GIVE US TO HIM
Geralt z Rivii | Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier | Dandelion
Warning: this might hurt a little
on ao3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/34157128
Grandma said once that to give away your raw score is forbidden.
"Your heart in it's full rawness, chaos, is a precious and dangerous thing. Never you should do something as giving it to someone else."
"But our ancestors used to do it. Look ma ¡look!" said Jaskier holding his story book on the air for grandma's tired eyes to see. A handsome knight was lying on the dry grass, dying from a wound on his stomach. He started calling for his love, an ancient fae with blond hair and fair skin. She fell upon the prairie from the charged clouds, with something shiny between her hands. The fae feed the wound with her raw core, her heart. The knight lived along side her, flying amongst the starry night, happily ever after. "This are just stories, Julian" said Grandma with contened anger in her dry voice. She took the book and close it on her thighs "Things were rarely like that. Knights and kings are more inclined to use our cores against us and other people. We can't recover from that loss" Julian look at the drawing on the coverbook, the fae was kneeled by a pond and the knight stood glorious in practically all the cover, leaving a very small space for the real hero, the one who save the life of the protagonist.
"Never give your raw core away. Stop reading these, THEY wrote this, Julian, you must be clever than her" said Grandma pointing at the beautiful fae. Julian nod, undesrtanding much more that he wanted to, and so little, so so little. Maybe that was the reason his family were hiding, they never express it in a literal way, that was the point really, but Julian notice anyway. The way, for example, of how they said their names and the rust taste that was left on the air after. It was common to hide their real names for fae, but you'd give that name knowing it's false, on the opposite when you say the false name thinking is the real one then another fae would know. Losing the self was something of a disease between the fae. Jaskier later knew that his parents have not choice but to lose themselves to save the lineage. Most fae really. Humans did that. Like they did to the elfes. Julian promise to never forget about the fae from his last storybook. He'll never forget about her sacrifice and the sacrifice of his people. But come on, after some years it was just naturally that, despite the wound on the history, a selfish creature he was and he forgot. He was raised as human, and he wanted to be a bard oh how he want it. And he did accomplish that, and a bloody good one that's for sure. Fae were extinct for all the world and that wasn't a cover, they're doomed to extinction sooner or later. It has been years since the last time Jaskier felt another fae being born. He is Jaskier troubadour, master of the seven liberal arts a mastermind amongst the crowds, a legend…an idiot most of the time basically.
What grandma failed to mention is that for a fae to be able to give their core away the recipient must be worthy at the eyes of the fae. Once this worthiness makes evident, that person would plant roots in the core itself, whether the fae want it or not. It's inevitable. Grandma should have said "be aware of where you place your heart. Hold it until you're fully sure of them" But well, it wouldn't have matter in the end. Jaskier have never being someone who follows advice, much less from his dead relative. It happened naturally, like breathing, eating and shitting. One moment he was standing next to Geralt under a pouring rain, the witcher kept looking for a missing girl on the edges of the woods, her parents place a bounty on the towns board, they couldn't offer payment in form of crowns but they're willing to let them sleep on the girl’s room. Jaskier became indignant, how a witcher is supposed to take a payless bounty? No, that is unacceptable. But despite the protesting bard and zero reward whatsoever Geralt went anyway, he look for a girl who surelly was already dead.
"I found her body near the cave by the pond. You can go for her by morning when it's safe. I'm sorry" after a minute of silence the parents with equal expression of cold sorrow release a heavy sigh charged with so much grief.
"What did it?" asked the father
"Nekkers. I got rid of the pack living there"
"Thank you, witcher. You and your bard can come in, i'm sure you're exhausted” Said the mother with great effort, like someone who can't breathe quite well.
Geralt rapidly added "No, I'm sure you and your husband need time to resign and mourn alone. My bard and i already had another place to stay" Eh, no they didn't.
"But...we don't have any crowns"
"I didn't do this for payment" And while the parents thanked infinitely to Geralt, Jaskier felt something wild and untamed surging from his chest. Reaching unabashed for the witcher with a big golden heart standing next to him, explaining to a mourning parents that he went to search for their lost daughter because he wanted to help. This new awareness of chaos, he knew what it was.
Chaos, core, raw.
And it had marked Geralt as his. We want him.
Give us to him. He's worthy.
He was doomed, so doomed from the very beginning since they encounter each other on Posada. Grandma tried to warn him of this. Oh grandma, you and i both know that I was never obedient or wise. So Jaskier let it happen, four years after knowing the witcher and his raw core already belong to him. But he didn't do it. He hold back despite the urgency on his chest because he wasn't sure it'll be welcome. Geralt was still trying to get rid of him in every town, sometimes Jaskier felt like a pet you don't want but you can't abandon it either. Surely there'd be a time in the future. And Jaskier wait and fell in love deeply with each passing year. And Geralt...well he was the same and also different in his own way, more at ease around him, softer maybe. Jaskier didn't need to be call a friend to felt like one to Geralt. They're friends, even if one part has being in denial for the past decade.
And then the djinn happened follow by the complicated affair with one Yennefer of Vandenberg. The curse caused the core to retreat afraid and wounded. He hurt us, he wished to hurt us. Jaskier argued with the voice that it wasn't his intention, he didn't even know he was the one with the wishes. In truth his heart shattered not for the wish but for the easiness in which the sorceress become someone important to Geralt, something to hold on to even if drowning. One decade and still Jaskier thinks he haven't reached that relationship level with his friend.
He doesn't want us
No.
"Uhmm?"
"What?"
"You said no"
"Oh, it's nothing" Geralt didn't ask again
But weak and in love he was, the raw core and him reached out again, with fully open arms for Geralt to pull. Jaskier long to belong to him, oh how he did.
Yennefer and her shining imbecile knight join the hunt and he was jealous because as soon as she appear the witcher was drooling as if she was all he needed to shut down the darkness inside.
Don't you know? inside me there's a full light waiting for you to hold
At the softness of the afternoon Jaskier found Geralt sitting on a rock lost, as usual, in though. But this time were different, he had failed three people, Borch's dead has left a wound that surely would scar badly. And the bard felt a deep sadness for his golden heart witcher. He's definitely blaming himself for the fall, for that narrow and insecure path alongside the mountain as if he was the one to build it.
Jaskier asked him to come with him to his home, to the coast, he yearn to be there with him and feel the sea wind on their faces while walking by a cliff near a quiet village that Geralt wouldn't mind to visit.
We want to be his.
Give us to him.
We can love him better.
But Geralt didn't want him, he wanted Yennefer.
He give himself to him anyway.
"Here" said Jaskier putting a hand on Geralt's thigh, surprise, instead of flinching away Geralt held Jaskier's hand and with most carefulness took what was inside the palm. A small glass vial, similar to the ones where he pours his potions. He held it on his gloved open hand. There was something inside, warm and inviting. White, almost yellow that make Geralt felt calm and safe.
"What's this?"
"A gift. It'd take care of you" Geralt frown at him, confused and uncertain of what it meant, but he took it with a barely there smile only for Jaskier to see.
He's a coward, he couldn't confessed him the reality of what it meant because he was terrified of being rejected, grandma said that a rejection is so devastating that it might kill him. And even at this point in their friendship Jaskier couldn't know for sure.
It's me. Take me, i'll protect and save you if needed to. Have me, please have me.
Geralt went that night at Yennefer's tent and Jaskier felt glad for not having told him the truth
"If life could give me a blessing it would be to take you off my hands"
No, no, not now.
They're doing fine.
And then very fast very suddenly Geralt reached for his breast pocket to held the vial of raw core on his fist and toss it unceremoniously to the hard soild.
The noise of shattered glass invaded Jaskier's ears before the heavy blankness surged from his chest to every corner of him.
“No, no, no” said he, giving a fumbling step towards the vial but deciding to turn around instead.
Away away away away.
He can't see me like this.
Something was tearing in fine lines caused by the trembling, an earthquake from his very bones that were fighting on maintaining their solid formation. Something inside was bawling with such and intensity that make his ears bleed.
Was this dying? let it be death for he can no longer take it. Does breathing always hurt this much? like if his lungs were filled with wool and the air only add heaviness on them. What was this? a beating heart, so afraid so betrayed, like a laugh from his ancestors. He wanted to throw up his intestines, they're on fire, but when he tried only saliva flood. He was not himself anymore, and to become whole was an impossibility that the pain was making sure off. Dirt get inside his mouth, his cheek on the ground was getting cut by rocks. A voice calling for him to react, to say something. But he no longer have a voice, he was death itself preparing for a long dream.
I’m sorry grandma.
I'm sorry, said to himself
and he remembered the blond fae on the cover book between grandma's hands, of how she give her life to save her love one, but who'd give their life for her?
who'd give their life for him?
He needed to sleep, right here on the mountain ground, to become whole again or at least half whole.
He begged for death instead.

Knight & Day: MoriHaru
Please I had so much fun with this one T_T Haruhi and Kyoya's friendship is so pure. I love them T_T also, they make fun of Tamaki.
-
Summary: When Sir Takashi goes off to war, Princess Haruhi must wrestle with her feelings and the fate of her kingdom.
-
Takashi Morinozuka x Haruhi Fujioka; Kyoya Ootori x Renge Houshakuji
Genre: Fantasy AU, fluff, angst
Warnings: None
-
Normally, running her fingers over the velvet strips in her dress calmed her. She was a very physical person, often anchoring herself through touch whenever the world got too heavy--whenever the pressures of being a royal bore too heavily on her shoulders, or her father was too much. Being a Princess required so much energy that she often couldn’t give, not without something or someone to ground her.
And now, she watched that someone march off into battle.
The wind was harsh as it wove through the castle parapets. She stood like stone, tears frozen in her eyes, fingers abnormally still. The velvet strips wound up her arms, ready to be stroked while pondering, but the only comfort she wanted had just swung onto a horse and left her.
The sky loomed dark. The clouds jumbled together like mismatched puzzle pieces, like even the Heavens couldn’t place why the lovers were being separated. Dark gray and blue and black and white. Shattered, cut lines.
The Princess smiled, shook her head to no one. She missed him already, her favorite knight, the captain of the guard. She knew it was his duty to one day die for her, as his family had done for the kings and queens of the ages, but she prayed that morning and every other that he would return to her arms safe and sound. If her tears were collected, they would rival the moat surrounding the castle; if her prayers were songs, she would be singing for eternity.
“Your Majesty.”
Haruhi turned into the wind, meeting eyes with her advisor. He was cloaked, the stiff gray fabric protecting him from the rain. It made her realize only then it was raining, and she was soaked.
Some Princess she was, dripping wet, indignantly crying in the rain over a simple knight.
When had she started crying?
“Kyoya, what is it?” she asked, running the back of her hand across her cheeks. It made little difference in the rain, only smearing the paste and lining her chambermaids had applied. The only one she cared to see it was trudging off to the mountains.
Her advisor stepped forward and extended his arm, revealing a deep purple cloak. “Please come inside. It is cold and wet; you will catch your death out here.”
She sighed and turned back around. Leaning against the parapet walls, fingers scrunched into the slimy stone, she bent to spot the caravan of soldiers still parading without decorum. It was a wretched decision to send them off in the rain. Mud had surely already stained their uniforms, and their armor would rust. But her father the King would hear no different; when the Queen of Lobelia made such a vile comment concerning the Crown Princess, Ryoji would not wait till morning to send his army off in contempt.
“Just a few more minutes,” she replied. “Just until they’re out of sight.”
Kyoya heaved an anxious breath, but he waited. He teetered on his feet. She had not changed much since childhood, headstrong and stubborn, but also intensely brave and compassionate. When he knew her then, he thought her petulant; now he knew her to be thoughtful. Sensitivity was a bad quality in a future Queen, but she wore it as well as the tiara atop her curls.
“My lady, the parapet is high and the land is flat,” he said. “They will not be out of sight for hours still.”
Haruhi sneezed, and he chuckled. Normally he would never dare, but they had grown up together, and he had seen her in much worse condition than this. She shot him a glare, but it was dampened by the softness in the edges of her eyes.
She motioned him closer, and, as cold as he was, he obeyed. “I feel that if I were to take my eyes from him,” she said, “I would be abandoning him.”
Kyoya nodded, perceiving the deep grief in her words. “And no Princess would abandon her knights.”
“Certainly not.”
“But you don’t care about the rest of them.”
She whirled around, ready to reprimand him for his audacity, but stopped short at his raised eyebrows. He had always toed the line of insubordination with her, but she felt herself grateful for it. It kept her head from getting too big for the crown.
“Of course I do Kyoya, what an insensitive thing to say,” she murmured anyways. She turned back to the wall and bent, supporting herself on her forearms. Her eyes searched the disappearing party until they landed on the tall captain in the front, rocking in his saddle atop his black stallion. The rain pelted his armor, but he sat up rigidly, setting the example for his men. The entire kingdom rode on his shoulders, and he carried it magnificently.
Kyoya looked at her for a moment, deeply, before following her gaze to the head knight. As far away as they were, he noticed the man’s commanding presence. It seemed to radiate off him in waves, a shield against the rain.
He looked so natural with a sword and horse, rocking in his saddle like it was a cradle. To him, it was; he was a Morinozuka, and they were a warrior breed.
“But none of them make you feel the way Sir Takashi does,” he whispered. “None of them make your heart stir in your chest, or fill your head with honey, or make your eyes glassy with just a glance and a smile.”
“How do you--”
“You aren’t subtle,” he responded, adding a last minute, “Your Majesty.”
Haruhi pursed her lips. It wasn’t becoming of a Princess to pout, but alone with Kyoya, she felt no need to keep up appearances. Out here on this parapet, in the rain, with her heart riding west, she could take off the tiara and he could drop the titles. Out here, they were friends.
Her mind flashed back to Sir Takashi. Their little rendez-vous around the castle, how he left her breathless in the morning gardens, how the sun tanned his calloused skin as he worked in the training yard. The way he tasted of cranberries and buttered bread, so simple, yet so divine. Their visits were always innocent; never moving beyond gentle kisses and longing touches against waists and cheeks. Though she craved the young captain, wanted him so deliriously, it was he who asked for her patience--she was the Princess of this land, and he was but a knight unworthy of sullying her skin. Her heart burned with the thought of his gray eyes soaking into hers in the dusty, mid-afternoon light of the library, the moment she realized she loved him, the moment that he said it back.
She gasped. “Does my father know of this?”
“No, Princess,” Kyoya soothed. “He knows only of Sir Takashi’s great devotion to you and this kingdom. As a good knight should.”
Haruhi nodded. The King was a good ruler, but in matters of his own family, he was quite clueless. Truly, since the Queen died, Haruhi had been running half the castle by herself. It left little time for connection or romance, but somehow the knight had managed to snatch her heart for himself.
The anguish of absence was great. When he was told of this mission the night prior, Takashi had snuck to their secret spot in the northern gardens, sending word for her to meet him. There, they wept beneath the gardenias, enraptured in the other’s arms, their only solace the same thing breaking their hearts in two. Takashi, with a kiss to both cheeks, had insisted that he would die to protect her honor from the vicious Queen Benio, while Haruhi whispered against his chest that she didn’t care about flimsy words, as long as he came back to her. He swore against the stars and the moon that he would, sealing his vow with a kiss.
He only asked for a token of her affection, one small reminder of what he was fighting for, and she withdrew her handkerchief from her gown and pressed it to his hands. That night, after he escorted her back to her quarters, he laid in bed and inhaled the cherry blossom perfume until it lulled him to sleep, wondering what it would be like to hold the beautiful Princess as they rested, instead.
Just then, Takashi turned from the front of the pack. His handsome head twisted back to look at the castle, and though he was too far away to pinpoint his gaze, Haruhi knew he was staring at her. He dug something from beneath his shirt and lifted it to his lips--he pressed a kiss to the ring she had given him, hung by a chain around his neck, before riding onward.
She felt that very kiss against her own lips as they parted and gasped. She weakly waved in response.
Her sullen worries must have manifested on her face, because Kyoya cleared his throat. “You needn’t worry,” he nudged. “He is of Morinozuka blood. He will return victorious.”
Haruhi nodded, but it offered little comfort. The Morinozuka family had served the kingdom for centuries, dying for causes even less petty than this. They were a warrior breed, trained from birth in war tactics and strategies, how to kill and be quick about it. She knew not all the works his hands had wrought, and he had no mind to ever tell her, but even as great of a soldier as he was, he would never become king. He was destined to serve, to protect, to die. That was the Morinozuka way.
“And yet I pray for him,” she admitted. Kyoya’s eyes were gentle on her, compassionate, understanding. “I meet with Umehito in the chapel every morning and I pray for him.”
Her tears fell faster, and Kyoya moved forward, spreading the spare cloak against her shoulders. She curled into the warmth, only realizing now she was utterly soaked.
Her voice shook the castle. “What if it doesn’t matter?”
Kyoya gently hugged her, and she found comfort in the familiarity of a friend. Fear coursed through him--he could have his hands chopped off for touching the Princess--but he was her personal advisor, not to mention her best friend since childhood, there to help her on issues large and small.
“Shhh, Your Majesty,” he cooed, “the gods listen to the prayers of a sincere heart. He will return safely, if not by his own volition, then by Heaven’s intervention.”
His wisdom and reassurance filled her heart, corking the hole from where her sadness leaked. Their priest, Umheito, had said the same, but it sounded more comforting from the lips of a friend. Against his chest, she watched the caravan curve behind a hill, her beloved at last out of sight. She let out another choked cry, and Kyoya clutched her tighter, swallowing.
“I love him,” she whispered, and Kyoya hummed. His hands stopped soothing her back, and she leaned away. “I love him, and--well, I suppose it is hardly subtle. You are right, again.”
“I usually am,” he replied with a smirk.
“But you have no room to talk about subtlety, with the way you’ve been spending time with my maid.”
Kyoya narrowed his eyes. Haruhi was sure he would have blushed crimson, but he pulled his cloak further over his head, cutting off his face, and turned away. “It seems it has less to do with me being subtle and more to do with Renge not keeping her mouth shut.”
Haruhi laughed, and something in Kyoya’s brain lit up. Her mind was distracted; she no longer cried. He had done his job.
“Now, Kyoya, you know you can tell me anything.”
He smirked at the teasing tone, lowering his hood to face her again. “Seems that Renge is doing that already, Princess.”
“What, can I not have a double perception?”
“No.”
He took long strides back to the palace, trusting that she would follow, and she did. Her skirts dipped as she stepped in time with him. “Your Majesty,” he said, clearing his throat, signaling talk of business, “you have matters to attend to.”
Haruhi was silent, thinking through her day, and then sighed loud enough to spook a pigeon in the rafters. “Oh. Yes. I must finally answer Prince Tamaki. He will not stop harassing our poor mail carriers.”
“It would be best.”
“He is so bothersome,” Haruhi complained. “Fine. I will answer his letter, but then after that clear my schedule. He is so exhausting to deal with, even through paper.” She paused, sucked in her bottom lip between her teeth. “Can Renge do it? She is much better at sweet talk than I am.” She glanced at her blushing adviser. “Clearly.”
Kyoya released a small chuckle, catching half-way in his throat, but out before he could stop it. “She is very talented in that regard,” he said, “but our writing lessons are still progressing. There is more I need to teach her before that.”
“Hmph.”
Kyoya chuckled, opening a door. “What, my lady, do you not fancy your fiance?”
“Alleged fiance,” she hissed. She suddenly missed Takashi’s quiet, stoic, easygoing nature. “He believes us to be betrothed, despite neither myself nor my father--or even his father--giving consent of any nature.”
“Humor him,” Kyoya advised. “France could be a valuable ally if Lobelia retaliated. Soak your letter in perfume, and try not to insult him this time. That should be enough to satiate him.”
They arrived at the Princess’s quarters, and Kyoya bowed to take his leave. Haruhi sighed before opening the door. “Dearest Kyo, where would I be without you?”
He smiled. It was genuine, full of light, bright against his dark cloak. “On the throne, Your Majesty,” he responded, lowering to kiss her hand. “Right where you belong.”

Between Wolves & Doves, Chapter Five; Moonlight
Tumblr media
Author: @punk-in-docs​ & @adamsnackdriver​
Also on AO3-
Trigger Warnings: !!! Violence and gore in this chapter !!! As-well as graphic mentions of death - yeah Kylo’s a hungry boi. Gets a bit deathy when he’s around.
Synopsis: Vampire!Kylo x OC love story. Inspired by BBC’s Dracula. Also inspired by Austen’s Pride & Prejudice.
He’s been stalking this earth long since civilizations can possibly fathom. Before records even began. He sneers at the fact that this pitiful young world has only just begun to see his reign of it.
He’s dined with moguls, emperors, princes. He’s consorted with bloodthirsty ruthless Queens in their courts, and whispered into the ears of powerful King’s, whose names still echo through millennia.
In his myriad of centuries gifted to his immortal self he’s been many many things. He’s been a lowly pauper. A crusading knight. An assassin. A sell sword. A soldier. A wanderer. A simpering suitor and a voracious unyielding lover. Aimlessly lost in time- besieging this earth. Ripping it apart and drinking what’s left.
He was made in the hinterland between snow and dirt and pine trees. Crusted with ash and blood and gouged from battle. Born anew. Sired from the hell-mouth of war. He was made in 789 AD.
He’ll come undone, one bitter winter night, in England, in 1816.
~ ~ 🥀  ~ ~
Not two days later and the Ashton’s are bid to the Phillips to dine.
 They are all in Westwell’s meagre foyer. Mother is fussing with Fathers cravat knot. Posy and Flora are fighting over who gets sole use of the looking glass. They tease at the spilling curls of their hair, they pinch at their cheeks to make them pinker.
 They’d already been scrapping all afternoon over who got to wear Iris’s sapphire earrings. Their screeches rang like sharp little butterflies all throughout the house. Posy won the battle for the gems in the end of all things. Iris stayed well out of it. She bid good fortune to the winner.
 She’s dressed tonight in another one of her ‘’matrimony inducing’ gowns. According to her mother. But she won’t deny it is a very pretty piece. It sits daintily rasped just off her shoulders, with three-quarter length sleeves. Indian silk fabric, the colour of dusky robin egg blue. It makes her hair look more brilliant, according to their local dressmaker, as she flapped swatches around Iris’s ears to help her mother make a choice.
 The neckline at the back drapes low to a row of matching blue buttons marching down her spine. Julia helped tease the teal silk ribbon Posy secured her, into her low done coiffure. Which sat braided and low at the back of her neck. Silver pins shining among the tumble of her dark hair.
 This wasn’t a ball and she could gladly forgo gloves. She’s wearing pearl drops from her earlobes. And mother insisted on a draping necklace around her throat. Simple silver necklace. With an oval aquamarine beryl, and a freshwater pearl dropping off it. It sits low in her clavicle and mother ensured the cut of her dress was low. Drawing attention to Iris’s shoulders and her comely bosom.
 She does as she’s bade - as ever. She steals a second in the mirror to check her coiffure. Now Posy and Flora are by the door, arguing over slippers and slipping the dainty things on their feet. Spitting fury at each other.
 Iris toys with her hair just for a second in the glass. At the wispy muddy bits that curl in front of her ears. She plucks them out of the hair arrangement. Aswell as one gentle curl down the nape of her neck. She lets it rest there. Clasping delicately at her skin.
 The care-worn face of her beleaguered father appears behind her in the looking glass reflection. With his greying rust hued hair, his squared fashionable sideburns and his tired, deep eyes the colour of jade marble.
 He loosens the linen knot his wife had just pinched tighter around his neck. His eyes warm like a sun baked green meadow when he peers at his eldest. Wrinkles bunch and crease at his eyes and at his mouth when he smiles. He had such a ruddy, open face.
 “You look very well tonight my dear.” He comments softly. Tugging at his tight collar. Fixing his green velvet lapels. Iris smiles at her father.
 He always was the gentle backbone of encouragement to her. Never once raised his voice to her. He never seemed to grow angry or vexed. Or have a swing of a temper. Those nasty sharp attitudes belonged solely and respectively to her mother. She’s the one who shouts and snipes. Father remains taciturn.
 “Thankyou, papa.” Iris beams at him. Turning around as he handed her, her indigo blue cloak. Iris seemed to be the one he favoured. Posy and Flora have slithers of acerbity in their temperaments, like mama. Iris seemed to flourish after his more witty and lenient nature.
 She brushes the lapels of his bottle green jacket down. Eyed the fraying seam that’s been stitched up in his shoulder. The faded linen of his shirt. It almost makes her want to go through with this marital farce that’s being forced so thoroughly upon her.
 “You look very handsome tonight too, might I add.” She smiles. Adjusting his cravat for him. Loosening it from the choking noose mother had tied. “I know how little you care for the Phillips.” Iris smiles thankfully. Not letting mama hear.
 “Mrs Phillips is most agreeable. Her husband however? Most odious man alive. It seems all he can converse about is how cumbersome the grouse is this season.” He relents quietly.
 “I deem it unwise to try and escape the acquaintance now. Mama would quite have a fit.” Iris supposed. Hushing quietly as she soothes down the points of his collar.
 He gives her a sober smile of agreement. His conduct and his temper always so agreeably timid. Humble. Like waves breaking on the dashed sharp rocks. Always yielding.
 She finishes with his coat and he goes to pick up his hat from the stand in the foyer, nestled by the front door. Julia is just helping Mama shrug on her coat. And pin her purple and black trimmed shako hat on securely.
 She harshly jerks her calfskin black gloves up her wrists with tugging severely sharp motions. Her coat is trimmed with the same onyx and lilac as that of her hat. And her dress beneath is a punchy lavender mauve. And she’s wearing her black lace fichu around her neck in a matronly manner.
 Posy and Flora have gone for their best washed silk dresses. Trussed up like twins. Posy is in a muted sage-emerald. And Flora has gone for a waxy and humble tulip-orange. Both have a white lace trim at the waist from the new Belgian lace they bought. Dainty white slippers and stockings on their feet.
 “We must go now. The dratted carriage better be here soon, or else we’ll be late.” Mama snaps. Fussing with her coiffure. Issuing orders to the maid after their departure.
 If Iris was lucky enough to be spared this outing? And be in their positions. She knows where she’d be. Curled up in the oak farmhouse chair in the kitchen, book in hand, with a cup of chocolate nearby as she warms her toes near the stove.
 As it is; she’s off for an evening of white soup by candlelight, strict conversation and a dazzling staggering show of the Phillips wealth. One that will grind mama’s teeth that they can’t compete with such affluence. And one that will have Flora, Posy, and father bored to tears within minutes. Wanting to gouge their eyes out with the ivory soup spoons for something to do.
 Iris will not have the time to be bored; she will have to comport herself and display her loveliness to every eligible man in attendance.
 She is at the door pulling on her warm gloves when Posy and Flora skip happily up to their elder sister. Posy sing-songs something about Lord Ren. “Maybe your suitor is invited tonight, Iris?” She teases.
 Iris levels her a look. Father turns around with his solid brow shooting up to his hairline. “I didn’t know you had a suitor, my dear?” He supposed kindly.
 Iris jams an elbow into Posy’s ribs. “That’s because I do not have one-” She insists blithely. Growling intemperately at her pest of a sister.
 “She does! She does Papa! And she’s smitten.” Flora speaks up. The little tick. Iris tries to swat at her with her gloves.
 “You say this about any man who so much as glances in her direction. Posy.” Mother says. Stepping past them all.
 “We should be so lucky that one of them might form an attachment.” Mother mutters under her breath. Fixing her cuffs and stepping out the front door to see the carriage drawing up ready to escort them all to the Phillips’.
 Iris shares a look of teeth gritting annoyance and forbearance with her father. Who pats her shoulder and gives her one of his crinkly smiles of comfort.  She steps up into the cold box of the carriage via the step. Shoving herself far across on the bench.
 Posy and Flora ram themselves onto the same bench with Iris. Sharp little elbows and knees digging into their sister; complaining of the lack of room they had. Mother and Father sat opposite. Not speaking. Which was their normality. Her sisters squawks and fusses more than aptly filled the silence.
 It’s not long before her mother starts speaking at her father about the household gossip of the day. She seldom expected him to respond.
 “Simpson told me today we must hire a new pair of hands for seasonal work up at the farm soon. We can not afford such an expense and reliable staff is so hard to come by in winter. I heard the Norris’s lost one of their farm hands just last night...”
 Iris tries to pay attention over Posy and Flora’s inane squabbles about their washed silk embroidered shawls. Posy has lost hers yet again- Flora was the suspected thief.
 “Apparently they found the man not five paces from the local tavern in the ditch. He’d drunk a skinful and then got run down by a coach. The fool...” She comments. Iris turns to look at her parents.
 “That is unfortunate. Poor fellow.” Father remarks in a detached manner.
 “Mrs Bishop wrote to me today too. And according to her, a manservant in her employ has gone missing. Her hall boy. And another labourer from Milton Farm was found just this morning in the woods outside Pembleton. Frozen stiff with cold, reeking of Gin, and he’d been attacked for the coins in his pocket. I honestly don’t know what this world is coming too. Really I don’t.” She remarks.
 Iris doesn’t know why. But a coiling slither of a snake wraps around her spine and squeezes.
 She shivers. And more worryingly, she can’t go about placing exactly why...
 “Perhaps a wild animal is loose hereabout these parts?” Father speculated. Uninterested.
 Mother harrumphed a snort of displeasure. “I say men who fall afoul of too much drink deserve everything they get. It’s simply not decent.” She says snappily. Sniffing loftily. Hands crossed in her lap. Brushing imaginary sullying specs off her skirts.
 Because of course she’s the type of woman who thinks insobriety and being lost to drink rightfully deserves being torn to pieces.
 “I do hope they don’t invite Mrs Norris tonight. She’s such a trying woman. And her daughter is such a useless untalented chit.” Mother says to herself. Posy and Flora hop on into the gossip.
 Iris watches out the window. She admires up on the smudged glow of the full moon. Sat pearly and proud in a sky netted full of of bursting white stars. So cold. So beautiful. Untouchable. Shrouding the dark world in silver from miles and leagues and scores away. She can’t understand how people don’t see beauty in this.
 It may be a cold, pallid light. But she doesn’t think so. It’s the misty magical cyclops of the night sky. The governing beauty. The crowning keystone of it, in her view. Chariot of pearl.
 She lapses into simply watching the night woodland pass by. The shadowed gnarled trees curling up to the heavens. Snow and frost still biting the air. It was thawing somewhat. But it’s not vanished just yet. It still crawls up the trees and lurks at the hard ground.
 They arrive at the Phillips modest Manor House. Not two miles outside Pembleton. A most pretty house. Abutting the lane leading directly up next to the small local chapel.
 There’s pink rosevines dead in winter, but still smothering most of the front of the white stone house. A modest Georgian manor of thirty rooms. Windows big and square and shining gold onto the gravelled drive that their coach crackles and shifts over as they arrive. Chimneys proudly blaze smoke. And the place looks merry and set on welcoming guests to a delightful dinner.
 The Ashton’s are seen inside by the astute white wig clad butler. He takes their coats to the cloakroom, gives them to the footmen. And then shows them to the drawing room, the main parlour, where everyone is gathering. Fireplace making the room stuffy.
 Candlelight drips apricot blaze of every wall. The parlour is furnished in trims of green and cream. Trimmed with luxurious velvet. Large gilded gold terrace doors overlook the frosty manicured gardens. Mrs Phillips does so love her tea roses. The air in the garden chokes with them even in this deadening winter.
 They all graciously curtsey and bow to their hosts. Mama sits with Mrs Phillips and the other elder matrons. Mrs Phillips sits with her little toy poodle in her lap.
 The fluffy little thing drowning under the weight of a ridiculous big pink silk bow tied at its neck. Papa begrudgingly folds his hands behind his back and gets beckoned over for a glass of port with Mr Phillips. He sends a look of dismay at his eldest.
 Posy and Flora sit and gossip with their friend. Primrose Phillips. Their daughter. Iris stands alone. She wanders to admire the painting hung up by the terrace doors.
 She leans closer, admiring the dark tones of the painting. The brushwork and the detail of the of the still life captured. A case of flowers. It’s very remarkable. She wished her parents appreciated such art over austere sketches of county churches.
 Her spine suddenly alights with thrashing hot nerves. Like she’s been scorched by a candle flame and had the burn soothed straightaway with ice. It’s sharply powerful.
 She turns where she had her back to the fireplace and all the gossiping Mama’s. Her breath catches just a little at the sight of Lord Ren filling the white parlour doorway.
 Coming to bid his hosts a good evening. And his thanks at the invite. Mrs Phillips genially flatters the big man. He towers over all the elegant ladies sat down on their settees like some huge tall dark tree she imagines standing in some foreign forest. Massive and wide. Struck by lightning. Charred to dark cinders.
 His eyes gaze downwards, and his jaw grits as Mrs Phillips ineffectual little lap dog starts emitting a low yappy growl. Snarling at the sable haired Lord.
 It’s pathetic little maw pulling back over it’s tiny blunt slobbering teeth that gnash at him. Kylo raises a brow and looks down at the fetid creature.
 He spears a slicing glance right at it for barely a second and then it’s cowering away.
 Whimpering into its mistresses lap. Burying its head into her armpit and cowering. She’s cooing and fussing the awful snappy little thing. Promising it a plate of sweet meats, and a saucer of warm milk.
 “I do so apologise, Lord Ren. Such a contrary creature. For my Puffin is never usually so shy of strangers.” She offers in her pitchy high voice. Almost as squeaky as that of her dog.
 Hugging the intemperate thing and bouncing it in her lap, coddling it like a firstborn baby. Big silk rosebud bow fluttering in the air. Ugly scrunched up little face and nose of it hiding from him. The dog recognised now who the alpha in this room was.
 Kylo tilts up a fleeting corner of his mouth in an attempt at a courteous smile.
 “It’s nothing to apologise for, Ma’am. I am often cursed myself, with the same affliction of being wary of strangers.” He says in good humour. Making the ladies all titter laughter.
 Iris blushes when he looks away from them and nods his bowed parting. Turns to look across to her. Focuses. Vision concentrated solely on her.
 Those onyx gems of eyes settle on the back of that neck of hers. Slice into her. Lingering along the dip of the material that skimmed her fine shoulders and spilled down her shoulder blades.
 His gigantic frame is not subtle in striding a swathe across the candle lit parlour. Coming straight to her. Making no secret about who he favours. Opening them both up to the speculation of the whole room-
 He doesn’t care not even one bit.
 The cool shade of him passes over her shoulder. Her cheeks flushed and she turns and politely curtseys to him. A politely soft “Lord Ren.” Leaves her lips. She feels the hair on the back of her neck raise a little in excitement. Bristling to stand like needles.
 He smirks. His kind were the reasons humans had that tingling gut sense. That primal indicator of visceral fear. The hairs on the back of the neck existed solely for the simple reason that blood lusting creatures, demons, such as him walked this earth. She should learn to trust in those instincts more.
 Danger present more than ever. For now, there’s a devil at her shoulder.
 “Miss Ashton.” He greets simply. Hands composed behind his back. Big chest swells again. No part of this man is small. Every muscle is a huge slab, big and brutally built. Long strong plains of him at every turn.
 He takes her hand and kisses it. He’s not wearing gloves. Neither is she. His hands are ice- must be the cold out of doors, she thinks.
 Their bare hands touch for the first time. Skin on skin.
 It’s electrifying. Sparks skip and shimmer through them.
 He bites back a growl as he finally finally finally gets a nose full of her bare skin. Touches her hand. His nose nuzzles her flesh for a second.
 Just one scant second. And then he has to enforce every shred of willpower he owns and knows, in order to pull away.
 She’s as exquisite as he dreamt. As he lusted about. Her skin is the most dangerous thing about her. Because it’s the hardest thing he’s had to do to resist tasting more of it. The gorgeous scent and the salt of the bare skin. Hint of spicy lavender. Chalky bergamot soap she used. The fragrance of silk on her skin.
 Bewitching. Her scent sends a tremor through his usually dead spine.
 Tonight his garb as is midnight ink dark as it usually is. Velvet black waistcoat. Obsidian breeches and shining proud boots and brushed overcoat. With a cream cravat and a white shirt. Like the full moon out in that black sky tonight. Pearl trim backed with sable. His cravat diamond pin glitters - oddly enough - like a far off star.
 If he looks like a winters sky shrouded by a pearly moon. She looks the opposite. Her blue dress is the colour of the brightest searing shade of a summers sky. Her eyes made brilliant by it. And he likes the silk blue ribbon tumbled prettily into her hair. Like some stream trickling through a golden meadow on a midsummers eve.
 “If I may say, how beautiful you look tonight. Miss Ashton.” He smiles. Hands folded back once more. His wide chest puffing out freely. His intimidating size at its usual ferocity.
 She feels her cheeks heat a little more. “Thankyou your, Lordship.” She flusters. “I’m sure I deserve no such meaningful praise. It is only a plain silk dress.” She dismisses.
 “Made striking by she who wears it.” He insists. She smiles at her feet. Diverting the attention.
 “How is that big beautiful horse of yours?” She asks nicely. He smirks a little. His eyes are charcoal-honey from the the nearby candlelight. He likes her enquiry.
 “He is very well. Misbehaving himself plenty. And nearly threw me yesterday on account of mutiny and protest for want of more carrots.” He jokes.
 “Oh dear.” She laughs. “I seem to have caused dissension in your own stables.” She apologised. Sorry he almost got hurt.
 “He shouldn’t be too perturbed at me. I’m the only one who rides him out.” He offers.
 “I should like to ride more. We only have the two horses on the farm and they are often reserved for use in labour out in the fields. And there always seems far too many errands stacked against me to indulge in the pastime.” She tells.
 “Then I must beg you come over and use Erland as much as you should wish to. He is rather fond of you. And Hellford is a vast estate of which ride on. I should be delighted it gets use beyond someone other than myself.” He offers.
 “I thank you for the invitation. I’ve never fully seen all of Hellford.” She explains. “Only the front parlour and that was very long ago. I was only a little girl then.”
 “You must come again and honour it with another visit.” He concludes.
 “Hellford’s grounds are very handsomely kept. The rose gardens are exquisite. And there’s 4 acres of woodland with plenty of good riding routes. I’d be vastly happy to show you them, any time you should like.” His smile tipped a little at the corners. Breaking up the stoicism of his usually stern scowl.
 “That’s very kind. As long as you are sure it won’t interrupt any of your business endeavours.” She offers politely.
 “My business was concluded days ago. I’m most happily and currently at my own leisure.”
 She smiles in agreement. “That must be so relaxing.”
 Iris wished she had one day whereby she could be at her own peace. Do as she liked. Go wherever she wanted and not have anyone else’s expectations hanging over her like heavy nimbuses.
 “It has its merits.” He smiles lightly down at her. Before his eyes flicker to the painting over her shoulder that she was admiring.
 “There’s even a Velasquez in the foyer at Hellford. Just begging to admired by appreciative eyes.” He adds. Her face lights up.
 “I’ve never seen a real Diego Velasquez in person. Only pictures from books in my fathers study.” She says in amazement.
 “His ‘Los Barrochos’ hangs in my hallway.” Kylo says with a hint of pride. “Now you simply have to visit, to come see it. Purely on unselfish grounds, Miss Ashton. Just for the arts sake.” He smarts.
 She smiles back. Apples of her cheeks pinking up again. “I would be delighted. No art should go unappreciated after all. You’re quite correct.” She smiles with good natured levity.
 His eyes gleam almost warmly, with wickedly pleased satisfaction. Crushed charcoal and honey of his eyes are captivating to look into. To drown in. That’s exactly what she does.
 Across the parlour, where a whole gaggle of mama’s and daughters are watching the room, speculating about it. They weren’t aware, but many eyes were glued to Iris and Lord Ren.
 Posy and Flora shared a pleased giddy look that the first time they’ve actually seen the severe man almost lets a smile crack his marble statue façade, and it’s because of their sister.
 “I think your dear Iris may have caught the biggest, richest prize in the pond. Mrs Ashton.” Mrs Phillips says with a smug proud expression, leans towards Iris’s mother and gently taps her hand. They were fond companions after all. Mrs Phillips other podgy hand, laden with pearl brackets and fat gemstone rings, was fondly stroking at Puffin’s ears now he’s calmed down.
 Caroline looks across at her eldest as she converses with Lord Ren. A slight frown crinkles her brow.
 “She would do vastly well to land a Lord.” Miss Smith Interjects. Sat on Caroline’s immediate right.
 She was a willowy woman. Figure like many twigs glued together. Gawky face. Beak of a long nose that she took great delight in shoving into business that was not her own. She was a harmless woman really. The general village busy body, and a spinster at three and fifty. Another close confidant and friend in the gossip vine for Caroline Ashton.
 “For Hellford is such a handsome house. Biggest land holding in all the county... Think what a lucky girl she would be to be mistress of it!” Miss Smith adds. Giggling in excitement like a young girl.
 Mrs Phillips steals another glance at the handsome couple. “They do make a fine pair. For she’s fairly handsome and he’s rich. Their children would be such darling things. Very dark colouring. But I fear he’s not to everyone’s taste...Something very, prohibitive, about his manner that I cannot place.” She decides.
 “I heard he takes little joy in anything. It is most odd.” Miss Smith agrees with their host most eagerly.
 “He does not dance. He barely drinks. His conversation is little and dry. And beyond the sport of his estate he rarely circulates in society. That must the foreign way of things in Bavaria.” Miss Smith sniffs with disdain. Turning her nose up at the merest intimation of something foreign.
 “Foreign and continental European manners are certainly nothing to admire.” Mrs Phillips declares. The ladies three then look at the young couple again.
 “Mmmm. I would suspect that an attachment is starting to bloom thereabouts...” She adds cunningly. As casually as if she was looking out her window and deciding the weather.
 “If they do marry. One can’t doubt the match would indisputably fine. But we would rarely see her if she marries a man so limited from the ton... what a cruelty that would be on her! Not to mention his estate is in Bavaria. What a grave loss she would be to us all.” Mrs Phillips croons sadly.
 Caroline looks over to her daughter. Where the shadow of the inexcusably large man and his dark shade looms over her. They are conversing quietly and genially with each other. If she’s not mistaken, she spots a brush of pink to Iris’s cheeks.
 “Indeed. I cannot doubt as fine a proposition as he would be... I would be more greatly comforted by her being settled here. At home. Nearer to us all.” Caroline insists to both her companions.
 “What about Brendol Hux’s son? Armitage. Wasn’t there a téndre between them some while ago? Now there. Perhaps that may be rekindled to better everyone’s satisfactions?” Miss Smith nods gladly cupping Caroline’s hand. As if Iris’s affairs were her very own to meddle with.
 “Indeed. I should not wish for poor Iris to marry so high above her dignity. She shouldn’t quit her sphere. Lord Ren should go and find himself an Heiress or a nice Duchess, if he must marry. That would do him well.” Mrs Phillips ultimately decides.
 Stouton, the excellently precise butler, enters the room and gives a dignified sharp nod to Mrs Phillips. Who announces to the room that dinner is ready. As the highest ranking gentleman in the room, Lord Ren escorts the lady of the house in to dine. Everyone follows in their lead.
 The dining room is very prettily done in shades of red and gold. The table groans with the amount of polished silverware. Glassware twinkles in the light off the fire and the numerous candles. Air spiced by the silver tiered platters of exotic fruit sitting in the table centre at measures intervals. Deep scent of plums and fleshy red apples gently radiate their sweet scent up the air. Red grapes drip from these rich arrangements.
 Everyone is seated according to rank and hierarchy. Mrs Phillips crowns the head of the table in her gown of demure blush muslin. Train drifted behind her like a galleon setting sail when the stout portly woman moved.
 Kylo is placed to Mrs Phillips’ right. Iris is lower down in rank. But she is placed two places opposite him across the finely laid table. Smooth as a square of white marble is the laid linen tablecloth.
 Mrs Phillips oversees the serving of the white soup. A frothy pallid broth made of veal stock, egg yolks, ground almonds and cream. To be eaten demurely along with the light conversation. Of which is quick to flourish along the table in this bored-rigid country society.
 Kylo sups down his soup, and he is caught by the change in topics as it shifts. Mr Phillips is speaking up to Mr Ashton about it.
 “Did you hear that the Norris’s lost one of their farm hands last eve. Just dreadful news...” Mr Phillips croaks up. Shaking his head into his wine glass.
 Kylo watches Iris innocently turn her head in the conversations intended direction. Two seats down from her. His eyes follow the pretty turn of her head. He tried not to look too closely at the elegant line of her pale throat. Nor at the little drop of red wine that lingered in the corner of her lips.
 He imagined it dripping its smooth rolling path down her neck. Over that pearl necklace. Only he didn’t exactly imagine it was wine...
 More people engage in the horrid nature of the conversation. Society being shocked by it. “Where was the Norris’s farm hand found?” Miss Smith piped up. Eager for details. Aghast. Clutching her chest in overdone fright.
 “Middle of the woods apparantly. He’d run for some time away from whatever terror hunted him. Looked like an animal had set to him something vicious, according to the local magistrate. Poor fool.” Mr Phillips announces morbidly.
 Ah yes. Kylo remembers the one. The second farm hand he’d feasted on.
 He’d watched from the shadows as the letch tried to snatch a young maids purse outside the chapel. She’d been coming back from a dance on her own late at night. He’d watched the man grope her with fat wandering meaty hands. Squeezed her bottom and her bosom and terrified her. Told her gruffly he could either take her money or her virginity. Left her sobbing in the dirt and ran off cackling with her purse.
 Kylo followed his foul stench. Gin and rot of sweat and various vile body odours souring his nose. He wasn’t hard to find.
 Followed the disgrace of a man deep into the heart of the woods. The idiot soon caught wind of his feral aggressor and ran fleeing. He caught him. And he ripped him to pieces and drank him all down. Was still picking bits of him out his teeth, come to mention it.
 His tongue idly strokes the front of one of his canines at the memory of it.
 “Is it man or beast that killed him?” Mrs Phillips asks.
 “Someone up near Lord Hearst’s estate say that a wolf had been spotted thereabouts lately.”
 “A wolf!” Miss Smith shrilled. “Oh, good heavens.” She frets. Dramatically dripping her soup spoon.
 “Do not be uneasy. Miss Smith.” Mr Ashton declares. Patting her hand nicely where he’s sat next to her.
 “It is folly. Surely. There haven’t been wolves in this country since the Hundred Years’ War.” Mr Ashton declares. “Fret not.”
 “Of course those are the rumours circulating on the estates. Especially surrounding Hellford.” Mrs Phillips pipes up. Turning her attention to Lord Ren. Many pairs of curious scared eyes swivelled to the man near the head of table, as he took a sip of his red wine.
 “I’m afraid I cannot offer any consolation nor relay any satisfaction upon the matter. I have seen no such beast on my land, Mrs Phillips. Maybe it is a stray dog... after all...” He trails away. Eating another mouthful of the white soup.
 “There is always such gossip prone to over exaggerate these things, is there not?” He drawls lowly. His dark eyes flicker up and land in Iris‘s own. His smile smoothly twitches. He couldn’t help it.
 His meaning scared her. For she did not know it’s intention. His eyes looked different when he remarked upon that. They looked... odd. Like cloud passing over a sunny day. Something then swarmed his eyes. And it looked feral.
 A shiver rockets down her spine. Makes her breath spurt out ragged and catch in her throat.
 Posy is sat on Iris’s left and she’s determined not to be left out the conversation. She must have her share in it. “My friend remarked that he heard it was a huge black Wolf with bright yellow eyes the colour of sunflowers.” She remarks.
 “Posy. I think that may be idle speculation.” Iris insists lightheartedly.
 Posy frowns stroppily. “I heard it directly from Mary Sampson’s mouth. And she never tells tall tales.” She insists firmly. Iris nods and goes back to eating her soup.
 “Maybe it’s the work of a mad man?” Miss Smith pipes up worriedly. Iris swore she hears the room collectively heave a sigh of annoyance into their soup spoons.
 “Some nasty beastly mad man roaming the countryside and cutting people up who come across his path. He might be vicious. What’s next? He could decide to come and murder us in our beds.” She panics pithily. “Cut our throats in the night!!” She says frenziedly.
 “Oh I shall have to get Barlow to put another bolt lock on my bedroom door or I shall never sleep again!” She declares.
 She did so fuss over the most inconsequential of things. Like the time she swore that the black plague was making a comeback - for she heard her maid sneeze three times in a row one day whilst bringing her tea. She was so prone to hysterics and exaggeration.
 Kylo wants to roll his eyes at her stupidity. Maybe his next victim should be her- maybe he should slaughter her in her bed. Rid the world of her vapid panicking.
 Iris smiles gently across at the flustered spinster. “Don’t overexert yourself, Miss Smith. I’m sure it’s just town gossip conjured up with the intention of frightening us.” She soothes.
 “I’m sure it’s not as evil as it first seems... There may be more reasons as to why they lost their lives.”
 Kylo does look at her right then. His little dove. Sat there with her brow all creased up with worry for this vapid inconsequential woman.
 She truly does have a heart of gold.
 Mrs Phillips speaks up again. “You know I did hear that two of the men were known drunkards. And one of them was found next to a lane. It seemed he wandered into the road after drinking a skinful and was struck by a speeding carriage. Poor soul.” She declares.
 “And the other man was robbed. Though he was rumoured to be the horrid purse snatcher who lurked around the chapel last week. Some other desperate thief must’ve caused his unfortunate death out of want of his loot. There, there, my dear. All is well.” Mrs Phillips ladled comfort into her friend. Smiling heartily at her.
 Miss Smith seems to settle down. She nods. Hand clasped dramatically to her chest. Mr Ashton pours her more wine and she takes back great thudding gulps of it.
 Iris shares another fleeting look with Lord Ren. He smiles delicately at her. Mr Phillips resumes his usual spouting on and on about the grouse season. He ropes Kylo into an invite to come shoot his grouse whenever he pleases. Miss Smith keenly traps the ladies into a conversation about printed cotton.
 They talk all through the next course about more savoury things. They are served broiled partridges with gravy for the next, and an entire haunch of roasted venison. Cooked to retain just a tinge of pink. And just a slight dribble of ichor when the meat was sliced into. Served with stewed sopping celery drowned in cream. And buttered carrots and boiled potatoes. The food swamped the table in great big heaped portions on silver platters.
 Kylo was glad they didn’t cook such a rich meat until it was a slab of boiled grey toughness. He tears his sharp teeth into the slices of roast deer and eats his big fill. Licks the iron-copper tinge of blood off his lips. It lightly sates the animal gnawing at his belly. But he needs proper blood.
 Needs the liquid metal rush of it pouring down his throat and staining his white teeth crimson.
 The full moon was bringing out his more feral senses. It always does. Gets him restless and baying for blood with a hell of a thirst. The need to feed more intense than ever.
 As the pudding arrives, Kylo is sipping more claret and letting his suave black gaze wander over to Miss Ashton again. She’s talking to one of her innumerable silly pests of a sister.
 He lets his eyes stroke along her, and admire her for a second. Such a gaze doesn’t go unnoticed by Caroline Ashton. Down the table she sees Lord Rens gaze linger on Iris- and she wonders...
 Her reverie is broken by the arrival of pudding. As it was still colder, a steaming great whitepot pudding is served. Bread and butter and cream with currants dotted into the sponge. Flavoured with mace and nutmeg. Alongside this is served a tower of marzipan fruit and cold fruit tartlets. Lots of sugar and whipped cream and strawberries steeped in sugar syrup.
 Lord Ren does not oblige himself in sweets. He’ll have his fill later. Find some wandering idiot drunk to indulge his true appetites.
 Evebtually, the ladies separate from the gentlemen. They are left around the table to smoke cheroots, or sip port, as the ladies retire to the parlour for embroidery or gossip.
 Kylo watches his little dove stand and head away. Smiling demurely at him before she goes. He snatched up every second of it.
 She turns and walks away, led by her sister. He longs after the nape of her neck as she departs. The pale arch of it kissed by dark twirls of hair.
 She feels like she can’t breathe until she gets out of the room. She takes a deep breath and wets her lips as they come to the second parlour.
 Mrs Phillips particular favourite room. For her particular use. Iris can see why; it’s gaudy and decorated to drowning point with rosebud fabrics. Its nature was definitely intended to be ladies room. Draped and stuffed with pink velvety drapes, cream carpets and gold gilded French furniture. Pillows and cushions stuffed onto the settee in blush rose print. Ruffles and flounces and so many more eye-watering trims.
 Iris feels a little nauseous walking into the sickly sweet room. But she sits dutifully on the settee by the window and sips whatever snifter Mrs Phillips put into her hand. Negus, Iris thinks it might be. A favourite punch at balls. Port mixed with boiled water, nutmeg and sugar syrup. 
 Mrs Phillips insists something warming helps aid with the digestion. Flora and Posy are feeding little nuggets of sweet meats to Puffin the toy dog as he yips for more. Mother is talking with her matrons again.
 And Iris is sat looking out at the moon. Candlelight casts up one side of her face. She lets it’s watery gently light wash over her. Listen to the matrons giggling in their corner. And Posy and Flora gossiping with Primrose.
 She thinks how nice it must be to be entirely thousands of miles away. Alone in the sky. Free of burden. Just being known for casting beautiful light onto the earth.
 “Pleasant, isn’t she?” Comes a deep voice at her side. Deeper and thicker than oozing warm honey.
 She smiles. The gentlemen have come in. Fresh from their all male talk and their port and their smoking. Brandy and cheroot smoke sticks to his coat. Though he didn’t imbibe in either. Just more port.
 Lord Ren is stood by her side again. Arms behind his back in their usual place. Looking up at the very orb of a thing that’s firing his blood. Then he glances downwards and sees the earth-bound mortal form of the woman who does the very same. Only she’s touched on more softer, hidden parts of him.
 “Such beauty.” She remarks. She tilts her head up at it. “Some remark it is a cold light. But-“
 “I disagree.” Lord Ren adds. Interjecting. Smiles down at her. When she looks up. The flash of her pale skinned neck and the side of her jaw cast in the moon and the candlelight makes his mouth water. Her eyes are divinely silver. Just like another soul he knows and loves...
 “There is mystery. For even the moon has her burdens and her secrets. The brightest thing in the sky has the darkest side that’s never revealed to a soul.” He supposed. His eyes catching in hers.
 She can see by the weighting of his granite eyes. That he means that phrase very deeply.
 “Much the same as people. I grant. Enigmatic, if they so choose to be.” She says.
 “Some darker sides of people, Miss Ashton, should never see the light.” He tells her.
 She feels like he’s speaking from experience. She opens her mouth to ask. But her mother hissing her name and gesturing her over with a spurring-curling motion of her hand, breaks the hypnotic spell his eyes gripped on her.
 She looks back up at him. He extends a hand to help her up. There’s that thrill of electricity again. Needles up her arm and wracks at her spine.
 “I think it likely my mother will encourage us home soon. I’ll take my leave of you now.” She says sadly. Though she doesn’t wish too- he feels her sadness and her dread.
 She curtseys. Bows her neck to him. Dips at her knees. He doesn’t relinquish his gentle clasp of her hand.
 “Until next time, Miss Ashton.” He drawls low.
 She dies on the spot when her turns her palm over and presses a kiss to her sensitive weak hand. Holding her fingers with one hand and rubbing his thumb over the spot he just kissed.
 His lips are devilishly soft and when he looks up at her her spine crumbles. She shivers and he hears it. Her chest flutters a breath with it.
 “I bid you good evening, Lord Ren. It was a pleasure.”
 “The pleasure was entirely mine.” He hushes so low. He manages to make his words sound sordid. Rascally and humming deep. So deep her bones rang with it and all her the soft tissue meat of her, quivers.
 This feels like seduction.
 Knee weakening seduction. She feels her cheeks beating out unattractive pink heat. Flushed from head to toe. Breath stutters into her pathetic shrivelling lungs. She doesn’t know what this is- what this man is wielding onto her. She’s never felt the likes of it before.
 She takes her hand from him, drags her eyes from the addictive granite pools of his, and steps aside to go to her mother. As she bade. She feels his eyes on her back as she walks away across the room.
 She curls her hand into a fist. So she might better preserve the searing memory of his kiss.
 It’s ridiculous and silly. But she keeps her hand fisted shut the whole way home. Thinks back to the hunger in his eyes and feels flushed whenever she remarks how it sat there- all for her and her alone.
  ~
  The whole world seems asleep. When the vampires roam to feed. Kylo swore this whole sleepy county is deaf and dull now. Even the very last scullery maid of every grand house, and kitchen skivvy had extinguished the very last candle hours ago. Night looms thick and bitter.
 The moon in all her pallid smudgy eminence, still owns the whole sky and blots out the glory of the stars. Gently kissing onto the navy heavens. Kylo has hunted under that very same silver moon.
 It recharged the restless rough animal in his bloodstream.
 Tonight, after dining, He took his leave. Took to the woods. Waited. Chased down his prey and drank his fill. Toasting his success under that watery bright light. Left the mangled and twisted body like a mortal offering of a sacrifice to the old gods. Basted the landscape in the blood he didn’t want, watering the icy crusted dirt of the earth. Staining the snow.
 Humans all went back into the earth at the end. Returned to the mud and soil and rot of where they came from. Decayed to frail dirty bones and that’s all that remains. He was just helping them get there a tad quicker.
 Crimson blooms down his white shirt and white cravat. It trails down the corner of his mouth and chin until he licks it clean. Sucks up the remains with his fingers til his face is clean. Garnet however is still marring his white square teeth.
 His eyes are still golder than coin. Fresh off the hunt. Dappled in blood. And he finds himself stepping through the dark-dead, grey wood. To a place that now seemed familiar to him.
 The house is dark. Every window dull. Even the dormers in the attic where their maids slept, even there all is deathly dark like the eye of a skull. He sets his sights on one bedroom window in particular.
 Her window was cracked open- and when he gets up to it, silent as a shadow, he sees why. The fire makes her room too muggy. This way the stifling sticky heat had somewhere to escape too.
 Her curtains are drawn, twitching on the breeze. And the fireplace lit at the end of her bed, across the room in the Morris wallpapered alcove of the hearth, casts the room in amber. As if she’s encased in it. Trapped. Preserved like an item of jewellery in this flamed room.
 That wasn’t too far away from an accurate description. She is trapped. One day she’ll be sold into marriage by her mother. Then she’ll be trapped by the fetid husband she’s supposed to serve obediently; to wait on hand and foot, and dole out his heir and a spare, like she’s shelling peas.
 He sneaks his big hand under the crack in the sash window, silently lifts it up and slips inside. Curtains rustle and he leaves them pushed apart to fit through. Steps down onto her windowsill, then onto the floor. His clothes barely make a rasp. His shoes don’t even scrape the whining buckled floorboards.
 He’s inside, and his golden eyes catch onto the sleeping little dove, huddled up as a lump into the quilts of her bed.
 Her hair is loose and crumpled around her head. Face turned away from him. Night down slipping off a shoulder. Wispy thin. Like gauzy moth wings. Exposing her chest, the shadowed mounding globes of her breasts. Swelling and falling.
 He can see the thud of her mortal heart wrack her skin. Pulsing her throat. Thudding out her wrists. Beating that lavender and bergamot soap scent out to his senses. Calling to him. Enslaving him. The creature she could never have a hope to tame.
 He gazes at her as he rounds the end of the bed. Softly paces around it. She won’t wake. His nature makes highly sure of that. Vampires are after all, darkly magic animals. Predatory too. He can stun his prey the way he wants. The way he needs too. He’ll lull her body into deep sleep like a newborn. Seduce her weak mortal self to bend to his will.
 He sits on the mattress near her hip. Watching her face sloped peaceful in gentle rest. His blood crusted hands reach out, drying rust caked at his nails, big fingertips slipping over her knuckles where her hand lay down by her side. The other folded across her waist.
 He strokes along her arm. Watches her rest. Soothes his animosity with the tactile soft of her innocent skin.
 His fingers travel upwards to her hair. He lifts it off her neck and rakes his fingers through the golden-brown wave of it. It drifts through his fingers like spun bronzed-gold that smells of French lavender.
 A big wave of heat and perfume of bare skin hits him when he peels her hair away. Warm from where she’s cosily snuggled into her pillow.
 He moans desperately. Like a wounded animal. The most gut-wrenching sob falls out his mouth.
 He can’t help it. Moth to a flame. He’s drawn across the bed until his lips hit at her skin. Tracing the jugular in her throat. He tremors with need. From being within the barest millimetre of being able to taste her warm skin. That manna sent from heaven, put on this earth for him alone to savour.
 “What in gods name are you doing to me, little dove?” He gasps. His speech muffled into her skin. He kisses at her hot throat and growls low in his when he feels her blood beat under his tongue.
 This close to her- and he didn’t want to tear open her throat with the white knives of his sharp teeth. She’s worth more than that.
 Oh, he knew she’d taste so sweet to feast on. He just knows it. She will. She’ll taste like thick honey and coins and sugared copper.
 “You take me so beyond any lust or any need I’ve ever felt in my entire life.” He promises to her.
 He’s still close. Kissing hot embraces of butterfly kisses at her neck. Gold eyes glittering so stark in the blue and amber half light of her bedchamber. Like yellowed cats eyes.
 “What is this?” He asks her. “What I feel for you- how does it never stop?...” He begs to know. Begs to be shown clarity over this force.
 His chest brushes into hers where she lays on the bed. He kisses up to her jaw. His adoring fingers skim over her cheek. Finding her cheekbone and trailing along its shape under her tender skin.
 He kisses her jawbone and moans again. Hum of his deep voice soaking trembling into her skin from his hot blooded mouth. Copper souring in his tongue and teeth.
 “I so long to kiss you.” He aches for it. Aches so deep it’s a physical pain in his gut. He groans, hard already at the merest thought of it. And that was just at tasting her mouth-
 “But I want you awake and willing in my arms when I kiss you for the first time. I’ll have you trembling and weak for me. Now I just have to wait to be able to taste those pretty lips.” He whispers onto her chin.
 Adores her face like this whilst he can. Top of his nose presses under her jaw and he takes a deep breath of her neck, whimpering with need.
 He pants into her neck once more. “Sleep well. Little dove.”
 He strokes her cheek kisses it one last time before he tears himself off the bed and slips away. Leaving her room as smoothly as a silent shadow.

power struggles
viktor/ron + medieval for anon
-
Viktor did not want to court Hermione Granger.
She ruled her nation with a kind heart and an iron fist. She was intelligent, smarter than the rest of her dukes and nobles, and they all knew it too. She was as beautiful as she was clever--which said a lot.
Viktor wasn't interested.
She wasn't her type.
Shes weren't his type.
However, due to the will of his father, he had to travel to his country, where he'd stay for a long, long, long, time.
But.
The knight.
The knight that Viktor had been provided with by Lady Granger, graciously.
The knight was his type.
"This is Sir Weasley. He is one of our strongest knights, and a strategist. " Someone, some introducer, someone who was now irrelevant, had presented him with the knight.
And.
And.
Viktor felt hungry.
Weasley said nothing.
When they met, Weasley's mouth was in a firm, straight line, well trained to not say a word unless addressed. He held himself tall, shoulders back, chest out. Weasley had rust colored hair, alluring and brash in the sunlight, so different from the people in his country. He filled out his armour and uniforms quite nicely.
In Viktor's opinion.
Weasley's post was inside his room, back to the door, facing the rest of the space. The castle guards would be outside the room. It was protective. It was secretive.
Viktor had eyes.
He could see Weasley's eyes raking his body up and down when he prepared for bed.
Viktor was courting now, yes.
It was not Lady Hermione Granger.
--
They first spoke, an actual conversation, a week after Viktor moved into the castle.
Granted, Viktor had to order it out, a little bit.
His first name was Ronald.
Viktor called him Ron.
Their conversation was stilted, and started off slightly uncomfortable. Viktor had a strong accent. Ron had orders not to interact with the nobles unless instructed.
Sooner than later, however, it wasn't awkward anymore.
Viktor confided to the knight that he had no interest in being a suitor for the Queen.
Ron told him that these arrangements didn't require love anyways. It was a union of power. An exhibit of strength.
Viktor then murmured, wistfully, "I'm a romantic."
--
Ron Weasley was from a once poor family of seven children.
It had been months since Viktor moved in. Ron was comfortable with talking to Viktor freely.
Ron told him about his family. About their struggles. How they loved each other dearly, and would do anything for each other. He was the odd child out. Unmarried.
It made Viktor wonder for siblings. What they would be like, if his childhood wasn't so lonely. It also made him wonder how Ron was unmarried. He was handsome, strong, smart. A knight.
Then Ron had met Harry, an orphaned Duke, humble and kind and he'd loved Ron like a brother. And then the Weasleys weren't poor anymore.
The story was short.
--
A week afterwards, Viktor kissed Ron.
He felt sick afterwards.
He felt disgusted.
"I'm s-so sorry." He stammered, aghast.
He had power. Ron did not.
He took advantage.
Ron did not say anything for a long time, but he would not let Viktor leave, either. When the prince had turned away, he grabbed his wrist, gently and tugged him into Viktor's private quarters, and said nothing. Did nothing. His fingers still circled around his wrist.
It was agonising. Viktor should not have been so stupid. He should have-
"Do it again." Ron commanded. He made the demand with such force, his voice only cracking a little, that Viktor could only scramble to comply. Ron had the cards. It wasn't Viktor over Ron, anymore. Ron had the power, and Viktor willingly let him, would let him, always.
And he kissed him again. Slower. Softer. Hands on the back of his neck, Ron's red hair tickling his hands. When they parted, Ron's just whispered "again."
So they did. Again. Again. Again. They locked the doors. Moved to the bed.
Again. Again. Again.
--
Queen Hermione married Viktor, without the intention of loving him, because her heart had gone to her handmaid, Pansy. The two members of royalty struck up a close friendship, and nothing more. It was an arrangement for the public to relish, and for them to satisfy the power struggles between their nations.
And Viktor's knight, Sir Ronald Weasley remained his right hand man, dutifully guarding the King's room, every day.
Again, again, again.

Since I didn't see anyone ask about the homestuck au I feel obligated to ask as a fellow Homestuck (insert Homestuck police image (you know the one) here)
Oh fuck oh no the homestuck au oh shit
 There’s not much content here, I just organized them on classpects I thought they’d fit and put some of them as trolls (Also, alternia here is quite different from canon) 
 I think the most fun on this au is explaing my process to thinking why I decided what I did, so this is gonna be a quite repetitive and long post, sorry y’all
Kids:
Evan: Witch of Breath, his aspect basically because he has the leader role but it’s not something he takes control himself, it’s about the freedom he seeks and then incentivating others to join him, I chose the class of the witch since it’s the active change class, wich means he changes the aspect/changes through for himself, let’s think about games for me to explain you- he hates games where he has to do something like it tells him to, and love the games where he can use his liberty to have fun in whatever way he finds. I also have him as a prospit dreamer for reasons that I don’t really want to explain since it’ll get so repetitive, you guys getting the moons I say so >:)!
Tyler: Actually a Rogue of Time. I can’t lie I really wanted a timeplayer on the kids side, but I think I got a good thinking here, stay with me- The fighting aspect, the fact they don’t accept things as they are and act to change instead of just waiting things happen, the impatience- I quote the extended zodiac definition of time players: “You can’t tell them to sit still and look pretty”, plus, the rogue part of his title, the passive stealing class, someone who steal the from/through the aspect for others. A rogue can be generous and receptive, with strong ideals, on the worst cases they can bee too impulsive and apathetic. I’m not like 100% sure but I needed him as a time player and this classpect with him as a derse dreamer fit so well on how I expect him to be in this au, looking really self-centered and yet doing all he does for others instead of himself!
Nogla: Green boy is our Knight of Space! I mean... With Tyler’s description you might expect him to be te opposite, as a space player his job is to not worry about where things go, and pretty much enjoy the ride! He does understand that he needs to do things so they go the way you want to, he just don’t usually worry about it that much, he worries more about how he’s doing something than what he’s doing, and that gets him to the creative aspect, wich is why he, as a space player, is the one with the mission to creat the new universe! But that’s not all, he’s a knight!! The passive serving class are known to have a mask that’s supposed to make their friends trust them more than they trust themselves, Nogla’s is that he acts way more positive and stupid than he actually is so people around him believe him to be trustworthy, it also makes him feel safer around people that he trust are not using him. Sometimes the mask has a different effect and people thinks he’s annoying tho. But the thing with knghts are that they want to be there to help his friends, always, so he ends up being way too selfless and, well, as Tyler says: Actually stupid. He’s also a prospit dreamer, he’s just baby I love him.
Our last kid is Marcel!! He’s a Seer of Rage! His aspect comes from his chaotic side, as a rage player, he believes that society is full of lies, and there’s nothing he hates more than someone not telling the truth to him, he wants to know what’s actually happening so he can act on his passive knowledge class of seer, someone that looks to know more so he can be able to help their colleagues by acting his advices himself, he can get easily frustated when things don’t go the way he wants them to, and in the worst case can get upset enough to become agressive, as a derse dreamer he gets even more chaotic and easily frustaded. Besides, both his dream pajamas and his god tier pajamas are purple and he looks amazing in the color ;)
Trolls:
Now we go for the alliens, the descriptions will get even longer since I have to tell what’s their blood is, I won’t be explaining aspects and classes that are showing up again on this case, but if you want a more especific analysis from me in one of the boys just send me another ask!
Cartoonz: Rust blood- Adventurous, craving for new experiences far from home and often not cautious enough when agitated? Well, that makes me feel less bad about choosing his blood on the color red lol. Jk, I mean, his blood I chose on color, but I also believe that he’d do a great alternian lowblood rebel! And as a derse dreamer Prince of Time? Well, the aspect you get what I mean from Tyler description, but boy, the active destruction class does fit him in the way I wanted, he can get way too confident on his habilities, with motive of course! He’s capable of incredible things!!! But his confidence can make him impose himself on others as authority, his ideals are important for him and he’s difficult to change his mind, he does what he deems right while still showing how much he cares for the little things around him. He’s someone trustwothy and a incredible good leader besides not being in the relationships side of aspects! Plus, what’s better than get our infamous King Toonz as the prince in the game?
Squirrel: I mean... Bronze blood?? Obviously?? Warm and generous?? Slow to open without having someone else besides them?? Open hearted?? Afinity to animals??? Needy of attention and affection?? Polite when upset?? Basically babies??????? Yup! Plus, once again the color guided me this way-- But anyway! He’s a (oh my god I forgot I put him as this but fuck yeah) Thief of Doom! Doom y’all know as the bad aspect about death and shit but listen to me! The extended zodiac explains that doom players tend to be sufferers, that through their difficulties became wise and empathetic of others surffering, not the advice friend, but the friend that can confort, we’re talking about our sweet Dead Squirrel here my guys! And then I got this idea of putting him as a thief and oh my gosh I hate thieves but I loved this idea so much I kinda want use it in a homestuck rpg I do with some friends! The thieve is the active stealing class, wich means he does what a rogue does, but for themselves, while rogues give away what they steal for others, thieves keep it for themselves, it’s normally interpretated as egoist and that’s why I hate them, but being the boy we’re talking about, even if Squirrel steals the doom aspect to keep it for himself, he does it in a selfless act of trying to protect his friends from it, you can interpretate him as a knight kind of person here but I’ll stay with a derse dreamer Thief of Doom!
Smiity is our gold blood and it’s not because of the vibes he and Sollux share with red an blue glasses yOU SHUT UP! But for real, yellow trolls have the whole psych thing but what I ended up loving about putting Smiit as one is the facts that, they like to talk even if the people around the don’t wanna hear, they tend to accidentaly force their opinions in other people and if the person feels sorry about it all they can get axious easily about their actions, but still do it because it’s themselves, and I love to take this as Smiit’s careless way to act combined with his canadian way to be nice and I love it! He’s a derse dreamer Rogue of Rage, I explained both before, so really basic: he straight up just spreads chaos.
Brian: He’s our mutant lime, our candy red blooded troll!! Decided on his decisions (”if i wanna do it i’ll do it fuck you”), he can be quite the drama queen, he exagerates his feelings since he can’t hide them, he’s has caring and empathetic instincts and he’s so goddamn loyal, Once again quoting the extended zodiac: “ Romance is extremely important to Lime Signs, and when they fall, they fall hard. They don't take rejection well, and a breakup can send them into a tailspin requiring an extended period of recovery.”. And he’s our sweet derse dreamer Knight of Breath! Another one who was already basically explained, his title makes him the one who wants to bring freedom to his friends. His mask is of a confident flirty while he himself is scared of not being what people expects him to be. Fuck I love this Irish handsome bitch.
Panda: He’s an olive blooded troll! They’re described to be generous and sweet, ready to help if someone needs, they’re not really good with changes but they’re the type to drop anything to get into helper mode. But oh damn, they’re not afraid of just getting up and going out if something is not as they like. He’s a prospit dreamer Seer of Life, seer was already kinda of explained, and I put him as life bounded because of their empathetic side and how I can see Anthony as a (sometimes moody) healer! I can’t lie that his was one of the last classpects that I thought of and I wanted to fit him as a Life player, if there are other suggetions I’d like to hear too!!
Moo: Well, jade bloods are basically the default moms right? I mean, this is supposed to be expected right? I mean, I can’t even quote the extended zodiac because I’d be just copying and pasting what’s written! I’ll gladly do so in another ask but for now just accept it. And if you think that being a jade blood is not mom enough, don’t worry, I got ya, he’s also a prospit dreamer Sylph of Blood. Sylphs are the passive creation class, creating the aspect / creating through the ascpec for others, they’re curious and can get intrusive when they get worried too much, they wanna know what’s wrong and they wanna help so bad, even when their help isn’t wanted, they’re gentle and the bringers of care for their groups, and holy this isn’t enough already? No, cause he’s our fucking blood player, the aspect of union and relationships, pretty much natural leaders that bring people together by becoming friends with every single person in the group and then forming the group. Y’all think he’s mom enough?
Ohm: I completely didn’t choose Ohm to be a teal blood because he gave me Terezi vibes just like Smiity shut up. He does a good teal! They’re social and can be really flirtatious even accidentaly, they got strong morals that may get them to commit mistakes and let them down easly, they trust people way too quikly, they’re often better alone but with the right companion they can do so much!! Plus, he’s a prospit dreamer Heir of Space! We already talked about space bounds so just let me tell you, the most known point in a heir is their innocence in a determined subject, It’s a thing that I personally can’t really explain tho, they’re the passive changing class, so they’re easily adaptable and open, they care a lot about what their impact may be in others so they may hide facts about themselves, they not only change themselves for others but they incentive others to change for better, they’re caring, friendly and understanding, in the worst case they can be way too easly manipulated.
Mini: Our ladd here is a blue blood! The blood color that’s described to be capable of causing the most good but also the worst harm. They’re nice to have around as friends, and can easly become one, they’re adaptable and people magnets, they vallue their friends, wich also means they can be hard to forget a fight and get easly moody towards people they once considered close. And he’s also a derse dreamer Bard Of Light! As a bard he’s the passive destruction class, they’re devoted and faithful, they can be easly offended by criticism towards what they think is right, possibly getting open minded if the critic is someone they’re devoted at, a close friend or partner, they’re helpful, willing and friendly, but can also be inflexible in cases. As a light player Mini can be described as willing to learn more about what’s interesting him at the moment, he’s a seeker and he sees rules as suggestions to what he should do. He’s also one that I chose last so if you have a suggention I’m open!
Scotty: The boy is our indigo blood! Friendly, cheerful, energetic and curious! He can be easly attracted to anything that gets his interest and that also means he loses said interest easly, he is stronger than he thinks he is and can be careless about himself and others around him, he’s one that need to have an eye on to make sure he’s fine, and of course the person need to be prepared for so much energy! As another one that I couldn’t easily decide and became one of the last ones I chose, he’s an prospit dreamer Maid of Mind. The active creation class is kind of a favourite of mine, but kind of hard for me to explain as well, what I can tell you about them is that they are born to a fate they don’t like, and once they envolve in the game they decide to do their own fate by expressing themselves on their creations or something, I’m not really sure but I love this class!! And being mind bounded means our fuckboy tries to be rational most of the time, often that means he overthinks a lot, he sees most if not all possibilities of a decision and he’ll think over them, he’s mostly a person that’s slow to act, but when he does he knows what he’s doing, so just do how he says!
Delirious: I’ll get people getting mad at me that I didn’t put him as either teal, blue or indigo blood, but for real can you really judge me to choose him to be a purple blood when they have the clown make up and creepy as hell aethetic? And plus, the fact their description says they’re hard to trust on others, they can be mysterious and are great at keeping secrets. They’re decided and hard to change minds, they often want to refuse to be helped even when they need, but after all, when they trust someone they become devoted, putting way too much trust on them. I mean, yeah?? And he’s also our prospit dreamer Page of Void. The active serving class is another one of my favourits, being the people full of potential, they compare themselves to other and then create an ideal of who they want to be in their mind, some persona they want to become with characterists they don’t see themselves having, their nature on believing they can be what they build on their minds show their innocence and kindness, they sometimes can shut themselves inside their personas and act like how they want to be and less how they are, at best, they’re caring, charming and big dreamers, while at worst they can be manipulative and selfish by forcing their persona on others. And with all that, Del is also void bounded, meaning he’s a great secret keeper! He’s attracted to mystery and the unknown is his best friend, while others want to find out what they don’t know, Del is convicted on doubting what’s said to be the truth, he can be easly described as intuitive!
I’m not really sure but I believe our violet blood will be Lui by being a Witch of Hope prospit player, I’m not gonna talk so much about why because I’m getting out of time sorry----
Last boy will be Kryoz as our fuchsia heir, derse dreamer and Mage of Heart, he’s one that I thought first in the au and I’d love to explain more, but once again I’m going out of time, you can ask me about him separetely if you want to!!
Sorry for just yeeting myself out of explaining in these last two, I have been writing this explanation for two days now and I had to start again like twice because I was running out of time, I’m also sorry if there are any grammar mistakes I hadn’t had the time to revise it efhdgdgfed

Mysme Royal AU - Saeyoung The Royal Scribe
I have decided to continue my royal AU! So here is the next part! Where Knight MC meets Saeyoung, the scribe for the royal court! I hope you enjoy!
Something Wicked (Awesome) This Way Comes
As MC stood in front of the massive gate her feet still unwilling to move, she noticed it was oddly quiet. Only moments ago it seemed like peasants and nobles alike were pushing their way past one another outside of the castles walls. Going about their day's as planned. She looked to her right and as soon as she did she heard a sharp voice.
"Ya know..."
MC snapped her eyesight to the left. Standing next to her, looking directly forward, was a seemingly common man, with blazing red hair and honey eyes. The sun hitting them, the trajectory of the light making them shine gold. He was not looking at MC and he had not finished his sentence. MC stared at him with wide eyes. Wondering if he was going to continue. The silence making her uncomfortable. She furrowed her brows and inhaled, ready to break the silence. But as if he was baiting her to try and say something, before she could get the words out, the man cut her off.
"I found that just staring at things doesn't cause them to do what you want. Allow me to assist you, fair maiden!" The red haired man walked up to the gate. When he gave it a few gentle raps with his knuckles, the gate began to part open. "You see. Just gotta know the right knock to get in." He winked and walked back beside of MC.
"Thanks but...I wasn't exactly trying to get inside." MC mumbled to herself, clenching her hands into fists and looking down at the dirt beneath her, but her voice carries more than she is aware of.
"Oh, were you not? Are you waiting on a formal invitation? No that can't be right. You already got one!"
When she looked to her side the man was gone again. She found him perched. Sitting on one of the nearby posts by the gate. A very high post. She was impressed he made it up to sit. She arched an eyebrow at him quizzically.
"You know who I am?"
"Why of course! You're the new sheriff in town! I was just on my way inside and as a member of the royal court, seeing you, it is my duty to greet you! Make you feel at home!" The lively man jumped down and stood beside her once more. He picked up the roughed up sack and satchel MC had brought with her and threw them over his shoulder. "So onward we go my lord!" With his free arm he pointed forward in a charging motion and began to hastily walk through the gate doors.
MC chuckled to herself and found that her legs that earlier felt like they were cemented to the ground, now were as light as feathers and she took the first step forward since she had arrived at C&R Kingdom. She quickened her pace to catch up with her new acquaintance.
"So you know me, but who exactly are you? You seem very informal for a member of the royal court."
The man stopped and turned toward her with a deadpan look. Then a single tear fell from the corner of his eye. MC stood in horror trying to think of what she had done to trigger such emotion. 
"Thank you! That is one of the nicest things anyone could say to me!" His honey eyes sparkling from the moisture of his fake tears, closed tight as he let out a hardy laugh and began to walk forward once more. "The name is Saeyoung! And I am the royal scribe!" He stopped and waited for MC to step beside him and then he leaned in close to her ear. "I am also the self appointed caretaker of the Prince's royal feline, but that's between you and I." Saeyoung winked at MC and they continued on their walk down the paved path to the castles main doors.
MC was walking with her hands clasped behind her back and her posture straight as a board. She was not carrying anything since the scribe so graciously scooped up her things. She knew that she was within the castle walls now however, and she needed to present herself in a certain manner. She came to be the head of an army. A "Lord" to the Prince. She had not yet met Prince Jumin but she couldn't let herself falter in the eyes of anyone who was already known to him. The people within these walls were potentially her men, the people she was to lead. And even those that were not hers to command, she felt needed to see her and take her seriously in her new position. Aside from that, intimidation. The Prince and the royal court may have invited her to the kingdom of C&R but that didn't meant it's people would be so gracious as well. She walked tall and proud but her inner Knight had rusted armor.
"And those are the only titles you hold?" MC side eyed her companion, looking for a specific answer.
"Well, some people call me Seven! As for titles though, I hold no more. Is something bothering you oh brave knight?"
"Bothering me? No. It does not bother me. But you did not mention to me that you can do magic."
Saeyoung did not stop walking but MC noticed that his shoulders tensed. He was only about a foot in front of her. He looked back and she saw the corner of his lips upturn slightly.
"Is that so? I wasn't planning on bringing it up so that is probably why, well...probably why I didn't!" He laughed but MC did not find it as entertaining as him.
"Well yes, after all, you are a mage." MC stopped walking, signalling that she was starting a heavier conversation between the two. "So you are like me. Hiding somewhere that accepts your differences because the rest of the lands fear what you do."
Saeyound let out a loud gasp and held his hands over his heart. "Oh Revolutionary Knight! Such filthy words you speak! The M word is forbidden across this land and many many others!"
She raised her brow at the man once more. Not playing along with his games. "But you are. That gate has to be manually operated but there was no one stationed at that point. You were perched on that post that was far to high and difficult to climb, and you are carrying those bags with such ease because you aren't really carrying them. They are hovering."
"Looks like you caught me oh wise and ruthless knight!" Saeyoung placed his hands behind his head, interlocking his fingers and using them as a pillow. He leaned back. Far enough to where he could lift his legs off the ground. He was levitating now, swinging side to side as if he were in an invisible hammock. "I have magic hands. It's true. And if you come to my chambers later I could even show you my crystal ball." He raised his eyebrows a time or two at MC. 
"I'll pass." MC hoisted herself up to sit on the half wall that was bordering the paved path they were walking. Saeyoung brought his feet back down to meet the the path and leaned against the wall. Putting his weight on his elbows. "You use magic so openly?"
"Within these walls, absolutely! These are my people! They love The Great Wizard Saeyoung!" He stood up and began to move his hands around gracefully, like he was summoning spells over a cauldron.
MC merely rolled her eyes. "I doubt that anyone calls you that."
Saeyoung floated himself to sit next to MC on top of the wall and he let out a soft sigh. "Listen, MC. You've heard of The Knights of the Round Table?" MC only nodded her head in response. "The great knight, Arthur Pendragon, who wields the legendary sword Excalibur. King Arthur who fights with his companion the great wizard, Merlin! That. That is you and I. Our destiny. What we are about to become. This Kingdom faces a great danger. The Empress of Magenta and her Mint army. They will come soon. And when that time comes, you and I will stop her! Together. The Valiant Knight and Extraordinary Wizard! THE FAMOUS DUO! MC AND SEVEN! SEVEN AND MC! WITH THEIR STEEL AND MAGIC! HEROES OF C&R!" He flung his arms towards the sky but gave himself a little too much momentum. The enthusiastic story teller lost balance and tumbled backwards. The path they were walking and the wall they were perched on were not high, but the drop behind them was pretty significant.
"Saeyoung!" MC shouted after him, hopping off of the wall and grabbing his wrist.
"Nice catch, MC! But there was really no need to get so worked up. I mean...you know...legendary wizard and all." He smirked and MC pulled him up over the ledge. Instead of sitting back on the wall they settled for leaning against it.
"Sure, all of that sounds exciting Saeyoung but Arthur and Merlin? They are just legends, myths."
"So were you, MC. The Revolutionary Knight. But here you are, right in front of me. Coming to help our lowly little kingdom."
A million thoughts began to rush through MC's head and she leaned in silence. The energetic red haired man she had met only minutes ago was trying to convince her of this tale about a disgraced maiden on the run, turned hero. She didn't want to be a house wife, a simple maiden or the princess to some kingdom she didn't care for just because of a sham marriage. So she became a fighter and a rogue, knowing it was not how things are supposed to work. Once that facade came crashing down she was an outlaw. And now she is back in someone's kingdom, under someones rule but she is an authority. All of these thoughts where overwhelming but she knew as the "Revolutionary Knight" she didn't have time to dwell. She was to push forward.
"Well," She pushed herself off of the wall and collected her sack and satchel from the ground. "If we are going to become legendary heroes to be remembered...It's a good thing you're handsome."
Caught off guard by the comment, Saeyoungs cheeks flushed. Then he rushed after MC who had made it quite away's ahead of him. 
"So are you rethinking your answer to meeting me in my chambers later?" The magician teased.
"Absolutely not."
Saeyoung huffed at MC's blatant response. They walked in a comfortable silence for a moment until the atrocious roar of MC's intestines burst forth.
"Aha! Our hero is hungry! It just so happens I know where to find the best chef in the kingdom!" Saeyoung grabbed MC's forearm and jerked her into a new direction. "This way! Off to see the kingdoms royal chef! Who not only is the best chef, but he is also the cutest." Saeyoung laughed to himself as he drug MC off to a separate place other than the main entrance to the castle. There was still a bit of time before she had to meet with Prince Jumin.

Andromeda
I know my main character’s name is Andromeda - THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MASS EFFECT I’M SORRY. It was a Intro to Fiction writing assignment and I’m really proud of it. This is a fairy tale I wrote myself.
Once upon a time, long long ago, there lived a knight and his page. The knight was gallant, heroic, and very handsome, or so he thought of himself. The reality of the man was a bit lacking. The page was a scrappy little girl of no particular heroics and a habit for collecting useless junk, or so the knight thought. The reality of the girl was quite a bit beyond the knight’s understanding. The knight was Sir Perth, and the girl was Andromeda. Together they completed many quests and in time the knight was a hero of many kingdoms, but not Andromeda. She was often overlooked and forgotten.
Who was she really? Just a scrappy nobody commoner following after the hero knight chasing, his glory. That was what the others thought of her, at least when they noticed her at all.
Andromeda was a quiet girl, who obeyed her master, even though he never noticed her accomplishments over his own. She did everything for him; she cooked for him, set up the man’s tent and banner whenever they made camp, cleaned his armor and sharpened his sword, did his laundry, and even cared for his horse, the only one so far to appreciate the girl’s efforts.
Because of the amount of work expected of her by her ungrateful master, Andromeda had little time for herself. But when she did, she liked to walk alone somewhere for a while. While on a walk she would find various things that interested her and pocket them. It was never stealing, because they were things found in nature, owned only by the wider world and God Himself. And these things that interested young Andromeda were rarely things other people cared to own. Flower petals, yellowed leaves, oddly bent branches, colorful stones; these were Andromeda’s treasures.
Once when walking through a trade town while her mentor was out shopping, Andromeda found a tomato in the gutter somewhere, forgotten and left behind by a food vendor. Andromeda picked it up, intrigued by its perfect red color.
“This must be the reddest of all reds,” she concluded, studying her find. She later showed it to her mentor, who took it from her hand and promptly threw it at a street entertainer who’s routine offended him. The knight gave a bawdy laugh at the sight of the tomato’s reddest juices oozing all over the unfortunate street performer’s face.  Later he only said “Next time, find a more rotten tomato. Tossing them is funnier that way.”
A few days after that incident they were in service of a duke with a crying duchess. The two men plotted together that the only away to get the duchess to stop crying was to give her a gift that would fill her heart with joy.
Andromeda went to the gardens of the duke’s castle and found there a rose of the most innocent pink, and a rock of a most unusual shape – perfectly round like a ball. When she presented her gifts to the knight, the duke, and the duchess, the knight scoffed at the unappealing stone but swiped the rose from her hands to present to the duchess himself. The duchess was pleased with the gift.
Andromeda dropped her stone ball then, and it rolled to the foot of the duchess’ throne before splitting into two to reveal a stunning agate. At the sight of such a beautiful gemstones inside she burst into tears of joy. The duke was so thankful to the knight that he commissioned a new sword and shield to be made of the finest materials, and hosted a feast in his honor.
Andromeda was forgotten in all the festivities.
The feast lasted a full three days. On the first day Andromeda took a walk in the gardens at high noon, when the sun was shining in full glory. She found a forgotten candle, and brought it inside. When lit, she exclaimed that it had the brightest flame of any candle she had ever seen. She named it Sun’s Torch and kept it as one of her treasures.
On the second day the knight had Andromeda working so hard and so long she could not find time to herself until late that night, when the moon was full and shining but shadowy clouds started blocking away the stars. Andromeda spied a great stone fountain with sculpted dolphins spurting water everywhere. There was something shiny in the fountain, reflecting the light of the full moon. Andromeda waded in the fountain and plucked the curious object out of the cool waters. It was a dagger, a bit rusted about the blade but still looked serviceable. Andromeda named it Moonblade and added it to her sack of treasures.
On the third day the sky was overcast with clouds, a dark angry blue poking out from between darker angrier storm clouds. Andromeda was walking along the garden’s path, head down hoping to find another agate to take with her when she and Sir Perth both inevitably left the duke’s hospitality. She found no perfectly round balls this time, but did find something far more intriguing. It looked to her to be a piece of the sky had fallen to earth before her. On the ground was a piece of blue with part of a cloud showing. She hesitantly picked it up, the sky disappeared, replaced by a reflection of her eye. It was a piece from a broken mirror. Andromeda angled the mirror so it reflected the sky once more and decided to keep it as a treasure.  
That evening, during the third and final day of feasting, Sir Perth and Andromeda were approached by a mysterious stranger. He was an old man hidden behind dark robes, when he removed his hood Andromeda could see that his eyes were clouded over with blindness.
The man spoke to them of a dungeon nearby this castle, wherein lies a gauntlet of traps and monsters which guarded a secret treasure trove of some long lost king. The old man claimed he was no fit to hazard the gauntlet himself, so he offered to lead them there and offer up a portion of the treasure in exchange for their protection. The knight, drunk on praise and wine, instantly agreed to the new quest. Andromeda was weary.
“How do you know the way to the dungeon if you can’t see?” she asked the blind man.
“My eyes may be blind but I can still see in other ways,” said the blind man.
“I do not understand you sir,” Andromeda said.
“Old wise men are rarely understood, but we are seen,” said the blind man cryptically, “Whereas little girls like yourself are said to be seen and not heard. Yet I can see that with you that is not the case. You are neither seen nor heard.”
Andromeda did not understand what the old man was trying to tell her.
“Do you mean to say you are deaf as well as blind, old man?” Andromeda asked. The blind man just smiled. Andromeda reasoned that since he did answer her first question, he must be able to hear at least some of the time. Selective deafness was amongst the most trying of all adult conditions, she had found.
In the morning the old man lead Sir Perth and Andromeda into an old growth forest to the ruins of some long forgotten castle. In the lowest part of the ruins they found a door, painted a stunning reddish brownish white. It looked to Andromeda to be the color of the sun made paint.
“Hark,” the blind man said, “There lies the door to the gauntlet. Be wary, for the gauntlet is made to test the cleverness and resourcefulness of the would-be hero. If we fail, the dungeon shall kill us.”
“I am no coward!” Sir Perth exclaimed in response to the blind man’s warning, “And I am no fool. Let this dungeon test me. It shall see I am worthy of its treasure. Girl, open the door.”
Andromeda dutifully opened the door as her mentor unsheathed his brand new sword and charged recklessly forth. She and the blind man followed more slowly. They were swallowed by darkness as the door closed behind them.
“Ow!” came Sir Perth voice.
“What is it?” Andromeda cried out to her mentor.
“I ran into a wall!” he cried, “Why what trickery is this? The front entrance itself is a dead end!”
“Not a dead end,” said the blind man, “You just passed the passage we need to take. The first challenge of the gauntlet be the Labyrinth of Infinite Darkness. We must navigate the maze to move on to the next challenge.”
“How do you expect me to solve a maze when I cannot see past my own nose? Why, I cannot see my nose at all!”
“Sadly, good sir, the only way to banish the darkness is with the light of the sun itself,” was the blind man’s answer.
It was then that Andromeda had an idea. She took from her pack Sun’s Torch and a match to light it. Once the candle was lit, the darkness receded, just as the blind man had said. She could now see the mysterious old man next to her, as well as her mentor Sir Perth before her.
“Excellent!” Sir Perth said, grabbing the candle out of Andromeda’s hands, “I always remember to bring a spare torch. And here be the passage to the next part of the maze. Oh good for – what? Another dead end?”
Even with the light of Sun’s Torch, it took them the greater part of three hours to navigate the never-ending twists and turns and dead ends of the maze. By the time they found a second door the candle was nearly gone from melted wax.
This second door was the color of the most perfect silver, near reflective in its qualities. Andromeda was reminded of the night of the full moon when she found her little dagger, Moonblade. She took the dagger from her sack now, feeling she might somehow need it.
Sir Perth opened the door and all three companions cautiously entered under the last light of the dyeing Sun’s Torch. Beyond it was a long hall, the pathway through which was flanked by twelve rows of armor stands, each a complete knight’s set, with even weapons clutched in their gauntleted hands. At the end of the hall there was a final knight on a pedestal, its armor made of black and silver metal. It wielded a ball and chain mace. Behind it was a third door.
“Well this seems easy enough,” said Sur Perth cheerfully as he stepped forward.
“Too easy,” cautioned Andromeda, clutching Moonblade to her chest as she followed her mentor.
“Be weary,” warned the blind man, following last, “These armor statues might not have eyes, but they can see into our hearts. They will judge us, seeking injustice and cowardice. Only righteous bravery can strike them down.”
“I am no coward!” Sir Perth whined. He nearly said something else when they heard a loud creaking sound from ahead. The armor stand at the end of the hall was moving!
The apparently enchanted armor stepped off its pedestal to stand before the baffled knight, a ball and chain weapon raised in its gauntleted hands. Sir Perth raised his sword to the other knight and attempted to swing at it. The blade clanged harmlessly against the breastplate of the opposing knight. Its free hand grasped Perth sword and yanked it forcefully out of his hands before throwing it across the hallway to impale deeply in the stone wall behind them.
Unarmed, Sir Perth could only cower behind his shield as his opponent raised its mace. The knight’s shield, although shiny and made of precious metals, was never built to withstand battle. The enchanted armor’s mace bashed through the knight’s shield as though it were made of nothing more than aluminum foil, leaving a deep mace-shaped dent in the now useless shield.
The other knight raised his mace for a killing blow when Andromeda acted. She ran in front of her mentor, Moonblade in hand, and stabbed at the other knight. Unlike the gilded longsword, the old steel dagger pierced through the breastplate, right where the heart would be if the armor were filled with a person instead of magic.
The armor screamed so loud it made their ears ring, as the magic inside it flashed blinding blue light. Andromeda and Sir Perth both shielded their eyes from the light. The armor’s screams ceased as the magic holding it together escaped from the wound caused by the dagger.
“I don’t believe it,” said Sir Perth, when both he and Andromeda could see and hear normally again.
“Me too,” Andromeda said, “It looks like my little Moonblade was sharper than we first imag-“
“My strike must have been delayed somehow. Perhaps the magic in the armor?” the knight interrupted her.
“What?” Andromeda stammered, “Did-didn’t you see the cut I made? With my Moonblade? I thought –“
“Your little dagger must have opened up my wound in the armor’s chest, and for that we are lucky. Now come Girl, Blind Man. We have treasure to find!” The knight charged ahead towards the final door. The blind man followed silently behind him, leaving Andromeda standing baffled in the scattered pieces of the once enchanted armor. Now Andromeda couldn’t believe it. Even after saving his life the knight still refused to notice her involvement.
She sighed in defeat before running after her mentor and their quest giver. She caught up just as the knight was reaching for the final door, painted a threatening dark gray, like storm clouds right before they spilled rain.
The knight opened the door. On the other side was a sight that took their breath away. It was the mother of all treasure rooms. There were mountains made of gold and rolling hills made of silver. There were dozens of large oaken chests, lids thrown open and overstuffed with a rainbow of sparkling gemstones. There were pearly white statues of unicorns and dragons perched between the mountains, and marble busts of kings and queens perched on bejeweled pillars. In all their lives, the companions had never seen so much wealth before.
“Be weary, brave knight, for this treasure is guarded by a most fearsome beast,” the blind man announced. He pointed his finger to one of the nearby gold mountains. “Hark, there! Shifting of the coins. The guardian comes for us.”
CURROW, CURROW!
There was a dreadful crowing coming from behind the gold, so loud and frightening it hurt the companion’s ears.
“Be weary friends! This beast is a basilisk! Do not look at it or you will perish!” the blind man called out over the monster’s crows.
The knight put two hands over his eyes immediately, whimpering and shaking in fear in his own armor. Andromeda turned her body away from the beast’s direction. The old man did nothing to shield his eyes from the oncoming basilisk. This creature’s weapon was its poisonous sight, yet the old man’s blind eyes were immune to its gaze.
Andromeda was thinking frantically how to get out of this situation. She could try to slay the basilisk with her Moonblade, but with her sight impaired how could she hope to land a killing blow. She’d simply stumble around just as clumsily as Sir Perth with her hand over her eyes, swinging the dagger wildly around, and the basilisk would easily cut her down with tooth and claw. She had to find a way to see the basilisk without it killing her.
She reached into her bag and brought out her piece of the sky – the broken mirror shard. No longer reflecting the clouds above it showed instead the gold and gems behind her shoulder. Andromeda wondered, since she would never survive the basilisk’s naked gaze, would the reflected gaze of the creature be rendered harmless? She would have to risk it.
Angling the mirror to the best view of the treasure room, she saw the basilisk come out of hiding. It was an uncommonly ugly beast. The basilisk’s body was long and serpentine, covered with scales of a most unfortunately ugly shade of green and yellow. It had 2 clawed chicken’s feet and two bat-shaped wings flaring behind its back. Worst, the basilisk’s head was shaped like that of a particularly large and angry green rooster.
The basilisk’s eyes never saw Andromeda. Instead they found its own eyes reflected back at it in the broken mirror. For the first time it saw itself; the scaly serpentine tail, the bat-like wings and the rooster’s head, the glowing crimson irises filled with hate. Then it saw nothing.
The basilisk’s squawk cut short. After a moment of silence Andromeda looked up from behind her hand to find the beast’s lower half was now stone. She risked looking further up, and found its shoulders and wings were stone too. As was the creature’s head. Andromeda couldn’t read the faces of animals very well, but she could swear the monster’s face was petrified in an expression of fear.
She found Sir Perth quivering behind a pillar. When he realized the basilisk was no more he straightened and regained his composure.
“Excellent!” the knight exclaimed, “Now that the monster is dead I shall claim its treasure! Come Girl, empty the sack of that garbage so it may be filled with gold and jewels.”
Andromeda frowned at her mentor. She didn’t want to give up her treasures. But she unshouldered her pack and removed Moonblade and laid it down on the ground beside her piece of the sky. The knight gleefully took the bag from her and began filling it with handfuls of shining coins.
Andromeda wandered around the treasure room. She found something to interest her, an old piece of folded cloth wedged beneath one of the chests. She pulled it free to find it was an ancient map, brown with age. It showed the location of a new dungeon, with its own riches, a new quest.
She was about to show the map to Sir Perth when she hesitated.
“I see you are finally rethinking your partnership,” said the old man suddenly.
“I cannot leave Sir Perth,” Andromeda insisted, “He could never live without me.”
“I can see that. He is far more dependent on you than you are of him. But are you willing to live your entire life in the shadow of a fool and a coward?” the old man questioned.
“I – no I don’t. I don’t want to be never seen and never heard anymore, and I don’t want to be seen and not heard. I want to be both seen and heard!” Andromeda came to a realization, finally understanding what the old man had been saying to her all along.  
“I want to be an adventurer by myself someday,” she continued, “To have my own quests. I want to find my own treasures and keep them for myself. I do not want to be ignored anymore, and I do not want my treasures to be called garbage ever again.” Andromeda said it all with a certainty she didn’t know she had.
“Then do those things. Use that map, and whatever treasures you find in your travels. Leave Sir Perth here, he has claimed enough treasure here he can happily retire to some fare off castle with a princess bride. He has achieved his dream, and will have no further use for you. Go live your own dreams for yourself.” the old man beckoned.
Andromeda nodded and ran back to where she left Moonblade and her piece of the sky, wrapped them up in her map and left out the back door without ever taking a coin. The door was a bright clean white, the color of hope.
The End

[SFW] Reader is a Mermaid and McCree/Hanzo/Rein doesn’t know
Tumblr media
Reinhardt Wilhem
Reinhardt puffed up with pride as the waitress escorted you to his table. You were without a doubt the most beautiful woman in the room. Men stole furtive glances as you walked by. Women watched you with unbridled envy. But the only person who mattered was standing chivalrously next to your pulled out chair. "Ah mein liebchen! You are stunning! Tonight I am truly the luckiest man alive." Rein bowed and place a quick peck on the back of each hand. The man was an expert on all niceties. You let a rosy blush color those radiant cheekbones. "You flatter me Reinhardt. After a year are you still so enamored? I would have thought you'd grown tired of seeing me!"
"Never! Without you I am half the man I could ever be." He poured you a glass of wine and flagged a waiter to take your orders. Seeing him so jovial, a pang of guilt knotted itself in your stomach. Once the food was settled and you two had a moment, you spoke, "Reinhardt my love. I have something I need to tell you. After dinner, might we talk a walk along the river?" He furrowed his brow, if only for an instant, before smiling at you once more. "Anything you want. Tonight is your night." You corrected him, "Our night leibe, our night."
As promised, the two of you walked arm in arm down the boardwalk looking rather fance in a green satin dress and tuxedo respectively. "Tell me my dear, what was on your mind?" You smiled fondly. He always did cut to the chase. "Well... It is difficult to say..." Sensing your apprehension only made him hold you tighter. "Do you remember reading Peter Pan as a boy?" He nodded. "And I know you love those stories of knights and dragons and all kinds of mythical creatures..." He nodded again, this time a confused look creeping into his features. "Mein leibchen, what does this have to do with anything?"
The two of you had come to a secluded bench surrounded by trees and high walls. You guided him to sit and took your place next to him. There was a slight chill in the air and the leaves began to turn. Rain, as forcasted, was on its way. "What if I told you that you could live out those stories in real life? You could be the hero with his magical temptress? You could be Peter with his mermaids?" Reinhardt burst out laughing in that loud, belly busting way he favored. "Oh that is a good one dear. And how exactly am I going to do that? Is Overwatch not enough for you?" A few drops of rain landed on your cheek.
"Reinhardt I'm being serious. I need you to hear me, to understand. I... I am not a regular woman..." The rain began to fall in earnest. Your clothes were quickly soaked through. It wouldn't be long now. "I am a mermaid, Reinhardt. And I want you to be my one and only love." Reinhardt seemed genuinely concerned, "Are you feeling alright leibchen? It's not like you to talk such nonsense. You used to chastize me for my foolish dreams. What are you playing at?" Under the starlight, hidden by your long dress, legs were melting together to form a glorious opalescent tail. In a few moments he would see.
"Promise me you'll always love me, mo matter what. Promise me, Reinhardt." There was fear in your voice. Your doting lover would have none of that. He took your hands in his and looked you right in those beautiful green eyes. "I will love you now and forever more. This I promise you." And then he sealed his promise with true love's kiss. It took everything you had and more to pull away but the time had come. Trembling hands pulled up your skirts to reveal what you'd hidden for so long. A silvery tail that shone like moonlight on the sea. Reinhardt's eyes widened. He couldn't believe his eyes! You watched him carefully for any sign of acceptance. But of course, he wasted no time.
"You're a mermaid! It's true!" A childlike joy overwhelmed his senses. "Ever since I was a boy I wanted nothing more than to be a valiant knight from a fairytale. And here you are, a gift from God, to make my dreams come true! Oh mein leibchen, fear not. I will stand by you from now until the end of time."
Jesse McCree
"I don't want this day to end!" You and that ruggedly handsome cowboy found yourselves nestled in a hammock, watching the sun rush towards the earth despite all your best wishes. Tomorrow Jesse had to leave with his Deadlock brothers. This was just a short vacation while runners gathered drugs and weapons from every corner of Mexico. "Neither do I darlin' but time stops for no man. Why don't we make the most of what's left?" Callused hands roamed over your bare stomach, making their way below the belt while he covered you in rough kisses. As much as you'd have liked to make passionate love under the stars, night marched ever closer and with it, your darkest secret.
For just over a month you'd courted this foolhardy man and he'd never even questioned your early curfew. Perhaps it was that old fashioned southern respect. Or maybe he didn't care as long has needs were met. Either way, tonight was the night all would be revealed.
"Let's go swimming in the Rio Grande. I know the perfect spot. Nobody will see us. We can even go skinny dipping." You flashed him that mischevious smile he'd grown to love. He wrinkled his nose and pouted, "Mmm, I liked my idea better but whatever makes you happy." You pulled him off the hammock with surprising strength. "You'll get over it. Besides, I thought you loved the thrill of adventure?" Unfortunately McCree didn't exactly see adventure in a few laps across the river. Still he followed diligently, eager for any chance to grope that wonderful body of yours.
The last rays of sunshine were wasting away by the time you'd torn off your clothes and dove into the warm waters. Jesse took his time to hang that precious hat on a tree branch and threw his clothes in a messy pile. "What do you say we play a little Marco Polo?" It wasn't a bad suggestion. As he waded into the water you swam a ways off. His arms were reaching out trying to grab you unawares. A little splashing, a little giggling, a little underwater fondling. All the while your nightly transformation had begun.
The worst of it was the legs. You skin knit itself together mid-kick causing you to cry out in pain. McCree's eyes snapped open, "You okay darlin'? Must have stepped on a rock." But your eyes were pressed shut. He swam over and pulled you close, not realizing the changes happening just below the surface. Scales were pushing their way through your flesh like a million little razors. Your neck, concealed by long locks of hair, split open to form gills. Concerned for your wellbeing, he placed his hands on either side of your head and tried to meet your gaze. "Tell me what to do. Do you need a doctor?" You looked up with a grimace revealing glowing blue eyes. He startled and took a step back. "What the heck?!"
You reached out without hesitation but your arms had formed webbed fins along the side. He pushed you away and stumbled back towards the shore. "McCree wait, please! I wanted to tell you!" That powerful tail, now fully formed, propelled you towards your lover. He scuttled on hands and elbows until he was sitting in the surf. You pulled yourself as close to shore as you dared. Bioluminescent spots dotted your collarbone, shoulders, and cheeks. Your eyes pulsed with energy. "I just couldn't find the words..."
Jesse rubbed his eyes, hoping to wake up from some strange fever dream. And yet there you were, in all your beauty. He struggled to comprehend what lay before him. And, as was custom with anything emotionally taxing on the cowboy, he shut down and tried to run away. "Listen hun, I've had a good run with ya. But this... This is too much... What were you expecting to happen? I just up and quit the gang to live out some fairytale on the Rio Grande? Well that just ain't fair! You don't just put this on a fella. Certainly not a guy like me..." You looked up at him full of hurt and despair. He was right though. Part of you was praying for a miracle, that maybe he'd see the light and start over with you. That you'd be enough. That you were worth it. But you weren't. You were just another bump in the road for a troubled boy pretending to be a man.
Hanzo Shimada
A salty ocean wind blew over the boat carrying Hanzo and the old fisherman. Century old wood creaked and groaned. The few women willing to sail the small ship worked in fearful silence. No one dared speak lest the beast be summoned forth. On the coast of Kyoto a village of fisherman's wives had pooled their earnings to hire the tattooed mercenary. Their husbands and sons, one by one, had gone missing. Hanzo was skeptical of their claims but having been paid up front was forced to make an appearance. He'd listened to desolate daughters cry about fathers waking up from the deepest slumber and walking out into the rolling sea. He'd consoled the mothers weeping over sons possessed by some haunting melody. These people blessed him with salt and sand and begged him to bring their loved ones home.
They sailed for a strip of land off the coast. The women whispered of ghostly lights floating over the island and an unholy fog settling on the shore. As the sandbar took shape, Hanzo ordered the crew to stop short and lower him in a rowboat. The ship was to turn back and leave him be. This hunt was his and his alone.
That bitter wind roared and brought with it a dense fog. By the light of a rusted lantern, he made landfall. Hanzo stalked the beach with an arrow notched and eyes scouring the horizon. A soft glow emanated from dense verdant foliage. It seemed to shift and bend with the billowing of the leaves. For now he walked the shoreline. Up ahead a ways the ocean pushed into the earth and created a dark pool. The water bubbled ominously and Hanzo pulled back the string on his bow. He peered down and saw nothing but shadow. Fog swirled on the surface, obscuring the depths. Hanzo let fly an arrow into the murky waters; a wretched screech shattered the stillness of the night.
The archer readied his bow once more but tentacles had shot up from the water, slithering around his ankles, dragging him down. Another slimy appendage wrapped around his waste. More still latched onto the rocks around the pool. Whatever beast was killing these men had chosen Hanzo as its next victim. But he was no ordinary man! And this monster had made a fatal mistake. Hanzo fired into the water, shouting his family's mystic words, "Ryuu ga waga teki wo kurau!"
Brilliant blue dragons dove into the waters with righteous purpose. Smoke and screams sprung up with fury. The tentacles fell off leaving behind angry red marks. Just as Hanzo breathed a sigh of relief, a sickly green hand clawed into the sand. But this horrifying turn of events wasn't what sent a chill down the man's spine. No. The all too familiar charm bracelet cutting into curdled flesh brought Hanzo to his knees.
"My love... It cannot be... How? What are you?!" Dragging yourself dying onto the beach, you looked up into his eyes, searching for forgivness under all that hurt. Blood poured from your mouth when you choked out your apologies, "Dearest one. I tried to protect you... To hide this curse..." He recoiled from your touch. "Please... I am not long for this world..." Some fragile part of him crumbled under this burden. Tears welled up and burned their way down stubborn cheeks. "You killed all those men, those boys! How could you do such a thing? How could you hide this evil part of you for so long? Did our time together mean nothing?" A lovelorn smile cracked your poisonous lips. "All these questions dearest. You'll die before you have the answers. Please understand... I was never meant to fall in love. Death and destruction are my lot. But next to you? I am nothing but a weak, foolish creature." You gasped and coughed up blackened fluid. "Our time was a stolen gift. And so to repay the favor, this I give this to you. Freedom. Notch one more arrow my love, let your aim be true.
