#yuno x leopold

[whispersbelongingbird]

Yuno: So you like cats?

Leopold: Yeah?

Yuno intensely staring into Leopold’s eyes while slowly pushing a glass off the table:

Leopold: Yuno is playing hard to get. Leopold: Little do they know, I'm a master at playing hard to get rid of.

[princeleopoldvermillion]

Hello! I am looking for an 18+ roleplay partner to do MXM roleplays (looking for long and short term rps) with me! I am interested in mainly Yuno x Leopold, or Leopold X Asta! From the anime series Black Clover. I would also accept Asta X Yuno, or Leopold x Luck.

As for the roleplaying portion, I would prefer if we built up before getting to the smut. I usually write semi literate to literate (from a few lines to a few paragraphs or more). And want a partner who can try and mirror my roleplay length.

In dms, we can figure out the more smut details. I am willing to do BCRP or AURP plots! Ranging from the Black Clover, to altered versions of the Black Clover plot, to modern AU, or other plots!

Do not stress about replies! I typically reply quickly, but sometimes, it may take a few days. If it will be longer than a week, I will let you know!

I prefer to roleplay on Discord or Twitter! Let me know if you are interested and I will DM you! ^^

Pretty late to this but the event seemed too cool to miss out on! Could I request a Vanilla cake and a cinnamon roll with some whipped cream along with a pumpkin bread for Yunoleo?

Of course, I’m so glad that you’re participating. I put a lot of work into making the event. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one.

“Are you sure that you’ll be alright? That must’ve been freezing…” Yuno asked his boyfriend with worry.

Leopold shakily nodded, teeth chattering, “Yeah, but I was only underwater for a few seconds before you pulled me out, guess I can be clumsy sometimes…” Leopold chuckled. Yuno had used his wind magic to the best of his abilities to dry Leo, but he could only do so much with the worry of making Leo even worse. If Leo was being honest, his legs felt completely numb which was most likely why he fell over in the first place.

“Man this sucks…” He mumbled. “What’s with this blizzard? I know the weather’s usually pretty cold, but I didn’t think a blizzard would happen!” Leopold complained, if he had known about the blizzard beforehand, he definitely would have put on another layer or two… or three, being a fire mage he assumed he didn’t need to go as extra as other people when it came to cold weather wear, clearly that’s as a mistake in his part.

“You should’ve brought more like I suggested.” Yuno scoffed and rolled his eyes, keep in mind he’s still worried about Leo at the moment.

“C’mon! You can’t tell me you were expecting this!” Leopold pouted, he hugged himself for more warmth.

“Hey look, a house.” Yuno pointed in the direction of a building that was slowly coming into view.

“Hey! You can’t just change the subject like- What?” Leopold held that thought and looked in the direction Yuno was pointing in, he was right. There was indeed a house there. They looked at each other and back to the house, they continued towards it. They approached the door, Leo knocked, fingers quivering.

“Hello? Anybody home?” No reply… Yuno eventually just opened the door himself, it seemed like nobody was living there… the kitchen was a bit dusty and the living room’s floor had lots of blankets scattered around that seemed to have not been used in a while. Luckily the house seemed to be in good shape, so they walked in and locked the door behind them. Leopold let out a long sigh of relief.

There was a piece of paper on the floor, Yuno picked it up. When Leo noticed, he tilted his head. “What does it say?”

“Nothing too important. Basically the people who previously lived here had lots of travelers stop here because of the weather, so they left and it says the house is welcome to anyone.” Yuno explained to Leo, Leo nodded. Well aren’t they lucky? “Also there’s working hot water.”

“What, seriously?” Leopold questioned him.

“Yeah, the date signed on here is from a month or two ago. I’m not interested in taking one myself right now, but you probably should after falling in that water… You could get sick.” Yuno suggested to him. Leopold nodded with a warm smile. He walked into the small hallway and found it pretty quickly. 

Yuno looked down at the blankets and such and decided he should probably tidy it up incase they have to stay the knight. There was a fireplace there too, Yuno eventually made a fire. He didn’t want Leo to use more mana and drain more of his energy. Yuno already felt guilty enough by letting him fall into the water. He sighed, he really hoped Leo didn’t get sick from this…

“Woah, Yuno! The water is actually hot!” Yuno heard from the bathroom. He chuckled and then went to work.

After a few minutes, Yuno finished. He made his way to the bathroom and cracked the door open just enough to grab Leo’s clothes. He was humming a silly little tune. After a few seconds of using his magic to dry them, he folded them and put them back inside. He went back to the living room. He had the blankets set up on the floor next to the fireplace, not the most comfortable place… but the bedroom was freezing and Yuno didn’t wanna risk spiders being in the couch. Yuno looked outside, the weather didn’t seem to be changing soon…

Leopold eventually walked out, his hair still a bit wet. “Wow, you already straightened that out? Guess the blizzard’s sticking around for a while, huh?” Yuno nodded as a response. “By the way, did you dry my clothes? Because I swear-“

“Yes, I didn’t want you to put wet clothes back on, that would’ve been uncomfortable.” Yuno replied. Leopold blushed, even the little things Yuno did like that made his heart pound. 

‘It’s like falling for him all over again.’ Leo though.

“Really? You catch feelings for the simplest things I swear.” Yuno chuckled, Leo flushed.

“Did I say that out loud!?” He covered his mouth and avoided eye contact. Yuno walked over and put his arm around Leo. Leopold look up at him with confusion.

“You should probably warm up by the fire or you’ll get sick.” Yuno explained, Leo nodded and Yuno walked him over. They sat down and wrapped the blanket around each other. They were lucky the blanket was big enough for them both.

It still wasn’t good enough though. Even after that shower, being next to the fire, under a blanket, and being close to Yuno, Leo still couldn’t help but feel cold. It was strange, he’s supposed to be naturally resistant to this! Yuno felt Leo shaking, he felt Leo trying to get closer to him. “You’re shivering, do you want my jacket?” Yuno asked him, Leo jerked his head up.

“What? No! I couldn’t possibly, I mean- You-“ Yuno cut him off, already removing his jacket.

“Take it, I insist.” He said before helping Leopold putting the jacket on. He put his hand against Leo’s forehead… It seemed he had a little fever threatening to make Leo sick. He pulled Leo close. “You should try to get some rest, we’ll leave in the morning.” Yuno informed him.

“Huh…? But it’s still a little light outside…?” Leopold said in a tired tone. With Leo in his arms, Yuno laid down with Leo.

“Just go to sleep… I’ll be here with you when you wake up.” Yuno ran his fingers through Leo’s hair. Soon enough, Leo fell asleep, he went into a pretty heavy sleep. Yuno didn’t see the point in staying up himself so he went to sleep as well.

When Yuno woke up, it was early morning, the sun was still rising. He looked down at Leo and checked his temperature again. ‘Good. It looks like the fever went away.’ He thought

Leo woke up much later, when the sun had risen, still early though. He looked up to Yuno. He yawned, “G’mornin’” He spoke with a quiet voice.

“Morning. The blizzard finally went away, so we should get going soon. I already put all our stuff away, so I’m ready to leave whenever you are.” Yuno explained to Leo. Leopold nodded and smiled at Yuno.

After an hour had passed, Leo was finally ready to leave. Yuno opened the door, and a light wind entered immediately. No blizzard, still cold though. “Yuno.” Leopold said. Yuno looked down and Leopold brought him into a kiss. Yuno put his hand on Leo’s neck and pulled him closer. Then, they pulled apart and Leo laughed.

“What was that for?” Yuno questioned with a slight blush on his face.

“I don’t know, just felt like it? Anyway, thank you for taking care of me last night. I felt pretty tired, so I’m glad you were here with me.” Leo thanked Yuno, Yuno nodded with a slight smile.

“There’s no need to thank me, it’s… what boyfriends do after all.” Yuno shyly (although he wouldn’t admit it) replied. 

“Let’s go!” Leopold shouted before confidently exiting the house, Yuno followed him from behind. Leopold looked back at him with a loving and trusting expression.

Yuno was glad he was lucky enough to have Leo chosen him, I mean of course he already knew he was amazing, but Leo was just something else.

He’ll always do whatever he can for the ones he loves, especially Leo and that adorable smile of his!

This isn't a request for a tickle fic so I hope you are okay with writing it! I just wanted to request a fic were Leo and Yuno had revealed the fact that they are in a relationship so Yuno takes Leo to hage so he can meet everyone!

Ahh, my weakness! *vibrates at an inhuman speed* I'm so normal about them I swear! aerajrjheakjreaj No but really- this is a delight of a prompt and I'm beyond happy to make it for you, anon! I hope you like it!

CW: Mild angst, mentions of homophobia VERY LIGHT SPOILER WARNING: Black Clover Eps. 71-72 (It's incredibly vague- there's no real details but I'm gonna put it out there just in case)

Cloud 9 (Taglist peeps):

@duckymcdoorknob

“Come to Hage with me!”

When Yuno first offered the suggestion to Leopold, he was excited. It’d been some time since he’d seen his family, and the idea of sharing a part of himself with Leopold felt right.

Then excitement turned to unyielding anxiety in a matter of hours as he realized he had no idea HOW he was going to do that.

The planning wasn’t the difficult part- both Captains Fuegoleon and William were fine with it, and they even managed to rope Captain Yami into letting Asta and Noelle tag along. Letters were sent, and the responses have been nothing but positive from Sister Lily and Father Orsi . The actual trip was set.

It was the whole- you know- coming out thing. All this time later, and he still hadn’t told them. Yuno felt his stomach twist into a thousand knots as he watched Hage’s green hills get closer in the distance, willing himself not to shake.

“You’re gonna love it there! Our siblings are a riot, but they’ll get used to you pretty fast.” Asta was filling the mildly tense air with chatter, giving Leopold and Noelle the details about their family. A few times the redhead would look his way, smiling brightly at him. That helped- somewhat.

“You okay?” Leopold floated over on his broom, voice pitched low so the others wouldn’t hear him. “You look like you’re gonna puke.”

“Motion sickness?” Yuno offered, wincing when his voice shook..

“You’re nervous huh?” He smiled, bumping him gently. “I’m a bit too. Do you…do you think they’ll like me?”

“You’re like a second Asta. They’ll adore you.” Yuno grinned, earning a laugh and a light shove from Leopold. “Really- I do think they’ll like you. Both of you.” He nodded back to where Asta and Noelle were, their voices acting as background noise.

“Thanks.” Leopold leaned over, giving him a quick peck before returning to the original pair, Asta’s “WHERE HERE!” snapping him back to reality.

It’ll be fine. Yuno took a breath, forcing a smile. Everything is going to be fine.

He hoped.

~~~

“YUNO! ASTA!” Recca all but squealed upon seeing the three brooms above. “Everyone- Asta and Yuno are back!”

Within seconds of touching the ground, they were swarmed. Squeals of glee rang out from Arlu and Holo as they bull-tackled Asta, clinging to his legs and jumping up with grabby hands. Recca practically squeezed the life out of Yuno, her frizzy red hair almost to his chin- when did she get so tall? Sister Lily came out soon after, tears in her eyes as she hugged both of them just as tight. By the door, Father Orsi laughed, patting Nash on the head as they waited their turn to get their hugs.

It was a mess of limbs and hugs and kisses and ear shattering screams of glee from the youngest kids.. Yuno took it all in, nostalgia and warmth mixing in his chest as he reunited with his family. God, he missed them all so much.

“Welcome home, boys.” Orsi smiled when he managed to get in, hugging them both before patting their heads. “Though I should call you two men- after everything you’ve been through. Still; no matter how old you two get, you’ll always be the squishy cheeked babies I remember when you first arrived.”

“Father Orsi, come on! I’m so much bigger now since being a baby!” Asta huffed, unable to stay annoyed. Yuno laughed softly, willing his ears to stop burning. It didn’t help that Leopold was snickering in the background, clearly pleased.

“I suppose so- now, who are these fine people you two brought?” He asked, looking out towards Noelle and Leopold. Yuno’s stomach twisted once more, the anxiety he was just beginning to forget about piercing him like an arrow. Right- introductions. It was time.

“This is Noelle! Fellow Black Bull and royalty!” Asta cheerfully introduced Noelle, pulling her closer to the group. “She’s a really cool water mage! If you’re lucky- she might show you some tricks!”

“Dorksta- don’t go promoting me like I’m some sort of circus act!” Noelle fussed, cheeks red and mildly annoyed. From the group, some of the kids giggled. “Erm, it’s nice to meet you all.”

“Your girlfriend’s pretty, Dorksta!” Holo declared, making Noelle flush crimson with a squeak. Sister lily scowled him gently but Asta took it in stride, laughing with the rest of his siblings at the nickname. When the chatter died down, all eyes turned to Yuno and Leopold.

It’ll be fine.

“Leopold Vermillion! Nice to meet you all!” Leopold declared proudly, all smiles. The children were hooked almost immediately, eyes shining. “I’m Yuno’s-” He paused then, turning to the other. There was a question in his eyes. Is this okay?

Yuno felt his heart squeeze so hard it hurt. Leopold was giving him the chance to lie- to just say he was Yuno’s good friend. To work up the courage later and tell them another time. He was grateful for the redhead at that moment.

“He’s my boyfriend.” Yuno finished. Alas- as grateful as he was; he had to do it. Leopold had already agreed to keep it a secret in the past- he wasn’t gonna put him through all that again . “We’ve been dating for a while now.”

Faces morphed into surprise- Father Orsi’s brows shot up and Sister Lily blinked. Recca and Nash’s mouths formed into “o” shapes, while Arlu and Holo were too busy hovering around Noelle to notice. Even Asta looked surprised- and he knew already. Yuno waited, pleading with whomever was listening for- what- the ground to swallow him up? For lighting to strike him down? For Captain William to call and suddenly announce a task only Yuno could fill and save him from this awkward situation?

“Well, this was unexpected.” Father Orsi was the first to speak, his shock fading into  warmth as he came over, shaking Leopold’s hand. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Leopold.”

“I recognize the name- are you related to Mimosa Vermillion?” Sister Lily recovered just as fast, smiling brightly. “She’s a darling, that one.”

“Oh yeah- she’s mine and Noelle’s cousin.” Leopold fell into easy chatter with them, bright as the sun as they asked about his team and family. Recca wiggled past the adults to Yuno’s side, her hand finding his as she leaned into his arm.

“Is he good to you?” She asked. Yuno took a shaky breath before nodding.

“He’s very good. The best man I’ve ever met.” Recca’s hand squeezed his in return, her face softening to a happy grin.

“Okay. Then I like him.” She decided. Yuno felt his throat tighten some as he leaned over, kissing her brow.

Asta and Noelle were soon dragged into the chatter. Before long, everyone was comfortable around everyone.

All but Nash, who hovered just outside the group with a pinched expression.

~~~

“It was so HOT! And dangerous too- there were so many cliffs and rocks, and the ground was carved with lava!” Asta stood before the group, retelling his adventures to his siblings- complete with standing tall and raising his arms high to emphasize his point. “There were so many instances where I was sure I wasn’t gonna make it! One wrong move, and your future Wizard King would have been as cooked as a Hage Potato!”

“I’m surprised you didn’t. I bet Yuno didn’t have any problems in that heat- not with his wind magic.” Recca grinned at her brother, earning a small smile in return. “I bet you were cool as the snow climbing that volcano!”

“Oh no, I just got lucky.” Yuno shrugged.

“Don’t be so humble- he was amazing!” Leopold grinned, joining Asta in retelling their adventures of Mereoleona’s training camp. “He was all- ZOOM! And we were all: ‘Whaaaat’ and he was all- “I’m so cool, look at me.’”

“Yeah yeah! Definitely!” Asta agreed, earning a round of laughter from the kids. “Noelle looked cool too!”

“What? Oh- don’t just say those things, Dorksta!” She huffed, cheeks pink but clearly pleased. Arlu and Holo were  fast asleep against her lap, likely dreaming of the small water dragons Noelle created for their entertainment . Despite her earlier complaints about being an attraction, it didn’t take long at all for her to give in and play with them. Yuno felt a new appreciation for the water mage. “I guess you were kinda cool too…”

“Oh goodness- I can’t imagine going through that myself!” Sister Lily laughed around her tea mug, fanning away the imaginary heat. “You two have been getting so strong since you went to the capital.”

“That’s our boys!” Orsi agreed, raising a cup of what Yuno suspected wasn’t water. He didn’t mind though- it was nice sitting with everyone again. Though, there was still something wrong.

Throughout the day, Nash had been fairly quiet, not talking much at all during dinner or the time before. He’d always been a calmer soul, but Yuno couldn’t help but suspect he was angry. There was this clear tension radiating off of him that prickled at Yuno’s skin all throughout the day- especially tense during dinner when they were all sitting together.

Yuno tried to brush it off as discomfort of new people, but sitting here now- Nash nowhere in sight, his thoughts got the better of him.

Did Nash…not accept him?

Slipping away from the group, he went to find him, scared of what he’d find but determined to get to the bottom of it.

~~~

“Nash?” Yuno called out, finding his brother sitting on the back steps of the church. “There you are.”

“Oh, hey Yuno.” The younger boy looked back at him, his face and voice calm as ever. In his hands he was playing with a tree branch, picking at the bark and pulling at the leaves. “Got overwhelmed in there?”

“A bit. I actually came to find you.” Yuno began to walk over but stopped, suddenly unsure of himself. What if he sat down beside him and Nash walked away? Maybe he should…

“Why are you hovering? It’s not like we’re strangers.” Nash nodded at the spot beside him. Yuno flushed as he sat down, shamed. Why was this suddenly so difficult?

Silence hung between them, charged with something Yuno couldn’t quite put his finger on that did nothing to ease his nerves. He went to find words, but his throat felt tight, locking away his vocal cords. He needed to say it. “Nash…are you mad?”

Nash didn’t reply, though the slow pace he was working at with his stick sped up, growing slightly more aggressive. Ah, so he was.

“Are you mad…at me?” Yuno asked, feeling his heart sink when the picking grew. “Did I do something wrong?”

The stick shook. Nash’s calm expression grew pinched. “You didn’t tell us.”

There it was. Yuno bowed his head. “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t- don’t apologize.” Nash tossed the stick aside, turning so he could face Yuno properly. “I don’t want an apology. I just want to know why. You know us- we’re your family! That’s never gonna change, so why…why didn’t you tell us sooner?” Nash huffed, shoulders drooping. “Did you not…trust us?”

“What- no, not at all!” Yuno winched, hating how sad his brother sounded. “It’s not that at all. I just…” He was about to ramble when he stopped, taking a breath. This was Nash- clever, understanding Nash. He might as well be honest. “I was scared.”

“Of us?” Nash blinked, tilting his head.

“Of how you’d all react.” Yuno nodded, turning to look at his knees. “Back at the capital, there are some incredible people there. But there’s also a lot of cruel ones too. Leopold- he came out before me, and I still think about some of the awful things said about him. Some were said about me too- both behind my back and to my face. I try not to care about them- they already have problems with me being a commoner, but…”

“You were scared we’d react the same way.” Nash spoke softly, voice barely over a whisper. Yuno winced, nodding.

“I know now it was irrational,, but at the time- when I first started figuring myself out and being with Leopold; I was just so…terrified. I couldn’t bring myself to say it in a letter- I needed to know in person how you’d all react. I didn’t want to come home and be treated like a stranger. That…that would hurt.” Yuno felt his eyes sting, his throat closing with unshed tears. “I’m sorry. I wish I had the courage to say it sooner, but…I didn’t. I’m sorry I made you think you couldn’t be trusted, and I’m sorry-”

“Stop.” Nash scooted over, resting his head against Yuno’s shoulder. “You’re shaking.” He took his hand in his own, two small warm ones holding Yuno’s icy limb. “Just breathe, Yuno.”

Yuno willed himself to do so, taking slow deep breaths one after another as he forced himself to calm down. He hadn’t realized just how close to a panic attack he was getting. Nash’s voice guided him back to reality, his hands still squeezing Yuno’s as the older boy collected himself. “Sorry…”

“Didn’t I just say to stop that?” Nash gave him a look, eyes softening after a moment. Silence passed before he spoke again. “You don’t have to apologize- it doesn’t seem like an easy thing to talk about. If anything- I’m sorry for getting so mad about it. Even if it took awhile, I’m glad you were able to tell us now.”

Yuno didn’t trust his voice, opting to squeeze Nash’s shoulder. Nash took this as a sign to continue.

“You know- I don’t even think that part is what made me upset. I’m really happy you found that Leopold guy, and I’m happy you and Asta are living your lives. I guess it’s just…everytime you and Asta come home, so much has happened. One minute you’re heading out to the capital, the next, you’re these powerful Magic Knights with cool abilities and war stories. I feel like there’s just so much..missing between. Like those old books someone donated that had chapters missing.” Nash dropped some, shaking his head. “That was probably stupid to listen to, huh?”

“Not at all. I think I get it.” Yuno nodded, finding his voice as he turned towards the skyline. “I’m sorry about that. Things happen so fast there, and when I go to write, I never know what to say. That and I’d hate to give Sister Lily a heart attack with the gorey details.” That earned a small smile from Nash. Yuno felt his chest loosen. “I’ll try to be better about keeping you guys updated. And I’ll try to visit more often.”

“Promise?” Nash peeked up at him. Yuno raised his pinky. Without hesitation, Nash curled his own around it.

“Promise.” Yuno gave it a little shake, the same way they did when Nash was real young. Just like that, the knots in his stomach vanished. He could breathe again.

“Thanks Yuno. Though, can I ask you something?” Nash leaned in conspiratory-like, brows furrowing. “What made you fall for him? Don’t get me wrong- he seems great, but he’s like a second Asta- just so…loud.”

Yuno snorted, hand slapping over his mouth as he shook with mirth. Nash grinned, giggling alongside his brother.

“I suppose that’s a good place to start.” Yuno got out once he recovered. The rest of the night he shared the tale with Nash, the tale of how he and Leopold came to be.

~~~

“There you are. We really do have a fondness for fields, don’t we?” Leopold laughed as he flopped down beside Yuno, the stars bright above and the air chilled. Yuno was lying on his back, hands tucked behind his head as he reflected on the day’s events. Overall- it all went well.

“That’s true. We’ll have to change it up soon. How about a beach day next time?” Yuno suggested, grinning when Leopold made a face.

“No way- I’m still finding sand in inconvenient places.” Shaking his head, he flopped backwards and into Yuno’s chest, snuggling close. “Thanks for inviting me out. Your family’s great!”

“Told you they’d love you.” Yuno hugged him close, skittering his nails against his back. “I’m glad you came. They’re gonna be talking about you and Noelle for months.”

“Hehe, better send some presents then. Gotta keep my “cool older brother” rep with the kiddos.” Leopold closed his eyes, melting against his boyfriend’s hand. “Hey…this is kinda dumb but..thanks for introducing me as your boyfriend. I would have gone with the whole friend thing if you weren’t ready to tell them, but…It made me really happy.”

“It’s not dumb at all. And I appreciate you so much for that. Still…I wanted to tell them. Regardless of what happened, I wanted them to know you as my boyfriend. It was really scary, but I’m glad I did it. I feel so…relieved.” Yuno nodded,  satisfied with his choice of words as he played with Leopold’s braid. “Was it like that for you when you came out to your siblings?”

“Honestly? I can’t remember. When I came out, I was so scared of chickening out I busted into Fuegoleon’s office and shouted it at the top of my lungs. Sis must have heard me from down the hall cause she yelled back “Good for you!” and Fuegoleon wasn’t fazed in the slightest. I think they both already knew.” Leopold laughed at the memory, smiling to himself. “I’m so lucky to have the siblings I have. I don’t know what I’d do without them.”

“Yeah…” Yuno hummed in agreement, letting that settle. It made him grateful for his siblings as well- and his comrades. How’d he get so lucky to find the people he met?

“So- it’s just the two of us now. Do you think anyone will be slipping out this evening?” Leopold asked, sitting up so they were eye to eye, a teasing grin on his lips. Yuno blinked before flushing some, feeling his eyes widen.

“Leo!”

“What? I’ve been good- I’ve held back all day from doing it.” He leaned in some, green eyes sparkling with warmth. “Now or never, right?”

Yuno rolled his eyes with a soft laugh, flicking his bangs away. “You’re a dork. Fine, come here.” 

Leopold wasted no time pressing his lips against Yuno’s, pushing him back into the grass.

It was all as Yuno hoped it would be and more. He was so glad he came home.

Thanks for reading!

[awakefor48hours]

(sorry if you’ve answered this before) who are your top ten favorite black clover characters and ships (platonic or romantic)? talk about them!

I actually haven't gotten this question before. Thanks for giving me an excuse to talk about them, anon ^_^

My Top Ten Favorite Characters are

1. Asta

I think part of the reason why I love Asta a lot stems from the fact that my expectations for Black Clover were pretty low. A lot of people complained about Asta's voice and personality so I thought I would just have to do my best to ignore Asta. But his voice didn't bother me and I'm glad I watched it because I love Asta.

I also love Asta because what's not to love about him. He's such a lovable goofball and he reminds me of myself when I was his age. Not to mention, I love turning on Black Clover when I'm exercising because it's easier for me to stay motivated to keep going.

2. Finral

I love Finral so much. He's such a nice guy and such a wet cat of a human being.

Also, I'm used to characters like Finral being annoying and perverted and that's what I expected when he was first on screen. But he's exact opposite. It's obvious that he's just a touch starved guy. To use an example, when Finral learned that Nero was actually a girl and he immediately flirts and just as quickly apologizes for it.

3. Yami

HE'S SO WEIRD in the best way possible. He kinda just does whatever he wants and doesn't let anything stop him.

Not to mention, as a neurodivergent person, it's nice to see an adult in powerful position give a chance to the weirdos and outcasts of the world.

4. Mereoleona

She's weird in her own way. She decided that instead of joining the Crimson Lions to just... live alone in the wilderness. Iconic.

Then when Fuegoleon was in a coma, she makes fun of him in the way that older sisters do. Like Yami, she just kinda does whatever she wants, sees the potential in people no matter their walk of life, and cares deeply for her squad and her little brothers.

5. Vanessa

Vanessa has a lot of personality traits that I wish I had. She's pretty laid back, takes shit from no one, caring, and can stand up for herself. I stress myself out a lot in life and it's honestly gotten in the way of me forming some friendships and has made me a yes woman when I really shouldn't.

6. Leopold

I want to put him in my pocket. He's so cute and nerdy. He loves competition and cares a lot for his friends. Also he reminds me a lot of a few friends I had in middle school.

7. Mimosa

Mimosa is really sweet but she still has other parts to her personality. She's gets annoyed at her brother a lot. I also relate to the fact that she sometimes is just really mean on accident. She can't read people's emotions to save her life.

I also really like the fact that she's a healer but treated with respect. I'm used to characters like her just being thrown in the background and portrayed only as weak and expendable. But she's give her moments to shine and the fact that she's in the Golden Dawn is proof of that.

8. Noelle

I didn't think I would like her when I first started watching Black Clover. Characters like her are typically one dimensional, shoved in the background, and are simply just the main character's love interest. But Noelle is different. She stands on her own two feet and can snap a bone when she needs to.

9. Yuno

I just think he's neat.

10. Klaus

From the Golden Dawn trio, I feel like Klaus is the straight man out of them. He's pretty calm but he does have his intense moments.

Honorable mentions: Luck, Zora, Fuegoleon, Rill, Julius, Liebe, Nacht, Gordon, and Dorothy.

-

My Favorite Ships are

1. Magluck (Magna/Luck)

I'm actually pretty sad that this ship isn't that popular. I started shipping them pretty early in the show. I think I started shipping them in Arc 5 (Seabed Temple Arc) but I was completely sold on their relationship after this hug.

2. MarsFana (Mars/Fana)

Not much to say here. These two have a very simple but nice romance. It's a very cookie cutter romance and some times that's all a romance needs to be. It's really hard to ruin childhood friends to lovers anyway.

I'd love to see more of them though considering how important they were in the beginning.

3. Finral x Finesse (do these guys have a ship name?)

I know that this ship isn't really popular and it makes sense. Finesse was added later in the show and. But I think she's good for Finral and it's clear he loves her. His devotion to change is strong and is another reason why I love him.

I don't have a lot a romantic ships for this show. Some honorable mentions: Astelle (Asta/Noelle), Greyche (Grey/Gauche)

My Favorite Platonic Ships are

1. Finral and Vanessa

These two share one (1) braincell and I love it.

Not to mention I love their parallels. They're both very flirty and come from a family that treated them poorly because of their magic. For Vanessa, Witch Queen saw potential in Vanessa and locked her away while Finral's skills were overlooked in favor of bother's. Vanessa is more confident while Finral is pretty cowardly. Their similarities and differences really help to balance their relationship and it works very well.

I also like when they fight together because it feels very much like they step up to the role of being Asta's older siblings.

I'm also just a huge sucker for physically affectionate m/f friendships.

2. Gauche, Gordon, and Grey

The trio I didn't know I wanted but the one I needed.

So while it's clear that Gordon and Grey are pretty similar to each other, Gauche is a great addition. They're the least social characters in the show and while Gordon and Grey want to make more friends, Gauche wants to push people away. Also, as the story progresses, it's clear that Gauche is starting to care about the Black Bulls, especially Grey and Gordon.

I think the best way to describe it, they remind me of the "they asked for no pickles" meme.

3. Asta and Leopold

As mentioned, Leopold reminds me of friends I made in middle school and Asta reminds me of me. So their relationship feels more personal to me. They clearly love each other and both encourage each other to do better.

4. Asta and Yuno

They both parallel each other in the way that Vanessa and Finral do. Asta represents the journey of hard work while Yuno represents the journey of natural talent. They constantly challenge each other in a way that no one else could do and neither of them would be where they are today without the other.

I sure do parallels.

5. Vanessa and Luck

These two are criminally underrated. Vanessa is definitely the Black Bulls' older sister but her relationship with Luck just hits different. She loves him and he clearly thinks highly of her too (in his own special way).

6. Nero and Lumiere

Lumiere is such a dork rivaled only by Julius and Nero keeps to herself for the most part but she is clearly soft for him and I really like that. In fact, in a flashback, Lumiere annotated a part in a book that said something like "Secre would love this."

7. Vanessa and Magna

Vanessa clearly enjoys poking fun and getting a rise out of Magna. But despite their bickering, they do like each other. You don't have to twist their arm if it came to helping them train.

8. Klaus and Asta

I like their relationship in the anime more than in the manga. Klaus worries and thinks about Asta a lot more in the anime more than magna. He also becomes the mom friend™️ when it comes to Asta.

9. Yami and Jack

These two are just really silly by themselves and together, their chaotic behaviors increases tenfold.

10. Sol and Magna

I'm putting these two last because they're not really friends (and I don't like Sol all that much) but they have potential. During the tournament arc, their bickering reminded me a lot of my siblings and I when we were teenagers-early twenties.

honorable mentions: Dorothy and Nozel, Vanessa and Noelle

[whispersbelongingbird]

Argument

Leopold after an argument with Yuno: I’m going to go outside, in the rain.. Yuno: Leopold: In the cold.. rain Yuno: Leopold: All alone.. Yuno: Leopold: Alone in the cold rain? Without an umbrella? Yuno:

[animeyanderelover]

I have decided to update my list and sort everything that I write for in alphabetical order so that everyone who wants to request something has an easier time overviewing everything. Additionally I have decided to add to every show a few characters I especially adore writing about so that you can do me a little favor if you desire to do so💜.

*sheepishly pokes my head in*

If oc x cc ships are okay, then can I ask for Lyra's ships of Yuno x Neva and William x Zera, and mine Fuegoleon x Solara 🥺👉👈

Hi Laura! No need to be sheepish. 💖 Thank you so much for the ask and for indulging my ramblings. I think it's incredibly sweet that you've asked about @lyranova's pairings. They're lovely! I'm honestly a little feral about Zerilliam, and I rambled about that and about the pairings in general in this response to Lyra's ask. ^^

I would be thrilled to share my Fuelara thoughts with you here, especially since, at this point, I am so invested in this pairing that I have to constantly, consciously remind myself that Solara is not a canon character. She just exists in the world of Black Clover in my mind now, and whenever I imagine or think of Fue, she is right there by his side.

I have to be honest that before I found your blog and we became friends, I really didn't think that much about Fuegoleon. I always liked him and had a lot of respect for him, but he wasn't really a character I just sat around and thought about too much. (His brotherly relationship with Leopold is just too functional. Let's blame that lol😂 I promise I'm only joking, and I adore them! Vermillion Bros for the win!!) But you write him with such depth and such nuance that it really gave me a new appreciation for his character. That one shot you wrote about his feelings of inadequacy after his injury has stuck with me to this day and remains one of my favorite fics I've ever read about anything in any fandom. You and your incredibly powerful writing made me love Fue, and as I was coming to really love him and becoming so much more invested in his character and his story, I found your absolutely incredible Solara who is truly (and this is probably intentional on your part but needs to be said) perfect for him.

Fuelara is everything a canon character x oc relationship should be in my opinion. I hope it goes without saying that Solara is such an incredibly strong and compelling character in her own right and I love that you've given her her own story beyond just being Fue's love interest, but even beyond that, she fits so seamlessly into the world of Black Clover (and I know you shared with me in the past that that was something that was really important to you while creating her, and I think you have succeeded in that in every possible way). Like I said in the beginning of this post, I really do genuinely have to remind myself she isn't canon. She just feels like she belongs there. I can't tell you how much the way you've meticulously crafted Fuelara and weaved them into the world of BC has been a personal inspiration for me. (Apologies in advance for the tangent but) my big passion project right now is a very ambitious multi-chapter fic for another fandom which I'm co-creating with a friend of mine, and it involves an OC x CC relationship (that I'm mostly in charge of 😅) so I actually find myself thinking about and talking about Fuelara as kind of this blueprint and inspiration for everything I can only hope my own ship will ultimately be. Even though the world of that story (late 90s/early 2000s suburban America) and the world of Black Clover couldn't possibly be more different, I'm sure Sprinkles could tell you that I have specifically mentioned Fuelara (specifically their relationship's seamless integration into the existing world and story) and what an inspiration it is for me personally, so many times while working on this project. It is truly so impressive, and I want to write like that. (Side note, I have definitely been using your tips and suggestions for OC integration throughout this process, so thank you again for that!)

Beyond just how well Solara perfectly fits into the world (which I've rambled about a lot), she also perfectly fits with Fuegoleon to the point that it's actually difficult for me to imagine him with anyone else at this point. I'm honestly really surprised I have made it through these ramblings without any random, unsolicited music references, but you're about to get one. There's a song called "We Go Well Together" by Goldheart (Spotify; YouTube) and here's a few lines, "We're just like kids up on a swing/Finger and a wedding ring/We go perfectly/It's so easy." That's just Fuelara to me: It's so easy. That's not to say that it's easy for them--they've certainly had their struggles and been through so much together, but their relationship dynamic, their love for each other, and their interactions are just so effortless. Of course Embers is fantastic, but I think I love your cozy little one shots about them most of all because I just adore how they interact with each other. They're so comfortable with each other, and it feels so real and so genuine. There's really no need for me to suspend belief or to try to create some buy in into their relationship. They just talk to each other and I'm immediately convinced they're deeply in love and just perfect for each other. One of my favorite things about them is how they are both such strong people, but they can be vulnerable together, and I love these really tender moments where they encourage each other that they don't have to carry the weight of the world alone. I just can't get over how supportive they are of each other, and I just adore that.

Gah, this ship is just so good. It's canon. It's honestly better than canon in a lot of cases, and I really can't get enough of it. I think I've said this before, but I'll say this again. Thank you for this pairing! I love it. ❤️‍🔥

[mitsuki-komori]

Asta x Leopold or Yuno x Leopold?

I like them both, but Asta x Leopold for sure. I shipped that first and it makes more sense to me, plus it’s really cute. Don’t get me wrong, I like Yuno x Leopold, but I’ll just always be an Asta x Leopold fan.

[loosesodamarble]

For the 4 ship classifications: astelle and astayuno :3

Ayo Spinda! Asking about some classic Black Clover ships, hm? Alrighty then~!

For Astelle, I find the ship makes sense and on the compelling side! Asta and Noelle are two absolute angels of people though their kindness manifests differently. Asta is more upfront which Noelle definitely wants and needs after the first 15 years of her life. Meanwhile, Noelle is hesitant to be soft but her kindness still shows in her determination to aid and protect. (The moment during the Star Award Festival where Asta looks at Noelle and goes "I like her quite a bit" after she takes the lead in helping soothe a lost little girl got me all KSJAHFLUAEHTIAHELTEALGHIUGHRIG!) Also, they see the best in each other. Noelle sees her magic as out of control and useless? Asta is in total awe of her power and just knows she'll master her magic one day. Asta laments that he's just a peasant boy who is lucky to have the friends he has, Noelle knows he's the hardest working and most deserving Magic Knight to ever Knight! They see the best and bring the best out of each other! How can I not adore this ship?! Trick question. I'm physically incapable of even being neutral towards Astelle.

As for Asta x Yuno, it makes a lot of sense but I'm personally not compelled. Asta and Yuno aren't merely orphans in the same church. They are each other's inspiration and rival. They believe in each other, challenge each other, defend each other. I can see why people would ship them because their lives are deeply connected. But I don't vibe with them as a romantic ship. I see them as friends and siblings but not as potential romantic partners. It's not just because I'm so into Astelle. I find ships like Mimosa and Leopold compelling too. But with Yuno, I just don't feel it.
