Currently in wedding mood and brainrotting about how will the proposal go. Aaaaa đ„°đ„°
~đŠđŸâšïž
I love writing wedding proposals, they just are so beautiful and full of love, I hope you enjoy! <3
P.s. I did cut out alot of them but I will most likely make a second part!
ââ°â âčàžșđđŸđđđ€đđđ âđđđđđđđ đđ€â°â âčàžșđ
{àŒ»~Will you marry me?~àŒș}
CW: Very fluffy! (Pet names: Lyney: Mon amour, Albedo: My love, Wanderer: dummy, Kazuha: Butterfly)
(Includes: Lyney, Albedo, Xiao, Wanderer, and Kazuha!)
âĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄ
đàŒLyney:
Lyney held up a card for you, but it wasn't like any of the others in his deck, in fact it wasn't even one you'd ever seen before, "Ooo did you get new cards Lyney? I thought I'd seen all your trick ones!" He chuckled softly, knowing full well that the card in your hands was not only one of his tricks...but also his whole heart, "This ones particularly special Mon amour, watch~"
You trained your eyes on the card, paying close attention as his hand waved over it, just like magic, the picture changed...showing nothing but a ring, a beautiful ruby ring. You weren't sure what it meant, if this was a trick of the eyes...or possibly a moment you'd been dreaming of, "Lyney-"
"What do you say? Care to spend forever together? Cause...I know I want to. I want to spend every single day with you." The magician smiled at you sweetly, you felt like your heart might explode, tears welling up in your eyes. There wasn't any other option, "Yes! Of course yes!"
"Phew, I was getting alittle worried." He pulled you close so he could kiss your cheek and before you could even open your eyes, he'd changed the card into the ring it had once shown.
đàŒAlbedo:
"What are you up to my love?" Albedo sat down next to you, his arms wrapping around you almost automatically so he could pull you close and rest his chin on your shoulder. He just loved being so close to you, holding you and just watching whatever you were doing, it was almost like his way of studying what you liked.
"Just reading something. It's a love story and truthfully it reminds me of us." You leaned back into him, laying your head back so you could see his reaction...to your surprise...he had a slightly mischievous look.
"Do they? I suppose it isn't to difficult, our romance is truly out of a novel...do they happen to get married in the end?"
Your heart skipped a beat and suddenly you felt flustered, "Yes...why do you ask?"
"Just wondering if it's as accurate to our love story."
"But we arent-"
"Not yet, but if you say yes we could be~" He kissed your cheek as he reached into his pocket, retrieving a small black jewelry case.., "I promise it will be a happily ever after~"
đàŒXiao:
"You arranged your teapot?!" You were in awe, unable to even form a coherent thought as you looked at the now beautifully decorated surroundings. Xiaos domain had originally never changed since he received his teapot, in fact he almost never used it as he preferred to sleep outside. He was originally going to give it to you...say you could build a home for the two of you to live together, but then something had changed his mind.
"I'm...sorry if it's not perfect. I was going to ask for help from the other adepti, but I decided I wanted it to be my own creation. My creation of the perfect spot for us..."
Your cheeks became dusted with a light pink as he spoke, he'd made the perfect spot for the both of you...and he'd done so in the perfect way. "Xiao I love it! We are going to live here together right! This will be our home!" You couldn't contain your excitement, you wanted to run into the home in the middle and squeal, but he seemed to have something else to say.
"Yes...but it's also more than that." He stepped closer to you, his hand gently intertwining with yours as he stared deeply into your eyes...he captivated your attention so easily when he did this, "I want this to be the place of our wedding. The place where we make our promise..."
"W-wedding??"
"Yes...if you will have me. I would like to marry you. Please?"
đàŒWanderer:
"Can I open my eyes yet?" You groaned quietly, trying to peek through the cracks in Wanderers fingers as he lead you deeper into the forest, to a area you'd thought was off limits. You didn't know what had gotten into him, why he was so keen on making sure you couldn't see anything until he said so...why he seemed so absolutely and utterly nervous. He never got nervous, flustered maybe, but nervous? Maybe he was plotting something, "You're not trying to kill me are you?"
"What in teyvat are you talking about? If I wanted to kill you do you really think I'd go through the effort of bringing you here?"
"Maybe. Maybe I'd know if I could see where here is..."
"You can look in just a minute. Now shush and watch out for the branch at your feet."
"You said just a minute 5 minutes ago." You felt yourself wanting to roll your eyes, but to your delight he actually removed his hands so you could see...and it was anything but what you were expecting.
It was a miniature village, filled with creatures you'd only thought were in story books..and even crazier was the large cake they were grouped around. The letters were definitely wonky and some of the words weren't even spelled right, but it clearly read, "Will you marry me?" You spun around to meet Wanderers gaze and he simply smirked at you, "Answer my question dummy~"
đàŒKazuha:
"Kazuha what is this place?" You gasped softly, taking in the vibrant hues of pink trees and the sweet smell of tea brewing, even the grass somehow held a magical feel due to its light blue tint. How this all could be in a cave was beyond your understanding, but of course it didn't surprise you, Kazuha had a way of finding the most beautiful hidden spots and he always enjoyed sharing them with you.
"It's one of the few places in Inazuma that I could come to after the decree had been set in place. It became a important part of my life, somewhere I could hide out and write my hymns and sorrows. Now I come back to show that the darkest part of my life has ended and is now replaced with the most bright and wonderful light. You of course being my light butterfly, I thought it only fitting to bring you here for this.."
Your eyes widened slightly, during his small speech he'd gotten more nervous...and then towards the end he seemed downright flustered, which was so different than his normally calm collected personality. "Bring me here for what?"
He smiled shyly at you, feeling like his heart might explode as he kneeled before you, retrieving the ring he had hand crafted for this very moment. He could tell you were beyond shocked and he hoped dearly that it was in a good way, "Will you marry me butterfly? I need my light in the dark...I cannot see any future without you..., every thought of the next day is centered around you and the love I can give you. Please, allow me to love you...forever and always."
âĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄâĄ

Hello hello, itâs me again! I love your most recent kuroxtwst request comic and it got me wondering; what do the NRC professors (đ¶+đââŹ+ đŠ) think of Ciel? Idk if itâs something you ever thought about, but the teacher-student dynamics intrigue me đ
(This request doesnât even need to have visuals if itâs too much, just text is totally fine with me!)
Hi!! Thank you sm for the question.đ„°đ„°đ„° It was interesting to think about it! So let me get started!âŁïž
đ&đ°
I think Crowley thinks Ciel is a pretty capable boy and definitely doesn't think he's some kind of silly kid. He knows that Ciel is capable of more and will do whatever he instructs him to do! Crowley is probably interested in Ciel's seal on his eye and maybe he even wanted to know more about the seal than about the world Ciel came from. In any case, we don't even know Crowley's true motives in the game..!
âïž&đ°
I think it would be interesting for Divus to test Ciel in terms of studying. Perhaps he treated him more tenderly at first, but when he sees that Ciel is really smart and purposeful, he will treat him the same as all other students. Divus would also additionally teach Ciel! Ciel would work hard to get good grades in Divus classes đâš
đ&đ°
Ciel would definitely spend more time with him than with any other teacher. Ciel would be more comfortable with him than with other teachers. I can't say that Trein perceived Ciel as a grandson or something like that, but he definitely treated him well and warmly. He would also additionally teach Ciel. They could communicate well and even make friends. Train also wouldn't let his cat get too close to Cielđ„°
đȘ&đ°
THAT WOULD BE FUN AHAHA.. Vargas would definitely annoy Ciel. Ciel does not like to exercise, especially as much as Vargas trains. Vargas would like to train Ciel, perhaps even for his own good, so that he could somehow fight back as a bully. But considering Ciel's thinness, it would really be difficult. Perhaps someday Ciel would have an attack due to overloading in physical education, because he would really try to succeed in everything. Then Vargas changed his mind and did not demand too much from Ciel đ„șđđđ
â ïž&đ°
Why not? Hehe! Sam would have called Ciel the little devil or given a different nickname as the little devil's child because Ciel definitely stands out from the others. It seems to me that all the teachers, as professional magicians, have noticed that Ciel is not an ordinary boy and he definitely does not tell somethingđ
In short, NRC teachers know that Ciel is associated with some kind of dark magic but don't want to scare other students/they don't have time to deal with it. I feel that Sebastian's appearance will be something special...đ€

Hello there!
I like your fics. âïžâïž and I really like mountain! Heâs very tall, and I think heâs very sweet. đ„° he deserves more love.
Could I request him and maybe the other ghouls like sodo/dewdrop idk, with an SO that loves baking? Like cakes and pastries.
thank you so much! âš
true, he deserves it more and more! mountain is our baby giant and your request is lovely đ„ș besides dew i chose phantom, hope you don't mind it âš
âinfo: gn!reader, reader have a lot of patience, mountain very good at decoration, dewdrop more like at tasting food and read the recipe, phantom thinks reader is a magician
â°ïž mountain
- he likes when you put your apron on, his heart melted
- mountain is your second chef
- sometimes you have to correct him because he uses so much strength
- he's a drummer, probably tapping the counter with every crockery while you mix ingredients
- your focused face literally get him more in love with you
- "... oven at 180° degrees celsius for 30 min- hold on, we have the flames of hell is not the same?"
- you have to explain that the cakes or pastries might burn
- so surprised when you use food color, the cream doesn't seem cream anymore!
- king of decoration, sugar flowers put in chromatic scale
- when you are done, mountain proudly claps at you and compliments your skill in front of everyone (even inanimate objects)
đ„ dewdrop/sodo
- him and kitchen in the same phrase is a big no no
- the first time you tried to let him cook he burned the cranberries, broke the blender, swapt salt for sugar, etc.
- dew became your assistant, an important job as well
- the determination, passion and fire he read in your eyes make him think how beautiful you are
- basically dew just stands there and ordering you what you have to do and arguing
- "this fucking recipe says you have to SEPARATE the yolk to the white in two DIFFERENT bowl and you didn't! read it yourself, you were wrong!"
- he just read the part you did at the beginning while he tasted biscuits
- dew imitate your tone after you tell him
- you make a mini cake just for him and he get not-very-secretly red
- compliments are not for him, he just say it's not bad... remarking because you follow his orders
đ» phantom
- phantom doesn't even know how to cook an egg
- cooking/baking=magic
- he gifts you an apron that say "magician of my heart"
- following every single move you make, adoration written on his face
- recipes book aka spellbook
- "what potion is it? where did you find this dusty thing?"
- you have to explain him over and over again that the dusty thing is flour and you find it at the supermarket
- now he thinks the supermarket have a space for witchy stuff
- hands on his hips because is impatient while pastries are on the oven
- everytime phantom eats your pastries or cakes he tells to the ghouls that he's on your spell

Shut it
Charlie Weasley x reader.
A sequel to this
This is a repost since the old blog doesn't work anymore. đ„°Also if you want to be tagged in future Charlie's stories let me knowâ€ïž
Summary: it's time for Charlie to get his tattoo completed and the reader to ger the first one.
Warnings: a sad story about a dog.
"Is it gonna hurt... a lot?" I ask worried as I hold Charlie's hand in mine, both of us walking to the tattoo shop, so Charlie can get his arm tattoo completed and I can get my very first tattoo.
"Love... should I remind you?" He asks, chuckling.
"Remind me what?"
"At the battle at Hogwarts" he starts theatrically "you calmly walking towards me, covered in blood, huge wound on your shoulder. Me running towards you, worried sick. I ask 'what happened?!' You answer 'it's just a scratch'. And now you're worried about a little tattoo?" He then laughs, squeezing my hand.
"Oh shut it. I just..." I stutter with a chuckle "Yeah... okay, you're right"
"As always, my sweet love" he says proudly.
-----
"You like the placement?" The artist asks me, motioning for me to look in the mirror.
I look first in the mirror at my reflected forearm and how the dog paw drawing, then directly at it and nod.
"Alright, dear, now sit get comfy and if you want me to stop just say so" she tells me sweetly.
I do as she said, Charlie right next to me smiling, his tattoo all done looks even better now.
"Still nervous?" He asks me.
"Nah... maybe a little" I answer with a nervous chuckle.
"It's gonna be fine, love. You can hold my hand if you're so scared" he sweetly mocks me.
"Shut it" I laugh waving his hand away.
"Ready?" The tattoo artist asks me.
"Yeah" I nod.
She starts to ink my skin.
It's a weird feeling, it doesn't hurt, but it's not that good either, so I just take deep breath.
"Why the paw?" Charlie suddenly asks me.
"Uh?" I ask confused.
"Why did you choose a paw?" He repeats.
"Oh... uhm... when I was younger, before getting my letter I had a dog." I start to tell, looking at Charlie "a cute, crazy little collie. He followed me everywhere. Everywhere. Remember I told you about this little pond close to where I lived? I always went there, playing, imagining to be a warrior, a magician, little did I know I actually was one." I chuckle at the memory "Anyway... I was also very clumsy, and there was always a high chance for me to fall into said pond and my dog always managed to prevent that. He was my protector basically."
"Sounds like the best of dogs" Charlie comments, moving his hand to hold mine.
"He was..." I take a shaky breath, tears starting to form in my eyes, but I blink them away "he really was. He died after during my third year... after Christmas, before I had to get back to Hogwarts."
I can't help it, some tears fall down my face and Charli is quickly to wipe them away.
"He wanted to see you. Say goodbye properly, uh?" He tells me.
"Yeah... and yeah... he was my best friend. You know... whenever I get a letter or something from my parents they always sent a piece of paper with his paw print." I sadly laugh.
"That's really sweet, love" he tells me.
"You know how I called him?" I smile.
"How?" He asks curious.
"Dragon"
"No way"
"Yap. The very first day we got him he stole my favourite blankie, the one with dragons on it. So that was it" I explain.
"How perfect" Charlie kisses my hand "how perfect"
"All done" the lady suddenly says.
Charlie and I turn our head to her, I look down at my arm, the fresh ink on my skin looks absolutely perfect.
"Wow" is all I can say.
She wraps my fresh tattoo and tells me how to take care of it.
"Thank you"
"Thank you, have a good day!" She waves at us as we leave the shop.
"You like it?" Charlie asks me as we hold hands and walk.
"It's freaking perfect." I say "what about yours?"
"Oh mine? It's still misses something" he answers with a smile.
"What?"
"Well... I got almost everyone from my family, except one" he shrugs.
"Who's missing?" I ask, confused.
"You, my love." He simply answers.
"Oh shut it" I slightly shove him, he holds my hands tighter pulling me closer to him.
"You shut it" he says before kissing me.

The absolute fantasy I have of Connor being interviewed as one of the five androids on that revolution's stage, months later, if not a full year, after having gone back to working with the DPD on their cold cases to microdose on his need for murder but still helping Jericho on the side...
... all to reveal that he's the one android with a really fucked up sense of humour, where half of the joke is how much of a nerdy, boring, passive, paper-pushing guy he is around the precinct.
I live for that reveal. đ„° I imagine so many ways for everyone in the DPD to get that "CONNOR DID WHAT?!" snap of reality, all for Connor to be like đ back at them as always.
Just.
Y'know.
:)
So right now I'm picturing an interview where he's openly admitting it on national TV, fully aware the other cops are tuning in 'cause - haha, it's Connor! He's on TV! Maybe he'll do something other than his stupid customer service smile!
And immediately, they tune into the part talking about Connor's reputation for psychological 'pranks'
Connor: it's not that i'm out to hurt anyone. i just like playing little jokes :)
Interviewer: Jokes meant to scare people?
Connor: not scare. more to... sow doubt :)
Interviewer: Can you give me an example?
Connor: i mean... the joke is that no one but me really knows the answer. i can tell you the set-up for one, but i can't give you the whole thing.
Interviewer: Because the truth would spoil it.
Connor: correct :) i'm like a magician
Interviewer: Alright. Well, tell us the set-up.
Connor: :D okay. so at the christmas party, i gave everyone soap as a gift
Interviewer: ...
Connor: :D
Interviewer: Soap.
Connor: :D hand-made bars. it was an interesting process. i enjoyed learning how to do it. and they were personalized for everyone there
Interviewer: Was something wrong with the soap?
Connor: i hope not :( they were very nice bars of soap
Interviewer: Interesting.
Connor: of course :D have you seen fight club?
Interviewer: What?
Connor: it's a movie :D it's also a book :D they make soap in it
The Entirety of the DPD, Who Have Very Much Seen Fight Club:
Connor: their key to soap is the ingredients
Interviewer: Our producer just said that in the book, they use... body parts?
Connor: :D
Interviewer: So... the joke is using body parts in soap?
Connor: oh
Connor: no no
Connor: that's still the set-up
Connor: the joke is 'where would i even get them' :)
Interviewer:
Connor: :D
Interviewer:
Connor: see? it's funny :D
Interviewer: I'm... not sure I follow.
Connor: oh don't worry :)
Connor: they did :)
The Entirety of the DPD, Picturing Every Way Connor Has Access to Morgues and Crime Scenes: o_o
Connor: :D hi hank hi chris hi ben
Connor: Gavin.
Gavin: đïžđđïž

A2 Galeheart pleaseđ„°â€ïž
Wow, that's quite a surprising request! I've never written this ship before, so bear with me on this one lol. Thanks for asking for it, I had a lot of fun writing this one! đ
---
A2. Cooking together (w/ Act One fun)
The freshly cleaned cooking pot hung from an iron rod over the camp's central fire. Shadowheart had pilfered it from one of the abandoned houses in the village, though she told herself it was because she was tired of raw vegetables and charred meat.
Steam drifted from the pot. A broth boiled within, filled with their supplies that were on the brink of edibility. The medley of root vegetables and fresh herbs forced Shadowheart to sit nearby and let the delicious scent wash over her.
She could pretend all she wanted to be a stoic ascetic. The first smell of that soup destroyed any willpower remaining.
The first night of real food in weeks was too good to pass up.
This was, of course, the sole reason she bothered hunting through the rotting, cobwebbed houses on the off chance that she just might discover anything that could be used for cooking.
"Ah, the aroma of a freshly started soup never ceases to amaze me," said Gale, his eyes closed. He knelt before the cooking pot with a ladle in one hand.
His focus on the soup matched his focus in all other things. The careful study in his eyes as he scanned each ingredient. Using a pinch of salt bought from the merchant in the grove, testing for flavoring as everything cooked together.
Shadowheart told herself it was in her best interest to study the habits of her companions.
In the event that she needed to extract information from them for her Dark Lady, knowing even these seemingly meaningless details could prove the difference between a successful interrogation and a failure.
So she studied him more.
Watched the way he ladled out a bowl for the first person to arrive at the fire with him.
He handed the bowl to Shadowheart.
She looked around and realized that nobody else had come to sit with him by the fire. How none of them could smell the mouthwatering food, she didn't know.
"For you," he said, "for sitting with me and assisting with the process."
"I did nothing," she scoffed. She still took the bowl. "Simply sat here and prayed."
"But that's just it, isn't it? A work of mundane magic loses its luster when there's no one to witness it."
Shadowheart snorted a brief laugh. "This soup is magic now? And you're the one creating it, that should count for something."
"It doesn't," said Gale simply. He gave her a faint, almost forlorn smile that lacked any light in his eyes. "But I never did thank you for finding the pot. A magician without his apparatuses can't exactly perform exciting magic, can he?"
"I nearly tripped over it," she lied, "so don't flatter yourself."
"Of course. I didn't realize goblins went around cleaning houses they raided."
"What?"
He chuckled, this time with real humor. "Oh, it's likely nothing. Just that you said you 'tripped over' the pot, which implies that you found it by happenstance. However, the pot you gave me was impeccably clean."
"Those aren't mutually exclusive," countered Shadowheart, looking down into the soup in her bowl. She counted carrot chunks.
"True," he admitted. "It is a curious thing though, isn't it?"
Shadowheart refused to answer him. She left with an annoying flare of recognition in her chest as she sat outside her tent by herself.
While she ate, she realized that he was absolutely, infuriatingly correct.

Now I know someone has probably done this already, but I couldn't help but draw some of my favorite Eclipsesđ„°đđ„ł!!!!!!!! (I drew them all in my style, so apologies for that in advance; trying to mimic others art styles is a bit difficult for međ
)
Without further a due, I triedđ!!!!
First off in the top left-hand corner, we have @certified-handler's handsome devil from her AU, Dealer's Choiceâ ïžâ„ïžâŁïžâŠïž(I'm looking respectfully . . . . . I-I promiseđ„Ž Dude, the way you designed him is just so crisp, it's flawlessđâš)
@starrspice's babe from their Cherub AU (so pure, and yet, so sassy as wellđđ Can't wait to see them boss Sun, Moon, and Y/N around a lot moređ€Ł)
My pharaoh from my Long Live The King AUđ„° (I like how I made him rough around the edges, but a total softy to Y/N and KTđ Personally, he was the hardest to draw out of all of them since his rays are long afđźâđš)
Racer Eclipse from @castercassette's badass Racer AU (No words can describe how talented and marvelous their work is, check them out or elseđ€ !!!!!!!)
@webzebs version of Eclipse (not sure if he has an AU planned, but if he does, yyeeeeeeeeesssssssssđ)
@sol-s-hine's cutie pieâșïž(he's like a waffle mixed with a soft, but burnt marshmallow, I love his design so much, she did an excellent job with himđ„°)
@sinnabee's piece of shit magicianđ€Ł(their words, not mine!! I'm personally fond of him in an . . . Odd manner, being mainly that his design is perfectđ„ș)
And lastly, but certainly not least, we've got the most badass Siren AU my piss-poor eyes have ever gazed upon, created by @bitter-beanz is Vampire Squid-Dragonfish hybrid Eclipseđ (I'm not one usually for sirens and such, but holy hell does his art make my heart skip several beatsđ And the designs are so breathtaking, it makes me want to see more of themđ„ș)
(There was supposed to be another version of Eclipse in the upper right-hand corner, but the guy deleted his account and I never got the chance to save the reference pic)
Hope y'all like this, and I hope every one of you beautiful and creative people have a very merry Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, a wonderful Kwanzaa, and for my badass atheist friendos out there, I'd still like to wish y'all happy holidaysđđ„łđđ

How You Met THE SPARROW ACADEMY:
PAIRINGS: Sparrow Academy x Genderless!Descriptionless!Reader
FOLLOW UP TO: How You Met - The Umbrella Academy
A.N: we need more sparrow content ASAP. I fell quick and I fell hard
WARNINGS: Quick and minor mention of a bus crash (under Marcus tab), varying degrees of content for each character, me borrowing a villain from the comics I don't know shit about other than what i read off of TUA Fandom Wiki, and me still getting the hang of this format and writing and just having fun and being silly with it more than taking it seriously
LINKS: main masterlist || sparrow masterlist
MARCUS HARGREEVES:
Ahh Marcus đ
He's really just so... đ€©đđ€Șđ„°đâșïžđ
đâșïžđ€©
Yeah
Oh my gosh seriously, theres a reason he's number one and it's because he's the biggest dork
You knew a thing or two about putting up about three different kinds of walls until you could hardly recognize yourself, what with you basically being the Lila of the Sparrows
It's complicated how you met but also, not in the slightest
True, there was only one Handler and the only kid she ever "had" was Lila
But she wasn't your mother, she was your boss
One that you only ever met once or twice, but you can hardly remember it, it was so long ago
You were recruited by her, however, at a unusually young age annnndd long story short, you quit
Working for an organization out of time sounded cool, and was. For about 2 (non)minutes
Then it just got depressing and way WAY confusing and downright dangerous
It took so many (non)years to plan an escape and then another two or so to actually put it into action and escape
Nothing unusual, you were constantly jumping from year to year, place to place, never staying one place too long. (Kinda like couch surfing! Time surfing if you want to put it that way)
It went off without hitch, your little plan, and had been going fairly smooth for what you perceived as about four or five years
Then said "pitstop" in good ol' 2009
That's when your path collided with the Sparrows
And when it did, you crashed
No literally, there's a literal crash involved
It was definitely something that happened by total chance
And yeah, you could argue that's how most things are, but, hopefully you get what I mean
Like, it's crazy how you just happened to forget something when you left for your walk for work and decided you had time to go around the corner and get it. Crazy that you had just enough time to catch the next bus
And that next bus just so happened to be the one that got caught in the crossfires of a Sparrow vs Villain of The Week fight
Thankfully nobody was seriously hurt, but there were a great number of close calls
You being one of them
And you had Sloane Hargreeves to thank
In a spur of the moment as you were fleeing the bus with the rest of the crowd, she pulled you lot from across the street and out of harms way
When the fight had died out, the weirdo supervillain calling himself the Murder Magician was taken away (his sidekick, the assistant as well) And the Sparrows were swarmed with press and thankful citizens
You think, because of this, it'd be virtually impossible to get any face time with the famed sparrows, right?
Wrong
Again, it's crazy how you just so happened to be trying to make a beeline out of there (what? being on the run meant blending in, and you couldn't very well do that from here) when you ran into a very handsome wall
"Oh! My apologies, I didn't see you there"
Okay, so. Not a wall. Just a very tall, very handsome, and very very famous man you knew more about than you probably should thanks to your old job maintaining timeliness and such
You insisted you had to go, but wouldn't you know it, your little streak of luck wasn't over yet
That murder magician guy? Did I mention? He had a little something called a murderbot
Kind of makes sense now, I guess. Usually, supervillains aren't as cool with being caught unless they have another trick up their sleeve
So, kinda awkward, but
the thing kinda took ya hostage along with some other unlucky few in the crowd thanks to advantage it got witht he element of surprise and all
Marcus and the sparrows handled it fairly quickly but it was still upsetting!
Experiencing a bus crash, a murder magician, his murderbot and then two rescues all in one morning can take a lot out of you!
Marcus, having already ran into you and then letting you get kidnapped right in front of him immediately after, he felt kinda responsible for you. call him old fashioned (lol)
He asked multiple times if you were okay
He did not want to leave your side until he knew you were okay
He'd invite you back to the academy where Grace could check you over for potential injuries (concussion, internal bleeding, etc) and he could be certain you'd be getting good medical care
(even though EMTs are right the f there lmao)
He may be a dork but he's also a spoiled rich kid like his siblings lskd8v8
You, all the meanwhile, having a whole different timeline's worth of knowledge on him and his siblings thanks to your time at the commission (this excludes the kugelblitz since that was technically not supposed to happen... I think) felt like you were treading dangerous waters interacting with someone so famous in history
I kinda lost where this was going lol but I do know that after all that, it was a bit harder to say no to Marcus and the little soft side he started to show when he was getting worried
Cause you were definitely started to get a little dizzy and you definitely hit your head at some point in all that chaos
And a very handsome, very famous, very dorky, and very kind man was now very worried about you
Okay, so maybe you could be a little bit late to work
SPARROW!BEN HARGREEVES:
I finally understand the term poor little meow meow
He is a wet cat
Angry and petty and snippy
And inexplicably ruthless
You two would probably meet somewhere totally unexpected
Hold on let me think of it real quick
I guess I could see you working their PR or something, if that was even a thing for them (you being newer, and ofc around their age)
Idk I feel like, with Sparrow Ben, and how much of a little shit (affectionate) he is, I think it would be kinda hilarious and yet totally on brand for him to have a connection (good or bad) with someone who got paid to tell him what to do - ie, he thinks he doesn't need it and that it's the others that need to behave and rebrand themselves when he's like, right there
His promo poster was literally the Had To Do It To Em pose, you know I'm right about this
Not exactly the kind of image that's super great for, you know, a superhero
So yeah, he would have to listen, but he'd give a stink
And even a bigger one when you threw it right back
I'd think you'd have to have that kind of skill, at least to some degree, after working in such a field
Or maybe I'm just talking out of my ass
The point is, y'all would likely be bitter, but like, the kind that got comfortable after a while?? If that makes sense??
Either way, he's such a little shit and i just don't see an instance where you meet and it's perfect sunshine and rainbows right off the bat pfft
FEI HARGREEVES:
BIRD SANCTUARY!! BIRD SANCTUARY!! BIRD SANCTUARY!!
YOU WORK IN A BIRD SANCTUARY
You two are a match made in the cosmos and its sickening đ„°
Fei, like her aforementioned brothers, takes herself and the job pretty seriously
So it can be a bit rare for someone to see her in her true element
Or at least--
People who really know her
Her family
So, when a total stranger just comes along and just,,
âšïžâšïžâšïž
Its really special
And what better than bonding over birds, and nerding out over birds?!
I feel like she wouldn't exactly shy away from whatever she may be feeling
But I also think she'd try to underplay it
Ya know, keep it cool and not make a huge deal
You know, it wasnt a huge deal that one day, on her day off, she decides to visit a reveried bird sanctuary just outside of town
And that, upon that visit, she happened to stumble upon you, unable to stop yourself from spewing bird facts and hey? Did this random visitor know about the loyalty of crows and all the limitless examples of humans befriending crows??
Well they did now
Oh no did she love your corny enthusiasm over birds - crows especially!!
She just couldn't help herself when she first overheard you and wanted a better view
Sure she spent her time communing with the birds around her, but a select few of crows--her crows--adopted a sudden interest in you and your info-dumping to unwilling visitors, flocking to you wherever you went
It wasn't unusual for birds to bond with caretakers but you didn't recognize these crows that now seemed to follow you everywhere, always keeping a polite distance and paying careful attention to anything you had to say
Soon enough, you were fully conversing with these crows, making sure they were comfortable wherever they might have come from
That pretty much sealed the deal for her
From then on, she knew she had to make herself known to you; introduce herself, commend your respect for her birds (and the others in the sanctuary)
Yall hit it off immediately, no surprise ajdkps
Oh she's also so fucking smooth adjsjs
Idk, shes just kinda sweeps you off your feet when she finally introduces herself to you, commending you for your respect to your birds (totally teasing you for how you, by extension and strictly technical terms, treated her through her birds) and is such a coy little fker who loves seeing you get all flustered
My god though, shes also so fucking soft and sweet and loyal when you earn her trust
Either friend or partner, she'll come across something she'll think you'll like and give it to you next time she sees you (ohh idk, like a crow)
Shes so fucking loyal and just so heart melting while also being the coolest, smallest fker ever and AHHH
I just love her
ALPHONSO HARGREEVES:
Jskapsoyc
He's so boyfriend shaped
I love him, I need to know more about him, and I'd love to say how you guys met was some miraculous coincidence that makes perfect sense like Fei, but honestly he just really strikes me as someone you just Bump Into, ya know?
He's a guy, and he's just around
Maybe you met in a convenience store
That feels like something that would happen (or maybe I'm just still thinking of his fight scene with Diego)
Oo! Honestly, some place like a bowling alley or arcade
He, like Marcus, is such a dork
But he holds himself as like, a, Cool Dork, ya know?
And it's not as hidden
It's not hidden at all, he's such a snarky pizza-eating, soda-chugging, quick-as-a-whip dork
He feels comfortable in public, for not all the right reasons
And he's easy to run into
He gets a lot of mistreatment by Sparrow fans, but his attitude is much like his power
Arguably, it's because of his powers
He's rubber, they're glue; what bounces off of him sticks to you
ie, he's so good at letting a bad attitude bounce off of him and stick to his attackers
And yeah, sometimes his walls are down and stuff gets to him when he isn't prepared, but overall he is sadly (and infuriatingly) used to it
He's not always the favorite among fans, is what I'm trying to get at
>:( fucking stupid if you ask me
But!!
Woah woah woah. Hold on...
Back up
Apparently he's... your favorite?
Lol okay, yeah, sure, you're totally not trying to be nice, he thinks (note the sarcasm)
Like I said, he's used to feeling the occasional tap on his shoulder -- like now, where he stands in line for some good ol' mediocre bowling alley hotdogs -- cause someone recognized him
He was, arguably, one of the more recognizable sparrows after all, behind Christopher obviously, so
Here we go, he thinks, turning around, hands lazing in his pockets and quite possibly the least enthusiastic look any living thing could conjure on his face
And just like anyone else, you stood waiting as he turned to face you, smiling in a way that was all too obvious you were trying to hide your excitement
"Hey," he nods
"Sorry," you laughed, but not in the usual way. More like an awkward chuckle that sounded nervous. That wasn't too unusual, either
"Sorry," you said again, burying your hand back inside your pocket like the other. "you probably get this all the time, pretty much everywhere"
He shrugged it off, not appearing too bothered by it
"No problem," he said, glancing back ahead to check the line. It still was pretty long; some issue with the deep fryer holding up the line, by the looks of it. He had time. He looked back at you, waiting indifferently for whatever to come. "What's up?"
Judging by the looks of it, you had already started backtracking the moment you got his attention. You were second guessing getting his attention. Cause figures
"Just a big fan," your hands were still in your pockets, fiddling and moving around visibly through the thin cotton, maroon zip-up sweatshirt
You had shrugged, and thats when he noticed your zip up was familiar; it was a piece of sparrow merch
An older one, judging by how worn it looked
The little sparrow insignia higher up on the left breast of the jacket was still there, but it was significantly faded, and the matching white rope laces dangling from the hood were fraying at the ends
He nods again, leaving the future of the conversation up to you
Wildly inconvenient for you, you thought, considering you hadn't exactly thought this far ahead. At least, if you had, you immediately forgot.
You said the first thing that came to mind, cause of course you did
"I loved the Sparrow comics when I was younger,"
Okay, yeah, you definitely regretted this. This was mortifying. Plain and simple.
Sadly, however, Alphonso saw this in your face and misconstrued the reasons for regret
He thought you were regretting talking to him when really you were just getting in your own head
You quickly assure him though, that, actually, he's your favorite and you think he's super cool and you've actually been a fan of his since yall were kids
He takes the information like any other fan interaction,
That is until it really clicks for him you're being totally serious and your enthusiasm is genuine and he kinda :o
Then he's such a suave little shit I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
Goes straight to his head, God bless <3
SLOANE HARGREEVES:
Love of my life, bane of my existence đ„°
She's perfect and such an inconvenience to me personally
I love her entirely <3
She's the sweetest of the sweet and sunshine in every sense of the word
Huh? Oh right!
How you met... *ahem* âșïž
Oh no biggie, she just uhh, saved your life is all
Okay okay, maybe not your literal life but she did save your morning shake which saved your morning which saved your ass from your boss
She was a blushing mess despite the grace of her powers and agility -- but it technically had been her fault
Sloane had been in such a rush, she unintentionally collided with you on one of the busier streets downtown
Totally cliche and a meet-cute right out of the movies
I honestly don't think I have much else to say about that, it was pretty straight forward and sweet (like her)
Admittedly you had been rattling around her head for a few days afterwards cause hey đđđ she can appreciate what's in front of her - and yet, she was kicking herself for not doing something about it
She held a lot of responsibility as a sparrow and part of her was afraid, not so much upholding the sparrow image, but disappointing her siblings
Sloane dreams of a having a life of her own, unsanctioned by her father and/or her brothers and sisters. She's been planning ahead for her inevitable exit, why had she chickened out with you??
Almost two weeks had passed since she ran into you and thirteen days since she talked herself into giving up on anything happening.
She had scolded herself, really, how foolish it was of her to think she could have something sweet and endearing with a very cute person like you
Sloane is a romantic in every sense, and this had merely been proof. How naive
And...
How naive of her to think she saw you standing out like a sore thumb in one of the sparrow crowds stationed outside for one of their outings
She had to do a double take when you gave her a shy wave, and she definitely had to make sure she wasn't making a fool of herself as she made her way over
You had sent her a grateful nod when she covertly steered you two out of the reach of cheering fans crowding around you trying to get to her and her siblings
Sloane may or may not have failed in her attemps to tamper down the corny smile that came with your being here
You looked almost, shy
"I thought you seemed familiar," you smiled, looking up over her shoulder at one of the many huge banners plastered on the academy. She followed your gaze over her shoulder and then quickly averted her gaze, not overly eager to see the sight
Were her cheeks always this sore?
JAYME HARGREEVES:
She was forged by the gays, for the gays
I love that trope where the sunny sunshine one is the grumpy grumps favorite
I feel like that could easily apply to her
But I also feel like it wouldn't be like that immediately, if at all
Not even soon
It would be a long process to get her there cause she's a sparrow after all, and being a sparrow means you come with an ego and stubbornness so strong it might as well be its own superpower
When she met you, she was irrationally and entirely furious
A big part of it was you kept cropping up everywhere
You delivered a pizza to her and Alphonso once upon a time and ever since, by total coincidence, you kept reappearing
She didn't believe it was accidental ofc
She thought you were some stalker
Meanwhile you were just as confused
It wasn't exactly love at first sight for you, either
Jayme was brash and short tempered, but when she was around you -- bumped into you on the street, out for a run in the park, whatever -- she was just plain cruel
And the thing is, she didn't know why
All you had done was the deliver the pizza, made light conversation with Alphonso and wished them both a good day before leaving
The fucking nerve of you
She's just crushing hard, actually
Nah, you're just annoying to her, that's totally it
She totally didn't think you were infuriatingly attractive, fun to be around or anything. And the display of dry humor she witnessed when you were chatting with her brother totally didn't anger her in a way she couldn't understand because she wasn't used to cute people saying stuff that she almost laughed at
But she didn't laugh. So there
She won, you lost
And you didn't even know it.
You simply thanked Alphonso for the early arrival tip, nodded a goodbye to both of them and then left
Just like that. No fan freak outs despite you knowing who they were, no autographs. Just a "thanks for saving the day" and a "let it cool for a few minutes, the pizza oven can get pretty hot and it was a short drive here"
That's it.
But that's just the thing.
That was never it.
There was always more, and Jayme wasn't buying it.
You were too calm, like you had been planning that meeting for ages
Maybe you were, even if that didn't make a damn lick of sense
Alphonso calls her out on her shit and he's the only one she really listens to even though she's not happy about it
On some level she knows she's being an asshole but it's kinda hard for her to help
Oh, real quick, by the way
If you're in the community and that's the context between you two for this preference, I don't mean to say she's acting like this cause of internalized homophobia or anything, she's just kind of an asshole skskxhcppff
This girl knows she's gay
Like Ben, she's more like a cat than a dog
She's cute, but she bites, and she's quick and really, she's just a total dick
It's also just kind of a Hargreeves thing, too to be fair
But, like cats, it's kind of, weirdly, part of their charm
She does make an effort though, after her talk with Alphonso, to be less... dickish
It works
Kind of
After a few practice runs
And lots of pizza orders later
But eventually, she's working her way up to answering the door and getting the pizzas from you with one goal in mind
Not making you storm away in rage
I mean, sure, part of the reason she gets so mad is cause you can actually keep up with her
It's never been this hard for her to get the last word in cause you actually can keep up with her and whatever she dishes out to you, you dish right back
In a way, she's kinda met her match
And that made things worse
But. You were still human and she was the one who was a literal super whose specialty was finding someone's weakness
(Actually Jayme sometimes worries she does that somehow without actually using her powers, so that was a big part of her wanting to be better âčïž)
And she's making mild progress!
It isn't until she's dialing the pizza place and working through her nerves as she does so that she realizes why she's so nervous
And then she throws the phone on the couch in embarrassment cause ew feelings
But one thing keepa her from giving up completely:
For whatever reason, you keep coming back

Shut it
A sort of sequel to this fic.
So... after my Steve Harrington fic, I lost all inspiration for him... yeah. Anyway I got inspiration for a Charlie Weasley oneđ€
Summary: it's time for Charlie to get his tattoo completed and for the reader to get her first one.
Warnings: Nothing much, maybe a sad story about a dogđ„ș
@once-upon-an-imagine you wanted to be tagged in other Charlie works so... Here you go, hunđ„°
If anyone wants to be tagged in future Charlie fics, comment â€ïž
"Is it gonna hurt... a lot?" I ask worried as I hold Charlie's hand in mine, both of us walking to the tattoo shop, so Charlie can get his arm tattoo completed and I can get my very first tattoo.
"Love... should I remind you?" He asks, chuckling.
"Remind me what?"
"At the battle at Hogwarts" he starts theatrically "you calmly walking towards me, covered in blood, huge wound on your shoulder. Me running towards you, worried sick. I ask 'what happened?!' You answer 'it's just a scratch'. And now you're worried about a little tattoo?" He then laughs, squeezing my hand.
"Oh shut it. I just..." I stutter with a chuckle "Yeah... okay, you're right"
"As always, my sweet love" he says proudly.
-----
"You like the placement?" The artist asks me, motioning for me to look in the mirror.
I look first in the mirror at my reflected forearm and how the dog paw drawing, then directly at it and nod.
"Alright, dear, now sit get comfy and if you want me to stop just say so" she tells me sweetly.
I do as she said, Charlie right next to me smiling, his tattoo all done looks even better now.
"Still nervous?" He asks me.
"Nah... maybe a little" I answer with a nervous chuckle.
"It's gonna be fine, love. You can hold my hand if you're so scared" he sweetly mocks me.
"Shut it" I laugh waving his hand away.
"Ready?" The tattoo artist asks me.
"Yeah" I nod.
She starts to ink my skin.
It's a weird feeling, it doesn't hurt, but it's not that good either, so I just take deep breath.
"Why the paw?" Charlie suddenly asks me.
"Uh?" I ask confused.
"Why did you choose a paw?" He repeats.
"Oh... uhm... when I was younger, before getting my letter I had a dog." I start to tell, looking at Charlie "a cute, crazy little collie. He followed me everywhere. Everywhere. Remember I told you about this little pond close to where I lived? I always went there, playing, imagining to be a warrior, a magician, little did I know I actually was one." I chuckle at the memory "Anyway... I was also very clumsy, and there was always a high chance for me to fall into said pond and my dog always managed to prevent that. He was my protector basically."
"Sounds like the best of dogs" Charlie comments, moving his hand to hold mine.
"He was..." I take a shaky breath, tears starting to form in my eyes, but I blink them away,"he really was. He died during my third year... after Christmas, before I had to get back to Hogwarts."
I can't help it. Some tears fall down my face, and Charlie is quick to wipe them away.
"He wanted to see you. Say goodbye properly, uh?" He tells me.
"Yeah... and yeah... he was my best friend. You know... whenever I get a letter or something from my parents they always sent a piece of paper with his paw print." I sadly laugh.
"That's really sweet, love" he tells me.
"You know how I called him?" I smile.
"How?" He asks curious.
"Dragon"
"No way"
"Yap. The very first day we got him he stole my favourite blankie, the one with dragons on it. So that was it" I explain.
"How perfect" Charlie kisses my hand "how perfect"
"All done" the lady suddenly says.
Charlie and I turn our head to her, I look down at my arm, the fresh ink on my skin looks absolutely perfect.
"Wow" is all I can say.
She wraps my fresh tattoo and tells me how to take care of it.
"Thank you"
"Thank you, have a good day!" She waves at us as we leave the shop.
"You like it?" Charlie asks me as we hold hands and walk.
"It's freaking perfect." I say "what about yours?"
"Oh mine? It's still misses something" he answers with a smile.
"What?"
"Well... I got almost everyone from my family, except one" he shrugs.
"Who's missing?" I ask, confused.
"You, my love." He simply answers.
"Oh shut it" I slightly shove him, he holds my hands tighter pulling me closer to him.
"You shut it" he says before kissing me.

I saw that your request is open again đ„°đ„°
May I request luffy with a female magical s/o that are just playing together with her magic and the others just adore it but in a fight against a strong opponent they combine their plays into a powerful attack that sends their enemy flying in one go?
Maybe afterwards high five with a bright smile? The others being shocked?
Thank you in advance
oooh i love this, this is different! I got you, enjoy. I couldnât think of a cool name for their attack so I left that part up to those who are reading it
Magik | Luffy x Magical fem! Reader
click below to read more â
âSo cool!â
âDo it again!â
âCan you summon cotton candy?!â
âCan you make hot babes in bikinis?â The woman laughed at her comrades and their requests, while she showed them her powers for the first time. She was scared that they would judge her at first, so she kept them hidden. But, that was before she got to know them and her boyfriend, the captain of this pirate crew. âStop asking her to dumb things, she used magic doesnât mean sheâs a magicianâ The swordsman said, causing a fight to break out.
âMoss head!â
âStupid Zoro!â
âStupid swordsman!â She chuckled and watched as the group of boys fight each other. âHey Y/N, Iâve never seen those type of powers before. Are they like a devil fruit?â The orange haired navigator asked, approaching the woman. She shook her head ânoâ and smiled. âI guess I should tell you guys moreâ The boys finally stopped fighting and the rest of the straw hats gathered around, ready to hear their friendâs story.
âI was born on an island, an island where magic is heavily studied and believed in. My ancestor, the original leader of my clan, was the first one to have magic powers. He had met this woman whom he had fell in love with, and she was the first one to know magic. She taught him everything about maintaining his mana and all types of magic, soon he was able use magic. They passed it on from generation to generation, but the world government soon began to hear about itâ She stopped when she heard a loud crackle in the distance, followed by a loud boom.
âCanons?! Someoneâs firing canonsâ she announced, alerting her crew. They all began to look around the ship, when the cyborg spotted them. âTheyâre on our right and theirs a marine ship behind. Iâll turn us around with a coop deâor you could just do thatâ The cyborg was cut off as their captain and their paleontologist made their way to the ship.
âNo wonder those two love each other, theyâre just alike. Alright straw-hats, letâs go back those two up!â The navigator shouted, the rest of the crew getting ready for battle. On the opposite side of the sea, the two were getting rid of the pirates that fired at their ship. âWhat the hell are you?â One of the male pirates screamed in fear as the woman picked him up with her magic. âYour worst nightmareâ And with that she tossed them into the ocean.
âTake down the straw hat pirates! Weâll take the captain and the witch, weâre gonna collect their bounties!â A man stood above on the very top deck, riling up the crew. âThat must be the captain, you want him all for yourself?â She asked, even though she knew the answer. He smirked and used his devil fruit to stretch his arms to the top, but he made sure to give his woman a kiss on the cheek.
âWas that your little boyfriend? Maybe we should kill him in front of youâ One of the pirates said, with two others laughing behind him. Her eyebrows rose and body temperature increased. âWhat did you just say?â Her eyes were now blank, she was pissed. âYou heardââ He was cut off as her magic made him explode into pieces, putting fear in them. Just as she was about to approach them, a loud crashing noise grabbed her attention, along with the figure of her boyfriend. âLuffy!â
Running over to him, she helped him to his feet, but he could barely stand. âHe has a water devil fruit, no fairâ This wasnât good, a devil fruit user wouldnât be able to fight against someone with water. Thatâs when an idea popped into her head, she whispered in his ear and he perked up. âAlright, letâs go kick his ass and sink this ship!â Luffy yelled, warning that infamous smirk once again.
As they raced towards the top of the ship, the rest of straw-hats were helping clear out the obstacles. The captain of the ship cackled as he watched the straw-hat make his way back up to him, âArenât you hardheaded one? Iâll just make sure you drown this timeâ
âNot on my watch! Ready Lu?â He nodded in response, the both of them using armament hardening on their fists. Y/N quickly enhanced their attack with her magic; temporarily nullifying his weakness to water. Hopping in the air, they both eyed their opponent, a smirk plastered on both of their faces. âRubber-Rubber, ____ punch!â They yelled in unison, punching the captain through the floors of his ship, down to the oceans floor.
âNo way?!â
âThat was awesome!â
âLeave it to those two, always making a battle seem so coolâ The straw hats commented, as they watched the two finally land back on their ship. âThat was so cool! Letâs do it againâ He smiled brightly, giving her high five, earning a chuckle from her.
âYeah, letâs do it againâ

Hi!!! <33333 Love your blog as someone who sometimes has difficulty grasping metaphors in hannibal because they all talk so weirdly and english is not my first language and sometimes im genuinely dumb </33 anyway i wanted to ask you what do you think was going inside hannibals when he took mason verger to willâs house, abondoning will even though he was unconcious in enemy grounds, and fed his dogs masonâs face?? Like what is he thinking âhi honey welcome home hope you like my surprise you wanted to punish him right tee hee <3â and will just gets turned on by this? LIKE WHATS GOING ON?đđđđđ its one of my fav scenes and i dont even get⊠like the meaning of it, or their motivations, or what it worked as a metaphor? Like if could you maybe share your opinions on that scene or maybe an analysis would be nice? want to hear your thoughs đ„° thank you so muchh hope u have a nice day!!
(there is a tldr at the end of this!)
okay first of all thank you for all your kind words they absolutely made my day <3333333 i so appreciate people asking me for my thoughts on specific scenes like u dont even know. and LOL yes that scene is really weird and when i first saw this i had to talk it through with my friend bc i was likeâŠ. yeah wait what WAS he thinking? LMAO but here is my best answer:
this whole episode is basically will taunting hannibal (telling mason hannibal wants to kill him, putting a "snare around [his] neck", asking hannibal if hannibal can tell what will's intention are, telling hannibal he did this because he was "curious what would happen," etc). i could even go so far as to say hes giving hannibal a taste of his own medicine. i find the decision to make a hannibal lecter-esque scene of will preparing his homemade dog food (which ive always assumed was randall tier's remains) directly before he gets picked up by mason a curious parallel, maybe even making a point that will is starting to act like hannibal? or just foreshadowing that will's dogs are gonna be fed some weird shit later lol, or both.
anyways, the scene of mason being high on whatever hannibal gave him, and cutting his face off and feeding it to the dogs before getting his neck broken, is directly taken from the actual book. i think theres a few different things that are significant about hannibal deciding to do this specifically in will's house, though:
first is theatricality, obviously. hannibal loves shock value.Â
second, it could be a symbol of hannibal's unending and pervasive presence in will's life and mind â this is the first time we've seen will and hannibal in will's own home at the same time. hannibalâs presence in willâs life extends to willâs home. i think the only other time we see them together in will's home is when hannibal saves will from the verger estate, and will rejects hannibal.
third, alana has always said that will's dogs represent the best of will. by hannibal making mason feed his face to will's dogs, this could be like hannibal "tainting" the best parts of will. soaking into every corner of his mind, his life, his soul. also to my point, hannibal says that he "broadened [will's dogs] palates, as [he] broadened [will's]." â there is no corner of will's life that hannibal doesn't touch.Â
however, just as that scene could be representative of hannibal having a very large amount of power over will's life, the rest of the episode could be representative of will having just as much power over hannibal. hannibal was quite literally helpless in that straitjacket, a direct result of will's actions (unless hannibal is a magician too and knows how to escape one⊠which i honestly wouldn't be surprised by). and only escaped because will cut him free. similar to how will was helpless in prison, and only got out because hannibal let him go. will can be a puppet master just like hannibal. they are in equilibrium, to a point. before, will was always on the short end, being manipulated by hannibal, being in prison, etc, but in this half of the season we see them (almost) being equals. as hannibals says earlier in the episode, they understand each others minds, and so hannibal has "the capacity to deceive [will], just as [will] has the capacity to deceive [hannibal]."
as for their motivations:
multiple times in this episode, hannibal is trying to gauge how willing will would be to kill with hannibal. "would you join me at the table?" when talking about eating mason verger, and killing him being a "savage pleasure [they] can share." each time, will avoids the obvious propositions. hannibal taking mason to will's house could also be him trying to gauge how will would react when they are in the same room with a potential victim (if will would share the 'savage pleasure' with him?). at this point, i dont think that had ever happened before. will killed randall tier alone, lied about killing freddie alone, shot hobbs alone. they've never been together in this situation. and arenât in this situation again until the dragon fight. hannibal probably brought mason to will's house knowing this would happen, and so he could really gauge how will feels about killing together, or at least in hannibal's presence.
not to mention will obviously wants mason dead. will likes doing bad things to bad people because it makes him feel good. thats why he makes that face in 2x07 when he has a gun to hannibal's head in hannibal's kitchen, and why he makes that same face when he has a knife to hannibal's throat earlier in this episode. i could maybe go so far as to call him a sadist. he likes having that feeling of power, as he tells abigail in 1x12.Â
i think this is why he looks "turned on" (lol) as you said. he enjoys seeing bad people in vulnerable positions, especially when he holds the power. i think hannibal knows this, too. maybe this was some kind of gift from hannibal? maybe he didn't want to kill mason without will present; giving will the chance to kill the man he knows will hates so much. but also because hannibal, of course, was curious what will would do.
but now will is curious what hannibal will do as well, so he tells hannibal to "do what [he] thinks is best for [mason]," and hannibal obliges easily. he doesn't choose murder or mercy for mason, though, and breaks his neck and leaves him alive in that terrible state. will looks⊠pleased? by this, i think. (again, sadist). he and hannibal smile at each other as hannibal walks to mason to break his neck. hannibal seems pleased as well at will's reaction and the outcome of the situation.
as i said before, they are, in a way, equals for the first time in this part of the season (which is also symbolized by them being happy little cannibals together at the end of 2x10). this episode is partly them getting to fuck with each other and will reciprocating the fuckery that hannibal was disproportionately doing to will before this point, to be crass. will is, as alana says in 2x06 "playing a game, and he's not scared. not anymore." hannibal bringing mason to willâs house was part of the game theyâre playing with each other.
TLDR: hannibal taking mason to will's house could be for theatricality, a symbol of hannibal's presence in will's life (even invading his home), and tainting the "best parts of will" (his dogs). as for hannibal's more personal motivations, hannibal is gauging how will would act while they are in the same room with a potential victim (first time this ever happens, and last until dolarhyde), and possibly be a gift from hannibal because he knows will wants mason dead? as for will's feelings in this moment, he was definitely feeling good because a "bad thing" was being done to a "bad person" and he likes being in that position of power. will putting hannibal in the position (straitjacket in the verger estate) where will has that power over hannibal is will fucking with hannibal, and yet again lets himself get so close to killing hannibal, because he enjoys the feeling. hannibal reciprocates this fuckery by bringing mason to will's house. they are both orchestrating these situations because they are both curious about what will happen, and they are doing this as equals.
edit: not the first time theyve been together with a potential victim, i forgot about clark ingram, but it is the first time theyve been together with a potential victim which ended up harmed/dead by either of their hands! unless im forgetting someone else lol

Can I request mikey dating a gn inosuke s/o I love the idea of him dating a wild gremlin he found in the forestđ
(poor draken has to put them on those kid leaches they to wild )
If I already send this my phone whas having a stroke i think
A/n: This is like hella long since I had way too much fun writing this. Hope you enjoy!
Character(s): Mikey
Type of reader: Gn!Reader
Category: Fluffđ„°âš
Warning(s): None!
Edited: â
How did you guys meet? Well, itâs simple actually
You had rammed into him and I mean full on head first basically kinda breaking his back(?)
And of course, Draken was there to witness it and was seriously gonna beat the living crap out of you since you started picking a fight with him not caring if he was taller than you
Surprisingly, Mikey wasnât pissed off or anything like that
But he was before he saw your face
You were hella pretty and that made his heart do that little âdokie dokieâ thingy in most manga yâknow?
So, you could call this love at first hit
Now, Mikey had even more trouble dealing with you since after getting to know you, he found out you loved getting yourself into trouble
Heâs even surprised you havenât messed with the wrong people yet
But seeing how you stand there in a daze when receiving a compliment just makes him wanna squeeze the daylight out of ya
Draken on the other hand canât STAND you at all
Heâs like your personal babysitter since Mikey instructed him to make sure youâre safe all the time
Now onto the part where Mikey confesses to you
He wouldnât just say flat out that he likes you
Heâd take you out to get dorayaki and while youâre eating heâd, out of nowhere like a magician, pull out a flower and give it to you while confessing his love for you
Ofc youâd be dumbfounded and would just stare at him with a half-eaten dorayaki in your hand processing what he said
âI like you too.â
You would say, not even knowing what kind of like he meant as you continued eating
âNo no, I mean I like like you. Like I love you and wanna spend the rest of my life with you type of like.â
Mikey would say, flustered out of his mind
âOkay. Weâll spend the rest of our lives together. Do you want that?â
And that's how a new, yet odd, relationship bloomed
Sometimes you brag about spending the rest of your life with Mikey to random people and he couldnât help but be embarrassed yet happy
He truly loves you and doesnât want anything bad to happen to you, the impact would be too hard for me him to handle if that does happen...

Feitan x Reader: Much betterÂ
Hi guys, this is just a quick drabble I finished today đ„ș I thought it would be nice to write Feitan like this for once. It's just a soft and fluffy story. The beginning's a bit angsty , but nothing too serious đ€
I'm also working on your requests of course đ„ș the next one will be another part of the Noble Reader series đ„° . Enjoy reading!đ€âš
Word Count: 2145
âP-please, I-I donât know anything. M-my dad would never talk about workâ, tears streamed down your cheek. You were scared, so scared. You already crawled to the wall, being there is no other place to run or hide.Â
You never imagined, not even once, that you would end up as a hostage. Especially not at the hands of the Phantom Troupe. Your dad always made sure there were at least 5 bodyguards with you, and every single one of them was the best of the best. He shouldâve known though that they werenât a match for the Phantom Troupe, and he probably did. He just didnât care enough to keep you safe.Â
âLetâs just kill her, itâs not like that old man is going to pay us any money for her. Greedy bastardâ.Â
Heâs got a point. The protection your father gave you was more out of concern for his public image than to protect you anyway.Â
âYou really think our boss would be okay if we killed her? Youâre an idiot, Uvoâ. âNot againâ, the blonde sighed into his palm, âUvo, Nobu. Nowâs not the time for one of your petty fights. Solve it laterâ.Â
âH-huh?â, you batted your eyelashes when you saw a strange figure hovering over you.Â
Red hair, a tear, and a star⊠He looked like a magician with the card between his skinny fingers.Â
âMaybe not strong enough for my liking, but you would make a pretty little playthingâ. âP-plaything?â. âHm, Iâll even teach you a trick or two, if you behaveâ. The strange-looking man squatted, his eyes studying every part of your body.Â
A shiver ran down your spine when one of his cards greeted your cheek.Â
âBet I can arrange something with Chrollo⊠Or maybe not. Either way⊠You caught my att-â.Â
âPhinks may be busy with fighting idiots, but Iâm still hereâ.Â
âRelax, Iâm just playingâ.Â
âMoveâ.Â
Honestly, what was even going on? Two men were fighting, one running behind them to stop them⊠Then there was this magician who called you a âplaythingâ - whatever that means -  and lastly, this dark-haired mysterious figure who barely talked.Â
âGet upâ.
âLet me go! I told you I donât know where he keeps his moneyâ, you desperately tried to break away from the dark figure.Â
âHmâ, Hisoka chuckled when he saw the way you fought back like a hopeless little deer, making it even more amusing for him to watch.Â
---Â
Was that the first time you met Feitan? It had to be⊠but it felt so long ago.Â
âBoss called. Be back in the eveningâ. âCanât wait to clean after you in the middle of the nightâ, you pushed the plate of food further from you. âCare to repeat yourself?â.Â
Ah, there it was again. The cold edge of a knife against your throat. It used to faze you, to scare you, but not anymore.
âDo itâ, a trembling wish you had for the past months, was just within reach. âWonât kill you, you know that, but that doesnât mean I canât hurt you. Remember what I told youâ.Â
Oh, you remembered. How could you forget? âDisobey me and your family will pay the priceâ. Right, blackmail 101.Â
You flinched when you felt his hands tangle in your hair, his lips brushing over your ear, âCan still give you to Hisoka. Bet heâs worse than meâ. You didnât respond. The thought alone had you shaking. You didnât know why, but youâd rather be Feitanâs prisoner than that magicianâs.Â
âJ-just leaveâ. âHmâ, Feitan smirked, a devilish look in his eyes, âYouâre lucky boss needs meâ.Â
Finally. A sigh of relief once his hands moved away from you.Â
âGet upâ, he roughly pulled you away from the chair you were sitting on, âRoom, nowâ.Â
Room? The âroomâ he kept you was barely large enough to fit the bed heâd got you. At least he had the decency to get you some books to read. Every now and then he would get you a new one - if you behaved, of course.Â
---
You grunted when you heard him opening the front door.
3.30 AM? Great.
You sighed at the thought of cleaning up the blood from his floor, praying he didnât bring someone to torture in his basement. You couldnât take it anymore, the screams.Â
You pulled the covers over your head. Maybe if you pretended to be asleep when he unlocked your door⊠It worked before, once. If you were luckyâŠÂ
âHomeâ.Â
Tell someone who cares.Â
âY/N?â, his footsteps drew closer to your bed.Â
Donât tense up, heâll know youâre awake. Relax.Â
âHmâ, he softly hummed when his hand gently grazed over the sheets, as  to see if you still were where he left you.Â
A smile on your face once you heard him close the door. You could relax, go to sleep again, and escape the hell you were living in.Â
âHm?â, you drowsily looked over your shoulder once you could feel someone laying down next to you. It didnât take you long, however, to jump out of bed once you realized what was going on.Â
âWhat?â.Â
âWhat do you mean âwhatâ? Get out of my bed, Feitan!â. âYour bed?â, he chuckled, âIf it werenât for me, youâd been sleeping on the groundâ. âIf it werenât for you, Iâd still be at home, with my mom and sisterâ.Â
Not again. You didnât want him to see your tears, to see what he did to you.
âWrong. Youâd be begging Hisoka to keep his hands to himselfâ. âAm I supposed to be grateful?â, you shrugged in disbelief, âGet out of my bed Feitanâ.Â
âItâs me or Hisoka, you can chooseâ.Â
âFuck you Feitan, Iâd rather be with Hiso-â.Â
âWonât tell you againâ.Â
Your eyes widened in fear when you felt his body against yours. It was only now you realized that he wasnât wearing a shirt.Â
âBed, nowâ, he easily tossed you on the mattress, his aura angrier than ever.Â
âWhy? Why do you want to sleep here?â. By now, your voice was barely a whisper, your heart racing with adrenaline.Â
Did you even need to ask? You knew why he wanted to sleep in the same bed as you. You knew this day would come. The day your tears and pleas werenât enough anymore, when he didnât enjoy breaking a finger or two, or running a hot needle over your stomach.Â
âWhy?â, you repeated yourself once he sat down on the other side, his back facing you.Â
âCuriousâ, he sighed before laying down underneath the sheets, âNever slept in bed with someoneâ.Â
Great, now you felt sorry for the psychopath that tortured people for fun.Â
âIf you touch me-â, âWonât touch youâ, Feitan replied before laying down on his side, his back facing you.Â
You hesitated before laying down next to him. He didnât say anything, he didnât move. Your mind started to race. You didnât trust him. What if he was going to kill you? You didnât dare to close your eyes, let alone go to sleep.Â
It was around 7 AM when Feitan finally got up, when you finally could breathe again. You felt so scared this night that you didnât dare to make a sound or lay in a different position, but neither did Feitan. In some way, it felt as if he was just as scared.Â
---Â
Weeks passed, and somehow Feitan made a habit out of sleeping in one bed with you. He never touched you though, not even on accident.Â
âStrangeâ, you frowned when you saw the time, â4 AM? He never stays up this late if he isnât workingâ.Â
Were you seriously worried? God, you were a mess. You werenât only worried, but somehow it felt strange to see his side of the bed cold and empty. Was it because he wasnât as much of a jerk over the past couple of weeks? He did get you a nice, fluffy blanketâŠÂ
âShitâ, you laid on your back, staring at the ceiling, âCanât believe Iâm doing thisâ.Â
You angrily threw the sheets off you. You were mad at yourself, so unbelievably mad.Â
âHe isnât out, so the door should be unlockedâ, you tiptoed to your door. Your heart jolted when you felt it was, indeed, open.Â
Within seconds, you were standing in front of the door next to yours. Since all the lights were out in the hallway, you knew he wasnât âworkingâ in his basement, or showering for that matter.Â
Your hands were shaking. You shouldnât do this, you shouldnât be out of your room without his permission⊠but you were worried, right?Â
Thatâs what you told yourself anyway, but you werenât worried. You knew he didnât leave the house. For some twisted reason, you just found it hard to sleep without him lying next to you.Â
You carefully opened the door, a thin stripe of light greeting you. With one eye, you scanned the room.Â
Reading? He was⊠Reading?Â
âDidnât tell you to leave your roomâ, he lazily flipped the page without looking at you.Â
He didnât sound angry or threatening, giving you the courage to fully open his door.
âI-I know, I j-just-â, âStop stuttering, donât waste my timeâ.Â
You looked at the ground, cheeks burning in shame.Â
âC-can I sleep here?â.Â
âHuh?â, Feitan widened his eyes.Â
âGot used to you lying next to me⊠I guessâ. âFineâ, he placed his book on his nightstand, already laying down on his side.Â
Feitanâs room was a little bigger than yours, but just as plain and boring. He did, however, have a soft light burning, a light that radiated warmth and safety. Not the cold, harsh light you found in hospitals and schools, and in your room.
âT-thank youâ, you quietly replied before laying down next to him. In response, he turned off the light, covering the room in darkness.Â
You didnât know what was happening, but without thinking you scraped your throat, preparing yourself to talk.Â
âWhich book are you reading?â.Â
It took a moment for Feitan to respond, as if he was debating whether he should.Â
âDictionaryâ. âA dictionary?â, you frowned. âWant to improve my language skills. First language is Chineseâ.Â
That explains why he talks in short sentences.Â
âO-oh okayâ, you were too scared to ask anything else.Â
You were cold. Why was his window wide open in the winter?Â
âYouâre shakingâ. âSorry, Iâll go sleep in my roomâ, you replied, not wanting him to get angry. âNo, you can have thisâ.Â
You didn't move to look where he was going when he got out of bed.
âHereâ.Â
You froze when Feitan pulled the sheets away from your body.Â
âSoft and warmâ, he gently placed another soft blanket over your body before pulling the sheets back over you.Â
You tried to stop yourself from smiling, but the gentle gesture wasnât something one was used to from him. A sad feeling filled your chest when you noticed he once again was laying with his back to you.Â
âFeitan?â. âHmâ.Â
Stupid. You were stupid, you knew that, but you wanted this.Â
âWould you mind holding me?â. âH-huh?â, now Feitan was the one who froze. âPlease?â.Â
Why? Why were you asking someone like him to hold you? The solitude he put you in must have gotten the best of you. That must be it, right?Â
âOkayâ.Â
He slowly turned around before awkwardly laying an arm on top of the blankets.Â
âYou can touch me. You donât have to place your arm on top of the sheetsâ, you smiled at his innocence. Who knew someone like him could be this squeamish about holding you?
âOkayâ.Â
It took him a while before pulling up the soft blanket he gave you and letting his arm rest on your waist. Almost immediately, you shuffled closer to him, already melting underneath the warmth of his body. It has been ages since you felt a kind and human touch.
You hummed when you felt his bare body against yours. âT-this not hurting you?â.Â
His voice sounded kinder like this. You shook your head, already tired of how relaxed you felt.Â
âNever held anyoneâ, he whispered, âBut feels niceâ.Â
Yes, you definitely pitied him. You couldnât agree with the choices he made, or what he called âworkâ, but was it strange to be like him if you never felt the warmth of an embrace?
âHmâ, you smiled, intertwining your hand with his and bringing it to your chest, âIt feels nice, Feiâ.Â
Fei. You were the first, ânormalâ person to call him that, and it sounded so much better when you said it.
Feitan closed his eyes, a content smile resting on his face. He loved your scent; sweet like honey.Â
âCan get used to thisâ, he whispered, too quiet for you to understand, âMuch better than the scent of your burnt fleshâ.Â

Hello, I just finished the archive undying and it was the first sci fi novel that I read, so thank u for the great opportunity that which ur debut novel has offered. (I'm not unfamiliar with sci fi, I was just hesitant to start reading other's, since some of them have over 50 volumes đ
)
I would like to know how many installments you might have planned? Or will that be decided spontaneously according to the development of the story or even the success?
No matter the number though, I'm definitely hyped for the next volume đ„° Thank you for this novel!
Hi there!! Thank you for taking a chance on my weird book! I am happy to have fed you!!
To clarify the series thing: Currently I'm hoping to finish this as a duology, so the next book is ideally the last. Basically, when I got the offer on TAU, Editor Carl asked if I had any follow-ups in mind. I had written TAU to function as a standalone in case that was all it ever got, but I did think there was a natural sequel, so I said definitely to the second and maybe to the third -- which is why we left the series number ambiguous and announced it as a "sequence."
Actually writing the thing has been kind of a trip (lack of clear plan; burnout; life upheavals; Sophomore Slump Classique (c); you know the drill) so I'd love to tie a bow and have done with (at least for now; I think there are other stories in this world, but I'd looove to tap out here for a bit and chase another project).
(If you ever see me tagging something as "apocalypse magicians" or something similar, that is the other thing I am thinking about. I am tormented. I need to share this dreadful teen and her wet cat mentor; she's SO awful and he's SO bedraggled.)
