatos. Echo was the daughter of Venus, Centurion of the First Cohort and the right-hand woman of Lyria. Both girls were Friends to Chaos, Top Commanders of the Chaos Army, Lyria the First and Echo the Second.

May/Emilie:

“I have frequently meetings with him

Most of them at my own cohort”

Bernice:

At her own cohort?!

Nala:

At her own cohort

Bernice/Nala

DAMN!!

May/Emilie:

“Mr. Tabullo with his closest friends

Being absent on a visit to the Carribean”

Nala/Reyna:

No!

Emilie/Nala/Bernice:

Have you read this?!

The Venus and Apollo descendants were reading the four-page pamphlet themselves. Tears were streaming down their faces as Reyna and Flint comforted all of them with loving open arms. They glared at May for this cruel betrayal that she brought upon her own family. The children nearly broke down in Reyna and Flint's arms as they escorted them away from the crowd that formed between May and Emilie along with Nala and Bernice. The three women continue to spread the pamphlet along with the crowd as they booed at her. Rose Sophia couldn’t even look at her own full, older in the eyes ever again.

Rose and the other Venus descendants were escorted as well by Reyna, who glared at May with pure hatred. She couldn’t believe that May could just stab Octavian in the back, in the end, she did. Reyna feared for Octavian's mental state, wondering if he was doing something that Reyna feared the most. Echo arrived first because Lyria was intercepted by Mercury to be at Olympus for an emergency meeting about the affair. Echo and Reyna escorted the Venus and Apollo descendants to their cohorts, before rushing towards Octavian’s office in the First Cohort. Echo wanted to beat the schist out of her sister because of her fatal flaw; Excessive Wrath, but thought better of it. Octavian needed his closest friends.

Meanwhile, May looked down in shame as everybody continued booing at her nonstop. Not to mention that Emilie, Nala, and Bernice kept on taunting her as May finally came crashing down by her own hands.

Emilie:

Well, she’s never gonna be Praetor now

Nala/Bernice:

Never gonna be Praetor now

Emilie:

Well, she’s never gonna be Praetor now

Nala/Bernice:

Never gonna be Praetor now

Emilie:

Well, she’s never gonna be Praetor now

Nala/Bernice:

Never gonna be Praetor now

Emilie:

That’s one less thing to worry about

Emilie/Nala/Bernice:

That’s one less thing to worry about

Emilie, Nala, and Bernice cruelly laughed at May in the face as people kept on speaking ill at her. Everyone in Camp Jupiter and New Rome that knew Octavian personally as good friends nearly wanted to smack the young Spanish-Australian girlfriend in the face but they held back. Soon the crowd began moving away from May, who assumed that they had enough poking their fingers at her for the humiliation that she caused for herself and Octavian. Though the crowd didn’t move away but instead made room, the people of Camp Jupiter and New Rome had made room for their Praetor, friend, and sister. Lyria, who made her way through the crowd before staring at May directly in the eyes.

Lyria:

I came as I soon heard

Emilie:

What!?

May:

Lyria

Emilie/Nala/Bernice:

All the way from Scotland?!

Damn!!!

May:

Lyria, thank the Gods

Someone understands what I’m

Struggling here to do

Lyria grabbed May harshly by the collar of her purple SPQR shirt as she tightly held her with just one hand. May feared for her life at the moment as the Princess of Olympus and many other titles aggressively grabbed her by the collar of her shirt. Glaring deeply into her frightened eyes before Lyria harshly whispers into her ear.

Lyria:

I’m not here for you

“Ooooh” the people whisper in shock as they hear Lyria whisper in such an aggressive way where they didn’t interfere with her and May. Bernice looked away from the unfortunate conversation while Emilie and Nala watched this incident with pure satisfaction. They chuckled devilishly underneath their breath just waiting for the perfect that May Sophia deserves for not only confessing she had an affair behind Octavian’s back but also revealing it for the entire city and camp. This is just a perfect day for Emilie Jade as she slowly watches her enemy slowly falling down.

Everyone knows that if you mess with Lyria, you will suffer immensely. Lyria held more than 1% of what a regular Roman descendant can ever have. She could kill anyone in a second or less with her bare hands, or she could use her powers and kill you in the slowest, painful death. Lyria has the Gods; Major and Minor, Three Fates, Chaos, and Thanatos behind her back. Let’s not forget the entire Chaos Army, which are personally trained by Chaos, Lyria, and Echo.

Lyria:

I know my own brother like I know my own mind

You will never anyone as loyal nor as kind

I love my brother more than my own life

I will choose his happiness over mine every time

Lyria roughly pushed May away from her before raising her fist in the air. Bernice closed her eyes as she heard a crack echo in her ears. Knowingly that her ex-cohort mate's long time friend has punched her greatest enemy.

Everybody else watches with pleasure as Lyria punches May hard twice in the nose and stomach. May fell down to the ground wondering if maybe somebody will have sympathy in their hearts and willing to scold Lyria for punching her. Though none of them as they insisted that May Sophia had it coming.

Lyria:

Put what we had aside

I’m standing at his side

You could never be satisfied

Gods, I hope you’re satisfied

Lyria cold-heartedly left the poor woman in their regular SPQR purple shirt and leggings helpless who was crying on the ground. Tears were streaming down May’s face as she held her bleeding nose and hurting stomach that stung greatly in pain. Everybody began walking away from her but Emilie kept glaring at her with pure satisfaction now she saw May Sophia fallen down into the pitch black darkness of her failure. Causing her reputation to be ruined in New Rome and Camp Jupiter.

Emilie/Nala/Bernice:

Well, she’s never gon’ be Praetor now

That’s one less thing to worry about.

May:

At least I was honest with our money!

(Well, she’s never gon’ be Praetor now)

At least I was honest with our money!

(Well, she’s never gon’ be Praetor now)

At least I was honest with our money!

(Well, she’s never gon’ be Praetor now)

Emilie/Nala/Bernice:

That’s one less thing to worry about!

The Cordelia Pamphlet

Have you read this?

Have you ever seen somebody ruin their own life?

Octavian Tabullo had locked himself in his office as he read the four-page pamphlet. Tears were streaming down his face whereas Reyna, Flint, Echo, and Lyria were banging the door harshly. They attempted to open the door but as expected Octavian has a habit of locking his doors while working. Though this time they knew that Octavia isn’t working at all but instead they know that Octavian is crying in pain, anger, and humiliation by the thought that his beloved May has cheated on him. In which he and everybody else in New Rome and Camp Jupiter never expected May to do such a notorious act but in the end she did. Cruelly stabbing Octavian in the back nonstop. If it were Camp Half-Blood Lyria and Echo would have broken through the door or teleported in the room using their strength or powers, but it was different at Camp Jupiter and New Rome because the doors were enchanted to only be forced open only by an immortal and that there were double doors.

Tears continue streaming down Octavian’s face before Lyria and Echo somehow manage to get the double doors to open. Everyone looked at Octavian in relief as they saw him still alive and well. Although, Lyria would know if Octavian was really dead or not.

The Puerto Rican girl hugged the freckled-acne scarred-tan American, who broke down inside her arms. Reyna and the rest did their best to console Octavian's broken heart.

Emilie/Nala/Bernice:

Her poor ‘Tavian

Author's Note:

Emilie, Nala, Bernice, Reyna, Flint, Phoenix, Daisy, Lyria, Echo, and Octavian are part of the First Cohort.

Echo is the Echo from the myths. She was adopted by Aphrodite. Therefore, Echo has ADHD and Dyslexia.

Lyria and Echo has been at Camp Jupiter and New Rome since they were 5 years old. Both girls swore on the River Styx not to tell either side, until both Romans and Greeks knew of each other’s existence.

Lyria has been Praetor since she was 9 years old (she’s 11 in this story), Flint has been Praetor when he was 10 (in this story he’s 13), Echo has been Centurion since she was also 9 years old (she’s 11 in this story), Reyna had been at camp for 3 months (she’s 13 years old), Octavian has been Centurion when he was 10 (in this story he’s 15), May, Emilie, Nala, and Bernice are also 15 years old. Daisy is 25 years old and Phoenix is 26 years old.

Lyria and Echo are both in Gryffindor. Both were almost sorted into the other houses; Lyria in Hufflepuff more and Echo in Ravenclaw, and Slytherin because Greek demigods are cunning and sly. But considering their pasts and present, the Sorting Hat sorted them both in Gryffindor.

Emilie Jade daughter of Cupid, Bernice Gonzalez daughter of Mercury, Nala Bank daughter of Trivia, Lyria Graham de Vanily daughter of Apollo (Greek side, witch), Flint Vance son of Victoria, May Sophia daughter of Venus, Daisy Cordelia legacy of Eris, Pheonix Cordelia son of Fortuna, Echo Butterfly (ex-nymph, adopted by Aphrodite, blessed by Hecate for Wizarding Magic)

Hi, lovelies! It’s the most exciting time of the year again, aka the O.W.L.s readathon! This readathon is hosted by G over at BookRoast, and the main idea of it is that you’re reading books to pass your Ordinary Wizarding Levels. This year, though, G added another side of it and created a document full of magical careers and the exams you’d need to pass to achieve them, and so I’m even more excited than I was last year! For more information on the readathon, please check G’s announcement video right here.

Just so you know, I’ve decided to become a healer, which means that I absolutely need the following O.W.L.s: Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, Potions, Transfiguration, and three other subjects up to me. However, my goal is to complete all the exams, and so I’ll be aiming to read at least 12 books this month!

Under the cut, you’ll find my tbr!

( LOW PRIORITY ) ANCIENT RUNES — RETELLING

For this class, I’ve decided to read Kissing the Witch, by Emma Donoghue. This is a collection of short fairy tale retellings that focus on women, women saving themselves, and women saving each other. It also apparently has sapphic relationships, which I’m really excited to read. Also, this is a pretty short book, which makes it perfect for a readathon. Add to that the fact that it’s a collection of short stories, which I usually read quickly, and you’ve got the best readathon book, basically.

( MEDIUM PRIORITY ) ARITHMANCY — WORK WRITTEN BY MORE THAN ONE AUTHOR

For this class, I’ve decided to read Lumberjanes, Vol. 10: Parents’ Day, by Shannon Watters, Kat Leyh, Ayme Sotuyo & Maarta Laiho. This is the tenth volume in the Lumberjanes series, which is a series that follows a group of girls and non-binary folks who go to a summer camp to become Lumberjanes, aka something akin to girl scouts. I’ve rated the first six volumes of this series somewhere between a 3 and a 3.5 stars, but ever since the 7th volume, they’ve been getting very strong four stars from me. Therefore, I’m highly anticipating reading this volume for the readathon, and I already have it borrowed from the library, which means that I can for sure get to it in April!

( LOW PRIORITY ) ASTRONOMY — “STAR” IN THE TITLE

For this class, I’ve decided to read The Name of the Star, by Maureen Johnson. Honestly, I don’t know much about this book. I know it’s a mystery, possibly a paranormal one, and that’s about as far as my knowledge of it goes. I don’t currently own this book, but I’m like 90% sure I’m getting it for my birthday on March 29, and worst case scenario? I’m pretty sure I can borrow it from the library or buy it on my Kobo for cheaper. And even then, I have another book with “star” in the title in my physical TBR, and though I’m not SUPER excited about it at the moment, I’m keeping it as an option! (That second option book is Catching Stars, by Cayla Keenan, by the way.)

( MEDIUM PRIORITY ) CARE OF MAGICAL CREATURES — LAND ANIMAL ON THE COVER

For this class, I’ll most likely be reading The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Vol. 1: Squirrel Power, by Ryan North & Erica Henderson. This comic literally has a squirrel on the cover, which I’m sure you’ve guessed thanks to the name, and so it fits perfectly with this challenge. To be completely honest with you, I don’t know much about this comic, except for the fact that it seems amazing. They have it at my library, too, so I should be able to get to this one quite easily! Problem is, I don’t have it out from the library yet, so I might not be able to get to it in April. Worst case scenario, I’ll be reading The Storm Runner, by J.C. Cervantes, which has a dog on the back of the cover! (EDIT: There’s a slight chance I’ll instead read Catwoman: Soulstealer, as I still haven’t read it even though I borrowed it from the library last week.)

( HIGH PRIORITY ) CHARMS — ADULT BOOK

For this class, I’ve decided to read Daydreams of Angels, by Heather O’Neill. This is a collection of short stories that have been described as “fable-like tales”, so to say that I’m excited to read it would be an understatement. My mother read the French translation of it last year, loved it, and thought that I would love it too. Therefore, she bought it for me in English last Christmas, as she knows I prefer reading a book in its original language if possible, and now I get to read it for this readathon! Honestly, I’ve been itching to get to this book for a while now, and I can’t wait for April!

( HIGH PRIORITY ) DEFENCE AGAINST THE DARK ARTS — TITLE STARTS WITH “R”

For this class, I’ll be reading Royal Wedding, by Meg Cabot. This is the last book to have come out in The Princess Diaries, and is the only adult book out of this whole series. This series follows Mia, a regular girl who one day finds out that she’s the princess of a small European country. This was my favourite series when I was younger, even more so than Harry Potter, and I absolutely cannot wait to see these characters again! It feels like it’s been so long since I last read a book in that series, and I am thoroughly excited to get back into it.

( LOW PRIORITY ) DIVINATION — SET IN THE FUTURE

For this class, I’ll be reading Queen Song, by Victoria Aveyard. This is a prequel novella set in the Red Queen universe, and though I’ve read all the books that are out already, I’ve yet to read the novellas. Fortunately for me, this particular novella is available at my library through OverDrive, so that’s where I’ll be reading it! And though I won’t be prioritizing this class, as I don’t really see how useful Divination would be to me, as a healer, I’ll probably read it pretty early on in the month since it’s so short.

( HIGH PRIORITY ) HERBOLOGY — PLANT ON THE COVER

For this class, I’m planning on reading Frida, c’est moi, by Sophie Faucher & Cara Carmina. This is a children’s picture book about Frida Kahlo, and I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about it from basically everyone around me. It’s also 30 pages long, with very little text, which makes it perfect for a readathon. Also, since Herbology is one of the classes I absolutely need to become a Healer, I’ll definitely be prioritizing this book, and it might even be my first read of the readathon.

( MEDIUM PRIORITY ) HISTORY OF MAGIC — PUBLISHED 10+ YEARS AGO

For this class, I’m definitely going to be reading Les Trois mousquetaires (The Three Musketeers), by Alexandre Dumas! This is a French classic, and though it’s been a while since I read in French, it is my first language, and I will therefore be reading this book in its original language! I honestly watched the movie version of it so often when I was little, that I’m thoroughly excited to get back into this story. Also, it’s the book of the month for the Classics’ Support Group I’m hosting, so it all works out perfectly!

( MEDIUM PRIORITY ) MUGGLE STUDIES — CONTEMPORARY

For this class, I’ll be reading Belly Up, by Eva Darrows. I was lucky enough to get an e-ARC of this book, and since it’s coming out at the end of April, I thought it’d be perfect for me to read it during the readathon. This book follows a teen who becomes pregnant, and has been compared to, not only Juno (which I liked), but also to Gilmore Girls (which I adore and re-watch often). Therefore, to say that I’m excited to read this book would be quite the understatement.

( HIGH PRIORITY ) POTIONS — SEQUEL

For this class, I shall be reading Gone Rogue, by Marissa Meyer & Stephen Gilpin. This is the sequel to Wires and Nerve, a graphic novel that takes place in the world of The Lunar Chronicles after the events of the last book, Winter. I really, really liked Wires and Nerve, which surprised me since I had picked it up on a whim, and can’t wait to get to this one! Problem is, it’s a library book, so there is a slight chance I won’t be able to get my hands on it during April. If that happens, I’ll instead be reading A Swiftly Tilting Planet, by Madeleine L’Engle.

( HIGH PRIORITY ) TRANSFIGURATION — SPRAYED EDGES OR RED COVER

For this class, I’m planning on reading Heart of Iron, by Ashley Poston! Both because it’s the only book I own with sprayed edges that I haven’t read yet, but also because I’ve been itching to read it for a while now. I had actually started the book last year, but since I remember very little of it, I will be re-starting it all over from the beginning. I do remember the fact that I really liked what I had read, though, and am therefore very pumped to get back to this book!

Aaaaand, that’s it! Here are all the books I’m planning on reading for the 2019 O.W.L.s! I might end up reading more books than those twelve during the month, but either way, I’ll have had a very good reading month! School does come first, though, so there is a chance I won’t be able to get to all these books, but let’s hope I manage to organize my free time well enough so that I can read all of these.

What Dreams May Come by Lenore | Crimson Peake | Edith/Thomas | 5k | Ghosts are real, and there are things that tie them to this world. Sometimes it's because they want to linger, and sometimes it's because they are trapped. Sometimes ghosts need the help of the living before they can be truly free.

and prove your body wrong by paperclipbitch | The Defenders | Matt Murdock/Jessica Jones | 1k | Neither of them can read minds, but they both fake it for their day jobs.

these roads will take you into your own country by notbecauseofvictories | American Gods | Shadow/Laura, Gen | 5k | Here’s a joke for you: a Muslim, a zombie, and a leprechaun walk into a bar in Misery, Indiana. No one stares, because no one in the puckered, shitty asshole of Misery, Indiana gives a fuck. The Colts are playing.“Fucking new gods,” the leprechaun mutters, hunching his shoulders almost up to his ears. “Gridiron and Pepsi commercials.”

Small Step For Man by Toft [archived by yuletide_archivist] | Greek Myth | Artemis/Apollo | 4k | "It's all right, sister," Apollo whispers, and his arm is warm around her shoulder. She forgets, he is her twin, he is her other half; he knows her almost as well as she knows herself. "We're still the same."

learning curve by Yuu_chi | Detroit | Hank/Connor | 15k | “While sexual activity is not my default purpose, I do possess the capability,” Connor says without so much as batting an eye, unaware that he’s completely shattered Hank’s world view in one single sentence.

machine learning by kriegersan | Detroit | Hank/Connor | 31k | “This kinda shit doesn’t go away overnight. It’s only been a few months, Connor. We’re only just starting to know what this is gonna look like.” Lt. Anderson throws back his beer.“You think I don’t know that?” He sounds defensive. He tempers his voice. “I’m simply processing.”

eighteen wheels on an uphill climb by blackeyedblonde | Detroit | Hank/Connor | 73k | Hank is going to die. He’s going to die right here in Kentucky, 53 years old, halfway to broke, and tragically sober. Survived only by a nine-year-old St. Bernard and the 31-year-old twink who delivered the fatal blow.

Fuck pride (pride only hurts, it never helps) by ImogenGotDrunk | Detroit | Nines/Gavin | 40k | What Gavin cannot deal with is Connor’s replica; two inches taller, blue-eyed, and with a mouth that Gavin doesn’t know whether to punch or take between his teeth. The RK900 model has been assigned as his partner for the foreseeable future.

linguistics, semantics by pseudoanalytics | DBH | Hankcon | 49k | "So, what? Cyberlife gave you a preference for ugly, old, washed-up bastards?" Connor intentionally allows himself to appear unamused. "Absolutely not." He waits for Hank to look at him again before delivering his punchline. "I believe I developed that for myself."

Skin Deep by bughnrahk | DBH | Hankcon | 50k | Hank is 53 years old. He's never had a soul mark, doesn't have a soul mate. And he's fine with that. He cheated the system once and it cost him everything he had. Never again.When August 2038 rolls around and the number '313 248 317 - 51' appears on his arm in perfect Cyberlife Sans font, exactly where a soul mark should be, Hank wants nothing to do with it.

Watch Me, Watch You by elefseus (oscillos) | DBH | Hank/Connor | 82k | WIP | "How do you go about living when everything you've ever known changes? Can you?"

the most formidable lies by fshep | DBH | Connor/Gavin | 15k | WIP | Gavin is given an ultimatum: agree to give his mother’s coworker’s son a chance, or introduce his family to his new boyfriend, Connor, who isn’t his boyfriend at all.

February

and we'll figure it out by consumptive_sphinx | Temeraire | Lawrence/Tharkay | 1.5k | Everyone is born with their soulmate's name written on their skin, somewhere. Laurence has two names. Neither of them are in a script he can read.

Propriety and Fate by esama | Temeraire | Lawrence/Tharkay | 3.5k | It isn't as if one can go and talk about such things

Watercast by Fishwrites | Voltron | Keith/Lance | 205k WIP, Chapter 15 | Shiro has been a Galra prisoner for over a year; with his flight feathers clipped and unable to fly. Desperate to escape, he jumps overboard while being transported to the capitol on a Galran ship. Lance is a merman who saves him from drowning. Keith thinks Shiro is about to become mermaid dinner. Hunk just wants Lance to stop going to the surface all the time, dammit!

Afterlife by jaegermighty | Haunting of Hill House | Gen, Luke-centric | 6k | Leigh and Steve name their daughter Eleanore, with an 'e' on the end which is more old-fashioned, they say. Eleanore Olivia Crain. Lots of dead people in that name; Luke's not a fan. Not that anyone asked his opinion.

in memoriam by oxymoronic | Bartimaeus | Gen | 1.5k | Kitty Jones has but a little strength left in her body, and she has decided on this lazy summer's night to spend it on the question which has plagued her for half a century.

March

Second Chances by rootbeer | Teen Wolf | Sterek | 2k | "A lot of times the ‘markings’ were common, simple things you said to strangers all the time. 'Excuse me'; 'thank you'; 'hello'. Some got extremely romantic things like 'it’s you isn’t it? I’ve been waiting for you' or 'Wow you’re really pretty'. And they were always the first words their soulmate would ever say to them.Of course, having 'You are the fucking worst kind of person in the world' tattooed down your side, didn’t bode well.

have your cake and eat it too by keskasi | Naruto | Naruto/Sasuke | 7k | “What’s it like to give a blowjob?” Naruto asks.

Timing it Right by DragonBandit | The Bright Sessions | Mark/Damien | 14k | Damien's gold rises at Whitney. Mark tries to make things right.

April

and maybe you'll find a way to keep me a floating when i can't by LazyBaker | Stranger Things | 3k | Billie’s tough. Nothing but sharp edges with sharper teeth. She’s all bark and all bite.

A thousand by Ever-so-reylo (Ever_So_Reylo) | Star Wars | Reylo | 3k | “I’m going to kill you, now.” The problem is—really, the crux of all of Rey’s problems at the moment—he actually thinks he means it.

He Who Is Made Of Iron by MayContainBlueberries | The Queen’s Thief | Gen, Costis centric | Tea reminds Costis of his childhood.

May

for my wild by vixleonard | GOT | Arya/Gendry | Set post 8x04, Arya tries to find out who Arya Stark is now.

Almost Cool by blacktofade | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Shane/Ryan | 30k | While filming the Yuma Territorial Prison episode, Shane gets bitten by what he thinks is a bat. Spoiler alert: it's not.

Two Worlds Collided by blacktofade | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Shane/Ryan | 10k | There's a new guy at work and Ryan belatedly realizes they've actually already met once before.

Keeping Out the Cold by blacktofade | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane | After a strange ghostly encounter, Ryan and Shane begin sharing visions via a telepathic bond. AKA: the In Your Eyes AU that no one asked for.

Bringing Things Together by blacktofade | Buzzfeed Unsolved | 7k | “Look,” Shane says over the phone. “Mistakes were made.”

Pride by astolat | Game of Thrones | Jaime/Cersei/Brienne | 22k Jaime didn’t understand why Cersei suddenly insisted on trimming his hair and shaving his beard, but he also didn’t care to fight her on it, even though he’d just as soon have kept the beard: it was bitterly cold in the small tower room with its arrow-slits. At night, even curled together under the two blankets they’d been allotted, it took the better part of an hour before their bodies could warm the bed enough to sleep.

L'aura è tua messaggera by Rosyredlipstick | PJO | Nico/Will | 9k | Or, how the Stoll Brothers accidentally got Nico di Angelo and Will Solace together.

June

Competition by astolat | GoT | Jaime/Brienne | 11k | Almost the instant Brienne was out of earshot, Bronn turned to Podrick, jerked his head towards Jaime and asked, “Has he fucked her yet?”

Skin and Scales by Ernmark (M_Moonshade) | The Penumbra Podcast | Arum/Rilla/Damien | 17k | The man glares, and this time, Damien is certain it isn’t a trick of the light: those eyes are violet as amethyst. He wears disdain like a second skin–- or, perhaps, like the scales that he is missing.“Lord Arum?”

I will become yours and you will become mine by spiderwebsitar | DBH | Reed900 | 24k | After an argument with his new partner, Gavin Reed wakes up five years in the future married to an android who won’t stop making fucking waffles.

Numerology by Hth | Schitt’s Creek | Patrick/David, Sebastien/David | 20k | Still, it's true that Patrick can have his shy side. He likes to be a gentleman – Mr. Order Whatever You Want I'm Paying and Mr. Here Let Me Fix That For You and Mr. No David Not In the Backseat I Want It to Be Special – so David can't entirely rely on Patrick's willingness to charge forward for the greater good.

Ugly Words and Pretty Things by Ias | The Terror | Crozier/Fitzjames | 4k | There are words for a man like that.

Sands of Time by tirsynni | LoZ | Link/Ganondorf | 97k | Link awakens in the desert with no idea how he got there, to encounter his worst enemy...except it was the King of the Gerudo, not the King of Evil, he faced.

death shall be no more by Ias | The Terror | Fitzjames/Crozier | 5k | "I'd rather we leave our tents behind and sleep two to a sack like the orphans we are, than to leave one man alone with last burdens."

and then redemption by spidermooned (softlyblue) | Marvel | Spiderman & Loki | 7k | "Kid," says Tony Stark wearily, "Please gimme a reason Loki's been spotted talking to Spiderman that isn't 'I wanted to be his friend'. Please. Tell me you can do that."

so many ways to talk about longing by lymricks | Stranger Things | Harringrove | 3.6k | Steve wakes up--in a pool lounger--to Billy Hargrove looming over him. Billy pushes his sunglasses down and Steve thinks sleepily that it must be so that Steve gets the full impact of Billy’s narrow-eyed glare. “Harrington,” Billy says. “We’re fucking closed.”

sun gutters by lymricks | Stranger Things | Harringrove | 5k | Steve can feel Billy’s eyes on him. “You should get here early,” Billy says, casually. “Tomorrow. At six.”

Finders Keepers by blacktofade | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane | 3k | Ryan wakes with a hangover and an empty bed, and only one of them he expects.

Back Room by forthegreatergood | Good Omens | Aziraphale/Crowley | 5.6k | Aziraphale actually does have quite an extensive collection of pornography in the bookshop. Like most of the questionable things in Aziraphale’s life, it’s Crowley’s fault.

killed with kindness by veterization | Persona 5 | Akechi/Akira | 52k | Goro can't quite figure out why so many people keep acting like they're his friend.

On mandated uniforms and workplace entertainment by Thei | Stranger Things | Harringrove | 2k | Robin loves this job. Besides an income, it also provides her with quality entertainment. Especially when she's working with Steve, and Billy Hargrove shows up.

paper thin by sarcasticfishes | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane/Sara | 9k | Shane’s new neighbors are a morning-sex kind of couple.

your love is three times better by sarcasticfishes | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane/Sara | 14k | Ryan grimaces as he types out the words, >It’s Valentine’s Day. Don’t you want to do romance stuff?

you, through half-shut eyes by brawlite | Stranger Things | Harringrove | 8k | Two parts sugary sweet summer vibes, one part snarky instagram stories, and three parts mutual pining.

damn.nation, now available on itunes by antistar_e (kaikamahine) | Good Omens | Crowley/Aziraphale | 11k | When lowly tempt-pusher Amphora (formerly of Stairwell 7B North, before she Fell,) gets the notice that end times are nigh, she gleefully quits her job and cancels her Netflix subscription and takes her place among the legions of hell.This, it turns out, was a bad plan.

The Dragon and Her Wolves by hapakitsune | Game of Thrones | Sansa/Dany/Jon | 60k | When the truth of Jon's birthright is revealed, control of the North and Daenerys's claim to the Iron Throne are both called into question. To preserve their tenuous alliance and secure her rule, Daenerys puts aside her personal feelings to arrange a marriage of political convenience between Jon and Sansa Stark.

Bonded by softestpunk | The Witcher | Emiel/Geralt | 13k | Regis is punished for Dettlaff's assumed death, Geralt comes to the rescue, and the two of them gain something neither of them would ever have dared hope for.

something happens and i'm by brawlite | Stranger Things | Harringrove | 10k | Billy loves his job as at the Hawkins Community Pool. It's even better now that Steve Harrington's a lifeguard, too.

AN: Time to wrap this up :)

———————————————-

Two and a half years later

Baz never thought he'd look forward to his own wedding day. He always assumed it would be to a princess he didn't love at his father's request. Hell, it almost was. But now he stood smiling below deck of the HMS Juno, doing up the last button on his green coat (he refused to wear white) while Fiona fussed with his hair, and was so bloody excited

“So many strands keep falling out,” she muttered, trying to wrangle her nephew’s naturally wavy locks. “Jesus, your hair is almost as bad as Natasha’s curly mane was.”

“It's alright if you can't get all of,” Baz said kindly. “Simon likes it loose.”

She sighed dramatically. “Well, Simon doesn't understand that foreign lords want you to look regal. It being an official event and such.”

“But I’m a prince. Don't I always look regal by default?”

Fiona caught his sly smirk in the mirror, and rolled her eyes as she finally slicked back all his hair. She clapped his shoulder with a smile. “Perfect. You look fucking great, Baz.”

Baz put his hand over hers, squeezing once. “Thank you, Aunt Fiona. For everything.”

And he meant that. Even after the craziness of Simon’s father, Malcolm was still a bit hesitant to let the boys be together. Fiona had yelled at him so loud everyone’s ears rang. She’d repeated what she’d told Baz, that her own parents had been against Malcolm and Natasha marrying. And if Malcolm truly wanted to honour his late wife’s memory, he’d let their son be with who he wanted too. Baz had to try very hard to keep from smiling the entire time. Malcolm relented on the condition that Simon and Baz wait at until they were at least twenty-one to get married. Which the boys agreed to, as they wanted time together without the binding nature of marriage. Maybe deep down Malcolm hoped the time would end their relationship.

But the two years year had not changed Simon and Baz’s feelings. Rather, it had only made them grow stronger. The men were so different yet fit so perfectly. Simon would get Baz to do new, fun activities and properly alert him when he was being a prick. Baz would kindly teach Simon about human things and keep him from doing anything too destructively impulsive. Eventually, at Malcolm's suggestion, Baz started asking for Simon’s help on kingdom policies, and they were a surprisingly good governing team. The king and the council were quite impressed at their combined work.

Sometimes their time together wasn’t even that life changing. Sometimes it was just Baz reading to and playing the violin for his ‘sweetheart’ (as Fiona mockingly called Simon). Or Simon baking a new recipe for Baz to try while talking about his work day at Ebb’s bakery. Or even just going wandering around town and swimming in the ocean. It was the happy life they both so desperately wanted, and they had it together.

So after about six months together, they knew they would get married. Because late one night, when they were laying on the beach and staring at the star speckled sky, Baz told Simon he was sure he was hopelessly in love with him. And almost immediately, Simon whispered that he was too between pressing heated kisses to Baz’s cool lips.

Now, after half a year of planning the grand affair, Baz stood in front of the mirror, grinning more than he ever had in his life. Because it was his wedding day, and he was marrying the man he knew he wanted to spend his every day with. He was living quite the charmed life.

A knock sounded against the door. Fiona rushed to open it. “Simon!” She practically squeaked. “You’re not supposed to see each other before the ceremony!”

Baz strided up behind her. “I’m pretty sure that only applies to brides, Fiona. And if you haven’t noticed, neither of us are brides.”

She sighed exasperatedly. “Very well. Just don’t take too long. We have a wedding to get to!”

“Of course, Fiona,” Simon said sweetly.

With that, Fiona Pitch let herself out and closed the door behind her. Simon walked forward, grinning just as hard as Baz, maybe even harder. He looked so uncharacteristically clean cut. His wild hair was slicked back (though the stray curl escaped) and he was wearing the stunning grey suit that had once been Baz’s. He’d gifted it to Simon ages ago, because it fit the other man so much better. Baz reached up to fix a button at Simon’s collar, while also pulling his fiancé closer. It was just far too convenient.

“Hello, love,” he whispered. “Fancy seeing you here.”

Simon chuckled while winding his arms around Baz’s waist. “Well, I was invited, was I not?”

“It wouldn’t be happening without you, darling.” He sighed, delicately holding Simon’s neck, trailing up and down his skin. “It really wouldn’t.”

“Well, I can't take all the credit. You did heroically dive after me to save me from my evil arsehole father. Though you did fail...”

“You’re forgetting that I also drove a bloody ship into him.”

“Yes, but then I had to save you from drowning. Again.

Baz flicked his face, eliciting snickers from Simon. “Can't believe I'm marrying someone as infuriating as you.”

“But you are,” Simon singsonged. He kept giggling, so Baz kissed him to shut him up.

Simon and Baz had kissed many times in the past two years. There was their first one on the beach, the small ones when they said goodbye after a long day together, and the breathless ones they shared in Baz’s room or Simon’s flat at night. But every kiss, every time their lips slotted together perfectly, still felt so amazing. Definitely including this one.

When the men pulled apart, they kept their foreheads pressed together and eyes closed. Baz traced over the silver buttons of Simon’s jacket. Simon delicately dragged his hand up and down Baz’s sides. Soon they would need to put on a show for everyone else. But this moment was just for them.

“I love you,” Baz whispered.

Simon sighed, lacing their fingers together and brushing his nose against Baz’s long one. And he said “I love you too” with absolutely no words.

A banging on the door made them both jump. “Simon! Baz!” Mordelia yelled. “Fiona says if you two aren’t out here in five minutes she’s dragging you out by your ears!”

Simon muffled his laugh in Baz’s shoulder. Baz stroked his back while rolling his eyes at his little sister through the door.

“We’ll be right out, Mordy!”

“You better be!”

The little girl’s skips faded away one by one. Simon pulled back, body still convulsing with laughter.

“You’re family, is insane,” he stuttered out.

Baz rolled his eyes with a wry smile. “Well you’re about to become a part of it, so what does that say about you?”

Simon shrugged. (Baz had realised ages ago that, even with a voice, Simon shrugged very often.) “Guess that means I’m insane too.”

“I supposed we match then.” Baz gripped his hand tightly, just once. Simon showed a toothy grin and squeezed back.

“I guess we do.”

Baz pulled Simon towards the door. “Come along then. We’ve got a wedding to attend.”

Simon skipped to follow him. “That we do, love.”

———————————————-

Because there would be no bride in this affair, it had been decided early on that Baz and Simon would walk each other down the aisle. Lords and ladies alike stood on both sides as the couple strolled past arm in arm. They stayed stoic, as was customary. But they noticed the small smiles on their friend’s and family member’s faces. Malcolm wasn’t smiling, but when he and Baz made eye contact, the corners of his lips turned up, just slightly. Baz immediately felt resounding relief.

They stopped in front of the priest, hand in hand. The holy man droned on about love and commitment and tying lives together for eternity. All things Simon and Baz had already thought and talked about on their own. So neither of them paid great attention to him. Baz was too focused on the way Simon’s freckles and moles crinkled with his grin. And Simon lost himself in Baz’s deep sea eyes, now lit up with joy.

“Do you,” the priest said loudly, “Prince Tyrannus Basilton Grimm-Pitch, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?”

Baz held his hands just a bit tighter. “I do.”

“And do you, Simon Snow, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?”

Simon smiled just a bit wider. “I do.”

“You may exchange the rings.”

Baz pulled the ring from his pocket first. It was a gold band, just smooth yellow metal. Simple, yet elegant. Baz and Simon had picked them together over two years ago, the day after their confessions on the beach. One slipped onto Simon’s finger, and then the other went just as easily onto Baz’s. They held hands again, standing much closer.

“Then by the power vested in me,” the priest announced. “I pronounce you husband and husband. You may kiss the groom.”

Simon leaned forward, but yelped as he was suddenly swept into a dip. Baz loomed over him with a smug grin.

“Show off,” Simon giggled.

“Oh, shut up,” Baz replied. Then kissed him firmly to a roar of applause.

They separated reluctantly, but they also knew there’d be more time for kissing (and a lot more) later. Everyone cheered and tossed rice at the newly wedded couple as they walked back down the aisle. Baz lifted his hand to try to block them, scowling menacingly. He did not appreciate small white pellets being tossed at him. But when Simon laughed loudly, his frown softened.

The applause died down. Except for one person at the very end of the boat. Everyone turned to face the noise, and some nearly fainted. But Simon grinned. He pulled Baz to the very edge of the ship, nearly crashing into the railing.

“Hey, Pen,” he said fondly.

“Hey, boys” Penelope replied from her water pillar. “I think congratulations are in order.”

Simon lifted up his ring hand, still holding Baz’s. “Yup. I’ve officially tied him down.”

Baz scoffed. “Like you could ever tie me down, Snow. I’m too much of a free spirit for that.”

Simon stuck his tongue out, then pressed a wet kiss to his cheek. Penny promptly made an overdramatic gagging noise.

“You do that again in front of me, I’ll zap you into next week.” She waved her trident menacingly. After defeating David, she’d kept the weapon, and certainly put it to much better use than he ever did.

“I know you would, Pen.” He leaned forward, a lazy smile on his lips. “This wouldn’t have happened without you, y’know.”

She put a hand to her chest, lifted her chin smugly. “Yes, it’s all thanks to me. I’m the world’s greatest matchmaker.”

Baz rolled his eyes. “Taking a bit too much credit there, I think.”

Penelope reached out and patted his head, only making him groan and scowl. “Even on your wedding day, you’re still such a sourpuss, Basilton. Simon, what do you see in him?”

The men stared at each other for a long moment. Simon let his gaze linger over Baz’s sharp face, which was softened by his content smile. Even with his voice he couldn’t describe exactly what he loved about Baz. Their relationship wasn’t made of words. It was made of charged moments, kind actions, and shared adoring expressions that said so much more than speech. And Baz looked at him in the exact same way.

“A lot,” Simon said softly. “I see a lot.”

“Me too,” Baz replied, voice just as kind.

Simon pressed a quick kiss to his lips, which promptly made them both turn bright scarlet in bashful happiness.

“Neptune’s Beard, you two are disgusting,” Penny groaned.

Before Baz could shoot back some equally snide remark, Simon stepped forward and wrapped his arms around his friend. Penny stiffened at first, but quickly reciprocated. There was a chorus of ‘aws’ behind them they soundly ignored.

“Thank you, Penny,” he whispered, on the brink of happy tears. “Thank you so, so much.”

“You’re welcome, Si. I’m so happy for you. Both of you.”

The friends separated. Simon pecked on her cheek, and she made the appropriate sarcastic ‘yuck’ noise. Baz, proper gentleman that he was, offered his hand to shake, which Penelope gladly took.

“Come visit the cove when the honeymoon’s done, yeah?” Both the men nodded. They’d made a habit of visiting Penelope in a small cove just off the castle every two weeks at least. It wasn’t a tradition they planned to break any time soon.

Penelope slowly lowered back down into the ocean, waving as she went. “Congratulations, boys!”

The ship started to move again. It would make a long circle of the ocean while they all celebrated. Simon and Baz waved back, watching as the mermaid shrank away then dived back under the sea.

Simon sighed, leaning his head onto his husband’s shoulder. “I need a nap,” he mumbled

“Hate to tell you, love, but we need to go entertain our guests.”

Simon groaned and pushed his face into Baz’s jacket. “Fine. But can we get scones?”

Baz lightly kissed his hair. “Of course we can, Simon.”

They walked back towards the wedding guests, who were starting to mill about around the grand ship. The newlyweds graciously received their polite well wishes from visiting nobility. Fiona rubbed their hair so hard that both of them looked disheveled. Ebb gave them big tearful hugs. Niall and Dev gave them brotherly, yet slightly painful, slaps to the back. Daphne kissed their cheeks and wished them a happy union. The Grimm children enthusiastically asked when Simon was moving into the castle. (“After the honeymoon,” Baz replied. “Not like it will be a big change though,” Simon said. “I practically live there already.”) Agatha, along with her own “sweetheart”, congratulated them warmly. Finally, Malcolm shook their hands.

“Congratulations, you two,” he said.

“Thank you, your majesty.” Simon started bowing, but Malcolm waved for him to stop.

“No need for that, Simon. You’re family now. Malcolm will do just fine.”

Simon smiled, holding Baz’s hand a bit tighter. “Okay, Malcolm.”

Malcolm placed a strong hand on Baz’s shoulder. For once, he didn’t try to hide his happy expression, not even a bit. “Your mother would be very proud of you too, Baz.”

Baz blinked rapidly, trying to process the words. The sentiment was wonderful enough. He could almost imagine his mother standing there, saying something similar, giving him a kiss on the cheek and a soft smile. It was also the first time in Baz’s entire memory that his father had called him by his preferred name. It was such a small gesture, but it meant the world to him. He placed his free hand over his father’s. He wouldn’t go for a hug of course, but this meant just as much.

“Thank you, father,” he replied, voice thankfully only cracking slightly.

Malcolm nodded once then went back to join the fray. Simon and Baz stood still for a second, simply watching the people around them, hand in hand.

“You happy, Baz?” Simon whispered playfully.

Baz turned to him and tucked a tousled curl behind his ear. “Yes, Simon. More than I ever thought I could be.”

“Good.” Simon tapped their noses together. “Me too.”

They kissed softly once. Then a few more times, just because they could. Suddenly, everyone around them gasped and they pulled apart. A gorgeous rainbow arched over their boat. But there was no rain to cause it. The men looked over the edge of the boat, and caught a glimpse of a purple fin diving into the water.

“She’s thinks she’s funny,” Simon chuckled, shaking his head.

“Obviously,” Baz said. He tried to sound annoyed but couldn’t help smiling.

“C’mon.” He tugged Baz towards the crowd of people. “Let’s go.”

Simon meant more than the party. He meant their future together, full of so much potential. No more worrying about possibly miserable lives for either of them. The couple knew they’d always have each other, for anything. Nothing could keep them apart. Not land or sea, not magical plots or disapproving fathers. Because Simon loved Baz, and Baz loved Simon. There was not a single more powerful truth in this world.

They would carry on together, no matter what.

“Yes, Simon,” Baz said, spinning his husband into his arms, ready to dance the evening away. “Let’s.”

The End.

———————————————-

AN: And that's the actual end! Simon and Baz are married and happy and in love, just as they should be <3 Sorry for the excessive exposition at the start but sadly I don't have time to cover two years of their relationship lol. But I'm happy with the way this epilogue has turned out.

I first had the idea for this fic last year, and I never thought I'd actually write it, let alone finish it. Thank you to everyone who liked, reblogged, commented on, and kudosed (is that a word?) this fic. "Part of Your World" is a fluffy labour of love and the fact that people enjoy it makes me so happy. Every response big and small has made my day. And final shout out to @carryonmylovelies because she gave me so many ideas and support in the months it took to write this. I love you bestie <3

Now, this fic may be done, but that doesn't mean the snowbaz fun is over, obviously. I've got requests to fill, my other ideas, and the scary ass compulsion to write every day or I go insane. So if you liked this, I've got quite the archive of fics already and there are more to come. Once again, thank you for reading and have a awesome day :)
