Future mini-series and one-shot plans ✨️

I've got a few ideas for one-shots and fics to tide yall over until the smut hits in "Twist of Fate". 👀

I've already got a small, spin off mini-series of ToF called "Strings of Fate" (name pending), a whole bunch of hybrid one-shot series, a Fated/Soulmate one-shot series, a Tropes mini-series, a cam girl one-shot series, an android (based on Detroit become human) one-shot series, a fairy tale one-shot series, possibly a professors one-shot series, possibly a super heroes one-shot series, some possible OT2 (threesomes) and OT3 (foursomes) with not a single idea in mind, and some one-shots regarding the boys' myth 5 star cards!

I'll be explaining them below the cut! 🩷

So yall can let me know which you would like to see first, I'll tell you what I've got so far with each of them! Since I'm, also, completely unsure which I want to work on or if I want to change the idea entirely. Maybe yall will have some thoughts on how I can work the ideas a bit better as well!

I can't say much on the spin-off since it's major spoilers for ToF and, so, I'll probably start it after I get up to 25 or 30 chapters in posting ToF.

The hybrid ideas though...I have a lot. I got most of these (if not all of these ideas besides the hybrid ones) from my scrapped BTS fic ideas so if I decide to write BTS ones, you might see some overlapping.

Oh right, let me explain Hybrids for those who might not know. They're basically like nekos, think of those hot cat girls in anime. They're humans with animal parts or characteristics!

But anyway, the first section is "Prey Hybrids". I have Rafayel down as an axolotl, Xavier as a frosty Holland lop rabbit, Sylus as either a sika deer or a tufted deer (both are native to south asia and I have no idea which one to use), and Zayne as a Black Beauty sugar glider.

Next section is "deadly hybrids". I have Rafayel under Great White Shark (they have two penises so I could use this in the story), Xavier as a Grey Wolf (wolves can knot 👀), Sylus as a melanistic tiger, and Zayne is a leopard seal. Now, I'm not sure how I'll make Zayne into a leopard seal hybrid, I was going to use a snow leopard but...I have a "polar hybrid" section coming up soon and also I didn't want two big cats in one part.

Now, we're onto "domesticated hybrids" so think of your cats, dogs, any animal that humans have thought "hey, that'd be a good pet" fits here. Rafayel is a calico koi fish (still undecided here), Xavier is a Corgi (I thought golden retriever but I didn't want to say the obvious), Sylus is a black smoke Maine Coon, and Zayne as an Agouti Husky.

"Uncanny Hybrids" is our next category and for uncanny, I wanted to do hybrids that not a lot of people write for. Like you usually see cats, dogs, octopi, sharks, squid, and stuff like that so I wanted to do the ones that not many people would do and that's difficult. Rafayel would be a chevrotain (which is a mouse deer with little fangs), Xavier would (fittingly) be a sloth, Sylus would be a vampire bat, and Zayne would be a Kangaroo (I might swap Sylus and Zayne but do note that Kangaroo have two penises as well; and I have no idea how to explain to my FBI agent just why my search history is filled with stuff like this but I must do my research for stories 😞).

Two more categories. We have "Polar hybrids" as mentioned earlier and "Mythological Hybrids".

For the polar ones, Rafayel is an arctic fox, Xavier is a penguin, Sylus is a snow owl, and Zayne is a polar bear!

As for the mythological, it's half unfinished. I only have Rafayel as a kitsune and Sylus as a cerberus/hellhound hybrid with Y/n being the daughter of Hades.

The Fated/Soulmate series! I'm unsure what to call this exactly. I might have it under "Fated mini-series" but it's going to be four different one-shots with each of the guys under a different soulmate trope. So you can give me feedback about this as well or even comment something you'd want to see instead or even help add upon the idea itself!

Rafayel's soulmate trope would be the "colourblind until you touch" trope. Where everyone is colourblind until you meet your soulmate but for an added twist, the first touch from your soulmate leaves an imprint wherever they touched. So, for example, Rafayel grabs your arm as you try to leave and it leaves a pretty, water-coloured imprint on your wrist. I think that would be a fitting and cute combination for Rafayel.

Xavier's soulmate trope would either be "dreams of a past life together", so you both dream of your past life and have to find the person in your dreams, or "at a young age, you can make something and send it to your soulmate. This item will be key in finding your soulmate as an adult." So, let's say you send Xavier the star sword tassel and he sends you a crystal (imagine the protocore he tries to give the mc in his anecdotes). Then, as adults, you see Xavier walking to class with the charm on his backpack while your grandma, Josephine, turned the crystal into a necklace. Edit; this has been changed to a "tattoo mark" appearing when making contact with your soulmate annnnd the guideverse (so think espers and guides)

Zayne's is, by far, my favourite idea. It's "once you touch your soulmate, you get opposing evols". So similar to "opposites attract". You're childhood friends with Zayne and for some reason (spoilers), you wear gloves so you can touch anyone. Zayne also wears gloves in solidarity with you but, one day, he forgets his gloves and catches you when you slip. His hands touch your bare elbows and suddenly, he has an ice evol and yours is fire. For some extra angst, fire is traumatic for you and so is the thought of soulmates.

Sylus's is more of a funny idea than anything. A "tangible red string of fate" so similar to the evol linkage in game. He can drag you around with it and everything. It gets more visible and stronger the more you think about the other person, so at first its barely even noticeable and he can't move you with it. But soon, he can literally drag you out with him and you can play a funny game of tug-of-war with it. Edit; I really want to change this one so i might hold a voting for it as well

I also had the fleeting idea of grumpy x sunshine but that's more of a "trope" than a soulmate trope.

I also have another good fate idea for Rafayel, a stand-alone one. This soulmate au would be "your soulmate is from another world and you get dreams of their day-to-day life. You must decide if you'll cross over to their world by your 23rd birthday and, if you choose not to, you'll lose your connection to them." In this au, Rafayel would be the God of the Sea and you would be an average person. Rafayel would be more than willing to leave his life for his soulmate but as the last God of the Sea...You end up making the decision for him.

The Tropes mini-series;

So this one is a four-shot with an accumulation of tropes. So each LADS boy will have a one-shot of a different trope. Like friends to lovers, rivals to lovers, etc.

I could've went the obvious route and chose Zayne or Xavier as childhood friends to lovers but I didn't want the easy way out to be honest.

The trope I chose for Rafayel is "amnesia". You've lost your memory and woke up in the hospital with a man seated next to you. His hand desperately gripping your own as if he were a balloon about to fly away. "Uh...hello?" You ask, your throat feeling dry as if you hadn't spoken in weeks. "Y/n!?" The man jerks awake with wide eyes. Tears flood his waterline and he gently cups your face. You can feel his hands trembling and you tilt your head to the side, confused, "Are you...my boyfriend?" "What-" Rafayel looked confused, but it only takes a few seconds before he nods, "Yes. I'm Rafayel, your boyfriend."

In actuality, you're his bodyguard and you got injured trying to protect him. He lies to you because he doesn't want you to put yourself in danger for him anymore.

Edit; this one has since been changed to "love at first sight" + reincarnation + slight enemies to lovers

Xavier's trope is a complete flip on what you would originally expect. I chose "rivals to lovers" for him, just because I had a small idea where he could be a lightseeker and you would be the other faction. (I forgot the names of the knights on Philo, they're from Xavier's lightseeker myth if you're confused) But you also get annoyed with Xavier because he keeps putting off his princely duties. Annnnd it would be funny to call him "Princess". I have since changed mind and Xavier's "Pragma(tic) Love" is out now!

Zayne's trope is also not "friends to lovers". Instead I thought "forbidden love". This one is a bit of a stretch and I can tweak it if it's unliked but this would be a fantasy au where Zayne is from the Kingdom of Linkon and he's a saint blessed by Astra (the God from his Forseer myth) and you are a princess from the Kingdom of Philo. You were blessed by the Goddess Lux (I made her up and her name means light) and you've come to Linkon's Kingdom to possibly marry their prince, Greyson (I didn't want to use a love interest for this role), and unite the kingdoms. Instead you, a princess from a kingdom who doesn't believe in Astra, and Zayne, a follower of Astra, fall in love. Also, Zayne's powers cannot affect you because of Lux's blessing, which gives you the ability to resonate (make other's powers stronger), heal, and create a ball of light so hot that it feels like fire itself. Edit; this one has been changed to "brother's best friend" <3

Now, Sylus is our friends to lovers! A modern au friends to lovers where your mother is a top operative in Onychinus, a crime syndicate led by Sylus's parents. You meet while young (but not too young) and have a seven year age gap. You've always had a crush on Sylus, since you were little, and Sylus possibly does but he avoids thinking about it because of your age difference. At 30, he feels like he's way too old for you, at 23 in this. Now, to not make it weird, your mother passes away and you're sent to your grandma, Josephine's to live a better life away from all the crime. You grow up there from highschool, all the way until college when disaster strikes. On your way home for springbreak with Caleb, your friend- who your grandmother took in, your home explodes. The blast kills both Caleb and your grandma. This was clearly an attack by a rival gang and Sylus steps in to take you back to Onychinus.

Edit; this one has been changed as well, I'm unsure of what just yet though, but there's a voting for what it could be! (Sept 2, 2024)

I hope you guys aren't tired of this by now! But either way, I'll keep going since I'm not done yet. I just wanna put my ideas out there and figure out which I should be working on as I post my weekly chapters for "Twist of Fate".

The next category is the "camgirl" mini-series. This one was a must-have to add because I've read so many BTS camgirl one-shots and loved them so much. I doubt any of the four guys would ever want their love on camera for everyone to see but they might not mind as much if they're on screen with her...

So for Sylus, I already have a name. I came up with it at work- "Welcome to the Puppet Show".

The idea is as follows, "Sylus strings you up like a puppet with his evol during one of your weekly cam-sessions." That's it. That's all I got.

For the rest, Xavier's would be the usual. He's your childhood friend and he recently gifted you a necklace for your birthday. His friend, Jeremiah, tells him about this camgirl website and jokingly shows him a few videos. After this, Xavier has been watching your lives for a while now until he notices something peculiar in today's session. You're wearing the necklace he gave you. He instantly knows it's you because he got the necklace custom made and he confronts you about it.

Rafayel is a tattoo artist and he recently gave you a tattoo. It was a pretty unique one so he'd never forget what it looked like, especially where you had it done. A cute, little koi fish ying-yang under your breast. He sees the tattoo in one of your cam-sessions and I'm not sure how you would meet up after that, if I'm honest so let's move on to Zayne.

Zayne is your partner during your cam-shows. He's your close friend from school and once he learnt of your cam-shows, he casually offers to be a part of them for when your fans get tired of your solo lives. He's always only lent a hand, never actually fucking you. Neither on camera nor off. But on your final live, you ask him to fuck you. This is your final live because you're planning on confessing your feelings for him afterward.

Now, we're onto the most unsure one of all; the Android mini-series.

The Android mini-series is, once again, solo one-shots compiled into a series. This series was heavily taken from an old bts mini-series I had. Like Rafayel's would've been Taehyung's (his model would've been the Vante KTH7-1230), Xavier's would've been Jimin's (his model would've been PJM7-1013), Zayne's would've been Namjoon's (his model being Holmes 2.0 KNJ7-0912), and Sylus's would've been Yoongi's (his model being OG Holmes MYG7-0309). So, I might change Zayne and Sylus's models because I might want to write this idea for bts in the future, but just let me know if you want to see it and I'll make some changes!

For Rafayel's, you were fully colourblind when you were younger but you were deadset on becoming an artist. Your grandma, Josephine, had always wanted the best for you so she worked many days of overtime at her job until she could finally afford a corrective surgery- but only for one eye. You've gotten the surgery, which was replacing your original eye with an android one so now you have one e/c (eye colour) eye and one magenta eye. Later on in life, you were finally in college for an art degree and your professor gifts you his old android. A Delaux model (the model is named after a famous artist who painted mermaids) with the ID number RF04-0306. The Delaux model of androids are used to help artists with colour correction and matching, give input on what would sell best or look more appealing to buyers, and even give an artist ideas for artworks or create compelling backstories that their artwork could be based upon. All Delaux androids have unnatural coloured hair since it's against their coding to have nature hair because it's normal and therefore boring for such an artsy android model. Rafayel is the only Delaux model with his hair colour.

Next up is Xavier. He's a Lux model android with the ID XV04-1016. Lux model androids are primarily used as an assist for the military and police force as replacements for the K-9 unit, so they're lithe and light on their feet. These models always have blonde or silver hair if they work for the police and black hair if they're affiliated with the military. If they have any different hair colour, then the Lux model is considered defective and is terminated. These models cannot be kept by the public because they're a higher caliber of android, unless they are protecting a rich client. For your story, you find him in an alleyway or maybe a garbage dump and he's half destroyed. You decide to bring him home to your mechanic shop (your home is above the shop) to repair him. Once your power him on, he remembers nothing so you decide to keep him around- almost as if he's a stray dog. Also, in this story, you have an android arm. For this one, I'm 100% sure if I want him to be a military android but it makes sense for him. It was either this or a sex worker android and I feel like that doesn't fit with him..

Zayne is a Holmes 2.0 model android with the ID number ZY04-0905. The one and only Holmes model in existence since the last one was shut down because it was ruled compromised (or deviant) after a various amount of tests. The Holmes model is a less animalistic version of the Lux model; These androids are more intuitive and less likely to instigate conflict. Black hair is their only choice of hair colour, anything else and they will be decommissioned. In this, you are a damn good detective. The best there ever was...until your accident. You miscalculated an explosion radius during your last big mission and it costed you big time. You ended up losing both an arm and a leg. Your boss (the chief of police) compensated you for your injuries. He provided you with an android arm and leg to replace what you had lost and a brand new Holmes 2.0 model android to be your little sidekick for the next few months, until you can get used your new limbs. This would be his first official test run before the EVER corporation created more of his model. But you hated it. You felt useless to your team and you felt less human with your new android add-ons. You pretty much took out your anger on your newly acquired android because they gave you an android to solve a problem that an android caused in the first place! Damn defective android almost killed you, all because it "didn't want to die". I love the premise of this but Holmes doesn't fit with Zayne's aesthetic. I can always swap him to a medical assistance android where Y/n has a heart condition and Zayne is her android that takes care of her but it's up to yall! If I change Zayne, I have to change Sylus's though because their models go hand in hand for the story.

And lastly, we have Sylus. He...can't remember his model name but he knows his ID number, SL04-0418. Though, every time he looks up his ID number, he gets no results. Nothing. It's almost as if his model never existed or...it was decommissioned. That would mean he's defective and he doesn't want to admit that. He doesn't want to be shut down. After searching, he soon learns that he might be the original Holmes model but...it's not like he can just ask anyone, they'd shut him down if he asked..right?

You have worked in the big, shiny and glaringly white EVER corporation building for years at this point, creating and customizing many androids that are constantly in every day use. You painstakingly detailed everything about these androids from their faces to even their personalities and the very first Holmes model was no exception. You grew very close to this android during the years of designing and creating him, you even gave him a name. Sylus. He was one of your favourites, out of all of your creations, and...he was decommissioned. You honestly never thought you'd see him again until you were brought in to shut him down and you couldn't bring yourself to do it. You had loosely based his looks on an old friend whom you had a one-sided crush on. From his hair to his eyebrows, his physique and even the scar on his chest. You were able to take full creative liberties with the very first Holmes model android because, well, it was the first in existence. But now, he's just called a failed prototype. You made him too...human. Too independent and strong willed. This wasn't the designated personality for a Holmes model android and this ultimately led to a cop becoming gravely injured on Sylus's first mission. The negligence caused by your own hand haunts your every day because you could've killed someone. It would've been your fault, after all. But now with that android, your android, standing right in front of you once more...You can't seem to let him go. You can't lose him, not for a second time. You're willing to throw your whole job away to protect him, sick and tired of androids being treated horribly just because they're becoming self aware and more human. So again, let me know if you like this idea and if you do, I hope you won't mind if I end up re-hashing it when I possibly make my bts android mini-series <3 because I genuinely can't think of anything that works with Sylus. Nothing else really makes sense but I'm also unsure of how the story would go with this one 🤔

I think we're at the half-way point! This is where it goes downhill to be honest. The only good one here is the first one, I feel, but if I thought about it more, I'm sure I'd find better ideas for the other guys.

Rafayel's fairy tale story is quite obvious. It's "The Little Mermaid" but flipped. You would be Eric and Rafayel would be Ariel, however Eric would be the one wanting to be part of Ariel's world. You've seen him in the ocean multiple times from your beach house. Honestly, the first time you saw him, you thought he was drowning but then you saw the beautiful purple and blue tail fin that adorned his lower half. He was...a mermaid? Every day for a few weeks, you'd take some time out of your day just to watch him breach the surface and play around with the seagulls. He would sometimes sit atop driftwood and large boulders in the ocean. He was a sight to behold. And then, he began to take notice of you. Eventually, the two of you begin engaging in conversation- but not before he accuses you of wanting to fillet him like a fish. As the two of you grow close and he tells you stories about his home, Lemuria, you decide you want to be a part of his world. You find a traveling witch and she gives you an ultimatum. You can become a mermaid to live with Rafayel but you must give something up equal in return. Now, the tricky part is, I'm not sure what I want for Y/n to lose. I don't want it to be her voice, her eyesight, her emotions, so I'm thinking maybe she gains a heart condition so she can be with him but not for a long time. Though, this heart condition can be cured with an act of passion. An action that would tug on anyone's heart strings would be enough to snap the strings of Y/n's heart back into place. Also some mermaids are depicted with two penises so...Yeah!

Xavier's is yet another obvious one. I decided to go with "Sleeping Beauty" but I can always change it if I can find a better one. On the day the little prince was born, a warlock appeared and let out a cackle, "I shall curse the sole heir to Philo's throne. This kingdom has brought many sufferings to warlocks and witches alike and it shall be brought down by the prince himself!" The warlock, named Luminous (I came up with that on the spot but it's a parallel to Maleficent and Lumiere) also cursed the king and queen with infertility so they couldn't just have another child. And so, on Prince Xavier's 23rd birthday, Luminous reappeared and unsealed the curse upon the prince. Thorns erupted through the banquet hall, wrapping around the entire castle, and whomever was pricked by the thorns fell into a deep slumber. 50 years have passed since the kingdom of Philo fell into a deep slumber and you, a witch who was also childhood friends with the prince, decide to sneak into the castle and plunder it for any treasures it may hold. While searching, you prick your finger on a thorn and panic, thinking you will also succumb to the curse. However, you don't. This could be because you're a witch or because you're just the protagonist. Either way, this leads you to believe that you could wake Xavier up and this option would pave the way for more money in the future so it's your best opportunity for some quick wealth. As you head over to Xavier, pondering on how you could wake him up, you end up tripping over something on the floor and you land on top of him. Your lips crashing into his and you can taste your own blood. Congrats, you've awoken sleeping beauty! :D

Sylus's story...I'm torn between "Rapunzel" and "The Beauty and the Beast". He's got the Flynn Ryder aesthetic but also the Beast's at the same time so once I come up with a storyline, I'll probably make my decision.

Zayne's is also another hard decision. I could go for the obvious "Frozen" or perhaps Mulan. I'll explain my Frozen storyline though since that's all I've got. So Zayne is Elsa and you have the power of fire. (I haven't seen Frozen 2 but I think there's a girl who wields fire in it?) You don't know that you have this power and you were a princess who was just banished from your Kingdom, Philo, due to the false charge of trying to murder your step mother, the queen. You were banished from your warm kingdom to a desolate, snowy forest in the Kingdom of Linkon. And here, you stumble upon Zayne's ice castle that he created with his powers. Now, the story behind your false charges is, your step mother went from a mistress to a queen after your mother passed away and your step mother got rid of you because she wants her son, the king's non-bilogical, to be next in line for the throne instead of you. So, instead of fighting your way to go back home, you convince Zayne to allow you to stay in his castle until the snow storm outside subsides and you can leave. Soon, you learn of your fire powers and Zayne offers to aid you in learning how to use them. Also, Zayne's younger brother Greyson (He is Ana here) and his girlfriend Yvonne (She is Kristoff) are the rulers of Linkon because Zayne locked himself away in the castle in fear that his powers would hurt someone.

Here's where the ideas get less and less detailed. This was another mini-series taken from my old bts ones and honestly, I might not even write these but I thought it would be nice to add them here just in case.

Zayne would be an English professor with you as his teaching assistant. Even though you're an assistant, you also do some classwork to bide your time when you're not busy and even turn it in to Zayne to have him 'grade' it. This week's essay for a romance essay and you decided to write a steamy little romance essay for fun and submit it to Zayne after class. A week passes by and you're worried he either saw it and didn't care or he's going to mention it when you leave expect it- which he does the latter. He's intrigued at how knowledgeable and intimate the scenes are, and questions if you've done something like this before. You respond that you're a virgin and Zayne asks, "Would you like to feel how your essay would play out?"

For Rafayel, I'd do the obvious choice of an Art Professor with you as his teaching assistant (you're always the teaching assistance because Professor x student feels a bit icky to me, just the power dynamic and everything. I'm not too into writing it). Anyway, he needs you to be a model for a painting but never tells you just what kind of model.

Sylus's could be a physical education professor, I'm not sure if that's even a type of professor? (I didn't go to college so I wouldn't know) but I'm on the fence about this one. I could base it loosely off of his boxing 5 star card.

Xavier would be the Theatre/Drama professor and he needs you to be his supporting actress for rehearsals. Maybe you both are participating in a big play with the students and you need to practice your lines?

Because these ones are specifically so short, I'm not going to add a break in-between. It feels unnecessary but the next idea is superheroes. Honestly since I love Spiderman so much, I might make them all spiderman but for now...here's the ideas.

Xavier would be Lumiere (comparable to Spiderman), Rafayel would be spiderman (because I don't want to write aquaman-), Zayne could be winter soldier, and Sylus might fit as Iron Man. So in these stories, you'd be Iron man's secretary (so think Pepper), spiderman's best friend, lumiere's biggest fan and probably a reporter, and I'm drawing a blank on winter soldier.

The superhero one is honestly my weakest link when it comes to these one-shots but I really want to give it a shot.

Then, the actual one-shots that wouldn't be in series's would be all of their 5 star myth cards but reimagined. So I wouldn't write them word for word, just loosely base them on it.

The only example I have is for the Sea God myth.

So in this story, you're still an orphan being raised by the emissaries as a sacrifice for the Sea God but you have grandma Josephine, who was a clergy woman at the church you were confined to. She would tell you all kinds of stories about Lemuria and the people who lived under the deep sea. Then, on your 19th birthday, she passes away and shortly after, you were thrown into the sea as a sacrifice for the Sea God. I set the age at 18/19 just because Rafayel's coming of age ceremony to become the Sea God is within the 5 star myth cards and usually your coming of age ceremony (at least in ro-fan manhwas) is around the age of 16 to 19.

Annnnd that should be it! I really wanted to add my space/alien! Bts au since I really like it and will more than likely write it in the future, but this isn't a bts post so I don't want to write about them too much here but if you want to hear about it then I might make a separate post about it!

With that being said, I hope you enjoyed reading through my ideas for the future and have some that you're looking forward to! Other than that, my next post will be Chapters Six and Seven for "Twist of Fate" on late Friday or sometime Saturday! I don't have an exact time since I'll have to cross-post to both wattpad and AO3 but it'll be one of those two days. I'll possibly even post chapter eight as well, but I'm not too sure yet since I'm writing chapter twenty and I don't want to post too many chapters at once. I'll see y'all once more on friday/saturday! 🩷

A Suiting Discussion

Author: @angelqinladsfandomaccount

Imagine: An AU where MC is actually a Princess. In this AU, the guys come into her life roughly about the same time and for different(ish) reasons. This isn’t a story per say, but more like a collection of one shots/drabbles all taking place in this AU I have created in my head. I just wanted to share with the community for those interested! :) 

Pairing: All LADS men x F!Reader

Trigger warnings: arranged marriage, violence, mentions or rape/torture, mature themes (MDNI), mentions of weapons/wounds/blood

Word Count: 1839

The Princess’ Heart Collection (LADS AU)

I own no rights to the Love and Deepspace characters.  

Author’s Notes

Not everything mentioned in the AU will be cannon. Just something for me to write about/occupy my time with :) 

Not every part posted will be in chronological order. I’m just writing as I have inspiration for the AU

Some important notes about the Princess: she is an artist/can draw; she has dreams of her past/future lives with the LADS men; just like in LADS, the Princess is a little bit of a bad ass and takes no shit; and lastly…her evol in the AU is one I’ve made myself…I’m calling it a “chameleon evol” but she can replicate/mimic/use any evol she resonates with….

A gentle breeze lazily blew through the rose red hair of the Princess as she perched on the balcony. Shades of lavender and pink ombred into bright orange as the sun peeked over the horizon of the ocean in front of her. With her head leaning against the cool stone surface of the wall behind her, the Princess enjoyed the silence of the sunrise. Only during the brief moments of the sun rising did the woman find a slither of peace before she had to return to the chaotic life of a royal family member. Gone were the days of her youth where she’d goof off during lessons and run around without a care in the world.

A knock on the door of her bedchambers signaled the end of her moments of respite as the woman set her bare feet on the cold stone of the balcony before she walked back into the lavish bedchambers and shut the door to the balcony.

“Princess?” The voice of her chambermaid came from the other side of the door. “I’ve come to get you ready for the day. Are you awake?” The Princess resisted the urge to sigh as she settled into the stool in front of the vanity in the room.

“You may come in.” The woman replied as she grabbed the wooden comb to begin brushing her hair before the door quickly opened to reveal the young woman with her hair pulled back into a bun. After closing the door, the young woman with chestnut brown hair and emerald green eyes rushed over to the Princess and grabbed the comb.

“Today is an important day, Princess [Y/N].” The excitement in the chambermaid’s voice made the Princess roll her eyes. “The King has summoned you this morning for your discussion of potential suitors.” An eager smile was on the young lady’s lips as she ran the comb gingerly through the rose locks of the Princess’ hair.

“Suitors?” The Princess scoffed as her golden brown eyes rolled. “I am expecting to have a discussion about a lot of men who think they’ll win the lottery by marrying me.” The words leaving the Princess’ mouth were full of bitterness. “I am not a prize to be won nor am I an object to own.” The Princess' eyes fluttered down to the bandage that wrapped her tender shoulder and hid the wound she had received yesterday from the malicious suitor the Prime Minister had suggested for her. The chambermaid looked at the Princess with sad eyes through the mirror’s reflection before she cleared her throat.

“How shall we do your hair today, Your Highness?” The chambermaid asked with a slightly sad tone. The young Princess heavily sighed as she looked at the array of hairpins on the vanity’s surface.

“A braid will suffice for today.” The Princess heavily sighed as she let the chambermaid continue to prepare her for the day.

An hour later, the Princess was properly dressed in a two piece outfit that was white and light blue with red accenting jewels dangling from her waist, ears, and the front of her tube top she was wearing. The young woman held her breath as she studied her reflection in the full body mirror as her Phoenix tattoo on her left flank was proudly on display. The oranges, reds, and blues of the colorful bird complimented her appearance, but the tattoo itself held a much deeper meaning for the Princess than she would ever realize. Adjusting the small headband with a single dangling ruby, the Princess deemed herself ready for the events of the day. The chambermaid smiled at her handiwork as the Princess turned away from the mirror.

“Oh, I must also inform you, Princess—“ The young Princess walked to the door of her bedchambers and opened the doors, cutting off the rest of her chambermaid’s words as the Princess took notice of two strange men leaning against the wall on either side of the door to her bedchambers. A simple black face mask hid the lower half of both men’s faces, leaving only a pair of bored cosmic eyes and a pair of amused ruby colored eyes to look at her. Neither of the two men were dressed extravagantly as the man with cosmic eyes wore a simple black leather suit with a purple lined hood covering his head, and the man with ruby eyes wore a simple black and red dress shirt with a jacket draped casually over his broad shoulders. If it wasn’t for the dangling strand of the red gems and pendant bearing the crest of the Princess, the Princess would have assumed the two men were here to kidnap her.

“My brother hired new personal guards.” The Princess’ eyes darted between the two men, who didn’t speak as they nodded their heads, and earned a heavy sigh from the Princess. “Seems my brothers do care about my safety after all.” The young woman muttered under her breath as she rolled her eyes. The woman with the red hair looked up at the two men who easily towered over her small frame, and she felt odd as she studied the eyes of the two men.

Why did she feel like she knew the two men? She wondered to herself before she quickly shook her head and cleared her throat.

“The King is waiting.” She spoke as she turned her body to walk down the hall. “Let’s not keep him waiting.” The two men said nothing as they followed behind the Princess.

The throne room was brightly lit as the morning sun shone through large windows behind the throne, where King Camilus sat with his brother seated on the throne beside him. In front of the King stood the silver-haired Prince from Philos, who did his best to hide the fact that he was full of anxiety this morning. The three men awkwardly stared at each other before the opening of the throne room’s door drew their attention. Both the King and the Prince smiled underneath their masks at the sight of their beautiful sister confidently walking in the room, followed closely by her two new bodyguards.

“Good morning, Princess [Y/N]!” The King’s thunderous voice boomed joyously in the throne room as the Princess approached to stand next to the foreign Prince, who she had yet to acknowledge as she bowed respectfully to her older brother.

“Good morning, King Camilus.” She straightened her posture before turning slightly to bow to the Prince beside the King. “Good morning, Prince Lucius.” The Prince with the raven black hair bowed respectfully to the Princess.

“Dearest Twin Sister, how is your wound this morning?” Prince Lucius asked as he eyed the bandaged shoulder of his sister. The Princess straightened her posture before she answered.

“It is a bit tender this morning.” She earnestly replied. “But, I have received worse wounds fighting far more dangerous foes.” The mirth in the Princess’s words caused the Prince to roll his eyes as the King happily clapped his hands.

“Fantastic news.” The King joyfully said before he cleared his throat. “Now, we may discuss the topic of potential suitors for you.” The joy and mirth in the King’s voice left as he addressed the topic of the Princess’s summon this morning. “Another suitor has presented himself before the Prince and myself.” The Princess’s hands at her side slightly twitched in annoyance at the King’s words, but she remained quiet as she listened to her brother speak.

“Allow me to introduce you to Prince Xavier of Philos.” The King motioned to the silver-haired man standing patiently near the Princess, who bowed to the Princess as she turned to look at the newest man pinning for her hand in marriage. As Prince Xavier straightened up to meet the golden brown eyes of the Princess, she felt the breath hitch in her lungs as she recognized his face and flashbacks of her dreams danced in the forefront of her mind’s eye.

Laying next to a silver haired man dressed in academy clothes while the sun set in the distance. The young woman played with the star tassel on the end of the man’s sword, teasing him about the antiquity of the item. The man’s sky blue eyes watched the young woman with a softness as he smiled at the woman’s teasing.

Blinking her eyes to bring her back to reality, the Princess kept her expression stoic as she bowed respectfully to the silver-haired Prince before her. She knew that she did not know this man, but a deeper part of her soul was certain that she knew this man standing before her.

“I am surprised the King of Philos would send his only son into a foreign kingdom for marriage.” The Princess’s words sent a small crack to Xavier’s stoic expression. “Has your father not heard of the Princess’s temper?” Xavier watched the Princess as she cocked her head slightly to the side as a hidden mirth danced in her eyes. He swallowed dryly before he placed a small smile on his lips.

“My father has heard of your…temper.” He slowly spoke as he carefully thought about his next words. “However, I find that the rumors of the Princess’s temper may be ones forged by men who are unable to handle a woman’s independence.” A single eyebrow on the Princess raised itself at the Prince of Philos’ words as she let out a quiet scoff at the foreign Prince before she turned her attention to her older brother.

“I will agree to the terms and conditions we have set forth with the previous suitors.” The words from the Princess’s mouth made the Prince’s and the bodyguards’ eyebrows raise as the King nodded and happily clapped his hands.

“Good!” The King joyfully exclaimed. “I have a feeling that this suitor might be the one!” With his statement, the Princess rolled her eyes.

“You were this enthusiastic about the last one.” She said in a flat tone. “And you personally watched his head land at the feet of the Prime Minister yesterday.” The Princess glanced at the foreign Prince out of the corner of her eye, but his facial expression didn’t change at her revelation. Her oldest brother cleared his throat.

“Behave, Sister.” Prince Lucius said in a flat tone, but his voice gave away the slight amusement he had for the whole situation. “You never know if this suitor will be the one for you.” The Princess nodded her head before she bowed in respect to her brothers. As she straightened her posture, she turned to the foreign Prince.

“Shall I show you around the castle, Prince Xavier?” The foreign Prince gave the Princess a soft smile and a slight nod of his head.

“After you, Princess [Y/N].” He said as you turned on your heel and began to walk out the throne room. The man with sky blue eyes made eye contact with the two men in charge of guarding the young woman before he quickly followed behind the Princess.

☆ Rants & Rambles ☆

Hey guys! So I'm genuinely worrying that no one is going to like what I have planned with my story (I'm an overthinker–) so I wanted to do a few teensy, tiny polls to try and gauge a reaction!

So I already have a lot planned for this story (Twist of Fate) and I'm just worried that if people dislike it, that I'm already too far gone to rehash and rework it to fix it.

I didn't state it before since I completely forgot and wasn't aware that it was a big deal, but this story will eventually diverge from the natural canon of love and deepspace. I'm really worried that people are going to dislike that and are going to want the original lore, and not some dumb little story I come up with. I'm probably just heavily overthinking it, but it really has me worrying about it.

So;

Honestly, those options probably aren't enough, but I wanted to make sure they were worded correctly.

It's going to diverge from the canon, probably in a big way, but I felt like this was the only way I could give it a happy, and poly, ending. Because that's what I want. Sure, there will be some angst, but I just want everyone to be happy.

In the future, there will be more myth flashbacks, so I hope you're excited for those. They will stay true to the myths, so you won't have to worry there. I only change the dialogue in those when I feel like it could've been reworded to sound better.

Other than that, I've got a lot of ideas for the future and I've been struggling with the timeline, so I'll probably just wing it. It's a complicated, time-loopy timeline anyway so it's not going to matter if I change it up or swap which was the first myth in the timeline since nothing is confirmed in the first place.

The main thing that threw me for a loop is that Philos is canonically Earth, but in the future. I'm probably just a bit slow to the realization, but that really drove me nuts. But I'm trying to rework that into the story, since it is important and canon!

I wanted to include another poll, but it could just get confusing– though, I do wonder, do yall like it whenever people make their own lore for their stories or would you rather them using canon lore?

Because I have some of my own lore coming soon and, once again, I'm worried it's just going to crash and burn because it's too complicated or it's too "out there". In my eyes, it doesn't matter if it's not going to happen in the games. I just think it works, for me, and I like the idea of it. It seems fun, even if it'll never be canon. Since that's the fun in writing. You can just write whatever you want, even if it'll never happen in the original work.

But with all of that aside, I really do hope you all enjoy my writing. I look back and read other people's work and I'm like "damn, my writing is shit compared to this." I can't write fighting scenes, I'm bad at describing, I don't want to use the same word consecutively— but it can't be that bad if people are actively enjoying it, so I can't beat myself up too badly. After all, I've only just gotten back into writing and no one is ever good at something on their first attempt (unless they're like a prodigy or something).

That's all I was wondering! Sorry for my dumb little ramble, but I was just feeling a bit down and panicky. I feel a bit better after typing it all out though! Also, the banner up top is a slight sneak-peak for a future 'Twist of Fate' update! 🩷

Edit; the funniest part is I'm already thinking about the reader having children with the male leads 😭 (I want to be child free unless I have a surrogate, so I'm sorry if you all feel the same way!). Like I've already got an idea for the gender ratio from the four kids (I pray for your 🐱) and all I can say is, I love girl dads. I even have one name specifically chosen for Rafayel's and, while it's going to sound weird, I swear it works! Algie 🥺 (from his Sea God myth card). That's the only spoils I'll give for the future though! Just because I thought of that and it made me feel better about my story.

I'm just gonna write a silly, funky little story about existential crisis-ing, isekai, and love and it's going to be good whether I like it or not 😤

Edit pt 2; I changed my mind, I found an even better name than Algie + all of the children have names now! I can't believe I'm thinking this far ahead, to be honest. But I've decided that if new love interests are added, I will just make a separate story for them since this lore is complicated enough with four men, as is, and I can easily just write a separate story for the new guys– including the old ones as well!

Especially if Caleb is the one added– then I'd definitely have to write something separate for him

Fated Council Meeting

Author: @angelqinladsfandomaccount

Imagine: An AU where MC is actually a Princess. In this AU, the guys come into her life roughly about the same time and for different(ish) reasons. This isn’t a story per say, but more like a collection of one shots/drabbles all taking place in this AU I have created in my head. I just wanted to share with the community for those interested! :) 

Pairing: All LADS men x F!Reader

Trigger warnings: arranged marriage, violence, mentions or rape/torture, mature themes (MDNI), mentions of weapons/wounds/blood

Word Count: 2962

The Princess' Heart Collection (LADS AU)

I own no rights to the Love and Deepspace characters.  

Author’s Notes

Not everything mentioned in the AU will be cannon. Just something for me to write about/occupy my time with :) 

Not every part posted will be in chronological order. I’m just writing as I have inspiration for the AU

Some important notes about the Princess: she is an artist/can draw; she has dreams of her past/future lives with the LADS men; just like in LADS, the Princess is a little bit of a bad ass and takes no shit; and lastly…her evol in the AU is one I’ve made myself…I’m calling it a “chameleon evol” but she can replicate/mimic/use any evol she resonates with….

The man with white hair had red eyes that glimmered with mischief as he glanced at the man with blue and pink eyes and purple hair seated next to him on his right before he smirked at the silver haired man seated to the left of him. The three men happened to be seated next to each other as they listened to the mumbled conversations of the council gathering in the throne room of the King. Each of them had been invited here by the King for various reasons: Sylus had been invited to fill the vacant spot on the King’s council; Rafayel was invited by the King to be the Princess’ new personal guard; and Xavier was here under his father’s wishes for him to be the Princess’ suitor in marriage.

The King, a young man with golden blond hair and sea blue eyes, sat on the throne in the center of the dais at the far end of the room. A large bay of windows allowed those in the throne room to witness the dazzling waterfalls flow from the cliffs behind the castle to the endless ocean below. Seated next to the King was the King’s younger brother, Prince Lucius, who sat in stark contrast to the young King. The ink black hair of the young Prince made the emerald green of his eyes shine brightly as he looked at the gathered men in the room with boredom. A mask hiding most of the Prince’s and King’s face and the crowns upon their heads were the only similarities between the two royal family members and the only things declaring them part of the royal family. A middle-aged man with graying hair cleared his throat as he approached the center of the throne room and the mumbled conversations in the room ceased. 

“Good afternoon, gentlemen.” The older man spoke in a formal tone. “I am Prime Minister Simoni, and I am pleased to be addressing our beloved King Camillus and the council seated before me.” The man’s face held no emotion as he turned to look at the King seated on the throne. “The first order of business to address during this council meeting is the discussion of the appointment of the Princess’ most recent suitor--”

The doors to the throne room violently opening as a young woman with rose red hair tied back into a ponytail walked into the throne room as she dragged a limp body behind her. The rose gold mask on her face hid the lower half of her face, but her chocolate brown eyes stared straight at the King seated on the throne with defiance as the man she dragged by the collar groaned weakly. Every head in the room turned to look at the sudden interruption, and the three men’s eyes widened as they looked at the woman who came to stand a short distance away from the Prime Minister.

“You mean the rapist, sadist, and murderer you tried to set the Princess to marry?” The woman’s voice was even, but her tone slightly betrayed the anger that she felt as the man groaned as she threw him at the feet of the Prime Minister. The man coughed and gripped his left shoulder as blood stained the white shirt he was wearing.

All three men--Sylus, Rafayel, and Xavier--sucked in a breath as they stared at the woman who stood with her head held high before the King and the council. The Princess looked and sounded like her, and the hearts in the center of each of their chests began to quicken pace as they watched the scene before them unfold as the Princess threw a book she had been holding in her other hand at the stairs of the throne.

“Before you, my King, is evidence gathered from the manor of Lord Gaston. Within its pages you will find handwritten notes detailing the twisted fantasies of how the Lord plans to rape, torture, and eventually kill me.” The Prince rises from his seat and walks to pick up the book from the stairs before he takes his seat and opens the book to look over the pages.

“Nonsense!” An older man from the other side of the room shouts as he stands up. “Everyone knows that the Princess has been vocal in her disdain for finding a suitor!” His words convey every ounce of distrust he has for the Princess and her accusations against the man groaning on the floor in front of the Prime Minister. The masked woman’s eyes cut to the man who openly speaks against her as she audaciously meets his gaze.

“Lord Merton,” The Princess addresses the man who spoke. “I understand your distrust of me in these accusations.” Silence greeted the Princess as the men in the room awaited what the woman would say next. “Allow me to bring forth more evidence to the council.” The Princess turned her head to look at the King, who slightly nodded his head at the Princess’ request.

“You may enter.” The Princess turned to look at the open doors of the throne room before several shy servants quietly shuffled into the room. “Before you are all servants of Lord Gaston, who have all personally witnessed or endured the cruel acts of the man himself.” The Princess walked over to the servants, who refused to look up at the sea of men around them, before she gently took the hand of the nearest servant--a ginger man with pale green eyes.

The servant looked up at her before he thickly swallowed and lifted his shirt to reveal several nasty scars littering his abdomen and back to the members of the council. A heavy silence hung in the room as each servant began to reveal their similar scars or opening their mouths to reveal their severed tongue. The three men looked around at the faces of the men around them to see how they were all reacting to this piece of evidence. Some of the men around them turned to look at the man lying on the floor with disgust; some of the men looked at the Princess with a sorrowful look; a few of the men still looked skeptical of the evidence presented before them.

Upon seeing the skeptical looks of some of the men in the council, the ginger haired man gestured to the Princess to cover her eyes. The Princess covered her eyes before the ginger man boldly stepped in front of her and stripped his pants off to reveal his severed penis to the council men. Surprised gasps left the lips of the men with skeptical looks as the ginger man covered himself back up and tapped the Princess on her shoulder, who uncovered her eyes and looked apologetically at the man. The Prime Minister’s face looked pale as he looked down at the man at his feet.

“Lord Gaston is a wolf wearing sheep’s clothing.” The Princess’ finger pointed at the man laying on the ground, who looked at her like he wanted to strange her. “A monster such as himself deserves no place beside the Princess, nor does he deserve the sweet taste of freedom.”

Sylus couldn’t help the smirk on his lips as he watched the Princess stare coldly back at the man. If the Princess was her reincarnated in this lifetime, then she was just as feisty as her previous self.

Rafayel, the man with blue and pink eyes, watched the woman attentively as his ears picked up on the steady beating of the heart in her chest. The familiar burning sensation of the bond mark over his heart confirmed that she had reincarnated as the audacious Princess standing in the throne room before him.

Xavier, the silver haired man, felt his heart race slightly in his chest as he was almost certain that the Princess was the woman he loved reincarnated before him. Curious, he secretly peered over at the other two men seated beside him, and found them both to be intently watching the Princess. For some unknown reason, Xavier felt a twinge of jealousy flow through his veins at this observation before as he turned his attention back to the Princess.

The man on the ground wickedly smiled at the Princess before he slowly lifted himself up to his knees. In the blink of an eye, Lord Gaston drew the sword from the Prime Minister’s waist and threw it at the Princess. The Princess almost escaped the sword as it buried itself into her shoulder, and chaos erupted in the throne room as guards rushed in to subdue the man who dared to harm the Princess. With a guard on each side, Lord Gaston smirked as the Princess gripped the sword sticking out of her shoulder, and the teal of the Princess’ dress turned a darker shade of blue as blood mixed with the fibers. 

The three men sitting nearby felt their blood boil as several scarlet drops fell on the floor from the Princess’ shoulder, but the woman straightened up and looked at the man who threw the sword with defiant eyes.

“Attempting to murder the Princess,” Her voice was strong as she slowly stalked towards the man who attempted to take her life, and all eyes watched as the Princess wrapped her delicate fingers around the hilt of the sword then pulled it out of her shoulder. “Is a treasonous act punishable by death. Isn’t that right, My King?” Pointing the sword at the man on his knees before her, the Princess did not look up to the blonde man seated upon the throne.

“Indeed.” The King finally said as he deep voice reverberated off the walls of the throne room. “Having witnessed the attempt myself, I permit the Princess to enact justice on her behalf.” With a flick of her wrist, the room fell into an eerie silence as the head of Lord Gaston slid from his body and rolled across the floor before stopping at the feet of the Prime Minister, whose face was pale as the blood seemed to drain from his face at the sight. 

“Perhaps,” The Princess stepped towards the Prime Minister and held out his sword to him. “Prime Minister, you should leave the chosing of a suitor to the Princess since you are incapable of chosing someone decent.” The older man visibly swallowed at the Princess’ words as the Princess held a hand to the wound on her shoulder; blood had begun to drip a small path on the floor from the harsh pulling of the sword from her body. The blonde man sitting on the throne cleared his throat before another young man briskly walked into the room. The newcomer in the room wore a stern expression on his face as his hazel eyes narrowed at the sight of wound on the Princess.

“You are wounded, Sister.” The King spoke as his eyes softened at the young woman. “Let Doctor Zayne tend to your wounds, and we shall discuss the topic of suitors at another time.” The young woman looked up at her older brother before she looked at the man who approached her. His dark hair fell slightly over his eyebrows as he noticed the blood slowly dripping on the ground below the Princess. “Alright.” The Princess said as her eyebrows furrowed slightly at the scowl on the doctor’s face. “Suitor discussion may be discussed later as you wish, Your Majesty.” The woman bowed respectfully to the blonde man seated upon the throne. “I will take my leave now to tend to my wounds.” With her final words, the Princess turned and followed the doctor out of the throne room.

After the ordeal Sylus witnessed, he knew that he had to get closer to the Princess to find out if his hunch about the young lady was right. Looking around the room at the sea of men who looked astonished by the events that had transpired in the throne room today, Sylus knew that he could easily convince the King to let him join the council. However, Sylus had another idea brewing inside his head--perhaps he could convince the King to let him be a personal guard for the Princess?

“Everyone is dismissed. The council meeting is abjorned.” The King’s authoritative tone echoed off the stone walls of the chamber, and several men stood before quickly taking their leave. However, the three men stood but made no move to vacate the throne room. King Camilus took notice of the three men who remained in the throne room, and the young man tried to hide the annoyance on his face.

“You three remain in the throne room after the King has dismissed everyone.” The King’s tone showed how tiresome the ordeal with the Princess had been on him. “Approach and tell me what business it is you wish to address with the King.”

The three men temporarily looked at each other as if realizing for the first time that they all had seemingly come to the council meeting with a purpose, but what the other’s purpose was had yet to be revealed to the others. Xavier was the first to step away from where he had been seated and approach the King. Deeply bowing, the silver-haired man felt his heart remain calm in his chest as he straightened his posture to look the King in his sea blue eyes.

“Greetings, King Camilus.” Xavier’s voice sounded foreign as it echoed off the chamber’s walls. “I am Prince Xavier of Philos, and I have been sent by my father to request the Princess’ hand in marriage.” Xavier’s voice is quiet and steady as he speaks before he realizes as his final words are spoken that now may not be the time to bring up such a matter. “I had no knowledge of the previous suitor before arriving today, and I apologize if now is not a good time to bring up such an issue.” The man with the silver hair and blue eyes bowed again, this time apologetically, before he dared to look back up to the King. “I am willing to come again and discuss this matter further.” A heavy sigh from the King greeted Xavier’s words as the King rubbed the bridge of his nose.

“Indeed this is an inconvient time to bring forth such a discussion.” The King’s shoulders slumped slightly as he looked over the silver haired man in front of him. “Furthermore, this is a discussion best had in the presence of the Princess herself, so we will delay further discussion until she is well enough to take part in this.” Xavier nodded his head at the King’s words.

“As you wish, Your Majesty.” Xavier bowed respectfully to the King before he slowly turned and began to walk away as the man with purple hair approached the King then bowed.

“Greetings, Your Majesty,” Rafayel spoke in a somber tone as he straightened his posture. “King Camilus invited me here to become the personal guard of the Princess.” The sentence made Sylus’ eyebrow raise in curiosity as Xavier stopped in his tracks and turned around. “At first, I was going to refuse the summons and the offer; however, after seeing the Princess and what she went through today….” Rafayel dropped to one knee before the King and bowed his head as he placed his hand over his heart. “I accept the position and promise to protect the Princess with my life.”

One of the King’s eyebrows raised as the man kneeled before him, but the King said nothing as he nodded his head before he looked over to the man with white hair. The white haired man with ruby red eyes approached the King next as he respectfully bowed as he stood next to the man with purple hair.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.” Sylus’ deep voice smoothly carried itself through the room. “I was invited here to participate in your council and fill an empty seat. However, after today’s events, I would also like to offer my services to protect the Princess.” Following the example of Rafayel, Sylus dropped to one knee before the King and bowed his head while he placed a hand over his heart.

The King briefly exchanged a look with his younger brother before he stood up and approached the two men.

“Please rise.” The King gently said as he stood before the men. “From this moment forward, you two are the appointed personal guards of Princess [Y/N]. Protect her well, even if it means sacrificing yourself to ensure her safety.” Both of the men looked up at the King before they rose from their kneeling positions and bowed.

“As you wish, Your Majesty.” With an approving nod of the King’s head, the two men turned and walked out of the throne room before turning to face each other with distrustful eyes. Xavier followed quietly behind them as he awkwardly stood there to witness the tension building between the two other men as they stared at each other. The white haired man stuck his hand out to the man with the purple hair.

“Sylus.” He said as he smirked at the other man. “And you are?”

“Rafayel.” The man with the purple hair said with a bored tone as he shook hands with Sylus.

“Pleasure to meet you. Hopefully we can get along since we are both going to be protecting the Princess.” A signature smirk rested on the lips of the man with ruby eyes as the cosmic eyes of Rafayel narrowed slightly.

“I hope you’re not going to be a pain in my ass.” Rafayel said as he eyed the whited haired man suspiciously, who scoffed at the threatening tone from Rafayel.

“Likewise.” Sylus said with a smile.

Been thinking a lot about an AU where Enid was adopted by Weems. LOL I just love found family/adoption thropes in media.

She was like 7 years old when adopted. She was in adoption since beeing a bby she for sure doesnt remember her old family. And orphanage did not know how to properly take care of a werewolf child.

Also she is like her adoptive mum(Weems) always neat looking. No hair out of place (smthing she can bond with Wednesday on). The wolf teddy was given to her by Weems when she was adopted and was first day in her new home.

The name of the teddy is : Wolfgang (😏)

Okay, last thing I wanted to add is Enid bit off a piece of Wolfgang. (werewolf things)(She regretted it quickly tho)

U will be destroyed if u touch him with out asking.

Idk It was like 80 years in my mind and after all that time I decided to do smthing about it. Also what would the AU be called as I saw more found family thropes where Enid is "adopted" by Addams family.

linkon city, the hotspot for new and upcoming talent. the city is restless, many calling it “the city of dreams”. ambition and passion are what fuel the city, it’s vibrant culture making it alluring to many. you and your best friend tara are debuting in the most anticipated girl group of your generation, hunt:ress. with your manager caleb and your groupmates by your side, this journey should be smooth sailing…

right?

fans tend to pit boy groups and girl groups against each other— it did not take long before your group hunt:ress was dragged into that mess. specifically with a particular boy group— after a clip of the recently debuted group brushing past yours without a second glance at an award show went viral, the boy group eVOL was never far when hunt:ress was mentioned. hell even variety and award shows were humoring the spectacle by having the two groups up to announce awards or interviews. that’s where you met the group’s maknae, xavier.

when i tell you— y’all looked at each other like ONCE and the masses were making edits, making blogs and analysis videos, writing fanfiction, whole nine yards

but of course with the people who thought y’all were cute (despite never actually having a conversation with one another) came his fans who gave you unnecessary hate, they’re ruthless

with the way your group was pitted against eVOL, other fans just thought y’all had beef (think the alleged jeongyeon v. jimin beef type of level LMAOOOOO)

no but seriously eVOL fans conspired with hunt:ress fans about you and xavier being together so much that caleb had to give the company your phone to search through just to make sure

rumors get so bad that they put you on house arrest shortly after some rabid xavier biases run you out of a cafe (it made the news)

eVOL’s company reaches out to yours with a half hearted apology, however they won’t won’t release a public statement because “that would only feed into it” and hope that the situation blows over

unbeknownst to both companies— xavier finds a way to reach out to you through your old phone (that you hide because you didn’t want to give up your old life just to become an idol) and apologizes for his fans behavior

the two of you actually start to talk since you’re not exactly allowed to go out the dorms save for group outings and music/award shows, he’s been the first person you’ve been able to actually talk to, it was refreshing

you find out despite his baby face— he is not the maknae and is actually the oldest member but his company’s trying to keep that public perception of him (yeah they’re weeeeeird)

you start to confide in each other and talk about idol life but also just random things, he’s a comforting presence in a world where everyone’s eyes were on you

you sometimes text him all night coming to practice absolutely exhausted, tara’s the first one to suspect something is going on

tara actually runs one of y’all’s ship pages LMAOOOOO

when your group wins an award for best new music, he’s the first person who congratulates you (the footage is clipped and before the end of the night it’s viral)

one of the reasons why hunt:ress was so well received was because of their visuals. the girls were pretty, sure— but whoever their stylist was? they were working overtime. there is not a single ‘flop outfit’ compilation or blog about any of you girls. one of your group’s performance outfit goes viral however everyone can’t stop talking about how it captured your aura and stage presence perfectly, it went viral catching everyone’s attention— including someone interesting. your company had ties to a famous designer who rarely showed his face, seemed like he’d just design clothes and have them modeled and call it a day, did not bother to even go to fashion showcases where his work would be the main event. but then he saw a clip of you in his work go viral— he had to see it for himself. that’s when you met rafayel.

when you heard that the designer of all your performance outfits wanted to meet you specifically you were nervous, after all this had to be some respectable man

let’s just say you were a bit confused when you showed up to his studio that looked like a tornado had ran through it— everything was strewn around

in its wake? an attractive young man who was probably the last person you’d think would be the person responsible for your group’s outfits

he’s an audacious man, skipping all pleasantries to immediately ask about your measurements

he asks for your chest size first and you resist the urge to chuck a nearby thread spool at him

you start to interrogate him, there’s no way that he’s the decorated designer that’s well respected in the industry… right?

but despite his demeanor, you can’t argue with his skill when he pulls out a dress that immediately catches your eye— you’re itching to try it on

he snickers at your wide eyes and tells you to change into it (he makes a joke about how he wouldn’t mind dressing you himself and you give him the craziest look)

once you’re all dressed up you step away from the changing room, doing a little twirl as you showed off his work

he was in awe, videography did you no justice compared the real deal— he shamelessly asks you to drop your idol career to be his model, his muse

and just when you thought you couldn’t give this man any more crazy looks

you really couldn’t deny it though, it was almost as if his work was made for you— the dress complimented you deeply

but alas you had worked extremely hard to get to where you were now, no amounts of flattery would coax you out of it

no matter to him, he wasn’t one to give up so easily. in a sea of fish, you were quite the catch

eventually he convinces your company to “lend” you to him as his model— the company agrees because not only is the versatility of idols really important but also free promo lolz

he now starts to attend these fashion shows so he can bask in your presence showing off his work, people whisper about the man who manages to get the best seat every time wondering who he is

at the end of every show he’s waiting for you with a bouquet of flowers, you always accept them joking about how it was just another failed attempt at him trying to get you to be his permanent model

little did you know that that wasn’t the only thing he was gunning for

whenever the question “who’s the most hardworking?” would arise in group interviews, without a doubt your fellow members would answer your name. your trainee days were rough, strict diets, endless hours of practice, appointments with vocal coaches, promo— you took it all in stride with no complaints. nowadays as a debuted idol in a well performing group, you still couldn’t help but watch what you ate, practice until your muscle ached, finding every opportunity to better yourself. tara often tried to reassure you that you already were good enough and that it was alright to be gracious and lenient towards yourself. you appreciated her words but you were fine, it wasn’t nearly as bad as being a trainee. that mindset eventually landed you in trouble causing you to collapse at a pre rehearsal for a music show. fortunately with no footage, rumors of your company potentially mistreating you only had the questioned credibility from word of mouth. eventually coming to with an iv connected to your arm and caleb scolding you for never taking breaks, your company insists that your group does the next few music shows without you so you can rest. before you can protest, a doctor that’s introduced to be your primary care walks in. that’s when you’re reunited with zayne.

you’re still a bit groggy but you recognize those pensive green eyes anywhere

he tries to not cross the line of a patient doctor relationship but the minute caleb leaves he gives you an exasperated look

he makes a quip that despite all these years later you still are inadequate in taking care of yourself

you grew up in the same small town as him and went to school together, of course he left for medical school while you perused your dream— who knew that you’d reunite in the big city

despite being in for mild dehydration and being treated for it with the iv, he insists on doing a full exam which gets you nervous and rightfully so, he’s very thorough

and lo and behold— he unravels your secret that you’ve kept from your company, your chronic illness

when auditioning and being signed on as a trainee the medical records you had submitted were from a shoddy doctor who never ran any tests

you beg him not to rat you out, after all you had made it this far with not a single person suspecting a thing

he’s very adamant about letting your company know, he tries to reassure you that the more room for accommodation for you the better but you cut him off pleading

he didn’t know how ruthless the industry was— you’ve seen plenty of popular groups put members in indefinite and unfair hiatuses for something beyond their control, if it wasn’t your company than the general public would know you as the sickly idol

you had worked too hard for it to come crashing down like this and his cold eyes softened in realization

he let out a sigh before begrudgingly agreeing to keep your secret, reminding you that you had been lucky that he was employed by the hospital rather than your company who by under contract he’d have to tell

he also makes a condition, you would have to start taking care of yourself more— if you ever landed in a hospital bed with another iv in he wouldn’t hesitate to let your company know of your state

you thank him profusely, you had worked far too hard for this. he knows because this had been your dream since you were children

you offer him to lunch in the upcoming weeks as a means to catch up, he only agrees under the guise that he can keep an eye on your condition while making sure you actually eat
