#reincarnated guardians au

[silver-fire-wolf-pokemon-lover]

Sooo Ive been working on a new pokemon rottmnt au!

Basics of it is that the bad time line turtles souls are nabbed by arceus and put in new younger bodies in the pokemon world. Now because it would be wrong to make them human but also wrong to make them still earth turtles Arceus makes them mutant pokemon. Arceus tasks them with travling/watching over ash aka his chosen one...mikey was made the same age as ash and naturally the twins were made a year older than him and raph 2 years older than mikey.

But Arceus didnt get rid of any of their scars they got before death...only the ones that would signal that they had died. Also dropped off all their clothes next to them and uh... after some work around they managed to waddle into Pallet town and got found by professor Oak.

This is what they looked like when he found them.

Notes for the au

Arceus didnt really give them a known past for how they were mutants in the pokemon world. He also didnt change the fact their dads dna was used to mutate them...so they have a human who doesnt exsist heres dna...one from an ancient ninja clan at that.

They are immune to pokeballs (and hunter J thing) this is becaise they are mutants they actually lack the two reasons that pokemon can be caught in pokeballs and it throws off J's machine cause its not meant for humans.

Yes they wear clothes as kids/teens unlike their previous lives. They kinda are part of scociety here as weird as that makes them feel. (Hey pokemon are weird and humans mostly roll with things in the pokemon world)

Ill make another post about them getting starters n stuff but I wanna draw how they look at that point and with their starters...and some explinations because people will want those seeing them.

[silverfirewolfsurtleaus]

Annnd back with more for this au!

Specifically my promise of how the boys look whrn they start travling with ash...and them with their starters!

Now yes Im aware that none of their starters are the Kanto starters. Im also aware that the begining of the anime happens around when gen 1 was the only one out and they were plotting gen 2 BUT! This is an au taking place 9 gens later with all of them being turtles from diffrent gens I think I can bend the rules here.

Now why I chose ehat I did as their starters and how they got them. Now being diffrent ages (except Donnie and Leo) they all got their starters at diffrent times and will go in order of age

Raph and Litten: I chose Litten because Incinaroar is very much wrestling thing and Raph being highly invested with wrestling would deffinatly pick one as his starter if he had the ability to! Plus having a partner he doesnt have to worry about rough housing with would probably be a relife. (I know he could rough house with most if not all of them but Incinaroar seemed like the best one to do that with.)

Prof. Oak probably pulled some strings and got paper work together for the boys to have nonkanto starters because the boys admitted it felt wrong to have Kanto starters. He kinda agreed with Leo being well a squirtle. It probably took a lot of phone calls and paper work for him and them to get these 4 nonkanto starters in Kanto.

Leo and Sprigatito: like raph I chose because of Sprigatitos final evo invoking something leo's intrested in. In this case its Leo's love of magic and magicians. Meowscarada is very much a jester/magician in design which fits with this. It also to some degree fits Leo's trickster nature as all is not what it seems with it. (Also yes I did give leo a female starter...but its because I spun a wheel and he got lucky all the rest of em got boys.)

Donnie and Popplio: honestly I had a bit of trouble choosing between popplio and the many grass type starters. Ultimatly I chose Popplio due to two reasons. Reason one is that popplio very much has an opera singer vibe after its a primarina which I thought fit with Donnie's theater kid vibes. The other of which is donnie is practical and a fire type who knows he wont always be with leo and raph (who are both water types) to put out fires...

Mikey and Fenniken: another tough decision mon for one of the turtles. I chose fenniken due to the fact its well based off wizards and stuff in its final evo and mikey is the most powerful mystic warrior. However this wadnt the only reason ultimatly you see several psychic type pokemon have been noted to read peoples emotions not just their minds, which people dont exactly think about their emotions so. Which I thought itd be cool if he got an empath Delphox as a partner.

Though uh yes they are a bit worried about the grass type turtle having a fire fox as a starter but relax by reminding themselves Mikey eventually will become a ground type...

And yes the boys themselves will eventually evolve, except donnie but hes a species that cant evolve, Raph will eventually be a shiny (yes he is shiny) Dreadnaw, Leo will eventually be a wartortle (and grab an everstone to not become blastoise), and Mikey will become a grottle then torterra. However when and why they evolve is diffrent...mikey takes the longest not cause hes the youngest but because he doesnt feel ready to evolve for the longest time...and yeah leo will never become a blastoise because being a wartortle of all pokemon species feels the most right to him...raph litterally cannot evolve beyond Dreadnaw so...

On that note yall remeber me mentioning they cant go in pokeballs? Yeah this means legally they cant usethemselves as pokemon in offical battles like gym battles turnament or even offical contest! If they want a pokemon of their own type to use in one they have to go catch one.

Now Im going to go work on the pokemon they are going to catch over this anime journy and why they were chosen and how they joined.

Also draw their looks for every region post Jhoto (not going to draw them post evolution because I like drawing them as a group for these sorts of things so its generally going to be a look change before next region...except Jhoto because it was post Jhoto when that trend started)

Ohhh tell me about God's Worst Angel , cause I just love that title

Yes! This is one of the few titles I'm very proud of as I feel it sums it up very well.

It's an AU I started writing based off a prompt I saw here on Tumblr one day that was: "Sometimes guardian angels don't always have a lovely singing voice and a set of fluffy wings, sometimes they have a deep frown on their face and a very bad attitude." Credit: @creativepromptsforwriting

So I took that as my inspo and just changed the second half: "Sometimes guardian angels don't always have a beautiful singing voice and a set of fluffy wings, sometimes they have a bad attitude and sad secrets."

That was the case for Lee Adama and his guardian angel Starbuck. 

***

It's a modern AU and reincarnation AU, also a soulmate AU if you really wanna get into it

Basically the main idea is this takes place like thousands of years after the end of Battlestar and Lee has been reincarnated. But Kara has not, she's still existing as an angel like she was at the end of the show. God or whatever higher being in charge of the angels gives her the task to be Lee's guardian angel and she is initially upset by that as she's still super hung up over him (her having not had the chance to reincarnate and have another chance at being with him yet has also left her kinda bitter) but she agrees anyway.

Being an angel that helps guide a human there are certain rules she needs to follow (like limited visits/only when he truly needs her help, not much physical contact, etc). but she tries to bend and break them, her feelings for Lee not helping her to take her job as seriously as she should and her personal feelings getting in the way (all the while Lee is oblivious as he doesn't have any recollection of his past life that had her in it).

God eventually gets to a point where he has had enough of her breaking the rules and he gives her the choice to choose between continuing to do so and not having the chance to reincarnate again for a very very very long time/to basically be stuck as only an angel or to actually follow the rules and finally get reincarnated within the next 500 years. All the while Lee has to try and figure out why his guardian angel is so damn familiar and why he cannot stop thinking about her no matter how hard he tries to distract himself.

Sorry if I went way too into explaining it I am very passionate about this wip because it's an excellent balance of humor and hurt and it's been very fun to write so far!

Title: By a Different Path

Co-authored with: @the-engdyssey

Summary: He picked up speed, his pace deliberate and brisk. It had been a few days since they'd seen each other, each across the expanse of their territory to deal with separation issues that had arisen. Not only that, the breeze brought whispers of fortune and promise. It tugged his fur like an impatient child, letting the tree branches groan their delight. A new mate.

not really a modern au but more like a weird future timeline thing where beach hermit maglor Hibernates™ all through the 2nd and 3rd ages & misses the last boats to Valinor.... thus resulting in him skulking about history until he ends up living among modern day humans haha?? the kicker is that he one day finds an abandoned baby thats all-too-suspiciously like a certain dead brother and becomes a single dad-younger brother-adopted guardian person...

i wrote a few pages of this back in 2022 but never really thought abt it further after i started posting less frequently hahaha.... heres just some feel good domestic sketches of this AU bc i miss drawing modern clothes 🤭 i have sooo many thoughts about it that i couldnt fit into these doodles !! its quite a lot of yapping so feel free to skip past the cut haha

assorted au thoughts:

i planned for maglor to eventually find all 6 of his brothers one by one through the power of Accidental Child Acquisition ✨ example: he'd spot a kid lurking around some woods near his home and eventually realise said wild child living amongst stray dogs is a bit too similar to celegorm

i just couldnt fit in the time to draw that this round... maybe next time!

though he's raising reincarnated-Maedhros, i think it makes more sense for him to give him a modern name and not explicitly call him Nelyo/Maitimo/Russandol just bc he'd not want to get his own hopes up or shove said identity onto the kid

(the occasional 'hey Nelyo' does slip out by accident from time to time however)

i think as Mae-the-kid grows up he will in time start to remember bits and pieces of his original identity? with the nicer familial things (like valinor, his brothers, feanor and nerdanel) first, and then the darker things (kinslayings, angband, war) once he's grown up that Maglor will struggle explaining or even helping him through

i promise this is a wholesome au 😭

side characters include a high-strung but good guy policeman named Officer Borden who's very suspicious of Maglor bc of all the random kids he keeps adopting.... and his younger brother Farren, who happens to be Maglor's scholarly coworker

as well as Maglor's next door neighbour Morgan, a witch-woman married to some guy named Hugh... she's got 3 kids who visit from time to time but from what Maglor's heard, the oldest son is followed by misfortune and has supposedly never met his youngest sister...?

How To Always Have Writing Ideas…

For A New Story:

1. Keep a list. Any time you have one of those sudden bursts of inspiration in the middle of writing a separate story, don’t quit your current WIP or pretend you’ll ‘just remember it’, put it into a separate list. You can always go back to this later on

2. Writing prompts. Look them up, use random word generators, pick a random object you can see, whatever helps you come up with any idea at all. Write a few paragraphs. Can it evolve from there?

3. People watch. Go to a public place and make up backstories for the strangers you come across. That man in the hat is using it to hide his elf ears. That woman with the bright pink hair didn’t dye it, she’s secretly the main character of an anime trying to dodge all the tropes and cliches. That toddler is actually a guardian angel reincarnated to watch over their new baby sibling. What brings them to this place? Where did they come from? Where are they going next?

To Continue An Existing Story:

1. Act it out. Say the words aloud, act out what your characters are doing, get props or people to act off of if you need to. See what feels like the most natural progression of the moment

2. Coffee shop AU, or other substitutional one-shot. Good for establishing dynamics between two or more characters, or even just working out a lone character’s day-to-day. Just write a few paragraphs about your characters entering a coffee shop or similar appropriate establishment/ordinary location. What do they do? What do they order to eat/drink? What do they say to each other? How do they treat the staff and other customers? If all else fails, write what they do after they leave, as if it were an ordinary day for them

3. Rubber duck it. This is something programmers use to work out where they went wrong in their code, but I’ve found it can work for figuring out story stuff as well. What you do is get a rubber duck, or any other object of focus, and start explaining your problem to it out loud. In this case you can read your chapter to the duck, or even give it the full run-down of the plot so far. Warning; side effects may include getting frustrated that the problem was right in front of you and subsequently throwing the duck

For Both:

1. Writing graveyards. I talked a bit about them in a previous post, but writing graveyards are basically just the folder you store your deleted scenes in instead of yeeting them into the void. Reread those, see if they have anything you can recontextualise or repurpose

2. Combine ideas. My WIP Byoldervine is a combination of two separate plots I had that I realised I’d be able to combine - twice. I first realised I could put together my ‘angel and demon heroes protecting humans from a war between heaven and hell’ story and my ‘quest through the fantasy realm to find the ingredients to a cure for a dying god’ story into the same universe as two sides of the same story as a duology. Then I realised I could just remove a few characters, tweak a few plot points and mash them completely together into one book. Combining them works wonders and minimises worldbuilding

3. Go out with friends or family. I guarantee that the one time you’ll be flooded with inspiration is when you don’t have an opportunity to write it down

1st Batch: the Inhabitants

[Blank Scripts AU (non-canonical)]

Multiple footsteps reverberated within the claustrophobic stairways of the Parable.

One strikingly beautiful old man elegantly struts up the stairs with a scowl on his face, having a heated one-sided discussion (lecture) with a poor stuttering businessman on his phone call.

The rest simply follow him, a group of special individuals who have come and now reside in this strange building for their own peculiar reasons. They don't quite understand many things about the workings of this place, but one thing is for certain.

Wherever the Narrator tells them to go, whatever he tells them to do, they comply.

BATCH LIST:

- [1st Batch: The Inhabitants] - [2nd Batch: The Janitors] - [3rd Batch: The Citizens] - [4th Batch: The Guardians]

↓ [Chatter and Credits below] ↓

-----------⟡

The first illustration is posted! [Yay!] There will be more coming soon!

I've decided to pair these characters together due to a single uniting trait they all shared. Being residents of the Parable! [Either as an NPC or as something else.]

I admit that I went in with a lot of confidence, thinking I would finish this illustration in just a day or two, and I got HUMBLED. Starting June 16th [the day after everyone's characters got submitted] I spent five days just drawing this one illustration alone. [I draw fast, I usually only spend a few hours on one drawing before moving on, so this was a challenging experience.]

There were many factors contributing to why it took me so long. Such as drawing blindly [not preparing before trying to render and failing at it], not using references, lack of experience drawing buildings from scratch, etc. [Okay, now I just sound like I'm making excuses but wow that was really hard HAHAHA I almost got art-block as a result!]

My grievances aside, I'm happy with the result!

Mell by @katkit-drops-alt

Her dress and concept are absolutely lovely!! I like how, despite how terrifying she may come off, she's ultimately still a girl with her own normal life to live [or whatever it is that's normal to her anyway.] Her silly farm boyfriend is cute too!

[unnamed character] by @rick-ety

Ahh this girl!! I'm interested in her! [I love character designs that look 'ghostly' or dead.] Her pretty long hair reminds me a lot of Sadako [that one ghost girl with long black hair covering her face...] Her poor limbs missing and the twist of her not dying simply because she's already dead ahhh!!! o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

Helena by @neat-o-things

A silly girl who died in the Parable as she was about to make it out then ended up getting reincarnated as an NPC, making maps for the Parable, not knowing why she's doing it or where she even is!!! Only that she feels like she should :). I hold her dearly.

Anika by @hyydrochloricacidd

Uwwaahh we have sisters!! Anika is so unnervingly tall and creepy, I love that seemingly doll-like look on her face. It feels very uncanny! I can't wait to draw her sister Anala soon.

Root by @therootthatquestiond

AHH a drawing in Roblox!! (p≧w≦q) I love Roblox, you did a really great job!! We appreciate our quiet guy Root. Praise Root.

so I’ve got two questions about your get better children AU I have a question, how did Scalene and Euclid react to find out that dipper and Maple’s parents are getting a divorce? Because in my opinion, I’m pretty sure they probably would’ve found out through Dipper? How do they feel about that? And two dipper and Mabel’s relationship throughout the last few episodes other than Weirdageddon (I think that’s how you spell it?) How would they react to seeing their two kids relationship fall apart before they’re very eyes these two siblings seems like they would never get separated, no matter what happened relationship breaking down blasting up in flames like a universe destroying nuclear BOMB right in front of them? How do they feel about that? (sorry this is a bit long for some reason my asks to literally anyone get really long and no matter how I tried to shorten it it gets long anyways)

The Ciphers definitely knew that the Pines parents were getting a divorce first. They live on the walls of their home and have borne witness to their crumbling relationship since the twins were born. Both of them know that the twins know, but because Dipper and Mabel are trying to keep the other from finding out and overhearing arguments, neither of them say anything. Quietly, they're relieved that the dysfunctional couple is finally splitting up.

(I like to think that in this AU, Dipper and Mabel both stay in Gravity Falls, because Scalene and Euclid make it clear to Stan and, once they're on better terms, Ford that the twin's parents aren't fit guardians. Dipper apprentices with Ford, while Mabel actually learns engineering from McGucket.

Also they call in a favour from Blendin to get evidence showing the neglect. The Axolotl takes a human form and is their silly but absolutely brutal lawyer.)

Weirdmageddon would definitely be a hard time, both for Dipper and Mabel and Scalene and Euclid. Honestly, I think Mabeland would actually be a prison for both Mabel and Dipper, since Mabel wouldn't cause the Rift to break in this timeline. (Its instead an alternative Bill, who finds that reality in this timeline is weaker due to a major event in the timeline having changed so drastically)

My thoughts on how things exactly would go down aren't definitive yet. I have some basic idea on how things would end, with Bill eventually choosing to work on himself and be reincarnated, instead of being put in the Theraprism, but I'm also open to someone changing my mind)

[space-robinhood]

Tfw your space player dies in entry so your beloved pet bird (who turns out to be guardian of the planet) erases the entire universe except you to be reincarnated as a blood player.

Dion creature here belongs to a friend, not me!! I roleplay the tall purple nerd there. Based off a session that never quite finished so I just made an AU basically.

❋ If you are a villain, then let me be your accomplice ❋

feat: Lilia genre: mild hurt/comfort, slow burn romance note: sequel to reincarnated into a new world as the bad guy AU Lilia ver, no pronouns used, Lilia is depicted as his older appearance with long hair, human!reader, mentions of minor injuries unintentionally inflicted on reader, 1.6k word count 

I liivvveee! For now, anyway. I still have my job projects and finals are upon me but I finally found some time to myself so I hope you enjoy another addition to the Villain/ess!series. I might end up failing a class but I know it’s not the end of the world for me and I really enjoyed the class so I wouldn’t mind retaking the class.

Yeaa...this did not end up as domestic fluff

WARNING: This part has kinda hard-to-read topics regarding children and childrearing. Sometimes parents, guardians, caretakers and/or other children accidentally get injured by a child and the child doesn’t know how to get over that. We never want to blame the child for these mistakes but we want to make sure they can learn to avoid such mistakes again. This is an odd case since these are fictional non-human characters and some people can view Lilia as too harsh or see MC/reader as too lenient. I’ve seen parents approach this concern differently and honestly to me, the next course of action is never easy to figure out without truly discussing with the child and those involved.  I'm not saying whose method is right or wrong, I just wrote what would be the best course of action in this scenario. You might have your own opinions or approaches. Read at your own risk

A lot has happened since your first visit to the Vanrouge household. Lilia surprised you by taking both of you into his home, protecting you while helping to raise the young Yung. He offered a room to the small dragon and one for yourself (though Yung still prefers to sleep in your bed with you). 

Speaking of Yung, he was still wary of Lilia and his servants, choosing to hide himself in your embrace or behind your legs. He refused to speak to anyone and if he needed something, he would whisper into your ears and being the pampering type, you would oblige. 

“Dear me, he seems to have really imprinted himself on you” Lilia chuckled casually but then he quickly hardened his gaze and the conversation turned more serious. “However, if he does not grow out from this phase, he may end up unable to control his dragon side and hurt himself or you” 

This worries you as you know due your knowledge from your previous life that Yung will grow to be very powerful but he fell victim to his own strength and destroyed himself with his power. 

Distressed, you begged Lilia to give his guidance as the former guardian of the Dragon King and with a playful smile, he gave an offer to you. 

“Very well, I will be his guide. But as a fair trade of service, why don’t you become my attendant? This would occupy your time and perhaps young Yung could use this to be a little more independent?” 

And thus began Yung’s days of torture as your new job constantly took precious time from him by Lilia. Yung can no longer ask for walks with you because you’re needed to look over some paperwork with the duke. Nights where you would lull him to sleep were getting less and less as Lilia requested your assistance in looking over some schedule details before the new day. And even when Yung gets to hang out with you, Lilia would almost always be there to monopolize your attention. 

At first, you decided to trust the young(?) duke and his tactics since you did come to him for his guidance anyway. Despite the rather playful demeanor he seems to have, Lilia seemed so confident to you and assured you time and time again that this is a rite of passage of sorts for fae like him and Yung since powerful beings like them must learn self-control before anything else. 

But self-control continues to elude Yung and it wasn’t long before the cute little dragon decided enough was enough.

“Wuv is mine! Mister duke go away!” 

To the best of his ability, Yung wrapped his short arms around your waist as he screamed at the duke. If Yung was any normal child, his growth would have been unprecedented as he was already walking (to chase after you and Lilia) and speaking fairly comprehensible sentences (to yell at Lilia). But as a fae, this was a typical growth spurt, quickly growing stronger and bigger than a typical human to ensure his survival. His physical strength was more obvious to you right now as the young child was unintentionally tightening his grip on you which started to hurt. 

“Yung, l-love” you tried to speak but it came out as a short gasp as the small fae ignored your call. His hands, while small, kept digging through your clothes and into your skin which made you wince slightly. You tried other means of grabbing the young one’s attention but all was moot as all of Yung’s focus zeroed in on Lilia alone, his eyes glowing a slightly menacing color and a glare reminiscent of a dragon ready to defend his territory.

“Sigh…you are still a foolish child” 

In an instant, the pain in your sides lessened as you found yourself in the arms of the duke instead of Yung’s hold. Both you and Yung were shocked by this sudden change of the situation. How did neither of you notice Lilia as he somehow managed to rip you out from the young dragon’s grip without his notice or harming you in the process? 

“Are these the skills of an experienced fae?” 

After looking over you for any major injuries, Lilia sighed again with slight disappointment, reminiscent of a father figure upset with a child that nearly broke something precious. “How can you protect your treasure when you can’t even protect them from yourself?” 

Following Lilia’s previous line of sight, Yung’s heart sank when he saw the torn fabric of your outfit. With his extraordinary senses, he caught glimpses of red lines across your skin through the ripped clothing. He instinctively reached out his small hand to you but saw his nails were longer and sharper, like talons of a dragon. 

He hurt you. He hurt you. He hurt you. 

Yung broke into tears as those words cycled in his head, haunting him for his crime. You were instinctively pushing yourself from Lilia by the sound of his cries, running to enclose your arms around the poor fae child, holding him while softly giving words of comfort. 

“Love, I’m alright. It was an accident, I know that” 

 But Yung continued to sob and he apologized profusely, his voice getting sore from his cries. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Lilia stood still behind you, watching silently as you continued to console your child, wiping Yung’s tears and holding his small, shaking hands. 

Night came and Lilia visited you in your room once the family doctor was done tending to your scratches. The head of the manor immediately called for the doctor but you refused to show your injuries while Yung was still panicking over the incident. It was only when Yung calmed down and stayed with him until he fell asleep in his room. You kept your smile as you downplayed your wounds, not letting Yung blame himself.

When Lilia entered your room with your permission, he shocked you as he said something unexpected. 

“I’m sorry.” He even bowed his head to you, showing the sincerity of his words.

You replied with confusion in your voice. “Pardon? What for?” 

“I expected that Yung was getting possessive of you but I didn’t think that you would get this hurt in my attempt to distance you two. I should have intervened sooner” 

Lilia held this guilt throughout the day, ashamed that he roped you into his little test for the dragon fae. He knew raising a powerful fae will be a rough journey, taking his experience from caring for Malleus. But if Lilia were the one to get hurt, it would be but a scratch that would heal in an instant. Whatever Yung would do, Lilia can handle it with ease. 

But you weren’t fae. You were a human that bleed at the lightest touch from his kind, that break much too easily, and perish much too soon. 

“You should leave this manor” Lilia stated with an uncharacteristically serious tone. “I will find a comfortable inn for you to stay in and provide other essentials until you can find another living situation to your liking” 

“Wait a minute!” You jumped from your seat, your mind thrown for a loop. “I can’t just leave, what will happen to Yung? It'll break his heart! I didn’t mean to inconvenience your grace and your plans but I’ll be care-“ 

“Do you not understand the dangers of your situation?” Lilia’s tone was ice cold. “You nearly bled from what Yung thought was a childish hug. What if he were to get angry one day and suddenly knock you unconscious? He is not a mere human child but a fae, and a strong one as well. You are a human that may die by his own hands” 

Silence filled your room as the weight of Lilia's words sink in.

You won’t lie, Yung’s nails were painful and your wounds still sting even after treatment. In the story from your past memories, Yung’s power will be on par with the current Dragon King, with the power to move mountains and call upon flames that would leave nothing in its path. Yung will continue to grow stronger and nothing you, a powerless human, can do that will be able to stop him. 

But still… 

“I stayed silent because I didn't know what would be good for Yung. But damn it, I love that child! As long as he needs me, I’ll be there for him” you locked eyes with the long-haired fae with determination. “He’ll become stronger, but he wouldn't hurt others. He is a happy, kind child"

"And how will you ensure that?"

"I will be there to make sure he stays that way” you made a bold choice, but you're confident in this. You were confident in your little Yung that he will go against his ending in that story nonsense of your previous world.

Crossing your arms, you made another bold comment.

“Besides…you still agreed to guide him. So, this will be a team effort” You were testing your luck but you assumed that should anything like today happen again, then you could always hide behind the great general Vanrouge. That's a team, right? Being able to depend on them during tough patches?

But Lilia stayed quiet and chose to simply match your stare with his. It was intimidating to have such an attractive man look at you with such intensity but you held your ground. You puffed out your chest and refused to look away from Lilia’s admittedly beautiful ruby-coloured eyes. 

Then…Lilia giggled. 

“Lilia, the renowned general…giggled….and it was so cute?!” 

You were taken aback when you saw a soft smile crept onto Lilia’s lips, so different from his mischievous grin whenever he scares you from behind during work or the confident smirk when he wins a round of a card game that you introduced to him from your original world. You were upset, offended even that he would giggle at your proud proclamation to care for Yung. But wow, he was really attractive doing so.

Not noticing your conflicted expression (or choosing to ignore it), Lilia placed a hand on your head, closer to your forehead, then moved slowly to caress your head. His touch was so gentle, careful not to scratch you or add unnecessary pressure. 

“He’s good at holding back his strength” you thought, only having heard the stories of the unbeatable general. Lilia is a playful man but his power is impressive even among other fae so this gentle side of him was a pleasant surprise to you.

“Goodness gracious, I wonder if this is where Yung gets his audaciousness from?” Lilia had a shine in his eyes as he kept his gaze on you, almost as though he was captivated by what he saw. “I look forward to your cooperation then, teammate”

I was possessed by a thought

Modern-ish au but in a "thousands of years post-canon universe"

In which Lamb did not spare Narinder and when they saved the Bishops from Purgatory, actually put them to rest (aka sent them to the After) and oops, the Bishops + Narinder accidentally reincarnated while the Lamb wasn't watching

(Part 2 here)

In this life, the Bishops are still siblings and all were born with magic; Narinder became a priest, and though the other Bishops were raised in the temple alongside him they chose to pursue careers outside of the priesthood. Heket runs a restaurant (of course), Kallamar makes jewelry and sells crystals (he has healing magic so his crystals are literal healing crystals :) ), Leshy is a gardener and Shamura runs a bookshop (I'm sure you're noticing a theme here- their past lives are affecting their new ones). Their past lives' injuries have actually carried over, only instead of being injuries they're disabilities they were born with; Shamura their memory issues, Kallamar is deaf, Heket is mute, Leshy is blind, and Narinder has chronic pain (he WAS in chains for a thousand years, his muscles were ATROPHIED and his joints destROYED, and you cannot convince me otherwise). Not shown here; Narinder also uses a cane and on his really bad days a wheelchair.

Heket: Get a whole pumpkin Narinder, who can't lift more than 20 pounds:

Why do Narinder (and the Bishops) look the same and have the same name? Well. The world may have forgotten them, but the universe hasn't.

Aym and Baal are immortals from their time in the After in this world, and though at first they were resistant to helping the Lamb, eventually they saw they needed Help™ and had no idea what they were doing, and having been witness and aid to Narinder's job for centuries they knew how to help. Over the millennia they fell into the old familiar role of being the guardians of Death (Forneus is also an immortal so don't worry they're not separated again) and are in a constant state of Done With Lamb's Shit (/affectionate).

... I actually really love how Lamb turned out here. It was fun drawing them Older. And quite a flip with making them look older than Narinder. The society that's been built up is still religious but no one recognizes Lamb because they've changed so much over the last two thousand years, and the fact they're a sheep doesn't raise any red flags as sheep have migrated to the Lands from other continents. They're rare but not unheard of.

The Crown fits in by disguising as various types of pets, though no matter its form it always has one eye. This time it's a bird, and it recognized Narinder from a mile away :) The mind forgets but the soul remembers....
