STOP ATTACKING ME! - A short Helluva Boss OC Drabble

Yeah I’m not gonna lie.. I don’t really like Stolas, I’m sorry. His whiny attitude about how Blitzo doesn’t love him is honestly really annoying. So here’s my frustrations being put into a small story!

(Also this basically serves as an origin story to Raya’s rivalry with Stolas.)

Stolas likers, I’m sorry in advance. This one isn’t for you.

The Goetia palace was lavishing as ever this evening; the crystal chandeliers sparkled in the evening light, the constellations painted on the ceiling seemed to glow, and the polished marble floor reflected the silhouettes of the avian royalty of Hell.

While Stella flounced about on the ballroom floor and squawked to her peacock acquaintances about her stupid husband, the owl prince Stolas stood 10 feet away from her, meekly sipping on some rich wine. “Witch.” He hissed under his breath. He was dressed in his bathrobes, as he couldn’t bother to get into his more formal attire. It’s not like anyone would care, anyways. Pity, pity, pity…

Andrealphus gave his brother-in-law a snide glare as he strode over to his cackling sister, who was loudly singing about what foolish things her husband had said this week. She did like to torment him, so this was nothing new to the owl prince.

Stolas huffed and ruffled his feathers, a look of sadness creeping up on his beak. If only his “star-crossed” lower-class lover Blitzo could whisk him away from the “Still Not Divorced” party, leaving his teenage daughter Octavia to sit awkwardly with her mother…

His train of thought was interrupted when he heard someone yelling mildly as they struggled to climb over the balcony rail. Stolas’s ruby eyes lit up, and he dashed over to the balcony he was standing next to, grabbing the arm to pull his lover up to the pala-

It was a human.

“Oh.” Stolas sighed. Regardless, he helped her up and into the palace, as he didn’t wish to be rude. “My apologies. I thought you were someone else.” He briskly turned to an imp waiter, trying to offer the woman something to drink or nibble on. She refused politely, though by the look on her face, she wanted to discuss something with the prince.

“It’s alright. I actually wanted to ask you about something regarding your.. affair.” The words “affair” seemed to haunt Stolas. Affair was far from what could be described about his loving, totally sincere relationship with Blitzo. “…Right then. Please, pray tell, what do you wish to query me?” Stolas adjusted his bathrobe to appear decent.

“Why do you still chase after that imp?” She shot him a subtle yet icy cold glare. Stolas felt his heart quake. “…What- What is your name..?” He asked the human. She gasped lightly and adjusted her corn-colored hair. “Raya. Why do you wish to know?” She tilted her head up at the prince. “I- …With all due respect, miss Raya… I genuinely feel a strong, warm connection to that little imp.” Stolas stared off into space as a sick warmth spread to his beak.

Raya clenched her teeth, clearly annoyed he was trying to change the subject. As he started to ramble on and on, she felt slightly agitated and wanted to square the conversation back. “No- no, you’re not listening to me, your highness.” She spoke out, causing the owl to hoot slightly and shut his beak in mild shock.

“…Like I said, you’re chasing after someone who isn’t interested in you. You deliberately harass the poor man, exploiting him for your pleasure and to keep his business afloat, and even prioritizing him over your daughter not once, but twice. You flaunted your first affair to your wife. And I get that she’s awful, but it doesn’t give you an excuse to do so. You spend all your time wailing and waiting for your imp prince to rescue you from the wicked witch, but you’re just living a fantasy. A sick fantasy in which you leave your daughter alone as feared. And no amount of coddling could change that, which is why you need to take the first step and accept that Blitz. Doesn’t. Love you.” Raya went on a long-winded rant, essentially calling out the Goetia prince for his attitude and actions.

Stolas was horrified, his legs were shaking like a great earthquake, his heart heavily beating as sweat trickled down his beak. It was true, but he didn’t want to accept it. He hated confrontation, he hated owning up to his mistakes and recognizing his flaws. And then, right before she could deliver the verdict…

“STOP! STOP IT, PLEASE, I BEG OF YOU! PLEASE, STOP IT!” Like a child, the owl prince screeched and stumbled back, crocodile tears streaming down his face as he made a scene. “No- wait- I- I didn’t mean to. Your royal highness, I apologize. Please, just breathe and think rationally for a second…!” Raya lightly raised her hand to soothe the prince.

“WITCH! SHE’S RAISING HER HAND AGAINST ME! SOMEONE, PLEASE TAKE HER AWAY!” Stolas cried out, dark blue feathers slightly falling from his body.

The orchestra paused as the royal avians turned to the scene. Andrealphus raised an eyebrow, mildly confused at the behavior of his brother-in-law. Stella, however, had a wicked, almost proud grin on her face. Two hellhounds grabbed Raya by the forearms while she was distracted from attempting to ease the prince.

“Ma’am, it’s nothing personal. We’d like for you to leave the premises at once.” One of them barked at her. “No, wait-! I’m not done! Octavia! Princess! Please just know that my door’s open if you wish to have a safe space!!” Raya called to the Goetia princess as she was dragged out of the ballroom. Octavia, while mildly confused, as put at ease as she went to go comfort her tantrum-throwing father.

Raya was tossed outside of the Goetia palace, and she hit the pavement upon impact. “Respectfully, you are disallowed from entering this palace again.” The other hellhound affirmed her as they shut the doors. “Damn it all…” Raya sighed and picked herself up. She shivered slightly, mildly irritated that her confrontational approach didn’t work out in the end.

Just before she was about to leave, the door opened and closed quickly. Raya turned around, finding a prideful Stella exiting the palace. “Well done. Really, darling, well done!” She slowly applauded the human. “What?” Raya mouthed to no one in particular.

“You really took the words out of my mouth. Although I’m still mildly disgusted that the imp-sucking excuse of my husband is being coddled right now back upstairs… you really said some things I wanted to hear for a long time.” Stella smiled lightly, offering a hand for the human to shake. Raya stared down at her hand, then pulled her lavender cardigan sleeve a bit over her palm before accepting the handshake.

“I’m… honored, I guess.” She awkwardly brushed a piece of hair out of her eyes. “Well, I must head back to the Still Not Divorced soirée. Just keep in mind though… I admire your bravery.” Stella curtsied lightly before taking her leave and re-entering the palace.

Raya stood there, flabbergasted. Although her mission was unsuccessful, she at least felt satisfied voicing her thoughts on the prince.

And that’s the end! I’m gonna be honest, I’m not really keeping up with the show anymore, so I tried to write the characters to the best of my ability.

Hot take: Asha should've been written similar to Charlotte La Bouff

Eventually I'm gonna be able to move on from my dissapointment that is "Wish," but then I remember it's been less than a year since the film's came out, and I don't feel that bad. Anyway, allow me to explain my viewpoint: why Asha, the charismatic hero of Rosas who overthrows the (suddenly) power-hungry king, could've leaned more into characterization similar to Charlotte La Bouff, a spoiled rich girl in New Orleans.

Their exposition and personalities--Asha is introduced to us as a teenager from the get-go, with us introduced to her family for a split second before starting her job as a tour guide to Rosas, while Charlotte's first scene is as a child in her father's mansion with her friend and her mom (as her father is her "best customer" for ordering custom dresses). First impressions are everything, and both leave VERY different impressions: Charlotte is depicted as a spoiled child while Asha is a young woman who's kind and outgoing. However, while this makes Asha SOUND better, it in reality shows how shallow her characterization is: her qualities are indistinguishable from other Disney women, particularly ones of recent films. Meanwhile, Charlotte's flaws are presented first, showing that she's used to getting what she wants as a rich white girl in the Southern United States (Asha's own culture isn't really explored; it isn't a requirement, but her grandfather at the very least is older than Magnifico, and where he comes from and her mother's North African heritage isn't featured, either). Even her brief interactions with her father offer more than Asha's with her mother and grandfather, showing how much Big Daddy has enabled her. I would've enjoyed more situations into Asha's family life and how they influence her (especially since her dad is a huge influence on her but he's mentioned, like, only a handful of times), as well as her being less cookie-cutter. Her personality doesn't help her stand out from Moana, Anna, Mirabel, or Rapunzel, at least not positively.

Ideally, Charlotte's spoiled behavior would've been a neat personality trait for Asha. Disney's tinkered around with a female lead with significant flaws, ie Raya and Judy having prejudice against certain ethnicities/races, but it's not something the characters fully embody, with their positive traits shining through until the climax when their perspective on their journey changes. Making Asha someone who's spoiled and expects her wish to be granted (perhaps because she's a tour guide and in her mind, brings a lot of positive press to an already magical country) sets her up in a unique space for a Disney protagonist, having gotten what she wanted from her family (maybe they were poor before Rosas and spoiled Asha when they arrived) and often told that if anyone deserves their wish to be granted, it's her. This is a sharp contrast from the film, where Asha's goals are altruistic and wants her grandfather's wish to be granted. Asha being self-centered would also explain why she has seven "friends" who feel very underused; she sees them as only important when they're around her, and since she likes the focus on herself, she often doesn't like to be part of a big group. Making her a Kuzco figure to where she actually doesn't realize how harmful she is also gives some likeability to her, since marketing a hero who's deliberately cruel and says "and what?!" would probably not be the best at being marketed, even if she changes. It'd also give rise to why she thinks she should be Magnifico's apprentice; her fame, greed, and self-centered personality makes her entitled to the role, to which the wizard-king rebuffs, as well as rejecting to grant her wish, either because it's vague, dangerous, or she's undeserving, setting up the conflict.

2. Their flaws--Asha isn't written with any, tbh. She tells Magnifico that she "cares too much," but aside from coming off as disingenuous whenever someone says it about themselves, there's no time in the film where her caring about someone so much ends up hurting her or anyone else (well, you can argue it does, but it's not acknowledged as being her fault or something she needs to work on). Charlotte, on the other hand, is seen as a work in progress. For most of the film, she's depicted as a young woman who means well, but is often blinded by her own life and making her ignorant to other people's problems, ie helping clean Tiana up after her restaurant plans go under, but failing to ask why she was upset. Tiana was her friend, but her happiness was a bonus for Charlotte rather than a requirement (maybe not all the time, but a lot), and it isn't until she sees that Tiana is in love that she's willing to give it up. Honestly, it's slightly surprising; while Charlotte isn't completely selfish, she doesn't go through a journey of self-reflection where she realizes she hasn't always been an emotionally present friend for Tiana, and it's actually her innocence and daydreaming of fairy tales and love that convinces her to help Tiana, showing that her positive traits (that some may have labeled additional flaws) helped her come to a fair conclusion.

Connecting to part 1, Asha being selfish gives her a significant flaw that affects her journey and how she interacts with others. Charlotte likes to socialize, and her father's finances allow her to live in ignorant bliss to what goes on around her. She can be demanding and rash, wanting what she wants WHEN she wants it, and the shallowness makes her easy to manipulate in Dr. Facilier's (and Lawrence's) plan. Making Asha a selfish dream-chaser could have her undervalue her friends; perhaps she took advantage of Dahlia's connections and used them to get access to the castle and an interview with Magnifico (assuming her being hired as a tour guide was done informally; still confused about that). Perhaps she grants an evil wish, or her dream of getting her wish summons an innocent star that helps give her her wish, not realizing the consequences of either actions. It's a "what could possibly go wrong?" situation driven by tunnel vision. Seeing how she hurt others and how it causes them to resent her--and even make Asha resent herself--changes her mind to how she sees things, even remembering her time with her family and how when her father died and her family showered her with gifts and attention, she sought out power to fill the void she developed at her father's death.

3. Their inspiration--In TPATF, Charlotte's mindset isn't just driven by her riches, but her romanticism of fairy tales. She dreams of finding a prince, becoming a princess, and living happily ever after. She equates the fantasy with her future reality, and believes that Naveen's handsomeness and exoticness is just like princes in her storybooks, which isn't surprising, since the USA hasn't been tied to a monarchy in centuries and thus conflates them with other fantasy aspects rather than practical aspects. Since Naveen is popular in the tabloids (but apparently his lack of resources is a recent development, as knowledge of it not to be widely known), Charlotte has probably seen the life he lives and wants a life like that of her own. Asha, on the other hand, has her dreams motivated by her father, who is unnamed and seen once in a brief flashback during "This Wish" and mentioned only a couple times. Meanwhile, her mother and paternal grandfather, like her, are archetypes, providing support to her until she challenges the king. However, when the king himself reveals his nature, they support her. They don't have any specific characterization outside of her grandfather's wish to make a song to inspire the next generation (which IS super vague, to Magnifico's point, and kinda cheating in an artistic sense), and Asha's mom's own wish is never stated. They feel very flat and cheap; they could've easily been replaced by Asha's friend group.

In my opinion, I feel like the perfect idea for a Disney anniversary movie is to make Asha either love or despise fairy tales, and while it may scream "I'm not like other protagonists" at first, I'd go with the latter. Asha being someone who doesn't care for fairy tales and considers them misleading (seemingly because they make achieving a fairy tale ending sound easier than it is, but in actuality she's concerned that her actions and words are more equated with a fairy tale villain) but comes to love and appreciate them encapsulates the Disney company's message of having dreams. Charlotte's love for fairy tales helps her overcome her own selfishness in order to support her friend, and Asha realizing how powerful dreams are and that wishes carry a lot of weight (and you know, actions have consequences that you can't always avoid) would be a nice celebration of Disney's legacy.

This ended up being longer than I thought, but tell me what you think! I was also gonna use Nakoma from "Pocahontas" for the discussion (essentially making it a "What a rejected Disney princess could've learned from Disney princess' best friends" essay), but she and Charlotte are so distnct that I didn't wanna go off on two different tangents when talking about how Asha could've been written--but a sarcastic girl who likes to avoid trouble but likes to have fun still works.

Hi could I please request something from Disney mirrorverse , how would Yandere rivals go between Gaston vs Aladdin with a darling who came from our world if not maybe the darling can create clones made out of water ? 🌸

Yes! I'd love to write for these two :) I used to have Aladdin on my team until I got five star Raya-

Also, after writing this, I actually really like writing Mirrorverse! Gaston now. I hope you liked this as much as I did writing it :)

Yandere! Mirrorverse! Gaston vs Aladdin with Darling from the real world

Pairing: Romantic - Rivalry

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Kidnapping, Murder, Rivalry, Violence, Manipulation, Stalking, Obsession, Jealousy, Possessive behavior, Protective behavior, Aladdin and Belle act like pals to you, Forced relationship.

Let me talk a little about them individually to understand their characters.

Gaston is an expert marksman and tracker.

He is very self absorbed with his appearance and loves to hunt down beasts.

He's strong and thinks he could easily win over his darling with his impressive looks and strength.

He hunts down his darling like he does his prey, never stopping until you're his.

If he wants something, he gets it.

If he can't have you... no one can.

Aladdin is stealthy and takes on an assassin-like role in his combat.

He works well in the shadows and would watch his darling from afar.

Enhanced with enchanted weaponry, he is fast and agile.

A hunter in his own right, honestly.

Out of this rivalry, Aladdin would want to protect his darling from Gaston.

Meanwhile, Gaston wants to exterminate Aladdin like the dessert rodent he is.

That's a very general explanation on how they'd react.

Now, what would happen if their darling was from the real world?

Perhaps in your version of the game you had them both on your team.

They aren't really all that self-aware so their obsession doesn't happen until they meet you.

In a magic spell gone wrong you're sent into a world of fantasy.

That's when they meet you.

Aladdin probably met you first.

Fractured are terrifying foes, like a hero he swoops in and saves you.

It's sometime after this Gaston meets you.

Normally he'd hunt down Belle, then he meets you.

Oh... he has a new obsession to hunt.

Gaston acts very beastly in this universe, even more so the longer he tries to win you over.

You'll feel overwhelmed by Gaston almost immediately.

He's flirting with you and doing everything to impress this new person.

He stops the moment Aladdin comes up from behind you, telling you not to worry about him.

"He's always like this. Usually with Belle, though."

Gaston feels rage boil in him but keeps his cool.

Great... the street rat found you.

When you're asked of your origin and lack of powers, that's when you say you're not from here.

Aladdin is considerate, listening intently and curiously.

Not from here? He wonders why you were thrown here....

Gaston tries to use the fact you're confused and powerless to justify his behavior.

Poor thing... you need someone to help you, yeah?

Why don't you let him help you out? He's strong and could protect you better than this rat can.

Aladdin finds this desperate behavior of Gaston exhausting.

Aladdin wants to help you with no ulterior motive.

Sure... you do look nice and he doesn't mind the way his heart flutters-

But he should be prioritizing your safety.

The fact you're vulnerable in this land sets them both off.

Gaston wants to protect and impress you.

Aladdin wants to just protect you not only from fractured, but from Gaston.

For good reason, too.

Rejection makes Gaston go insane.

Aladdin's obsession mostly starts due to him protecting you from Gaston's madness.

Gaston definitely sees you as a second Belle.

Belle herself even fears for your safety at times.

The fact Gaston can't have you makes him a monster.

Gaston may even treat capturing your heart like hunting a beast.

Think of it... Gaston may even use bear traps or just animal traps in general to capture you.

You're about as weak as a cute rabbit to him anyways.

Aladdin is aware of this, this is even more intense than he was with Belle.

Aladdin may even consult Belle on ways to help you in case Gaston decides to really hurt you.

Out of the two, Aladdin is definitely the less intense one.

He'd never hurt you unlike Gaston.

Your time in the Mirrorverse quickly becomes a game of keep away.

Aladdin is trying to hide you in the shadows with him, slowly falling for you while he tries to protect you.

Gaston is trying to hunt down and capture you from Aladdin to force you to love him.

Even though harm may come to you in the process.

Safe to say Gaston would kidnap and murder for you.

He'd prevent you from getting home, he'd prevent you from seeing anyone, and he'd be sure to drive an arrow through Aladdin's heart for keeping you from him.

Aladdin wouldn't kidnap or entirely kill, but he would try to manipulate you into staying and defend you.

Once Gaston leaves you be he thinks you'll enjoy yourself here.

He can show you the ropes! You'll be able to be a guardian in your own way!

But for now... the two are at each other's throat.

Just watch your step, you aren't safe in this land of corruption.

Redoing a couple aspects of the OUAT au bc if I make them to the college route here it’s gonna be too similar to the criminal minds au so I am making some tweaks. Also a refresher is nice:

The girls are married before the curse bc it’s what they deserve

Also newly weds. I’m talking they were married for like a month before Rumplestiltskin ruined lives

They’re like 25 so definitely older

Everyone else is significantly older as well since it’s 7 years after the Druun disappeared

Raya works with Belle’s father in the flower shop because she gives off the vibe that she has a green thumb to me. Also helps that Belle’s father hated Rumplestiltskin so that’s just even more reason to to lump them together

Belle’s father already owns the shop so Mr. Gold can’t intrude there

It totally pisses Mr. Gold off that Raya managed to find one of the only places, if not the only place he doesn’t own in StoryBrooke and works there. He’ll still bug Raya about rent and all that when she delivers flowers or helps set up decorations for events but he can’t actually go in the shop

I haven’t completely decided what Namaari does yet but I stand by the fact that she’s rich girl that’s low key out of touch LOL

Whatever her job is, it’s gonna be one where fancy social functions are hosted on the regular, and guess what a social function needs for decoration?

FLOWERS!!!

Namaari just likes supporting local businesses! (And antagonizing the pretty florist)

Whenever Namaari actually walks into the shop Raya hides and makes someone else help

Usually Namaari will buy so many flowers to be sent so Raya has no choice but to help deliver them

Constant cat and mouse game between them

Raya was super good at keeping her interactions with Namaari to a minimum until the the clock started ticking again

Henry keeps trying to set them up LMAO

Raya still baby sits Noi since she’s only like 9 here

Boun works at the flower shop part time he’s 17 he’s gotta hustle

Tong is an event coordinator that works with Namaari a lot so he also works with Raya pretty frequently. In fact, he’s usually the person Raya talks to so that she can avoid Namaari

Poor Benja is still in a coma 😔

Other than that, pretty sure everything stays the same as when I originally thought of it

I’ve been going through fake modern names to give them and so far Raya is Roxanne that goes by Roxy, Namaari is Nadia (did not come up with that myself), Sisu is Suki, and I’ve got nothing else tbh

I realize some of these names aren’t the best and don’t exactly align with SEA origins but I’m awful at coming up with names. Plus I feel like it’s helpful to give them names that are similar to the real ones

Raya and Roxy are two syllables and start with R, Namaari and Nadia have three syllables and start with N, I’m doing my level best 😭

If anyone has alternate name suggestion feel free to let me know gang

It’s hard wanting to write every single au imaginable

#raya and the last dragon #rayaari #namaari #raya x namaari #namaari x raya #ratld #raya and namaari #ratld namaari #raya disney #ratld raya

Jaskier and his Snuggly Wuggly Killing Machines Part 4

Jaskier woke up far too early. He woke up just as the sun started to grace the sky. He yawned and laid awake in his bed thinking about what the day would hold. His babies coming home. Maybe he could whip up something that they could eat right when they got home. Jaskier rolled out of his bed and threw his legs over the edge. He sat and looked down at his bare feet, he was only wearing a pair of old baggy basketball shorts.

‘Maybe the babes want some too… Maybe they’d like some fruit when they arrive? A good healthy snack…’ Jaskier thought to himself as he made his way downstairs to the kitchen. He quickly ran through his routine, teeth, hair, stretch, coffee. He stood in his kitchen for a moment. The sun’s warm orange rays flowing through the french doors that opened up to the patio.

After a moment to finish his cup of coffee the star decided that he might as well make a nice big bowl of cut fruit for the babies when they arrive. He was going to cut some up anyway for his oatmeal. He still had… three hours before he should even leave. So he stood and dug through his fridge pulling out this and that until he had a few bowls full of… just about every fruit he had. Cantaloupe, pomegranate, banana, strawberry, blueberries, grapes, blackberries, watermelon, and a few others. He knew he should keep some away from others so he had four bowls.

Jaskier ate his own breakfast and thought about what the boys will think of the house- their home. Maybe they won’t like it… Maybe they won’t like living with hi- Dumbass they already love you. Fucking idiot.

Jaskier cut his own anxious thought off. The witchers already liked him.

Soon enough Jaskier was showered, blow dried, and dressed. One hour. Jaskier tried to get everything perfect. Each bed had a set of nice clean clothes set on top of the blankets, underwear, pajama pants, shirt, cozy oversized sweater. In the bathroom sat three perfectly coordinated caddy baskets and fluffy clean bath sheets, ready for when the boys come home for their first baths. In the fridge sat four bowls of nice healthy sweet snacks. Jaskier even thought about what movie they could watch. Maybe something classic like Alice in Wonderland or The Little Mermaid or or maybe Mary Poppins! Maybe something newer like Toy Story or Raya and The Last Dragon or (one of Jaskier’s favorites) Frozen. He could ask the boys what kind of movie they would like.

Finally the time rolled around. Time to go get his babies. Jaskier tried not to run to his soon to be packed Lexus but he really couldn’t help but half skip his way to the garage. He couldn’t wipe the wide grin from his face if he tried. That smiled didn’t falter a single time as he hastily made his way to the center. He skipped through the sliding doors and all the way up to the front desk where an older woman whom he’d never seen before sat.

“Hello dear! It’s so nice to see someone so young so happy this early in the morning! How can I help you, son?” The elder woman asked as she smiled brightly up at Jaskier. Jaskier popped his elbows up on the counter and rested his head on his fists that were straight up in the air.

“Oh I’m here to pick up my babies! I’ve never been happier in my life! Three wee witchers should be ready to be picked up by moi, Julian Alfred Pankratz. I have their papers, receipt for the fees, and I should be getting a full medical mock up.” Jaskier said and pulled out the papers. The lady smiled and nodded as she typed on the computer. She read for a moment before giving Jaskier the kindest smile. It was so much more real than the consumer service one she was using before.

“You’re adopting Lambert and his brothers I see… They’re waiting for you in the back, I’ll have them brought out. It’s nice to finally see someone taking those poor little ones home. They’ve been here for a long time. Getting adopted by someone just to be given back for eating too much or not putting out . Now I don’t know you but just by lookin at cha.... I think you’re a good fit.” The lady said once she pressed a red intercom button at the desk announcing Jaskier’s arrival. Jaskier smiled back at her and nodded.

“Yeah they’ve mentioned that they’ve been… passed around from pound to rescue to center a few times. I have no plan whatsoever to ever rid myself of them. I actually already got them snacks and a bath prepared back at our home. I’m quite ex-” Jaskier was cut off my three sets of arms wrapping around him and the thundering sound of them running toward him.

“Oh babies! Come on, come on! Why don’t I hear… oh.” Jaskier was happy as can be but he didn’t hear anything. No happy noises or yips and he felt no kisses or licks. He pulled back and looked at his boys. Muzzles. Hateful leather contraptions that wrap around their heads and under their chins holding a piece of metal covered leather over their mouths.

Each boy a brief huff of air through their nose. Lambert looked like he’d been crying but happily bumped his head against Jaskier’s shoulders. Jaskier stared at their strapped up faces with sadness and disgust. How could you do something like this to such sweet babes… Geralt also bumped against Jaskier’s chest and then Eskel tried to nuzzle but the metal mouth bit blocked most of it.

“Come now pets. We’re leaving.” Jaskier said and looked back at the man who had escorted the boys out. He had a KetchAll stick and what looked like football guards on his arms and legs. Ridiculous. He swears if they hurt his babies on their last day there he would-

There was a loud whimpering all around him. He was holding tight on Geralt and Lamberts hands and Eskel was holding onto Geralt’s hand. Jaskier loosened his grip and looked back at the witchers. They all had tears running down their faces and as soon as Jaskier had eyes on him they all started to thrash their heads and claw at the muzzles.

“Okay, okay. We’re getting them off. Sh, sh, sh. Hold still baby. Hold still.” Jaskier said as he raced to his car and get the babies inside. He opened the back doors for Lambert and Geralt and popped the lock on the front on so Eskel could get in. They were all still whimpering. He had to get behind Geralt and unlock the three point clasp. Once Geralt got it off he threw it away from the car.

“They put those on us! We didn’t bite! We didn’t bite! They put them on last night! They’re bad, get ‘em off keep ‘em off!” Geralt sobbed and rubbed his face. Jaskier closed that door and hurried to Lambert.

Jaskier quickly pinched the clasp open and Lambert kicked the covering away and hugged Jaskier’s middle. “Don’t put it back, please.”

“I won’t baby. No more crying. You will never have another one of those horrendous things ever strapped to you ever again. Never ever, my honey sweet witchers. You’re too pretty to cover those lovely faces.” Jaskier told them as he finally got Eskel’s off. The oldest witcher took the straps and pulled on them so hard he looked as if he may pull a muscle before throwing it onto the ground with the others.

“Thank you! Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou” Eskel said and rubbed his face all over Jaskier’s tummy as the singer rubbed his back.

“Sh, sh, sh, now witchers. Shush and dry your tears. It’s time to go home.” Jaskier said and immediately heard whoops and Geralt’s weird little happy noise. Maybe it was chattering or something like that. Didn’t matter anyway because all it was was Geralt’s happy noise.

“Going home! Going home! We’re going home Bear! Esk, Esk, Esk, We’re going home!” Lambert said happily and Jaskier could hear him purring. Jaskier started his almost overly full car and pulled away. Geralt’s happy noise, Lambert’s purring, and Eskel’s high whines never ended as they drove. Once they all seemed calmed down and they were only a few minutes from the house Jaskier spoke to them.

“I didn’t know if you would be hungry or too excited to eat but I went ahead and cut up a bunch of fruit and put a bunch of berries in a few bowls in the fridge so once we get there I’ll show you everything from the garage to the kitchen, you can eat a snack, and then I’ll show you the rest. Alright with that?” Jaskier asked at the smiling faces around him.

“Yes! I’m so hungry! I like fruit. Fruit is sweet and smells good.” Lambert stated and smiled and looked at Geralt. Eskel growled a bit and then-

“Love fruit! I like anything that’s not nasty baby food or yogurt! Fruit is my favorite!” Eskel said happily and Jaskier could see him wagging his tail even though it was trapped between him and the console.

“I like sweet stuff like fruit! I like grapes! I like umm jelly made out of the black berries! Yes jelly is my favorite!” Geralt said and the other two agreed. They were only a turn and a little bit from the house.

“Well I’m sure I have some jelly. Maybe after we get a nice bath and dinner we can have jelly on toast for dessert or a night snack before you brush your teeth. Now let me show you how to open the doors.” Jaskier said as he pulled up into the garage.

“Grass!”

“Dirt!”

“Can we be on the grass?” Lambert, Geralt, and Eskel say as they pass the nice green grassy yard before pulling into the garage. Jaskier laughed but it’s kinda sad. Those people had them locked away in that concrete and Kevlar padded room for so long without letting them outside…

“Yes darlings. But how about you go roll around some and then come back. You’ll love the backyard more than in front.” Jaskier says and then whistles shortly to get them to pay attention to his how-to on car doors.

All the boys crowded up to watch Jaskier pull the handle forward and then push open the door. Jaskier made sure to remind them to be gentle.

Geralt was the first one out and he ran toward the green lovely perfect grass. Next was Eskel and he joined his brother diving into the grass and rolling around, mouths open.

“Dadd- Jaskier! I can’t get it open… I’m sorry.” Lambert whined. Jaskier gasped a bit. He knew they would decide on a title eventually. He supposed daddy was okay. He did call them his babies. Jaskier popped open his door and opened up Lambert’s. The pet started to run and roll and laugh wonderfully with his brothers.

The three of them were quite the scene. The three of them, easy six hundred pounds all together, rolling and digging their hands into the earth and laughing boisterously. Their plain white shirts were now slightly green but Jaskier just watched and laughed and laughed. This was perfect. Perfect.

“Babies! Come back up here, you rascally little things!” Jaskier called which caused all three to run and race to where he stood on the front steps of his home- their home.

“Our house is big!” Geralt said as he looked up at the second floor windows, little did he know. Those were their windows. Their windows were all road facing.

“Yes it is! Big enough for me and three big chunky pets. Now I have the three pets, time to add the chunky part.” Jaskier said more to himself than the three as he unlocked the door. He wanted to wait a bit before telling the babes the passcode. Just to be safe.

The three behind him were wagging and their ears sat high and happy on the tops of their perfect heads. Jaskier opened the door and since the boys didn’t get shoes, he just said “wipe your feet” on the door mat as he slipped his sneakers off.

The boys all wiped their feet and walked through the small hallway into the main part of the house. They were all mouths open wide in awe. There was a big sparkly chandelier and grey wood floors and then the big staircase and the kitchen was so… full. Jaskier watched them all just kind of stay together and look around. They just looked and were quiet until Lambert spotted the doors that led to the backyard.

“WOAH!! Lookie! Lookie!” Lambert said as he raced to the doors and looked through the glass at the large backyard, the pool that was covered, and the small flower garden that encircled the porch.

The other two ran over and ‘ woah’ ed and ‘oh my gods’ ed. Then they all looked back at Jaskier and ran over and yep. Yep that’s not kissing. That is just licking. From Jaskier’s neck up to his forehead, to his hands and hair. They were all making the happiest little noises and their wagging tails were causing a gust of wind around his feet.

“Oh I love you too, my babies. Oh come on, too much. I might die of love overdose!” Jaskier said and giggled. Soon they calmed a bit and started to kiss and nuzzle. Lambert was the first one to hug him and rub his face in Jaskier’s neck.

“Iloveyoudaddy.” He said quickly and quietly. Eskel gasped and backed away and Geralt stared like Lambert had just said something terrible. Jaskier petted down his back and cooed lightly.

“I love you too, my sweet little kitty cat. What a sweet baby.” Jaskier said and kissed Lambert’s head. Geralt krept a bit closer and watched Jaskier be tender to their baby brother.

“I-I love you too...daddy. If that’s okay?” Geralt said and looked at Jaskier’s pretty eyes. He looked… young. Timid. Like a precious baby. Jaskier reached out one arm and brought Geralt to his side and let him nuzzle his neck.

“I love you too, my precious white wolf. My little bear.” Jaskier said and watched the stress, anxiety, and tension drop from Geralt’s poor shoulders. Jaskier smiled and rubbed their backs. He then looked over at Eskel who looked scared. He looked like was either going to run away or start cryi- he started crying and ran to Jaskier and wrapped his arms around him and his brothers.

“I love you too daddy! I love you too!” Eskel said, stuttering and saying through a river of tears and snot.

“Oh my wolf, my doll, my baby, I love you too. I love you all so much. Now let’s dry up the tears. You don't need to see daddy become a big blubbering mess right now. It’s a happy time! Now let’s get some snacks, hm?” Jaskier said and pulled away and just looked at his babies and took his sleeve and wiped Eskel’s face. They looked new, young, relaxed, like it all melted away. They all nodded and Jaskier made his way to the fridge and pulled it open. When he turned back the babes were all sitting crisscross on the floor.

“Silly babies come and sit at the counters. Hop up on the stools.” Jaskier said as he placed the four bowls up on the counter and watched the boys’ eyes get big and hungry and they each licked their lips. Jaskier got a few forks and spoons but when he turned around the witchers already had their hands in the bowls shoving the soft and sweet fruit into their mouths. They moaned from how good it was. So much food. So much food just for them. Jaskier giggled a bit as he watched. They were getting juice all over their faces.

Jaskier reached a fork over to pluck a piece of watermelon from one of the bowls and that caused the three to look up at him and watch him eat. Jaskier stood there and looked them right back in the eyes.

“What?” Jaskier said and smiled. Lambert and Eskel went back to eating. Who knew a man would share a bowl with… a pet. Nonetheless a witcher.

Geralt kept staring at him with big beautiful yellow eyes. They were like ambers in the sun, twinkling brightly.

“Daddy, you’re pretty when you eat. You should have more.” Geralt finally said and pushed the bowl he was just scarfing down toward the man. Lambert nodded and pushed the two bowls he had. Eskel shoved his bowl along with Lambert’s. Jaskier held his hand over his heart and opened his mouth in a big “ Aw ”

“Oh sweet babies, you can eat up. This is for you! I’ll have something later. I had a nice breakfast this morning. I just thought that piece looked nice. Eat up now so we can go have a nice bath. I still need to show you around.” Jaskier said and pushed the bowls back.

Each pup started to eat again and soon enough the bowls were empty. Each babe had a big smile on his face and their tails slowly swayed and their ears were relaxed and droopy. Jaskier tossed the bowls and his fork into the sink. Jaskier thought they were so adorable and came around behind them and hugged them two at a time and kissed their cheeks.

“You three are going to be so amazing to cuddle.” Jaskier said and the boys giggled and purred. A wonderful low rumble filled the air.

“Up, up. You gotta get familiar with your house.” Jaskier said and all three stood up. Jaskier told them what each room was. Office, bathrooms (which got used by all three and Jaskier learned that all three had fantastic hygiene. Washing hands and wiping.), recording studio (which you should NOT enter unless you are with daddy), laundry room.

Then Jaskier brought them up the stairs...

[ medalion rahimi, she/her, cisfemale ] — was that SORAYA DAVANI? The TWENTY SIX year old is the LADY, how exciting to see them this season! rumors have it they are CUNNING and TALENTED, but i’ve heard they are JUDGMENTAL and DECEITFUL as well — maybe that’s why they’ve been called the PRODIGY. I have even heard that SHE MAY HAVE HAD A HAND IN HER TWIN BROTHER’S SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCE — only time will tell.

THREADS | MIRROR | MUSINGS | WC | PINTEREST

🫖 BASICS

nicknames — sora, raya

mbti — entj

zodiac — libra

sexuality — pansexual

d.o.b — october 20th

🫖 FAMILY

father : reza davani

mother : indira davani

siblings : armin davani ( younger twin // missing )

🫖 STORY

there’s not much to say about soraya’s background. mother and father joined in a mutually beneficial marriage and while there was never true love between them, there was respect and perhaps most importantly, there was MONEY. the davani’s have never been very active in social circles, usually preferring for everyone to associate them with their abundant wealth rather than their personality or achievements.

there’s nothing a stupid amount of coin can't fix — that's the attitude they implemented on their children, with the youngest of the two armin, being the most receptive to it. soraya on the other hand, always knew the importance of participating in such events. being rich is nice and all, but having allies matters just as much.

soraya was born five minutes before her brother armin was. it’s not a big difference but it was clear that she was the older of the two by how she always seemed to follow closely behind her younger sibling‘s trail of destruction, patching up whatever she could along the way.

an ongoing joke between the family was that soraya was brought to this world to clean up after armin’s messes. a joke that absolutely infuriated her, mind you. she hated how it always feel onto her to get armin out of every spat and scandal he found himself or risk their family's reputation.

it was no secret among noble society that soraya was much better suited to be the head of the household. she was the older one, the one who handled all the finances, the one who knew how to navigate through social circles. but alas, customs are customs and it didn’t matter how intelligent or how talented soraya was – she wasn’t a man and therefore could never be the head of the family. until…

🫖 RUMOR HAS IT

the night before armin’s disappearance it is reported that he had approached his sister to beg for her assistance on a grave matter, one that seemed to have him on edge, but soraya had refused to help him. the result was a nasty argument between the two siblings before armin stormed out of the house. that was a couple of months ago and armin has yet to show up again.

nobody is uncouth enough to say it outright, but it is awfully convenient that armin’s disappearance means that soraya is now the sole heir of her family’s fortune. so did she have a hand in his disappearance? maybe, but not a direct one. soraya has no idea what actually happened to her brother, just that he had gotten mixed with some unsavory sorts.

🫖 PERSONALITY

to noble society, soraya is nothing sort of enchanting. an intelligent girl, easy to get along with and even easier to pity after the poor tragedy her family is going through.

a master at making people feel good. knows when to stroke an ego and when to uplift an insecurity.

soraya portrays herself to be kind, charitable, and an all around lovely woman.

that isn’t to say that she is above twisting the truth or planting rumors to get what she wants though. she’s just real tactical and lowkey about it.

ambition is the key word for her. angelica schuyler vc: never satisfied

the important thing to note about soraya is that she wants you to like her. firmly believes that a woman’s best asset is her allies.

🫖 PLOTS

chamomile — a confidant, someone who soraya can trust. maybe someone who has darker connections and can help soraya find out what happened with her brother,

earl gray — on the flip side, someone who was closer to armin than soraya and who believes soraya was responsible for armin’s disappearance. even if they can’t prove it, there’s a clear disdain between the two.

chai — a courtship gone wrong! maybe the courtship ended after her brother’s disappearance. more than happy to make soraya the bad guy lol but we can totally plot something out

jasmine — girl gang! besties who go to museums together! and have afternoon tea parties! and gossip!

hibiscus — a lady or a maid who she may be especially close to. her best friend if you know what i mean 😏

IN SUMMARY : charismatic and rich, soraya has been given everything in life except for her family’s respect. now officially the sole heir, her goal is to mend her family’s reputation after her missing brother almost burned it to the ground. all the while still trying to find out what exactly happened to him.

inspired by ➔ blair waldorf ( gossip girl ), margaery tyrell ( game of thrones ), shiv roy ( sucession ) , tahani al-jamil ( the good place ), lady macbeth ( macbeth )

COULD YOU IMAGINE THE HATE STEDDIES WOULD GET FOR BRINGING UP THAT SOME HELLCHEERS CALL THEM ‘STDS’!!!! But it’s okay for them to do it?!? Their double standards is insane. How about if someone asked him his opinion on Ash getting harassed by HER stans cause he ain’t Joe? You don’t do shit like that. There’s a time and a place and a panel ain’t one? And before them lot wanna attack and call me misogynistic I feel the same about people trauma dumping the poor guy in front of loads of people. DO IT SEPARATELY!

what makes me laugh is that Joe will probs forget that he even answered that but they’ll CLING ONTO IT!

sorry but if they’ll use that as VQ proof then they need fucking help! That is a man sticking up for a friend. A colleague. He’d do it for his other female friends. I’m sorry but he didn’t and has never bought it up on his own. He literally had to get asked for him to speak out. That’s hardly a romantic gesture. He said that there’s good people and there’s bad people on the internet he didn’t say that ‘quinnies’ are gross!? Which A LOT of THEM are saying. He’s not gonna say that when he’s got ‘quinnies’ in that panel hall. They need to get psychological help if they spin that into proof seriously I’m sick and tired of them! Bestofjq has it in writing what he said and NONE of what he said sounded like a boyfriend sticking up for his girlfriend! It sounded like a friend sticking up for a friend. He was literally on Raya the other night? But sure he’s sticking up for his gf grace. They. Need. Help.

I'm honestly so tired of them I'm not even looking forward for cons anymore.

Every fucking time they have to ruin it

The correct answer is "Jesse gets stuck in a room filled with self replicating cake and almost dies"!

Explanations for the others:

In The Foundation DLC, the Astral Plane ends up replacing an entire bathroom which you can navigate. You even get a trophy after Jesse makes her terrible pun!

This one is end game spoilers so I won't reveal exactly what happens but it is one of the best moments in gaming ever.

Yup, this is the in-universe explanation for Havana Syndrome! It really was the work of a vibrating cowboy boot!

Surprise! Hideo Kojima makes a cameo in some PS4 Special Edition exclusive content where Jesse enters two sensory deprivation tanks and goes on a vision quest guided by Dr. Yoshimi Tokui, voiced by Kojima himself. Yes it is just as weird as you would expect. Yes, there is a Death Stranding easter egg.

At one point in the game Jesse needs to get through The Ashtray Maze, which she can't normally do because the item needed to get through it is lost. Luckily, Ahti the Janitor comes in to help by giving us his casette player, allowing us to play one of the greatest segments in a video game of all time.

Raya Underhill does in fact exist. Some say she's still in the pit studying Mold to this day.

Once again, end game spoilers out of context! This may sound very mundane but I promise it is not.

There is a fridge that needs to have someone watching it at all times or it goes on a rampage, which will also kill the person that last looked at it if they look away. Said fridge was then made even more violent by a combination of an ongoing enemy force called The Hiss and an alien creature known simply as FORMER. Alas, poor Philip, we hardly knew him.

An NPC called Langston is literally only alive because he went to get crisps/chips from another part of The Oldest House, avoiding a monster breaking free and massacring everyone in the Investigations Sector.

Thanks for playing everyone who voted!

laundry list of actual complaints i have about elden ring so far:

it's a pc game released in 2022 locked at 60fps with occasional stutters that seem to be able to smell fear and will manifest exactly at the worst possible time to get you killed. i have a 3070 and ryzen 7, i should not be struggling with this

occasional but noticeable glitches. the worst one ive encountered so far is with Renna (the boss of Raya Lucaria). her first phase is supposed to have her levitating above a bunch of trash mobs in a yellow bubble, with one of the trash mobs singing to keep the bubble intact (indicated by them singing and having a yellow aura). she's totally invincible while levitating and you need to kill 3 of the singing mobs in a row to bring her down and make her vulnerable. sometimes, though, when you enter the boss arena, Renna's bubble just... isn't there. and neither are the singing mobs. i think you can still hit her with ranged damage but for all practical purposes the fight is unwinnable like this and the correct response is to instantly quit out and rejoin, which sucks if you summoned help already. also this happens to people fighting her for the first time who don't know it's a glitch and they waste half an hour trying to figure it out

also the glitch where you can set yourself on fire while holding a Shotel of Death and the mere act of rolling near someone in PVP will literally instakill them from full health in under 5 seconds while you stay invincible, that's fun

my friend has accidentally permanently locked himself out of Ranni's questline somehow even though online guides say he should be eligible for it and he isn't the only one

using hard souls golden runes from the item menu is such a fucking hassle. you have to look at how many runes you currently have, calculate how many more you need to afford the thing you want, look at what golden runes you have on hand, try and fail to remember how much each tier is worth, crush what you think is the appropriate amount (which requires selecting Use Selected instead of the default Use), then come up 30 runes short because you weren't paying attention to the last 2 digits. you can kind of sidestep this by pressing R3 in your inventory, which gives you the "compact" view and also stops the menu from closing between golden rune uses, but then that introduces the issue where you can't actually see how many runes you have total as you crush the items. just let us spend golden runes directly at shops or something, please.

also comparing your own armor to armor in a shop requires taking a picture with your phone. this is what the salty Horizon Forbidden West devs were talking about when they said the UX sucks

Festering Bloody Fingers (invasion item) getting used up even when you fail to find an invasion target feels really fucking bad. this is more of a minor gripe than anything because anyone deadass about invasions is going to get the infinitely reusable version anyways, but like, come on

when i pick up a new item i sometimes don't know where to find it in my inventory. is that deer skull i just picked up a helmet? no, okay, is it a fist weapon? no, okay, is it a key item? nope haha wrong it's in the first tab of your inventory halfway down next to the mimic veil, get fucked. just add a button to the pickup notification prompt that automatically opens your inventory to the item's description page

the map is kind of low-rez when zoomed in, does a poor job of conveying some vertical cliff faces, and occasionally straight up lies about the positions/existence of roads. i get that some/all of that is intended, but god damn is it obnoxious sometimes

horse platforming oh my fucking god. whoever at Fromsoft decided to make platforming sections that require a double jump and then tied said double jump to a horse that steers with all the fine precision of a blimp is the real masochist there, not whoever keeps sneaking in new variants of Poison status effects. oh im sorry, did you land on the right platform but facing the wrong direction? nope, no 180 degree turn for you, fall off the platform for even thinking you could pull that shit, do not pass Go, do not collect $200, good DAY to you sir

to be clear, i still think that even with all of these issues, this is very clearly game of the year and possibly game of the decade. i just don't want people thinking im some diehard fanboy incapable of seeing the game's flaws

#feel free to add on yourself

(Needed some goofy fluff to distract myself from the angst im writing so buckle up, its long. Based on that one post I cannot find so if anyone can help a homie out, much appreciated)

Raya/Namaari Accidental Marriage Proposal

Its not a far stretch to assume that the different tribes have different practices and rituals. And given the 500 year gap in communication its also easy enough to assume that the tribes don't know about each others differing customs.

For example: marriage proposals. In Tail its as cut-and-dry as asking. Talon people propose with rings and jade coin. When you propose in Spine you chop down a tree to show your commitment and strength.

The Fang propose with blades. Fang people love their knives, daggers, spears, and other pointy weapons, so if you want to ask someone to marry you, you do it with a blade.

I like to imagine it'd be because offering a blade to someone- who isn't family -is the equivalent of trusting your life to that person. I like to think the Fang value not only a person's strength and honour, but their ability to care and protect their people. So giving a blade to your chosen love is like saying, "I'm giving you this weapon because I trust you with my heart, literally and metaphorically".

But again, 500 year old divide means others have no clue what giving a knife to someone from Fang entails...

So maybe its been a few months or so after the Druun have been vanquished. Raya is still re-learning how to be a 'princess' while playing liaison between the tribes, with Sisu as her partner in crime. She likes it because she still gets to travel and she gets to see her new friends from the other tribes: Boun's business is booming, Noi has started talking, and Tong has become the new Chief of Spine.

Then there's Namaari.

Six years of playing cat-and-mouse together (or rather angry kitten and homeless puppy) can be hard to overcome. At first it was a struggle. And incredibly awkward. Namaari, too guilt ridden over what she'd done, and Raya, still angry and socially stunted, could barely hold a conversation together.

Eventually Raya, fed up with the weird awkward talk, dragged Namaari to Fang's training grounds and challenged her to a sparring match. And only when it was over, the both of them exhausted and laying on the ground, did they start talking, actually talking. About what happened with the gem, with Sisu, what they can't let go of, not yet, but what they hope they can move past one day.

It made things after easier because it was familiar ground for them, but it also opened up new paths too. Now in the months since they saved the world and having spent that time working together, Raya would like to consider Namaari a close friend.

Which is probably why she's so surprised when Namaari off-handedly mentions her birthday is next week. Namaari, who's less than thrilled about her mother's plans for a big celebration, doesn't even notice how much Raya's caught off guard. Namaari doesn't really care for her birthday, much less when her mother makes a big deal about it, but she still brushes her hair behind her ear when she asks Raya if she's going to attend.

Raya recovers, nudging Namaari saying that she's obviously going, and boasting about the amazing gift she's going to bring.

Which then leads to her dragging Sisu to Talon in search of the perfect gift (Sisu being the only 'person' she knows who can help being that she's a master gift giver... Sisu's words, not Raya's, but still). They run around Talon for ages, with Sisu practically buying everything in sight (with the Heart Palace Credit of course) but Raya can't find a single thing she thinks Namaari would actually like.

And then she spots a Fang vendor selling blades.

The woman is nice and she asks Raya if she's looking for something in particular. Raya says she wants to get a dagger for 'someone special' from Fang (not wanting to rack up the price if the woman knew who it was for, but also completely unaware to what she's just implied).

The vendor seems a little surprised but she easily walks Raya through picking out the perfect dagger for her 'someone special'. Raya ends up buying a pretty, yet functional dagger with a dragon engraved in the blade and an ornate box to keep it in. As Raya's leaving the woman gives her a pat on the shoulder and says, "All the best for the both of you and I'm sure she'll say yes," which Raya can't really make sense of so she shrugs and leaves to go find Sisu and her mountain of trinkets.

So now its the party, and when Namaari said Virana was making a big deal about it, she really meant it. People from all the tribes are attending and Sisu's brought her brothers and sisters and there's music and food and fireworks...

And Namaari stands beside her mother in a beautiful dress that makes Raya's heart thud erratically (it's totally platonic). Her and her Ba walk up to them and start making small talk before her Ba and Virana break off to chat with other dignitaries, leaving Raya and Namaari together.

Raya likes how Namaari relaxes around her when its just them, despite the room full of people. They talk and banter and tease and laugh, but more than anything Raya just likes being with Namaari. And when Namaari mentions how much she hates formal wear, how dresses don't suit her, Raya makes it a game to see how many times she can mention how beautiful Namaari looks while they're talking, just because it makes Namaari flush and do the hair thing she does when she's shy. No other heart-related reason.

Its not until much later when Raya suddenly remembers the gift she brought and she runs off to fetch it. When she returns she hands Namaari the sleek box with a smile and a sheepish "Happy Birthday dep'la".

And Namaari's blushing and smiling as she takes the box, telling Raya she didn't have to as she opens the box-

And immediately slams it shut. Her face turns bright red and she whorls on Raya with wide eyes and a panicked, hissed "whatareyoudoing?!" And poor Raya's totally thrown, so sure she'd picked out the perfect gift. "You don't like it?" But Namaari shoves the box back into her hands, with another frenzied whisper "thatsnotit!"

Well now Raya's a little miffed because "You didn't even look at it" and before Namaari can stop her she's pulling the dagger from the box and offering it back to Namaari.

Meanwhile the room goes incredibly quiet as everyone from Fang suddenly notices what's happening between the princesses. Virana nearly spits out her drink. Everyone else carries on like normal, but a few people watch their new Fang friends with curious looks, completely out of the loop.

So now Raya's essentially down on one knee without realizing it, Namaari's about to have a heart attack, everyone from Fang is on the edge of their seat, and the dragons are having a rousing drinking contest with people from Spine.

So the party is going great.

Raya (oblivious to the world save for Namaari) is giving Namaari her strongest puppy dog eyes because she'd spent so long looking for the perfect gift dep'la, and "You're pretty special Namaari, special to me, and you deserve it."

Namaari, as red faced as she is, softens at Raya's admission, smiling a little to herself before she takes the dagger from Raya with a soft "it's lovely dep'la".

And suddenly the room's loud again as people from Fang start clapping and whistling. Everyone else is lost but soon they join in as well, despite having no clue as to what they're cheering for. Namaari's back to being flustered and she grabs Raya's hand and hauls her toward Virana and Benja. Raya, finally taking in the room around them, is confused as to why people are congratulating her and Namaari.

Virana has recovered by the time the two approach and if no one knew better it might've also appeared she was trying hard not to smile. Namaari hisses something to her mother Raya doesn't hear, and she shoots her Ba a questioning look. Benja looks a little pensive but he's got a quirk in his lips that Raya knows means mischief.

Virana gently pats her daughter's shoulder before turning to address the room, excusing the four of them. They turn to leave but not before Virana calls out to the crowd, "And it goes without saying you're all invited to the wedding as well," and then ushers her horrified daughter, her baffled betrothed, and Benja out the door.

Instantly Namaari's in hysterics, asking her mother why she'd say that when Raya obviously didn't know what she was doing. Virana, quite obviously playing ignorance, asks why Namaari accepted the blade if she knew what she was doing. And poor Namaari can only gape, red faced and no come back.

Raya has finally caught on to what she's done and yeah, okay now it all makes sense. The vendor, Namaari's (gay) panic, the congratulations... she just proposed to Namaari. She just proposed to Namaari. In front of most of Kumandra. Oh toi!

Benja, still smirking to himself, ruffles Raya's hair before turning to Namaari and Virana and saying, "To be fair... Namaari did propose first."

Marriage proposals in Heart are an exchange of necklaces. So when Namaari had given Raya the Sisu pendant back when they were kids, they'd essentially gotten engaged and since Raya kept it, they've technically been engaged for the past six years.

(Too) Long story short, Raya and Namaari get engaged, get married, fall in love, and live sapphically ever after.

End.

(Okay, I'm done. Back to angst.)

Margit x reader 4

[Which has a surprisingly low amount of Margit in it. Picture it like the filler episode that just furthers the lore. Kinda have my own head cannons about the relationship between some of the royal siblings here. :p]

There were many things in your life that you would call bad decisions; the choice to come to Raya Lucaria was certainly one of them. It seemed peaceful at first, but the almost dream-like state of the place soon turned to a nightmare when you got to the famed academe itself. It was those sorcerers. You could go a very long time before you saw another sorcerer in your life. You thought that you had finally gotten a break from them when you went to go face off with that giant wolf in the lecture hall; it was a wolf with a sword in its mouth, how were you supposed to know that it was a magic user as well? That is, other than the fact that it was lodged in the accursed, magic riddled place. At this point you had no doubt that this Queen Rennala was also a magic user. Even that ended up being a surprise as, even though she did indeed use magic in many varieties, you didn’t expect a bunch of smaller versions of her biting at your feet while you were trying to fight her. “Ankle-bitters.” You chuckled to yourself after the whole affair was done. Seeing as you had to fight Rennala multiple times, you were more than a bit frustrated with them by the time you finally bested her; you now had a better understanding, and you dare say, appreciation, for how Margit must have felt when he was fighting you. Something else that you were surprised to see was that after you had bested Queen Rennala, she was quite cordial, even offering help to you if you wished.

“Pray, forgive me, Sweeting.” She hummed as she cradled the large egg that never left her hold. While it did seem like she was talking to it because that is where her sight fell instead of on you, there was still something in her tone that let you know her words were in fact addressed to you. “It has been so long since I have seen a new face, I have quite forgotten how to talk to others beside those that have been closed in here with me.” She sat there and lulled the thing in her arms for sometime, forgetting that you were there entirely; not in an insulting way, but related to what she had just told you that she wasn’t accustomed to even seeing new people much less interacting with them. When she realized what she was doing, she spoke once more. “I ask thy forgiveness once more, Tarnished. It has been said that I have my eccentricities, even before I hid myself away.” There was another brief pause as she pondered something that seemed to pain her, tears gathering at the corners of her eyes. “That was before she…” It was at this point that she started to actually weep silently. Rennala just had a sad gentleness about her, so that even though you had been in battle with her not but a few days ago and knew her power, you couldn’t help but want to comfort her.

You placed a hand on one of hers, her response was to place her other hand on top of yours as a way to show that she appreciated the gesture. “I am sorry if I did anything that made you think of something unpleasant.” You offered after a moment when she had continued to weep. “No, do not worry thyself, Sweeting. What plagues me now has been what has plagued me for many years. A wrong that was done to me by someone that I once called mother. But, I will worry thee not with my own troubles.” You gave some thought before responding. “Don’t talk of anything painful if you do not wish to, but I am welcome to talk to someone that has no intention to fight me. It has been some time since I’ve had that pleasure.” Rennala opened her eyes once more, and looked at you directly this time. “As it has been for me, dear Tarnished.” She sighed, gathered herself, and started to speak once more. “I supposed I should explain at least a bit to thee, as it would be in poor manners to hint at a tragedy and not fully expound on it.” You wanted to tell her it wasn’t, but there was also something in the back of your mind that told you she wanted to get whatever this was out of her mind; not to mention that your own curiosity had gotten the better of you. “There was a time that I was married. I loved him so, and thought he requited these feelings. The truth of the matter was that he was simply using me… Using me to find a way to be Elden Lord.” Tears sprung up once more. “I thought, surely , surely, Mother wouldn’t stand for it. That she would reject him and cast him out. But, no…”

Once again Rennala burst into tears. “It caught everyone off their guard, especially Father. She had wronged us. She had wronged all of us.” There was genuine hurt in her voice that you could only hardly fathom. You came from a somewhat small family, and now you were thankful for that; not that these sort of things were usual for most large ones. “We should have seen this coming. She had acted as such before. And, yet, we refused to accept that she had selfish motives. Even after how she treated the twins.” This caught your attention. While there were plenty of people that knew much more of what had happened before the shattering, you were sure something of this sort would at least be rumored at. “The twins?” You asked aloud, more so to yourself, but she heard you as well. “Not my half-sisters. I refer to my brothers. Poor things.” Rennala cradled the egg close for comfort. “They could not help their state, and we were wrong in our treatment of them. How she told us to treat them.” She softly caressed the thing in her arms. “Poor Mohg. Poor Morgott.” She looked at you once more. “If perhaps you find news of my kindred on your many travels, would you tell it me? For so long I have locked myself away, that I know nothing of their current states.” You smiled. “Of course. I’ll let you know what I find next time I return.” You weren’t going to tell her about Godrick, especially with the state that she was in.

There were many questions swarming your head now. You didn’t have the heart to pry any further into Rennala fragile state, so you were going to have to find some of your answers elsewhere. Seeing as she mentioned the name Morgott, perhaps it was time for you to return to Atlas Plateau. After all you did have two Great Runes now, and you would be able to get into the Capitol. Not that going face to face with the king of said Capitol was a wise idea, but there had to be something somewhere in the place that told you something. I wasn’t like someone could be the king there for what could possibly be hundreds of years and there would be no information about them. The only thing that you worried about was getting stopped by a certain Omen that you knew to be on Atlas Plateau. There wasn’t a fight with him the last time you met, but the last time had been… strange. “It seems it is thy turn to be lost in thought, Sweeting.”Rennala hummed after you had been quiet for some time. “What fills thy mind, Tarnished.” You couldn’t help but laugh, “Of all things, someone that threw me into a river thrice in one day.” This made a rare smile grace her features. “And, after I was attacked by creatures that shot some black mist onto me too. It was quite the eventful day.” She gave you a knowing look, “While I cannot say for the second and third times, if the substance thou speak of was the mist of death, thy friend was almost certainly making sure there was no residue. The plague of death can linger if not removed quickly.”

It had never occurred to you that Margit was rinsing you off in that river. Why would you? The man had sworn to show you no mercy in any capacity, and yet that day he had shown it in droves. It was easy enough to buy that he wasn’t going to fight you, but saving you twice over? Now, you were hoping to run into him at the Capitol, to ask him some questions about himself. And, yet, at the same time, you hoped that you wouldn’t have to deal with whatever it was that you were feeling about him right now. You told yourself that you were confusing your feelings, when the truth was that you were too stubborn to admit what those feelings were.

the princess of the sea

-> royalty!au iida tenya x fem!reader

this is the literal bane of my existence. here you go, part 1 of my iida royalty au fic. very loosely inspired by raya and the last dragon and genshin impact, but you can barely tell.

IF THE KEEP READING THINGIE DOESNT WORK PLS TELL ME!! ++ there is a paragraph that gets repeated. im sorry, but every time i fix it, it happens somewhere else. idk what to do at this point. sobbing.

warnings: language. also its long and ends on a cliff hanger oops

word count: 4.8k words

check out my masterlist for more of my works!!

the sound of your heels hitting the shiny floors bounced off of the walls nonstop as you ran. you were a princess, one that was late to the ball being held to celebrate the alliance of four nations that had fought against one another for over a century. as you round the corner towards the banquet hall’s doors, you make eye contact with a tall, blue haired, handsome man- and then fall flat on your face.

it wasn’t often countries came together to make amends after hundreds of years of wars, attacks, and disagreements- yet here you are, making a fool of yourself in front of the prince of lupusvine, the northernmost nation. you rush to pick yourself up, muttering a quick “damn it, y/n,” whilst fluffing your dress back up to its once cloud-like form.

“are you alright? it’s y/n, no?” the man you had seen before now much closer, offering his hand out to greet you.

quick history lesson- the planet was named xenos centuries ago, by four gods. what their names were is hard to decipher; by the time humans were capable of writing and recording history, the gods had many names. there were more countries on the planet, but the most important (to you) were the four nations that were named and ruled by the four main gods, all sharing borders. ruritania, ruled by the goddess of nature, has the perfect climate for farming, raising livestock, and taking trips from the other nations. it was considered a utopia for those who liked peaceful, cottage living.

lupusvine, ruled by the god of wind, was cold. the citizens tend to be either extremely wealthy, or dead, really, as being homeless in the brutal cold would be a slow and painful death. they tend to be strict and uptight, and worship their god’s every word. ambrosia, ruled by the god of fire, on the other hand, was scorching hot most of the time. it was mostly desert, and ambrosians tend to be strong, rough, aggressive towards outsiders, yet loving towards their families.

lastly, oceania, ruled by the goddess of water. oceania, being the nation you were soon to rule, was perfect, like ruritania, hot in the summers and cold in the winters, but not unbearably so. it was the wealthiest nation, not because the rich keep getting richer, but because the nation helps and nurtures those who are struggling. it was seen as a sort of idyllic place, and because of that, the other countries often envied oceania.

one last, probably important bit, before you remember the prince of lupusvine is waiting for you to give him your hand- hybrids are common in xenos. which is why, as you stare at the prince, flustered, you barely notice the wolf ears on his head.

“it…it is y/n, correct?” he hesitates.

“oh, yes! i'm very sorry!” you put your hand in his, greeting him. “you must be tenya, prince of lupusvine!” you attempt to compose yourself while the wolf man before you reaches up to adjust your small crown as he breathes out a soft “yes.”

you blush due to how close he is and he apologizes. “sorry, but i'm sure that with the rush you were in, you wouldn’t have had the time to notice your crown was barely hanging onto your head for dear life.” he chuckles and as your eyes meet once again you freeze- you never knew why people were so wrapped up in rumors and gossip, but you had heard one a while back… that the prince of lupisvine’s eyes were as cold as ice, like the land he came from.

while whispers of his frightening gaze and sharp features may be based in truth, his eyes soaking in yours made you feel as if you were melting- the warm, relaxing smile he had contrasting his straight posture and tense shoulders.

“if you’d like, we could enter the ball together” his voice pulled you out of your trance, and as he awaited your answer you thought of all of the consequences entering together would have. your mother and sister’s worry turning into squealing, eager to have you marry the poor man was one. your father upset that you had never mentioned someone was courting you (which the prince was not doing) while he was searching for suitors was another consequence.

oh, and most importantly of all- what you two walking in together, arms linked, would do to the political state of the four nations. you were the precious princess of the sea! you were oceania’s lovely, pure heir to the throne; if anyone were to lay a hand on you they’d be dead before they could take another breath! little did they know that you had a tendency to be anything but elegant, with a foul mouth and two left feet.

and prince of lupusvine- well he… he was perfect. a respectable gentleman who gives his all to his nation, who works to make their nation a better place. the other three countries may whisper and mock; thinking him a serious, scary soon-to-be king with a devotion to law and order, but he was a far more gentle and loving prince than that. everyone in lupusvine was aware of the truth, and you, placing your hand on his arm, now also knew the truth.

“yes, i would, in fact, like that very much.” you flash him your charming smile that everyone in oceania was in love with and enter the hall together.

the consequences you had thought up in your mind paled in comparison to the reactions of everyone as you two enter. shocked expressions, gasps, and even what sounded like a glass shattering filled the room as you make your entrance and walk down the stairs. hushed tones greet you at the bottom, and as you and tenya part ways, you are greeted by the royal family of oceania- your mother, father, and sister.

“you do realize what that looks like, right?” your sister, isla, barked at you. she had a knack for showing her care and love in the worst ways possible, but you knew her words weren’t meant to instigate some sort of argument.

“no, i don't, actually.” you shrug, before your father gently grabs you by the arms

“the prince of lupusvine is no husband for my daughter, i will not allow it until i know more about that boy and what he might be scheming”

“scheming? oh for the love of our goddess, dad, i'm not going to marry him! we simply entered together” you shake his hands off of you.

your mother cut in with a huff, worsening your family’s freak out. “with how late the both of you were it looked like some sort of… surprise marriage announcement!” often, when your mother becomes flustered, or worried, her extensive, fancy vocabulary is thrown out the window.

“its like you were telling all of xenos ‘hey, look at me put my hand on this big strong rich prince oh also remember how we’re both looking for other royal families to marry into, mostly for political reasons?’” your sister rambles on, mocking your manner of speaking.

“oh, whatever, it’s not really like it matters. the four nations are allies now anyways, what’s the issue, even if i were to be seeing him?” all three of your overprotective family members scoff and walk away, clearly getting the message that their worries wont get through to you. spotting the prince again, you make your way over to him before frantically attempting to walk away as the crowd parts for you only to reveal his very serious and scary family having a discussion with him. instead of walking away towards your sister, you turn and smash face first into- actually, you don’t even realize you just walked into the prince of ambrosia, todoroki shoto, until you look up at him.

“oh my goddess, i'm so sorry” you bow at him deeply, and his father tells you not to worry about it as they continue walking towards the royal family of lupusvine. while the four nations all had their issues with each other, lupusvine and ambrosia have made deals with one another before, and oceania and ruritania were on decent terms. as king enji spoke with the king of lupusvine, shoto gave you a quick wave, before standing next to tenya rather than his father.

you’ve already just about had enough with the party when you decide it’s better for everyone if you were to just leave. you leave the ball and head to lucerne’s garden, a small garden and pond built right into the center of the castle, named after a dragon (which have all since vanished from xenos) the goddess kept as a companion. sitting at the edge of the pond, you’re lost in thought as a hand touches your shoulder.

“it’s nice to see you again, princess.” tenya’s voice just barely over a whisper as he sits next to you.

“no, you’ll get your suit dirty-” you start, before he shakes his head.

“perhaps, but the servants in your castle seem to be extraordinary at their job- i don't think i saw even a drop of water on the ground as i sat down.” he laughs, continuing to look around at the spotless scenery, none of the plants having even a speck of brown, and not one part of the ground dusty or dirty.

“well well well, and here i thought mr. prince of lupusvine was supposed to be a stickler for rules! i’d expect a ‘no sitting on the ground with your gown on!’ from you.” you smirk, messing with decorations sewn onto your dress.

“I may be a little uptight, but i don’t quite think there's a rule for sitting on the ground with a dress on..” you laugh as he trails off in thought. “is that lucerne? companion of kirai?” he asks, pointing at the statue of a dragon looming over the pond.

citizens of lupusvine tend to refer to the goddess of water as “kirai”, due to their god calling her that every time he mentioned her, as recorded on slabs from ancient times. that, along with other reasons, is why many researchers and history professors believe that the goddess of water and the god of wind were in a romantic relationship, whether permanently or just for a certain period of time. you nod and face him as he continues “i wish dragons still existed. i learned, when i was younger, that dragons went extinct due to humans.”

your eyes widen, flickering towards the statue of lucerne. “because of us?”

“yes.” he whispers, before the two of you fall into comfortable silence. soon, footsteps can be heard behind the two of you. turning around to see who is coming, you see todoroki shoto, prince of ambrosia, as well as the princess of ruritania, uraraka ochako.

“thank goodness we saw you out here! our parents are so professional and uptight at these things, it's almost suffocating.” ochako gasps the fresh air in, sitting next to you as shoto sits at a nearby bench.

“i dont get why they hate each other so much.” shoto muttered under his breath and everyone let out sighs and nods. while all of you knew the history behind the nations’ feuds and didn’t quite know each other, you four could easily bond over your general disdain for the grudges your families had towards each other.

suddenly, you picked yourself up from the ground and stared at the other three determinedly. “we should find out what happened to lucerne and the dragons! it would be so fu-”

“we already know what happened to the dragons.” shoto cuts you off

“well then what is it?” you huff, annoyed that you were cut off.

as shoto shrugged, tenya started telling the story. “the four gods gave a box each to the inhabitants of xenos and told them to not open them, even if they’re curious about what’s inside.”

“oh no, they opened the boxes” you gasp, shaking your head.

“yes, they opened the boxes. the first three boxes they opened had beautiful things we couldn't even begin to imagine the world without, so, without thinking, they opened the last box. a puff of smoke came out the box upon opening it, and then every dragon on xenos turned to stone. there’s no cure, no answers, no reason as to why the gods would do that, especially when the dragons were so loved by the humans and gods alike.”

“how cliche” shoto sighs.

“do you think the dragons can hear us?” ochako gets up, trying to get closer to touch lucerne. “lucerne, do you think i should marry izuku midoriya, from ylvern, or bakugo katsuki from angria?”

todoroki scoffs, and you note the jealous glint in his eyes. “lucerne’s not gonna come back to life to answer which royal family you should marry into” he gets up, ready to head back inside.

“speaking of marriage…. tenya, y/n, what was that entrance~?” ochako skips back to your side, crouching down.

“nothing, we just met before walking inside and decided to enter together; it's simply none of your concern” you ramble on, refusing to face either tenya or ochako, opting to stare at a lily pad floating on the water.

“oh really?” ochako squints, before getting up. “if you say so, y/n”

“yes i do say so” you nod violently, ochako humming as she walks towards shoto to walk back inside together. exchanging quiet ‘see you later’s, they leave you and tenya alone again.

“would it really be a bad idea for us to get married?” his words making you choke on air. “not like that! it was just a question!!” he flails his arms around, the two of you so very flustered.

you both collect yourself and you think for a bit before answering “i think our parents are probably just suspicious of each other, still. i mean if you think about it, you could say we’re already fated to be” you half joke, expecting more arm flailing, only to receive a hum.

“ah, you mean the theory that kirai and the god of wind were lovers?” he tilts his head.

“some even say they were married, not just lovers, tenya. what, are you suggesting we be lovers?�� you joke.

another round of arm flailing passes as you laugh, before he clarifies “you know what i meant, don't act a fool. i personally believe it too, there’s plenty of evidence for it.”

you nod, agreeing with him “that, and because citizens of oceania often think i look like our goddess, and your citizens say your personality matches your god. wouldn’t you say we’re- a- match?” with each pause in between your last words you get just a bit closer before pulling away, laughing once more at his flailing arms and beet red cheeks, finding your new favorite hobby.

one last moment of silence passes as you both stare at the clock in the garden, waiting until it hit 10 to join the others back inside for a speech from the nations’ kings and queens. you stole peeks at his face, your eyes quick to flicker elsewhere when they make contact with his. a minute before it was time for the speeches you two got up and walked together, checking each other for any specks of dirt (there weren’t any, head maid marina would never allow such a thing).

you stop right before the doors, facing him with a smile on your face. “after you, mr. prince, we can't go in together after the entrance we made before.” you motion towards the door and he steps closer to you, waiting. “wha- oh” you realize what he was waiting for and nod, expecting a kiss on the cheek. what he really did, was give you a light peck on the lips, before turning away and returning to the ball.

“your majesty, if i may, i don't believe that’s an appropriate way to say goodbye to someone.” head maid marina places a hand on her hip, a clipboard tucked in between her arm and the side of her waist. she tapped her foot expectantly, brows raised as you stutter, attempting to find the right words.

“please dont tell my mom!!” you blurt, and run into the banquet hall.

“you kissed prince tenya!?” the servants in the dining room all come to a halt, turning to your family, that was supposed to be having dinner.

“ugh maid marina told you!” you put your face into your hands as your sister stifles a laugh and shrinks in her chair.

your father looks like he might explode as he yells “you WHAT?”

“to be fair!! he kissed meee~” you gushed at the thought.

“how is that supposed to make me feel at ease?!” your father stands up.

“dad sit down and eat your unseasoned roasted potatoes-” you pause to raise your voice loud enough for those in the kitchen to hear, “if head maid marina wasn’t busy gossiping about my love life maybe the potatoes would’ve come out properly seasoned!” your words earned you a light whack with a handful of napkins from said maid. “and what if i choose to marry tenya? i assure you he is up to nothing but good.”

your father shook his head. “how can i be sure of that, darling?”

“cause i really like him!! pleaaaaaaase?” you beg, putting your hands together as you give him your best puppy dog eyes. your father was visibly crushed by your strategy before he straightened up and cleared his throat.

“well, if you insist, i suppose i could send the iida family an invitation to a dinner, where we can discuss this matter more in detail.”

“this is becoming more and more like an arranged marriage by the second-” you whine.

the following days were rather uneventful; helping out maid marina as an apology for offending her potatoes, polishing the statue of lucerne (which you’ve found out is essentially lucerne’s corpse) for maid veronica since you let ochako get close to it, and reading up more on xenos’ history. eventually, the day to have dinner with the iida family came and you dreaded it, as your mother told maid marina to find and dress you in a ‘lovely, light blue dress with intricate detailing’ days beforehand.

“and just why do you like prince tenya, of all princes? why not prince shoto?” with every ‘why’ that left marina’s mouth, she pulled on your corset, tightening it.

“for the love of our holy goddess please maid marina please show me mercy” you plead.

“i did show you mercy, when i made extra of your favorite side dish because the main dish of this evening is the royal jade carp, which i know you hate with every fiber of your being” you whine at her rebuttal (and another tug at the corset) before she finally ties it off at the end.

“done. let maid veronica finish getting you ready while i finish the preparations. your future husband should be here soon.” she smooths out her uniform before leaving the room.

“this feels like an arranged marriage, y/n.” veronica sighs, readjusting your hair.

“it wasn’t supposed to be” you groan and attempt to slouch, the corset compressing your insides not allowing you to.

“well, you both seem to like each other, so at least you’ll be marrying someone you might actually grow to love” veronica shrugged, tying a bow on your dress.

“you know, you’re right, vero! it isn’t all that bad, considering some people don't have that luxury.” you smile at your new found confidence.

“oh goddess, like that poor queen of ambrosia. i heard her marriage to king enji turned sour such a long time ago yet they stayed together for political reasons, you know?”

you gasped at veronica’s words “is veronica gossiping on the job?”

veronica smacks her lips annoyed. “its small talk, young lady, not gossiping.”

you quickly made your way down the stairs and towards the dining hall before tenya and his family arrived. your sister, isla, stood at the doors, surprised to see you so dressed up. “this is a dinner to possibly discuss a marriage, not the wedding day itself” she chuckles, leading you to your seat and sitting down in front of you. “i, myself have found someone to talk to as well.”

“oh really?” you raise your eyebrows, amused.

she nods, smiling “a prince named mirio to-” the doors open and the two of you stand up to greet the iida family, led to the dining room by your parents.

“its nice to see you again” tenya greeted you with a kiss to your hand as the rest of your families mingled. you all ate, discussed feelings over the nations becoming allies and you and tenya’s plans for the future.

“wanna see something?” you grab tenya’s hand after the dinner ended, the rest of your family deciding to continue to chat away as you showed tenya around the castle.

you lead him to your room, and as he starts to stutter, telling you “perhaps this step can wait? a bit?” you shake your head.

“that’s not why i’m bringing you in here, but i like the way you’re thinkin” you tease, before stopping in front of a tank.

“is that an axolotl?” tenya gasps, his free hand gently pressing against the glass.

“yes, that’s pudding.” you nod, before leading him over to another tank. “and this is noodle, she’s an oceanian black kingsnake.”

“you like snakes?” he questioned you.

“not really, but when i found her in lucerne’s garden she was in pretty bad condition. she took a liking to me so i just toughed it out and took her in.” you shrug, before leading him to your bed.

once again objecting to any dirty things you’d try to do to him, you stop him. “first of all, i wouldn't do anything you aren't comfortable with, and second, that's not why i brought you here, okay? now this little man right here is nugget!” you lift one of the many blankets on your bed to reveal a tiny, black poodle with long legs. “and thiiiiis,” you move to another side of your bed “is pepper!” a white cat’s face peeks out of the blankets it's piled under, reaching a paw out to greet the prince before returning to its sleep hole.

“i didn't expect you to be such an animal lover.” he says on your walk back to the dining hall.

“it isn’t really that i'm an animal lover, the axolotl was a gift from an organization that keeps endangered animals safe after i made a large donation. the other three were strays that the maids found in lucerne’s garden. something about the lucerne draws animals to her.” you shrug, pondering what might be the reason animals were often found in the garden. Something that you had noticed before but never fully paid attention to was the way tenya’s tail wagged when you two were alone. during both the ball and dinner his tail was stiff and straight, as if he was making an active effort to not draw attention to it. it was nice to know that he didn’t care much about little things like that alone with you.

it was still a bit frustrating how quickly your families wanted you two to get to know each other and get married. while dating for civilians can last many years before even mentioning marriage, sometimes royals have all their wedding preparations read before their first meeting.

“at least we enjoy each others’ presence.” tenya’s words cut through your cluttered mind.

“what?” you blurt, and he laughs softly.

“at least we like each other, you know? we could’ve been forced to marry snooty, arrogant people. instead we get to be somewhat forcefully married to each other.”

“it’s almost like you can read my mind” you suggest jokingly, before leading him to sit down for more quiet time together. “it sucks that we’re being rushed into things, but we can go at our own pace, even if we may be wife and husband while we’re still just going on our first few dates.” he nods at your words with a smile, sighing before getting up, with his hand in yours, to head back inside the dining room.

“you’re getting married to the prince of angria? oh poor thing” various princesses reacted to ochako’s words, wishing her luck on her marriage to bakugo katsuki, another prince.

“it's not all that bad!” she reasoned with them, only for them to disagree.

“not all that bad? the boy’s got anger issues and will probably be a terrible ruler! oh sweet girl he’s going to ruin you, and not in the good way.” some random princess teases. you were currently at a tea party being held in ruritania, by the princess, ochako. you noticed the way her shoulders lowered at their words, each time they insulted him only making her more upset.

“you never know, perhaps he’s actually nice if you get to know him. besides, it isn't our place to judge, seeing as most of us have rather terrible fiancées as well.” you comment, drinking your tea. you notice the smile growing on ochako’s face, a small, silent thank you for sticking up for her.

“of course you’d know about terrible fiancées, soon-to-be mrs. tenya iida” the fiancée of prince sero (oh, poor poor sero) laughs out.

“and i'm sure prince sero knows a lot about terrible fiancées as well.” you insult back.

“did you see the face she made after you said that?!” ochako giggled as you two were walking to her room. the tea party finished rather quickly after your response to princess ophelia’s insult had her running out in rage.

“that’s what she gets. i mean come on, she’s one to talk about me having a terrible fiancée when she is a terrible fiancée” you shrug, the grin on your face slowly forming as you hold in a laugh. “i can’t believe you and bakugo are getting married though! i thought that your parents would surely choose midoriya of ylvern!”

“well, ylvern’s nice n all, and i'm sure midoriya’s absolutely wonderful-” there was the tiniest bit of yearning in her voice when speaking of the prince. “-but angria has more resources. its a better choice in almost every aspect except for the fact that it’s bakugo katsuki that i'm marrying.” she realized what she said and shook her head quickly “no, i'm going to be optimistic! i know everything will turn out fine, and my marriage to him will end up being a better idea.”

“you sound like you’re trying to convince yourself, ‘chako.” you sit on her bed and watch as her cheeks grow redder and redder

“no! i’m! not! don’t do that y/n!” she pouts “i was one hundred percent supportive when you announced you’d marry tenya!”

“and i'm thankful for that-” you raise your hands up in your defense.

“so don't tease me about my marriage!” you laugh, patting her shoulder

“okay, okay, relax!” huffing, you and ochako continue to talk the night away; about marriage, wedding preparations, and anything else you two could think of.

as the days go by, you see more of tenya, each time falling in love with him more and more. you also see ochako more, meeting her fiancée bakugo, and more of todoroki, who’s been spending much of his time rejecting princesses and enjoying the presence of the prince of ylvern, midoriya. one of the worst days was the day your mothers dress was modified to your size and changed to be more modern, head maid marina threatening to poke you as she sewed if you didn't stop slouching. the worst day, however, was the day maid veronica, maid marina, and maid yalani sat with you and talked about what would happen on your wedding night (goddess have mercy on your soul, they thought you didn’t know a thing about sex).

but, as preparations went on, and as you spent time with tenya, you couldn’t be happier. he caught you whenever you fell, which happened many times while learning dances, and he laughed with you whenever everyone else found you unladylike, like when you spit out food while trying to figure out what would be served to the guests, not realizing what you had tasted was made with your least favorite food, royal jade carp. he was traditional, strict, yet had a soft side to him that took you step by step through everything, never failing to whisper compliments in your ear or reassure you that you’re doing great.

everything was perfect, every effort made filled with love and pure intentions, every moment nothing less than a beautiful experience, until the night before the wedding, when everything took a sharp turn for the worst.

Raya and Namaari's Victory Celebration (Part 1 of 2)

This is my fifth entry in the Rayaari series. After the Druun were defeated and Kumandra was unified, Raya and Namaari have decided to have a victory celebration as she, Namaari and Atitaya invite the other kingdoms in Kumandra such as Spine, Talon, and Tail. Enjoy. And don't forget to like and reblog. Also, this takes place after Raya pet the serlots.

*Raya rides on Tuk Tuk, Namaari rides on Buwan, General Atitaya and General Wahn ride on ride on their other two serlots as they travel to Tail with Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba*

Raya: Well, this is the place. Let's bring the Tail Chief back to life.

General Atitaya: Sounds good, Princess Raya.

Raya: Stay here, Tuk Tuk. We'll be right back. Shouldn't take too long.

*Raya, Namaari, General Atitaya, General Wahn, Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba enter the kingdom as they find the Tail Chief's skeleton*

Sisu: Here it is. The Tail Chief's skeleton.

Raya: So that's how she died from starving.

General Wahn: That's right, Princess Raya. And that was a long time ago. You have the gem, right?

Raya: Yes. It's reassembled.

General Wahn: Oh. That's good.

Raya: Ready?

Pengu: I'm ready.

Raya: Be careful, don't break her skeleton.

*Pengu places the Tail Chief's skeleton carefully to the ground*

Sisu: All right. Let's bring her back to life.

*Sisu and her siblings recite in Filipino as they bring the Tail Chief back to life. Afterwards, the Tail Chief floats down to the ground and opens her eyes as she looks around*

Tail Chief: Whoa. Where am I?

Raya: You're in Tail.

Tail Chief: Who are you?

Raya: Perhaps you don't remember me. I'm Raya.

Tail Chief: Of course you're Raya. I'm the Tail Chief. *shakes hands with Raya* By the way, why did you all bring me back to life?

Raya: Because we had to so you died from not eating lots of food.

Tail Chief: Of course I did. I would've been completely hungry. Almighty dragons. *bows to the dragons*

Raya: Jagan, the Tail Chief's hungry.

Jagan: Of course. Here, have skewers of meat.

Tail Chief: Yes! Finally!

*Tail Chief eats skewers of meat*

Tail Chief: Oh, it tastes good that I haven't eaten in years. *swallows and belches* Excuse me. So, what can I do for you, Raya?

Raya: We're having a victory celebration tonight and you're properly invited. What do you say?

Tail Chief: Hmm. That sounds like a brilliant idea, but okay. I'll take that as a yes.

Raya: She said yes.

Pranee: Oh, that's wonderful. Now, let's go to Spine and see if their chief still lives here.

Raya: Do you know where the Spine Chief lives?

Tail Chief: Spine, I think.

Raya: Then let's go.

Amba: Let me help you, Tail Chief.

*Raya, Namaari, General Atitaya, General Wahn, Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee, Amba and the Tail Chief exit the kingdom. Raya and the Tail Chief hop on Tuk Tuk, Namaari hops on Buwan, General Wahn and General Atitaya hop on other two serlots. They ride to Spine with the Dragons. At Spine, the guards see Raya and her friends approach as they open the gate. They have arrived and hop off their animals. The gem glows as Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba hold the gem and turn into humans*

Pengu: Wait, is there something wrong with my skin? *gasps* Oh, my goodness. We're humans! Hey, Raya! We're humans like ourselves! And look how close our butts are! *Raya stifles her laughter* Oh. I know it's funny, but it's true.

Raya: Okay, first of all, I'm not trying to be humorous, but that's how Sisu said.

Sisu: Really? Oh, that's right. Anyway, can we just get the Spine Chief?

Raya: Oh, right, of course.

*Raya enters the throne room*

Raya: Hello, people of Spine. Raya of Heart has just arrived. And I'm looking for the Spine Chief.

Spine Guard: No problem. Chief! There's someone who wishes to meet you!

*Spine Chief walks to Raya*

Spine Chief: Wow. Raya. Welcome. *hugs and pats Raya* I was afraid you might never come back with the Dragon Gem.

Raya: Hello, Spine Chief. I was hoping that you'd be invited to the victory celebration.

Spine Chief: Of course. I'd love to visit the celebration and I love parties.

Raya: Come, there's someone I'd love to show you. Oh, Boun, Noi, Ongis and Tong are in Heart.

Spine Chief: Oh, man. That's fantastic, Raya.

Raya: Thanks, man. *Spine Chief chuckles* Come.

Spine Chief: Right behind you, Princess Raya. Hey, I'm sorry Dang Hai and I broke the Gem six years ago.

Raya: It's all right. I accept your apology.

*Raya and the Spine Chief exit the throne room as Spine Chief sees her friends*

Spine Chief: Almighty dragons. *bows to them*

Sisu: Wow. Greetings, Spine Chief.

Spine Chief: So, where should we head to?

Raya: To Talon.

Sisu: All right.

Spine Chief: Talon it is.

*Raya and Spine Chief hop on Tuk Tuk, Namaari and Tail Chief hop on Buwan, General Atitaya and General Wahn hop on the other two serlots. They ride to Talon as Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba turn back into dragons and follow Raya and her friends to Talon. At Talon, the gate opens as Raya and her friends hop off their riders*

Raya: All right. This is the place. Namaari and I will find Dang Hai and his mother.

*Raya and Namaari enter Talon as they search for Dang Hu and Dang Hai*

Raya: Dang Hai!

Namaari: Dang Hu!

Dang Hai: We're right here. Welcome back, Raya. I heard that you're approximately inviting the other tribes.

Raya: Hello, Dang Hai. Would you and your mother like to come to Heart with me and Namaari?

Dang Hai: Yes, we'd really love to.

Dang Hu: Raya, dear, where have you been?

Raya: We've been inviting the other tribes to Heart for the victory celebration.

Dang Hu: That's wonderful. We'll come.

Namaari: Then let's go to Heart.

Dang Hai: Oh, and by the way, I heard that you sacrificed yourself for Namaari.

Raya: Thanks.

*Raya, Namaari, Dang Hai and Dang Hu exit Talon. Dang Hai and Dang Hu meet the dragons and bow to them*

Dang Hai and Dang Hu: Almighty dragons.

Sisu: Wow, I never thought Dang Hai and Dang Hu would still be alive. Anyway, let's go to Heart.

*Raya hops on Tuk Tuk, Namaari hops on Buwan, General Atitaya and General Wahn hop on the other two serlots. Spine Chief hops on Sisu, Dang Hai and Dang Hu hop on Pengu, and Tail Chief hops on Pranee. They all ride to Heart. At Heart, they have arrived and hop off their riders*

Raya: All right. We've arrived.

Spine Chief: Congratulations, Raya. You've just invited us to the victory celebration.

*Chief Benja, Chief Virana, Tong, Little Noi, Boun and Ongis approach Raya and her friends*

Chief Benja: Welcome home, dewdrop. So, how'd it go?

Raya: It went perfect.

Chief Benja: I'm glad you're still alive, Spine Chief.

Spine Chief: Thanks, Chief Benja. I knew you'd count on us.

Boun: Tail Chief? Is that you? Wow, welcome back to the living.

Spine Chief: Tail Chief? I thought I'd lost you.

Tail Chief: Hey, don't worry. I was brought back to life.

Chief Virana: Oh. *hugs Tail Chief* I can't believe you're back. And look at you. You're still alive.

Spine Chief: Yes, Chief Virana. I'm still alive.

Tail Chief: *hugs Boun* I missed all the food so much. And now I'm brought back to life.

Boun: Oh, you poor lady. You must be hungry.

Little Noi: *babbles* Tail Chief, hungry.

Tong: That's right, Noi. She was hungry. And wow. It's such an honor to meet you for the first time, Spine Chief.

*Tong and the Spine Chief hug each other*

Spine Chief: Thanks, Tong.

*A band of Ongis meet Spine Chief*

Spine Chief: Oh. Hey, there. You don't seem too mischievous.

*A little Ongis jumps onto the Spine Chief as he pets it*

Spine Chief: Wow, you're just as adorable as your parents. *to Raya* I have a real confession, Raya. *his voice breaks* Dang Hai and I broke the Dragon Gem six years ago. Your father should've just made you catch the Gem, and none of this would have ever happened. We're really sorry. If it's not too late... please forgive us.

Raya: That's all I ever wanted to hear. It truly was.

*Spine Chief and Dang Hai hug Raya as they chuckle*

Raya: *whispers* My boys.

*Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba turn into humans again*

Chief Benja: All right, everyone. We have plenty of food. Let's all go inside and have a victory celebration.

*Raya, Namaari, Chief Benja, Chief Virana, Spine Chief, Tong, Tail Chief, Boun, Dang Hai, Dang Hu, Noi, Ongis, Sisu, Pengu, Jagan, Pranee and Amba enter the kingdom*

*TO BE CONTINUED...*

Stay tuned for Part 2!
