Crossing the line -141& König

Picture credit: @ave661 (middle)

Based on a request: I have recently crossed over and I think I may becoming a Konig girlie! I don’t know if you write for him, and I’m sorry if I sent this and you don’t, but what do we think about Konig dating someone who’s in the 141. They don’t see each other very often with work but 141 and Kortac get paired up to do a mission against Makarov and reader introduces Konig to the team?again sorry if you don’t write to him! But I just wanted to say I love your writing and I’m obsessed with your blog!!! Have a great day! ---- F!Reader (don't know what else to write here...so...yeah) ----

-This is written before the death(s) of any character(s) in the franchise-

A/N: welcome to this side love and don't worry, he is on my list of who I write for and apologise for barley doing this for you

A relationship that can only be described as unconventional and riddled with unanswered questions is precisely what exists between you and König. You're part of Task Force 141, while your boyfriend works for KorTac, a Private Military Company, and a rival to your team. Naturally, you've kept this under wraps; no one in 141 knew about him or where he's employed. But today, of all days, was the day you had to bring him into the fold, thanks to Price asking you to introduce your partner so there could be a record on hand should he ever need to be placed under protection. 

As members of Task Force 141, there's always a record – whether they're enemies, allies or even partners of either side. So, when the day finally arrived and you intordiced him, you made it clear that if they respected you, they wouldn't pry into his life. Out of respect for you, they didn't dig into his background, but you knew that trouble was brewing, especially when both Task Force 141 and KorTac had to join forces against a common enemy: Makarov. He'd betrayed KorTac months ago and was now squarely in the crosshairs of Task Force 141. 

"König?" Gaz blurted out the moment he laid eyes on him. It's hard to miss a man his size and Gaz, with his sharp memory, had clocked him straight away, nudging Soap and Price. Before you knew it, Price had pulled you aside, and a wave of dread washed over you. "Your boyfriend... where does he work?" Price asked, his tone demanding the truth. You could only stare back, silently pleading with him not to push it. "Price, don't do this—" you began, but he cut you off. "Where. Does. He. Work?" he pressed, and with a sigh, you gave him a look that said, 'Don't be mad." "He's in the military... KorTac, to be precise,": you admitted, bracing yourself for the fallout. 

Before Price could respond, Ghost was on you, his voice dripping with fury. "You're dating the fucking enemy? You know what they did to us, who they are, and why they do what they do," he snarled, his teeth practically clenched. You turned to face him properly, "Lt, please... don't make a scene out of this," you implored, but he just shook his head in disbelief. "Make a scene? A fucking scene?! What have you told him, kid?" he barked, shoving your shoulder. "Nothing," you insisted, trying to keep your cool. "You're a fuckin' idiot." His tone was filled with anger and disappointment. "You know why we don't pair with them, why this thing is just a one-off, so don't give me this bullshit, don't fucking––" Ghost raged. 

"That's enough," Price interjected stepping in. 

"I love him. I know he'd never betray me. I took an oath when I joined this team, I made a promise to be a good partner to him, but I take my oath seriously, the same one I took when I was brought into this team. I'd never betray the team that's like family to me, but I also can't help loving him," you explained, your voice wavering slightly as you looked between Ghost and Price.  

"You're... in love?" Soap said, sounding almost incredulous. You sighed, wishing this nightmare would end. "Yes, I am," you confirmed. "With that KorTac bloke, yeah?" Gaz added, and you nodded, meeting their questioning gazes. "I'm sorry, alright? I know it's not ideal, but i swear he'd never betray or harm any of you. He knows how much I care about you all. He loves me, and we promised each other we wouldn't do that," you told them earnestly, hoping they'd understand. They exchanged glances, clearly conflicted. "If he hurts you—" Price started. 

"I won't," König said firmly as he walked into the room, and you couldn't help but let out a relieved sigh. 

Someone ought to lock the door before anyone barges in, you thought wryly. 

"I'll be looking into your personal life," Price warned, his gaze fixed on König. "You're welcome to. Investigate all you want, I've got nothing to hide," König replied, meeting Price's stare without flinching. 

As the tension in the room thickened, you could feel the weight of every gaze on you and König. The air was heavy with unspoken doubts, but also a glimmer of something else—perhaps understanding, or at least the hope of it. 

Price took a step back, his expression unreadable. "We'll see about that," he said, his tone softer but still laced with authority. "But understand this: if he steps out of line, if he puts any of us in jeopardy, I won't hesitate to act. Love or not, you're still a part of this team, and this team comes first." You nodded, your heart pounding in your chest. "I understand, and I wouldn't expect anything less," you replied, your voice steady despite the storm of emotions inside you. 

Ghost was still fuming, but he kept his distance, his eyes narrowing as he looked between you and König. "Don't make me regret this," he muttered, his voice low and dangerous. 

König, to his credit, didn't flinch. "You have my word," he said simply, his voice calm and assured. 

Soap and Gaz exchanged a look, and Soap finally broke the silence with a half-hearted grin. "Well, this is going tomake for an interesting debrief, eh?"

The tension in the room eased slightly, the corners of Gaz's mouth twitching in what might have been the beginning of a smile. "You always did know how to keep things lively," he said, his tone teasing but not unkind. 

You allowed yourself a small smile, feeling the tightness in your chest begin to loosen. "What can I say? Never a dull moment." Price nodded, his eyes still on König. "Alright then. We'll take it one step at a time. But remember, we're watching."

With that, the meeting seemed to unofficially adjourn, the mean dispersing with lingering glances at you and König. As the door closed behind the last of them, you let out a breath you hadn't realised you were holding. König turned to you, his eyes softening as he took your hand. "Are you alright?"

You nodded, squeezing his hand in return. "Yeah. It could've gone worse." He gave you a small, reassuring smile. "They'll come around."

"Maybe," you said, leaning into him slightly. "But even if they don't, we'll figure it out. Together." He nodded, pulling you close. "Together," he echoed. And as you stood there, the two of you alone in the room that had just moments ago been filled with so much tension, you felt a sense of calm wash over you.

A/N: fixed my writing style so...I hope you enjoyed?

[themasterofo]

To My Readers

Please bear with me while I take a somewhat more serious tone today. I've been wanting to write something like this for a while now, and finally got to putting my thoughts down.

I have always kept an eye on you readers who like and reblog my stories, and it has not gone unnoticed that, in addition to girls who more-or-less match the submissive female character I write, many of my readers are lesbian, or trans, or even sub men. Some of you I've chatted with in the past, even to the point of giving permission to rewrite my stories, altering some preferred biology and/or gender details.

I dislike virtue signaling for its own sake. I find a lot of it distasteful and self-serving, but I also know that statements of support can mean a lot to people who may not be sure that they are welcome. So it's in that spirit that I did decide to write this.

Assuming you are an adult, and that you are not a predator, you are welcome here.

Whether Dom(me) or sub, whether male, female, or anything else, and whatever genitals or body you were born with or have managed to make for yourself, you are welcome here.

I write about denial from my particular perspective, which includes my own sexuality, orientation, and gender. In my mind, the man in my stories is me, and the girl is an afab girl. Because of this, you'll hear talk about his cock, her cunt, and things like this. But, if that doesn't match you, and you still want to read, and if you identify with any part of my writing, you have my absolute blessing to take whatever liberties you wish in your own mind. Not that you needed my permission, but maybe for some it might help.

To be clear, for my own part, I'm not really interested in interacting sexually with sub men, or with girls who don't match the physical type of person that I'm attracted to (girls with a cunt). I don't mean any offense here and I hope that none is taken. For me, life is too short to do anything other than follow what makes you feel authentically happy, and that's part of what does. But it costs me nothing to accept the gender or sexuality that someone identifies with themselves, and I consider it a matter of kindness and decency to do so.

But I am also happy to chat with anyone in about denial and so forth, as long as there is respect and if I have the time (the latter being a larger issue these days!)

So in summary, welcome. If you're a sub, I hope you find inspiration here, and I hope you can learn to edge more and cum less, if you agree with me that this is what's probably best for you. If you're a Dom(me), I hope you enjoy the stories and maybe get some inspiration and ideas to take responsibly to the sub(s) in your life. I tell sub girls they don't have my permission to cum when reading my blog, but if that doesn't resonate with you - you do you. And if you want to imagine that my Dom character is a woman, or that the sub character has a cock, or whatever else will make bring you some happiness, just do it.

chubby!reader × Donnie? he gets a tad bit flustered? maybe a bit of a spicy peice? praise kink🙏🙏🙏🙏

-👾🐈‍⬛️

already writing limes in the sfw blog, are we ?

jules fears NOTHING !!

i love writing this kind of content anyway >:)

if you wanted something higher on the citrus scale i shall direct you to my other blog, @fungalittlefreak where you could get even more specific with whatever you desire !!

i initially wanted to make this longer but i'm swamped with so many things to do, might have a part two if there's demand for it.

one chubby reader x flustered donnie coming right up B)

thank you for the request anon <3

important side note: while i don't deem this as "mature content" i feel more comfortable if anyone 15+ could interact with this post, otherwise please don't read or interact. while i can't force you not to, i hope anyone below 15 years old could respect my wishes.

May I?

It's movie night in the Hamato household and you're invited! April said you didn't have a choice, so here you are contemplating on wearing something comfortable or something cute.

Delivered (18:42 PM): is this too much? i'm bringing a change of clothes because i'm sleeping over

apes (18:42 PM): oooo who are you trying to impress

apes (18:42 PM): god i hope it's not leo

apes (18:42 PM): you deserve better

You shake your head, grinning at your phone as you send your last message to April.

Delivered (18:43 PM): i'll never tell :)

You finish getting ready and grab your overnight bag, heading over to the lair. The clattering and chattering in the kitchen tells you that the brothers would be in there, but you spot Donnie alone on his phone in the projection room. He seems comfortable enough not to wear his battle shell, which you find surprising. You take a step toward him and he looks up, turning to you as you put your stuff down beside the couch. He stops, staring while you move to sit beside him, even though you already greeted him, waiting for his response.

"Uh, yes. H-hello. Greetings. Good evening."

He looks away, then looks at you out of the corner of his eye. You grin and lean in with a smirk. He blushes, then a nervous smile plasters itself on his face. "D-do you need anything from me?" Donnie asks politely, but his eyes darted everywhere, scanning you as if he is committing the way you look right now to memory.

"A kiss might be nice."

The softshell freezes and it looks like his brain is malfunctioning, his face warming at the thoughts racing through his mind.

"May I?"

He reaches up to cup your soft face in his hand. His fingers twitch as if he's holding himself back from holding you firmly. You nod with a whispered yes, leaning in for a delicate, soft kiss. The softshell perks up and a dopey smile spreads across his face after you part, then he leans in for a deeper kiss, the heat on both your faces burning a little hotter.

"Your lips taste so good," Donnie breathes, threading his fingers through your hair at the base of your skull, holding you close as the two of you made out on the couch. "So sweet for me..." He whines, his blush darkening his face even more while he reaches for you with his other hand, holding you against him. His fingers knead the plushness above your hip for a moment, the hitching in his breath apparent. After another minute or so the two of you officially part, noticing the lair has gotten quiet.

You turn around to find nearly everyone with their jaws dropped to the floor, eyes boggled. Donnie sneers, wrapping an arm around your waist to hold you against him possessively. The way his hand grips your tummy made you yelp, feeling embarrassed now that the two of you were caught. April snaps a picture, Leo snickers, Mikey cheers, and Raph narrows his eyes in suspicion, then smiles, proceeding to whack Leo upside the head before he moves over to tease Donnie. The Caseys walk in with two bowls of popcorn, Junior has a knowing look on his face while CJ looked on in confusion to the commotion. You sigh with a grin, shaking your head and relaxing in Donnie's arms as movie night started to kick off.

🦂A small vent, but I'll delete it later...Lately, it has become more and more difficult to find content on blitznut for blitznut blog, because there simply is not one (and I am the only one who tries to make content, but I simply burn out mentally because of my studies)...You know, blitznut posts somehow gain 20 notes (about a week for sure), but as soon as I mention blitzbee, there are 50 notes right there, which is a shame that people like this post just because they see the hashtag blitzbee....I know that some blitzbee fanatics (there is no claim to adequate ones) bullied other fans because of their preference for other pairing ... and you understand that bullying does not lead to anything good (someone leaves the fandom, and someone deletes their social networks)

🦂There was a tfrarepairingfest in October, and I wanted to participate in it, but despite the fact that I stayed at home for 2 weeks, I slowly burned out because of my studies (and then I couldn't even bring myself to do my homework, because I'm afraid of making a mistake)

🦂I condemn any harassment and shipper warriors...I wrote this post to vent my despair, not only because there is little content on blitznut, but also because of moral burnout (and there will be a birthday on the 17th)....I respect all of you (and I don't care who), so please don't conflict (I have problems with nerves). I hug you all and wish you a good day💛

🦂I am ready to listen to your wishes, but please do not be aggressive (be tolerant ≠ bullying other people)

CW: this is about hatemail and we are snarky about it.

We made this blog because we want everyone to feel welcome. If you have a problem with our blog, please just block us. We won't be mad.

Friends! Guess what!? We got our very first Anti-endo hatemail! They told us to stop using the traumagenic tags and we are the reason people hate Endos. Lmao.

We would like to take this opportunity to reiterate.

Everyone. Is. Welcome. Here.

We will use tags for both traumagenic and endogenic systems. Because we are Inclusive.

Anyone who whinges about this will immediately be blocked. This is a safe space for everyone.

Below is a set of instructions on how to curate your Tumblr Experience.

Everyone deserves to know our blog exists, and everyone has the right to submit their daily moments to our blog. If I don't tag traumagenic then traumagenics won't know our blog exists.

Psst, we're traumagenic too. We deserve to take up space in the tags that apply to us.

If you would like to no longer see posts from Plurality is Mundane. You can block the

#Plurality is Mundane

and/or

#Mundane Plurality

tags respectively. We try to tag all our posts with those.

Dont come crying to us because you refuse to curate your own online experience. Not our problem!

Now, if you don't know how to blocklist tags please allow us to show you through a series of screenshots. If you are using a screen reader, I am also writing out these instructions, step by step.

First you go to YOUR blog and locate the gear ⚙️ icon in the upper right corner of your screen.

Next, you will see the first section titled Account Settings

Click that.

You are now in the Settings Menu.

Near the bottom you will find a section titled Content You See.

Click on that.

I have a bunch of political BS in my Filtered Content. Plus some anti-endo stuff.

In the upper right corner of this screen is a button that says +New clicking this will bring up a pop-up where you can type the tag you wish to filter.

In this case you may wish to type Plurality is Mundane or Mundane Plurality.

You do this one tag at a time, clicking +New for each tag you wish to block.

If you scroll down, you will also see a section for Filtered Post Content, which blocks keywords in the text body. Our posts don't usually contain keywords like that, but you may wish to add this.

But a better alternative to this would be simply to block our blog. You are very much welcome to do that.

Simply click the three dots next to our username on our posts and it will bring up a menu. At the bottom it will say Block [Username] in red text.

Anonymous asked: this is why we can’t have nice things.. [redacted]

Speaking of 'this is why we can't have nice things', Anon...

I've closed my inbox to anonymous asks.

Congratulations Anon. After four and a half years of taking anonymous questions from people, yours was the proverbial final straw that broke the horse's back, or whatever that saying is.

Copious swearing under the cut. Prepare yourself for the sound of branches cracking and breaking in the storm.

I can't even begin to imagine why you'd think that is something I would want to see. What the actual fuck? Did it not occur to you that that might be extremely homophobic and distressing for me to see?

I don't know what part of "I don't want to hear any more of this" people don't understand but FFS, I just can't do this anymore.

I'm not here to explain, coddle, comfort or commiserate over hateful statements and badly photoshopped BS toxics are sharing on Twitter, nor am I here to compensate for people's unwillingness to curate their online experience. If I wanted to deal with Twitter BS, I'd be on Twitter.

I'm not here to be a social crutch, either. If a reader has a question about something someone posts on Twitter, they should ask them. They shouldn't come to my blog and send me an anonymous message asking me what someone else meant!

I cannot believe the sheer volume of both of these kinds of asks I get.

THERE IS A REASON I AM NOT ON TWITTER

I take curating my online experience extremely seriously, and I purposely block and avoid all of the worst toxic shit. Especially Twitter, which is a raging cesspool. What point is there in me doing all of that if I can't avoid it anyway because people bring it to my inbox?!?

At the risk of putting my foot in my mouth like WWX, I have to ask, "Who raised you people?"

This all strikes me as really basic stuff, here. Take a few seconds before you send an ask, and reflect!!

Is this something that belongs on another platform? Is there a really good reason why I'm bringing it to this platform?

Is this something rainbowsky wants to hear about?

Is this something rainbowsky has repeatedly, repeatedly told people not to fucking send?

Is this something I should be handling myself by simply blocking and ignoring the person who posted it? Do I really want to play the role of spreading toxic, fucked up lies and garbage farther and wider than where I found it?

Is rainbowsky the right person to ask about this, or should I be asking the person who posted it?

Do I really need to be anonymous for this? Why can't I message rainbowsky privately, or reply in the comments of a post? Why do I want to hide my identity for this simple question or comment? How does being anonymous impact any relationship building or community building that could be happening?

Have I considered rainbowsky's feelings and experience in all of this?

If I haven't taken some basic steps to make this a collaborative, positive, community building experience for rainbowsky, why should he want to post my ask on his blog?

From now on if somebody has a question for me they can damn well do it off Anon. If you don't want me to publish your name say so in your ask and I will respect your wishes, but I will know who you are and you will be accountable to me for what you send. End of fucking story.

Sorry for the bitchiness, please don't take it too personally. I am just really at the end of my tether. My life is stressful enough as it is without having to deal with stuff like this.

||Final words from the owner of the Silver rose Estate mansion of 2024||

Very insightful discourse on this topic. There are equally amazing perspectives shared on this in my Ask box but I am not going to publish them because I want to have a thread where it's easier to follow the discussion on particular topics

Should I private the thread now or leave it???

In fact I wish I could screenshot everything and save it in my personal folder that's how much I enjoyed the discussion and especially the perspectives in my Ask box

1. Some one mentioned how they thought Tae was just trolling which I think was interesting. Tae can troll but I think what that comes down to is censorship of Jungkook more so than anything.

And I agree with the person who said he was just urging Jimin on and probably contributed to Jimin feeling some type of way about certain situations. I think so too. So I totally agreed with that

What else?

Oh the person who said they didn't understand what the thread was about. It's me giving yall a prompt so we all share our thoughts on it in one post via comments rather than post several comments on a topic an different blog posts.

I find it hard to navigate my blog that way as I'm broaching 2000 blog posts on this account 💀

So if threads work for all of us then threads shall stay

Please set up a burner account if you don't want to use your maim pages to interact with my threads.

And feel free to leave you questions on a topic under a thread I'll respond in the comments under your comment because I'm actually active in the comments now and barely check other windows

This was fun let's do it again

Next thread will be AYS episode 1 then we will move to 2 and 3 and so on. So go back and watch the episode and come back with your thoughts

The only rule is no fighting in the threads and let's keep it respectful. It's only us no outsider allowed and I will delete comments that are unnecessarily aggressive or trolling🙃🤭

Did I mention this is fun???

I want to bring popcorn and drinks for every body

Love you love us love jikook for us🤣

About the COD fandom. I just came across a fic that was labelled 16+ yet it was explicitly porn! The blog was something like "Coquette" or whatever with no age in their bio. And I swear you can't explain to these kids WHY you have to label shit appropriately because they just don't get it. One has to state it's 18+ because if you brazenly let minors view explicit content, YOU (in general) can get into major shit.

There are too many minors in the fandom. Too many blogs writing and liking fics with no age in their bios. I remember when teens were told to shut the fuck up in fandoms, at least when they tried to encroach on the 18+ side of it. Yes I am old and yelling at the clouds lol

Oh and I've seen "AKCHULLY Price would date an 18-year-old! He would so nah nah! He's not real so I can write what I want!" Write what you want but it's still gross. Especially because they really make a point of bringing up an age gap. there are alarming pedophilic themes in said fics of price fucking/dating 18-year-olds.

"Controversial young reader!" has 11k notes. "DBF Price/Simon/Konig" and the fics are revolting in nature because the reader is heavily implied to be young and very inexperienced and not in an "I have no interest in this shit" kind of way.

TLDR it's like fics are being written by minors, for minors. Just seems that way...

There's a meme w this same format that goes ''I wish all minors a very get off my blog'' but I can't find it bfehbjefbjhfe

YES!! istg it's always the coquette lana del rey stan girlies who are into weirdly pedophilic things. It's even worse when they're actual adults purposely targeting minors with NSFW content, such as saying Price would date a barely legal girl or wait until she turns 18 to date her like... are you insane? fejnfejhbh This man would definitely want someone around his own age OR with at least a fully developed brain. Sure, everyone can write whatever they want, but people can also talk about it when you're making these men straight up predators.

HEAVY on the too many minors in the fandom, TikTok viralized the masked men and now you have minors commenting sexual things on the media of cosplayers or people who simply like tactical gear. Not to mention they RARELY respect a ''MDNI'', saying things like ''oh but I turn 18 in 2 years'' hbfehjbef PLEASE. And I get it, I've been on many different fandoms ever since I was like 11, I understand wanting to interact with creators and their content— but at the very least respect what they ask if they don't want to interact with minors.

That goes to the other point of kids developing parasocial relationships with the VAs. God, the comment section of the VAs is pure nightmare fuel full of kids saying they're gonna marry them one day or straight up commenting weird sexual things to people who are in their 30s. It's WEIRD, especially because it's so painfully obvious the parasocial relationship they develop is fully one-sided 😭 like why are you commenting how much you want to fuck this married 40-year-old man with kids on a post with his WIFE? Not to mention the hate people close to them get, such as Alain's girlfriend.

I have a small series of DBF!Keegan, but I imagine the reader to be at least in her mid-20s rather than an 18-year-old (or even younger, I've seen some DBF stuff making the reader a minor). It's honestly a bit bizarre to see ADULTS making pedophilic/predatory content targeting a young audience bfehbjfewl

Somebody is taking requests I see! (All of my favorite blogs have requests closed ) I'm in hard times, but enough of me I wanna request something obviously

Could I please have a S/O that has a personality like Elysia from Honkai Impact 3rd? If you don't know Elysia's personality very well I'm here to help!

Basic information about her: Elysia is an elegant, cheerful, and sweet lady who's described as someone who "enjoys everything". Also likes to interacting with people and is very good at it.

Sorry forgot the people with Fuyuhiko, Kazuichi and NAGITO + gundam tanaka if you could add him but I don't want to overwhelm you so take your time! :)

Take care and love yourself and love what you do bye bye~ 🦋 also eat a nice meal and drink water all the way! sorry if this to long

Fuyuhiko, Kazuichi, Nagito, and Gundham x Reader like Elysia.

Sorry this took for ever just haven't had any motivation to write but here you go. -mod shi

At first Fuyuhiko was standoff is when you met, him not being the most talkative but after getting to know each other he asks you out! and of course you say yes to this

of course Fuyuhiko shows you his gang and makes sure they all treat you with respect as they should the future wife of the future head of the Yakuza.

You and Peko get along amazingly.

After Peko decided you are not a threat and gets to know you she warms up and will tell you embarrassing things Fuyuhiko did, (but only when he's not around)

obviously your wedding was amazing and so wonderful

though you did have to be careful that no rival gangs attacked.

you two are so happy with each other, and you show Fuyuhiko so many other hobby that the two of you can do together.

At first Kazuichi was very nervous around you since your so outgoing but after time, you get him to open up

You help him get out of his shell

you also help him get over Sonia and he later realizes he has feeling for you!

of course he tries to make the most romantic date to ask you out, and it goes...

decently well

you two are dating now

you love listening to him talk about his mechanics and help him test stuff

he also loves listening to what you're interested in!

He super nervous when he asks you to marry him

You can kinda get the feeling for what's he's planning so you just try and encourage him and help him along.

of course when he does ask you say yes and both of you are happily wed.

Kazuichi and you are always so happy to be with each other.

Nagito tries to above you at first him knowing what he feels and not wanting you to get affected by his luck

you on the other hand want to help him he always seems so distant

so you keep trying to talk to him and eventually Nagito gives up and let's you in, you and him are friends

Then of course after hanging out he confesses his feeling for you

you of course say yes you love him

you always spend time with Nagito when he's in the hospital

Nagito does tell you he wants to marry you, but he doesn't want to burden you with all his problems

you of course tell him he's not a burden and you want to spend the rest of your life with him to!

so the two of you get married and it's such a happy event

Nagito loves trying new things with you, you always find ways to surprise him and it's so wonderful how you bring hope to him.

You and Gundham hit it off right when you meet he's so ready to share his love of animals

and you love showing him all that you love! he's always willing to listen to you!

He teaches you so many things about animals and how to take care of them and of course his dark arts

you also teach him lots of things about the stuff you love!

eventually Gundham asks you out! you tell him Yes! you'd love to be his girlfriend!

Gundham is very affectionate with you and you both love each other so much

you are the princess that will free him from his curse. And his Bride if you show wish and you do wish! you two love each other so much!

you always take care of each other no matter what<3

☆~☆ (Finally) ☆~☆

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Um, hello, my name is Remus (my actual name, not a nickname), I thought I'd FINALLY make an introduction for this account so you can know a bit about to dumbass behind the posts:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

☆Blog info- I mainly post about Arcane here, though I will never EVER post spoilers before the show is released, and once it is out, everything will be labelled as S2 spoilers for ONE MONTH!!! As well as that, I post about other fandoms I'm in, as well as my little thoughts about life that I post under the tag "#remus rambles".

☆Nicknames- Remy, Re, Ratman. (Side note, I love nicknames, so I love when people give me nicknames, as long as they're fun and respectful)

☆Pronouns/identity/etc- He/they, transmasc nonbinary (questioning), bi, ace

☆Age- 18

☆Languages/etc- I'm British and I do only speak English fluently I'm afraid, but I'm trying to learn Norwegian!!

☆Likes/interests- ARCANE (current hyperfixation), The Owl House, Gravity Falls, MCR, Spiderman, women, Greek mythology, BATS AND SHARKS, Metal and Goth music, Vi from Arcane, women, creating clothes and fashion, The Marauders (not JK, I'm trans, I do not support her), women especially Vi, Hades game, David Bowie, Queen, and lots LOTS more (and did I mention women?)

☆Dislikes/fears/phobias- bugs, conversations about death/life after death (like I have serious thanataphobia, so please don't bring it up), transphobes, homophobes, ableists, general assholes, Nickleback, heavy political talk in my safe space (aka on my tumblr page, where I tend to go to get away from all of that for a bit), general shittiness of life.

☆DNI- if you are any of the above/ will focus on any of the above, if you will be unkind towards others for their fandom opinions (fandoms are meant to be a safe space for everyone to share), if you do not enjoy swearing because I swear a LOT, if you support the use of AI in any context (I am avidly against AI and do not tolerate it at all, im more than happy to explain why), or if you are a Trump supporter or anything like that 👍

☆Other things to know about me- I am disabled and autistic, a wheelchair user and a very proud rat dad. I am always, ALWAYS open to hearing people out if they genuinely wish to educate me as to why some of my views may not be fully considerate of others as long as you are respectful in the way you educate me (often the case when it comes to my white privilege and a lot of things I am still learning)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Other than all that, welcome, feel free to hang around, feed the tism (pop something in my ask box), etc etc. This is a safe space!!!

Cormac Said

Insert with: Ruhn Danaan

Reader: Female (she/her)

Words: 2300+

About: Apparently, Cormac has been saying all sorts of things about Ruhn…

Warning(s): XOVER! (Lucifer Season 6 spoilers! Jsyk)

A/N: Day Two of Ruhn Week 2024! The prompt is "Crown Prince". @ruhnweek New stories all week! NOTE: I’ve become obsessed with this crackship between Ruhn Danaan and Rory Morningstar from Lucifer. Yes, it came from a long story idea that yes, you’ll see on this blog in the coming months. So here’s a sort of teaser for that.

The after-effects of a frat party left the house in a haze. Lights danced across the walls, but the music had long been turned down as the energy lowered into a gentle sway.

Bryce, fueled by too-much mirthroot and righteous indignation, however, found herself locked in a heated debate with Flynn's lack of respect for females. "You," she began, her words slurring slightly as she pointed accusingly, "don't know the first thing about how to treat us. You use these parties like a bloody meat market."

Flynn, ever the skeptic, scoffed. "Why would any guy willingly subject himself to the friend zone?"

A whistle cut through the air, drawing everyone's attention to the entrance where Cormac Donall sauntered towards the group, a mischievous grin on his face as he draped an arm around a dark-eyed female. Declan immediately disappeared upstairs, removing himself from the headache.

"This is Aurora," Cormac announced, his tone laced with amusement at their previous conversation. "My friend."

Despite a wish to be polite for the new guest, Ruhn's anger flared as he watched his cousin slump into a seat. "What are you doing here?"

Cormac flashed him a cocky grin, unfazed by the hostility. "Just thought I'd grace you all with my presence," he smirked.

Bryce rolled her eyes. "Well, you can take your presence elsewhere.”

Aurora shot Cormac a withering look as she perched on the arm of his seat. "Do you always bring the party down, Cormac?" she teased.

"Door’s that way."

“I'm not here for you, Athalar," he replied, his gaze flickering to Aurora beside him. "I've got more interesting company."

“Flattery will get you nowhere," she shot back.

Ruhn glanced at her. It was clear the pair were close, but she didn’t seem like his type.

Cormac raised an eyebrow at her, a smug grin on his lips. "Where’s the fun in that?"

Ruhn clenched his jaw, struggling to contain his frustration. Bryce beat him to words. "You weren't invited, Donall," she snapped. "You can't just show up wherever you please."

He leaned back in his seat. "It's part of my charm,” he said for his guest's benefit.

"Oh, that’s not charm," she muttered, not bothering to cover her tone.

"Careful, sweetheart."

The newcomer rolled her eyes, unpeturbed. Ruhn caught his sister’s glance. She was thinking the same thing he was.

Bryce leaned in towards Aurora. "I like you," she said. “Why are you with him?”

"Wouldn't want to hurt that fragile ego of his." Aurora shot an teasing chuckle over her shoulder at the male, whose golden gaze seared into her.

“Why don’t you make yourself useful and get me a drink?” he sneered.

She didn’t even blink. “Get it yourself. I’m making new friends.” But she did smile at Hunt as he folded over in laughter.

Cormac’s hands grabbed her thighs and yanked her down into this lap. With lips at her ear but a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, he says, “I can think of other ways you could use that mouth.”

She elbowed him in the ribs.

Cormac grunted at the blow. "Watch it, you half-breed bitch.”

"You can’t talk to her like that." Bryce snapped, mirthroot anger boiling.

"Mind your business, Bryce.”

Bryce's eyes flashed feral, but Aurora waved her down as she rose from her seat. “Save your breath. I’m only half angel,” she added, sitting down next to Ruhn. He draped his arm across the back of the seat to make room for her.

“You’re an angel?” Hunt asked, suddenly sober.

“Half,” the new female repeated. “And half human.”

The group exchanged surprised glances. Cormac blew out a frustrated breath, the air whistling across the tip of his bottle.

Bryce eyed her. "Where are your wings?" she asked under her breath, like it was a big secret.

Aurora smiled. "I keep them hidden away.”

“You can hide your wings?" Hunt asked her, his eyes trailing her torso like he expected a pull-string to unravel them.

"You can’t?” she asked, but her tone dismissed any more conversation about it.

Ruhn leaned in closer, addressing the new brunette for the first time. "Where are you from?" he asked.

Cormac let out a breathy growl. “Fucking far away,” he said, and then emptied his half-full beer into his mouth.

Aurora laughed at his reaction. “Sure, yeah. Let’s go with that answer.” She shook her head at the blond, and then turned back to Ruhn. “Not Lunathion,” she confirmed with a smile.

Cormac's gaze lingered on Aurora as she spoke, a flicker of something behind it. Ruhn noticed it through the corner of his eye.

"Well, I think the lady needs a drink," Flynn slurred, instantly changing the energy of the group. He struggled to get up, his movements unsteady from the sheer number of drinks he'd had. Frankly, it was surprising he was still awake.

Ruhn stepped in before Flynn could embarrass himself further. "I'll get it," he said, standing up and offering a hand to Aurora. She took it and followed him away from the others.

The kitchen was empty save for the remnants of a success party. Ruhn snagged the last bottle from the fridge and offered it to Aurora, which she accepted. She was perched against the counter, watching him as he rolled a new mirthroot joint. He noticed as her dark eyes trailed his long hair that brushed the tattoos on his arm.

"So, you're the other prince," she said. It wasn’t a question.

Ruhn paused, then took a drag of the joint before replying. "Not if I could help it."

"You don't want to be?" That was a question.

He wasn’t sure he wanted to talk about it with a stranger, nevermind a friend of his cousin’s.

Aurora smiled at his hesitation. "Cormac was right about you," she said.

Ruhn coughed on a draw, smoke burst unceremoniously in the air. "Oh, this I gotta hear," he grumbled.

"Sounds like you wouldn't believe me even if I told you."

That was probably true.

Aurora snickered. "He said you'd be the one to change things."

"You're right. I don't believe you," Ruhn snorted.

Aurora shrugged, unbothered. "Well, maybe you'll believe that it makes him crazy," she offered. "He wants his life to mean something, too."

Her eyes grew distant, and Ruhn studied her. She enjoyed drawing this out, and he wasn’t sure he minded. "How do you know Cormac?" he asked.

"Same reason he came here.”

"What? You want to demand Bryce's engagement, too?" Ruhn retorted.

"Fucking coward," She hissed in a frustrated sigh. Then softened, considering her words. "I'd kick his ass if he told my story, so I'm not gonna tell you his. But you should talk to your cousin."

Ruhn's mood deflated further. "Can't wait," he muttered.

Aurora's gaze softened as she defended Cormac, albeit quietly. "Contrary to popular belief, he’s not that bad."

"Right. And I'm a wingless angel," he scoffed. Aurora laughed.

Ruhn had the words to dismiss her outright on the tip of his tongue. But there was something in Aurora's eyes, a sincerity that made him pause. Maybe, just maybe, she saw something in Cormac that he couldn’t. Or maybe she was just as crazy as Cormac. Either way, Ruhn found himself watching her through the corner of his eye.

"You mentioned your father," Ruhn said, changing the subject. "Is he the angel or the human?"

"Angel. Sort of," she added under her breath.

"Sort of?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

“He’s an angel,” Aurora said quickly, stumbling on her words, like she wasn’t quite sure what to say. "It’s just, he’s not always considered one? I guess we’re just not like the angels around here."

"The retractable wings is proof of that," Ruhn pointed out.

Aurora’s brown eyes met his gaze, curious and earnest. "Angels here really can't sheath their wings?" she asked. "I assumed it was a choice."

Ruhn took a moment to exist under her gaze, feeling a wave of emotions come over him. Her big, brown eyes were warm and comforting, the honest curiosity sparkling in them as she awaited his response. He could see she genuinely valued his opinion, wanted to hear his thoughts. It didn’t matter that he was a perfect stranger. It was a nice feeling, but it also made him uneasy. He was enjoying her company more than he had anticipated.

"No, they can't," he answered finally.

He thought about asking her where she came from again. He’d never heard of an angel who could fully sheath their wings. Part of him wondered if she was lying about having them. Like, maybe she was ashamed they’d been cut off.

Instead, Ruhn leaned beside her, and settled on a more innocent question. "What brings you here, to Lunathion?"

Aurora took a sip of her beer, her eyes glancing back towards their abandoned group on the couches outside the kitchen. Cormac cheers-ed her from his seat as he returned a particularly sharp snip at something Hunt had said. Their heated debate echoed into the quiet kitchen. "Oh, just a little bit of trouble."

"Trouble, huh? Well, you definitely found that with Cormac."

She looked up at Ruhn. "Yeah, he has that way about him, doesn’t he? I mean, I knew that, but, wow." She laughed on the last word, shaking her head.

Ruhn blew out smoke. "How did you two end up friends? You seem too… level-headed to put up with his crap."

“Like I said, you should talk to your cousin,” she repeated, taking a sip. “His delivery is terrible, for sure, but… He wants to change things. And he’s always there for the people he cares about. He’s a jackass, but he’s a good guy."

Ruhn had never seen any version of his cousin that would warrant such loyalty. It made her all the more interesting.

"What about you?" she asked, turning both her body and the conversation back to him. "What’s your story, Prince Ruhn? What do you want to change?"

Ruhn sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I just… I want to earn my place, y’know? I never asked to be a prince.” And he wanted it on his own terms, without his father looming over him with puppet strings.

“It’s not easy to step out of the shadows of our parents, especially when they cast such long ones."

Ruhn studied her. "Spoken like somebody who knows.”

Aurora shrugged. "My father cast shadows over me my entire life. Even though he wasn’t in it.”

Ruhn couldn’t tell if that was a good thing or bad thing.

“Your father’s the Autumn King, right?”—He froze. Oh, no, he thought.—“What would you change as king?” she asked.

That was not in the direction he thought this was going. He hadn’t thought about that in a long time, and he couldn’t remember the last time he’d done so seriously. Back when he still wanted the role. “I don’t want to be king. I’d give it up.”

“Oh?” Her eyebrow shot up and brown eyes glittered.

“What, Cormac said differently?” Ruhn said, a little annoyed they’d been talking about him.

There was a beat of silence.

“Technically, my father’s a king,” she said.

Again, not what he thought she’d say.

She continued, “His empire… If anything were to happen to him—God forbid—it would become mine. It’s an important job, keeping everything running smoothly down there. And I’d get to see my mom. And sister. But…” Her eyes flickered inside the realm of thoughts, before she returned to reality and met his gaze. “There’s no power in it. I’d been Queen, but I couldn’t actually change anything. That kingdom will always be what it is.

From what I understand, the Autumn King has power. Yeah, we all answer to someone else, but you would be making laws, enforcing treaties, forcing change. You’d have actual power! You could change the things in this world that aren’t fair, that are cruel or outdated or…” She drew in a breath and slowed down. “I won’t pretend to understand why you feel that way about your title. But I wouldn’t be so quick to throw it all away. I’d be damn sure you don’t want to change anything.”

A part of him felt a little insulted. Like she’d scolded him for being a rotten child. But a larger part of him was caught in the current of her words, as the wave washed over him and soothed his open sores on the subject. He hadn’t felt in control of his life much at all. Certainly not under his father’s thumb. His mother, despite her archaic pride in continuing the royal line, was an equally balming presence as Aurora, and he felt his anger give way underneath her warm gaze.

Aurora twitched in the silence. “No judgment,” she piped up. “I’m just saying.”

"You’re not what I expected when you walked in with Cormac." Ruhn said.

"Oh?" Aurora arched an eyebrow, laughing. "And what did you expect?"

Ruhn waved a hand, shying away from that question. It’s better he didn’t say anything. With one glance at her face, though, it was clear Aurora knew exactly what he meant.

Instead, he said, "You’re not like anyone I’ve ever met."

"I’m gonna take that as a compliment."

"It is," Ruhn assured her. "You’re… refreshing."

She titled her head, studying him. "You’re not so bad yourself. Prince,” added with a teasing smile.

Ruhn cringed under the title, and the brunette laughed. He said, “If you ever need anything, you can find me."

Aurora’s eyes twinkled at him. "Cormac said that, too."
