Ramona Headcanons:

Ramona considered pulling a Polly Perks and joining up with the Borogravian army at one point, but decided against it for a few reasons. For one thing, she felt like she needed to stay at the orphanage for the sake of her siblings, y’know keep them as happy and as safe as she could despite the matrons. However, it just wasn’t because of that. Oh no…

It’s also because she would have been absolutely dreadful at keeping her identity a secret! Like, okay, dressing up as a guy? No problem. She’s already got short hair, hell if she tried hard enough she could even sound a little like a boy, but it’s the acting part that would get her.

Though Ramona’s a natural performer, and would normally have no trouble with a bit of acting but here the thing; she normally uses her illusions for things like that. But since she wouldn’t be able to use magic she’d feel a bit nervous. Especially since the incident that gave her the scar on her face would still be pretty fresh in her mind.

Then there’s the fact that Ramona is very…forthright with her emotions. Like, she’s sweet as pie if she likes you or at the very least respects you to some extent, but if she hates your guts? You’ll know. I can see her maybe tolerating someone like Corporal Strappi’s nonsense for a day max before snapping.

And there’s the…messy bits of war. Ramona has a very weak stomach, hates dirt and germs, and seeing any bodily fluid that’s meant to be on the inside. So with all the injuries and disease and infections, she’d be sick to her stomach a good chunk of the time.

And the bodies…she’d start crying. Like, she’d just start crying, which is understandable, but very unhelpful for her act and her attempts at soldiering in general.

But she’d probably get on well with Polly and the gang though if she had joined up. And I can see her introducing Mal to the wonder that is chocolate covered espresso beans, so there’s that. She’d probably be really really protective of Wazzer for…reasons that I’m not going to spoil.

On a slightly less depressing note, Ramona does look up to them since their efforts helped to make her country a better place and by extension, her orphanage. She could finally be free, go off to continue her training, and see the disc knowing that those who’d seen grown to see as her family would be in good hands without her. So…if she ever met them, she’d be totally awestruck.

Somewhere In My Sleep Part 3 (Kyungsoo Series)

(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) Mini Masterlist

Author: @julietsoddeye AU: Cannon/EXO Universe Genre: Fantasy | Fluff | Smut | Angst Pairing: Do Kyungsoo x Unnamed OC (Iris) Trigger Warning: Nightmares, Probably wrong representation of Greek Mythology, Mythical and Evil creatures. Word Count: 1,701

Plot: You were given the ability to Astral Project (Out of body experience) by a deity and you meet a faceless soul of a woman in the 4D world who guides you through the experience. But you are given only 1 hour of your day to ‘spend time’ with Kyungsoo. Kyungsoo sometimes remembers you, but it’s mostly hazy since his job being an Idol doesn’t give him the most peaceful sleep. You and Kyungsoo met accidentally one day and he becomes curious of you.

The sudden itchiness is unavoidable. I tried scratching my skin but I don’t know why my hands are not moving. I can now feel my skin crawling because of the itchiness and I’m pretty sure my skin is red by now, I tried moving my head to see my body but my gaze from my bedroom’s ceiling is locked.

Am I dreaming? Was this another weird dream? Or am I being paralyzed in my sleep? I haven’t experienced paralysis in a long time ever since I started sleeping early, but is it being triggered because I came back to work earlier than my doctor advised me?

“Don’t worry child, just focus on what you want to do and you can do it.” A soft feminine voice spoke. I can hear it all around me, ringing inside my head.

My body suddenly became numb, the burn from the itchiness is now gone. But soon whimpers, cry, screams and evil laughter come. Some are calling out my name, asking me to save them from the misery they are living in.

“Help me!!!” I screamed out in between the different sounds in my head.

“Just focus on my voice, my child. Do not be afraid.” I heard the voice of the woman again. Of all the robust voices and noise in the background, hers was the only one who sounded sincere.

I closed my eyes and counted to twenty slowly. Only focused on the female voice who continued to sing a lullaby. My aunt was the one who taught me from a young age to count to twenty and focus on her voice whenever her husband comes home drunk and angry.

Even when he’s beating her up to a pulp, her voice still remained calm and collected for my sake. After my countdown, she would be crawling limply to where I was and hug me tight, crying while she held me in her weak arms. And I would fall asleep as she hums me a sad song with her unstable breathing.

“Seventeen… Eighteen… Nineteen… Twenty…” I said the last number softly and suddenly I felt myself get lifted high up. Flying freely as the cold but comfortable air hit me everywhere.

I opened my eyes and found myself floating around my bedroom. The horrid sounds for different entities are now gone except for her beautiful lullaby. I looked every now and I found her floating closely beside me. I cannot see her face as she has none, but I can tell she’s beautiful. She was glowing, lighting up my dark room.

I accidentally looked at my bed and I saw myself lying there. My chest pumping up and down with steady breathing. I looked peaceful and happy in my sleep. No sign of stress from what I always see in the mirror everywhere. My eyes widen with the sudden realization.

“Am—Am I dead?” I looked at the woman beside me; she held my hand and took me with her as we flew away from my apartment. I closed my eyes, prepared for the collision that never came.

“Child, open your eyes. You are free now.” I heard her voice again, ringing everywhere in my ears. I did as instructed and we are now high above into the night clouds, the city lights of Seoul under me was breathtakingly beautiful. I was never afraid of heights, so I ‘m not worried about that right now. And I’m dead after all, no need to be scared.

“Beautiful!” I said with a sigh full of admiration flew out my mouth.

“Not as beautiful as your soul, my child. This is nothing compared to what I see in you.” She floated gracefully around me and I follow her every move.

“Who are you?” I asked suddenly and she stopped her dancing in the air.

“I am your spirit guide into the Astral Plane. I’m here to teach you everything you need to know about this dimension we are both in.” She explains with her serene voice. She stopped for a few seconds before talking again.

“I was sent by the deity who gave you the ability to remove your Astral Body from your Physical Body.” She added.

“You mean the Greek Mythology God Dionysus?” I ask again but with a soft voice this time. “Wait, I’m not dead?” I added with a surprise expression in my voice.

“There is no such thing as a myth, my child. Everything exists, even Unicorns.” She said, completely ignoring my follow up question. I can tell she is smiling brightly even though physically she doesn’t have a face.

“U—unicorns?” I gasped as I said the word. I felt silly and childish just mentioning the word ‘unicorns’.

“Child we have all the time to discuss other things, for now, where do you want to be?” She suddenly changed the topic without a hitch.

“The only place I wanna be right now…” I hesitated for a minute and she just completely ignores it, patiently waiting for my answer.

“K…Kyungsoo. Where he is right now.” I cleared out my throat and just completely let go. To be honest I don’t want to tarnish the image she saw in me. But I don’t have any bad intention with Kyungsoo; I just wanna be with him, that’s all.

“My child, lust and physical desires are natural. Even the Gods and Goddesses have them. I will never judge for it.” She said without any evidence of criticism in her voice.

“Can you hear my thoughts too, just like the Gods?” I ask, rather shyly now.

“No. But I can feel what your heart wants to say. I have guided millions of souls in my endless lifetime, but you were the only astral soul that I felt connected to.” She paused and continues speaking.

“All the Gods who have been watching over you ever since you were born knew that all you ever wanted in life is that boy you speak about. And they heard your silent prayers. Your mouth or your mind may not ask for it, but your heart does. Your sincerity pierced through them, but only Dionysus acted upon it. Of course with the blessing of the one above him, and everyone like him.” Her explanation felt so long, only because she spoke softly and surely.

“You mean his father, Zeus?”

“No, child. The only one, the creator of you, me and even Zeus himself. The creator of life and death.” She now started to fly away from me and I catch up with her.

“You mean God,” I told her once I caught up with her.

“You may call Him that, but He has different names by different people and religion. But one thing is for certain, He is the Father of all things you can and can’t see or touch.” She suddenly disappeared and I stopped flying around. I looked everywhere but can’t find her.

“Where are you? Why did you leave me? What is your name?” I call out to no one.

“I will answer your question the next time we see each other. For now, you can go wherever you wish to go. But you can only spend 1 hour with the boy.” Her voice sounding more and more distant now.

“Only one hour? How do I go to him, I don’t know where he lives!!!” I call out again.

“Think of him and you will be with him…” Her beautiful and poised voice suddenly disappeared now.

---

Think of him and you will be with him…

Think of him…

You will be with him…

Those words keep repeating in your head but not completely registering yet. It has been more than an hour now since she disappeared completely and you were just flying around the city, looking at how the lights are beautiful from above.

If only you are with Kyungsoo, how romantic would this be, you thought to yourself. And with that, your astral body started traveling at the speed of light. You screamed when the force pull you without your approval, if you were in your physical body, you would have been puking by now.

After what felt like an eternity, you stopped. You tried looking around but see nothing. Your eyes were open but you see nothing. After a few seconds later, your vision is slowly coming back. You closed and rub your eyes to help it adjust and when you opened them you see him. Sleeping peacefully.

You gasped and covered your mouth shut. But nothing happened, he didn’t even stir one bit after you made a noise. Half of his body was buried under a comforter and the half was sprawled over his bed. His right arms up on his head and his other hugging a pillow on his chest.

You followed the heaving of his chest up and down, and an adoring smile crept on your lips at the peacefulness of his sleep. Your peripheral vision caught something in the background and when you looked at it, you saw him staring at you with heavy-set looking eyes. You jumped up in surprise, but instead of bouncing, you gracefully flew 2 meters away from him.

“Who— who are… Who are you?” He slurred his words.

“Y—you can see me?” The edgy feeling of being caught is now making your skin crawl.

You looked back at the bed and sure enough you see him there, still sleeping.

“Who are… Who are you? Are you my… Girlfriend?” He slurred again as if he was drunk.

What was happening? Why are there two Kyungsoos? You saw that the barely conscious version of him started floating around you.

“Holy shit, you’re astral too?” You slapped your mouth shut again for the second time, halting the curse that exits your mouth.

“Shhhhhh. Don’t curse, Junmyeon Hyung will hear you.” He giggles drunkenly and his head started making circles and his eyes started shaking violently.

“Are you… drunk?” You ask silently, inching a little bit of space near him.

“I’m not… I’m… I’m just sleepy…” With that, his astral soul collapsed slowly and started lining with his physical body and he suddenly jolts up awake, looking straight to where you were floating…
