Notes: This has to be the fastest I've uploaded an update AHAHA also quick heads up I updated the OC Guide

Disclaimer: This series is originally by @fandom-meanderer who is a close friend of mine, but she has since fallen out of her Tumblr days and asked me to finish a few series for her, hence why I am now in ownership of the Not Your Classic Vigilante series, I hope I can still live up to her writing as I rewrite this series! (I promise not to change too much, hehe)

2015

“I’m home,” your keys hung loosely from your hands. “Hello?” Usually, you would’ve been greeted by at least Alfred. “Timmy? Cass?” Still, no response. “Well, what the fuck,” you shrugged and trudged upstairs. The manor was unnervingly quiet today, and you knew well enough that there was something amiss. Then, finally, you heard a conversation just ahead.

“I apologize if it’s a little cramped,” Alfred remarks. You stuck your head in. “Ah, Miss (Y/N), welcome home.”

“Hey, Alfred,” you looked at the child in front of you. “Huh… they get younger every year,” you crossed your arms.

“And who the hell are you?” He snarks. “A maid?”

“Oh, and he’s feisty,” you leaned against the door frame. “What’s your story then? Orphaned? Stole tires? Figured him out?” You went down the line and counted on your hands.

“Not necessarily,” your dad walks in from behind you and you jumped in your shoes.

“Hello to you too,” you rolled your eyes.

“(Y/N), this is Damian,” your father introduces him. “He’s your brother.” Your eyes widened. You looked at Damian again and, now that you really thought of it, you could see the resemblance to older pictures of your dad.

“Half brother, I’m guessing,” you added.

“Right. This will be his home from now on, help him get adjusted,” your father places the luggage in his hands down. “But, I’m not too worried about you.”

“Huh, have you told Dick yet?”

“He got here half an hour ago.”

“Oh, well, I guess I’ll clean up whatever mess happens,” you pushed off of the door now. “It’s nice to meet you, Damian, let’s get to know each other better later once you’re finished unpacking. I know a great arcade in the city you might like,” you adjusted your backpack and crossed the hall to your room. You leaned your backpack against your desk and went straight to work. The college application deadline was fast approaching and you had to be on top of it, then exam season was also following in its heels so you had to remain vigilant of that.

“So what exactly is your role, then?” Damian’s voice came behind you. You ignored the way your heart stopped from shock and turned around after taking a deep breath. You'd never get used to being snuck up on, even after having to deal with your brothers.

��Heiress. You?”

“You? Heir to what? The Batman title?” He was seated on your bed with his arms crossed.

“Oh no, no way, heiress to Wayne Industries of course,” you corrected him. “I have no intentions of doing whatever vigilante work dad or any of you usually do,” you crossed your arms and shook your head.

“You’re pulling my leg.”

“No, sir, I am not,” you nudged your head toward the desk behind you. “Plus I have more important things to worry about.”

“So you have no formal training at all?” Damian asks with heavy skepticism.

“I mean, I have basic combat skills that I learned from Dick and Jason, but that’s about it, just enough to handle my own, but not enough to do any vigilante work,” your eyes shifted to the side in thought. “Why?”

“I find it hard to believe that anyone would pass up an opportunity to become stronger.”

“I’m stronger in my own way, thank you very much,” you rolled your eyes and turned back around to your desk. “If you need anything else, just let me know. We’re siblings so I’ll always be happy to help you out,” you opened your laptop and started typing up one of your college essays. Damian didn’t respond, and when you looked back to check on him, he was gone. “They get stranger every time too…” you mumbled right as Dick sent a text to the sibling group chat.

‘THERE’S ANOTHER ONE?!’ You chuckled and shook your head.

‘Yeah.’ Tim’s response was blunt and your heart suddenly sank. Especially when just moments later his contact name appeared across your screen. You answered without hesitation.

“Hey, Timmy, what’s up?” You asked.

“Hey, sis, are you busy right now?”

“Just working on college applications, but I have plenty of time, where are you?”

“Let’s grab a coffee together, my treat! I just want someone to talk to right now.”

“Of course, Tim, I’ll be right over, our usual spot, right?”

“Yeah, I’ll save us a table. Drive safe, (Y/N).”

“Yeah, yeah, I’m heading out now, bye!”

“See you.” He hung up first and you grabbed your things before heading out of your room. Damian, meanwhile, kicked off from the wall next to your room.

“Where are you going?” He asks. You toss him a quick glance and a shrug.

“Out, why?”

“Out to patrol, right?” He presses. You shake your head.

“Nope, I already told you, I don’t do that stuff,” you walked down the stairs and he followed.

“Not even like Gordon?”

“Uh… Mr. Gordon or Babs?” You ask.

“Barbara.”

“No, I’m not too versed in tech, not on her level at least,” you grabbed your keys. “I’d invite you to join me, but I’m meeting up with Tim so maybe next time,” you tossed them in your hand now.

“For an intel report?”

“Why are you so set on me being a vigilante? I want nothing to do with that stuff, Damian,” you turned to him now. What was so hard for him to understand that you just weren’t a fighting person?

“It’s just…” Damian stops. You realized now how small he was, he couldn’t have been older than ten. “My… our father is the Batman. My mother is Talia al Ghul and yours is Selina Kyle.” Huh, he did his research. “I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that you’re wasting your potential. Why would you choose to be ordinary when you could be extraordinary?” He asks. You hummed and crossed your arms, what a way to put your decision down and by a child no less. You didn’t know Damian well at all, you’d just met him today and here he was putting your life on blast.

“Well, I guess that’s something we’ll both find out together later, huh? I’ll see you later, Damian,” you cut the conversation off and walked down to the garage. This time, Damian didn’t follow you.

2022

“I’m sorry you had to come here while it’s in this state, Damian,” you grimaced. You start moving around the apartment to tidy it up at least a little, “as you can tell, we’re not usually home,” you start piling beer bottles in your arms and tossing them in the bin. “I’ll be back, their majesties call,” you said with an annoyed tone before disappearing into one of the rooms.

“It feels like I have a massive hangover,” Nixon whines as he collapses on the couch.

“I think all my ribs are broken,” Carter mutters next to him.

“It’s not a competition, boy scout,” Nixon groans. “Alex?” He looks over at him.

“Get in line,” Alex finishes up wrapping Eve’s hands with fresh bandages.

“The fact that you two can both self-heal is fucking bullshit,” Nixon cries.

“It’s actually reattachment, which is much more painful than regen,” Alex replies, “Damian, come over here, (Y/N) would kill me if she saw so much as a scratch,” he gestures to the chair and Damian sits down hesitantly. “I don’t think you remember me.”

“I don’t.”

“Blunt, much?” Nixon snickers.

“I was penpals with your sister,” he rolls the bandages over Damian’s arms. “Nothing more, we had a thousand miles between us and your sister had a reply period of two business weeks,” he rolls his eyes. “Oh, Evangeline, could you look around if we have something for the lad to eat? When was the last time he ate anything?”

“When he scarfed down my lunch two days ago,” Nixon answers.

“Has it been two days?” Alex taps his head. The time period he’s been here had gone by in a blur. He didn’t even realize it had been that long at all. Landing here on this Earth, nearly being eaten alive by god knows what, and waiting in the cold dirt floors of the regroup encampment, before finally landing here. He wondered how many people went into battle because there were only fourteen people who made it to the encampment.

“I’m not hungry,” Damian cuts in. Just thinking of the brief moment he’d seen the aftermath of the battle nearly turned his stomach inside out.

“It’s not that, Damian, look at your hands,” Alex starts opening drawers and cabinets. Damian looks down and feels his throat go dry. His hands seemed nearly transparent as if he could stick them through anything and they’d easily go through.

“Explain, now!”

“This Earth’s protective spell is rejecting you since you’re not from here, eating anything from here will bypass that spell and make it seem like you’re native,” Alex opened the fridge. One beer and one egg.

“How old are you again, Damian?” Alex asks.

“Sixteen.”

“That’s old enough,” he took the bottle and hit the cap on the counter. The cap bounced off with a quiet clink and he handed it to Damian.

“He’s a child!” Eve gasps.

“Would you like to eat a raw egg, Damian?” He asks. Damian shakes his head. “Bottoms up then,” he hands the beer bottle to him.

“Wow, you two really live like this,” Nixon groans.

“How do you still have the energy to be an asshole?” Carter asks him.

“My sister surrounded herself with idiots,” Damian says with a quarter-finished bottle of beer. Just in time for you to walk out in a cleaner uniform. You adjusted your gloves over your hand.

“Oh, you gave my baby brother a beer,” you observed. “You could’ve given him the egg, you know.”

“You broke both our pot and pan,” Alex reminds you.

“In self-defense,” you grabbed your keys off the counter. “How you holding up, kiddo, tired? Hungry?”

“Confused,” Damian watched the color return to his hands.

“Wow, you two really are siblings, huh?” Nixon asks.

“I know, you think they’re idiots, it’s fine, come on, I have to take you with me,” you nudged your head toward the door and waited for Damian to follow. “Someone already reported Damian to her majesty, she’s demanding an explanation and I have about half an hour to bullshit a good one.”

“Oh, man, she’s going to give you hell, (Y/N),” Nixon’s laugh turns into a groan of pain.

“Dumbass,” you rolled your eyes. “Come on, Damian, I’ll explain everything on the way,” you gestured for him to stand up and he did so. “Eve, do me a solid, can you warp us to the castle?”

“Of course,” she places her hand on her heart and bows slightly before waving her hand in a circular motion. A portal opens up next to her and inside Damian could see the faint traces of a regal room on the other side.

“You head in first, Dami,” you urged him in, and, carefully, he stepped through and landed in what looked like a waiting room. He turned around and saw a distorted version of your apartment within the vortex’s walls.

“What are you going to do about him, (Y/N)?” Alex asks.

“Get him home, obviously. But not now, the royal family is watching him because some idiot reported him as a survivor,” you shook your head. “I’ll figure it out.”

“Until then, he’d going to have to act.”

“I know, that’s what I’m worried about. I'm just trying to make sure he doesn't freak out,” you said before you finally stepped through and it swirled closed. “Okay so…” you looked Damian over, “I asked his highness for a favor, you can’t go in wearing your uniform,” you brushed the ashes off of his shoulder. Then, behind you, there is a knock at the door.

“Captain? May I come in?” Calvin’s voice was only loud enough for those in the room to hear.

“Door’s open.” The prince slid in with a bundle of clothes in his hands.

“Oh, goodness, when I heard you’d brought back a child with you I didn’t think the rumors were serious,” Calvin stares at Damian for a moment longer before turning to you. “These should fit him, I think, it’s the uniform we give to the wards when they’re still training.”

“I know what these are, I usually hand them out anyway,” you shrugged. “Damian, this is His Highness the Crown Prince, Calvin Reinhart. Your Highness, this is my younger brother, Damian Wayne.”

“I see, there is a subtle aura to you both that I now understand runs in the family,” he says vaguely. You handed the clothes to Damian.

“Get changed into those, kiddo, then we’ll talk,” you nodded.

“Comfort room is just across the hall,” Calvin points in its general direction with two fingers and Damian turns to you. You just nodded your head again and he left, just barely catching the conversation behind him. “I never took you as one to pick up a ward.”

“He’s in my care for the time being and he’s interested in Knighthood.” Your voices fell silent as soon as he closed the door behind him. He looked at himself in the mirror for a brief moment, spotting the scars and the healed-over gashes as well as the bandages, before slipping on the fresher pair of clothes. He folded his tattered uniform carefully, the encircled R staring back at him as he walked back.

“We should have him complete a field test then, you know what people would say if you just let him in.” Damian walked into the rest of the conversation and you held your hand out. He placed his uniform on it and you pushed it carefully into a backpack that you handed to him after.

“Oh, of course, I’ll do it by the books,” you reassured him. “What should I expect walking in?”

“My father wants a full report on what happened, you can just ignore whatever chide remarks my mother sends your way though,” he says.

“And you?”

“I don’t have a say in any of this,” he sighs. He looks at Damian. “Wow, a perfect fit.”

“He’s as ready for this as any of those other kids are,” you crossed your arms.

“Are you sure? That test is difficult, I barely got through it,” he says.

“Yours was a formality, your highness,” you reminded him.

“Right, right,” Calvin nods with a knowing smile. “I’ll see you in the throne room, then,” he bids goodbye and closes the door quietly behind him.

“Look at you, handsome devil,” you rubbed his hair gently and leaned against the table in the room. “Alright, Damian, ready for your first mission on this new Earth?”

“Absolutely,” he straightens up.

“Mission one on the new Earth: Be good, blend in. Look, the royal family can’t know that you dropped from another Earth, okay? As far as they know we’ve all been born and raised here, very few people know about where the Brigade members came from. So, let’s get our story straight,” you leaned down and spoke in a quiet voice. Your eyes moved side to side to ensure that no one was listening. “Like usual, you are my younger brother. Our parents are living in the mountain regions and sent both of us down when we were teenagers to find livelihoods. I’m all done, but you’re just starting, I brought you in to live with me because you were interested in joining the Knight’s Order, and from today on you will be my apprentice,” you spoke in a steady voice and he nodded.

“Anything else I should know?”

“Don’t look into the eyes of the queen directly, she’ll know that you’re lying,” you told him. “Each member of the royal family has a special ability that has kept them in power. The King can crush your bones at the snap of his fingers, the Queen can know if you’re telling the truth with a simple glance at your eyes, and the Prince can throw anything and it’d reach it’s target. The presence of these innate abilities and the power to grant them is proof of royal blood,” you explained. “But, you don’t need to worry about all of that, hell, you don’t even have to worry about the practical exam coming up to enter as a Knight’s apprentice, at your skill level I’d promote you to the highest already,” you laughed shortly. “But, let me do all the talking in there, just observe, and if you notice something’s off, find a subtle way to tell me,” you stood up and he followed you out. You knew the layout of the castle already, having been here almost as many times as your own home, and finally you stood beyond two grandiose doors that stretched higher than Damian thought normal.

“Ready to go?”

“Yeah,” he nodded his head and you opened the doors, together, you both walked into the grand throne room. Before you sat three of the most powerful people in that world and, to say the least, Damian felt the pressure in the atmosphere. It was similar to those few times when he knew his enemies out-skilled him. He found himself subconsciously moving toward you and, as if you understood, your hand pulled him closer.

“Captain,” the King spoke.

“Your Majesty,” you stopped a good distance away from the thrones, bowed your head, and put your hand to your heart. Damian followed suit.

“What is that behind you,” the Queen spat. Damian didn’t miss the annoyed look in your eyes as you looked up at the other woman.

“My younger brother, and soon to be my apprentice,” you explained.

“I see,” she relaxes into her seat. “Quite the predicament you’ve found yourself in. If he will affect your duties, dispose of him.” Damian’s fists clenched behind his back, but he said nothing.

“That won’t be a problem. You’ll soon see that he is a very capable young man.”

“Tch,” the Queen turned her nose. Damian suddenly realizes why Jason would be so pissed when he did that to him. “So he’s virtually untouchable.”

“Yes.”

“Give me news on that village,” the King cut into the conversation.

“It’s unsalvageable, Your Majesty,” You replied curtly. He shifted slightly.

“How many survivors?”

“Five…”

“Hundred?” He cut you off.

“No, your majesty. Five,” you touched your heart again. “Correction, three, not including us from the Knight’s Order.”

“My god,” the Queen shook her head. “How could your team, your special operations unit, have failed?!”

“I believe I’ve told you before, Your Majesty, there have been frequent sightings of a new and much stronger daemon in our midst. Usually, we have been able to handle these mutations, but, for reasons unknown, an entire herd of a new variant descended upon the village,” you stood your ground and continued to explain the situation, all of which Damian already knew as Eve filled him in.

“Usually?” The King’s stance straightened and the Queen’s expression grew grave.

“Father, if you’d recall, I gave you a brief report on the Brigade’s findings a few days ago,” Calvin spoke up. The King held his hand up and Calvin stopped. “Captain, you look like you’re about to say something,” he gestures toward you.

“Yes, Your Majesty, I can assure you that the Brigade has everything under control.”

“New variant?” She asks. “How long have you been dealing with these beasts before informing us?!”

“Near a year now, Your Majesty, but with much smaller variants.”

“A year?! When were you planning on reporting this?!” She shouts.

“The Brigade has had this issue under control up until now. The mutations were advancing at a slow rate until now, and thus we kept a watchful eye on them. As I said, the variant that destroyed that village is a new one. We have never seen one that advanced that far,” your voice remained firm.

It was a presence that Damian wasn’t used to. The longer he stayed here, the more he realizes how much you’ve changed. Especially now, you look just like their father. Damian’s eyes wandered to the Prince, who was silent this entire time. He was almost entirely different than when he saw him earlier, whatever warmth he thought he saw in him was replaced with a bitter coldness that matched his parents, it was almost impressive. Calvin was watching you with a strange mix of curiosity, confusion, and concern. His head rested on the palm of his hand as he tried to feign superiority, but he held a similar annoyed expression that you had, with his eyes constantly shifting to the Queen, who seemed ready to boil over with rage.

“I see,” the King tapped his foot, the sound bouncing off of the room’s walls. “Then continue doing what you’ve been doing.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Await further orders then, Captain. You are dismissed.” You bowed your head again, turned on your heel, and left, Damian following close behind with every hair at the back of his neck standing up from the stares alone.

“What do you mean, you can’t find him?” Dick shouts. Tim rubs his head angrily and gestures toward the screen.

“Do you see him on the radar? No? Well, neither can I!” He argues. Jason rolls his eyes.

“Stop arguing,” Bruce sighs.

“Why am I even here?” Jason grumbles. He takes his helmet. “I’m out, this is stupid. We’re wasting time using this tech, I’ll find him myself and drag him back, yeah? Maybe the kid found (Y/N) already too,” he says.

“Jason has a point, we’re getting nowhere configuring this system,” Bruce concedes.

“Jason, Bruce, wait, come on, we should make sure he’s alright, the fact that he’s not pinging here is a huge problem,” Dick reasons. Tim turns back to the bat computer and a notification pings. “Hold on, there’s some noise about a strange light in the third district, it might be something to look into.”

“Pull it up, then,” Bruce says.

“Yeah,” Tim answers. He pulls up the grainy CCTV footage, speeding through the footage to find something of interest, and once he saw the bright light he scrubbed back a few minutes, and the figure centered in it was unmistakable. They watched as Damian ran around the area, asking random people who happened to be passing by, and whatnot, then a stranger walked up to him and inaudibly told him something. Whatever he said, Damian listened carefully, before the stranger pulled out what looked similar to a pocket watch. Damian watched the pendulum move from side to side before falling to the ground. The stranger lifted him and disappeared into the alley, a bright light emitting from it, and the footage ended there.

“Shit… I should’ve known it was one of the three,” Steph frowns.

“Three?” Tim turns to her.

“You know… aliens, robots, or wizards? This has to be wizard, it’s written all over it,” she says.

“Damian was not kidnapped by wizards,” Tim drags a tired hand down his face.

“Holy shit, Damian was kidnapped by wizards?!” Jason looks up from his phone and then it was Bruce’s turn to sigh, but before the argument could continue, then a notification pings on the batcomputer and Tim was quick to navigate to it.

“Whoa… what’s that?” Jason looks at the picture on the screen.

“I think (Y/N) left it behind, I found it on her seat after I woke up,” Tim skims through the report. “Damn… no matches.”

“Looks like it belongs to a wizard,” Steph whispers, and Cass snickers.

“Wait, try cross-referencing it with the CCTV from earlier,” Dick cuts in.

“You sure?” Tim asks.

“Yeah, I’m pretty sure he was holding a watch.”

“It could just be a pocket watch, you know?” Jason argues.

“Who the hell carries pocket watches in the 21st century?” Steph chides.

“It’s a match!” Tim nearly jumps from his seat.

“Shit, never mind then,” Jason shrugs and Tim pulls the pocketwatch from its spot on the console. He opens it quickly.

“Take a look inside of it, I noticed that the watch face looked too peculiar,” Tim tapped it and so far, no dice. There was no reaction or movement whatsoever. Inside the watch face was a series of concentric circles that were intersected by a number of hands that extended the length of each circle’s radii.

“Yeah… uh… maybe it also reads milliseconds,” Jason hums.

“I doubt that,” Tim grimaces.

“You guys really think it’s magic?” Dick asks.

“I’m thinking more of that it could be some complicated tech that neither of us understands yet,”

And so, operation Save Damian is a go.

2015

“So… how’s the new kid doing?” Steph asks. You, her, Cass, and Babs sat at a cafe table, you just wanting to eat your sandwich while the three of them were extra intent on hearing the drama from you firsthand.

“Damian’s doing good, stellar, actually, like… he’s probably one of the best Robins from the get-go,” you shrugged.

“Best Robin? That’s a loaded statement,” Steph chuckled.

“I did say from the get-go. But, to be fair, Damian’s raising situation was a little different than the others.”

“Right, the al Ghuls,” Steph says with an exaggerated tone.

“If you want to ask about Robin stuff you should ask the guys though, I’m not involved in that stuff,” you shook your head. “Like… Jesus, the kid’s only ten! I know it’s not my place to judge but… I kinda want to give him at least a bit of a childhood but he’s so…” you trailed, trying to find the right words to say.

“Bratty?” Steph asks.

“Rude?” Babs tries.

“Conceited?” Cass says before drinking her iced coffee.

“Those are a bit harsh,” you shook your head. You sighed and played with your straw for a bit. “Lonely. He seems very lonely,” you drank some of your drink, trying to ignore the hinted tension at the table now. “I don’t know… I mean, I get it, I do. He grew up to be an assassin, and he didn’t have time or the privilege to make friends, I don’t have the full story so I can’t assume, I just want him to feel comfortable,” you rest your chin on your palm.

“Takes one to know one, huh?” Cass asks.

“Yeah,” you answered absently. Then, in the blink of an eye, you smiled and shook your head. “Not that I was lonely, you know? Obviously, I had all of you, my brothers, my mom, and Alfred so I had plenty of people, and you’re all so wonderful so… I just want Damian to see that too. I get why he doesn’t want to be close with me since I’m just ordinary, but I hope at least Dick gets through to him,” you said.

“Well, Dick has a way with people so I’m sure they’ll bond somehow,” Babs nods.

“Ordinary… you’ve never used that word before,” Cass taps a finger on the table and you shook your head.

“It’s no big deal, it’s just the truth,” you shrugged. “When I first met Damian he said something interesting to me, actually,” you adjusted yourself so you were more comfortable on the metal chairs, “he brought up how our dad is Bruce Wayne, then he brought up how my mom is Selina Kyle, and he asked me why I settled to be ordinary when I could’ve been extraordinary.”

“Yeah, sis, he’s just a brat,” Steph deadpans.

“Hey now,” you shot a pointed look at her and she shrugs. “Anyway, I got to thinking about it over with Tim—”

“Aw, hell, Tim! Shit, how’d he take the news?” Steph asks. You shook your head.

“You didn’t hear it from me, but not well. Wait for him to talk to you about it though,” you told her. “But back on topic… I discussed it with Tim and he told me that of all of us, I was the most important member,” you rolled your eyes. “I didn’t buy it at first but…” you took a deep breath. “Every super family needs a civilian, right?” You finally said. Cass reached over and held your hand in hers, squeezing it with some amount of reassurance.

“You are so much more than just an ordinary civilian, (Y/N),” Steph says. “You’re our sister, through and through. Not just anyone can shut Jason up the way you do,” she adds with a short laugh.

“Yeah, I’m sure Damian is hurting right now, he needs time to open up,” Cass says.

“He’s an interesting boy, he’s so mission-driven that it surprises me,” Babs sighs.

“Dad thinks that me taking him out is a waste,” you sighed.

“Bruce said that?” Babs masks her surprise.

“He said it in a very Bruce Wayne way, you know? I told him I’d be taking Damian with me somewhere and he would hit me with the “Again?” and ugh it just makes me angry,” you grumbled.

“Well, he was never able to control you either, so there’s probably not much he could do to stop you,” Steph says.

“Like he’d try,” you leaned back against the chair and stole a glance at your watch. “I should head back to the manor, I still have assignments,” you sighed.

“Oh, need a ride? Let’s share an Uber,” Babs says.

“Sure, yeah, how about you two?”

“I have to go on patrol,” Steph says.

“Ditto,” Cass readjusts her scarf and you nod.

“Good luck, then, stay safe,” you gave the both of them hugs before following Barbra.

“You know, (Y/N),” Barbara spoke up when you were a good distance away, “I think what you’re doing for Damian is good,” she says.

“What am I doing?”

“Giving him a chance,” she says. “You’re right, he’s still a child, even though he acts so mature, sometimes I hear a sliver of the child he is and it reminds me that normally he wouldn’t be handling these kinds of missions,” she says.

“Yeah, I always worry about him,” you shake your head.

“(Y/N), about what Tim said, he’s right, you know. You keep us in touch with our human side, I know sometimes you feel left out when you walk into our meetings, but you are an instrumental member of our family,” she continues. “Remember that, (Y/N).”

“I know, I know,” you nodded. You’d known ever since you renounced the vigilante business. The looks you got from everyone were just different, and the looks you got from people after were just as bad.

“Thirsty? You should drink something,” you pulled out two discs from your pocket while you and Damian walked along the castle halls. Holding the discs close together, you firmly grasped onto the handles and twisted them to open and, as you separated the discs, water gathered between them.

“Whoa…” he observes it and you hand it to him. “How do I drink this?”

“You can hold it with one hand,” you chuckled and reached over, pulling out a small sphere of water and popping it into your mouth. “We have actual water bottles, but it’s just easier to carry that around,” you said.

“Is this magic?” He copies you and pulls a small sphere of water from the middle before drinking it.

“Yup, Alex brought it from somewhere,” you answered while Damian handed the device back to you. You resealed it and put it away. “Now, today’s the entrance practical for new knights, I gotta admit that we lucked out there. Like I said earlier, I’m pretty sure you’ll pass with flying colors,” you turned him down a hallway.

“What should I expect?”

“It’s divided into two exams. The first is an obstacle course, you have to get through it within ten minutes. The second is a mock hunt, you’ll have to fight and capture a beginner-level beast,” you say. “Easy, for you, trust.” You both walked out into the training grounds, Damian shielded his eyes from the harsh sunlight while he looked around seeing knights of various backgrounds roam around. “See that building over there? The one with the green banner on it? That’s for you and the other examinees, go ahead and make yourself comfortable there for now while I meet with the others to prep the course, and, oh! One more thing Dami!”

“Yeah?”

“Be nice to the other kids, okay? Not everyone's as cool as you.” You urged him forward and you waited for him to reach the practice house before taking off yourself.

Damian opened the door cautiously, seeing boys and girls similar to his age all talking amongst themselves and preparing for the exam.

“So the rumors are true, they let in a homeschooler?” One of the boys snarked. Damian turns to him, unamused. “Guess what, mountain boy, this exam isn’t for bumpkins like you,” he sneers.

“Oh, leave him alone, Hugo!” One of the girls grimaces. “Here, new kid, come sit with us,” she waves Damian over to a table with a few others and, remembering your words, obliges. “I’m Retta,” she introduces herself.

“Damian,” he sits next to her.

“I’m Niers!” The platinum blond boy next to him is next.

“My name’s Luciana,” the tanned girl goes next.

“And I’m Lowen,” the last boy introduces himself.

“So, is it true? You didn’t go to any of the academies?” Niers asks. Damian nods.

“Yeah, I trained… in the mountains,” he holds back a groan. Maybe you didn’t change at all, your lies were still obvious.

“That’s so crazy, I always forget there’s a whole village up there,” Niers hums. “Shoot, so you don’t know what to expect, huh?”

“I have an idea,” Damian eyes the tarts that Retta stacks on his plate.

“Eat them, they’re good for you. They have some mild stamina enhancers in them,” she smiles.

“I mean, we’ve kinda always known what the exam has,” Luciana mutters. “Lowen and I have siblings in the Knighthood already,” she says.

“Really?” Well, that’s a coincidence.

“Yeah, my older brother’s Aldryn,” Lowen says it with a slight hint of disdain. “Luci's are the twins in lab coats.”

“My older siblings! Marion'll be at the test today too, I’m so nervous,” she chews on the inside of her lip and Retta places a cookie on her plate.

“For the nerves,” she says. “No worries though, depending on how you fail you get a retest,” Retta explains.

“Is it really that difficult?” Damian asks.

“Oh, you don’t even know,” Niers shudders. “But… all of this for one reason!” He says. The four teens put their hands in the center and a blazing determination appears in their gazes. They glance at Damian, waiting for him to join in and, with a sigh and a roll of his eyes, he does so.

“To meet the Captain Wayne in the flesh!” Luciana says. Damian is taken aback for a moment.

“To meet the Captain Wayne!” The other three announce. What are the odds he gets sucked into his sister’s fan club?

‘Good grief…’ he could feel his battery draining already.

“Examinees, to the exam field,” Nixon walks in holding a clipboard. He eyes Damian but makes no other attempts at acknowledgment before leaving.

“That’s our cue! Follow us, Damian, we help each other out in this group!” Retta smiles.

“And who said I was in this group?”

“We all did now go!” Niers pushes everyone forward.

Damian listened in on all the conversations on their way to the site, trying to get a general idea of what awaited him. He’d heard many different things, but if one detail was certain, it was that the beast at the end was what they called a ‘Hamig’ whatever that was. You had mentioned to him that it was a beginner-level beast, but he still remained on his guard.

But when he saw the test site, he had to hold back a laugh. And when he spotted you walking toward the group, the eye contact alone almost made you both laugh.

You were right. This was child’s play.

“Students of the 28th class, today is your practical exam to join the Knighthood. My name is Captain (Y/N) Wayne and I oversee all the affairs of the Knighthood and the Brigade. Today myself, Nixon Jones, and Carter Adara will be observing your exams and grading you. You will know if you passed or failed as soon as you complete the exam and you are allowed one retest and one only. If you fail both of those, you will be held back to the next class practical which will happen exactly a year from now. We will be conducting the first exam now, then we’ll have a break, and finally the second part. Don’t let your guard down, and impress us. Your rankings will be given to you today as well,” you instructed. “So, who’s first?” You looked among the crowd. Damian crossed his arms, the first rule of undercover was easy, don’t stand out. He would have to observe the general skill level of everyone first just in case. “Ah, a volunteer already! Let’s see if I’m remembering correctly, Hugo Gardner?” You asked. Damian’s gaze moved over to the boy who pushed his way forward.

“That’s me, I’m glad you remember,” his bravado’s unmatched.

“Right, hard to forget you,” you smiled.

“This is Hugo’s fourth time retaking the practical,” Lowen says quietly, and Damian fights back a snort. This was the kid who tried to demean him? He couldn’t wait to see him fail the course.

And fail he did. Landing face first into the mud below because he didn’t gauge how far the next platform was.

“Gardner, back to the group, you’ll be retesting after everyone completes their exam,” Carter says.

“Whatever,” Hugo spats. “See that, mountain boy?! If I could barely get through it you could kiss this title goodbye!” He laughs. Damian glares at him and you shook your head. Not yet, it was a reminder.

Then, students came and went, students passed, and students failed, and, finally, that left Damian. He had looked over everyone’s abilities enough that he could replicate it to avoid attention, he didn’t want to make this more difficult for you, at least. He had heard a range of different times already, he’d heard eight minutes, nine minutes, eleven minutes, and more and less. The best time right now was five minutes and forty-two seconds. He could complete this in two, but he knew he shouldn’t, don’t draw attention.

“You can still drop out, mountain hobo!” Hugo’s insults were obviously forced.

Aw, whatever, Damian couldn’t resist a chance to show off against people like that. So, he stood at the starting line, and once you had blown the whistle, he took off.

The first course was simple, climbing. One jump and a strategically planned landing point had him at the top in seconds. Then, where Gardner failed, the jump to the next platform. Easy, Damian didn’t have to think of it. The next section was a series of spinning columns with various protrusions, and this one took out a lot of the cohort already, but, again, easy. The trick was to see the pattern before running in, and he’d seen it so many times already. The final part stretched over a small body of water with various buoys set up. There were many strategies for this one, such that he’d seen, either use momentum at each buoy or use them as floaters. Damian decided to do neither of those and used them as platforms instead, moving with ease among each and landing at the finish line.

“Two minutes,” Nixon clicks the stopwatch, and surprised gasps and cheers followed.

“That was crazy, Damian! Why didn’t you tell us you were that good?” Niers compliments him. “Shoot, now I feel kinda embarrassed, you’re a pro!”

“We worried for no reason,” Luci's shoulders relaxed.

“Hey, check out Hugo,” Lowen grins. Hugo had begun his retest, standing at the top of the climbing tower and staring at the platform. Be good, Damian thought of those words again. After years of living with his father, of being good, maybe this new Earth was a chance to try anew.

“Hey, Gardner!” Damian shouts. Hugo glares at him. “Focus on the platform before you jump, trust your instincts! If you’d been training for this, then you can handle it,” Damian instructs. Hugo takes a deep breath and, assumably, follows Damian’s instructions and successfully lands on the platform.

“Shouldn’t we call that out,” Nixon nudges you.

“No, I don’t think I can handle watching Hugo come in another year, he’s been working hard for this. Teamwork and trust are also tenets we emphasize,” you say. You watched Hugo continue through the course with difficulty and, once he’d reached the finish, Nixon checked the stopwatch.

“Eight minutes and seven seconds,” he calls, “congrats, Hugo, you advance to the final test,” he says. Hugo stands for a moment, catching his breath, when tears finally slipped down and his friends rushed over to him, all congratulating him on his achievement.

“You did good, kid,” you nudged Damian with your clipboard and he shrugs it off.

“Whatever…” he says. You slipped a lunch bag in his hand.

“So, let’s take a break, then we’ll complete today’s exam. Everyone who didn’t pass, don’t take it to heart, use this as a learning experience to prepare for the next exam. And those who did pass, don’t let it get to your head, the second exam is much harder,” you announced, walking past Damian as if nothing had happened.

“Damian! Come over here!” Retta calls him over again and he follows while he opened the paper bag and spotted the salad and fruits inside, and beneath it a wrapped veggie burger. Then, as he sat down, Damian felt an overwhelming sense of nostalgia and, if memory served him right, then your note should be sandwiched under the fruits and bingo. He reads the note in the bag, keeping his privacy about himself as he does so.

‘Why did P stick with J? Because P is butter with J! - Big Sis’ There is no Earth where that would have been funny. But, call it instinct, he flipped the note over and lo and behold, the actual message.

‘Hey Dami, the lunch they’re serving is boar roast and, obviously, you can’t eat that, so I had my assistant run and grab you these. They might taste a little different than what you’re used to, though, just keep an open mind.’

Keep an open mind? Damian pulled the salad out, eyeing the purple lettuce and pink spinach.

Oh.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, you walked straight forward, stopping in front of the cage with the beast inside, still standing, and still looming, but still silent. You looked at it carefully, going over all the details with a new understanding.

“Hello, old friend,” you crossed your arms and the beast seemed to bow its head. Unable to speak, it raises it now, exposing the dog tags melted into its fur. You looked at the protective circles around it, stepping through them carefully to approach the cage and, just barely, you could just barely make out the name on it.

‘CK - 78’ was engraved on it. Whoever this was, they weren’t part of the Knighthood.

“I’m sorry, I don’t know who you are,” you backed away from the cage and the beast whimpered, lowering to the ground and lying there peacefully.

“Captain,” you look over your shoulder and watch the two twin scientists enter.

“That’s the most relaxed it’s been,” Inigo speaks up.

“All day, every day, that thing snarls at me and snaps at whoever nears it. It likes you, Cap, I don’t know why though,” Marion shakes her head.

“Your guess is as good as mine, Mary,” you lied. Again, you looked at the beast, who watched you with one eye.

“Pitiful creature, if we weren’t studying it then I would’ve put it out of his misery,” Inigo shoves his hands into his lab coat pockets. “So, what can we help you with, Cap?”

“Just looking, there’s something that’s been bothering me since the last attack,” you crossed your arms. “The report said that this beast displayed an unparalleled strength, and after dealing with similar variants I can confirm that,” you looked over the beast again.

“We’ve been trying to heal the wounds too,” Marion says, “it won’t let us get close.”

“The beast is guarded, most wild beasts are,” you nodded. “Well, keep up the good work, it’s about time I proctored the second exam,” you looked at your watch.

“Damn, that time of the year already? Cut 'em some slack, Cap.”

“Yeah, yeah,” you waved your hand and left the room, hearing the beast stand up behind you with sounds of metal hitting the cage to prove it.

Hello there again! (●’◡’●)ﾉ I’m the anon that asked about Falin and wanted to thank you for your detailed explanation on her!! I knew she was a bit of creep from what Google translate told me (someday I’ll evolve to actually understanding jp) but not that much of one. Like geez, I knew Akuneko showed the ugliness of humanity but I didn’t think they’d go that far. >~< As much as I’d hate to say it, I’m a little sad she wasn’t utilized more as a sub-villain. Then again, I guess we’ll probably be seeing her in some flashbacks maybe (holding out hope) of elf man.

Speaking of elf man, I’m actually terrified of whatever Studio Wasabi is going to release late August (╥_╥). I really really hope they let Belen become a butler though but that brings up the question of who the other two butlers are gonna be. We haven’t had any hints about them but then again they did the same with Teddy and Hanamaru so who knows. Maybe they’ll all be some kind of fantasy related race? Or something akin to that assuming elf man is gonna be one of the four…ahhhh!! So many questions!! But please Studip Wasabi, let our butlers be happy I say!

Side note but if Belen really does become one of Aruji’s butlers then I hope he still has his cat ears

hii, I hope you’re doing well 💖! and thank you for the feedback \(//∇//)\!!

and yes! i second that sentiment wholeheartedly! see, none of the villains in aknk are written in a half-baked manner; if they are villains, they do more than enough to deserve their titles.

[unlike media, especially these days, that have villains that kill a man on screen to show how terrible they are, have little to no backstory, just a pretty face (so fans can spend money on them and romanticise them), aknk antagonists are not like that.

you end up hating them (because their crimes are truly inexcusable in every way possible), yet you can’t help being intrigued by them. ]

why was Falin so entranced with beauty that she kidnapped people that fit her criteria and sold them? what prompted this? it wasn’t love for money or material. not to mention, she grew up in an ordinary village. why did she become the way she is?

why was Fubuki so lost in his greed for power and wanting to get ahead of the Grobaner family? with him we can make guesses (unlike Falin) but it’s still not explained—we don’t know his childhood, whether he had authoritarian parents that forced him to be this way or an event that changed everything in his life. why did he want to create enhanced humans so badly that he was willing to experiment and kill children and in the end to find an alternative for the devil butlers with Grobaner family so he could get ahead of them?

anyway, you get the gist! all antagonists in this game are really interesting.

that’s I wanted both Fubuki and Falin’s past shown in detail so we could get to understand why they were the way they are! unfortunately, we won’t end up getting too much information about Falin; but Fubuki is alive and i don’t believe his story is over just yet.

[also, it’s so funny that both of them had met canonically and Falin had proposed to him but he rejected her 😭]

I’m also holding hope that when elf guy’s backstory gets explained, we will get information about Falin! since there are earlier survivors (her captives) who managed to escape; we might get their perspective.

there is no doubt in my mind that elf guy is getting playable; like i can already imagine his initial ssrs, his interaction with Aruji/us, how he’s going to be in Halloween event (if he gets playable by then?)

but with Belen, my heart is unsure 😭 I really want him to become playable. though if does become playable, studio wasabi will make sure to break our hearts with each update before making him playable.

I used to think that the writers of aknk add some soft content in the main story after each really sad/upsetting main story episodes. but um considering we got the stuff with Lato and then Boschi’s whole chapter right after, hehe I’m not so sure 😃

i think you have a good guess going with the next coming butlers (excluding elf guy) being from some fantasy race. we’re kinda slowly getting focus on the Western region, the one governed by the green-haired elf looking guy, Elboa.

considering the last two chapters were focused on and in East (Falin and Fubuki both being from East), it shouldn’t be unlikely that with subtle focus on the West in chapter 4, that we will be delving in it in the coming chapters.

so to spice things up, the writers might add non-humans to our long list of butlers ✨! I hope they do, it will make things interesting since we’ll get a focus on the respective regions the fantasy-races are from, how different they are from humans and so on!

[bestie, with all love, i don’t think those cat ears are staying 😭💗 i want them to stay too! because it gives Belen this distinctive appearance from the rest and with how much we’ve seen him with them, the cat ears should be a part of him. but he didn’t have them before his demon took over him.]

and i kinda did some research on Belen’s demon, Beleth, and he has a cat-like appearance.

so i think Belen might have Miyaji’s case going with him. where he’ll get those cat ears and tail wherever MC/Aruji summons his demon for him or wherever he is under the control of his demon (that’s happening now.). otherwise, he’ll have his normal appearance since he is human. that’s totally my guess though.

but it’s entirely possible that his cat ears might stay when he wakes up later because he had them for so long and all (?)

the other butlers don’t have their features change under the influence of their demons (besides having a red hue surrounding their one eye and the black hue surrounding them) or when Aruji summons their demon for them besides Miyaji. with Miyaji, later during his arc, when he loses control to his demon, he’ll also have his animal ears too (i think at least!)

but i can’t wait for Belen! he’s going to be so adorable (๑>◡<๑)!

with elf guy (god, if i have to call him elf guy one more time, I’ll —) I do have a gist of how he’ll be like. but with Belen, while we do have flashbacks that show his personality, I’m not sure that’s exactly how he’ll be like when he wakes up.

he’s been sleeping for 2000+ years in this state where his demon has full control over him (and we do know demons try to weaken the butlers by showing them nightmares or showing them good dreams so they can lose their grip on reality and yield to their demon). so when Belen wakes up, he’s going to have gone through hell 😭 so I think he won’t exactly be the cute, reliable person he was before his demon took control of him.

i think he might even have problem with communicating, even basic tasks like eating and walking to a certain extent at least. he hasn’t performed them in 2000+ years. yes, he was frozen in time but they should show some signs of having trouble with his daily tasks etc (please studio wasabi, I’m begging you 🥺)

that would make for some very interesting content too! from being the reliable older-brother-figure to now having trouble with everything and relying on people around you. I hope after his case is wrapped up (he’s woken up and all) we get some focus on his life in the devil’s palace and his interaction with everyone (like a 5.5 chapter?).

[i forgot to add; i also don’t understand Japanese, in case if I’m giving the impression that i do! i understand it like at an N5 level but i studied it at home. that’s why i hope i don’t give the impression that my explanations have no chance of being wrong somewhere; i rely on deepl and other tools like that too 😭 i hope we both end up learning it completely someday somewhere in the future…]

anyway, it was lovely talking to you, anon (*≧∀≦*)💞!! i can’t wait for the next update (and I’ll talk everyone’s ears off on tumblr) so let me know your thoughts when you get around to reading it ✨! i might post an explanation of the updates for people who don’t have the time to read the main story update.

i am manifesting those cat-ears on Belen 😀 and for him to become a butler; if they don’t, we’re going to raid studio wasabi’s headquarters by dawn ✨/j and i need more content about Falin! in elf guy’s content, we better get information about her.

have a wonderful day, anon (*^▽^*)💖! looking forward to your thoughts on the main story (whenever it drops!)

#sol’s asks #🍀 anon!#edited it!#studio wasabi please give elf guy a name already 😭#i also saw some Japanese fans refer to him as elf and elf man 😭🤣#like it’s not that hard to drop his name #i hope it’s something unique and cool

Violent Delights Have Violent Ends

New Spencer Reid x Reader Mini Series!

The first will be updated tomorrow at 7 pm. Part two will be December 15 at 7, and then December 19 at 7pm !

(I will also be posting in between those dates as well, but I want to create a mini schedule for myself so I keep writing!)

Teaser below hehe!

“So, Doctor Y/L/N, what made you choose Shakespeare?”

You rolled your eyes. “Agent Morgan, if you keep using my official title, you’re going to be talking to the wall. Wanna try again?”

His jaw dropped slightly, enjoying the banter you were providing. Derek Morgan was far from ugly, far from it. But he simply wasn’t your type. But that did not mean you couldn’t flirt back.

“Well then, Miss Y/N, why Shakespeare.”

You smiled, “Shakespeare is just another language. And I already speak French, Arabic, Spanish, some Latin, a little Greek, and I’m learning enough Mandarin and Cantonese to get by on my next trip to China. So understanding Shakespeare from a linguistic point, I’ve already got covered. Especially since it was something I could read easily from a young age.”

JJ and Emily had stopped their conversation and turned to face you, eagerly listening in to what you have to say.

“But, from a theatrical point, his writing is so incredibly intricate. There are layers upon layers of text and context and subtext throughout all of his plays and sonnets, not to mention the fact that Shakespeare can be transformed, moved from one thing to another incredibly easily. You have to factor in that he was a misogynist, anti semitic, probably-most-definitely racist, among all of the other things, but adapting his works throughout time is something I have a special interest in, particularly his portrayal of woman and how that has been changed throughout productions over the years, mainly focusing in comedies and this strange need for him to have happy endings end in weddings.”

The jet was all staring at you, while a smirk slowly slid onto Derek’s face. “Looks like you got some competition here, Pretty Boy.”

hiii jichan, long time no senseific asks from me... am kinda interested why you’ve thought the first kiss scene you wrote several says ago will have such, uh, destructive impact to the other plot points. i mean, it suddenly felt natural for them to kiss earlier than you planned them to, or 👀 (sry i’m awkward, can’t think of another way to convey that i. really appreciate your work)

(context for everyone else. my complaining was in the tags)

hi againnnnn :D well the short answer is that i'm probably being over-dramatic, but since a kiss is a big deal i gotta look over the stuff after that scene with new eyes and make sure all of it checks out with the new context

(more under the cut + general senseific updates for the curious)

it's their second kiss (so far), and i threw it in around the middle after shuffling around some plot points (the plot point shuffling is definitely going to be more, uh, destructive than the kiss is anyway, so i am just being over-dramatic), but uhhh... well it's an early release of tension and expression of yagami's frustration towards kitakata than i originally intended so... that's gonna change how their dynamic is going to feel afterwards until the tension is resolved completely (i.e. they sort their shit out)

i'd just placed those plot points in their new spots and saw a gap in the middle of my fic and was Struck By An Urge so now this kiss scene exists with only a vague idea of what the context behind it will be. ...well, i'll write it when i get to it, i suppose. but it was a lot of fun writing something exciting and new for senseific!

but now i gotta get back to the stuff i actually have to do 😔 which is mostly dance club stuff right now. i am thankfully actually making progress on that front. and later i also gotta check some stuff with the robotics club for a short part in chp 1 and 2. and just give everything a general look for cohesiveness.

chp 1 is, by my judgement, very close to its finished form (i just need to do that short robotics club part and general tweaking)

chp 2 still has quite a ways to go, but i've got big chunks of dance club where i want them now, alongside the existing kuwagami stuff (which is the other focus of that chapter). i also need robotics club stuff here but it's pretty minimal rn

chp 3 is.... well the front half has a direction (resolving the dance club), and then it gets a bit lost. (on a related note, those re-homed plot points start to get placed around here). my focus right now is to get the dance club stuff done and leave this problem to be solved later. when i move onto the robotics club, i'm hoping to see what comes up naturally. for now, i gotta focus on the immediate tasks and all that.

[tenuous separation between chapters 3/4 depending on where 3 ends naturally when i finish writing it]

chp 4 is where the new kiss scene is. and a bit of old writing of where i am generally expecting kuwagami stuff to go. around this point is where things get even further away from a readable state, so i won't go on. ....if their second kiss is in this chapter, feel free to take a guess at when their first will be. hehe.

senseific currently has a working title. chapters 1-3 have titles that i think are not gonna get changed, cause i'm attached to em (but you never know, right?)

general senseific update aside, since that kiss is around (what is currently) chp 4, i am eventually going to have to go over the older writing around that point and make sure it all matches the vibe

#jitxt #this ended up being a general senseific update because i wanted to keep talking. so excuse me #my actual answer is pretty short since i'm not really elaborating on the context of that scene for once lol #i've done a lot of casual spoiling of senseific ahahahaha #remember when i said i felt like i had all my kuwagami plot beats sorted #that wasn't untrue because i got all the big ones i want and the general direction #but my god. i wanna hit my past self on the head for feeling so satisfied when there's still SO MUCH TO DO #sorry for being unnecessarily verbose i'm just going to ignore my anxiety and press the post button before i rethink the whole post 👍

wait i just noticed the updated blog title or whatever!! is your name really raebelline??? and it rhymes with ra(e)lmedaddy???? that's so fucking cool omg!!! but anyway i really wanted to ask you about "3. Various people find out The Thing" bc is this the lawyer au p3 you've been talking about? jffkfkf exciting!!!! but also the 5+1 june alex fic will give us all the feels, doesn't it???

hehe, my name isn’t really Raebelline. That’s a full name that @kiwiana-writes christened me with when he was yelling at me ages ago (I’m sure it was very much deserved) and it’s stuck. The tag line popped into my head and I thought it was funny so I changed my blog title the other day!

Yes, ‘various people find out The Thing’ is lawyer au part 3 which sadly hasn’t progressed other than for some rambling voice notes I sent to @three-drink-amy once which I never converted to actual notes so I will need to find them and write them down so that I can start the damn thing!

5+1 June fic with all the feels? Absolutely. So many feels, I’m breaking my own heart while I write it. It’s going to end with something happy and a little silly though, promise 💖

Edit: MJ has pointed out that technically, the full name is Raebelline Writes. Just in case anyone else needs to yell at me 😉

Slow Return

Hello everyone!!!!

Dear lord it's been way over 2 years since I've written anything.

How have you all been? I really hope everyone is safe and healthy, and these stories I've written have given you guys some good memories. But so much has happened with out fandom and show since I've been gone!!

I have more gifs to use hehe

I've honestly thought about this account a lot since I've taken my unannounced hiatus, and sometimes I would write and work on my own story (Murder of One, which is SO CLOSE TO BEING FINISHED!!)

Your dear writer has been well, and I truly do miss everyone. To everyone that still decided to follow despite my absence, Hello! Thank you for your follows, notes, reblogs, and comments! To everyone that's been here with me since the beginning, I missed you!!

When I started this account I was in my summer of junior year, going into senior year. I only wrote at the pace and quantity that I did because I had free time, and because my love for the show was still super new. KnY will always have a place in my heart, and that's why I've been writing little by little despite posting. I thought I would be back by the time Mugen Train came out, but then that passed. Then I thought, "Oh! Red Light District arc! I'll make my return then!" and then it came and passed too. The swordsmith village arc isn't even out yet, and I'm in my second semester of my 3rd year at university, but I've suddenly decided to write again.

As the title says, updates will be slow. I might only accept 3-5 requests a week. They might not be long. And my writing style has changed (for the worse, lol) But I really want to write for you guys again.

Mari, Chuu, if you're reading this, I miss you guys :) DM me!

As a special celebration, I'll post chapter 4 of the hating game (hence the gif haha) I have ch 5 written up, and there might only be 1-2 more chapters after that, but I do want to complete it. Chapter 4 was written before my hiatus, so my writing style is the same in that chapter as it was all those years ago. Chapter 5 is half from that time and half from 5 mins ago lol. Hopefully it's not too noticeable, and hopefully I get back into the groove of things, so I ask for patience and kindness. Also, because I'm an actual college student now, I might go back and rewrite some parts because you can obviously tell from my writing that I didn't understand academia lol.

If you've gotten to the end of this lil note, I want to say thank you. Sincerely and truly, thank you for sticking around. Tumblr is a little different from 2-3 years ago, so I have to mess with the interface, but hopefully this means my return is back (though slow) and I can make you guys smile through my writing again.

Fate out!!

Progress Page (WIP)

Hello guys this is a page dedicated to keeping you guys updated on what I’m currently writing as well as estimated dates things might get published! This is to keep you guys updated because I sometimes don’t post for months but trust I’m always working on something (it just might take me a while lol)!

Ahem. Rb does not give me enough space to ramble about the stuff I want to ramble about.

Her lock screen kills me. Like what do you mean it’s photos of flowers. It’s something so small and like only mentioned one time but idk it hit me. I know her and Kuroo don’t have a good marriage, I know that. But like the fact that her lock screen isn’t a photo of the two of them hurts. Even I have photos of my friends on my lock screen (most of the time! It’s getting changed back soon). So it’s like they’re not even friends anymore.

Logically I know they aren’t but when you marry someone they should be like your best friend. And maybe it started off that way but eeefufuruvud. He’s not her friend. He’s her husband, and in this case it’s mutually exclusive. He’s her husband but only in the title of it. The title of husband is a comfort to him, something he needs to prove almost. He needs to prove he can be a husband. He doesn’t have time to be anything else. He goes to work and works himself to death because he’s not her lover. He’s her husband. He wants the title of husband without any of the things that come with it.

Omg sorry I’m getting too deep into this for an askbox confessional.

Anyways! I had another point.

“You don’t know her like I do.” Ave when I tell you I felt my heart hurt. It wasn’t meant in a mean way but it felt like a reminder that there’s a degree of separation between the two of them. He knows her professionally not personally. It’s a carefully constructed relationship that he’s built for the two of them. I know she didn’t mean it as a “you’re only her colleague” but that’s probably what it felt like to him.

Like “here’s another part of her you can’t have.” He can’t have her romantically. He can’t have her physically. And he can’t know her. He knows the version of her that everyone else knows. The calculated setter who’s married to Kuroo. But he doesn’t know the things that make her tick. He doesn’t know what she does on Friday nights. He doesn’t know her favorite movie or the little quirks that make her different.

He doesn’t know her as anything more than someone from work. I don’t know why those two things hurt me so bad omg. They just did!!

OMG I HOPE THIS WASN’T TOO LONG LOVE!!!! </333 enjoy my rambling <3

-love bug <3 🍪

i always enjoy your thoughts when i post updates 🥰🥰🥰 sharing this with the world now…

the last part is intentional… the first two wasn’t hehe

kageyama is not allowed to know her beyond what she allows him to see, partially because that’s what she thinks a good wife should act like. but if he already loves her so much just from one facet of her that he knows, he’s going to fall so much harder when she lets him in 👀

of course that’s not to say she’s perfect…

OKAY THATS ALL IM SAYING

update about “the extremes” series 🫶

soooo i made changes, i decided to make official headline titles bc i saw @/heesuncore’s before and after post and i got jealous and i decided to revert back into my instagram imagine phase with picsart and phonto LMFAOAOA anyways besides that they are now afab/fem reader, i still will do newer gn reader fics in thi future, it’s just how i’m writing them, it’s complicated for me as someone’s who’s afab, to write without saying stuff like “clit/cock” or “hole” x200 yk?? i also shortened the fic word count bc i realized writing background stuff can only take like 1.8k of the whole fic LMFAOAOAO be nice to me i haven’t written sumn this intense in a fat min

IMPORTANT: fics are now moved from a few days apart. everyday after each other removes the suspense yk but yeah!

anyways thank u all for the support on my other fics i hope u will also enjoy this as well hehe !!

The Witch in Hawkins

eddie munson x witch! reader

settings: february 1986

warning: foul language, spoilers for stranger things 4

author's note: pardon my grammar, english is not my first language. im also not a professional writer.

i didn't proofread it so i’m sorry if it sucks hehe. and i don’t particularly know all the name of the spells so i just randomly named it lol.

im on vacay on fri to tuesday and will probably be busy with our school org activities, so im not sure if i can update next week. ill try tho

synopsis: something is calling you in the year 1986 even though you lived in the future. so you went to find answers.

Prologue

Chapter 1

the moment you step foot on the hawkins soil, you felt something is brewing. this place is full of mystery, agony, and sadness. you bent down touching the ground, feeling it. ‘yup definitely a troublesome place.’ you nodded to yourself.

you released ebony, telling her to find you an empty house for you to settle in. she immediately run off. you stood up, observing the neighborhood you arrived in. you turned to your left and saw a man with a watering can gaping his mouth like a fish. its as if he saw you walking from the hole you were in earlier. you motioned your fingers casting a small mind swiping spell. after being in a trance for seconds he went back in whatever he was doing and you started to walk ahead.

there are people in the streets, talking to their neighbors, kids playing. they didn’t saw you coming out from that hole thank goodness. but some are looking at you weirdly. you titled your head wondering why. you look at their clothes, and then yours. then it clicked. you dress differently! of course they would look at you in a weird way. legs clad in skinny jeans, white crop top, and sneakers.

you walked towards the woods. trying to find where you can change your clothes. walking deeper in the woods made you feel that something big is coming in this small town. hell, you can feel that something already happened but the biggest trouble is yet about to come.

you came across picnic table. you settled your bag and stood up trying to think of clothes that might be a 80s fashion. you flicked your fingers, white flowing dust appeared. then you found yourself wearing a black cardigan tucked in a black mini skirt and white knee high boots. ‘is this even 80s?’ you thought. before you can change again you heard rustling of leaves followed by footsteps. you whipped you head back, finding a man with curly shoulder length hair, donned with a black and white baseball tee saying ‘hellfire club’ topped with a denim vest, ripped jeans and worn out sneakers.

he looked up and stumbled backwards, a surprise look in his handsome face. “is this your spot? sorry i will leave now.” you said and gathered your things. “no, it’s okay sweet cheeks. this place is not mine.” he said. ‘oh god. what a nice voice.’ ‘ew, that’s gross.’ thoughts running into your head. this place is already making you mad. and you’re here for only 30 minutes.

“i just hang out here to- uhh do business.” he said and cleared his voice. like he meant to say something else. you just nodded, “what kind of business, if you don’t mind me asking.”

“uhh you know drugs?” he said and awkwardly smile. “oh, i see.” you just simply answered. you can’t help but notice his face. he is not the most handsome. for you, loki is still the most face wise, but there is something in this man that makes you so attracted to him. “sooo, what’s an angel like you doing in the middle of the woods?” he asked while gesturing the woods.

you scratched your head, “i’m kinda lost.” you said, half meant and half lied. then he laughed. god, what a gorgeous laugh. you didn’t know that laughing could be that attractive until you saw his.

“where are you going? i can take you there.” he asked. “and don’t worry i’m not kind of a killer and sh*t.” he added. you smiled. “you sure? i mean i’m just a helpless lady. no one can hear me even if i will shout.”

“i’m a ladies man, m’lady.” he replied. you laughed, “okay, can you take me to-” you paused. ‘ebony? did you find a place for us?’ you asked your cat in your head. ‘meow.’ she responded. “forest hills trailer park?”

“visiting someone there?” he questioned. “uhh, no. i will move there.” you said. “what?” he said, face contoured confusion. you wrinkled your forehead. “why? what’s wrong with living there?”

“there’s nothing wrong. it’s just that, with face like yours, you don’t belong there.” he said. that made you upset. so you thought, ‘i am that ugly?' never in your life been said that to your face.

“no, no, no.” he laughed nervously. “it’s not what you think. i mean, you're gorgeous. you looked like an angel, a doll. you don’t deserve to live in there because it’s for the freaks. you know.” he said quietly. you reached over and grab his hand. “no one is deserving to be called a freak, you know. so what if your different, that doesn't make you any less an a human.” you said.

he stared at you for a longest time. you are starting to think he froze but he suddenly blinked. “i- uh, yes. thank you.” he muttered then let out a quiet laugh. “anyway, come m’lady. let me show you the humble abode of forest hills trailer park.” he said jokingly and stood up. you too, laughed and stood up while grabbing your things. the hike from the forest and to eddie’s van is short.

he opened the door of the passenger seat for you and helped you climb up. then speed walkingly went to the driver's seat. he settled in was about to put on his seat belt till he looked at you. you looked at him in confusion. "what?" you asked.

"your, uhh. here let me." before you could ask him again what was that about, he leaned into you. hand reaching out to the side. he buckled your sear belt. to be honest. you weren't thinking about that. you're thinking how close his face to yours and how tantalizing his smell was. woods, sweat, weeds and his cologne maybe. it was manly and heavenly. you can't help but close your eyes and inhaled his scent. you openede your eyes and found him staring at you. you blinked many times. he also too.

he immediately went back his seat and mumbled a little sorry. you just nodded and sat there quitely, still processing what happened awhile ago.

you felt blood rushing to your cheeks. you turned your head to look outside in order for hime not to notice you blushing. but, you are not the only one feeling the same way. eddie, while driving is cursing himself to the core. thinking why did he do thay especially it was the first you have met. his thought drifted thinking that you probably think his a weirdo or a freak because of that.

'nice way to ruin your first impression munson.' he thought to himself. to ease the tension, eddie turned the car radio on. black sabbath's iron man played in the stereo. eddie sang quietly and taps the steering wheel on the beat of the music.

"that's a cool song." you commented. he smiled. "really? never taken you for a heavy metal kind of girl."

you laughed. "no, not really. my taste of music is wide. it really depends. if i find it catchy, i'll like it."

eddie nodded and said. "oh really? i thought you're kind of a madonna girl."

you nervously laughed and grimaced. "yeah, maybe." to be honest you're kind of a (your fav artist) kind of girl. to tend to forgot that you weren't born in this period. the music is kind of different, but hey, music is timeless. and you seriously think that the song playing is really cool.

the whole ride was filled with an awkward tension considering you two just meet and got nothing to talk about. you thanked the stereo for playing songs that perked your interest also so that's what you two been talking about.

"you know," eddies paused. contemplating whether to share this information or not, but he did anyway. "i'm in a band."

"what? really?! that's so cool." you happily said. handsome and in a band? wow, that turned you on more.

"yeah, maybe you can watch us play sometimes. we play in the hideout every tuesdays." he suggested.

"oh, i would loved too." you said. you looked outside and noticed you have finally arrived in the trailer park. you saw ebony sitting outside of an empty trailer house, while licking her paws.

"that's it. that's where i moved too." you said to eddie. he nodded and drove just by the pathway to your new residence.

"thank you so much for taking me home. i really appreciate it. if you don't mind, can i invite you to dinner? you know to thank you." you said. hoping that he will agree.

"no need for that really but if you insist. sure." he said. he gnaw the side of his cheeks showing his nervousness. "if you want, we can hang out too. to get to know each other."

your heart beats faster at the thought of that. you two hanging out. you know its a bit fast when you just meet. but you can't deny that you are really attracted to the guy.

"sure." you just said. "you can come here by friday. i think i'm already settled by that time."

eddies smiled and nodded. you waved him off goodbye and watch his van turn to his street maybe to his house. you went inside your new abode and ebony followed looking forward to the upcoming friday.

Mermaid/sirens and monster. Please

Also I don’t come empty handed. Prepare for a dozen fic recommendations (all of which I’m in love with) and a brief description. All of these are on Ao3

Roadside attraction by popatochisp. Dinner on the road where a scertain skeleton comes to visit. An underfell Papyrus fic that’s really good.

Your Friendly-Neighborhood Witch by earthvibes. Readers a witch, chaotic and doing work with Greek gods and also came across a skeleton who, upon their meeting, punched her in the face. It was Stretch

Skull Joke by Gotcha. This fic is purely just humor. Not much plot just the lazy brothers doing stand up comedy mentioning reader every once in a while. Had me laughing a lot and is really good.

Poor Little Meow Meow by Mystique. This- THIS! I’ve never liked killer before but hood damnit this does things to me. Killer interacts with a veterinarian MC who is clueless to the danger she’s in. They have kittens. Kittens. Adorable.

The Fulfilling Ordeal of Being Known by nighttimelights . It’s a one shot smut but, ah, Horrortale sans is a girl and I’m questioning me sexuality. It’s damn good and a spin off of a harem series by the same author.

Skeleton Sisters and the Architect. Whooooooooo damn this is good. Fluffy, humorous, probably never going to be updated but for what’s there it’s so good!!

Skeletons Sisters Meet the Landlady by her as well. It’s them again, shot but finished and great.

A Sea of Hope by Aylish91. Pirates and skelly reader. Axe is a simp, they’re out at sea, everything’s great except when it’s not and readers just trying to understand what the hell her body’s about.

To pray on the hunters by periodically_annoying. Pretty good haven’t read it in a while but nice.

Stolen Souls by RubyPasha. It’s a twist on the “reader gets transported to the dating sun with the skelly bros” trope. Except she’s not supposed to be there and it’s a real slow burn. She’s kinda just living her life and trying not to die but also becoming friends and she needs hugs. Lots of hugs.

A spider in a graveyard by the same author. Readers Spider-Man’s student, her versions of the brothers and villains. She fights them, gets sucked into another universe by the machine and stuff happens. What’s nice is it’s a harem but with versions I’ve never read about. Outerfell, farmswap, Lustfell and such.

Hey anon, good timing because I found some naga fics after the post from last time. I Was Going For A Walk One Day by YinYinChan (the Swapfell one, glad I didn't make it up haha). Also, Bear Traps and Snakes by A_Gorgeous_Hobgoblin. I haven't read it yet, though.

As for the mermaid/siren goods, I'll throw in a few names but I'm very much disappointed that you didn't choose my mafia selection sob. Er, some might be spicy… Haven't read them in a while and some I wasn't subscribed to. So, um, read the tags carefully, ok?

.The Mirror Bay Depths by lieleycat, ranger reader meets big scary sea monster husband(s) -I'm… quoting the tags- and fluff ensues

.Flotsam & Jetsam by potatochisp, drabble series, I recall it's pretty cute

.The Danger that Lurks Underwater, A Series of Sinister Drabbles, Cliffside (I made a fanart of it!) by AKA_Indulgence, no summary, just go read it and enjoy the ride

.Shells and Pearls by syst3m_of_3rr0rs and Cold Currents by JacketBones Oof, I… acutally don't remember much of these? But Reader is the siren here, so it's always good for a change.

.Sleepin' with the Fishes by Catsitta, because I'm not the only one willing to mix mobtale with absolutely any other AU.

---

Now, thanks for your selection, anon hehe. They sound like fun, and I actually recognize a few titles (Poor Little Meow Meow, A spider in a graveyard, A Sea of Hope) and names, like potatochisp and... um? @aylish91 ? ∑(°∀°) *slowly connecting the dots* Wait, we were mutuals all this time...??

#ask #ask me #fanfictions #recommendation #not me sadly scrolling past the mobtale fics while answering this #your loss anon *sob*#mermaid are also very nice though #prbly one of my favorite trope #still...#anyway enjoy #aylish I KNEW you sounded familiar #one of my dum moment haha #you're a lovely writer AND reader ( ˙▿˙ )#anon

Here’s Meta Knight! His design hasn’t really changed, I’m still really happy with him (:

I’ve got a few general notes about him, but then I’ll get into his place in the Galactic Crisis AU…

So for general notes!

-The most striking thing about him without his armor are the robot parts. These are leftovers from the Mecha Knight incident.

-Speaking of which…the scar over his eye is on the opposite side of DMK’s which I just. Hehe. Thought I should point out…. cause ya know. Mirrors…reflections……

-His arm used to be Haltman colored but he painted over it…also eventually once Magolor rejoins the cast, he helps Meta get his eye back to a more normal color.

-He wears his mask for a lot of reasons..before he got all the Haltman stuff, he mostly wore it to conceal his cute face since he was obsessed with being taken seriously. Afterwards, he wore it a lot out of shame and fear of what had happened to him, also so Kirby wouldn’t be upset because. Well. If you haven’t noticed his fucked up eye is very similar to Galacta’s after he got possessed….

-One of the main reasons though is he’s sensitive to light! Kinda like a bat. If he’s in a normally lit environment without his mask for too long, he gets migraines.

-He’s ridiculously short…he’s 4’10 without his heels but about 5’ with them.

-This isn’t too normal for his species, he’s just really tiny…

-Oh also. Hehe. Meta Knight is just the title he gave himself. He has a name but not a lot of people know what it is and he’s fine with that.

-ALSO ALSO THIS IS SUPER UNRELATED I JUST REALLY LIKE THAT SINCE HE’S GOOD WITH MAGIC HE CAN TURN INTO A REALLY CUTE LITTLE BAT I PROMISE I HAVE REASONS FOR THIS OTHER THAN THAT ITS CUTE

I think that covers most of my notes for his design and stuff…now onto the story stuff for my AU….

I guess we’ll just start with a little bit of his backstory since it’s pretty relevant to the bigger story! Also I’d like to mention that Meta’s section of the AU is where a lot of the major game story changes start to happen…I’m still figuring out how the story works there’s just one part that I’ll get to later that’ll kinda mess some stuff up but I’ll figure it out eventually…

ANYWAY

Oh right, if you need context for some of this go check out Morpho’s ref!

-So. Yes. Meta is a descendent of the ancient Altari army of Halcandran knights.

-Update: finally have a name for the humanoid variant of the species! Yippee!

-There were groups of Ancients who tried to keep their traditions and culture alive, which is how we get people like Magolor who still remember the Ancients and even know about certain relics of old.

-Anyway. Back to Meta Knight. He was raised by a family of such knights trying to keep the tradition alive. However, none of them were Altaris, as all most of them died out when Halcandra was destroyed.

-As such, Meta is sort of the outcast of the group. Altaris are badically presumed to be extinct, and there’s a certain stigma against them doing any sort of combat or fighting for fears of another Galacta Knight.

-This is made even worse for poor Meta when his wings come in and they’re bat-like and “demonic”.

-Meta hated being feared like this, so he quickly took to hiding his wings and not using magic.

-Meta is eventually outcast from the group when they learned he summoned Galacta Knight in a feeble attempt to beat him and finally prove to them that he wasn’t Galacta Knight. Which backfired spectacularly.

-I should mention. This group was very tight knit so meta didn’t really get out much/see other planets.

-After his exile, Meta just. Wandered. Looking for jobs. And was mortified to find out that instead of being feared for being an Alrari, he was considered adorable and incapable.

-As a side note I should mention that outside of these small groups, most people don’t know anything about the Ancients.

-So anyway. Yeah. People see Meta and how short he is and how cute his face is and they won’t let him actually work as a knight because they think he’s too squishy.

-This is beyond mortifying for Meta, so he just shuts down and focuses on making himself as serious/knightly as possible, which is when he adopted the name Meta Knight, and vowed to never show anyone his face.

-This resulted in years of unhappiness as he forced himself into a persona that wasn’t really himself...but, it got him work.

-Eventually he wound up on Dreamland, working for a certain self proclaimed king.

-This is where Morpho and Kirby enter the story again. Since Meta had worked so many jobs and made an impression on people with his insane skills and intimidating personality, he had a bit of a reputation. When Morpho is looking for a safe place for Kirby, she catches wind of this knight and learns of his Halcandran heritage.

-Morpho is convinced this is the only person who may be able to recognize Kirby and keep him safe. She’d likely seen the factions of people trying to keep Ancient culture alive, but all of them had an intense fear and hatred for Galacta Knight and, by extension, herself and likely Kirby.

-This is what convinces Morpho to follow him to Dreamland, where she tries to make contact to Meta Knight. This fails, however.

-After watching him for some time, she finally decides she can trust him with Kirby. And so she unseals Kirby and brings him to Dreamland.

-Now. When Meta discovers this strange orb child (Kirby is still in his void-like form at this point) he freaks the fuck out. He very quickly recognizes it as part of the ancient legends that were taught to him growing up.

-A big part of why he freaks out so much is because he knows this orb was associated with Galacta Knight, and people were terrified of him becoming the next Galactic Crisis and. Well. Suddenly having this thing that was associated with Galacta. Yeah.

-Anyway. He’s very quick to hide Kirby, as he really doesn’t want to be associated with Galacta Knight again. Also he doesn’t just ditch him because he knows this is incredibly important, also Morpho in her butterfly form makes sure Meta won’t abandon him.

-Thiisss is where the story gets pretty complicated and undecided, as obviously this greatly affects the story of the mainline Kirby games. And I’m still figuring out how much of them I want to change and how much I want to keep.

-All I know though is that Meta works to uncover information about Kirby while trying to keep him safe, and Kirby eventually grows into his humanoid form, taking after his parents, namely Galacta Knight.

-Meta grows especially attached to Kirby because he knows that if people like his old family found him, they’d hate him and fear him just like they used to do with Meta.

-I should mention that my Meta is really not a great father figure. He’s bad with kids, since he really doesn’t know how to treat them. However, he’s someone who really values those close to him and will stop at nothing to protect them, so he takes on a sort of fatherly/older brother role to Kirby while they’re growing up.

-I also wanna mention that Morpho uses this time to search for a cure to Galacta Knight’s corruption, often tagging along with the two of them and watching over Kirby as much as she can in her limited contact with the living world.

-Once Kirby can talk, they begin to reveal parts of the Galactic Crisis that nobody would have known, as so much knowledge has been lost to the past. They often have vague nightmares about the first two years of their life, but Meta is able to help calm them down.

-I know I’m starting to get really unorganized and vague here…that’s because this part of the story has always been really fuzzy to me.

-I know at some point I want Meta to summon Galacta through the Novas…maybe he does this before he finds Kirby so he can like. Confront his demons or whatever since he’s so used to being compared to Galacta Knight. Something like that.

-Maybe the Novas are also used to wish him back once Meta is able to truly understand what happened so long ago. Morpho also really helps in this, I like the idea that she eventually reveals her true form to Meta someday so she can actually communicate with him for a bit.

-Anyway all I know for sure is eventually they’re able to cure Galacta and release him.

-Galacta, once he’s rid of his possession, doesn’t remember when he was possessed, and only has the same vague nightmares Kirby had of the past. They’re all too scared to confront him about what happened, so Morpho guides him to Halcandra, where he remembers everything.

-He begs Morpho to kill him and take his form and live a better life than he did. This is where Morpho admits what she did in life and that they both did horrible things.

-Eventually she’s able to convince him to rejoin the world and work to help people and finally raise their son together.

-Not sure how this will happen either but Morpho will eventually gets her form back and can reside in the living world a lot longer….

-ANYWAY. SORRY THE END GOT SO UNORGANIZED AND OFF TOPIC FROM META BUT I REALLY WANTED TO RAMBLE ABOUT HOW I IMAGINE THE STORY ENDING

-There's still a lot of missing pieces and things I'm still figuring out but yeah!
