The Love-Sick Monster Slayer
Werewolf x Reader
Summary: A fierce Monster slayer unknowingly falls for a monster she has sworn to kill. The truth is revealed and she now has to decide to follow her heart or her oath.
Tropes: Forbidden Love + Hidden Identities
A/n: a pretty lazy ending TBH but whatever
When you first saw Vaelrik, you were enamoured.
You weren’t sure about love-at-first-sight, but you certainly couldn’t take your eyes off him.
Standing shirtless amongst the crowded make-shift market, he clutched a brown paper bag filled with groceries tight to his chest. His dark tousled hair, sun-kissed skin, homemade necklace, gave him a free-spirited look. He continues to munch absent minded into the apple that’s clutched in his large scarred hand. He turns to return your gaze, looking down upon your form with those dazzling green-eyes, a hint of wonder at your blatant stare, more so bemused with your obvious entrancement.
For such a large and imposing man, he sure did have his boyish charm.
That first encounter only lead to many more impromptu meetings.
“We really have to stop meeting like this!” He would say with a large grin slapped across his face. If you didn’t know any better, you would think he seeks you out. But never paying too much mind to the oddity of your accidental frequent meetings, you were always more than happy to be brought back to him one way or another.
Continued shared moments lead you to form a special bond. The type of relationship that blooms from time spent together.
Your friendship began to develop into a song and dance of ‘will they, won’t they?’ When Vaelrick would flirt relentlessly, enjoying how you would seemingly fall apart so obviously at every word he spoke. Yet despite your flustered nature, you did nothing but drink up his word-play, enjoying the sanctity of his compliments. Despite your obvious affections for him, you remain in denial about your romantic feelings.
“Oh you’re so in love with me!”
“N-no I’m not!”
Oh -yes you were and he thrived on it. Knowing that one day you’ll be his, if he’s patient enough.
And by all means, he was right.
One fateful night, you both stared up at the waxing gibbous moon, the stars were out in all its glory shinning down upon the two of you after a heated passionate moment shared together, where you held eachother and he moaned your name as you both forever crossed the line of your friendship. Now becoming unofficial lovers.
The winds would breeze across your forms, making you want to cuddle up closer, and you do, holding Vaelrick impossibly close, his fingers grazing your arm.
“I want to stay but I have work tomorrow… busiest night in the month.” You would say.
“Me too… I have a family thing… but I’ll see you real soon love.” He would say. “… Want to go again?” He’d ask, eliciting a giggle from you as he yanks you into a new position, all whilst you nod eagerly.
Why couldn’t you go back to that time?
You continue to stare at the werewolf half-transformed before you. The full moon edging into the sky to begin transforming all creatures bound by a curse to its presence; which just so happens to include Vaelrick.
He stares back at you with wide broken eyes to see the woman he loves wielding the slayers reaper blade. Undoubtably, meant for his neck.
Your broken mind reeling helplessly at the sight. Never once had you anticipated your presence to bring such a defeated look to Vaelricks face.
“I-I-it’s okay!” You would say, more so for yourself than him. “I’ll just take you to a witch and-“
“Y/n-“
“And w-we will just show her where you were bitten.”
“Y/n-“
“How could I not have noticed a bite mark on you!” You say slapping your forehead. “That was stupid of me! I could’ve helped you sooner. A witch can fix this.”
“Y/n!” Vaelrick angry yell snaps you from your panicked ramblings.
“A witch can’t fix this.” He says with a defeated tone that doesn’t match your Valerick. “I’m a hybrid.”
“No.” You mumble in absolute shock.
“I’m born this way love.”
“No!” Your drawn out denial and the slamming news about your lover has your knees slowly giving out below you.
Clutching tighter at your reapers blade.
The action causes Vaelrick to flinch, helplessly watching you fall apart mere steps away. Caught between his want to comfort you, and his instincts screaming at him to run.
“I’m a hybrid love.” He mutters helplessly, forcing you to hear the poisonous words again. “I was blessed at birth, not cursed at a bite.” He turns his back to you, slowly crawling to the floor until he takes off at high speed, leaving you alone to pick up the pieces.
You only took your eyes off for just a moment.
One minute you’re looking at a flower stall, the next you were swallowing the panicked breaths bubbling to the surface when you realised your son is no longer by your side.
Your head whips side to side, your eyes scanning the crowd for a familiar mop of hair. You were mere seconds from screaming your son‘s name over the crowd, the rising panic from your chest squashing all semblance of any social anxiety.
But it was right then, you catch a glimpse of your adorable son talking with a large man crouching before him.
“Lost your mum have you?” The familiar deep voice punches you in the gut. Just your luck to run into your past lover in the same place you first met him. You watch your son nod wordlessly, his wobbly chin betraying the brave face he’s trying to hold. “What’s your name?”
“Fenwik, Mh 2.” Your son answers, holding four fingers up.
“Fenrik? Sounds like my name! I’m Vaelrick!” He says enthusiastically, making your son muster a small smile. “Come on, let’s go find you mum!” He says enthusiastically, making your heart twist painfully.
Just as the man stood, grabbing a hold on your son’s small hand, your eyes lock onto Vaelrik. His bright and lighthearted smile gets drained from his face.
“MUMMY!” Fenrik screams, pulling away from Vaelrik and launching himself into you, throwing his arms around you, clutching you tightly.
You can feel his tiny heart fluttering against your leg. You pull your son up in your arms and hold him close to your chest, patting his back soothing away his nerves just as much as it soothed your own. “Let’s go home baby boy.” You whisper, turning your back on the man you loved.
It was surprisingly just as painful as when he ran away from you all those years ago.
“H-hang on a minute.” Vaelrik says, grabbing your upper arm. “Is this your mum Fenrik?” Vaelrik asks with a hint of desperation.
“My mummy.” Fenrik nods agreeably.
“Who’s your dad?” Vaelrik asks, his wide eyes looking broken like all those years past.
“Dad?” Fenriks small head tilts to the side.
Vaelrik looks towards the floor in painful horror, unsure what to do, or what to say, not understanding and being overloaded with too much information all at the same time. Does this mean?
“Fenrik,” You say, tucking a lock of hair behind his small ear. “This is your daddy.” Vaelrik head snaps up at you. It’s only now that Vaelrik is standing so close to you, that he’s now realised how tired you look, a miserable smile pressed to your lips.
“My daddy?” Fenrik asks, seemingly unsure on what the word even means, but all the same he just nods and accepts this. His little legs kick beneath you. His silent way of telling you to put in down.
You gently lower him to the floor and watch him bolt towards the candy stall, surely grabbing free samples from the old lady running the booth.
“That’s-“
“Our son.” You say dryly, struggling to look at Vaelrik who, despite your initial meeting- looks great. His skin remains tanned with a youthful glow, his shiny green eyes looking bright and fresh. Where yours feel bloodshot from exhaustion.
“Ours would imply I was there to begin with.” He says, looking at you from the side. “How could you not tell me?”
“How could I?” You retort back with a daring venomous tone. “You took off like a lightening bolt.”
“As if you couldn’t use those slayers skills of yours to find me.” He reply’s back drying but you only shrug your shoulders.
“Why would I look for someone I love who’d think I’d slay them?” You say back with that steady facade you use to have. “It’s just a job for fucks sake - I would have never chosen my job over-“
Before you could speak another word, Vaelrick grabs your cheeks harshly and pulls you into the most desperate kiss you’ve ever had.
He pulls away as you look up at him breathless.
“I’m sorry… I was stupid… can we go home?”

"A proposition"
chapter fourteen
Brennan Sorrengail x Riorson reader Blurb: Star gets a letter from Viscount Tecarus and now she has to decide if she will bring a certain person along. wc: 7.2 ☆ SPOILERS FOR THE EMPYREAN SERIES. Uses pronouns: she/her. i use Star as a nickname as y/n sounds weird, and i'm awful with names.
A/N: sorry for the late update. This month has been long and difficult. And last night something happened that I completely forgot to post.
Masterlist ☆ Dragon guide ☆ Star's story ☆ Empyrean guide ☆ Support me
By the end of the week the swords are finished except the runes. That's what I'm currently doing, the assembly meeting is in full swing and yet here I am, carving runes in two swords. No one has said a word so far.
Technically we don't have a subject for this meeting but it's always so nice to see each other again.
I continue carving the runes in the steel when Kylynn speaks up. "So far we've rebuilt quite a bit. Currently we're working on the stone houses that got damaged so the people can live safely in their own home, then we will go over to rebuild the wooden houses." Her voice speaks over the room as she eyes the large empty map that Aethan found in an old storage room. The large map, complete with all the places in the known world showing, a stark difference with smaller maps my dad would get it from Navarre before he turned against them.
Speaking of Aethan... I tilt my head up to where he's hovering over my shoulder, his light brown hair looks tousled and messy. If there is one thing we share is that we both sleep bad.
One eye is open and the other closed as he looks at the rune carvings I've made so far.
"You're falling asleep." My voice comes out sweet and he blinks to open both of his eyes but I can see the red line in his eyes that mark his exhaustion, the bags under his eyes that only enhance the exhaustion marking his face.
"M' not. It's just satisfying to see how precise you can carve runes." He mumbles as his head inches lower to my shoulder. "Let me guess, your dad taught you runes from the moment you were born?" He finishes speaking as his head lays completely on my shoulder. I chuckle at his antics. "Not exactly. I was seven." I explain as my eyes don't move from where I'm carving.
"So since you were born." He repeats as he moves to lean his forehead against my shoulder.
I go to open my mouth but someone beats me to it. "We'll call this meeting to an end." Ulices calls out as he collects his stuff, just like the rest and leaves. They all leave one by one but I don't move, too focused on carving to care that I have to move.
Before Felix collects his stuff he lays a letter before me, the wax seal recognizable as the one from Viscount Tecarus.
I look at it debating whether or not I should open it now or later. "Did you know that being your aide is a difficult job." Aethan's voice draws my focus away from the letter. I raise a brow at him, taking it seriously as the worry for my friend kicks in. "Is that why you're so tired? You should've just said. I would've-" he cuts me off before I can finish. "I was joking, i... It was sarcastic. Don't worry about me. I'm completely fine you mother hen." He assures me, his hand ruffling my hair in a playful manner.
He chuckles, his face showing a hint of fondness. "You could look completely exhausted and you would still be the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." The compliment gets my cheeks to blush, the flush giving me a warm feeling. "Freaking goddess." He mumbles and the magic in my veins awakens, my veins coloring red, glowing a soft hue. Uncontrollable as I feel it spread to the veins to my hands.
"Most call it witchcraft." I counter softly. "Those with knowledge would just call it magic." He argues back with a joking tone.
I don't continue the subject. Talking about my magic is never easy as I barely know what it is or what the limits are. "Get some sleep Aethan. You clearly need it." I lean back in my chair and look at him. "I don't have anything for you anymore. I'll see you later at dinner. Don't be late." I warn. "I will drag you out of bed and down three floors." I threaten. He grins, clearly used to my threats to make him do something.
"Of course, my princess." He speaks in Tyrrish and for a moment it catches me off guard. I haven't heard the language since the battle of Aretia. If anything, it felt as if my mind just blocked it out. I blink through my confusion. He grins and gives me a mock bow and leaves. Leaving me to look stunned at his leaving form.
☆
By dinner time all the carvings are in the swords. And just in time to see Aethan in the mess hall, the same table as Brennan.
"Since when do you two talk?" The question slips out of my mouth before I can think. I've never seen them together but then again, I've never seen Brennan with anyone besides Felix. Well, and me.
"We haven't actually said a word." Aethan clarifies and I raise a brow once I sit down. I give him a long look that says enough.
He won't talk to Brennan because of his mother.
"Keep your sharp tongue to yourself. He's harmless." I scold him in Tyrissh. It took a few hours but eventually my tongue came back to me. "You don't have to defend me." Brennan responds and for a moment shock consumes me. It's then that I realise that his dad had taught him Tyrrish.
I give him a small apologetic smile but I kick Aethan's leg hard under the table and he wince as his hand covers his mouth to keep the yelp Inside. I try to suppress my smile but a small one still makes an appearance on my face. "Little pyscho." He mutters and my smile widens.
I turn my attention to Brennan. After a long time of discussing with the assembly I might've found something that he can do to help.
I take a deep breath trying to steady the beat of my heart. I don't know what it is or what causes it but when I look at him, hell when he just talks, my heart beats faster in an instant. "I have contacted viscount Tecarus. He was my father's first ally and he's the viscount of Cordyn. First in line to the Poromish throne." I start my explanation and he listens intently. "I've talked it over with the assembly and we are willing to bring you along to a meeting in the viscounts Palace." His eyes widen slightly, in suprise no doubt. "The meeting is scheduled Sunday, so the end of the week. Felix and I are definitely going as a dragon goes fastest and I don't have one. But if you feel like it you are welcome to tag along. We think your tactical skills might become handy on the negotiation side. Perhaps you might even get a rank out of it." I propose. I took me all day yesterday to get that one through. I lost my voice by the end of it from having used my voice too much. And yelling, definitely yelled way too much. But we have someone who's good at being a tactician, why not use him? Give him a chance to prove himself. Plus he's growing on me.
I'm starting to understand more and more why Felix said I was too emotionally involved.
"Can I come?" Aethan Chimes in. I roll my eyes and rub my hands over my face. "Your choice." I say to Brennan. "Think it over. I need an answer by Wednesday." I say kindly as I get up and take a biscuit from Brennan's plate. He flashes me a small smile and I can't help but mirror it.
I start walking past them but Aethan's voice seems to follow. "Can I come too?" I turn around to so him pout mockingly. "No." I deadpan. "But-" "No." I cut him off with a smile. "Why him?" He argues but I know he's not genuinely hurt. "He's handy. He's smart. I need him to have Tecarus on our side." I explain as I see Aethan's face turn more sour. He turns to Brennan as I start waking away. "Lucky bastard. She likes you. She doesn't easily like people but you managed to catch her eye." I hear Aethan say to Brennan but I don't stop walking. What Aethan is saying is true. I can't explain it but I don't easily let people in. Only when my feeling about them is good. And with Brennan it feels good, too good.
☆
It's almost midnight when a knock sounds on my door. I groan as I shift in my bed. I'm still awake, but moving out of my bed feels like walking through hell.
"Who is it?" I yell through the door. "Brennan." I hear his soft voice on the other hand and my stupid, reckless heart starts pounding again. I roll out of my bed and fall to the floor. I groan again, I always forget how high my bed actually is.
I get up from the floor and walk to my door. I open it to see him wide awake. "Did I wake you?" He asks as his eyes turn worried. "I wasn't asleep but you did force me out of my bed." I respond sleepy. "You could've just said come in." He says playfully and a sheepish smile makes it way on my face.
"Come in." I play along as I open the door with an over exaggerated bow. He laughs and walks in, closing the door for me.
I don't even bother as I lay back in my bed again. "Why are you here?" I ask as I wrap myself in my thick blankets.
"To tell you I wanna come along to Viscount Tecarus. If that's still allowed of course." His voice lowers to a whisper and the look on his face turns worried. I sit up a little straighter, pieces of hair falling in my face. "Hey, I gave you a proposition, I'm not taking it back. Even if the assembly says no, if you wanna come you're coming. Assembly can go to hell, it's my throne." I reassure him and he smiles softly as he fidgets with my blanket.
"Thank you. Really." He says softly. "No. Thank you. Im not sure where I would end up if you were not gonna come along. I'll give you the details tomorrow." I mutter as I lay back down.
He walks to where I'm laying as he adjust the blankets. Pulling them over me, tucking me in so I'm warm.
My eyes flutter closed as I turn in bed, my back now to him as I pull my baby blankets closer to me. He covers me again.
"Get some sleep." He assures. "Goodnight." He adds softly and my body relaxes.
The last thing I feel before the darkness consumes me is the feeling of his lips on my forehead. The feeling lulling me completely to sleep.

Meet the OCs: Cherrythorn (she/they/he) - @brokentranstar
Warrior of ShadowClan. She was born to a medicine cat father, and ex-kittypet mother. She was apprenticed to the leader, and quickly after that, her father admitted to having sired her and her brother, from that moment on Cherrypaw tried their best to prove their worth to the Clan. Cherrythorn got really ambitious after becoming a full warrior and losing his younger sister. He decided he really wanted to be deputy then, though he had no luck in it, he wanted a good explanation for why he wasn't chosen. She didn't want to believe it simply wasn't meant to be, so when her previous apprentice approached her with complaints about her behavior, she decided that her apprentice was at fault, so she drowned her. Moons later, when they found their father injured, they kept him from calling for help, and waited until he died, believing that he's the reason no one respects them, and blaming him for their mothers death. He eventually became leader by force, but was executed by his own brother, and ended up in the Dark Forest.
Shadowtail (he/him) - @lavadragon
My guy Shadowtail, who was created to be unabashedly edgy. He is a warrior of Rippleclan, a clan who lives in a wheat field near a large pond. The clan was called that because of the way the wind blows across the wheat appears like ripples on water. Shadowtail was born with a star marking on his head, which made his family think that he had been blessed by Starclan and given some epic powers or something. So far it doesn't seem like he as any unusual abilities aside from being a super fast runner and a master of stealth. Although, he does hide a dark secret. He is often tormented by his own shadow.. who seems to come to life when nobody is looking.. The shadow is solid black as shadows typically are, but it still retains the white star on its forehead, and has creepy white eyes. Apart from this, Shadowtail is a devoted and loyal warrior. He doesn't like to smile much, but he's chill.

Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star Origin Story

🌸🕊️🎐🌕🌸🕊️🎐🌕🌸🕊️🎐🌕🌸🕊️🎐🌕🌸🕊️🎐🌕
In 4994 BCE, Vanessa created the Land of Fountains. However, Diabolos sent one of his generals to corrupt half of it with his magic while it was still in Beta Mode, much like he did with the Garden of Light. Vanessa separated the corrupted part, which became known as Dark Falls. She locked it away after setting it free, but Diabolos had already planted his Negative Boss, Goyan, and his Illusion Boss, Akudaikan, inside. Through a small creak in the seal to Dark Fall, located in the Land of Foundations, they managed to get small bits of magic from the Fountains of Trees, Fire, Earth, Water, and Gold. They then used this magic to create generals from the elements.
6,986 years later, in 1992 CE, Vanessa sensed that the seal was getting weaker. She moved the Fountain of Sun to the Ocean Town Yuunagi, where the future Cure would soon be born. Vanessa then created the Splash Star items and went to the Royal Garden, where her daughters, Sapphire (16,545 years old), Emerald (15,542 years old), and Ruby (8,500 years old) were. There, she saw the four different colored Cure Chaos she had created sleeping on Rudy’s lap.
The first, whom Ruby had named Flappy, was pale blue with a sky blue flower marking on his forehead and petal markings on the edge of his eyes. His mood orb was a pale blue swirl and his tail was long and had a flower shape at the end. His wings are sky blue petals and he has a reddish-hot pink necklace with a golden yellow orb on it.
The second, whom Ruby had named Choppy, was pale yellow with a light pink butterfly marking on her forehead and half butterfly markings on the edge of her eyes. Her mood orb was a pale yellow swirl that looked like it was being unraveled and her tail was long, unlike most Chaos, and had a butterfly shape at the end. Her wings are light pink butterfly wings and she has a pink necklace around her neck with a small aqua orb.
The third, whom Ruby had named Moop was younger than the first two so he is smaller and different (this only applies to these young Cure Chaos). He was pale green with a yellow ball-like image with a small heart in the corner marking on his forehead. His mood orb was a small pale green swirl and since he is still young he had no tail like the others but instead a red orb. He also has no wings or necklace like the others.
The fourth, whom Ruby had named Foop, was younger like Moop, she is smaller and different (this only applies to these young Cure Chaos). She is light pink-white with a pink swirl marking on her forehead. Her mood orb was a small light pink-white swirl that looked like it is being unraveled and since she is still young she had no tail like the others but instead a blue orb. She also has no wings or necklace like the others.
Vanessa had given Flappy and Choppy their necklaces as a symbol of them being the partners of the future Cures. She linked Flappy and Choppy to the Mix Communes and linked Moop and Foop to the Splash Commune. Vanessa gave them the Spiral Rings and the power to upgrade Flappy and Choppy to the Crystal Communes. She gave the Fairy Charafe to Princess Filia, who sent it to Mobius when they were attacked. Vanessa left the four Chaos in Princess Filia's care. In 2006, the seal to Dark Falls was broken, and Akudaikan and his forces attacked the Land of Fountains. When they do, Princess Filia sends Flappy and Choppy to Mobius to find their partners, whom they had met five years prior.

"Riverstar, don't you ever feel... neglected?"
Enroute to the Fishing Stones, Riverstar paused, glancing over at Oaktooth. The grey tom looked greatly troubled, as evidenced by how the white marking between his eyes was furrowed in thought, and how heather-blue eyes did not quite look at her. He was gazing off into the distance, expression contemplative, and the tortie stopped to listen to him, her fluffy tail swaying.
"How so? I know you certainly aren't neglectful of me."
She bumped his shoulder in teasing, and that seemed to do the trick, even if only for a moment. Chuckling, he nodded his agreement--his bias had been evident long before they became mates--but soon seemed dismal again.
"It isn't any of us I'm talking about, but... Don't you feel like StarClan has been ignoring us lately?"
Ah. Understanding gently warmed Riverstar's expression with concern, and she nudged her head against Oaktooth's shoulder, redirecting him off the paw-beaten path. Following her lead, they came to sit under her mate's namesake. Motioning for Oaktooth to lay down, she joined him among the oak's thick roots, nestling against his warm flank.
Silent for a moment, she drank in the sounds of the forest. The call of newleaf birdsong, the subtle breeze working through the trees, and very distantly, she could hear some of their warriors taking their apprentices out to train.
"... Sometimes, I do," she finally said. "It's hard not to doubt StarClan sometimes when so many terrible things happen, and no higher power intervenes."
Oaktooth hummed his acknowledgement, nodding.
The clan had been feeling uneasy as newleaf went on and more kits were showing up at their camp's entrance. Abandoned by their mothers, one of which brought directly to them with the loner declaring she had no use for a defective child, many fretted over what it meant for the clan. Riverstar had reasoned that StarClan was giving them these kits as a sign, showing the depth of the clan's caring nature, but others worried.
These kits came paralyzed, diseased, sick. Many died within a moon, and rumors had begun to spread that StarClan was punishing them for their kindness by having these dying kits drain their herbs and waste prey that could go to clan-born mouths.
Oaktooth was feeling the division keenly, often having to mediate, and Riverstar felt for him.
"Do you remember that lone she-cat--Quick?"
Oaktooth nodded.
"In her dying breaths, I felt her gratitude. Even if her kits do not survive, she knows they will be in comfort. That is what we represent for these kits--a place they can live out the remainder of their days loved and treated with kindness, whether that be one moon or one hundred."
Looking up, Riverstar peered beyond the thick canopy of leaves to the blue skies. A few clouds drifted by, deepening the dappled shadows that the trees cast with their broad branches, and briefly, one crossed over the sun, causing the sunlight to dim.
"I don't want to believe that being kind and treating cats from all walks of life with care as a punishment. StarClan should recognize that being part of a clan does not separate us from other cats. It shows us how to stay united, and lend aid even to those who may not understand our ways, and those who may end up leaving us."
The clouds parted, and Riverstar shut her eyes, feeling her fur warmed by the rays of sun that split through the canopy.
"We'll keep doing what we do because we know it is right. Even if StarClan is ignoring us, we still have each other--don't we?"
Opening her eyes, warm blue met soft lavender, and Oaktooth nodded, his own gaze crinkling in a smile.
"Yes," he agreed, leaning in and bumping their foreheads together, Riverstar feeling the rumble of his purr vibrate against her fur. "Even if the stars go out, we will have each other."

This is What We Sound Like (Part 2)

She felt like she was breaking into a million pieces as memories of the past few months flashed before her eyes. The nightmares, her heated words with Yun, his departure and vow that he would drown the world in his darkness, and then her discovery of her eldest son’s room empty of his things. If she could reverse the sands of time, slap her past self–if she really wanted to be like Penelope she should HAVE noticed the signs.
Listened to his advice, listened to what he knew Ming Chi was capable of. Instead, she had blindly trusted her aunt, believed in the best of her, of their adopted homeland and their birth family.
Landing on the roof of a pavilion that overlooked the village, she hugged herself as she cried when a cruel laughter echoed on the winds, causing her to look around as the winds whipped around her and she swore she saw her brother’s demonic appearance again, the golden marbled veins pulsing while an evil glint shimmered in his ice blue eyes. And he threw back at her all of her doubts, her shame, most of all his last words on repeat caused her to snap and lash out as she let out a roar so loud and powerful, humans from the other side of the veil believed that it meant that a powerful storm was on its way.
She had listened to her inner demons, allowing Ming Chi to paint the world for her instead of using her own colors when it came to her past.
Her blood family.
Most of all, how she should rule.
The world felt like it was crashing around her, the pain and heartache-she tore at the robes and tried to scrub off the makeup, clawing at her hair. When she came to her ‘senses’ she realized that she was in an alley of sorts. Savory spices and meats filled her nostrils, the sweets of candies and promising fruits-a festival of sorts in place.
Right. That’s right, that’s why Lilu was getting her dressed up for.
She then caught her reflection in the mirror left outside of someone’s house, and gasped softly.

Clawed fingers touched the polished reflection as she saw the silvery white markings that she was born with. Whereas Yun's golden ones sometimes seemed to take on a jagged tiger’s stripe, as if his were his scales, hers were swirls and stars.
“Galaxies.” She whispered aloud. Yue then remembered what Jasper said once, about finding the beauty within something that has been broken. Her markings shined underneath the paint that stubbornly remained despite her attempt to scrub it off. Her torn clothes allowed her more movement to defend her family.
To protect herself.
A dark aura appeared behind her, taking on the form of her brother once again, causing her to turn only for him to appear in the crowd. She went to give chase but hesitated for a moment upon the light of the lanterns at the end of the alleyway. Everything around her was silenced outside of hearing her own heartbeat and the shuddering breaths she was taking in. She promised herself to give her big brother time, to let him heal.
A promise that she will honor.
Soft, tiny little clawed hands wrapped around her left hand, which made her look down to see a little demon boy; lost and scared. “Hey.” She cooed and carefully knelt to his level. “Where are your parents?” She asked softly and noticed that he was dressed more like a doll. That’s not right, she felt and gently with a torn sleeve helped him wipe away some of the heavy eyeliner. Her ice brought him relief, and he looked up at her with the brightest amber hued gem like eyes. “Better?”
He nodded at her.
“Good. Now how did you know that I was someone safe?” She asked when he pointed at her forehead. She was confused before she felt her crescent moon and laughed at herself for even forgetting about it. “Oh?”
“Only Mother Moon has that pretty marking. And pretty stars.” He then pointed to her markings on her exposed arms and tail, making her chuckle. “No one can mimic your heart.” He added, causing her to be wary only to smile at him. “And you friend to demons…right?” He asked when Yue gently booped his nose making his squeal and then he too laughed.
“When you need me, I’ll always be there.” Yue replied, her voice soft and honeyed before she looked back at the crowds. Another mirror, though broken, reflected her image and the child gasped in awe.
In his eyes, he sees the dragoness in his stories. A goddess of Light, who doesn’t judge someone by looks. She could have killed him and yet here she was, being kind to him. Helping him.
Her long dark pink hair with the silver star dust kissing her indigo hued antlers, pinned with few ornate pins, the same paint he had been forced to wear, now cracking to reveal her true beauty. And the robes she wore, while torn still held-no. It was her, he realized. Xi-Yue, Mother Moon, really was a queen in all her glory. “Wow.” He whispered.
“Come on, let’s find your family.” She offered her hand and he took it, walking with her into the lantern filled streets.

Flame & Wind
In a land far far away lies the Kingdom of Fiore. A small peaceful nation of 17 million and a place filled with magic, found in every home, bought and sold in every marketplace. For most magic is merely a tool a mundane part of everyday life. For some however magic is an art, and they've devoted their lives to its practice, these are the wizards. Banded together in magical guilds they plant their skills in search of fame and fortune. Many such guilds dot the landscape of Fiore, but there is a certain guild in a certain town that soars high above the rest. One from which countless ledges have been born. A guild that will no doubt continue to create legends well into the future. Its name is Fairy Tail.
The Oshibana Train Station
Erza and Vela headed back inside the train station to tie up the remaining members to keep them from escaping. They've also started to interrogate each of them in hopes of one of them revealing Erigor's true plan or for a way on how they can escape the magical barrier. Erza is holding up a man, separated from the rest, by his collar while Vela is holding up her fist lit with her magic, so he doesn't try anything. "Just forget about it ladies. I already told ya there's no undoing Erigor's barrier. You and your buddies are stuck."
"Erza, Vela!" Gray calls out from the upper level, causing both girls to drop the man they were questioning and focus on Gray instead.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were with Natsu!" Erza demanded.
"We decided to split up."
"What?! Why would you think that was a good idea?!" Vela asks worried at the thought of her little brother possible facing Erigor and whatever other goons are still lurking around by himself. She knows he can take care of himself, but things have changed.
"Never mind that now. Listen I just found out Eisenwald's real target is Clover, the next town up."
"What?" the female wizards say.
"Erigor's heading towards the conference as we speak. He's planning to use the Lullaby to kill the guild masters."
A monstrous aura surrounds Erza as she picks the dark wizard she was questioning back up, "Why didn't you tell me?!" He starts to shake in absolute terror. She lets him go, however, and starts to explain their current dilemma to Gray who most likely hasn't seen outside yet. "There's a problem, the station is surrounded by a wind barrier."
"Yeah, I know. I saw it earlier." Gray is now on the ground level with Erza and Vela. "If you try to break through that thing, it'll make mincemeat outta ya."
"I've already tried that," Erza says while nodding to her scuffed up arm.
"And I tried throwing some of my star feathers at them, but that just ended up exploding in my face." She then gestures to the bump that has slightly gone down. "Literally."
"Whoa is your arm ok?"
"That's not important. What is is getting out of here."
Gray then walks over to Vela to closely inspect her forehead by placing his hand on top of her head and getting closer to her face for a better view of the injury. He has to bend down to do so as she's a couple inches shorter than him. "How about you? That looks like it might leave a mark."
"Don't worry about me I'll live." Vela then takes Gray's hand off of her head and pushes him back by the chest. "Like Erza said there's more important things we have to deal with right now. We have to stop Erigor before he reaches the guild masters' conference."
Erza then turns to the two with a revelation. "Wait a minute, I remember them talking about someone named Kage back at the pub. We have to find that man. He was the one that broke Lullaby's seal."
"A dispeller huh?" Gray then comes to the same conclusion. "A seal breaking wizard. He can take down the wind barrier."
"That's what I'm hoping now let's start searching," Erza declares but Vela thinks she might know where he's at.
"Hang on, I think Kage's the one that was glaring at Natsu when we first came in. He's probably the one that got his ass kicked on the train. My guess is that wherever Natsu is that's where Kage will be."
"Good thinking, but there's a small problem," Gray starts, "We have no idea where that fire breathing idiot is. He could be anywhere at this point."
"Hello," Vela then points towards her nose brimming with confidence "Are you forgetting that my nose is practically better than Happy's? With my sense of smell, we'll find him in no time."
Just as the three leave the man that Erza had yelled at begins talking to what appears to be no one. "Karacka, how long are you gonna hide back there?"
A magic sela then appears on the wall, with the man Lucy is meant to be looking for appearing through it. "I'm sorry but I was scared."
The other man can only scoff. "Find Kage before they do. Go now."
Karacka begins to sweat. "No please don't make me you know I'm no good in a fight Byard."
"Calm down," Byrad eyes narrow, "It's a simple job. Even you can handle this."
Flame & Wind
"Ugh this is useless. I can't find him anywhere."
"Aye," Happy agrees as he and Lucy continue to walk down an empty hall.
"What do you say we just head back to where Erza and Vela are?"
Happy screams in terror in answer, he even stopped flying.
"Woah what's with the crazy reaction?"
The cat trembling now explains why giving up is just not an option. At least not when it comes to Erza. "Erza gave you an order to go after the fat man, so you have to do what she says Lucy! Ignoring an order from Erza is never a good idea, she's gonna be super angry with you. And if I have to watch her punish you it's gonna scar me for life!"
Happy's talk has not got Lucy shaking as well, "What kinda punishment are we talking about here?!" But she momentarily stops freaking out as she remembers the other person who was there when that order was given. "But what about Vela? I'm sure she'll understand and since she doesn't seem to be all that scared of Erza, I bet she can talk her down from punishing me."
However, this bubble of hope is quickly burst. "Yeah, I wouldn't count on that. Vela may seem pretty chill at first, but once she's on a job she's all Ms. No Nonsense." Happy turn around and starts thinking of all the times he and Natsu had gotten in her way, accidental or not. "I still have nightmares about when me and Natsu used to work with her. I can never look at leather the same ever again." Happy now has tears streaming down his face.
Lucy realizing there is no option but to continue starts to move even quicker than before. "Hey, I was just kidding! I would never give up on a mission like that!"
"The thought of an Erza and Vela smackdown scare some sense into ya?"
"Shut up stupid cat! Whay are you even following me?!"
All of sudden explosions can be heard from the right side of the station with some new renovations being added to the ceiling. It seems that Natsu has lost his patience and is trying to goad Erigor out from wherever he's hiding. With large flames swirling from his hands Natsu shouts out, "Erigor! Come out come out wherever you are!" And he starts blasting holes throughout each new room he enters.
"You in here?!" But what Natsu had overlooked was the foreboding shadow that had been watching his every move.
Kage then descends from the shadow attached to the ceiling. Jeez hasn't he ever heard of using a door. He starts to get closer and closer as Natsu begins to slow down. Now that Erigor made it out to safety this kid doesn't pose much of a threat. His shadow starts slowly creeping up behind the dragon slayer. I could just let him go. But what would be the fun in that. Kage then moves to knock Natsu through a stack of barrels. "There, I've wanted to do that for a while now. Had enough Fairy Tail insect?"
Natsu struggles to back on his feet. He manages eventually, but not without getting his head stuck through a painting. He screams outraged, "Not you again!"
Kage laughs at the buffoon standing before him. "Wow, you look like an idiot."
"Aw shut it doggy!"
Natsu's mispronunciation of his name really sets off the shadow user. "Get it right, it's Kage!" He even starts to stomp his feet like a toddler. "The name is Kage!"
"Same thing really."
"Anyways, I think I've got you all figured out this time. You eat flames to increase your power. Isn't that your big trick? Shouldn't be hard to stamp out."
Natsu, enraged at the disrespect towards his magic, throws the painting off of him as his head begins to catch fire. "Now I really wanna teach you a lesson, but I don't have the time!" He holds his fist out as a threat. "Tell me where Erigor is!"
"You think I'm just gonna tell you that. If you really wanna know then you're gonna have to beat it out of me." Kage then summons his shadows once more and sends them all flying at Natsu in the form of multiple fists. "Knuckle Shadow!"
The attack was blocked by Natsu and as a result leaves him relatively unaffected. "So I get to knock you around and I get the info I want? That killing two birds with one stone. I'm getting all fired up."
The blows from their fight start to affect the whole building. "Why is the building shaking like that?", Lucy wonders with a tremor in her voice as she has no idea whether the shockwaves are from Erigor or her destructive teammates.
"What's with the shaking?" Gray says out loud as he stops running.
"I'm pretty sure it's Natsu, I can smell his flames from here." Vela says while starting to run faster. "Come on he's close." Gray and Erza quickly follow after her.
Meanwhile Kage is using everything he has just to land a single hit on said fire user, but he's just too quick for him as each one is a miss. Alright Fairy. "Snake Shadow!" Kage realizing he's going to have to go all in in order to defeat this fly summons a large nest of snakes all with their fangs bared. "You can't run this time! They'll tear you to pieces!"
"I got this." But Natsu doesn't seem too worried. "Fire Dragon Wing Attack!" He brings both his arms up and swings then back down towards the charging snakes, sending a barrage of fire their way causing them to be destroyed.
Kage can only stare in disbelief at the sheer magic power this one wizard can have. "Impossible! He was able to defeat them with one shot!" In Kage's eyes Natsu is a monster with glowing red eyes ready looking for his next victim. "So much power. I didn't think wizards like this existed."
Natsu summons a fireball and still pumping with adrenaline rearing to go another round. "Are you ready to talk? If not, I've got a fireball with your name on it."
"No! You're a monster!" The biggest explosion yet can be heard throughout the entire building.
"Was that him!?" Gray asks alerted by the gigantic boom that just resonated throughout the walls.
"Yes," Erza responds.
"Yeah, he's just through there," Vela says as she leads them to the next room.
"Was that Natsu?" Lucy asks to Happy as they're on the opposite end from where everyone else is.
"Aw man, look what you made me do. I was trying not to mess up the whole place this time. My sister's here somewhere and I know she definitely heard that blast. Now I'm gonna be in for an earful from her and it's all your fault." Natsu starts to walk towards Kage who is now leaning against a wall covered with a large scorch mark with himself being in a similar state. "Anyways I feel better. Sorry I had to take you down diorama."
"I told you it's Kageyama," the man says in a raspy weakened voice.
"Whatever, tell me where Erigor is or your gonna get toasted."
Kage lets out a humorless laugh. "He's long-gone you idiot. He's not even in this station anymore."
"What?!" But he's interrupted from questioning further by a familiar voice.
"Natsu!" Erza calls out with Gray and Vela running on either side of her. "Do not harm him! We need him alive."
"What have I told you about keeping damage to a minimum?!" Vela scolds.
"Way to go you fire freak," Gray jeers.
Natsu's confused at this because wasn't Kage the bad guy? "Huh?" But his confusion is halted as he sees Erza run up to him with her sword drawn and Vela with her fists glowing with light. He quickly starts to beg for forgiveness for whatever it is that's he done as he values his life. "I don't know what I did wrong, but I'm sorry! AHH!"
He and Kage both let out screams as the shadow user was the one they were truly aiming for. Erza's sword had landed in the space right beside his head while one of Vela's fists had landed on the opposite side. "You will dispel with wind barrier, and you will do so without complaint", Erza demands.
"And if you try anymore funny business then you can say goodbye to your eyesight." Vela then starts to move her glowing hand up towards Kage face to get the message across. He only whimpers in surrender.
Natsu lets out a moan of relief but is still shaken up by his life almost flashing before his eyes. "Just do it man, these chicks are real monsters!"
"Shut up Natsu!" Gray is getting more and more annoyed with the fire breathing lizard.
"Understood?" Erza and Vela ask.
Kage concedes "Fine I'll dispel it." But before he can he lets out a groan of pain as everyone else lets out gasps of shock. A hand had come through the wall and is now sticking out of Kage's abdomen. Kage only knows one person capable of that type of magic. "Why, Karacka?"
The man in question begins to tremble as he remembers what he was told to do by the other members of the guild. It's a simple job. Even you can handle this. You have to kill Kageyama. Although he had successfully completed his task, he only feels great shame at what he had done to his guildmate.
"Kage!" Erza calls out as Vela catches him before he can hit the ground.
"No! He was our only way outta here!" Gray says distressed. But Natsu can't focus on their escape right now. The only thing on his mind is how a fellow guildmember, a comrade, could do that to one of their own.
Vels is now holding Kage's head on her lap while Erza tries to stop the wound from bleeding. She's also trying to keep the man conscious "Kage don't you dare die on us! We need your help! Do you hear me?!"
"I think we're losing him Erza." Gray also starts to check his vital points.
"Don't crowd him too much, you might make the injury worse than it already is," Vela commands as she gestures Gray to back up a little.
"You're the only one of us able to dispel the wind barrier. Just hand on!" Kage can only groan in pain at the redheads yelling.
Natsu's fists clench as he begins to tremble with rage. "How could you do that to one of your friends?!" Flames engulf his whole body. "He's a member of your guild! He trusted you and you tried to kill him!" Karacka sensing his impending doom disappears back into the wall, but this doesn't stop Natsu.
"I'll cook you!" he screams as he charges to where Karacka had sunken in to. He manages to get a direct hit by blasting the wall apart. "Is that how you dark guild wizards treat each other?!"
Kage is now fully unconscious and only seems to be getting worse. But despite this Erza continues to plead to him "Please Kage, just stay with us."
Gray has now moved up beside Vela on the other side of Kage's head and tries to tell Erza all her pleas are falling on deaf ears. "He's unconscious. It's just no use."
"Hey, what are do-," Vela starts asking as the redhead moves over her but is interrupted mid question.
Erza not knowing the meaning of giving up, takes Kage from Vela's lap and begins vigorously throttling him back and forth. As if that would cause him to be miraculously healed. "We can't let him die he's our only way out of here."
The two wizards can only sweat drop at the absurdity of it all. "But there's no way he can use his magic in his condition," Gray tries to reason.
"If I force him to he will!"
Vela then jumps onto Erza's back and locks her arms around her neck in a chokehold in an attempt to stop her from making the man's injuries worsen. "Not even you have the power to do that! Just let go of the poor guy already!"
"Get off Vela! Give me a moment I'm sure it will work!" Erza starts to swat at the top of the other girl's head while still shaking Kage.
"At this point all you're going to accomplish is giving Vela a concussion!" Gray states as he tries to pry Vela off of Erza's back while also trying to keep the swordswoman from hitting him as well.
It was at this moment that Lucy and Happy had rejoined the group and it is not at all what they were expecting. Natsu's breathing heavily and glaring at a giant hole in the wall, Erza is shaking an unconscious Kage back and forth while Vela is trying to seemingly choke her, and Gray, having given up in interfering, is just staring at the two girls as they cat fight. "Umm, bad timing huh?" Lucy says as Erza and Vela continue to screech.
"Aye," Happy shakily agrees.
This is Clover Canyon. A canyon so deep many believe its treacherous walls actually rise up from the abyss. The only way across is this single train line.
Erigor can be seen standing on the train line so close to his final destination. "I'm so close to Clover and the guild masters I can taste it. And what's more the magic energy I used creating that wind barrier is almost fully recharged." He lets out a slight chuckle as he looks to the sky. "Now it's time." Erigor starts to fly above the track. "You fools not only took away our work but you also robbed us of our rights. Now I'm going to make you pay." He then shoots forward at blinding speed. "The Reaper's cleaning is nigh."
Back at the Onibas Station Team Natsu along with Kage are all gathered outside trying to figure out how to get through the barrier. Vela is also catching up Lucy, Natsu, and Happy on what Ergiror's true plans are. "What Erigor wants to use Lullaby on the guild masters?!", Lucy exclaims.
"We have to stop him!" Natsu shouts.
"That's easier said than done." Erza then gestures towards the barrier that's keeping them from following him by train. "Erigor has cut off our only means of reaching Clover and is headed there by air."
"I'm pretty sure we could catch up to him on the magic mobile," Gray suggests. "But we can't do anything until we figure out how to get on the other side of this barrier."
"How are we gonna do that?" and upon hearing Lucy's question Natsu begins to charge forward in hopes of using brute force to take down the barrier.
"Wait Natsu don't-", but before Vela can finish warning her little brother, Natsu is being shot back from being overpowered by the wind. "Would you just stop and listen to me Natsu? I already tried that it's no use. The barrier's too strong to be overpowered by brute force alone."
Lucy looks at the poor guy as he had been charred by his own flames while Gray can hardly believe he has to be on the same team as that moron. "See that's what happens if you try to bust through. That's why you should listen to your sister more fire clown."
Erza tries once more to wake the seriously injured man. "Kage, wake up! You're our only hope right now."
Natsu, the stubborn flame brain that he is, gets back up once more and keeps on charging at the barrier. "I've gotta try to break through!"
Punch "We have"
Punch "to save"
Kick "Makarov!"
He only ends up back where he was when he first started hitting it. "Natsu!" Lucy cries out while Vela goes to check on him.
"Cut it out you idiot. Just like Vela already said, brute force isn't going to do you any good," Gray reminds him.
Lucy turns to look at the ice wizard in desperation. "Isn't there anything you can do? If you'd try freezing it, maybe Natsu and Vela can melt it."
"If I could I would've done that already. And Vela has enough injuries from that stupid thing as of now."
"What? You're hurt Vela?" Lucy turns to the girl to see for herself.
"It's only a bump. I was being stupid earlier, I'm fine. Gray just likes to worry," as Vela quells Lucy's concerns Gray tchs in response. Meanwhile Natsu is getting ready to for another charge, but Vela is quick to notice. "Natsu knock it off already before you get seriously hurt!" He goes for it anyways and seems to be making little to no progress while shouting out in pain as the wind starts to cut him.
"Natsu!" Gray yells in exasperation.
"Would you stop trying to be the hero?! You're gonna get torn to shreds!" Lucy exclaims.
"They're right! For once would you just listen to us little brother?!"
"Damn it! I don't know what to do!" Erza says feeling frustrated at herself for not having any solutions.
As Natsu gets blown back once more Lucy is quick to catch him and tries to keep him from trying again. "I said stop it!"
Natsu lets himself be held as he's also starting to believe it's pointless. "Crap," he mutters. He then turns around to look at Lucy in thought.
"What? What's the matter?" the celestial wizard is worried that he might be hurt from all that thrashing about.
Instead, he jumps out of her arms with a loud gasp of realization. He then starts to smile as he gets closer to Lucy's face. "We could use your spirits!" She can only look at him in confusion as none of the spirits she currently has are made to deal with their situation. But Natsu continues, "Back at Everlue's I was pulled from one place to another through the spirit world!"
"You did what?!" Vela exclaims as she grips onto his shoulders and begins to check him over. "How come you haven't told me that?! Do you know how dangerous that is for someone like you?! Normal people aren't supposed to go through into the Celestial World it's almost impossible to breathe, they'll die!"
"Vela's right and besides a celestial wizard can only open a gate wherever they're standing."
"Huh?" Natsu does not seem to get it, like much else.
Lucy seeing this begins to dumb it down for him. "Ok, let me simplify this for you. Even if we could pass through the spirit world, we would need another celestial wizard to open the gate outside the train station for us to pass through."
"You're totally confusing me just hurry up and do it. Besides she can help you." He then turns to point at Vela. "She's a celestial wizard too, so problem solved."
"I'm a celestial dragon slayer Natsu, I can't summon any of the spirits I can only force them to go back to the Spirit World."
"What? You can do that?" Lucy says intrigued.
"Yeah, I can. It's because my magic has the same essence of Celestial Spirits, so I can siphon their own magic energy to recharge my own. With silver key spirits they get sent back almost instantly, but gold keys take a little bit more time. And besides" Vela then starts to shake Natsu back and forth "I'm on the same side of the station you idiot, so even if I could summon them, it'd be pointless! Would you please use your head for once?!"
"See Natsu, I told you I can't! Not to mention the very act of a human entering the Spirit World is a serious breach of contract." Lucy says to him as he's being held in a chokehold by his sister. "I didn't care when you did it because it wasn't my key it was Everlue's."
"I don't get your guys' magic at all," he complains while rubbing his now sore neck. Vela only glares at him as she has tried several times in the past to get him to be able to understand the depths of celestial magic.
However, this conversation finally reminds Happy what he was meant to tell Lucy earlier. "Everlue's key...hold on." Happy also jumps up in remembrance just like Natsu had and runs over to Lucy. "I just remembered Lucy!"
Lucy a little freaked out turns in on herself. "Remembered what?"
"What I was trying to tell you on the way here!" The cat's shout sends Lucy reeling back.
"On the way here? Oh yeah, you mean when you kept calling me weird?" she says sarcastically.
Happy then holds up the gold key of Virgo. "Look!"
Vela gasps in shock and Lucy does the same while demanding to know, "How'd you get your paws on Virgos' key?!" She then starts to squish the cat's lips together while the boys stare at the odd scene and Vela inspects the key further. "Didn't Vela at least teach you that it's wrong to steal things?!"
Vela pipes in with a, "I sure did!" and starts to scold the cat like she's his mother. "You better explain yourself right now Happy or you can say goodbye to all that fish I brought back for you."
Happy desperate to clear his name and save his precious fishies, "But I didn't steal it, Virgo asked me to give it to you!" This causes Lucy to let go of his lips causing him to fall back into Vela's legs.
Gray getting fed up with everything, "Come on guys. We're wasting way too much of our time listening to this nonsense."
Natsu is still confused. "Who's Virgo?" But then he remembers that ape of maid he saw at Everlue's mansion. "Oh, wasn't she that big gorilla looking maid?"
"Apparently her contract with Everlue was broken as soon as he was arrested," Happy says while waving the key towards Lucy. "Before we all left that day, she said that she wanted to sign a new contract with you, Lucy."
Lucy doesn't seem all that pleased with this news. "Great, I get a big ugly spirit. Anyways thanks for letting me know, but I'll have to deal with her later. If you didn't realize it, right now we need to find a way out of here."
The cat then gets a little dejected. "But-"
Before he can finish his sentence, Lucy is squeezing his cheeks apart having enough of his sidetracking. "Shut up!" A monstrous aura quite similar to the one Erza had earlier appears. "Why can't you just meow like any other cat?!"
Gray seeing the resemblance, "She can be pretty scary huh?"
Natsu already used to it says, "Must have learned it from Erza. Or maybe Vela."
"Lucy, stop doing that. He's only trying to help," Vela says as she picks him up and nuzzles him into her chest.
Happy begins to cry, "I'm sorry. I thought that since Virgo controls holes, maybe she could dig through the ground and get us to the other side of the barrier." He then looks up at Vela with the saddest eyes. "Do I at least still get my fishies for trying to be helpful?"
"She can?!" Erza asks after overhearing their conversation.
"Seriously?!"
"Uhhh..."
"You're right! She can!" How could Lucy forget something like that.
"Aww! Of course you do sweetie!" Vela starts to stroke his head and soothe him. She then turns to give a stern look directed at Lucy. "I think you owe him an apology missy."
Lucy goes to pluck Happy from Vela's arms, with him still holding the key, and begins to praise him. "You're so smart Happy! Why didn't you mention that sooner silly kitty?"
But Happy gets out of her tight grip and flies right back into Vela's arms. "Because someone was pinching my face. And Vela's right I am owed an apology."
Lucy then gets down on her hands and knees and begins bowing. "My most sincere, humble, heartfelt apologies. I promise I'll make it up to you." She then starts begging while swaying from side to side still on her knees as Happy looks down at her from Vela's hold while holding the key up. "Just please let me have the key."
"Give me some fish and all is forgiven."
Erza knowing they've wasted enough time nods to Lucy to summon the spirit.
Lucy holds out the key and chants, "I call upon thee, in the world of the celestial spirits, and now I beckon you to my side at once." A magical circle appears below her. "Pass through the gate. Open Gate of the Maiden, Virgo!"
Tunneling from underneath the ground pops out a beautiful slim young woman with pink hair, dressed in a maid's uniform, and wearing shackles around her wrists. While in a bow she says, "You summoned mistress? What can I do for you?"
Lucy is astonished as this is not the Virgo she remembers. "Who are you?"
"What do you mean Lucy? That's Virgo," Vela answers.
Even Natsu knows this as he had gone up to greet the spirit. "What's up, Burger? Man, you look great, you've lost some weight."
The spirit not at all offended responds, "My name's Virgo. I apologize for any trouble I might have caused you."
"She didn't just lose weight Natsu!" Lucy cries out as she was expecting the gorilla from before to appear.
"What do you mean?" Gray asks as he had never seen Virgo's previous form.
"She's like a totally different person!"
"I'm a very loyal spirit who'll do anything to please her wizard. So, I try to take on whatever form my wizard will find most appealing."
"I don't know." Natsu starts to comment, "I kinda liked it when you were all big and tough looking."
"Did you really? Well then," Upon hearing this Virgo reverts back to the way she was before when she was under contract with Everlue. "I can change back if you like." Shocking Lucy but most of all Gray and Vela as it's their first time seeing this form. Vela even ends up hiding behind Gray in her shock still holding onto Happy while peeking over Gray's shoulder.
Lucy not at all pleased by having her spirit take commands from someone other than her yells out, "Don't listen to him! I'm your wizard and I like the other form better!"
Virgo then changes back into her petite form. "As you wish mistress."
Vela then comes out from behind Gray and goes over and slams her fist right to the top of Natsu's head. "Oww! What was that for sis?"
"She's not your spirit, she's Lucy's, don't go giving her commands like that unless you ask Lucy first. Got it?" Instead of answering Natsu only grumbles. Displeased by this Vela raises up her fist once more and repeats "I said, GOT IT?!"
"YEP, I GOT IT!"
Lucy starts to explain the situation to Virgo as they're really pressed for time after that whole ordeal. "I'm afraid we don't have much time. Can we work out the contract details later?"
"Of course, whatever'd you'd like mistress."
"Do you really have to call me mistress?" Virgo's eyes had been zeroed in on the whip around the celestial wizard's waist since she first appeared, hence the current title.
But Virgo, ever the one to please, suggests different names that Lucy might find more appealing. "Would you prefer if I called you Queen?"
"No," she says in distaste. It's not awful but it doesn't really feel like her.
"What about Princess?" Now that she can work with.
"Oh yeah, that's more like it." Even though the matter is urgent the rest still can't believe that Lucy's having this discussion now of all times.
"Princess? Yeah, right," Gray mumbles to Vela sarcastically.
"Just let her have her fun for now, she's been through a lot today," the purple haired mage whispers back.
"Hurry it up ladies," Natsu butts in as he's also getting sick of being stuck.
"Yes, sir." Virgo then bows as a large hole appears underneath where she was just standing. Noises that sound like drilling can be heard getting farther and farther away from the barrier.
"Oh, wow look at her go." Gray looks down the newly created tunnel impressed.
"She sure is efficient," Vela says as she leans over the edge to get a better look.
"Nicely done Lucy." Erza then pulls Lucy's head towards her chest in a one-armed hug, but she may have also given Lucy a minor head injury due to her armor.
"Alright guys, it's time to bust out of this joint." Behind Gray he and the others can hear some jostling and grunting. Natsu had went back to grab Kage and now has him slung over his back. "What do you think you're doing?"
"I know he's one of our enemies, but I'd feel guilty if we just left him here to die." Vela and Erza look at Natsu in admiration and pride. My little brother sure has grown. Vela smiles to herself. Kage, at this moment, had also regained slight consciousness just in time to hear what Natsu had said.
"And here's what happened next"
The Fairy Tail wizards have made it outside the barrier, with all their clothes and hair are being blown by the intense winds.
"Looks like we made it out!" Gray has to raise his voice due to the sheer volume the barrier is still causing.
"Let's head toward Clover!" Erza seems to be relatively indifferent towards the gusts other then her hair being blown this way and that.
Lucy isn't faring as well. "Whoa! This wind is crazy!" She's trying to keep her short skirt from blowing up and accidentally giving the others a peep show.
Virgo sensing her Princess' distress steps in to help. "Princess, I'll keep your panties from showing!" She goes to knell behind Lucy and uses both hands to keep her skirt from flying up. However, she seems to forget about her own.
"You just worry about your own!" Lucy pleas as Virgo's dress begins to fly up.
But before Virgo can accidentally flash Gray, who's standing behind directly behind her, Vela steps in. "Don't worry Lucy I've got her covered." She then uses the same technique that Virgo is to keep the spirit's skirt down. Vela's not really worried about her own as she's wearing a bodysuit underneath her dress, and the slits were already pretty wide to begin with, so it's not like she's showing off something that you can't already see.
However, this doesn't stop Gray from getting stunned by the sight in front of him. "Oh, wow," he mutters with his eyes wide open and face completely flushed. Vela's dress had flown so far up that the bottom half of her bodysuit was completely revealed to him. While it's not as revealing if it were panties instead, but he still felt pretty flustered as he can see part of her rear on full display, and he's gotta say it's pretty nice.
His train of thought gets interrupted by a sudden smack to the face. "Quit looking at my sister all weird, you perverted flasher!" For once Gray doesn't fight back as he feels he kind of deserved it this time.
Kage having been placed on the ground by Natsu, so he could get his hit in knows that even though they've managed to make it out, they're still too late. "It's no use, you'll never be able to catch up to Erigor. You can't stop us, we've won." The four of them can only look at him grimly, until Vela notices something off.
"Hey, where did Natsu go?!"
Gray notices another someone missing as well. "Happy's not here either!"
In Clover Canyon, Erigor is getting closer and closer to the conference building. "I can see the town up ahead. A bit farther and I'll have revenge." But there's a certain annoying buzzing that's interrupting his thoughts.
It's Natsu hanging onto a flying Happy, and he's using flames coming from the bottom of his feet to catch up to Erigor. "We've got you know. Didn't know cats could fly at Mach speed, did ya?!" He then lets go of Happy and kicks down Erigor causing all him to fall towards the train tracks. Subsequently, Natsu had also managed to accidentally hit Happy during the blast as he starts falling as well. Luckily Natsu catches him before he can make impact. "You, ok?"
"Yeah, but I'm so tired I can't fly." Catching up to Erigor and getting scraped by Natsu's fire had sapped up the last of the cat's energy.
"Don't worry, buddy. I think I can handle it from here."
"You again?' The sound of Erigor's grating voice reminds Natsu to focus on the enemy as his best friend will be fine. "You're one of those pesky Fairy Tail flies. What are you doing here?"
Natsu gets ready to finally take down this guy and show him that Fairy Tail is not to be messed with. "I'm not letting you get passed me, you dress wearing windbag!"
On the other end of the tracks the rest of the team had all piled into the magic mobile, Kage included, with Erza at the driver's seat once more. Gray and Kage are sitting on one seat each keeping a large amount of distance between themselves while Lucy and Vela are seated across the latter using the other as her personal crutch because her stomach truly has it out for her.
Kage breaks the silence, "Tell me, why are taking me with you?"
Lucy with pure certainty in her voice, "Because you obviously need a doctor." She then glances down at her poor motion sick friend who's trying her best to pay attention. And quite frankly so does she. "And since everyone left town, you'll have to see one in Clover. Try and show some gratitude," she finishes haughtily. However, she missed the true meaning behind his question.
"I don't understand. Why are you helping me? We're enemies." This causes Lucy to pause, but Kage keeps mumbling off possible reasons to himself. "Oh, wait I get it, you're taking me hostage to try and make a deal with Erigor. Well, you can forget it, he could care less about me or any of his men."
"Jeez lighten up dude," Lucy sweat drops.
"If you wanna die we can make that happen," Gray suggests, but then his hit in the forehead by a tiny spark. He then turns to glare at the person responsible but she's back to focusing all her energy on not ruining Lucy's cute outfit.
"Chill Gray," Lucy says a little freaked out by the jump to the extreme.
But Gray isn't done, "There's a whole lot more than just life and death you know." This captures Kage's attention as he had never thought about that before. "You should try to look for the positive. You and your Eisenwald pals."
Before anyone can respond the vehicle hits a sudden pothole causing everyone to scream and be jostled about. They're practically lifted almost entirely from their seats. Vela almost loses herself but manages to stop the contents of her stomach from flying just in time. Lucy's butt manages to hit Kage squarely in the face before she drops back down into place.
"What happened?" Gray calls out to Erza.
"It's ok, everything's fine now."
Vela is now somehow strewn across both his and Gray's laps with her facing towards Kage's side. She was really tempted to just let everything go onto his pants for payback for what he did to Natsu, but before she can fully commit Gray had pulled her back entirely into his lap. They are now sitting where she originally was with Lucy, with him dusting her off as if Kage had cooties.
Lucy, kneeling in front of Kage, is attempting to apologize for possibly giving Kage new injuries. "I'm so sorry."
Her earnest apology doesn't seem to do it as Kage snaps back with, "Could your butt be any bigger?" As he holds onto his now bruised face.
Lucy starts screaming outraged, "Sexual harassment!" she turns towards Gray who is covering Vela's ears, "Kill him Gray he said I have a big butt! You're not seriously going to let him get away with that are ya?!"
"Geez, so much for having a serious moment." He pushes his hands even harder against Vela's ears as her face starts to contort in discomfort at having to deal with Lucy's wails in her sensitive ears on top of her queasy stomach. "And will you keep it down? You're yelling is just going to make Vela worse."
In front, Erza is beginning to look worse for wear as the use of so much magical energy is starting to affect her. She's started to sweat and there are now obvious bags under her eyes. My vision is getting blurry. I must have used more magic energy than I thought. Natsu, you have to stop Erigor. Erza tries to push on and will the more magic into the vehicle to drive even faster, but at this point their only hope is Natsu. It's all up to you now. Don't let me down.
Natsu is staring down Erigor not a hint of fear in his voice, "I'm gonna burn you and that stupid flute of yours to a crisp!"
Erigor is not the least bit intimidated. "So you were able to break through my wind barrier. You little flies can be such a nuisance. Now get out of my way kid." He goes to move his scythe in an offensive position. "Or else." A large blast of wind is sent towards Natsu, extinguishing his flames and almost knocking him back.
"Is that," Natsu lets out a groan as he's using all his might to stay upright "all you got?!" He leaps high into the air with all his limbs alight with flames. His sights are then set on where Erigor's standing and proceeds into a nosedive. Erigor doges just in time, so the only thing Natsu did was leave a giant crater in the tacks.
But he quickly recovers and goes to strike again. Erigor uses his scythe to block the incoming fist, but the pure power emitting from it is frightening. Impossible! He uses his flames to jump and to strike. Erigor floats up into the sky. I underestimated his power. This might actually be a challenge.
"Come on! What are you doing up there, you coward?!" The fire dragon slayer starts hopping in place throwing a mini tantrum. "Come down here and fight me like a man!"
"Don't get too cocky, fly!" Erigor looks to be summoning another burst of wind, but it's much more than that this time. "Storm Bringer!" What he summons is an entire tornado with Natsu stuck in the middle.
Happy can hear Natsu screaming in disorientation inside of it as he's being spun about at supersonic speed. "Natsu!" Desperate to save his friend, Happy tries to see if he has just enough magic energy to fly, but all he can managed is having his wings flicker out for a quick second before disappearing altogether. "It's no use, I don't have enough magiv energy."
"AHHH!" Natsu screams as he's thrown completely off the side of the bridge.
Erigor looks down at him in victory. "Hahaha, let's see your fire power get you out of this."
"Natsu!", Happy calls out as Natsu begins to get smaller and smaller.
Heading towards the ground headfirst Natsu seems to be completely calm if not a little caught off guard. As he head dives further and further to the bottom, he crosses his arms and legs and begins to think. "Man, this sucks. I wasn't expecting that at all. What am I gonna do now?" He then topples from one rocky cliff to the next with three larges bumps on his head. His vision starts to tunnel in. As he reaches out a hand in hopes of grabbing on to something all he can say is "Sorry, Gramps..."
Flashes of the past start to appear in his mind particularly when he first started getting training to better his fire magic.
"Come on, Natsu, you can do better than that", Macao encourages while producing a large blue flame from his fist. "Now watch how I do it." The blue flame then picks up a mug of beer all without spilling a drop. "See?"
Natsu, a couple years younger, is watching, impressed, wishing his flames could do that as well. "Oh, that's awesome!"
"Yeah, it's called Purple Flare, and even though it's fire it can do a lot more than just burn things."
"How come my fire burns everything it touches?"
Macao only looks down at him with a fatherly smile. "Cause you don't know how to make it not burn. You gotta learn that if you wish for it deep down in your heart the fire will do exactly what you want it to." Natsu continues to stare open mouthed. "Once you've mastered that, then not even wind or water magic can beat you."
The boy only grows more confused. "That doesn't make any sense."
All of sudden from the depths of the canyon a large burst of fire emerges. Erigor jumps back in complete horror as he believed his final obstacle to be dead. The flames then turn into a giant dragon claw that grips onto the train tracks with Natsu being pulled from beneath.
"Natsu!", Happy cheers with tears in his eyes at the sight of his best friend unharmed.
He's then pulled safely back onto the tracks. "That was a close one." Natsu then looks down at his hands. "So that's what you were trying to tell me. I think I get it now."
Erigor's face shadows over at what the boy had said "But that's impossible."
"You must be cold up there half naked like that", although he's one to talk as all he's wearing is an open vest. "Want me to warm you up?!"
"Your flames are powerless against me!"
"Oh, yeah", Natsu gets ready for what he is sure is one of his most powerful attacks yet. "Let's see about that." He readies himself by gulping in a big breath of air and puffing out his cheeks and finally lets it all out. "Fire Dragon Roar!"
Flames upon flames are directed all at Erigor. He tries to stop it "Storm Wall!" But it's all in vain as he's still left with some scratches. I can't believe this kid. There's no rhyme or reason to his attacks. When the dust clears Natsu can be seen grinning. Is this what all Fairy Tail wizards are like?! Erigor is still floating up in the sky. "Although your powers are remarkable, I'm afraid your still no match for me", he still sounds so sure of himself. "Enough of this cat and mouse chase! It's time to get serious."
This only has Natsu grow more invigorated. "I'm ready when you are!"
"Storm Mail!" Another tornado of wind, bigger than all the rest, spirals around Erigor like armor. "Here I come." It gets blasted all at once and heads straight for Natsu. Natsu goes to throw a punch, but it had no effect and he's thrown back a little.
Erigor is now standing, directly in front of Natsu, fully cloaked in his winds. "What's the matter? Can't handle the breeze?"
"Coward! You just had to go and wrap yourself in a wind barrier!" It's no matter to Natsu as he's not giving up. "This'll break through it", he then takes one last big leap towards Erigor and strikes "Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" But upon making contact the fire is immediately extinguished. Natsu can only stare incredulously. "I don't understand. Why did my fire go out?"
Erigor laughs at his suspicions being proven correct. "Just as I suspected. You're completely helpless without your flames. Looks like I have the upper hand."
"No way!" But another gust of wind sends him skidding back a few feet.
"Unfortunately for you, the winds of my storm mail attack blow outwardly. If you get to close, it'll smother your flames leaving you powerless against me!"
"Oh yeah!?"
"Fire can never defeat wind!"

OOOO I LOVE AUGUSTA'S BACKSTORY!! Can Anton be near her without negative effects? What effects did it have on their child (assuming she birthed him)?

Anton is like a little cockroach man (/aff) that can’t be killed, so even though he does feel very minor effects of Augusta’s radiation he’s otherwise fine lol. Vincent shares this trait and wouldn’t be affected by her radiation either.
If anything, he would need to rest time to time since her radiation wears peoples bodies down with fatigue & nausea. He could rest in her shadow so he can heal!
If Augusta wears her spacesuit around him it will still dampen her radiation and would feel completely fine.
Anton’s lore is more detailed on his toyhouse page, and you could ask @poicyss any questions about him or her swag ocs ^^
Vincent was born normally and didn’t suffer any side effects. Although the star only fused and is still stuck to Augusta’s body, only she is radioactive as long as the star is still there
Vincent only inherited her glowing marks and antigravity, but not as strong as her.
Augusta and Lucky are both weredogs which gets passed down to Vincent. He was born as a dog pup as an infant and gained human form as he matured (same happened for Augusta and Lucky)
#thank you again for asking abt the sillies!!!!!!#I’m assuming vincent would have to be immune to radiation so he could chill in auggies belly LOL#the star marking on Vincent’s puppy form is also similar to Augusta!! the white marking on her hair is supposed to resemble a star#so when she was born she has a star marking on her forehead. hers is a 5 point star ⭐️ and Vincent’s is 4 point ✨#oc lore#my oc#friend oc#Augusta#Anton#Vincent#sillies family#yapping#doodles#oc

pairing: regulus black x evans!reader
word count: 3.3k
warnings: swearing, angst, make out scene
request by: @upchurch-funk
summary: being a muggleborn dating Regulus meant you had to keep it a secret. When your older sister finds out she raises fear of heartbreak in both of you
♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~
You and your sisters had been born jealous. Petunia turned to envy first as the attention that had been solely given to her was split between two other daughters. She had always been bitter towards you and Lily, never forgiving you for interpreting her perfect young life. She had taken your things, broken your toys and ripped your clothes trying to punish you for being born and turning her from an only child to the eldest.
Lily was next when she realised she wasn't the only one who could sprout fire from her fingertips. She had accused you of faking your magic for years, doing everything she could to best you even if she never fully understood her powers herself. Luckily she outgrew this jealous fit and by the time you shared a cabin on your way to Hogwarts she was beaming ear to ear.
It was you who was last to realise what the burn in your chest really meant. The feeling came heavy like thick rain drops as you watched your sister fall so effortlessly in love. Each time she gave James a quick hug or leaned onto his shoulder your eyes narrowed, fury irrationally rising in your throat.
This wasn’t because you wished James was yours instead. In fact you had considered him an idiot since you met him and would have rather drown yourself than date the loud mouth fool. You were instead jealous of the simplicity of their relationship. Envious of how they could be carefree, how they could dream of picket fences and happy futures. You hated that they could still be stupid kids. How they were given the freedom to make out in hallways and sneak into eachothers dorms with their worst consequence being a slap on the wrist and week of detention. Nothing hurt more than watching your sister live a simple life you knew you never could.
You stared across the room locking eyes with Regulus for only a brief moment before his darted away. Charms was dreadfully boring, the lecture practically putting you to sleep, you knew you should have been paying attention, but watching the younger Black perform the spell with ease was far more interesting. The flick of his wrist was an addicting, dull look in his eyes far more attractive than it should have been. He had woken up late that morning, his hair messier than usual. You thought it looked adorable, the way a few strands drooped in front of his lashes. He only got cuter as he blew them from his face with a pout.
“You have a staring problem.” Levi muttered from beside you.
You rolled your eyes, “Do you ever mind your own business?”
“Please, you make your thing for Black everyone's business.” He muttered and you kicked him under the desk.
Cussing at you he glared, leaning down to massage his bruising shin.
You wondered briefly how he would have reacted to the reveal of your relationship with your “hopeless crush” as he liked to call it. The surprise on his face would have been sweet as honey.
Regulus was watching you now as you continued to talk to your desk mate, he had never liked the boy, call it jealousy or anger, something bitter always rose in his throat when he saw you with him. Maybe it was because he knew your life would be so much easier if you had loved him instead.
“I don’t get what you see in him anyway.” Levi said, looking across at Regulus whose eyes had quickly retreated back to his parchment.
You grew brittle at the statement.
“I mean I know he's attractive but if it's really about looks why not go for his brother?” He grumbled.
You scoffed, “Please, Sirius is a piece of work.”
“And he isn't? I’m surprised he hasn’t called you a slur yet.”
Rage bubbled in your stomach, your chest feeling hot, “Shut up.”
Levi was either oblivious to the anger set in your tone or unbothered by it “I mean really y/n, you have a crush on a purist? It's sickening.”
You screwed your eyes shut in an attempt to stop the hot tears building behind them. You wanted to scream at him, slap him across the face and shout how Regulus would never do such a thing. You wanted to tell him how wrong he was, make him regret ever speaking such cold words. But instead you looked away, wiping your tears as they came while your boyfriend sat across the room pretending you didn't exist.
You were used to it, you knew as a muggleborn dating a pureblood from a family like his would never be easy but the words still stung. That night you sobbed into Regulus’s chest as he held you in your usual hidden courtyard.
As your tears soaked through his sweater he felt nothing but the cold grip of guilt. He had never meant to fall in love. He had known it was a mistake the second it had happened. Even now he knew he had been wrong and stupid and naive to let himself feel so deeply for someone he could never truly be with. He would never forgive himself for forcing you into the hellish life he lived with a simple confession. He hated himself every day for it, he didn't deserve to indulge in his emotions knowing it would cause you nothing but pain. He didn't deserve you and he had known that from the start.
Yet every night you met, kissing under the pale moon until your lips grew numb. Everynight he found himself falling deeper and deeper into you until you filled his dreams and nightmares alike. So he forced you closer to him, knowing he would cause nothing but hurt. And you were so childishly in love you let him.
Later as you lay asleep on his chest, legs tangled beneath a blanket he let his own tears go, silent apologies dripping down his cheek as he tightened his grip on your waist.
Lily watched you from where she sat at her table, green eyes narrowed as she tried to read your mind across the dining hall.
“Something is definitely off.” She mumbled turning to James who stared at her with a dopey grin. “You haven’t been listening to a word I said have you?”
“How can I when you’re so beautiful?” He murmured back and she scoffed, face darkening.
Sirius gagged, “You guys are disgusting.”
“Christ Black, how old are you?” Lily spoke with the roll of her eyes.
He scrunched his nose and pretended to mock her silently only earning a sigh from Remus who sat beside him.
“Something is wrong with y/n, I can just feel it.” Lily continued content on ignoring Sirius.
“Maybe she's dating that Callahan kid.” James offered. “There’s been tons of rumors.”
Lily scoffed, “Please, she has told me multiple times she has absolutely no interest in him.”
“A few months ago you were telling her you had absolutely no interest in James.” Remus offered not to look up from his book.
Lily sputtered blushing heavily again, “That is completely different.”
“Sure it is.” Remus drawled, eyes peering over the cover at her.
Lily furrowed her brow, “But why wouldn’t she tell me? I mean I thought we've always been close.”
“Maybe it's not that serious.” Sirius shrugged, “Maybe they’re just fuck buddies or something.”
Lily pulled back in disgust, “Don’t talk about my little sister like that!” she hissed as Remus kicked him under the table.
“What? She’s almost 17! It's not like she's 12 or something, Godric.” Sirius complained and James threw a spoon at him.
“You know if you’re really that curious we could always just check the map.” James said looking over at Lily who was trying to set Sirius on fire with her glare.
She considered it for a moment, “Isn’t that kind of..” she paused “intrusive?”
He shrugged, “She's your little sister.”
The sky was dark that night as you met with Regulus. The moon was new leaving only the blinking stars to light the ground beneath you.
You grinned when you saw Regulus leaning against the small statue in the middle of the courtyard. You quickened your pace pulling him into a brief kiss as you met.
“Hi.” You whispered against his lips and you felt him smile.
“Hi.” He responded, hands on your waist pulling you closer once again.
You tasted sweet like the nectar of the gods, soft and tender in his arms. Your hair smelt of pomegranate, your flowery perfume engulfing him. There was nothing more addicting on this world than your lips.
You both pulled away breathless and grinning stupidly, “Your hair looks so cute like this.” You mumbled running your hands through it and tugging lightly on a curly lock that had fallen down his forehead.
Regulus practically purred, melting into your touch. He dipped his head low to hide his blush, lips skimming the skin of your neck.
You giggled as he mumbled a bashful thank you before nipping slightly below your ear. He was always careful to never leave marks that could be seen the following day. You wished he wasn’t.
You felt his hands on the back of your thighs lifting you off the ground. You wrapped your arms around his neck and buried your nose in his hair as he walked until your back hit the wall of the castle. You scratched your nails lightly against his scalp and Regulus groaned. You gasped at the feeling of his tongue on your jaw as he pressed you further into the stone. Your legs now wrapped around his waist as he left sloppy kisses on your collar bone.
It was then you heard the shuffle of footsteps.
“Regulus.” You whispered and he broke away to look up at you, his lips red and glossy , “I heard someone.”
He slowly lowered you to your feet, “You sure?”
You nodded and you both stood silently, ears craning for another sign of life among you. After a minute you sighed, “Sorry, I must have been hearing things.”
Regulus just shook his head grinning lightly, “ ‘s fine babe.” words slurring, intoxicated by your taste.
Your lips reconnected, his teeth grazing your bottom lip as you began to work on the buttons of his shirt, tugging on his tie to loosen its knot. But there it was again the soft sound of feet, closer this time.
You both paused Regulus pulling away leaving your skin feeling cold in his absence.
“Who’s there?” He demanded into the darkness, wand lit.
There was no response and you grabbed his hand to pull him back to you. Regulus stood his ground so you leaned into him, lips ghosting against his ear.
“It's probably just a mouse or somethin’.” You murmured hands coming back to undo the remaining buttons of his shirt.
Regulus glanced around once more before looking down at you, “You’re probably right.” he said before he began to untuck your blouse, hands sliding slowly under it.
It was that which finally broke Lily, her vision going red. She stepped from beneath the invisibility cloak ignoring James' protests.
You let out a small yelp as your sister appeared from thin air, Regulus who had his back turned to her immediately drew his wand pushing you lightly behind him. His eyes went wide as he found himself inches from your older sister. It was your turn to pull Regulus behind you.
“Lily, What in bloody hell are you doing here?”
When James sheepishly appeared as well you gasped, “What is wrong with you both, are you stalking me?”
Lily looked stern, her arms crossed, “Why are you with him?” she seethed.
Your eyes narrowed, “None of your fucking buissnes. Now take your dog and leave.”
Regulus almost didn't believe it was you that was talking. He wasn’t accustomed to the harsh tone you used, your anger hardly ever directed at him.
“This is most certainly my business!” She spoke shrilly.
“It is most certainly not. Now get out.” You shouted.
“How can you expect me to leave when you're getting all touchy feely with a purist?” She hissed, grabbing at your wrist to pull you away from the boy behind you. You slapped her away so hard the sound echoed off the walls, “Call him that again around me and you’ll fucking regret it.” You growled.
Lily stepped back surprised by your sudden aggression but not backing down, “Please y/n, I’m just calling it as it. The sooner you realise that the better.”
Regulus felt his throat tighten as he listened, teeth biting into his lip as he had nowhere to look but his feet.
You stepped closer to your sister inches from her face, “Leave.” your voice struck heavy.
Lily responded just as harshly, “No.”
James shifted behind his girlfriend feeling like he was intruding on the fight which was taking place. Sensing his awkwardness you looked back at him with a searing gaze.
“Get out Potter, you have no place here.” You spat.
He was planning on shuffling away when Lily turned back to him angrily, “No James stay.”
You scoffed as he did as he was told, “Fucking pet.”
“Don’t speak to him like that.” Lily scolded.
“You're the one who's calling my boyfriend a purist.” You growled your mouth bitter at the taste of hypocrisy.
“Because he is one!” She bit back. “You really think he actually loves you after being raised how he was? With a mother like his?”
Regulus felt like he had been slapped, his cheek stinging as the older girl spoke.
“Don’t you dare bring up his mother.” You were shaking with rage by now, your face streaked with angry tears, “And how dare you speak ill of Regulus simply because of his upbringing as if his brother isn't one of your closest friends. How do you think Sirius would feel hearing what you just said?”
This took Lily back a step, her rage cooling a bit as she realised her mistake, “It’s different,” She tried to recover, “He isn't with his family anymore. Sirius has already broken away from them. He made the choice any good person would.”
Regulus felt her eyes on him as she spoke. She was no longer interested in her sister and instead focused on him. He felt like he was choking under the pressure of her stare. When he glanced up to meet her gaze he inhaled sharply. He hadn’t seen such hatred in a long time.
Your lashes were thick with tears by now, disgust and fury morphing your face, “Go fuck yourself Lily.” You spat.
She ignored you, gaze locked on Regulus, she had no intention of speaking to you anymore, “You stay away from her.” she demanded, “If you truly love her you stay away from her.”
You shouted lunging forwards and shoving your sister backwards. She stumbled back catching herself.
It was you who fell, your feet tangling, forcing you to the ground. You hit hard, hands and knees scraping against stones and moss which made up the floor. You couldn’t find it in you to stand up simply letting exhaustion and misery take you where you lay. You shook with sobs, voice cracked and raw. Lily immediately dropped beside you, hands circling your neck as she drew you into a hug. You fought her as you always did but she held on, letting you beat her chest with your fists until you stilled.
Regulus took a step forward but was stopped by your sister whose glare told him everything he needed to know. Tears pricking his own eyes he stumbled past the two of you and disappeared into the darkness of the dungeons. He didn't hear James shout for him over the sound of the ring in his ears. He wasn’t sure where he ended up, somewhere deep in the depths of the sprawling castle, dust coated the staircase he collapsed onto. Only there did he let himself cry, choking sobs rubbing his throat raw as he looked for someone to blame. His mother for forcing him into the terrifying world of dark magic? His brother for abandoning him in his abusive home? Or your sister for pointing out the truth he prayed you would never see? Regulus wished he could pass the blame off to anyone but he wasn’t stupid, he knew he had no one to hate but himself.
Regulus disappeared entirely for three days. Three days you spent desperately avoiding your sister who seemed just as adamant to talk to you again. You skipped meals opting for hunger instead risking meeting her in the hall. She would show up outside your classes forcing you to scramble out the back way or sprint away like a child running from punishment.
On the fourth day of your boyfriend's absence you felt yourself beginning to panic. Fear of him never returning, filling your head with irrational thoughts. It wasn’t like you could ask around for him, your relationship needed to remain secret despite the difficulties you were facing. It was then Lily cornered you.
You stared at the redhead as she blocked your only exit. “Lily, move.” You sighed exhausted by the past few days, sleepless nights not improving your condition.
She didn't listen, “Y/n we need to talk.”
"About what?" You scoffed, "I have nothing to say to you.”
“I just want you to understand why I,” She paused, “Why I said what I did.”
“I don't care why you said it Lily.” You said, “I don’t care if you think you were protecting me or saving me from some hopeless relationship. I honestly don’t care.”
Her eyes swelled, “How can you say that? How can you not care? I love you y/n I just want you to be safe.”
You stared at her, “I just don’t understand why you couldn’t just let me be happy.”
“He’s dangerous.”
You shook your head, “No, his family is dangerous. His situation is dangerous. He’s not.”
“Y/n please.” She begged, for what you did not know.
“Just stay out of my shit Lily.” you mumbled pushing past her and back into the hallway.
You spent the night where you always had, the small courtyard hidden between two towers of the castle, a statue of a woman draped in vines and flowers at its center. The moon was a small sliver, a dusting of clouds blocking the stars from your view. The shuffle of footsteps brought your eyes from the ground.
There stood Regulus, his face shining in the pale light. His hands were stuffed in his pockets, nose pointed at the floor as he refused to meet your gaze.
You stood quickly throwing your hands around his neck. He leaned into your touch burying his head into your shoulder as his hands found your waist.
You smelled delightful as always, your lips soft against his cheek and hands in his hair. Regulus hadn’t realized he was crying until you began to comfort him. Sweet words whispered into his ear as you only held him tighter.
“She’s right, you know.” He croaked, lifting his head to look at you. “You shouldn’t be around me.”
You shook your head feverishly, “You’re wrong Reggy.”
“I don’t deserve you y/n, I don’t deserve to be with you.” He sobbed, “I could never deserve you.”
“You’re right, love.” You mumbled, smiling through the tears that coated your cheeks, “You deserve so much better.”

Zutara Month Day 8: Chief Katara
Hakoda passes in his sleep in the snow hut Katara had built for him. The snowfall is soft and light, the sun reflecting off the white-blanketed ground making everything seem brighter, as if the world were spirit-touched. Perhaps it is, on this day.
Grief in the Southern Water Tribe is a public affair. Her people believe that it is not right to keep these things unexpressed. But Katara is so used to living with grief, that silent companion. There was no room for expressions of grief when her mother died. Just because things are different now doesn’t change the guilt of it, and it seems wrong to her that she should cry for her father in a time of peace, when the sun is shining and reflecting off the snow, at a time when the world should be brighter.
Sokka had gone off to rebuild Kyoshi Island with Suki, and then there were other things to do. Engineering school in the Earth Kingdom, technological wonders to discover forged by the newly allied Earth and Fire. They were going to change the world, her brother said.
It is changed already.
Yet so much is still the same. The same grief sits within her heart, although there is room for much more there, now. More than what that lonely girl could handle, back then. There is joy, and love, and hope.
Zuko never sheds a tear. Whereas Katara’s heart is awash with her grief, the same emotion in Zuko sits like a stone. She can see it in his face, the way he schools his expression, a tactic he’d learned in childhood.
Katara does everything she can to make herself busy, including taking up the mantle that her father’s absence left. There is no time for grief when there is work to be done.
It’s Zuko who visits the stone where her father’s body lies buried, every day of the prescribed mourning period. Her husband who she has never seen cry, whose own father burned and scorned him. She sees him standing on the horizon with the mourners, sometimes kneeling among them, into the day and after the stars come out. From a distance, she hears his voice leading them in prayer for her father’s spirit, performing the rituals as if he were born to them.
He does it for her, she realizes. Not only because he loved Hakoda - for there will always be that part of her husband that clings to a father. She suspects the real reason lies in those moments, when he comes in from the cold to find her in council, or writing letters to the North or the Earth King (bearing her seal, the mark of the brave) to gently kiss her on the forehead and say, with a smile, “How are we going to save the world today, Chief?”

LEADER CEREMONIES
I’ve stated before why leadership ceremonies include markings. They also have different words and areas as well. How about we describe those differences?
Alderstar
Location:

Tall, leafless alder tree. Bottom branches are wide. This is where he stands. The cats in the crowd stand/sit in a clearing that it is on the edge of.
It is far from the Eye-out Thorns, but close enough to be within view of them.
Marking:
He does not mark kits becoming apprentices, only apprentices become warriors or healers.

His markings come in the shape of thorns, honouring his home and family. It does not matter the direction or where the lines cross, so long as there is an intersection. The long scar represents a branch, and the short one a thorn.
Cats can choose the location on their body, if anywhere at all, they wish to be marked.
Ritual Words:
Warrior/Med Cat ceremony
Welcome, kin and friends. Today, we honour [number] apprentice[s], who defied their fate long ago. Had the Stars had their way, they would have remained small and defenseless. We are not the Stars. We defied them, we defied the logics of death, and we grew. Now, we shall honour the growth, the strength, and the courage in these [number] young cat[s], now ready to become full warriors of the Place of No Stars.
[Name/s], step forward.
When he gives a cat their name, he starts with, ‘for your resistance against fate,’ and then proceeds to name two traits specific to the individual.
(This repeats if there are multiple cats).
Alder then hops off of the branch and faces the cat[s].
Before he marks them, he asks if they are ready.
After he marks them, he says ‘you are [a] true warrior[s] now. Let us call out their names, and tell the Stars they have no strength here!’
These are the words spoken for kits and apprentices that had died. For Dark Kits, he says the same thing, only instead of “you would have remained small and defenseless,” he says “you would have never been born.”
Blackstar
Location:

A long rotting stump in the middle of a dry field.
On the opposite side of the field is her den, a mound in the ground.
Marking:
Taking after Alderstar, she only marks those who become warriors or healers, not kits becoming apprentices.


Her marking comes as a “+” cross, representing the leaves on a nettle plant. It honours her warrior name, Blacknettle.
Cats can choose where the marking may be.
Ritual Words:
Warrior/Med Cat ceremony
Thank you all for attending this ceremony. Every kit born here is a miracle facing against death, every apprentice that grows here a wonder of nature.
[Name], step forward.
[Name], will you continue to thrive and grow, and be the best that you can be for all you wish to be?
(apprentice responds that they do)
Then I, as a once-leader of Shadowclan, give you your warrior/medicine cat name. From this day forward, you shall be known as [name]. I welcome you to the Place of No Stars. May the Star’s light never burn your eyes.
she hops off of the stump, and the scarring ceremony proceeds in silence.
(The crowd chants the new name[s]).
Whitestar
Location:

The rock is much farther from his den than Blackstar’s or Alderstar’s is to them, but it is walkable.
It is a pale, flat-topped boulder between thin trees.
Marking:

His marking is a copy of his own scars on his head.
Cats cannot choose the location. If they wish to have a marking, it must be on the same spot--on the forehead.
His and Blackstar’s may look similar. Hers looks like a + and his looks like an x that has two twisted legs and a bigger intersecting area.
Ritual Words:
Warrior/Med Cat ceremony
Every word spoken on this day is a moment in history, yet the Clans have no idea about it. We do not need them, we do not need the Stars. We have our friends, our family, our Dark kin, and with them we build.
[Name], step forward.
Do you promise to help your Dark kin to build an afterlife worth living, to stand for good even in the rot, to fight evil despite it being what many believe to define you?
(apprentice responds that they do)
Then today you shall earn the name life had denied you. You shall be known as [name].
He then hops off of the rock and faces the cat[s].
Your marking will resemble my own, placed on your head. Do you wish to receive it?
No matter how the apprentice responds, the ceremony ends with yowling the names[s].
===========================
Black’s words are sort of similar to Alder’s, as is the marking ceremony. This is because she was shocked to hear that cats wished for her to name them and looked to him for advice.
============================
I also made a post talking about the different symbols the leaders wear. Make sure to check that out!

Star's Chosen AU
this has been rotating in my mind for a long time-
ok so
each of the two "Chosen" litters (holly, jay, lion & ivy, dove) are born with star markings. I'm calling it the star's chosen au
Jayfeather has a star on his forehead to symbolise his "third eye" and how he can sense emotions and read minds. When he's using his power, his forehead will hurt, and the further he goes, the more it hurts. When he saved Poppypaw from StarClan, he had migraines for months afterward. after the great battle it fractured and split in two.
Lionblaze has a star on his chest, which is like his strength over battles. Whenever he won a battle he got chest pains. after the great battle it split into two.
Hollyleaf had a star over her eye. This star symbolises her blindness to everything but StarClan and the code. whenever she thought about her powers, she went half-blind. After she went into the tunnels, she tried to gouge the star out, in a kind of blind rage against StarClan, the warrior code and her family. she now has edgy scars all over her eye. She and Ivypool are good friends.
Ivypool has a star on her tail, which represents how she will leave the stars behind her as she trains in the dark forest. When she was training, another cat ripped half of her tail (the bit with the star) completely off. after the great battle she got a star on her forehead (hard to see in the picture) bc she used her smarts rather than her claws. van Ivypool supremacy.

Dovewing had stars on her ears (duh). they were how she could hear and see. When she was a kit, before she started using her powers, Dovekit had golden eyes, and the use of her powers turned them blue. After the great battle and loss of her powers, her eyes turned green (blue+gold). whenever she finished using her powers, Dovewing became near deaf and blind.

It took me ages but i finished it after like a month
Tigerclaw's family, part one
Tigerclaw himself is big and extremely tall
He has some scars, but the only one visible on his face is the torn ear
Leaders get a marking on the forehead to resemble a star/diamond when they touch their forehead to the Moonstone at their leader ceremony. Tiger, however, was born with this mark, something he considers a sign of his destiny
He's considered an extremely attractive cat and knows it
Face markings are meant to resemble wings which stand for his ambition
Goldenflower
Another tall cat
Very long and fluffy fur
She's well groomed, but there are some strands on her forehead that can't be tamed
Kinda based on a daffodil
Brambleclaw
tigerclone, obviously
He's a little smaller than his father, but still really tall and buff
Only gets the fluff and the lighter-coloured snout and paws from Goldenflower
Tawnypelt
Torbie because she should look like both of her parents. Also her german name translates to Amberpelt and amber can be all of these colours, it makes perfect sense, it symbolizes her relationship to Tigerclaw, i could go on forever
Built like the rest of her family, but is the least fluffy
Looks mean at all times, whereas the rest of the family has a certain friendliness to them (tigerclaw less so but he has so much handsome privilege it cancels out)
Tabby pattern close to Goldenflower's
Her colours are a little diluted
#tigerclaw is just rasputin to me#everything is free to use (i will be insanely happy if anyone draws them)#warrior cats#warrior cats art#tigerclaw#tigerstar#goldenflower#brambleclaw#bramblestar#tawnypelt#zayas canon designs

hi! i love your blog! i was wondering if maybe you could write something where y/n and harry just had their first baby and they finally get some time to themselves and she's a little insecure about their first time after the post partum and nervous about her body or how it gonna feels like? thank uu💖
omg thank you 🥺🥺 I'm so sorry this took so long! i hope you like it :)
a very romantic bath for two
warnings: body insecurity, body image issues
word count: 2.8k
You sighed as you inspected your body in the mirror, running your fingers over the raised lines on your tummy and hips. Many of them were new; they had popped up sometime during your second trimester. At the time, you had been too busy worrying about the new life growing inside you and preparing to bring her home to focus too much on what was happening to your body. Even during the last few weeks of your pregnancy when you felt huge most of the time, Harry made sure to remind you constantly how much he loved you and your new body. He would rub your belly all the time, leaning down to kiss it and talk to your baby. He insisted it would help them develop faster once they were born, but you weren't quite sure where he got this "fact". You both knew he just liked being close to you and your baby.
He really hadn't left any room for you to be insecure during your pregnancy. He reassured you every day that you were more beautiful than ever, and he was always showing you how much he liked your new body. He could never keep his hands off you, always wanting to touch and hold you. It even got annoying at times, but mostly you appreciated it, and you were glad he never let your hormones get the best of you. Then, after Stevie was born, you were too busy and exhausted to even think about your appearance. You and harry were barely getting any sleep, and all of your time was devoted to caring for the newest member of your family. It wasn't until now, when Stevie was a little over 3 months old, that things started calming down a bit. She slept through the night most of the time, and you were finally coming out of that sleep deprived haze you had been in. Unfortunately, this gave you time to really look at yourself in the mirror. You had just gotten out of the shower, and Harry was with Stevie in the living room. You tilted to the side, looking at how much bigger your stomach was than before you had Stevie. The skin there was dimpled and soft, much more squishy than it used to be. And the stretch marks. They were everywhere, and much more prominent than they had ever been. You weren't sure if you would ever be able to get back to normal. Your negative thoughts were interrupted by a short knock on the door. You quickly wrapped a towel around yourself before you called, "You can come in!" Harry peaked his head into the room, smiling softly. "Sorry to bother you, but I'm out of wipes. I think there's another pack under the sink?" "No, it's okay, i was done," you smiled, reaching under the sink to grab the package. "Is she okay?" "She's fine, lovie," he smiled softly. "You don't have to feel bad being away for her for half an hour." "I know," you sighed. "But i still do. I hate not being next to her all the time." "Me too, i just want to hold her and never put her down." You nodded, sighing internally at how much you already missed your baby. "Why don't you finish up in here and then we'll make some lunch?" "Sounds good," you said, smiling at him in the mirror. Once the door was closed, you dropped the towel again. You really tried not to be too upset about how you looked, but it was hard. You knew if you told Harry he would just say the same thing, that it was normal and he thought you were beautiful. You didn't think that would help much. So you pulled on your old t-shirt and sweatpants, running a brush through your wet hair before making your way out to the kitchen. "Hi, baby," you smiled, picking Stevie up from the play mat on the floor. "I missed you." She snuggled against your chest, her head leaning on your shoulder as she let out a content little sigh. You leaned down, grabbing Stevie's rattle and putting it back in the toy box before you made your way into the kitchen. "How does spaghetti sound?" Harry asked. "Sounds good," you nodded, settling into one of the chairs at the dining table. you were about to pull off your shirt to feed Stevie, but the image of your prominent stretch marks made you reconsider. "Can you grab me one of the blankets?" You asked, but kept your eyes on Stevie. You knew if you looked up, you would see that sad and confused look on his face as he wondered why you suddenly wanted to cover yourself around him, and you really didn't feel like explaining your newfound insecurities right now. Thankfully, he didn't press for answers. "Sure, love. It's in the nursery?" You nodded, fiddling with the collar of Stevie's onesie to look busy. "Okay, I'll be right back," He gave a small smile before he left the kitchen. "What am i gonna do, hm?" You asked Stevie. She just blinked in response. Harry came back with the blanket, draping it over your shoulders from the front. "Thank you," you said quietly, adjusting the cover so you could pull your shirt up. "Of course, love," he replied, going back to the stove. "I wanted to ask you something, actually." You
hummed questioningly, eyes fixed on Stevie under the blanket. "Well, we just haven't had any time alone since Stevie was born, and my mum is dying to spend some more time with her, so do you think... I mean, only if it's okay with you, maybe we could have my mum take her for the weekend?" You hesitated, your heart suddenly beating much faster. Being away from Stevie for more than a day... of course you knew she would be safe and happy with Anne, but still... the thought made anxiety spike in your chest. Then there was the matter of being alone with Harry. You probably should feel guilty for not wanting to spend time with him, but with the way you had been feeling about yourself lately, you couldn't bring yourself to care. But you also knew refusing this would cause all sorts of problems. It would make both Harry and Anne feel bad, and you really didn't want to upset anyone. So, taking a shaky breath in, you nodded. "We can do that. I just... i don't think I can do more than a day or two." "That's totally fine," Harry reassured you. "I don't want to be away from her for that long either. I was thinking we could drop her off Friday after lunch, then pick her up Saturday evening. Or sometime Sunday if they're really having a good time," he laughed. "They'll have all sorts of fun together, mum might not want to let her go so soon." You smiled at the thought of the pictures you knew Anne would send you. Stevie and her in the garden, Stevie in the stroller as they went for a walk, Stevie in the high chair while Anne baked cookies. "Okay. After supper we can get her stuff together." Harry beamed, coming over to kiss your forehead. "Thank you, baby. And if it gets to be too much, we can pick her up early. We can do whatever you need, okay?" Despite Harry's constant reassurance, you felt no less anxious the next day. You checked and re-checked Stevie's bag, making sure she had enough clothes to last her a week. "Lovie, she's only gonna be there for two days," Harry reminded you gently. "No, I know, but what if she spits up a lot? Sometimes she spits up a whole bunch and then she'll need to be changed, and what if-" "Hey, hey," he cut you off, placing his hands on your shoulders and speaking in a soothing tone. "It'll be alright. She's gonna be fine. She has enough clothes, and everything is gonna be okay." You nodded, taking a deep breath as you looked into his eyes. "Right. She's gonna be fine."
-----
"And the milk is here-" you held up several plastic bags- "I'll put this in the fridge. And to heat it up- wait, you already know how to heat up milk," you laughed nervously. "Um, and her onesies are all in the backpack. I have extras in there- a lot of extras, because sometimes she spits up a lot. And then her diffuser is in there too- we usually put a few drops of lavender oil in there, it helps her sleep. And diapers and wipes and diaper cream are all in the bag, and... oh! Her stuffed bunny. It helps her calm down if she's fussy. And I think... that should be everything," You exhaled, trying to smile at Anne. Harry put his arm around your waist. "Y/N, she knows how to take care of a baby. Look how well i turned out!" Despite how nervous you were, you managed to laugh. "Right. I'm just... I'm sorry, I've never been away from her." "It's alright," Anne smiled reassuringly. "I understand how scary it is to be away from her for the first time. But you can call or FaceTime, or if it's too much you can come pick her up." "Thank you," you sighed. "We should probably get going before i change my mind." Harry nodded, unbuckling Stevie from her carrier. He hugged her to his chest, kissing the top of her head. "I'll miss you so much," he said. "But you'll have so much fun with your grandma. And we'll see you soon, okay?" he kissed her one more time before handing her over to you. "Be good for your grandma, okay? I love you," you kissed her just like Harry had. "I love you so much." Before you could start crying, you handed her to Anne. "Thank you so much for this, Anne," you said. "We really appreciate it." "You're a godsend," harry agreed. "Thank you." "Of course, I'm happy to have her," Anne smiled. "Now shoo, so i can spend some time with her!"
-----
"It's so quiet," Harry said as you walked into the house. "I'm not used to it." "I know," You laughed. "There's no cartoons or baby shark, it's crazy." "Can't say I miss baby shark, though," he shook his head. "I think we need to find a new song for her." You nodded. "It got old really fast." "It did," he laughed. "And now... we can enjoy some peace... and quiet." He stepped closer to you, smiling as he heard your breath hitch. "I was thinking maybe we could have a bath together?" Your heart started thudding faster in your chest, and not for a good reason. "No," you said quickly. Too quickly. Hurt and confusion flashed across his face, and you immediately wanted to take back your words. "I just- I can't," you said quietly, stepping back. "Is there... did something happen?" he asked gently, eyes softening when he realized how close to tears you were. "What's the matter, love?" "Harry, I just can't," you shook your head as tears welled up in your eyes. "I'm sorry. I'm trying but I just can't get back to normal. I look terrible and I have all these stretch marks and everything is just wrong," you cried, bringing up your hands to cover your face. "Baby..." he whispered, moving closer and opening his arms. "Come here." You did as he asked, walking into his arms and leaning against him as you cried. "I just don't want you to see me," you sniffled. "Your body isn't wrong," he shook his head. "Not at all. It might look different than it did before, but that's because it went through something amazing. It gave us Stevie! It- you are perfect. Alright?" You nodded against his chest. "I just... i really don't like the way i look anymore and i don't think you will either." Since your face was pressed against his shirt, you didn't see the way his face dropped. You didn't see how much it hurt him to hear you talk about yourself this way. You felt him inhale a shaky breath before he hugged you tighter. "I'm so sorry you feel this way. I had no idea how much it was bothering you. I want- I want to show you how much I love you. Will you let me show you?" "How?" you said quietly. "Do you trust me?" You hesitated for only a moment before nodding. He smiled, pulling back and taking your hand. He lead you into your bedroom, closing the door behind the two of you. He crossed the room to stand in front of you again, his fingers gripping the hem of your shirt. "Can i take this off?" he asked quietly, keeping his eyes on yours. He must have sensed your hesitancy, because he dropped his hands down to his sides. "It's just me," he reminded you. "We don't have to if you don't want to, though." "No, it's... it's okay," You decided, raising your arms. He smiled gently, tugging the soft material up and over your head. You kept your eyes on him as soon as the shirt was off your head, too apprehensive to look down at your body. "You're so beautiful," he whispered. He hooked his fingers in the elastic of your sweatpants, looking at you again for confirmation. You nodded, allowing him to pull the rest of the clothing off your body and taking his hand to step out of them. He lead you over to the bed, keeping his eyes on yours the whole way. "Lay back," he instructed quietly, watching as you did what he said. He climbed into the bed behind you, settling himself between your legs to meet your eyes. "You're amazing," he smiled. "The most beautiful woman I've ever seen." he brought his hand down to your stomach, and you cringed immediately when he brushed over one of the marks. "It's okay," he soothed. "There's nothing wrong with these. You know what they are?" You shook your head. "They're little marks that remind us of Stevie. They show how strong you are for carrying her, and keeping her safe until she was ready to come out and meet us. And they show how someday, you'll be able to have another baby, and keep him or her safe just like Stevie. Right? That's all they are." He moved down, leaning his head closer so he could press a soft kiss to one of the marks near your hip. "I don't want you to change anything
about yourself," he said, moving his lips over the lines on your tummy. "I love you just the way you are." Tears were welling up in your eyes again, but this time they weren't from anxiety or fear. This time, they were because you felt overwhelmed by your love for him. "Harry..." He looked up, his face falling when he noticed the tears in your eyes. "No, please don't cry," he said, moving back up to hover over you again. "I'm sorry, please don't be upset," he frowned, wiping one of the tears away with his thumb. You shook your head. "That's not why- i just love you so much," you said, trying your best to smile. "I love you too," he smiled back, leaning down to kiss your forehead, then your nose, then your cheeks, and finally, your lips. "I love you so, so much, and I will show you every day if you'll let me," he sighed, moving off you to lay on his side. He kept one hand on your hip, helping you turn over to look at him. "I want you to tell me if you're ever feeling like this again, okay? I want to know so I can help you." "Okay," you nodded, still sniffling a bit. "Thank you." You leaned against him, tucking your head in his neck. "Thank you." "Of course, lovie." He wrapped his arms around you, kissing the top of your head. "I want you to always know how loved you are. It doesn't matter how many times I have to remind you; i don't ever want you to feel like this and not tell me. I love you way too much to let you be this sad." "I will," you promised. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner." "it's okay," he soothed, running his hand up and down your back. "Do you think... it's okay if you're not ready yet, but do you think we could try taking a bath?" This time, you barely even hesitated before answering. "I think we can try," you nodded. "We can even turn off the lights if you want, just light a few candles," he mused, his face pressed gently against your hair. "It's more romantic that way anyways." "That sounds good," you laughed. "Come on then," he said, sitting up. "One very romantic bath for two, coming right up."

PAIRING: bodyguard!bucky barnes x innocent actress!reader
WARNINGS: none
A/N: boy, did i take a lot of time to post this but it’s the last one and i am on the ground crying. thank you so much for supporting this work. i am so lucky for having all of you xx
Bucky woke up with an odd cold feeling in the spot where Y/N usually used to lie. He rubbed the sleep of his eyes, hand roaming around the bed to find her hot body but nothing; he was alone in bed. He groaned, moving out of the bed as he kicked into protective mode. She shouldn’t be up this early at least not after he’d kept her up all night and if she was awake, it could be for no good reason. His hand blindly found the door as the other looked for something to wear so he wouldn’t walk full on commando in the living room and scare the neighbour who lived in the building next to his. Opening the door, he found her surrounded by papers, her laptop laying on top of her legs, glasses slightly and slowly sliding down the bridge of her nose. Bucky leaned against the door ledge, a stupid lovesick smirk on his lips as he examined her. Somehow, she had managed to find her underwear, the cutest little white, blue and pink corset and matching panties covered by a white dressing gown which just looked delightfully sinful with his hickeys and bite marks spread across her tender skin. He shouldn’t feel so cocky about marking her, yet the mere sight of it woke up an ego like pride which made him want to show her around to everyone who’d bother look. Yet, another part of him wanted to keep her all to himself. Obviously he knew he couldn’t, she was more of the world than she was of him and he would always be madly in love with her no matter what.
- Mrs. Barnes, you are interrupting our honeymoon period. - he joked, walking behind the couch to kiss her temple. - What are you doing up at 5AM? Are you gonna go on a run with me?
- I’m just looking at my contract. - she closed her laptop with a sigh. - Iron clad contract, can’t believe I signed it.
- Princess, it was your first agency. You couldn’t have possibly known.
- My dad is a lawyer, my siblings are lawyers, my grandparents were lawyers. How did I let this happen? Why didn’t I haggle? Why don’t we have a prenup?
- Your mum is a chef, maybe you took after her. - he joked more to himself than to her. - Also what does a prenup has to do with it? Are you planning on divorcing me already?
- When I sent the contract over to my dad he asked if I had gotten a prenup when I got married and I know he likes you but he kept yapping about a prenup and how smart women get prenups and I can’t believe I don’t have a prenup and that I signed this contract. - she spoke as fast as a freight train, not even taking a slight break. Bucky noticed the tea cup by her side which, judging by her quick speak, probably wasn’t filled with tea.
- Princess, did you have some of my coffee?
- I did, I needed to be awake.
- It’s extra strong coffee, doll. You barely drink coffee, it can’t possibly be ... uhm ...
- I am jittery. - she interrupted him. - I’ve read this a thousand times and unless another agency fights my agency for a contract with me, I am stuck on ensemble for the rest of my life and it’s not like agencies are fighting for good old me.
- Okay ... - he took her laptop away from her placing it somewhere on the ground before wrapping his hands around her waist and pulling her on top of his lap. She leaned her head against his chest, cuddling against his still warm torso from the heat int he bedroom. - Listen princess, you need to take your mind out of that. It’s no use re-reading that contract over and over again.
- My career is over and I’m not good at anything else.
- Your career is not over. - his hand caressed her shoulder, pulling her hair away from it before placing a small kiss to her shoulder. She merely cuddled against him, those contract words tattooed on her mind. - There’s no way that contract is legal after he’s charged with harassing you, princess. You just need to relax now.
- I don’t know.
- Let’s go to Florence. - he bite her shoulder playfully. - Let’s go. What’s stopping us?
- I don’t know ... we can’t go.
- Don’t make me use the husband card. - he pointed at her playfully. - You’re not gonna want to be here during his trial anyway, precious.
- Maybe you’re right. - she leaned onto him, her arms wrapping against his torso. - You really think I’m not over?
- I would never let that happen, would I?
10 years later
Bucky felt the sun kiss his skin, the early yet soft wind of March passing by the quiet streets of London as he walked down the street in dark jeans and a equally dark blue henley. He stood by the little white building, sunglasses on as the bell rang and suddenly the boast of laughter erupted from inside the building followed by thousands of little legs running outside. He remained stoic until his smile pulled slightly up as between so many children, he spotted the thick brown curls of his daughter who rushed down the stairs in her little uniform and ladybug bag. She stopped at the bottom off the stairs, looking around until she spotted her dad. A smile, identical to her father’s, formed in her face as she rushed towards Bucky with open arms. He pretended to step back as she collided against him, before pulling her up and kissing her cheek. The 4 year old giggled, her arms wrapping around her dad’s neck as he walked away from her nursery.
- We learned about the letters in our names today, daddy! - she started to relate what she had happened during her day immediately after they were far away from the crowd.
- No way, ladybug.
- Yeah. My name has a B, just like yours, daddy. - Bucky knew he should tell his daughter at some point that his name was not Bucky and that it was merely a nickname but he couldn’t bear tell her. She just looked so happy.
- Thank god we match, right ladybug?
She nodded her head, cuddling against her dad as he continued to walk in the affluent area of London. The weather was nice, a good omen for the big event of the evening. He was so proud as he saw the theatre walls with a photo of his wife, her name printed with the label Tony Award Winner under it. She deserved it, she deserved it so much and he could not even express in words how proud he was of her. The move back to her hometown had been a difficult one but seeing everything going right, seeing how happy she was ... god, he could swell up with pride.
He went around the theatre, finding the backstage door and entering it. His daughter jumped off, little eyes looking around with so much wonder. He was almost sure she’d end up like his mother, a little star. The orchestra tuning could be heard from the walls, people and cast were running around preparing for the opening night. Blair held up his hand, pushing him through the crowd and up the stairs where the dressing rooms were.
- Mumma! - she walked into her mother’s opened dressing room. Y/N dropped whatever she was doing to go hug her daughter, immediately preparing her with lipstick stained kisses. - Mumma, my name has a B like daddy.
- No way. - she smiled, leaning her forehead against hers. - Ain’t daddy a lucky man?
- Daddy is a lucky man, alright. - he chuckled, walking up to his two girls. - You look precious, princess.
- I’m nervous. - he muttered towards her husband, who merely smiled before kissing her. - I’m serious.
- Well, every time you tell me you’re nervous, something great happens, doesn’t it? - he looked at his daughter; the last time she had told him she was nervous was before Blair was born. - Me and Blair are gonna be there, watching you be splendid.
- I wanna go see Chuck. - Blair jumped away from his mother too, running to the next door dressing room and leaving the two lovers alone in the dressing room covered in red flowers, all curtesy of Bucky. The minute he had the theatre address, he started sending roses, lilies and even more every single day.
- Wish me luck? - she put her hands on top of his shoulders, almost slowly dancing with him.
- You don’t need any luck. You’re always perfect.
- You’re extremely biased, Mr. Barnes.
- No, I just have an extremely talented wife, Mrs. Barnes.
- 5 minute call. - the voice came through the voice on the speaker.
- Love me even if I fail?
- Love you ‘til the end of time.
