“Agent Kennedy!”
Alarmed, Leon straightened his shoulders, still wary of this stranger. He didn’t think they’d ever met, because he would’ve remembered those bright eyes and kissable lips. The guy was handsome in a sort of a boyishly charming way, and had they met at a bar Leon would’ve definitely considered approaching him. Now though, all that just flashed through his mind in a split second before he blurted out a “Who the hell are you?” followed up by “What the hell are you doing here?”
The guy laughed, and damn. He had dimples. “Chris did warn me that you’d be kind of prickly.”
-- Or, Leon gets some unexpected backup on his rogue mission in the Eastern Slav Republic.

Welcome, Armand lovers! I’m so excited it's finally time to share my little project with you! 🖤
From November 1 - December 5, I'll be hosting Good to Embrace, Good to Love, a fandom event celebrating Armand's relationships with his four greatest loves—Marius, Lestat, Louis, and Daniel—from the book series The Vampire Chronicles.
Each week will be dedicated to one of these ships, with a bonus week of prompts that can be used for some of the many others Armand has loved in his long immortal life i.e., Bianca, Nicolas, etc.
There will be two prompts per day: a quote from the books that represents an aesthetic of the ship + a word/sentence prompt. Do one, do both, combine them—it doesn't matter as long as you have fun!
AUs and genderswaps are more than welcome!
𝕲𝖚𝖎𝖉𝖊𝖑𝖎𝖓𝖊𝖘
Submissions can include fic, art, meta, headcanons, graphics, playlists, crafts, whatever!
Submissions must focus on a romantic and/or sensual element of the ship. It is ship fest, after all!
Ship combinations (threesomes or more) are also welcome—you decide which week you want to post! For example: an Armand/Lestat/Louis fic can be posted either during Week 2 (Lestat) or Week 3 (Louis).
Bonus week prompts can be used for whatever Armand ship your heart desires! And if you want to use them for Marius, Lestat, Louis, or Daniel, go for it!
Tag your submissions #ArmandShipFest and I’ll do my best to reblog! 🖤

Daddy’s Little Monster
•Alastor x teen! daughter! reader
•Platonic, you sickos
•What if… Alastor had a daughter who wanted to be a serial killer too?
You woke up to a red sky. There was a great pain in your head, and your vision was blurry. Once you were fully oriented, you stood up. What was this place? It was like prison, and god, it smelled awful. When you looked up at the pentagram over the sky, it dawned on you. You had died. You were in hell.
It was no surprise why you were in hell. You weren’t the best human. You indulged in a bit of cannibalism, and wanted to be an assassin when you were older. Older. That was something you’ll never be. You were just 13, thirteen and dead. However, how you died was a mystery. You had no memory of how you died.
Could it be you were murdered? No, you hadn’t made many enemies. Maybe fell from somewhere high? No, you were too scared of heights to be anywhere high. Hit by a car? You were always careless crossing the street. Yes, that had to be it.
You looked down at your new form. You had bright blue skin, and dark blue hair(She kinda looks like Ruby Gillman). The hair in your pigtails was now in thick, tentacle, like strands. Your ears were similar to fins, and your limbs were long and stretchy. You were some sort of kraken.
It made sense you were a sea creature though. You had always found yourself fascinated with the sea and the animals that inhabit that. You wished that one day you would be able to dive in there, and never have to return to the surface. You had longed to be down there with the fish and the animals. It felt like home more than the surface ever did.
You felt…at peace in hell, like you wanted to stay here. Sure, it was a little rough around the edges, but it felt like home. But your friends…everyone you left behind. Wouldn’t they miss you? For a moment in time, you wanted to go back. Go back to tell your best friend you loved her one last time. You felt her pain and her tears, and it broke your heart. But you can’t change the past. All you can do is love her and remember.
You decide to walk around your new environment. The buildings look old and run down, and people are fighting. You pass a porn studio, and laugh to yourself. Hell seemed like the kind of place where a giant porn studio would be a normal occurrence. Something catches your eye. A vending machine for drugs. You think about it for a second, but decide not to get anything.
You walk near a place called Cannibal Town, and saw some demons eating a guy. You wanted to join in, the taste of human flesh lingering in your brain, fueling your desires. In front of you was a singing demon, with a resemblance to a porcelain doll. She seemed to improv her whole song, and it amazed you. You loved to sing, and was impressed by her skills. You wanted to tell her, but you would feel bad for interrupting her song.
After exploring hell, you found a street corner to cozy up in. As your first day in hell concluded, you thought to yourself ‘is eternal damnation as bad as I thought?’

Haiii <3 I've seen your damnation au posts floating around my dashboard here and there, and I scrolled past many times by now (i had completely misunderstood the plot, not your fault, im just smooth brained) I finally caved and read it, and holy shit wow, its so good??? I took the quiz, and got the one I wanted on my first try (Pomefiore) and WOW. I then proceeded to read all of the others, and they're all great (especially the Savanaclaw one, I liked the world building you did, all of the leaps felt logical), but Pomefiore remained my favourite. I REALLY liked it, reread it several times. I wished to express how much I liked it, so for you Shiny, I bring two drawings as tribute. I bring a little meme I felt was funny, and my take on the raven retainer, because the look described was GENDER (mmm cloak and concealed sword and poison and dungeonnnnnn) Thank you for writing it, it brought much joy to me. If you ever make a Diasomnia one, I'll be dragged back by my ankles (Lilia is so premium)
(aaaaa i love his outfit so much) (featuring, what retainer looks like with the hood up)
I can see how people may not want to read. Imagine wanting to read as a sweet little treat, opening the 'read more' part and getting something that covers almost your whole screen-- yeah, that's my bad. 😭
Anyways, your take on Raven!MC is very stunning?? They're serving. Cunty (I recently learned that word from a mutual, hoped I used it right). The golden chains reminding me of a bird locked in a cage, the color scheme of the background fits so well especially considering the dorm, even the book is a great addition! And the bandages for the hand injury!! I nearly missed that! So much attention to detail. Each brushstroke looks so smooth and satisfying, I just can't explain it.
In simple words, I love your style. Give me your artistic talent.

Mattheo’s Gamble
Anguished by your tragic passing in the Second Wizarding War, Mattheo makes a bet with the Grim Reaper to get you back (features different AUs)
Mattheo Riddle x Reader
Official entry for @thatdammchickennugget's Hogmarch challenge, prompt 3.
Author's note: Steering off the prompt a bit as I have no idea how to write sports so here's another 'game' I thought of. I usually prefer writing full fics but this idea is so complex, enjoy this bite sized version instead.
✿ Masterlist | 677 words
♡ They had no right to take you away from him, Mattheo seethes as he strides into the Grim Reaper's lair.
♡ He had sacrificed way too much in the war only to lose what's most important to him in the end.
♡ Mattheo pleads his case, the Grim Reaper has to revive you. You are meant to be together in every single lifetime, losing you in this one is a mistake. It was never meant to happen.
♡ Mattheo doesn't actually know if it's true, but he is desperate.
♡ The Grim Reaper agrees to his request, if he wins a wager. He and Mattheo will visit three different lifetimes to test his theory. If proven correct that you always end up together across different lives, Grim Reaper is ready to correct the mistake and revive you fully, as if you never left at all.
♡ But if Mattheo is wrong, he would have to spend a hundred years in damnation. Mattheo believes he has nothing left to lose so he agrees to the wager with no hesitation.
Ancient Egypt AU
⛺︎ In the first lifetime Mattheo and the Grim Reaper visit, you are the pharaoh's daughter, beloved by all people.
⛺︎ Mattheo is the high court magician, highly favored by your father.
⛺︎ You and Mattheo grew up together and eventually become lovers. Your father would not approve if he found out so you keep it a secret.
⛺︎ Meanwhile, your father is arranging a strategic marriage for you.
1800s AU
☾ You and Mattheo meet while taking an extended vacation with your family. He’s staying in the same hotel as you and you become fast friends.
☾ It doesn't take long for the two of you to fall in love and promise to write each other letters to stay in touch.
☾ After your departure, you send him a letter but never hear from him again, thinking he has moved on.
☾ Forty years later, a mailman takes his last shift before retirement. While clearing an old pile of mail, he finds your letter wedged in between cabinets. Mattheo never received your letter.
☾ The mailman takes it upon himself to track down Mattheo to deliver your letter, his first adventure after retiring.
Mafia AU
⭐︎ The final life Mattheo and the Grim Reaper visit. You and Mattheo come from two warring gangs. He's one of the leaders of his gang, whereas your father is the leader in their rival gang.
⭐︎ To keep you safe, your father hid his world away from you and the mafia doesn’t know much about your existence either.
⭐︎ One day, your father disappears. To investigate his whereabouts, you go undercover in the rival gang to gather intel. They assign you to the subgroup that Mattheo leads.
Between the Grim Reaper and Mattheo
♡ The Grim Reaper reveals he chose the hardest timelines for you and Mattheo to end up together. During their journey across the different AUs, the Grim Reaper throws in more obstacles on your path.
♡ "Filthy cheater," Mattheo accuses the Grim Reaper.
♡ "Did you think I was going to go easy on you?" he replies with a cold smile. "I thought you were so sure about this little connection of yours.”
♡ Mattheo grits his teeth but says nothing further.
♡ In the end, you make your relationship work and end up together every single lifetime, against all odds. Thus proving that love is its own kind of magic. And oh, it is one of the most powerful.
♡ The Grim Reaper is amused by the whole wager and holds up his end of the bargain by reuniting you back with Mattheo.
♡ "How?" you ask, looking into Mattheo's eyes once you get a moment to catch your breath from all the happy tears and the vice grip of his embrace.
♡ "Would you believe me if I told you it was the power of love?" he asks.
♡ You laugh, "who are you and what have you done with my Mattheo?"
♡ "I'm right here love and you're here," he says, pulling you back into another hug, savoring the moment. Just as it was always meant to be, he thinks.
Cue Taylor Swift's Timeless: 'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this so, even in a different life, you still would've been mine, we would've been timeless.
✿ Masterlist
A/N: Changed the name to the Grim Reaper bc tumblr shadowbanned the original name starting with D.
Inspired by: The (Unalived) Hallows, Cloud Atlas, Doctor Who, Letters to Juliet, reading the Akashic Records.

Fics where Neil gets in a fight and actually wins!! I know it’s more commonly said that he can start fights and not finish them but let’s be for real, the boy was raised by two mafias and is scary as hell (I think i’ve seen someone ask this a while ago but i’m not sure if there’s an updated list) Mainly wondering for like post-canon fics, but au’s are cool too!
There’s quite a bit to discover on this topic, be that AU or in the context of canon. Of course, Neil rarely comes out of these troubles unscathed, but he wouldn’t be Neil if there wasn’t also a little martyrdom involved. You might find more on this under our bamf!Neil, butcher!Neil and occasionally raven!Neil tags. Have a browse, and see if there’s anything you like. - S

post-canon (more or less):
Out for Blood by Aquared46 [Rated M, 27975 words, complete, 2023, locked]
"Neil’s first thought upon opening his eyes was that he was lucky to be in the trunk of a car instead of the back of a van. His second thought was that even if he survived this, Andrew might finally give into the temptation to kill him." AKA Neil is abducted and everyone has a bad time.
tw: kidnapping, tw: torture, tw: nightmares
born for this by dovegraye [Rated G, 1278 words, complete, 2023]
There are some parts of Nathaniel Abram Wesninski that Neil Abram Josten can’t ignore and refuses to play at trying anymore. This is one of them.
tw: violence
My Lover Writes Me Letters by AceSirenSinger [Rated M, 23018 words, complete, 2023]
He feels it again – the fury, of Neil’s taunting precision, of his expertise honed specifically for Andrew. It makes Andrew furious. Andrew has not felt anything since he woke up with his head on fire, in a room with a man made of compressed violence. *** Andrew loses his memory of the last five years, and forgets Neil. Neil martyrs himself because of course he does.
**tw: threatened rape/noncon between major characters**, tw: graphic depictions of violence, tw: blood/gore, tw: referenced animal cruelty and death, tw: vomit, tw: implied/referenced rape/noncon, tw: murder, tw: implied disordered eating
five times neil beat the babygirl allegations, plus the one time he didn't by r3mus [Rated T, 7488 words, complete, 2023]
neil will NEVER beat the babygirl allegations in MY heart but, alas, he would probably punch me if i called him babygirl to his face.
tw: violence
Damnation by X0X0HauntedX0X0 [Rated M, 15572 words, incomplete, last updated Jan. 2022]
Unkind and ever familiar, that anger Lola had triggered earlier returned with sharp teeth and without mercy. He would rip his time from their hands by force, like he’d been doing every day since he was born. Lola was clever as the devil, but Neil had been raised through the loopholes. She couldn’t hurt his Foxes if she was dead. Or Neil is much more dangerous than anyone gives him credit for.
tw: graphic depictions of violence, tw: torture, tw: blood/gore, tw: alcohol, tw: drugs
NB: fic art of post-torture Neil by @kazzyboy here
Maybe a Mobster by definitely_not_loki [Rated M, 1558 words, complete, 2022]
Neil Josten had transferred at the beginning of this season, and sure he'd been a nightmare for the team, but not in the "I was raised by a serial killer" kind of way. He was hard on the team—way harder than anyone had been before—and he wasn't even the captain. He was just some rookie striker from South Carolina. Most of the time she forgot he was anything but a rookie striker, but then someone would ask about his scars or call him a different name. Those were the few moments she remembered he wasn't just an asshole. He was an asshole with a past. So when The Event happened, she was terrified, horrified beyond all reason, but she was not surprised. Or, Neil is a badass motherfucker.
tw: violence, tw: blood
Neil has some bad habits. by evelynreads23 [Not Rated, 1068 words, complete, 2022]
Neil learnt things when he was young, how to wield a knife, how to hide a body. He was doing good and not thinking about it until someone was telling him he was a fan of the butcher. He was in a haze afterwards and freaked when Jack was being an asshole. This is Neil going to his roots but staying Neil, protecting Andrew and the foxes and not having fun when his past is brought up. Read at your own risk! :)
tw: violence, tw: blood, tw: implied/referenced torture, tw: homophobia, tw: panic attacks
Dart Boards and Knife Fights by clumsylittlewriter [Rated T, 2983 words, complete, 2022]
"As if in sync, both of them dropped down into fighting stances and tensed their muscles. 'I apologize in advance if I end up killing you,' Nathaniel said, his voice dangerously quiet. Natalie threw her head back and released a sharp peal of laughter, more malicious than anything Andrew had ever heard from her. 'Don’t get cocky, Butcher-boy,' she taunted, her eyes glittering with vicious glee. The Butcher’s smile reappeared on his partner’s face." (a game of darts reminds Andrew that Neil was raised by someone fascinated with knives)
All the masks I've left behind by SagaEllen [Rated T, 1879 words, complete, 2021]
Neil does not cry. Aaron asks for help. And everything is such a mess.
tw: knives, tw: violence
all for his foxes by Olympyas [Not Rated, 2469 words, complete, 2021]
If he wanted to defend his family Neil wouldn't be enough, but someone else would, just this time, just for them. This is how Nathaniel opened the door and managed to stop the knife threw at him. And that was familiar, It even became a reflex by now. They taught him. Lola taught him in a way he wouldn't be able to forget. Lola and Romero come for Neil directly at Palmetto and Neil defends his family.
tw: violence, tw: implied/referenced rape/noncon, tw: blood, tw: knives

Dead Ringer by HalloweenReaper [Rated E, 18892 words, incomplete, last updated Nov. 2023]
“Potential.” Riko slammed Neil against the wall again and whirled on Kevin. Kevin stared back at him, white-faced and tense. “You said that goalkeeper had potential and then wrote him off as useless when I offered him to you....” - The Foxhole Court, Ch. 13. Nathaniel was given to Ichirou as his private hitman after his skills as a marksman were revealed when the Moriyama tracked him and his mother down after they ran away. Riko decided to surprise Kevin with matching “pets” after he found out the goalkeeper Kevin was interested in had a twin. When Nathaniel is ordered to join the Ravens for a year to cover for a series of hits, his smart mouth meets Andrew’s prickly attitude and things get interesting.
tw: abuse, tw: violence, tw: implied/referenced torture, tw: animal abuse, tw: panic attacks
Different Roads by frankelled [Rated T, 33944 words, incomplete, last updated Oct. 2023]
Nathaniel became Ichirou's 2nd when he was 10 years old. To protect Nathaniel from becoming a target no one can know, which leaves him in the Nest. When Kevin's hand breaks Nathaniel is in charge of protecting him from Riko, but now in Palmetto
tw: violence, tw: injuries, tw: implied/referenced abuse, tw: panic attacks
Andrew's Regret by pandaseek [Not Rated, 13860 words, incomplete, last updated Oct. 2023]
“The first three were all former foster parents of Andrew.” Piggins continued, unable to take a hint from the frosty office he’d admitted these things too. “No.” Aaron panicked, staring at Andrew in disbelief. “Andrew has never been…!” Wymack shifted his weight on the filing cabinet, reaching down to grab his trash can and passing it across Andrew in time for Aaron to grab it and spew a cascade of vile liquid into it, while Andrew pushed his chair onto its back legs and avoided all eye contact with those in the cramped office. Andrew knew who did this. The only person who had ever willingly gone to bat for him. A person he had mistakenly believed to be dead long ago; this was proof to the contrary. Except… Except that there was one name missing. - A prompt from Justthislazy, based on my original Lifeline, that I just had to pick up and run with. Thank you for the amazing idea!

I'm An Accountant by boomba77 [Not Rated, 24101 words, incomplete, last updated Oct. 2023]
Abram Hatford is an accountant. A legitimate accountant. He may work for an infamous crime family, but his hands have been clean for years (of blood, at least). He is a translator and an accountant. He flies under the radar, his existence hidden from the public by his family, and he prefers it that way. For him, the words ‘safe’ and ‘unknown’ are synonymous. So, when one of the Hatford empire’s more lucrative businesses begins stirring up the wrong kind of attention and losing money as a result, the Hatfords require discretion and brains. Their elusive Abram is the only person for the job. Andrew Minyard is a part-time server at a random diner and a part-time bartender at The Den, where he spends most of his time drinking what he’s supposed to be serving. It isn’t until strange things start happening around the club that Andrew decides to pay a bit more attention to the shady shit going on at his work. And then, when a stranger shows up looking for work with a perfect resume and a symmetrical face, Andrew finds his suspicion, and his interest, double. All of the death and destruction is bad, sure, but at least it’s interesting. OR Waiting for death is not living.

Rheostat by NeilfuckingJosten [Rated M, 14315 words, incomplete, last updated Aug 2023]
Nathaniel Wesninski, alias Neil Josten is finally out of the Nest and into the world of professional exy. Deadly, smart and worse than his father, Nathaniel will bring a storm into Andrew's quiet world. AKA, they meet in the pro's.
tw: violence, tw: implied/referenced rape/noncon, tw: implied/referenced abuse
I Was Ruined From The Start by BrokenPineTree [Rated M, 39021 words, incomplete, last updated April 2023]
Neil’s grin is audible as he replies. "Riko’s antics getting outed to the public would make him a liability. And I do remember telling you that threats need to be dealt with accordingly." Kevin's stomach lurches into his throat with the conclusions he jumps to. "So, you’re gonna go back to the Nest?" He asks quietly. Slowly. Unsure how to feel about Neil putting himself in that situation again. He can't do that, right? He has other things to worry about now. Neil hums disapprovingly. "Try again," He offers. Kevin does. "You're... coming to Palmetto?" The au where Kevin doesn't have full confidence in Andrew's ability to stand between him and his lurking demons after only spending a few months at Palmetto. But with the dangerous card itching to emerge from under his sleeve, does he really need to?

Day 3: Damnation
Another one for @hazbinocxcanon (I forgot to post last night) but I decided to draw my two different AUs for this one.
The AU on the left is one me and @dracobrooklyn came up with before. Its more of a role swap AU but where Adam and Eve (my version of her at least) swap places, where she's the exterminator. And Adam being the one who got banished from Heaven. Pretty much demon Adam, but he was always a sinner.
He's still the same pervy asshole just not as horrible as Angel Adam was. Let's say, when he met Lucy in this AU (she fell from heaven by accident since she got lost), he sparks an interest in her. He only wants to redeem himself at the Hazbin Hotel so he can get closer to Lucy. Basically, he changes in this AU due the sweet and docile angel girl. It's going be more of a cheesy rom com story with redemption.
The AU on the left is something I thought of myself that I want to base off of Easy A. Where Lucy is fallen all thanks to rumors back in heaven and how she got tired of their strict rules. She's a lot more flirty, sarcastic, and playful as a fallen angel here. (she just wears horn headband and fake devil wings to feel cute)
Lucy is actually madly in love with Adam in this AU and wants to tempt him to sin. To live a sinful life of passion and fun, yet Adam keep resisting... But they often have their secret meetup for their private affairs. But of course, He's trying so hard to keep this a secret if they caught him sleeping with a traitor.
I'm gonna just say these two AUs are VERY different from the actual Adam and Lucy story fit the canon timeline.
But that's what I got; I'll probably clean this doodle in the future. Its just been a busy day for me to color and do lineart.

This is a special post for my favorite TBOSAS author: @julietasgf better known to everyone as that genius who has amazing headcanons about the Plinth family and the history - culture of District 2, but she has done so much more!!!
The incredible series.
1. character study — the plinths
a bunch of character studies about the plinth family, specially ma plinth and sejanus plinth, and their problematic relationships with the men around them. also, a bunch of headcanons
.
(Highlight to"Carcará." THE STRABO PLINTH FIC)
2. you're free to have everything you can see (all that you want from me)
sejanus was naive. coriolanus was ambitious. in the end, it was predator and prey.
[omegaverse | omega sejanus | alpha coriolanus]
.
(Highlight this the original President Snow x First Husband Sejanus au ☝️)
3. sejanus/marcus — one-shots
The name explains it by itself but there are wonderful fanfics of this beautiful ship here
.
(Highlight to "The conversation," more sweet fic on earth)
Now some incredible stand alone pieces she have made:
1. pray for your salvation (from damnation)
Sejanus Plinth was just a tormented and lonely boy, with a father who despises him, classmates who detest him even more, and who had a brief, fleeting moment of happiness before his life was destroyed. Lucy Gray Baird is the new and charismatic student in the small town of Panem, who has nothing but good intentions and a heart of gold. Despite this, as much as all of Lucy Gray's intentions were the best, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
(Or THAT CARRIE AU WE ALL NEED!!)
2. ptolomea
overnight, the lives of topaz and their pa change completely. and topaz thinks they don't like these changes
(THIS SO NICHE BUT IT HAVE HORROR. IT HAVE UNRELIABLE NARRATOR AND SEJANUS WITH A BABY 😔👆!!!)
3. i've made some real big mistakes (but you make the worst one look fine)
3 times sejanus had reasons to think coriolanus was his friend + 1 time he realized he was just too desperate to make friends to actually see the red flags
(🥺 A proof that she nail Sejanus pov so HARD)
4. raise your hand if you've been personally victimized by coriolanus snow.
lucy gray and sejanus form an alliance to make coriolanus' life miserable
(This fun as hell because vicó ITS THAT TALENT)
5. but tonight you belong to me (just to little old me).
Accompany Coriolanus Snow's path on therapy to become a better partner and make his poor, depressed, ungrateful husband finally happy.
(☺️ Another proof on vicó being such a GOOD WRITER... She can provoke traumas)

Update + New Stories [Repost]
[This was posted a week ago but something ended up being wrong with my account and it was like I was shadowbanned. So this is a repost of that post and hopefully people can finally see it!]
Hello! It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I’ve come back with some (hopefully) exciting news.
I’ve gotten my ‘creative’ spark back so I’ve come back to write some more. I’ve got two new stories (one is a continuation) that I will start posting very soon and they will be on a posting schedule (so I don’t leave you waiting again for months for a new chapter). These stories have been (mostly) written in advance to stay on top of posting. I don’t have a posting schedule for them yet, but I will let you know when I do.
On Monday, I will finally be posting the extra smutty chapter for The Lost Child.
Thank you to everyone who has enjoyed my work and I hope you enjoy these as well! Also, thank you to everyone who has commented on my work or messaged me privately! I really enjoy reading your messages whether it’s something simple as shock over twist, asking how I’m doing, or letting me know that you like what you’re reading.
I will post another update next week as to what the posting schedule will look like for my two new works and when I will start posting those (very soon I promise).
Here’s what you have to look forward to:
[Monday (6/10/24) at 8PM] The Lost Child: Smutty Bonas Chapter
[Soon] The Beast of War: In the aftermath of discovering her true identity and reuniting with her long-lost family, Y/N Stilinski finds herself adjusting to a new chapter of her life in Beacon Hills. With her brother and his friends in their senior year at High School, the town faces a fresh new threat. Y/N must navigate the complexities of her new life while confronting the looming threat that threatens to hurt her and the people she loves.
Note: ‘Book 2’ of the Shadow Wolf Series happens between the end of the last chapter of The Lost Child and the Epilogue.
[Soon] All The Good Girls Go To Hell: It’s been a year since the war ended. Cedric Diggory is found dead—and in debt to The Damnation. His sister, Y/N Diggory, offers to take her brother’s place in The Damnation to pay off his debt, but things become complicated when she starts to develop feelings for the two handsome leaders.
Pairing: Y/N Diggory x Fred Weasley, Y/N Diggory x George Weasley (separately, not together because I will not write that)
Note: The OC version will be posted on Wattpad. This is a Harry Potter AU that will be very smutty! ;)
Let me know what you'd like to tagged in! :)

𝟚:𝟘𝟘 𝕒𝕞 Yandere!Childe x reader Assassin's AU
Synopsis: The Tsaritsa sends two of her finest assassins to take out the head of the Kamisato clan. It's funny how repressed emotions and forgotten memories resurface at the worst times.
Note: Leave a comment, let me know what you think.
Editor: The amazing @tealyjade-libran
🧡🔸️🧡🔸️🧡🔸️🧡🔸️🧡🔸️🧡🔸️🧡🔸️🧡🔸️
2 am
Nothing good happens after 2 am. Childe is starting to wonder if that's true. You lie on the floor, eyes muddled with sorrow with abhorrence, with madness untamed. A vodka bottle lays limp in your hand, drained of its essence, drained of its purpose. He wonders if that's symbolic if you feel the same as the empty glass.
You are here to serve your purpose, and so is he. It's as simple as that.
Or maybe it's not.
His hands reach out to touch you. To feel you. Yet you're two whole eternities away. Your face looks like oblivion, like damnation, like the abyss he misses with all his shattered soul.
1:00 pm
Inazuma is purple. The fallen sakura leaves, the glimmer in the air, the glow of lightening in the distance.
It's all purple.
And all too familiar.
Childe's gun is loaded, finger flirting with the trigger. The sun's rays bounce off the shimmering tiles of a traditional estate. You're here to kill the head of some clan whose influence has begun to annoy the Tsaritsa. It should be quick, a bullet through the heart, and then you're done.
It's easy, you've done this countless times before.
So why does your whole body quake when you see him?
His lips are painted into a practiced smile. Eyes shimmering with a fakeness that revives dead memories.
You know him, from another lifetime.
Another life when you'd been a normal girl who'd fallen in love with a not-so-normal boy.
Childe pulls the trigger.
You scream.
3:00 am
Thunder cracks outside and Childe thinks he might love you. Actually love you. Something akin to freshly splatted blood and the smell of a newly made handgun.
Sometimes he dreams of home, a home where you and him can pretend to be normal. Somewhere warm with sugar-tainted kisses and early morning "I love yous". Things that are sweet, romantic, domestic.
He doubts it'll ever happen.
1:01 pm
Ayato's body lies limp on the dirt. His sister kneels beside his corpse screaming incomprehensible verbiage that tugs at your heartstrings.
She cries and you do too.
Childe's fingers find their way to your head, fingers dancing across your hairline.
"I knew him" you mutter. How could you have been so stupid, so arrogant? You hadn't even asked who the target was when Childe told you there was a new mission. You'd nodded and followed him. Like the obedient vessel they had turned you into.
"I know" he replies, sickening mirth in his soft whisper.
3:05 am
The hotel room smells of cigarettes and cheap liquor. Somehow it feels right.
This isn't the first time and it's far from the last. Regardless you can't understand why your heart ache like the end of times is approaching.
Childe's blue eyes are the first thing you see when you wake up from your alcohol-induced coma. It's funny how he looks so much like your previous lover. It's funny how he looks so different. Maybe all boys are the same, maybe boys with soft blue eyes and tongues full of lies always find their way to you.
1:54 pm
There's blood on his hands again.
There's blood on your hands again.
But this time it feels like the first time you see Ajax, -really see him- for all his fractured bones and bleeding heart. You see the weight he carries on his shoulders the burden of expectation that goes unnoticed by all.
You're assassins, you're paid to get the job done. Hired with high expectations and everything you love on the line. You sleep with guns under your pillows and knives strapped to your chest.
If he fails he loses his family. Mother, father, siblings. He has people he cares for, people he needs to keep safe.
You've already failed, but you're sure the Tsaritsa already knows what you hold dear even if you don't yourself. She won't hesitate to crush it. You just wish you knew what 'it' was.
People say you fall in love with someone whose demons play well with yours. Maybe you're in love with him. Maybe he's in love with you.
3:44 am
Maybe the two of you are both destined for misery. It's the only conclusion Childe can draw as he closes the distance between the two of you. Your lips feel warm, a side effect of the alcohol coursing through your veins no doubt.
"I love you" he mutters and it feels like a death threat. Like a knife pointed at your throat.
"I love you" you reply, it feels like a confession for all your sins.
A part of him wants to kill you, to preserve you. But you are just his partner and assassins aren't meant to get attached. Still, he longs for you. Yearning for the day when neither of you are bound by duty and past regrets.
2:00 pm
Childe offers you a cup of sake. You chug down the bottle. It's potent and burns its way down. It's divine punishment you think, although you're sure that Inazuma's archon has long since stopped caring for her people.
Childe pulls out two bottles of Vodka, souvenirs from your home, reminders of your duty.
You guzzle down the clear liquid while Childe takes slow sips, he's relishing in your agony you think. That's fine, he can take it as a token of your ill-placed romance.
You remember the pleasantries of your old life. You remember being someone important. Now you are only second to your new archon. You control the lives of all others. Yet in the end, it's not you who decides who lives or dies.
4:00 am
"If I ever long to kill you, will you be willing to die?" Ajax's blades are at your throat, cool water splashing against your skin. This is heaven you think, this is love. His legs cage you under him and for a second you mistake him for an archon.
"Of course, I love you too much to deny you such pleasures" It's the truth you think, albeit it doesn't matter. Who can stop the bloodthirsty Tartaglia when he's set his sights on his newest victim?
Ajax kisses you and you kiss back.
You've long since shed the old you, the finance of someone important and revered.
You much prefer your role as a servant to Snezhnaya.

so since I've now posted all of my @yearoftheotpevent fics, I figured I'd make one compilation post of them. here's my year of nivannedy!
January: good to be prepared
Leon gets stuck in a snow storm when his car breaks down, and a handsome stranger saves him from the roadside. Of course they hit it off, but only later they realize they actually do know of each other.
February: 'cause you know the love we have is always gonna be
Finally Piers and Leon get married, surrounded by their loved ones, in their very own home. It's been a long road, they've deserved their happy ending.
March: at the shore of the unknown
The end of the world comes quietly, almost secretly, despite them fighting it all these years. But even if the world is ending, Leon and Piers find each other, and their story is only beginning.
April: I crave therefore I am
Piers has been half in love with Leon for as long as he can remember, but no matter how much he's pining, he's not going to be the kind of a dick who tries to come between Leon's current relationship. Except that relationship is not exactly as real as he's been lead to believe.
May: as long as you'll have me
Leon gets infected on a mission, and although there is a known cure, the cure fucking sucks. At least, after Leon alarms him with a few incoherent texts, Piers is there to help him through the worst of it.
June: you're a dream
Piers has been dreaming of his soulmate ever since he was eleven years old, and not even the continuous stream of monsters can keep him from finding whoever that is. Of course, nothing in life can ever be that simple.
July: that heaven in your eyes
Piers and Leon have some honeymoon fun by the lake. It's exactly what they wanted.
August: light in the darkest place
Leon and Piers grew up together, and when at twenty-one they both got a job at the RPD they thought it was a giant stroke of luck. They had no idea their first day was going to be one hell of a long day.
September: all the tears and the fears and the lies and the cries of the past
Krauser kidnaps Leon on Wesker’s orders to use as bait. Things get messy.
October: before I even knew your name
Leon gets an accidental text sent into the wrong number and it ends up changing his life for the better. They might both suck at flirting, especially through text, but that doesn't matter when inexplicably they're still into each other.
November: right from the start
Leon gets some unexpected backup on his rogue mission in the Eastern Slav Republic. Later, he might just have to thank Chris for sending Piers in. Especially as he learns he and Piers work together well in more ways than one.
December: a merry little christmas (make the yuletide gay)
Piers and Leon and their first holidays as a married couple in their own home. Of course with a visit from the Redfields.
I am both incredibly content that I managed to write something for all of the months (even though two of these fics are still technically unfinished, for the Damnation au I haven't posted the last chapter and for the RE2 au I still need to write the rest of it) and really really happy with how they turned out :3
#nivannedy#me and my fics#my fics#my nivannedy fics#i'm gonna make another compilation#of ALL the fic i wrote this year#but i figured these deserved their own post :3

Foreign King AU
Chapter 3 - A Meeting of Kings
Every sense of mine was on edge.
There was no promise that the lamb would show, much less talk instead of taking my head. Last we met, I took the green crown and killed them, sending them back to their cult. But they recently crusaded through Darkwood. They didn’t harm any of my people, but they are still rattled by the idea that the lamb might come for them.
I need to reassure them it is safe. The easiest way would be to stop the lambs' rampage. In Darkwood at least. Trying to keep them out entirely is impossible. And killing them every day is not a better solution either. They would just keep coming until they managed to defeat me. I doubt it would take them long.
They have already bested two bishops, and are well on their way to three. First Leshy, my unfortunate predecessor. Then Heket of Anura, whose cult is tearing themselves apart in that mushroom forest or is here in Darkwood, seeking refuge from the lamb’s fury. Now the lamb is going after Kallamar in Anchordeep.
The fool sent an envoy earlier this week. Asked if I would join the fight against the lamb. I’m no fool. I don’t seek to join him in his damnation. I don’t guard a chain for The One Who Waits, so the lamb has no reason to hunt me. Peace is still an option…I hope.
One of the followers alerts me that the lamb has arrived, with the lamb approaching behind them.
I tell my people to leave us. They will keep others away, but will be out of sight and too far to overhear. This is a matter between gods…and the lamb is less likely to put up a facade with us alone. As the guards spread out to secure the perimeter, I welcome the lamb and thank them for meeting me here.
I chose not to have the meeting in the temple, for obvious reasons, but kept it to Darkwood for security. While Anura would be neutral territory, keeping the area clear would be a hassle. Instead, I found this place. A ruined home, long abandoned by whoever was here. The only building standing in what was clearly a small village. Simple, Secure, and Discreet.
I salvaged a table and chairs from the town ruins. I gesture to the lamb to take a seat. They haven’t spoken a word, and continue to remain silent as they sit. Not the greatest sign, but they seem willing to talk. I take the seat opposite and decide to break the tension.
“...you already know why I requested you come here, Lamb.” I begin, “I may have taken the crown of Darkwood, but I have no interest in the Old Faith or its ways. The chain remains broken, Leshy’s cult; disbanded. There is no reason for us to behave like animals.”
The Lamb’s face remains blank, but their eyes betray their anger. It would seem they haven’t forgo- “last we met, traitor, you plunged a knife into my throat.” As predicted, they are still upset about that.
I take a quick breath before explaining myself. “In all fairness, you were trying to kill me. Not only after I took the crown, but I suspect long beforehand.” The lamb’s eyes narrow, their stoic facade giving way to a frown. “What are you accusing me of?” They asked, almost as if playing dumb will erase things.
“You know damn well what I’m saying, lamb. I didn’t see a lick of evidence that you planned to send me home at the end of the month. .” I tried to remain professional, but my anger was plain as day. “If there was any reason to trust you, I wouldn’t be stuck with this crown right now. The native people of this land may be primed to trust anyone who feeds them a berry or two, but I’m. Not. Fooled. You were hoping to either have me killed or sacrificed since I wouldn’t bend the knee.” I should have held my tongue, at least a little. Yelling at the lamb will not make them willing to negotiate. And I don’t want to have to turn the old temple into a fortress, not that such would be possible in swift fashion.
The lamb closed their eyes for a second, lowering their head ...before letting out a brief chuckle. It was unnerving, hearing them laugh for the first time. “If I wanted you dead the entire time, I would not have let you leave at all. I was hoping you would fall in line like the rest. Clearly, I should have staged a little accident when I sent you out on that mission. It would have been so much easier than trying to recruit you.” The lamb opened their eyes, returning my gaze with a smirk. “As you said, most of the people in these lands are gullible. They desire a leader. A god to give them all they want, and take all they have to offer. It is the way of the world. Some are born to rule, and others to be ruled. I should have known I had summoned a fellow ruler, rather than a simple follower. That was my mistake.”
I wanted to punch the lamb in the face for that comment. The same bullshit every evil leader uses to excuse their behavior. Divine right this, born to rule that. All lies. If it weren’t for the crown, that is. While everyone else who says those things are just egotistical, the crown does give him divine right to rule. As mine does for me.
I shook my head a bit, both in disagreement and to shake off the shiver of fear that chuckle had put in me. “Regardless, Lamb, there is no reason to stay at each other’s throats. I am not a threat to your plan, and you have nothing to gain from slaying me. The bishops are your priority. So, I brought you here to discuss the option of peace.”
“Peace?” the Lamb’s face dropped back into a frown, “you killed me once without hesitation and went behind my back to reignite the crown. You could have left. I’m sure there is some way out of these lands if you look. But no…you ran to Shamura. You made yourself a threat.”
“TO KEEP YOU IN CHECK!” I interrupted, standing and slamming my hands on the old table between us. “You and your damned master are the real threat here! You preach about destroying the Old Faith, but what you are replacing it with is no better. I am here to hold you accountable for your actions. I bear the crown because it is the only thing that could possibly harm you and The One Below. I did this…” I paused, regaining my composure. I sat back down in my chair before continuing. “I did this cause I still have my soul, while you sold yours for revenge, lamb. I may not know these people, but you promised a new future. I am here to deliver it, should you fail to do so. Nothing more.” I silently cursed my short temper. Too much information for too little gain. The lamb was many things, but they were no fool either. I’m sure they wanted to rile me up. I can’t let them get to me.
“Look, I just want a formal agreement to calm down my followers. If you agree to stop crusading in Darkwood, I’ll let any missionaries you send our way stay at the temple unharmed. They can even set up a little shrine to you outside, so long as they cause no trouble. Sound fair?” I extended my hand to the lamb. I doubt it would ever be this easy, but the longer this goes on, the more likely things will escalate.
The lamb looked at my hand, then back to me. Their face had returned to it’s neutral demeanor. “So you mean to bar me from Darkwood? You think I cannot end you with ease?”
Now it was my turn to chuckle. “I never said that. But carving a path through here every time you need some camellia is causing trouble. And you have bigger fish to fry. Leave the remnants of Leshy’s cult to me. And your people can come get all the flowers you need from us. Now, deal or no deal? My arm is getting tired.” I shook my arm a little to emphasize my point. After a moment of silence, the lamb shook my hand.
And then they pulled me up across the table. “This does NOT make us allies.” I pulled myself away from them. “No. no, it doesn’t. So long as we are not enemies, I am fine with that.”
And with that, the lamb simply turned and left the way they came. Hopefully they will stick to their word. But I have other matters to attend to. Between the refugees and the loyalists of Leshy, my hands are overflowing with problems.
The crown may prevent the need for sleep…but I already feel tired.

5. King!MC (Heartslabyul) - Robbery
6. Diviner!MC (Octavinelle) - Fraud
7. ???!MC (Diasomnia) - Breaking and entering
Not sure about King!MC and Diviner!MC tbh but I think robbery is a bigger crime(?) than fraud idk, kidnapping could also be Vassal!MC but I feel like assault suits them better
Anyway, I absolutely love your damnation au, I keep re-reading the first three results because they're just so good (I got Diviner on my first take but my favorite is King of hearts). I'm looking forward to reading more of your works shiny <3 enjoy your day <3333
Ohhh, okay, okay. It seems like many people can partly agree on which mc committed what, but of course everyone's list I've seen so far is a little different.
Hopefully I can finish a few more results soon, but we'll have to see what happens.
