Yay, an active Shovel Knight writing account!!! So excited!!! May I request headcanons for the OoNQ + Black Knight (or just your favorites if that's too much) with an asexual or acespec reader? 🎶

Hello! Again sorry for taking so long(guess inconsistently active is the correction lol), also since I don't write nsfw the asexual spectrum isn't much of relevance, no matter what these characters respect where ever you are on the spectrum and love you regardless of if you want sexual intimacy or not ♡ Also this is gonna have a romantic orientation

KING KNIGHT:

He would definitely hype you up everytime you enter a room

Probably would even give you your own crown that he made himself

HOPE YOU LIKE RATS!

Hope you love PDA bc he won't stop showing everyone hoe much he loves you

And even if you don't I think he woukd still do, not out of malice. More like "He's King Knight, he doesn't know abt personal space"( he def does)

Probably his mom loves you and is Happy you spend time with him

If dude is indecisive about his own portrait, if he ever wants one of you he will be even more

Dude would end up being hated by every artist in Landurr regardless if they even paint or not. But don't worry, he will do your portrait himself, and then complain it doesn't capture how special or dear you are to him and then start over again so you will end up with a dozen

SPECTER KNIGHT:

Definitely it was rlly hard for you to get this close with him

And honestly it makes sense.

He tries to act cool like always but you know he must be worried or outright scared of how it turned out last time (Good ol' Luan x Donovan)

However he is not scared of being open and honest with you

Probably even asked Red And Scarlett for some advice

He gets self conscious (more than normal) whe he does the grimm reaper act around you

PLAGUE KNIGHT:

Baby

Have you seen his down taunt when he's with mona? Yeah that's him all the time

He is all in for pda if you are too. But don't expect him to start it. He would get flustered and start mumbling like a mess

If you're not much of pda that's great for him too!

Maybe expect some poems in your desk (or wherever you spends most of ur time)

If there is a henchmen you don't like... "BOOM! HEHEHE!!"

Although if you are against him blowing up his henchmen you are gonna save so much lives

MOLE KNIGHT:

BEST HUGGER OF THE OoNQ

Even tho he is very focused in his work he will still make time for you

Something tells me he loves baking (maybe is his fire powers?) So expect him to bake some sweets for you

If you don't like them then that is fine too! He will learn to bake anything for you

Normally he is very warm to the touch as long as he isn't aqua

You have a free pass into the jacuzzi of the lost city

TREASURE KNIGHT:

You are the only treasure he needs

He will play favorites and no one will be surprised when he assigns you as his second in command

There is no limit for what this man would do for you (except my imagination atm of writing this)

POLAR KNIGHT:

Honestly I don't really see him showing affection trough PDA or straight out saying it

I think he would show it trough spending time with you

Be it eating, stargazing, taking care of the spinnwulfs or just straight up vibin

Idk why but he gives me vibes that he's a great chef

If you have a favorite food he will learn how to make it for u (is this were I make a Garlic bread joke?)

Prob Ace too

TINKER KNIGHT:

Prob one of the greenest flags in all the OoNQ

He def isn't a workaholic but has his moments

If you snap him out of those to do anything else he will gladly step back from work

But don't expect him to fully leave his projects in the work bench

Hell you prob will end up helping him one way or another

Although he loves spending time with you

He doesn't seem someone who likes to be touched by others in almost any case but you are the exception

Also if you let him he will ramble about his inventions

If you ask him for an invention he will leave any of his WIPs and work on your request immediately

PROPELLER KNIGHT:

Ironically enough I don't see him having a lot of relationship experience. Sure dude is used to others falling in love with him but rarely is the other way around

Probably that's why he locked up the rose in the first place

You are the only one for whom he will take his heads off the clouds and ground himself

ENCHANTRESS:

First of all:HOW!? GIRL IS THE REDDEST OF FLAGS

I will say this as kind as possible: You are either very powerfull or very very important in her plans

Bias aside: she would be an interesting partner

She would spoil you rotten

"Oh someone shoved you aside? Guess that's a village less in the map"

She will be constantly taking track of where you are and if she can't expect her to assign some liquid samurai to aid you and/or protect you

BLACK KNIGHT:

Dude is prob a big softie on the inside

Just ask terrorpin

Most likely overprotective but not out of jealousy or anything. Dude kinda lost contact with his friends suddenly

He doesn't really like PDA but if you do he will not oppose

Ppl definitely change Rimbaud's personality so much it annoys me. Especially when they treat him as more level headed and logical or more like. Nice than Verlaine. He doesnt read as cold as much as just very aloof and almost out of it seeming to me tho, i feel like when you meet him he seems spacey.

Ive talked about it a bunch on my blog (tho i will admit. He and Verlaine are fem4fem and nonbinary to me. They are equally masc in that they super arent masc at all. So like note that before you go looking at my posts) but like. Bro hes insane and fucked up same as his husband good lord theres so few good fics of rimlaine and i tried to write one but rereading it it sucked and all my others are wips.

Also like. Ppl feminize Rimbaud but dont even give us the fun flirty fanart??? I mean i want fun flirty art of Verlaine too but seriously come on.

Rimbaud is logical to a certain extent, at least with anything that doesn't include Verlaine. His entire mindset is that he cannot allow other people to distract from his work, that emotions will only get in the way of his achievements. This mindset is inherently illogical, of course, but it does mean that he would be more level-headed and wouldn't allow emotions to impact his actions. Fifteen isn't a great demonstration of this because his motivations are all about Verlaine, the thing he's illogical about.

Rimbaud is spacey in Fifteen, because most of the time we see him, he remembers almost nothing of his past, he's still mixing things up and having memories suddenly occur to him, he's lost. He's also fucking funny because half the things he say are absolute bullshit. Fym you were gonna jump in the fire to warm up, dramatic ass.

I love fem4fem nonbinary rimlaine, and very badly want to see your posts. I honestly think neither of them would have very strict ideas when it comes to their own genders, for a multitude of reasons. I just hate when people over-feminise one character for a ship. Rimbaud is so fucking insane, and I love him for it. His whole line about taking Verlaine back with him to France whether he has to tear off an arm or leg first? Oooofhhh, that got me good. I've tried to write some rimlaine fics myself, since I'm a picky little bastard, but honestly am having the same problems as you </3

And honestly yeah, at the very least give us some fun fanart, but nooooooo.

#ty for the ask anon <33 #i appreciate you dearly #arthur rimbaud #bsd arthur rimbaud #rimlaine #paul verlaine #bsd paul verlaine #bsd fifteen #stormbringer #bungou stray dogs #bsd

ive just caught up w ur posts from the last month, and wowow seeing how many wips you have (the ones u posted abt anyway) is rlly cool!! im excited abt everything, from the smut to the sad things to the au abt alpha nat? tho ngl dom!izzy + sub!lime has me like 👁️👄👁️

aside from allat i hope ur months been going good! i am reevaluating A Lot of things abt myself, no detail cuz i am a simple anon in ur inbox haha. everytime i reread i just feel this urge to try harder and be better? natty did it so i can too (yeh hes not real but idc hes an inspiration to me) esp when i read backwards, bby rlly grew so much :(

Thank you so much for such a sweet message lovely anon, this was honestly just so heartwarming and encouraging to read<3

Soo happy the new stuff and the wips sound exciting to you! I tend to just silently hoard a lot of these ideas because I'm afraid that if I mention them too early and then struggle finishing anything... Well, y'know, eek!

I hope you're well yourself and doing good!! I'm sending you all the warm support and encouragement for the reevaluations, take your time and be kind to yourself and all that mushy stuff!

I always feel soso happy and honestly a bitlot emo when I hear that any of the stories or Nathan's journey in general has been helpful or motivating or just... given something positive. :') Nat might not be real but he's definitely someone I often take inspiration from too whenever I'm having a hard time (and I wrote him? tf how does this even work hahaha)

Nat's always a resilient, sweet, and quietly optimistic lad beneath all the difficult and heavy stuff. Like you said, if he can keep going and do it, we can keep going and do it xx

#Thank you again anon #messages like this mean a very much a lot <3

4, 5, 12, 27 for the artist asks! ✏️

4. Fav character/subject that’s a bitch to draw

Overwatch: Probably Roadhog, mainly because of his mask. I'm also just not used to coming up w poses for him yet. Alternative answer is every overwatch character because their canon outfits are too much.

SWSH: Leon used to be the hardest, but I kinda got used to him once I stopped making his hair wings so round. (?? idk how to explain.) I guess honestly Kabu still has the hardest hair for me to draw of my SWSH favs, even with the many degrees of separation my version of his hairstyle is from his canon hair……..;;;;;

OCs: Dmitri's face shape confused me for a long time and made him the hardest to draw but idk maybe I could draw him more easily now…. (tbh i would prob just draw his face a completely different way from my original intention if I started drawing him again)

General topics: I so wish I could draw pictures of characters singing/performing in a dynamic way (mainly for Lafayette or Piers I guess) but I'm so bad at it. Also jewelry never looks expensive when i draw it, which is annoying.

5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself

I used to post almost 100% of my art online, but I'm trying not to do that as much bc fsr it's making me feel kind of weird and anxious to post every little doodle I do;; (????) I'd say I still post 95% of my drawings online tho & the only things I don't post are really sloppy things that I don't feel like are presentable or interesting.

12. Easiest part of body to draw

Tbh probably hands but only when I'm doodling and only when they're in specific poses that I draw a lot… other than that, I guess. faces. but I'm also terrible at understanding heads from different angles.

27. Do you warm up before getting to the good stuff? If so, what is it you draw to warm up with

Sometimes, but my "warm ups" are usually just excuses to draw something other than what I'm supposed to be working on LMAO;;; Usually my warm ups are just sketches of whatever characters I like drawing at the moment in some pose that I don't need to think too hard about. (eg: that lifeweaver dress wip I posted the other day was actually a "warm up" to working on new ovw stickers…. but then i ended up spending longer on that than on stickers dlskfjsdlfj)

Hiiiii! Normal ppl anon back again bc I wanted to say Spotify recommended me we'll never have sex by Leith Ross today and I only realised it was where depollute me, pretty baby was from near the end but felt very much like a video game character - like an exclamation mark appeared above my head as my brain went oh! First one's free! I had to listen to it a second time, properly paying attention to the lyrics and now I'm utterly obsessed, have been listening to it on repeat all day. It's such a beautiful song, just so lovely and warm, but also holy shit the fof of it all (I mean, I know you beat me to the mark in that so I'm preaching to the converted here but you look perfect, you look different I can't.)

But ALSO, I got here to say hi and saw you liked worst person in the world and wanted to gush because it's possibly my favourite film I've seen this year but none of my friends went to see it so I haven't talked to anyone abt it. If you'd like, I'd love to hear your opinions on it!! I felt so ridiculously moved by it, I had this heaviness in my chest for weeks after seeing it and found myself constantly thinking about it in quiet moments. Not to make everything abt me but I feel like I'm at a point where I'm trying to figure out who I am and spending more time alone and so the whole journey Julie went on resonated a lot and I think it captured the feeling of this age and point in life so perfectly.

Beyond the personal, I loved the use of chapters and narration and explicitly fantastical elements that kind of aim to remind you you're watching a film (I feel like films that you can "get lost in" and "forget you're watching a film" get a lot of praise and I'm not against that but also a story's power isn't necessarily diminished for your knowing it isn't really happening). And the way the two of them not cheating together at the start is somehow the sexiest, most fun and intimate thing ever committed to film and (to bring this back round to fof so I don't get accused of just using this as an excuse to be self-indulgent and talk abt a film I like even tho that's exactly what I'm doing) I'm vibing with the idea of Eddie and Chrissy sharing a cigarette like that absolutely iconic shot from the film.

ALSO ALSO (bc I can't shut up) the single sentence you posted from the fof wip has been living rent free

hi again sweet normal people anon!!! such a fun juicy question to pick at while i’m at the nail salon today hehe

that video game character realization bit is TOO funny!!! i love that song, highly recommend their album Motherwell also!!! such a good songwriter!!!

LOVE your thoughts on worst person in the world! i felt the same! honestly i thought it was good when i first watched it but didn’t necessarily feel like my mind was blown or anything, but then i just could not fucking stop thinking about it… sneakily impactful.

i totally understand what you’re saying! and you’re welcome to make it about you! that’s all good!

those are such great thoughts, truly. i feel like it’s such an interesting thing to see which of Julie’s partners we end up being more attached to… it sounds like you really resonate w the second (understandably!!!) and i really resonate with the first!!! (but that not cheating bit is TRULY so fun and raw and honest!)

as for the wip >:-) ty i am hoping to spend some proper time on it soon!!!!

𝕐𝕠𝕦'𝕣𝕖 𝕍𝕖𝕣𝕪 𝕀𝕝𝕝 𝕒𝕟𝕕 ℍ𝕒𝕧𝕖 𝕃𝕚𝕥𝕥𝕝𝕖 𝕋𝕚𝕞𝕖 𝕃𝕖𝕗𝕥

♩ gn!reader, pure angst and sadness because i love pain, mentions of death, suicide, cancer, terminal illness, no specific mentions tho, everyone's crying

♩♩ word count: 2.2k

♩♩♩ A/N: i put this prompt in to suffer, and now it's time ( Ĭ ^ Ĭ )

wip list here

go show the reason i stay some love plz i’m very proud of it

Chan

"Y/N baby...what's this?"

Chan was holding the medical exam form you thought you had thrown away.

"Channie...I-"

He saw the look of panic on your face, and all hope vanished.

For a moment, there was a moment when he thought it was just a mistake.

But the second he saw the look on your face, he knew that it was he who had been mistaken.

"How much longer......?"

His voice trembled, holding back his emotions and the tears in his eyes.

"......"

You didn't dare tell him, you couldn't bear to.

"Y/N...?"

"At most, two more years at the most."

He rushed over and took you in his arms.

He had never held you so tightly before, as if you would instantly disappear as soon as he let go.

"I didn't know how to tell you... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry ......"

"Don't say that... It's not your fault, it's not your fault baby...... It's not..."

His legs started to go weak as his voice became unstable, the two of you eventually fell together on the floor.

He still tried to hold back his emotions, understanding that you must have it tens of thousands of times harder than he did.

In the short amount of time you had left, he'd cherish every minute, every second of it.

Would pretend to be fine in front of you, but you knew he was crying himself to sleep every night.

The thought that you leaving him at any time tormented him.

He hated the unfairness of the world, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Absolutely nothing.

Minho

In the beginning, he would always think about going back to the way it was, always thinking that it could all be changed.

He didn't believe it, didn't accept it, didn't even acknowledge it.

You were so healthy and happy, how could you possibly be haunted by such an illness?

He didn't accept it, at all. In his mind, this was absolutely impossible.

Your hands were colder than usual? He would be by your side constantly warming them for you.

Constantly asking you to talk to him, it could honestly be about anything in the world, as long as you kept talking to him.

He would even pretend that you weren't sick at all, still treating you as before.

Absolutely no drop of tears, he felt that if he cried it would mean that he had lost.

Not only did he not cry himself, but he also didn't let you cry either.

Watching him like he was running away from the truth, you just couldn't bear it anymore.

"Wake up, Minho...stop acting like nothing's happening!"

You shouted these words with all your strength and fell to the ground helplessly.

He panicked and tried to come up to help you, but you pushed him away.

"I'm going to die! Lee Minho! I'm going to die in less than three months!"

Hearing you say the words he dreaded to hear so directly, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore. The tears he's been holding for god knows how long.

He practically crawled to your side and held your fragile body in his arms.

"I don't want you to die...I don't ......"

"I've finally found someone I love, someone I cherish, someone I want to protect...Why did this have to happen? Please Y/N...I don't want you to die, please don't leave me alone ......"

You've never seen him like this, you never thought the word "helpless" could be used to describe Minho.

But there he was, on the floor, holding your trembling body, like a helpless child.

Changbin

When he saw you lose weight day by day, losing your smile and strength, he knew you must be hiding something from him.

When you said you were going out to dinner with friends, he secretly followed you out.

The moment he saw you walk into the hospital, he knew.

"Y/N...don't hide it from me anymore, tell me, and let me bear it with you, please?"

He came home before you did and patiently waited for you in the living room.

He said those words in a serious tone you had never heard before.

You knew that you couldn't hide it from him anymore, so you sat down next to him.

You told him that you had been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer a few months ago, meaning that no amount of expensive treatment could cure it.

You asked all around Seol, going to every single hospital, but all the doctors gave you the same answer.

All of them told you to enjoy your life as much as possible.

You were going to tell him in the next couple of days, you didn't expect him to find out first.

"Why did something like this have to happen to you ......Why did it have to be you......"

He hated himself, hated that he couldn't do anything.

But he wouldn't show you that side, in front of you at least, he would only be the Changbin you knew.

In the last days of your life, he put off all his work to take you around the world, traveling and helping you fulfill all your wishes.

Surprisingly, they were without many tears, he didn't want to see you sad or be reminded of the little time you had left.

But most importantly, he wanted to recall only the happy memories of the two of you in the days to come.

When he confessed to you he said he wanted to make you happy for the rest of your life.

He kept that promise.

Hyunjin

Didn't accept it at all, even after your death.

Thought it was a punishment from God, thought it must be his fault that you would have such an illness, that you had to go through so much pain.

Blaming himself all the time in your last days, to the point where he was ignoring the fact that you still needed him.

Only sadness and tears, he simply could not manage to even pull a fake smile in front of you.

He couldn't even bear to look at you.

Seeing anything that reminded him of you would make him cry, cry until his vocal cords were damaged, until he lost his voice, until his eyes were so puffy they couldn't even open.

No amount of words you said could change his mind.

It was as if he was suffering more than you were.

You tried so hard to make him not blame everything on himself.

You had to drag him along with you to reminisce about your happy memories.

But no matter what you did, he just couldn't seem to be happy again.

It was too much for him.

He was like a broken doll after you died.

Only, unlike a doll, he could never be fixed.

Jisung

At first, he would try everything to make you laugh so that you could stay positive.

But then, when you accepted your fate, he began to fall into darkness.

He wanted to die with you, even started preparing for it, but gave up after you talked him out of it.

You left him a list of tasks to complete after your eventual death.

You hoped that by doing so you could make him regain his desire for life and living.

He refused at first, thinking there was no point in doing such a thing.

But every time he looked at your eyes, he just couldn't say no.

In the end, he agreed.

In the last days, he wrote no less than ten songs for you.

Each one of them celebrated you and your love for each other.

He would sing them to you, even though it ended in tears every time.

He said he would cherish these memories for the rest of his life and would never forget about you.

He would stare at you all the time, saying that he was trying to carve your face into his mind.

You said that you were ugly now, but he held your hand and told you how you haven't changed at all.

Maybe in his eyes, you truly didn't.

Felix

"Please tell me this is a prank, please Y/N......"

This was the reason, this look on his face was the sole reason why you've been keeping it from him.

Felix was your sun, he should always be smiling, he was supposed to be happy, not like this, not full of sadness and despair.

"Why...Why......Why did it have to be you......"

Never in his life did he think such a thing would happen to him.

How he wished you would have laughed and told him it was just a prank, just something you saw on the internet.

But with just one glance he could see that it was not a prank, you were actually dying.

He would try to pretend to be fine, but he's so horrible at acting, every time he ends up in your arms crying like a baby.

The thought of you leaving him crushed him, it truly felt like the sky was going to fall down.

He feels so sorry for you, that you have to suffer through this, and that he wasn't really helping you.

He tried, tried so hard to stay positive for you.

But he just couldn't, he just couldn't.

There were so many people in this world, why did it have to be the love of his life?

He would cherish the last days you spend together, even if there were only tears.

Because at least now you were still there.

He couldn't even start to imagine how life was going to be like, knowing that you were no longer with him.

(A/N: the reason i took a break from 24 hours after your death was felix, i just couldn't even bear thinking about him losing his love)

Seungmin

In your eyes he has always been a calm and mature person.

But you seem to have forgotten that in the end, he was only just a boy in his twenties.

Such news was still like the end of the world for him.

Saying that he cried his heart out would be an understatement.

You've never seen him like this.

After learning of the sickness, he made sure to be extra careful with you all the time, afraid to do anything to upset you even the tiniest bit.

You hated to see him like that, you just wanted the Seungmin you knew.

Even though you knew, deep down in your heart, how that wasn't possible.

He is a better actor than Felix, and after learning that you want him to "act normal", at least in front of you, he would remain the same as before.

But where you didn't see him, he would cry his heart out countless times.

He couldn't sleep without you in his arms.

You wanted to convince him to get used to sleeping by himself, but you lose to his puppy eyes every time you look into them.

You wanted him to sing to you, even though your hearing has declined to the point where you could barely hear anything.

He would lie in bed with you and sing into your ear, songs that he wrote himself, songs that only you have heard.

He seemed unchanged after your death, still living as usual.

To outsiders, it looked as if your death never happened.

But only those he knew best knew that he was never the same again.

Jeongin

Out of the blue, you told him your relationship is ending, you were breaking up with him.

You've only just started dating, and now you were telling him that it was over?

You asked him to break up so that he wouldn't be sad.

When he asked for a reason, you forced yourself and told him that you didn't love him anymore.

That he was too immature, that you only wanted him because of his fame, that you never loved him in the first place.

You thought that if you were decisive enough, cruel enough, he would be so heartbroken that he wouldn't ever want anything to do with you ever again.

You wanted him to hate you.

He cried for a long time, wondering why you had left him when you used to be so happy together, so in love.

He heard your reasonings and it broke his heart, but something just didn't feel right.

All the memories you shared, all the feelings, all those "I love you"s and late-night kisses, were all of them fake?

You seemed to underestimate his love for you and love itself.

Through a variety of ways, he eventually learned the truth.

It was like he had grown up overnight.

Lost all his childish dreams, all the joy.

He doesn't blame you, how could he?

He's just...he just regrets.

He just regrets that he didn't meet you earlier, regrets that your time together was only so short.

a little different || bau

summary: You are on your way to meet the BAU, who are just... a little different than what you’re used to. (reader & bau)

category: fluff

warnings: none

word count: 1k

a/n: hi guys!!! sorry i haven’t posted in forever!!! school has just been so busy :P anyways, this is ‘a little different’ (haha!) from what i usually write, but i hope you enjoy this short and sweet little fic! plz be kind i’m nervous >.<

MASTERLIST

The sun shined softly through the crisp, white curtains, signaling the start of a new day. Birds chirped happily outside the window; and the house was an eery quiet; maybe today could be a good day after all.

I let out a sigh and got up, passing the mirror on the way to the bathroom. My long, golden locks cascaded perfectly down my back even though I just woke up. I’m just that perfect. My blue/green/gray orbs stared back at me in the mirror. I let out a sigh and put my hair into a messy bun; I could not deal with it today.

As I was getting ready, I heard my mom yell, “Y/N!! Get down here NOW!”

Ugh, I hated her.

I made my way downstairs to see what she wanted, but there was a man standing in our kitchen.

“Um, who is this?” I asked.

“He is your new owner.” My mom replied.

“Owner?!”

He stepped forward and introduced himself, “Aaron Hotchner, FBI.” He extended his hand for a handshake but I looked at it with disgust.

My mom scowled at me, “Be nice to Agent Hotchner, Y/N, I just sold you to the BAU.”

“You sold me?!”

“Uh, yeah, I just said that.” She waved her hand, “Take her out of my sight.”

Agent Hotchner nodded and said, “Follow me,” as he passed by me.

Wow, I could not believe this.

He led me to his car and told me he was going to introduce me to the rest of the BAU.

“What is a BAU?” I asked.

“The Behavioral Analysis Unit. Your new owners.”

I scoffed.

“Just so you know, we are... a little different. But we own you now so there’s no escape from us.”

I rolled my eyes, and plugged my earbuds into my iPod and looked out the window the rest of the ride.

When we arrived at the FBI building, I followed Agent Hotchner to a small room with six other people sitting at a table. Their eyes followed me as I slowly sat down in the empty seat.

“Y/N, meet the BAU.” Agent Hotchner said. “This is Rossi,” he gestured towards an older Italian man.

“I have the money and power to kill you and make it look like an accident. But I won’t, even though I should, because it won’t be good for the plot.” Rossi said.

That’s a bit weird, but I’m just gonna go along with it.

“He’s a mafia boss,” Agent Hotchner clarified.

Rossi nodded, “And I’ve infiltrated the FBI, which means all these agents,” he gestured around, “work for me.”

“Okay then.” I nodded, like it was the most normal thing in the world.

“And this,” Hotch moved on, “is Agent Morgan. He’s supernatural.”

“...What do you mean supernatural?” I asked.

Morgan leaned forward and slyly said, “You know, vampire. Werewolf. Ghost. Fairy. Warlock. All of the above.”

“Wow. That’s hot.” I said. Omg, did I say that out loud?!

He smirked at me, and I knew that even though he was much more powerful than me and could probably kill me, that didn’t stop my heart from fluttering when he looked at me. I could feel this weird supernatural bond with him, and I had this trust in him, that he would never hurt me, even if it’s in his nature to. But in the end, he’d probably turn me into whatever creature he is so we can live peacefully together forever. But I swear, we could be happy as human and supernatural <3

Agent Hotchner then pointed to the woman sitting next to Morgan. “This is Agent Prentiss.”

She frowned at me, and I rolled my eyes back at her. It was obvious she hated me but she was so hot. The tension between us was so thick and we couldn’t stand to be in the same room together. Maybe there will be an incident one day where we reveal the most vulnerable parts of ourselves and she will be the only one I come to trust </3 I knew in time she would warm up to me and even though she hates me right now, perhaps later we will be... lovers?

“Next to her is JJ,” Hotch announced.

A blonde woman came over and hugged me, “Hi, sweetie, I’m your mom!”

“Um, no you’re not.” I said. My mom literally sold me to her.

“In an alternate universe I am, silly!” She booped my nose.

An awkward silence filled the air.

“You know, in another alternate universe you could have been sold to, I don’t know, One Direction or something.” JJ laughed.

I laughed with her. Wow, she’s so crazy.

Hotch cleared his throat. “And this, is-” I turned to where he was pointing and gasped.

“Spencer?!”

“Y/N, hi.” He quietly said.

I walked over and gave my childhood friend a hug. “I haven’t seen you in so long!” I exclaimed. After giving him a tight squeeze, I released him, only to see his cheeks tinged a bright pink. He only blushed like that when he had a crush. Could we become childhood friends... to lovers?

“And lastly,” Hotch said. “This is Penelope Garcia, your-”

“Soulmate!” She finished for him. “See our matching tattoos! And I can hear your thoughts! And you can hear mine! And if we write on our skin, the other person can see it! And we can feel each other’s pain! Isn’t that so cool!”

Yeah!! I thought.

“I know right!!” She responded out loud.

Omg she really is my soulmate.

I smiled at her and gave her a hug.

Most people would probably think it’s really weird to be sitting at a table with a mafia boss, a werewolf/vampire/whatever, an enemy, a childhood friend, a mom from an alternate universe, and soulmate, but I am NOT like other girls so I was completely okay with it. I’m also okay with the fact that my actual mom sold me to the FBI. Because I hate her.

I looked up at Hotch. “So what are you?”

"Me? I’m just your normal FBI boss. And we’ve got a case.”

“A case?? I’m not trained for the FBI!”

“You will be. Wheels up in 30.”

...

APRIL FOOL’S!!

haha, if you couldn’t tell by now, this entire “fic” was my little april fool’s joke :’) i tried to squeeze every wattpad trope in to this monstrosity of a fanfiction and i wish i could say i hated writing it but it was honestly pretty funny... even tho it’s so, so painful to read. anyways, sorry if you were expecting an actual fic, i am trying my best to work on my wips but until then check out my masterlist (with writing that is much better than this)! <3

Best IF blogs to follow? Either sexy WIPs or just people posting about them generally.

Ooooh ! to spice this up (since i think u sent this to a few people) … here are just 4 of my current fav wips + compliments to the authors bc u all deserve some positivity mwah !! i can totally do another one of these if ppl are interested 😌

pls do take a look at the author’s summarisations of plot & content warnings etc, which i won’t be touching on!

The Nameless by @parkerlyn - which i beta for so i may be a leeeetle biased hehehe

This is the kind of setting where it feels comfortable and warm, like coming home! Parker is incredible at writing in general, but for me its those intricate details about buildings and settings which make the magic/lore feel so immersive. I often find myself going back to read passages back again! It’s also rare for me to get attached to ROs so quickly, but they’re so distinct I literally cannot choose a favourite! Every time I read it’s like meeting up w/ old friends. plus some magical angst and intrigue to spice things up bc of course

Body Count by @bodycountgame

Finally read this last week and I am absolutely hooked by the vibes!! The way Nell writes is SO fun and all the UK specific references kill me. First of all it’s incredible that such a big cast is already so fun and dynamic - Syd is my fav bc I never thought I’d see another edgy nb from the midlands… so ofc they ended up in the bottom 3 🤡 The concept in itself is so genius and I am STILL seething and searching through for clues- which kind of gives you an idea of HOW much this IF is living in my head rent free ……..

The Northern Passage by @northern-passage

If this demo were a cake i’d eat 10 in one sitting and still crave more (it’d be a cake full of trauma and maybe monsters tho probably 💖). Kit’s writing is so beautifully atmospheric, as well as visceral- every twist just has my heart lurching. I first played this when awake at 1am and honestly 10000/10 best decision ever. The world building and characters so far are fascinating, and I’m unbelievably excited to see more. My favs so far are Lea and Clem bc hurgurghhhhhh…. pining nbs ……

Attollo by @attollogame

OK so i just read this today (THREE TIMES) and am still playing through all the demo variations and?? Holy shit. I love when an MC is just as clueless as us, and am an absolute sucker for thrillers. The writing style somehow finds this middle ground b/w ominous and hilarious (mostly bc the MCs internal monologues are so funny ksfdjfksf), and I am just. Utterly enthralled already. If I had to pick a couple of initial faves it'd be Pariah and Sysba bc what else did we expect from me, truly🧍🏽‍♀️

#author love beam: ACTIVATED 💓💗💖💘💝💞💕💞💖💗💓💘#psychoanalyse me via RO choice if u will <333 #asks #long post

Lauraa I finished all the fics, apart from decay (currently reading that now) and I love it sm! Especially the lip gloss one lmao the whole thing was so hilarious to me XD but also like the concept of lwj wearing lipgloss is >>> -yibobibo

@yibobibo then i'm going to rec you some more!! the lip gloss one was !!!!! ajsksks yes!! lwj wearing lipgloss is just so!! good!!

modern

this one is the painful one i talked about:

visitations by var_abelasan (12K, wip, divorced wangxian, post divorce, most of this is angst, uhm lowkey don't but also do want wangxian to end up together, it's messy, the jiangs & lans are shitty, wwx was in prison (brief mentions of that but it's kind of a major plot point), mxy & xy are the little brothers he never wanted but wwx picked them up anyways)

"Wei Ying-" Lan Zhan says, stutters, "I'm sorry."

And now Wei Wuxian sees it, the red rimming Lan Zhan's eyes, the rumpled edges of his blazer. There is an old, familiar urge for him to reach over, to hold Lan Zhan's hand and smooth his hair, to tell him that everything will be fine.

"We're all a bit sorry about this, I think," he says instead, and finds that he means it. For Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji and everyone else in that Guanyin temple, the pain must be unbearably fresh, like skin just flayed open. But Wei Wuxian's chest had been cracked open a long time ago, his wounds licked and cauterized and sewn shut over five long years - Ever hurting, but a dull, constant ache, "It's really alright, Lan Zhan."

Five years after being accused of corporate espionage and losing everything, the Guanyin Scandal breaks open and Wei Wuxian finds a familiar face at his door.

please don't let me be misunderstood by sysrae (3K, partly deaf!wwx, lwj notices, nobody else does though, idk wwx is like made out of fucking steel or some shit)

Lan Wangji has known Wei Ying for a fortnight, the first time he sees him get hit by a car.

light by redkosmos (10K, blind!lwj, which causes angst, but they manage it, best friends to lovers, fluff, lwj being insecure and feeling like a burden, college au kind of? but it doesn't matter too much)

The realization slowly dawns on him.

He can never again see the brightness of Wei Ying's eyes, the way they crescent when he smiles, never again see the rich black of his hair, the mess of it in the early mornings, never again see the beautiful tan of his skin, the beauty of the scars and marks adorned on it, how he wears his clothes, how it hugs his frame beautifully, how he looks like he's adorably swimming in cloth when he wears Lan Zhan's, and-

(Lan Zhan loses his vision in a car accident and learns to cope with it.)

don't leave me by trippinonskies (19K, brief very brief mention of lwj cheating, he doesn't but wwx is afraid lwj is cheating on him or just wants to break up with him, (he doesn't), marriage proposal, lwj acting distant = wwx's insecurities show up, fluff, angst and comfort)

Lan Zhan! Where are you lost today?” Wei Wuxian finally asks, at the end of his patience.

Lan Zhan looks a little guilty as he looks at Wei Wuxian, “Sorry, just a lot of work to deal with.”

Lie.

If there is one thing Lan Zhan can’t do, it’s lying. Especially to Wei Wuxian. But he doesn’t question Lan Zhan. He just accepts the reply, too scared to know that he is right. Too scared to know the truth.

// or where Lan Zhan is too hung up in planning the perfect proposal and ends up accidently ignoring Wei Wuxian making the other think that he wants to break up //

want you closer by xiaobucephalus ((3K, HORSES, only in the background tho, but wwx is an equestrian vet, which is so fucking valid bro, the lans own horses, a sick bunny, lwj the bunny parent!, super cute, dark bay throughoutbred chenqing is honestly so valid)

“Thank you,” Lan Zhan said, breathing a sigh of relief.

“Don’t thank me, Lan Zhan,” Wei Ying laughed again, his voice warming the chill of fear that had settled in his chest. “I’ve been looking for an excuse to get into your hutch for a while anyway.”

safe in your thoughts by anonymous (20K, it's a cherry magic au???? (i haven't watched it, but you have i think?), horny lwj but only for wwx (always for wwx))

Wei Wuxian learns three very important things on the night of his twenty-seventh birthday.

One, that Lan Wangji is ridiculously funny, which Wei Wuxian had known before but what Wei Wuxain hadn’t expected was Lan Wangji to be funny at his brother’s expense.

Two, that Wei Wuxian had finally gone mad, absolutely mental at the ripe age of twenty seven because nothing else would explain the third thing he had learnt.

Third, and the most unbelievable of the lot, that Lan Wangji wants to fuck him.

iura by yoo_im_finally_writing (1K, only added bcs op is right and wwx would've the cutest german accent, it's more fun if you understand german so hit me up if you want translations for the german sentences)

Wei Ying calls in the middle of the night to talk about German law, and Lan Zhan tries very hard not to fall asleep. Or at least, not to let Wei Ying notice he's falling asleep. (As best friends do.)

breathe in the air, the last of its kind by wereworm / @neverdoingmuch (27K, getting together, jealous!lwj, but also kind of supportive, brief mention of cheating bcs of miscommunication, no actual cheating tho, college au, lwj pov)

Following Wei Ying’s line of sight, Lan Wangji can barely prevent a smile from crossing his lips when he sees the short row of rabbit statuettes placed at the front of the display. Silver, with bright gems for eyes, they look elegant yet lively and animated.

“A-Yuan would love one of those,” Wei Ying murmurs, almost as if to himself.

Lan Wangji frowns; the rabbits, while cute, don’t seem like a suitable gift for Wei Ying’s A-Yuan.

...

It’s only when he glances back at the rabbits and notices what has been placed on display behind them, that the pieces fall into place. They’re engagement rings, there’s no doubt about it. Lan Wangji feels his heart sink – Wei Ying isn’t just dating A-Yuan, he wants to propose to him.

Or: the five times Lan Wangji thinks that A-Yuan is Wei Ying’s boyfriend and the one time he learns the truth.

paint smears on sunny days by snowshadowao3 / @angstsexual (53K, getting together, art teacher!wwx, single parent!lwj, they're rich if i remember right, wwx & lwj are both good with kids!!!, this is so good actually, fluff)

To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.

He comes close, though.

By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.

What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.

“Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”

Lan Wangji stops in his tracks.

(Or: Falling in love with your son’s art teacher, in five parts)

no bunny compares by gusucloudbunny (4K, god this is cute, fluff)

“Lan Zhan!” Wei Wuxian cornered his friend one week before his birthday. “If you could have anything in the world, what would it be?”

Lan Wangji furrowed his brow at Wei Wuxian, not exactly sure how to answer that question in a truthful manner that didn’t involve confessing his undying love for his best friend.

Wei Wuxian is on a mission to get Lan Wangji the perfect gift for his birthday. What Wei Wuxian doesn't know is that the only thing Lan Wangji truly wants is him.

wei wuxian's week of realizing things by photojenny (12K, i have read this multiple times, i always forget what happens, idk why but my notes say it's good, the tags say drunkji makes an appearance and i'm always up for that)

"Lan Zhan, do you like Mianmian?" asked Wei Wuxian.

Lan Wangji blinked, and stared. It was not the first time Lan Wangji had questioned the perceptiveness of the boy he had a crush on. Wei Wuxian had been smart in the class they had taken together. Yet time and time again, Wei Wuxian had tested the old wisdom that there are no stupid questions.

---

Lan Wangji must figure out how to confess when Wei Wuxian is the most oblivious person he's ever met.

are you my wisdom tooth? because i'd like to take you out by yellowcarnations (1K, crack, fluff, lwj stop flirting with a stranger, even if he is your husband, drunkji but make it to max level)

Lan Zhan wakes up and he has no idea where he is.

There are bright lights and his jaw hurts, he doesn't who this man next to his bed is but oh he might be in love, maybe, probably, definitely.

–

based off that guy-forgets-who-his-wife-is-and-hits-on-her vid but its wangxian.

beep! goes his heart by wearing_tearing (3K, fluff, lwj is like "he, he likes me right? he likes me" and everyone is like "yes, yes he does")

“Wei Ying’s heart monitor,” Lan Wangji starts.

Wen Qing blinks at him. “Yes?”

“It beeps.”

“That’s… what they generally do, yes.”

“The beeps change,” Lan Wangji continues, “when others are around.”

Wei Ying’s heart only sings for Lan Wangji.

canon

obedient and bellicose by thunderwear (19K, lwj is cursed by the lan elders, they notice too late, fix-it fic kind of?, lqr being a good uncle and lxc is a good brother, wwx accidentally uses the curse but he doesn't know about it)

It took Lan Wangji a long time to realize he was cursed. Too long really, anyone else would have noticed so much sooner. The problem was, he liked following the rules.

Ella Enchanted AU that no one needed but I wanted.

hello my old heart, how have you been? by ravenditefairylights (10K, amnesia, fluff, wwx taking care of lwj, so much fluff and softness, angst too but not that much)

The issue is, Lan Wangji brings his thoughts back before they stray too far, that it is impossible for someone to be in his bed, unless Lan Wangji himself invited them. He has not. He would remember doing so, and besides, all his night clothes are still on and there is no headache to imply that he was inebriated last night. No, the situation is simple.

There is someone in Lan Wangji’s bed. It is impossible for anyone to be in Lan Wangji’s bed, and yet that doesn’t seem to have stopped the stranger.

or lan wangji wakes up, and wei ying is there. he doesn't understand how or why, and he can understand even less why his hallucination of wei ying is so insistent on bathing him, and braiding his hair, on holding him and fixing his clothes. why the hallucination of wei ying seems so happy to see him.

teach me the way by likeafox (58K, rogue cultivator!wwx, horny wangxian, lwj wants wwx to teach him how to be a good lover, ....wwx is a virgin, the porn is the plot, but there's less of it than i thought)

"I do not wish to leave my future spouse… dissatisfied with my intimate knowledge,” Lan Zhan says, very seriously. “I am hoping to find an instructor, to better prepare myself for such matters."

Wei Ying feels his mouth drop open. He's pretty sure the Second Jade of Lan just told him he's a virgin who wants to learn how to do sex good.

Rogue Cultivator Wei Wuxian is the stuff of local legends. Some of those legends are even true! The ones about his tremendous experience in bed, on the other hand, are not so true. Which becomes a problem when Lan Wangji, on the verge of an arranged marriage and worried he won’t know how to please his future spouse, enlists Wei Ying's help to teach him the art of love-making. Wei Ying's great at improvisation, though, and is pretty sure he's got this sex mentor thing under control. What could possibly go wrong

other aus

of god: my love unholy by tunnelodfawn (3K, tw blood / war, dark!lwj, god!wwx, kind of poetry)

Lan Zhan takes everything as a sign from his god. The blood staining his fingertips—a holy anointment. He sanctifies himself through blood. The strings of his guqin gleam red in the sun—a divine blessing. This is an instrument of destruction. A single note—a cry of power—and in this note the voice of his god unravels the earthly threads tethering man to earth.

The Yiling Patriarch blesses Lan Zhan with war. Wei Wuxian blesses Lan Zhan with agility. Wei Ying blesses Lan Zhan with love.

The base of the Yiling Patriarch’s shrine is the home of Lan Zhan’s knees. He worships. There is something of the blasphemous and the unholy in his prayers. He prays not for victory but for the sight of Wei Ying. Bless me with your presence, he begs.

Or, wherein, Lan Zhan bridges the gap between the mortal and the divine—the worshipper and the god—with blood.

the river and the sea by sasamelons / @sasamelons (7K, soulmate au, arranged marriage (wangxian with each other), they're both kind of dumb but i love it)

Lan Wangji gritted his teeth, wishing to just be left alone. "I am looking for my soulmate," he ground out.

"Oh."

It took Lan Wangji a few moments to realize that Wei Wuxian had stopped following him. When he looked back, the other boy seemed to be frozen to the spot, eyes wide and lips still parted. He quickly looked away when he saw Lan Wangji looking back. "I see. Well, have a good trip!"

At six years old, Lan Zhan met his soulmate on the streets of Yiling and promptly lost him again.

At sixteen years old, Lan Wangji met his betrothed and was determined not to like him.

#so...i realized i forgot to check the things i already listed but? i tried to avoid listing fics twice?#yes i've mostly been reading oneshots these past few weeks idk why but i can't seem to find any long fics #or at least not ones that i like #wei wuxian #lan wangji #wangxian #wangxian fics #mdzs #mdzs fic #cql fic #the untamed #aamna tag #we're almost through the rec list now? i have so much open but idk why i add so few #i'm just really picky when it comes to which ones to write down and which ones not #and then this became a kind of comfort list?#idk?#but also ANGST #not Angst but ANGST #fun fact: Angst means fear in german

I'm a huge fan of your fics (what jayroy fan is tho) and was wondering what your favourite tropes, Aus etc you love reading?

Are their any story's you would love to read but neither you or @basementqueer19 want to / will write?

What do you enjoy reading beyond jayroy content?

Hey!

That is so sweet of you, thank you 💜💜💜 It's so awesome to hear that you enjoy my writing so much 😄

My favorite trope in terms of JayRoy has to be idiots to lovers - no matter what AU, give me these two bumbling their way to a happy ending and I'm sold. I also very much enjoy every story that incorporates Jason having had a crush on Roy since his Robin days - that just is one of my favorite headcanons. Oh, and of course Roy, Jason and Lian as a happy little family - that's the good stuff!!! Also, time-travel - with all of the insanity and drama in comic books, this trope just always brings so much chaos! (Lol, you can really tell that my favorite tropes are the ones I use myself.)

With AU's - I'm not too picky, honestly. As long as the story is interesting, I give everything a try. I mean, I write omegaverse, so you know I like that one. Recently I've been very interested in no-cape AUs (as in, I'm writing two of them...).

Stories I would love to read but don't write...I've thought about this for a while now but I honestly can't come up with something.

The only things I know I won't ever write are a) JayRoy as an abusive relationship and b) Bruce and/or Ollie as bad parents, and those things I also don't want to read.

Otherwise...if I come up with an idea I find interesting and there isn't a fic of it out there already, I start writing it myself - that's why I have so many on-going stories (seriously guys, what I've got on AO3 isn't even half of it - I've got so many WIPs on my laptop 😅).

Oh, maybe a reverse Robins story that focuses on a JayRoy romance - I don't think I've ever read one of those, but I would really enjoy that.

Other than JayRoy I do read a variety of Batfam fics, from the darker whumpy stuff to the fluffy ones (or at least I do when I have the time 😅) - it always depends on my mood really. Though I mostly read fics that are Jason centric to be honest. In terms of pairings I don't read much beyond JayRoy in the Batman fandom - DamiJon can be fun, and I do read the occasional DickWally, Joyfire, Superbat fic, but really, JayRoy is it for me in terms of romance. If it's not them I go for found family instead - warm and fluffy really is my go to (which you can probably tell from my writing 😉).

#I'm very sorry this took so long to answer 🙈#I'm just super busy right now and have so much less time for fandom stuff than I'd like #I was really excited about this ask though so thank you so much for sending it in!#sunny answers

Fic Writer Questions! (you can find me here on AO3 if you're interested!)

tagged by dear @theburialofstrawberries mwah!

1) How many works do you have on AO3?

112 yowza!

2) What’s your total AO3 word count?

750,421 kinda tempted to go delete one word so it can be 750420 which is a far more Pleasing number

3) How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

12ish but some of them overlap: BBCS/Sherlock Holmes/ACD (these are all different bc my bbcs fics are not the same as my own modern fem Sherlock Holmes adaptation are not the same as my ACD Holmes fic; Good Omens; Harry Potter/The Werewolf Draco Malfoy Cinematic Universe; Captive Prince; The Hobbit; Fleabag (it was a crossover with BBCS but Fleabag is the perspective character so it still counts as a separate fandom imo); Doctor Who; The Office; Parks and Rec; Broad City (one a piece for those last 5 but I AM going to write a Parks and Rec polycule fic for @gaykagome)

4) What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

They're all Good Omens fics from the 2019 Summer of Good Omens! Susceptible to Summer, Fragments Shored Against My Ruin, Something So Magic, Enter Serpent, and Anything We Like

All of those have over 2k except the last one, but average engagement for me is like 400 kudos or so

5) Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I try! It depends on what's going on with me. Sometimes I just don't have the energy, and I figure people would rather I spend my brain power on writing new fics than on writing replies to comments. Wish I had a fave button tho so I could let people know I read and reread comments, because I do!

6) What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Oh I wrote this ficlet series called A Chemical Defect about John and Sherlock's relationship in s3 of BBCS, and it's WILDLY unpopular. People don't read my fic to cry sad tears I guess! John and Sherlock are having an affair in the story, and it ends with the implication that their relationship is unsustainable and that Mary knows about it anyway. I intended to come back to it after s4 and write a more optimistic ending but LOL! Didn't have the heart.

7) What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

I know this answer is kinda up my own ass, but like. I think stories that feel true to life sort of feel like they end on a beginning if you know what I mean? You don't really consider a chapter of your life closed until you look back on it from the next? SO that said, I think I'd have to say that it's my big BBCS serial The Only One in the World. I spent 2 years writing it, and it ends with John retiring from medicine to solve crimes and write books full time.

Could also be my WDMCU (werewolf Draco Malfoy cinematic universe) series Moonrise, which starts with Draco isolated in his abusive mother's house, trying to cope with lycanthropy essentially alone and ends with him in love and surrounded by found family in a cozy cottage in Hogsmeade, having gotten some lycanthrope rights legislation passed after working at it for years and talking to Harry about whether they want to have kids. Oh man I feel warm and fuzzy just thinking about it

8) Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve written?

I have written one crossover. It's BBCS/Fleabag, because me and @loudest-subtext-in-tv were laughing about how John seems like one of the horrible guys Fleabag sleeps with basically out of self loathing, so I wrote this fic to make Nattie laugh, and you should read it bc it's so good and so underrated.

9) Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Not really, but people don't seem to know that authors can read bookmark tags unless you private the bookmark, and someone once put in the bookmark tag on one of my fics 'writing was meh but it was okay.' Okay so why bookmark it then??

10) Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Fuck yes! I'm not sure what 'what kind?' means? People fucking? Sloppy, silly, and awkward, with lots of laughing. I also really like writing afterglow scenes which are even sillier and gigglier and often involve one character cooking for another. Food as love language is a very distinct pattern of mine tbh

11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of, but occasionally I'll write a post on here where I make some elaborate head canon, and I'll see people in the tags talking about how they want to write fic of it, and it makes me breathe fire out of my nose like a dragon like PLEASE DON'T. The WDMCU came out of a ficlet post I made on here like a year before I actually wrote the 60k series so like!!! Please don't do that!

12) Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! To Russian and I believe Chinese. Not my entire oeuvre but a handful of BBCS and Good Omens fics

13) Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, but I wrote a fic inspired by an RP I did with my gf right around when we met (actually now that I think about it, it's two fics), and I waaaaaaanna do a WDMCU collab with my beloved Sally @clytemenestras at some point if he has time bc he inspired me to even write werewolf draco with his original lesbian werewolf story

14) What’s your all time favorite ship?

favorites are hard for me? I always think I'm currently doing my best writing lol so I'll say drarry

15) What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

I don't post fics unless theyre finished, so I don't have any WIP up on AO3, but I did intend to continue with my fem Sherlock Holmes series, Your Many Tendencies. I just haven't been in a Holmes mood for a long time. Maybe I'll come back to it idk. This particular series is honestly very unpopular? People will just straight up say they don't read femslash, and it hurts a lot. This series feels really personal too, bc it's about a Black autistic nonbinary lesbian, so it does hurt my feelings that no one seems to care, yknow? I mean the people who read it are extremely kind and thoughtful in their engagement with it, but it has vastly less engagement than my m/m fic, and that's painful. It gets literally 1/10 the attention my fics usually get.

16) What are your writing strengths?

Almost all of my writing is romance, but I tend to write concurrently about recovery and found family, and I think I'm very good at doing that in a way that connects with my audience. I once had someone ask if they could use my words in their wedding vows, and I've had people tell me they started doing things with their spouse that my characters do with their partners in order to express love. I think about that all the time. My Impact. It makes me feel like I have a real duty to my audience yknow?

17) What are your writing weaknesses?

This question is hard for me like I've been writing so long and so much that I'm literally always happy with my final draft! It's always exactly to my taste, yknow? I suppose I could say that my fics tend not to be terribly plotty but so WHAT? That's beside the fuckn point for me. Plot who? I don't know Her. Also honestly like. Stories feel more True to me when they aren't ruthlessly devoted to plot bc like life isn't like that yknow?

18) What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

If you're not fluent in that language, get a beta who is!!!!! That said, I have written scraps of very simple dialogue in French using mostly Google Translate (sometimes I check w Sally bc he speaks French but I am usually too impatient), and I am perfectly well aware that I take my life in my hands each time!!! Also don't do that bullshit thing where it's in italics? That shit is weird and exoticizing. Just write it in quotation marks like normal dialogue.

19) What was the first fandom you wrote for?

BBCS babey back in 2012. Ended a 5 year dry spell for me after I got my writing degree.

20) What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Hmmmm I think it's probably gonna be the fic I'm working on now that I haven't posted yet, but I know it's called Names for a House, and here's a tiny bit of it

Thanks again Shreya for asking me to do this bc I really love talking about myself. I tag @the-moon-loves-the-sea, @clytemenestras, @tomiano, @gaykagome and @totallysilvergirl

Don’t hate me but… I kinda want you to answer all of the deep dive WIP asks 🥺 if that’s unreasonable tho, just 2, 9, and 10 please!

I am SORRY for the delay!!! i answered every question for BOTH projects so you're in for like.... several thousand words of shit that makes absolutely no sense, but i hope you you enjoy it! :)

1. Who are two characters that don't like each other? What do they reveal about each other to the readers? Will they ever learn to put aside their differences?

White Crane: okay this is hard because like. so many people do not like each other. (I know I made a post once about how terrible it would be to be one of twenty-eight people that have the power of dead gods but are trapped in stupid human bodies and you're all a thousand years old and hate each other so so so so so much because you all SUCK.) But for the sake of simplicity, I will talk about Ciaran and Sihla who never got along but only played nice to keep Anwei happy. They absolutely do NOT put aside their differences lmao once everything kind of, um, blows up between the three of them, all they want to do is KILL each other. She makes it her life's goal to make him suffer, and he basically loses his sanity in the process of trying to find a way to kill her for good. The beef is unbelievable. ANYWAY, what they reveal about each other is that Ciaran is not nearly as innocent in anything as he likes to pretend and Sihla is not as guilty as everyone says she is. I mean, she is still a terrible person in many ways, but that does not excuse the things he did to her all those years ago. She hates him for many, many good reasons.

Old Blood: Andhira HATES the entire Ekion family, but specifically the oldest son (who does not have an official name yet.... oops). He doesn't much care for her either but is usually too busy trying to better his social standing to worry too much about her. Except when they're in the same room together (which happens semi-regularly because her brother is kind of in love with him lmao). They hate each other for the exact same reason and it's that they're both SO arrogant. They look down on everyone around them (which in Andhira's case is like. fair. She's the firstborn of the two most powerful people on the planet, and the only person that comes close to that level of power is her twin brother who was born a mere fourteen minutes after her) but think the other is completely unjustified in their actions. Really all it reveals to a reader is that they both kind of suck and need to get over themselves because all that behavior does is make people resent you. They only put aside their differences because she does kind of need his help once or twice, but they would gladly spit in each other's face and/or push each other down a flight of stairs in the name of pettiness.

2. What do you hope your readers will take away from your wip? Is there an intentional theme to the story?

These can be answered together! I started writing these stories because I wanted to have fun but they've both kind of morphed into a long-winded way of saying that like. it's okay to be messed up and hate yourself and have major internal struggles because there are people who still love you. I KNOW it doesn't sound like that from uhhhhhh literally everything I've ever said about this stuff but bear with me. The BIG theme is that love is EVERYTHING. All kinds of love. It's the reason to keep on going. You are never alone, even strangers can love you in their own way, etc etc etc etc. Also gay love fucking prevails always and forever.

3. What do you love most about your protagonist?

Yixing is funny and weird and definitely a horse girl and he kind of sucks sometimes because he's stubborn as hell and has terrible people skills and maybe also a drinking problem, but he is kind and empathetic and despite the absolute hell he's lived through, he still sees the good in people and knows that it's easy to make mistakes and that most people deserve second chances in life. Also I like him because he is without a doubt the ideal man and I made him that way on purpose. And god I wish we could drink together. I'm talking stumbling drunk, crying on the bathroom floor, please-hold-my-hair-i'm-about-to-throw-up kind of drinking. We would have a great time being stupid together I think.

Vera is resilient and mean and stubborn and cold and off-putting and hard to get to know, and she sucks for those reasons but it's also why I love her so much. She has also lived through hell and it didn't make her try to see the good in people like Yixing does. It just made her bitter and resentful. She warms up over time, but she fights tooth and nail against it. I also love her so much because she is the archetype of like. the washed up former prodigy that has to return sort of against her will to her old life, and she realizes that she misses it in some ways but also remembers exactly why she left. I would Not want to drink with her (because she doesn't drink anymore), but I would love to take one of her art classes.

4. Is there anything in the story that is implied but not directly stated? Will this become more relevant later on? How perceptive would a reader have to be to pick up on this?

White Crane: This is hard because I'm so invested in my own shit that it feels obvious to me, but I try to lay out a little candy trail that tells the reader that Ciaran and Anwei are Not What They Seem right from the start. It’s hard to explain without specific examples but it’s in the way they talk, they way they interact with other people, the way certain things they say don’t line up, etc etc etc. And there is a Big Hint of what will happen to Ciaran in the second and third installment, but idk if that counts. Also there are definitely implications that Yixing is trans but that's neither here nor there (honestly I’ve gone back and forth on whether or not he should be explicitly trans or if it should be left to reader interpretation because well... I don’t know if I'm capable of writing the nuance of transness because I'm not trans despite my complex and confusing relationship with gender but I'm also not a thirty-something year old Asian man NOR am I a god NOR am I a former vampire hunter NOR am I like. any of the things I write about other than a mean lesbian so. who knows?)

Old Blood: TRUE FANS already know this one, but regular degular readers that haven't participated in funny question friday or read my random late night posting would not immediately know that Josef and the Sovereign were once involved. Basically the only characters in the story that know are Josef, Luka, the Sovereign himself, and Tahire. But there are definitely some hints peppered throughout conversations and perhaps some photos and trinkets that Josef has kept after all this time... It has like no weight on the events of the story but I just think it's fun. Once again I am way too invested to know if it's easy to pick up on or not but I think it takes some theorizing about maybe? Other than that there aren’t any significant secrets.

5. Which character has the most intricate backstory? Is this backstory common knowledge from the start, or is it revealed later on? How does the backstory affect the narrative?

White Crane: this is unfair because some of the characters are almost a thousand years old and some of them are like. 35. I DO have a full timeline written out of the thousand years of history that Ciaran and Anwei have lived through, if that counts as an answer. Like it doesn't have every single day and year, but it has all the big events for sure. Barring that, Yixing definitely has a pretty complex backstory. The man gets around lol and I try (and maybe fail?) to make him seem not too complex initially but then things get revealed and you learn more about him and are like “oh my god no wonder this man has Problems.” Also if he was like. “normal” and perhaps “well-adjusted” the story would not exist at all because he is the way he is and makes some of the stupid decisions he does because of his weird little life.

Old Blood: ONCE AGAIN, this is unfair because the Sovereign is like older than god. And Vera is 37. But like. I haven't fleshed him or any of the old ass vampires out nearly as much as Vera so there's your answer I guess? And I guess the important things are known from the start (that she was a prodigy, that she retired because terrible shit happened and she couldn't handle it, that she suffers from significant ptsd because of it, etc), but there is a lot of detail that doesn't come out until much later when she has to confront her Feelings (ewww feelings). Uh... the backstory affects the narrative because it wouldn't exist at all if Vera wasn't plagued by her fucked up blood nightmares lol

6. Which two characters have the most complicated relationship? How does their relationship develop over time?

White Crane: Ciaran and Anwei totally. They love each other because they're brother and sister and were all the other had for a VERY long time (and even when they were still uh mortal, they relied on each other constantly), but also they hate each other because they're brother and sister. You know how it is with siblings. I love my brother and sister to pieces but I can't imagine being immortal and having to put up with the both of them for all eternity (sorry guys if you are reading this somehow.... I love you but we are all so annoying god bless). They handled their newfound godhood very, very, very differently and it kind of colors their relationship for the rest of time. There were times where they were extremely codependent and other times where they didn't speak to each other for DECADES. At the start of our story, they're on much better terms and have buried all their hatchets, but it doesn't take much for that to change....

Old Blood: Probably Vera and Andhira? They're only brought together because of their shared fucked up blood nightmares, and neither of them like that thought. They both resent the other for everything they are, and Vera is pretty much completely hostile to Andhira about it for a long time (and Andhira is only just barely cordial lol), but obviously a significant part of the plot revolves around them like. falling in love so they DO get over it after a while :)

7. What is the most heart-wrenching scene in your wip? Why?

White Crane: When Yixing fucking DIES. I feel like this one should be self-explanatory. But I mean if you would like further explanation, it's unpleasant and slow and agonizing and nobody can do anything to stop it (haha....... unless?) so Ciaran gets to hold him for a long time and feel really bad about it lol

Old Blood: idk if there are any really heart-wrenching scenes but there are definitely some miserable and uncomfortable scenes like where Vera relives in vivid detail the days that she witnessed the gruesome deaths of her young apprentice and her last lover. They're upsetting because those are the two days that basically ruined her life (and one was the final straw that sent her spiraling completely out of control) and it's painful to watch her have to live with the guilt of what happened even if it wasn't her fault.

8. What is a song that you associate with your wip? Explain.

White Crane: not to be basic but absolutely without a doubt in my stupid mind “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears lol it's because uh. well. Everybody wants to rule the world right? Basically way back in 2019 when I was crafting the ideas for the dnd campaign that became this thing instead, I was definitely having a metal gear moment (honestly I’m about to have a metal gear moment NOW lol) and was listening to a lot of like. mgs adjacent music and latched onto this song (and also promises, promises by naked eyes lmao) as some like thematic element. Like my brain making amvs. You know how it is. ANYWAY the point is. The concept was originally way different and was supposed to be more about the immediate aftermath of the so-called end of the world (yes Yixing was still there and yes he was still just some guy), and it focused a lot more on power struggles between all of these insane people that were granted godhood in the wake of the dying world. Which........ is something I'd like to write about at some point because it's intriguing in its own way but at the time I was unequipped to write about that when I really just wanted to write about people who are, for all intents and purposes, quite average getting caught up in the batshit drama of higher powers. (fun fact: Ciaran was supposed to be a tyrant king that ran a death cult and Anwei and Yixing were working together to figure out a way to kill him. Which is. Kind of what my dnd campaign is like now lol BASICALLY he's like if Big Boss was unkillable and could also rip souls out of people's bodies and eat them. I absolutely do not remember what this question originally was. Something about a song?)

Old Blood: THIS is the reason it took me so long to answer this whole thing. I thought long and hard and looked through all my playlists and listened to random songs that came to mind but it turns out the song I was looking for was right in front of me the whole time. DUH. It's “Golden Light” by Twin Shadow :) In my humble homo interpretation, I think it's a song about being afraid to fall in love and. Well. That's the whole point. Also #spoilers but the first time Vera sees Andhira and is like “oops I think I have feelings” is when they've just arrived at Andhira's home and the sun is rising and she looks over at her as they stand at the top of a hill and she has her eyes closed to the sun and she's bathed in golden light and OOUGGGGHGHHH poetic cinema. (honorable mention goes to “Groove is in the Heart” by Deee-lite because it’s quintessential early 90s music that Vera would be super into)

9. What does your protagonist want most? What would they do to achieve this? What is something they wouldn't do to achieve this?

White Crane: Yixing wants to be happy for once. Like actually really happy instead of just. getting by. There's a scene where they're making wishes for the next seasons during the summer solstice and someone asks what he wants and he's like “uh I guess I want to still be alive at the end of the year?” and the other person is like “isn't that what everyone wants? Raise the fucking bar please. What do you REALLY want?” and he's stands there for a really long time and thinks about it before finally saying “I think I just want to be happy for once” and everyone else is like. wow. Way to kill the fucking mood dude. Anyway. He has had fleeting moments of happiness in his life but wants nothing more than to feel that way forever. It's kind of hard to say what he wouldn't do for that because like. there's not really much you CAN do in the first place, so I feel like there's even less you couldn't do. I guess he wouldn't like sell his soul to the devil or something lmao (though by being involved with Ciaran he's pretty much halfway there)

Old Blood: to be left alone. Vera just wants a normal life. She really truly does want to pretend that none of the horrible shit happened to her and that she was never a world-famous hunter. And she wants to teach art classes and live a quiet life!!! I mean, she is already mostly doing that exact thing when we first meet her, but obviously she has some hindrances (aka fucked up blood nightmares). She is begrudgingly helping Andhira because she assumes that will fix her problem and that she'll be able to get to that quiet living as soon as all is said and done. The only thing she really wouldn't do to get what she wants is like... live somewhere far away from Josef and Luka lol She likes having them close by more than she wants to be left alone.

10. Within your story's world, were there any events that impacted every character (or most characters)? How would they be different if this event never happened? (Alternatively, erase an important even from on character's backstory and imagine where they'd be now.)

White Crane: well. If the stupid old gods didn't all kill themselves and almost end the world then I guess none of this story would exist lol But the actual answer is like. If Yixing had never run out on his girlfriend of ten years then he wouldn't have moved across the continent to Jengmi and wouldn't have made a name for himself way out there and wouldn't have been scouted and recruited and wouldn't have met Ciaran or Anwei and wouldn't have gotten in the middle of the batshit grudge between a bunch of ancient petty gay people and wouldn't have DIED and wouldn't have made one of the ancient petty gay people in particular lose his grip on his humanity via a lust for power in a desperate attempt to guarantee his safety and wouldn't have been the reason that tens of thousands of people die in his name and wouldn't have accidentally set off a chain of events that resulted in him having to hunt down and kill the Actual God that started it all in a fit of jealous rage. So like. maybe he should have just gone through with the wedding. All things considered, his life would have been way less stressful.

Old Blood: uhhh, that's tough because the stuff that happens only really has any effect on the mortal characters (I mean yeah people still try to kill the Sovereign but they're too dumb to know the ACTUAL way to kill him.... haha unless??), so it would be more like a what if Vera didn't witness the violent deaths of both her apprentice and her lover and have a full blown nervous breakdown and abandon her career? Well...... I think most things in the plot would transpire more or less the same, except she would be WAY less pissed off about it. In fact, she would probably be hyped as hell to get the chance to make the acquaintance of the Sovereign's family like Josef had before her. The thought of Vera being upbeat and not a sleep-deprived asshole that hates being dragged back to her old life..... ew. Not that I enjoy her suffering but you know what I mean. It just wouldn't be the same.

11. What is something from your wip that you just really want to ramble about?

Are you sure you're ready for this. This is going to be so so so so long I'm sorry in advance. It's Saturday night and I'm alone and kind of sad so I'm just going to let loose.

As I hone down plot elements for next two installments in my little trilogy, I have kind of become obsessed with the passage of time and how different it must feel to someone that, well, lives forever. One of the ways I'd written (that has since been kind of changed) for Yixing to start to figure out what Ciaran really is was that he would casually be looking through his bookshelf and find an old photograph of Ciaran, Anwei, and their mom standing backstage together after one of his performances. And when he eventually asks Ciaran about it, he gets upset because how dare you touch the one thing I have left to remember my mother? To remember what my life used to be like? There are so many names and faces and places and foods and sensations that I've forgotten in the 940 years I've lived like this and I would give anything I have to see any of it just one more time because I didn't know that the last time I would ever speak to my mom we would have an argument on the phone about how I need to go to the temple and pray for good fortune on my birthday, or that the last time I would ever see my best friend would be at 6am when we both came into the studio to practice and he asked me to go out to breakfast and I said no because I thought a nap would be more important. And there are so many people that I've watched die whose names I never learned and whose faces I forgot the moment I turned away, and there are so many others that I loved so dearly that I had to leave behind because they grew old and I didn't. And I have lived lifetimes in solitude to keep myself a secret from other people and I have died more than any person should ever have to die and I have witnessed atrocities no one should ever witness and I hate everything about this life so much but I love everything about this life so much and I wouldn’t trade it for anything but I think I would give it all away in an instant if only to remember the scent of my mother's favorite perfume and I think I would give it all away in an instant if it meant I didn't have to watch you turn to dust in my arms.

ANYWAY. I think a lot about the agony of loving things that aren't permanent and how it really DOES drive you mad because lately I have been unbelievably nostalgic for certain things that weren't even that long ago but..... I didn't appreciate them at the time and I feel so guilty about it. (And like. I too would give up my entire life to be able to remember the scent of my grandmother's favorite perfume.) And all my pent-up sadness is for things that only happened in my childhood. I have pictures and videos and other people to share those memories with, but what does it feel like to be one of very few people that watched the entire world fall apart and rebuild itself and have nothing to hold onto from that time? What does it feel like to foster dozens of generations of children and outlive every single one of them? What does it feel like to have only fragments of memories of entire lifetimes? How lonely is it? I mean, Ciaran and Anwei have each other and that makes a difference but it still has to be the most isolating feeling. And then there's the pain that comes with memories that have faded or otherwise become hazy. I doubt either of them remember their father's face. They hadn't seen him in years even before it all happened. If it wasn't for that single photo he has, they wouldn't remember their mother's face either. Do they still remember her name? Or her birthday? Do they remember anyone else? Cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, friends, coworkers? If they do, do they even want to talk about it? One thing I worry about in my own life (and this is how I know I have Problems) is that I'm so afraid that talking about memories will alter them somehow. There are so many things that I don't even like to share because once the words are spoken the little vhs tape that has all my memories has been recorded over, even if it's just by a single frame. Something about it has been changed forever each time I talk about it. Do they feel the same way and keep things to themselves instead of sharing the sadness? I think maybe they used to talk about the “old days” or whatever much more often back in the past, but as the years went by.... they just learned to keep it to themselves.

I think maybe I have a lot of anxiety about the passage of time and of being forgotten!

Anyway again. The passage of time drives me insane. And I think it would make me even more insane if I had been chosen to carry the mantle of a dead god and would live forever. My dog died a year ago and I still cry like every single day thinking about her. If I was doomed to live forever I don't know how the sadness wouldn't swallow me whole! No wonder all the people in this book are fucking CRAZY!!

And don't even get me started on the Sovereign lol he's like “oh boo-hoo you've lived for not even a thousand years? Bitch they hadn't invented fucking GLASS yet when I was born. The horse wasn't domesticated yet. Cry harder!!”

#oc talk #4000 words later!!!!!#uh i hope this makes ANY sense at all lol #i wrote the responses to all of these at like 1am last night and the night before so. you'll have to forgive me if they're stupid

thank u sm to @bente-gifs for tagging me to do this!!

favourite colour: yellow !! growing up i think my favourite colour was red but honestly yellow just has… the best vibes. it’s so warm and welcoming and maybe it’s bc i wish i was the Sunshine character archetype but also it’s the prettiest colour imo

currently reading: the lost hero by rick riordan i started rereading pjo mainly bc of gigi !! struggling a bit w the lost hero mainly bc i rlly do not like j*son however leo’s pov makes it worth it <3 i just read the chapter where leo finds festus and hopefully i can read some more tonight !!

five songs i’m listening to: i took these from my on repeat so they’re actually accurate hfjdks

enough for you / olivia rodrigo i think i had this on repeat for a solid five hours the other day just to hurt myself but honestly it’s such a good song… like yes it does make me cry every time i hear it bc it’s like every insecurity i’ve ever had wrapped into a neat little package but also it’s so good idc

this is home / cavetown ngl i started listening to this song more bc i realised it has lots of wolfstar vibes to it was p much on repeat whilst i was writing a wolfstar fic the other day, however it’s !! so !! good idc i’m a this is home stan now

everybody talks / neon trees ok this song (along w turbulent by waterparks and backseat serenade by all time low) was pretty much one of the only things i listened to during the summer of 2019 and i’ve barely listened to it for about a year but… lowkey it’s still a banger idk

will they won’t they / jeremy shada i watched julie and the phantoms and decided that reggie’s a really neat guy idk what to tell you

last film: thor ragnarok i got around to watching the 2nd ep of loki last night and then decided that i needed more loki content so… thor ragnarok was a perfect choice. ngl i paid little to no attention to it and i fell asleep before it finished, so tbh my actual last film was probably raya and the last dragon which i’ve watched 5x this week and rewatched w gigi last night but !! yes

last tv show: loki or charmed idk if loki should count bc i obviously only watched the one episode last night whereas i binged the entire first season of charmed over the past few days in between moving bedrooms around so yes (the original charmed tho not the remake)

Forever || Alucard (Castlevania)/Reader

This is Part 2 of “Always”! Part 1 is here. I have a third part in my WIPs, so expect it soon. It’s going to be in a veeery different setting tho. (Honestly? At this point I’m expecting “Always” to become a full-fledged fic)

Pairing: Alucard/Reader

Warnings: angst, lots of angst

AO3 link

Before Alucard had the chance to properly start making dinner, he heard a crash. He turned around quickly and felt his heart stop for a moment. You were laying on the floor, holding onto your chest. He rushed to you faster than he thought he could move, stretching his arm out to touch you, help you up, but he didn’t know what he should do first.

“What is it? What happened?” he asked, looking you over. Alucard was more than painfully aware of how little time you had left. A part of him screamed to turn you, to forever keep you by his side, but he couldn’t bring himself to do that. That would mean stripping you of your humanity. He would never see you smile on a sunny day again; he would be forced to feed you the blood of your people instead of your favorite meals. He couldn’t do that. He couldn’t rob you of the warmth of summer days. So he opted for watching you age and giving you the best last years he could.

“I don’t know. Funny how often I fall lately. I’m starting to fear I won’t live to see another day.” You laughed humorlessly and looked up at him. “Don’t look so sad, love. We both know that day will come eventually. In the meantime, do you mind helping me up?”

Alucard carefully grabbed you by the arms and sat you up. “Are you sure you can stand?”

“Yes, I feel a bit better now, thank you.” You got up slowly, leaning on Alucard’s shoulder. “I think I’m going to go lay down for a bit. I bet a little nap will fix me up right away.”

He frowned slightly; hadn’t you just woken up from a nap not that long ago? A strange, heavy feeling squeezed his chest. The same feeling that haunted him each time something bad was about to happen. He didn’t like it one bit.

“Do you need any help going to your room?”

“Oh, please. I know I’m old, but I can walk on my own. I’ll be just fine.”

Alucard sighed. “Still, I don’t feel comfortable letting you go alone right after you collapsed.” You shook your head and smiled fondly. “You really need to stop worrying about me so much. I’m fine, really. It was just a moment of pain, I’m sure it wasn’t anything serious.” Still, you took him by the hand and led him out of the kitchen.

—–

Your room was big. So big, that you would complain about it sometimes. There was too much space, what were you supposed to do with it? You spent very little time there anyway.

Right the opposite of the door stood your bed. And even now, you would insist on changing the covers yourself despite losing strenght — though that meant Alucard would be here, watching your every move just in case something happened.

Alucard walked you right to the edge of the bed and held your hand as you were sitting down. He sat beside you and watched as you tucked yourself in with that fond look in his eyes. It used to fluster you when you were younger, but now it just made you feel safe. It was nice knowing he still loved you, despite your body being old and withered. It made your chest warm every time you thought about it.

You furrowed your eyebrows when you noticed he wasn’t getting up. Or leaving. “What’s the matter? Aren’t you going to eat?”

Alucard shook his head and reached for the book that laid on your nightstand. “I’ll stay here for now.”

“You can’t just not eat, love. You may be a dhampir, but it’s still unhealthy.” You insisted. “How about that — I’ll take a quick nap and you’ll go make dinner. Then you can come back here, and we’ll eat together, alright?”

“You really are stubborn, aren’t you? You won’t stop until I’ve eaten, right?”

“You know me so well.” You patted him on the hand. “Now shoo, you ought to eat.”

Alucard was walking through the corridor with two steaming plates in his hands. He couldn’t help but notice that heavy feeling in his chest growing stronger. He was just worried because you’d collapsed earlier. That was normal, who wouldn’t be? Even though, he couldn’t help but walk faster.

“Dinner’s ready.” He said as he pushed open the door to your bedroom. “As I’ve said, I found the ingredients for your favorite, so…” He paused when he heard silence. No words but his, no movement… no breathing.

He dropped the plates as he rushed to your bed. He fell to his knees beside it and grabbed your hand. He pressed his fingers to your wrist. No pulse. He frantically leaned over you and checked your neck. Still, no pulse. That’s when panic finally set in. He pushed the covers out of the way and started to rhythmically press on your chest, just like his mother taught him to so many years ago. No matter that you were already starting to get cold and stiff. No matter that he just couldn’t get any reaction from you. No matter that some part of him already realized that you were gone. Forever. After what felt like nearly an hour, he finally stopped. His arms felt like they were on fire, but his chest hurt so much more. He felt like he couldn’t breathe. So what if the logical part of him knew this was a long time coming? It didn’t make the pain any lesser. Alucard collapsed on top of your body and let out a loud, heart-wrenching sob. Tears fell from his eyes freely as he held onto your cold hand. Gone, gone, gone. Just like everyone else. He should’ve turned you when he still had the chance. He should’ve, but he didn’t. And now his worst nightmare became reality.

—–

Alucard buried your body the next day, but he didn’t feel anything anymore. It was like the him from after the battle with his father was back again – and stronger than ever. As Alucard rhythmically moved his shovel, he tried to make himself feel something, anything, but his mind was empty. He knew that void — it was just the silence before the storm. He just had to wait until everything settled, and then his new reality would hit him. He was sure he would break apart, but that moment wasn’t now. Now he was burying the love of his life.

After he made sure your body was completely covered, he came back to the castle. He would have to make a tombstone for you tomorrow. But that was for tomorrow. He slowly walked to your room. Now was his last chance to fully take in the last pieces of your presence before it fully withered away and disappeared along with you. Alucard locked the door when he came in. He laughed a bitter laugh; as if there was anyone left to come in and disturb his mourning. He sat down in your chair and took in the entire room. Your closet, your desk, your bookshelf, your bed; everything was still the way you left it. He didn’t think he would ever find the strength in himself to clean everything up. If he didn’t, he could still pretend you would come back. He desperately wanted to believe that.

Then his eyes fell on the portrait he made you.

You were still young when he painted it. He would cringe while looking at it sometimes, insisting he could repaint it. He had got better with age after all. But you had denied every offer he made. You had loved that painting for some reason and hadn’t wanted to replace it no matter what he had said. And now, you were looking at him form that canvas with such warmth in your eyes.

That’s when he broke down for the second time.

He doubled over and clawed at his shirt. Everything was too much, he couldn’t go on anymore. He was alone. Everyone left him, even you. He felt like his heart had just been ripped out of his chest and stomped into the ground. So he cried harder than ever in his life. His sobs and heaved breaths were the only sound in the room; they echoed in the corridors of the castle.

It took a long time for Alucard to finally calm down enough to see properly. Occasional sobs still shook his body, but he didn’t have the strength to cry anymore. He stood up and walked over to your bed. He collapsed and grasped at your pillow. Your scent was the strongest here; he buried his nose in your blankets and hiccupped silently. As he calmed down, he felt a strange warmth, as if someone was hugging him tightly. A nice thought appeared — that you still were there somewhere, looking over him. He could only hope to join you someday, just like he hoped his father had joined his mother after death.

“I love you” he whispered, and he could’ve sworn that he heard a faint voice reply. He closed his eyes and let a few more tears roll down his face.

He slept a dreamless, restless sleep.
