TFP: TIMESKIP | RID15 AU

Set 3 Years Post Predacons Rising & 1 Month post RID15 Finale [A Personal Rewrite/AU Of the TFP Kids Post TFP/RID]

Jasper, Nevada has become a quiet place for Jack, Miko and Rafael after their final goodbye with team Prime, and with Ratchet, when word that the Medic was needed reached their comms.

For the next 3 years, it was relative radio silence. No news from Cybertron, though they tried to reach out. They sent so many transmissions to their friends, yet not a single one returned to them.

Almost as if something blocked them from them, like something didn't want them in contact.

So, in the absence of their friends, their robotic family they had loved so much, the trio of kids put their all into making them proud.

They spent every day they could at Hangar E, and every year, on the anniversary of their departure, they would visit the old Outpost Omega-1.

They would hold hope for their friends to reach out, someday.

They had to...right?

-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

Miko dove head first into combat training, thanks to some strings pulled by Agent Fowler. When she wasn't sparring on a mat with her teachers, she was in the hangar, cheered on by Raf and Jack as she learned to translate those moves into the Apex Armor.

After some convincing too, of her parents when she turned 18, and some more strings pulled by Fowler, Miko made the base her home, and lived in Jasper full time. She'd even had her cats brought over from Japan, a fact that made her stay in the hangar less lonely, though she'd spent many dinners at Raf and Jack's homes regardless.

She'd trained her abilities in battle to a fine tuned machine, hoping for the chance to make Bulkhead proud when he walked through the groundbridge someday. Even took to a video diary, to catch him up on everything that had happened since they'd left Earth.

Rafael excelled in his studies to little surprise of many of the others in his presence. The young boy seemed to have matured overnight, and after a letter from Fowler to some colleagues in some colleges, Raf was skipped up a few grades, and was even taking some college courses online, to further his computing knowhow.

Taking up robotics as a hobby mostly, Rafael upkept the remaining Cybertronian tech left by their robotic team members. He remembered every lesson from Ratchet, and from the many times he also tried to help with Bee's voice box, so it was of little surprise to the team when Raf not only upkept but upgraded their base's tech. No better wifi could be found in Jasper, and access to every show they wanted was at their fingertips.

Still, Raf missed Bee, especially after seeing every transmission they sent go unanswered. His best friend had promised to visit, to write them back, call...had...he forgotten them?

He hoped not. Raf could never forget the scout, the one who'd help Raf find his own voice, among the chaos of his own home and family life.

-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

Jack changed the most and the least at the same time. He was still a gentle and quiet soul, but he was fiercely protective now, of Miko and Raf. He dove into his studies, and even skipped a grade, to the surprise of his mother. Studying under her even, Jack learned medical care for his loved ones behalf, especially with all the bruises Miko returned with after her sparring lessons. He joined, once in a while, when he had the energy to, but his energy had shifted to making sure both of his teammates were ok. For his 18th birthday, his mother surprised him with a real motorcycle of his own, after seeing how much he missed Arcee and their rides around Jasper. And Agent Fowler, who had begun dating June at this point, helped hook up Jack with a job alongside him, mainly harmless paperwork, but it would pay better than slinging burgers at KO Drive Inn did, which he appreciated.

His free time was often spent fixing up his bike, and riding out far, along the routes him and Arcee would take. He really hoped their messages would reach them someday.

Added Notes

Takes place 1yr after the ending of RID15/it's finale

June and Fowler got married by the time Jack is 19, which Jack actually was happy about, even if it shocked him a good bit at the start that they did begin to date.

Rafael has been checking every cryptid sighting website he used to, searching for any hint that Team Prime has come back.

Knockout has been, unbeknownst to Cybertronians and humans alike, been sneaking to Earth via rogue groundbridge of his own. It was where he lost Breakdown, and he continues to race still there [Yes this is bc of RID's use of his car model]

The kids came into contact with the Rescue Bots at some point, and they too have had issues contacting Cybertron, something that they tried to work on together but it did little in the end.

The 'Autobot' High Council had put a ban on travel to Earth, and had erased the coordinates from most databanks, as well as disrupting transmission from the kids to team Prime.

Crown City is located California for this AU

Outpost Omega-1 has been abandoned yes,the kids mainly use Hangar E, but regularly visit the old base since it's destruction.

Mattheo Riddle

Mattheo and Y/n through the years

also this is a Y/n Potter x Mattheo Riddle type story

this is purely j bc i can’t think of anything else to write

also, i am so not ready for school to start so like sum1 kill me b4 august 8th

that was a lil jokey joke no one start hating on me ok i’m depressed and suicidal so don’t start w the disrespectful thing <3

anyways, i hope u enjoy

Year One

“Your name’s Mattheo Riddle? Like, your last name is Riddle?” Y/n asked, completely shocked. “And you like going around school telling people that?”

He rolled his eyes. “You’re so funny.”

She shrugged. “I get it from my nonexistent parents.”

“Okay, orphan girl, let’s see you pass this test.”

“Okay, Riddle-Me-This, I’ll kick your ass at it.”

“Sure you will.”

Year Two

“Your last name is Riddle… isn’t it?” Y/n asked, looking around the Chamber of Secrets.

“It’s not what you think.” Mattheo said quickly.

She eyed the man behind him. “That’s Tom Marvelo Riddle… and you’re- you’re Mattheo Marvelo Riddle. So what is he?”

“I am Tom Marvelo Riddle.” Tom said irritably. “Voldemort is my past, present, and future.”

She eyed him. “You’re definitely attractive, Tom, but this weird voodoo shit is the type of witchcraft I am not studying.”

He rolled his eyes. “Son, kill her.”

“See? You heard that, Mattheo? Daddy Tom just called you son! You can’t tell me it’s not what I think now.” Y/n said angrily.

Mattheo gave her a pleasing look. “I’m telling you it’s not what it looks like.”

“But it is.” Tom said.

Y/n looked at him. “We’re having a conversation, and for some really old guy who wants, like, immortality or something, you’re not that wise. Like, clearly you’re being rude.”

“I don’t care! Son, kill her!” Tom yelled.

Mattheo turned to Tom. “I won’t. She can be resourceful to us. She’s Y/n Potter. Please, father. We’re friends. She’s a Slytherin. She speaks Parceltongue.”

Tom looked at Y/n suspiciously. “Speak then, girl.”

“What the bloody hell do I look like to you? Your servant?” Y/n asked irritably. “I did not just ruin Daphne Green Ass’s life and become queen bee of Slytherin for you to tell me what to do! I own this school now, got it? I am not gonna listen to some weird hologram type thing when you’re not even actually alive looking like that!”

Mattheo gave her a look. “Shut it.” He hissed.

She crossed her arms. “You’re such a good friend, Mattheo. Honestly. Telling me to shut it and begging your father not to have you kill me. And I thought Hogwarts was terrifying for a moment.” She said sarcastically.

Tom groaned. “You’re both fools!”

“Stop talking like that!” Y/n yelled. “You sound dumb and annoying! Talk like we do because I swear this whole Stone Age vocabulary is really starting to piss me off!”

“Hey, Tom!” Harry yelled, kneeling over Tom Riddle’s diary with a basilisk fang. “Get a load of this.”

Tom reached out. “No!”

But it was too late, Harry had already stabbed the diary and made Tom stumble.

Y/n smacked Mattheo. “You blithering idiot! How could you bring me down here?!”

“You wanted to save Harry!”

“Oh, so now saving Harry means almost dying with him?!” She snapped. “I’ll remember that one.”

“Oh, shut up!” He shot back.

Year Three

“Don’t try to kill me this year, huh, Mattheo.” Y/n joked as they sat at their usual table on the train.

He rolled his eyes. “I didn’t mean to.”

Draco sat beside them. “What’re you two going on about this time?”

“Mattheo almost killed me last year.” Y/n said brightly.

Draco looked at Mattheo. “She’s still not over it?”

“I could’ve died! Hello? Does you not see the problem with that?!” She yelled irritably.

“You weren’t going to die!” Mattheo yelled. “I wouldn’t have killed you and he couldn’t do it!”

She scowled at him. “Let me have my moment, Riddle-Me-This.”

Year Four

“Is that-“ Y/n started, grabbing onto Mattheo’s hand absentmindedly.

He squeezed hers. “Cedric Diggory.”

She covered her face in his shoulder. “That would’ve been me in the Chamber of Secrets. Why couldn’t it have been me?!”

“You’re so dramatic.” Mattheo said, rolling his eyes but still holding onto her tightly as he watched Mr. Digorry run down to where Harry was crying over Cedric’s body.

Year Five

“I swear that dwarf looking flamingo is getting on my last bloody nerves.” Y/n muttered.

Mattheo snorted, looking over at her. “I think you’re handling it all just fine.”

“Look at my hand!” She shrieked, showing Mattheo her hand that had three sentences cut into it with dried blood around it.

His eyes widened. “She did that to you?!”

“She gave me a pen to do it so I technically did it to myself.” Y/n corrected, her eyes watering. “It still burns.”

Mattheo rushed out of the common room and to Professor Umbridge’s office, barging in. “You can’t hurt her! I won’t allow it!”

“What was that, dear?” She asked innocently.

“Y/n. If she still has those cuts on her by tomorrow I’ll be letting my father know.” He said angrily.

She looked at him. “She was being disrespectful.”

“I don’t care what she was being. You better understand who’s higher authority in this, or you’ll end up dead on the street like the Mudbloods.”

She nodded slowly. “I’ll keep that in mind, dear.”

Mattheo hurried out and back to Y/n, holding onto her hand gently and looking at it. “I’ll have to find her little toy so she’ll have to find another way of punishing students, but I want you to know she’s not going to do this to you anymore. She won’t cause any harm to you as long as I’m here.”

Y/n smiled at him. “You’ve got more balls than I think you do.”

“Wanna test that theory?” He asked with a grin.

Year Six

Mattheo looked up at Lilith, who was pacing around his dorm. “You can sit down you know.”

“Shut it.” She hissed before going back to muttering to herself.

He got up from his bed and stopped her by putting both hands out onto her shoulder. “Stressing isn’t going to make this go away.”

“You’re in deep shit, Mattheo.”

“I know, love, but I’ll figure it out.”

“No. I can do it. I can kill him for you. I have reasons to and that way you can remain safe. You and Draco will be fine.”

“You’ll be killing someone, Y/n. I won’t let you do it.”

“I won’t let you follow in your fathers footsteps, Mattheo. I’m doing this and you can change my mind.”

He sighed. “Look, I know it’s scary, I know it’s risky, but I know I can do this.”

She paused then looked up at him. “And that’s exactly what I’m afraid of.”

Year Seven

Y/n hurried over to Mattheo. “He’s back.”

“What?!” He asked groggily, looking up at his fiancé through squinted eyes.

She looked at him. “Your father’s back, love. He wants you downstairs with the rest of us.”

“I’ll be down in a second.”

She pulled him off the bed. “You’ll be down there now. Let’s go.”

He stood up on wobbly legs and walked as quickly as possible behind Y/n. “Why’re we doing this so late?”

“They found my brother.” She whispered, her voice breaking. She cleared her throat and blinked back the tears she was holding before walking into the dining room where all the Death Eaters were.

“Mattheo, my son.” Voldemort said with a small smile. “And his fiancé, Y/n Potter. Lovely to see the both of you. Come sit, come sit.” They sat down on either side of him. “How’s the baby making coming along? I need a promise there will be another heir in case things go wrong.”

“Father, nothing will go wrong.” Mattheo lied.

Y/n looked at her soon to be father in law. “We have full confidence that this will be successful.”

“And you’re alright with me killing your brother?” Voldemort asked suspiciously.

Y/n sat up straighter. “He was a cruel person. I think you’d be doing everyone a favor.”

“The students at Hogwarts don’t think so.” Lucius cut in.

Y/n looked at him. “They don’t know him the way I do. Don’t forget,” she said, looking around, “i’ve spent more time with him than anyone else. Albus Dumbledore left us on the porch of our aunt and uncle for thirteen years.”

“He left you there for fourteen.” Lucius said.

She looked at him. “And that year away he sent me letters about almost everything.”

“But you didn’t find out about me until the next year?” Voldemort asked.

She nodded. “Exactly. Mattheo told me, actually- well he gave me a book about the history and all that.”

Mattheo chewed the inside of his cheek. “Why are we here, father? It’s the middle of the night.”

“We’ve heard of where Harry Potter might go. I have already sent Nagini on her way… If anyone hears anything or sees anything, let me know. The meeting is over now, everyone but the Malfoy’s, Y/n, Mattheo, and Severus can go.” Voldemort said, looking along the table with a smile showing off his ugly top teeth.

FE OC Week? I hope summoners count!

This is my girl, goes by she/her.

You know the Soul Gems of Madoka Magica? That's the basis of how Breidablik works here without the witching.

Character Art by @/pianofairie

Sprite @/missdash

Halloween costume art @/flamingopuuuunch

Her whole journey and some various facts are written on her profile card above I made using FEH assets but if you can't read it it's all under the cut.

Jane Violet Jasmine Age 19 Immortal due to Breidablik

World of Steel:

College freshman studying philosophy

Craves acceptance for who she really is

Fake persona trying to be the perfect "good girl"

Trying to hold onto the belief humanity is good until best friend is shot and killed

Cuts hair after losing belief and becomes more true to herself as the world ends

Askr uses her soul to power Breidablik effectively giving her a fresh start; she becomes a "soul in a jar"

Zenith:

Two sides: sweet, kindhearted, belief in justice, desires peace and protection of the innocent. But also vengeful, snarky, headstrong and wants the corrupt to be punished; holds grudges

Finally free to be herself and hates being told what to do, will usually do the opposite

Fears bees, heights, young children and the undead, her biggest fear

Keeps a diary to remember this world

Deals with PTSD and reoccurring nightmares from the shooting she survived

Her heart pendant is a non weapon form Breidablik

Hel's Queen:

After Zenith is at peace, rules Hel with Grima so Eir can rule a restored Ymir

Calmer and less headstrong, still a bit snarky and likes to tease

More of a guardian than a ruler, serves and protects Hel's residents but allows them to be on their own offering the occasional suggestion

If things get out of hand Grima will enforce what she creates

Peace doesn't last forever, always ready to be called upon once again

#fe oc week #summoner oc #feh #comes into the event fashionably late #I don't think I'll do every day since I missed day one I'll combine two prompts for a day #I’ll expand on some of this later in the week #ama as they say #I have so many comms from wonderful artists to share!

hi mom! il your requests are closed but I couldn't take this out of my mind.

hispanic Yn who moved to Japan their first year of high school, and now they're a second or third year. but they bust through the gym doors in the middle or practice and everyone's but Matsukawa and Hanamaki are like "Oh great, it's one if Oikawas crazy fan girls" but the rage in your eyes say other wise. And you like make a bee-line towards Matsukawa and Hanamaki screaming curses in Spanish like your life depends on it and everyone's like "Oh, nvm not crazy fan girl. just one pissed off girl, rip to those two" AND our lovely Iwaizumi "ik I'm hot" Hajime comes around hoping and praying to every God out there that his Spanish 1, 2, and 3 classes that he took don't fail him now. and he like tries to see what happened and he speaks to you in Spanish and turns out Matsukawa and Hanamaki did smth (idk what maybe they stole your notes? or read your diary that was full of how hot you found their number 4/Ace)

I think Iwaizumi would find you attractive cuz like who wouldn't?? your hot, hispanic, angry, passionate, you defend yourself, he saw you beat up a fully grown man in an alley once ans was like "Oh that's hot." You guys 100% end up dating and whenever someone asks how you met you both giggle before retelling the story.

I THINK IT'D BE SO CUTE AND FUNNY!! anyways, have a nice day mom and HAPPY SUMMER TIME WOOOOO!!!

I freaking LOVE this!! I actually think I have a request from you for Iwaizumi with a Hispanic reader! I think Iwa would be a perfect fit for a reader from another culture. I mean the man studied in California for goodness sakes!!

Spare Me: Chapter 1

Word count: 3,267

Summary: A young highborn girl takes pity on her father's recent prisoner, a prickly Spaniard m who was caught for simply stealing food, and decides to set him free before her father could act. Little did she know that that decision will cost her everything, including being disowned by her family. Out in the wilderness she comes across a familiar face, but will he be her salvation or her end?

A/N: New account new re-posting!

Chapter 1

It was the worst part of her day. The most boring. The part of the day of having to relearn things she’s already learned from her grandmother. Handwriting, reading and talking outloud to improve her speech performing skills. That was everything for Katerina Petrova already knew how to do. And quite well, she was aware.

Katerina Nikolov Petrova; the beautiful and only daughter of Ivo Dachev Petrova and Mina Ivoa Petrova.

She sat bordly in the study room of her castle of Maplestrand and she listened to her Elder continue their lessons. It used to be one of her favorite times of the day since she was twelve years of age. Her grandmother would take her up to the highest point of the tower so they could look out over the changing seasons while they study and write. But those days were long gone. Now she sat in the dark and gray bedchamber while her elder tried to educate her.

Katerina sat at the all oak desk, quill in hand and she doodled along the piece of paper before her. Inside along the slides were drawn vines with the images of lilies. Inside the paper were the notes she had taken from her Elder.

“My lady,” the Elder scolded to see the young woman doodling. “Are you paying attention to what I’m telling you?”

“Oh,” Katerina she set the quill aside. She sighed and placed her hands in her lap. “Apologies Elder.”

“You will be Lady of Maplestrand one day. It is best to stay out of your head and pay attention to your lessons.”

“I’ve already been taught all of these things, Elder.” Katerina let out another troubled sigh. “Everything I’ve written down I’ve written down before. I can show you my diary of the notes I’ve taken already.”

“It is not me you must explain this to.” The Elder scolded. “I will teach you what your father wants me to teach you.”

“Then I shall take it up with him.” Katerina stands. She was frustrated. She had the freedom to speak and say what she wanted. Yet she was totally disregarded. “I don’t want lessons for the rest of the day.”

The Elder sighed in disappointment as she watched Katerina grab her papers and books before leaving the room. She was greeted with the sunlight that lit it’s way through the windows of the hallways. Katerina smiled as she quickened her steps to reach her chambers. She opened the door of her chambers, setting her things down on her bed. She hurried to her bookshelf, grabbed her current read and hurried back into the hallways.

It was this time of day Katerina loved the most. When her lessons were over, she would take her favorite book and hurry to the gardens to enjoy the sunlight and the smell of the flowers around her. Summer was close to ending which meant the days will become shorter and colder. Flowers would die and the honey bees would hibernate. She was determined to enjoy those days as long as she could.

Katerina walked to her usual spot; a stone wall devoured in vines of flowers and buds still trying to bloom. She walked and sat in the corner of the wall. The cushion of vines and leaves softened as she sat, knees propped up as she opened her book. There she dived into their world. Outside her lessons she enjoyed reading about where she lived. Maplestrand to the Everhollow. What she really enjoyed reading about were the creatures that occupied her home. Outside of those castle walls were creatures she feared just from reading about them, not having seen them in person. It was what formed her fear of leaving.

Katerina dove further and further, filling her head about mermaids, griffins, seers, and even bridge trolls. She was extremely intrigued, turning page after page. She began to read a passage on the differences between griffins and hippogriffs when heavy and steady footsteps approached her. Katerina looked up and she immediately stood to see it was her father. He had a disapproving look on his face as she stared at her daughter.

“Father,” Katerina greeted. She bowed slightly to her aging parent.

“Your Elder told me you stopped your lessons early today.” Ivo said softly.

“I did, father.” Katerina held her book tight to her chest.

“Mind telling me why?”

Katerina frowned and looked down, knowing what she was going to explain was going to be thrown back in her face. “Because father, what I was being taught I already know.” She said carefully. “I thought it would be a waste of the Elder’s time.”

“That is not for you to decide, daughter.” Ivo wrapped his arm around hers and began to walk with her. “I do not doubt the intelligence of your mind, but one can never be too careful. Perhaps if you’ve been taught your lessons twice, you would remember them twice over. Do you understand?”

Katerina closes her eyes, “Yes, father.” She confessed, but only told him what he wanted to hear.

She had no intention of continuing with her studies. She looked down at the book in her arm, the lavender ribbon hanging down between the pages. Her book was all she needed. She knew that. She knew she didn’t need the lessons. She was a woman of 26, and she knew what was best for her. She wasn’t a princess. She wasn’t going to become a queen once her parents ended. Odds were she was going to be named the Lady of Maplestrand while the Lord assigned for her to marry would take over every one of her duties. Why have studies, she began to question all together.

Katerina closed her eyes as her father kissed her forehead before he walked away. She stood there and watched him go before a sudden commotion caught her attention. She turned to the wall to the right, placing her hand against the stone to watch a large handful of footmen returning to the castle, making their way across the small stone bridge towards the castle gates. But with them was something not entirely out of the ordinary. There was someone else with them, and he wasn’t a part of the group.

Katerina hurried back inside of the castle, book still held close to her chest as she hurried to the grand room. Ivo and her mother Mina were already present as the doors opened. Katerina remained in the shadows as to not be dismissed without witnessing what was about to happen. She held her book close to her chest as she watched the captured stranger be dragged into the room. He was not dressed like anyone else she’s ever seen. He wore an old, not complete set of armor, chainmail and boots. His clothes were weary and dirty but not ripped or shredded. He stumbled as she fought his captors, a sack placed over his head with his arms bound behind him, and Katerina understood. He must be a traveler. A thief perhaps. Stealing from one of their farms or gardens no doubt. It wasn’t out of the ordinary for thieves to be brought to her father when caught, but she had never witnessed it in person.

Katerina watched as they forced the man to his knees before her Ivo who approached. “What are we faced with today?” He demands.

“A thief my lord,” one of the scouts said. “We found him and one of his scum friends trying to steal from one of our supply carts.”Katerina held her breath as she watched her father reach forward and remove the hood from the thieves head. He had a head of shaggy brown hair. His face was dirty, covered in dirt . . . and blood? She couldn’t quite tell from the distance where she was, but what she could make out was the scowl the man had on his face.

“What is your name, dweller?” Ivo scolded. But the man didn’t say a word. He only shifted back and forth while on his knees, no doubt fiddling with the rope that bound his wrists together. Katerina placed her hand over her mouth as her father suddenly backhanded the man across his left cheek. “Answer me, scum!”

The man spit out blood from his mouth before turning his attention back to Ivo. “No respondo a la compasión de los pequeños señores, rata.”

Katerina was taken aback. Spanish. He was speaking Spanish. She had been studying the language for months and had barely gotten a grasp on it. But there was a Spaniard a few feet before her, and she couldn’t ask him questions.

“A Spaniard.” Ivo sneered. “Of course.” His eyes turned to ones in the room. “We have forgotten my friends, that the land of Maplestrand was once a savage, wild place. Where fearsome people and creatures roamed freely, unchecked and unchallenged. Much of my father’s blood was spilt to exterminate this vermin. But we were mistaken.” Ivo turned to the man and pointed his finger. “These people have been breeding like cockroaches under a rock! Growing strong. Watching us. Waiting to strike!”

Katerina held her mouth again as her father backhanded the Spaniard a second time. The man panted heavily before he turned his gaze back to the lord. She feared he was going to get to his feet and attack, even if his arms couldn’t be used. But instead he straightened himself on his knees and sneered.

“And we don’t like you . . . why is that?” He said in English. Katerina watched as Ivo took his chin, forcing him to look at him.

“I intend to strike back. Even if I have to cut down the entire forest to find the rest of you.” He released his chin and turned to the nearest soldier. “Take him to the dungeons.”

Katerina’s heart dropped as she watched the Spaniard be haule to his feet before being dragged out of the room. She remained in the shadows, listening to her father huff angrily and she closed her eyes.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The dinner table was quiet that night like it always had been. Proper family meant no speaking at the table unless there was a guest of high honor. The large room echoed with the sounds of utensils on plates and the crackling of burning wood. Katerina sat across from her mother as her father sat at the head of the table. She couldn’t bring herself to eat. Insead she sat there in silence, stirring her spoon around in her untouched food.

The Spaniard was still on her mind. How he was down in their dungeon most likely thinking he was going to die. She knew many men had gone down in that dungeon and had never returned alive. Was he hungry? Thirsty? Cold? Warm? Too warm? Too cold? Katerina shook her head. Her stomach was too upset and her head was too cloudy to eat or think straight. She set her spoon down in her bowl and she turned to her father.

“Father,” she began softly.

“No speaking at the table, Katerina.” Ivo said as he poured himself a fresh glass of wine. “You know this.”

“I just have a question.” She continued. Her father sighed and turned to his child, and Katerina cleared her throat. “Who was that man? The man the soldiers brought into the castle earlier today?”

“Spying on private matters were we?”

“No father. I was walking to the library room when I came across the situation. Who was that man?”

“He's no concern of yours.” Ivo takes a bite of his spoked pig. “If things go the way I’ve predicted, he won’t be anyone’s problem.”

“But father,”

“This is not up for discussion, Katerina.” Ivo snapped.

“Please my darling,” Mina spoke. “Leave this situation to your father. He knows what he’s doing.”

Katerina sat there in dumbfoundment. People liked to constantly remind her of how much she reminded them of her father. That reminder made her stomach turn to lead immediately. She knew how her father was and what he could be. He could be a monster. He could be selfish and unfair. Unfit to run and reside in Maplestrand. If that was the person she reminded so many people of, she needed to do things differently.

Katerina stands from her seat, grabbing her untouched bowl of stew, bread and cheese. “I will finish my meal in my room.” She said softly.

Ivo and Mina didn’t say a word as Katerina left the dining hall. Instead of venturing into her room, she snuck into the kitchen. There she wrapped up the bread, cheese and some cooked pork before grabbing a corked clay pot of water. Tucking the wrapped food into a sack, jug tucked in her arm. She left the kitchen in hurried steps.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Katerina rarely entered the dungeons. It was dark, cold and dingy. Not to mention some parts were infested with rats. Especially in the winter when the little creatures were desperate for shelter. Katerina, with torch in hand, made her way through the dark. She kept her eyes on the ground in the fear of stepping in something she had no wish to. She looked behind her to make sure she wasn’t being pursued before she stopped. She could hear him struggling somewhere in the dark, grunting and mumbling angrily.

Katerina takes a deep breath, gripping the torch tightly in her hand, and she peered into the nearest cell. There he was. All alone in the darkness of the cell. Katerina peered in closer to see his arms bound behind his back around a wooden pole that accompanied every cell. A cloth gag was stuffed into his mouth as she struggled and fought the shackles that held him. He immediately caught sight of the light outside the bars, and he stared at her.

Katerina felt her blood run cold as they looked into each other's eyes within the dark. She took a deep breath, placing the key she snatched into the lock. She opened the door with the hinges creaking. She placed the torch on the wall and she turned to the man who, surprisingly, wasn’t sneering at her. He seemed confused at most. Confused as to why this beautiful woman was approaching him. Taunt him? Make him feel inferior?

Katerina shakily approached the man she knew could easily overpower, attack or kill her. She set the bag and jug down and she held up the key in her hand. “Don’t kill me, when I uncuff you.” She requested softly.

The Spaniard remained silent despite the gag being stuffed in his mouth. Katerina carefully made her way around him before getting on her knees. Her hands shook and trembled as she placed the key into the cufflinks around his wrists and they became undone. Katerina backed away from the man who pulled his wrists to him, rubbing the red and chapped skin before ripping the gag from his mouth.

He turned and watched Katerina hurry back to her things and he sneered. “What are you doing here, princesa?” He spat angrily. Katerina stood with the bag and jug in hand, and she handed them to him.

“I wanted to bring you these.” She said softly.

“Why should I trust anything you bring me?” The Spaniard growled, pointing an accusing finger.

“I don’t have a reason to deceive you. I’m not supposed to be down here providing you with comforts. I could get into trouble by my father if caught but,” Katerina looked down before she stepped closer more determinedly. “I know you must be hungry.”

The Spaniard stood there, reluctant to trust that angel face. With her big brown eyes, curly brown hair and thin figure the way her gown hugged her. She was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. He could see her hands were shaking as she held the bag and jug in separate hands. He merely took one step and he could see the young woman try not to back away. He wasn’t one to be sentimental towards anyone, but a pretty woman was every man’s weakness. Especially a kind one.

He carefully took the jug and bag from her delicate hands and Katerina pulled her hands back to her. She watched as he turned away from her and he sat down against the wall nearest to the light. He sat down and ripped open the sack to see the wrapped bread, pork and cheese and his eyes seemed to shine in excitement. Katerina sat down to his far right and watched him dig into the bread first, becoming ravenous the more he ate. He turned his attention to the jug and he pulled the cork open to take a drink of what tasted like milk and he groaned.

Katerina placed her hands comfortably in her lap, and she gathered the courage to speak again. “What is your name?” She asked softly.

The Spaniard was silent for a moment as he seemed to swallow his food whole without chewing. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand before he looked at her. “Tovar.” He said. “Pero Tovar.”

“Pero.” Katerina repeated and she smiled. “Meaning rock. Appropriate.” Pero looked at her questionably and she quickly explained. “Rock as in-in meaning, strong. Most men, I heard, when placed in the pitch dark, immediately beg to see light again.”

“Why are you down here, princesa?” Pero Tovar spat again as he took a mouthful of pork and cheese at once. “Making conversation with me. Why?”

“I just, I was, well,” Katerina looked away. Her mind reeled to try and find the right words to say, and she sighed. “I was just curious as to why you were arrested and brought here.”

“Hmph.” Pero sets an empty rag aside before focusing solely on the meat. “Ask your father.”

“My father doesn’t want me to be involved in his affairs.” Katerina watched Pero stop chewing, and he turned his hard and cold gaze to her.

“You don’t know how big of a monster your father really is, do you?” He said. A chill ran down his spine at the tone in his voice, and she shuttered. “You wonder why people like me steal from your father. From his gardens and farms. He starves people he feels are inferior to him. Northmen. Southernmen. Spaniards. Why do you think we’re leaving? Stealing supplies because we’re starving. I have companions who fear that they will die hungry. Whatever family they grow will suffer and die from hunger. We planned to leave. Travel to a better, prosperous and free land where we can grow our own food and livestock. To get away from your heartless father.”

Katerina sat there, stunned and she watched him turn his attention back to the food she had brought him. She didn’t want to believe him. She loved her father of course, but she never pictured him as a monster. He could be cruel of course. Hateful even. But starving people he simply didn’t like? She never heard of such a thing.

“I don’t believe you.” She said softly, her hands trembling in her lap as she watched him finish the jug of milk.

“Didn’t ask you if you believed me or not.” Pero handed her the jug and empty rags. “It’s the truth no matter how you take it.” He walked and sat back down against the pole. He placed his arms on top of his right knee and narrowed his eyes. “Now shackle me back up before you end up here with me.”

studyblr intro

Hey y’all! I’ve always been inspired by posts from the studyblr community, not only because of everyone’s individual aesthetic, but also of the consistency and support given to each other. After reaching some new lows as a student this past year, I decided to start this blog for motivation and to hold myself accountable. My studying style is seriously not aesthetic at all; my laptop is my notebook, textbook, and sometimes agenda/calendar, all-in-one. So the main purpose of this blog is to record my progress as an academic diary of sorts.

Since I’m a procrastinator and my favorite form of procrastination is reading, I’ll probably add in a little post here and there about current books I’m reading as well. :)

about me

my family calls me Bee

english, intermediate german

senior in college (4th year undergrad)

majoring in information science and minoring in information technology

most of my studies are about data, analytics, hardware technology, and knowledge work

i’m always either under caffeinated or over caffeinated, no in-between

interests

reading

piano

trying new restaurants with friends

going to university sports events

stress-baking (constantly looking for easy vegan recipes)

curating Spotify playlists

ao3

programming

blogs that inspire me

@luthiest, @phdhomebody, @lazy-cat-studies, @codingwithxrii, @likeshestoleit, @whisperofpetrichor, @lawstudyblr

would you be comfy sharing some of the fic ideas you have? just some general premises to get us excited? the fandom is booming rn and we’re all so glad you’ll be putting out more stuff <3

For sure! Though I’m gonna keep them vague so as not to spoil anything!

There are two multi-chapter fics that I hope to post some day, though I currently have no plans as to when as they’re still in their early stages.

- Fake dating AU, where Callie needs a wedding date and Arizona agrees to help her out. Its a bit of a cliche one I know but I’m hoping to put my spin on it!

- A ‘The Family Man’ style AU. If you haven’t seen it it’s a Nicolas Cage film where he wakes up one day in a ‘glimpse’ of what his life could have been like had he made a different decision many years ago. So I’ve started writing something based on this except with calzona, and so far I’m really enjoying it however I haven’t made much progress since Christmas.

Other ones I’ve started that I may or may not continue with:

- A sort of ‘coincidental meeting’ type coffee shop AU. The idea I started with was ‘Every morning I like to buy a pastry from my favourite coffee shop, yet multiple times this week someone has bought the last one minutes before I got there’, and then went from there. It’s very fluffy and cute and I might continue it as a short piece, but I’m not sure.

- A one shot of Arizona looking back over the mess that became their relationship post divorce. Quite heavy lol.

- Another one shot sort of from Mark’s perspective RE the birth of Sofia and the dynamic between Callie and Arizona. I quite liked this but never got very far.

- A third one shot based on the prompt I saw on tumblr one time that was ‘come back tomorrow morning when you’re sober and then we’ll talk about me tattooing my name on your ass’

Ideas that came into my head but do not exist in word form (and probably never will):

- Future Callie looking back on a summer fling she had in her youth, written in diaries. Fling is based in ‘I was sent away to spend the summer with my grandparents (which I was not happy about) but ended up meeting this very perky and cute surf instructor’

- I definitely won’t ever write this but I was listening to the song Casimir Pulaski Day by Sufjan Stevens and into my head came fully formed a story based on it. I’d never write it because it would involve a lot of heavy topics (ie, bible study and religion and how that alters queer youth’s perspective of themselves, and also illness and death), but I think it would be a very interesting exploration. Also somewhat reminds me of a cophine fic I read years ago called Train Under Water which made me sob like a BABY but it was so good.

That’s all the ones I have presently, though it’s unlikely that I’ll actually write many of them so I don’t want to get any ones hopes up - I’m quite a busy bee irl!! I am excited however to write more and post more as soon as I can. Thank you for following my work!

Dear Diary,

Whew...! So much has happened since my last entry, I don't even know where to start. Todays aura is unfortunately a very soft blue, so soft it's almost not there. I feel this way because I am blue and feel invisible, unheard. I had been having many good days in between this entry and the last. I went to the cinema with my friend and watched an AMAZING rom com, it was so lovely, we must go together to another sometime. I loved seeing her, we went to a Korean wing place after and the food was great and they kept playing BTS songs, YAY! Since then, I had been straight STUDYING with my besties, working hard for our last assessment. I think it went okay, freaked a bit but it was fun doing it with a friend. We went to Nandos after and they helped me film a video for an application which was so much fun! We parted ways and I miss them so much already, but I'll see them soon! Fast forward and I'm back home. The journey was good, thankfully, but being back isn't what I'd hoped. Just now, we had to move a bunch of stuff out of the garden but there were a ton of bees so it was hard. Regardless, I did a lot whilst the others didn't do anything, until mum and stuff came out, suddenly my brother was a hero doing everything and complaining that me and my sister did nothing. It was infuriating. And then he took my idea for a solution to a problem we had and my mum wouldn't even listen to my explanation of the situation, but listened when my sister's dad said the exact same thing. I felt unheard and unimportant. They recognised that I was sad, and my mum hugged me after but I still feel blue. I'll throw myself into my work to feel better. Writing this out definitely helped at least. 💕

Abyss Diary - Chapter 1: A Sudden Invitation

In the Moor Forest, the morning sun rises slowly, like Helios saying "hello" or "good morning" to all living beings. The sun shines into the earth, and many flowers and plants are awakened by this warm light. The colour of the river bank in the southwest is like a bright aurora flowing slowly. The wind blows from the east, and the rustling of the leaves is pleasant as if a person is sitting under a tree and listening to a wonderful tune. This morning, the butterflies and yellow bees started to go to the flowers to collect nectar and then returned to their nests to start making honey. I heard that eating a tablespoon of honey in the morning not only makes people full of energy but also makes people stay young forever. It can be called a natural skin care product. Under the clear light, everyone got up and opened the window, and everyone said "good morning" to each other. So, they went about their own business.

In the very centre of this place, there is an extremely huge tree, which people respectfully call "the tree of the world". This tree has a long history. It was accidentally created when the gods created the world. The tree created by the agarwood has lush green leaves growing on the top. shine brightly. It is as beautiful as a diamond, so people also call it the "tree of crystal bloom". At that time, some minority races studied magic on their own, and some studied the tree together until the auspicious time, served the tree every day, and created a banquet belonging to each race, so it became a tradition called "Moor's Feast". According to the inhabitants of the Moore Forest in the past, there is no master in the Moore Forest, because they belong to a race that does not compete with the world. But they have many guardians silently guarding the safety of this forest. However, there is a very bold man. He lives in the "World Tree" by himself and transforms it into a tree house.

"Brothers and sisters, I'm going out to do some shopping. As for breakfast, what do you need?"

"Bread, milk, muffins!!"

"Okay, okay, wait a moment."

The man was carrying a bamboo and rattan basket, opened the door and went outside to shop. He met the crowd and said good morning, and they said good morning back. This person is in his thirties, with a dignified body, a handsome appearance, and a dignified appearance. A pair of eyes shot cold stars, and two eyebrows were like paint. The chest is wide and broad, and there is an invincible majesty. People saw him as characterized by crimson eyes and black beautiful hair because he was the first person with crimson eyes, plus that side bang, so he was loved by people. He went into a tree house made out of a bakery. His clothes are the same as those of ordinary people, but the clothes are long-sleeved and the trousers are longer.

The doorbell rang, and the owner of the bakery started working happily when he saw this person. "Lucifer, you are finally here!" The man (Lucifer) smiled and said: "Boss, you are still like this after all these years." The bakery owner said: "Oh, only Mr Lucifer is here, I must I will serve you!" As he spoke, he took the basket in Lucifer's hand and began picking out the necessary breakfast food. Afterwards, Lucifer came to the cash register, and the bakery owner carefully counted the bread, milk, muffins and other breakfasts in the basket. "Okay, there are two hundred silver coins in total. As a regular customer, I will count you one hundred silver coins." Lucifer took out one of the money bags from his trouser pocket and handed it to the bakery owner, and then picked up the basket and waved away.

After that, Lucifer went to a flower shop. Seeing Lucifer, the proprieties of the flower shop warmly entertained him: "Mr Lucifer, what kind of flowers do you want?" Lucifer thought for a long time and said, "I want the morning flower." The proprieties immediately said: " Good!" Then she went to pick flowers in the backyard of the flower shop. This backyard is very close to the World Tree. Many customers like to buy flowers and are not used to going out, so there is this flower shop and backyard. Lucifer, watching the backyard flowers, said, "Today's flowers grew very well. They're better than yesterday." The proprieties said, "Yeah, luckily that yesterday was not raining. And the flowers were not damaged." As she talks with Lucifer, she keeps collecting the sunflowers and making their bouquets. "Here's your flower, and congratulations that you're becoming one of the Archangels soon." She gave the flowers to Lucifer. Lucifer took the bouquet of sunflowers and said, "Thank you, miss." Then, Lucifer leaves the flower shop.

As Lucifer walks everywhere, everyone comes to him and says the words same as what proprieties said. Lucifer acts a little surprised and doesn't think anymore, he steps back to the tree house.

"I'm back."

Some people who staying at this tree house heard Lucifer's words, rushing to the dining room and sitting at the dining table. Lucifer put the breakfast and some flowers on the table, and then he put the breakfast on the plates and serve to them, lastly putting the flowers in the vase. Have two people grabbing the bread at the same time, and both of them started arguing and yelling at each other.

"The bread is mine, Michael!"

"No, it's mine, you damn Gabriel!"

The boy was named Michael, and the girl was named Gabriel. The appearance of both is the same as a teenager. Michael is dressed in white clothes, under the sword eyebrows that are neither thick nor light, the narrow and long eyes are like gurgling spring water, warm and moist like a spring breeze, the nose is hanging like a gall, straight like a blue distant mountain, the lips are so thin that the colour of the lips is pale, and the corners of the mouth Slightly evoked, it seems that the man is unrestrained. While Gabriel is a hibiscus beautiful face, blushing cheeks, starry eyes like waves, and pity and shyness in the eyes, the current situation is like a dream, a person can't help but stare dumbfounded.

Their sound already shouted Lucifer, Lucifer going to stop them. "Enough you two" Lucifer is using force magic to stop Michael and Gabriel. This power shocks and suppresses Michael and Gabriel, "Lucifer, stop now." Gabriel said. "We cannot handle this 'Gravity Manacle', please stop," Michael said.

'Gravity Manacle' is one of the control magics. Use this magic to bind at least four targets and continuously limit their mobility. This magic was created by Lucifer. The purpose is to help reverse the situation as much as possible unless it becomes one of the ultimate moves under unavoidable circumstances.

"Brother Lucifer, calm down." One of the people comes to Lucifer and stops him. "Yeah, Lucifer. Calm down and we talk peacefully." Another one also comes to stop Lucifer. Lucifer sighed and stop casting 'Gravity Manacle'. "Raphael, Seraphiel, are you two awake already? And you two prepared or not? It's late for now. Faster, now!" Lucifer said. "Damn, we're already late! Dinner don't worry about us, we'll fix this, Lucifer!" Both Raphael and Seraphiel said.

Raphael and Seraphiel are twins, and both of them look the same, with youthful and moonlight-white skin. But their personality is different, Raphael is a type of working hard person, while Searphiel is a loving caring type of person.

Lucifer calmed a while, now he's slamming on the table and scolding Michael and Gabriel. "Michael, Gabriel. Why are you two still fighting and arguing with each other?! Didn't I tell you two must care for each other regardless of the situation? How could you two forget it easily?!" Michael and Gabriel looking Lucifer in rage, they wanted to apologize to Lucifer but he left with the vase of sunflowers. the only thing they can do is apologize to each other. After that, they're going to Supreme Council to work.

With Lucifer, he's taking the sunflowers to the garden at the back of "The World Tree". He's heading to the grave and putting the sunflowers on it. "Mother, here's your sunflowers," Lucifer said and he's sitting behind it. "Today is not a special day, just visit you..." Lucifer said but silenced, he's taking a handkerchief to clean the grave of his mother and said, "Mother, you warned me that don't get angry easily... But I did already..." Lucifer is taking an amulet from his pocket, it's made by the feathers of the bird and some beads. This amulet was the last gift of Lucifer's mother when he was twelve. He cannot do anything for his mother but looking her death peacefully. Lucifer never shows any emotions to anyone, only facing the grave, he'll burst out of his emotions. After that, he's going to the courtyard, sits on the bench and reads a book. Lucifer didn't know how long he read the book and slept.

After almost half an hour, two priests from the Supreme Council came to the courtyard. "Lord Lucifer," they called. Lucifer woke up, looked at both of them and asked, "Is anything a problem?" Both of them answered, "Lord Lucifer. there's a problem with the staff's replacement. Please come back to Supreme Council immediately." Lucifer heard, he was heading back to the tree house and changed outfit of Supreme Council, then he followed them going to Supreme Council.

No matter where Lucifer passed by, everyone saw him and congratulated him for becoming the Archangel of the Supreme Council.

The distance between Moor Forest and Supreme Council is only 4.5 miles, need to use twenty minutes to reach Supreme Council.

"They're still in a meeting, please wait outside." The two priests told Lucifer and went inside the meeting room. Lucifer reading a book for leisure time, and suddenly he heard some argument sounds.

Inside the meeting room, an Archangel slammed the table and said, "This is ridiculous. How could the Endless Abyss want Lucifer to join these monstrous creatures?!" The other Archangel also said, "Yeah, we're never let them push so hard." At the centre of the table, the Supreme God of the Supreme Council said, "The Endless Abyss changed the Demon Lord because of the death of the former Demon Lord. I already told them never to let Lucifer join them, but they still wanted to be." The Archangel said, "But we can't let them get what they need! God, can you stop their madness?" The Supreme God sighed, and said, "Now there is a new Demon Lord. Recently there has been news of an outsider invasion. This is busy. For today's plan, we have to sacrifice him." Many Archangels heard the Supreme God's words, they cannot do anything but obey.

Outside, Lucifer heard everything and was shocked. He never expected that will have happened to him one day. He was waiting outside until the Supreme God called him to come inside.

"You want to see me, Father?" Lucifer asked. "Yes, my child. Come here and talk with me." The Supreme God said. Lucifer was sitting behind him, the Supreme God holding his hands and said, "You heard everything, right?" He asked Lucifer. Lucifer didn't say anything, he nodded his head at the answer. Supreme God said, "We have been father and son for more than twenty years. Although your mother passed away when you were young, I have seen your transformation. Calm, smart, fighting, working hard, desperate. Even, if you have a perfect will, no one can compare with you." Lucifer heard and said, "It's thanks to you, Father. If I wasn't taught by you, I'll not have these results until now."

They talked a lot until the Supreme God tells him a question. "Lucifer, are you sure that you're resigning from your work?" Lucifer said, "Yes, I have to think clearly. Father, let me join them. I promise you that I won't fall easily." Supreme God looked at Lucifer and worried, said, "It is our fault to ask you to bear all this..." Lucifer said, "It's okay, Father. I'm already thirty, and I need to face everything by myself. And can you please don't tell Michael and the others? I'm afraid that they're doing some weird things when they know I'm joining Endless Abyss." Supreme God nodded his head, and Lucifer says thanks to him. And they're planned secretly, let Michael become the new Archangel of the Supreme Council. As the reason, only Lucifer and Supreme God knew.

After that, Lucifer went to his room and packed his stuff. He heard both boys rushing to his room. "Don't rush into the hallway, Crimson! How many times have I already told you?" A boy with emerald green hair said. "Don't mind me, Juniper. Now Lord Lucifer is leaving here. And we must help him pack stuff." The boy with crimson red hair said to that boy.

Lucifer chuckled and said, "Crimson, Juniper. You both already know?" The red hair boy named Crimson said, "Yeah, Lord Lucifer. I was shocked that you resigned from your work and join Abyss." Lucifer patted Crimson's head and said, "Look at you, cry already?" Crimson wiped his tears and said, "No, I'm not."

"I will always follow Lord Lucifer everywhere. Please, Lord Lucifer, let me serve you again." Lucifer heard Crimson's words and said, "Sure, you're always serving me. Juniper also." Crimson was happy and hugged Lucifer tightly, and Juniper was surprised and accepted. Lucifer asked, "And you two, haven't packed stuff?" Crimson heard the sentence, grabbed Juniper and rushed back to their room and said, "Okay Lord Lucifer, wait for us!" Lucifer laughed and continue to pack stuff.

In Crimson and Juniper's room, both of them finished packing their stuff. Juniper asked Crimson, "Crimson, I have some questions to ask you." Crimson said, "Just asked, I'll answer." Juniper said, "Do you know where's Lady Samantha now?" Crimson thinks and said, "I don't know. The last time I saw her, and she told me that have an emergency in her family, want to pack stuff and leave. But I remembered that she's an orphan, her parents passed away when she was six. I don't know what's the reason..." Juniper heard and said, "I see... And, how about Lady Linnet?" Crimson heard 'Linnet' this word, he was angry and said, "Don't mention this traitor. Don't you remember that what's bad news on her, and almost make Lord Lucifer lose responsibility on Supreme Council?!" Juniper sees Crimson was angry, and he's going to comfort him, "Okay fine, don't be angry. I won't mention her anymore." Crimson, "And you're gonna cook dinner for Lord Lucifer and me. Okay?" Juniper nodded his head and said okay to him. After that, they're taking their stuff and leave Supreme Council with Lucifer.

Time already passed to the night, at Moor Forest.

The dinner only Lucifer, Crimson and Juniper ate. After they finished the dinner, Lucifer went inside the kitchen again and cooked the dinner for Michael and the others. After that, Crimson and Juniper cleaned the inside of the tree house. While Lucifer is sitting at the desk and writing a letter to Michael and the others. After that, Lucifer blows away the light of the candle and leaves the tree house.

Crimson and Juniper follow Lucifer's steps and go to Endless Abyss. Lucifer, Crimson and Juniper look at the "World Tree" and leave the Moor Forest. But there's something that Lucifer doesn't know, he'll face some difficulties and problems, and even the heart of many creatures.
