Im back and plotting and its angst/comfort with everyones beloved fish man

[xx-akubara-xx]

I'm deleting - not deactivating my instagram's Sevastian Von Eldritch fan account.

Between the uncomfortable memories of drama I was sucked into against my will, the obvious decline in quality in some posts due to the sheer amount of pressure of posting every day and keeping up with trends.- and the strange feeling that the account is just cursed in general... (Seriously, I had two negative life-altering events happen during periods of regular posting/high activity on this account.) I just... don't want the account to exist anymore.

I said I would go back to it one day. I was fairly close to 5k Followers. But it was just... not a fun account to get back into. Unless I posted something generic or fan-servicey, I lost followers by the handfuls.

Still- there's some art that I kinda liked, some that could have been better if I allowed myself the time and general pride in the fact that I did complete two different story arcs.

Here are some highlights.

Sevastian x RP MC – I Love You (Part II)

I’m back for the second part of this series where I will examine the relationship between Sevastian and the MC. Here I will look at the middle stages of their relationship where they admit their love for another. 

Always so protective of the MC – this is one of the things I love most about him. He would put himself at risk without an ounce of hesitation to protect the MC. He loves her so much; he would do anything for her, even die for her. And she shows her love for him here by risking everything to save him. She refuses to lose him.

 How sweet is this – he needed to see her. The MC is everything to him. The MC is literally the only person who has shown an ounce of compassion or love towards him. Sevastian has grown so much from when we first met him – no longer the icy, cold Prince, he is now a sweet romantic troublemaker who wears his heart on his sleeve.

 He loves her, he loves her, he loves her so much. I don’t think words can express exactly how great his love is for her and that is why it is such a simple, sweet scene. There are no grand gestures, just Sevastian bearing his heart to the MC, repeating “I love you” three times, emphasizing his love. Oh, and somehow, he can make a dungeon romantic.

 Reigning Passions is known for heavy angst, and this scene is one of those reasons why. This entire scene on the balcony absolutely gutted me. Probably my most read scene, and every single time I read it, I have to put my phone down and stop reading for a while because for this moment, I am the MC. My lover, who is on trial for his life, just left, after we promised each other to stay away from each other and I don’t know when I will see him again. And now, all I am left with is this feeling of emptiness and sadness. Brilliant writing to be able to leave the reader with such heavy emotion.

This scene slowly builds anticipation, paralleling Sevastian and the MC’s relationship. Sevastian has such a deep, solemn love for the MC that he places reverent kisses on her body – he is filled with awe and admiration of her. She is truly his queen who he loves deeply and respects. I haven’t included everything in these screenshots, but the entire scene is beautifully written, it shows just how sweet and tender their love is for one another.

Finally, the MC tells Sevastian that she loves him too. I don’t know what took her so long, probably him being in the dungeon and his life in jeopardy. But she does so, very simply, as if it was something she said to him every day. And no major reaction from his in return – just “I love you” and “I know” that doesn’t sound at all like any other famous fictional couple, does it? I’d like to think he knew the entire time she loved him, so this came as no surprise. He happily gave her the time she needed to say how she felt, no pressure at all from him, even if maybe he really wanted needed to hear those words from her.

Our lovely Winter Prince doesn't get enough love in my opinion. So, I have written Tristan's proposal from Episode 10 of S1 from Sevastian's pov. This picks up right when Sevastian is about to leave after delivering the scrolls. Enjoy!

LI: Sevastian

Sevastian was just about to walk out of the room when a knock from the other side sounded.

"Are you expecting company?" He asks her. She shakes her head, looking confused.

"Princess MC, may I come in?" Tristan's voice asks from the other side.

Jealousy. White hot and burning runs up Sevastian's spine at the sound of Tristan's voice outside of MC’s rooms. It's so strong that it makes him pause.

He shouldn't be feeling jealous. He has no claim on her. No right to feel this way. Hell, he doesn't even know what he's feeling. He also can't decide if he likes it or not.

All he knows at the moment is that he can't not see what is about to happen.

He watches as MC’s eyes widen, her jaw dropping in shock as a slow grin starts to spread over his face. Oh, this is going to be fun.

"Looks like your suitor has arrived," he says. He almost laughs as the red heat of anger and irritation spreads across her cheeks.

"I did not ask him to come here," she says, her voice clipped and agitated.

"Which is what will make this encounter much more fun," he tells her.

"What-?" He has just a split second to duck behind the curtains before Tristan bursts into the room. Sevastian's eyes narrow. She could have been indecent, you unmannered bastard.

"Tristan! What are you doing here?" MC asks. Sevastian scolds himself for enjoying the fact that she doesn't want the pompous ass known as the Summer Prince here.

"I just couldn't stay away a moment longer," Tristan tells her.

"Tristan, I have to-!" He cuts her off by grabbing her hand and shushing her with a finger to her lips.

Sevastian does not like that at all. But the grin stays in place because he knows that MC could smack Tristan's hand away hard enough to hurt him.

"Please, my love. Allow me to say what I have come to say before my courage flees," he tells her, his voice sounding desperate enough that a small snicker escapes Sevastian's lips before he can stop it. Luckily Tristan doesn't seem to notice.

"I feel like fate has sewn her thread with the sole purpose of bringing you into my life," Tristan begins to drop to one knee and Sevastian's grin drops with him. "And I would be a fool to ignore the hand of fate..."

"Tristan, please-!"

Don't say it. Please, don't say it. The words are like a mantra in Sevastian's head, but he doesn't know why. MC deserves to be taken care of and treated like royalty. Not to live in exile if she were to choose him.

Choose him? Where did that come from? Sevastian decides not to dwell on it for the sake of not missing what happens next.

"Would you do me the honor of becoming my bride?" Tristan finishes his proposal, taking out an elaborate ring with a big jewel and a gold band.

Sevastian wants to scoff. She would never where something so much.

He realizes that Tristan is waiting for MC's response, looking up at her. He is also looking at her, holding his breath. She looks like a fish out of water, gaping at the kneeling fool with disbelief. She doesn't want it.

Sevastian shouldn't be so satisfied with that revelation.

"I...this is a lot," she says at last, looking like she wants to escape.

"Isn't it just?" Tristan replies.

"I...need some time?" She says it like a question. This makes Sevastian's eyes narrow in anger. She shouldn't ever feel like she can't have time to choose for herself or feel pressured for anything. Not for the first time, he wonders how she grew up. What she had to go through to survive.

And not for the first time, those thoughts make him feel guilty down to his core for having everything handed to him on a silver platter. Just because he was born with noble blood.

Tristan rises from his knees, his voice turning sickly sweet. "I know this may come as a shock. After all, how could a girl of such humble origins ever anticipate a proposal from a prince?"

He makes the words sound like a prize rather than the insult that it is. Sevastian wants to suffocate him.

He bows, putting the ghastly ring back into his coat.

"I will give you the time you need to adjust to your new reality. I have waited all my life for a love such as this. I can wait just a little bit more," and with that, he leaves.

MC is frozen still, staring at the door that Tristan just left from. She turns to Sevastian as he exits the curtains, looking like she wants to laugh, like she finds this whole thing funny.

Sevastian does not.

"I...Sevastian? What is it? What's wrong?" She asks quickly, looking confusedly at his stoic features.

He can't answer her, not when he doesn't even know himself. He doesn't understand these feelings. He is fond of her, yes, but he can't help but feel like it is something more.

It is terrifying.

And even though he dreads what he is about to say, even if it goes against everything that he is feeling, he still says it because he wants what is best for her. He wants her to have the things that he can't give her.

"You should accept", the words are monotone coming out of his mouth. He knows that his face is a blank mask, he perfected it long ago.

"What?" She breathes, looking like he had just struck her. The look cuts him deeply, but he can't take back the words now. No matter how much he wants to.

"Tristan's proposal,” he elaborates.

Don't say it. Don't say it, Sevastian. Don't-!

"You should accept it."

Dammit, you said it.

Sorry for the constant use of the word "he". Still trying to figure my writing out lol. I hope y'all enjoyed!
