everyone shut the fuck up and CONSIDER trans girl iida

she supposes she always knew unconsciously that there was something different about her but she never rlly put much thought into it until some ppl in the class come out as trans* (like aoyama’s genderfluid, tokoyami’s a demiboy, nd tsu and jirou are trans girls)

and as class rep, but also (and arguably more importantly) their friends, iida wants to make sure she can make them as comfortable as possible abt coming out so she does some research nd stuff. like she knew trans people existed and were valid nd such before but she wanted to get more than just the basic facts

and shes happy for her friends! shes glad they trusted their class enough to tell them, shes glad she can be there for them. but she also notices that she feels rlly...weird? and she keeps doing research just because.......its interesting. but she doesnt know why she finds it so interesting?? and she gets kinda insecure abt that

so she keeps diggin into it and reads posts that trans ppl have made abt their experiences and just classic shitposts nd all that. she thinks the community is great!! and also she finds some fresh wholesome memes to share w her friends so its all the better. right?

but eventually she finds a community of trans girls specifically and she just absolutely COMBS through that. reads every single post there that she can find. but coincidentally she also feels even more insecure now bc shes starting to unconsciously question her gender nd stuff and lets be real folks. an identity crisis is not fun

couple this with the fact that she doesnt experience the traditional dysphoria(tm) that other trans girls seem to universally share, iida gets rlly down abt it. nd it gets to the point she rlly raaaaags on herself for still lookin thro these posts nd stuff and still subtly questioning herself and shes just rlly unhappy at the time :[

nd she doesnt wanna like make tsu or jirou uncomfortable so she doesnt wanna ask them abt it but shes so confused nd frankly hurt and she doesnt know what going oooonnnn with herself

so shes just in this complete funk for a while nd it starts to affect her grades and performance in training. her friends know smths up but iida doesnt know how to even explain how shes feeling so its not necessarily that she doesnt WANT to go to her friends but she literally does not know how to. anyway eventually aizawa keeps her after class and is like “ok iida smths up im gonna call tensei if u dont talk to me”

iida feels absolute HORROR at the prospect of tensei somehow finding out abt this bc oh shit what if he doesnt want her carrying on the name of ingenium anymore??? what if he thinks shes a freak??? what if he thinks shes not really a girl and shes just faking it to be special?? what if- and oh shit thats the first time iida rlly consciously thought to herself “im a girl but what if others dont think i am?”

so she kinda bursts into tears and aizawa internally is like “oh jesus what the fuck” but externally hes like “iida?? r u ok?? was it something i said?? oh fuu- is something wrong with tensei??” and iida just kinda speaks thro her cries like “no nothings wrong with tensei something’s wrong with me” and ill be real folks its real sad girl hours for a bit

anyway iida doesnt rlly elaborate much beyond that bc shes so ashamed and embarrassed but aizawa is like “u’ve gotta talk to someone iida ur friends r worried and frankly i am as well” and iida eventually promises to talk to someone

soo she comes to terms that since she so confused it would be best to ask tsu and jirou abt it even if shes,,,,so v concerned,,,abt making them uncomfortable. but she manages to convince herself that she rlly does need some guidance here and better to ask ppl who know her than ask on the internet sooo

thankfully while iida is working up the courage to ask tsu and jirou to talk, she finds posts derailing terf and truscum shit so she feels. a lot lot better abt everything but particularly the lack of any intense dysphoria she had after reading stuff like that, esp the more verified(tm) articles from the more verified(tm) authors (like doctors and psychoneurologists and such)

so she figures out how she wants to word her questions nd asks tsu nd jirou to meet up. tsu nd jirou agree right away bc all of class 1-a is worried abt their class rep at this point :[ so theyre happy shes finally reaching out

iida is kinda a disaster when tryin to talk but she gets her point across. like “uhh this is a rlly bad way to ask but how did u guys know u were,,,trans?” nd tsu immediately catches on but jirou is only a lil suspicious until further into the conversation

anyway eventually jirou catches on the same as tsu and thats when tsu asks “iida do u think ur trans??”

nd iida is sooooooooo tired of feeling ashamed bc damn. she does think shes trans! she does. she shouldnt feel guilty for how she feels she cant help that. so after takin a moment to steel herself she says “yea” as confidently as one can in the situation

tsu nd jirou r immediately supportive nd ask iida for more details abt how shes feeling nd iida is just,,,so happy,, since shes already on an honesty streak that afternoon, shes able to roughly get her wack emotions into words nd tsu and jirou are like “yea thats valid ur valid iida. it doesnt matter if u dont have the trademark dysphoria or that u didnt know until later in life like ur still young. u say ur a girl, ur a girl” iida cries but only a bit bc damn months of agonizing over this. we stan one trans girl trio.........

anyway tsu and jirou ask her how she wants to move forward i.e. transitioning or telling anyone, and iida hadnt even considered transitioning before bc it felt so out of reach but shes absolutely ECSTATIC at the thought of bein able to look more feminine and it Shows. tsu and jirou r like “ok mood we were like that too right before startin estrogen”

so the first unofficial trans girl trio club meeting ends w tsu and jirou promising to help iida ask recovery girl abt hormones and iida sayin she doesnt want to come out just yet to the class/anyone else in general and tsu and jirou respectin that. i love them yall

anyway after a few months, iida is ready to try hormone treatment so tsu and jirou help her ask recovery girl for a meeting nd r moral support for her while they go thro the process of like figuring out what dosage she should start w/, how long should she take it, when a check up appointment should be, if recovery girl should tell iida’s parents yet or nah, all that stuff. anyway after that,  recovery girl gets her started on hormone treatment which iida is SUPER EXCITED abt and tsu and jirou tell her stories abt when they first started estrogen and AHHH I LOVE MY GIRLS SO MUCH FUCK

anyway eventually after some support from tsu and jirou via the unofficial trans girl club meetings and getting back on her feet confidence-wise, iida comes out to the class :,,,]]] theyre all super supportive and iida cries just a bit. tsu and jirou r so proud of her. aizawa is just glad his problem child #9 is feeling better

ashido and yaoyorozu get together and take iida shopping so she can have more feminine clothes which iida has a lot of fun w......shes never been necessarily big on shopping before (even if she is a part of the rich kid’s club lmao) but this trip is so EXCITING and ashido and momo r so happy for her and so ESCATIC to help her find some clothes and just oh my heart.......

the girls also have a sleepover during which they indoctrinate iida on all things traditionally feminine like makeup nd hair so that she knows the basics should she ever wanna mess arnd with that stuff. but also they just have fun doin normal things and just include iida in on being one of the gals nd iida is,,,so happy. tsu and jirou in particular r arnd her the whole night and wow my uwus they own them the unofficial trans girl club owns my uwus-

anyway so coming out and being accepted and transitioning is going so much better than iida thought it would be. she feels so safe and happy im crying.....anyway eventually some time later iida also gets permission to visit her family during a long weekend/short holiday w/e. nd while there she shakily but steadily comes out to her fam ofc her parents r so proud (her mom’s like ‘’ive always wanted a daughter yes!!! ily tenya’’) and tensei loves her all the same nd she cries a lil bit bc damn,,,,,,shes been fearing the exact opposite reaction for months

specifically she talks to tensei abt it for a little while and mentions her particular fears abt not being good enough to carry on the name “ingenium” nd he smiles at her nd is like “i would rather no one else but my little sister to carry on the name of ingenium” and bruh shes absolutely floored

nd yea. midoriya and uraraka absolutely love love love iida shes still their absolute fav. she joins the unofficial class 1-a trans* club as well as accidentally forms the unofficial class 1-a trans girl club. we love her,,,,

but yeah thats it. this post is so fucking long but oh well. stan iida!

WORD COUNT: 983

WARNINGS: its angstttt boi have u seen the titleee also innuendos and swearing, use of the word whore

NOTES: im slowly workin thru my requests and they will be open soooonn. also if i had to recommend a song for this it would be happier by bastille & marshmello aannghghg this is shorrttt

“Shut up, Michael!”

Sirius eyed the two of you from across the Great Hall, the two being Michael Woods, the most popular guy in the year, and you, who was laughing your head off. You, also Sirius’ girlfriend of six months. 

Remus nudged him, eyebrow raised. “Who pissed you off? You look like Snivellus.” Sirius gasped, shoving him. “How dare you, Moony?! I’ll have you know I actually wash.” Remus snorted. 

“Seriously though, mate, you alright? You look like you’re back in third year when you had your ‘broody Sirius’ phase.” Sirius rolled his eyes, grabbing a sausage off Remus’ plate. 

“Yeah, m’ fine. Just a bit tired.” Remus nodded, going back to his potatoes, as Sirius went back to staring over, frowning as he saw Michael hug you, before walking over. He smiled as you approached, pulling you onto his lap as you kissed his cheek. James rolled his eyes, retching. “Is that allowed? Is that allowed?” You grabbed a sausage and lobbed it at him, laughing when he caught it in his mouth. Sirius gasped. “Hey! That was my sausage!” James winked at him as he ate it, swallowing. “I’m sorry for eating your sausage, Siripoo. It’s just so tasty! Right, Y/N?”

“Oh piss off, James.” you said, leaning forward smirking. “Remember, we only talk about Siripoo’s sausage in private, Jamesy.” He nodded knowingly, whispering ‘later’ before becoming distracted as Lily sat next to him.

Sirius laughed. “You two are mental, you know?” You grinned, pecking his cheek. “We know.”

And that’s where it started to go wrong. Whenever Sirius saw you and Michael together, thoughts started running through his head- which wasn’t helped by the fact that some third-year asked him if you were still together. If he saw you by yourself, fear took over his mind: if he approached you, were you going to break up with him? He had heard people talking even before you and Sirius got together how ‘Y/N and Michael would be the cutest couple’. Thinking about it, he could picture you two together. You would be so much happier with him, wouldn’t you? No more late nights comforting Sirius over his fucking family issues, no more basically being his therapist, no more crying...

Sirius didn’t want to lose you, but he couldn’t keep being so selfish. And besides, it was basically happening anyways- he didn’t miss those longing glances. When was the last time he even saw you without Michael? Resentment swirled in him- sure, Sirius was a mess, but you could at least let him off easy, instead of going behind his back- who was he kidding. It was right in front of him. This wasn’t fair on him, or you. New determination sprung up in him, and he steeled himself for what was to come- what he had to do. For both of you.

For the next few days, Sirius tried to talk to you, but it was never the right moment. That Wednesday after classes, however, you approached him, a questioning look on your face.

“Hey Sirius, are you alright? I feel like we haven’t talked in ages.” you said, leaning into kiss him. He turned so your lips landed on his cheek, and you pulled back, shocked. “What’s wrong?” Sirius sighed, jaw clenched. “We need to talk. In private.” 

Your heart sank; that never meant well. You nodded, and followed him to the Gryffindor common room, heading up to his dorm. You sat down on his unmade bed, fisting the duvet. “What’s up?” 

Sirius laughed bitterly. “What’s up? I don’t know, why don’t you ask Michael.” 

You raised your eyebrows, looking at him in disbelief. “I’m sorry, what?”

Sirius smirked, his eyes cold. “I said, why don’t you ask Michael. I mean, you two seem to be awfully close, don’t you think?” Your mouth fell open in shock, before you composed yourself.

“Well, what do you think?” Sirius laughed again, pacing around the room. “What do I think, what do I think... let’s see.” He stopped. “I think you’re fucking him behind my back, and you’re too much of a coward to admit it. I think you’re a disgusting whore. Do you want me to continue?”

You gasped, indignation coursing through your veins. “How dare you?! Do you really think that low of me, that I’d do that? Is that what you think of me?!” 

Sirius stared challenging at you, silent. You scoffed, each harsh word another tear ready to fall. “Here’s what I think of you, Sirius Orion Black. I think you’re an insecure little boy who can’t accept that someone loves him. Well, congratulations! You pushed me away, when all I wanted was for you to let me in. I hope you’re happy, Sirius, I really do. God knows your parents will be, oh yes, they’ll be ecstatic that their son isn’t dating a fucking blood-traitor anymore. That’ll be a nice thing to tell them in the summer holidays, won’t it? Maybe you can stop being the family disappointment now.” 

You regretted the words as soon as you said them, Sirius’ piercing look of utter betrayal sending waves of self-loathing through you. Before you could take it back, Sirius swallowed and forced a grin, trying to mask the pain. “We can only hope. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to go tell Marlene that I’m finally single. Goodbye, L/N.” Your previous guilt was overwhelmed by hurt, sharpening your words. “Never talk to me again.”

“My pleasure.” Sirius spat, before turning and storming out, leaving you staring at the door, before sobs overtook you. You crumpled, clutching Sirius’ duvet to you, tears wracking your body. Finally, you fell asleep, your aching eyes closing. That was how Remus had found you, and he pulled a blanket over you, moving you to his bed and placing a bar of chocolate beside you. Maybe some things just weren’t meant to be.

heres another dnd vignette bc im obsessed my oc and also @klaarg‘s ocs so here we go!

“I want to leave.”

“We can’t yet, sire.”

“We can leave whenever I want. No one will care.”

“Your parents will care.”

“Who gives a damn about them?”

“You do, sire. At least a little.”

“What makes you say that?”

“If you didn’t give a damn you wouldn’t have come at all.”

“... damn you.”

“What makes you say that?”

“I hate it when you’re right.”

“Only when I’m right?”

“Yes.”

“Then I’ll gladly die wrong and happy.”

“Sap.”

Grigory grinned at Telron as he took another drink from his glass. Alwin Faeric’s joining ceremony had been nearly indistinguishable from any other joining ceremony Grigory had attended. Teodora had performed the rites and made amazing work of it, as per usual, the ceremony had gone off without a hitch, the wedding party looked stunning, the food at the feast was delicious, nothing out of the ordinary. Telron’s complaints throughout the feast (and some during the ceremony itself) were not too out of character either, only this time Grigory could actually sympathize with the other. The next wedding in the family was likely to be Telron’s, a fact he was less than ecstatic about, but this fact hurt Grigory as well. He knew that his relationship with the man wouldn’t particularly change: he and his new wife would move into a new grandiose manner and need only make appearances at noble meetings and get togethers but otherwise not see each other. Grigory would still be able to spend as much time with him as he wanted- Telron’s marital status would not change Grigory’s employment status- and more than likely he would be able to sleep primarily in Telron’s chambers as opposed to the servants quarters, but it was… the essence of it all. The fact that their relationship would go from being frowned upon to taboo. Though affairs weren’t uncommon nor appreciated in the noble realm, Telron’s would have begun even before he was married. For these and a variety of other reasons, Telron wasn’t ready to be married.

Grigory wasn’t ready for him to be married either.

“I’ll be back,” Telron said, interrupting Grigory’s train of thought as he stood up from his seat. “I’m going to freshen up.”

“Shall I accompany you?” Grigory asked with a wink and a smile. Telron laughed softly. “No, not right now. Enjoy yourself. You’re hardly ever at these sort of things by choice.”

“I’ll try my best.”

Telron handed his glass off to Grigory and gently squeezed his shoulder before walking off toward the doors of the great hall. Grigory sighed softly and took a drink from the glass, glancing about the hall. Many of the guests had left their seats in favor of dancing to the band, having started up a traditional group dance Grigory had practiced with Telron before the wedding season has started. Many of them had drinks in hand as they danced, splashes of wine and ale flying from goblets and hitting the ground. Grigory leaned up against a pillar, chuckling softly as some guests bumped into each other awkwardly, or slipped and fell to the ground with a boisterous laugh.

“Oi, you there!”

Grigory looked up, quickly assuming a stance of professionalism as a drunk nobleman addressed him. The elf- a fairly short and heavy set man with hair pulled back into a decorative knot and a waxed and curled mustache- stumbled close, tugging a woman over by the arm. As he grew closer, Grigory recognized the woman to be the priestess Teodora, who was smiling awkwardly. She had changed out of her official joining garb and freed her hair from beneath the veil she traditionally wore, but still had some pieces pulled back and secured away from her face. “This pretty thing was all by herself,” the man said a bit too loudly. “And said that she wasn’t dancing because she didn’t know how.”

“Sir,” Teodora tried to interrupt. “Really, this is quite unnecessary-”

“Nonsense, girl!” The man shouted with a laugh. “I’m sure the servant of Lord Virthanas could teach you a thing or two about dancing.” The man leaned closer to Grigory and dropped his voice to what his drunken self probably believed to be a whisper. “She hasn’t been drinking, either, you know. Claims it’s because of her religion.” Teo looked up and made eye contact with Grigory with a slight shake of her head and a roll of her eyes. Grigory had to keep himself from laughing. “

Come on, boy!” The man released Teo’s arm and grabbed Grigory’s wrist, forcing their hands together before pulling the both of them back toward the crowd. As he released them, the man snatched a goblet from a nearby servant and pushed into Teo’s hands. “Drink! Dance! Be merry!” He shouted in Elvish before blending back in with the crowd again, leaving Grigory and Teo by themselves amidst the sea of drunken party guests. Grigory sighed softly buts miled nonetheless. “Come on,” he said to Teo, offering her his arm. “The dance is easy. You’ll catch on quick.”

“I appreciate the offer, but I really-”

“If we dance for a moment, then we can get out of here and won’t be bothered again.”

Teo hesitated, then quickly hooked her arm around Grigory’s with a nod. Grigory smiled and took a drink from his glass before slowly falling into step with the crowd and quietly instructing Teo on what each step was. She did catch on quickly, and by the second round of dance seemed to have the steps down fairly well, taking hesitant sips from the glass she had been handed.

“I always see you around after the ceremony,” Grigory said, attempting to make conversation as they danced reluctantly. “But you could leave after the joining if you wanted to, right?”

“Yes, I’m not required to stay after I’ve done my part,” Teo said as she and Grigory pressed palms together and swapped places with a twirl. “But I enjoy being around people. Even… this kind of crowd.”

“Can’t imagine why,” Grigory said with a laugh, taking a drink. “No wine, either?”

“I’m not… bound by my texts to abstain from libations, no,” Teo explained. “I just… prefer not to.”

The two of them planted their feet and turned towards each other, reaching out and gently alternating between touching the sides of wrists and the backs of hands. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you actually partaking in the festivities, either,” Teo said.

“It’s not really in my code of conduct to celebrate,” Grigory said with a shrug.

“It is in your lord’s.”

“I wouldn’t call that celebration.”

“What would you call it?”

“Coping.”

This got a genuine laugh out of the woman and she shook her head, taking another tentative sip. “I don’t understand how he can be so… disenchanted with this life,” Teo admitted. “Maybe it’s something to do with living it for one’s whole life. I just know I would’ve done anything to be in this kind of life than the sort I grew up in.”

“It really isn’t all it’s cracked up to be,” Grigory said, taking Teo’s hands and turning her around in a circle. “At least from what he tells me.” He released her then stepped back up to her side, allowing her to hook her arm around his again. “Lots of paperwork. Stuffy meetings with stuffy people.”

“You do a lot of that for him, though, right?” Teo asked. “I feel like the things that I’m told to attend he’s either unresponsive or not there at all and you’re in his place.”

“Well, I suppose technically, I’m not supposed to do as much work as I do,” Grigory said with a bashful laugh. “But I don’t mind it. I enjoy helping.”

“Even that much?”

Grigory smiled to himself. “Yes,” he responded. “Even that much.”

Teo looked over at him with what seemed to be a knowing look, which for a moment made Grigory nervous, but after thinking about it for another moment he for some reason felt no reason to be afraid. In fact, he smiled.

As Teo took the last few drinks of her glass, Grigory noticed a slight shift in her behavior- specifically in that she had been reluctant to dance at first and now had taken his place as the lead. He didn’t mind, but also couldn’t help but laugh. “I told you it was easy.”

“You’ve probably practiced it,” Teo said, laughing in return. “I feel like I’ve been messing up the entire time.”

“Not at all,” Grigory grinned. “You’re doing great.”

They continued the dance, and somehow both of them had finished their glasses and they had refilled almost instantaneously. “I feel like this is the longest conversation we’ve ever had, Grigory,” Teo said after a bit.

“We never really get the chance to chat, Teodora.”

Teo scoffed. “You can just call me Teo,” she said. “Teodora is for formal occasions, really. Or when I was in trouble and my mother was mad at me.”

Grigory laughed again, taking a drink. “You? In trouble? I find that hard to believe.”

“You’d be surprised!” Teo said, mirroring the action. “I was a little spitfire before I started worshipping regularly. I feel bad for my mother, really. She didn’t deserve to deal with a lot of the things I did.”

“If I ever acted up, I was just told to clean or something like that,” Grigory said. “Maybe that’s how I ended up a servant.”

“You got in trouble that often?”

“You’d be surprised.”

The dance went on. The drinks were replenished. Their conversation continued. A few times Grigory questioned in his head how Telron could dislike this person so much. Was it just a matter of difference in personality? Did Teo somehow wrong Telron in some way? He’d have to ask about that.

After another few minutes and Grigory had spun Teo out in a dramatic twirl, he felt a pair of hands rest onto his shoulders. “Mind if I cut in?” Grigory turned quickly to see Telron smiling down at him, a faint darkness spread across his cheeks no doubt from the wine. Grigory smiled before laughing as Teo tumbled into his back. “Careful, now,” he said, helping, the woman back up to her feet. Telron scoffed, summoning a servant over with a wave and plucking a cup of wine from their platter. “Thought you didn’t drink, priestess,” he said, looping an arm loosely about Grigory’s waist- a gesture which brought a blush to Grigory’s face. Teo’s smile immediately fell into a scowl as she folded her arms over his chest. “Please,” she sneered. “Compared to you-” She hiccuped slightly. “I’m dry as the desert.”

Telron laughed again. “I’m sure you are. Oath of celibacy and all that.”

Teo gasped in horror; Grigory turned toward Telron and placed a hand on his chest. “Come now, that’s not necessary-”

“It’s a joke, Grigory,” Telron said, gently pushing him away before stepping closer to Teo and holding his cup out to her. “Drink up, priestess. Maybe you’ll realize it’s a joke after a few more.”

“Sire-”

But to the surprise of both Grigory, Telron, and to some extent, probably Teo as well, Teo did snatch the drink from Telron’s hand, spilling what looked to be a majority of it, and downing the rest of it in one go. “Now leave me alone.” She muttered, throwing the cup to Telron’s feet and stomping away.

As she disappeared in the crowd, Grigory looked up at Telron with a look of slight disappointment to his face. But Telron seemed unfazed. “Did you see that?” He said, hardly attempting to suppress a laugh. “I didn’t think she’d actually do it.”

“You know, we were having a nice chat, actually,” Grigory said, pocketing his hands. “She’s quite nice.”

“Grigory, please,” Telron said with a roll of his eyes. “She puts on that front of being all… spiritual and loving and peaceful and all that, but deep down she’s… not that.”

“Well spoken, sire.”

“Shut up.”

“You should apologize.”

“Why? She’s never apologized to me.”

“Not true- that tiefling woman conspired to send that dog from that tavern up to your quarters while you slept, which she originally went along with then apologized later even though the dog never actually went upstairs.”

“She still conspired to do it! I’m not apologizing for telling a joke.”

Grigory, simply stood with his arms crossed, looking up at him with a knowing look on his face. Telron ignored for a moment, pursing his lips and stubbornly looking away, before groaning loudly in complaint and grabbing him by the sleeve to drag behind him. “Where did she go?”

The pair eventually found the girl in question out on the covered balcony surrounded by several small contained fires to keep the winter cold at bay. She was leaning up against the railing, looking out over the mountainsides and the snowy valleys. Her shoulders were curled inward and it looked like her hair was falling into disarray around her face. Telron looked over at Grigory who nodded in her direction; Telron hesitated, seeming to make a move to step forward but then quickly stepping back. Grigory rolled his eyes, then loudly cleared his throat to get Teo’s attention. She turned quickly, stumbled slightly, then immediately frowned. “I thought I told you to leave me be,” she said, placing her hands on her hips. “Or are you just that poor of a listener?”

Telron scoffed. “Well, if you’re going to act like that,” and as he made a move to turn and go back inside, Grigory grabbed him by the arms and turned him back toward Teo, then pushed him further out onto the balcony, while still leaving ample distance between the two of them with a soft and motherly, “Ah, ah, ah.”

Telron’s shoulders slumped and he sighed before crossing his own arms and pointedly not making eye contact with Teo. “I just wanted to… say sorry for what I said,” he murmured.

Teo cupped a hand around her ear and leaned in his direction. “Sorry? Didn’t quite catch that.”

Telron groaned then finally looked her in the eye. “I’m sorry that I was rude and hurt your feelings. Did you manage to hear it that time?”

Teo crossed her arms, wrinkling her nose and looking him up and down.

“You know what?”

Grigory straightened his back- the anger dripping in Teo’s tone was unsettling. Telron didn’t seem fazed, though, so maybe there was nothing to worry about.

“You are so… insufferable,” she went on. “I don’t understand how anyone can stand to be around you for more than five minutes let alone invite you to their wedding.”

“Well, I’m family so-”

“If you interrupt me one more time I’ll throw you directly off this balcony. Is that clear?”

Telron arched an eyebrow. “Crystal.”

Teo took a deep breath. “You’re insufferable. You’re lewd. You’re unnecessarily cruel. You’re pompous. You care about nothing but yourself. And the worst of it is no one tells you any of this because you’ll just explode on them and not allow them to get anymore words out. The only person I’ve seen spend more than five minutes with you is Grigory and I’m almost positive he’s contractually obligated to spend time with you.”

“Don’t- don’t rope me into this-” Grigory sheepishly interjected, then immediately shut his mouth tight as Teo pointedly looked at him around Telron.

“I don’t know who you think you are, or why you assume you’re better than anyone you meet, but I do know that you definitely have secrets that certainly would crush you should they be leaked.”

At this, both Telron and Grigory felt chills run down their spines.

“For one, you’re obviously having an affair with your servant. You might think you’re being illusion and secretive, but trust me- it’s obvious.”

Telron scoffed. “Please, you’re delirious-”

At this, Teo shot out a hand, eyes glowing slightly and veins of white etching into her face as a strong gust of wind rushed forth from her palm and into Telron, which sent him flying backwards. Had Grigory not been standing at close range, he would’ve fallen to the ground, but Grigory quickly hooked his arms beneath Telron’s and braced his fall. “I said don’t interrupt.” Teo said in a eerily distorted yet frighteningly even voice. It was now that Telron finally looked up in unbridled shock at the women and was deadly silent. The light faded from Teo’s face and eyes and she threw her hand back down to her side. “I also know for a fact that some of the magic you know comes from a dark, dark place, Lord Virthanas,” she said in a terrifyingly serious tone. “I don’t know what place exactly, but I know it’s one where no man should ever tread.”

Grigory could feel Telron trembling slightly in his arms.

Teo began to march closer to the pair of them, fiery rage in her eyes, and she twisted her fist into the front of Telron’s robes, yanking him out of Grigory’s arms and up to his feet with a surprisingly little amount of effort. “I know that should my intel fall into the wrong hands you would be ruined. So I suggest that you-”

She paused.

“I… suggest that you-“

She paused again, holding a hand to her chest. “Y-you…”

And she turned slightly, then proceeded to empty the contents of her stomach onto the stone floor of the balcony, dangerously close to Telron’s boots.

“Gods above, woman, how much did you drink?” Telron shouted exasperated, jumping back to avoid being hit with any bodily fluids.

“I think she had four and a half cups, sire,” Grigory murmured as he quickly slid over in between the two of them, carefully avoiding the mess on the ground. Teo was babbling now, her sentences stringing together into jumbled incoherent messes. Grigory slid an arm around her, allowing her to use him as a support. Grigory looked up at a very shocked and disgusted Telron and rolled his eyes. “Sire, I could use some assistance.”

“You’ve got to be joking.”

“Does it sound like I am?”

Telron sighed then stepped over to support Teo as well, but as he moved closer she pressed into Grigory’s side and slurred out a, “You keep away from me,” before sighing heavily and closing her eyes. Telron motioned to walk away but Grigory shot him a very pointed look, which made Telron wind an arm around Teo anyway. They quickly and quietly led her off the balcony and away from the crowd of people, off toward the exit to the great hall, and up toward the guest sleeping chambers.

Upon reaching Teo’s quarters, Telron and Grigory were met by a servant of the Faeric household, a tall and thin elf woman with mousy hair and ears that drooped slightly. “Good evening, priestess,” she said with a pleasant smile as the three of them walked in. “I assure you- goodness!”

“She may have enjoyed herself a bit too much,” Grigory said with an awkward laugh as the two led her over to the bed. The servant made quick work of unlacing her shoes even as she fell back into the plush pillows and soft blankets. “Telron,” she muffled, voice softened from her face being mostly pressed into the pillows. “Please… forgive me for my behavior. This is… not like me at all. I don’t know what came over me.”

“Forgive you?” Telron asked incredulously. “I have half a mind to-“ He choked on the next word as Grigory elbowed him in the side. Telron looked over at him rubbing his ribs and shaking his head as he turned back to the woman in the bed. “I suppose you aren’t in your right mind right now. I suppose you’re… forgiven.”

Teo hummed, sitting up slightly as the servant carefully unlaced her vest and pulled it from her shoulders. “I still don’t trust you, though.”

Telron rolled his eyes. “Whatever helps you sleep at night.” He turned to Grigory, tossing his head toward the door. Grigory nodded, patting him on the arm. They thanked- or rather, Gregory thanked- the servant, bid both of them good night, then headed back to Telron’s chambers.

“I’m proud of you, you know,” he said as he helped Telron remove his formal attire and get into his sleepwear.

Telron snorted. “For what? Trying to apologize to a drunk madwoman and nearly getting vomit on my very expensive boots?”

Grigory couldn’t help but laugh softly. “You didn’t get angry in return,” he explained. “You easily could have.”

“I could’ve easily thrown her off the balcony or made a fool of her.”

“Or both.”

“Yes,” Telron laughed. “Or both.”

Grigory smiled, smoothing out the creases of his sleep clothes before Telron turned to face him, resting his hands on his hips. “I suppose I have you to thank, as well.”

“What for?”

Telron sighed softly, pursing his lips as he thought. “Had you not been there I wouldn’t have even gone to find her and she would’ve gotten sick all by herself in the cold.”

“So you do care about her wellbeing!”

“You heard nothing.”

“My lips are sealed.”

Telron hummed slightly, lifting a hand to trace Grigory’s lower lip with his thumb. “That they are.”

Who is your favorite OC? Pls share their backstory I must know👀

to be honest it’s totally Devon. I’ve had him sinceee about the 6th grade, and he’s been concrete since about 7th grade (I’m almost a junior!). He’s so important to me :’). Whenever I feel sad I just work on him or write about him and it cheers me up real fast. 

haha his backstory is a loooong, complicated mess. I literally went on an 1.5-2 hour rant about his backstory at a sleepover once, it was ridiculous how long it took for me to talk about him. I actually wrote a response for this ask yesterday, but it got deleted I hate my life. It was soooo long because I wrote it in the way I speak. You’re probably getting a lot more than you bargained for :’). I’ll put it below the cut so everyone else doesn’t suffer. 

im gonna use bullet points bc i like them and theyre shorter

note: universe is like. sci-fi. there’s space stuff you know

full name: Devon Mateo Westmore

born: August 16th 

a leo!!! do with that what you will

as far as parents go, they’re kinda dicks basically

Devon was a complete accident and he’s kind of treated as such

they’re pretty neglectful?? they really dont give a crap abt him frankly

they’re more interested in making bank with their jobs and turning up

has a sister who’s like graduating or smthn. she’s old. her name’s Lucía. 

she also could give less than a crap about him and had a similar experience with their parents; just wants to be free and have no attachment to this rando baby 

is a total Problem Child™ during school because of his messy life, just wants attention and love really but never really gets it

universally hated by teachers all his life

high school is especially rough he is a disaster

he’s basically like party all day every day bitches bc is parents are never home/probably wouldnt reprimand him for going out anyways

he drinks a lot, does drugs 

he bangs a lot of people irresponsibly. A LOT of people.

is a player tbh he will flirt with anyone. very pansexual. 

makes a lot of (bad) friends 2 fill the Void™ and does a lot of illegal things

anyway fast forward to when he’s like 17-18 and school’s like yep time to graduate!! and hes basically like

but he does graduate in order for the story to move forward

but now he’s like careers????????

all he’s kind of enjoyed is music throughout high school but he’s like thats not what i want to do. 

yolo, he probably says to himself one day. I’ll just join the military and become a space pilot because thats what I wanted to do when i was 8

so BASICALLY i haven’t figured out how I want this space military to work but he ends up in like an academy (he’s like around 19ish) or smthn 

this is where he starts to like chill tf out tbh

he discovers that he likes this a lot?? and he’s like dedicated to it???

a lot of like. coping happens and he has to figure out what kind of person he wants to be and recover™ himself

but yah he does well and he ends up being valedictorian nice going m8 

basically if you’re #1 in your class you get the opportunity to go to this like. school/training thingy. and it’s very exclusive but if you like graduate from their you’re like. set 

its like harvard except you could die there 

yolo, he thinks in yet another life decision he really shouldn’t be taking lightly. I want $$$$ so i’m about to make that place my bitch

he does not make that place his bitch

he suffers so much

by the end of the year/2 years he’s there, he does pretty well

He makes a bunch of good friends, and he gets a ton of experience. he’s really good because of it, as to be expected

while there the top of the class is this girl and her name is Adella

shes my daughter

Devon likes her but she’s like super stand-offish and he’s a party kid so he’s like

“hard pass.”

but he has like mad respect and he thinks she’s chill

the feelings mutual

anyways like RIGHT before they graduate she gets recruited to this special program because she’s top of the class and like disappears he never sees her again

sike

but not for a while at least……………

so like fast forward he’s like 23 maybe

he’s got a good job, he’s living it up really?? he’s just like pretty happy all around he has a life, an apartment, friends

he gets an email from this girl and she’s like yo

I’m Tamara, my mother passed away recently but I discovered that our parents are apparently siblings?? I never knew I had a cousin, I heard you live in the area and I was just wondering if you wanted to get to know each other 

and hes basically like damn if i’m about to pass up this chance!!!!!!!!

Tamara works as a programmer literally one (1) city away 

basically they just?? end up getting along really well?? Devon spends a lot of his off days hanging out with her

he’s so ecstatic to finally have someone who’s his family like she treats him like a little brother

probably Tamara also has a younger sibling, their name is Calix. they work as a doctor and dont see Tamara often but the two are close regardless

they’ll be important later but for rn they’re not relevant

anyway, at some point they make plans for Devon to meet Tamara and he ends up at her work

and she’s chilling with this guy who is absolutely

fucking

gorgeous

Devon’s sure he died, right there, behind a goddamn cubicle,,

he’s frantically trying to think up something suave to say (are you the only tennessee no– wait–) when Tamara notices him

she introduces him to her hot friend, his name is Shay

Devon tries to play it cool

“Hey would you mind if Shay came w–”

“NO NOT AT ALL I WOULDNT MIND”

they go out for lunch

he chills out a little bit on the way enough to be his usual self

Shay mistakes flirting for good-natured joking

Devon suffers

They exchange numbers 

cue pining 

Shay continues to be oblivious

He has to be told point blank by Tamara whos like “Please, for the love of all that is good, fuck him go on a date with my cousin.”

“Has he been asking me on dates every time he takes me out?? every time??”

I love Shay so much u dont even know

Shay is basically a really pure and happy person, literally nothing can get him down ever he’s just trying to live his best life

he’s everything to Devon, he’s so sunshiney and nice and Devon has just been through some stuff and his life is going well and now he has been blessed with this beautiful, perfect boy….,,,

it’s not like Devon has never dated anyone before, most of his relationships have been purely physical but he’s been in romantic relationships w people

but this is like. it he knows it. 

they date for about a year, everything’s fantastic

and then

things are heating up politically, and Devon’s in the military so they need him somewhere else

right now everyones living in like?? around india somewhere and they need him in like. canada.

hes understandably upset

he’s gotta move. acROSS THE GLOBE.

he’s not going to break up with bae but they’ve got to talk through this like Adults™

so they talk through it

and Shay’s basically like

“fuck no, i’m moving with you idiot

did you think you were just going to move away from me bench?? sike”

they move in together

I used to have their apartment layout drawn up on homestyler but they reset the system and it’s gone into the void so i’ll have to remake it :’)

so now they’re moved in which is super great everything is popping

remember Calix? they’re relevant again

basically, Calix has been dating this girl for a while now and they’ve gotten serious but their relationship is not working out because she is a mess tbh and they love each other very much but they are not good for each other

Calix isn’t emotionally receiving or helpful he’s very blunt so they end up splitting up because she doesn’t need a relationship  

Said girl is Adella

Adella is a mess basically

the program she was recruited for made her very successful, very well known in her field and in a lot of ways, among common people

but downside is there was a lot of government dirty work she was kind of pressured into doing

there’s also a lot of hush hush skirmish’s that have been occurring that she had to stop

she’s been struggling with depression for a lot of her life and she has PTSD so when her contract is up she decides to take a break™ 

her and Calix’s relationship kind of falls apart but she’s friends with Tamara and she’s like I need to leave somewhere and get out of this messiness, i’m going to move back home (Canada)

Tamara is like

LIGHTBULB DING DING DING

she doesn’t think that Adella shoudnt be on her own, she wants someone to supervise her and make sure she doesnt accidentally starve or smthn

she has the best intentions but she kind of tricks Devon and Shay tbh

“Hey you guys got an apartment with an extra room?? Can you take in my friend for a while, she’ll pay rent, she has a job she’s just trying to find a nice place to live but she needs to move to the area rn”

the two of them are like “yeah sure lol sounds legit tammy we ly

Adella shows up on their doorstep with the intention to live there for like 2 years

cue Shay internally flipping his shit over this lowkey celebrity whos going to LIVE in HIS APARTMENT DEVON DID YOU CLEAN THE KITCHEN

Devon is not phased 

he knows Adella from school so he’s just kind of like hey its u whats banging girlie

he basically just treats her like normal and she is so appreciative 

basically they become SQUAD i love them and thats the beginning of my story and thus ends background 

i’m sorry this was so long i tried so hard but i got carried away. double sorry for taking so long I have like 3 end of school projects due rip me
