#the arcana a mystic romance x reader

[magicians-abode]

Saw this post on my page as I was scrolling and immediately got inspired, so I opened my notes and started writing. This is fresh out of my brain, so enjoy! ♡~

Characters Included: Laios Touden; Kabru of Utaya; Asra Alnazar; Yaad Melini; Thistle

Warnings: none - fluff

If you ever were to approach him and decided to ask him "what exactly is so great about me?" Oh he'd start slowly pointing out "obvious" things. They're obvious to him, maybe not to you if you're insecure about yourself, but hell they are one of the first things that stand out to him. He'd look at you with a gentle smile as he points out how your hands fit so nicely in his. How he loves the feeling on your skin against his when he's holding you, caressing you ever so softly.

He loves the way the sun hits your hair, whether it be short, long, tied up or not, the sunrays always manage to tangle in your locks and create a soft angelical halo around your pretty head. He adores the way your chest subtly rises and falls when you breathe in and out, and how if he were to rest his pretty head over the place where your heart is, it'd lull him to sleep, creating a soft rhythm for his ears.

And then he would start going more into depth about things. Don't expect him to just answer with a: "you're pretty/beautiful, smart, funny" because that just simply won't do. It's not enough to describe how it makes his heart feel whole and full of light.

Speaking of full of light; "have you got any idea of how beautifully your eyes shine whenever you smile?"

He says your voice feels like it's carried by the wind itself whenever you speak. It's beautiful. Never too loud, never too soft, just perfect for him to listen to you all day long without getting tired.

"It's as easy as breathing to love you, and more necessary than air itself" he'd declare, placing a hand over his heart, swearing it on his life.

He likes your curves: your stomach, your shoulders, your hips, your legs, and not sexually, no he'd never just mean it that way. He loves the way you carry yourself, the way you walk and how your hips shift with every step, how your arms swing softly by your sides and how your hair seems to softly bounce.

In your face lay the most gorgeous features any painter would've loved to portray in a portrait, that years later, would end up in a museum for everyone to admire and gush about how breathtaking the model was.

Lips as soft as a summer breeze, refreshing and always leaving you wanting for more. Eyes as bright as the sun, eyelashes as its rays of light. Cheeks sometimes the canvas of a gentle blush whenever you're too cold, or feel too shy.

He loves you from the inside out and from head to toe, and that is something that will never change. It didn't happen yesterday, it won't happen today, and it won't happen tomorrow either. You are a beautiful child of nature, made of beauty and love, meant to be happy and even more.

In his eyes, perfection has a definition, and it's you.

A/N: I've been racking my brain all day trying to get inspo to write what has been in my ask box for days now, but instead wrote this. I'm happy but also disappointed in myself ;-; please tell me this happens to someone else too (this is me:)

Image waking up to Muriel just humming a lullaby he’d learned from the other members of the Kokhuri as he sits in front of the bassinet opposite your bed. His hand gently resting on the baby’s back, doing nothing but staring at the tiny little marvel you and him worked so hard for. The one he can’t look at with anything but a sense of absolute wonder. He’d have never been able to tell you this was where he’d be but my goodness he’s so happy he’s here.

*appears a day late for his birthday and disappears into the void again*

[iridescent-solstice]

Pst @graciebasie . . . remember Rockstar!Asra? Cause he def remembers you.

❝ Locked in the hotel There's some things that never change ❞

Sighing you lean forward on your elbows, watching intently as he sings. Standing behind the studio's glass window, you were tasked with adjusting and tweaking the audio ever so slightly when needed. That was your job. To make sure everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. So, Asra was absolutely perfect for his fans. Not like he wasn't that all on his own. You could see why the viewers kept requesting for this cover. The song Senorita in his normally soft and airy voice was already enough serotonin to provoke a heartattack . . . but when he adds an air of intimacy into the mix? Instant kill. No chance for recovery left . . .

The relationship between you two was strictly professional but even you couldn't deny the thousands of compliments his fans would spew in the comment section. And with the studio completely empty today as per his request. You could freely admire him without the fear of getting caught. Something something about feeling more at ease with just you by his side. Normally you'd be against it, but he was far too insistent this time, so you gave in. Just this once though. Usually, you’d be his side to give feedback and not behind the glass fiddling around with buttons, but today the camera was turned on. Unfortunately, it was only a few feet away from you. Turned towards Asra so there'd be no chance of any eye contact. Not even accidental. He wasn't a fan of staring directly into the camera or even in its general direction.

❝ You say we're just friends But friends don't know the way you taste, la-la-la ❞

Stunning. Is the only adjective that would do justice when Asra’s like this. Always in a world of his own when he’s singing. He really is passionate about his craft, and it definitely shows.

An angel. That’s what he looked like, well he always did, but especially under the ambient lighting you choose today. His golden-brown skin glitters as the light bounces off his thick golden choker. His fluffy white hair messy yet stylish in a way only he can manage to pull off. Not to mention the way he grips his guitar while rocking his hips every now and then. He must be aware of what he's doing. There's no other reason he'd be grinning to himself as he sang if he wasn't. In a good mood, you note. Whatever he's thinking about must be exciting because he can't stop smiling to himself. His dimples even more prominent due to the halo effect behind him. His signature baggy white shirt is rolled up at the sleeves leaving his arms exposed for everyone's viewing pleasure. Biceps flexing every now and then, while one slender hand grips the base of the guitar as the other skilfully toys with the strings.

You flinch when he suddenly turns towards you. Scrambling, you look down at the soundboard. Did you miss a lighting cue? Highly unlikely, but then again . . . You have been extremely distracted today. However, that didn’t seem to be the case at all. So confused you glance back only to be hit with a sight for sore eyes. His paralysing hypnotic eyes locked onto you make you freeze like a deer caught in headlights. Furrowing your brows you make a questioning expression as if to ask what's wrong. Confusion only growing when he continues to sing as if he's not acting extremely out of character. It's only when his eyelashes flutter sinfully, a grin twitching at his lips while he tilts his head back with a low lidded stare that you realise what's going on . . . He's singing to you.

❝ Ooh, I should be runnin' but Ooh, you keep me coming to ya ❞

Sun pours in through the window beside your bed. It tickles your skin, urging you to wake from your slumber. The light tries to pull the covers off of you as the day calls your name, but you do not answer. You lay curled up on your side, blankets huddled around you in a cocoon. You don't carry the usual motivation that you have to get up and get things done, not today. All you want to do is hide in the blankets away from the world and stay there forever. So many emotions that are far too heavy for you to carry weigh on your shoulders, and if sleeping forever was an option, you would have dozed back off by now. But the sun is persistent in its mission at waking you, so your eyes begrudgingly peel open.

Your sight is welcomed by the same view that you have been greeted with every morning for the past three years. You lay still for a moment to take everything in. So much has happened ever since the countess asked that you take on the task of finding Count Lucio's killer, Doctor Julian Devorak. The first time that you met him, he had broken into your shop, and you found him again at the Rowdy Raven. Somehow, you managed to run into him again after a few weeks, one thing led to another, and you had fallen in love with the very man that you had sworn to catch for hanging. This romance did not last you very long, for last night, he left you. He told you that he was a disaster waiting to happen, that he didn't want to hurt you. He was so convinced that if you chose him, you would have chosen a horrible fate, and he couldn't let you do that to yourself. He walked you home, and while having dinner with Asra after speaking about your day, you broke. You had spent most of that night in tears with them at your side the entire time, holding you and rubbing your back to comfort you.

You turn around to see Asra exactly where he was when you had fallen asleep; At your side, on their back with their arm extended out to you incase you wanted to curl up against them. He had warned you about Julian, and his words echo in the back of your head. "The only thing he loves more than drama is his own suffering. And he's determined to chase both." You reflect on the way that he spoke of himself when he was fighting with himself about leaving you, and you find it so hard to believe that Julian is anything like how he sees himself. With the little time that you had spent together, you can see Julian's big heart, one that is kind and adventurous and full of love for the people around him. Despite everything that happened in his past, whatever it was, you can't see him as anything more than someone you want to love.

Enough is enough. You cannot lay here and sulk all day, even though that's all you really want to do. Slowly, you manage to sit up from bed, careful with your movements so that you don't wake Asra. You decide to go downstairs to make some tea for yourself, since it always makes you feel better. You trudge to the shop below, still groggy from slumber, and grab the teapot before waking the salamander and politely asking to light a fire for you. The fire flares up, and you make your favorite brew.

After you make your tea, you delicately take the mug into your hands and blow on it before having a sip. A content sigh escapes your lips as your eyes close, savoring the taste on your tongue. You take another slow sip before your eyes open, looking around the shop that you have learned like the back of your hand. You figure that you'll probably need to open up today, which you don't think will be too much of a problem. Standing around won't do you much good, you think, so you decide to stand outside for some fresh air. You make your way to the door and open it, one foot is about to step out of the door when you stop upon seeing something just under your foot. You move it back into the shop, then lean over and see..a letter? Your name is written on the front in handwriting that you have seen in the palace's library, and you know exactly who it's from.

You scoop the letter up from the floor before dashing inside, slamming the door behind you before rushing to the front counter. Anxiety swirls around within your stomach hotly, and your hands slightly tremble as you rip open the letter. You free the paper from its prison and unfold it, then begin to read.

My Dear,

I knew that I wouldn't be able to stay away from you. At the time that I am writing this letter, it has only been a couple of hours since I dropped you back off at the shop. The moment that I walked away, all I wanted to do was come running back to you. My heart was screaming at me to turn around, to ask you to come with me, wherever that meant for us to have gone. I guess that just proves how selfish I am, or maybe just how alluring you are. In the end, the decision that I made was for the better of both of us. We could never be together, no matter how badly we want differently.

Believe me when I say that I did not want this to end the way it has. I have never wanted to cause you harm or heartache. If I could, I would spend the rest of my life taking your pain away. But I have only one purpose in this life, and that is to hurt. I am destined to bring misery to everyone in my life, and to live alone. Choosing a future with me would mean to choose a future full of disappointments, and I do not want to disappoint you anymore. I do not want to disappoint anyone anymore. So I will not burden you with my presence. You will be able to go on with your life, chasing a future that will not wind up with you getting hurt. You are the last person that I want to drag into my mess, so I have to let you go.

Though our time together was short, I enjoyed it all. Every moment with you made me feel more alive than I have ever felt before. It is not often that I find someone who is willing to get into some mischief with me, so finding you and sharing the experiences that we had together is something that I am very grateful for. I am grateful that you allowed me to be in your company for as long as you did, and I am grateful for the kindness and care that you showed me. You have such a gentle, beautiful soul, and everyone who has ever crossed paths with you are the luckiest people on planet to have been able to experience your presence.

I could go on about how lovely you are. You have so much love to give, and you are caring. You had the capacity to care for me, and for that, I am grateful. One day, I can only hope that you will understand that leaving you was for your benefit. I do not want to bring you the suffering that I have brought so many others, so I will spare you of myself. I am struggling to believe that this decision is the right one, honestly. All I can think about is running back to your shop and breaking in again to tell you how sorry I am, and to beg for your forgiveness. That's something that we are going to have to find out together, I guess.

Forever Yours,

Dr. Julian Devorak

You don't know how long tears have been falling down your face. Your chest feels tight, like it's about to burst, and you can't breathe. A hand hovers over your mouth as you stare in horror at the paper in your hand. Too many emotions crash into you all at once for you to even begin processing the words in front of you. You couldn't believe that this is how it's ending between you and Julian. You know that part of why he feels this way about himself is because he has no memory of the night that he allegedly murdered Count Lucio. However, there is also the opposite end of that spectrum; He doesn't remember. There could be a chance that he didn't actually kill the count, and if that's the case, then you need to figure out what actually happened that night. Your blood runs overwhelmingly hot inside you as you ruminate on Julian's irresolution. You feel like you shouldn't even be this upset about someone that you didn't even have a solid relationship with, but you can't ignore the agonizing stabbing feeling in your heart. He could be innocent, but he is more willing to live his life wallowing in his own guilt than to live knowing that the baggage that he is carrying is unneeded.

You are unable to control your body any longer as you collapse to your knees, your loud sobbing betraying the anger that you stirred inside you just moments ago. A brief feeling of regret is drawn from you for even thinking of being angry, leaving as soon as it comes to be replaced with desolation. Grief for what could have been, for what you so desperately wanted this to be, overwhelms you. Shrieks from your voice scream into the empty shop as you hold the letter to your chest with both arms, your torso leaning forward in a fetal position on the floor.

Footsteps scatter down the stairs, and familiar eyes lay upon you. Your cries have awakened Asra, and they are at your side within seconds. His hands are on your shoulders and he sits on the floor with his feet under his butt, his knees propping him up. They watch worriedly as you heave and wail, only when you sit up do they see the letter in your hand. He doesn't say anything, for he knows exactly what has happened. Their eyes darken before they return their focus to you, you are far more important right now. You cry out to whatever spirit will listen, and collapse into Asra's arms. A strong embrace comes around you, only protecting you so much from the hurt of your heart.

You cannot understand what is going inside of Julian's head for the life of you. You do not understand why he feels such a strong need to push you away when all you want is to love him. He has admitted to wanting the same thing, so you feel so confused as to why he just won't let you. You find it difficult to believe that he truly hates himself so much, that he despises the very person that you see so much good in. The fact that he hates someone who took on a curse in which he takes on other's wounds because of his own guilt baffles you. A future without Julian is not a future that you want, but it is what he believes that he deserves. He believes that he deserves to walk the world alone for the rest of his life, and despite the fate that he has condemned himself to, something muffledly admits to you that it is not what he is bound to live.

(A/N): Inspired by my own lack of motivation to finish some works/tasks/stuff I have to do and the unholy aggressiveness of my ovulation this month. Enjoy! (let me know if there are any mistakes, my brain isn't Englishing very well right now)

Characters Included: Kabru of Utaya; Asra Alnazar (and if you have any more, let me know!)

Warnings: NSFW - reader has afab genitalia - praise - (really short)

Sometimes... all you wanted or needed was some sweet motivation from your boyfriend to be able to help you push through your laziness or struggles and finally finish your work those days it seemed like you just couldn't for some reason. And no matter what it was, be it cuddling together, buying you chocolates or treats you liked, or fucking you senseless into the mattress so you could finally relax and feel proud of yourself after pushing through and finishing important stuff, he was always more than happy to indulge you.

He grinds his hips against yours, filling your sweet, dripping cunt as he tries his best to let you feel every inch inside of you. "I'm—" plap. "so—" plap. "proud of—" plap. plap. "you, sweetheart..." he whispers sweetly against your ear, already breathless, but making sure you're properly rewarded for your efforts. "You did... such a good job" you can feel his hands, forever gentle with you, firmly grab your legs and lift them to rest on his shoulders, angling himself to reach deeper inside your pussy just the way he knew you liked and start to pick up the pace with each thrust of his pretty hips. "Enjoy your reward sweetheart... feels so good, right?" And the only thing you can do is nod stupidly, every thought in your mind erased. "Good, that's good... you deserve it ♡"

Yeah, sometimes all you needed was to know there was a reward at the end to finish your work.

[thekitchenywitch]

Little things about dating Asra

• NEEDS to be able to hear your heart beat when you’re sleeping or when cuddling. Literally has no preference on positions as long as her can have his ear against your chest

• going along with that you’ve found him napping in the absolute WILDEST places, one time you found him asleep in the spices/herbs pantry… he smelled so good but so unidentifiable for about 2 days

• Faust is always updating Asra on you if you can’t be together all the time (as we saw in canon) but also Vice versa. She’ll never admit it to you but sometimes she thinks that you two could have actually gotten together pre-route and your both just idiots (affectionately)

• anytime he has to leave you behind for a mission he’ll leave you little trinkets from the last one to soften the blow of not waking up next to him

(I’ve risen from the dead, hopefully (but not likely) will be able to post more often)

[iridescent-solstice]

(Blame @crunchy-humanoid for this au)

❝ How is it that you've grown even more beautiful than the last time I saw you . . .❞

Sighing wishfully, he cradles your cold lifeless body as gently as possible. Pulling it halfway out of the coffin it laid in, and flush to his chest. Quietly mourning what feels like the biggest lost he's ever been faced with. Asra hates it.

Even when he doesn't want to, he finds himself back here. By your side. The mating mark on his neck aches dully whenever he holds you. Its a welcomed punishment for not being there for you. For leaving you behind, and now . . . you’re gone. He’s noticed a lot of things since you’ve passed. The biggest find is how the dark brooding coffin doesn't suit you at all. No, he'd rather his arms be holding you instead, as you cheerfully beam back at him, your tiny fangs peaking out shyly behind your plum lips. But that's not possible now is it?

He wonders to himself just how much more will the count take from him? First his parents, then his best friend . . . and now you too? Asra will be damned if he lets the ritual succeed. If anyone deserves a second chance, it's you. Not Lucio.

REQUEST GUIDE

I will write for the next fandoms:

Genshin

Stardew Valley

Our Life: Beginnings & Always

Doki Doki Literature club

Obey me! Shall we date?

My Candy Love

The Arcana

Project Sekai

Mystic Messanger

Any other fandom I just so happen to be in that I forgot I was in

For all fandoms, I will take platonic, romantic, or even NSFW requests for any characters except:

Genshin:

I won't do nsfw for:

Any child character / child-modeled character.

Certain medium characters who I might HC as minors will only be allowed if the character is being requested for a ship involving a reader or character their age. In which the request will only imply that anything happened but won't go into heavy detail, meaning, I will do romance that might potentially lead to an NSFW scene, but I won't do a purely NSFW req.

Tall characters are all fine as long as your ship request is with another character I hc as an adult.

I won't do romantic works for:

Child-modeled characters are fine as long as its a character x child-modeled character/child reader. But I will still not do Nahida as she is far older than the other child characters

Short characters and tall characters are all fine as long as previously said, in my headcanon, both of the characters you request are either adult x adult or minor x minor.

I will be fine writing reader x character under those rules, but for character x character know that I will not write for any of the following characters unless it's with the respective pairings:

Tighnari x Cyno

Alhaitham x Kaveh

Xingqiu x Chongyun

Beidou x Ningguang

Ayato x Thoma / Itto

Jean x Lisa / Diluc

In the cases where there is an additional name written in orange it means that I can maybe sorta do that ship upon request, or do all 3 characters but under normal circumstances, I won't.

Stardew Valley

I will only do the love interests and maybe sorta if requested, Robin.

Of course, I won't write Sebastian x Maru as they're half-siblings

Doki Doki literature club / Project Sekai

I won't do any NSFW requests for any of the characters as they're still in high school.

Obey me! Shall We Date?

Luke, Luke, and Luke. I will ONLY take platonic requests for him !!!

Summary:

While on the hunt for Lucio - you, Muriel & Morga manage to capture and arrest his Courtiers. That is, all but one.

Fortunately you find them quickly. Unfortunately they already have something wicked planned.

Notes:

PLEASE NOTE: This story takes place sometime later on in Muriel's route. The apprentice and Muriel are in an established relationship. 

You, Muriel and Morga had already dealt with the other Courtiers. With Morga's expertise  you managed to easily track them down and then not so easily escort them back to Vesuvia. Currently the ones you had already captured were enjoying their luxurious stay in the jail cells underneath the abandoned Coliseum.

Your latest catch, Vlastomil, was standing between you and Muriel on your journey back to the city. His arms were chained but you each held one of his arms in case he tried to make a run for it (he had been a very slippery worm to catch). After that fiasco, the only one left to arrest was fiery courtier, Vulgora. You and your traveling party had come face to face with them quite a few times but each time they had always managed to avoid capture. Each time they put up a fight, the three of you barely able to over power them before they give you a smug smirk and escaped before any of you could even blink.

Luckily though you knew where they had scurried off to this time. As you reached the edge of the city, Morga caught wind of Volgora's trail once again. She muttered a quick "I'll meet you there" before bolting off the way you came from.

You and Muriel walked in a peaceful silence through the city, each of you focused on keeping your prisoner in sight and in line. However that peace quickly shattered as the Coliseum loamed in the distance. The abandoned structure casting a dark shadow onto anything it could reach, destroying any light it could find. Muriel's eyes grew dark as you crossed the threshold, his mind weighed down by terrible memories.

You hurried towards the cells, wanting to get Muriel out of there as soon as possible. It was hard for him everytime you came here. The old ruins lay empty, but to him it still held the ghosts of his past. As soon as you reached the cells the guards unlocked an empty one for you. Vlastomil let out a faint oof as you tossed him in beside the other Courtiers. You gave a quick farewell to the guards before grabbing Muriel's hand and escorted him back the way you two had came. He trailed behind you, body tense and eyes lowered.

As you came back out into the arena you turned back to check on him, your heart squeezing painfully at the sight before you. Unshed tears swam in his clouded emerald eyes. Expression blank and emotionless as he stared at something you couldn't see. It was a sunny day but the walls of the Coliseum didn't allow any of that light inside. The shadows made the arena feel colder, sadder, scarier.

Your feet instinctively took you closer to him, grabbing his other hand and rubbing small comforting circles with your thumbs. His body relaxed slightly at your gentle touch but his muscles were still too tense, his gaze still too distant. Slowly, so that you wouldn't startle him, you move your hands up to gently hold his face. Thumbs stroking across his cheeks in soft loving motions. 

"Muriel," You whispered “I-”

"What do we have here? Have the puny mortals COME TO PLAY?" A sinister voice shouted.

We quickly jumped apart. The new presence snapped Muriel out of his daze, automatically moving to stand in front of me, using his large body as a shield. While the gesture was sweet it wasn't really needed. You knew how to handle yourself in a fight pretty well by now. You moved to stand beside him instead of behind. He was clearly upset by that but didn't move to stop you. Your eyes quickly found the owner of the voice. Head tilting back as you glared at the figure atop the arena's wall. They almost looked like they were on fire, their red outfit lit up by the fiery sun shining directly down onto their back. Vulgora smiled evilly at you both.

"How are you here? Morga tracked your trail out of Vesuvia!" You shouted up at them. They only laughed, their pointed teeth flashing in the light.

"It’s not even difficult to fake a trail. Yet as you can see that stupid insect was dumb enough to fall for it." They directed their sharp smile at you specifically "Now! You will let my associates go!"

"Never!" You glared up at them, arms crossed and feet firmly planted in place.

Their smile never broke as they reached for something on their belt.

"Well in that case, I'll have to dispose of you." 

Muriel held his staff ready and you conjured an arrow in your bow, ready to fight. Vulgora’s gaze snapped to your lover, their smile growing impossibly large. They held up a bronze sword hilt straight up to the sky, flat smooth metal where a blade should rest. As the hilt touched the sunlight a fire from the smooth hilt burned and grew until it formed a fiery blade.

"On second thought… why don't you take care of them for me, scourge?" They smirked.

Before any of us could react Vulgura jumped down, impaling the fiery blade into Muriel's chest, right where his heart was. The large man collapsed to his knees, body completely still, eyes wide. Vulgura pulled the sword out, the blade once again missing. They laughed and walked off towards the jail cells. You rushed forward, a healing spell already ready but when you stood in front of him there was no wound. You quickly noticed though his eyes have fallen shut. Though what was even more concerning was he still hasn’t moved an inch, yet his body was shaking violently.

"Muriel…?" You gently held his face. "What's wrong? What did they do to you?" His face scrunched up in pain.

"Get away from me…"

"What? Why?"

"...not safe."

"What do you mean by that?" Your questions fell on deaf ears. He had stopped shaking and was deathly still. You put your magic out, searching him for what could be wrong. You felt a fire at his heart and your blood ran cold. It was dark and evil, like hellfire.

"Muriel-"

Your world spins as you were launched across the arena, slamming into the wall so hard it cracked. You blinked away spots as you watched a dark figure with glowing eyes loaming in the center of the arena. The sun behind them bright and burning. As they slowly approached you gasped. Physically it was Muriel but that definitely wasn't him. His stance was fierce, his face angry with a literal fire in his eyes. His pupils were black coals while a red hot fire burned from them. You were trapped there, in pain and shock as he drew closer. He stopped right in front of you. Face so close you could feel the heat of the flames on your face, so hot it burned. Your eyes connected, yours full of sadness and fear while his were full of hatred and anger.

"Muriel…?" You whispered. It hurt to speak. He flinched so slightly it almost seemed like it had been a trick of the light. "Please… I don't want to fight you." The flames died slightly. "I know this isn't you. They did something to you, I don't know what but I can help you, I promise that I can. You just need to calm down." You rambled on, trying to break him out of the spell but also distracting him enough to give you a minute to regain your focus so that you can heal yourself.

As soon as you stopped talking his fist raised slowly. You closed your eyes, quickly healing yourself. Your eyes shut open and you hurled your body to the side, nearly avoiding his punch. The wall where you just stood crumbled and cracked, pieces falling to the floor as dust clouded the air. You crept quietly, trying to avoid alerting him until you could figure out how to reverse whatever Vulgora had done to him. A healing spell perhaps? Probably one to reverse spells. The only problem is you didn't know the exact spell they did nor did you know how powerful their magic was. Either way it was worth a shot. You had to do something.

A nearly silent footstep behind you startles you from your thoughts. You whipped around, the spell starting to form as you were forcefully shoved to the ground. Muriel kneeled over you, his large frame holding yours in place. One of his hands held both of yours down above your head while the other held your throat. His grip was firm but it wasn't enough to hurt you or hinder your breathing. Your eyes connected with his as you desperately tried every spell you knew that could possibly help him. But each one was met with failure. Seeing that you had gone silent, his fist closed tighter. You gasped, breaths starting to become more difficult. 

"Muriel please I know you're still in there-" His grip tightened further. Tears welled in your eyes as you desperately tried to bring air into your crushed throat.

"Mur-iel" You barely choked out. Your vision faded to black and you lost track of time. Vaguely you felt his hands release you. You stayed as still as you could as your breathing evened out and your vision slowly came back. His gaze stayed on you but his eyes were wide and he was shaking violently. The fires in his eyes had shrunk and the once hellish red now glowed a sickly yellow. The spell was weakening but he wasn't free yet. Still a little out of it from almost being choked to death you could only think of one more thing to try. You slowly brought your hands to his face, softly cupping his cheeks and brought your lips to his. You kissed him with everything you had. Putting forth all the love you had for him into that one action. His shaking decreased and then stopped. Slowly he started to kiss back, hands moving to rest softly on your shoulders. After a few moments you pulled back, smiling softly at him.

"Are you okay?" His face fell at your question, the memories of what had happened making tears flood his eyes. He crawled off of you, hesitantly sitting on the ground next to you.

"You shouldn't be asking that…" He refused to meet your gaze, instead staring in horror at his hands. "You're the one who almost died…" You quickly got up, moving to hold him but he flinched away from your touch. "Stop! Don't touch me, I don't want to hurt you again…" Your heart dropped at that.

"Muriel… it wasn't your fault. You weren't in control, you were under a spell that made you do those things. You would never have hurt me if you'd been yourself." You spoke softly, your words sincere. He was quiet besides his sobs. After a few minutes he spoke, voice barely audible.

"Yes I'm okay… are you?" He finally met your eyes, tears staining his cheeks, concern and love in his eyes. You smiled softly, slowly reaching your hand out towards his face, stopping a few inches away in case he still didn't want to be touched. He closed the distance, gently leaning his cheek into your hand, eyes softly fluttering shut.

"I'm okay, thanks to you. Even with the spell you didn't kill me. It was close yes, but you stopped. You fought the spell because you didn't want to hurt me. I trust you, I know you wouldn't hurt me on purpose." You gently wiped the tears from his cheek. An action that was in vain because at your words they fell harder. He gently wrapped his arms around you and pulled you to his chest, burying his face in your neck.

"I'm so glad you're okay." He spoke softly into your ear. "I was so scared I was going to lose you." You gently stroked his hair, trying to soothe him. "The mission we're on is dangerous… something bad could happen to us any minute. I'm so scared of that happening… but I'm also scared of never telling you this if I were to lose you." His words cut off abruptly, broken by a sobbed hiccup. He spoke your name softly, his feelings clear in his voice "I… I love you."

Your own tears fell as you hugged him tighter. "Oh Muriel, I love you too." You both sat there for awhile, just crying and holding each other. Softly spoken words of comfort and affection filling the space between you. Yes the city of Vesuvia needed you, now more than ever since Vulgora had freed the other Courtiers while you were busy trying to help Muriel. But right now that wasn’t important. Right now you needed each other.

Notes:

Fun fact! This story was inspired by a dream I had. In it I was at an amusement park with Muriel and I was sitting on his lap while we were chilling on a picnic bench in a food area. A worker comes out with a sword and she holds it up to the sunlight and it gives it the power to turn people evil and be controlled by the owner of the sword. The amusement park was trying to build an army so they stab Muriel with the sword. He tries to fight it and is shaking violently. I held his face and tried to help him. He says the spell will only break if I love him and I tell him but I do love him but it's too late it's taken control and he tries to fight me but I ran away as the dream ended.

Since the courtiers each relate to one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, Vulgora (War) was perfect for this. Since Vlastomil (Pestilence) has his disease powers and worm babies obviously everyone else should have something cool. I took elements of my dream and elements of stuff that relate to war. The sword from my dream was perfect since swords are a very common weapon of violence (plus I feel like Vulgora would love swords). I added in the fire blade because fire is a common symbol of destruction and rage. The blade of fire also came slightly from my dream since they used the fire of the sun to activate it. Also in cannon Vlastomil was able to give Lucio the ability to spread disease, so I feel Vulgora would have something similar that would cause anger in others. Hence why they stabbed Muriel in the heart, they implanted war into him. Him shaking and trying to fight it also came from my dream. Along with the softly holding his face (I couldn't not add it multiple times, he is baby uwu).
