Number 25! My fav trio! I really want to do more content for them. I especially love the concept of a modern/school au where they actually get to be teenagers together.:’) Yeah, the background’s pretty bad and stuff, but oh well.

Just them chatting and waiting for Cale to wake up cuz he fell asleep in class and they didn’t have the heart to wake him. They’ve been there for hours. Eventually Eruhaben kicks them out.

But guys! One week left!!!

“Surely not…. It’s been 15 years… and anyone would have stopped before getting disowned, noone would lack *that* amount of care for themself”

And then basen doesn’t stop thinking about it for a week

What Cale thinks of himself vs. Everyone

Cale: I'm a shrimp compared to them

Everyone: You are my king/Leige/lord, your not anything like that

Cale: I'll only do a little bit of work then rest

Everyone: Please leave some work to us, stop doing everything by yourself

Cale: Self sacrificing, what are you talking about.

Everyone: Are you kidding me!

Cale: Don't be like me

Raon: But I want to be just like you

Minus the self sacrificing part

Cale: I don't deserve this

Everyone: WHAATT, young master-nim who told you that

I have not watched the apothecary diaries but I heard the mc is a poison fanatic and it gave me an idea.

OG! Cale who eats poisons for fun.

In a version of this AU, he didn't need to act trashy, he just became very open about his obsession with poisons and how he wants to travel the world to injest different types of poison. That really put people off him becoming Count.

Or, he still acted like trash and indulged in his poison hobby in his free time, which he had a lot of.

I imagine that in a situation where he's at some place with the heroes, they're served wine and Cale drinks it and says: "Oh yeah, this is straight poison!" before taking another sip. Choi Han knocks the glass from his pout and complains to him that it was still good wine.

Alberu kept Cale as his personal poison tester because the guy was knowledgeable and immune to most poisons. Cale probably became a leader of poison specializing division in the military.

Let Cale have his poison.

Modern LCF AU where Lily and Bassen get tired of people trash talking their brother— specially because they know a lot of what they say is exaggerated or down right slander— so they create the first and only (for now) Cale Henituse Appreciation Account (the original one, of course).

The posts alternates between iconic Og!Cale quotes and wholesome annecdotes about him in no particular order and answers fighting hate posts about him.

Some people follow them because they're funny but almost no one believes them. So they decide to reclute Hans to their efforts.

Why? Because he's a good photographer. He has an account dedicated to cute photos of random cats.

Their next post is a short video of Og!Cale crunching down in front of a stray dog, both of them staring at each other and tilting their heads in synchronization. The video ends when the dog puts a muddy paw on his shoulder. He whispers "You're a good girl" and giggles.

When winter break is over, Og!Cale is widely confused. He went away for some weeks to deal with stuff and when he came back no one feared him anymore. No one avoids him, no one looks at him like they day couldn't get worse. Some people even greeted him. Genuinely, friendly greeted him. Not the fake two faced greet people do because they have to.

Rok Soo seats next to him and he's so relieved that he's the same as always— Until he asks him if he plans to adopt the dog.

What dog? What do you mean that "from the video"? What video? There's an account of what?!

He opens his phone and checks it quickly.

Og!Cale, immediately recognizing the pattern speech: Lily, what are you doing on twitter? You're too young.

Lily: It's fine. Oppa and Hans are with me.

Og!Cale: So, those are your accomplices.

HOLY TRINITY X SPY AU

In this modern world where technology and magic interwired, the existence of spy remains necessary more than ever.

We have an organization that immediately disbatches 3 of its top members to a prestige, highly publicized boarding school due to a rumor that a bomber blood mage criminal has hidden there.

1st spy, nicknamed the Silver Shield, real name: Kim Rok Soo.

2nd spy, nicknamed the Demon King, real name: Kim Dokja.

3rd spy, nicknamed Monster Mother, real name: Han Yoojin.

All three are talented but are desperate for their deserved retirement.

This mission will be the last. The three spies are confident this plan will go without a hitch since they have worked together before and any missions, no matter how impossible, are guaranteed to be succeed with the Unholy Trinity there.

Of course they jinx it.

The Academy they will be undercover turns out to not only housing the target but to also be a nestling pot of an incredibly secretive and dangerous crime organization that has existed since ancient time and is currently alarmingly large in number. There are hints that the org might have impacted the Holy Trinity's childhood before.

To add to the trouble, Rok Soo (who is half-Korean) had dyed his hair red and forged a fake name, as expected. It would have been no problem if it wasn't for the fact that Rok Soo, or Cale Margarita (he lost a bet), shares resemblance to the infamous wealthy deliquent, Cale Henituse down to the reddish-brown eyes. Or that the young boy Choi Han, whom he gives his sandwich to, would obediently follow him around like a puppy!

Kim Dokja, or rather Yoo Dokja, finds himself at odds with the professor Yoo Joonghyuk, who Dokja embarassibgly admires when he was young. Yoo Joonghyuk, through his keen sense and instinct, is suspicious of this "Yoo Dokja" and no, despite what Uriel and others say, he does NOT have a crush on that annoying man!

Han Yoojin, who uses his real name since unfortunately his overprotective younger brother (who doesn't know his older brother is in a dangerous career) is the star pupil of this school, enters as a sort of teaching assistant to one Sung Hyunjae, who keeps giving him exotic presents.

The retirement life filled with money and delicious food, suddenly seems far far away.

P.S: this is based on a dream where my OC asks the holy trinity this question: "How to hide oneself in plain sight?"

Kim Rok Soo/Cale: "Act cute, weak, helpless"

Han Yoojin: "Cuteness can save the world"

Kim Dokja: "Born ugly :)"

*the conversation derails into disaster*

P.S Again: Margarita is an alcoholic drink whose base is tequlia, orange liqueur and lime. And guess who hates sour thing 🤣

Choi Han and OG Cale try not to fight each other for five minutes challenge level impossible

Oh my GoD hear me out! Wolf Beastman!Kim Rok Soo

I know, sounds kinda weird but just shush and listen!

So, KRS goes wooooop~ all the way to the TBOAH[calling it BOH for short] world, but instead of swaping with Cale he instead becomes his own 'character', and is in fact a member of the Black Wolf Beastman Tribe. Why black? Because black wolves are rad as hell and KRS just gives me "Black Wolf" energy.

NOW! At first, KRS doens't know that he's in the BOH world, because he woke up alone in the forest. Is he the last member of the Black Wolf Tribe? Was it even a tribe at all? Was KRS actually from a differnet tribe but got kicked out due to his rare/ominous fur color? I haven't decided on that yet, but either way he's now a Lone Wolf![I've decided. It's part of the edit]

KRS is pretty much just living his best Wolfy life, he's traveling, adjusting to his new body, learning how to hunt and shift, and he gets to sleep whenever the fur he wants so he's actually enjoying himself more than he thought.[except he is so so lonely. Wolves should not be alone, Lone wolves suffer a lot due to their need of pack so even if KRS won't admit it, hes suffering emotionally]

After making a small territory is a seemingly quiet forest, he smells smoke and blood and hears screaming, and because he "doesn't want to chance the fire getting to his territory", he goes to check it out and finds the Blue Wolf Tribe already slaughtered, excpet for the children. Now, because KRS is too soft, even if he won't admit it, he tried to help the kids. They're wary of him, since obviously he's a stranger, but he brings them food and healing herbs he was able to sniff out. It isn't until KRS sees Lock that he realizes he's in BOH.

After the pups seem well fed and healed from any injuries, KRS tries to leave. He knows being around Lock will get him pulled into the plot, and he wants no part of. Except now the pups have come to see him as their new caretaker....Kim Rok Soo: you are the father!

Still thinking about what would happen after this though. Any suggestions?

How do you guys feel about KRS being able to have a wolf form? I know the Blue wolves don't seem to be able to shift like On and Hong can, but I really want Rok Soo to be a huge wolf with like 15 kids dog piled on top of him...

Edit:

So for this timeline I think I've decided that; the Harris Village attack and the Wolf Tribe attack dates were switched. So instead of "the unknown organization" attacking Harris first, they did the wolf tribe first.

I've also decided that Black Wolf Tribe was a thing, but the "Unknown Organization" got to them first, and the reason KRS is alone in the frist place is because he was the only survivor, similar to Lock in the original timeline.

Rok Soo isn't aware of this change though, and thinks Harris Village has already been destroyed so his plan is to go to Harris Village and rebuild so the pups have a new home, and the KRS will start a small Village or something there.

Lock does go berserk as in Canon, but with nobody else around KRS is the one taht has to take his attacks, pretty much cementing their bond.

Number 8! Lout of Count’s Family’s release is officially one week closer!

I was hesitant to post this because I wasn’t sure I liked how it came out, but whatever… Anyway, I was scrolling through Pinterest and found a pose reference that just made me think of them. Also, a little extra after because I posted so late. It’s a lot more messy and unfinished than I would normally post, but I kinda started to get burnt out and wanted to get it done tonight. I’m also practicing with some simpler styles so overall I don’t think it turned out too bad.

So I made it through an entire week so far! Phew! I can only pray I don’t get too tired to do the rest of this….. and in a timely manner

It’s them! In the certain instances where Cale had enough of Calyan(Roksoo)’ laziness, and finally forced his brother to get out of bed and do stuff. Ft Calyan dying of embarrassment in front of Ron. This is my third post for this au and it certainly won’t be the last! So look forward to some more Twin!AU shenanigans! Bonus under the cut.

Top 10 TCF Fanfics Formats

So, as far as I can tell, if you're looking up TCF fics on AO3, at least 90% of what you see will be one (or more) of these formats:

Reaction Fic ("In an Instant" fic alikes: all sorts of "divine intervention" and "watching the show" setups)

Where Cale is Not Cale (usually: KRS transmigrates as another character. Most commonly: Twin Cales AU.)

TCF Except Slightly AU (sometimes because of a ship, but generally a straight-up canon retelling with changed details)

Shipping "Ahoy!" (I don't read those, but I've seen Alberu/Cale & Choi Han/Cale tags a lot. I can roughly imagine.)

Angst Fest Under Magnifying Glass (mostly based on the colorful collection of Cale or OG Cale's traumas, but often exaggerates them to make them EXTRA depressing and basically AU)

Dimension Travel (kinda similar to reaction fic premise, except Cale and sometimes others literally appear in the TBOAH dimension)

Crossovers (usually ORV, mostly Cale ends up in a crossover and... is being Cale, but nothing status-quo breaking happens most of the time?)

Romance Game and/or High School AU (for some reason...? Usually Cale-centric, but not always)

Something Weird Happens To Cale (usually de-aging scenarios, curses & transformations)

Various one-shots (mostly Gen small what-if or canon compliant scenarios)

I'll be perfectly honest - I'm guilty of mostly writing that kind of stuff as well. I covered a lot of different fics within those categories, so it might seem unfair. But... TCF fandom can use a little bit more variety, don't you guys think?

LCF/TBOAH x ORV AU idea:

After Cale Henituse made a deal with God of Death, there are some mistakes accidently made. Rather than transmigrate into Kim Rok Soo's body, he got reincarnated as Kim Dokja. He doesn't transmigrated into Kim Dokja's body but reincarnated as him. So he IS Kim Dokja since the beginning.

And with this AU, I really want to watch a gacha reaction video or a reaction fanfiction where it's either TBoAH or ToTCF react to ORV, spesifically react to ogCale as Kim Dokja. And ogCale here is the him who life for 40+ years and not the teenager him.

Just imagine him having life through war for 20 years, got reincarnated and suffer almost all his life in his second life, and then got thrown into an apocalypse that worse than the supposed apocalypse he would faced if he transmigrated into KRS's body, and all the things KDJ did for his companions.

OG! Cale is at a nobles banquet and there are some important guests attending so causing trouble could cause a big incident that wouldn't affect only his reputation.

So, he's on his best trashy behavior. Meaning, he's quietly drinking in the corner, minding his own business and glaring at anyone who comes near him.

Well, one down on their luck artist saw him when he thought no one was looking. This can be anyone, an oc, an AU version of an existing character, whatever. All you need to know is that they have a parlour in the place the banquet is held which they use as a studio or painting place.

His elegant motions, his expression smoothing to a tired sort of blankness that caused his eyes to droop, his long lashes casting faint shadows on his cheekbones. His lips, shapely and rosy, glossy from the near constant drinking and how his tongue swiped over them to catch every last drop of wine. Pale skin flushed and his blood-red hair artfully framing his face, the dim lighting of the corner he occupied making him appear isolated in the crowded ballroom.

Basically, he looks out of this world and this artist has just found their new muse.

So, they ignore his prickly attitude and ask if they can paint him. Cale is confused but he chalks it up to this person not knowing who he is and thinking he's pretty, which he is. He wants to scare them off but the ballroom has quietened a bit due to the music slowing down and really, they have done nothing wrong and he decides, just this once, he can have this.

Cale says yes, and the artist, excited, immediately drags him away to their studio room. He shrugs and goes with the flow.

During the sketching part, Cale takes off his coat and loosens up the laces on his neck because he's feeling warm. Artist-nim is thrilled and flustered and even more amused. So, they make him pose on the couch like this:

Except his legs are on the floor, his gaze is to the side and his hand is propping up his chin. Cale is a bit tired and he drank enough to be a little buzzed, his expression is soft and he zones out.

Everything goes well, they paint him beautifully and amazingly, he likes it enough to offer them a few gold coins which they try to refuse but he insists so they relent and take the money from their muse.

Cale doesn't think much of it, it was the only fun he had at that banquent.

A few weeks later, the Artist is showing off their work at an exhibit and they display the painting of Cale as their magnum opus.

People recognize Cale but they're shocked and amazed because one the painting is stunningly beautifully and because of how Cale looks. He appears relaxed, his expression dreamy, almost dazed, his cheeks rosy with that drunken flush and shapely lips parted ever so slightly. His throat and collarbones are bared in an unintentionally sensual manner.

Long story short, the painting goes internationally viral, Cale becomes a target for artists everywhere and the Henituse are being bombarded for their son's hand in marriage.

The Artist who painted is hella rich and hella smug.

[sadlynotthevoid]

I can't believe we don't have at least one LCFxTanaka-kun crossover.

Like, we have a protagonist who is a failed lazy ass and yet, we haven't thought on putting him in the same space that the lazy king, Tanaka.

Just imagine a highschool AU where they all go to the same school and:

• Og!Cale overhears someone talking about "that guy tanaka from the other class" who is "so lazy even his music slows down" and has a brilliant idea.

• One day, Tanaka, Otta and some of their friends stay after class because someone told them that "that punk guy Henituse from the other class" wants to meet with Tanaka. They all expect a scary angry dude seeking a fight.

• Instead, they get a weirdly enthusiastic Cale, looking like a puppy who got offered a hamburger. He first asks if he's Tanaka (curiously pin-pointing the right person at jis first try) and if whether he was "as ridiculously lazy as the rumors say". Then, in a petition that makes them think of Miyano, he requests Tanaka to become a lazy mentor.

• "No, not to me. To my brother— the new one, not Bassen—. He talks and talks about how much he wants to be a slacker and do nothing all day long. But, that guy, he wouldn't take a rest even if mundial peace was declared. He keeps running around, getting himself in troubles and always ends up hurt. It's troublesome. So, teach him to be lazy peacefully, please."

• So Rok Soo, the recently adopted Henituse kid, attends to Tanaka's listless lessons with Miyano.

• The first try fails magnificently. Instead of Tanaka's lifestyle sticking to Rok Soo, Tanaka gets infected by Rok Soo's logic. For a whole week, Tanaka's friends (plus Cale, because "he started this") have to run after him trying to stop him from doing dangerous things. Luckily, his stamina is really low.

• After every try, more and more people get involved in the "Let's Teach Rok Soo How To Slack" plan. They still keep failing tho.

• At some point they forgot why those meetings were for and just use them to hang out with friends. Except Cale, he keeps trying.

• Otta, Alver and Shiraishi bring baked goods to their meetings and exchange recipes. They're baker friends.

• Echizen is confused at Cale's reputation sometimes. He's mostly harmless and he won't do anything unless the person in question crosses a line, but people still fear him more than her. After seeing him in action, she gets it. People surely love to make assumptions. He only has to put a face and be vague here and there and they'll come up to their own conclusions.

•They bond about their cute likings.

There's more but that's what I can think about right now.
