A friend of mine asked me once how I could tell the difference between experiencing romantic and platonic attraction. I'd like to restate my thoughts here, since I think they could be useful for some people!
First of all, Intensity =/= Romance. Platonic feelings can be just as strong as romantic ones, although the amatonormativity we live in pretends otherwise. Because of that, I used to often wonder if my squishes are actually crushes. Nowadays, I just go through a series of questions and feel much more at peace afterwards!
"Do I have a crush on this person?"
Ask yourself:
Do I want to kiss them?
On the mouth? With tongue?
Do I want them to kiss me?
Do I want to go on dates with them?
Alone? Would I like it more or less in a group setting with other friends?
Do I like the idea of being seen as a "pair?"
Do I want to live with them?
Forever?
Do I want to marry them?
What does an ideal wedding look like, in my head?
Do I like the idea of them confessing to me?
If I have any interest in children, am I interested in raising children alongside them?
Do I want to exchange gifts with them annually on dates like Valentine's and/or an anniversary?
Do I (in general) enjoy traditional romantic gifts like flowers or jewelry?
Would I enjoy receiving those gifts from the person in question?
If they told me they just got a new partner, would I feel negatively about that?
Do I feel that same negativity when other people I'd never be interested in romantically (family members, etc.) announce they have new partners? Or is it just the person in question?
If sex is a romantic thing for me, do I want to have sex with them?
Answering "yes" to a single one of these questions doesn't mean I have a crush. But answering "yes" to many of them would indicate romantic feelings.
For me, this is a relief, because when I apply these questions to my friends and squishes, I typically react with disgust and RESOUNDING "no"s. Kissing, dating, annual gift obligations, marriage, and co-parenting all squick me out and make me recoil.
A lot of aros (especially baby or questioning ones) might also answer "yes" to a hypothetical they haven't experienced themselves, but then change their answer to "no" later. I know I used to think being confessed to would be flattering (even by someone I didn't reciprocate), but now that it's happened to me a few times, I know how awkward and awful it is. Same with kissing; I thought I'd like it because everyone in media likes it, but actually trying it (with girls and boys) has firmly cemented me in the reality that I just hate mouth kissing.
But, I still thought it might be useful for some aros who struggle with their identity due to all the arophobia and amatonormativity trying to make them question their feelings!
(It might also be helpful for someone trying to figure out if they're gay/bi and have a crush on someone, idk)

Authors Note: i started writing this before we knew so :/, if y/n is insufferable it’s bc she’s a targtower and has no parental figure ://, i won’t have anyone deny aegon locked in this season and looks good while doing it 🫣 anyways this got out of hand and it's super wild so enjoy 🧍🏼♀️
Word Count: 3.5k
⊹₊⋆☁︎⋆⁺₊⋆ ☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆☁︎⋆₊ ⊹ ⊹₊⋆☁︎⋆⁺₊⋆ ☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆☁︎⋆₊ ⊹ ⊹₊⋆☁︎⋆⁺₊⋆
I’ve been trying to push back the army of handmaidens that have been invading our chambers for the past two hours. Gods know why I must be fussed over when all Aegon and I will be doing is sitting above everyone else and looking down on men beating each other bloody.
They have finally finished shoving pins in my hair making sure my braids are secured tightly to my scalp. Jewelry has started being added much to my displeasure. I turn my head and exhale deeply at the massive gown they’ve brought in for me to wear.
“I’m not fucking wearing that. I’m to be sitting. Find something more comfortable.” I roll my eyes walking over to find my cup of wine.
“The Queen-“ one handmaiden starts.
“My mother can wear what she pleases and I’ll do the same.” I say bringing the cup to my lips.
“Must you terrorize them?” Alicent brushes past them while offering apologetic smiles as she comes to my side.
“I’m not wearing a massive ballgown when all me and Aegon are doing is watching a stupid tourney.” I finish my cup sighing.
“I say she wears nothing.” Aegon announces as he enters our chambers.
“Don’t be such a pig in front of my maids.” I scowl at him knowing there’s a hint of a smile on my lips.
“I thought you liked when I acted like a pig.” he laughs and then snorts loudly in my face.
“Aegon!” I shout at him pushing him away from me.
“Enough you two. Aegon go finish getting dressed so y/n can do the same. Gods know what I was thinking when I had you two wed.” she sighs shaking her head.
Alicent walks over to my wardrobe and begins looking for other options. She pulls out a couple of gowns that I have yet to wear that she deems appropriate. I settle for a black dress that requires no corset thankfully. There are two slits up the side of my legs that meet at my hips to allow air flow and mobility. The sleeves trickle down my arms encasing them in silk and embroidery.
“I expect you to be in the main hall in twenty minutes. I’m going to check on Aegon and we will meet you down there.” she looks me over and nods.
The handmaids swap my jewelry for more subtle accents and offer me black sandals that strap up my legs. I can take no more of their fussing and I shoo them off and exit our chambers with a full cup of wine in hand.
“Hello daughter!” Viserys calls over to me from the chair he’s sitting in as I enter the main halls. He looks absolutely terrible today and I’m hoping the disgust isn’t written all over my face.
“Hey.” I offer raising my glass grimacing.
“How come she can keep her cup?” I hear Aegon whine as he approaches me with Alicent trailing after him.
“Because it seems no one has had the brain to take it from her.” Alicent seethes as she rips the cup out of my hand.
“Is this tourney not in celebration of us and our anniversary? We should be allowed to drink.” I roll my eyes and grab Aegons arm.
We all but stomp to our carriage in the main courtyard. The guards move out of our way so we can disappear into the enclosed space. As I’m walking up the short steps I start to feel Aegons hands creep up my legs.
“Get off of me you beast or I’ll have you tied up and dragged behind my carriage to the tourney grounds.” I turn around and scold him.
“Mm don’t threaten me so publicly. You know how I love it.” he smiles as his hands go further up. “I also know how much you love when I play with you in public.” I grab his wrist and pull him into the carriage with me slamming the doors behind of us.
“Why must you ceaselessly try to embarrass me in front of others.” I push him to the other side of the carriage.
“Oh come on, y/n. You know I jest.” he sighs and leans back. “What can I do to make it better?” he pouts from his seat.
I turn my head and cross my arms as I peek out of the windows as the carriage begins moving through the city streets. I plan to ignore him until he comes up with a solution on his own. Curse our mother for taking away our wine. I turn my head when I feel the carriage slightly shift and see he’s on his knees in front of me.
“Do you want to come before we get to the tourney?” he asks through his thick lashes. His hands gliding up my legs once more.
“Do you think you can make me come in the next 10 minutes?” I raise my eyebrow looking down at him.
Aegon disappears under my skirt and leaves sloppy kisses on my inner thighs. He grunts in approval at my lack of panties and attaches his mouth to my clit. Soft whimpers fall from my mouth and I try to hide them behind a hand so not to give Aegon the satisfaction. He spreads my legs even wider and slams two fingers into me.
“Fuck Aegon,” I cry out grinding against his mouth as my thighs try to close around his head.
He moans into my core as his fingers start a ferocious pace. I’m arching off the cushions as my legs being to shake from his skilled tongue and fingers. He curls his fingers and my body goes taught. A sob rips through me as pleasure courses through my body. Aegon pulls back and smirks up at me.
“Am I forgiven?” he asks licking his fingers clean and taking his seat across from me again.
“No.” I say as the carriage comes to a halt.
I open the doors and exit leaving Aegon to chase after me. He almost falls out of the carriage trying to reach my side before I enter the tourney grounds. He huffs in annoyance when he reaches my side and grabs my hand more firmly than necessary.
“You’re more stubborn than usual, my love.” he sneers as we start up the stairs.
“You’re more annoying than usual, my love.” I hiss back at him as we start up the stairs.
We make our way up to the royal box and take seats in the back. Alicent tries to convince us to move closer to the rails to be more easily seen but Aegon is already pulling me down next to him. She shakes her head and goes to her seat without another word.
Aegon waves down a servant and sees to it wine is brought to us. Two glasses of wine and the rest of the bottle are immediately brought to our table and left for us. I empty half of my glass and Aegon is quick to refill it once more. I breathe out deeply and relax back into the couch we’re sharing.
“Are you done with your attitude?” Aegon hums pulling me closer to him.
“Am I ever?” I smile turning to him. He captures my lips quickly and I become even more intoxicated by his kiss as he deepens it by burying his hand in my hair and molding my lips to his we care not of any spectators.
“You two shouldn’t make such a spectacle.” Aemond scoffs claiming the seat in front of us.
“This tourney is for us. I’d fuck her on the railing if that’s what she were to want.” Aegon glares at him scoffing.
“You two are animals.” Aemond looks us both over with disgust.
“You could do well with some depravity.” I hum smirking at him.
“Indeed,” Aegon chuckles shaking his head. “You can come sit up here with us.” he raises an eyebrow to Aemond.
“I will do no such thing.” his cheeks redden at our brazenness.
“Enough. All of you!” Alicent storms up the stairs her face red and scrunched with anger.
“Mother-“ Aemond starts but she’s quick to cut him off.
“No. I’ve had enough today and the sun is barely in the sky.” she says exasperated. “I don’t want to have to come up here again.” the threat clear in her voice as she turns on her heel and makes her way back to her seat.
We all remain quiet after that never wanting to push her too far. Sure she’s never been a great mother, but she was a child raising children. The tournament begins after the opening speeches are made and Aegon and I toast to the knights with the crowd before we return back to our seat.
“Why did we ever agree to this?” Aegon sighs resting his head on my shoulder.
“We didn’t.” I chuckle resting my head on his as the first knights enter the sands.
The two men clash into each other loudly and the crowds begin to roar. The duels go on for some time and soon get boring. I’m yawning until a young knight catches my attention from the wanton brutality he offers his opponents. Aegons interest seemed piqued as his eyes follow the knight up to the rails.
“I seek the Princess y/n’s favor.” the young knight announces.
My eyebrows shoot up as I process his words. I untangle myself from Aegon who’s smiling after me. I begin to saunter down the stairs and lean over the rail to get a closer look at him.
“Hello, my brave knight,” I coo down to him. “Before I offer you my favor I wish to look upon you.” I offer him a simpering smile.
“Ser Benjicot Blackwood, Ben, if it pleases you.” he removes his helm smirking and slightly lowering his head.
“The pleasure is mine, Ben.” I melt as I gaze upon his beautiful bloodied face. “You have my favor.” I sultry reply as I slide my crown of flowers down his lance.
“You honor me, Princess.” he grins up at me winking as he turns back around for his next duel. I practically skip back up the stairs to Aegon, giddy from how handsome the knight was.
“I want him.” I whisper in Aegons ear as I join him on the couch again.
“I do too.” Aegon chuckles lowly pulling me in closer.
The rest of the tourney goes by quickly. Ben was never bested and won the tournament. He claimed it was account on my favor and said he would be indebted to me. I smile down at him from the rail with pink cheeks. Aegon is at my side smiling to Ben as his arm wraps around my waist.
“You did well! You should go out and celebrate in the streets tonight, my friend!” Aegon subtly suggests to Ben.
“You honor me, my Prince.” Ben smiles and bows his head.

After a late dinner with the family Aegon and I retire to our chambers for the night. We prepare to journey out and grab a bag full of coin. We tie our cloaks on and then slip into the tunnels within the Red Keep. We know the way perfectly and we soon are entering the most popular pleasure house to find who we seek.
“Happy anniversary to the Prince and Princess!” a man shouts from atop a table in the back.
The pleasure house erupts in cheers as the man gets down and has them make way for him to come to us. As he nears my heart begins to pound in my chest as I realize it’s Ben. He reaches for my hand and places a kiss on it and surprisingly does the same to Aegon.
“Oh I like you.” Aegon smiles darkly at Ben.
We follow him back over to his table and he kicks two of his friends out of the way for us. He eyes us curiously as we lounge back into the couch looking at him with low lids. As he stares back at us it seems as if everyone melts away. Aegons hand is resting on my bare thigh and slowly travels higher which Ben has been glancing at.
“How long have you two been wed?” Ben asks lowly licking his lips.
“Seems like forever.” Aegon lets out a breathy chuckle as his fingers slip underneath the fabric of my dress keeping eye contact with Ben.
“Should I get us a private room?” Ben rasps adjusting himself in his pants.
“In a bit. She likes to put on a show.” Aegon smirks as his fingers slide up my slit.
I let out loan whine and Ben’s eyes shoot to mine. Aegon lazily circles my clit and my thighs start to spread. He kisses my neck and begins to speed up his ministrations. My eyes shut as my hips start to grind into his hand seeking to take their own pleasure.
“Look at me, Princess.” Ben’s voice goes straight to my core and my eyes snap open and lock with his.
Aegons fingers slip into me as I bite my lip to keep from crying out. Ben’s cheeks have become more flushed as he watches me fuck myself on Aegons hand. Aegon uses his thumb to circle my clit as his fingers continue pounding into me. My thighs squeeze around his hand as I come around his fingers, whimpering as Ben looks at me with a devilish smirk. Aegon slowly removes his fingers and begins to bring them up to his mouth.
“May I, my Prince?” Ben holds out his hand for Aegons.
Ben’s hand wraps around Aegons wrist and brings his hand to his mouth. He wraps his lips around Aegons fingers and licks them clean. Aegon groans as he watches Ben clean me off of him. I watch with heavy lids at how perfectly Ben fits with us.
“Don’t be mad I did this first.” Aegon offers to me over his shoulder quickly.
Before I process his words he’s pulled Ben’s lips against his. I gasp out in surprise and watch as Ben and Aegon lose themselves to the kiss. Ben bites down on Aegons lip causing some blood to speckle on the surface. Aegon groans and pulls back with pleasure swirling in his eyes.
Ben’s eyes look to mine and before I know it his lips are upon me. I sigh out in pleasure as I taste myself and Aegons blood on his tongue. I bite down on Ben’s lip in return for Aegon and he moans into my mouth and droplets of blood appear. He kisses me more fiercely as I mold to his mouth.
Aegons hands travel up my sides and to my neck. He brushes my hair to the side and attaches his hot mouth to my pulse. Ben pulls our lips back as a trail of saliva and blood still tethers us. He looks at Aegon and me hungrily and rises.
“Let’s go somewhere a bit more secluded.” Ben smiles offering both of us hands to us.
We flow behind Ben entranced by him as he parts a curtain for us. He closes them shut behind of us and turns to us with a wicked smirk on his face. Aegon pulls me down on to the bed with him and pushes me onto my back.
I prop myself up on my elbows and see Ben starting to stalk over to us on the bed. Aegon spreads my thighs and moves my skirts to expose my dripping core. Ben’s eyes lock onto me as he wets his lips. He lowers himself on the bed and snakes his way up to my thighs.
“May I taste you, Princess?” Ben’s breath fans across my heat as he looks up to me from between my thighs.
“Please,” I whine bucking my hips up towards his face.
He quickly wraps his arms around my thighs and pulls me to his mouth. He licks at my clit feverishly causing my back to arch off the bed. Aegon pulls the top of my dress aside to expose my breasts. Whimpers are spilling from my mouth at the pleasure coursing through my body.
My fingers curl into Ben’s hair and tug as his tongue continues its vigorous assault on my clit. He groans into my core as Aegon pinches one of ny nipples particularly hard. My legs try to squeeze around Ben’s head and he chuckles lowly.
“Fuck Ben,” I cry, back arching off the bed as I come all over his face. He continues to lick at my core sending jolts through my body. Ben detaches himself from me and starts to kiss up my body and lays next to me.
“I want to see you come on his cock next.” Aegon hums rising from the bed to get a cup of wine. As he saunters back over to us with his glass Ben sits up and his hands rise up to Aegons hips pulling him between his legs.
“What about you, my Prince? Would you like some pleasure?” Ben smirks up to Aegon as pushes him back a bit so he can sink to the floor on his knees.
“Mm, how kind of you.” Aegon gazes down at him cupping his jaw.
“I’m very devout, my Prince.” Ben whispers raking his hands up Aegons legs.
“His mouth is very skilled.” I hum as the pleasure still thrums through my veins.
“I’ll decide that for myself.” Aegon declares smirking down at Ben with dark eyes.
I sit further up as I watch Ben’s fingers unlace Aegons trousers. He wasted no time freeing Aegon and gripping his hard length in his hands. Ben’s thumb swipes over Aegons red and leaking tip. Aegons groans as Ben pumps his length, teasing his tip as his fist makes its way up.
Aegons head tosses back as Ben swirls his tongue around the head of his cock. I slowly slip out of bed to come up behind Aegon and slowly kiss his neck and run my nails down his chest. Ben slowly takes Aegon in his mouth and he lets out the softest whimper. Ben starts a faster pace while holding on to Aegons thighs to steady himself. Aegon is a mess of panting and groaning as mine and Ben’s names fall from his lips.
“Fuck,” Aegons hips begin to shutter as he releases himself down Ben’s throat.
Ben slowly pulls off of Aegon causing him to whimper. Once Ben becomes eye level again Aegon pulls him into a harsh kiss. They pull apart breathlessly and then Ben quickly turns and captures my lips once more. My hands fly to his shirt and begin lifting it off. He pulls back from me as Aegon finishes removing it.
Mine and Aegons hands trail all over his body worshiping every inch. The three of us have no end or beginning as our breaths mingle as we finish undressing each other. We’re a clash of lips and teeth as all three of us tumble to the bed.
“Please, Ben,” I whine as his fingers find my wet core.
“I think the Princess wants you to fuck her.” Aegon chuckles as he begins to fondle my breasts.
“Yes, please Ben,” I beg lifting my hips up to his hand.
“I want to hear you say it.” I can hear the smirk in his voice as Ben’s lips ghost over mine.
“Please, fuck me, please,” I whine as he pulls his hand away from my core.
He sheaths himself inside of me, splitting me in two. My legs wrap around his waist as he starts pounding into me at a brutal pace. Aegon continues to grope my breasts and pinch my nipples which has my eyes rolling into the back of my head.
“You’re doing so good, Princess.” Ben grunts as he lifts one of my legs pushing into me at a deeper angle.
Aegon is whispering soft praises in my ear as his fingers continue to pinch and tease. His hand begins to slide down my torso and begins to circle around my throbbing clit. A moan rips through me as I clench down around Ben as my orgasm washes over me. I feel him begin to fill me prolonging my pleasure.
He stills inside of me and rests his forehead on mine. Aegon leans in near us and beings peppering kisses on our necks. Ben slowly pulls out as I whine at the loss. We all fall back on the bed together in a mess of limbs and heavy breathing.
“You know, me and y/n could use a new sworn protector. You could have the position if you were to want it.” Aegon offers propping himself up to look at Ben.
“It would be my honor to watch over and protect you both.” Ben looks at us with pleasure glazed eyes.

I don't have a solid plot attached to this idea, I don't currently really have the desire to drop everything to go write "The Hobbit" fanfiction, but for a while I've had the idea of *gestures vaguely" some post-canon story (probably some form of fix-it) taking place before, during, and after a grand dwarven opera performance in Erebor.
Because I am absolutely certain that the Lonely Mountain had an absolutely stunningly beautiful Royal Opera House (and plenty of other, less grand performance halls) that, at the city's height, was putting at least one show every single day. Orchestral symphonies, operas and operettas, dramatic plays, dance performances... you name it, they had it and more. The various cultures of Middle Earth evidently ADORE music, dwarves absolutely included. The Company all bring instruments to Bag End to play and sing themselves off before their quest!
Also, beyond the music side of things, with how dwarves are named as master crafters? Smiths and toymakers and magicians? No way that they did not have some of the most gorgeous costumes, sets, and effects on the planet. Dwarves would go WILD with their articulated stage puppets, I know it.
One of my biggest issues with the film trilogy is that it failed to deeply explore the Company as people who had lost their home, beauty and culture included. Smaug not only killed countless people, entire families, and leave many of the survivors poor and desperate, the dragon went on to hoard their heirlooms and life's work and leave these priceless gold treasures UNUSED. It is an additional heartbreak to imagine Smaug tearing through Erebor neighborhood by neighborhood, house by house, so that he could tear out every gemstone in, say, mosaic made by someone's grandmother that sat above the breakfast table every morning. To think that Smaug in the aftermath tore magical lanterns off the walls, the sort that might have been decorated with animals or flowers, to make some daycare walkway just a little more cheery for the children, and in his greed left a dead city in the dark.
The live-action movies put both Smaug and the Balrog in these... absolutely enormous chambers that serve somewhat unclear purposes. The king's treasure vault and a former marketplace, I think? (Moria has been raised by goblins, I can forgive the emptiness.) It's a quick visual depiction of Thror's uncontrollable gold lust to give him a Scrooge McDuck room, sure, instead of anything with an actual organizational system (normally, I assume dwarves are big on sorting their vaults if they have one). Super big columns and hallways and staircases do somewhat effectively communicate the "lost glory" of Moria (I am very fond of these movies!!!), even if I also think it's not as interesting as it could have been. And the other obvious purpose of big, open warehouse-like spaces is 1) it's easier to animate the big creatures moving around in them generally and 2) it allows the films to show off the full-bodied visual spectacle of their big creatures.
But I think it would have also kicked ass to put Smaug in Erebor's former Royal Opera House or something, some enormous theatre decorated across generations. That could be big! The ART (statues, fountains, banners, windows, general architecture) that you could put on the exterior, which has had its face ripped open for the dragon to get inside? The ART that you could put INSIDE (mosaics, murals, and more) as Bilbo sneaks inside? Ohhh, you could include so many potential lore references with thematic relevance!
Also, Bilbo could get jump-scared by old articulated stage puppets or something. IT'S THE DRAGON-! Oh, no, it's some old opera prop. (Yes, we're talking more about an actual adaptation of "The Hobbit" rather than fanfiction concepts now.)
Sure, there's raw material treasure and coins hoarded here in this place, but there would also be musical instruments and toys and household tools and cookware and fancy dishes, wedding jewelry and anniversary gifts and family shrines and festival costumes, fountain statues and street lamps and mailboxes and business signs, and other evidence that people really LIVED here. These are all ordinary objects that Bilbo recognizes from the Shire.
We could tie these objects directly back to objects we saw featured in Bilbo's home early in this adaptation, which he was trying to "protect" from the dwarves during their "That's what Bilbo Baggins hates" song. There are half-burned portraits of people's late parents here too. Did he think that there weren't any dwarves who made doilies or handkerchiefs embroidered with flowers? Of course they made things like that too.
It's perfectly symbolic to, say, place Smaug's bed in an area like the king's throne room. The dragon is now the King Under The Mountain. But I think it would be deliciously haunting to have the throne room of Erebor be empty, the throne half-broken, the silver stripped from the walls and moved elsewhere, because Smaug doesn't care about Thror's old audience chamber. What's a dwarf king to a dragon? He burns the same as all the others. The dragon has instead made his bed in a beautiful public place of art and culture that was for the people, by the people, surrounded by the lovingly crafted belongings of the ordinary people he killed. Gold is gold to a dragon whether it's in a coin or a candlestick.
I think if you really want to sell one of the key messages of "The Hobbit", which in my opinion is: "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." then you ought to throw yourself behind EREBOR being a place where food and cheer and song had value, not just the Shire. Thorin isn't lost at the end because he's a dwarf and dwarves don't value such things, but because he as a specific person who makes the mistake of weighing pride and gold over people, and he comes to regret that on his deathbed.
So, back to the fanfiction idea, I think that Erebor had music again in it as soon as dwarves started living in it again. It will take decades and decades before the Royal Opera House is half as splendid as it was before, and there is a performance there with beautiful costumes and puppets and sets comparable to those that came before, some traditional historical show that is part of specific seasonal holiday for dwarves. But that very first winter, when the future still looked grim, I think the dwarves cleared out a small stage and cast the roles of this traditional musical retelling of their history among them, based on who knew the parts best, because they aren't just miners and smiths and soldiers, and there was music again in Erebor that winter despite all the damage that the dragon did.

Okay okay so like??? How did we end up in this situation??? Because you knew Lorenzo in school but that man was a BITCHHHHHHH okay? Like he was a DICK and not someone you ever wanted to spend time around. I mean, yeah, he was hot, but that personality was simply distasteful, you arent even sure he knew you existed the 7 years you were in school together
So surprise surprise, when you graduated, (and im gonna be real with you this would only happen if youre a pureblood OR MAYBE HARD MAYBE a half-blood with two very powerful and influential magic parents) dearest mummy and daddy decided;
“Hm! More power and influence?? Good idea!”
And with that, you were arranged to marry into the Berkshire family! How clever! How smart! How lucky for you!
Except, when you’re finally alone with Lorenzo for the first time, he doesnt even bother looking at you as he says “You’re married to me only for show. I will not be your doting husband, but if you want to live a good, long life, you’ll be the perfect wife for me.”
And you’re like. Wtf? Because? This is not how marriage works?
Alas, the ceremony goes on. His lips are addictively soft as you kiss at the alter, and after that? Gone from your line of sight. No where to be found. Actually- you do find him in a study with all his friends, drinking fire whiskey around the fire place. They laugh about the situation, one of them speaking up to say “hey, could be worse. At least she’s hot.”
And you’re like. Wow. Really classy. Very funny. (It hurt your feelings quite a bit)
And trust, you do not see Lorenzo for a very long time. Like. You’re in separate bedrooms, on separate sides of his large estate, with purposely different schedules.
You’ll see him in a corridor occasionally and its like seeing a ghost fr
Regardless, youre expected to attend formal things with him, and you’re expected to stand by his side. And this is really the first time you two get along. Cuz y’see? Lorenzo loves to gossip. A real manwhore for it. So whenever he sees a woman sneaking away from her husband to see another man?? Oh boy he needs to tell someone and you are the physically closest person to him.
And Lorenzo is… aghast really to learn how… witty you are. He was ultimately flabbergasted. He found you… pleasant to talk to.
So he begins joining you at dinner, spouting off drama between his co-workers, updating you on his friends, on himself.
It actually is quite a relaxing way to decompress at the end of the day. And, to add to all of that, you start to see your husband around more often. He actually seeks out your company at the end of a long work day, sitting next to you in the library while you read. Just to be around you.
Then the gifts start.
Showering you in gifts- new clothes, jewelry, flowers, this and that, gives you his card and takes you out for an evening of shopping. Bonus if he gets ro help you choose what dress you like more.
Then he gets touchy, absentmindedly grabbing your hand in a crowd, letting your legs drape across his lap while you sit together, an arm around your shoulders if youre close enough.
He kisses you for the first time on your anniversary, and asks you out on a date. A real date. That should have happened long before the wedding.
And life is good after that <3

Vox X Alastor's Marriage Headcanons
❌️Romantic
✅️Platonic
TW: Vox being a dick? Alastor sometimes being a dummy
Description: Different ways Vox involves himself in Alastor's marriage
Due to his constant surveillance, Vox knows just about everything he can about your marriage with Alastor
Once Alastor had forgotten your wedding anniversary and who ended up letting him know before the day was over? Vox.
When Alastor saw him coming he was sure Vox was there to pick a fight when suddenly flowers/chocolates/jewelry were being shoved into his arms
"You fucker! I can't believe you forgot your own anniversary! Do you know what your wife is doing to make today special for you!?"
Alastor was too stunned to even register the flick on the forehead Vox gives him before he leaves, still ranting about how Alastor is a careless husband
Or another time you were being moody for an entire week and Alastor couldn't figure out why but Vox knew the exact reason
He was all too happy to rub it in Alastor's face whenever he could, which was a lot considering how busy Alastor was with overlord meetings and such
Popping up on a nearby TV to give a news prompt about how Alastor's marriage was on the rocks and the clueless overlord didn't even know why
Smugly sipping a drink and smirking at Alastor from across the room while making jabs about his wife
Or stopping by the hotel to give you small gifts and his condolences because your husband is such an idiot
Or just making the reason for your moodiness worse by poking the bear and reminding you what he did
"Poor, poor Y/N...~ I'm sure you've been feeling so neglected by your husband lately~ He hasn't been making any time for you at all~"
Only to end up with the door slammed in his face and a cracked screen
Thinks it's hilarious when you two are fighting until it's not, which is usually when you two are too angry to react to his prodding anymore
It gets to a point where he's sick of it and it's no fun so then he's trying to get you guys to make amends
Sending you flowers pretending they're from Alastor, setting you two up on surprise dates and trying to subtly make you two miss each other
Plays a lot more romantic shows on the TV, putting in ads for jewelry/clothes that you might like whenever Alastor walks by a shop
He's weirdly excited too when it works but that's only because now he can go back to messing with Alastor
Will actually chase away anybody else who tries to come in between you two because that's HIS JOB
"Valentino! She's a married woman!!"
"AH! MIERDA!! That hurts!"
OR
"Oh! Y/N, just the woman I was looking to see. Just a quick heads up but there's some bright eye'd thing who-"
"Say no more, Vox."
It kills him if he doesn't know what's going on in your marriage and he'll eventually show up at your door
Usually holding tea or coffee, pretending it's some sort of important business until you two are sitting together in silence
"So...how are things between you and Alastor?"
"...Vox..."
Immediately cracks and throws himself at your feet-
"I'M DESPERATE! ARE YOU GUYS GONNA DIVORCE!? I NEED TO KNOW SO I CAN EMOTIONALLY PREPARE MYSELF!"
"We're not divorcing, we've just been taking time away from the public eye to spend together. Alone."
"Oh."
Vox is simultaneously rooting for your marriage while also plotting the end of it, yes it's confusing, yes it makes his head hurt
No, he won't stop
I couldn't get these ideas out of my head, I'll go back and fix mistakes later. Maybe add more, if you guys want to add more leave a comment and I'll add it with credit!!

Jewelry that they'd gift you 95's ver.
Warnings: Mentions of body piercings, Slightly Suggestive (?) || 95s || 96s || 97s || Maknae Line ||
SCOUPS ⟡ Okay, my first thought is super boring...it's either a necklace or bracelet with a little cherry charm! ⟡ Still extremely cute though~ ⟡ This is deffo the gift he'd get you a couple months into the relationship, something expensive that you can brag about to your friend (trust he wants you to show it off) ⟡ Later down the road though (once he knows this is serious) he would gift you a promise ring ⟡ On the inner band he'd engrave your initials or small symbols you correlate with each other ⟡ And he'd get a matching one! ⟡ The outside would be pretty plain though - for privacy reasons (Lore drop: I got piercings so lemme indulge in my lil fantasy real quick hehehe)
⟡ HE'D GET YOU A BELLY RING WITH EITHER A CHERRY OR HEART ON IT!!! HERE YE HERE YE! ⟡ I just know this man drools at the thought of a belly piercing on his partner and them wearing something that represents him?!?!?! Bricked up.
YOU CAN'T TELL ME I'M WRONG! CAN YOU SEE THE VISION?
JEONGHAN ⟡ This man likes understated pieces on himself ⟡ So he LOVES understated pieces on you, especially "couple" related items! ⟡ If you like to go all out and are flashy with your personal jewelry he doesn't mind but he likes the idea of all the relationship stuff being just for you and him ⟡HE KNOWS he's got you wrapped around his finger (bc it's Jeonghan obvi) so he doesn't need to show off with anything fancy ⟡ His opinion is, "Well who are they coming home to? That's right, me." ⟡ He'd get you a simple bracelet or necklace, something that would go with every outfit ⟡ Obsessed with the idea that he would get you an anklet though!! ⟡ It's not visible every day but he knows it's there...whew~ (Lemme indulge in this crazy fantasy too) ⟡ Permanent jewelry. ⟡ Once he knows you're the one, he would gift you some permanent jewelry. ⟡ It's essentially a simple chain, usually a bracelet or anklet, that is welded on and can't be taken off without tools ⟡ Hehehe he's so crazy for this one ⟡ Lowkey I think he would like this idea more than wedding rings for y'all
(I go feral for the idea of lowkey possessive Jeonghannie)
JOSHUA ⟡ We all know it's true...bracelets. ⟡ Adores seeing you in anything he buys really ⟡ But bracelets take this man out! ⟡ Especially if they're ones he designed or made ⟡ Like the ones he showed off on live forever ago ⟡ Totally the type of guy to get you a Pandora bracelet and get you new charms for birthdays or special occasions ⟡ Overall I think customizable things that can grow with your relationship are very much Josh's vibe ⟡ Because what's more sentimental than something that you create together? ⟡ Plus. no one but you guys has to know the meaning and that's a point of pride for him ⟡ Seeing you explain what they mean or even seeing you refuse to explain what they mean, just knowing that whatever he buys you is going to remind you of him makes his entire heart melt into a puddle ⟡ I have a heavy fantasy about this man touring and picking up a charm every place he goes and gifting you a bracelet (or two) of all of them once he gets back or for your anniversary! ⟡ Certified sweetheart, certified sentimental man (when it comes to you)
(Quick someone write a fic about him making a bracelet for his S/O!)
A/N: Teehee, just some headcanons to fill the space between things atm (I am very obsessed with all of these tho...like an unhealthy amount of imagining going on here) Hope y'all like it though! And have a great week lovelies! Please Reblog and Comment if you enjoyed ! (They act as power-ups for me)
Taglist (OPEN): @bemybabiibish @bath1lda

being married to colin bridgerton would include
• colin bridgerton is 100% husband material. he's the kinda man you want to marry and settle down with— nerdy, tells dad jokes, and is obsessed with you.
• before meeting you, colin was a bit skeptical about marriage. he had seen both the joys and challenges it brought to his siblings and was unsure if he was ready for such a commitment.
• but from the moment he met you, there was an undeniable spark. whether it was through a chance encounter at a social event or a mutual acquaintance, you both felt an immediate connection that neither of you could ignore.
• early interactions were filled with playful banter and witty exchanges. colin’s charm and sense of humor drew you in, and he found your quick wit and intelligence equally captivating.
• the idea of lifelong commitment intimidated him. he worried about making the wrong choice or not being able to live up to his partner’s expectations.
• the moment he realises his feelings, he will aggressively (in a good way) defend you and hype you up. he is literally your best friend.
• immediately after the wedding, colin whisks you away for a romantic honeymoon across europe. he brings you to all of his favorite spots he has visited.
• he absolutely adores the fact that he would be able to call you his wife and would do so whenever possible— even if everyone in the room already knew both of you.
• colin is a hopeless romantic. random, yet thoughtful, gifts are placed around your house, especially when colin had a particularly busy day that kept him away from you.
• not all of these gifts were dresses or jewelry, but instead, they usually consisted of flowers colin had picked that reminded him of you, that new book you wanted to read, or short love letters that are addressed to you.
• once, colin had even persuaded benedict to create a sketch of you (which you adored).
• DANCING IN THE KITCHEN TOGETHER>>>
• you both have a shared journal where you document your travels with notes, sketches, and pressed flowers.
• he often surprises you with breakfast in bed, featuring dishes he’s learned from different countries.
• evenings at home are never dull, filled with colin’s amusing anecdotes and stories from his travels.
• he NEVER forgets an anniversary or special occasion.
• colin loves to work on little projects around the house. together, you both spend weekends renovating and redecorating your home, creating a cozy and welcoming space filled with personal touches.
• he has a knack for finding secret, secluded spots wherever you go. whether it's a hidden garden in the city or a private beach, you both have special places you can escape to for a bit of privacy.
• late-night conversations in bed are a staple in your relationship. colin loves to share his dreams and listen to yours.
• you both enjoy solving puzzles and playing games together. whether it’s a challenging jigsaw puzzle or a friendly chess match, these activities bring out your playful sides and provide endless entertainment.
• despite living in the same house, he leaves you sweet notes and letters in unexpected places. finding a loving message tucked into a book or left on your pillow always makes you feel cherished and adored.
• he has a habit of bringing back small keepsakes from his travels. these mementos decorate your home, each one holding a special memory and story from your adventures together.
• you both love books and have a growing home library. he often surprises you with new additions, and you spend hours browsing, reading, and discussing your favorite stories.
• above all, colin desired a genuine connection. he wasn’t interested in a marriage of convenience or social standing; he wanted a partner who truly understood and loved him.
• he finally found that partner in you. <33

I’ve been waiting for this moment….
Human au where it’s Caine and Pomni’s anniversary, but somehow, someway, they can’t give each other the gifts they want, so they trade their most important item so that they could buy a gift for their spouse…..(basically gift of the magi if you know what that is)
A/N: I am familiar! It's a classic romantic dilemma!
GIFT OF THE MAGPIE
A HUMAN SHOWTIME ONESHOT
WARNING: none
~~~
Pomni double checked her calendar. Her and Caine's wedding anniversary was tomorrow. She needed to get him a gift! But what? It wasn't a landmark anniversary, so it didn't have to be something super fancy. Neither one of them were really materialistic. She stood thinking as Caine entered the room.
He kissed Pomni on the cheek. "I gotta run. Love you!" On his way out the door, a light chime came from his pocket. At first he checked his phone, but then remembered he had something in his other pocket. He took out a beautifully engraved, gold pocket watch and reset it. "Oops, forgot I had it wound."
A light bulb went off in Pomni's head. She knew exactly what to get him. She went down to the jewelry store and browsed their chains. "Do you have anything for pocket watches?"
The jeweler arches a brow. "Pocket watches? Bit old fashioned, but yes, I believe we have a few related accessories. Let me check." A few minutes later, he brought out a few different chains. Some made of gold, some made of platinum, all very shiny.
"I'll take that one." Pomni picked out a simple solid gold chain. It would go well to match the antiquated watch Caine had bequeathed from his grandfather.
~
Caine had time for a quick stop before going to work. A local antique shop that always had interesting bits and baubles from time gone past. Pomni wasn't much of a jewellery wearer but there was one thing in particular that she treasured. A simple silver necklace with a magpie charm. She loved magpies.
In his search to find other magpie related gifting ideas, he found out that the necklace Pomni owned was part of a set. A very old and rare charm jewelry collection that included a bracelet and a set of matching earrings.
The antique shop was kind enough to reach out and do some networking for him to help find a missing piece. All they could get was the bracelet. It was in astonishingly good condition for it's age. It looked brand new.
~
Pomni went to pay for the chain, but her card was declined. She nervously tried a different card. Declined. She knew funds had been tight this year, but she didn't realize she was already out or overdrawn. She put away her useless cards and apologized.
Before she walked out, the jeweler mentioned that they accept trades. She felt the magpie charm around her neck. She couldn't possibly... Then she thought of the look on Caine's face when he would receive such a well meaning gift. His watch was everything to him.
She took off her necklace and gave it to the jeweler.
~
Caine gawked at the cost of the antique bracelet. It was FAR more expensive than he had anticipated. He knew he didn't have the money. He tried to haggle the price, but the shopkeeper wouldn't budge. The bracelet has been difficult to find and purchase legitimately. The price was the price.
Caine only had one item in his possession that could possibly counteract the cost of the bracelet. He took out his grandfather's pocketwatch and set it on the counter. How often had he really used it? Pomni receiving the gift of a lifetime was more valuable to him.
It still hurt when the antique shopkeeper accepted the watch.
~
The next day, Caine and Pomni took their morning slowly, cuddling in bed long after dawn. Only to be interrupted by Bubble getting the morning zoomies and trampling them both. After that wake up call and coffee, it was time to present their gifts.
Caine gave his first. "You're going to love this. You know your magpie necklace..?"
Pomni felt her bare neck. "Uh...yeah?"
"Well, I found another piece of the set."
Pomni gasped. "You...you what?" She opened her box to see the pristine antique bracelet with magpie charms. She teared up. "Oh my god...Caine. This is amazing, but... I don't have the necklace anymore."
"Wait, what?"
"I traded it for your gift. It was expensive and my cards were declined and-"
"Hey, hey, it's okay." He pulled her into a hug. "You can still wear the bracelet."
"But it's just one piece again. Square one. That's not fair to you."
"That's fine. It doesn't undermine the gift. The magpies just migrated." Caine joked.
Pomni huffed, wiping a tear. "They did. Thank you. Here. This is what I got you."
Caine opened his box and his heart sank. "A pocket watch chain...thank you, Pomni. It really needed one. There is just one problem. I don't have the watch anymore."
"WHAT!?" Her shout startled Bubble.
"I traded it for the bracelet. Turns out those old magpies cost quite the penny. It was all I had to get it for you."
"That was your-!"
"I know." Caine said softly. "I didn't really use it that much anyway. It needed a good home with someone willing to take care of it." He put the bracelet on her and held her hands. "I would give up my last dime, the very shirt on my back, for you. The most valuable thing in my life, is you."
Pomni threw herself and Caine and kissed him hard on the lips. "I love you."
Caine smiled and kissed her again lightly. "I love you too."
"....we're getting that watch back." She said determinedly.

Favourite Things
Upon becoming engaged to the King, Gwen's life changed overnight.
That was unsurprising, for she knew that would always happen. She would not longer merely be Gwen, the lady's maid and consort to the King, but Guinevere, soon to be Queen Consort of Camelot.
"Oh, Arthur you did not need to." Gwen gasped when he placed a gold necklace around her neck.
It was beautifully made, gold shaped into delicate flowers, joined together like the daisy chains she would make as a child. However the tiny pearls at the center of each flower were far different from her girlhood daisy chains.
"Of course I did not need to." Arthur said, his hands resting on her shoulders, "I wanted to. My future wife, you deserve beautiful things. And I shall be most devastated if you do not accept the token of my affection."
Gwen smiled at him, "Well, we cannot have the King of Camelot upset, can we?"
It takes her a while to get used to him wishing to spoil her. Gwen was a woman who had been self-sufficient and so used to giving and taking care of others.
Every once in a while, Arthur would surprise her with jewelry - bracelets, necklaces and earrings. Jeweled hairpins and cuffs for her curls and braids. She would protest every time, but Arthur did not take no for an answer. He wanted to shower his wife, his Queen with presents. And it was never just jewelry but sometimes floral displays (set up with Merlin's help of course) and animals for Gwen adored dogs.
Her favourite piece was the ring he had crafted for her for their first wedding anniversary. A silver band with a vine of flowers engraved on the outside and on the inside words.
Gwen nearly wept when she read the words.
You are my heart.
She leapt at her husband, wrapping her arms around his neck in a tearful embrace, kissing all over his face.
"Do you like it?" Arthur asked, amused and Gwen nodded, her eyes glistening with happy tears.
"I suppose I finally have a gift for you." Gwen told him.
"Guinevere, your gift to me is breathing and being by my side." Arthur told her, kissing her hand, "No, no. You do not need to get me anything."
She bit her lip, "Well, I cannot exactly return this gift. Especially since it is, well, half yours and half mine."
He stared at her, confused as to what she meant. But when she brought his left hand to her stomach and he grinned.
"Oh, that is worth so much more than the jewels I could bestow upon you."
Somewhere down the line..
Elinor was fascinated with every piece of jewelry her mother owned. She was content to sit at her dressing table and look at the shiny selection. She knows because her papa was King, they had lost of gold and silver and shiny things. Alys and Llacheu sometimes wore shiny thing too.
"Elinor?" Gwen called softly to her daughter, knowing where she would be. She smiled seeing her at the dressing table, playing in her jewelry box.
"Mama, what about this one?" She held up a silver bracelet and Gwen smiled, sitting down and lifting the three year old into her lap.
"That one your father gave to me when you were a baby." Gwen explained, "Because he was so excited to meet you."
"Is it mine?"
Gwen chuckled, kissing her cheek, "When you are bigger, yes my love."
"Guinevere?" Arthur called out, as he entered their chambers "Is Elinor here?
"Papa!" She climbed down from her mother's lap to run to her father who smiled at her.
Arthur pretended to strain as he lifted her, "Oh, you are getting too big, my love! I may not be able to give you hugs and kisses."
"No!" Elinor protested, clinging to her father's neck, "I will never be too old for hugs and kisses." She kissed him on the cheek and rested her head on his shoulder to prove her point and Arthur chuckled, cradling her in his arms.
"Good, I like the idea of you being this small forever and ever!" Arthur agreed as Gwen shook her head fondly.
"Papa, can I wear Mama's jewelry?"
"That is up to Mama." Arthur said, "She is in charge, remember?" He pretended to whisper.
Elinor nodded, and looked at her mother, "But your birthday is coming up and I do not know what to do with jewelry I have for you." Arthur said, feigning sadness as Gwen tried not to laugh.
He was utterly adored by his youngest and vice versa. So when she started showing an interest in her sister and her mother's jewelry, he had a small necklace much like the first one he had given to Guinevere made for their youngest who wanted to be just like her mama.
Elinor grinned happily and Arthur bent down so she could give Gwen a kiss and then he did. Gwen smiled at her husband who winked at her before taking Elinor to the nursery for her nap.
Looking at her messy jewelry box, Gwen was now far more comfortable with the large collection she had been given over the years. Another symbol of her and her husband's love for each other.
