For the Elucien week drabbleathon, can I have Lucien finding out about his bio father and talking through his feelings with Elain?

ELUCIEN WEEK

DAY 7: FREE CHOICE

Okay so this is kinda funny to get this. I actually have this in my docs that's a multi chapter fic. The feelings bit with Elain is spoilery for the story itself so I can't share that...yet. But what I can do is show this part. Basically in this story, Elain finds out of Lucien's parentage through a vision and this scene below is what happens after that. It's set to be a few parts. Where Lucien deals with this information and then Lucien and Elain playing matemakers lmao. The chapter after this is where we deal with Lucien and talking to Elain I can tag you in it whenever I post this story to tumblr.

TRIGGER WARNING: very, very slight mention of child abuse

The three of them settled in the sun-lit room. For an office it was worlds different than Rhys' in the river estate back in Velaris. That room was a standard four walls. This one, Helion's office in the Day Court was a rounded room. Tall ivory columns wrap around the circular area. There were no windows, it was simply an open space allowing the sunlight and the warm kiss of its rays inside to dance along the tiled floor. Elain adored the sun peering in at every angle and the soft breeze that followed. She only wished they were here for better circumstances.

Glancing between the High Lord of Day and her mate, the resemblance was uncanny. From their posture, sitting regal yet with an air of recklessness to the silken strands of hair, matching grins, and the shape of their eyes. Mother above even their nose was the same. There was no denying her vision wasn’t false. They scarcely were.

When she told Lucien of seeing Helion and his mother, he refused to believe it. He was Beron's son unfortunately. His mother would never hide this from him. Elain pointed out to him that he did in fact cleave an unbreakable spell to come to her aide that day in Hyberns. No Autumn court member, high fae or otherwise had done that. Lucien attempted to pin it on the bond. Elain dismissed it bringing up his tendency to glow when in the throes of passion. The seer had once asked her sister if this common for faes to glow while being intimate. Feyre told her it was power from the High Lord of Day. Elain never could make sense of it. Why her mate glowed like a fire bug in the summer seasons until her vision. Lucien claimed it could be from a crossed lineage years ago.

“Lucien...you said you never felt like you were a Vanserra. That there was something wrong with you.”

“Maybe this is why. Because you’re not a Vanserra. We go to the Day Court and ask Helion says no then fine.”

There was panic and fear in his russet eyes when he looked at her. “What if he says yes?”

Elain crossed the threshold to her love taking his face in her hands, resting their foreheads together, her fingers lacing with his. “Then I will be there with you and together we will hear him out.”

With reluctance he agreed and now they were here, an awkward tension like a dense fog slowly filling the silent room.

Lucien leaned backed in the golden chair, hand flexing at fae speed on the arm of it, his equally golden eye whirring as it zeroed in on Helion. The High Lord's brows quirked up in amusement, a roguish smirk pulled at the corner of his lips.

"I've always wondered what that eye of yours could do. What it could see." Elain's cheeks flushed a vibrant pink, Helion's gaze fell on her offering a wink, "Petal." He purred, "Is it alright if I call you petal?"

The smile he gave her could turn someone's insides into liquid heat. No wonder he had as many lovers as there were clouds in the sky. She chuckled before answering, shifting in her seat, "Elain is fine."

"Ah, I see. We don't want to upset your mate and have him feel left out."

Helion turned to Lucien who remained silent and watching. A steely gaze on his father, Not father and his boots tapping with the same ferocity as his hand. Elain reached through the bond feeling wave after wave of anxiousness roiling through him. It was enough to make her feel nauseous like they were in a sea of turbulent waters instead of seated, far away from any ocean. His heart, she could tell, was battering so quickly Elain was surprised it didn’t fling directly out of chest. There was something else she noticed in the bond. Realization. He knew. And Lucien was not handling it well in his mind. Elain poured her affections down the bond then overlapping her hand with his. Sweeping a thumb over his knuckles. A silent statement to say, I'm here.

Elain smiled tenderly, noting the appreciation in his russet eye as Lucien glanced at her fingers. Sliding in between his own, squeezing them in reassurance. He repeated the action to her, holding tightly as if she were the only thing keeping him tethered to reality. Then his eyes met hers. The nervousness etched on his beautiful face softened. Her heart fluttered as it always did when he looked at Elain this way. Like she was his home. His comfort. His everything. Just as he was hers.

Helion coughed a bit too loudly to be real, breaking their moment, "I hate to break up this lovely storybook moment petal. If this is about the Pegasus who ate Rhys' shirt. One Rhys should come and two he left it in the stables. If you’ll excuse me, I do have a party to prepare for and guests will be arriving shortly.” Helion made to stand.

"Sit.” Lucien snarled. Helion’s eyes widened at the pitch and the bite of the one word. “We don't know anything about a Pegasus. We're here on our own accord." Lucien curtly stated.

The two high fae stared each down as Helion slid back into his chair. The fog thick tension is now so deep a knife could only strike it. Helion lifted a hand over his heart " Unfortunately, I don't take mated mates as lovers. I'm honored you thought of me to share your bed." He teased with a lovers grin. The fire in Lucien’s eye was a roaring flame. He was several seconds from exploding. Elain has seen him angry, furious, but nothing like this. If he wasn’t her mate, she’d be frightened at the burning rage beneath him.

"I find that odd. Being if Feyre or Nesta were here you'd take the chance." Elain challenged feeding off the energy her mate emitted.

"I-" His eye shuttered briefly before meeting Elain's again, "Sweet petal," he crooned before he could speak again Elain cut him off feeling Lucien's waring feelings churning through the bond.

"There's a reason you'd deny me. Us. I think it deals with a vision I had and Lucien." She gripped her mate tighter feeling his hand grow clammy yet white hot beneath her own.

Helion grew quiet, brows pressed together, his tanned chest rising and falling in rapid succession. Holding a stern gaze with Lucien. "Of?"

"The past."

Helion blanched, the color of his skin fully drained. All hints of the easy going High Lord faded into nothing. A mask of steel replaced it.

"What did you see?" His voice faltered, shaking and strained. He cleared his throat, aiming for a deeper tone in his voice. One that caused anyone to listen and obey. If an ominous storm with roaring thunder that streaked the sky in lighting had a voice it would’ve sounded like this. It came through gritted teeth in a low predatory growl. "What did you see?"

"You will not speak to her like that." Lucien snapped. Slamming his fists on the desks sparks of embers shot from his hands. Elain jumped back into the chair. Helion had the good sense to look startled for a moment, "Unlike you or my mother, she doesn't keep things from me." then Lucien added that and the steeled features returned.

It was Helion’s turn to stand and move for move copy his son’s actions. “Listen boy. I will rip your throat out if you insult your mother like that in my presence again are we clear?”

Lucien scoffed. Not the usual playful scoff Elain had grown accustomed to. This was laced with malice. “You don’t think I’ve heard threats like this before? My entire life? "I've been beaten for saying less.”

Elucien watched as the emotionless expression Helion wore quickly faded. Now his face crumbled. Pained with grief, the glow in his eyes gone as he stepped away from Lucien. Her eyes darted between the two. This wasn’t just protecting a secret she realized. There was love here. For the lady of the autumn court, and for his son. Her mate.

"I'm sorry." Helion let out in a defeated sigh. "Forgive me. forgive us."

For as fast as that heated anger ripped through Lucien, it seemed to to die down. Like the loud sigh for Helion somehow cooled her mate down.

"I-" Lucien turned to Elain unsure of what to do. Elain did not respond the whites of her eyes rolled up, her body falling back into the chair.

Mate.

The word seared in her head, when thrust back into the past, seeing Helion and the Lady of the Autumn Court together. As if her inner eye was speaking to her, revealing a part neither Lucien nor herself were ready for. Now she felt it. The golden spark tethering two souls. Pure, protective, unbreakable love. Seconds later she came back to reality.

Lucien no longer standing at the desk but kneeling in front of her. Calloused palms on hers while he searched her features.

“Elain?”

She didn’t look at him. Her gaze landed on Helion who took a step back.

“You’re mates."

“There are things bigger than telling you the truth. Stakes are high dealing with him and a situation like ours. This conversation cannot happen here.” Helion drew a finger to follow as he stood. “Ears are everywhere in Prythian. You should know this.” He fixed a sorrowful look on Lucien. “We will talk in my inner office.”

[cursedzucchini]

Ok i just wanna add my little idea; he'd write fix it where Lizzie and Charlotte ended together. Bc as much as Lizzie and Darsley (apologies i definitely spelled that wrong) r cute together, when i was younger and my parents played it for me and my siblings in the car, we kinda agreed Charlotte and Lizzie def have something going on. So the fix it would just be the two of them together but Jason would vehemently deny it's actually a fix it. Like the in the summary there's an 'explanation' that this isn't fix it bc how could he, a simple guy who knows nothing could ever wish to fix something by the goddess Jane Austen????? No way people, fix it just kinda....... Fits the best..BUT ITS NOT FIX IT OK??'

Alright now a whole different thing i thought of. What if, Danny wasn't Jason's fan, but rival?

Bc listen that shit has so much potential. Danny would be writing his own fanfiction (warrior cats popped up in my head, might not be a good idea but I'm rn really tired so I'm putting it here anyway) but like half of the comments are about how this xxxnightbirdxxx has a FF under the same name and some imply it's so much better. So Danny, a proud 12 yo goes to this night bird's account and reads all of their work so he could properly destroy criticize them.

But unfortunately, Danny loves their fanfiction. And all their other stuff. BUT! He cannot let that deter him!! And so he gets into all the stuff Jason did (even reads pap lmao) and writes his own fanfictions.

Jason on the other hand is doing good. His fanfictions are pretty popular, not that he cares. ......if only this xXxnightblobxXx stopped annoying him!

First Jason didn't really mind, since to be honest nightbird isn't that similar, but than he discovered they wrote a fanfiction for the same fandom w the same name!! And while yeah it's not a crime, the comments r still annoying.

And than!!!!! The blob has the audacity to start writing under the same fandom?????? And roast him in the notes???????? Without even having the guts to tag him???????????? Oh hell no, Jason's gonna destroy him.

And so starts the rivalry ✨✨ yay!! Tbh both of them think the other one has only one goal and that is to make them miserable. The fans who started this don't really mind bc even if both of them have wildly different writing habits, they're gonna get double the content!! That's a win win right there fellas.

Anyway this goes on for 2 years, and both of them go from casual writers to fandom legends, bc their rivalry?? Immaculate.

Whenever they have to put an oc in there, they parody each one another, but it goes from "waah, I'm annoying i copy the other ones work" to a whole ass elaborate characters which are sometimes even more fleshed out than the canon characters. It's fuckibg hilarious, like some people just read their work to know the lore of these two.

And yeah maybe along the way they become more friends than rivals, but it's not like they realize it, or even gonna tell the other one. Like seriously they even gave each other their phone number so they could shit talk each other's work. They're very serious about this rival stuff.

And than.... Yeah stuff happens. Jason doesn't post on time and while Danny worries, he's trying to get closer to his friends, so maybe he could check on the other after he hangs out w his irl friends? They're just gonna visit the basement it's not like something can happen haha.

...anyway. Danny becomes phantom, and he totally forgets about his fanfiction career (and legacy, seriously ur fans r wondering if y'all committed suicide ala Romeo and Juliet, where are you guys??)

Years pass by, Danny's still superheroing, Jason gets resurrected, becomes red hood, Danny gets caught by giw, Jason does what he does as red hood, Danny permanently shuts down the portal, Jason becomes lil more sane, Danny has a falling out w his fam, Jason has falling in w his fam and suddenly they're both 22 and and don't quite know what to do with their lives.

Anyway Danny faintly remembers writing something and...posting it? He's not quite sure, his memories of that time r quite fuzzy, and lots of happen since then, but he's pretty sure he had lots of fun. So he hacks (bc there's no way he remembers his password from 10 years ago) into his old email, and oh. Oh wow, he was pretty cringe lol. He goes through his works, and laughs and cringes (a lot) and sees this guy xxxnightbirdxxx. And remembers.

Wow young Danny had no chill... To be honest he's a little embarrassed over what he wrote and what he said. It wasn't even that bug deal. But it's obvious Nightbird was also a lil kid, so it's not that big of a deal.

He's about to check his pap fanfiction (bc he forgot he even read that...... And looking at the summary he must've read it several times, because some of these details and theories...... Oh wow) when a notification comes. Danny's curious who he followed as a little kid so he plans on checking them out when...

It's xXxNightBirdxXx. They updated after 8 years.

Danny cracks his screen, when he sees what they posted.

It's rewrite of that one (warrior cats) fanfiction they met over.

But Danny is an adult and not a petty 12 yo and he can be mature. Yeah, this is making him feel lots of feelings, but an adult. He's not gonna have revive his rivalry w a dude that obviously had enough problems to disappear for 8 years.

That is, until he reads the posted chapter.

Because bird, that copying piece of shit, used some whole ass passages from Danny's fanfiction!! They reused his ideas, and only changed them a little!! They didn't even give him credit in the notes before the chapter!!

Danny reads the whole chapter until the end. He's still trying his best to be an adult, and not be petty, but that all goes out of the window, when he sees the end author's note.

There's no credit for him, but more outrageous is in Danny's opinion his excuse for not posting for 8 years.

(I'm.imagining the nite looks something like this:

[hello lovelies I'm so sorry i didn't update for so long ;^^

I had some issues irl, and it's not quite solved, but that's life right haha

Anyway i guess i owe you explanation. But I'm sure you can imagine. I died, i was resurrected, i was brainwashed by an evil cult, almost killed my brother, i reread pap (it's still as good as i remember), almost killed my brother (different some), caused some mayhem, became a villain, started a gang, tried to take revenge for my death, had a reconcilation w my family, baked some cookies and became an anti hero.

Well i never really thought i was gonna come back to this account, but yesterday i couldn't sleep, and when i looked at the computer in the morning, this was there, so... I guess take it? I know it's not that good, but I've been busy killing people, so i think it's ok.

Anyway thank you so much for your worries, all your comments really helped me through a lot, and in the future you can expect some new projects!! (Recently i read shattered and boy do i have some thoughts)

So bye till next time])

Danny didn't even realize he was typing out a comment, until he posted it. He was just so angry!! How dare bird just disappear for questionable amount of time, and than come back and just..... Use Danny's explanation for why he was away??? Also obviously they must be joking, because ghosts aren't able to use electronics unless they are specialize in it or something idk. So overall Jason's comment was very insensitive to the ghost community. (This is basically just Danny getting offended over nothing, bc sometimes u just hate ppl and it doesn't matter what they do, I'm not sure I explained it in such a way tho)

Anyway Danny's comment is basically gaslight gatekeep girl boss lol. He accuses them of not actually dying, of copying his work, and of making fun of people who survived death.

And Jason, who was kinda nervous about this, sees this random dude, absolutely unprovoked, telling him he didn't actually die? And yeah, maybe every other author after longer hiatus says they died, but he actually did, so he thinks he has the right to say it.

And so starts Rivalry™ No 2. <3

Like Jason responds Lowkey agressive, and they trauma dump each other and it's beautiful. They exchange phone numbers (again) and i imagine their conversation going like.

Danny: ok gimme a proof u actually died

Jason: *sends photo of his death certificate, like he will prove to this Twink that he died, even if he has to reveal his secret identity dammit* what Abt u huh?? Do u have any proof????

Danny: oh wowwwww so now we shame halfas for no one noticing they died?? Wowwww that's sooooo mature. I bet you even have a grave

Jason: that doesn't sound like an excuse at all. You definitely died, just no one noticed, really.

Danny: I'm sorry for dying in my parents basement???? And that no one discovered my body before i ressurected?????? What the hell dude, not cool. Also doubting how someone died is really dude. You yonlungsters don't know how good you have it

Or

Jason: so your town just have ghosts. And no one heard about it

Danny: i already told you, this local billionare

Jason: this... Vlad masters??? That doesn't even sound like a real name *Jason did not research this, he doesn't care if he's wrong, he just wants to argue lol*

Danny: we had a whole invasion!

Jason: and the justice league never heard of it??? Doubt it

Danny: how do u know if they heard of it or not?? Are you their secretary

Jason, about to call Bruce and become he's secretary: actually i am

Or something like this lmao.

I'm kinda imagining this becoming more and more heated, until Danny mentions pariah, and Jason goes wait a minute this sounds a lil concerning.....

And Jason also mentions the rage and Danny goes yhhhh maybe dude actually died????

And now their biggest concern is how to tell their families, their rival of 10 years who they met through writing fanfiction, might be in something in their jurisdiction.

DPxDC Prompt where when Jason dies, his AO3 account goes sadly untouched for an uncharacteristically long time (considering his near-weekly updates prior to his death). His sudden absence does not go unmissed by his dedicated readers, and Danny’s always wondered what the hell happened to xXxNight_BirdxXx.

He mostly forgets about it– too distracted by the portal accident and fighting ghosts– but Danny never unsubscribes.

Years later, Danny just about breaks his phone when he gets an email notification saying that one of his favorite old fanfics updated. It’s one by xXxNight_BirdxXx, who he’d all but assumed fucking died (considering the guy also dropped off of the other community tabs he used to frequent).

When Danny checks the update, the author’s note is… a little strange. He thinks that xXxNight_BirdxXx might be joking about dying, coming back and digging his way out of his own coffin, and then getting sidetracked by revenge for a few years, but… well, Danny’s seen weirder.

Danny decides to take the most obvious course of action: subtly trying to ask this man a few ghostly questions through his comment section.

Credits to: please tell me if you know who the artist is so I can give them the credits and tag them properly. Thank you. !!!

- Well, well my dear anon. I decided to pair you up with Vinsmoke Sanji because I think that you need lots of love and appreciation. And I think that he is someone who can give you all of that and even more.

- You were walking around the deck of the Sunny. Thinking about everything but also nothing at the same time. One minute you were thinking about your friend who send you a letter just yesterday and minutes later you would be walking around with a empty head. For a person that barely talked or spoke up about anything your mind was always somehow occupied with something.

- Two months. Since two months you were sailing with the strawhats who recruited you to join the crew of the future pirate king.

- You liked all of the crew members. But out of all of them you liked Robin and Zoro the most since they were pretty chill and calm people. They were quite and didn´t talk much. You could be sitting next to them without having to hold conversations. You could be sitting next to each other without a glimpse of awkwardness.

- Every member of the strawhat crew knew that you weren´t the most talkative person and accepted you the way you were. But still they somehow always tried to get you to talk. And one of them tried that the most. That person was none other than the ships cook, Sanji.

- You were aimlessly walking around the ship with eyes fixed on the ground when you felt your legs getting tired. You were close to the tree with the swing so you took the opportunity to take a seat on the swing and slowly sway yourself back and forth. You were once again lost in your thoughts when you felt a blanket being placed over your shoulder. The sudden contact made you flinch slightly and look up only to find the first mate standing in front of you. “Oi are you okay? I went to train in the crow’s nest around 6 pm when I saw you walk around on your own.”, with a visibly confused and a tilted head you were looking the green haired man in the eyes. “And?”, you wondered. Zoro raised a brow. “Y/N. It´s half past nine now. Didn´t you realize how dark it got? You´re pretty weird but that’s fine since none of us are normal. Not even Nami who´s not a devil fruit user.”, the words of the swordsman made you laugh. “Thank you for the blanket but I am not weird. I am just not really talkative like some of ya´ll. ”, you said while cuddling into the blanket. “I am fine with that. In fact that makes me like you the most since you´re pretty chill. Anyways I gotta go and shower. It´s your turn with the night watch I suppose. Good luck with that stupid cook. Night.”, without waiting for a reply he left you alone.

- When you thought you were alone footsteps could be heard behind you. You took a look at your left just to find Sanji walking down the stairs in black pants and a white shirt. Rolled up sleeves showing that he left the kitchen minutes ago and a new cigar between his lips he walked down the stairs with one hand in his pocket. No matter how he put a step he always looked elegant and gracious. “It kinda makes me sad to see that you talk and even laugh with that marimo but not me. Did I do something wrong my dear?”

- Out of all the people on the ship you never thought of hearing such a question come from the gentlest and loving person. You never thought that he would ever ask such a question because you always thought he could and would understand you without having to speak about it. “You seem to not like me much. Are you?”, he said with a beautiful smile upon his lips.

- “It´s not like that. It´s just that he never makes me talk. He listens when I do but other than that he never tries to make me speak because he understands that I don´t like to talk much. And when I do out of nervousness he makes me stop and takes over. He might not look like it but he truly is a understanding man. And so is Robin.”, “And I am not?”, you shook your head and smiled back at the cook. “You´re different. You are my comfort and save place.”

- The words that left your lips made Sanji widen his eyes out of shook. For a second his mind went blank but quickly was able to pull himself back together. He lit up the cigar between his lips and put both of his hands in his pocket.

- Sanji always tried his best to get you to talk and look people in the eyes when you did but he never forced you into anything. He always tried his best to make you speak out your thoughts and opinion on everything as gentle as possible. He was always caring towards you and always kept an eye on you. He understands you better than you do. He can read through your facet that was supposed to show a brave and strong you. A woman that was not shy. A extroverted, active woman. He was able to look into your soul and give you whatever your heart desired. No matter if it was food, clothes, books or simply the comfort of a silent room.

- “I really appreciate your words. In fact I am honored to have you see me worthy enough to be beside and with you. Although I wish for it to be more than that.”, out of habit you tiled your head slightly to the side that showed your confusion. You were about to ask what he meant but got cut off when he pulled you back up on your feet. “Let´s go and have a little snack.”

- With no other words leaving you, you let him lead you to the kitchen not knowing that your little head tilt made his heart melt and his soul to bust the biggest uwu.

InuKag Fanfic Recommendations

Hi everyone 🌻

I joined the Inuyasha fandom over the summer, and I’ve been having a good time reading fanfiction since finishing the series. Recommendation posts helped me find some great ones. I’ve decided to put one together for fun [lmao for all 10 of my followers - squad]. These are fics I’ve enjoyed [i.e. binged and used as COVID coping mechanisms]. They aren’t in any particular order. I’m sure there are plenty I’ve read that I’m forgetting, but I wasn’t exactly planning to do this.

I’m copy and pasting the summaries from the writers with each link because that’s more helpful than my fangirl thoughts about each one. Ha. I’ve included ratings, but this list is being made with the assumption you’ll determine if a fic is right for you by reading Author Notes and additional ratings within each link.

I tagged the Tumblrs of the authors I follow/could find. If you see someone on here who isn’t tagged and you know their Tumblr, let me know and I can add them. Also, I’ve been using Tumblr less than a month, and I have no idea what I’m doing. If I’ve done something wrong or something looks weird, THAT’S WHY. 💀

As of 11.22.20

Multi-Chapter In Progress:

(T) Light Me a Lantern by Novaviis / @inuyashasforest: “Picking up the pieces after being separated for three years isn't as easy as it may seem. A quiet, burning kind of chaos sweeps through Feudal Japan, and it's going to take a lot more than a fairy tale ending to put things back together. They defeated a man who would become the Devil. Can they survive a man who would become a God?”

(M) Behind the Silk Screen by Eiennobasho / @eien-no-basho: “When a twist of fate brings the common-born priestess Kagome to serve Inuyasha, Divine Emperor of Japan, will she be able to help him claim his place on the throne and bring order to their country? Or will court intrigues and their own burgeoning feelings tear the two and their nation apart? A historical romance set in Japan’s Heian Era.”

(M) Fate Carving by willowandfog / @willowandfog: “The human world has been brought to its knees by the demons, reverting their culture back a century. Demons now control everything and the humans? Set to be servants forever. Kagome’s city is ruled over by the Inu youkai clan and when she goes to Kaede on her 18th birthday for her required “Fate Carving,” the tattoo that will determine what her place is in the world, she’s stunned, terrified, and overwhelmed by the results. Everyone she’s ever known has been a worker, but when has Kagome ever been the same as everyone else?” (M) Kintsugi by Evilillusions / @soliska: “Failing to be chosen as her village's miko, Kagome had resigned herself to a humble life. An unexpected summons returns her to the city where she's forced to reconcile the taught virtues and the spiralling, warped reality created by those that abuse their power. She holds the key to repairing the fracture between humans and youkai, and the freedom of her new hanyou friend.” (M) Bound Across Time by wonderwander / @thornedraven: “InuYasha and Kagome are separated for three years, travelling for so long together only to be ripped apart without so much as a good-bye. Pain and heartache manifests itself in different ways. It hardens you or breaks you. How long can one hold on to hope?” (M) The Half-Breed’s Wife by Gypsyn / @gypsin: “On the night of the new moon, a runaway girl stumbles into Inuyasha's life. Little did he realize then what he would be undertaking by saving her. But when Kagome has nowhere else to go will he leave her to her fate Or will he rise to the occasion? And what will the humans think?” (M) Hit The Like Button by omgitscharlie / @omgitscharlie: “After a public breakup, successful social media influencer Kagome Higurashi is single for the first time since she started her career. Trying to cheer her friend up, Sango hosts a party in hopes of getting Kagome out of her stooper; unbeknownst to her, there was a certain person Sango wants her to meet. Unfortunately, the set up does not go as hoped as the two know each other from previous, unsavory interactions.” (M) Youkai In The Mirror by SugarRos / @sugarrosfanfiction: “Kagome Higurashi is lucky. She has good grades, good friends, and the cute, popular boy in class just asked her out. But when she accidentally unleashes a very wicked youkai from a very wicked spell, her luck runs out. Now on the run from a powerful priestess, Kagome must help Inuyasha get his revenge.” (M) Demon Nature by Shardetector / @shardetector: “He spoke low and gently, although his voice was gruff with his demon still so close to the surface, ‘You saved me wench, now I’ll repay the favor.’ With that, his muscles bunched in his legs as he sprung up and out of the well, a red blur in the night as he made his way through the forest to his destination. His precious cargo held safely to his chest, as he raced to save her with his demonic speed.”

(M) A Crack in the Glass by willowandfog / @willowandfog: “Kagome’s being watched, followed, but has no idea who it is or why they are doing it. When Kagome hires the help of a private investigator things take a dangerous turn. Uncovering secrets that Kagome didn't even know she had.” (M) The Shogun’s Daughter by Shnuggletea / @shnuggletea: “Kagome’s father passed away when she was just a child but his Shogun status still makes her a valuable bride to a Lord of lands that border their village. She isn’t given much choice but still agrees to marry the stranger so those she cares and loves would be happy and safe, taking her village under his protection in return for her hand. Lord Inuyasha Tenoe is pushed by the council into marriage, assured his new bride was an excellent choice. He has his doubts but has no choice, agreeing to the match sight unseen. All their fears and anxiety are amplified when they meet. It’s an interesting coupling to say the least.”

Multi-Chapter Complete:

(M) The Kings Concubines by The ReddQueen: “The Concubines of the House of the Moon are the most beautiful & idolized women across the Western Land. A chance arises as they search for another to take such a prestigious position. One will find that a true concubine is more than beauty, but she must overcome the most painful of hurdles, keep the darkest of secrets, & still stay true to her heart.”

(M) Thousandfurs by RosieB: “Based on the little known Grimm fairytale. Princess Kagome is forced from her home and into the demon territories. Will Prince Inuyasha ever figure out who his new servant is?” (M) Base Instincts by ImaniJoain: “When Inuyasha is lost to his youkai half, Kagome must find a way to convince him to return to himself.”

(M) To Summon a Mate by Penthesileia / @pentheseileia: “On Halloween night, Kagome is tricked into releasing a possessive, dangerous, hotter then hell demon from his prison of 500 years. She's in danger, but it's not her life she's worried about…yet.”

Oneshots

(M) Lesson by akitokihojo / @akitokihojo: “After a long night out, tensions begin to build. Kagome gets herself into a little trouble with Inuyasha, and Inuyasha is more than happy to teach her right from wrong.”

(M) Dominance by omgitscharlie / @omgitscharlie: “She'd been teasing him all day, and she knew it. Those fleeting glances and knowing smiles, it drove Inuyasha insane; not to mention she smelled sweeter, more intense. What happens when Kagome pushes Inuyasha beyond his limits?”

(M) It Will Come Back by wonderwanderer / @thornedraven: “A one shot inspired by Hozier's song "It Will Come Back". Slight Little Red Riding Hood inspiration as well. Darker themed Little Red Riding Hood, and much more adult themed.”

(M) Touch by KeiChanz / @keichanz: “’I want…’ He paused, trying to find the words, and growling in frustration when he couldn’t. A grunt left him and he dropped his forehead onto her shoulder. ‘I just…I…dammit.’ Inuyasha sighed raggedly, nuzzled her shoulder, and then husked against her skin, ‘I want…you.’”

(M) After the Well Closes by Shnuggletea / @shnuggletea: “It's been a year since Kagome made the decision to jump back through the well and leave her family and life behind. And she is confused to say the least that things are almost the same. Tired of being Inuyasha's demon-killing partner and nothing more, Kagome decides to start her new life and family. When she is stopped by a manic demon Inuyasha, her new life beings quickly.”

(M) Mine by jaygirl987: “She was so beautiful and pure. And his.”

(M) Diamonds and Moonglow by annabeth: “That whimper, right there, is what Inuyasha loves most about this.“

(M) Together Again by wonderwanderer / @thornedraven: “Some intimacy between InuYasha and Kagome after being reunited after three years, rediscovering each other in some of the more intimate ways one can.”

“Archie, could you come over here?” 

The familiar pokes his head up from his proclaimed resting spot, a basket generally used for berry-picking, and lets out a big yawn. 

“I’m afraid I can’t, you’ve sucked all the energy out from me already,” he mumbles, plopping his head back down. Archie and the young witch had spent the morning organizing their belongings into their new home. As a show of gratitude and solidarity for the small family, the trolls of Dwoza had been building them a little cottage in the forest for the past year, between walking distance of their land and Camelot. They graciously accepted the gift.

“Please, just for a minute! Then you can continue your lounging,” Y/N pleaded from her and Douxie’s bedroom. Archie makes a low groan and rolls out of his makeshift bed, slowly making his way over to her.

“I swear if you ask me to fly over to a shelf you can’t reach one more time, I will-” His sentence stops short once he enters the room, eyes wide. Unbeknownst to him, while he was taking his little cat nap, the girl had been spending her time crafting up a tower for him, with all sorts of levels for him to climb, at the top of it being a cozy bed for him, made out of fabric she’d stolen from the castle. Old habits die hard. However, it was worth it for Y/N to see the look on her friend’s face. 

“Is..is this for me?” Archie climbs up to the first level. 

“Well I don’t see any other cat familiars lying around,” she replies with a smirk. 

“Always so cheeky,” he says with a chuckle. His nose slightly wiggled, detecting a fishy odor coming from the top. 

“Oh, you didn’t.”

“Oh, I so did.”

He swiftly leaps to the highest level, eyes gleaming with delight as his suspicions to what was there were confirmed. Y/N, being the angel in his eyes that she is, had prepared roasted salmon for him. How she somehow was able to hide all of this from him, he’ll never know. 

“Do-do you like it?” Y/N asked sheepishly.

Suddenly, there’s weight on her chest, as Archie had flown over to her, trapping her into a bear hug that she quickly reciprocated. 

“I don’t understand, why did you do all of this for me?”

She laid her hand onto his head, gently stroking, “I don’t need a reason, Arch. You’re my friend, we've been through a lot. You deserve this.”

If it was in Archie’s nature, there would have been tears falling from his eyes. However, what felt right for him was to embrace her for a little bit longer, ending the hug with a simple, “Thank you, Y/N.”

Their bonding moment was cut short by the sudden loud bang of the front door opening, a disheveled and filthy Douxie stumbling in. His man bun had completely become undone, leaving his hair a tangled mess on top of his head. His clothes were covered in soot and his shoes were mysteriously soggy, leaving footprints on the floor. He leans into the door, slamming it shut behind him. 

The two rush over to him. “Oh, fuzzbuckets. What on Earth happened to you?”

“Stealing my catchphrases now, love? I knew I’d eventually rub off on you,”

An annoyed groan escapes Y/N’s lips as she walks over to assist Douxie in standing. “I thought you said you were helping Deya with a simple errand. You look like you volunteered to be her personal target dummy.”

“Knowing Douxie, that probably isn’t far off from the truth,” Archie smirks, giving Douxie an all-knowing look.

“So she didn’t give all of the details of her request, she’s a busy woman. She has a legacy of Trollhunters to begin, can’t expect her to be so thorough.” Douxie chuckles nervously, a laugh that tells Archie all he needs to know but seemingly raises no concern for Y/N. 

“All right. Arch, go enjoy your dinner. I’ll take care of him,” Y/N says, leading Douxie towards the bath further down the hall.

Once she has filled the bath up sufficiently, she sticks a hand into the water, muttering under her breath a spell. Her hand glows a vibrant scarlet shade, and soon the water begins to bubble up with steam rising into the air. Douxie, with clothes discarded onto the floor, leans onto Y/N for support as he slowly descends into the bath. He relaxes his muscles, the warm water helping ease all the aches he has in his limbs. 

“Have I ever said that I love magic? Because I do, I really do,” his girlfriend giggles at his comment as she softly brushes out his mangled locks. Afterwards, she pours some of the water onto his hair, washing away the sweat and grime. 

“Are you sure you’re alright?”

“With you, never better.”

“No, I mean, with everything. I know it’s been a year since the battle, but we haven’t really talked much about what happened. How it’s been for you without...Merlin.” Y/N had been hesitant with bringing up his master, not wanting to cause him any stress or discomfort. Still, she figured it was better than the alternative of Douxie bottling up his feelings.

He adjusts himself so that he’s facing Y/N, looking up to make eye contact with her. Despite himself, he can’t help but get entranced by her eyes, so vibrant and full of genuine love and concern for him. He reaches over and brushes away hair, cupping her face. How he became so lucky to have someone as kind, beautiful, and thoughtful as her be in his life, let alone be with him, he’ll never understand. He doesn’t know what living would be like if she wasn’t a constant presence and he doesn’t want to know. 

So, he lets out something he’s truly been bottling up. 

“Marry me.”

Y/N can’t fully process what he’d just said to her. Her brain hasn’t caught up with her heart, which fluttered the moment those two little words left his mouth. 

“What?”

Douxie lets go of her face to grab onto her hands, pulling them close to him. 

“I wanted to pick a better time to bare my heart out to you, one where I’m not bare...myself,” that earns a little chuckle from Y/N, “But, I just can’t wait any longer.”

He instructs her to grab his tunic still lying on the floor and to check the inner pocket. Once she reaches her hand inside, she feels a small band of metal, pulling it out to see. It’s revealed to be a golden ring, with intricate carvings all along the band, and secured on top was a small emerald gem, so polished that light reflects beautifully off of it. The sight of it alone is enough to make Y/N’s eyes start to water. 

“You made this?”

Douxie gives a little nod, “Hence my very repugnant appearance earlier. I did go to see Deya, but it was to ask her for a favor, not the other way around. I knew they would have just the metal and stone I needed for the ring, however had they warned me that retrieving said materials would be so difficult, maybe I would’ve looked elsewhere,” he explains with a smile. “Go ahead, try it on.”

Y/N slides the ring down her finger, a perfect fit. She looks up at him, eyes brimming with tears.

“Why?”

The answer is simple for him, “Because I love you. It has been hard without Merlin. He was always who I looked to for guidance, afraid of any misstep I would possibly make without his advice, but with you, I’m not afraid. You’re so encouraging and loving that I believe I can trust myself and make my own decisions and they won’t lead to chaos somehow. I look forward to each day because I know you’ll be there. I can’t imagine life without you in it, and I never want to. I realize asking to be with me for the rest of your immortal life is a lot, but-”

“Yes,” she answers, finally letting the tears fall. The biggest smile she thinks she’s ever had spreads across her face. 

Douxie lets out a mixture of a laugh and a gasp of surprise. “Really? Hold on, I don’t want this moment to be me in a bucket the whole time,” he jumps out of the bath, quickly drying himself and tugging on a clean pair of pants. His hair is still wet, leaving droplets of water on his shoulders. Then, he walks in front of Y/N, picking up her hands again to bring them to be his chest. “You’re sure about this?”

Y/N waves her thumbs over his fingers, feeling an overwhelming sense of happiness, “All I’ve ever wanted was a family. People and a place I can consider home. I thought I had found that with Morgana, but I was wrong. Who I really found it with was you. You and Archie are my family. I love Archie dearly, and I’m so in love with you. An eternity with you still doesn’t feel long enough.” 

Now it’s Douxie who’s crying tears of joy. This has to be one of the greatest moments of his life. He gets to be with the love of his life forever and always. He picks her up effortlessly, spinning her around while the two joyously laugh and squeal. Still in the air, Y/N grabs onto his face to pull him in, capturing his lips in a kiss. Douxie sighs into it, not able to properly kiss due to him not being able to stop smiling. They come apart, still holding onto each other and giggling like teenagers.

“Ah, so he finally did it. He’s been worrying about it ever since we moved here,” Archie says, doing his well known habit of waltzing in unannounced.

Douxie lets her down, facepalming at his familiar’s interruption. “That was supposed to be kept a secret, Arch.”

“Apologies. But really Doux? In the bath? Even I could’ve thought of something more grand than that.”

“Why you little-”

“How was your dinner, Archie?” Y/N says before Douxie can have a go at him. 

“Absolutely delightful, you truly are amazing Y/N.”

Y/N thanks him. As Douxie and Archie continue their snarky banter with one another, she can’t help but feel so content in the moment. She realizes that that loneliness she used to feel before will never come again thanks to these two. She may have had to defeat Morgana in the end, but she will be eternally grateful for the gift of love she granted her.

I Love You

Pairing: Rosa Diaz x fem!reader

Requested by anon: Hi! Can I ask for rosa x reader? Something like where they've been together for nearly a year and rosa is struggling to find a perfect anniversary gift and opens up about it to maybe Jake? He will give ridiculous ideas and rosa considers the paintball war idea for a while. Eventually she'll figure out something sweet but not too flashy since reader doesn't like big and flashy.

Word Count: 1.4k

Warnings: Rosa gets soft for once

A/N: this is my first time actually finishing a Rosa imagine, so I hope it’s not absolute trash lmao. Thanks for the request!

-

“I have a problem” came from behind Jake, nearly giving the poor detective a heart attack. He turns to face Rosa with a half smile-half grimace.

“Well this can’t be good. What’s the problem?”

Rosa quickly glances at you sitting at your desk, grateful you were too occupied with paperwork to notice her “outburst”. You were the only one in her life that could pass right through her brick wall of a heart like it was paper thin and see what was really going on.

“Not here.”

She grabbed the front of his plaid buttoned shirt, pulling him behind her as he whined about “facing Amy’s wrath when she sees you ruined her ironing”. She didn’t stop until they reached the last supply closet at the end of the hall, closing the door behind them. A deep sigh fell from her lips before she finally spoke.

“Y/N and I’s one year anniversary is today.” She glared at Jake to calm his impending reaction. “Anyway, I’ve never dated anyone this long, so I wasn’t sure how to celebrate. Figured maybe we’d just go out to a fancy restaurant or something. But then...I found the gift she’s giving me.”

Jake’s eyes widened immediately. “Oh, no. Was it awesome?”

“Let’s just say it made you and Amy’s dress-up game on your honeymoon look lame.”

“I mean, I wouldn’t say it was lame. I technically got to have sex with Holly Gennaro and Amy at the same time so…” He cleared his throat. “Anyway, so you need help finding a gift?”

“Not just a gift, it has to be the gift. Y/N really went all out, and I don’t want her to think that this past year didn’t mean anything to me because of how little effort I put into this.”

“Okay, how about a skywriter spelling out ‘I love you, Y/N’ in the clouds? Ooh, or you could hire the kids choir I booked for the bet date to sing her favorite song! A flash mob?”

“You know she hates public attention...and I hate flash mobs.” A hint of disgust laced her tone as her nose scrunched up a bit. “What else you got?”

“Okay, um…” He snapped his fingers with a wide grin. “You’re both competitive, so why don’t you sign up for a paintball tournament? You’re guaranteed to win and you get to have a celebratory bone sesh after.”

Rosa’s eyebrows raised slightly--the only indicator on her features that the idea interested her--dropping a few seconds later. “Nah, we did that for our birthdays. Okay, this isn’t going to work. Be ready to leave in five minutes.”

“Wait, where are we going?” Jake asked as he watched her head for the door.

“To find inspiration at the mall,” she called over her shoulder as she disappeared into the hallway.

-

“This is hopeless.” Rosa sighed as she plopped down on a bench outside of the store they’d just exited. “I’m just going to have to break up with her and transfer to another precinct so I don’t have to deal with the consequences of my shitty actions.”

“What?! Rosa, no!”

“Jake, we’ve been to all her favorite stores and haven’t found a single thing that’s good enough for her.”

“Okay, maybe we’ve been going about this all wrong.” Jake sat next to Rosa on the bench, slightly facing her. “You said that Y/N doesn’t like big and flashy things when it comes to gifts. So instead of shopping based on price tag, why don’t you get something that reminds her of how you got to a one year anniversary?”

“Huh.” Rosa found herself disappearing into her thoughts. Your laugh echoed through her head as she mentally scrolled through all the moments that helped her figure out she loved you well before she got the guts to say it. One particular moment popped in her mind just as her eyes landed on the sign of a certain store, causing her to smile a bit.

“I’ll be right back.”

-

You unlocked the apartment door with a sigh, the exhausted expression you wore shifting immediately into a grin. There were lit candles and wine glasses on the dining room table, and a truly delightful scent floating in from the kitchen.

“Babe?”

“Hey,” Rosa responded as she entered the room.

“Hi.” You put your bag down by the door and approached her, pecking her lips gently as your arms wrapped around her head, clasping your fingers together at the base of her neck. “I thought you wanted to go out tonight?”

“I knew you’d be tired when you finally got away from your desk, so I thought I’d make dinner here.” She couldn’t help but smile back at you, happy to have you home and close. “I also have a confession.”

You found yourself frowning as she stepped out of your embrace. “What did you do?”

“Why do you think I did something?”

“Because the last time you had a confession, it was you telling me that you were the reason why our neighbor moved.”

“Well, this one isn’t neighbor related.” She pulled out a gift bag, taking note of the way your eyes lit up and stopping you before you could run out of the room. “You don’t have to go get your gift because my confession is that I already know what you got me.”

“What? Rosa…” You couldn’t help but pout a bit, disappointed that you weren’t there to see her initial reaction. “Well did you at least like it?”

“Are you kidding? I loved it...so much that I panicked.” She took a deep breath and continued. “I’ve never had this long and consistent and healthy of a relationship before, and so I’m really kind of figuring this out as I go along. I didn’t think our anniversary would be that big of a deal, at least until I came across the gift you got me.”

“I just wanted to get something that would make you as happy as you’ve made me these past twelve months,” you told her in a volume just above a whisper, slightly concerned you’d gone too big.

“And it does, but I was worried that if I didn’t get you something important too that you would think I didn’t love you as much as I do.”

“Baby.” A chuckle pushed through your smiling lips as you approached her again. “You don’t need to buy me something to tell me you love me. I hear it every day in the little things you do for me.”

“This one’s different. Open it.”

You took the bag from her and let your hand guide you, confused when you pulled out a Hawaiian print shirt. “Um, care to explain?”

She laughed a bit as she took hold of one of your hands, meeting your eyes again. Hers caught the light, revealing a slight glassy look from the tears she seemed to be holding back. It shocked you, this being the first time you’d seen this happen.

“You tried this shirt on the first time we went shopping together.”

“I remember now,” you told her with a grin, your own eyes beginning to water. “When I pulled it off the rack, you’d laughed harder than I’d ever heard. I thought it was the most beautiful sound in the world and I just wanted to hear more.”

She squeezed your hand a little tighter. “When you came out of the fitting room, all I could think about was how hilariously bad this shirt was. But I kept staring at you as you laughed at my jokes and suddenly all I could really think about was how you were the only person I’ve ever seen wear a shirt that ugly and still look so damn beautiful.”

“Wow, who knew you were such a softy, Diaz?” You teased, despite the fact that you were holding back tears.

“Shut up, you did this.” Her eyes rolled, but her lips kissed your knuckles a few times. “Anyway, that day was the first time I realized that I love you more than anyone else in this world. I was terrified to tell you, but I knew eventually I would, and that this would always be my favorite memory.”

Salty trails covered your cheeks before you could stop them as you smiled widely at the shirt in your hand. “Thank you for giving me something to remember this day always.” You pulled her into a warm hug, your whole body relaxing into her touch when you felt her lips place a kiss just below your ear.

“Happy anniversary.”

Why tumblr user donottearmedown/luciequeenofelfame/luciehvrondaie is an embarrassment: a Masterpost

Hi if you’re here it’s because you’ve heard that tumblr user donottearmedown is an embarrassment and you’d like to know all the details! Let me break it down. It all started with this post by @minacarstairs (Tessa (yes @minacarstairs’s name is Tessa sorry if that makes this post confusing)), in which donottearmedown originally reached out to Tessa by sending her something along the lines of “Do you ship heronstairs/herongraystairs?” And Tessa replied with something along the lines of “Yeah lmao herongraystairs rights!”

(I wanna note that Tessa was being very polite, and continues to be very polite to people who disagree with her opinions on heronstairs/herongraystairs. She even began her original conversation with dont tear me down by saying it’s a matter of personal interpretation :) it’s donottearmedown who made the conversation mean-spirited)

(Also Tessa pls correct next if I’m wrong on any of this thnx)

And then sometime later, the conversation above ensues in which donottearmedown, seemingly perfectly reasonable at first, disagrees with the ship and offers a link to look at. (She throws this link around any chance she gets. She really fucking loves this link.) I got involved because in her answer, Tessa replies back with a link from a post I made from my own blog starting back in 2018, and then continued to add to it until my account got terminated (long story). You can read through both posts and check out all the replies! But basically we realized during this interaction that donottearmedown wasn’t looking to have a friendly conversation and was, in fact, batshit crazy. They were saying some absolute brain dead shit like that people shipping heronstairs is the same as people shipping Alec x Clary. Here’s the screenshot:

donottearmedown came back the next day to reply on several of Tessa and mine’s post which she wasn’t even tagged in, such as this one, and this one that had absolutely nothing to do with her because I make that same post every year. Here’s a screenshot from my old account last year via Instagram:

(there are more posts she replied to but I can’t be bothered to look for them, I’m sure you can find them on their blog if you can spare the braincells)

Racism by donottearmedown:

So, Tessa received this anon which tipped us off to some of the other tomfoolery on donottearmedown’s blog. We decided to look for ourselves and lo and behold, here’s the post of donottearmedown accusing Cassandra Clare of having a “Chinese kink” for writing Jessa:

Which, first of all, makes no sense because there’s like 2 Chinese characters in TSC total. If anything CC has a straight white boy kink lmao. But by saying this she was basically implying that the ONLY way Tessa (book!Tessa), or anybody who loves Jem, can love him is if they have a “Chinese kink”. Which donottearmedown can’t seem to be able to understand is an incredibly racist thing to say and think.

They also reblogged this BLM link and proceeded to tag it with absolute nonsense like “#smoke weed #lose weight #wessa”. I don’t know if her intentions were to mock the BLM movement but I still found this to be so incredibly disrespectful and tone deaf.

I also feel like I should mention this ask sent to Tessa in which donottearmedown implies she ~could be~ Asian, but it’s “none of her business anyways” (as if being Asian would absolve anyone of being racist akjsksjsj), but based on the fact that she has a track record of lying and pretending to be a person she’s not (as you will soon see :)) I call bullshit lmao:

I think that was the last of our interactions until today? Tessa and I were distracted because we have, you know, real lives.

But anyway, that brings us to today.

donottearmedown started replying to posts from mine and Tessa’s blogs which she wasn’t tagged in, again, and made several days ago. This one literally wasn’t even about her, it was about someone else that had engaged with one of Tessa’s posts. I made that post over a week ago and had already forgotten about it, but clearly donottearmedown never stops thinking about us 😳

NOW I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THIS POST SPECIFICALLY.

Why? Because donottearmedown and luciequeenofelfame (now luciehervndaie) interacted on this post, as 2 seperate entities. luciequeenofelfame had also interacted with Tessa and I’s original posts at the beginning of June (you can check the replies on the posts!) coming to donottearmedown’s defense, and praising her for her opinions and other shit like that.

Here’s the screenshot. As you can see here, luciehervndaie reblogs from donottearmedown and adds on to their opinion:

Now here’s the kicker: donottearmedown and luciehervndaie are the same person.

As in, this bitch literally made up a second blog so that she can pretend to be someone else agreeing with her own opinions and cheering herself on.

Here’s the proof:

I made this post calling out donottearmedown on their racism. I didn’t bother tagging her in the original post because I knew she was stalking my blog and would see it eventually anyway. 😌 And they took the bait, as you can see.

AND THEN I got the notification that luciequeenofelfame had replied to my post. Here’s the reply:

Now here’s where donottearmedown/luciequeenofelfame made an oopsie! 😳

Notice where luciequeenofelfame says “1. I didn’t delete it lmao”. She’s responding to my tags on this post where I’m calling out donottearmedown on her racist post, and my tags read:

“#the fact you went and deleted this post because you KNEW you were about to get slammed #comedy”

(context: @wilhelminacarstairs looked on donottearmedown’s blog recently looking for the post I screenshotted in the link above, and he couldn’t find it so I assumed she deleted it so that I wouldn’t call her out on it. Although she claims she didn’t delete it, so! Maybe it’s still up! Feel free to look for it and let me know lmao)

Now, in the tags I am obviously talking to donottearmedown, correct? So then why is luciequeenofelfame replying that she didn’t delete anything? 🤔 AND JUST AS IM ABOUT TO REPLY-

Wow, looks like I can’t reblog the post. Why? Because luciequeenofelfame has deleted it, and then IMMEDITALY changed her url to luciehvrondaie, hoping it would cover her tracks. Little does she know, tumblr notifications are forever:

As you can see, donottearmedown/luciequeenofelfame/luciehervndaie realized they made an oopsie, so she deleted her first response and posted it again from the blog she actually MEANT to post it from. Damn if only she knew that @minacarstairs @wilhelminacarstairs and I keep screenshots of e v e r y t h i n g :/ Then she might have gotten away with it! 😩

But yeah lmao here are the posts I made about it immeditaly afterwards calling her out on it because I thought it was funny: X X X X

She defends herself on some of them saying shit like “wow so I’m just making up blogs for support wessa? The majority of the fandom supports Wessa so I’m all of those blogs according to you? I’m thousands of people?!” Or just trying to change the topic back to heronstairs and ignoring the allegations altogether. Like, no luv we’re not saying you’re every single Wessa blog ever. We’re just saying you’re these 2, and we’re right lmao. If you look through both their blogs they also post about the same fandoms, and more damning, make a lot of the same spelling errors. Seriously their speech pattern is exactly the same. Feel free to look through them if you want, and if they don’t start mass-deleting post trying to cover their tracks.

BONUS:

I don’t know how true this is, but according to @fair-but-wilde-child on this ask, donottearmedown is ALSO the infamous twitter stan that complained to CC about TLH having too many gay characters.

EXTRA BONUS:

luciequeenofelfame/luciehvrondaie (donottearmedown’s second account 😌) is the account responsible for that wessa vs jessa comparison chart that went around a while ago LMAOOOOOOOO embarrassing

tl;dr: donottearmedown/luciequeenofelfame/luciehvrondaie is a biphobic racist who’s opinions are so bad she has to make a second account to agree with herself

🥺 tragic

Also I wanna say for the record, as @minacarstairs ans @wilhelminacarstairs will testify, I guessed a while ago these accounts were the same person when I noticed their speech patterns were eerily similar, and how luciequeenofelfame always seemed to reply to donottearmedown’s posts IMMEDITATELY after they were posted. 

So the lesson for today? Cinthia is always right. 😤

Author and Auror (8/??)

Synopsis: Eleanore Vaughan has never been one for the spotlight. Her cousin, Rosaline, is the one best suited to the limelight, and is happier for the attention. Though Nora is most comfortable tucked away in her book shop, what happens when Grindelwald’s sudden takeover flips her world upside-down and thrusts her into the inner circle?

A/N: Alright, so @thorne93​ has already finished posting her half of this collaboration, but we’ll get there eventually.... hopefully lmao. This chapter will be Particularly Dramatic. Again, I am not tagging any of my regular tag list for this fic, so if you’d like to be tagged, please let me know. Anyway, have at it!

Part 7

“Eleanore Vaughan,” Albus Dumbledore’s voice floats from the open beak of the shimmering phoenix sat on my desk. “I’ve just received word that Rosaline has passed through the Hogwarts wards and is headed towards my classroom. I am not aware of any business she would have with me, but I might suggest that you make haste in getting here.”

The Patronus disperses and I shove my chair back from the desk and hurry to Theseus’ office. I slam the door open, startling Theseus and Newt away from their work.

“Rosaline is at Hogwarts,” I announce.

“What?” Newt asks.

“Albus’ Patronus filled me in,” I explain, turning on my heel and walking back out into the hallway. Theseus and Newt follow me out. “Rosaline is headed for him, but he doesn’t know why. All he said is that we should get there fast.”

“Could Grindelwald have sent her?”

“Who knows,” I frown and poke my head into several different offices startling three different pairs of Aurors. “Where the fuck is Tina?!”

“She’s in the canteen,” Dawes answers, poking his head out into the hallway. “I’ll get her for you.”

“Great, tell her to meet us one floor down at the broom check out,” I stop dead in my tracks and turn to Theseus. “I’m so sorry, I swear I’m not trying to take over.”

He grabs me by the shoulders and turns me around. “No time for that,” he says, steering me down the hall to the lift. “We’ve got places to be and you obviously have more of a plan than I do.”

I nod once. The three of us bundle into the lift and, before the floor is selected, I yell, “DAWES.”

“Yeah?” he calls back.

“You’re coming with. Grab Jeanette on your way down, we’ll need the extra hands.”

He nods and the attendant selects the floor down. Theseus signs out six of the fastest brooms they’ve got and we meet up with Dawes, Jeanette, and Tina. We each grab an arm and steer them to the apparation points.

“Where are we going?” Dawes asks.

“Hogwarts gates,” I answer. “I’ll side along with Tina.”

“Well be flying up to the castle,” Theseus explains. “Make for the Defense classroom, be prepared for the worst.”

With brooms in hand and everyone filled in, Tina and I link arms and apparate. Each person appears with a crack. The gates slowly swing open of their own accord as we mount our brooms and we shoot into the sky one after the other. Trees blur together beneath us and quickly give way to a massive expanse of browning grass. The Quidditch pitch rises up in the distance and soon the castle is looming over us. I angle my broom towards the east towers and keep as tight to the walls as I can manage. I pull up on the broomstick and my feet ghost along the bricks of the astronomy tower. I dismount as soon as I’ve flown past the staircase to the astronomy classroom and toss the broom to the side in favor of sprinting for the stairs to Dumbledore’s classroom. Everyone else is close on my heels as I throw open the half closed doors.

“Nora?”

Rosaline’s voice reaches my ears and my head snaps to her. Grindelwald has a bruising hold on her arm and I immediately draw my wand, anger flaring up inside me. Grindelwald smirks and I throw a stinging jinx at him, just to get him to let her go. Rosaline deflects it and my eyes go wide.

“Rosaline,” I say, doing my best to keep my voice level. “We don’t want to hurt you. Come with us. Please.”

“No,” she says, chin lifted in defiance. “I’ll stay right where I am.”

“I don’t know what he’s done to you, but the Rosaline I know would never be with a man like him. Would never choose evil over her own family.”

“Evil?!” she cries, taking one step closer to Grindelwald. “As if you’d have any idea of the good we’ve been doing!”

Grindelwald caresses Rosaline’s cheek and she seems to lean into his touch. “You see, Ms. Vaughan, Rosaline chooses us. It seems to me that you should respect that choice, yes?”

My hand tightens around my wand and I throw a knockback jinx at him. Rosaline immediately steps in front of him and blocks the spell. Her face pinches into an expression of pure rage and she casts a stinging jinx, directed at me. I back up and fire off a spell without thinking and it slices a skull that was hanging on the wall in half when Rosaline dodges it. I step back to rejoin the ranks of aurors I had rushed away from. Grindelwald pulls Rosaline’s hair away from her face and presses his lips to her ear, whispering something I can’t make out. When he pulls away, Rosaline nods and her shoulders set firmly. She disarms Dawes and Jeanette, sending their wands flying. They go scrambling after them, leaving the rest of us to deal with Rosaline and two of Grindelwalds henchmen. While Grindelwalds men advance on us, Rosaline continues firing off spells, sending Tina flying into the wall behind her. As she falls to the floor in a heap, Theseus cries out in pain and clutches at his chest. Newt steps up beside me and, together, we disarm and bind Grindelwalds two men.

“What’s wrong, Mr. Scamander?” Grindelwald taunts. “You revealed me in New York, but you haven’t the courage to attack the woman whose heart you broke?”

Newt opens his mouth to say something, but closes it again in favor of lifting his wand a little higher. He moves slightly closer to me and I bump his shoulder with mine to reassure him.

“I spared you last time, but you won’t be so fortunate now.” Grindelwald steps out from behind Rosaline and draws his wand “Crucio!”

Newt crumples beside me, crying out and whimpering in pain. I drop down beside him, hands hovering over his body as he convulses, completely unsure of what to do.

“Stop this!” I cry. “You bastard, stop!”

“That is enough, Grindelwald!” Dumbledore roars. He shoots across the room and roughly shoves Grindelwald, breaking the curse. “Killing innocent men, you’re a traitor to your kind!”

I help Newt to his feet and grasp his face between my hands and look him over quickly before moving on to check on Tina and Theseus. Tina holds her non-dominant arm close to her chest and I carefully pull it away from her body to check it over. She winces.

“Can you move it?” She shakes her head and I gently press the tip of my wand to her forearm. “Ferula.”

A faint click indicates that her bones are back in the proper place and her arm is wrapped tightly in a bandage with a simple sling around her neck. Tina waves me off when I try to do more and points to Theseus. He’s managed to prop himself up and is trying to catch his breath.

“I’m fine,” he insists when I drop down beside him and turn his face from side to side and move on to check his ribs for any damage.

“Are you sure?” I ask.

He nods. “She just threw me back a ways. Nothing but my pride is hurt.”

I nod jerkily and haul him to his feet. Dawes and Jeanette have managed to circle back around and Jeanette helps Tina up. Grindelwalds men have managed to recover and advance on us.

“You two take care of those idiots,” Dawes and Jeanette nod. “Theseus, Newt, and Tina, you advance on Rosaline, I’ll grab her from behind.”

We break apart and head off to our own assignments. Dumbledore and Grindelwald clash in the center of the classroom and I have to shield myself from stray spells. Grindelwald’s men go down easily and Rosaline is distracted with dueling Newt, Theseus, and Tina all at once. She doesn’t notice me creeping up.

“Expelliarmus,” I hiss. Her wand flies across the room and Tina manages to catch it before it hits the floor.

“Wha-?” She whips around and her eyes go wide.

“Confundus,” I point my wand directly at her and cast. She presses a hand to her forehead as if suddenly dizzy and begins to fall to the floor. “Arresto Momentum!”

I manage to slow her enough that she doesn’t hurt herself when she makes contact with the hardwood.

“Go!” Dumbledore yells, having momentarily pushed Grindelwald back. “Get to my office!”

I cast a quick mobilicorpus and lift Rosaline from the floor. She rouses long enough to realize what’s happening. Tina casts fumos and follows quickly behind Theseus, who leads the way up the stairs. Grindelwald swipes at Rosaline as we pass, but misses as the smoke reaches his eyes and clogs his mouth. As soon as the door is closed, I lock it behind us and release Rosaline. She immediately makes for the door and Theseus and Newt grab both her arms.

“Let me go!” she cries. She thrashes about, clawing and kicking at both Newt and Theseus when she realizes she no longer has her wand. “Gellert!” she screams. “Gellert!”

The dueling continues on the other side of the door, but Grindelwald has taken more of an interest in spelling the door open. Theseus tasks Dawes and Jeanette with barricading the door and standing guard.

“Unhand me!” Rosaline demands.

I grit my teeth and whip around to face her, my wand pointed directly at her chest. “Immobulus.” And then her feet. “Locomotor Mortis.”

“Where are we supposed to go from here?” Tina asks.

I close my eyes and rub my temples. Albus wouldn’t have sent us in here unless there were a way out. My eyes snap open and I immediately begin searching the room.

“What is it?” Theseus.

“There!” I snatch up the flower pot on Dumbledore’s desk. The swirling fern fronds are artfully placed to conceal something much more useful to us than soil. “Floo powder!”

“His fireplace is connected to the floo network?” Dawes says, watching me pull each frond from the flower pot.

Newt shrugs. “He’s not exactly one for rules, is he?”

I roll my eyes and summon my frozen cousin to me. “We’ll go to my flat, understood? 

“Grindelwald will expect us to go to the Ministry,” Theseus explains. “He may come looking for us and cannot be allowed to reclaim this woman.”

Everyone nods and I step into the fireplace with a handful of floo powder. “The Cursed Stacks!” I declare, and throw down the powder. We disappear in a swirl of green flames.

I step from the fireplace and wipe my shoes on the mat on the hearth. Rosaline stumbles out behind me, having broken free of each binding spell and rounds on me.

“Give me my wand,” she growls.

I snort. “No. I wouldn’t give it to you, even if I had it. Clearly, I can’t trust you yet.”

She runs at me and I stun her before casting mobilicorpus one more time, just as Theseus and Newt come through the floo. Theseus sighs and Newt gazes sadly at Rosaline’s floating form. Tina, Dawes, and Jeanette come through one after the other. I scold them when they start tracking soot into my library.

Dawes pales and immediately goes back to wipe his shoes on the mat. “Sorry, miss.”

“Thanks,” I mutter, clearing away the footprints with a quick scourgify.

“Dawes, go back to the Ministry, let the head of the DMLE know we’ve found Rosaline Vaughan,” Theseus says. “Lawsonne, you’ll stay here.”

“How long, sir?” she asks.

“As long as necessary.”

Both aurors nod and Dawes disappears with a loud pop.

“What do we do now?” Theseus asks me.

I shake my head. “I’ll set her up in her room and then we’ll wait till she wakes up.”

“Are you worried about her trying to get away?” Tina asks.

“I’ll tether her to the bedpost. She won’t be able to leave the room.”

“I want my wand back,” Rosaline says firmly. She leans back in her chair and away from the table.

“No.”

“It’s my wand, I should have it.”

I snort. “Tell us where you’ve been, and you’ll have it back.”

She looks down her nose at Theseus and I. “As if.”

“Perhaps Credence, then,” Theseus presses.

“No,” she says.

“Fine, we’ll keep your wand safe for you till you feel like sharing.”

She folds her arms over her chest and glares at us as we push our chairs back from the table and excuse ourselves from the room. As soon as the door is closed, Theseus pulls me to the side.

“She doesn’t seem quite right,” he says. “She’s never been that combative before, has she?”

I shake my head. “Not since she was little and I wouldn’t let her use my wand.”

“Any idea what could be wrong?”

“I have no idea, but we’ve only just gotten her back. Maybe she’ll come back to us.”

He nods and takes my hand. “Maybe.”

Rosaline is still sitting in the same chair as she was when I left her. She glares up at me, her hair tilted to the side, as I slide a bowl of potato soup across the table. She slowly reaches out and pushes the bowl off the table. The soup splatters across the floor and I just barely manage to catch the bowl before it crashes against the hardwood. I sigh and spell away the mess before sitting down.

“I don’t think I’ve seen you do that since mother placed mashed peas in front of you when you were five,” I comment.

She sneers at me, but refuses to comment. “Haven’t brought Theseus with you this time, have you?” she says. “Didn’t want to be around you for long, did he?”

“Mm,” I hum. “Perhaps. Or maybe I’ve snuck in. I’m clever enough to do that, aren’t I?”

“Not quite clever enough to convince a man to date you though.”

“Ah, yes. You’re really just dragging me along behind the broomstick, aren’t you? Just going for the fatal blow.” I lean back in my chair, my arms thrown up in mock surrender. “Oh no! You’ve backed me into an emotional corner! I’m completely trapped! Fuck you.”

“No need to get angry with me, cousin,” she says, clearly pleased with herself.

“Is this really what you’ve been learning all this time you’ve been with Grindelwald?”

“Not everything.”

“Alright then, what’s his next move to be?”

“I wouldn’t tell you even if I knew.”

“Of course. Perhaps you’d tell me why you visited Dumbledore, then.”

“I wanted to see an old friend,” she says sweetly, her annoyance painfully clear. “It’s my turn to ask a question now, yes?” I roll my eyes and gesture for her to speak. “Why am I being held hostage? I’ve yet to commit a crime!”

“You’ve aided in the conquering and subjugation of the wizarding world and muggles,” I say simply. “I can’t allow you to leave.”

“Eleanore?” Theseus pokes his head into the room. “We need assistance with the wards.”

I nod and place the bowl in front of Rosaline again. I hit it with a sticking charm and fill it with water.

“Don’t cause any trouble while I’m gone.”

“I want my wand!” she yells.

“No!” I call back.

“Something is wrong with her,” I say softly. “I don’t want to jump to any conclusions, but my suspicions that she may have been bewitched are only getting stronger.”

Theseus nods. “Is there any way to prove that’s true?”

“Only time can tell, really, and if she were, then being away from whoever cast the spell could have adverse effects, the likes of which I cannot predict. But…” I trail off, biting at the end of my thumb.

“What?”

I shake my head. “I don’t think we can keep her here. As secure as my wards are, they’re nothing compared to those of the Ministry, especially down in the Department of Mysteries. As it stands, Grindelwald may very well be looking for Rosaline and he may be able to find my flat, or my parents house, or even my… my shop. Merlin, Theseus, I have to tell my parents to leave their home. I’ll have to close the shop!”

I begin pacing and Theseus chases after me. “Nora.” He tries to get a hand around my arm, but I manage to slip from his grasp. “Nora, please.”

I pace back and forth across the library, muttering about plans to move my parents. Plans for the shop. Plans to keep my employees safe. Theseus manages to get in front of my and grab hold of my arms, stopping me where I stand.

“Eleanore, love, please stop,” he says softly, careful in the way that he cups my face in his hands.

I freeze and rest my hands on his forearms. “You called me love,” I murmur.

“Yes,” he nods firmly. “I-I did. Intentionally and with complete confidence.”

I choke out a laugh and Theseus wipes a tear from my eye with his thumb. “Thank you for that.”

“Is it that funny?”

“No, I’m just really happy that you feel like we’re at a point in our relationship where you can call me love. Because, believe me, I’ve been wanting to for a while, but I didn’t want to overstep any bounds.”

He smiles and presses his forehead to mine. “Never. You could never. But you are getting very wound up over this. Your parents have already been contacted and have been moved to a safehouse. I can send Dawes to the shop and make sure James and Tessa make it home alright.”

“Really?”

“Of course. There’s a real risk that they could be targeted. However, we haven’t seen any evidence that Grindelwald is doing anything to find Rosaline.”

“Sounds like something we should keep quiet for now.” He nods. “Where’s Newt? How has he been handling all of this?”

“He went home to take care of his creatures and check on Jacob and Bunty. He should be back tomorrow morning.”

“Is there anything we can do about Rosaline between then and now? Anyone we could contact about moving her to the Ministry?”

“There’s one person who may be able to help us.”

“Alright. We’ll work through the night if we have to.”

“We’ve got permission to move her into a cell in the Department of Mysteries,” Theseus announces when he sits down at breakfast.

“Really?” I say.

“We’ll be able to move her there around five this evening.” Theseus takes a slice of toast from the rack and butters it.

“Alright.”

“Is everything alright?” he asks.

“She refuses to eat anything. Either pushes it off the table or lets it sit till it’s cold, warm, or just disgusting altogether.” I place my tea on the table. “Could this be due to the bewitching?”

“It’s not quite my area of expertise, but it might. Maybe you should contact Dumbledore and get his opinion.”

I nod and push back from the table. “I’ll owl him. Perhaps he might take a look at her once we’ve gotten her settled.”

“Ah! The Head Auror is back,” Rosaline says when Theseus enters the room. I follow after him and she ignores me.

“You’re being moved,” Theseus says, folding his arms across his chest.

“Oh, am I?”

“You’re under investigation. As soon as the room is prepared, we’ll transport you to the Ministry,” Theseus explains.

She scoffs. “You’d have me locked up, would you, cousin?” she questions, finally lifting her eyes to meet mine.

I shake my head. “You’ve left me no choice.”

“Is this punishment? Are you seeking a surrogate for your own pain? The fact that you’ll never have Theseus, yet I’ve found true love eats you alive, doesn’t it? That’s why you’re doing this. You have nothing on which to hold me, you refuse me my wand and the respect I deserve, and now you’re confining me to the Ministry?”

Theseus and I glance at each other and Rosaline catches it. Something flares in her eyes.

“Speaking of lovers, how is Leta, Theseus?” Rosaline asks.

Theseus steps forward, his mouth open, and I stop him with one hand on his chest. His face steadily grows more and more red with his anger.

“You know damn well how she is,” he hisses.

“Oh, Theseus,” Rosaline cackles gleefully. “You always were a halfwit. No wonder they were begging me to replace you.”

With a flick of my wand, I cast a wordless silencio, and all sounds from Rosaline cease. Theseus sighs and his shoulders sag. I place a cup of water down on the table in front of her.

“Drink.” She purses her lips and I point my wand at her. “It’s the water or a hex, I’m certain I know which you would prefer.”

She glares at me and snatches the glass from the table and slugs it back and wipes her mouth with the back of her hand. She slams the glass down and folds her arms. I watch with mild disinterest as the sleeping draught begins to take effect. Her eyelids grow heavier and heavier until her head lolls back and her mouth hangs open.

“That should hold her till we can get her to the Ministry,” I say.

“I shouldn’t have lost my temper like that,” Theseus murmurs.

“You had every right to.”

He shakes his head. “What did she mean when she said you’d “never have me”?”

I press my lips together and take his hand in mine. “This isn’t a conversation to have here.”

I lead him into my bedroom and sit him on the bed. I stand in front of him and he looks at me expectantly. I take a deep breath and begin pacing.

“Again with the pacing?”

I nod. “I can’t explain myself and look you in the eye.”

“Why?”

“Because I’ve cared for you longer than you have for me.”

“Wh-how long?”

“Years.”

“Years?”

“Yes. Years. That’s why I pushed you away when you started seeing Leta and why I tried to stay even further out of your way after you proposed. I didn’t want to hang around or torture myself because, as I’m sure you’ve figured out, I’m a great fan of self preservation. I threw myself into the shop and studying so that I didn’t have to accidentally get in your way.” He opens his mouth to speak but I stop and face him, arms folded. “I was happy for you and Leta, I promise. I never wanted to pursue you or anything. I never did, and Rosaline was convinced that I should for a very long time. But I could see how happy she made you. I mourned with you after… after Paris. I didn’t expect this-” I gesture between the two of us. “-to ever happen. Ever. And I understand if you don’t feel comfortable continuing on because I know it’s all very strange for this to come up after months of carrying on not knowing.”

“Nora,” he interrupts. “I’m not going to leave you.”

“I… what?”

“I’m. Not. Going. To. Leave. You,” he repeats, pushing himself up from the bed and taking my hands in his. “You really think something like this could turn me off you?”

I shrug. “I should have told you,” I say weakly.

“Why?”

“I don’t know… you deserved to know? It’s not as if I was the kindest to you while you were with Leta, and then-”

“You didn’t do anything,” he insists.

“Then with Paris and what Rosaline just said, it makes me think that maybe I should have just let things stay as they were.”

“Really?”

“I don’t know.”

“Are you not happy being with me?” he asks.

“I’m happier than I’ve been in nearly ten years.”

“Then everything is fine. You aren’t Leta. You aren’t supposed to be. You yourself said the first night you invited me out that you didn’t want to be her replacement. You’re not. You are Eleanore Vaughan. You are a world class dueler, one hair shy of a curse breaker, and an excellent shop owner. Not to mention wicked smart.” He brings one of my hands up to his chest and places it over his heart. “This is yours. Not because I was lonely. Not because you talked me into it. But because I want you, because you’re the only you there will ever be.”

“Theseus…”

“I meant it when I said I didn’t think you wanted me to be interested in spending time with you. I never wanted to push you for anything when we were younger. Then Leta and I grew close. She and I loved each other. Circumstances change, though, and we’re allowed to want and-and to love and care about other people.” He shakes his head and pulls me into a hug. “Rosaline knows exactly how to get to you. She’s not in her right mind. We’ll get her to the Ministry, Dumbledore will look her over, and we’ll figure out how to help her.”

I nod and he pulls back.

“I wouldn’t let you go for all the gold in the world,” he says.

“Even if I’ve murdered someone?”

“Even then. May have to destroy any evidence first, but I’d never leave you.”

I snort and cover my face with my hands. “I’m sorry, Theseus. I’m just… I don’t think I quite feel I deserve you yet.”

“Give it time,” he smiles down at me and presses a kiss to my forehead. “I’m not going anywhere without you. Especially because your cousin is unconscious in the other room and we’ve got to have her at the Ministry in half an hour.”

“Shit, right. I’ll gather up everything we’ll need.” I rush out of the bedroom and skid to a stop in the hallway before turning on my heel and racing back into the room.

I cup his face and pull him into a kiss. He wraps his arms around my middle and kisses me back.

“What was that for?” he asks, out of breath.

“Because you’re you and I never thank you for that,” I say. “Thank you, love. For everything. I couldn’t do any of this without you.”

He laughs. “You just said you needed to put everything we needed together. We can thank each other later.” But he doesn’t let me go and leans in for another kiss instead.

I peck him on the lips and pull back. “You’ll have to let me go so I can.”

He sighs and releases me. I shuffle back out into the hallway.

“Hurry! We’ve only got twenty five minutes, now.”

My Reincarnation Isekai Villainess Rec List

So.  I’ve gone and found myself in Isekai/Reincarnation/Villainess hell.  For those who don’t know Isekai is a genre in which character(s) are transported to a different world.  Initially you might be thinking “oh, she’s gonna share a both a series like Sword Art Online.”  Oh no.  You have underestimated the amount of taste I have.  By which I mean I have none but that SOA is a taste I’m not here for.

Now a very specific sub-genre of that is the reincarnation one, particularly in which a character is reborn as a character from one of their favorite books or games from their previous, modern life.  An even more specific sub-genre of that one is in which the MC is reborn as a villainess from that book or game, thus creating a bit of a challenge as villainesses usually are destined to die in the source material. 

So! Here are my favorites, many of which are all 3 but some combine one or two of the above tropes.  It’s my list so I do what I want.  And most of my faves have a shojo genre tag, or at least a romance tag, because that’s where all the good stuff is: 

-

Survive as the Hero’s Wife by Nokki

Canaria is reincarnated as the villainess of a popular cliche novel. Based on the novel, she is destined to be executed but can she prevent this from happening before it’s too late? 

Why *I* like it:  So this one was the one that really got me into the villainess reincarnation isekai genre!  And it remains the top of my list. The huge draw for me in this one is that I actually really like the main couple!  Like not even just lukewarm, I really like it!  I’d read fic for it, if that existed.  A lot of the villainess genre tend to portray the original heroine as vapid, unworthy of their status of heroine, or the actual villainess but in this case Gracie just turns out to be just an amazing strong woman who doesn’t actually need a man.  (In fact I ship the three together full stop tbh lol).  In fact, it’s a subplot that Gracie realizes (because of MC’s words) that if she wants to inherit her father’s title even though the law says a woman cannot... That she just should strive to change the law rather than be a tool with no use outside of marriage.   And not to spoil anything, but she will definitely do just that.

And since I’m mainly finishing the rough draft of this list out of absolute RAGE at being made fun of for being into this genre.... A compilation of the main love interest, Cesar, because he’s absolutely beautiful.  Look at those eyes!  He’s such a great example of the sullen, dark love interest because he’s not those things when he’s with his wife, the MC!!!  He’s so soft for her.  And the whole point is that the love interest shows a different side to their lover right??

And like the great thing is Canaria, the MC, totally doesn’t notice for the longest time.  She read the novel in her previous life so she’s *convinced* that one day Cesar will fall for the novel’s original leading woman, and she makes plans accordingly throughout their early days of their marriage.  She completely hadn’t thought about the fact that since she’s not being a villainess this time around and not abusing him and everyone around her, and makes friends with Cesar... Like of course the course of events change.  It utterly baffles Cesar when his wife keeps bringing up divorce because he’s so completely in love with her and you just gotta eat that shit up with a spoon because it’s so good and perfect drama but also funny.

There’s even a Halloween chapter where everyone wears costumes and basically I believe I was pandered to specifically.

Tbh, the arc going atm is sorta losing my interest but that’s because there’s political intrigue and I’m like just here for the romance lmao.  So someone looking for substance and not just fluff might be more pleased than I. But it’s still on-going so.  It’s just all in all a fun and great introduction to the genre imo.

I Reincarnated into an Otome Game as a Villainess With Only Destruction Flags by Hidaka Nami (Art) and Yamaguchi Satoru (Story)

Eight-year-old Katarina Claes is the only daughter of a duke, living her life peacefully and without incident until she hits her head on a rock... and then remembers that she is not actually the duke's daughter. She used to be an otaku who died on her way to school after spending the entire previous night playing Fortune Lover, her favorite otome game. After noticing that her current surroundings seem oddly familiar, she is shocked to discover that she has been reincarnated into the world of Fortune Lover as the villainess.

The villainess in the game usually winds up dead or exiled, so Katarina decides to use her knowledge of the game and its routes to avoid any bad situations. But is it even possible for the villainess to reach a good ending?

Why *I* like it:  Ok ok ok, lol. So this one is probably one of the most well-known of the villainess reincarnation isekai genre atm!  Particularly because of the anime currently running.  And for good reason... the MC is so brilliantly stupid in the best of ways.  While she plots on how to escape her fate of being killed or exiled by learning to sword fight and how to garden, she’s more or less seduced every capture target in this dating game... AND all the female rivals to boot AND heroine.  The thing is that she is completely unaware and continues training for the day she is inevitably killed or exiled, as per the game’s original ending.

It’s just a silly, fun series and all the women’s feelings for her are taken about as seriously as all the guys’... Which isn’t much because absolutely no one really has a chance of getting this woman to understand they are all madly in love with her.  Not a series to take seriously which is part of it’s charm, but it retains a lot of heart especially when it comes to the MC Katarina (affectionally called Bakarina by fandom) remembering her friend and family from her past life.  

This series also has a manga spin-off about what if she’d been reincarnated while already in high school and bullying the heroine instead of a child... So basically she’s in hard mode, and yet she still succeeds in getting even more people into her little harem she has for herself.  

Whether you chose to watch the anime or the manga (or the LN, which I haven’t got to) you can’t go wrong.

It Seems Like I Got Reincarnated Into The World of a Yandere Otome Game by  Hanaki, Momiji (Story) and Setsuri (Art)

As a precocious child, Lycoris suffers from a strange sense of deja vu. On the day her father told her about her fiancé, she realizes that her fiancé was a character from an otome game she once played in a previous life.

“I am the heroine’s rival from the game?

And in the bad ending, I get stabbed to death?

What a joke.”

A story in which the protagonist is determined to avoid a yandere situation.

Why *I* like it: Hear me out! I know what you’re thinking... Yanderes??? But here’s the thing...  Just by the MC being kind and getting 2 of the “yandere” characters out of abusive environments, they no longer end up as yanderes as they grow up.   They aren’t those tropes any more!  While the characters remain protective, they aren’t possessive and are happy to see MC branch out, if a little lonely.  And the yandere that remain aren’t treated as hot, but annoying.   So like sorry to disappoint if you think yanderes are hot but this isn’t the series for you.

Additionally, unlike other series of this trope, the MC is pretty quick to realize she just needs to trust her lover, that he will not turn on her and kill her as he did in the game nor will he fall for the heroine instead of her.  It’s somewhat refreshing, as a huge part of the trope is the MC typically doesn’t realize until it’s spelled out that by not acting as a villain.... the rest of the characters don’t want to harm them... And might even have fallen in love with them.

Another fun aspect is how MC doesn’t remember things immediately, but only remembers things from her past life (and of how the game went) until it comes up.  Additionally, she wonders some interesting things that aren’t even mentioned in other series like... What if she’s destined to be exactly like the game character? Will she be forced to be exactly like her? It’s a fun exploration of some common reincarnation isekai villainess tropes if you have experience with the genre!

Ascendance of a Bookworm by Shiina You (Art) and Kazuki Miya (Story)

A book-loving student and soon to be librarian ends up crushed to death by the pile of books during an earthquakes and wakes up as a five year old girl named Main in another world where books are scarce only available to the elite.  Main, retaining her memories of her past life, decides to create and print her own books so she can read again.

Why *I* like it:  So here is we depart from solely the villainess sub-genre (but only briefly!)  Because there is another sub-genre of reincarnation isekai and that’s in which the MC uses the things they learned on our planet earth to re-invent things like shampoo and the printing press.  And no other isekai does it better than Ascendance of a Bookworm imo. Main’s love for books leads her to recreating things she took for granted on Earth and starts selling them from a young age... Which might just end up saving her life as she ends up having a terminal disease that ordinarily she’d only be able to survive by being a slave to a noble... But by selling her products she has a chance to save herself!!!  And the products she creates are available to commoners, not just the nobles who of course make it impossible for the poor to have nice things.

Additionally, a majority of this trope centers around nobles and royalty (and all the best ones are historical settings)... The fun thing about this one is that it actually centers around a povert stricken family.  It’s a good break from the noble hierarchy within most isekai.

Finally, this series is the one that hits most closely to my feelings if I were to be reincarnated in another world... Which is to cry at the realization that I will never finish any of the on-going books and manga I had going on.  That’s absolute hell, I don’t know how any of these MCs deal!! ;_;

btw there is an anime and manga both. Also LN but tbh almost all of these have LN.

Isekai Omotenashi Gohan by  Shinobumaru (Story) and Medamayaki (Art) 

Akane, an ordinary office lady, gets summoned to a different world along with her younger sister and pet dog. There, she ends up treating rare guests one after another with hospitality through meals!! Can she satisfy the citizens of a different world with home cooking...?! 

Why *I* like it:   Continuing our brief deviation from the villainess trope, Isekai Omotenashi Gohan is my favorite example of another subgenre of isekai - one without reincarnation - but one in which a “hero” is transmigrated to another world to save it... The problem? Oppsie, 2 people were taken.  Sometimes in this sub-genre there is a question who the true savior is but in Isekai Omotenashi Gohan’s case they figure that out pretty quickly.  They quickly figure out the MC’s younger sister is the savior.  At first the older sister (Akane) is set aside as unimportant... But her sister only wants to eat the food her sister makes and it quickly becomes obvious that Akane’s role is important.

Akane makes lots of allies and friends by sharing the food from Japan and of course has a very subtle romance going on with her guard.  But honestly I just enjoy this series as a person that likes food manga, like that’s it lmao, so much so that don’t be surprised when I make a best food manga list and yeah sorry Food Wars won’t be on it.

But fr, even if you don’t love the food manga genre try it!! It’s a sweet series and mixes domestic with fantasy in a great way.  Plus only a few series are complete, with the rest being on-going, so if you want a complete and finished series try this one!

The Duke's Fiancee, Why She Had to Go to the Duke by Milcha (Story) and Golae (Art)

When Park Eunha dies in modern-day Korea, she awakens in the body of Raeliana McMillan, the eldest daughter of a nouveaux riche baron. However, this is no ordinary world; it's the exact same one as a novel she once read. Beloved by her family, it would seem as though she is in a fairy tale. But Raeliana is far from the main character—she is a mere plot device, whose murder at the hands of her fiancé instigates the entire story.

Raeliana has no intention to accept her fate quietly. She sets her eyes on someone in a position of great power—the vieux riche male protagonist Duke Noah Volstaire Wynknight—aiming to completely change the original story. Using her knowledge of future events, Raeliana offers information to Noah on the condition that he acts as her fake fiancé, but the Duke's two-faced nature throws a wrench in her plans! 

Why *I* like it:  This one is a fun one!! It really plays with different concepts that don’t often get explored in reincarnation isekai like where did the original consciousness of the character the MC became go??? Because MC only remembers her life on earth and is otherwise treated as though she has amnesia.... But is it amnesia?  Is she another person entirely?

Also the humor is... great.  Listen I refuse to give the best joke in the series just to make you read it but... the series is worth it just for this running joke.

Of course the romance is good too. The dude is kinda an asshole but she gives as good as he dishes out and it quickly becomes flirting anyway.  I don’t want to say too much and give any thing away... but s’good!

Who Made Me a Princess? by Plutus (Story) and Spoon (Art)

The beautiful Athanasia was killed at the hands of her own biological father, Claude de Alger Obelia, the cold-blooded emperor! It’s just a silly bedtime story… until one woman wakes up to suddenly find she’s become that unfortunate princess! She needs a plan to survive her doomed fate, and time is running out. Will she go with Plan A, live as quietly as possible without being noticed by the infamous emperor? Plan B, collect enough money to escape the palace? Or will she be stuck with Plan C, sweet-talking her way into her father’s good graces?!

Why *I* like it:  Ok, big sigh.  How do I explain the pull ‘Who Made Me A Princess?’ has on me?  Now a lot of the pull for many people is how cute the budding father daughter relationship the MC (Athy) has with her dad.  But like, her dad is the worst and I want to fight him.  On the other hand, most of the fandom hates Jeanette, the MC’s sister who has done literally nothing wrong except make everyone around her miserable but it’s not her fault ok, and I’ll fight the entire fandom in her honor.  So it pains me to rec this series knowing that more than likely anyone who picks up this series because of me might have Wrong Opinions and I invite you to tell me just so I can shake my head about another wrong person existing in this world.

Never the less, this series is very cute!  All the other series I have recced had the MC remember their past life at early childhood at the earliest, if not as a teenager.  Athy? She has the misfortune to remember as a *baby* and it’s exactly as hellish as it sounds for an adult to be stuck growing up as a baby and suffer through the absolute embarrassment of having people feed and wipe her ass. 

The MC was an orphan in her previous life and the book that she wakes up in is a shitty book even by her standards but then she really only skimmed it it sounds like that’s what interests me.  As Athy makes changes to the original events of the novel and depth is added to the world, I start to wonder if the added depth was in the original novel or if the world had to add its own depth to stand as an actual lived in world?

Additionally, since I made the cover image Athy and her dad you might as well see her with her 2 love interests (and Jeanette!).  People need to know who to ship, I get it.

Also I need a moment to appreciate, up close, the beauty of Athy’s eyes. So gorgeous.

Living as the Tyrant’s Older Sister by Aperta (Story) and Chyobab (Art)

When I opened my eyes, I was inside a fantasy novel world! The beauty I see in front of the mirror is the future tyrant’s older sister, Alicia! She’s not even a protagonist or an antagonist, but a character that doesn’t appear much and gets beheaded by the (upcoming) tyrant little brother. My life is all about escaping that fate from the novel. In the end, I seduced the male lead’s merchant friend who also doesn’t appear much and was about to leave the country with him. How-e-ver. The face of the man who spent the night with me was extraordinary, and was the male lead himself!

Why *I* like it:   ……………...keke. Ok so this one is one I like just for the laughs.  The love interest is an arrogant asshole, but see… The important detail the summary leaves out is that the MC’s… cousin (?) wrote the book that she woke up in!  Moreover she’s the one that told her cousin to change the MC of her novel and make him good at everything and also make him a freak in the sack.  Like who is really at fault here??? Lmao.  Especially when she goes out intending to seduce a character she remembers being rich from the novel and accidentally bags the MC from the novel, aka the dude who kills her and her brother in the original novel.

In seriousness though, it really is funny.  The facial expressions of the MC is just… chefs kiss.  She’s got a pretty face but then she makes all these goof ass faces and I love it.  If you need any more reason to at least give it a go, just know that at one point the male lead comes to check on her, expecting to find her crying and instead…. Walks in just as she screams FUCK at the top of her lungs and then begins a tirade of very creative curses including "Bitch oompa loompa ass bitch" which how can you not love her?  Anyway the face the male lead makes after that has me maintaining that’s the moment he fell in love with her lmao.. but this is not Confirmed so it’s not a spoiler!!

EDIT: as of August 2020, I’ve since dropped this series. It remains on the list since I’d still rec it to people looking for a laugh.

Seduce the Villain’s Father by bia and dalseul

Upon opening my eyes after a bus accident, I found myself in the fantasy world of a webnovel I enjoyed reading... the only catch is, I reincarnated 20 years before the novel begins! Reborn as Princess Yerenica of the small Lebovny kingdom, I'm determined to change the future in order to prevent the series of unfortunate events that will soon occur!

Why *I* like it:   How many times have you yourself had a suuuuuper side character be your favorite in a series and be depressed to see them done dirty?  Well MC has a chance to fix that, to save a character that basically one appeared in prologue and basically prevent the birth of the villain character that later kills his own father… by seducing his dad, before he can marry the villainess!!

Yerenica is just adorable in her attempts to thwart the original novel.  And like, I have to give her lots of respect for seeing the villainess character and having herself a good moment where she had to consider seducing her instead lmao.  She knows when to let well enough alone though so she immediately boards back on the dad train, much to his chagrin because she keeps calling him father……………….. Even though he’s like…. Not a dad yet.

The characters are still relatively early on in their romance, but I have high hopes for it yet!

Edit: As of August 2020, I’ve dropped this series.  It remains on this list because I think it’s a cute series and I think anyone who feels really strongly about the main couple will enjoy it.

Death Is the Only Ending For The Villainess by Gwon Gyeoeul and SUOL

Penelope Eckart reincarnated as the adopted daughter of Duke Eckart and the villainess of a reverse harem dating sim. The problem is, she entered the game at its hardest difficulty, and no matter what she does, death awaits her at every ending! Before the "real daughter" of Duke Eckart appears, she must choose one of the male leads and reach a happy ending in order to survive. But the two brothers always pick a fight with her over every little thing, as well as a crazy crown prince, whose routes all lead to death. There's even a magician who's enamoured with the female lead, and a loyal slave knight! But somehow, the favourability meters of the male leads increase the more she crosses the line with them!

Why *I* like it:   So this one is another relatively new one added to my list, but it’s shot high up rather quickly!!  The other otome game isekai’s that I have on my list are just like the real world, but the interesting thing about this one, is that it also retains otome game mechanics such as she can see the love interests love meter and also she can chose to use the video game script choices to reply to the characters, in the hopes of raising their love meter.  This adds challenge, since she knows that if she gets any of the dudes to -10 she’ll be killed even as she sort of wonders if she truly would die or wake back up in reality.

What’s interesting also is that while she is the villainess character in the game… It ends up that the character was actually abused for years and that her title as a villain is unfair and that the game can be played as the villainess as even a player as a ‘hard’ mode compared to the heroine character.  It’s up to her to turn things around and it’s actually a fun take on the villainess genre.  I’m really looking forward to how things proceed even as my fears about which dude she’ll end up with continue to increase.

Finally, another layer I enjoy is that the MC lead a similar life in her previous life.  She’d only just escape her own abusive family before she’d ended up here and MC just desperately wants to escape once again… using any means necessary.

The Villainess Reverses the Hourglass by SanSobe (story) and Ant Studio (art)

With the marriage of her prostitute mother to the Count, Aria’s status in society skyrocketed immediately. After leading a life of luxury, Aria unfairly meets death because of her sister Mielle’s schemes. And right before she dies, she sees an hourglass fall as if it were a fantasy. And just like that, she was miraculously brought back to the past.

“I want to become a very elegant person, just like my sister, Mielle.”

In order to face the villainess, she must become an even more wicked villainess. This was the new path Aria chose to take revenge on Mielle who murdered both her and her mother.

Why *I* like it:   If you thought that this list might be in descending order, guess again!  This one is one of my favorites.  Now this one lacks isekai, but is a reincarnation of a villainess!! Rather the MC was an absolute horrible person in her past life, but finds out at the last minute that her ~pure~ sister had been leading her by nose into acting like a brat just seconds before she is executed.  Now that she has a second chance, she’ll be a proper villainess and turn the tables on her sister.

In her last life, Aria never bothered educating herself so now that she’s a teenager again she actually has to learn things again (it’s not just like she gets to act like she’s a genius and good at everything) but she works hard at maintaining a sweet image and making everyone love her, even as she snickers behind their backs, all the while subtly setting her sister up for failure.

This is a proper revenge story, I’m promised by those who read the LN!! Revenge stories about women are rare to come back, especially one that doesn’t make revenge look like a total evil thing lol.  What can I say, I have my interests.  Anyway, it’s super cathartic to watch Aria slowly unfold her masterplan to foil her sister’s plans and take everything that her sister had cherished in her previous life. And all that not to mention the certain powers that Aria later discovers she has at her disposal... :3c

Beware of the Villainess by Bbongdda Mask (story) and Pureunkanna (art)

I became the villainess of a novel! Do I hate it? No! I find it rather nice. A duke’s daughter equals a jobless rich person. How can I miss out on a chance like this?! This is the best chance to just enjoy life. I should throw out the main plot and just live life how I want to! Not long after waking up as the villainess, I witnessed my fiancé, the crown prince and the novel’s male lead, cheating. I saw him embrace a lady other than I and he was smiling so bright. I was brought to tears… Just kidding, I didn’t cry! My tears are worth too much to be wasted on that garbage. Instead of tears, I yelled out, “Your highness, are you trash?”

Why *I* like it:   Listen there are 2 ways to react to waking up as a villain of a series you once read… Either you turn the tables and become a good guy OR you can embrace it!  The world the novel is based on has the basic premise of the pure and good heroine winning the affection of 4 bratty, horrible men.  MC is the fiance of one of them and says fuck that.  She also has some thoughts that none of these dudes deserve the heroine of the novel but this one is still pretty early on so the jury still out on if she’s going to save this poor girl from her fate of ending up with any of these absolute assholes.

This one is along the veins of the previously mentioned Living As the Tyrant’s Older Sister, in that the pull for this series is even less of the romance and more about the comedy aspect… Also MC’s facial expressions are…. Choice.  Just so good. Enough with pretty girls making pretty faces!!  We need more girls being ugly.  It’s what we deserve.  Yell at cheaters!!!!!! Tell them to fuck off!! Yes please.

Accomplishments of the Duke’s Daughter by Reia (Story), Umemiya Suki (Art)

Although she had reincarnated as the daughter of a Duke's house, by the time she regained her memories, the Ending was already here.

"After he cancels my engagement, the story would have me confined to a church. Where can I find my happy ending?"

Why *I* like it:  I never read or watched Wolf and Spice but I imagine this is isekai Wolf and Spice… Well it’s got a lot about the economy at least lmao.   That’s literally the only thing I know about Wolf and Spice.  Anyway!!  The twist in this one is that the MC remembers her past life just as she’s about to be exiled, the end of the original game.  What the series focuses on is her life afterwards, as she scrambles to grab at any semblance of a good life… And she does so pretty quickly!

Her past life comes in handy as she sets to work managing a dukedom and fixes the economy!!  Moreover, even though it pains my heart whenever two women are pitted against each other… It does a great job of putting into question the original heroine’s pure shtick as she spends extravagantly on dresses and would rather just donate to the poor one day, instead of Iris the MC who sets to work on fixing the economy and creating jobs for the poor and putting money into bettering their lives in the long run, rather than throwing money at them and running.  Also, she’s grabbed the attraction of a mysterious man who takes a job helping her even though he is a prince aka the brother of her ex-fiance who he is fighting for the crown for.

-

And that’s it!! My list for now!! Tbh by next month there’ll likely be even more faves as I continue to add more and more series to my read list lol.  Because this isn’t even a fraction of all the reincarnation isekai series I’m into, just the best for certain reasons.

BTW, if you’re like... wow this list sure is straight then true unfortunately. I’m waiting for the day “I Favor The Villainess” gets adapted somehow.  Also there are several isekai in which a straight girl reincarnates into a yaoi novel but I haven’t found a true gem among them yet.

20 OTP Questions

Tagged by the loveliest @shallow-gravy , sorry it took me so long lmao😭

Also sorry for the spelling/grammatical errors ksksks

Tagging: @oktraoktra @fromathelastoveritaserum

Holly and Jacob

1) Who can outdrink the other?

Definitely Jacob. Give Holly more than one glass of alcohol and she instantly becomes a giggling mess.

2) Who says “i love you” more?

I'd say Holly. She said it first (she was patching up Jacob in her cabin, and she just had enough of his "I have to defend Joseph's project with my life" attitude, so she just dropped the "L" bomb. She's a very expressive person, and meanwhile Jacob might not admit it out loud, you can tell from his eyes that he loves her too. (He was surprised though when he first heard it from her, what would anyone, especially this girl almost half his age see in him?)

3) Who has trouble sleeping alone?

Jacob. He never really slept much because of his nightmares, but when Holly came along this changed. She has a little cabin in the Whitetails that Jacob visits quite frequently, and turns out that if he has someone in bed next to him, he can actually sleep better. He still has nightmares sometimes (and Holly quickly learned that she shouldn't wake him up lmao) but usually stroking his back and arms helps.

4) Who swears more?

Maybe Jacob? I mean of course they both swear sometimes, but Holly doesn't like it, and Jacob never loses his temper when he's angry, his self-control is legendary

5) Who does more of the housework?

I guess Holly, because Jacob doesn't spend that much time at her cabin, and he has a bunch of peggies who will clean up the veteran center just fine (the weak have their purpose after all)

6) Who forgets their anniversary?

They don't really have one? Their "relationship" is well..a unique one, and it's not like they're dating. There is definitely something going on between them, but it's easier to avoid naming it than facing the consequences

7) Who steals the duvet in their sleep?

That would be Jacob when he's having a nightmare. Otherwise they both sleep very still, so they don't really have this problem

8) Who keeps the other awake at night with their snoring?

While Jacob can keep Holly up with his night terrors, she has her own weapon: snoring. She only snores when she had a really exhausting day carrying the whole resistance on her back and she's extremely tired. But oh boy, can this girl snore at time like these. When Jacob heard it for the first time, he literally had vietnam flashbacks lol

9) Who finds stray animals and begs the other to let them keep them?

Neither would beg, Holly will keep those animals without anyone else's permission (see Boomer, Peaches and Cheeseburger), and we all know what happens when Jacob decides to "keep" an animal (The moose and bear judges? Remember them?)

10) Who usually makes dinner?

Jacob, surprisingly. Holly usually just eats whatever she can, but after Nick saw her eating gummy bears for breakfast and lunch for the third time in a row, his dad instincts kicked in and he decided to feed her himself instead. Jacob noticed it too, so sometimes he makes some watery mac-n-cheese, because he knows she'll need the energy for later (wink wink)

11) Who plays their music out loud?

Holly! She unironically loves the peggie radio, so usually it plays in the background while she's cleaning her weapons.

12) Who hogs the bathroom?

Also Holly! She likes to keep her hair in a fancy bun, and it takes time because she's still half asleep when she's doing it (Jacob doesn't really understand the fuss about her hair, but he agrees that it's better than letting it get in the way when she's aiming with her guns)

13) Who gives the most compliments?

Jacob. Most of them are praises for her abilities, but come on, that man has a praise kink for sure. Especially when they're in bed.

14) Who usually starts/causes arguments between them?

They're pretty peaceful actually? They both accepted that Holly's cabin is a safe zone, so they don't start fights about the project. She gets fed up with his self sacrificing bullshit sometimes, but so does he with her constant recklessness.

15) Who isn’t afraid to embarrass the other in public?

Jacob. They're both very subtle with the "thing" that's going on between them, but Jacob enjoys leaving marks on her skin, and he replaced Holly's shitty knife with his own without telling her, just to enjoy the image of her getting embarrassed when someone mentions it

16) Who gives the other cringeworthy pet names?

Neither of them. Jacob likes to call her she-wolf (or pup but that's a rare one) and Holly sometimes calls him old man when she's feeling extra smug about something

17) Who fusses over the other when they get sick?

Both? Jacob doesn't really get sick, but they do tend to eachother's wounds. As Holly gets injured quite often, this became part of their routine, and Jacob is surprisingly gentle with her during these little sessions.

18) Who finds it impossible to stay angry at the other for long?

Okay so this one got me thinking, because Holly is completely aware of the horrible things Jacob had done (and is doing) and she hates that she's still craving his presence, just to be around him. So I'd say Holly, because she's angry at him, but not as much as she hates herself for loving him.

19) Who clings to the other for comfort when they’re sad or scared?

Both of them! Holly never killed anyone before she came to Hope County (she was still a rookie, and arresting Joseph would have been her first "real" job) so it was pretty traumatizing for her. She tries to act desensitized, but after she accidentally eavesdropped on some peggies while sneaking in an outpost, she realized that they are people too with families and loved ones, no matter how wrong the cause is they're fighting for.

After that she had a breakdown (Jacob caught her in a weak moment and oh boy he doesn't know how to comfort a crying girl who is supposed to be his enemy) but in the end he managed to calm her down by rubbing smoothing circles on her back.

And however tough he might be, his nightmares can leave him very vulnerable, so Holly just snuggles up to him every time, touching her forehead against his, and this combined with her calming lavender scent makes him fall asleep faster than anything.

20) Who is more ‘physically passionate’? (hugs, kisses, or maybe more…)

Jacob. Holly is still a little shy around him, (even after they had sex) so most of the time Jacob is the one who initiates things. He likes to grab her hips and squeeze them as a warning before he does anything (and he likes the little sound she makes when he does this)

MY MUSE IS:  canon / oc / au / canon-divergent / fandomless / complicated

is your character popular in the fandom? YES / NO. (this 90s kid won’t die)

is your character considered hot™ in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK. (his adult version is according to a lot of people. I think he looks like a dork tho.)

is your character considered strong in the fandom?  YES / NO / IDK. (overpowered.)

are they underrated?  YES / NO / IDK. (overrated.)

were they relevant for the main story? YES / NO. (in his game and like 3 other Links’ games because he split the timeline lmao.)

were they relevant for the main character? YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG. 

are they widely known in their world? YES / NO. 

how’s their reputation?  GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL 

HOW STRICTLY DO YOU FOLLOW CANON? —  Pretty close. I go by the book and fill in headcanons where there’s cracks or grey areas. In the case of Nintendo retcons, I’ll acknowledge it and try to fit in both “canons” if I can. Like Time’s age I’ve explained before was originally a year older until they decided in the 3DS remake to knock it down a year. Thus, Time’s actually a year older than he says he is because he really doesn’t know his own age!

SELL YOUR MUSE! AKA TRY TO LIST EVERYTHING, WHICH MAKES YOUR MUSE INTERESTING IN YOUR OPINION TO MAKE THEM SPICY FOR YOUR MUTUALS.  —  Time traveling elf with the power of god and anime on his side. Actually turns into a god. And many other magical creatures. Fought the moon. Refuses to die so he can say hi to his descendant. Sick dance moves.

NOW THE OPPOSITE, LIST EVERYTHING WHY YOUR MUSE COULD NOT BE SO INTERESTING (EVEN IF YOU MAY NOT AGREE, WHAT DOES THE FANDOM PERHAPS THINK?).  —  Asshole with a bad temper. Became a lich because he didn’t get enough attention in life. Horrible father -- called his own descendant a disgrace and a coward. Forgets everything.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO RP YOUR MUSE?  —  I’ve loved him since I was younger than young him if that says anything.

WHAT KEEPS YOUR INSPIRATION GOING?  —  Good question. I don’t know.

SOME MORE PERSONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE MUN.

give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.

do you think you give your character justice? YES / NO / I SINCERELY HOPE I DO? (when it comes to writing Links there’s almost no wrong?)

do you frequently write headcanons?  YES / NO / SORT OF?

do you sometimes write drabbles?  YES / NO / ON A RARE OCCASION

do you think a lot about your muse during the day? YES / NO

are you confident in your portrayal? YES / NO / SORT OF?

are you confident in your writing?  YES / NO. / SORT OF?

are you a sensitive person?  YES / NO. / SORT OF? (Generally no but it depends on other factors? Did I have a bad day? probably then.)

DO YOU ACCEPT CRITICISM WELL ABOUT YOUR PORTRAYAL?  —   While I don’t encourage people to police each other on such things, if I do make a discrepancy with canon y’all are ok to point it out bc I want to be as close to it as I can!! :D Again, there sometimes might be a discrepancy with Nintendo retconning everything lately.

DO YOU LIKE QUESTIONS, WHICH HELP YOU EXPLORE YOUR CHARACTER?  —  heck yeah, let ‘em roll. This goes for any muse!

IF SOMEONE DISAGREES TO A HEADCANON OF YOURS, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY?  —   Look. I’ve had someone disagree with Minish Cap’s canon (Ezlo’s “Wishing Cap” is too powerful and shouldn’t have the same ability of the Triforce lmao). I really don’t care. I’ll occasionally write stupid conspiracy theories that are meant to be disagreed with. I don’t agree with those myself! I just think they’re funny because Game Theories are so wild and out there anyway. Example: OCTAVO IS AN ALIEN, PROVE ME WRONG. YOU WON’T.

IF SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH YOUR PORTRAYAL, HOW WOULD YOU TAKE IT? — Nintendo would disagree with them?? Link’s personality is up to the player, and in this case, up to the writer.

IF SOMEONE REALLY HATES YOUR CHARACTER, HOW DO YOU TAKE IT?  —  I mean... he is an asshole.

ARE YOU OKAY WITH PEOPLE POINTING OUT YOUR GRAMMATICAL ERRORS?  — Please do. As I’ve revealed with today’s tumblr update I’m dyslexic and I’ll switch around words and letters without realizing it and sometimes spelling/grammar check won’t catch it. I’m constantly proofreading which means my drafts can take hours to make sure I didn’t mess anything up. If you don’t understand what I typed let me know! ;v;

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE EASY GOING AS A MUN?   —   I have a very strong barrier with strangers and can come off as cold, but if I follow someone that means the shields are down with them and I’m p chill otherwise.

[abla-soso]

bootlickerhawks mentioned you in a post “bootlickerhawks: I’ve been seeing a lot of shitty takes on Hawks and...”

…point of Hawks’ character). @ abla-soso ​ I’ve already spelled…

lmaoooooooooooo oh wow

Here’s the thing, you absolute clown: I never realized I commented on your shitty posts before because I literally don’t bother with remembering the names of everyone I interact with on this hellsite

none of you are worth remembering

it’s just silly fandom discourse for me

but now I realize I should have blocked your dumbass in the first place and saved myself the trouble of running into your awful takes over and over in the Hawks tag

My bad, I guess

I’ve already spelled out how Hawks has been framed as the villain from the start of his confrontation w/ Twice

LOL that’s because we’re seeing Hawks through Twice’s eyes!

Of course Twice would see anyone stopping him as the bad guy. Of course he’d see himself as a victim.

Character’s POV is a thing, dumbass.

Exploring a character’s POV does NOT mean validating that character’s POV.

Seeing Hawks framed as the bad guy through Twice’s eyes does NOT mean the narrative itself framed Hawks as the bad guy.

Hawks is the one trying to save the lives of innocent people here and Twice is one trying to kill innocent people.

You really think Horikoshi - a shonen manga writer - was trying to argue that the guy trying to kill innocent people was the victim in this situation and his attacker was in the wrong? fucking LOL

“I’ve also elaborated on what Hawks’ role could be in the overall narrative”

Oh yeah, now I remember how hard I rolled my eyes when I first read this post.

Hawk's moral character is so fragile that he’d join a terrorist group after finding out that his childhood idol was an abusive prick???

Hawks would achieve his freedom and agency by chaining himself to the villain’s evil agenda???

Hawks’ role in the narrative is to give moral justification to the villains terrorist acts???

Ew, thank god you’re not writing this story.

“I could elaborate on how Hawks is an agent for the state and the implications if he were to kill Twice”

Your fanon headcanons are not canon implications.

I could easily argue that the league of villains is coded as a terrorist group lashing out against a corrupt government (and the government's corruption does not justify acts of terrorism).

Thus I could argue that killing Twice is akin to killing a terrorist who refused to surrender and who insisted on carrying out acts of terrorism.

You have no basis to argue that your fanon interpretation holds more weight than mine or others.

Because CANON showed that the league of villains don’t give a flying fuck about marginalized groups outside of their own group. They dehumanize anyone who opposes them (including people who suffered just as much as them). They literally target innocent civilians indiscriminately. They are NOT fighting against state injustice. They’re not fighting for the outcasts of hero society. They’re fighting to get revenge for themselves, nothing more.

Now onto your utterly disgusting personal attacks:

“harassing anybody that so much as breathes on Endeavor wrong”

I NEVER harassed anyone. I NEVER went out of my way to interact with people who disliked Endeavor’s character. I merely debated people who wrote anti-endeavor hate posts on Endeavor’s main tag. And I only lost my temper with the idiots who claimed that Endeavor’s arc supports abuse.

“calling an abusive father a HERO for attempting to kill his own son”

WHEN, BITCH? WHERE?!  

“unapologetically misgendering a trans teenager”

WTFFF? what a nasty lying bitch you are!!!

I didn’t know that person identified themselves as trans, you lying sack of shit, and I edited my post after they told me. The fact that I didn’t grovel begging for forgiveness for an unintentional mistake I made does NOT mean I unapologetically tried to trigger someone.

You’d really accuse me of intentionally triggering someone because I don’t like your fandom opinions, huh?

“so I’m not gonna give you the satisfaction of my time”.

You certainly had enough time to lie and falsely accuse me of vile shit I’ve never done, lmao.

You are so fucking disgusting.

Fuck all the way off.

I was tagged by @mistbornhero.  Thank you, friend! 🥰

I’ll tag... @merwaines, and the one other person I thought of had been tagged by the same person as me lol.  No obligation to, of course.  And if you would like to do this then by all means feel free to say I tagged you lol

AO3 name: Nebula5030

Fandoms: Merlin, Yuri On Ice, and then I have a couple WIPs for Forever, Wayward Children, and Galavant

Number of fics: I have 70 works on AO3, but only 54 of them are fics I’ve written - the rest are art

Fic you spent the most time on: Well, um, I have a two chapter fic that I posted the first chapter during November of 2018 and haven’t posted the second chapter yet 😶  Otherwise I do have a couple completely unposted WIPs I started in late 2017 but haven’t finished yet either

Fic you spent the least time on: I Draw Back the Veil and I Say A Prayer took me an hour and a half.  As far as I know it’s the only fic that I managed to complete in one sitting

Longest fic: For the Love of All Who Gather.  Coming in at a cool 92,504 words 😎

Shortest fic: Want and A Secret of Night are both 100 words

Most hits: For the Love of All Who Gather, with 8566

Most kudos: The Meeting of Dragoon and Arthur, with 554

Most comment threads: lmaooooo that one’s The Wonders I Know with 547 - SOLELY because I have one subscriber who likes to chat with me in my comments.  That work is 30 short fics in one work and with a convo happening in each one...yeah it builds up lmao

Fave fic you wrote: Ironically even though it isn’t about the OTP, the one I find myself rereading the most is A Time of Joy - maybe it’s just because it’s SOFT and FLUFFY and GOOD FOR MY HEART OKAY??

Fic you want to rewrite/expand on: 🤔 There are a couple ideas in The Wonders I Know that I want to rework (I have a revision for the last fic in that collection in my gdocs actually) but I think I would like to redo For the Love of All Who Gather.  Since it had a deadline, I was forced to skim over a lot of things I would have liked to touch on - mostly going more in depth with the Druid culture and what Merlin learns while he’s with them.  Not to mention actually going and seeing what happens in Camelot while Merlin and Gwaine are gone lol

Share a bit of your WIP or share a story idea that you’re planning: Oh man how do you expect me to just pick one lmao 

Context for this one: I had gone on a Spock/Kirk kick one day, and read a lot of “Mind Meld” fics.  Since I can’t turn off the Merwaine hyperfixation, I decided I needed a Merwaine Mind Meld Fic in my life

So I started writing one

Basically: Merlin and Lancelot find a grievously injured Gwaine out in the woods.  It’s not looking good, and Merlin, in a last ditch attempt to save Gwaine’s life, performs a spell he had only briefly read: a spell designed to connect two people’s magic together, and he hopes that this spell will give Gwaine a boost and allow them to get him to Camelot in time.  It works, Merlin and Gaius fix him up, and Gwaine is left to recover on his own.  However, Merlin begins to notice that...the spell isn’t disappearing.  He can still feel Gwaine in a way he never could before.  So he goes to read his spell book to find out how long the spell is supposed to last, hoping it’ll disappear soon.  Especially since Gwaine doesn’t know about his magic, and he would rather it fade before Gwaine realizes something is up.

And he doesn’t like what he finds lmao

Lancelot rapped his knuckles gently against the door to the physician’s tower, before opening it quietly and looking inside.

Gaius was standing by his workbench, examining something in a vial in his hand.  He smiled a bit when he saw Lancelot.  “Ah, Lancelot,” Gaius said, voice low.  “Gwaine is still resting so we’ll have to be quiet.  But what can I do for you?”

“I just wanted to check in,” Lancelot said just as quietly, stepping in and shutting the door behind himself.  A glance to the patient cot confirmed what Gaius said: Gwaine was still asleep.  He didn’t stir when Lancelot walked in, but Lancelot could see his chest rise and fall as he breathed.  “How is he?”

“Improving.  He woke for a short while, so we managed to get some food and water in him before leaving him to his rest once more.”

Lancelot nodded, a small smile of relief coming to him.  “Is Merlin in?”

“He’s in his room,” Gaius said, turning back to whatever it was he was making.  “He’s been back there for a while now - I’m not entirely sure what he is doing.”

Lancelot nodded and thanked Gaius, before he headed further into the back.  He climbed up the two stairs, before knocking once more.  “Merlin?”

And from inside, Lancelot heard a very muffled and dejected sounding, “In here.”

He opened Merlin’s door to find the man in question lying face down on his bed, his face mashed into the pillow, and his arms to his sides - as if he had simply fallen face first onto the bed and had made no effort to reposition himself.

Lancelot was, in a word, concerned.  “…Merlin?” he asked as he stepped in and shut the door behind himself.  “Is everything alright, my friend?”

“Arthur’s right,” Merlin said, voice still muffled due to a face full of pillow.

“…in what regard?”

Merlin sighed heavily.  “In that I’m an idiot.”

He lifted an arm and pointed to his desk, but otherwise didn’t move.

Lancelot glanced between the desk and Merlin for a moment, confused and concerned still, but then he stepped over to the desk.  Merlin’s spell book was on top, opened to a page somewhere in the middle.  He skimmed it over: the spell displayed was designed to connect two people’s magic, allowing for limitless telepathic communication, empathy between the two of them, and the ability to sense where the other was.  A footnote noted that it was often used by Druids after they got married. 

Lancelot wasn’t quite understanding.  “And this is relevant because…?”

“Remember that spell I used to heal Gwaine yesterday?  The mind one?”

“I do, yes.”

“Well…that’s it.”  It was then Merlin turned his head, meeting Lancelot’s gaze.  “And it’s permanent.”

“Oh,” Lancelot said simply.  Then he realized.  “Oh!  Oh…well, oh dear, Merlin.  What do you plan to do?”

Merlin shook his head frantically as he sat up.  He gripped his hair with a hand.  “I don’t know!  I thought the spell was only to - give him a boost!  Not…tie us permanently to each other!”

Even though Merlin had just sat up, he flopped back onto the bed with a groan, and covered his face with his hands.  “He’s going to wake up and I’m going to have to explain what happened.  I didn’t even ask, Lancelot, I just did it because I wanted to help him!  I didn’t know it would do this!”

Lancelot was quiet for a moment, thinking over what to say.

He came over and sat on the edge of the bed.  “What you did saved his life.  Gwaine doesn’t strike me as the kind of man to take that lightly; I’m sure he’ll understand.”

“But what if he doesn’t want…this?” Merlin exclaimed, sitting up and gesturing wildly to himself.  “I can feel him in my mind, Lancelot.  I can feel his pain, his emotions.  Once he’s awake he’ll feel the same for me.  We’re going to be stuck like this - forever!”

“…is that really so terrible?”

Merlin blinked at Lancelot, as if he hadn’t considered that other possibility.  He let out a breath.  “…maybe not, but…it still feels wrong.  Like I’m violating his privacy.”

Lancelot considered this.  “…we’ll wait to see what Gwaine thinks,” he said calmly.  “I’m sure there’s a way to reverse it.  While the spell may be designed to be permanent, I am certain there have been people who have wanted to break it.”

Merlin met his eyes.  “And what if there isn’t?”

“Then you and Gwaine are just going to have to learn how to live with it.”
