Maybe both Danny and Cato for the song ask if that's okay with you?

Of course! ^.^ 💙

Danny Gibson ~ "Warrior of the Mind" from Epic: The Musical Saga

I can hardly explain this, but when I thought of Danny, the second half of this song where young Odysseus and Athena formally meet and start singing together for the first time just bolted through my head!! I could ABSOLUTELY see Danny being clever and calculating when meeting Bat for the first time and Bat loving the hell out of that because hey, he was a Ravenclaw too when he was alive! And what can I say, I love Danny and Bat's relationship too. <3

Cato Reese ~ "Something Wild" by Lindsey Stirling ft. Andrew McMahon

I thought this song really evoked Cato's love of nature, while also addressing his tendency toward anxiety and self-doubt. I remember a while back reading in Cato's bio that he and his brother Alex used to stargaze together, and yeah, I love that mental image while listening to this! Even the line "and even if you're scared, you're stronger than you know?" That seems very Cato to me.

Send me a character, I'll give you a song!

Weekend with the Grays: Supper time at Winbourne

Luckily, Nadia was back to normal after taking it easy yesterday. She spent the day mostly napping and chit-chatting with her boyfriend, Jesse. Selina Fawley, on the other hand was a little bit of uncomfortable. During the dinner, she stayed close to Marty, but once the men went on their separate ways, she was left alone with the ladies. And really, she wasn't close to them. Except for Vinnie Wakefield who decided to join the party last minute. Selina felt happy to know that at least one of her close hufflepuff friends made it. So you bet, Selina did follow her around like a lost puppy!

Event hosted by @endlessly-cursed and Jesse belongs to them. Marty is @cursebreakerfarrier 's, while Vinnie is @gaygryffindorgal 's character.

He is fighting a war. Just got his arms back. Has been fighting for his life so intensely that even we as the audience are unaware of the passage of time. And still has time to fanboy.

Maybe a song for Cato?<3

Cato Reese ~ "Concerning Hobbits (cover)" by Taylor Davis

Okay, so when I think of Cato, I can't help but immediately think of the HPHM Cardverse @ariparri and his role as Ace of Clubs, and for the Land of Clubs, I can't help it, Lord of the Rings's soundtrack in general just captures their aesthetic, to me. (I even have Peter Hollens's cover of "In Dreams" on Orion's playlist too, that association with Lord of the Rings goes THIS deep with the Clubs cast. 😂) This medley really captures Cato's preferred existence -- quiet, thoughtful, and peaceful with a touch of whimsy and adventure -- but the slight, almost military-like "march" of the intro and the more business-like cadence later on still kind of captures the responsibilities and burdens he's taken on his shoulders, whether in the Cardverse as Ace, or in his own canon after his brother Alex disappeared and he had to become Hogwart's resident Cursebreaker or later when he joined the Order of the Phoenix.

Send me a character, I'll give you a song!

"Welcome back, it's been a while."

After a long time has passed, how might the Obey Me! demons welcome you home with a hug?

---

Lucifer tries to approach you in a calm and collected manner, but that facade easily crumbles as he gets closer. His pace quickens and his expression melts into an inscrutable blend of emotion. The man is fighting to stay composed.

He pulls you towards him, unwilling to wait a moment longer to have you in his arms. His gloved hands wrap around your back and waist with a secure grip. Your toes brush the ground as his hug lifts you to eye level, pressing a kiss to your forehead. "Welcome back, I've missed you."

---

Mammon sprints up with the goofiest grin imaginable plastered on his face. He catches himself at the last moment though, grinding to a halt as a blush creeps over his ears. He wants to be cool. "You sure are a piece a work to keep The Great Mammon waiting."

His arrogant act is betrayed by the many glances in your direction. By the way he's clenching his fist so hard his knuckles are white, and by the way he immediately crumbles into your open arms the second you reach out. He throws his arms around your shoulders and digs his face into your neck. He grips the back of your top a little too hard, as if you might leave again any moment.

---

Leviathan sheds his insecurities and doubts, all negative emotions, just to be able to bask in your presence again. It's a moment he's looked forward to for weeks. He puts trust into the belief that you've also been looking forward to seeing him.

He wraps his arms and legs around you, unconsciously aiming to get as much skin contact as possible. "I've really missed you, you know!?" he half-shouts before burying his face in your shoulder. You fight to stay standing upright. Every little movement, every minor adjustment in posture you make causes Leviathan to snuggle closer until you can't tell where your limbs end and his begin.

---

Satan can't control all of the overwhelming emotions that hit him at once. He grabs hold of your hand, and with a palm on your back he pulls you close until your entire weight leans against him. At your touch, all he can do is smile.

"Glad to see you again." The two of you sway back and forth, turning your hug into a psuedo-Waltz. When you look into his eyes, Satan gives your hand a kiss and presses your intertwined fingers against his face.

---

Asmodeus laughs as he barrels into you. "Did you miss me? Of course you did!"

You stumble back several steps yet he catches you before you fall, latching onto your side like a matching puzzle piece. He rubs his cheek over your head, pausing every few seconds to give you a kiss as his free hand enthusiastically traces its way up your back.

Asmodeus is the most reluctant to let go. Making a mess of your hair and clothes only gives him a calculated opportunity to touch you more as he tidies up your appearance. His caress lingers over your collarbone and around your ear. His fingers brush against your mouth, which he then brings to his own lips.

---

Beelzebub falls to his knees, relieved to see you return safe and sound and glad to be by your side once more. His arms curl around your hips. He noses his face into your chest and looks up with a content smile as he greets you, "welcome back."

You lean over to return the hug, running your hands through his hair. You don't expect Beelzebub to stand, picking you up in the process. You steady yourself on his shoulders as he rises, his violet eyes not wavering from you for a second, tempting him to steal a kiss.

---

Belphegor wraps his arms around your shoulders and practically falls on you. He doesn't seem concerned that you're sinking to the ground. In fact, he's so preoccupied with cuddling up to you that there's no way to avoid sitting on the ground with this demon on top of you.

He curls his body around your legs. You feel his warm breath on your neck as he slowly exhales, "welcome back." He's awake, but nothing will stop him from pretending to be asleep as his grip strength loosens and his face trails down your body.

---

Diavolo laughs amicably as you approach. He wants you to come to him, and is so thrilled to have you back. He bends down to latch his arms under yours and swings you around, sweeping you off your feet as you twirl two, three times, then slow to a stop.

"How have you been?" In due time he wants to know everything, and hear all the stories of your time away in detail. For now, he's got you locked in a bear hug. You feel his lips brush over your hair as he lightly swings you back and forth.

---

Barbatos' hug is the most restrained. It's simple and polite. At first he was content to just greet you with a gentle handshake and loving gaze. Though, when you request a hug, there is no way he can say no.

He extends his arms around your back, gives you two soft pats, and hesitates for just a moment before letting you go.

At night that evening as you prepare for bed, you find a note in your pocket that Barbatos must have cunningly slipped in without anyone noticing. It's a detailed letter with everything he didn't get to tell you in person.

[lonelyslutavatar]

I think some people need to understand that someone being aro/ace doesn't necessarily reflect what media they like to create/consume. I like to draw nsfw, I love raunchy romcom, I like to revolve fictional relationships in my head. Do I want to be put in that situation? No. Some might but that's the thing, fiction doesn't equate reality. It's all theoretical.

[ryllen]

no, but pinecones is really beautiful isn't it ?

[zara-renata]

Hi, I write fanfiction about Love and Deepspace. Currently Sylus-dominant (heh), although I love and appreciate most of the LIs. Full summaries and tags are in each link.

The Sylus series

Part 1 Alike and cornered beast, Sylus's POV | ao3

I was desperate for Sylus's point of view during the first time that MC meets him in the Alike and Cornered Beast chapters of Long-Awaited Revelry. I wanted to know why he touches MC so reverently but also quite brutally, so I spent a lot of time thinking about possibilities and this is the result.

Part 2 Roleplay, undercurrents, and rising curtain, Sylus's POV | ao3

MC has PTSD from chapter 4 (you know the one), and no one can convince me otherwise, so I re-wrote the auction bits from Sylus's POV to fix this grievous oversight, because I am also firmly convinced he is a champ at handling MC's trauma.

Part 3 No way out, revised | ao3

I thought that MC was too mean to Sylus in his 4 star No Way Out card, and I didn't like it, so I fixed it. I mean, I rewrote how it went like a proper rabid fan.

Part 4 Datura tea, or how all you want is to get some sleep | ao3

You're suffering from insomnia due to untreated PTSD (probably, I don't know, I'm not a doctor or a therapist) from your family getting, well, exploded, and the longer this goes on, the sloppier you become in combat and just existing, and a bad idea is born.

Part 5 Sylus gets a headache | ao3

Sylus has secured the promise from you that he can use your place as a safe house if he's in the area and needs it. Sylus's definition of "need", it turns out, might be different than your own, as illustrated by the first time he shows up unannounced at your door.

Part 6 Wine time with Sylus | ao3

Sylus invites himself over, helps himself to your first aid kit and your kitchen, manipulates you into tasting wine with him, discusses his latest business venture, and gifts you more than one present before he's good and ready to finally leave.

Part 7 Sylus's guide to hiring, or Wine time with Sylus: his POV | ao3

Sylus mulls over all the data he has managed to collect regarding his sweet little hunter so far, and spends some time considering mistakes he's made and his plans for the future. He also hires a new employee and is required to teach the twins to mind their manners in front of guests he's trying to intimidate.

Part 8 Not my type | ao3

Sylus pesters you on your day off while you're at the arcade until you agree to "lend your talents" to him for the evening. So of course you show up at the designated location only to discover it's a nightclub, and you're dressed for a murder, but not on the dance floor.

Part 9 Sylus makes a deal | ao3

Sylus answers some questions, receives dating advice from a dubious source, makes a deal you can't refuse, receives a birthday invitation, and plans to take you home for the night.

Part 10 Even the rocks on the roadside in the N109 Zone could tell | ao3

Sylus makes one final miscalculation. You wake up from a nightmare in a place you weren't ready to revisit. Sylus has to reckon with the inevitable consequences of how he treated you when you first met him, but you're paying the higher price.

Part 11 Even the rocks on the roadside - Sylus's POV | ao3

Sylus tries to get some paperwork done in his office while you sleep. He receives a call that turns his night upside down and makes him regret some strategic choices he's made up until this point in conquering your heart.

Part 12 Q&A with Sylus Qin | ao3

Sylus cares for your injuries and feeds you a meal. After he shows you a part of his home that you didn't know existed, you finally ask him why he was so cruel to you when you first met him. Sylus does his best to answer with as much honesty as he can right now.

Part 13 How you learned to stop worrying and embrace Sylus Qin | ao3

Sylus reveals his latest little plot and makes you an offer that you ultimately can't refuse. More lying around talking in different beds with Sylus Qin.

Part 14 The dream, the tie, the tour, the dream | ao3

You have a good dream, get a guided tour of Onychinus's base by the chaos twins, talk yourself into being sad again, and then have another good dream

Part 15 The right hand, the left hand, the heart of Sylus Qin | ao3

Sylus meets with his legal counsel while the twins give you a tour of the base, you wake up from a dream, Sylus wastes some eggs, you attempt to get to know Sylus better, and you have your first 'date' with Sylus Qin.

Part 16 The pool | ao3

You dream, you do some art, you go for a swim, Sylus destroys part of his office, you discover the hot tub, you're close to catching a clue. A 'morning' in the life at Onychinus HQ.

Part 17 And everything that is now already existed then | ao3

Sylus shows you his favorite parts of his house, you are haunted by a strange feeling of familiarity, you spend some time with the twins and Noah, you learn about the bet they had going.

Sylus standalones

Control: a Sylus series interlude | ao3

You are feeling a bit depressed after completing a mission that didn't go 100% the way you wanted. Mephisto, and then Sylus, pay you a visit to cheer you up.

Creature Feature with Sylus Qin | ao3

You and Sylus dress up for a Halloween gala. This is a short little Sylus series interlude, occurring after these idiots finally get together.

Goodcat code, or how you learned to care for your catboy | ao3

Your crimelord boyfriend disappears for a week, you make yourself sad listening to breakup songs, you learn that he got turned into a catboy, you get assigned a mission on the worst cruise ship ever, undercover shenanigans ensue.

Would you love me if I were a worm drabble

Xavier

Sleepy time with Xavier | ao3

You suffer from chronic fatigue and worry that Xavier is only placating you when he says it's fine on the occasions you're too exhausted to follow through on plans together. On one such bad day, he reassures you in a way that you can no longer doubt.

"Staring at the blank page before you -- Open up the dirty window... Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find!

Reaching for something in the distance -- So close you can almost taste it -- Release your inhibitions! Feel the rain on your skin! No one else can feel it for you... Only you can let it in!"

Yay, now for something more cheerful for the Haunted Mansion AU! This is a gift for my friend @ag907, which features her MC, Gwen Dunmoore ("the Performer" in this AU), with Beating Heart Bride Carewyn! (You can see I was experimenting with making these two look more "ghostly" and faded, while still coloring them enough that they look fully materialized.)

But yeah, I had this image of Carewyn actually being able to enjoy a walk through the gardens behind the Cromwell Manor, after she's freed from the Phantom's influence and Duncan takes charge. There she stumbles upon her fellow music lover, the Performer, balancing on the wall like it's a tightrope. The Performer then playfully holds her umbrella over the so often-reclusive "mistress" of the house when a bit of sun peeks through the clouds.

"No escort today, Bride? Where's the Wanderer?" "Wandering, as he's prone to do...so I thought I might do the same, on my own." "Glad to see it! It is a lovely day to be outside. Especially without that creep Phantom hovering over your shoulder -- wouldn't you say?" "Maybe not in those words. ...But yes, it is."

As a bonus for this post, I want to include some love for AG's own awesome version of this image, featuring much more period-accurate ensembles for Gwen and Carewyn, based on when they lived and died, as opposed to the Haunted-Mansion-themed outfits I drew them in here!

Isn't it fabulous?? ^.^ I totally love it!!

Hurry back...hurry back...much love to all of you! xoxo
