Masterlist
“Have you ever had a friendship bracelet?”
The ridiculousness of that question echoed across the rocky walls surrounding their path as it wound through a small craig. It wasn’t the first absurd question that Amma had asked in their seemingly never-ending journey toward Faebarrow, but this one had to be one of the most egregious yet. 
Had Damien Maleficus Bloodthrone, Son of Zagadoth the Tempestuous, Ninth Lord of the Infernal Darkness and Abyssal Tyrant of the Sanguine Throne, ever had a friendship bracelet? 
The better question would be if he’d had any friends at all, to which the answer would be a resounding no. He was evil, evil beings did not have such childish things as friends. 
Damien didn’t justify it with an answer, instead, he released a heavy, long-suffering sigh and debated using the talisman’s power to get her to stop talking - it seemed he was debating this almost every minute he let her have free reign of her own speech. 
Kaz had scrambled off somewhere a half hour ago and had yet to come back, however, Damien could sense his presence skulking behind them. The imp had been keeping Amma busy chatting - though it had in truth been Amma chatting at him and Katz shooting back cruel names and annoyed looks. But even his loyal minion couldn’t withstand that brand of torture forever and had fled in a burst of rage, leaving Amma with a new target who was much less engageable than Kaz. 
Damien thoroughly debated - for what felt like the millionth time - leaving Amma behind just to avoid her inane questions. Yet he couldn’t leave the talisman unattended, could he? Hence his constant debate on ordering her to shut her mouth. He’d done worse to others for less heinous acts, surely this wasn’t unreasonable.
“I know you heard me, Damien, don’t pretend you’re too dark and broody for a friendship bracelet.” Damien could practically hear the eye roll in her voice and he stifled an irritated growl. “You were a kid at some point, right? Kids give each other friendship bracelets, half-demon or not. I bet you were just like all the other kids, playing with your toys and frolicking in the streets or whatever it is kids do in creepy cities - skulking through the streets?” Amma giggled, apparently, the image of a tiny Damien, pout on his face as he skipped around was too much for her to contain herself. 
“I am evil, Amma. Evil people do not frolic, no matter their age.” Damien shot her a withering look. But like a fool, he’d fallen for her bait, and he watched as a wide smirk pulled at her round cheeks. Not wanting to admit to having been beaten, he hissed, “Sanguinisui, do not talk until we reach our camp tonight.” Amma’s mouth snapped shut as her teeth clacked together. Knowing her - as he had unfortunately come to in their time travelling together - she’d been about to gloat and Damien had managed to catch her before she could, thank the hells. 
She narrowed her eyes at him, clearly irritated, which only succeeded in painting a smug grin across his lips. Gesturing to the surrounding forest, she put her hands to her throat and made a strangled sound, her tongue comically sticking out the side of her mouth. He supposed he couldn’t blame her after the last time they’d been attacked and she’d been unable to make a shout for help because of his orders. 
Somewhere behind them, Damien heard Kaz make a wretching sound. 
Damien rolled his eyes but conceded - he couldn’t risk losing the talisman. “Sanguinisui, you may only ignore that last order if you are in danger.”
Satisfied that she wasn’t at imminent risk, Damien turned away from her, clicking his heels against his ‘horse’ to spurn it on faster. The last thing he needed was to look back at where she sat, dejected and fuming. He didn’t want to feel any sort of pity for her, like how he’d feel pity for a weak little kitten caught out in the rain. He had other more important things on his mind, like getting his father out of the crystal, his main objective. He didn’t have the time to spare her any sympathy. 
The peace and quiet that had accompanied his order had been truly blissful for about thirty seconds before Kaz took it upon himself to sit behind Damien - now that Amma couldn’t speak to him - and glare at her, making rude gestures along with some snide remarks. Amma had then taken it upon herself to pull stones out of the bottom of her boots and chuck them as hard as she could at Kaz’s impudent face. Unfortunately for Damien, said face was right behind his back, and Amma’s aim was by no means her best ability. She ended up mostly pelting Damien with the pebbles. When one had the audacity to bounce off the back of his head, the scathing glare he shot her way had been enough to make her rethink her actions. Perhaps throwing stones at the man who was in charge of all your actions and would soon be killing you, wasn’t the wisest course of action, unless you were trying to speed up said killing and subsequent death. 
By the time they made camp, Damien was in an even fouler mood than he had been after seeing Xavier - which was saying something since that lecherous blood mage never failed to make his blood boil. Damien spat out his usual commands to Amma, told Kaz to guard her, and trekked off into the woods to find them some dinner. Surely hunting a creature would make him feel better.
Kaz took that as his opportunity to discipline Amma himself. “How dare you anger Master Bloodthrone, he does not have time for your petty grievances, you are his captive.” And for good measure, “Whore.”
Damien didn’t bother listening to Amma’s indignant response, he’d heard enough of their banter to know what she’d say, and he was sure it would only serve to piss him off further. 
By the time he returned to camp an hour later, a small hare in hand and much calmer after releasing his magic on some unsuspecting trees, he was feeling much more collected. 
Amma had her back to him, facing the small fire she’d built and was hopelessly trying to start by spinning a stick in between her hands on top of another slightly larger stick. 
“That won’t work,” Damien said in lieu of a greeting. 
Amma yelped - the sound much too high-pitched to be at all dignified - and spun around, having been so focused on her task that she hadn’t heard the crunch of dead leaves under his heavy boots when he’d walked up behind her. 
Damien smirked. Good, scaring unsuspecting innocent girls was something evil people did, evil like Damien. 
“You don’t have to startle me, you know, I was only trying to help.” Amma dropped her sticks, a light blush tinging her pale cheeks. 
Damien shrugged and with a wave of his hand, he’d quickly lit the fire. Magic was a wonderful thing. 
“Showoff,” Amma muttered under her breath, crossing her arms over her chest. Kaz cracked an eye open from where he was resting on a rock, satisfied that Amma looked dejected, he closed his eyes again. 
Amma turned away from the fire, picking at the long grass and small wildflowers that were bordering the little clearing they’d found. Damien paid her no mind and set to work preparing their dinner. By the time it was cooked and devoured by all participants, it was time for bed. 
Damien gave Amma her nightly commands, - sit, stay, play nice - and settled down to sleep, turning away from where she sat, staring off into the dark woods, fiddling with grass in her hands. If she didn’t want to sleep, that was on her, but she better not be cranky tomorrow. He didn’t know how he would cope with more irritation after today, he had his limits, and Amma being here was already pushing it. She’d already steered his evil plan off course. He now had to go all the way to Faebarrow to get the amulet out of her - so he didn’t have to kill her. It was out of pity of course, like that cat stuck in the rain, he wasn’t evil enough to push it under a carriage wheel, even if it would end its suffering. 
And if his dreams were filled with horrible images of a lost blonde cat, shivering in the rain, no one had to know but him. 
***
When Damien woke, the first thing he noticed was that Amma was not where he’d left her sulking by the fire. The second was that said sulker was no longer looking so miserable and had moved to hover over the small sleeping form of their resident imp. 
“Do I want to know what you’re doing?” Damien asked, rolling to his side and propping himself up on his elbow, swiping a hand down his face. It was much too early to be dealing with this, but the sooner he got whatever ridiculousness was going on out of the way, the better the rest of his day would be. 
Amma whirled around, eyes widened in surprise and hands clasped guiltily in front of her chest, pulling Damien’s eyes to the ample cleavage her shirt did very little to cover. He quickly looked back up to her face, pleased to see she showed no indication that she’d noticed his brief lapse of control of his gaze. 
“Have you finally smothered him in his sleep like he deserves?” 
Amma squawked indignantly. “Of course not!” 
Damien shrugged, sitting up and stretching his arms out from the little aches and pains he’d gained from their sleep on the hard, unforgiving ground. 
“That’s too bad.”
“Damien!” Amma hissed, her forehead pinched. “Don’t be so mean to him, look how cute he is when he’s sleeping.” 
Cute wouldn’t be how Damien would describe Kaz, his protruding lower jaw wide open, drooling onto the rock he’d made into a pillow, his spindly body spread out haphazardly. In a way, he looked almost dead, if it weren’t for the rise and fall of his chest. Damien could see how he could look peaceful, perhaps, but cute felt like a bit of a stretch. 
Damien had prepared another retort, unable to help himself, when a small band of green and white caught his gaze, pulling it toward the imp’s wrist. He rubbed his eyes to ensure he was seeing correctly, and when he blinked away the black spots, he saw that the small band was still there. It was made of thick grass interwoven with small white flowers into a delicate braid pattern and tied in a neat bow. 
Damien looked between the bracelet and Amma, his eyebrow raised. 
“I think it suits him,” Amma said, smiling down at the sleeping imp. “And I’m very good at making friendship bracelets.” 
Damien felt a headache coming on, he thought they’d left this conversation yesterday, “Imps don’t have friends.”
“They do now.”
Stubborn as ever, Amma refused to relent, and Damien no longer knew why he even bothered arguing about this. Kaz would wake up, tear off the offending item, and call her some rude names, to which she would insist he keep the bracelet and be unnecessarily kind to the hateful creature. 
And Damien had to pee, something he had no plans of putting off for a pointless argument. 
He stood up, brushing off his clothes as he popped the joints in his knees. She frowned, that was odd, there seemed to be an unfamiliar object moving on his wrist. Anger built in his chest before he laid eyes on the object. He already knew what it was. 
“We aren’t friends either,” Damien growled, eyes flashing as he looked at where Amma stood, a sly smile on her face. It was unnerving that she’d been able to get the bracelet on his wrist whilst he slept without him noticing, and he would have to add a new line to her commands about not touching him when he was unconscious. He would have noticed earlier, had this grass and flower bracelet not somehow been entirely black, blending in with his black sleeves. 
“I even covered it in ashes so it would match your moody aesthetic.” Amma flicked her fingers at him and he felt an indignant jolt run through his chest. He wasn’t moody, though arguing that point would not help his case.
And he would never in a thousand years admit that he couldn’t help but feel it was also strangely…. thoughtful, that she would take into account his preference of colour, or lack thereof. 
He grunted, unable to come up with a proper retort so early in the morning, he turned swiftly on his heels to march towards the forest. 
“I’m not keeping it,” he called, not bothering to face her as he lifted his arm up and yanked the bracelet off. The bow came apart, ripping slightly as it did. 
“No!” Amma’s disappointment was clear in her tone and Damien ignored the tug in his gut from some stupid emotion he didn’t bother putting a name to - likely pity, that was about all his evil heart was capable of in this situation - and he continued his journey to find some quiet and private place to pee. It shouldn’t have been as difficult a task as it had been.
“Fine, be a miserable loner then!” she yelled after him. 
“I’m evil, Amma, evil people don’t have friends, and they certainly don’t wear friendship bracelets,” Damien drawled, grinning to himself. “Right, Kaz?” He raised his voice so the imp could hear him. If he hadn’t been evil he would have felt bad about sicking Kaz on her, who at Damien’s call, realized what Amma had bestowed upon him, and was reacting just as he had expected. 
Damien chuckled, revenge felt good, these were the consequences of her actions. Including him throwing that damned bracelet away and never looking back. 
He twirled the bracelet between his fingers, the ash rubbing off as he did so. It was strange that she’d gone through so much effort to give him something she knew he wouldn’t like. The son of a Demon Lord wearing a friendship bracelet, how absolutely ludicrous. It would get him laughed out of Yvlcon, and he could only imagine what his father would say should he show up to free him from the crystal with an ash-covered, grass and flower braid around his wrist. 
He went to toss it into a bush, but at the last second, he hesitated. He couldn’t name what had stopped him, but the image of Amma, eyes wide and glistening with tears over all her hard work going to waste, of him rejecting the gift… it made him seethe quietly, but at the same time, he found himself unable to let go of the offending item. 
Resisting the urge to stomp childishly, he shoved the bracelet into his pocket. With any luck he’d forget about it and it would become crumpled beyond repair, and at last, he could part with it, if it didn’t turn to dust first. 
It would serve as a reminder that he didn’t need such things, that they weren’t for people like him. Bad people don’t deserve nice things. But if he kept it in his pocket, if he ruined such a nice gift, then maybe he could keep it, if only as a show of how evil he truly was, to hurt someone who had only tried to be kind.
He didn't have friends, nor would he ever, no matter how hard Amma tried, he was sure that he would be a ‘miserable loner’ for the rest of his life. It was his fate, no friendship bracelets would ever change that. 
Damien shook himself, he should really be more concerned that that thought upset him, but as he listened to the sounds of Kaz and Amma bickering, he couldn’t help but feel a warmth light somewhere within the deep, dark recesses of his heart. 
That damn girl and her damn kindness, surely it would be the death of him. He wasn’t sure what was worse, that his tombstone may read ‘Damien Maleficus Bloodthorne, Killed by Kindness” or that he wasn’t sure he would mind it, as long as it was Amma, with her bright smile and even brighter laugh, who did it.
A/N: I adore this series and it needs so much more hype!! Its literally the funniest and the cutest and had me giggling and kicking my feet???? Irl??? Wild.
Brb gonna go consume everything this author has ever written ✌️

considering that angus mcfife II is still only a prince despite his father being dead (and also the whole robot prince of auchtertool/mecha king situation, especially since we see Tooley become the mecha king in He Has Returned), maybe we can assume that the title of "prince" doesnt mean exactly the same thing in the context of gloryhammer.
maybe king and prince are synonymous, or maybe prince is just the word for any young royal no matter their rank, or, hell, maybe there's deeper traditions concerning coronations!

"If ever I have to break your neck, I promise to do it with a minimum of force." [ Arturia to Berserker Vort NERWIUFH ]
Tumblr media
Assorted media.
Tumblr media
"Aren't you quite conscientious, Red Dragon?"
The sharp, grating sound of a obsidian spearhead dragging across the asphalt ground fills the night air. The scrape leaving a single deep, jagged mark behind. The armor is as dark as the knight itself, tearing itself apart itself from the shadows as the King strides forward, a wickedly amused smile to a exposed split face.
"No, I think I'm more partial to you slashing it instead. Why change now, yes?"
Horned helm apparently abandoned to met face to face, most not the mantle. The unsightly, partch-work thing hangs heavy from cold pauldrons. Wings, pelts, hair, skin. The chosen King of the Fae tilts his head and grins like it was all just yesterday, like the battle had war had never ended.
"Alas, I'm afraid it is still too soon for that. Right now, I'm but a humble Servant serving a noble cause under a worthy Master." He shrugs as if in apology, and yet, his eyes glint with dark amusement even as he says so, his gauntlet too ready around the handle of the spear, "Don't you feel the same? I don't smell blood rusting your iron yet."

Winter is going to pick Darla up and carry her off!
Tumblr media
"Hu?!" Darla had been minding her own business, asking someone to twist the knife when they stabbed her again. When she was suddenly picked up. Her wound had already healed. She looks up at her true assailant and glared at him, instantly annoyed.
"Where are you taking me?" She snapped. He better give a good answer, or she is summoning her sword and cutting off his hands.

I'm sure Lilian has breeding kink LOL
Honestly... yeah, that's a big yes. Mainly because it's basically his job to make sure his bloodline continues and because just thinking about you and him being able to create a child together just gets him going. He wont stop with one too, he'd want at least 2, he doesn't want the firstborn to be lonely you know? Maybe even three, but then wouldn't it better to have an equal amount of children? But then again he heard that 4 is bad luck, so 5 is better, but then again--!
Please stop him before it gets to the point where you have to hire more nannies. As a bonus treat: Maleficus has a bigger breeding kink than Lilian does, it's basically ingrained in his dragon instincts. The difference between them is Lilian's breeding kink is developed while Maleficus' is instinctual.

[ FEAR ]: [ for alex from sebastian. just because he feels like being a little mean. dw he probably won't actually hurt her. probably.. ]
Pinned to a Wall // Accepting!
Tumblr media
『🔧』 Nobody could blame Alex for thinking she would be more prepared for being intimidated. The people she's loved and lost, the life she's survived through and left behind... all of it was characterised by overcoming fear, by triumphing over her own terror. In the hopeless void of loneliness, she took comfort in knowing someone who scared her as much as they scared everyone else; and in following their example, she used her own fear to break the vicious cycle of abuse.
She'd already paid the price for vanishing her fear. She never counted on it coming back. And yet, as though told in nightmares as a premonition, it returns all the same.
Tumblr media
Fear finds her again as a sharply-dressed butler with an ungodly shine in his eyes. Anyone would find comfort in the fine silk of his gloves, if the hand that it adorned hadn't pressed her by the shoulder against the wall. She feels her heart leap into her throat when the slam of the opposing hand at the other side of her head rings out, keeping her there. Condemning her to the gaze of this... what was he?
That damned smile, creeping up onto his face, must have hid a set of fangs. It was just as sure as the fact that those eyes, sizing her up even now, hid intentions laced only with malice. And yet, as she feels like nothing more than prey, like a victim... her own brain decides to throw her a curveball.
She squirms as their eyes meet, her body cold with terror, yet... she doesn't even want to bring herself to look away. One free hand comes up, not to push him away - only to adjust his slightly-askew cravat. Logic and survival instinct abandon her as quickly as her optimism fled at the sight of him - and that's perhaps the only reason why the first words out of her mouth are...
"... hi. Hi there, uhm... what's your-... am I supposed to be turned on by this?"
