Baby's Breath

Themes: Fluff, a little bit of angst? Sebastian Sallow x F!Reader (Reader's house can be up to you!)

Summary: (SPOILER FOR HOGWARTS LEGACY ENDING) You're asking Sebastian Sallow who will he take to the Yule Ball.

Author's Note: So... This is my first fanfic(after a while). I played Hogwarts Legacy and I love Sebastian's questline and his story. I'd thought I wrote a little bit of a story after the main HL story. Based on the marriage question???? scene from the first Avatar movie.

A year has passed since the massive battle with Ranrok, as well as the murder of Solomon Sallow. You, Anne, and Ominis had decided to not turn Sebastian in. The weight of killing his own family member was tormenting enough for the teen, there was absolutely no need of putting him behind bars at Azkaban. Despite the darkness that has been brewing inside Sebastian, his friends still have much love for him. Especially you.

You didn't think much of it at first. Why, Sebastian Sallow was notorious for being the Slytherin bad boy. Dodging detentions here and there, and persistently asking his schoolmates to duel in his not-so-unsanctioned-secret-dueling club. One would think that this boy was a menace. But you know that he was more than that. Sebastian was smart, curious, relentless, outgoing, kind, cunning, and obviously as ambitious as a Slytherin could be. As if the boy couldn't be more perfect, he has the most beautiful hazel eyes you've ever seen. You particularly noticed the tiny freckles that adorned his face — you swear you could see constellations if you connected the dots.

Getting back to your relationship before the incidents was not easy. Ominis and Anne took their time to make small talk and joke around with Sebastian. You, on the other hand, shared a kinship. You also wielded the unforgivable curses with him. You often found yourself between Sebastian's arms, finding consolation from the responsibilities of being the so-called Hogwarts Hero who possessed the Ancient Magic. There was also a time when Sebastian broke down in your arms, feeling guilty for being too absored in the Dark Arts. Nevertheless, time is the best healer as you both were able to cope and live somewhat normally in school.

After all that you both have been through, there was never a point where you confessed to each other. Yes, you hugged and comforted each other. You swore you felt him kissed your forehead once. Perhaps it's the archaic rule of courting in the 19th century that your guardians had been drilling into your brain. Or perhaps you're just too scared of being rejected and loosing the closest friend in your life.

⁂✲＊⁂✲＊⁂

You shifted your feet back and forth, hearing the snow rustling underneath your platform shoes. Merlin's beard, you thought, where in the world is Sebastian? Saying that it's freezing in Hogsmeade is an understatement. The wind blew past your ears as you cursed yourself for putting your hair in an updo today. You jumped as you felt hands tickled your sides, "Hey!" you shouted, turning around. Sebastian grinned, "Sorry, 'had to pick up something earlier." He patted your head, which prompted a red blush spreading across your face. "Shall we?" He offered his hand as you head into The Three Broomsticks. Nothing like a full glass of Butterbeer can make you feel better, especially with Sebastian as your company. This is how you both liked to spend the weekends after a tedious week full of classes and homework. The outing almost ended with You and Sebastian racing on the broom, cruising over the lake until you both reached the rickety docks in Lower Hogsfield, looking over the school.

"That was a good race. Obviously, I was here first." The boy puffed his chest.

You rolled your eyes, "Sure, consider yourself lucky that we're alone 'cause I literally landed first!"

Sebastian and you playfully bantered, pushing each others' broom. He accidentally pushed a bit too hard which sent you flying back. "Oop-!" you yelped as you felt his swift hands caught your back and pulled you close to him. Too close. You felt your chest pressed against Sebastian. Godrick's Heart, did he grow taller? You also swore he was not this strong and muscular before. Puberty years did work wonders for teen boys. Feeling his warm breath against your face, you started to panic and gently pushed him away. You swore you could see a hint of disappointment in his face.

"So," you cleared your throat, "The Yule ball is coming soon. I, uh, heard that you're supposed to look for your own date." You paced around the dock, afraid to look at Sebastian. "Have you thought about who you're going to ask?" You bitterly questioned him. A part of you was a bit disappointed that Sebastian didn't ask you when the ball was announced. You'd expect him to take you, even as friends. The thoughts of Sebastian secretly having a crush without telling you made your guts churn. It's not like other boys haven't asked either, Garreth Weasley was very sweet, offering an enhanced (his words) Wiggenweld potion warped in a bow with an invitation to the ball. You were flattered, but you thought there wasn't a point of going without the boy you actually had a crush on.

"I thought about it." Sebastian calmly said, using his wand to cast Levioso, levitating a rock and flung it to the lake.

"Oh..." you gulped. "May I know who?" You wanted to slap yourself for asking, why would you want to hear answers that will hurt? You still have your back facing Sebastian.

"Guess!" and there's Sebastian Sallow, never making it easy for you.

You used your wand to flung some pebbles into the water. "Well, Imelda Reyes is an amazing flyer. I bet you learned a flying trick or two from her," You smiled bitterly, "Plus, you both are in the same house, so I bet you're close with her?"

You could hear his laugh. "No way, I'm not keen on being ridiculed by Imelda." Sebastian flung more rocks into the water.

"I guess Natty is a good option too. She's brilliant, probably the kindest person I've ever met-"

"What about me?" Sebastian joked, "I'm also kind."

You rolled your eyes. "Also she has a professor as a parent, like you."

"It's not Natty, too... Gryffindor for me," He shook his head, "Don't get me wrong, Natty's a good friend. But she's just a friend for me."

"What about Poppy? She's the cutest girl in school. I think her passion for the beasts is amazing too." You chimed.

Sebastian shook his head again. "Nope, not her."

You raked your brain, thinking about the rest of your schoolmates. You didn't even notice Sebastian's footsteps inching closer to you.

"Ominis?" you blurted out, now facing Sebastian. Hearing your question, he made a face and blurted out an explosive laugh. "I mean I would, but he probably would kill me first," he wiped a tear from his eyes, "no, not my dear friend Ominis Gaunt."

"I give up!" You held up your hands, "I don't know who you have in mind."

Sebastian lets out a sigh. "There is this girl," he stood close to you, "She is beautiful, brave, and possesses an ability like no other. She's always eager to beat me in duels and learn new things. This girl is always there for me, through thick and thin. Even though I was a sodding disappointment of a mate, she still greets me with a warm smile. I don't think I could be here right now without her."

Your breath hitched, feeling warmth crept around your face. Sebastian's face is turning red as well. He took your hands in his, caressing your fingers softly. You can feel your body heating up despite the cold air. "I'm glad you came to Hogwarts. Having you in my life was the best present the universe gave me." He reached inside his pocket and presented you with a corsage decorated with baby's breath and baby blue ribbon. "I was going to give it to you tomorrow. But since we're having this conversation..." He smiled, face red as ever, "Will you go to the ball with me-"

Sebastian didn't get to finish his sentence before you crashed your lips against him. You could feel electricity sparked all over your body, butterflies flying all over your stomach. It seemed like forever, feeling his soft lips molded with yours. His hands rested on your waist, gently pulling you closer. You snaked your hands around his neck, entangling your fingers in his brown locks.

You broke the kiss, resting your forehead against his. "I'd take that as a yes?" Sebastian whispered. You nod, couldn't get a word out of your mouth. He smiled, peppering small kisses on your cheeks before capturing your lips for another kiss.

He pulled back, took your hand, and wrapped the corsage around your wrist. "You know, I had to do a bunch of tasks to have Professor Garlick help me grow this flower." He chuckles, admiring how the flowers looked on you.

"Sebastian.. I-" You grinned widely, "Thank you. I would love to go to the ball with you." You couldn't help but to wrap your arms around him again. "Why baby's breath?"

"Well, darling, they said it's the symbol of everlasting love."

The End or The Beginning

Vincent De Gramont x Reader

Summary: In order to save John's life. You offer yours.

You were a really good assassin. Many fought to have you work for them.

John was a really old friend of yours.

You knew him even before he left.

In your eyes, John was a difficult man.

He wanted out, then he wanted in and now he wants out again?

He said he wanted to be free. But freedom is all he had.

You understood the reason he took revenge. You understood that Santino didn't give him a second choice.

But you were a firm believer that freedom starts within. And then you can achieve it.

John was never free.

He might have buried his guns. But he never buried the assassin within him.

And now, now you had to yet again, save his ass.

But The Marquis was a completely different case.

You heard about him and you also knew that this fight against John might never fully stop.

So, you had a simple offer.

"I'll work for you and in exchange you and the High Table leave John Wick alone. He will be a free man and you get to have me on your side." a simple offer. Anyone would be stupid to say no.

You were legendary.

But you also had a feeling that the Marquis would be too smart to give up John Wick and too cunning to give up the opportunity of you working for him.

You knew he would try and make you work for him.

So, you were careful with him. You heard about him after all.

When he asked you into his office so he can give you an answer, you were happy to walk in and not only put on a show, but also enjoy it.

You knew this would be difficult, but you were ready.

Or so you thought.

You certainly were not ready for the gorgeous red and black suit he was wearing.

You were not ready for the handsome face waiting for you.

You honestly thought the Marquis would be an older man like Winston.

But you were wrong.

Very wrong.

He was handsome, smart, looked good in a suit and he had power.

He was tall, lean yet muscular, and that accent...

You thought you had the upper hand... you were wrong.

Very wrong.

And judging by the smirk on his face, he was aware of it as well.

You watched him as he was thinking about your proposition.

You were honestly ready for almost any idea he would have.

You were ready for him to come up with something where John would still need to die.

You even thought he might somehow go as far as having you kill John.

"Would you die for John Wick?" he suddenly asked.

"Die for him?"

"Yes, would you?"

You had to think for a second.

"No."

"Then why offer your services for the rest of your life in order to save his?"

"Because I'm sick and tired of it. Ever since he killed that asshole's son, all I hear is how great he is. All I see is my friends die to his hands."

"Then why not kill him yourself?"

"Because John and I took a vow to never fight against one another. And he has lost so much already, death would be kind to him." Vincent looked you up and down, trying to find the catch in your whole story.

"I'll take your offer. You will work for me and Jock Wick shall be forever forgotten and left alone. But you already knew I would take the offer right?"

"If not you, someone else would have."

---

You working for Vincent made you two become closer by the day.

You learned a lot about him and his work ethic.

To say that you were rather used to it after a couple hours would be difficult to say, but you got used to him way too quickly.

Some would say alarmingly too fast.

But in this industry, you had to.

Or at least that is what you told yourself so that your mind would be at ease.

But both you and Vincent knew that you were just as crazy as him.

You both knew that he liked you just as much as you liked him.

And fuck... he looked way too good in a suit!

He invited you as his guard to an event.

The man was basically a walking full-course meal, it was hard to concentrate.

The event in question was a charity where they were selling all kinds of things.

Expensive things.

Very expensive things.

Vincent said he was only there to be present because there are powerful people present.

But he also said if you wished to bid for an item, go for it.

And an item did catch your eye. It was a beautiful opal necklace. It was sold as a cursed item.

"This beautiful necklace was once owned by Mrs Melony Jones. It was said she was a witch and she cursed the necklace. Many believe the deaths of the owners following were due to this curse. Starting price is 200,000 dollars."

There was something about it. You had to have it.

And in the end, it was yours. For only 575,000 dollars, you were the happy new owner of the opal necklace.

Vincent watched you closely during the entire thing. He had never seen you so excited about something, it was good to see your passion because you just had to have the necklace.

In the end, the necklace was given to you in a sealed box with a caution note.

"Cursed item... you have quite the taste."

"Something about this is just so beautiful."

"Maybe that it was found next to a decapitated woman?" he asked with a smirk.

"At least you know what happened to me if I die."

"You don't believe in curses?"

"I believe if I see one." you looked up at him and locked eyes. "Oh, here's one." you smiled and Vincent did too.

When you were called over to pay, Vincent stepped in front of you, paying for the necklace.

"You didn't have to."

"Are you going to wear it?" he asked as you two got into his car, ready to head home and for him to drop you off.

"I think I will just put it into my collection."

"You have a collection of cursed items?" you laughed a little.

"No! I have a collection of vintage jewellery and items." you said as you turned to him. "I don't believe in curses, but I wouldn't risk it either. It will look nice on my shelf." Vincent turned and looked at you. You looked so gentle and pure.

If he didn't know that you are a vicious killer, he would believe that you were a simple woman.

He had to remind himself that you were indeed a woman. Your curves in that dress certainly reminded him but now, so did your eyes.

"I would love to see your collection one day."

"Oh? So you want to come to my house? Or is this just an excuse to come to my house?"

"Yes." he replied, eyes shining and you smiled.

You watched as his driver turned into your street.

"Would you like to see it now?" you looked back at him just as his finger reached your knee.

"Maybe. You just have to say the words, Mon Amour."

The words.

Something he told you only on your first week of working with him.

"I want you." you hand suddenly grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him towards you. You gasped as his other hand reached behind you and pulled you in to meet his lips.

The devilish grin on his face and he pulled back should have been a warning.

But it was over for you when his finger ran up to your panties, slowly pulling it away so he could reach his destination.

His fingers were long and skilled.

---

For months you thought he only wanted you for your skills.

For months you believed he seduced you because it was the easiest way to keep you by his side.

You truly believed it.

Until one day.

He was in his office, having a couple men in there for important business. As usual.

But when one of the man had a rather... questionable comment about you... Vincent snapped.

The man ended up with two bullet holes.

"Everyone who dares to disrespect, MY WOMAN, gets that fate. Am I clear?" everyone in the room nodded as they fled.

"I could have killed him my self." you told him as he pulled you to another room so his office can be cleaned.

"I needed to send a message. No one messes with us." you smiled at him. He looked furious, still ridding the adrenaline the anger gave him upon hearing those words thrown at you.

"No one messes with us... I quite like that."

"You should marry me. I would much prefer to shout, wife than woman."

"Oh? Is that so? Where is my ring? Romantic dinner and a speech about how I changed you for the better? How you cannot live another day without me?"

"I think we both know you changed me for the worse." he smirked. He reached into his pocket, getting out a small box and opening it. In there was a lovely vintage ring. You looked up into his eyes than back at the ring. "But I truly cannot live another day without knowing you are fully mine. Not just as the trained assassin, but more as the amazing woman. What do you say? Will you marry me?"

"Vincent... You know I joke a lot about things. I actually never expected for you to pull out a ring." you looked up into his eyes again, all you could see was sincerity. "I would love to marry you." he smiled and pulled the ring out, placing it onto your finger.

"Then you shall be mine and I shall be yours. Not my bodyguard, not my assassin but mine." you knew he was trying to sound romantic, and this was his version of romance. But it did sound rather possessive.

"Can we get married on top of the Eiffel tower? Probably not... too windy I assume. Then how about Italy? You know I love Tuscany?"

"You name it, it's yours."

"Then can I have you?"

"You already have me." you reached up with your arms around his neck, leaning in for a kiss.

"Can you take me on that table?" you pointed at it behind you. He smirked.

"I believe, that can be arranged." he easily scooped you up with your two legs and walked you to the table.

His lips never leaving your neck as he started to remove both of your clothes.

You offered up yourself for John Wick's life.

What you believed to be the end for you was only the beginning.

I’ve actually been sitting on an au idea for quite a while. I discussed this IN DEPTH with my friend a while back but I wanna get your thoughts on it. I was wondering what would have happened if Sebek was sorted into a different dorm. I always settled for him being sorted into Pomefiore, seeing as how their whole thing is embodying the Evil Queen’s spirit of tenacity, of which Sebek has an abundance of. They’re also skilled at cultivating a unique sense of style, something Sebek ALSO does quite well. BUT SEBEK ADMITTED HIMSELF IF HE HAD TO BE IN ANY OTHER DORM BESIDES DIASOMNIA HE’D CHOOSE OCTINAVELLE. But the thought of Sebek in Heartslabyul flourishing under a strict regiment of conduct and Riddle’s no nonsense rule. I JUST KEEP WONDERING WHICH WOULD SUIT HIM BEST. While I also think he would represent Savanaclaw’s persistence well, I just think he’d despise the chaos and lack of order. And Ignihyde is out of the question.

But then that also leads me to the OTHER au of all the freshmen going into different dorms. Jack headed off to Heartslabyul, Epel to Savanaclaw, Deuce to Scarabia, Sebek to Pomefiore and Ace to Octinavelle. Personality wise I think they’d blossom in their newly assigned dorms respectively, but I wanna see what you think.

OH WE ARE COOKING.

I'm going to start playing with the idea of the whole first year group switching dorms before doing the "only Sebek switches" one.

First of all, absolutely love the dorms you casted them in mwah mwah mwah. Jack is a stickler for the rules in his own weird kind of way, believes in fair play and is quite possibly one of the most law-abiding students in the school...if it weren't for the fact that if morality and his own beliefs comes into play, he's willing to break a rule or two for the sake of his friends.

Epel is going to be underestimated by a LOT of Savanaclaw, but his stubbornness will help him put up a good fight. Even if he loses in the end, its shown that the students are smart enough to not go by someone's looks after they prove themselves to be strong and persistent. There is a chance that his character development regarding masculinity and his toxic view of it may be delayed...unless Leona gets on his case about it, because the women in Sunset Savanna are NOT to be messed with and so is any other woman, kid what the FUCK are you on about.

I was a bit unsure of Deuce being in Scarabia, but then I remembered this is the kid who changed his ways after overhearing his mom crying about him and decided the best way to make his mom proud is to become an honor student. Being an honor student is fucking HARD, as someone who USED to be one, so bro needs to plan and worry about more things than just academics, because trying to snag a spot as an honor student also means being on your best behavior.

Then I was STILL unsure, and saw Ace was at Octavinelle, and that's when I realized oh these mfs are a package deal fr!!! Deuce and Ace could switch between Octavinelle and Scarabia and IT WOULD STILL FUCKING FIT THEM. Ace is cunning and resourceful in ways you wouldnt expect (Scarabia), while also being very thoughtful and considerate when it comes to his friends (Octavinelle). Deuce is mindful of how his actions and words can affect other people (and his spot as an honor student) as long as his emotions dont get the best of him (Scarabia), and is goodwilled (Octavinelle). I love Adeuce.

Anyways, onto the ACTUAL idea part. Yeah. that wasn't the whole post. Sue me.

Jack can fulfill Adeuce's role in Book 1, me thinks. Even if he doesn't break any rules, his sense of justice will get him to call out Riddle for how his actions have affected the whole dorm. Riddle's overblot will be a bit delayed, since there's no punching the dormhead and the ruined unbirthday thing, but that shit's definitely going to happen still.

Epel would also be able to fulfill Jack's role. His admiration for Leona and Ruggie will make him feel all the more betrayed when he finds out that theyre actually going to cheat their way through the game. I feel that he would want to showcase his skills by battling a worthy (very much overpowered) opponent, not someone who'll end up underneath a stampede. Jack tagging along will also spur him on as they both share the same admiration for Leona.

ACE IS DEFINITELY GOING TO MESS WITH AZUL HAHAHA. THIS is one overblot that will actually be sped up. The same things still happen, except Yuu and the group get the information much faster from ACE, who is oh so willing to betray Azul and the Leech twins. He got sea anemone'd haha. The loser.

i FORGOT TO MENTION: Ace and Deuce are still the first people Yuu meets. Just yknow. Different dorms and all. Im not sure if Deuce would fall for Azul's contract, considering the fact that he's under Kalim and JAMIL, the latter knowing fully well how Azul is, but for the sake of the story he DID get sea anemone'd.

Because Im a sucker for them, Ace initially didnt give up information without something in return, before Yuu suddenly said out of nowhere that Deuce also fell for Azul's contract. Ace laughs it off, saying if theyre trying to get him to pity Deuce, they have to try harder than that. But eventually, Ace caves in because he genuinely does like Deuce because "he's a cool guy" and agrees to help them out free of charge. Theyre a duo in any universe fr 🔥🔥🔥

Scarabia overblot is the only thing that turns out to be MOSTLY the same, minus Deuce being sad that Jamil wasnt cool like that...but the mess is cleaned up fairly quickly.

FINALLY getting to Sebek. Fuck.

Sebek is INCONSOLABLE that he is NOT in Diasomnia. He unfortunately cannot camp out in their courtyard as he's claimed he will because Vil and Rook have him on CONSTANT supervision. Vil is a bit sad he wasnt able to get the lavender-haired boy in Pomefiore, but I guess he has to settle for the loud guy instead...he can work with this, Sebek already has this unique charm to him anyway.

Rook is FASCINATED. A HALF-FAE!?!?!?! IN THEIR DORM!?!?!? A dream come true. He literally stops tailing after any beastmen and mermen for a week, and Leona prays to the heavens above in thanks. He's even more delighted when he finds out Sebek consumes media of the same obscure opera he follows, so rest assured Rook is hanging around Sebek.

Im not sure if Sebek would take Epel's place in VDC, but I guess its SOMEWHAT possible, since he's shown some skills in Spectral Soiree anyway. Epel is still involved anyway because the apple juice is literally from his family, so.

Sebek's character development will be faster, I will say. Vil's view of beauty does not lie in one's looks as most people may believe, as he views beauty to be something you WORK HARD FOR. Rook sees beauty in EVERYTHING, regardless of any flaws. These two are actually going to be quite impactful on Sebek's journey on learning that his fae blood does NOT make him superior than others, but his human blood doesnt make him inferior as well. Yeah. I think he'll turn out alright.

Ignihyde events turn out the same way, although Im not too sure as well if Sebek takes Epel's place as well. This is where Im too stupid. Sorry guys. And now we head to DIASOMNIA.

...WHICH I WILL CONTINUE IN ANOTHER POST!!! AS WELL AS THE "ONLY SEBEK SWITCHES DORMS" IDEA!!!!!! BECAUSE THIS IS TOO LONG!!!!

HEIR.

(this is a demo) based on an au that was based on transformers prime. anyways, peepaw and reader's love child's name is romeo. he's so supposed to be like 16 but he might not come across that way. peepaw highkey evil in this but he's also a simp so it's okay. reader is gn, but is called 'momma' and mother so idk. (e/c) is eye color, (h/c) is hair color, (h/t) is hair type/texture

You had always known you weren't the greatest mother. You couldn't provide as much as you needed to for your son.

But it was still so heartbreaking when he left.

He had left in the dead of night, he didn't even leave a note. You cried about it for days.

The last person you loved had left. Just like everyone else did.

You denied for so long, searching desperately for any sign of a potential threat.

But there was nothing.

The house was so much colder. The food didn't taste as good. You closed your eyes and saw his bright eyes and gorgeous markings.

You took on more duties for the village, trying to find something to keep your mind off of your boy.

You really just were the worst mother.

Romeo had loved his mother more than anything in the world. She was smart and beautiful and kind.

But he had to know.

He found the letters that his mother couldn't herself to burn. He found confessions of undying love from Leonardo Hamato, his father.

He had to know.

So he left. He was so sure it would break his mother's heart, but the man in the letters sounded so kind and he had money and power.

Leonardo Hamato, his father, could help them. He could make life easier, and he loved Romeo's mom.

So that led Romeo here, standing outside the biggest structure he'd ever seen.

Was this what the castles in those stories looked like?

He approached slowly, stalking forward and observing. Men were standing near what Romeo assumed was the entrance to the fortress.

He noticed the slight shock about them. Nothing uncommon for a mutant turtle. The men broke from their stupor, drawing their weapons.

"And who the hell are you?!"

"I am the son of Leonardo Hamato."

Leonardo was strong, smart, cunning.

But all that was out of the window when he had met them. They were wonderful, beautiful, smart, kind. He loved them. He had almost married them.

But he was dragged away too soon.

His father, Baron Draxum, had threatened to kill them, Leo's love. So he was forced to leave. He ended up killing his father for this reason, but he never found his love.

After years of searching, he had to stop before his heart broke further.

Leo used to say that he thought about them every day when he woke up and when he went to sleep, but he dreamt of them too.

When he fought in battle, he imagined how enamored they'd be to see his face coated in blood for them. The thought made him smile.

Suddenly, the doors to the throne room were thrown open, two men dragging a mutant in. The dropped the mutant at his feet, then saluted him.

He raised a brow and rolled his wrist, a gesture for them to continue.

"Master Leonardo, this boy claims he's your son."

The mutant tilted his face up from where it was pressed against the steps.

The blood dripping from this nose and brow were the same stark red as the crescents over his eyes. His eyes were a bright (e/c). His hair fell in (h/c) (h/t) locks.

Leo was convinced.

"Hello, Father", the boy croaked before his head hit the step and he was out.

Since The Percy Jackson s1 is done, i can now write my overall experience with it. Mind you i only read the first book of PJO because I couldn’t afford the books and because goddamn borrowing it from the university library was like a pack of coyotes seeing a slab of meat after 15 years of starvation.

(Side note: i once got scratched in the face by a girl who wanted to read Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, when i was gonna borrow the book for a second time. I learned it was better to just buy the books one by one per year.)

So i fully enjoyed the series. Regardless of how a lot of people have been calling it shit or a disgrace to the books. Like I appreciate how Uncle Rick managed to retell his own story, see it come to life, in a way that he wants. I appreciate Sally Jackson having a bigger impact to how Percy is as a person and as a character.

Yes, i too was shocked with the grover snitch scene in ep 1, then I thought about it, it made sense. Grover is my favorite character and i would like to say that the movie version of Grover made me feel uneasy but this version of grover, he made me long for that kind of friendship. I also love how Grover unlike in the movies, isn’t comic relief. You see his emotional struggles. You see him grow from “we have to keep the peace, let’s all be kind” to then showing us that he’s more than that. He is smart, cunning, manipulative if need be. He is also brave and he carries so much emotional baggage. The fact that he expresses rage about certain things, makes him feel more human to me. By giving him so much depth, by casting Aryan Simhadri, his depiction of grover would make book grover very proud.

Annabeth is also really really amazing in my eyes. Seeing a child give off an air of “i know things that you don’t” like an adult is so cool. Seeing her grow from “the gods are just and they have their reasons” to “The gods have flaws and they make mistakes, but i will be better than that” is very tear jerking. It helped me see Annabeth in those moments as a child who didn’t get to experience a proper childhood finally see what its like to be loved without having to give anything in return. Leah Sava Jeffries, shows emotions so well. Her posture changes depending on how she feels. She slouches a bit when she’s dejected or upset and is more poised when she’s feeling the most confident. Her eyes carry so much emotion in scenes where she doesn’t speak. She’s a lovely actress.

Percy, gods where do i even begin. Walker first off, played this character so well! You see how he’s feeling through his eyes, his face is so expressive and i love it. Percy also gets my mom approval card (which means my mom also loves his character). The way they show him to be loyal, caring, empathetic but also he’s just a child so you understand why he acts the way he acts. People complained about how percy wasn’t fighting like a pro, but i think that’s what makes it great. Percy is new, he’s learning as he goes, when we finally see Walker Portray the Percy that we all know, we can look back at s1 and we’ll see that truly, Percy has grown in skill. Also im always gonna sob over the fact that his scenes where he chooses to sacrifice himself for his friends, he always implies how he isn’t enough, we see how he sees himself and that hurts. Percy’s sass and humor though are also such highlights. I would love to see more of walker’s percy too.

Now honorable mention to my favorite backstabbing, pretty boy, luke. I love how he is such a good actor. Watching him play luke kinda immersed me in the moment, i forgot that this kind ,young man is the antagonist. Because when he played luke when we first saw him, i too wouldn’t be able to think that this guy, he can be cruel. But he delivers so much rage, so much resentment in his scene with percy in the finale. The way charlie acted in that scene, gods, i was shocked. I truly believe watching him and his character’s descent to something more is gonna be a rollercoaster ride of emotions.

The show in itself is really really good. Yes there are odd sudden black screens, but I don’t mind them. I don’t mind the changes, i just think that the episodes could be a bit longer. The story is captivating even with those changes, i love how Uncle Rick got the chance to give us an adaptation that isn’t an exact copy of the book, because i believe that a good adaptation doesn’t need to be a scene per scene copy, because if that’s what y’all wanted, listen to an audio book where people act out the scenes. Think of it this way, the book and the show are just two separate universes. Like how we have the MCU and the Marvel Comics. Same characters but different continuums.

People tend to find the negatives before they see the positives, its how we’re mostly wired. If we look past them, you’ll see that there are things that are better.

I would definitely be excited for a s2

Starting off with our lovely were-bois to celebrate Milo’s hbs

———————————————————————

David - Hufflepuff

• Secondry is Ravenclaw

• He is willing to do anything for his pack

• Or Angel

• But, as the beforementioned snot can attest to, it is not easy to attain that kind of relationship with him which makes a lot of people assume he’s slytherin

• Although that is more because of his father’s passing than his personality

• He was so pissed when he found out because he had only watched the first two movies

• And thought hufflepuff was the throw-away house

• But after researching and retaking the test (many, many, times) he agreed with it

Asher - Ravenclaw

• Secondry is Gryffindor

• He is one of the only energetic Ravenclaws

• But he drinks enough energy drinks and caffeine to fit in on that front

• Also

• HE IS A HUGE FUCKING NERD!!!

• Dude dressed up as ASH KETCHUM for Halloween because

A. He is a Pokémon geek

and B. ITS A PUN!! Our boy made a fucking pun out of his costume and was still nerdy enough to make it something that he loved.

• Also he’s like one of those dumb-smart Ravenclaws

• Like he acts dumb all the time but he knows random things

• Not to mention if you get him talking about any of his interests he might just spontaneously combust

Milo - Slytherin

• Secondary is Gryffindor

• I feel like I don’t need to explain

• But I will

• First of all, mans looks AMAZING in dark green

• but we all knew that

• He is wonderfully cunning and will do anything for the people he loves

• Kinda like David but he doesn’t really have a limit on what the aforementioned “anything” is

• “Oh Sweetheart is being harassed by some bozo at work? Lemme get my pack of BLOODTHIRSTY WOLVES who the majority of are absoLUTELY feminists AND WE WILL RIP HIS THROAT OUT”

• Also he is absolutely super ambitious.

• He may not be the biggest, and he know he’s not gonna be alpha, but bro has some life goals that are most certainly going to be achieved

Six / Sixten Möller

Affiliations : Lucifer (secretly plotting betrayal) Preacher

Occupations : Alternate(?) Child Psychiatrist

Having abandoned his previous obedience to the Morningstar and the mission, Six now focuses on nurturing Adam away from His plans for him, which he also uses as a way to satisfy his desire to be a parent.

-The "Elite" of Alternates-

Six was, and to a certain level still is, one of Lucifer's greatest assets in His plans, but now something has changed and he is no longer the same servant he used to be. He is no longer the same alternate he used to be. For now though, he's still one of the most valuable alternates thanks to his cunning.

-A Kind and Dedicated Father-

Sixten is a very loving and protective guardian of Adam, encouraging and helping in his studies, and taking over most of the household chores so his son can rest when he needs it. Though Preacher sometimes complains that he's spoiling Murray way too much, Sixten doesn't agree and doesn't plan on stopping so soon either.

*The facets of Six*

-The Master of A Hundred Faces-

[DATA CORRUPTED]

-Progress: Missions-

Since his secret identity as Sixten needs to be a complete secret, he still needs to obey Lucifer whenever the fallen angel gives him a task, which fortunately are fewer than before and farther from each other too, so he can always just tell Adam he went for a medical appointment.

*The facets of papa Sixten*

-Education: So Smart It's Scary-

Besides English and Swedish, his "native language", Sixten is a polyglot fluent in more than 10 other languages, even knowing a lot of Hebrew! He also seems to know back to front everything that Adam learned in school, and even beyond the curriculum in some subjects, so whenever he needed help to study Adam could always just ask his adopted dad, and Sixten was always happy to help. Adam's classmates that came over for study sessions thought that Sixten's impressive knowledge was scary.

-Cover Job: The Good Psychiatrist-

For a living, Sixten works as a child psychologist at Eden Juvenile Mental Clinic, and he is very good at his job! He is well-beloved by his co-workers and patients, whom he is very attentive and understanding to during the entire process of helping them get better.

-Household Duties: Skilled and Perfect-

Sixten takes care of all of the cleaning, grocery shopping and cooking most of the time, and it never seemed to provoque any fatigue in him. As Adam grew up, he started wanting to learn to do chores by himself, plus Preacher insisting that it was important it was for Adam's independence, and although Sixten has taught him the basic things, it's almost like he is afraid of something. Is he afraid that Adam will soon move out and be exposed to danger, or is he afraid that that will leave him all alone?

Ough, this is very fun!! Thank you for making it and sending it in!! :D

#mustang answers!#htb preach six times a day #i love all the details!

Gjdkskaqk man, idk what else to ask I feel a little lost

So how bout you give me fun facts about ur ocs' pokemon? Can be just their main

you can also ask about my nonpokemon ocs!!! i can send u some posts about them :3

again 🩷 for rubie and 💗 for cacao (fun fact their names are based on ruby chocolate and dark chocolate because rubie is very sweet vibrant and interesting while cacao is more worried about the casual/romantic (not love, just romantic as like the ideology) aspects of life but is still very sweet and has his fields of expertise :3)

goood help whoever reads rhis

🩷 has armarouge (flare), garganacl (depos like deposits of salt!!), zoroark (miasma), skeledirge (apple fritter), vaporeon (reef), and tinkaton (lychee)

flare is MILDY haughty but generally very nice. he tries his best to help others and unlearn his bad behaviours from childhood. hes a trans guy btw!!! he also is a little bad with physical touch from new people but will show mild forms of affection so rubie feels loved.

depos is a gentle giant and very overprotective. they have a cat demeanour and love helping rubie with his homework!! he often needs a body double so depos will do research while rubie studies. very physically affectionate.

miasma is a little charismatic yet tricky bastard. he loves pulling pranks but has a hard time telling when someone genuinely doesnt like what hes doing so he tries to make sure they tell him if he does upset them. very cuddly with rubie and has a special bond with depos, often mirroring them!!!

apple fritter is a big baby /pos. shes such a cutie pie and is so nice to everyone despite her loud and rambunctious personality! she would never do anything to intentionally harm ANYONE. she will flop on rubies lap or lay down near other team members so they can lay on top of her. she has to be scrubbed often so her scales dont get crusty from her playing in mud :)

reef is extremely cunning and smart. he can come up with complex strategies to lots of problems within minutes and spends lots of time researching moves with depos. he isnt good at battle strategies but is learning !!! he likes to be the heavy damage taker, with many moves and an item healing him, to stall for rubie to figure out a plan.

lychee. oh dear god lychee. the kind of girl who will drink a monster energy, half drank, left out for hours, without a second thought. shes extremely strong, able to hold up all of her team members with ease. she loves teasing miasma and pulling tricks on him because she has very thick skin. she goes feral when someone upsets any of her team members, and specifically tries her best to be understanding with flare about his touch boundaries.

💗 dear god here we go. cacao has two teams, a travel/casual team (second team he built) and a powerful/overleveled team (first team)

first team members: squeaks (noivern), stinky (kingler, shes a girl tho so i call her queenler), jasper (cinderace), socks (boltund), expresso (thievul), and marble (espeon).

second team members: bubbles (dragonair), turaco? i believe (togekiss), kasib (scolipede), kingfisher (archeops), saffron (lilligant), and fanta (toxtricity amped form)

squeaks is shy scenemo rave kid and has a platonic crush on stinky, adores marble

stinky is big burly lady and gives big bear hugs. and is not actually stinky i just named her that cus she was a pain to catch n she beat up my team badly

expresso is kind of a wild card and pretty mysterious, but reaally loves cacao and seems to like socks

socks is literally golden retriever but gets tired out emotionally and physically easily. likes expresso

jasper is very hot cold with his personality, can be very energetic and loud one day and the next is very calm and tired. he mirrors his trainers personality which is why they get along so well!!! will give any team members cuddles if needed

marble loves any clothes that are comfy and fluffy/soft!! kneads stuff like a cat, indulges in scenemo stuff with squeaks and makes kandi bracelets w them

SECOND TEAM

fanta is a dramatic theatre kid with autistic burnout. love the college student sleepless gender, go boy give us nothing. he absolutely LOVES saffron to death

turaco is constantly worried about the fellow dumbasses (/aff) on their team and is constantly holding something healing on their person

kingfisher is super clumsy and verbally stims super frequently with cacao or turaco if cacao needs quiet no stimulation time. has a sibling like bond with turaco (hence their names both being birds, and their colors being similar! both flying types too :3) prone to echolalia

bubbles is very timid and quiet but loves cuddling with cacao and wrapping around him. bubbles tries their best to soothe cacao when hes having issues sleeping. bubbles has a sleepy mark so theyre extremely tired a lot of the time!!!!

kasib is always sticking her nose out at people and is very curious. she loves learning new things and stomps her feet (positive stim) whenever cacao infodumps to her!!! kasib is almost always watching anything interesting, but doesnt say anything so we'll never know if she ever has any thoughts behind them eyes/j

saffron is the team mom. she listens to everyones concerns and vents, sings lullabies for anyone whos having a rough bout of insomnia. she knows cacao has complicated feelings towards familial stuff, so she takes on the role of mom for him so he can feel loved. will definitely bring u your favorite food/plush/drink to calm you down

When you tell him you used to have a crush on him (pt.Two) (Oikawa ver.)

Pairing: Oikawa x reader

Wordcount: about 4300 words (Didnt I say this won´t be as long? oops)

Genre: fluff

A/N: I haven´t proof-read this yet, so please excuse my mistakes. Also, I don´t know if I am happy with this or not. I thought the idea is cute but i am not sure if I am happy with the way I´ve done it. Anyway, it´s 6 AM, I have an important presentation today and isnetad of sleeping I´ve wrote this. I need to overthink my priorities.

Ever since that call in which you confessed that you had feelings for him, there was a strange tension between you that neither of you knew what to do about

You still texted, still called – the amount of time you spent with one another didn’t change but it felt like the “what if” was on your minds constantly, even if you didn’t know that was the case for the other

You were still slightly bothered about his comment about him not breaking your heart while he was actively imagining what the future would have looked like if one of you confessed

Would you be with him right now? Would you have left Japan with him? Or would he have stayed? Technically, there were plenty of opportunities in Japan for him. Maybe it would be the same as now but would the two of you be in a long distance relationship? The thought didn’t bother him as much if it was with you.

Ultimately neither of you knew what to do about it

Maybe it was time to move on

You took a shaky breath as you took one last look into the mirror. He should be here any second to pick you up, so there wasn’t much you could do about your outfit anyway.

By he you meant your date. Yes, you had a date and no he wasn’t your longtime crush. Besides the fact that Oikawa wasn’t even on the same continent as you which made it physical impossible to go on a date, there was also the problem that he didn’t seem to like you back.

After a lot of thinking, you got to the conclusion that Oikawa didn’t mean anything by it when he said he wouldn’t have broken your heart. He probably was just reassuring you that he would have been gentle with rejecting you and still would have been friends with you afterwards.

If he meant anything else by it, he would have said so. You knew him well enough to know that he was rather cunning and that his words didn’t always reflect his true thoughts. He wasn’t just a silly idiot who loved volleyball a little too much. No, he was rather smart and knew how to charm people.

But this was different. There was no reason for him to be pretentious, no reason to talk in riddles. He could have just said “too bad, I liked you too”.

He wasn’t exactly shy in that way, so why would he start now?

It was almost funny how the day after you came to that conclusion, a boy from your class asked you out. You had talked to him a few times due to sitting next to each other or even having projects together.

He was kind and polite, truly a good guy. He also was easy on the eyes and had the sweetest smile. Still, you always thought of him as a fellow student since you never really became too personal with one another.

So, it came as a surprise when he suddenly asked you on a date to the movies. You hesitated but eventually decided that this might be a sign.

Your phone that rested in your hand vibrated and your gaze immediately shifted to the bright screen.

It was a text message. A reply from Oikawa.

You didn’t tell him about the date since you knew he was too busy anyway to help you, so instead you had freaked out about it to a girl friend of yours who matched your excitement and provided great advice.

You still couldn’t stop yourself from sending him a mirror picture when you were ready for your date.

It was just the picture and a “Do I look cute?” with a winking emoji. You weren’t embarrassed about it since such texted were normal between you too. You always made sure that the other knew that they were attractive, not that Oikawa needed any more reassurance.

Oikawa: super cute ;) why are you dressed up though? Having a girl’s night?

You still blushed whenever he complimented you, which he knew and used to make fun of.

Cutie: No, I actually have a date. It´s the first one and I want to make sure I look my best :)

Oikawa: What? A date? And you only tell me only now? I thought we tell each other everything. I am not sure where I stand with you :<<

You chuckled as you read his overdramatic reply.

Other than you, Oikawa wasn’t laughing; he wasn’t even smiling. A deep frown was present on his face as he looked down at the device on which your recent picture was still shown.

You definitely looked cute and to be honest, his heart skipped a beat when he saw the picture you´ve sent him.

Now that he knew that you looked this good for another guy, he couldn’t really appreciate it anymore.

He knew this day would come, of course it would. You were beautiful and in your own unique way absolutely charming. He was pretty sure the only reason why you weren’t snatched up in high school was because at one point you were pretty much known as the girl of the Aoba Joshai volleyball club and most guys were intimidated by the players that seemed to be always around you.

It wasn’t like that was exactly their intention, but it just happened naturally that you would spend pretty much every moment in school with them. It wasn’t easy to ask someone out when behind them stood three towering guys who looked intimidating if you didn’t know them.

Anyway, he knew this was coming but he still wasn’t prepared. He just came back from training and actually planned to ring you up but obviously you would be busy.

Cutie: Anyway, he is here so I have to go now :)

Oikawa: where is he taking you anyway?

He decided to ignore your previous message as he felt strangely inclined to know exactly what was going on where you were.

Cutie: To the movies :p

Oikawa: How lame. That’s so cliché. You only deserve the best, princess. Don’t settle for such an uncreative guy :(

Yeah, he didn’t sound jealous at all.

Cutie: You mean someone like you who literally only goes to a restaurant or the park as a first date?

You knew him so well but unfortunately you got him there. To be fair, his previous relationships weren’t that serious, so he never felt like he needed to go all out for a girl. If he had the chance to take you on a date though, he would make sure to come up with something super romantic.

Oikawa: This isn´t about me. Stop reflecting. Your date is lazy :<<

Cutie: As much I would love to hear you complaining even more about my date you don’t even know, he is here and I have to go for real now. I will text you later xxx

Oikawa frowned once more. He knew it wasn’t possible to completely make you forget about your date but he still had somehow hope that he could have kept you on your phone longer.

He sighed.

Your date and you made some nice small talk as you were driving over to the cinema. Once you arrived you got your tickets, some popcorn and before you knew it you were sitting at your seats.

“I´m going to the bathroom real quick before the movie starts. I will be right back” your date excused himself and you nodded with a small smile.

It was nice. It didn’t feel exactly like a date though. Your nerves calmed down which you were thankful for but somehow you missed the spark.

Shouldn’t there be a spark?

Your thoughts were interrupted when your phone vibrated once more. It did that ever since your left your apartment. You furrowed your eyebrows as you picked up the device and turned on the screen.

You weren’t surprised at what you found.

Oikawa: So is he nice? How do you know him anyway?

Oikawa: Are you already there? I hope you arrived safe and without anything inappropriating happening, young lady

Oikawa: Helllllloooooo? Where are you? I am worried he kidnapped you

Oikawa: Or are you ignoring me? That would be so rude :<<<

Oikawa: If he does anything you don’t like tell me and I will come and beat him up for you. I don’t care how far away I am.

Oikawa: Cutie? Princess? Best friend? Cutest best friend ever? Y/NNNNN?

You groaned as you read all those random texts, especially because you weren’t sure what he was thinking. You considered ignoring him or even turning off your phone completely but somehow you didn’t want to. Maybe you were so desperate for the male that you even liked his attention while being on a date with someone else.

Did that make you a bad person? Probably.

Cutie: What the hell are you doing? I am fine. He hasn’t kidnapped me yet but if that happens you will be the first to know

Oikawa: Don´t joke about that. It´s a real fear of mine :(

Cutie: of course, it is. Btw, I am not ignoring you. I am on a date. Are you really trying to third wheel on my date while being on another continent? That´s even a bit much for you.

Oikawa: Well, I am pretty ambitious and as you can see it works. You text with me instead of paying attention to your date. So, who is the one third wheeling? :)

You blushed as you realized how right he was and there wasn’t exactly any hiding it. Your date still wasn’t back, so you weren’t exactly ignoring him, which you wouldn’t do anyway because you weren’t rude but still.

Cutie: He is at the bathroom. I am not ignoring him for you

Oikawa: He left you alone? If that isnt a red flag, I don’t know what is

Cutie: the only red flag here is your trolling as my best friend. I see him coming back. Bye.

Oikawa: Don´t go!!! Tell me what´s happening. By now I am a vital part of this date. I have any right to know.

You rolled your eyes as you read the last text before putting your phone into your lap.

“You okay?” The male smiled as he sat down in his seat once more. Your eyes left the device as you gave him a bright smile of your own.

“Yeah, everything is good. I am excited for the movie” you answered, choosing to not address that your best friend was trying to invite himself to your date.

“I am glad you are. I´ve actually waited forever for it to come out. So what´s your favorite movie genre?” once more the two of you ended up having small talk, patiently waiting for the movie to start.

Sooner than later the movie started, and the theater grew rather quiet. There weren’t that many people to begin with but now everyone was paying attention to the movie, which you were supposed to do as well.

Instead, your gaze flickered back to your phone that you put on silent due to Oikawa not giving up. You couldn’t help but wonder what he was texting you but at the same time you couldn’t be so rude

Your mind couldn’t shut up though, trying to figure out Oikawa´s intentions. There was a high chance he just wanted to annoy you. You remembered that he once spied on Iwaizumi when he was going on date. He forced you to come along and as ridiculous as it sounded, it was actually kinda fun. Until Iwaizumi spotted you two and was ready to beat up Oikawa while you would get a good scolding.

But you also felt that small spark of hope lit up in your chest, a feeling you knew too well as it came back over and over again ever since you´ve realized you liked your best friend.

Sneaking a peak wouldn’t hurt, right?

You tried to do it in secret by shielding the light of your phone by pulling your jacket into your lap.

Oikawa: The movie started, right?

Oikawa: Wanna stream a movie together later this week? I kinda miss our movie nights :(

Cutie: Yeah, it´s good :)

Oikawa: Must be if you rather text me instead of watching ;)

Cutie: okay, I am going back to ignoring you

Oikawa: wait

Oikawa: don’t

Oikawa: come back to me. Don’t leave me

Cutie: calm down, idiot

Oikawa: your idiot <3

Cutie: Ehh

Oikawa: I should change your contact name to meanie and I was just about to give you great advice :(

Cutie: Go ahead :D but what advice are you talking about exactly? :o

Oikawa: Advice to keep your innocence

Cutie: I am not 12 anymore

Oikawa: Yeah, but this is your first date and I know all the dirty thoughts a guy has when he takes a girl to the movie theater, you know a dark, big space.

Cutie: Too much information. Maybe it´s just you. He hadn´t done anything. He is a nice guy. I don’t think he will try anything

Oikawa: and that, my darling, is exactly what he wants you to think

Cutie: Stop trying to scare me

Oikawa: just call me if he tries to kiss you

Cutie: maybe I want him to kiss me :p

Oikawa: do you really?

You frowned at his last question. Your heartbeat quickened and suddenly you felt like the light hearted tone of your text conversation got lost.

Your turned off the screen of your phone and straightened yourself, eyes now fixed on what was happening before you.

You tried to concentrate, you really did but Oikawa´s words didn’t want to leave your mind. What would you do? Would you kiss him? Did you want to do this with a guy like him? Would you then feel a spark? Or would it just be a bland kiss?

You shock your head, you shouldn’t worry. That won´t happen. Oikawa was a drama queen. He was just trying to scare you. Maybe he was offended that you´ve never told him about the date or maybe it was because he felt protective as your best friend.

Or maybe he liked you.

It didn’t matter because you wouldn’t do anything about it anyway.

You left your phone alone and for the next 30 minutes you actually managed to enjoy the movie and follow it´s storyline.

That’s when a romantic scene appeared on the screen and you visibly stiffened.

You felt awkward. It was almost like watching a sex scene in a movie with your family.

You flinched when you suddenly felt a hand touch yours. You gulped, your eyes shifting over to your own hand before you looked up. Your date turned himself to you, staring at you with a look you couldn’t read.

He wouldn’t, would he?

“Y/N” he whispered your name in a way that made you want to run away. You froze as the boy suddenly leaned closer. You appreciated that he wasn’t ambushing you and actually gave you time to react, showing that he wasn’t trying to force himself on you. Still, you couldn’t think right at that moment.

He leaned closer and closer, slowly closing his eyes.

Oh, he would.

Oikawa was bouncing his leg as he sat on his bed restlessly. He hated that he couldn’t do anything. You haven’t answered for almost half an hour. He knew he had no right to feel jealous or even prevent anything from happening between you and that boy but he was selfish in that way.

He was enlightened and a bit smug when he got you texting him back. It gave him confidence to know that he was on your mind instead of whatever loser you were dating.

Maybe he was the loser. He hated the guy without knowing a thing about him.

He took a deep breath as he suddenly regretted that he had never said anything. He didn’t have the right to feel jealous but he could have prevented all of this by confessing to you when you were still in high school.

And right this moment he couldn’t help but wonder if he wasn’t doing the same mistake once more.

His phone vibrated and he immediately looked down.

His eyes widened at the massage.

Cutie: He tried to kiss me.

A mix of anger and sadness surged through him until his mind finally processed the entire message.

Tried.

As in, you didn’t let him?

You flew to the bathroom. You weren’t proud but when he had leaned in you panicked and before his lips could meet yours you pretty much jumped up and told him that you needed to use the bathroom.

You didn’t even wait for an answer.

To make your embarrassment complete, you immediately texted Oikawa. You felt like a teenager. You should have just told him that you didn’t want to kiss him instead of running away. He seemed considered. He wouldn’t have forced you.

Not to forget that you were anxious about Oikawa´s respond. Would he make fun of you? Would he think you were childish? You buried your face in your hands with a grown.

Your pity party was interrupted when Oikawa called you. It wasn’t just a normal call. He tried to facetime you. What the hell?

You hesitated but ended up picking up.

“Hey, Tooru” you said almost too casual as you weren’t even sure what you were doing. You were in a bathroom stall, hiding from your date because he tried to kiss you and now you were facetiming your best friend. It couldn’t get any weirder.

You looked at your screen at which Oikawa was now displayed. Your heart automatically skipped a beat. His hair was slightly tousled. He was wearing a simple black shirt that you have seen him in countless of time but you still never failed to appreciate how handsome he looked even in the most simple things.

But what really caught your attention was his expression. His face almost looked tense. His mouth was formed in a frown and his eyed held a serious glint that you usually only saw whenever he was on the court.

“Please tell me you didn’t kiss him” you were surprised at the urging tone of Oikawa´s voice. He almost sounded desperate.

“What? I mean, I-. No, I didn’t kiss him” you answered, your cheeks started to turn red. “I am sorry, It was stupid to text you like this. I mean, you warned me to but gosh, this was so embarrassing! I literally ran away! I should have just said no and kept my cool. Maybe you are right and I am still a kid when it comes to this stuff. Why am I even saying all this? You will never let me live that down, will you?” Your nerves got the better of you, making you brabble.

Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

“Fuck, no, I am glad. I mean, it´s definitely a nice confession story for sure. That is if what I am about to do works out” he finally interrupted you. He clearly was more relaxed now. Instead his demeanor became almost shy as he shifted his eyes away from the screen for a second before his brown eyes met your e/c ones once more.

“Confession story? What are you-?”

“I like you. I like you so much and I am an idiot for only saying it when you decide to go on a date. I know you said that you don’t like me anymore but I know I wouldn’t be able to move on if I didn’t say anything”

After he said “I like you” you weren’t able to comprehend whatever he was saying after. All that rang in your ears were those three words.

Oikawa watched your reaction. He wasn’t sure if it was good or bad when you became completely silent and looked like you´ve just seen a ghost but this couldn’t turn any more embarresing, so he gave you time to process his words.

“Are you serious? You mean it?” Deep down you knew that he would never joke about something like that.

“Yes, what about you? Any chance to revive your past feelings for me?” he sounded so vunerable when he said those words. A small smile played on his lips. A smile you easily reciprocated.

“Yeah, actually they have never died down. I was just too much of a coward to confess directly to you. I mean, you are you and a long-distance relationship isn’t ideal as well”

“What do you mean I am me? Don´t you dare be insecure about yourself. You are gorgeous and so goddamn cute. Do you know how hard it was not to confess to you when we used to spend so much time together?”

“I wished you had” you joked, “I like you too, Tooru” you had to hold back tears as you looked at your phone. You waited so long for this moment and now that it was here you felt overwhelmed. You just wished he was here. You wanted to hug him, kiss him – just be close to him.

“Don´t look like that, sweetheart. God, if I was with you right now I would kiss you and not let you go for the rest of the night but I guess, I have to wait a bit longer until you visit me” You let out a chocked giggle as you felt so much affection right now that you didn’t know what to do with it.

“So you gonna be my girlfriend? No more dates with random guys who don’t know what a good date is?” His teasing grin made you fall in love even more.

“Yeah, I only want to go on uncreative dates with you from now on” you joked

“Hey! I told you I would do better nowadays. Especially when it is with you” he pouted playfully and you let out another laugh. This was typical Oikawa.

Your Tooru.

“Anyway, now that that´s settled, how about you show me the dude who tried to kiss my sweet girlfriend?” he spat, a scowl forming on his face.

You rolled your yes. He was truly an idiot.

“I wasn’t your girlfriend at that moment and besides, you aren’t exactly intimidating while being on a phone screen”

“Hey! As my girlfriend you are supposed to support me!”

One month later

“Tooru!” You jumped in his arms when you finally reached him. Your plane just landed and you swore you´ve never been that impatient about going through the process of getting to the gate where the people would wait for their friends and family.

After all, that would be the first time you would see your boyfriend in person.

He wrapped his strong arms around you, pressing your smaller body tightly against his. You had hugged him countless of times, but this felt different. More loving, warmer, more meaningful.

“Finally, you don’t know how long I´ve waited until I could finally shower you with all the love you deserve” the male whispered right into your ear, softly nipping at it.

A shiver went down your back and your cheeks were tinted red within seconds. You knew he was forward with his affection but you didn’t expect this.

“I missed you too. I couldn’t wait to finally come here. This was the longest month of my entire life” you admitted, tightening your arms that were around his neck, burying your nose deeper in his shoulder.

You felt his chest rumble softly as he let you a chuckle, his hand softly squeezing your hips.

“Missed you too. I even had a hard time to concentrate in practice. You wouldn’t believe how mean the other guys were about it” you didn’t need to see his face to know he was pouting. “but now I don´t have to miss you anymore, so show me your beautiful face”

The setter pulled away, bringing one hand to your chin to make you look up at him. Your blush deepened as you peered directly into his handsome face. His eyes were slightly hooded as his typical smirk played on his lips.

You couldn’t avert your eyes even for a second.

“You gonna run away, pretty girl?” He teased as he slowly leaned down. You couldn’t answer, only slightly shaking your head as you waited for the moment his lips would meet yours

Your eyes slowly closed and soon enough his warm lips met your soft ones. The kiss emitted the familiar spark in your chest that you always felt whenever you were just thinking about him.

Your grip on his shoulder tightened as you felt the need to steady yourself while getting lost in the kiss. Oikawa was a good kisser. While you were pretty sure that gentle wasn’t his go to method, he chose to kiss you slow and deep, taking your breath away.

Literally, which was the only reason the two of you pulled apart. He leaned his forehead against yours. A satisfied sigh leaving his lips as he just enjoyed the moment.

You kept your eyes closed as you tried to concentrate on the feeling of him.

“I love you” he mumbled, only for your ears to hear.

Your eyes snaped open, meeting his as he was already gazing at you. The usually playful glint was replaced by an affectionate one that told you everything you needed to know.

“I love you too, Tooru” you replied without any hesitation.

“I wanted to tell you when I first confessed but then I thought it would be so much nicer if I could kiss you right afterwards” he smirked, softly cupping your face with one hand as his eyes traced over your adorable face that started to resemble a cherry.

“Then what are you waiting for?” You teased shyly, hoping he would just kiss you once more.

And he did.

And you kissed back.

Black sails! Tell me about black sails!

alright alright (nearly spelled that altright 😆)!

Favorite character

gotta be flint. flint forever and ever. character of all time. just. i think what stands out to me is that he's a character with believable adult trauma. i feel like we are inundated with childhood trauma, and it's not that childhood trauma has no place or is meaningless, but please, for the love of god, adults can get fucked up too, and in different ways, and the consequences are different. i love how he carries his trauma and is just unapologetically fucked-up about it.

Second favorite character

anne bonny. just. i remember a historian friend going on about her at the time that the pirates of the caribbean movies were out, and i somehow remembered her and god i love her in this show. there's something so visceral about her. flint is all intellect and showmanship, she exists in the shadows for so long, doesn't speak much at all, and just, you know, murders people 🙈🙈🙈 as one does. also i think her actress is so good. (i still want to make an anne bonny doll because i love her costumes so much, but that's also the reason i haven't started, they look very elaborate)

Least favorite character

gotta be john silver. i watched two treasure islands since i saw black sails, the disney one and one the bbc made for tv, and i dislike him in that story too. mostly, i think because i already came out disliking him so much from black sails 😆 the writing and acting is excellent, i just want to push him off a cliff.

The character I’m most like

uh. i think i identify most with flint? but i'm not in any way starting a revolution, i just love how angry he is at the world. the characters in the show are all very smart, and cunning and they are survivalists. i think i'd be a spectator (and die a gruesome death at some point coz no one stays a spectator for long)

Favorite pairing

i love james mcgraw and thomas hamilton. i shipped them when i didn't know they were a canon pairing and then when they were canonised it was even better to see that they were written to be together. they are so instantly into each other, it's such a joy. i love shipping equals and i love how equal they are and how aware of that in each other. and how much they love each other. it drives me insane.

Least favorite pairing

woodes rogers and eleanor guthrie. eleanor is a bit of an acquired taste but i love her arc and she deserved so much better. she's so conflicted over who she is supposed to be and she makes many shitty choices and she's so good at alienating people and also i love her and she needed a partner who saw her so much better. woodes rogers is just awful.

Favorite moment

flint murdering hal gates. i've been meaning to tell you about this actually, because ahahaha if jason murdered the joker like that, i would fucking ascend 🙈🙈🙈 i love murder shown as a kind of intimacy and there a few instances that i know of that in fiction and i love that so dearly. but also the aftermath of that murder is so good. i think very often the murder is shown to be an end of itself and i'm not sure it always should be. so having an aftermath to is so great.

flint gets to experience so many consequences. i want to hug him.

Rating out of 10

i think for someone who is reluctant to watch television shows and was kindly persuaded to give this a go and stuck with it, it's absolutely a 10/10. i think it is peak television and made with so much love and thought. it has flaws and shortcomings but what doesn't.

#thanks for the ask!#black sails #asks

Hi! I found your writing is very interesting and so good. Do you mind if i request

Heizou x childhood friend that are mastermind. Like a criminal mastermind[like sherlock and moriarty basically] that secretly work against raiden shogun eventhough vision hunt is over but they got cought by heizou? Some kind of enemy to lover one. Thankyou!

Caught red-handed {heizou x reader}

[oneshot] enemies to lovers trope

Word count: 1.2k

{......🖋}

a/n: holy shit this was long, probably one of the longest one-shots I have ever written, I never really wrote enemies to lovers so hopefully this is good!

Pitter. Patter. Pitter. Patter. The rain falls slowly onto the roofs and floor, clouds blocking the sun making the world turn dark, and on a night like this, it was perfect to do something that was dangerous. You knew this was wrong but you couldn’t stop now not when the end goal was so close. It’s kinda ironic if you think about it, your childhood friend is a detective, and yet here you are doing something that was illegal. You wondered what heizou would think of this, you’d bet he would have fun solving a case like yours if you weren’t so careful.

‘Heizou…’ you think back to your old friend, he’s clever and cunning you would get caught if you weren’t careful with your tracks and connections. He’s too smart and way stronger than he looks, and that was a problem for you. Perhaps you thought that you wouldn’t have gotten caught since you were careful, but you seemed to have underestimated heizou's capabilities too much. ‘Fuck!’ you thought running through the stormy night from the city's alleyways, a figure could be seen not too far from behind you. “Stop right there criminal!” a shout came from behind you but you couldn’t risk it not when you're almost out of the city.

Under the cover of night, you run into a dead end, it seemed like the end for you, not. You were quick to jump from wall to wall in the narrow alleyway and climbed onto the roof of a house, since it was raining it was perfect to get away unseen if you were careful not to fall from the roofs. You ran and jumped to the entrance of the city, freedom was so close right before your fingertips until you were slammed to the cold wet ground. You could feel a weight on your back and hands rushing to pin yours behind your back. “This is the end for you..” a familiar voice said, it’s heizou’s you could feel him get off you and tie your hands together with rope. Panic started rising from you not only from being caught but also from being caught by him, he turns you around to face him ripping off your mask. You can see his face morph from blank to confusion to realization and then anger.

If you weren’t sweating before you sure as hell are now, “[name]?” you flinch, after getting caught now your at the police station with heizou in front of you interrogating you. “If you tell me your plan and goal, this could go a lot quicker and smoother [name]” he said. You watch as he places down some files, “these are all the evidence that you didn’t cover” he explains, and your eyes widen. He chuckled “you probably thought you had it all covered and thought out didn’t you?”, he stared into your eyes clear hidden rage and betrayal in them. “But it was easy to track you once we had enough clues,” he says.

“I’m not telling you anything,” you say, heizou frowns. “Well you don’t really need to since we already know,” he says, your mouth hangs open, shock and panic rushing into your veins. “I just wanted to test you, you see, someone who was part of this little plan of yours ratted you out beforehand and all we needed was the mastermind who started it all, you,” he cooed practically mocking you. ‘That fucking bastard!’ you thought, “so tell me not as a detective but rather your old friend, why did you do this? The vision hunt degree is already over there is no use in trying to bring down the Raiden shogun anymore”.

You bite your lip “why should I tell you?” you spit out, he looks at you for a moment before laughing at you, “still stubborn I see” he said. “But if you want to know if you do tell me I can find a way to get you out of this or you can rot in a prison cell for the rest of your days,” he says with a smile as if he wasn’t going to possibly ruin your life. “You-” before you even start you stop yourself and closed your eyes ‘no I signed up for this when I started planning how to take down the Raiden shogun, and if I ever do fail to take the consequences, however..’ you frown ‘I still don’t want to rot in a prison cell..’

You look into heizous eyes and he smiles at you “looks like you made your decision than [name]?”. You stay silent for a few moments before nodding and telling him why you wanted to take down the Raiden shogun. Afterward, he kept you on lockdown while he figured out how to get you out of this mess you made. During the times he would visit you, you both made up and talked about the times when you two drifted apart and reminisced on old fond memories together. 3 months after that your case was finally closed and you swore to never do any more wrongdoings unless you were to rot in a prison cell for the rest of your days.

“So… this is it huh?” you look at heizou who was walking next to you, “yeah.. I still can’t believe you managed to pull that off with all the evidence they had on me,” you say. “Well it was certainly hard but at least it’s over now,” he tells a warm smile blooming on his face. You feel your cheeks grow hot and look away ‘these past few months together have reawakened your old crush on him’. “I guess this is where we part ways then,” you say slightly down by the fact you won’t be seeing him as often anymore. “What are you talking about?” he says and you stop walking, “well since the case is over you’ll be busy and I still need to sort out my life so I just thought..” you say. His eyes harden at your words and he frowns slightly “we just made up and now you want to leave again?”.

“No, but-” “no buts!” he cuts you off, gently grabbing your hand and holding it to his chest, he moves closer to you “do you feel that?” he whispers, you can, there was a slight thumping under your hand. “That's my heart, see what you do to me?” that's when you realize his flushed cheeks and heart-filled eyes. “I have always loved you [name], when we drifted apart it made me down and the first time we met again after that was when you were arrested by me�� he starts, “I was hurt that you were doing such a thing but I wanted to give you a chance to make things right” “you did and I only realized how that my feelings for you haven’t changed” he brings your hands to his lips and kisses the top of your hand, “I love you [name], please be mine,” he says looking into your eyes.

“I- yes!” you say wrapping your arms around him, bringing both of you close into a hug. He rests his head on your shoulders, “thank you [name]♡”.

hope you enjoy anon!

Pullin’a bit of a fast one, but I was quite curious. 👀

For the character questions; Mist/no.96? 🩵

Oooooo The Fun Astral, now this is a spicy character we're talking about in zexal, and I have some thoughts on him. Although I have to admit I didn't pay enough attention to him in the past rewatches, so my memories may be a bit fuzzy about him, but I always found him to be an intriguing villain in Zexal, so here lays my truest thoughts on Dark Mist, aka Mr. No.96

•How do you feel about this character

I really liked Dark Mist as a character, he's just a living and breathing slimy liquorice who likes to wrap tentacles around Astral and is so horny for hi- I mean posses him and dreams about making out wit- I meant become independent and powerful of course (we've all been there...) BUT SERIOUSLY THOUGH THIS MAN IS SO DOWN BAD FOR ASTRAL HE KEEPS MOANING HIS NAME EVERYTIME HE'S FRUITY ASF─

There is also a part of me that feels like he didn't appear often enough or there were missed opportunities to kind of hit the mark in terms of writing, but this is Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal we are talking about I didn't expect anything less about a show who keeps shoehorning protagonists and put unnecessary filler over actually interesting side characters (this is my and my opinion alone and I will stand by it).

Ideally what Dark Mist represents is an interesting concept, if Astral is the light then he's the darkness. "Where there is light, there is darkness" Dark Mist said in one episode, implying Astral needs to use the "Power of evil" aka No. 96, when necessary, or a part of Dark Mist will always be within Astral, but they don't use this concept beyond one episode, it's just cheap writing making him to appear once in a blue moon throughout the show and dip just like that.

Later we discover that he is born from a fragment of Don 1000 trapped in Astral and took the identity of a Number card, as Astral likes to randomly split into cards because Yu-Gi-Oh - but what I found very interesting is he's not either on Astral world's side, nor the Barian world, even though he was born from a fragment of the Barian God himself. He's just a free spirit who does everything for his own benefit, but in doing so he keeps getting sent to horny jail- I meant get sealed by Astral.

He is cunning enough to let himself be absorbed by Astral just so he can play him inside the Emperor's Key, which is very smart of him, but then he is trapped in a cycle of...

I feel like the writers just didn't know what to do with him at this point, he's as threatening as the Trix in Winx club (like- I can even draw parallels and similarities) and Astral keeps winning against him again and again cause 'Good triumph over evil yay', seriously I feel like he's a missed potential. Also can we talk about how many times he broke free? Like Astral, what lock are you using to seal him lmao?? (The writers doesn't even explain this btw)

Later on, No.96 just decided to trick Astral into releasing him and then for some reason decided to possess Donald Trump but good for him I guess.

ALSO

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE PURPLE LIPSTICK

LIKE OMG, I KNOW HE WAS A FRUIT BEFORE, BUT THEY TOOK IT TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL

He really put some lipstick and said "I'm a god now", can't blame him (Also I have to be honest about his God complex era, HE WAS SO ANNOYING, HE PROBABLY SAID "KAMI" MORE THAN KOTORI CALLING YUMA'S NAME)

Also him treating Vector as a pet while being used and Vector just seething inside was so funny to see, it's like a complete opposite end pair compared to Yuma and Astral.

Overall he's pretty solid, I just wish the writers treated him better and made him a more complex villain (like this guy wasn't in anyone's side they could have done so much more than "he bombs all three worlds cause he can now" like c'monnn they made him flat and one dimensional in the end compared to how he used to be???).

•All the people I ship romantically with this character

I like to ship him with Astral and Vector as a joke.

•My unpopular opinion about this character

He ate with the purple lipstick c'mon now

•One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon

I think I pretty much summed it up in the first part, but anyway he's not dead and alive in Zexal III canon.

tell me your lux's thoughts on sylas 😊

headcanons ✨ original lore

first and foremost, what's most important in my interpretation of lux is that i wholeheartedly believe she's been visiting sylas in prison for more than a year. reportedly — she was nineteen (and turned twenty) in the comics, but i don't agree with this timeline. for me, their connection was built up over longer period of time.

spoilers to lux comics, her and sylas' backstories and the mageseeker game below.

comicbooks: during the comics it is clear that lux is a clever girl — sneaky, smart, intelligent, cunning. why doesn't she see that at one point sylas is manipulating her towards his own goal? because she's in love.

she was probably sheltered most of the time, always under watchful gaze of her family (also having her marriage arranged later on!) and for the first time in her life she could be herself — not miss luxanna crownguard, but just lux — a lost teenager, mage trapped in a terrible country which would have her hanging if she only spilled a word. for the first time she was understood, didn't have to lie and pretend and had a friend and a teacher who helped her control her worst fear — her own magic. because of that she didn't need to worry about her hands (or other body parts) shining in public or around her family and that brought an indescribable amount of comfort, strengthening the bond between sylas and herself even more — because she could spend time with her family and friends without the constant fear of being caught with her inner powers.

she tried to protect and comfort sylas during his beheading, publicly revealing their relationship — it was crazy enough for royalty, for a crownguard!, to admit being friends with a convicted mage. if that wasn't a true proof of her love and loyalty, then i don't know what is. sylas was hated and sentenced to death and she ran to hug him for the last time, trying to protect him from being killed too. and he used her magic to destroy the city and kill innocent people. her magic.

she's betrayed and clearly heartbroken, but despite that, she pushes her feelings aside, still fighting for her people — other mages — guiding them towards safe routes to get out of town and pretending to be tasked to deal with those gifted with magic to save them. in my opinion, it's a coping mechanism — not having the time to actually go through any grieving about what she lost helps her deal with the whole situation. eventually, she escapes great city of demacia and stays in the forest, creating a safe space for every refugee in the form of a hidden camp.

the mageseeker: this is where things become complicated. we see her anger when sylas comes to her, she snaps back at him when he uses her once beloved pet name — she's deeply hurt but takes no bullshit, knowing it'll only end up with more pain — distances herself emotionally, even after sylas (seemingly) sincerely apologized for what he's done. only once she comes for some kind of help and forms a temporary alliance, but also states that there's nothing more than that. sylas' and lux's opinions on fighting for mages' rights in demacia differ greatly and she accepts the fact they'll never comrpomise. at this point i think she hides her true feelings yet again for the sake of greater good — protecting the refugee camp from mageseekers.

warriors video: here we see her true anger, all the emotions combined into what she truly believes — protecting all demacians from every kind of threat. she's not afraid of facing sylas in a battle. at this point, jarvan iv issued a decree that all mages are free to live in the kingdom, and so she could use her magic freely to summon galio for the fight with sylas and his freljord's allies.

finally, for the question itself — what are her thoughts about sylas? right now she's a soldier, and during war there's no time for such trivialities. she didn't have time to put her thoughts in order, so she has nothing to say about her former friend.

#windchaser #v : everywhere i go the light follows { canon }#other : keep believing { headcanons }#other : pushing my limits { character study }

this is gonna be long-ish but a couple of days ago i saw a post by @voidstilesplease (which i now cannot find) about alex and henry's plausible godly parents, and it got me thinking. a lot. and this is what came out of it—!

▍ 　HENRY is pretty simple to me. in the book, alex makes a comparison between him and apollo and overall it's just too fitting to pass on. so i say he's a child of apollo.

now usually, while they are fairly powerful, most children of apollo's abilities tend to be specialized in one direction rather than consisting in a general set like other demigods. in henry's case, i imagine he'd excel in the arts (like all of his siblings) and have powers linked to speech/poetry/writing. so, like, he can curse others to only speak in rhyming couplets, but can also heal people by singing a hymn to his father (or through storytelling; that's something he worked hard on). aside from this, like any other child of apollo, he's good at physical contests and games and anything involving throwing or shooting stuff. so while archery or hoops etc. are not his main skill he's good enough if need be. also, fun fact: in very rare cases a child of apollo can possess some form of photokinesis, and i just know in my heart that alex was so peeved by henry at first that he thought that was the case and that he had this kind of rare power but was hiding it or something (untrue. alex was just crushing hard and i want my northern star reference).

another thing alex suspects and used to go off about is henry being a legacy of aphrodite. i can neither confirm nor deny this, personally, but wouldn't be opposed at the idea.

▍ 　ALEX is way more tricky to me. my first guess was athena, but my issue with that is that nora is too much of an athena child herself and, well, we all know they dated briefly. even aside from that though, there's just something off to me. so, i bring options !

firstly, legacies. in my mind, both ellen and oscar are either demigods themselves or children of at least one demigod. this makes alex (and june) a legacy through ellen and possibly oscar! my reasoning for that is:

zeus: ellen claremont is so daughter/legacy of zeus coded it's insane. we know it's rare and that children of zeus hardly grow into adults without getting killed first. regardless, they are all naturally good leaders, as well as very ambitious and goal-oriented, and generally, they just have a very strong presence and a willful attitude.

mercury: oscar could be a child of mercury and one reason i like this a lot is alex's middle name. gabriel comes from his mexican heritage and was chosen in honor of the archangel gabriel, patron saint of diplomats, whose counterpart in roman mythology is mercury (or hermes, but mercury fits better imo). his children are usually cunning and nimble and very versatile in any skill, so basically “jacks-of-all-trades”. they excel in athletics as well as business (and, in hermes' case, thievery). they're fast and stealthy, and good with money. and of course, they can be very persuasive, thus making good spies and influencers. there's a great deal of charisma there.

so here's the deal. i can see two possibilities !

a) alex is ellen and oscar's biological son, thus a dual legacy.

as there is no fixed rule when it comes to demigods' children and how they inherit one, both, or neither parent's divine side (could be anything, according to riordan even a horse lol), i can see alex being mixed. he's so chaotic and lively and smart and charismatic and larger-than-life, he could embody traits from both zeus and mercury. it may be a bit less intense than if he was a first-generation demigod abilities-wise, but nothing to scoff at. it could also be interesting as legacies aren't usually treated the same as regular demigods, and the nature of their heritage and abilities is basically a game of chance when they are born, so i could see alex being a notorious, skilled, and passionate exponent of this minority.

b) alex is ellen's biological child (thus a legacy of zeus/jupiter, but with greatly reduced abilities derived from it in this case! it'd mostly just be his presence, really), his middle name is a nod to oscar's side of the family, but he was conceived with a god. as for which one, i'd suggest hephaestus.

hear me out! children of hephaestus are skilled builders and talented engineers. they can instinctively detect, identify, and operate any piece of machinery or metal. and in rare cases, they are blessed with the ability to create and control fire, or possibly even lava and volcanoes. in the book, june tells alex that he's got a fire under his ass, and he is shown to be clever, charismatic, restless and resourceful, as well as intense, headstrong, sometimes impulsive, and overall ablaze, in a way. to the point of burnout, if he goes on a tangent and is not careful. now, hephaestus blesses his children with this every few centuries, but i could see it here: the ability to create and control fire, in general, which is an extremely chaotic power that could burn anything near it no matter the intention, and the more fire is summoned and controlled, the more energy is drained. but i think it fits alex, he'd be careful and good with it. aside from the rest, that is.

TL;DR. henry: son of apollo, possible legacy of aphrodite. alex: either active legacy of mercury and zeus or son of hephaestus and legacy of zeus/jupiter.

#shut up fran.#rwrb #firstprince #au #alex claremont diaz #henry fox mountchristen windsor #i have...many thoughts in addition to these but i'm in a hurry to go to dinner so like. here. hello <3
