"So you have some then." He chuckled as he folded the clothes and passed to him. "Wolf fun? I try to at least once a week."

Xanthus rolled his eyes. "I think you would know what it is when you see it." He told him. "How often do you run?"

Awaited Painting

“Stop laughing, love,” Xanthus chuckles, standing behind a canvas, glutching the canvas with his left hand, and holding a pencil in his right.

“I’m trying!” you say posing on the stool while trying to hold back a laugh.

“I’ve just got to get the sketch love, then you’ll be free to do whatever you please,” he says as his muse poses in front of him.

The soothing sound of the pencil dragging along the canvas, the soft wind rustling against the leaves, and Xanthus humming, all created such a calming atmosphere where you could relax and pose however desired.

Time flies by, and soon enough, Xanthus peeks his head smiling cheerfully at you.

“I won’t let you see the sketch. It looks awful,” he says with a chuckle. “But trust the process, the painting will turn out splendidly,” he reassures.

“Oh that I have no doubt,” you say, getting up and straighting your gown. “When do you think you’ll be done with the portrait?” “A year, a few months, who knows? But I’ll inform you once I’ve completed it, or close to completing it,” he says.

“It’s completed,” his voice drowned by the millions of others as they all stare in awe at the portrait of his deceased beloved.

Never has he thought, the only way of getting in touch with you, or ever seeing you again. Is through a wide hallway where you hang, as elegant as ever. Though this time, your feet won’t be dangling helplessly from the ceiling.

A bunch of doodles of Hera’s youth bc I really enjoy the variant where Hera wasn’t eaten by Kronos and was raised by Oceanus and Tethys. It just has so much potential y’know?

Unexpected Warmness

Synopsis: Xanthus always swore he never wanted to indulge himself in warm feelings such as love, until the incubus manages to charm the vampire.

By Oda

The iron smell of cages rattle in Dontis’s head, he’s been here for a while, sighing against the dark wall, wondering if he’ll ever manage to find a way out. Which it always does, but the situation seems bleak. He looks around to the windows shining a shred of light into the cells.

But, suddenly, the cells start shuddering and shuffling, the other mythics locked up look around in confusion. Small sighs and gasps can be heard around the rows of cages, echoing through the halls.

Dontis runs up to the cell bars, the ginormous double doors open, light, cool air flows through, and from afar, he could see a thin but built blond man with blood on his face, Ruby eyes that could catch the hearts of anyone, a cold but expression full of Justice. Dontis holds his breath. He could smell the seducing bloodlust from a mile away.

That’s when he met his first unexpected bond, Xanthus Claiborne.

After Xanthus freed everyone, he finally got to Dontis, unlocking the cell doors, Dontis stared at his face and his slight smile. He’s felt love many times, and appreciation, but towards a vampire? It couldn’t be put into words. He said while running out,

“Hey, thanks for freeing me, vampire!”

Xanthus yells back, turning around to face him,

“Don’t thank me! run over here! You’ll be safe!”

“You’ll be safe” what an odd thing to hear from a vampire with such bloodlust.

After they all got to a place where no one could see them, everyone ran in their different directions after Xanthus made sure they were indebted to him, only dontis stayed.

Xanthus said, looking straight at him. “Why are you still here? You can leave, you know.”

Dontis perked up, “I am aware, I just.. wanted to get to know you better, you did save my life. You seem very interesting to me, Xanthus, I want to see what’s ahead.”

He said as he smiled softly, green eyes looking loving and kind.

Xanthus' face softened, and raised his eyebrows. He smiled back.

“How curious, then, I guess I’ll entertain you. What was your name again?”

Even though the vampire knew his name due to him looking at all the records before feeling them, he wanted to see what Dontis would say.

Dontis paused for a second, and he said,

“I am Dontis, but I’ll guess that you already knew that, Claiborne.”

Xanthus swore that this guy couldn’t be an incubus. Catching his gasp with his pride, he chuckled and nodded.

After a couple days or so, they meet up at the bayside, the ocean waves pounding against the wood of the walkway they stood upon. It was barely sunrise, but it was safer than being there midday with everyone around. They’ve been talking here and there, ever since dontis got released, he’s been growing more fascinating to Xanthus,

Sometimes the vampire's thoughts would be filled with him, and he hated it. Not wanting to get charmed.

“Why are we here, Dontis?” He asked, in a cold tone, while looking at the sea.

“I don’t know, really, don’t you just want to admire the bayside sometimes?”

Xanthus chuckled, he never thought about seeing nature with someone else. Especially an incubus, or someone he thinks about often, or someone he thinks is interesting, has a cute face, his scent drives him crazy at any time of day… you get the point.

Dontis cut through his thoughts with his smooth voice while half laughing, “What? Nature is nice when you're with someone else.”

“I’ve never felt so safe with another mythic in a long time.” Xanthus suddenly said, and his eyes widened, realizing what he just said.

Dontis' lips parted, looking like he wanted to say something. Xanthus looked gorgeous, his hair slightly floating in the wind, a smile on his face, the jewelry on him, his wide eyes that made his soul warm.

“You know, honestly me too.”

A few silent moments went by, of them walking along, seeing the ocean waves wash against the wooden bridge. The cool air made their hair slightly flow in the other direction, everyone was gone, it was just them.

An incubus and a vampire, wait, no, two people just reconnecting trying to figure out if their love is real.

Every single night, The taller man thought of that day, when he met Xanthus, it was unique, different. Xanthus felt a warm, electric feeling with a tinge of safety, he hasn’t felt that in a long time. Both of them haven’t.

The two mythics needed someone to feel safe with, to laugh with, and to relate with, without being used or threatened.

Dontis, always used for his kindness and comfort.

Xanthus, always threatened for an “uncontrollable” bloodlust his kind had.

Both of them understood.

They had both walked to the Ferris wheel, near the ocean, basking in each other’s presence.

“It seems we’ve made it.” Dontis chuckled

Xanthus looked over, “Made it to what?”

Dontis looked over with loving eyes, “To a new beginning.”

Xanthus sighed. “I’m assuming that you're using one of your charms on me.”

Dontis laughed, “You know I don't do that to you, Xanny.”

Xanny? The name was silly, but it made the vampire's heart fill with an embarrassingly electric feeling.

“Don’t call me that.” Xanthus turned away.

The taller man reached out to hold the blond haired man's hand. Xanthus looked at his hand for a second. Sighed, and took his hand, laying his head on Dontis’s shoulder.

They could both hear each other's heartbeats. They were slow, but it seemed like they felt safe for the first time being a mythic.

The vampire and the incubus spent years together, kissing each other, holding each other, both attending to their normal lives, but every few moments. They both thought of each other.

Numerous memories were made,

“for however long forever lasts for them.”

A/N: god I fucking love donthus they need to kiss

XANTHUS YOU CHEATER

[literary-motif]

The Past Is Close Behind

I have never searched for happiness. Who wants happiness? I have searched for pleasure. 

— Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Chapter XVII

After becoming a successful painter, you return to the London of Queen Victoria at your brother’s calling. Having heard of your renowned talents, Lord Claiborne invites you to paint his portrait on his country estate. You jump at the chance to escape the city you despise so much. Not soon after your arrival, you realize that the mansion is not as idyllic as the nature around it might suggest. Darkness clings to it, and you discover you are not the only one haunted by your past. Lord Claiborne has secrets of his own, which you slowly begin to unearth. ~42,800 words

[zsakuva]

-how would andrew and xanthus feel about their listeners writing songs or poems about them in secret?

-which sakuverse character do you think would get along the most with your cat?

I think they'd both find it sweet and endearing.

None of them.
