[acefaun]

I see that you're a fan of SCM and Obey me! I have a head cannon that Zyglavis is th creator of angels and he's the dad of the obey me boys and that's why Lucifer is so similar to Zyg and that's why Zyg took Scorpio under his wing so much because he looked similar to Lucifer and he regrets it every day and full of angst lom. Thought id share my fun little story line of my head.

Zyglavis is the GOD, god?! I can see it. Zyglavis is an old man who had many many temples in reverence to him back in the day(and possibly still now... if he's that god who made Lucifer and the gang!)

But... You gave me such angst! I love it!

Like, Scorpio is an angry and vengeful human, just like how Lucifer was angry and vengeful regarding his sister. And Zyg just feels like he could have done better to make them less angry and vengeful. But still, I love comparing Lucifer to Zyglavis. Zyglavis: "The anal retentive kitchen scale." Lucifer: "The anal retentive peacock."

Head canon that Lucifer was high-key obsessed with Zyglavis and wanted to be just like him, and all his brothers still make fun of him for having been a Zyglavis fanatic. (But Lucifer still high key respects Zyglavis). That's probably where Lucifer learned to punish his brothers like that...

I haven't played Obey Me since the chapter where MC leaves the Devildom to go home, but I still like my demon bros! 💕

But since you shared your fun little story line, I'll share my idea of MC's connection to both the gods and the brothers!

I had a whole half of a fic going on a few years ago(and I sort of forgot my own lore, but I'll try to summarize it). It had something where MC was the reincarnation of both the brothers' sister and Clotho.

But right now I'm just going: What if Clotho was their sister, a fellow angel, but during the whole 'war' thing, the gods didn't want to kill Clotho for loving a human, but the brothers misunderstood the entire thing and raised insurrection to save their sister, only to end up falling from grace for threatening the gods.

And in that moment when Beel thinks he let his sister die while he was protecting Belphie, that was actually the gods taking her memory, not her life; the arrow wasn't going to kill her. But again, they don't know that the gods didn't want to kill her. So, the inevitable happened where they fell from Heaven.

Clotho, without her memories or her brothers, ended up serving the gods until they granted her godhood(because I feel like angels should be able to ascend to godhood with the permission of certain gods, and I feel like the zodiac gods would feel bad for her and just want to give her a better life.)

And then we have the whole story with Huedhaut(who was probably the one to suggest she be granted godhood, which might be why she's such a young and clumsy, oddball goddess).

And then she gets reincarnated as a human, thus she's a reincarnated goddess/angel.

I love when I can connect the fandoms I love back to the zodiac gods. It's one of my favorite things to do. 😙 Thanks for your angsty head canon!

Too Easy To Forget

Fandom: Star Crossed Myth (Love 365)

Pairing: Leon x Reader

“I warned you!” Leon says, his voice raising a little. You can see his chest rise as he takes a deep breath, rubbing his hand over his face.

You can feel the tears burning hot as you try to not let them fall. And the worst part is, he did warn you. He told you this was nothing serious, but after three months of consistently hooking up, with the best sex of your life, things just happened to change for you.

“I know you did, okay? I know! I didn’t mean for this to happen, but we’ve always been honest. I just can’t keep doing this, Leon,” You choke back the tears, feeling your bottom lip waver. You can’t look at him. You can’t look him in the eye, and at his height it should be easy enough to avoid. This is an absolute disaster and not at all how you wanted what was probably the last time you’d see him to go.

“I have to go back to the heavens. You knew this. I told you from the beginning how this was supposed to be,” He tugs on his hair a little, staying in your line of vision like he’s doing it on purpose.

“Do you think I wanted to fall for you? You think I wanted to end up feeling the way I do about someone I know is leaving and not worrying about what he’s leaving behind? You get the happy ever after in the heavens and I get to stay on Earth,” You scoff a little.

It’s like he thinks this is easy for you. You swore up and down you weren’t going to fall for him. He was too arrogant, demanding, and most times he was selfish with the meatballs you made for him, but dammit he could be sweet, too. He was caring and nice, he took his time whenever you asked him to and he’d always been up front, just like he’d said.

“Please don’t. You knew this was how it would work out. What did you think would happen? I am a God, you are just a goldfish. And don’t act like you don’t mean anything to me. You know I care about you, but you know this is how it’s suppose to be,” He says, absolutely trying to reason with you, but it was too late.

You feel the tears as they break loose and wipe at them quickly. Leon looks like he wants to step forward and help, but he also knows that’s not his place. Especially right now.

“I don’t know what I expected. Not after three months. I don’t know how you can be around and so consistent in someone’s life for that long and not have some sort of feelings for them. I’m not you, Leon.”

You have to wrap your arms around yourself as you lean back against the kitchen counter. He’s got an arm against the fridge right next to you, giving you a caring look that’s making your heart physically hurt.

“I can’t just shut someone out,” You mumble, “I should have known better. I knew better when this first started.”

“Come here,” He says quietly, opening his arms up for you.

And this time you can’t resist it even if you really want to. You lean forward, pressing into his chest and holding his waist tight. He wraps his arms around you securely, even rubbing your back. It does nothing to slow the tears and you both know you’re soaking a spot onto his shirt, but he doesn’t pull back at all.

So you take it in. You realize this is probably the last night you’ll get to have him this close. He goes back to his goddess when he’s in the heavens. You knew that from the start, too. It was like you were borrowing him, keeping him warm and ready for when she finally got him back.

And maybe that played a bigger role in why you were more upset than you realized. He was fully capable of caring about someone, making them an important part of his life. You just weren’t that person, no matter how much you were there for him or cared. And that really hurt.

Leon pulls away then, rubbing his hands up and down your arms. He ducks a little, trying to get you to look up at him. You finally do, sniffling a little. The tears are far from over, but they’re a little less out of control now.

“What do you want? I’m all yours tonight,” He whispers, “You want to sleep together, or you can yell at me. You can hit me if you really want to. Go ahead, take a swing.”

You laugh a little, hating that he knows how to lighten your mood this way. He’s got the softest smile on his face and it makes you realize that this is going to be tough. This is your last night that you get him all to yourself. Part of you wants to just end it how it started: sex and nothing more. But you know, and you think he probably does too, that it’s too late to just go with that.

“I don’t really know,” You say quietly, your voice hoarse from the sobs, “I’m scared to let you go. I don’t think I’ll ever get you back the way I’ve had you lately.”

He tucks a piece of your hair behind your ear, “Well, maybe we’re not supposed to. This was exciting and fun, but if I ever come back to Earth we might want different things. Hell, you might have someone new. We just don’t know.”

You look up at him finally. You want to commit him to memory then. You bring a hand up, pressing it to his cheek and running your thumb along his perfect skin gently. He turns his head and kisses your palm, sticking the tip of his tongue out just the tiniest bit to hit your skin. You both laugh a little. You’ll miss him, that much is true. He had been a steady presence over the last however many weeks, but somehow he’d blended seamlessly into your day to day life. Now you’d have to get used to him being absent on all fronts.

“Do you want me to leave?” He checks in, still leaning into your palm.

You shake your head, gently pulling him down by the back of his neck. He goes easily with it and leans in to kiss you, easily putting some pressure behind it. He traps you back against the counter before lifting you onto the surface. You’re finally level with his height, pulling back just enough to rest your forehead on his, trying to hold on just a little longer to him.

“Just one more night, okay?” You ask, though you’re sure he won’t say no.

“I’m all yours then. Whatever you want with me,” He nods.

You tangle your fingers in his hair, trying to decide how to spend the last hours. You think being tangled up in him is probably best. It’s already late anyways. “Can we just go lay down? I don’t have the energy to fight anymore or do much of anything.”

He smiles, reaching to grab your thighs, and hoisting you up. He carries you much easier than you imagine he should be able to, but it lets you have more time to just take him in. The muscles you can feel under his shirt are the same ones you’d held onto some nights, and you lean your head down on his shoulder. You’re lost in thought when he suddenly drops you onto your bed, pulling a small squeal out of your lips.

He strips down, absentmindedly tossing his shirt to you like he’d done so many previous nights. This time you shake your head though. You have to get used to letting him go. He understands, tossing you one of your own pajama shirts and getting under the covers with you.

It’s easy to find him then and get comfortable. You’d done it enough times, but there was always another tomorrow to do it again. Until now.

You waste hours talking about anything you can both think of to distract yourselves. But eventually your lids get too heavy and you’re slurring your words together out of exhaustion.

“Go to sleep, _____. It’s okay,” Leon says, but he’s not sure who he’s really saying it for.

You smile and follow his directions easily. You toss and turn despite his warm shape being right there with you the whole time. But when the sun wakes you up the next day you roll over to find an empty bed.

The sight builds an instant lump in your throat, and you’re immediately trying to swallow it down. You reach over and feel the sheets are cool, letting you know he was fully gone. You didn’t really get the chance to say goodbye. Not that you’re sure you would have been able to do it to his face.

You’re starting to think this was probably for the best when you see the flash of a red jewel on the pillow next to you. Your breath catches and you sit up, grabbing at the piece of jewelry. He’d left his necklace that he’d been wearing the night before. You knew he wore this necklace everyday, but you never imagined he’d leave it.

You shake your head, feeling the tears burn hot down your cheeks, not even bothering to clear them away. It was like a final goodbye from him. A way to remember him. He was easily your hardest goodbye yet, but you were sure you were too easy to forget for him.

SCM Headcanon Request: Gods In Love

Anonymous said: Hello! I absolutely love all of your posts and I think that you are absolutely amazing. Would you mind if I suggested a Star Crossed Myth request? I would really love it if you could write about all 12 gods in love with the MC, but she just doesn’t seem to notice that they care for her. Thank you for reading this and I love your work!!! :) 

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Fandom: Star Crossed Myth Category: Fluff / Angst Character: Leon / Scorpio / Teorus / Dui / Karno Notes: I couldn’t do all 12 but here you go- I have slowed down on updating and writing requests- mainly because life is busy and I’ve written quite a few fics and I don’t want to repeat same plots just with different canons.

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Leon As the Minister of the Department of Wishes and the most powerful god in the heavens (after the King), Leon has never ever wanted anyone. There is no need to, with his power to invoke physical pleasure, he could have anyone with a simple touch until he meets the former goddess.

Nothing annoys him more than requiring help  from a mere human, especially a goldfish who is so fucking clueless and oblivious in everything. She is so naïve and warm-hearted to a point where she keeps ending up getting hurt and deceived by friends and strangers.

His heart aches when he hears her ideal lover in a stupid game calls Truth or Dare, someone humble, easy and attentive, basically nothing like himself. That’s when The God of Leo eventually realizes he has developed feelings for her, he’s surprised and in denial for the first few days but as soon as she blushed at others flirtatious joke, he’s pissed. Not because he’s jealous but the fact that she has no clue of others feelings towards her. So Leon keeps her by his side 24/7 as he loves seeing her smile but also in attempt for her to see all his sides, even his rare caring side. He carefully lets down his wall for her, sharing his stories and concerns that he never ever tells anyone else. To him, she’s far more precious than any goddesses in heaven. 

Scorpio

Scorpio still remembers the time she takes care of him while he’s sick in bed, those cute rabbit shaped apples. They don’t taste the same without her feeding them to him, his cheeks turn pick when he thinks about her so he only misses her when he’s alone in his room. Picturing her cute smile, silly giggle and clumsiness. Her wavy brown hair, her flushed face when the other gods compliment her dress and how close she is with all of them.

Scorpio sighs but ever since he has fallen in love with her, it has become harder not to think of her all the time. He could not resist peeking her way whenever she’s in the mansion, he gets jealous when Ichthys’s hand is touching her or when she smiles at Dui’s kind words. She says Scorpio is too mean and swears too much. He tries to show her a kinder side of himself, he even begins to swear less.

But the former human doesn’t know what to do with his emotions. He wants to be with her all the time, so much that it scares the hell out of him. She begins calling him cute and he covers his embarrassment by teasing or being mean to her when what he really wants is for her to by his side. To hold her, to whisper sweet nothing to her ear, to be the person who makes her blush, to feel her body growing warm, to hear her moan his name, to want him as much as he wants her.

Teorus

The flirtatious god who loves being the center of female attention has no need to think twice when he compliments the former goddess. If flattery and intimacy would erase his sin and make him a god again, he would do anything.

He has heavily implied to her that he’s had many lovers but it still takes him by surprise when her tears run down her cheeks even though it is widely known that he never lets women into his bedroom; he has made her an exception that night.

He watches her, crying herself to sleep and he wonders just how much pain he has caused her. Was it the flirting that she takes the wrong way or sleeping with other women bothers her that much? Is it just the kind of jealousy that would fade away or has she given up on him for good? He thought he understands women, but she has him puzzled.

Her 180 degree change of attitude not only surprises Teorus, it nearly kills him. No one avoids him, not even his exs. The God’s confused for some weeks, and gradually beings to cut ties with his “girlfriends”. It hasn’t occurred to him that he has fallen in love with her till he’s becomes insanely possessive, leading to his epic confession to his one and only true love.

Dui

As a god who doesn’t particularly want his sin to be absolved, Dui simply enjoys her company till his dark sides slip out and scare the hell out of her.

The warm hearted and child-like god does what he know best when it comes to protection- avoiding the former goddess at all cost, making sure she has no chance of seeing the Dark Dui again even though it means the same for himself.

However her persistence and kindness not only force herself into both Dui’s lives but also their very souls, showing them the light and hope they have long forgotten. Her unconditional love conquer their differences, loving two sides of Dui as one- mentally and physically.

Karno 

The friendly, calm, and approachable God of Cancer has take a liking of her long before they even met and he intends to keep her in the dark until destiny has its own way to reveal the truth and of course taunt his feelings.

She’s over the moon for the reunion, to have eventually met her long time guardian angel while the vice minister himself attempts to develop further inappropriate feelings for a human. Leon would half tease and half encourage him to confess and take the girl with his own hands.

However, Karno remains afar, watching over her as she falls in love with another god because he understands loves come in all kind of forms and he has no intention to take someone who clearly doesn’t return the same affection. He simply hopes her to find true happiness and grants her every wish within power.

Voltage Writing Prompt #7 [ REQUEST: Zyglavis]

medievalbingeprincess69 said to youvefoundmyneverland: Zyglavis. #7, Please!!!! 😊😊            

7. “Could you ever be happy here with me?”

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

"Could you ever be happy here with me?"

"Could you?"

He repeats softly, barely audible as he slowly manages one word at a time to make sure it sinks into her mind without breaking her heart. This hasn't been easy on either of them, nothing could ever prepare such affair between a god and human.

He loves her, that's no doubt about it. Sacrificing himself or his position is worth it as long as he could be with her but maybe the King's right- when's he ever wrong?

Zyglavis knows nothing about love and romance, perhaps he honestly has no clue in satisfying her, providing a life she wants but the most fundamental of all, could he make her happy?

Gazing into her teary eyes, the god cups her cheeks and wipe away the moist trail with his gloved fingers. "I understand if you want to leave, ______. I'll always love you and watch you from above. Seeing that you're happy, that's all I'd ever wish for."

Without finishing his thoughts, Zyglavis pulls her into his arms and plants their last kiss on her forehead before disappearing back to his room far away in the heaven, watching her falls into her feet and sobs out loud. His heart is torn but he knows he's doing the right thing, restoring her uneventful life back on track. He'd forever watch over her, wishing her the best and finding love once again though it would be someone's else arms wrapping around her.

That's something he has chosen to live with for the rest of his eternal life.

NOTES: Sorry this took so long love and it led me to angst 😅 Enjoy!

Hanahaki [Zyglavis x Scorpio]

My heart has always follow you, and before i realized what kind of feeling it was, a root had already grown deep inside me.

A minister and his trustful right-hand man, a relationship though seems deep but is actually just a co-worker kind of bond, nothing more. That thought has always lingering around my head, he trusts me, respects me, and treats me nicely, but only to a limit. Because that’s how professional relationship works.

We’re so close but actually so far from each other.

There’s always a chance my position would be replaced by someone else, and he would still treat that vice minister the same like how he treats me. I wonder if someday i’m really gone, would he feel sad? Would he try to hold me back?

Should i just go tell him my feeling?

I immediately get rid of that thought, no, if things doesn’t work out our relationship would be ruined, i can’t let that happen. After all, it’s best to keep things safe, just like how we are right now

Yes, i am not scared..i just protect our relationship.

Little did i know, that ugly root starts to pierce through my heart and lungs, growing deeper inside my body. Killing me slowly.

The ex-goddess of fate, he has been so close with her lately, most of the time i went to see him, he was always with her. What are they talking about? Has he already taken an interest in her? No it’s not of my business who he’s talking to, our relationship is all about work anyway, it’s not right of me to pry into his private life.

As long as he’s happy, it’s okay.

My throat suddenly feels blocked, the burning pain grows stronger, i can’t help but throwing up whatever is in there.

Flowers...?

A crimson red kind of flower, like it is made of blood, deathly but somehow beautiful.

“Scorpio, what happened? are you okay?”

I heard a familiar voice, the voice i love so much, i wish that voice only call out my name, no one else. Zyglavis looks panic and run toward my collapse body, he picks up the flower on the floor and his face looks pale.

“Scorpio, whoever it is, you need to stop, you know what disease this is right? It can kill you, stop having feeling for that person!” - Zyglavis grabs my shoulder, desperately yelling. I know it’s deathly but how can i stop? There’s no way to do it.

But hey, at least i get to see you look so worry about me, so i guess it’s a good thing, that you actually care for me.

But the burning feelings won’t stop, i tries to keep it all inside but it seems impossible to hold it in. More flowers drop to the floor together with my blood dripping out of my mouth.

Ah shit, i guess i underestimate this thing

Unlike my ugly feelings, those flowers looks so beautiful, but so tragic at the same time. It’s starting to get harder to breath, Zyglavis turns pale and tries to hold me inside his arm, the flowers and blood get all over his uniforms and i can feel his body shaking, knowing it’s too late.

“Scorpio, please, try to hold on, the root can be removed, i’ll do it for y—“ - i hold his hand, no, i don’t want this to be removed.

“I don’t want my feelings to be removed...

...because that feelings is for you”

I can see tears streaming down his face, his eyes is mixed with surprise, sadness, panic and despair. My feelings might not be returned, but i hope if there is an afterlife, we could be together. At least for this lifetime, i get to die in your arms. That is enough for me.

My vision starts to darken, the image of you is getting blurry and everything fades to darkness.

— Zyglavis’s POV —

It’s better to stay like this. That’s what i always think. My pride prevents me from confessing everything to you. All because i don’t want this relationship to break, because i scared you won’t feel the same way i do.

All because of my cowardness

I want to hold you in my arms so bad, i want to make you mine, i want to do all the things lovers do with you. Our position, our relationship seems to be a barrier, a thin barrier but dangerous to break through. I feel like you always keep a professional distance from me, because we just simply colleagues.

I tries to ask her for an advice, as i thought she would be more experience in expressing feelings than i do. Well she does know a lot, i starts meeting up with her for advices in order to confess everything to you.

Little did i know, everything is too late.

My heart shattered when i see your body collapse on the ground, the red flowers seems like it’s piercing through my heart and body, who it is? Who made you like this?

Flowers after flowers come out as i hold you in my arms, i never feel this desperate and useless, to see my loved on slowly dying in front of my eyes. Whoever made you like this, i hate them to the core.

“I don’t want my feelings for you to be removed”

Those words stabs through me a billion times, i made the one i love die all because of my cowardness, all because i don’t have the courage to tell you everything i feel, the smile on your face makes me feel like i’m dying. It’s hurt, really

I can’t never get over the guilt of killing you

——————

Scorpio’s funeral was held privately among the 12 star gods and the King, his body slowly dissolve into light, glowing up the night sky. The King made him the brightest star in the sky, shining brightly from October 24 to November 22, as a tribute for the late ruler of Scorpio.

After the Scorpio’s death, the Department of Punishment never witness another vice minister as this is the wish of the ruler of Libra. Because the only vice minister he would accept can only be Scorpio.

Every year from October 24 to November 22, the residents of heaven always see a dark blue hair man, sitting alone by the Milky Way river, gazing on to the sky, tears stream down from his eyes as he see that one shining star in the sky.

Zyglavis never escape the guilt he feel from that day, even when it’s been eons since Scorpio pass away. He miss the warmth of the late vice minister, his smile, his eyes. Everything has already gone, all because he of his cowardness.

The ruler of Libra has asked the King to take away his immortality then continues to serve as the minister until wrinkles appears on the once youthful face and white hair starts to appear. The old man steps down and pass the position to Krioff, the ruler of Aries.

The last time everyone in both department saw him is when he stands by the river at the familiar time frame as his body starting to dissolves into light and fly onto the sky.

Both star reside at the same place but sadly, the reddish star only appears after the blueish one disappear.

Just like their love, placing at the right place, but both never know each other’s feeling because they’re too afraid to confess it. Because they scared that their bond will be ruined.

So close but so far away

Obey Me / SCM Au Series

Warnings: conflict of interest, triggers, drama, angst

Words 3176

I do not own the rights to these characters, characters belong to:

·         Obey me! Shall we date

·         Star crossed myth - Voltage

                  Note: The beginning of this story is flashback to an earlier time, to aid the series.

 Chapter 9: You Already Have

 An event happened shortly after Fates passing, when the departments were first established.

The warlocks of earth rallied against the heavens, demanding more then what they were owed. After the fight against the dark ones, they threatened to raise chaos once again. This threat was taken seriously, considering what had previously transpired.  Many believed this was the perfect time to speak their demands and strike. All the realms were in a healing process after the great battle, one warlock in particular (Mordred) led a violent protest against the heavens. Many were angry at the gods for not aiding soon enough, or not being compensated enough for all that was lost.

Mordred in specific; despised the gods, he who was once a faithful and devoted mage. His wife and two of his three children were killed in the slaughters, leaving him and his son behind. Grief led to anger, anger to hate, he wanted nothing more than revenge against the heavens. So badly, that he sold his soul to a disciple who had escaped from the battle of the dark ages, in exchange for darker magic.

One enough, to challenge a god.

Mordred caused quite the stir on earth, he felt humiliated and mocked by the gods. He thought the more ‘darkness’ he unleashed, sooner or later, the gods would have to meet his demands. He was arrogant, the magic he wielded fed false confidence to his soul.

Said darkness consumed him, leaving alone his son; orphaned. (will come back to this part another time)

.

Zyglavis and Leon as newly established Ministers were the ones who were to deal with the situation, the warlocks were ruthless; Mordred was a strong tyrant. However, because the confrontation was ongoing in the human realm neither Leon nor Zyg were able to truly realise their powers.

* It is forbidden for gods to do so, limiting them to using lesser power. Due to the fact; taking into their god forms and using their true potential could ultimately destroy the human realm. *

.

They were heavily outnumbered as it raged on, the fight looked as though the warlocks had the upper hand. The dragged fight took its toll on Leon and Zyglavis, without rest; they were exhausted beyond measure. Until, the darkest hour, a bright light shined, a young angel in a suit of armour appeared. Swooping down with six pure white wings to aid, with one massive flap from his wings he sent numbers of the warlocks back. The situation turned and Leon, Zyg and this angel fought side by side dwindling the forces.

* Angels are able to use their power without unbalancing the human realm. This angel, who was not asked nor told to help. Came and assisted, selflessly. When most angels preferred nonviolent ways, or not to involve themselves at all in ‘dirtying’ their hands. *

The battle was over, the angel subdued Mordred with great effort.

“Boy, what is your name?” Leon was breathless, eyeing up the young stranger.

He ran his fingers through his raven black hair, fixing it to one side “My name is Lucifer, sir.”

“Your Fate’s boy, correct?” Zyglavis approaches Lucifer, who was nearly as tall as him.

He looked off in thought and smiled, cheeks tinting pink when he nodded to Zyg’s question.

“I will be sure you are greatly rewarded for your bravery, Lucifer. Your mother would have been proud.”

The pride of the heavens, was indeed worthy of his name.

Lucifer was appointed to serving both Ministers of each department, not even the messengers of heaven had the privilege to serve both departments.

Now, back to our story time line…

.

.

 Mammon had you thrown over his shoulder, the pain in your head was too much; passing out. Asmo carried an unconscious Solomon too, they rushed to get as far away as possible from the building.  

“Where now?” He turns to Asmo, catching his breath.

Asmo gasps for air, and looks at him unsure.

…

“I will have you two strung up for a thousand years for this!”

!!

Lucifer and the others appear, barrelling down the side walk towards them.

Even though they knew there was going to be hell to pay, they were relieved the others showed up.

.

“What’s wrong with them?” Belphie asks with a look of concern

Setting eyes on two mundane individuals slung over their brothers’ shoulders, each seemingly out; limp.

“We don’t have time for this, we gotta goooooo!” Mammon tries to get everyone moving.

Similar black mist that surrounded the suite, starts closing in on all of them, like a whirl pool. The warm dawn light thrashed out by the black cold mist, spinning.

“What in the hell?!” Satan turns around watching the mist spiralling crazily.

“Like I said, we need to go!”

“I don’t think ssssoo”

Another body takes form not far, sick colour hair, and another marking on this one’s cheek. He was draped in a blood red cloak, “You have sssomething that belongsss to uss” He hisses pointing to the unconscious girl. His eyes void, hazed over with a look of murder.

“That marking...” Lucifer’s eyebrows pinch together. Another one? He thinks, considering this wasn’t the one they ran into the other day. He immediately had his guard up, Diavolo warned them… DAMMIT! He was right, they led them right to Y/N! He was cursing himself.

.

A moment later, a bolt of light shot through the crowd with great speed. Like the rays set off the sun, inserting between the brothers from the disciple.

Leon appears from the light; blocking, “If you want her, come and get her!” He challenges; confidently.

The disciple’s eyes widen and darken even more, without warning he throws black balls of light towards Leon.

!!!

As Leon prepared to counter…

Lucifer swoops next to him, in demon form; wings stretched back. One single flap of his wings and it sends the balls right back with a wave of force.

“Youuuuuuuu!” The fiend spits, dodging his own attack; ricocheting back.

Lucifer and Leon momentarily make side eye contact, side by side; ready for this fight. No words were needed, a memory arises in Leon’s mind.

He can’t help but feel angry and …. What is this feeling? His heart slightly aches.

.

.

 Heaven

  He folds his arms and tilts his head to the side.

“Crow...”

The King watched as Leon and Karno battle Crow, throwing black and white lights at each other; destroying things inside the suite.

“I wonder which path this one will take...”

Karno aims and makes a crucial hit to Crow, causing him to drop to his knees holding his chest. “This isn’t over yet!” He mutters and disappears.

Leon then taking off just as quickly as Crow did.

Kivy watched for a moment longer, Karno fixing the devastation inside. Then he waves his slim and delicate looking hand over the water, another scene begins to unfold.

“It seems old habits die hard…. Lucifer…”

Zyglavis approaches, “My king, should we aid?”

Kivy shakes his head, “No, I see no cause too. No-one is to interfere, understand.” Tapping the stone around the reflecting pool. His eye’s never leaving from his once favourite creation.

“The curtain rises, the stage is set. How fascinating, so many possibilities…? But only few endings, our very actions; set course. The end is nigh…...”

Zyglavis face scrunches in confusion as he watches the King talking, and smiling to himself.

.

 Devildom

 Diavolo stands on the balcony, hands behind his back.

“Barbatos, did they go to her?”

Nodding, “Yes, there is only two outcomes to this…”

Diavolo turns to face Barbatos, both seemed to have been thinking of something.

He faces away again and looks out to the outskirts of Devildom, observing the change up above. The sky darkening and swirling, denser than usual “We could have ended this before it started, but father refuses to do anything other than sleep!” Slamming his fists down to the banister, shaking it with unfathomable force.

“Perhaps it’s time for your coronation, my lord” Barbatos says with a smile, bowing his head.

.

.

 Back in the Human Realm

 Leon stands next to Lucifer, blocking the attacks.

Lucifer orders his siblings, “Move and go quickly!” as he counters attacks back.

The disciple did not let up, flailing his arms, with each; more black balls flying into range.

Lucifer was blocking and winging them back, Leon was throwing gold lights of his own. A gust of wind begins to blow, stopping anyone from leaving the area.

Leon couldn’t allow the girl to leave with them, not when he was so close.

.

Behind the disciple, Karno appears with a snap and throws an arrow of light into the back of the assailant. He screams an ear bleeding pitch before disappearing into mist, gone with the wind.

…

The air goes still, like the calm before the storm.

Lucifer and Leon take steps back from one another, fiercely staring each other down. One on guard, the other fighting the urge to teach the traitorous boy a lesson.

Karno; cautious as he approaches, placing himself between the two “Is she alright?” Looking to Mammon with anxious eyes.

.

Mammon hesitates for a moment, unsure how to respond, when he feels her slowly start fidgeting on his shoulder. Carefully placing her on the ground, holding her arms for support as she sits on the pavement.

.

Your eyes flutter, “Whoa, what the heck happened?” Your head felt of static, one minute you were in pain, then nothing. Waking up outside, face to face with Mammon.

.

Mammon looks to Karno, “Yea, I think she’s good.” Releasing your arms and standing up straight.

…

Leon, without taking his eyes off Lucifer, “You’re coming with us little girl and that’s an order”

.

‘Was that Leon’s voice?’ Your head spins around and you take it all in; all the brothers were here and Karno and Leon. – Uh oh

.

“I think it’s clear Y/N doesn’t want to be at that house any longer, or she wouldn’t have left it to begin with” Satan simply states.

Leon’s face turns, glaring from Lucifer’s, to him.

 When their eyes met, Satan for the first time ever felt the sheer meaning of ‘if looks could kill’. He instinctively took a step back, biting his cheeks from continuing. Not even Lucifer gave him this feeling when he got angry, this one was truly powerful and very dangerous.

Karno slowly side steps towards Leon, ready to stop him “Settle down, I think there’s been enough violence for one day…”

…

While everyone’s attention was centred, behind Mammon; Crow appeared without noise.

Your head whipped back, when you felt his presence spring up. Pointing, you tried to warn him but before anyone could react in time.

Crow threw a massive black orb; into Mammon’s back “DIEEEEE!!”

Mammon jerked forward, clenching his hands tightly. Knuckles gone completely white “Urg!!!!!!!”

!!!!!

“MAMMON!”

.

.

 Far from Devildom, in ruins of an old fortress

 The Dark King raised his chin and smiled, the chaos feeding his soul.

��Crow, Servillah, I will be sure to reward you beyond measure for your hard work”

*SNAP*

A cloaked figure appears before him.

“So, you’ve returned, my son.”

He pulls down his hood, and kneels down on one knee “I have, my lord” Raising his head, smirking.

“Tell me Partheno, do they suspect you?”  The Dark King rises from the crumbling throne.

“No, I am the god of love and beauty after all” rising as he glides his fingers down his face “they consider me like one of them. Can you believe the insolence of them!?” His face twists into a repulsive frown.

Partheno quickly regains face; shrugging his shoulders, “What a pity though, such a pretty little thing she was...”

‘I would have liked to have had her as my little pet, she seems to have charmed those demons. I wonder how she could have pleased me’ He thought to himself

“Do not stray from our goal now! We have come so close after so long; we will make them all pay. We will rise from the shadows and conquer all the realms; you may have what you want then. The mortals have lost their ways of surviving, they’ve grown too comfortable in times of peace. Their deaths will breed life to a new age!” He stumbled back and sank down into the throne.

Partheno carefully watched his lords weakened state.

A part of him felt conflicted, to be born of darkness; wishing to be out in the light. Did he really want to betray those gods, who seemed to believe in him?

Did he really want to see her die? This mortal, who treated demons like friends, and showed promise. He didn’t have many interactions with you but he didn’t feel angry at you like the rest of the world. A part of him actually wanted to be closer to you, but alas; you were merely a lamb being led to slaughter.  

.

.

 Heaven

 Kivy was still staring at the pool, like a cat watching fish swim.

“Oooh, so it’s this one. How amusing…”

He watches as Satan steps away from Leon’s stare, and smiles wide.

“To be feared and loved, what I would expect from the next King.”

He watched as Crow stabbed Mammon in the back, he nearly laughed.

“What irony hmm”

His face darkened, thinking back to how they turned their backs on him. On the laws of their people, because their little sister loved a mortal.

Broke his sacred law to save that mortal, and then when he punished her, they betrayed him.

His own creations, HIS children, for what?

To fall from grace, and live a pointless existence. Lucifer’s anger towards him birthed Wrath, replacing Lilith with what, another brother? Then that young prince Diavolo, aided Lilith, giving her a happy ever after.

He clicked his tongue and stared down with disgust.

That was when he established the law, that no-one was to monopolise any of those that served the heavens. No mortals, no demons, no filth.

Their loyalty belonged to me!

���Altair, come to me!” He said with anger in his command.

Altair materializes before him “Yes, my king!”

“Send for Scorpio, immediately. I’ve grown bored of watching this.”

Watching Lucifer below festered feelings inside him he did not like, feelings he hadn’t felt in eons. He would call upon his new favourite and vanquish these feelings.

Altair scurried away quickly, shaking his head... ‘He really is a twisted king’

.

.

 Human Realm

 Your ears were pounding and your stomach dropped.

Mammon yelped in pain; his lips began to fade blue, almost instantly upon impact. You watched so many emotions flash in his eyes, fear, sadness and relief as he locked onto yours.

It was as though time slowed down, Mammon’s eyes widened slightly, before his own tears fell. Crumbling to the ground, he whispered your name, over and over again. You quickly scrambled to him, carefully cradling him in your arms. You were afraid, hand shaking as you touched his face like it was made of porcelain. One wrong move and you would shatter him into a million pieces.

As chaos broke out around, all your focus was on Mammon.

Flashbacks started flooding your mind.

The day you made a pact with him.

That time he made you eat Beel’s custard, how easily he forgave you about Belphie’s situation. The oath you, Levi and Mammon pledged together.

All his crazy text messages and demanding phone calls, your tsundere. All the laughs you shared, the jokes and the banter. A years’ worth of memories avalanched into your mind and flowed tears forth from your eyes.

“H-hey b-buddy?” You whispered, trying not to sob loudly; keep calm for his sake.

He slowly blinked his eyes, tears also escaping; fighting to keep them open.

“Y-you’re going to be o-okay, y-you have too! You’re the GREAT M-Mammon after all!” your lip quivered

His lips moved but no more sounds came out, only cool air.

It wasn’t hard to see he was fighting to breathe; his chest rising and jerking before each exhale. You felt the warm blood oozing from his back, like a river of red slipping through your fingers as one hand compressed the wound. Drenching your lap, and pooling around the two of you.

.

Little to either of your attentions, figures and lights of all sorts were flying around. When Crow appeared and assaulted Mammon, Levi, Satan, Belphie and Beel launched into attack. Servillah appeared not long after, with other shadows and creatures. Hell broke loose, Asmo did what he could as he held on to a still unconscious human. Karno and Leon back to back flinging powerful strikes, protecting you as you held your friend close.

Lucifer flew into a fit of rage just after he watched his little brother drop.

Mammon the idiot, Mammon; his first sibling. His troublesome; adorable, idiot. Who constantly found ways of entertaining him with his little schemes.

While he watched his brother fall, two memories flashed; before rage blinded him.

Remembering the first-time little Mammon smiled and praised him, genuinely.

“Of course, MY brother is so strong and so cool. Lucifer, brother, you’re the bestest!” Mammon’s big doe eyes gleamed with admiration, as he placed a hand atop of Mammon’s head and ruffled his hair. “I’m going to be just like you when I get bigger, just you see big brother!”

…

“You’re serving both the departments!? MY brother?! You truly are amazing Lucifer!” A not so little Mammon yells “I can’t wait to tell everyone!” his brother beamed with pride as jumped with celebration.

The look on his face only moments ago, when he was struck; was just like Lilith’s. He failed again, his worst nightmare; rage took hold.

.

“Mammon just hold on; I’m going to save you, okay!” You tore your eyes from him briefly, to a busy Karno.

Cold finger tips touched the tears on your chin, trying to pull your gaze back down; Mammon smiling weakly. His lips moved and even though he didn’t say anything you made out clearly what he was trying to say.

‘You already have, thank you’

He gave you a half smug smile before his hand dropped; his eyes still open. Time truly did stop, the moment you realised so too did his heart.

“M-Mammon?”

“MAMMON!?!”

.

.

 The House of Gods

 Everyone was watching, Huedaut was using Leon’s private pool to observe what was happening.

The King had directly ordered all to stand guard and not to intervene. He tried to emotionally; un-attach himself from the scene below, until...

“Mammon!” He didn’t think it possible; to feel his heart break even more so.

Like his very soul was being chewed and spit out relentlessly, again and again.

*SNAP*

Hue disappeared from the mansion.

Heaven Hath No Fury: Two Endings

XIV. Their own free will.

Bowing was not in the nature of either the Minister of Wishes or Punishments, but the weight of each god’s guilt in the face of Miho’s admonishments was considerable.

“Make your choice,” Mieke growled, itching – it seemed – for them to resist so she could justify a bloody approach to their mission.

“We…” Leon began, but Zyglavis finished for him.

“… have bowed enough,” he stated carefully, and continued more quickly when the Goddess of Canes Venatici sharply lifted her chin, “but…”

He stepped aside, leaving Leon alone before the throne room doors.

“But,” Zyglavis repeated, “you are right. Punishment is long overdue.”

With deliberate ceremony the doors swung inward, and hand in hand, fingers entwined, Miho and Mieke stepped past Leon and Zyglavis into the throne room.

The greeting the they received was less than gracious, with not a word uttered before a sphere of light, large enough to engulf both goddesses, came barrelling toward them.

“Not unexpected,” Miho dropped, raising her free hand.

Just her palm touched, and a tingle raced through her body as the King’s energy began to diminish, shrink until it was little more than a tiny golden pearl dancing over her fingers.

“Have you nothing to say?” Miho asked, her voice a surprisingly restrained whisper.

“Let me rip an answer from his throat,” Mieke snarled, more eager for carnage than Miho it appeared.

“Then he’d be dead, his suffering short,” Miho pointed out, closing her fist around the bright bead of power.

Quick hiss.

A few sparks.

It was gone.

“I cannot be killed,” the King proclaimed haughtily, then flickered his gaze to Leon and Zyglavis who had moved up to Miho’s right shoulder.

“What’s this?” the King sneered. “Mutiny?”

“I may be the Minister for Wishes,” Leon declared, “but of all those you have wronged in your existence, she most deserves retribution.”

“Do you truly believe she will not steal your stars also?” the King questioned, holding his ground, but when Zyglavis added his piece, there was far less certainty in the celestial monarch’s eyes.

“For my failure to protect her, to stand up for her, to rescue her,” Zyglavis began, “my very own betrayal – I would give her my stars is she requested them.”

“Outrageous!” the King exclaimed.

“But it will be your stars I’ll be taking, Morthwyl.”

All but Miho and Mieke seemed stunned at the pronouncement of this name.

None had heard it before, and yet instantly they knew Miho had spoken the true name of the King of the Heavens.

In shock and horror he stumbled back against his throne, eyes bulging – for her knew the implications.

All confidence fled.

Miho had him exactly where she wanted him.

“Miho!” Karno shouted, he and the other gods running to join Leon and Zyglavis.

“Leave it,” Leon commanded. “It’s over.”

“Yes, it is,” Miho agreed, stepping up to the King, whose attempts to flee were quashed by Mieke.

“Morthwyl,” she said, a hateful word, “give me your stars.”

There was absolutely no hesitation, and just like that, Miho’s tormentor surrendered his power, his immortality, his everything.

And Mieke no longer needed to keep him from running. His body slumped pathetically to the floor at Miho’s feet, all the shine, the luminescence of his presence void.

Slowly, Miho turned to the now sizeable crowd behind her – not just the zodiac gods, but others who now peered at her, flabbergasted – and smiled as she inhaled.

“Now what?” Scorpio asked, blunt as ever despite his mortality.

“Now, I banish this miserable creature to a mortal life on Earth,” Miho replied in a strong, clear voice, looking from god to god, “give you all back your stars, and leave the zodiac gods to govern the Heavens in a way – I hope – that will not necessitate my returning here again.”

“What?” Krioff blinked, and everyone else was just as stunned.

“You’re not going to take the King’s place?” Ichthys blurted, and Miho raised a brow.

“Would you like me to?” she queried, and it was clear Ichthys didn’t know how to answer that question without digging himself into a hole. “I never desired power for power’s sake,” she explained, and there was silence but for the deposed King’s whimpering, “only what I needed to exact my revenge, and prevent this malevolent wretch from causing further suffering.”

“But,” Teorus began, but the rest of his sentence failed when Miho swept her arm in a dramatic arch, starlight floating majestically from her fingertips and coming to rest within the eyes of those to whom they belonged.

Perhaps now – if they all worked together – they could overpower Miho and Mieke and hold them accountable for their act against the King, but the crowd merely parted as Miho stepped toward the exit, Mieke behind her dragging Morthwyl by the collar.

“Where will you go?” Zyglavis asked quietly when Miho reached him, and she paused to look him in the face.

“Away,” she responded, “but never truly far. So don’t fuck this up.”

That was all the goodbye anyone got. The Heavens fell quiet, still, the calm before a storm of insecurity perhaps, but at least freedom from tyranny.

In the wake of their triumph, Miho and Mieke laid together, their legs entangled. Blissfully Miho raked her fingers gently through Mieke’s hair, savouring the silky sensation and the softness of her lover’s breath against her breast.

“Think they’ll come looking for you?” Mieke wondered aloud, before kissing against one of Miho’s nipples.

“In the afterglow of victory, you want to talk about them?” Miho scoffed, but her indignation was exaggerated.

“I just want you to be safe, to be free,” Mieke grumbled, tilting her head back to look up into Miho’s face.

“I think we’ve made a pretty good argument for leaving us alone,” Miho smiled, bring her lips closer to Mieke’s, “but if they’re stupid enough to disturb the peace, I’ll destroy them all.”

OR

XV. Made to kneel

Miho’s shadow cast a deep darkness across those at her feet. With their knuckles pressed to the glossy, marble floor outside the King’s throne room, Leon and Zyglavis found it impossible to rise, to move, to defy – though they had made their decision to stay loyal to the status quo.

Even though it was pointless.

“There was a time,” Miho said, eyes cast down at her brother, “I wanted to kill you, Leon.”

Her fingers slipped slowly through his hair, brushing his bangs up then tilting back his head so he could see her standing over him.

“A part of me still does,” she told him thinly, leaning down to whisper. “The ruination of a life, for the ruination of a life.”

“Miho, don’t,” Zyglavis barked, and her head snapped to him, her fingers curling in Leon’s hair and gripping tightly.

“Don’t what? Exact appropriate revenge upon the brother who handed me to a monster on a silver platter?” she growled, and it was echoed by Mieke snarling. “Do you know what he did to me, Zyglavis? How I held my heart so tightly bound because I didn’t want anyone to think for a second I used my power to steal away their free will for my own desire? That is what Leon did – snapped his fingers and had me sprawled, writhing beneath the furious thrust of the King and made me want it!”

Her exclamation was accompanied by the sudden rise of Leon’s body, and as if he was weightless, Miho flung him aside with such force his body cracked and imprint in the marble wall.

Before he could even let out a winded groan, other gods, including the enfeebled Karno, Krioff, Huedhaut and Scorpio came running down the wide hall in their direction. But they all slid to a swift halt when Mieke’s form bulked out into the celestial form of the Goddess of Canes Venatici, and snapped threatening jaws that barred their path.

“She will eat you,” Miho warned with a smirk. “Or at least chew you up and spit you out again; I don’t think she finds you any more tasteful than I do.”

“Miho,” Zyglavis entreated once more, redirecting her ire.

“He’s sitting in that throne room knowing full well what’s transpiring here,” she sniggered, glancing to the large doors behind Zyglavis’ back. “And he will leave you to languish at my mercy because he is a coward.”

It would have been the perfect moment for the King of the Heavens to burst onto the scene and prove Miho wrong – but he did not.

“Cling to that hatred you’ve developed for me, Zyglavis,” Miho began again, reaching for his cheek with her palm sizzling, “because…”

“Hate you?” he frowned, and it was not as a result of imminent pain. “What you’re doing is madness, but whether you believe me or not, I hate myself more for playing a part in what led you here.”

“Your self-deprecation is wasted on me,” she spat, enveloping him in flame and finally more formally announcing her presence to the King.

Zyglavis’ charred body cartwheeled through the immense doors, then skidded across the mirrored floor before slamming into a vacant throne.

The King stood beside it, and didn’t even look down at the smouldering body to his left. His pale eyes staring straight ahead and meeting Miho’s fierce gaze.

“That is quite enough,” the King’s voice rang out, and though his stance was strong, not a single soul missed the tremble in his voice.

“Oh?” Miho chuckled, stepping through the debris alone, while Mieke easily held any resistance at bay. “What now, my love? My greatest, deepest, desperate love? Enough? No no, not yet.”

As she cleared the crunching splinters of lacquered wood and crystal, the King began to gather his strength in blazing wafts of bright divine energy. It gathered from places older than anyone could remember, even the King himself had forgotten perhaps, but Miho seemed entirely unconcerned.

She stood, relaxed and waited.

“Majesty…” Zyglavis croaked, shakily raising himself up on one elbow, his uniform smoking, his skin charred. “Please… she…”

“She has NO power here!” the King roared in an absolutely unheard of display of raw public emotion.

“In one word, I will have all the power,” Miho whispered. “You will give me your stars as willingly as I once gave myself to you.”

“There is no such word,” the King growled. “And I will give you nothing but the end of your miserable existence,” he added arrogantly.

Though his voice had gathered some strength, there was still a kernel of doubt.

“Hmph,” Miho smirked, then admitted, “I nearly gave up. When I couldn’t find it buried anywhere in the Heavens, in no record or archive – then I realised you’d never have allowed it to be recorded.”

“Miho,” Zyglavis entreated once more, and in the split second her gaze shifted to him, the King launched a massive sphere of pulsating power at her.

For a second she was engulfed, muted by the potent luminosity, until tendrils of green flame wreathed in glittering, slithering, aqua shards broke through and revealed her unharmed at the centre.

“You knew if anyone ever discovered your true name,” she persisted unfazed, walking a slow, menacing path toward her target, “they could bring you to heel, and so I abandoned my fruitless quest to find it. Instead…”

“You have nothing!” he laughed, but Miho hadn’t quite finished her sentence.

“… I’m going to give you a new one.”

Any clamouring noise behind them died. All out in the corridor beyond Mieke, who still held back those who might defend the King, fell still and silent.

“Impossible,” the King gasped, readying another attack, greater fury building in his movements until Miho was but a few arms lengths before him.

“We shall see,” she smiled, eyes sparkling galaxies. “The former Goddess of Fate’s influence over what things are and will be, was the first thing I took – the power to re-write fate, after that.”

“It’s not…” the King actually stuttered, stepping backward.

“So I name you…”

All strained to listen, but only Miho and the King himself heard the name she whispered.

His eyes grew wide and the light around him shattered like glass then dimmed to nothing.

“Now give me your stars, you malodorous creature,” Miho hissed, pinching his chin harshly and pulling their faces close. “Then get on your knees and beg for your life.”

Tears touched the chalk of his cheeks, but with his true name on her tongue and in her mind, the King could not resist Miho’s command.

It was more of a slump that dropped him to the floor, shuddering and utterly pathetic in defeat.

“Please,” he murmured in a hoarse appeal, “spare me.”

Though he had done as she asked, Miho was still caught in the moment of receiving stars unlike any others she had stolen. Her senses expanded everywhere, every tiny little corner, and flooded her mind and heart with an almost overwhelming feeling of omnipotence.

“Spare you?” Miho parroted, her voice now carrying with it a dark reverberation. “No.”

As curt as the word itself, was the snapping of barbed, shadowy wires sprawling from Miho’s body and stringing the deposed tyrant up by wrists, neck and ankles.

A spectacle, a demonstration and a warning to any who might consider further overthrow.

“This era ends with you,” she snarled, biting the end off each word.

Then she tore him apart.

Whatever matter made up the former King of the Heavens was ripped asunder. Joints popped, bones broke, and blood sullied the regal décor of the throne room. Mushy piles of what could no longer be recognised as belonging to either man or god, hit the floor and quivered before melting into pools of silver that quickly evapourated.

Exhaling a slow breath, Miho closed her eyes – the moment had been such a long time coming, she wanted to savour it.

“Now what?” Scorpio called from beyond Mieke, the only one to raise his voice amid gods who still had their stars but were stuck dumb by what they had just witnessed.

“Mieke,” Miho dropped, and the huge dog returned to her human form before striding to take her love’s extended hand.

“What difference does it make to you,” Miho said, kissing the back of Mieke’s hand before drawing their bodies together, “if your puppet strings are pulled by a king, or a couple of queens?”

Staggering to his feet and clutching his slowly healing chest, Zyglavis peered at the entwined goddesses as they kissed – passionately, fearlessly.

“She really killed him?” Ichthys piped up, and Karno nodded slowly.

“Looks… like it,” he exhaled, sweeping his eyes to Leon whose head hung.

“What do we do?” a nervous god queried somewhere in the crowd.

“What do you do?” Miho laughed, her voice carrying to every ear in the Heavens. “You do exactly what you’re told, just as you always have.”

Grinning, Miho led her most loyal partner to the throne and sat, before the Goddess of Canes Venatici draped herself comfortably across a welcome lap.

“And,” Miho went on, sifting her fingers lazily through Mieke’s hair, “for you impotent zodiac gods, I have a whole host of ways for you to entertain me.”

“Can we have the King back now?” Ichthys whimpered. “Please?”

“Nope,” Miho snickered flippantly, lolling her head back, “but, little fishy, I guarantee that as each day passes you will wish for his return more and more.”

“And shame we control the wishes now,” Mieke added with a wide grin.

But it was Miho who had the final words.

“And the punishments.”

WHICH ENDING DID YOU LIKE BETTER?

[voltage-vixen]

Your Dying Day---The Punishments Edition

(WARNING! This is very angsty. Read at your own risk.)

Prologue: You spent the rest of your life being loved by your god and living a happy life. Staying true to his promise, your god stayed right by your side until your dying day. What were your final moments like?

Scorpio: Scorpio thank you for making me the happiest woman in the world, MC thought as Scorpio held her. Close to death’s door, MC was no longer able to speak. She had never been more grateful for Scorpio’s power. “You’ve made me the happiest man alive,” Scorpio whispered in a rare gentle voice, “You saved me from myself and taught me how to truly love. Thank you.” Please don’t forget about me. He grabbed her hand and touched his forehead to hers. “I will never forget about you. You will always mean the world to me.” Her eyes closed and she spent her final moments cherishing the warmth of Scorpio’s body against hers. Goodbye my love. Scorpio felt your body go limp in his arms. “Why did you have to go,” he moaned, “You promised you would be with me forever and that I wouldn’t have to be lonely ever again.” His heart immediately hardened-love wasn’t a lasting feeling, and he refused to ever feel that way again.

Dui: Dui was holding on of your hands, while Shadow Dui held the other. You felt complete with the two of them there, and you weren’t afraid to die with them by your side. “Dui,” MC weakly called out, “I want you to be happy. Will you pinky promise me that,” she glanced at both of the men sitting besides her, “Both of you pinky promise.” Dui linked his pinky with hers, but Shadow Dui refused. “How can you even say something like that,” he spat at her, “How do you even think we will be able to go on and live our lives without you. You are so important to the both of us.” The tears started to fall and you gently wiped them away. “I can’t believe how fortunate I was to have met you. My life was truly better because of you,” she tried to reassure him, “Plus, if you aren’t happy, I’m going to come back and forever haunt you.” Shadow Dui had disappeared, and she was just left with Dui. “I promise,” he whispered as he watched you close your eyes, “I promise to abide by your last wish.” He sat there shaking, and wondering if he ever would be able to keep his promise to you.

Ichthys: You wiped the tears falling from Ichthys’s face. “Ichthys, will you pull one final prank for me,” you asked knowing that pranks always lifted his spirits. Wiping his tears, he put on his best smile to try and make your final moments with him rememberable. “No wayyy,” Ichthys putting on his best act to sound normal, “You couldn’t even handle the awesomeness of my pranks. And besides, I want to make sure the most important person in the world to me, realizes how much I love her.” You were no longer able to speak, but you cuddled closer to him. The two of you felt your love for each other through your touch. “Keep pranking, but make sure you do your work too. I love you Ikky.” “I love you too.” He held you, even after you had passed on. Ichthys didn’t care how much time had passed, nor did he care that he would eventually have to return to work. All he thought about was he was going to live without your beautiful smile.

Krioff: Krioff had already lost his sister to the human world. Now he was about to lose you, and he wasn’t sure how to process the fact that you were soon about to be gone forever. How could he lose someone who loved and cared about him so much? Even on your death bed you wanted to split an ice cream with him because you knew how much he enjoyed it. MC was sleeping peacefully barely hanging onto life. He knew that the chances of her waking up alive were slim, and that any moment would be her last. Though he knew it was pointless, he made a wish to the gods in the wishes department, asking them to take him instead of you. Anything would be better than having to watch you perish in front of him. Krioff noticed your breathing started to get shallower, and he held your hand in his. “I’m not the best when it comes to words, but I want you to always remember that I love you.” He stayed by her side, until she was no longer living. Krioff felt a rush of emotions of both pain and anger, and he felt the fire ignite in his hand. If MC couldn’t live, why should anything else, he thought. He would give the other gods a reason to call him the god of destruction.

Zyglavis: Zyglavis clutched you tightly to his chest. Before you came into his life, he thought that his work and serving the heavens was the only thing that mattered. You changed his whole world though, when he realized how precious life could be when you had someone you loved. Not just any someone though-only you. “I will never give you up,” he said sternly, “I will not let death separate us. I will find a way to save you, I swear it!” You looked at his determined face and realized how grateful you were to have spent your life with someone that thought the world of you. She held his hand and brought it to her chest. “I’m so lucky to have been loved by you.” Gradually, her eyes began to close, never to reopen. Zyglavis sobbed when he realized she was gone. She was his everything and the most important part of his life. He could care less about anything else, he thought, as his mind slipped into a dark abyss.

Partheno: Partheno couldn’t lose you. He had searched the earth and the heavens to find some way to save you. In true desperation, he even begged the king to grant you an eternal life, but the king denied his request. You slowly felt your mind start to deteriorate, and the fears of losing your memories of Partheno were coming true. “Partheno, I’m going to forget all about you,” MC sobbed, “I’m already starting to forget our milestones. I can’t remember when we met.” His heart broke seeing you in so much pain, knowing there wasn’t anything he could do about it. He quickly held her close to his body, as he rested his head on hers. “It’s ok MC. I’m here now and that’s all that matters,” Partheno said in a soothing voice, “It’s going to be ok. I’m not going anywhere.” MC’s breathing grew more and more shallow, and Partheno held her tighter. “I love y-” and she was gone. Nothing else mattered now, Partheno thought. He felt the darkness that once lived inside of him reawaken, and he set out back to the underworld, where he felt no feelings, to forget this pain he now bared.

Drowning

Scorpio x MC

Prompt: “I saw her… bent over… and you–” “Your point?” “Why would you do this to me??”

Requested by @sweet-n-smexy hope you like it! :)

Genre: Angst

It was a Sunday. The rain fell from the dark clouds above, hitting the mansions roof with a hard force. However, the rain didn’t cover up the sounds of your sobs falling against Ichthys’ chest. His hands rubbing your back soothingly to comfort you, his face full of concern and worry at your outburst of tears. You gripped the fabric of his punishments uniform in your tight fists, clinging onto him as you cried.

“It’s gonna be okay ___...” He whispered softly, trying his best to not sound pissed off at Scorpio for doing this to you. You looked up at him through glossy eyes, his features blurry but you could tell that he had a frown etched across his face.

“What’s going on?” Zyglavis’ deep voice echoed through the room as he walked through the door, shutting it gently behind him. He looked taken back when he saw you cuddled up to Ichthys’ chest, a look of confusion crossing his face. “Where’s Scorpio?” He asked, getting closer to the pair of you.

“Erm…he…er…” Ichthys’ stuttered, unsure of how to answer the department minister with you in his presence, not wanting to upset you further.

“He cheated on me.” You whispered softly, pulling away from Ichthys to look at Zyglavis, his eyebrows raised and a look of shock struck across his face.

“Are you sure…?” He asked in disbelief, glancing out of the window at the rain pouring down momentarily. You scoffed at his words, shaking your head as anger bubbled up insid of you, masking over your sadness and heartbreak.

“Of course I’m sure! I-” You get cut off by the sound of the door slamming against the wall as Scorpio makes an unrefined entrance.

“Hey! You bastard fish don’t touch her.” Scorpio growled as Ichthys’ pulled you against him protectively. “___ come here. I’ve been looking everywhere for you.” He scowled, grabbing your wrist and tugging you towards him, but you ripped yourself away from him with a shake of your head. You didn’t want him to hear your thoughts, not wanting him to know how much your heart was hurting.

“Go to hell Scorpio.” Your voice came out deep and harsh, surprising yourself as well as Scorpio, him flinching away from you for a second.

“What’s going on? Don’t just tell me to go to hell when you’ve clearly been crying and not bother explaining why you’re acting like a brat.” His voice matched yours, cold and harsh words cutting through you like a knife. Your hard façade started to melt away and you looked down at your feet, trying to sniff back the tears that threatened to fall down your red cheeks.

“I saw her…bent over…and you-” Your managed to whimper out in a soft and gentle voice, completely opposite to how you had previously sounded. Scorpio’s hard façade didn’t melt away though, it grew harder and doubled in size. It had been an hour prior to your current situation that you had gone to deliver Scorpio some apples during his work, hoping to spend some time with him whilst he was working. You’d opened his door slowly after hearing muffled moaning sounds coming from behind the door, anxiety building up with every second. Only to look into his room to see what you assumed to be a goddess bent over the side of his bed, with him positioned behind of her, thrusting into her hard with his hands gripping her waist.

“Your point?” He spoke in a monotone voice that had no emotion or empathy for you. He made eye contact with you, his black hair covering up one of his eyes but one eye staring deep into your soul was enough for you. “Why would you do this to me?” You broke down into tears, not wanting to look at his sharp, handsome face anymore. Wanting to kiss him but also wanting to punch him in the face at the same time, but you knew you’ve never do either of those.

“You’re just a goldfish.” His final words broke your heart as he turned on his heel and stormed out of the door, slamming the door behind him. This time you turned to Zyglavis for comfort, looking up into his dark eyes.

“Please make sure no one summons me back here…” Your voice cracked from the strain of your sobs, looking down at your feet as they started to carry you out of the mansion and back to your apartment. You didn’t stop running the whole way home, thoughts running through your head and swimming you into a deep depression and funk you knew it would be hard to get out of. You knew you’d have to be more positive at some point before you’d drown from the emotions Scorpio had inflicted onto you. But at that moment in time, all you wanted to do was climb into bed and cry. Cry for the relationship and friendship’s you had just lost all because Scorpio had decided to betray you and sleep with another woman. Not just any woman, but a goddess. Someone you knew you would never be able to compete against, not only because of her stunning beauty, but because of her social status. Humans being looked down upon by most gods, including Scorpio, who since you’ve known him, has never shown any care for any other human beside you. So, it was clear to you that he would pick a goddess over you any day.

What you didn’t know was that once you had left the mansion with the intention of never going back, was that Scorpio sat by the reflecting pool. Watching you run home with tears in your eyes. Regret swimming around in his mind and heart for falling for the temptations of the goddess of lust. He didn’t want to be harsh with you when you confronted him about his cheating, but he knew if he apologised and was sincere with you, then you would forgive him in a heartbeat. Which left you vulnerable to him hurting you again, something he couldn’t do again. So, he tried to drive you away, which he did successfully despite the aching it brought him in his heart. He knew now that you could live a normal life and meet a man who would never hurt you the way he did. “I’m sorry.” He spoke his apology to your reflection in the pool, a lone tear leaving his eye and hitting the surface of the water. Making your image disappear from his sight for the last time.

Broken Promises ~ Part 2

Requested by @elaera23 Here is the conclusion to ‘Broken Promises’ ... angsty fluff maybe...

Scorpio x Reader

It’s been a couple of days since Scorpio and you have talked. A couple of days since the fight that left you wondering if you had a relationship of any kind left. If Scorpio wasn’t willing to put forth effort to fix the problem between the two of you then neither were you. The day after the fight you found out you were in charge of the next big event at the planetarium. It became easier to forget about the blowout you and Scorpio had.

But as the days passed you began to regret blowing up at Scorpio, screaming at him. You had said a lot of hateful things. And if it was the King that caused this problem in the first place..you didn’t even want to go there. That was the day that you allowed yourself to fully breakdown and think about everything that had happened that night. The day you allowed yourself to mourn the loss of a relationship you now weren’t sure was going to be salvaged. It was the only time you let yourself give into the grief, because the next thing you knew you were throwing yourself head first into preparing for your next event, even more immersed than before.

You knew you were worrying the other gods, you’d have to be blind not to know. They let you go though, content on letting it run its course before you were back to normal. That led you to where you were now, three and a half weeks later, lonelier than you had felt in a long time, you were at the planetarium about to begin your presentation. A few minutes later you were making sure everything was all set. You noticed Dui lean over and whisper something to Ichthys, pointing out somewhere into the audience as he did so. Whatever Dui said to him caused concerned looks to appear on both of their faces. “-tell her?” You overheard Ichthys say. You were about to ask what was going on when they returned to their positions, acting just the same as they had before, only with an underlying look of tension. Ignoring them, you turned back to your podium and took a deep breath.

An hour later your presentation was already done, time flying by. “Thank you everyone, hope you enjoyed the show. Have a great night!” You said into the mic, causing your guests to erupt into applause. As the crowd filed out of the room you struck up a chat with Tauxolouve about what you were planning on doing afterward. You saw Dui and Ichthys lean into each other and start whispering again, the worried looks from before coming back. You were curious as to why they were acting so secretive all of a sudden and adjusted your position to be closer to them, allowing you to eavesdrop on their conversation.

“Should we tell her he’s here? We don’t even know if she wants to see him,” you heard Dui say, sounding unsure. “Just let her know, man. We should at least tell her so that she has a choice, you know,” Ichthys replied. What the hell were they talking about? You turned around to start interrogating them when you heard a low “oh shit” and froze.

Scorpio was trying to make his way through the crowd. “Looks like we don’t have to tell her after all,” Dui said, noticing you staring at Scorpio. He ran his hands through his hair before moving to your side. “You don’t have to talk to him, _____,” he told you, placing his hands just above your elbows, “We can get you out of here before he even knows you’re gone.” You smiled up at him, slowly shaking your head. “Thanks for the offer, but,” you took a deep breath before slowly releasing it, “you and I both know this is something I have to do.” He nodded his head in understanding, Ichthys walking over to stop by your side and grab your hand. “Knock ‘em dead tiger,” he smiled at you, giving your hand a small squeeze before letting it drop.

You were almost standing in front of Scorpio when he looked over and saw you. He went stiff, staring at you with a look of apprehension in his eyes. You continued past Scorpio, walking outside of the planetarium knowing that he would follow. Hearing footsteps behind you, you knew you were correct in your assumption. Once you were far enough away that you couldn’t hear the other guests inside, you turned to face him. Really looking at him for the first time since your fight, you drank him in. He looked tired, though you weren’t sure if that was because of his work as a punishments god or because of the mutual silence from the both of you for the past three weeks. For a few moments, the two of you just stood there, taking the other one in. It quickly became apparent that he had missed you just as much as missed him.

“Hey,” he said softly, still looking at you with that slight apprehension. His hands were stuffed into his pockets, feet slightly shuffling against the concrete sidewalk. “Hey,” you whispered back. It was like the two of you were in a different reality, separated from everything else. Like if either of you even spoke a bit too loudly you would be transported back, the safety and calmness disappearing. You watched as he inhaled deeply before starting to talk.

“I’m such a fucking idiot, ____,” he said to you, the apprehension in his eyes fading into a pleading look. “This is all my fault, I shouldn’t have fought with you like that. I’m sorry I missed your first event- fuck I’ve felt like such a dick ever since then. I can’t believe I put you through that,” he rambled on, “I don’t expect you to forgive me, not after some of the shit I said, I just,” his eyes were darting everywhere, a wildly frantic sort of expression settling over his face, “I just need you to know how sorry I am.”

His rant was making your heart ache. Not even a week after the fight all of your rage turned into numbing sorrow and misery and for him to be here right now telling you how sorry he was, how he didn’t even think you should forgive him, made you want to break down into tears. You couldn’t though, you wouldn’t let him see just how much this all affected you.

“Why are you here, Scorpio?” You questioned. It was clear as day that the question took him by surprise. He hesitated, looking down at his feet. “That night,” he began, still not bringing his gaze back up to you, “I promised you I wouldn’t miss your next event. I didn’t care about seeing or talking to you, hell I just needed to be here for you. Even if you didn’t realize it.” He finally looked up to watch your reaction and seeing your confused expression he continued talking. “I should have told that damn trickster to fuck off that night, but I promised you I’d be there for you. I’ll always keep that promise, it doesn’t matter if you know or not, if we’re fighting or if we’re not talking. I-“ he stopped himself, tearing his gaze from you. He inhaled sharply before he peered back at you, his head ducked down slightly. “I meant what I said. I wasn’t lying when I said I love you. I love you and knowing that it’s my fault all of this is even happenin’ in the first place-“ you stopped him from finishing his sentence as you started speaking yourself.

“Scorpio, it wasn’t just your fault. We both got so out of hand,” you breathed out a tiny laugh while reaching your hands up to rub your neck, “neither of us was completely at fault. It wouldn’t have gotten so out of control if I hadn’t fired right back at you.” “God, I’ve missed you,” he whispered to you, “I just want to go back to how we were before, but I don’t even know if that’s something you’re willin’ to do. Hell, I wouldn’t blame ya if you told me to get lost and never come around you again.” He frowned. “If you really think that I would do that then you’re an even bigger dumbass than I thought,” you told him, a small smile playing on your lips. “I’ve missed you too, Scorpio, more than I think you realize.” He began grinning widely, hope starting to blossom in his chest that maybe this could work again.

You quickly closed the distance between the two of you, your hands shooting up to cup his cheeks. Noticing his confused expression, you sped on. “Scorpio, if there’s one thing I’ve figured out during this whole shit fest, it’s that I’m so in love with you,” you rushed out. You continued studying his face as he began to blush.

“You still love me?” He questioned you, following your every move as you began giggling, nodding your head. He grabbed you close to him and picked you up, spinning you around as he crashed his lips to yours. The two of you smiled into the kiss, your hands remaining on his face. He slowly set you down, his hands never straying from your body, whether it be your waist or your hips or your face. It took a long while for the two of you to pull away from each other, content to continue kissing each other on the deserted sidewalk.

Scorpio pulled away first, brushing your hair away from where it fell into your face before leaning in to press his mouth next to your ear.“I guess something good came out of that fight after all,” he remarked, pulling away and laying a kiss on your forehead. You sighed in pleasure before gazing up at him. “This doesn’t mean you’re allowed to miss any more of my events and then hope it ends well,” you stated, eyeing him as he smirked. “Don’t worry,” Scorpio said shaking his head, “I’m not missing anything else.”

As Scorpio continued holding you in his arms, you thought to yourself. Life really does have a weird way of working things out, but you were done complaining. After all, what exactly do you have to complain about anymore?

[212cinna]

[rikumorimachisgirl]

Hey there! I'm looking for something new to read on voltage. What are some of the less popular titles you can recommend and what routes are interesting to read? Many thanks!

Hello, Anon! Sorry it took a while for me to respond to this. I had actually typed a response yesterday, but my phone died and I was unable to save what I’d written. 

Voltage has a lot of wonderful stories. Depending on what genre you like to read, there’s bound to be a story you’ll enjoy. I don’t like mythology or the supernatural, which is why I’ve never read SCM or Enchanted in the Moonlight; however, I am a fan of action and suspense, and I also enjoy reading slice-of-life stories, so I’m glad that they have loads of those types of stories. 

Here are some of my recommendations: 

💕 True Love Sweet Lies. 

This has got to be one of the most underrated titles! I chanced upon this after reading Scandal in the Spotlight, and looking for another title to read. The story revolves around you as the MC, a freelance photographer, who unknowingly was able to snap a photo of a vital piece of evidence. Suddenly, you find yourself being hunted down by four hot detectives of Fuse Investigations (and their Ossan boss), and the Yakuza. This is guaranteed to take you on quite an adventure. The most popular route in this title is that of Sakuya Nanahoshi. He’s the resident Tsun, and his story develops nicely (so lucky I got this story for free!). The character I chose to read is one of the more unpopular ones (I have a type) - I chose Naomasa Sakura, a lawyer and son of a Yakuza boss. He’s a pretty complicated character, but I really like how the story all played out. I guess if there is anything I’d like to warn you against, it’s choosing Rui and Kiyoharu. Rui’s route was incredibly dry, and Kiyoharu lacked that ‘oomph’. 

💕 Finally, in love again.

I liked reading this title because it’s different - here, the MC is in her 30s, and she’s gotten a streak of bad luck - she was celebrating her 36th birthday, she has been single for over 10 years, and she has just gotten fired from being a pastry chef. That all changed when she attended a mixer, where suddenly, all the young and good-looking guys wanted to go out with her. In this title, you get to choose between two sets of routes - one with a guy of the same age as MC (her ex-boyfriend, to be exact), and the other routes are the ones with the younger guys (think about ten years her junior). I chose to go with the younger guy. Lol! It was tough to choose between Aki and Momoi, but I ended up choosing Aki’s route. Aki Fujishima is the son of the Wisteria CEO, and he owns Larme, a chic pastry shop. He hired MC and their love story pretty much revolved around that. I love this title because it took me through the evolution of their relationship - from the time they met until they became a family, so you pretty much go through all the highs and lows of their relationship with them. As expected, Aki, being the younger one in the relationship, had a lot of growing up to do (although you know, so did MC). It isn’t the most perfect story because sometimes MC (even in Momoi’s route) acts like she’s younger than these guys, but overall, that aspect is forgivable because the stories are well-written. 

💕 Butler Until Midnight

The prologue was pretty weird. The story is about an unassuming MC, who finds out in the strangest way possible, that she is the daughter of a Millionaire and that she will be introduced to society on her father’s birthday. She has one month to go through extensive training (think Princess Training), with one of the Ichijo Family’s butlers. So, again, I chose the least popular of the group - Kyo Aizawa. He’s a man of few words, and he’s incredibly loyal to his employer and to his baby sister. What I like about this story is that the MC isn’t as helpless as the one in My Sweet Bodyguard, and Kyo is the perfect match for her. I love how the stories in Kyo’s route always builds up to a heartbreaking climax before everything becomes resolved. The dialogue between the characters is so nicely written, too. This was worth all the coins I spent on it (including the special stories).

💕 Our Two-Bedroom Story

Why is this title even here? It’s pretty popular, IMO. I love, love, love this OTBS, and I was sad when, just like MFLK, they decided to end it. This is about MC finding out her mom was going to remarry and that her new stepbrother is someone she works with. I chose… dundundun… Kaoru Kirishima’s route. (I have a thing for them lone wolves…) He’s aloof and pretty talented, and he’s got a really sad backstory. He lives alone with his cat, Tama, until MC moves in. I like the pace of the story and how in revolved around their lives both at home and in the office. I love how the characters developed from being strangers to being somehow attached to each other. Kaoru’s stories always have the right amount of angst, and fluff. The banter between the guys is also fun to read.  You won’t regret buying the stories. 

I’m sure there are a couple more, but for now, I suggest you read these and tell me what you think. :)
