Resurrection

Teen!Reader & Primo/Secondo/Terzo Genre: Scenarios, fluff, hurt/comfort Characters: Primo, Secondo, Terzo, Copia, Sister Imperator, Mountain, Swiss, and Aether Summary: Reader is the child of Primo/Secondo/Terzo (depending on the scenario) and they react to their father getting resurrected. Reader is also either a few days/weeks from turning 18 or recently turned 18 (so they would've initially died when they were around 13 or 14). Warnings: GN!Reader, SFW, crying, I'm putting more emphasis on the HURT/COMFORT part, poorly translated Italian, all gifs not mine A/N: Whoa, two Ghost fics in two days? I'm getting productive before my annual hibernation lol

Primo

You had caught a rumor of one of the Papas getting resurrected from the dead but it was only a guess who it was going to be. It wasn't until you overheard Copia and Sister Imperator talking in Copia's office about the Papa they resurrected; your father.

Running down the corridors of the Ministry to Primo's old bedroom, your adrenaline spiking beyond belief for the first time in years. When you reached the door, a ghoul was standing in front of the door, clearly on guard. It was Mountain and he immediately recognized you.

"I'm sorry, (Y/N), but I can't let you in yet." Mountain warned but his voice was soft, sympathetic even.

"Please, I have to see him. I need to know if he's okay." You practically begged, you felt your voice shake and knew you'd start becoming emotional any minute.

Mountain opened his mouth to protest but the way you looked so desperate and the fact he knew you were so young when Primo died... He eventually just sighed and stepped aside.

"Be careful with him though, he's still trying to understand everything." Mountain warned, gently placing his hand on your shoulder before letting you enter.

You sighed before opening the door, preparing for honestly anything. What you saw made your heart feel whole again. Primo was sitting on his sofa, his favorite and prized flowers in front of him as he inspected each pedal for any damage. He had heard the door open and shut but didn't look up right away, when he did, the expression he held softened.

"(Y/N)...?" Primo asked, his voice was a little gravelly but you expected that.

All you could do was nod, not trusting your voice. Primo stood up and made his way to you, it was a little slow but you knew he was just trying to wrap his head around everything. When he was close enough, you hugged him, allowing yourself to cry now.

"Oh, mio caro..." Primo sighed, returning the hug. His hand gently placed itself on the back of your head. "I'm so sorry I missed out on so much." His voice was now shaky.

"It's not your fault." You muttered, you were trying to not cling too hard to him because you didn't know how he was physically. But if you could, you'd squeeze him for dear life.

"I know, but I still feel awful about it." Primo said, he was definitely crying now too.

"I missed you." You muttered, afraid to let go of him.

"I know, mio caro, but I'm here now." Primo comforted, kissing the top of your head.

You finally pulled away and smiled at him, he smiled back.

"(Y/N), could you tell me who took care of my garden while I was gone?" Primo asked, glancing at his flower pot.

"I did, with the help of Mountain. It made me feel like you were still here even if it was just my imagination." You admitted, chuckling a little.

"Well, you did an amazing job, mio caro." Primo said, taking your hand in his. "I'm sorry I left so sudden and when you were still so young, but let's try to make up for time, sÌ?"

"Sì, Papa." You nodded, wiping your tears away.

Secondo

Instead of running, you hurriedly walked towards Secondo's bedroom. You didn't want to hold your breath and hope it was true because you had been lied to by Sister Imperator before, not Copia so much unless he was trying to protect you.

But when you saw Swiss standing in front of the door, a place he normally wouldn't be, you knew for sure he was back. You slowed your walking down a bit as you got closer, Swiss was already giving you a look that said "I'm sorry".

"(Y/N), please..." Swiss muttered, shaking his head slowly.

"Please what? I deserve to see him." You said sternly, now standing directly in front of him.

"I know, but Papa didn't want him to have any visitors yet and honestly, how do you think he'll react when he sees you—" You cut Swiss off.

"He deserves to know. You weren't here when he was but he wasn't informed about anything, everyone left him in the dark and I will not let that continue now that he's back." You practically ordered, raising your voice a little.

It wasn't common for humans to be able to scare ghouls, but it seemed you had this ability to do just that. Swiss didn't want to argue with you anymore and just decided to let you enter the room, you thanked him and apologized because you did feel bad for yelling.

Secondo immediately looked up at the door when it opened, he didn't seem to recognize you right away until he thought about it. The way you were standing and your features were all too familiar, then it hit him, but he was a little too slow.

"Hello, father." You greeted, your voice was soft because you didn't want to startle him and because you were nervous.

Secondo stood up and began walking to you. "(Y/N)," he trailed off as he glanced over you. "You... You've grown." He chuckled, a stark difference from him before.

You nodded, chuckling with him. You weren't sure what to feel right now, all you knew was that before long, you had tears falling down your face. "Oh, ragazzino." Secondo cooed, bringing you in for a hug.

This sudden show of this much love coming from Secondo felt weird but you didn't care, maybe he's realized that life can be short and to accept everything as is now that he's back, he wants to fix anything that may have been broken.

"I'm so sorry, (Y/N). I wish I had been there for you just a little bit more back then, but I can try to make it up to you if you'll let me." Secondo offered, gently swaying you side to side as if you were still a baby.

You nodded, smiling a little. "I thought you were too stone cold to do anything like that." You joked, chuckling a little.

"Never, just was too busy. But if I was, Hell must've warmed me up then." Secondo joked back, there was a slight shake in his voice.

"I thought I'd lost you forever." You sobbed, clutching his robes.

"Oh, mio caro. You could never lose me, even in death. I'll always watch over you." Secondo comforted, the shake in his voice more prominent. "Ti amo, (Y/N), tanto."

"Anch'io ti amo, Papa." You whispered back, smiling the best you could.

Terzo

Dread filled you, not because he was back, but because you were afraid how the Ministry would treat him again. Regardless, you went to find him. You had to remain mostly professional still because you were pretty much the only person in the Ministry up for being elected Cardinal but you had to wait until eighteen to be officially a Cardinal.

Once you made it to the last corner to his room though, you changed. Now desperate to see him again, you ran for the door and, despite Aether telling you not to, opened it to see Terzo staring at the wound around his neck in a mirror.

Terzo noticed the door opening immediately turned around to look at whoever opened his bedroom door so suddenly. Aether followed you in and tried ushering you away but you lightly argued with him but it wasn't until Terzo told Aether you could be here that the ghoul left and shut the door.

You stared at him in disbelief, he was alive despite how they killed him. You also seemed to be taller than him, which kind of surprised you.

"I left you alone for, how many years, and you had the audacity to grow taller than your old man." Terzo teased, crossing his arms in front of him.

You chuckled, it was airy and more like a sigh but the smile on your face let him know you were happy. "Are you okay? Your, uh..." You trailed off, glancing at his neck.

"Oh, this thing? Beats me how they managed to do it but I'm also not going to question it because our Dark Lord works in mysterious ways." Terzo sighed, gently touching the stitches.

You fell silent, not sure what to say or do. Terzo noticed, the look on his face changed from confident and cocky to concern and sadness. He sighed before opening his arms, allowing you to hug him. You didn't hesitate on returning the gesture and clung to him as if he was just in your mind and you would never see him again. You began crying, unable to hold your emotions back.

"Oh, amore mio. I'm so sorry I left you alone when you needed me." Terzo apologized, his own voice breaking as he cried.

"It's not your fault." You muttered, sniffling.

"Ti amo, (Y/N). Mi scuso per tutto." Terzo whispered, kissing the top of your head.

"Anch'io ti amo, Papa." You muttered, smiling a little as you pulled away a bit.

You wiped the tears from your face and chuckled a little at the small stain of tears on Terzo's shoulder, Terzo did the same.

"There is something I should probably tell you before anything else. Um, I'm gonna become Cardinal shortly after I turn eighteen." You explained, fidgeting with your hands.

Terzo's eyes widened before he smiled big. "You really have grown up, taking on a Cardinal's responsibilities at an early age isn't easy." Terzo chuckled, he was definitely proud of you.

"I know, but Copia has been helping me with it when he can." You informed, shrugging a bit.

"Copia... How's he been handling the whole 'Papa Emeritus IV' thing?" Terzo asked, it wasn't bitter or mean, it sounded as if he actually cared about him.

"Good. Better than most thought." You admitted, sighing.

Terzo paused a bit, a small smile growing in the silence. "I'm so proud of you, mio caro." Terzo admitted, giving you another hug.

"Thank you, Papa." You muttered in return, resting your head on his shoulder.

Copia x Male!Reader & Ghouls

Genre: SFW, angst, hurt, very little comfort

Summary: Copia and Male!Reader have been dating for a long time, the ghouls consider them parents even. The couple start talking seriously about settling down and even Copia retiring before he leaves for the last part of his tour, only to come back and have his dreams shattered.

Characters: Copia, Swiss, Sodo, Rain, Cirrus, Phantom, Aurora, Aether, Cumulus, Sunshine, Rain, Mountain, Phil (special guest for a special ghoul), Sister Imperator, Secondo, Terzo, Primo

Warnings: Death, major hurt, mentions of drugs that result in death, very little comfort, Sister Imperator and Phil (they deserve their own warnings for this one)

A/N: This one has been on my mind a bit because I wanted to write something sad but I'll admit, this kinda wasn't what I expected. This is also Sister Imperator's continuation of whatever her idea was with killing the three Emeritus brothers but taking it more personal, and I may have accidentally given her toxic mother in law vibes. I also cried while writing this so... GOOD LUCK!

Copia and you had been staying in bed all day, it was his short break in between doing his Europe tour and his USA tour. He didn't wanna do much and since most of his responsibilities were taken off his shoulders until the actual end of tour, he decided to just relax when he could.

You kept falling asleep and waking up randomly, your body had gotten plenty of enough sleep but the comfort both the bed and being cuddled by Copia made you sleepy. Neither of you got up other than using the bathroom or to get something to eat or drink, and neither of you planned on getting up today.

It was his last day before he had to catch a plan to head to the USA to finish up his tour, he wasn't gonna waste his time on something that demanded his attention and wanted his last day of break to be a relaxing one. He voiced his nervousness to you a few times, but that was all he would say when talking about the tour.

The day felt like it ended too soon as the night rolled in and Copia finally gave up on trying to stay awake and fell asleep for the night, you remained awake for a bit longer and cuddled him, hoping he'd sleep better so he was well rested enough to make his flight. Eventually, you fell asleep as well, your arms wrapped around his waist. You woke up the next day to an empty bed but a note was on Copia's pillow, you woke up a bit more before you read the note.

"Dear amore, I'm sorry we weren't able to say our farewells in person before I left but I couldn't disturb you when you were sleeping. As usual, I left behind one of my red jackets for you as you asked me to last time I went away. This tour will end up being a bit longer than last time but I assure you that I will be home eventually, and then we can start just being a family. All my love, Copia."

You couldn't help but smile while reading the letter, you sighed as you put the letter on your bedside table before deciding how you were going to spend your day today. Mostly you would either stay on yours and Copia's room doing whatever until he got back or you would go in about your day like normal, but since he was gonna be gone for a while, you could alternate between both.

The Ministry was very quiet without Copia and his ghouls, the Ministry was always a little bit quiet but it was eerily quiet without them. Copia always managed to call you after every ritual and check up on how you're doing, it was very sweet and sometimes he'd even fall asleep while on call. After a call with him after the LA show, you tried falling asleep.

Falling asleep without Copia was a bit hard for you, but you managed. You rolled over in your bed, now facing the door. Your eyes opened a bit and you saw a figure standing in the doorway, you didn't know who it was until the silhouette had a tail, now you knew it was a ghoul.

You didn't move, afraid to. The figure wasn't moving, just staring. You had always felt a bit vulnerable when Copia and the ghouls weren't around but now you really wished you had taken Copia's offer when he suggested that you join the tour with them.

The ghoul finally took a step closer, your heart pounding loudly in your chest. You tried to see if they were holding something but the darkness in the room made it hard to see anything, the lava lamp Copia bought giving very little light. You wanted to scream for help but you knew that sound didn't travel as fast as you would've needed it to in the Ministry and whoever this was would jump on you as soon as you made noise.

When the ghoul finally got close enough to you, you saw him holding a syringe. You didn't dare to question what was inside of it but you knew it wasn't good, that was when he tried to touch you. A small fight broke out between you two, you managed to knock the syringe out of his hand and it rolled away towards the bedroom door. The fight wasn't anything major other than you fighting for your life, you just needed to fend him off long enough for you to be able to run out of the room and to a dorm of siblings.

The ghoul managed to over-power you and someone rolled the syringe back to the ghoul, you weren't able to see them right away since you were panicking as the ghoul stuck the needle into your next and injected whatever liquid was in the syringe. The ghoul got off of you but you felt weak from both fighting and from whatever was just put into you.

You managed to roll onto your stomach and see who helped him, your eyes widened as Sister Imperator was ushering the ghoul out of the room. You tried to sit up but nothing was strong enough to keep you lifted long enough.

"Sister?" You managed to rasp out, catching her attention. "Why?"

She sighed before looking back at you. "I'm just doing what is best for the Clergy." Imperator simply stated before leaving the room, shutting the door behind her.

Copia grew worried his last couple show nights, you weren't answering his calls or texts. His ghouls noticed this and when they found out why he was so anxious, they talked to Aether and Sunshine, they still lived in the Ministry despite Sister Imperator wanting them gone.

Sunshine confirmed that she hadn't seen you in a while but thought you were just taking the relaxing time to yourself. Aether admitted to thinking that originally too but said that when he passed Copia's room yesterday, it felt too quiet. The ghouls decided not to tell Copia about anything the other two told them because it would've made him more anxious and try to cancel the rest of the shows just so he could come back home and see what was wrong.

Finally, the flight back home felt way longer than necessary due to everyone's anxiety about you. Copia honestly didn't know what to expect but he just hoped that you were okay, at least enough so he could be with you until further notice. What all of them didn't know was that Aether's feelings about this intensified and needed to know the answers, so on the day of their arrival, Aether went to Copia's room.

Upon initial arrival, Aether didn't notice anything that gave him info on your status. He gently knocked on the door, waiting for you to respond. When nothing came, he knocked again.

"Hey, it's Aether. You doing okay in there? Copia and the ghouls are coming back today." Aether called out, waiting for anything.

Nothing.

Aether gathered up the courage to open the door, he peeked inside the room before he noticed you on the ground, motionless. His heart dropped and he immediately was by your side, he shook your body and repeated your name, trying to get you to wake up. Finally he gave up and picked you up before bolting to the hospital wing, his mind was trying to think the worst but all he wanted to focus on right now was making sure you were okay.

Sunshine had sent him a text shortly after the doctors took you away, asking if everything was okay. Aether responded simply by texting.

"Wait by the main door. When they get here, lead them to the hospital wing."

Sunshine decided not to question and followed Aether's instructions, she ran the the main door and waited impatiently for the others to show up. When Copia and the other ghouls finally got there, she quickly told them all to just leave their luggage and to follow her. It was about you.

That was all that it took for Copia to follow very closely behind Sunshine, hoping his greatest fear didn't come true. Aether was pacing the waiting room and talked with them for a bit, telling all of them what he saw before a doctor came up to them.

"Is he okay?" Copia asked, his voice trembling a bit.

The doctor hesitated to respond, seeing as this was tearing all of them up inside. Finally he sighed before saying, "I'm sorry."

That was all it took for all of them. No one could help the tears that spilled out from their eyes. Copia was the first one to gather himself enough to further ask questions.

"What was the cause?" Copia asked, his voice laced in pain.

"We still don't know yet. We'll have to do an autopsy to pinpoint what it was." Silence was met with the doctor's answer. "I'm so sorry for your loss."

The doctor left, all of them had tears staining their faces. After a brief moment of silence, Sister Imperator walked into the hospital wing and saw them all standing there. She decided to wait until Copia came crawling to her to even touch the topic of your death, she quietly and quickly left the area and retreated back to her office.

The Saltarian, however, noticed this and decided to help them settle back home. He carried all their luggage back to their rooms without complaining and even showed some sympathy to Copia.

It wasn't even a full day since they got back and everyone was quiet, word spread throughout the Ministry and now everyone knew. You had been a part of a lot of peoples lives in the Ministry and you were well loved by everyone, some even claimed to say they wished you were their guardian of sorts. All of these words of mourn and condolences flooded Copia's and the ghouls' ears, they were the closest to you after-all.

Copia talked sternly about having a proper funeral for you with Sister Imperator, who originally believed you didn't need one. As soon as Copia was allowed to hold the funeral, he set everything up. When it came to knowing who you were both as a Brother of Sin and who you were prior to the Ministry, Copia knew everything. He spent hours picking photos you would've wanted on display for the funeral and picked all the flowers out, remembering the specific flower you liked. Ironically, Primo's old garden, that's now taken care of by Mountain, had just enough of the right flowers for this event.

The day of the funeral finally came, no one had a dry eye. Copia tried his best not to cry too much since he needed to be semi-professional and because he didn't want to smudge his Papal paints. Copia had hoped the first time he'd hold something for you within the church would be yours and his wedding, not your funeral. All the ghouls didn't wear their masks, it was a well known secret you had that you preferred the ghouls maskless and they wanted to keep to your wishes.

Sister Imperator didn't show up, but Copia didn't care. She had started becoming bitter to you once you and Copia started talking about marriage, this pissed Copia off beyond anyone's expectations. A short piano version of the song "Life Eternal" was played by Cumulus, she gently hit some wrong notes by accident but it didn't take a rocket scientist to simply glance over and see her eyes filled with tears.

Copia did the first speech, he had two, one as Papa Emeritus IV and one as Copia Emeritus. Some ghouls and some siblings held some speeches as well, Swiss' ended up being the second most gut punching speech besides Copia's. Swiss basically saw you as a parent, that you and Copia were his dads. Most of the other ghouls felt that way too but Swiss spent more time around you, he was clearly in pain by your untimely death.

It was one of your wishes to be cremated when you died, no one knew it would happen so soon but they all agreed to give you what you wanted. The funeral ended and then you were taken away to become ash, everyone mostly just went into their rooms to let out the rest of their feelings or to break the barrier that held during the whole event. At least, that's what all the ghouls did.

Swiss screamed into his pillow, Sodo almost broke his desk, Rain drew a bath for himself and refused to leave it, Mountain curled himself up into a ball and couldn't stop crying, Cirrus felt too numb to do anything, Cumulus kept being reminded of you.

The new ghouls, Phantom and Aurora didn't know how to handle these strong emotions. Phantom went to Aether for help, to which Aether calmed him down and said, "Sometimes it's okay to just feel things and not talk." Aether then proceeded to hold Phantom through the night. Aurora went to Sunshine, she couldn't talk but couldn't control her sobbing. All she was able to get out was, "I miss him." Sunshine broke down with Aurora and they just held each other.

Copia wasn't handling this any better. By now, he's gone through almost all the stages of grief but now his stuck on acceptance. He still didn't know the cause of your death, until two days after your funeral, the autopsy report was sent to him via email. You were drugged... just like his brothers.

After printing out the email, Copia marched his way to Sister Imperator's room. He barged into her office and demanded answers, she questioned why he went after her first, to which he laid down plenty of explanations that were all valid. Before she could ask anything else, he slammed the printed paper down in front of her and demanded to know what was happening. She remained silent for a bit before say how her intentions were good, causing Copia to laugh like he was losing his mind.

"What makes you think killing has good intention?!" Copia shouted, his eyes boring into Imperator's.

"We shouldn't be fighting over this." Imperator tried to excuse, but Copia wasn't having it.

"No! I want to know what the fuck happened to him while I was gone!" Copia demanded, this was the only time she's ever seen him get this mad.

"I just wanted you to continue the bloodline." Imperator admitted, she knew that he wasn't going to take this well.

Copia went silent, letting what she just said sink you. "You killed him in hopes I'd fuck around with a girl like my father?!" Copia asked, his voice starting soft but got louder at the end.

"Not exactly!" Imperator tried to justify, but to no avail.

"That was why you hated him! Hate to break it to you, but I was going to do the responsible thing and lay low and start an actual family with him. Maybe then I would've been able to do something I was proud of, not something I was forced to do." Copia explained, his heart completely shattering.

Imperator was at a loss for words, she knew that if word got out, she'd be hunted like a monster by the whole church. After Copia asked if she had anything else to fess up to and no response from Imperator, he left. He went back to his room and let everything go, all his rage, all his pain, and even his faith. The ghouls heard to commotion and went to check on him after it died down.

They found him sitting on his bed, his head in his hands as the room looked like a tornado just went through it. Swiss was the first to his side, making sure he didn't physically hurt himself both on accident or on purpose. Aether asked what was wrong and Copia explained, not holding the truth back. Now all the ghouls hated Imperator, and when the ghouls hated you, they didn't hide it.

"I need to speak with him." You said urgently, not paying any mind to the alive people around you.

"He already knows." Secondo's voice booms in the halls, louder than you expected.

You froze, tears brimming your eyes. Since your death, the three brothers have been helping you adjust. They had been here all this time but no one could see them, their coffins had been warded so their ghosts couldn't be seen. Your vase or box must've been similarly warded.

"Besides, regardless of what you do, nothing will work. We've all tried communicating with him." Terzo added, he had been one of the first dead Papa's to try and reconnect to the living.

"This isn't fair." You muttered, now staring at your hands that were a light shade of blue and a bit see through.

"Nothing will ever be fair—" Primo tried to comfort, but it didn't work.

"No, you don't understand. We were going to get married after he got back. He promised me, he even bought a ring when he was in America, he showed me one that he was thinking about." You explained, the tears left your eyes but didn't go anywhere else.

The three all looked saddened by this, silence filled the room you were in. They had overheard from the afterlife that you and Copia were talking about settling down but they weren't aware that plans had been set in stone.

"I at least have to see him, I need to know he's okay." You muttered, all three of them quickly glanced at each other before nodding.

"You can stay next to him for as long as you need to, he won't know you're there, but if you're lucky enough, he might feel your presence." Terzo explained, he wanted to give you as much information about being a ghost as he could.

You thanked them before running to try and find him, you figured he'd be in his bedroom, and he was. He was now laying in the bed, staring at the ceiling. He laid on his side, almost as if expecting you to be beside him. You started to slowly approach him, not sure what to do. Copia reached into his pocket and pulled out a box, the engagement ring he bought inside it. You sighed a bit before getting in bed beside him, you hesitated cuddling into him but decided to say fuck it and go for it.

Copia tensed before he relaxed and huffed a laugh. "Hello, amore." Copia muttered, he knew you were there.

You stared at him in shock before chuckling to yourself and resting your head on his shoulder again. "Hey, handsome."

"Screw them! We're your real friends anyway."

Ghouls & Teen!Reader

Genre: SFW, fluff, hurt/comfort

Characters: Aether, Sodo, Rain, Swiss, Mountain, Phantom, Cirrus, Cumulus, Sunshine, Aurora, Copia, and Sister Imperator

Summary: Reader's childhood friends becoming distant and clearly ignoring Reader but the Ghouls swoop in and help them.

Warnings: Author HEAVILY self-projecting in this fic, asshole "friends", mentions of very very small angst (like seriously have to squint to see it), Sodo not understanding human emotions/reasons, some ghouls having no filter, poorly translated Latin and Italian, Reader is GN, Ghouls are not human.

If anyone were to ask you how you ended up in the Ministry, you wouldn't have an answer. You were too young to know what happened to your biological parents or if they gave you away because you only really have memories of the Ministry. That being said, you had a few friends from before that you still wanted to keep close with regardless of anything. The Ministry allowed you to visit on the weekends, resulting in you staying the night at one of their houses.

Years went by and now you're 15, your friends being roughly the same age as you (either a year younger or a year older). They were not mostly occupied with teenage stuff, dating, partying, stuff you weren't as into. You had joined them a few times when they wanted to go to parties but never felt comfortable with the alcohol or smoking and you often called Copia to come and pick you up early since he was the emergency contact.

It wasn't that you didn't like partying but the poor alcohol choices (mostly beer) and all the people trying to hit on you and get you in their beds was uncomfortable. You also felt it wasn't right since they were drunk and were obviously doing something they wouldn't have done sober, so you felt it was almost non-consentual. You never told Copia, or anyone for that matter, about leaving early since you felt embarrassed and wasn't ready for any kinds of conversations about those things.

But this last trip did something to you. Sister Imperator opened the door after the doorbell rang only for you to speed past her without saying a word. She had no idea what that was all about and felt a little worried but figured that if it was something to fully worry about that you'd tell someone, assumably the ghouls. You went immediately to your room and had a rage fit, your poor bedroom turning into a rage room and you broke anything that had any connection to your outside life. You tore up pictures, clothes, smashed objects, and if they didn't break, you chucked it in the trash.

Eventually once you couldn't break anything anymore, you grabbed your pillow and began screaming into it. Not high pitched, but gutteral and full of hatred. After a minute passed, you grew tired and eventually just decided to go to bed. That was when the sadness crept up and you ended up crying yourself to sleep, too afraid you'd accidentally lash out at anyone should you leave your room.

The next morning you woke up and your throat was sore from the screaming, you were just thankful you didn't have anywhere to be since today was kind of everybody's day off. You didn't want to leave your room but you were also growing hungry and needed something to drink. Eventually you huffed a sigh and left your room to get breakfast, despite it being a day off, there was always still breakfast, lunch, and supper made throughout the day.

You tried to avoid Copia and the Ghouls but they did eventually spot you when you grabbed what you wanted and quickly went back to your room, thankful you were allowed to either eat in the cafeteria-like room or your bedroom. You didn't notice them trying to get your attention, Sunshine even tried to follow you to ask if you were doing okay.

It was then that Sister Imperator informed them about when you got back home last night, how fast you ran to your room without any words spoken. This caused all of them to grow worried but decided to let you talk about it when you were ready, a lesson they accidentally learned the hard way. You were always one to show exactly how you were feeling, so when you went through your first break up and Rain asked you what was wrong and you snapped at him, they all learned to not push you to talk about how you're feeling unless they wanna talk to Lucifer himself.

It took a couple days of radio silence from you, they saw you out and about but you didn't even really look at anything for more than a couple seconds and left your earbuds in, so even if anyone went up to you and said anything, you didn't hear it. Mountain even tried to sneak his way to you and say "Hi" to you but you literally didn't notice him and he eventually just left you alone and shrugged at Rain as a response. Copia even tried to include you in mass but you never held eye contact for longer than a second, Sister Imperator tried to get you to do confessions but nothing.

Eventually, the ghouls saw you enter the ghouls den, you had your head hung and was staring at the ground.

"(Y/N)? You okay, puella?" Swiss asked, breaking the deafening silence that covered the room upon your appearance.

You glanced up at him before scanning the room, you eventually sighed and shrugged. Cirrus was by your side relatively fast, all of them sensing the weird feeling you were feeling. Cirrus helped you to sit on one of the couches in the living area, shooing Sodo to scooch over a little so you could sit.

"What's on your mind, parvulus?" Cirrus asked, gently rubbing her hand up and down your arm.

You sighed again as you glanced around again, everyone staring at you. They all knew you were going through so many thoughts and emotions they could practically hear them all but they were all so fast and scattered that it was hard to pinpoint anything.

"It's just... I... I thought I could handle it." You muttered, staring at your hands as they fidgeting with each other.

"Handle what?" Rain asked, subtling reminding you that they weren't with you when the issue arose.

"When I left to go see my friend... they wanted to go to a party. I got talked into going and I also got talked into drinking too much. I didn't think anything was gonna go wrong but then I passed out and woke up in the yard of the same house. My head hurt but I was fine other than that but... what made it worse was that none of my friends knew about it nor did they seem to care. I tried to find my way back to one of their houses but a nice lady found me instead and took care of me until I was able to get an Uber back here. They still haven't talked to me." You explained, almost zoning out a few times.

You knew it wasn't an end of the world situation but you're trust was broken between people you knew your whole life, none of them cared and even in the few days you were silent to everyone, none of them called or texted you to make sure you were okay.

All the ghouls seemed to glance around at each other and sigh, feeling the hurt for you. First hangovers suck in general but it didn't seem to them like you had fun before getting drunk and then clearly didn't get the help you needed in recovering.

"What assholes." Sodo muttered, causing Cirrus to bump him with her elbow while also getting a glare.

"You shouldn't have gone through that. We all know it wasn't a life threatening or life altering thing but you still shouldn't have experienced that. Your friends should've been there with you, not being jerks, or at least check up on you." Cumulus said, her emotions clearly showing pity for you.

"Mel, if that's how they're going to treat you, then they aren't worth your time or patience. They clearly don't seem to care about your well-being enough to be your actual friends." Phantom explained, causing you to nod.

It was then that your phone buzzed, you didn't know if you wanted to look. You pulled your phone out of your pocket and checked your notifications, seeing you got a message from one of your friends. You sighed before looking around at them.

"They just texted me, what do I do?" You asked, not sure you want to open it.

"You should at least open it to see what they said." Aether said, giving you a reassuring smile.

You sighed before opening it and reading it, you paused and glanced around before reading it out loud.

"Hey, that party was really fun, glad to see that there was a different side to you. I ended up leaving with someone that night and I'm assuming you went to someone else's house or went back to your house." You read, your voice wavering a bit.

You could tell the rest of them felt anger and sadness for you, the selfishness on that kid... Most of their jaws clenched and many shook their heads, you swear you even heard Sodo growl.

"Mel, people like them aren't your friends, I wouldn't waste tears or feelings for them." Aurora comforted, taking the empty seat on the other side of you.

"I know, it just hurts a little." You admitted, trying to give a smile to Aurora.

"You know what I think?" Swiss asked, waiting for permission to continue from you. "Screw them! We're your real friends anyway."

You smiled, finding Swiss' honestly funny and comforting. The others all scoffed a little at his bluntness but all knew he was right, when all else failed, they always had your back. You stayed around them for the rest of the day and even slept in the den, Copia found you buried in a ghoul cuddle pile completely asleep later that night. The purring that came from every ghoul sounded like a motor or engine running, Rain woke up a little at the sudden light and looked up at Copia, smiling a little before falling back to sleep.

It had been a few weeks since you stopped talking to these "friends" of yours, deciding to give them a taste of their own medicine until they either came back crawling to you or until they forgot about you completely. Copia was now taking both of you out into nearby towns and cities on the weekends as a replacement, he didn't want you to feel like you were trapped in the Ministry and you only agreed on going if he came with you so he could take a break from working.

This was becoming a normal thing now, and it was also a nice way for the two of you to bond since Copia was kind of the only father figure you had other than Aether or Mountain. The days out weren't big or extravagant but it was nice, mostly just going to new places Copia hadn't been to and checking the place out. However, you'll never forget the embarrassed look he had on his face when he wondered a little too far back into a Spencer's gift shop.

Today there was something going on in the downtown area, a street dance of some sort. You dragged Copia with you despite him saying he wasn't sure about it but he eventually loosened up a little, that was until he notices a shift in your mood and behavior. You toned down your excitement and ended up almost glued to Copia, this confused him and he immediately started looking around to see if anyone was making you feel this way. Then he was it.

When he was Cardinal, he was your emergency contact should you need someone to call while away from the Ministry. You rarely called him but he still memorized faces, names, addresses, etc. He never wanted to be under prepared should you be in danger while gone, so when he looked around a bit and saw your "friends," he understood why your mood shifted.

"Cara, if you want to leave, we can." Copia told you, he had to speak a little louder than he wanted to because of the crowd and music.

"Yeah, but I wanna do one more thing before we go." You replied, deciding to keep what you had in mind to yourself.

Copia nodded and waited for you towards the entrance, that was when you went up to your "friends," grabbed their drinks and poured it on their heads. You knew it wasn't a major thing but it still felt satisfying to see the look on their faces before you turned around and left without a word. You never told Copia what you did and he never asked, knowing that whatever it was could be justified.

Late Night Cuddles

Terzo x Male!Reader

Summary: Reader comes home after a rough day in the Ministry and wants nothing more than to sleep and cuddle with his beloved, Terzo, but he isn't anywhere to be seen for a while.

Genre: Fluff

Warnings: SFW, gets a little suggestive but nothing happens, just some Terzo fluff because I'm a whore for him.

A/N: I wrote this while I was very tired and when I get very tired, I want cuddles, and I've recently been wanting cuddles from him specifically (even though I know I'm way taller than his gremlin ass).

Word count: Uh... Idk

After a whole day of being bossed around and bossing others around to the point where you thought strangling them was a better option, you finally were able to go to your living quarters and relax. You were hoping your boyfriend, Terzo, was there already and was waiting for you but upon opening the door and finding it eerily quiet, you knew he wasn't there.

You let out an irritated sigh before getting ready for bed, doing whatever made you feel better before turning off all the lights. While you were taking a shower, Terzo finally arrived and was slightly worried you weren't there until he heard the shower running. He had the funny idea to join you but knew you wouldn't find it very funny considering how late it was.

Instead, Terzo snuck into the bathroom as quietly as he could and removed the face paint he wore every day as Papa without you noticing. After that, he retreated to the bedroom where he decided to get ready before you but made sure to not fall asleep until he was in your arms.

Turning off the shower and wiping down what water was left, you put on the only two articles of clothing you brought in with you; boxer briefs and a baggy shirt. You admittedly almost fell asleep a few times in the shower but you wouldn't tell Terzo that because then he'd demand that if you showered when you were sleepy then you'd sit in a shower chair.

You left the bathroom and wasn't expecting someone to already be in your bed, Terzo was sitting in the bed already and was clearly waiting for you. His attention was mostly on his phone and it looked like he was looking over texts and emails. He looked up and saw you and smiled.

"Rough day?" Terzo asked, seeing how your eyes were half lidded.

"You tell me..." You huffed a laugh, crawling into the bed next to him.

You eagerly wrapped your arms around him once you got close enough, causing him to laugh as he turned his phone off and set it down.

"If I didn't know any better, amore, I'd think you're wanting something." Terzo joked, sinking at you.

"Even if that's true, I wouldn't last a minute before falling asleep." You muttered, the comfort of the bed basically suffocating you.

Terzo chuckled, draping the covers over you since you seemed too tired to do so. You sighed at how warm the blankets were and snuggled closer to Terzo, who finally laid all the way down and also wrapped his arms around you. He kissed the top of your head as he brought you closer, if it was even possible.

"Ti amo, cara." Terzo whispered, moving some of your hair out of your face.

"I love you too, Terzo." You whispered back, falling asleep almost immediately after.

Terzo chuckled lightly as you fell asleep, finding a very tired you to be oh-so adorable. He let himself daydream about a whole life and future with you before he himself fell asleep as well, holding you tight to him.

Papas and Pets

Papas I, II, III, IV

Summary: The types of pets the Papas would have and what kind of "animal dad" they'd be. (I was writing this while my cat was napping on me, he's very sweet 🥹)

Genres: Headcanons and fluff.

Warnings: Nothing other than tooth rotting fluff, all gifs are not mine

Primo

Bird dad.

It's pretty simple logic, he's out in the gardens a lot more after retiring from being Papa and where do you constantly see birds? In gardens.

He's also fond of animals that aren't quite domesticated like opossums or raccoons but absolutely adores birds.

Any bird works for him but he has a particular fondness of owls, he has one in his room that's allowed to fly around freely most of the time.

That same owl can be seen wherever he's allowed to take it, whether it be on his shoulder or flying around him in a room.

He prides himself in being able to tame wild birds since it seems he's the only one in the Ministry that can, he calls himself the bird whisperer.

He's also the one you go to if a bird accidentally flew into one of the rooms in the Ministry because he'll wait until the bird lands near him then picks it up like it's just a rock or something and bring it outside.

For those cultured out there, you know that scene in Shrek 2 where Snow White sends those birds to attack those tree guard dudes? If he had to, Primo would probably be able to do it too.

Secondo

Snake dad.

I feel like he's also kinda snake coded, the vast majority of people are afraid of him because he looks scary but then there's the few that love him to death (me) and see he's just a silly man.

He's known for scaring anyone that openly talks shit about him with one of his pet snakes, so most people keep their opinions on him in private.

The first snake he had was when he was younger and Primo freaked out a little after a snake hissed at him and Secondo just picked it up was like "I'm keeping him and his name will be Tommy."

And since then he's always had at least one pet snake around, he started naming them after fictional characters that were often associated with snakes, including naming one of them Slytherin.

He can and will make the "May I take your jacket, sir/ma'am?" joke when one of his snakes sheds their skin.

Let's his snake mostly free roam his room when he's in the room as well so if he thinks they might get stuck or hurt, he's there to prevent it from happening.

Terzo

Cat dad.

This man LOVES cats, and he will openly cry if he sees anything where a cat is hurt or in danger even if it's fictional.

His favorite are black cats, mostly because he's sad they aren't shown enough love and because they seem to be the nicest cats.

He's also tried finding almost completely wild cats to adopt because he finds them absolutely beautiful.

Both Sister Imperator and Nihil have found him walking relatively fast in the Ministry's hallways late at night holding his jacket closed and stopped to ask him what he was doing and every time, without fail, the cat he was trying to hide meowed.

If he wasn't living in the Ministry, he'd be the crazy cat lady down the road that would even feed the stray cats his house couldn't hold.

COVERED in cat hair and cat scratches/bites all the time, it's impossible for him to get rid of them.

He's the "I found this cat malnourished in a garbage dumpster and I brought him here and he's my baby now" cat dad.

Copia

Well, we can all guess what animal dad he is; Rat dad.

He used to be afraid of them but then he became fascinated with them and the rest is history.

Most people don't know about his pet rats so when they visit him in his office or room they get startled by them and maybe scream as Copia is just sitting at his desk/on his bed like "No! No! It's okay! It's okay!"

Similar to Terzo, he smuggled rats and would get caught by Sister Imperator every time.

Definitely gives his rats weird names like "Ratty Fatty" or some shit like that.

Also makes his rats fly when he wants to, but most of the time his rats will be napping somewhere on him.

Refers to his rats as his kids so when new Siblings of Sin join, they think he means actually children until they meet his rats.

Baby talks to his rats 24/7, and teaches his rats tricks when he's bored.

No More Hurt

Copia & GN!Child!Reader

Characters: Copia, Sister Imperator, Terzo, Secondo, Primo, and Nihil

Warnings: Mentions of abuse

Info: All four of Nihil's sons (including Nihil) are alive

Word count: 1,046-ish

You sat in a quiet room of a building, the building was large and looked beautiful but you didn't know any of these people but you already trusted them more than you did your parents. You were a little scared but no one seemed threatening and even a little scared, they looked like nuns and priests but something wasn't quite right, you couldn't place it but they weren't the typical nun or priest.

The sound of a small knock scared you a little as the door opened and in came a woman and five different looking men, three of them looked to be around fifty years old and older than the other two. All of them were first confused, maybe even looked a little angry until they saw you and their eyes went soft.

"Is this them?" The woman asked a nun that came in.

"Yes, we found them crying outside the gates." The nun said, that being clearly backed up because of the towel draped around you.

"Thank you, I think we can handle this." The woman said, gently escorting the nun out of the room.

The first person to get any closer to you was a man with brown hair, he looked incredibly concerned. You flinched a little away from him when you realized how close he was, he seemed to notice and slowed his movements a bit.

"Sweetie? What's your name?" The man asked, his voice was soft but also had an accent.

"(Y/N)..." You replied, your voice shaky.

"It's nice to meet you, (Y/N). My name is Copia." Copia pointed at a man with raven black hair. "That man's name is Terzo," then to a tall man with sunglasses on. "His name is Secondo," then to a man with pointed ears. "His name is Primo," then to the eldest man of the room. "His name's Nihil," then to the woman. "Her name is Sister Imperator."

"(Y/N), can you tell us why you were in front of the gate?" Terzo asked, wanting more information.

"I... uh..." You stuttered, you knew you had to tell them why eventually but you didn't want to cry in front of them.

"It's okay, you're safe here." Primo comforted, sending a genuine smile your way.

You tried to smile back but knew it probably didn't look as nice as his. "I ran away from home..." You simply said, hoping you wouldn't have to explain anymore.

"How come?" Secondo asked, his voice sounded the most intimidating.

"My mom... she, uh... She hit me, a lot. My dad didn't help me, and I got hurt. She got mad at me yesterday and she told me to leave and never come back... so I've been running for a while." You explained, trying to not cry.

They all kept looking around at each other while you talked, the look on their faces clearly said enough to make you feel a little concerned.

"(Y/N), how long was this going on?" Imperator asked, her voice full of concern and worry.

"I don't remember, it's always been like that." You said, they all fell silent again. "You're not... you're not going to hurt me like she did, right?"

"No. We won't let anyone hurt you like that again." Copia said, his tone was a little stern but not loud.

"And we're also not sending you back and if she turns up, we'll tell her that you're not here." Terzo added, it seemed that Copia and Terzo were more vocal in protecting you.

"Do we know where they're going to stay? We don't have any rooms available unless they share one with someone." Nihil asked, a good question that got answered rather quick.

"They can stay with me for tonight or until we figure something out." Copia said, seeming to already grow a fondness over you.

"Alright, well, since it's already late in the night, I suggest we continue discussing this tomorrow." Imperator said, noticing the tired look on your face.

A few minutes passed before Copia told you that you needed to follow him, you left the room together and you finally got to take a look at how beautiful the building was. You must have been showing your admiration on your face because Copia chuckled a little when he looked at you.

"You look like you just stepped into a castle." Copia chuckled, finding it rather cute.

"You all live here?" You asked, surprised at how big it was.

"Yep, including some others." Copia added, it was just then he remembered the ghouls...

"Can I live here too?" You asked, your mind must have forgotten completely about your past as you were full of excitement.

"I'm pretty sure we can make that happen." Copia said, smiling down at you.

Along the way, you mentioned you were a little hungry. Copia changed his course of direction and started leading you to the kitchen and dining area, knowing there's bound to be snacks in there somewhere. You sat on the counter (Copia put you up there) and watched the man dig through a pantry.

"Uh, all I can find were these." Copia held out a bag of Goldfish, you gladly took it.

You and Copia stayed in the kitchen until you finished the snack, but while Copia was cleaning up the tiny mess, you had fallen asleep. Copia smiled before gently picking you up and carrying you to his room, the Clergy was completely silent now so he didn't worry about anyone waking you.

The walk back to his room wasn't long and was somewhat peaceful. Once Copia was in his room, he quickly made a spot for you on his bed before putting on some soft background music, an instrumental version of his favorite musical, The Phantom of the Opera.

You were still sound asleep as Copia tucked you in, he carefully placed his hand on your shoulder, gently caressing his thumb. "I promise I won't let anyone hurt you ever again." Copia whispered, in his mind, he now had the responsibility of raising and protecting you.

Copia shifted over a little and fell asleep shortly after, he hoped that the Clergy would let him adopt you in the near future since it was pretty clear your biological parents should be locked up for what they did.
