chaos hype anon here and i saw all the new stuff. i am happy. Malleus: Mother will you smite you. this one from that recent post you made just makes me imagine the rest of the nrc students somehow being sideliners to meleanor and lilia fighting while the rest of Diasomnia plus MC and Dawny are doing damage control.

Just a normal day in NRC

[Masterlist; specifically about this ask]

Hello Chaos Hype Anonie 🌺🌻💚

Glad you’re enjoying all the new stuff anonie 💞💞

Ah NRC, you would think NRC would be used to this chaos by now right? Another day means another day of survival essentially.

They have to get used to OBs, powerful dorm leaders having tantrums, pass tests, try not to sign their life away, oh my.

But what they haven’t gotten used to or was ever expecting, was seeing the Queen of Briar Valley chasing one of their third years. Who, apparently, is way older than he looks and used to be a General hundreds of years ago??

At this point, you can tell them that their history teacher is secretly a lord and they would believe you.

Most of NRC watched as Lilia Vanrouge of Diasomnia ran away from Queen Meleanor, who was trying to smite him with thunder.

Malleus Draconia tried to reason with his mother, but to no avail, so he cleared the premises and magicked a shield around the area for safety.

YN: I know Malleus wouldn’t squeal to his mother about what Lilia said…so who could it be?

Dawn: It would have to be someone who benefits from such a situation.

Diasomnia + YN + Dawn: -sigh-

Headmaster Dire Crowley: -counting gold coins; sneezes- Hmm? Is someone talking about me?

I need an answer why do y'all hate on s7 like it's in vogue here what is going on I fucking loved that season. like hello? I can't decide if s5 or now s7 is my favourite of the show it was that good of a watch to me

I missed the closeness of the scoobies so bad I didn't even realize until we hit episode three and I was aching for it. oh, god. and the spuffy of it all! I can't even get into it right here but ohhhh. oh. and DAWNIE my sweet girl oh sweet niblet I love her so much. anya's episode? probably one of my favourite episodes of the entire show tyvm. I really liked kennedy and honestly I think she made a great second in command for buffy when she actually listened, though I think she'd be a god-awful leader. almost all of the episodes held my attention that weren't, y'know, bewitched bothered bewildered part two electric boogaloo over there. and DRUSILLAAAAAA ik she wasn't real but IDC I was fawning every time she was on screen both as the first as actually her oh I just adore her I'll never understand her and I don't even care. taking it back actually getting into the spuffy of it all for a second because oh my GOD they had an actual conversation about themselves where she neither ran away nor punched him!! and the montage of everyone screwing, only to cut to spuffy simply cuddling? to show THAT'S their intimacy? 'bout fuckin killed me it did

them kicking buffy out of her house and then literally no one saying ANYTHING about how she was RIGHT except spike ofc really bothered me. and gosh the way they just kinda... did buffy's plan anyways. a little different, but not really? still invaded the vineyard when half the reason no one was listening to her was bc they didn't wanna go back that. but that was like the biggest issue I had the entire season honestly. there was no riley to make me furious, 15 minutes of angel that I hated every second of but is so small it's whatever, and robin wood kinda annoyed me once he turned on buffy and spike there but y'know he gets less relevant so pshh. I'll admit I also got a bit peeved at myself every time I smiled at something andrew said but he grew on me wayyy quicker than I was expecting or wanting I get why he shows up in fics so often now he's entertaining to watch

anyways. I'm sure there's like a billion million things I've missed in my endeavor to simply enjoy myself while watching but as it stands? I love this season. I love it to bits and pieces and I think it was incredibly fun. y'all might just be the biggest haters in the world cause I am SO glad I decided to actually give it a go

our children, ourselves, dabihawks (happy todofam au) drabble ~

Being a parent was never a part of the plan for either of the pro heroes.

For Keigo it was such foreign concept, family and children own his own, and for Touya... well, he frankly felt like he had babysat enough for a lifetime.

He loved his siblings and all, but he knew all too well how much work little brats were.

But life has a funny way of making you eat your words, and when the fact that kids are coming start sinking in the two of them react very differently.

Keigo's startled and surprised, naturally, but he's also a hopeless optimist that carries the genuine faith that everything will work out in the end, and this is not different.

After all, he didn't exactly have anyone who cared for him in any right way when he was a chick, and he turned out... okay.

So he figures that with him and Touya having all the resources they have. the Todoroki family, their friends, a safe home, each other, they'll be all okay, of course they will!

Touya panics.

Sure he's babysat a lot, but he's never had to be responsible for a whole new human life! He's barley keeping himself alive, hell, he's barley keeping Keigo alive, and now they have to make sure a whole new person is good all the time?

Oh, he's panicking alright, and Keigo's stupid lax attitude isn't doing anything to help, thank you very much!

Then they arrive.

Yeah.

Both of them.

Twins.

One girl and one boy.

And with that, everything is turned upside down.

Keigo panics.

There are two little humans here now, all fresh and new and innocent, their dawny little wings barley there, their little tufts of hair always sticking right up, and they need their dads' help with everything.

Not only that, but they're going to grow up, get bigger, become their own little people, they'll make friends and go to school and fall on love, oh and they're gonna get hurt, no matter what Keigo does they will get hurt, because that's life, and...

Keigo does not know how to deal with any of this.

Touya, on the other hand, holds them for the first time, sees their little hands grab his finger, their little eyes take in the world, and he know they'll be okay.

He already loves them so, so much, he knows he'll do whatever it takes, and he knows that it'll be enough.

With time Keigo mellows out a little, but he stays the worried parent for the first few years.

When they're still babies he has all these apps to keep track of their development, he's crazy about feed and nap schedules, he plays them Mozart to "stimulate their brains" ("Keigo, they're four months they barley have brains"), but his confidence slowly grows.

Touya, while a little more relaxed, still loves to have the little ones near him all the time, he constantly carries them around, and when they get a little bit older they end up clinging onto him like little monkeys, and he just kinds goes with it lmao.

When the twins get a little older the boy (Haruto, Haru for short), starts to look a lot like Touya and Shouto did when they were kids, which makes Touya a tiny bit overprotective at times, especially since Haru is the quiet and shy type.

The girl (Haya) is a lot more like Keigo, cheeky smile and lots of freckles, wild hair and self assurance.

When she gets older she gets really into all things spooky, and Touya loves to introduce her to everything fro Luigi's mansion to Goosebumps, and it becomes a big bonding thing for the two of them.

Touya's also the one to braid her long, wild hair, which drives Keigo crazy bc he tries so hard to learn but his stupid talons keeps getting caught and messing it all up.

When Haru's confidence issues starts to show up, it's Keigo he'll go to for advice and talks about it.

One of the young boy's biggest insecurities is that, while he is the twin with the strongest wings and the air related quirk, he is terrified of heights, and Keigo really wants to help him to be able to share the sky with him, but also he sees how much it tears the kid up inside, that he too longs to fly, and together they're working on it.

Both Touya and Keigo is under the impression that they're the parent the kid tells their secrets to, but in reality both kids go to both parents to make sure they both feel special.

It works for a surprisingly long time, but that's another story.

one day i'll learn to make gifs but until then you get this little unhinged BTVS rant (with bonus pieces of other people's gifs).

ep: 3x19 choices - Faith is fully aligned with the Mayor and in her spiral. But she hasn't killed Prof. Lester Wirth yet, that's not until 3x21.

AND THEN THIS!

ep: 6x21 Two to Go - Willow stole magic powers from Rack and is in her spiral. She killed Warren in 6x20 Villains and has JUST killed Rack.

"It's way too late," said casually and cheerfully versus "I promise it's not too late," said with such aching hope. How Faith lashes back at Willow for hurting her. How Willow lashes back at Dawn for (inadvertently) hurting her. More script quotes below the cut if you want this to gnaw on your brain.

ep: 3x19 choices - Faith is fully aligned with the Mayor and in her spiral. But she hasn't killed Prof. Lester Wirth yet, that's not until 3x21.

"Check out the bookworm." "Faith!" [Willow is surprised] "Anyone with brains, anyone who knew what was going to happen to her, would try to claw her way out of this place. But you, you just can't stop Nancy Drewing, can you? Guess now you know too much and that kinda just naturally leads to killing."

"Faith, wait. I want to talk to you." "Oh yeah? Give me the speech again, please. [Faith is sarcastic here.] Faith, we're still your friends. We can help you. It's not too late." "It's way too late. [Willow says this quickly, calmly, cheerfully, casually.] You know, it didn't have to be this way."

[Faith's smile fades, she retracts, very very slightly.]

"But you made your choice. I know you had a tough life. [Faith is back to smirking.] I know that some people think you had a lot of bad breaks. Well, boo hoo! Poor you. You know, you had a lot more in your life than some people. [Faith studies Willow here, considering her violent options.] I mean, you had friends in your life like Buffy. Now you have no one. You were a Slayer and now you're nothing. You're just a big selfish, worthless waste."

[Faith punches Willow in the jaw and she falls to the ground.]

"You hurt me, I hurt you. I'm just a little more efficient."

[Faith pulls her knife on Willow. It seems like Faith might actually kill Willow, but The Mayor interrupts.]

COMPARE TO

ep: 6x21 Two to Go - Willow stole magic powers from Rack and is in her spiral. She killed Warren in 6x20 Villains and has JUST killed Rack. "Dawnie, what are you doing here? 'Cause if you're looking for me? Now's not a great time." "You look terrible." "Do I?"

... "I have to go." [Dawn is nervous]

[Dawn moves to the door but Willow appears blocking her way. Dawn cries out, definitely scared.]

"Why? So you can run and tell Buffy?" "Willow … please, just listen to me." "You don't have to talk. Just think real loud. I can hear you."

[Willow advances menacingly.]

"You're freaking me out." "Oh, don't be like that. I'm just a little wired. And I have some things to do. I thought if anybody'd understand - " "I miss Tara, too! But this? [Something plays over Willow's face. I think she pauses for a second, she feels the pain a little more.] What you're doing here? This is not the way to go! You're only going to make things worse! [Willow studies Dawn, considering her options. I think she steels herself for what she plans to do, resigned to it.] But I promise, it's not too late to - "

[Willow proceeds to be very cruel to Dawn. She hurts Dawn with her words, efficiently.]

"You miss her?" "Yes." "Did you cry? [Dawn is shocked.] Of course you did. I get that. I understand the crying, you cry because you're human. But you weren't always." "Yes, I was." "No, please. You're telling me you don't remember? You used to be some … mystic ball of energy. Maybe that's why you're crying all the time, Dawnie. 'Cause you don't belong here."

[Willow continues, taunting Dawn and mocking her, super cruel.]

[Willow backs Dawn into a wall. It seems like Willow might actually kill Dawn, but Buffy interrupts.]

Gifsets of some of this, both by starryeyesxx ep: 3 x 19 choices ep: 6 x 21 two to go

I think S6 Willow is eons scarier than S3 Faith, but Faith could have killed Willow with her knife, maybe. I think Faith is super glad The Mayor interrupted so she doesn't have to decide. Good doggie Faith (affectionate). I think Willow wanted to hurt Dawn, and then as she got going she thought death by Buffy was an OK option, and what better way to ensure death by Buffy than killing Dawn?

Also later in 6x21 Willow says, "I've got big party plans." Just like Faith in 3x10 Amends!

The beautiful banner made by my friend Harlow Turner. I had told @austennerdita2533 about this fic and gave her a snippet it. This is my first song fic and the song is Pink Champagne by Carrie Underwood.

Buffy comes into her bedroom after a Scooby meeting, mentally and physically exhausted. She wants to go to sleep. She lifted the comforter, saw a piece of parchment with beautiful scripture, and picked it up. Turning on the light on her nightstand, she noticed yellow roses in a gorgeous crystal vase that twinkled in the moonlight.

“Love Buffy, I know how stressful these last few weeks have been for you; the only time you felt content was when you were Joan. I want to show you, sweetheart, that it will not always be this way. Tomorrow I’ll pick you up at 8 p.m. and wear a gorgeous frock and show you how life should be, we’ll even be Joan and Randy if you want. Just give me a chance.

Yours eternally, Spike.”

A small part of her is saying throw the letter away but everything else is saying she can’t every word has made her heart race. She looks at the letter again with a huge smile from ear to ear. Spike understood exactly what she needed: a night of freedom—no pretending and no judgment—just Buffy.

Xxx

The next night, Dawn pokes her head into Buffy’s room, but when she sees her sister looking at herself in the mirror, she stops and comes in.

“Whatcha doing.”

Buffy jumped and nearly jabbed her mascara brush into her eye. “Dawnie, knock next time you scared me.”

Dawn walks behind Buffy and looks in the mirror at Buffy’s dress and curled hair. “You’re all dressy; what's the occasion?”

Buffy looks at herself for another moment, then looks at Dawn through the mirror. “I’m going out with Spike.” She murmured.

Dawn has a massive smile as she looks at Buffy, fiddling with the bottom of her dress. “Come again; I didn’t quite hear what you said.”

Buffy turned around and looked Dawn in the eyes. “I’m going out with Spike.”

Dawn squeals with excitement and jumps up and down. This is finally happening. The doorbell rings, and Buffy nervously smooths down her dress. “Oh my gosh! I’ll go answer the door. You're going to blow him away. I love you guys!”

Dawn opened the door, and she was stunned. Spike changed his regular clothing for a black dress shirt with a paisley design, black dress trousers, and a leather jacket. Dawn then noticed what was in his hand, and her smile grew. “Buffy will be...“ She stops when she sees Spike's eyes move past her and looks towards the stairs in awe. The room suddenly becomes thick with anticipation.

Buffy comes down the stairs like an angel. She has on a black spaghetti strap cut-out cocktail bandage dress. It’s cut into a v in the front; not only can you see the side of her breasts, but you can see just below her breasts. The sides are cut out so you can see her sun-kissed Californian skin. She also has black heels and a black clutch.

Dawn looks at Buffy and then at Spike. "Spike, are you okay?”

He blinks a couple of times to make sure he’s not dreaming; she looks like a sexy goddess. “You look gorgeous.” He hands her a bouquet of yellow and black roses.

She smiles at the roses, she didn’t expect him to bring her flowers let alone colored roses. “Thank you. You look handsome too.”

She hands them to Dawn as Spike asks if she’s ready to go. She nods.

Xxx

Buffy stops halfway down the sidewalk when she sees the black Porsche in the driveway. “Spike, where did you get a Porsche?”

“Borrowed it from a friend. I wanted everything to be perfect for our date tonight.” Spike has dreamed of taking Buffy on a real date since he realized he loved her. A date where he asks her out and she accepts, they get dressed up and go to a fancy dinner.

He opens the passenger's side door for her and waits for her to get in. Once they are both in, she looks over at him, her big green eyes full of wonder. “Where are we going on our first date?”

“Third date.” He’s not expecting anything from this date. He just wants her to have fun, smile, and maybe even laugh.

She raises an eyebrow, confused about where she was during their first two dates. “This is the first time we’ve been on a date.”

Spike starts the car and pulls out of the driveway. He places his hand on her bare leg as he drives. “Our first date was when I told you about the past slayers I killed. Our second date was when you got drunk and I took you to kitten poker.”

“That first night ended up with me throwing money at you, saying you're beneath me, resulting in you wanting to kill me but instead comforting me when you saw I was crying. And kitten poker was fun. I still can’t believe you play for kittens, which is still stupid currency.”

His thumb brushes over her thigh, he is smiling and relaxed. This is one of the happiest moments in his life. “Not every love story is smooth sailing, pet.”

“So where are we going for our first or third date?”

“I was thinking about dinner, dancing, and then seeing where the night takes us.”

Buffy looks at him, really looks at him; he has a hand on the wheel, and his other hand is still on her thigh. She can’t help it but when he put his hand on her thigh it calmed any doubt she had about tonight.

Anyone can see that Spike is beyond ecstatic that he is officially going on a date with Buffy, the woman he loves. She actually accepted his offer.

She crooks her head while studying him. He’s told her and shown it in different ways, but it's as if she's looking at him in a new light tonight. Tonight he’s not annoying, always popping up Spike. Tonight he is her date, William.

She is still struggling a bit with coming back from the dead. It’s been better since Giles gave them what the council owed her for all the times she saved the world and for dying twice.

They pass the leaving Sunnydale sign. “Are we not having dinner in town?"

“There are no good restaurants; the only good ones are in LA.”

"Spike, please tell me we are not going to LA.”

He side-eyes her. “What’s the worry, love? Captain forehead is probably off brooding somewhere; he won't even know we are in town.”

Buffy takes a breath, looking down at her hands and his on her thigh, and tells him. “The last time I was in LA was that whole sitch with Faith. I went to save Angel from Faith, but I found out he was protecting her. I was mad. I hit Angel, and he punched me in the face. After Faith turned herself in, Angel told me to get out of his town. He followed me back to Sunnydale to apologize, but still, that’s something you don’t forget. I loved Angel, and he protected the woman who took my body and did things, and he hit me.”

Spike's hand on her thigh tightens; Buffy puts a hand over his instinctively; her touch relaxes him, and his hand loosens up his thumb brushes over hers. He is so mad at Angel for treating Buffy that way. He has only punched Buffy when they were fighting, and that was before he realized he was in love with her. Angel never deserved someone as beautiful and kind hearted as Buffy. “I thought the last time was when he found out you were alive.”

She shakes her head, he adds. “I knew you weren’t you that night. I didn’t know who was driving your body, but I knew it wasn’t you.”

Buffy smiles a little at him; aside from Tara, only Spike knew it wasn’t her. He asks her, “If you want, we can find somewhere else to eat.”

She takes a breath and looks down at their hands. She still has a hand on his, and his thumb is caressing her thumb. “No, you worked so hard to set up this date, I don't want to ruin it.”

Spike brings her hand up to his lips and gently kisses them. “You could never, I promise you good memories of LA tonight.”

Buffy turns the radio on, and they hear.

“I can get intoxicated on you, baby, anytime.

Cause you’re mine.”

Xxx

They pull up to a fancy LA restaurant. Spike opens her door and holds his hand out for her. She smiles as she places her hand in his. Amazed at this restaurant and how it fuses both indoors and outdoors perfectly. The doors are open to the outdoor dining area, and there are plants inside.

The host asks them if they have a reservation. Buffy looks up at Spike, and he cheekily says, "Yes, under Randy Giles.”

Buffy tries to hide her smile when she hears that. The host looks at his list and tells them to follow him.

They are seated at a private table for two outside. The entire outdoor seating was reserved for them. Instead of chairs, there is a little loveseat for two with pillows overlooking the patio seating.

“How did you find this place?”

Spike has his arm across the back of the loveseat. “I know the guy who owns the restaurant, he's a friend. His daughter wanted to meet a vampire like the ones from her books. He called me up and I met her, but when she tried to touch me, I told her I was a one-woman kind of man; I’m already taken.”

Buffy raises her eyebrows not expecting that explanation and says, “That was nice of you, but does your girlfriend know you’re on a date with me?”

He chuckles. “The owner told me the next time I’m in town, the meal is on him. The daughter was disappointed I was taken, so I sent her to a broody vampire who is lonely.”

Buffy can’t help but let out a little laugh. “You sent her to Angel?”

“Give the old granddad some fun in his life.” Spike smiles it’s been so long since he’s heard her laugh it’s an angelic melody to his ears.

He had ordered whiskey, and she got a cucumber martini. “So you’re taken?” She takes a sip and scrunches up her face. Buffy and alcohol, no mixy. Spike softly smiles at her, his eyes twinkling.

He nods as he takes a drink. "By a gorgeous woman, she glows; her heart is so big, but it’s taken some beatings in the past, and she has put up some walls because of that. Everyone is always asking her for things and expecting things from her. I don’t want anything from her. I love her; I don't know if she feels something for me. I'm not going to pressure her. She knows she can be alone with me, and I’m there to listen to her or just sit in silence with her.”

Buffy smiles at him and places her hand on his arm. “Who is this woman that has captured your heart?”

He smiles at her tenderly and says, “Buffy.”

She closes her eyes and wills back the tears. She knows Spike loves her but hearing him say this and everything she is going through is a lot for her. She has never had anyone like Spike in her life, he gets her in a way nobody has ever got her. She can never fool him and she doesn’t have to pretend around him or hold back with him. They are always upfront with each other. Her voice is so small, as she says. “Spike, you're going to make me cry here in this beautiful restaurant.”

“I’m sorry, love; I didn’t mean to.” She can hear his worry and regret about saying anything in his voice.

She cups his cheek and looks into his piercing blue eyes. “No, happy tears; that was beautiful; nobody has ever said anything like that to me before.”

He wraps his arms around her, and she snuggles into his embrace as a tear falls down her face.

Xxx

Angel is hunting a demon when he cuts through a parking lot. He is running past cars. When he stops for a second, looking around, he knows that scent;That’s Buffy. But that can’t be; she would tell him if she were in his town. Before he can go look for her, Wesley and Gunn come running up to him. "Angel, the demon, he’s getting away.”

Xxx

Buffy had ordered a molten chocolate cake for dessert. The first bite is an explosion of chocolatey oozy goodness and oh it’s melted chocolate in the middle. “Oh my god! This is the best thing I’ve ever had in my mouth.”

She picks up another piece with her fork and offers it to him. He’s not going to deny her. He opens his mouth, and she places the fork in his mouth. She's so adorable and he’s so happy she is enjoying herself. "Mmm, you’re right, that is good.”

He glides his finger through the melted chocolate and holds up his finger. Buffy licks her lips slowly. Glancing between his eyes watching her and his delicious chocolate covered finger. Buffy can not believe that Spike set all of this up just for her. He just wanted to do something nice for her. She has been so lost and everyone has been trying so desperately expecting her to just bounce back from being ripped out of heaven. Except Spike she knows he’s happy she’s back she can see it in his face, but he doesn’t hover over her or want anything from her. Instead he listens to her if she needs someone to lean on. He has become her person, she goes to him when she’s sad he makes life worth living. Buffy is happy right now; this is exactly what she needed.

A low growl emerges from Spike as he watches Buffy lick his chocolate covered finger up and down. Close her lips around his finger and suck. It's one of the most erotic things he’s ever seen. God this woman, he could dust right now a happy man.

They finish the chocolate dessert, and the plate is taken away. Buffy hears the open doors separating the inside from the outside shutting, and soft music can be heard from a speaker.

When she looks over at Spike he is standing next to her with his hand outstretched. “Want to dance, love?”

A small smile spreads across her face as she places her hand in his. Buffy didn’t know what to expect from this date but was blown away by the thoughtfulness.

“Adrenaline rising

Ain’t feeling no pain

I’m floating and flying

The room is spinning, making me sway

And I ain’t even had to go

And I open a bottle of wine tonight.”

As they sway, Buffy tells him. “Much better than the last time I was in LA.”

Spike smiles to himself. He is on cloud nine right now. He wants to give Buffy everything; she deserves everything. He wants to be the one she loves, the one she comes home to and snuggles up with. He will be there side by side fighting demons with her.

Xxx

After killing the demon, Angel went back to that parking lot. Where he smelled Buffy, but her scent was gone. Angel shakes his head. He is losing it.

Xxx

Spike glances over at Buffy; his hand is on Buffy’s thigh again. they share a smile and he almost hits a tall green demon with red horns in a red suit running out into the street.

“I did not want to kill anything tonight. Demons don’t go poof like vampires.”

Spike glances over at Buffy to see if she’s ok, she nods. The demon knocks on the driver's window. Demons don’t normally knock or wear suits. He rolls down his window, and the demon tells them. “Hi, I’m the host; you can call me Lorne. I can read people's auras, and as you were driving by, I got overwhelmed by you, diamond, and slim. If you may follow me into my club, I can give you a better reading. Help you on your path.”

Spike looks at Buffy; they both know that since she has come back, she has kind of been pathless, just going through the motions. She is trying to be okay so the others don’t worry. The only time she is happy is when she is with Spike. She nods at him.

The blonde couple follows the demon into his club. “How does this work?”

"I can read you the best if you sing.”

“Do you have any relation to a demon named Sweet?” Buffy’s body shakes memories of being in a musical coming back to her.

Lorne shakes his head, and Spike chuckles at the question.

Buffy takes a breath as she begins to sing the song that she heard in the car.

“One more round of you won’t hurt me.

I need you right now in a hurry.

Cause your love (baby) gets me more buzzed than pink champagne.”

Spike smiles at her and sings the last line with her. “Got me addicted, don’t want to fix it.”

Buffy wraps her arms around his waist and he wraps his arms around her. Buffy lets out a breath. She does not want to be hurt anymore and she knows that Spike would never hurt her. It’s the people she calls her friends who hurt her and would never accept her dating Spike. It feels like her friends do not want her to be happy. They pulled her out of heaven, told her she is broke and is expecting her to fix all their problems, but nobody is seeing that she has problems too. Except for Spike all he has done is try to help her with her problems and help take some of the burden off her.

Lorne settles down at the bar and wipes his tears, emotions, feelings and thoughts flood through him. He Abruptly stands up and hurries over to the entrance when he sees who just entered his club.“Not a good time, Angel Cakes.”

"Lorne, you don’t understand...Buffy?”

Lorne puts a hand on his chest to stop him from charging at the couple, “Angel food.”

Lorne turns his attention back to Buffy and Spike.“That was Cher-rific. Your auras are so strong. My Diamond, you are not empty inside; you are filled with love. You closed yourself off after Mr. Tall Dark and Rockin left you, but from what I’ve seen, Spike is not going to leave you. Every moment spent with Spike breaks through the walls of depression. Slim, you love with your whole heart. You are one of a kind; you’re a vampire, but you love so strongly and feel things so deeply. You do have a soul, the demon could never take that away from you. You always knew what you wanted to be and what you didn’t want to be. Stay on this path together; your future is bright for both of you. There will be hardships, but if you’re together, you can overcome anything.”

Buffy and Spike are still holding each other. He has his arms around her, and her hands are on his chest. They are gazing into each other’s eyes and smiling at each other.

Lorne smiles at the happy couple as he claps his hands. “Pink Champagne for Slim and Diamond.”

“Mate, Buffy doesn’t like the taste of alcohol.”

He lowers his voice and leans down to her ear. “You do make the most adorable face when you drink it, though.”

She shyly smiles up at him as she tells Lorne. “Spike isn’t a champagne person; he's more bourbon or whiskey.”

“Everyone loves Pink Champagne.”

As Lorne has his back to everyone, Angel sees his opportunity and huffs over to the couple. “How do you know each other’s drink orders?”

“Angel?” Buffy doesn't leave Spike's embrace, she likes the feeling of Spike's strong arms holding her, she feels safe in his embrace. She didn’t even notice Angel was here; when did he arrive? How long has he been here?

“What are you doing here, you Magnificent Poof?

Angel touches Spike's arm around Buffy’s waist to free Buffy; she clearly needs his help. “Sod off wanker!"

“Stop touching my date!” Buffy pushes Angel’s hand away from Spike. She is the only one who gets to touch Spike.

Angel looks between them and takes in their date night attire. “You’re on a date? Buffy, are you under a spell? This is Spike here.”

Buffy scoffs; of course, she couldn’t go on a date or hang out with Spike unless she was under a spell. It’s not like she could like him on her own. She gets Spike, and he gets her; he doesn’t demand things from her. He’s happy to just sit in silence with her, listen to her, and be there for her when she needs someone. Buffy really likes that she can depend on Spike; he is there for her through thick and thin.

“No, I'm not under a spell. For the first time in a while, I’m having fun. I’ve been so lost and lonely lately, and Spike is the only one who noticed. He’s the only one who has been there for me.”

Spike’s fingers grazed her cheek. “Till the end of the world.” His voice is so soft, and it makes her insides explode with happiness knowing that someone will never leave her.

“Buffy, it’s Spike. Can you trust him? He’s a monster.”

Spike scoffs offended. Not only is Angel interrupting his date with Buffy, but that's rich of Angel to call him a monster. “Listen, you miserable bastard. You tried to make me a monster you failed; you don’t like me because I’m everything you’re not and never can be. I’m not like you, my soul never left when I turned into a vampire. With one without one I’m a good person. Take yours away, and you’re an animal. I was a gentleman when I was human, and I’m still a gentleman. I've just upgraded; you were a ponce, and now you're a gormless tit. I asked Buffy out tonight because I knew she needed to have some fun. She has been through a traumatic event, and nobody is seeing what they’ve done to her. I’ve seen the glimpses she’s let me in. I’m trying to help her. Where were you when the woman you claim you love died? You didn’t check on her family once; I took care of her little sister, made sure she went to school, helped her with her homework, made sure she was eating and not killed by demons. Do you even know how hard it has been for Buffy?”

Buffy looks up at Spike again, like it’s the first time she has seen him. He took care of Dawn when she was dead; he did not have to; she knew he promised, but a lot happened that night. She would not hold it against him if he did not keep his promise. “You looked after Dawn?”

“I made a promise to a lady, a lady that I love. I almost couldn’t. I was so heartbroken and sobbing at seeing you like that. I didn’t realize the sun was coming up so soon. Luckily, Clem was walking home. He got me back to my crypt.”

Buffy cups his cheek wiping a tear sliding down Spike's face, he leans into her soft touch. He cries everytime he thinks of seeing Buffy’s lifeless body laying in front of him. “I’ll have to thank him. Next time you take me to kitten poker.”

Spike raises his eyebrows and smirks down at her, tightening his arms around her. “Next time, pet?”

“I still think it’s stupid currency, but there can be a next time.”

Spike leans his forehead against hers. Their eyes closed. Savoring this moment between them. She has tried on his world, and he’s right, it did feel good. She wants to make a world with him.

Angel begins again. “I didn’t know she didn’t tell me, Buffy. Why didn’t you tell me?”

Buffy glances over at Angel; she just wants to continue her date with Spike. They should have never come into this club; Buffy and LA are not mixy anymore. “You didn’t want to hear it; like everyone else, you just wanted the confirmation that I was alive and that I could continue my fight. Getting ripped out of heaven is not something a person bounces back from easily; it takes time. Spike was the only one who cared to ask what it was like for me. He saw me coming down that staircase. He gently guided me to the living room. I did not want to be touched. Everything was hard, bright, and scary. Nothing felt right, but when Spike held my hands to clean them, it didn’t feel scary anymore. He didn’t attack me with questions like the others. He softly answered my questions, counted the days I was gone, and asked where I was. I told him later, I was in heaven, and now I’m not. It’s hard, but I know Spike is there for me.”

Spike cups Buffy’s cheek, and she softly smiles up at him. She tenderly leans into his touch, and his thumb stops a tear from running down her face. Buffy glances at Angel. “We know each other’s drink orders from a couple of weeks ago.” She looks back at Spike.” We went on a date; I had a hard day. I went to him, we drank whiskey, and we went on his motorcycle, he took me to kitten poker. I drank while he played. He was trying to cheer me up and he did.”

Before, Angel could be even more angry that Buffy was getting drunk in a demon bar. Lorne cuts in. “She is not on your path, my Little Crumb Cake. She never was. Slim and Diamond are on the same path.”

“But-“

“Angel, I'm going to tell you the same thing I told you about Darla. Let Buffy go; she is happy with Spike. Look at them; have you seen her be that happy with you?”

Angel looks at Buffy; her hands are around Spike's neck; her head is on his chest; he is hugging her tightly; leaving soft kisses in her hair; and he is whispering sweet nothings in her ear to relax her. Spike knows Buffy doesn’t like talking about heaven. It upsets her to think about what she lost.

Angel shakes his head. “She’s happy, my Little Milk Dud.”

“Milk Dud?”

“Said with affection, Angel Wings.”

Angel looks at the green demon with three glasses of Pink Champagne. “Lorne, stop calling me pastries.”

Lorne chuckles. As he watches Angel head for the door.

“To the happy couple.” Lorne gives Buffy and Spike a champagne glass, and the three of them cheer. Buffy looks down at the champagne glass of pink bubbly liquid. Spike drinks his and Lorne drinks his. Buffy takes a sip. It’s really good, she can taste the strawberries and the cream. They have found her drink. She is a Pink Champagne girl.

“One last dance for the road.” Lorne announces.

Buffy puts her hand out to Spike. “Want to dance?”

Spike places his hand in hers and smiles, remembering when he asked her earlier.

Angel stops at the door, turns around, and sees them begin to sway to Lorne singing.

“There ain’t no last call, counting down on the clock. (Counting down)

(On the clock) I can have all I want; don’t be cutting me off.

Cause too much of your good love ain’t a bad thing. (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

And your kiss got me wishing, I could bottle it up. (Oh I could)

(Bottle it up) Every sip to my lips is a sweet sugar rush.

Cause your love gets me more buzzed than pink champagne.”

Buffy looks up at Spike. This has been a wonderful and memorable date. Sure, there are things she would rather not happen—the Angel of it all—but she is happy with Spike; just feeling him around her and swaying to the music is all she needs. “I’m sorry.”

“What for love?”

“For not seeing sooner that you do love me. I might be falling in love with you too.”

Spike's smile is huge when he looks down at her. This is the best sentence he has ever heard. This has been the best date he has ever had, apart from the Angel of it all. He did appreciate telling Angel off. His fingers slide under her chin, and he kisses her tenderly on the lips.

“I still like my rosé

Boy, don’t get me wrong.

But you’re what I reach for when I want something stronger.

Never hungover, but I can’t stay sober with you.

And I don’t want to.”

Xxx

Spike pulls into the driveway at 1630 Revello Drive. He opens the door for Buffy and puts his hand out for her to take. When they get to the door, Spike leans in and leaves a soft kiss on her lips. “Goodnight Buffy.”

As he turns to leave Buffy grabs his hand. She doesn’t want the night to end. This night was perfect. She couldn’t have asked for a better date night. Spike is her man and she wants to be with him. She leans in and leaves a small kiss on his lips. She leans her forehead against his.“You can come in if you want. It’s just me; Dawn is at Janice’s, and Willow is out.”

He nods as they get to the threshold. He scoops her up, bridal style, and she squeals. “Spike!”

He kisses her as he carries her inside, as she pushes the door closed behind them.

Dawnie's Colors

---

An uncanny Murkrow living her life in the cold Blizzard Island, Dawnie the Murkrow seems to be content being the Elder of the current Base Village, as well as a single for life. It's no big deal for an aroace like the town's quirky elder. It doesn't stop her from making great relationships with the folk that lives in the island's settlements, either platonic, or familial at some cases.

I thought this time I won't want to miss Pride Month without updating an old Dawnie Art. Previously she dons the Asexual Scarf, but as someone pointed out that aces can still engage in romantic relationships, and Dawnie is obviously not interested in such, I have to make the change.

Oh by the way that's a Weavile Poke-style Shawl she's donning!

My Princess/Prince

Summary: You were invited to the Masquerade Ball in Nobel Bell College with the rest of NRC students. When you are talking to the first years, you noticed a female in a suit and you realized that the female is Tsukii, the 1st Vic Warden of Sapphire Lake Dorm

Oc: Isolabella Duvessa Tsukii

AN: If you all are wondering what kind of suit and heels she is wearing, it's this suit and heels.(both are from Pinterest)

Gn!reader with you/your pronouns

Fandom: Twisted Wonderland

Word Count: 12k

Event: Masquerade Event

Warning:Fluff,Reader was a ramshackle student, Tsukii being a bad bitch(she is literally wearing a suit), Tsukii being bold with her actions, small arguments between Tsukii and Ace for a bit, Reader is a simp for Tsukii

Recommended Listen to: Fur Elise by Beethoven

You never expect this ball to be..THIS big.

You and the rest of NRC have been invited to Nobel Bell College for a masquerade ball. You weren’t a fan of big parties but since you are an Ramshackle student in NRC, you had to go. But since it's a masquerade ball, you have to dress formally which is not a problem for you. But when you entered the ball itself, you were overwhelmed by the amount of people there. You are used to NRC’s student population but this is too much for your heart.  

As you walk around the ballroom with your gremlin Grim, you were impressed by the amount of work the people hosting this ball had and you were also greeted with a few of your friends talking and hanging out with a few familiar girls. “Hey J, since when did you four go to balls?” Kalim asks the purple haired girl with a pale purple dress that looks like a goddess dress with black ends. The purple haired girl now known as Jeanne giggles. “Oya~? Us four love parties. No matter what kind of party it is. Masquerade balls are our favorite.” You were not surprised at this news from the mirror curse/demon. “Hey [name]! Did you know that Deuce has been eyeing Jeanne?” Ace asks while Deuce is beside Ace with his cheeks, faint pink at this. “S-Shut up! Jeanne is pretty.” Deuce told Ace who quickly replied with a smug smirk on his face. “Oh? What if I told Jeanne about this?” Deuce later glared at Ace and looks like he wants to punch him but you intervene. “Hey, we are at a ball. So we had to be formal and polite and since you two are talking about Jeanne, then go to her and talk to her. She is not as bad as Headmaster Crowley thinks.” The ADeuce duo look at each other then back at you and nodded their heads and dash towards Jeanne who noticed them.

The ball went on and it went well. You have a fun time watching Grim so he won’t cause trouble, teasing your friends with a smug smile on your face and dancing a few times. At the corner of your eye, you see Ace and another person is glaring at each other and having a small argument. “You know damn well what you are doing. Telling Jeanne, Night, and Dawny to kiss our cheeks. Jamil had to hide face while Deuce did not respond.” Ace told the person who had their arm crossed over their chest. “Come on. I only told them what they wanted to do during this ball. Is it wrong to appreciate the cheek kisses…or do you all want more from the three?” The person asks Ace with a sly smirk and you instantly remember the voice.

Isolabella Duvessa Tsukii, the 1st Vic Warden of Sapphire Lake Dorm, NRC’s mysterious dorm. She is the bookworm and the woman with sassiness and boldness. “You know you are the reason why Vil can’t punish Night, Tsukii.” Ace glared at Tsukii who only smirked. “You say that but you never snapped at Jeanne nor got angry at her. Going back on your word Ace Trappola?” You step in to prevent Ace from hitting Tsukii because you know how she reacted to it. “Yo, Ace. Jeanne and Deuce are outside. Why don’t you go to them or else Deuce will steal her attention?” That got Ace’s attention and he rushed outside to meet with Jeanne and Deuce.

You sighed in relief since Ace and Tsukii have the most confusing relationship in NRC. “You must be [name] from Ramshackle, the magicless student?” You heard Tsukii speak behind you and when you turned to greet her back, you felt your breath caught in your throat. She wears the most beautiful suit with a pair of heels that match one of her aesthetics. You noticed that her right hand has a glove on. Her hair is put up into a gothic hairstyle that kinda stands out. Her hair is curly at the ends with the middle of her head has a black skull with flowers at each side with one of her bangs is slick back. Her eyes just shone brighter in the lights as she raised an eyebrow at me. “Like what you see?” She spoke in a soft yet playful tone that snaps me out of my trance. 

“Ah, yes I am. You must be Isolabella Duvess Tsukii, correct?” You ask Tsukii who only smiles lightly. “That is me. You are brave for a magicless student but I respect you.” She spoke softly while closing her eyes. “You have the Sapphire Lake Dorm’s respect.” Whoever says that Tsukii is a mute needs to be punched because you heard her speak only with the others. You and Tsukii just stand in the corner, talking about each other’s school lives and Tsukii gives you advice on watching for red flags and how to control your anger. You might have fallen in love with Tsukii due to her intelligence and advice plus her personality is not like any of your peers. You found out that she only chose to speak.

You was a simp for the NRC’s Silent Bookworm ever since she saved you from getting beat up by Savanclaw and Pomefiore students. You were in awe of her eyes glowed a menacing way as her breathing is not only slowed but controlled meaning she is holding her anger back. After that, you were struggling to breathe whenever she glanced at you and smiled. But when you two hear the sound of music turn into a classical song, meaning you have to dance on the dance floor. 

“It seems that we have to dance.” Tsukii spoke as she reached her hand out to you. “May I have this dance, my lady/sir?” Something must have possessed you for a moment when you take Tsukii’s hand, letting her lead you to the dance floor and began to dance closely together. You felt like you two were dancing in the sky, dancing underneath the moonlight. You can’t help but make eye contact with Tsukii. You two twirl around the dance floor while she makes sure that you follow her lead. After the dance, she glances at where her friends and your peers are and you see a sly smirk on her face. Without a warning, she leans you and her down with her holding you by the waist. “T-Tsuki what are you?” You were interrupted by Tsukii kissing you on the lips, you were shocked at her actions. She lifted you up on your feet but you had your head turn to the ground.

You heard Tsukii scoff and chuckle before you felt her ungloved hand cup your chin and make you look at her in the eyes. “No matter what anyone says..you are truly a gem fallen from another world.” She whispered to you before kissing your cheek and left the party to go outside while Jeanne, Night, and Dawn squealed and chased after her. You just watch her leave and now you realize why Tsukii is bold. She has no shame in her actions and she probably knew that you were simp for her. What a shameless and attractive woman of NRC.

Riley: “Well, hey! Willow – and Xander, right? Jeez, what are the chances, huh? Yeah, I was just passing by when I thought I heard people inside.” Willow: “Passing by in your GI Joe outfit?” Buffy: “No offence, but you do look wicked conspicuous.” Riley: “I do? But it’s... – Paintball! Yeah, I was playing paintball. And then the aftershocks...” Xander: “So you’re one of the commando guys, huh?” Riley: Oh, no, no, no, no. Commando? No, I mean... (Notices Spike) Don’t I know you?” Spike: “Me? (Affecting a bad Texan accent) No. No, sir. I’m just an old pal of Xander’s here.” Riley: “Oh. That’s nice.”

Hi ! Here cottage life with Lilia and the Knight of Dawn as Silver mom in the past Anon (I think I will need to find myself an smiley-)

First, thank you ! I'm happy this idea please you and other people 😊

But yes this OT3 is so so cute- My brain run free for it since then.

The relationship those three have...it's just melting my heart 🥹 The perfect trio. Lilia is a bit jalous that the first baby isn't from him -bat boi have his pride- but he just love Silver so much it doesn't matter much 🥺 Little funny fact about Lilia/Knight bromance: before Silver birth, him and the Knight (need to find a proper surname for him-) had a discussion. Like they didn't know who was the father between them, they had a unique way to deal with it: after the baby birth- when who is the father will be more clear- the guy that isn't the bio dad would name the baby. So no one would felt left away from the family.

Lilia blessed the baby at birth, and like in Chapter 5, the baby hair turned white. So Silver's name was back like that 😂

So much things about them...like, rumors runs fast thanks to the forest fairies. But the little family -except when Lilia is called to the castle- don't go often outside to not scare any fairy. So...one day, a toddler Silver ran away to the famous "Castle" were "Dada Lilia" was kept against his will by "This cruel brat of a Princess who want him to "babysit" (Something really cruel and scary from Dada Lilia word-). So Meleanor first encounter with Lilia rumored "son" was this child -monkey- pleading her to -politely- give his Dada Lilia back.

And this is only some funny story 😭 The guilt our time traveler could felt is also interresting. Silver was born and will grow up way before what he was supposed to do. Did this child is -will be- even the same Silver she knew ? And he will never met Sebek in this life. Will this child will be ressentful ? What kind of right does she have to change history -fate- like that ? What will happen if she dissapear, like she came- and go back to her time ? What will happen to her new found family, her husbands, her child ?

But a single giggle of her lovely silver haired baby is enough to make her worries dissapear in a smile. How scary it is, to be so happy at the point you fear the day it will be end.

Hello Cottage Life Anonie 🌻🌺💚

I’m labeling you Cottage Life Anonie until you find a emoji or nickname you prefer ☺️🌺 please feel free to choose whichever that makes you comfortable and happy.

Anonie you have no idea how happy I was when I saw you in my inbox, I was already kicking my feet in excitement ☺️🌺

Hehehe my evil plan of getting more people to like this OT3 is working 😈🙌 lolol I’m really happy that you and others like it. It makes me happy and I’m glad I can share these thoughts with others who like it too.

A knight of dawn x reader x lilia vanrouge pairing has so much potential and routes that I’m just thrilled at all the possibilities 💞💞

Lilia being jealous of the first child not being his is adorable. I can just see him make that face that says he’s pouting but denying it 😂 but he adores Silver so much and he’s also your child, so how could he no love him? Baby Silver with his glittering eyes and you just being so loving with him is perfect.

I adore that agreement Knight and Lilia had about naming the child. It’s so sweet and smart! And another way to include the mutual partner! No one is left out and everyone is loved 🥹 it’s so sweet!! (We need a name for Dawny, I hope we get one for him in twst 🙏)

Oh oh Anonie! Now that you mention the hair color change, some theorize (because of the sprite) that the upper layers of Knight’s hair is blond and the bottom layers are silver!! So if that’s the case, Lilia just turned Silver’s hair fully silver which is also what Dawny has on his lower tresses so this bromance keeps getting sweeter and the connection is still there 🥹

Absjsjshs tiny Baby Silver just toddling away to the castle to save his Dada Lilia like a true knight in shining armor!!! That’s so freaking adorable 🥹💞😭 I can imagine that the little fairies that love Silver and love mischief helped teleport him to the castle where he meets Meleanor and Lilia. You have this sweet child asking so nicely and the Queen’s heart just melts (she also adores his bravery). Meleanor then tries to smite Lilia because of the “bratty” comments 🤣🤣

Now I can imagine Meleanor require a weekly dinner with everyone, she can see Baby Silver, and if malleus is hatched, he can have a playmate. She can also meet the Knight and the Reader (not on the battlefield for once). It’s awkward at first but nothing that time and Silver’s bubbly laughter can’t fix 🥹💞

There’s so many angst potentials! Ahhhh the guilt of the time traveler wife. Silver not growing up with Sebek, not living in the same timeline ( would his friend be mama zigvolt in this case? 🤔).

Would wife tell the husbands about her situation? What happened in her timeline? I feel like if they knew they would understand, and their hearts would ache from the sacrifices she made to have them be happy. 🥹😭

I want to focus a little bit on the if she ever went back to the present, well, this new present that’s the same yet so different. I feel like if YN did go back she would at first be devastated once she realizes she’s back and what she lost. But but but, we have powerful fairies on our side. 👏🙌

I believe in this case, with the help of Meleanor and Lilia (maybe even Levan? He’s smart so he might know more about it). They would put both Silver and The Knight of Dawn to sleep until they are reunited with YN 🥹💚

So, this would solve a few problems actually! Sebek would be in the picture again, and we have Malleus and his parents, and of course, we have Lilia too.

Lilia could be waiting for YN at the spot she said she was teleported from the first time and they could have their reunion before waking the other two. 🥹💞💞 The reunion would be so sweet between the four. Lilia was waiting but at least he had his sister and baby malleus and the rest of his family and friends while he waited. He can go to that cottage and relive memories and remind himself of his loves.

The way this OT3 AU has a grip on me 😭💞💚

Anonie, Anonie, I am shaking you.

“How scary it is, to be so happy at the point you fear the day it will be end.” This line!! This line!! Oh my heart. 😭💞💞

Thank you for sending this in Anonie 💚🌺, ahhh I’m enjoying this so much and my mind is whirling with so many possibilities. You’re my partner in crime now ☺️🌺
