What I imagine Charlotte wearing in the Shadows House AU.
Tumblr media
She'd be looking sharp with a suit coat and a nice long skirt. As I've said with previous black outfits, color would need to change to accommodate for Shadows being all black silhouettes. Blue and white with red accents for Charlotte definitely.

So, for those of you who don't know, Charlotte is my (current) favourite character. She's been one of my favourites since I started the series, but now she's in the top spot. Which means it's her turn to get put through torment in fic. Hey, that's just the price you pay for being the favourite.
Anyway, as those of you who are familiar with my writing probably know, I like pulling characters apart and figuring out what makes them tick so I can depict them falling apart in a more believeable way. For some characters it's fairly easy to figure out what the core of their motivation is (Asta wants to be acknowledged as worth something even though he lacks magic) others it's far harder (I still don't know what the fuck motivates Yami). I thought Charlotte would be a tricky one, until I was rereading the manga and came across this panel. (specifically the middle one)
Tumblr media
(official VIZ media translation; volume 12, chapter 104, page 72)
She's just been cursed. We don't exactly how old she is in this scene (I tend to put her at twelve, for a couple of reasons, but that doesn't change the fact that canon hasn't actually given us an answer), or even why she's been cursed, but the fact remains that she has just been cursed. And yet she is the one reassuring her parents. She is telling them not to worry. She's the one telling them that she'll fix this. And she's just a kid! She is canonically just a kid!
Tumblr media
(Official VIZ media translation, volume 18, chapter 169, page 130)
This is the start of Charlotte shouldering every burden she comes across. She has to do everything herself and if she can't she's not good enough (I know it's anime-only but her "I should be executed" line over being possessed against her will raises a lot of red flags for me). She also holds everyone else to these impossible standards, rejecting every suitor she meets immediately. If they can't keep up, they aren't good enough, and nobody can keep up. She's pushing herself harder and harder and harder because if she doesn't, if she doesn't give everything she has to break this curse then she definitely won't, and the curse activating its going to be her fault for not trying hard enough. She canonically calls herself pathetic and apologises when it inevitably activates. She sees this as a personal failing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(official VIZ media translation, volume 12, chapter 104, pages 73 & 74)
Never mind the fact that she is, at most, twelve years old when cursed. Which means that she's lived a minimum of six years with it hanging over her head. Sure, she keeps saying she's going to break it, but there has to be a part of her who is convinced that, when she turns eighteen, she's basically going to die.
On top of that, the fact that she's cursed is caonically common knowledge. We get all the townspeople outside screaming about it. This implies that a lot of people know she's cursed. Know she's different. And, well, you're here on Tumblr. I'm sure you know what happens to people who are different. They get socially isolated. That would explain her trouble talking to people about her feelings. And her issues with expressing herself.
So, we've got this girl, who is no more than twelve, is suddenly being shunned by all her peers for something she can't control, has decided to shoulder the entire burden of this curse (everyone else we see talking about it in the flashback says "curse on House Roselei" or something to that effect, Charlotte says "my curse"), keeps pushing herself to try and do what, as far as we can tell from canon, is impossible, and is convinced that if she can't pull off the impossible she's going to basically die on her eigthteenth birthday.
Oh, and all of this is happening around the age she's supposed to be figuring herself out.
The fact that she is a fully functioning adult is a goddamn miracle.
Looping back to my original point though, I think that, at the core of her character, Charlotte is someone who wants to believe that she's worth saving. And not because of her power, or her family name, or her looks. She's desperate for someone to look and see her and see someone worth saving. But she's bad at expressing herself and also scared that if she lets anyone in close they're just going to let her down like everyone else she thought would save her when she was cursed did, so she snaps and she snarls and she drives people away because if people are going to leave anyway (because of the curse) then it's easier to drive them off first, because at least that way she can pretend it's what she wanted rather than being abandoned again.

ok es comprensible no a todos les puede agradar, hablando de black clover tienes alguna idea para algún personajes, vanessa podria tener una rivalidad de alcohólica con qrow y roselei podria tener una amista con winter al tener ciertas actitudes similares, y dios quiero ver como haces
a meroleona.
Hmm, well if I were to do a Black Clover Crossover the most important thing would be if I used magic or not... After all each character's magic tends to have one common element/ denominator.
So they could easily be semblances excuse wise... Which leads into Asta. Anti-Aura while sounding stupid as hell would be OP. Or... What if instead he still has Anti-Magic.
Having Anti-Magic means he can break Salem's curse...
If I were to do it, Asta would be a Orphan from Ansel but with a wildly different upbringing since I can see him, Yuno and Jaune being friends. Asta is one of the few kids who actually wants to be his friend instead of getting close to his sisters. The irony being I can see a few of the sisters liking Asta.
Yuno would be aurically proficient, where Jaune would train with Asta. Since there are no Grimoires I can see Jaune giving one of his family heirlooms to his best friends to use. The mentality being the weapon were made to protect people not to be shown off and look pretty.
Hence this is how Asta would get his first sword, where's Yuno.
Now as for Vanessa, yeah her and Qrow would be drinking buddies, but also Yami. I can also see Yami being Qrows best friend, as the big guy to this day says his semblance doesn't matter.
If Qrow's luck puts him in a bad spot he'll just have to surpass his limits and find a way outta it.
Charlotte would probably be Atlesian and yes I can easily see her being a specialist alongside Nozel. Honestly I'd say House Silva would be relatives to the Schnee but nobody knows which was the ancestral family of the two.
Meroleona would be in Vacuo, and I can see her hunting Raven in her spare time for a good fight. She would definitely figure out said woman's a Maiden but not give a damn and wanna fight her anyways

Clover High
The young boy stared at the wide doors of the huge building that was the most prestigious high school in the country. With it being in a reformed ancient Royal Castle, it had tall, wooden doors, carefully taken care of gardens and an amazingly magical feeling to it. The high school founder's statue stood tall and proud in the front yard, right in the middle of a fountain surrounded by beautifully trimmed bushes and trees in front of the institution's giant doors.
Asta Hage had tried his best to enter the expensive, prestigious, institution that was Clover High. Luckily for him, the way to be accepted into the school was by an interview. An interview where the only valued trait was an eccentric personality. Asta's grey blonde hair swayed in the wind; his green eyes stared at the Castle in awe, ready to enter it, and like that, enter this new part of his life.
The teen had read a lot about the place after he received his acceptance letter, and had found out the most curious things.
The Clover High Castle (also known as the LSET or Lumiere's School for Exepcional Teens) was divided into nine different Wings that the students were sorted according to notes taken by the headmaster in the interview.
The most prestigious one, the Golden Dawn was located in the Castle's newly founded central dome, the Dome of Revenge, although not the highest spot in all the castle. That place was reserved for the Silver Eagles, in one of the West Wings was located the Silva Tower, founded by Orel Silva.
In the Southwestern Wing of the castle were the two polar opposites: the Lion's Den, the Crimson Lion Kings' territory, a Wing that mostly constituted men and was founded by Shīzi Vermillion; and the Blue Roses right under them in the Rose Hortus, a newly created House formed only by young women, founded by Charlotte Roselei.
It was an understatement to say that the Lion Kings were royally pissed with the Roses; their wing was also part of their territory before.
The Azure Deer's Wodi Forest, previously known as the Grey Deer, founded by Ada Borealis, was located in the Southern Wing. The current Headmaster, Julius Novachrono, was their previous Wing Chief.
The Purple Orcas also had an importantly big Wing of the castle; the Northern Wing, also known as the Cave of the Killer Whale. Founded by Koholā Wai, they apparently were a huge group of strategic students.
The smallest Wing apparently was the Southeastern one, the one the Green Mantis' called home. Or the Floresta de Flacas. Asta had read that their Wing Chief and founder, Jack the Ripper, was obsessed with knives and cuts, hence his nickname, and the Wing's name.
Aígli Siatas was the late founder of the Coral Peacock's Eastern Wing, also known as the Ypnodomátio. They were referred to as "the Glam Witches", as their Chief was constantly in her own world, repeating the word "Glamour" in a disturbing tone.
Finally, the Black Bulls. They were the ones that attracted Asta's attention the most. They were located in the most Western Wing of the glamorous Castle, what had probably been an old, but big, stable. The Founder and Wing Chief, Yami Sukehiro, was a mysterious man who arose many questions from many, and had called his Wing the "Osuushi no kakurega".
Asta made out which Wing was which thanks to the colours the walls were painted in and the flags hanging out from some windows. As more people started to arrive, the boy snapped out of his haze, and stepped foot for the first time into the place that would determine who he would be in this life.

Loyal, Brave and True by Christina Aguilera is a Charlotte song
I like this a lot. It does take into account Charlotte's decision to rid of her own curse by her own strength, but it also being something that fell onto the House of Roselei (for what reason, is yet to be revealed).
And I like the idea/symbolism behind looking past Charlotte's armour. Because while she does wear a physical, concrete, armour, there is also an armour in the way she portrays herself to the world. So, underneath all of that, she does have her doubts and weaknesses, but she also recognizes that "winning" isn't necessarily easy or difficult, but it does take bravery. And being brave is usually the hard part, because if you never felt fear, then you couldn't be brave. Because bravery is about doing the right thing, despite being afraid.
Yeah, I like this a lot for Char

Children of the Future:
Chapter 30: Grief

It’s mainly on Hikari’s grief but there is a Yamichar moment in the beginning, also Leon is @thoughtfullyrainynightmare ‘s OC child so he belongs to her and thank you for letting me borrow him! I hope you all enjoy 🥰!
Taglist: @eme-eleff @elysianluv @crazyclownthanos @flow3rbudz @simpingforthisonedeer @luminouslion @bowandcurtsey (if anyone else wants to be tagged please let me know!)
Word Count: 3,776
Warnings: Angst, Grief.
———
Silence.
That’s what greeted the group when they returned from the future. At first everyone was excited, happy, and curious to find out what the future looked like and if they discovered how to fix it. But once they saw the looks on their faces, and saw Yami carrying something in his dark magic sphere, they knew something had happened. When they noticed that Alistar wasn’t among the group they all knew what had happened.
Silence.
That’s what followed the entire group as they left the basement. Charlotte had quietly told the others that she would tell them about what happened later, but for now they would take Alistar’s body to Owen and the other kids back to the Temporary House. Julius didn’t argue, and so Hikari, William, Yami, and Charlotte took Alistar down to Owen as the others took Kya and went back to the house.
Silence.
Followed the group to Owen’s office. When Owen greeted them he explained that he was informed of everything already by Julius so there was no need to worry. Hikari stood there and just watched as Owen took Alistar’s body, Charlotte placed a hand on her shoulder and tried to tell her they needed to go. But Hikari refused. She muttered how she couldn’t leave him alone, that she promised to always stay by his side. Charlotte and Yami just looked at each other, as Charlotte went to try and convince William to leave, Yami would try his hand at convincing Hikari.
He placed a hand on his ‘daughters’ head and told her they needed to go, but she still refused to move. He told her that she needed to get some rest, that Alistar would be worried and upset if she stayed out here all night just because of him. Finally, after much coaxing, Yami was finally able to convince Hikari to leave, just as Charlotte had convinced William.
When the group returned to the house they were greeted with more silence. Everyone just sat there, some looked at them with sad and sympathetic looks, and others stared at the ground. Hikari just walked numbly to her room and shut the door behind her.
That’s where she remained for the next few days.
———
No one really knew what to do. Alistar was gone, Hikari and William were grieving, and, while they knew of one devil, there was apparently another whose identity was still a mystery to them. It was one step forward and two steps back.
Charlotte walked down the hall towards Hikari’s room, she had tried to talk to her the past few days, as did Yami, but she never answered the door. Instead they were only greeted with silence. Charlotte had been putting food outside her door, but it remained untouched except for a few pieces of bread.
“ Hikari, are you awake?” Charlotte asked as she gently knocked on the door. There was no answer. Charlotte knocked again, but still nothing. Finally, the blonde haired mage let out a sigh before turning around and walking away, she would have Yami try later.
As she walked into the common area she heard the others talking in hushed voices, she frowned a bit, it seemed like the ‘parents’ had grown closer to their ‘children’ while they were gone. It had only been a couple of hours that day, but still.
“ So what’d we do now?” Zora asked Gauche softly, Gauche sighed as he held Maelie, who was fast asleep, in his arms.
“ I dunno. The one person who seemed to have all the answers is dead, and two of our strongest are down right now, so all we have is Captain Yami and Captain Roselei and they’re just as in the dark as the rest of us.” Gauche muttered thoughtfully. “ I think we’ll just have to wait and see.”
“ That’s all we’ve been doing though?” Nebra pipped up from across the room. “ We’ve been sitting here twiddling our thumbs and waiting, so how much longer do we have to wait?”
“ Finally you and I agree on something.” Josslyn muttered from the corner of the room, she had been awfully quiet the past few days, Charlotte wondered if the pink haired girl had been feeling guilty for how she treated Alistar while he was alive, and if she was trying to figure out how she could comfort her friend.
“ We’ll all discuss this matter later, but for now I think we can all take a bit to grieve.” Charlotte suddenly announced, causing everyone in the room to jump. “ Neva and Yuno have been trying to talk to William just as I and Yami have been trying to talk to Hikari. But you can’t just expect them to brush the dust off and get back to the task at hand, especially after they lost a friend and child.” Charlotte added, the group all looked down in guilt. They didn’t know what they would do if they had lost one of their friends or children like Hikari and William.
Charlotte quickly walked away and towards the balcony where Yami had been sitting. She looked out the door and saw him sitting on the railing, smoking what she assumed was his fifth cigarette of the day. Ever since they got back she noticed he had been smoking more and more, which she took as a sign that he was beyond stressed out.
“ You just gonna sit there and stare?” Yami asked as he put his cigarette out, Charlotte chuckled.
“ I mean, it is a nice view.” Charlotte said playfully before her eyes widened ‘Did I actually just say that?!’ She thought in horror, but Yami chuckled a bit, although she thought she saw a hint of pink on his cheeks.
“ It is.” He said in agreement as he turned around to look at her with a soft smile, the smile that made the blonde haired woman’s heart skip a beat. She felt a blush creep onto her cheeks as she walked over to him and leaned on the railing.
“ Did Hikari answer the door?” Yami asked, when Charlotte shook her head Yami sighed. “ I’ll try to talk to her later.”
“ How long do you think she and William will stay in their rooms?” Charlotte asked softly, Yami shrugged as he looked at his pack of cigarettes.
“ I dunno. If it were me, I don’t think I’d be any different from them.” He muttered softly, Charlotte nodded in agreement. They would both probably be in just as bad of shape as them.
“ I shouldn’t have distrusted him,” Yami muttered after a few minutes of silence Charlotte frowned as she turned to fully look at him.
“ We didn’t know this would happen, and Alistar had been acting strangely. I don’t think you did anything wrong.” Charlotte defended before letting out a soft sigh. “ If anyone was wrong it was me, I should have trusted him more, but instead I was scared he was going to be like William and Patolli and betray us.”
“ Let’s just say we were both wrong then. That way we can equally take the blame.” Yami suggested as he pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a drag.
The two fell into silence again and this time Charlotte stared at him, the image of him being battered and bruised in their fight with Botis was a lot like when she had found him when they were battling Spade. She had promised herself that she would protect him and keep him safe, but she failed, again. Before she could stop herself her hand reached out and gently touched his shoulder where Botis had slashed it, she felt Yami tense up but then relax before turning to look at her.
“ How is your shoulder?” She asked softly, her eyes full of worry, Yami turned away and rubbed his head nervously.
“ It’s all healed up thanks to Vangeance and Owen.” Yami said softly, he noticed the Prickly Princess still didn’t seem convinced. He sighed, he hated making her worried, it always pulled at something in his chest. He gently placed his hand on top of hers and gave it a gentle squeeze.
“ It’s fine, Prickly Princess, I promise.” Yami told her softly.
The two then stared at each other, both their faces slightly pink. They stood there, holding each other's hand, and just looking at each other. Charlotte swore her heart was beating so loudly that even Yami could hear it, and she felt it slowly get louder and beat more rapidly as it appeared his face was inching closer and closer to hers.
‘W-What is Yami doing? Is he going to k-kiss me?! No, no we have more important things to worry about right now! Wait, why am I closing my eyes? C-Charlotte snap out of it!’ She mentally shouted at herself but it was no use, her eyes had already completely closed.
But she never felt Yami kiss her.
She frowned and opened her eyes to see the dark haired man staring out over the balcony.
“ Someone’s coming.” He muttered and Charlotte turned to look and did, in fact, see someone coming. It was hard to make out but it appeared to be a young man on a broom. She quickly followed Yami off the balcony and towards the front door.
——
Yami and Charlotte walked down the hall and reached the common area just in time to see Gauche open the front door.
“ Uh, Captain? I think we have a problem.” Gauche said as he turned to his Captain, Yami walked over and was met with a young vermillion haired man.
“ Ah crap here we go again.” Yami muttered, he was half tempted to slam the door in the kids face, he was not going through this again! He was done with future kids just popping up here, there, and everywhere! The young man held up a hand.
“ Don’t worry I’m not here for your guys mission,” Leon Vermillion said kindly, even without the kid introducing himself everyone could see he was a Vermillion, Fuegoleon Vermillion’s to be exact.
“ Leon?” Everyone suddenly turned to see Hikari standing there, her face pale and her eyes puffy, you could tell she wasn’t sleeping or eating like she should, and it broke Yami and Charlotte’s hearts just looking at her.
“ Hikari,” Leon said softly as he entered the house. He gave everyone a courteous nod before walking towards the dark haired girl. “ I was actually here to see you.” He added as he turned back to the others.
“ Can we talk privately for a moment?” He asked her, Hikari nodded and began to walk back towards her room, Leon nodded towards everyone again before following behind her. Yami went to follow the two but Charlotte grabbed his arm.
“ Give them a minute.” She muttered, Yami sighed but nodded, maybe this kid could get through to Hikari since it didn’t seem anyone else could.
Leon gently closed the door behind Hikari, as he looked around her small room he could see she hadn’t left it for a while. It was completely dark as she had the shades drawn, he walked over to them and yanked them open, blinding Hikari in the process.
“ A little warning next time.” She muttered as Leon opened the window to let in some fresh air, he turned to look at her as he crossed his arms.
“ I…heard about Alistar, I’m sorry Hikari.” He muttered, Hikari could see the sadness in his eyes, he and Alistar were good friends as well, and she could imagine how shocking the news was to him.
“ I don’t know what he was thinking, going off alone like that.” Hikari muttered as she walked over to stand next to the window, Leon let out a sigh.
“ He was probably thinking he could handle it by himself,” Leon said thoughtfully. “ and that if he lost control again it would be better if you weren’t involved.” He added but Hikari shook her head.
“ No. He underestimated the enemy and was reckless, so it got him killed.” She muttered, Leon frowned, Hikari wasn’t one to usually talk like this, especially about Alistar.
“ You’re angry.” Leon said firmly with a small nod, Hikari glared at him.
“ Yeah I’m angry,” Hikari muttered with a humorless laugh. “ I told him that it was a stupid idea to split up, but he didn’t listen. He never listens.” Leon tilted his head a bit.
“ Are you sure it’s just because of that that you’re angry?” He asked curiously. “ You and Alistar always promised each other that you would come back safely, right? And you called each other your ‘bodyguards’ and bodyguards are meant to protect their charges. So are you sure you’re not just angry that he failed to keep his promises, and you failed to keep yours?” Leon watched as the dark haired girl turned fully to face him, her eyes angry. He had hit the nail on the head it seemed.
“ Get out.” She growled. “ Now.” Leon held his hands up in defense.
“ I was just-.”
“ GET OUT!” She roared, Leon could see angry tears welling up in her eyes and he began to back away. This was one of the few times he had ever seen her this angry, and in a small way this is what he was hoping for, he wasn’t intentionally trying to provoke her or anything like that. But he was trying to help her work through her emotions and help her with her grieving.
“ Y’know, I’m angry that he died too,” Leon started as he stood in the doorway. “ Ever since I heard the news I keep thinking ‘what if I had been there to help?’ or ‘why was that Pretty Boy so reckless?’ but I think I understand why he did it. Because he thought he was protecting everyone, and that if he could handle something like that on his own it would regain everyone’s trust. So you can be mad and angry at him, but just know he had the best of intentions as he always did.” He turned to walk away before adding.
“ And Alistar wouldn’t want you to be like this, locked away in this dark room all by yourself, he would want you to be surrounded by your friends and loved ones, to keep moving forward with the mission, to move on with your life, and to be happy. Seeing you so defeated like this? I think it would hurt his feelings, don’t you?” He asked before turning and walking out of the room, Hikari just glared at the vermillion haired man's back before walking towards her bed and flopping down onto her bed.
Leon’s words had struck a nerve, and she suddenly began to feel guilty. She felt guilty about shouting at him when he only had her best interests, and she felt guilty for staying in her room. He was right, Alistar would be sad that she decided to stay in her room, but what did his opinion matter anymore?
He was dead.
——
A few minutes passed and Hikari just stared out her door, she couldn’t be bothered to get up and close it. But across the hall sat Alistar’s room. He had moved farther down the hall since the younger kids all wanted to bunk together, so he traded rooms with one of the other kids. She stared at the door. He had kept his room locked up pretty much since they arrived and didn’t allow anyone in there, not even her.
She suddenly got up and walked towards it, she wasn’t usually one to take her anger out on things, but for some reason she just felt compelled to go in there and mess up his things. He was a very organized person, and she knew that would make him angry.
He made her angry by dying, so now she was going to make him angry by messing up his room.
It didn’t make sense Hikari knew, but right now the entire world didn’t make sense to her. Alistar was gone, her family was gone, they were no closer to figuring this whole mess out. Nothing made sense.
She turned the door knob and heard it ‘click’ before she pushed it open. As she walked in the room looked just how she expected it too; neat and tidy. Save for the desk that was against the wall, she nearly laughed, his desk was always a mess. No matter how clean the room, his desk would always be a mess.
She walked over to his book shelf, she began to pull books out and throw them around or drop them onto the floor. She began to move his potted plants to different areas. Finally she came to his desk and, as she reached out to throw the papers to the ground she froze.
On top of the desk, in a small vase sat a Spider Lily, the one his mother had given him the day he met her. When Hikari had knocked Alistar out that day he had accidentally dropped it when Yami picked him up, so she had quickly grabbed it and set it down on his nightstand before she and her ‘father’ had talked. She frowned when she saw a small note leaned up against it, she grabbed it and opened it.
‘Give to Hikari once we get back home.’
Hikari frowned, he…was planning on giving this to her? But why? She figured it would be something that Alistar would want to keep since his mother gave it to him.
She looked down at the rest of his desk, two books sat on top of all the papers. One was ‘The Language of Flowers’ , the only thing he had of his mothers, and the other was a journal she had never seen before. She opened it and flipped through the pages, each one was written after he had arrived and was recounting all those days' events and his thoughts on them. Hikari paused when she came to his last entry.
‘Today’s the day, we’re finally going back home to try and confront the person that is trying to take over the entire continent. The Witch Queen will decide who will stay in the past and who will go to the future since she is able to tell which of us has gotten stronger the past few weeks.
But I have a bad feeling about this, I usually try not to think of what can possibly happen during a mission, especially since any number of things can happen. But this time that’s all I can think about, what if my father’s past self dies during the battle? Then I would cease to exist, or what if one of Hikari’s parents…?
No! I can’t think about that…a world without Hikari...nonono I won’t even entertain that possibility! Hikari will survive this battle, I'll make sure of it even if it costs me my life. I’m her bodyguard, I’m going to keep her safe!
But after what the Witch Queen said during our first meeting, that not all of us would make it out of this alive, I can't help but feel like that’s very possible. The Witch Queen can see the future of course.
I’m going to do my best to try and keep everyone safe, but...I’m not sure if I’m strong enough to do that. Especially not after what happened during the versus battles.
Hikari, if by some chance you find this journal and read this page. I need you to know that you’re my best friend and that I love you. I’ve loved you since we were 15 years old. Actually, if I’m being honest, I’ve probably loved you since the day it rained, but I didn’t admit it to myself until I was 15.
I’m sorry I never had the courage to tell you this, I let the fear of you not feeling the same way as me get in the way of actually confessing and finding out. I shouldn’t have been such a chicken haha, but maybe when all of this is over I’ll finally be able to tell you how I really feel.’
Hikari felt tears stream down her face and land on the pages of the journal with loud ‘thumps’. He…loved her? All this time, he’s loved her? She felt her heart clench so tightly in her chest that she actually had to grab her shirt. Why…why?
She heard someone come softly into the room but didn’t turn, instead she continued to sob in her chair. She only turned when she felt them place a hand on her shoulder, it was Yami.
Hikari began to cry harder at the sight of her ‘father’. He gently pulled her up out of the chair by her arm and pulled her into a hug. He wasn’t the best at comforting people, but right now he would try his damndest for his ‘daughter’.
“ I’m so angry at him dad!” Hikari cried, she hadn’t noticed she had called Yami ‘dad’ and frankly didn’t care. “ He promised me that he would come back safe and sound like he always did, he promised! He said he loved me in his journal, if he loved me he should have kept that promise and came back!” She added as she suddenly gripped her fathers shirt in her hands, much like she did when she was a child.
“ So why did he go and die before he could tell me huh?! Why couldn’t he have been brave enough to tell me before we left…why wasn’t I brave enough to tell him that I loved him first?” Hikari finished weakly, she hadn’t realized it until just now, but she really had loved him as more than just a friend, like her mother teased her both here in the past and in the future.
Yami just held Hikari in his arms as she muttered sentences incoherently. On the one hand he wanted to drag Alistar out from the afterlife just so that he could kill him again, but on the other he knew it would only make Hikari hurt more.
Leon had told them before he left that he had partially-intentionally made her angry, but that it was to try and get her to start healing. Grief was an ugly thing, it messed with you and could make the strongest person in the world break. Yami watched as it seemed like his ‘daughter’ was going through all five stages of grief at once and he just held her, there were no comforting words he could give her, all he could say was:
“ It’s going to be okay. We’ll fix this. I promise.”

delphi thinks of lotus whomalt as a father figure and lotus thinks it's very very sweet. he's only nineteen and his dad is busy sucking spade's collective dick so lotus can be a father figure it's okay.
mallow was really proud of their grimoire, even if it only has three pages. it's proof that they survived everything and their magic didn't eat them like they thought it would
🧡-childhood/backstory
growing up in diamond SUCKS. growing up in diamond with a spade supporter father SUCKS. growing up in diamond with a mother who's very, very absentee (and also from spade) SUCKS. mallow generally was always a weird fucking kid even before the magic alterations thank you morris you shit. they were not a big talker and liked to play with their toys instead of the many, many other kids around. diamond schools inspire a lot of patriotism, so they disagreed with their parents on the spade thing a lot. delphi's born when they're eight and then oh! mallow finally has made a connection with something that's not an intangible concept! they love their baby brother and want to protect him. so that's why when the diamond (spade) scientists start testing on improving attributes for combat, mallow agrees to go (their dad signed them up, they wouldn't have had a choice anyways). altered magic thank you morris you shit, they get a grimoire, get released onto the battlefield and then charlotte kills them rip.
delphi grew up with mallow's shadow hanging over them bc mallow tried to fight charlotte fucking roselei and then actually went and did it. also they racked up quite a body count. it's a lot of stress for a young child to be under. he's got issues about it and grows to lowkey resent them for running off and dying because it hurt their family even more. he signed up for the diamond military to get out of the house because his dad SUCKS and his mom is plotting to run back home to spade (she was a war bride but no one knows that). he got his grimoire and DIPPED asap and got taken into lotus whomalt's little squad. yes, he did get his ass kicked by luck, but that's okay he's fine. he is a way more social person once he gets over the anxiety he has over talking to people.
🖤-angst
they didn't actually know each other all that well. they're like. 8 years apart (19 to mallow's projected 27 if they'd survived) and when mallow died (age 17) delphi was nine. for the rest of his life mallow's been hanging over him as a ghost and something to live up to. mallow cared a lot for him and agreed to testing to protect diamond and by extension delphi, but that just made it so for most of delphi's formative years mallow just wasn't around. and then they died.
delphi has a few memories of them, but they're pretty faded. he's pretty sure their eyes weren't always pink.

Can I request Rill for your headcanon game, please?
Hi anon! Thank you so much for your ask, and for asking about Rill! He is such a criminally underrated character but, honestly, one of my favourites in the series! I really hope you will like the headcanons I have come up with for him. 💕 Headcanons are below the cut!
(Warnings: Mentions pre-canon character death and grief)
Questions from this 4 Headcanons Ask Game
Headcanon A:  realistic
Rill's father was a magic knight captain who he died in the line of duty when Rill was too young to possess any concrete memories of him, so Walter is really the only father figure Rill has ever known. Even though he is technically still his butler, Rill sees Walter as parental figure, and if he ever had children of his own one day, Rill would insist that Walter should be "Grandpa Walter" to his kids.
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
Rill is so (endearingly) dense that Charmy will literally have to transform in front of him before he will finally realise that it was, in fact, her who saved him in the shadow palace during the elf arc rather than some mysterious "food goddess." 😁
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
Rill's widowed mother, the Lady Boismortier, had a genuine affection for her late husband, so she took his untimely passing very hard which caused her to overly coddle and smother Rill when he was a child and effectively isolate him from other children, causing him to grow up very lonely (and, ultimately, leading to a lot of the issues he has in those flashbacks in the canon). Since Rill is all his mother has left in the world, he has always felt an intense pressure and obligation to make her proud which eventually manifested itself in his destructive, perfectionistic tendencies (i.e. related to his art in those flashbacks). His cheerful and playful demeanor and somewhat scatterbrained nonchalance is not completely disingenuous; however, it does mask Rill's deeply-rooted insecurities regarding his abilities and his intense fears about failing to live up to his full potential to the extent that most people (even the ones who know him really well) would never guess he is nearly so insecure.
Bonus: Rill is so insistent on always trying to lighten even the darkest and most serious of moods because his mother was so often sad and disheartened from her grief when he was young and it broke his heart to see her like that, especially when he was so helpless to do anything to help. Seeing his friends experiencing similar pain, sadness, or grief drudges those feelings up for him (and is very painful for him), so he will try to keep things light to the extent that he sometimes deals with a serious situation inappropriately.
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
Rill is distantly related to Charlotte because his mother was also from the House of Roselei. [There just aren't a lot of blondes in Black Clover okay? And Rill's mother is one of them so...I don't know...maybe(?) These unrealistic/non-canon compliant headcanons are difficult...🙈 Please take with a grain of salt]

Grace and Luck
Summary: Her life wasn't easy. Not once in her life. She overthought and yet didn't think things through. Genre: general, slight angst Word count: ~1000
..........
Carissa Voltia.
A commoner woman with Lightning Magic and bad coping mechanisms. From the day she was born, she had severe anxiety and it was what killed her.
In her youth, her parents told her to suppress her feelings. That she couldn’t rely on others. Everyone was desperate to make their own lives better so Carissa had to do the same. Nobles looked down on commoners and peasants were dangerously envious of them. She was taught to suppress her feelings, ignore the stress until it went away. But the anxiety never went away, not really. But Carissa pretended that it did.
Carissa grew up. Moved out. Tried to live her life. She became a waitress. She was complimented for being so exact with taking orders, for going above and beyond to please patrons. She had just been making sure that there was nothing someone could criticize her for. But even then, she felt like she could've been doing better. She always had to do better.
A handsome noble, the Head of House Roselei, took notice of Carissa one day. He made her feel seen and appreciated. He left the largest tip she'd received in her life. The Head of House Roselei began to visit more. Until he was in once a week for something, anything as small as a tart that he took an hour to finish off. She forgot about her parents’ warnings as she slowly let herself fall for him.
An affair. She freaked out because of course she was going to stress about the repercussions of sleeping with a married man. She left town to avoid a scandal.
Carissa found out she was pregnant. At first, she was afraid. She didn't want that. But while searching for a doctor willing to help her, her mind spiraled as she was afraid of some kind of karmic punishment for killing a child. It was hardly a child but still she feared. Maybe she could've given the child to their father so at least she didn't have to deal with it and the baby could've had a good life.
Carissa overthought and yet didn't think things through.
A son was born. Carissa didn't dare name him yet in case his father wanted him. She went to House Roselei to leave the baby boy. Lord Roselei confronted her at the door.
“No. My Charlotte is the only child I need. Don’t you dare think that I’m going to replace her because of some curse.”
Carissa hadn’t known about any curse. She just had poor timing.
Carissa took her son home. She sat with him a while, watching him smile and laugh innocently.
“My name means ‘grace’ but I don’t think I’ve been shown much in my life. But maybe you’ll be luckier than me. That’ll be your name: Luck.”
At first, life with Luck was tough but fulfilling. Carissa might’ve struggled with work and parenting, but Luck’s precious smile and carefree laugh brightened Carissa’s days. She was happy that he was happy. She told herself that she would never tire of Luck’s laughter.
But eventually, that turned into a lie. Carissa’s job became more demanding once Luck was in school. Her work assumed she could just work more hours now that her boy is in school and “didn’t need her as much.”
She came back from work tired and cranky and overwhelmed. And Luck bounced up to her with a wide grin and excitedly told her what he’d been up to.
Couldn’t Luck see that she was tired? Couldn’t he see that she needed a moment? Couldn’t he look at her and see she needed to be taken care of just like he did?
Carissa ignored it for the time being. Luck was so young. He couldn’t understand nor could he help her the way she needed. But time went on. Carissa managed her job but it still wasn’t easy. And when she came home, no matter how visibly exhausted or distressed, Luck had a smile.
Carissa grew to dislike Luck’s smile. It was so carefree. Like he didn’t care about his own mother. Like he didn’t care about anything. He didn’t get mad when she said she couldn’t cook dinner nor sad when she pushed him away so she could rest. It freaked Carissa out. Concerned her. Stressed her.
Until she snapped at Luck and that ever present smile of his. She ended up spitting venomous words at Luck. At first she didn’t regret it because not even a slap made him react! But then she remembered how that smile comforted her years ago. She almost apologized. But she again thought of how things had changed. Only Luck’s smile had remained the same and that grated on Carissa.
Carissa overthought and yet didn't think things through.
When Luck’s true strength became known, Carissa was proud that her boy was strong. But so afraid because who knew who might try to use his power.
So she told him that he only needed himself. And herself. Win for Mommy and no one else. They would be fine, just the two of them, mother and son. Carissa wanted Luck to avoid anything similar to what she experienced with Lord Roselei.
Carissa worked herself so hard. Taking more shifts at work to support Luck’s education. She taught Luck everything she could about their magic.
She started to dote on Luck much more than before. Carissa really was proud of his strength. Really did want the best for him. His smile became her light again, and she wanted to protect it. Even on the days when it felt like a mockery to her misery. She saw it as a sign of Luck's strength—how wrong she had been. But also, she needed him to know that they were the only ones each other had.
Carissa worked and worked. Worried and fretted over Luck’s well-being. Over how she’d treated him before. Sometimes she wondered if Luck would abandon her because she hurt him. Carissa wouldn’t have blamed Luck if he did. It would’ve made sense. But oh gods, did that thought send her spiraling some days. 
Her parents never contacted her since she moved out. Lord Roselei tossed her aside for the love of his family. So if Luck left her too…
So she did everything she possibly could to keep Luck close. To keep Luck as her son. To keep something.
The exhaustion and stress piled up and up and up until…
She collapsed. Nothing more to it.

thoughts on the julius is the 4th zogratis theory ( youtuber called broku made a vid on it )
OK, I ended up letting this sit in the inbox for a while but here's my 2 cents
It's pure bullshit for two main reasons:
1) Julius is not the 4th sibling because it doesn't make sense via his character arc/written character
And
2) We already know/can guess who the 4th Zogratis Sibling is
We know for a fact that the Zogratis sibs all have magic that is connected to the human body. Julius' time magic fits nowhere in that. It's likely that the 4th sibling has some form of mind/soul magic to complete that.
With Julius, we have canon evidence of him getting a clover grimoire and him living in Clover, which contradicts how he could be in 2 places at the same time. Not just that, but the thing about us not knowing a lot about the Novachrono house? Same goes with the Roselei, Legolant and Gravorka houses but nobody's pointing fingers there for some reason.
(Ie he was likely around 27 when the Spade Coup happened, and, if we think about it, he would have likely been even younger when we first see the Zogratis 4th sib).
Tumblr media
It also wouldn't make sense if Julius had managed to become a Grey Deer and the magic King when he wasn't in a register. We saw how they treated Nero with it, and as you can tell it would have been a lot worse back in the past. Pretty sure Clover has some unwritten "must be clover Nobility to apply for Wizard King position", since there haven't been any talks of a commoner/peasant Wizard king until Asta and Yuno crashed teh political party.
The mark on his forehead? The swallowtail magic tool is literally that.
Him having time magic which means he's devil contracted? literally doesnt need to be a zogratis for julius to be possessed by a devil, if he even was possessed and somehow managed to hide it for over 30 years (especially with Damnatio poking his nose everywhere)
All that, and the main thing that disproves this?
We already know who the 4th Zogratis sibling is.
It's Vergil Zogratis.
Dante's name is inspired by the Divine Comedy, where Dante Aligheri travels through hell.
Here's the thing, he doesn't travel alone. The one that takes him on the trip to Inferno, is Vergilius.
Vergil, who he looks up to and has encyclopedic knowledge of hell, who literally walks Dante through hell and explains everything to him. We LITERALLY see that his first pieces of dialogue is about Zenon being prime devil host material.
It's already kind of obvious that Vergil is dead (number 4 meaning death, he was already dying when Zenon was baby,) by the time of the coup. But the fact still stands that Vergil was undeniably the one to pull the Zogratis family into demonology.
Vergil likely was pushy for Zenon, prime subject, to become devil host and may have orchestrated Allen's death. All of the siblings obviously look up to Vergil. Zenon for being kindest to him, Vanica because he likely brought lots of strong people and power her way via devil contract and Dante by instilling his philosophy to him and letting him carry on his message.
Virgillius was a poet who wrote the Aenaeid and one who Dante Alighieri VERY much adored. Wouldn't be off for Dante to to look up to Vergil Zogratis if he was basically raised by him.
Another thing, we can guess that Vergil would be contracted to Astaroth, the time devil. Astaroth's main powers include knowledge of all that is time (Past, Present, Future) and has a foul breath that you needed an amulet for to repell.
Would it be a stretch that Vergil made a contract with Astaroth for Knowledge but the more he was told, the sicker he would get? I'm betting my left ass cheek on it.

Silence
Helloo my sunshine’s!!! so it’s either yamichar, or black clover week 2021 and i couldn’t really make up my mind so why not label this story as contribution to both :p
• • •
Something undeniable, something extraordinary, something that always managed her calm down.
People say that the blue sky would calm them down. This wasn’t in Charlotte’s case at all. It was the rain that calmed her down. Hearing raindrops fall from the sky before coming into touch with the ground always amused her in a way nobody could understand, well not nobody, Yami Sukihero was that somebody who would understand why the rain would always calm Charlotte down.
A few months after Hikari’s birth Charlotte hadn’t been sleeping for days, it was all an emotional rollercoaster for her, nonetheless she was grateful towards her squad, and Yami’s for being so considerate and offering their help.
the memories came all flushing back. The elf invasion. The Spade war. Traveling to his home country felt like it all happened not so long ago.
“Charlotte?”
She hadn’t notice her husband tapping her on the shoulder for the past few minutes. Holding her leg up as she sit comfortably in her short night dress and, he only suited a robe while a cigarette continued to sit in his mouth.
“Dear what did I say smoking about in the house?”
“Y’know haven’t been smoking since you pushed Hikari out, you have to give me kudos for that.”
He placed the tea tray on the coffee table prior to him stretching his arms out in the meantime wrapping an arm around his wife and pulling her in for kiss, to which she gladly replied with a press of her own.
“Your lucky that I love you.”
“And you should be lucky that our daughter has my lovely genes.” Yami let out a chuckle while she merely sighed. Picking her saucer up she was going to blow the steam away ante to Yami taking the saucer out of her hands and blowing the steam away himself then giving it back to her.
“Yami I really appreciate this, but you don’t always have to gestures as such as these.” She replied more softly.
“I know. But you held pride and joy in for nine months, it’s only best I treat my prickly princess, like a prickly queen.”
Hearing the nickname he once used back when they were in their late 20s made the entirety of her face become a crimson mess.
Blowing the steam away from his tea cup he took a sip, to what he hummed very positive
“Gotta give it to you Charlotte, you mom buys some heck of a tea.”
“She’s been the same tea since she’s had me, so after I had Hikari I thought why not carry the tradition?”
“Very thoughtful of you dear.” He leaned in to plant a kiss on her forehead.
“Y-Your tense, aren’t you.”
Yami replied by raising his eyebrow.
“How so?”
Ever since the new emerged nine months that she was pregnant she immediately demanded Yami to teach her to read Ki in case of someone harming her baby. Wasn’t as fast as how Asta learned it, more or less.
“Well…” He sighed as he pushed his hair back.
“I’m worried about those dumb idiots.”
She shrugged before opening her mouth. “Dear I’m sure Hikari is fine with them.”
“Not my point. It’s about who will be the captain after the kid.”
Facing him now she looked kinda star-stuck…?!
“How so? Shouldn’t that be Asta’s choice.”
“You’ve seen the kid before Charlotte, he’s a complete nuisance…and I felt responsible as the founder to have some say.”
Yami?! Responsible?! Those two words aren’t synonyms that for sure.
“Well.”
Slipping her slender through his arm to firmly place her hand into his.
“That’s not my call to make at all, you need to step up as a captain and make that call, who will have guts, to have self-determination, and have the ability to bring your squad to their full potential.”
“Tsk. The only person you draw to with those qualities isn’t even a member of my squad.”
“Who is it then?”
“That happy-go-lucky clover elite with the dragon magic, I’m giving myself a headache.”
Listening to Yami complaining about a headache made her laugh.
“Push past your limits Mr Roselei I’m sure you’ll remember eventually.” It was her turnt to plant a kiss on his cheek.
“Hey no Mrs Sukehiro are you trying to use my own saying on me?”
“As a matter of fact yes I am.”
Hands suddenly on the waist he pulled her in and began to tickle her all over, it was often they would have tickle fight, she tried to fight back but he had such a grip on her it felt nearly impossible too.
This went on for a couple of minutes, when all of a sudden she heard the rain becoming more and more louder.
Sitting up Yami made a remark.
“Great how are we suppose to get Hikari home?” Sitting up herself she placed a finger on his lips.
“We’ll worry about that later. For now let’s enjoy this silence.”
And so they did.

Just like old times:
I was thinking about all of the things I imagine at like, 3am, so here it goes! It's when they're young... I saw a small scene of these characters together at some point and thought, how did they meet?
(I highly recommend listening to the said songs of Taylor Swift)
Nozel: 14
Jack: 13
Charlotte: 12 (Luck: 2)

Song: exile
I think I've seen this film before, so I'm leaving out the side door...
Charlotte woke up to the sound of a child crying. She looked around her room, dimly lit by a candle, confused. This wasn't the Roselei mannor... was it?
Oh, right..., she thought, this is Yvon, she remembered when she looked at her step-mother's sleeping form beside her.
She had been staying with Adua and her son, Luck, for a while. To be more specific, since she found out her Father had cheated, so, about three months. And over those three months, she saw Adua was not meant to be a mother.
She slowly lifted the old duvet from her small frame, and tip toed around the room to find Luck's crib. His cries ceased as his sister came into sight. Charlotte's eyes lit up and she smiled, as the little blonde boy reached his arms out for her to pick him up.
As she cradled Luck in her arms, Charlotte walked outside the room and sat him on the table while she went back to the room to get a bag, and packed some essentials: her clothes, Luck's, their coats, and Adua's blue old sleep shirt (she surely wouldn't miss it), Luck would always cling to its sleeves. She closed the door in hopes of not waking the woman up, and walked back to the living room.
She picked Luck up, and, with her bags, walked put of the house, into the night. She was headed for the closest beach.
They were on their own now.

Nozel was outside the Silva Estate, deep into the forest, a normal thing to happen late at night, or early in the morning. Acier knew of his whereabouts, she would often see him walking outside the castle, or coming back mid-morning.
But she was no longer there...
So, it wasn't surprising that he ended up in the dark heart of the woods. He wasn't scared, he had his magic to protect him.
As he walked through the woods, he looked at the trees he knew so well. Dark bark, strong branches and dark leaves were dull compared to his save heaven. He made his way through the mist to a big willow tree. Its leaves were a light green, almost golden, hanging down like tears from the branches. The mist had left behind a trail of dampness and droplets on the leaves and trunk, making it easier to imagine the tree was shedding tears.
As if it understood Nozel's pain.
The silver-haired boy climbed the tree, in a route he had memorised long ago, leaning on branches and small holes to reach that one branch that accompanied him so many times in his sorrow. He finally sat down on the branch, other small ones making it easier to lean back.
He overlooked the misty forest, the moon shining dimly through the fog. He could still see the Silva Castle over a distant hill. Was the Weeping Willow that far away from home? he asked himself. He started to shake. He put his head between his hands and started to cry,
Over his mother,
over his absent father,
over his jealousy of stupid Fuegoleon and his stupid perfect family,
over how Solid hated Noelle,
over how he heard Nebra's muffled sobs at night,
over how unfair life was to his family.
Then, he heard it.
"Are you okay?"

Song: cardigan
You drew stars around my scars, but now I'm bleeding...
Jack didn't know what to feel. He was confused, scared, sad, angry.
Confused; why did they do it? scared; did they feel that way about me? sad; I thought they cared about me... angry; do they really think I would do it on purpose?
It slowly came to his senses that his home was not his home anymore. The beach side town he used to call home didn't want him anymore. All because of that small accident.
Okay, maybe it wasn't that small, but still.
As he walked beside the shore, he looked at the view. The waves were soft, and the sky was tainted peach pink, signalling the rising of the sun. He looked down to his wet feet on the sand, little droplets of blood falling onto it.
He had to get to a hospital, quickly. It was that, or loosing his eye. His strength was running out, and the gush on his face was pretty bad.
Was he really that bad?
As he was about to fall on the sand, two pairs of arms caught him, and lay him on a warm blanket placed on the grass. He could hear their voices talk, and a child cry as well. Probably scared of the deep wound.
"We need to take him to a hospital. Now." a female voice said with urgency.
"He wouldn't make it to the closest hospital. I can treat him." Said a calm, deeper voice. "Hey, this is going to hurt" Jack could faintly recognise the boy's accent as a way higher class. Royalty, maybe?
He heard the girl speak again, to calm down the baby, and then spoke to him.
"What's your name? I'm Charlotte, he's Nozel" In between the pain of the needle piercing his skin to close the wound, he managed to let out a faint whisper of his name.
The boy, who he assumed was Nozel, asked him again; "Jack what?"
He hesitated. He actually didn't know. He had been called "Ripper" all his life, so he answered carefully. "I don't know. They always called me Jack the Ripper because of my slash magic. How about you?"
"I'm Charlotte Ro- Voltia". Jack decided he would ask her about that slip later. "I'm Nozel Silva" So, he was right. A royal snob.
When Nozel was done, he and his companion asked him if he wanted to go with them.
Obviously, he said yes.

(Thirteen years later)
Song: happiness
There'll be happiness after me, but there was happiness because of me...
It was the magic knights exam, and a certain candidate had awoken the interest of a crowd. He was a strange mage, it was like he only wanted to fight. Most teenagers found him scary.
Now known as the Cheery Berserker, Luck Voltia had come out as a strange boy; and the eyes of three captains never left him during the exam. However, when the time came, neither of them rose their hand.
"The Black Bulls"
Charlotte looked at Yami, a tint of blush on her face, though her heart swelled with sadness.
When the exam was over, she walked out the first, followed closely behind by Nozel and Jack. The streets were empty, the wetness of the rain from a few hours ago was still on the stone floor. The streetlights were dimly lit by candles, and almost every pub was closed. She fell on the edge of the pavement, her head buried in between her hands.
Nozel and Jack came shortly after. Nozel was the first one to sit down with her, and pulled Charlotte in a deep hug. Jack had sat down as well. He muttered the words able to put a small smile on Nozel's face.
"The kid did grow up"
As they all smiled, they heard a faint voice, loud but distant.
"Captain Yami, hold on a second, please! I have to say goodbye to someone!" A boy said. The three turned around to the sound of the boy's close voice.
"Hi, Charlie"
"Hi, Luck"
