Activities the Main Six always do during the Winter Holidays that just make sense.

Its that time of year folks and however you celebrate the winter holidays (or don’t for that matter) I wish you all the best for the new year and the future beyond that! 

Asra

Lights a candle in the doorway. Before MC died and the plague was just beginning MC placed a candle alight to keep ‘hope burning bright’. Asra continued to light it every Winter Holiday after, hoping for MC’s memories to return and for a brighter future.

Buys gifts through the year to give. Whenever MC or anyone else mentions something they like, or need Asra buys it the very same day if he can and places it in a box stashed away to give to the receiver that Winter Holiday.

Wants MC to sit in his lap as they open presents. Simple really, he just likes being close and being able to give MC neck kisses as they gasp at the gifts he gets them, or in thanks to MC for his own gifts..

Unwrapping presents in bed. Continuing from presents Asra prefers unwarping presents in bed because why not?! The shop flat is cold and the bed is warm and he’s too excited about the gifts to worry about lighting the fireplace yet. Also he just wants to snuggle with MC. 

Morning pumpkin bread. Every Winter Holiday Selasi the baker makes Winter Holiday goodies for the locals and Asra drags MC to go get some warm pumpkin bread to eat as both walk to Muriel’s hut.

Gifts Muriel an orange. When he and Muriel were on the streets the two wanted to celebrate but could never afford much besides an orange for each other, the tradition continued every year without fail even when Muriel was locked away in the Coliseum and when Asra moved into the shop. It's a symbol of their friendship and the times, good and bad, they spent with each other.

After the long day of other Winter Holiday activities Asra takes MC for a walk through the streets, snow lining the streets of the city and colourful lanterns lighting them Asra and MC wander the streets and everytime you hear music coming from a home or bar he leads them into a dance under the falling snow.

Nadia

Winter Holiday palace treasure hunt. Nadia’s favourite family tradition was the treasure hunt for the Winter Holiday tree and presents that her parents hosted every year (where they would find a string and follow it), not only did each of her siblings receive a gift but her parents gave gifts to each servant and guard that worked at the palace too. It's a tradition she proudly works on every year.

Gifts MC a new outfit for the festivities. Every year without fail MC gets a new unique outfit for the festive season (like a christmas jumper but a bit more formal), the outfit is worn during the Winter Holiday activities and is always too gorgeous for words.

Sleigh ride. Going out into the marvelous winter wonderland is magical, and a sleigh ride is even more so. Nadia often has a pair of dappled grey horses pulling a sleigh piled with blankets and hot drinks and drives the sleigh through the city giving out candies.

Food bank donations. With the sleigh ride comes the piles of food Nadia gifts to the homeless shelters of Vesuvia, she wants her people to experience as much joy as they can during the festive season. She wishes she could do better but she is working hard to make the season better for every one of the people.

Winter Holiday festival. Founded before Nadia and even Lucio’s rule over the city, Nadia’s favourite event is the festival the people throw on the frozen canals of the city (although she can’t vouch for how safe it is). But in all honesty she just loves spoiling MC with the gifts off the stalls and seeing how happy it makes others. 

Snowflake making. The return to the palace is filled with food and music but Nadia enjoys the evening most. Picking up yet another of her own family’s traditions, making snowflakes out of paper. It's a nice quiet time to talk about the festivities and share stories and generally the others show up to join in and relax with some yummy desserts.

Above all Nadia loves sharing spiced wine and reclining with MC, just sitting among pillows and drinking the night away. She’s full of giggles and chaste kisses during the evening and tells some truly terrible jokes and pranks that her siblings pulled on the servants during the season.

Julian

Stockings over the fireplace. Of the traditions he can remember Julian’s favourite were the stockings his parents filled for him and Portia, truth be told it's the only one he remembers... To this day he fills stockings for Maz, Portia and MC and somehow manages to hang them on respective fireplaces without any one of them knowing.

Does not get any sleep on Winter Holiday eve. Why? Because not only is he doing the stockings, he’s delivering presents from the ‘Winter Spirit’ to everyone he knows. Julian likes to think everyone believes in the spirit delivering the gifts but everyone knows it’s is him but they go along with it.

Popcorn and cranberry strings. For some unknown reason Julian is obsessed with popcorn and cranberry strings, maybe he likes the monogamy of it all but the real reason is he just likes hearing MC talk and there's nothing else to do but talk during the making of the stings. Also they are tasty, Malak agrees.

Draws loved ones for Winter Holiday. For all the excitement during the Winter Holiday Julian does take some time for peace and serenity, during a party or unwarping presents he’s usually sat in a chair scratching away on paper and drawing MC, or Maz, Portia, Asra, Muriel, Nadia or any one of the pets. Usually he ends up with little drawings of his loved ones to look back on year after year. It’s his favourite little tradition, one of his own. 

Strategically places mistletoe. Julian is all for kisses under the mistletoe (mainly with MC) but he is a devil when it comes to placing the mistletoe in places where it will yield the best results. No one is safe and pretty much everyone has kissed each other. Jokes on him because at one point he walked under some with Muriel. 

Bar hopping. Julian finds it very important to sample the Winter Holiday ales of all the bars in Vesuvia so he takes everyone for a round at every place. He loves seeing everyone happy and enjoying themselves and the drunken snowball fights that ensue are the funnest part of his evening even if he gets a cold afterwards...

Muriel

Making Winter Holiday ornaments. Even before the Winter Holiday season Muriel is making ornaments to hang around the hut or gift to people, he learned that many people were willing to pay for such trinkets and his skills in carving helped pay for many a meal when he and Asra were orphans. Now he does it out of habit, but is glad they make MC happy.

Makes charms that make the hut smell a certain way. A skill learned from Asra, Muriel enjoys making the hut smell like different things with his charms, they were also once popular in the market when the two sold them. Now they serve to make the hut a comforting smell, Muriel really likes the spiced orange smelling ones.

Messing around in the snow. When MC and Muriel are out in the snow the mountain man becomes strangely obsessed with messing around in it, pushing snow off branches and onto MC’s head, throwing handfuls for Inanna to snap at and even just falling into snow drifts with MC in his arms. He’s still plenty warm enough afterwards. 

Gifting to the orphans/feeding orphans. Muriel knows what it's like to have no home or family during the Winter Holiday, so there’s an open invitation to all the street urchins to spend Winter Holiday with him and MC. For all his bluster at not liking people Muriel is very warm and welcoming to the orphans.

Gift to the animals. Muriel spends the months leading up to Winter Holiday making sure each animal with have their own gift, despite the chickens seemingly indifferent take on their new hut. But the wild birds love the berries Muriel puts out and Inanna will refuse to give up her wolf pup teddy for even the juiciest slice of roast. 

Yule log and cuddles. Muriel spends many meticulous hours carving the shapes into the yule log and enchanting it to make the flames different colours so its a full fledged ritual to settle down next to the fire and cuddle with MC as both watch it crackle and sparkle. Muriel dishes out some gentle head kisses as he dozes on MC’s chin. 

Portia

Hot cocoa. Hands down Portia’s hot cocoa is the best in the city and maybe the whole world, since she was young Portia spent years making her hot cocoa recipe perfect. Julian likes to joke that it even rivals their father’s hot cocoa, Portia has tried many times to get it to taste like her father’s for Julian.

Makes MC a scarf, socks, hat, gloves. The mismatched and misshapen winter warmers Portia made in her childhood to hide in Julian’s own stockings have with practice become beautiful hand crafted sets of socks, scarves, hat and gloves that she gifts to her loved ones. 

Decorate the cottage. Since learning magic Portia has become obsessed with decorating the cottage using said magic, rainbow lights lining the path way, dancing lights around the doorway and a door knocker that sings a festive song when used. The list of decorations is exhaustive and the cottage is visible within a few miles everyone in the palace agrees it is the best decorated place in the city.

Sledding. Non-arguably Portia’s favourite thing to do in the snow, sledding is an activity she remembers doing with Julian many a winter when the snow was everywhere. She invites everyone to go sledding and even to this day she demands Julian pull the sled like he did when she was little. Even Pepi has her own little sled. 

Visit Maz who feeds Portia and MC. During Winter Holiday Maz, Portia and MC spend hours making the largest Winter Holiday feast for everyone to enjoy, packed into the small house the feast lasts just as long into the night. It’s not dissimilar to the feasts they had on Maz’s ship with the pirate crew and Portia enjoys the yummy food. 

Snowball ambush of Julian. Without fail if there is snow there is an ambush waiting to happen, it gets Julian very jumpy but without fail Portia and MC manage to get pelt him with snowballs. The resulting snowball fight usually ends in defeat for Julian, but Portia and MC hardly play fair. 

Lucio

Advent calendar. Such events as Winter Holiday were not widely celebrated by Lucio’s tribe but after discovering Vesuvia’s traditions he became infatuated with Winter Holiday. Especially the lead up to it between the two of them, MC and Lucio make advent calendars for each other, twelve days of receiving gifts which they have to hunt for in the city. 

Walk with the dogs. Once presents and morning cuddles are done Lucio and MC step out into the winter wonderland to walk the dogs (who practically disappear into the snow). The walk involves delivering presents to the others (who are warming up to the new Lucio) and chatting about various other plans for the day.

Baking gingerbread house. Ever since seeing the gingerbread houses the baker made Lucio has obsessed over making one, although he could easily buy them, but he couldn’t find anyone who wanted to make one of the palace. He’s getting better at them over the years, but MC’s own creations are much better.

Light show. In true Lucio fashion he plans the spectacular light shows that the city get to enjoy, fireworks and magic for all to watch. The light show is a far cry simpler than his other parties, but he doesn’t throw them to impress everyone, just MC.

Ballet. In the evenings Lucio would usually throw a party but since MC introduced him to the ballet’s he was invited too but never actually thought about going to. Lucio actually really began enjoying them, mostly because he likened the stories to himself and MC’s adventures. He’s actually begun planning one of the two of them for next year’s show. 

Charades. The last event of the evening is charades, usually he’s drunk or tipsy at that point so its quite funny to watch him make a fool of himself in front of the others who actually decided to indulge the former count. All he mimes is wanting a kiss from MC, who can’t help but blush even if its the fifth time he’s done it.

Announcement

Hello everyone.

First i just wanteed to say thank you so much for the love you've been giving my series "Saved by the Devil" Its been so much fun to write and i was scared to even try my hand in fanficion but you guys have been so kind and lovely its just been amazing.

Usually i would post a chapter tonight, ( tuedays is when i try to post a new chapter.) However tonight there wont be. It will be up sometime this week I'll post another annoucnement for when im gonna post it

Tonight i will post a Jaskier Haeadcannon thats been stuck in my drafts. I also kind of have an idea for longterm fic for him so maybe ill start planning on that. I also have a poem ive been working on. I work mainly on poems but I dont know if anyones interested in that but yea... See you all soon :)

[ryqoshay]

I recently finished all of the chapters in HtHaN and I must say that it was amazing. I really love your writing approach of posting chapters as snapshots in time of the life of each pairing and I adore some of the haeadcannons you have thought up (especially in HtHaN where Maki and Nico play their "You like it, Maybe" game and Maki being a big cuddler when she is sleepy). Hope to see more in the future! Btw if you name in SIF is the same as here I think we matched together in the event =)

My apologies for the obvious delay in response; it’s been a few events since the last Score or Companion Match. That said, yes, my screenname is the same here, on twitter and AO3 as well as the mobile games I play. The only difference is the addition of the 友 symbol for SIF. And as far as I’m aware, I am the only Ryqo out there in the digital realms.

That said, thank you for your kind words. I am pleased that readers continue to enjoy HtHaN as much as I enjoy writing it.

As for my writing style of random snapshots, there are a few reasons for this. The first was that I had no idea what I was getting into when I first made a meme-like post over on Sukutomo all those years ago. No outline of events or ideas for a beggining or ending. Just a handful of ideas for a few oneshots that were kinda sorta related to each other due to taking place in the same timeline. And somehow things grew out from there.

The second was that I had no idea what to write between the oneshots to truly connect them as one cohesive story. And I still lack confidence in my ability to write fights between Nico and Maki, which is why most have occurred off-screen and are merely referred to later. So oneshot collection it was to be. But to be honest, I’m still not sure if it would have been better to post the chapters as actual oneshots or collectively as I have been doing.

I honestly forget when I first came up with the “Idiot” “You like/love it” “Maybe” game but it just kinda became a thing at some point. To that end, I had to lampshade my own forgetfulness by having both Nico and Maki try and fail to remember when they started it in universe. But I’ve known plenty of couples who maintain common teasing points and similar little inside rituals, and had my own with those I’ve dated. It’s a practice I find fascinating both in the nigh universal occurrence among couples - and friendships and siblings and... - but also in the uniqueness to each.

And finally, I absolutely love the idea of tundere’ish, standoffish and easily embarrassed/flustered Maki being a snuggle bug when her defenses are down or behind closed doors. And Nico revels in it. Thus I fully intend to continue to bring up the subject in future scenes I write.

#How to Handle a Nico #Ryqo's Q&A

[mysticmessheadcanons]

Hello hello hello hello hello~!! 😂😂 Can you do a haeadcannons for the RFA +Saeran when they MC being threatened out the street (may be in front of them if you want >3

Okay ! 

YOOSUNG

he’s not an aggressive boy 

so mostly doesn’t even walk past those rough guys in the street 

cross the street ALWAYS 

but you two were walking and talking so didn’t noticed this guys 

and one of them was being a jerk 

“Girl come with us instead of that boy” 

poor Yoosung was about to punch him, even when he knew that wasn’t going to end good for him 

but in a second you have that guy on the floor 

“I told you I did Karate in school” 

actually impressed and kind of relaxed that he didn’t have to fight 

ZEN 

he was in a gang 

so he knows how to fight some assholes 

and you were going back home from some bar you went with some friends 

not even drunk

you two just had a beer and ate tons of fries

and there was some shadow in the exact point where you have to walk 

“MC don’t talk to him, just walk okay?” 

and it was a common sense not to do that 

but when you walked there this guy tried to reach your arm 

of course Zen took you in a second and started fighting him verbally 

“Don’t you ever dare to touch her or I’ll kill you” 

he was ready to leave but this guy touched your back without him even noticing 

and when he turned around your fist was in the guy’s face 

Zen knew you used to go to box classes

but didn’t knew you were this good 

“wow MC you have to teach me that” 

proud of you tbh

JAEHEE

she was always ready to fight 

like srsly 

“MC you should learn Judo with me” 

and you did 

of course you never used it so she didn’t actually knew how good you were 

but this day you were waiting for her outside her work 

Jumin was taking long to end the meeting

and you went to buy something for Jaehee

of course it was just crossing the street 

and there was some guy talking like an asshole to some girls 

like literally school girls 

“Dude, they can be your daughters. Stop being a dick and shut up.” 

you were no one to mess 

and it was wrong so you have to say something 

but he started talking to you instead

and saying that you were done by taking those girls away from him 

and Jaehee was leaving the building 

and saw it 

she was ready to fight that guy 

but you managed him pretty well 

of course it was in personal defense since he was standing in front of you 

the cops arrived a few moments later

JUMIN

it was not too normal that you two were on the street instead of a car 

but you managed to take him out for an icecream

and it was going amazing 

of course you were dressed pretty nice since he was always giving you tons of clothes 

and there were some persons close that looked at you in a really awful way 

and one girl was like “babe you see what that bitch is wearing? I want it” 

the guy came to you 

“You look nice in those shoes, I want them” 

of course Jumin didn’t got it 

“there is a shop close to here” 

but this only made the guy piss off

“dude your girl is giving me those now or I will cut you” 

he had a knife!

Jumin wasn’t good at fight but was ready to trow you aways from danger 

ready to die for you 

but you kicked that guy in the knee 

“You should say those things in front os a motherfucking lady you asshole” 

the kick + those heels wasn’t a good convention for him 

he was in the floor now 

Jumin called the police 

and they took him 

“MC were did you learned that?” 

“My dad wanted me to be safe… “

“remind me to thank your father later for raising an amazing and beautiful woman”

SAEYOUNG

Doesn’t like fights 

but is actually good at them 

he’s a secret agent so he needs to know how to fight 

but hasn’t done it in a long time 

and you went out for some food 

but since there wasn’t honey buddha chips you have to get to other store 

it was a bit far from your home 

and you two didn’t knew the place 

“you two idiots! better leave my place or I will have to take your girl with me” 

someone said from your back 

and there was a huge guy there

“Leave us, we’re buying food” 

but the guy wanted to fight Saeyoung 

“nice glasses… how would they look broken?” 

but nothing made him go angry 

until this guy talked to you 

but in that minute you took him down 

and he was like WOOOOOOOOH 

of course you haven’t used that much force with him 

so he couldn’t know you had it 

“I was in a lot of fight is my school days… not big deal” 

“hehe you’re a badass” 

SAERAN

was trying to stop his aggressive side 

so you tried no to go to dangerous places 

to not make him even think about that 

but this was a bad day 

it was raining and you forgot your umbrella 

so he was going to bring it to you 

“MC we can go to some café I saw on my way here” 

it was amazing because it was cold and coffee sounded so good now

you two went there 

but when you were leaving there was some dudes there 

and they didn’t looked friendly at all 

“two kids in a date… isn’t that cute?”

it was a pain in the ass but he was managing it very well

“maybe we should take that umbrella for us and leave them get wet” 

“I can get that bitch more wet that that” 

and he exploded 

but you didn’t wanted him to go back to how he was 

and instead you were the one who punched the guy 

right in the face 

leaving a LOT of blood there 

probably broke his nose 

but he deserved it 

“MC…”

“Saeran, I don’t really like doing this but your brother wanted me to know a few things… it was before we met” 

he’s actually glad that you didn’t let him fight
