theres a hypothetical instance of asylumstuck being written well and not incredibly offensive and yet every single time i see some old asylumstuck posts i am blown away by how they manage to get literally every depiction of mental illness incorrect. its like they googled the symptoms and then deliberately wrote against the reality of those illnesses. its like they googled awful stereotypes about mentally ill (mostly psychotic or suicidal people) and made it their personal project to include as many as they could
#i am not opposed to the idea of writing characters from anything in a psychiatric hospital#however#like from the bat they use the very sensational name 'asylum' which is okay i guess since its one word and well known enough#but to go on and be like#yeah terezi and john *know the truth* about them being in an au and believe theyre supposed to be gods in a video game#oh calliope has some weird fucked up writing combination of psychosis and DID#where she simultaneously thinks caliborn is a hallucination ('imaginary friend') and an alter that 'takes over when shes mad'#or like#gamzee is a murderer and a schizophrenic and a cannibal#or sollux has schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and its obvious op didnt google if you can have both at once bc theyd immediately see#that that would usually just be diagnosed as schizoaffective disorder#like im not saying you cant write this setting and write it well. but its so fucking obvious its coming from a sixpenceee sort of place#where psychosis and DID and ocd and personality disorders are creepy aesthetic horror movie things#like hey you guys know not every psychiatric patient is psychotic right. and psychotic people are normal right#ffs have some tact its really not hard to google the actual symptoms and testimony from people with these conditions#sorry this got really ranty it just blows me away how ive seen people posting about asylumstuck in this decade#sorry if i spelled asylum wrong in this post and didnt catch it ive got the dyslexia

Barcelona Femeni x Reader
This was your first Champions League, which is why you were pretty worked up about it. Ever since you came to the team, you were an inpatient little thing. Always getting into fights on the field, then complaining when you got into trouble for it. It annoyed Alexia, and no matter how many talks she's given you, you continued to do it. 
Considering it was the semi-finals, you had expected a lot of trash talk. The first game was at the opposing team's home. 
You were sitting on the bench for this one, but even when you were on the bench, all you heard was their fans behind you shouting everyone's name, trying to get into everyone's head. Saying stuff to everyone on the bench. 
Fridolina, who had just come back from her injury, noticed how tense you were and put a hand on your shoulder. "Block them out," she told you. "I am; I just want to get on the field," you told her. "And you will; be patient and wait your turn," she reassured you, putting an arm around your shoulder. 
The opposing team was playing rough, poor Aitana and Patri couldn't have the ball for a second before getting trampled, which was making it hard to get the ball to Salma and Caroline up front. You jumped a little every time you saw Alexia go down, worried she would get hurt again. 
The fans didn't seem to like you guys were falling over from every tackle, booing every time. By the 60th minute, you hadn't expected Jonatan to put you in the game with how close it was right now, but once he gave you that nod, you quickly got up and started to warm up. 
All the fans were booing as they saw you. You tried to hide your smile. Alexia's scoldings were worse than a packed stadium booing you. 
————
The call came in the late 88th minute when you dribbled in the box and got tripped up from behind. The game was tied 1-1; this penalty would give you the lead. 
As usual, Alexia was the one to take the penalty. You already had a bright smile on your face, knowing she was for sure going to make it. 
That she did, you jumped onto her back. Everyone else pulling you two into a hug. "It's not over yet," Alexia reminded you. 
————
You happily jumped around when the referee blew the whistle. "We did it." You spoke happily, hugging Alexia.
"1 more game, Ale," she ruffled your hair, giving you a kiss on the forehead. 
She led you to the Barcelona fans to sign their stuff, but a guy flipping you caught your attention instead. 
"You're all a bunch of pussies." Now that set you off. You glared at him and flipped him off. 
He didn't seem to like that as he pushed the person in front of him and jumped over the barrier to try to get to you. Security quickly tackled him, but now you were mad. 
You quickly made your way to where he was wanting to talk crap right in his face, but you were grabbed by Marta, who gave you a disapproving look and pushed you to go back. 
"Go cry to your mother, acting like a little boy." You heard him grunt as he tried pushing the security off as the rest of the police in the stadium arrived, roughly grabbing him by his shoulders and taking him away. 
You were about to talk more crap, but got your ear pulled. "Stop," Alexia said harshly, leading you away from the commotion. 
"That hurt," you whined, rubbing your ear. "You know not to be arguing with people twice your size," she slapped the back of your head when you rolled your eyes at her. 
You quickly hid behind Alexia when Irene and Marta approached. "Really? You're not scared of a huge guy, but you're scared of those two." Alexia shook her head at them as they tried dragging you out of your hiding spot. 
"You're going to apologize to him," Marta said strictly. "No," you simply said, earning you a glare from all three of them.
"He was mean." Irene looked frustrated by the whole situation. She would say you're acting like a kid, but you are a kid. 
"And he shouldn't be talking to people like that." "She's got a point," Mapi called out, making them glare at her. "Stay out of this, Maria; you're the reason she has this attitude." 
"Stop lying to yourself, Prima; you know how bad her temper is." "She's working on it," Alexia defended. "Well, I don't see any improvement." Ingrid smacked the back of Mapi's head. 
"Mapi, why don't you just focus on that leg" Now Alexia smacked you in the back of the head while Mapi glared at you. "I was joking," Mapi huffed, hug let out a little laugh. 
You giggled as you saw them taking the man away, knowing he was probably going to be banned from watching his favorite team now. 
"Stop laughing, or else I'm going to go defend him and fly him out to Barcelona to go to the next game," Marta said. "Sorry," you quickly said, Marta looked at you unsatisfied. "Apologize to him, not to me." You grumbled, slowly making your way back to him. 
————
"Sorry, dude," you spoke to him, still keeping your distance. He continued to give you a dirty look, trying to shuffle a little closer. 
"I didn't mean to get you into trouble," you said as you got closer. "Shake on it?" He still didn't speak, staring at your extended hand. You looked back at Alexia, worried, but she just nodded for you to keep going. 
"Ay!" You yelled as he leaped at you. It took the cops a while to react, but they quickly pulled him off you before he could actually get a hit on you.
While they pulled him, you were able to knee him in his stomach, making him groan. You smiled proudly to yourself as you watched them put him in handcuffs. 
You felt someone grab you, and you went into another fight mode, trying to shove away the person. "Stop." You went limp when you heard Alexia's voice. 
"You're okay." Everything had happened so fast that Alexia still couldn't really comprehend what just happened. You let out a little laugh as you looked at the guy again, watching as he was now being handcuffed. 
"Fucking asshole," you muttered, making Alexia pinch your hip. "He is," you shrugged. "Come here," Marta grabbed your arm and led you back to the locker room while Alexia's dealt with everything. 
"I just got attacked by a guy you forced me to apologize to," you whined to her. By the look she had on her face, she felt bad. 
"Quires dulces?" She asked, trying to distract you. "Si." You smiled at the team as you stepped into the locker room. 
"I was attacked," you said casually. "What?" Patri questioned, "The asshole attacked me." Claudia snorted, making everyone turn to her. 
"You just let him?" Marta glared at her, signaling for her to stay quiet before you started ranting about it. It was too late, though. "Of course not, Pina. He's lucky Alexia grabbed me, or else I would be walking out in handcuffs to" 
"Well, at least he's going to jail." Mapi shrugged. You smiled at that. "And Marta is getting me candy." 
"What? That's not fair!" Salma protested, and everyone agreed with her. "She's a child, buy your own candy."
Everyone froze when Alexia came in, a stern look on her face. "We're pressing charges on him," she simply said, making everyone nod. Whatever La Reina said, everyone just went along with it. 
"As for you," Alexia turned her attention to you now. You gulped, hiding behind Marta. "Estas bien?" You nodded.
"Good, but you can't let those people get to you. If you react, they'll do it more. We won, that's all that matters. Don't let an angry fan take that away from you." 
"Yes, Ale," you muttered, watching as everyone fell back into their little celebrations now. You joined Patri and Salma in their singing, trying to keep up, at least. 
One thing was for sure, you were going to enjoy eating your butt off at Alexia's mama's place while that guy sleeps in a cell.

since you, the reader has school going for you, you rarely play honkai star rail.
the characters would always wonder where you went, or what you were doing outside of their world. they can still hear your voice, but very, very faintly. they would sometimes hear a name they would not recognize and idk, maybe just go:
"who the hell is diluc and why is he so hot??"
they would also listen in to your conversations whenever they would hear your voice. even if it's you talking to yourself about history, or you talking to your friends about things unrelated to their world. they wouldn't really mind. maybe just a little bit.
but when you go back to the game, the characters would be overjoyed and would try to make you stay there longer.
even going as far as to secretly double the stellar jades you would receive during quests or missions. and missing the excitement of pulling for new characters, you would gladly warp for the new characters on limited banners.
they would ask silver wolf to hack into the system to boost your chances of getting a character or the light cone you were pulling for. they would push each other aside just so they can appear on your screen for you to gush over how you got another copy of a character or celebrating when you got all of the eidolons of one character that you really liked.
just seeing you being happy just makes them want to spoil you even more, just so you will stay playing with them, forever.
but when you suddenly stopped playing the game while they were trying their hardest to give you what you wanted, you realised, oh, there's school tomorrow. so you decided to turn off the game for the time being and go to sleep.
but they couldn't let you go just like that! that would be ridiculous.
for a few days just before you played the game again, the cast begged for anyone who could take them to your world. just sitting idly on your device's screen and listen to your voice wasn't cutting it anymore.
they want to see— they needed to see you, to actually have an actual conversation with you and not just talk to you through this game's script. it wasn't enough for them to be living behind the screen for you to just watch, they wanted to show you that they are actual tangible beings that call you their "creator" .
the main character had begged herta to do something about this, and she complied without any argument, to their confusion. usually she would be saying stuff like how she would just 'give up in the middle of it' ,, but she.. didn't? nonetheless, they were grateful to have herta agree with creating a portal to your world.
as soon as the characters caught wind of this, they were ecstatic. they had left their duties just to hop on the astral express and to herta's space station, to finally see you, to meet you.
in herta's office, it was packed with all the playable characters, waiting. some patiently waiting, some, not so much.
to see opposing groups of people being in the same room and not being at each other's throats were such a random thing to see, but they didn't care about that, no no, they only cared about you.
you, their "creator".. how could they miss this opportunity to be meeting their own creator, the one who gave them life, something to live for.
as herta was finishing up some parts of the portal, you were sound asleep in your bed, snoring away in your weird sleeping position.
well, until you felt your blanket started to move with sudden gusts of wind. you heard a really loud thump, it didn't come from any rooms of your house, it didn't sound muffled when it happened. so it's,, in your room. but oh, would you look at that, your room is so dark you couldn't locate your phone which was usually near you to use it as a flashlight.
but what's that? you heard a voice , a very, very familiar voice.
———
yeah naur... i can't do this,, this sounds terrible i'm so sorry you had to read this sobsosb i am so soso sorryr

regal antics
prince!haechan x maid!F!reader
warnings: enemies to ???, donghyuck is annoying and pretentious, but honestly Y/N is kind of a bad person too, this is not a healthy relationship ok, angst, mention of alcohol, smut, unprotected sex, not healthy dynamics overall
word count: 6.5K
summary: Y/N does not put up with Donghyuck’s antics, and it is often irritating to serve him, but soon, he’ll have to marry and the king has decided that it will be better for his son to know what to do on his wedding night. Or where Y/N, maid of the capricious prince Donghyuck is requested to sleep with him, in order to prepare for his upcoming wedding.
A/N: I struggled a lot with this one, and I gave it up a lot of times too. I’m not sure I’m very satisfied with it in the end, but I spent too much time on it so here it is. I honestly fear that the transition to enemies to whatever it is, may be too rushed. I hope you don’t feel this way but if it’s the case I’m so sorry :(
His Majesty the Prince Donghyuck was as capricious as a baby. He was narcissistic, egoistical and whiny. The day he would become king would be, for sure, the death of your city.
But you owed the royal family, and could not refuse your king anything, so you served his son as a maid regarding of your dislike of his character. You, as opposed to the other servants, did not care to hide your feelings about the prince’s behaviour -you knew the king and queen liked you too much to throw you out of the palace anyway.
“Y/N!” A straining voice called out to you. Here was his majesty…Turning around, you bowed in front of him, asking with the sweetest tone you could manage to let out, how you could help him. “You could do me a favour yes, pick up some oranges for me. I could use something to eat.” He asked, not even looking at you. Rolling your eyes, you made your way to the market, you knew better than to argue with him. You passed the palace gates wondering how Dongyuck could be so lazy, considering that he spent most of his days singing and playing the lyre while lying on a sofa. But it was not your place to think about this.
The walk to the market was quite refreshing nonetheless, you were relieved to be away from Donghyuck when his father was back from his trips in the mountains to hunt. He was even worse than usual when it was like this. Of course, you pitied the other servants who were way more patient than you were, but you had the feeling that the prince relished annoying you. When you returned to the palace courtyard with a drizzle of oranges, Donghyuck was fast asleep on the sofa. You shook him, handing him the net. “Your Highness, I have the oranges you asked for.” You told him. He rubbed his eyes, sitting up. He took one of the oranges and you watched him peel the skin off each quarter of the fruit. 
Reaching out a hand to shield his eyes from the sun, he asked you, “Y/N, do ever get tired of serving me?” Your eyes furrowed, unsure about how you should answer this question. You paused and thought about it for a moment before answering carefully, “Well, I must say it can be quite challenging sometimes, but I take pride in my work.” He smiled, amused. “You take pride in your work hmm…” He mused with a raised eyebrow. 
As you prepared to argue, you were interrupted by the footsteps of a servant, visibly running in your direction. Arriving at your level, she bowed down in front of the prince before she spoke, “I am sorry to interrupt Your Majesty, but your father, the king is asking for Y/N.” Raising your eyebrows, you watched the girl taking back her breath. The prince’s gaze went from you to the servant and he waved. “Well, go do the work you take so much pride in,” he said, a condescending smile on his face. You knew he was making fun of you, but that was nothing new, he always did. So, without giving him the pleasure of losing your temper, you followed the young girl inside the palace. 
She took you to His Majesty’s room, you wasted no time in knocking on the door, worried that something might be wrong. A hoarse voice allowed you in and one of the guards outside the room opened the doors for you and you bowed low as you entered the room. “Your majesty, you asked for me.”
“Yes, come sit child.” The old man was sitting on one of the various red velvet sofas and motioned you to one next to his. A bit awkwardly, you sat down, waiting for instructions. “Y/N, what I am about to ask you is very embarrassing I must say.” He said, looking quite uneasy. “As you may know, my son, Donghyuck, will soon be married.” You nodded your head, the reminder making you feel bad for the lady who was going to become Donghyuck’s spouse. The king cleared his throat before pursuing, “I am sure I am not the one teaching you this, but… It is customary for young men to already be experienced once they wed.” You furrowed your eyebrows, “Your Majesty, I am not quite sure I understand what you are referring to.”
“Well, I am talking about the wedding night…” Heat rushed to your cheeks. “You see, I trust your discretion, but unlike the other young men of his stature, Donghyuck has never visited courtesans.” Your eyes widened at his revelation. It was much more than you wanted to know about him. “He also never had close friends, so I am almost certain when I say that he has never had any experience.” 
Confusion written on your face, you thought about it again. That Donghyuck never had a friend was absolutely certain, no one could put up with his whims for more than a few days, but that a member of the royal family, as self-sufficient as him, never had an affair with a prostitute or a servant, was hard to believe. However, the more you thought about it, the more confused about your role in this situation you were.
“Your Highness, I do not understand why you are entrusting this to me.” You told him, crossing and uncrossing your legs. “I have thought about it, and I think that you would be the only one who could actually teach him a thing or two.” He phrased, cautiously, but your mouth had already hung open. “But your highness, I work at the palace every day, I do not think I could be the most qualified person to take up this task. You may hire someone whose profession revolves around it.” You argued. 
It was true that you had already had affairs. Servants had to, who else would love them? They had little to no family, and they did not have time to leave the palace for anything other than work. You had to look for love elsewhere. So yes, you had already shared your bed with other servants, but there were certainly a good hundred people in the city who would be better for this task. “I know, and I will, if you refuse, but I had to ask you. I know, even though he would never admit it, my son has respect for you, and I would like him to learn with someone he likes, at least before he meets his future wife.”
You had to hold back a snort. Donghyuck, liking you? Even, you weren’t sure if he knew what the word “respect” stood for -except when it was due to him, indeed. But, it made you think about it for a second. After all, it would probably be best for the lady who was going to marry him if he practised with the only person in the kingdom not to be afraid of him, -she was miserable enough already. The king must have known that you would be brave enough to tell Donghyuck if he was doing something wrong, and the dots started to connect in your mind too. Also, it could be a great opportunity to have the prince vulnerable and take the upper hand. Now, that did not sound like a bad idea.
“With all the respect I have for you, I must think about it, before giving you my answer.” You bowed once again. “Of course, I give you a week. I do not want to force your hand, but I would really like you to consider it.” When you left the room, you were still puzzled. For the king to ask you this seemed unbelievable, and you scolded yourself mentally for even considering it. How could you even picture yourself in Donghyuck’s bed? He was the most irritable human being you have ever met, it was already difficult to bear talking to him, so considering touching him… 
You made your way to your room as fast as you could, you needed to be alone and think about what just happened. 
꧁ ♡ ꧂
In the quiet of your room, you hid under your blanket, ashamed about the thoughts running inside your head. Of course, Donghyuck was handsome, very handsome. Much more than any person you ever knew -he wouldn’t let someone prettier than he was around him anyway. But he was unbearable. And nothing could change that. In years of serving him, he never showed any sympathy, for you or anyone other than himself. It was hard to imagine him in an intimate situation anyway. He always seemed so detached, it was difficult to believe that he could be an attentive lover. Not that you cared, of course. Pretending to have a fever, you managed to stay in your room for the rest of the day, someone would replace you in the tasks you were supposed to get done, you would have been incapable of facing Donghyuck today. 
꧁ ♡ ꧂
Eventually, you had to step into the real world. Outside of your room. And you did, the next morning. A few other servants asked you about your illness and you offered them your greatest acting skills, telling them that you were still a bit tired, but thankfully, you were recovering fast enough. 
On this day you were assigned to do laundry, along with other girls of about your age. Your knees, bare against the tiled floor, you soaped and scraped pieces of clothing repeatedly in the washtub, until both your wrists and biceps grew sore, and your knees began to burn a little. The sun shone brightly and the air was hot and humid, so much so that you had to wipe drops of sweat that gathered on your neck, rolling down your eyebrows to your eyes, every once in a while. 
If the other girls chatted just a few seconds before, now they had all gone quiet, as light footsteps approached your group.  “Good morning ladies, what are you all up to?” Donghyuck’s annoying voice was a straining nuisance to your ears. “Doing laundry, Your Highness.” You answered before the others, your tone as cold as it could be. “That sounds like hard work for such delicate young ladies. I am sure you would not mind a little help?”
Tilting up your head with widened eyes, you tried to reason with him, “Your Majesty, I am not sure this is a job for you. You should go back to your usual activities.” But he had already rolled his sleeves up and went down on his knees to join y’all. “Oh come on Y/N, do not be so strict. I can handle a little laundry, and I would be delighted to spend some time with such beautiful damsels.” He smiled as he winked at some of the servants. The girls exchanged glances and chuckled as Donghyuck plunged his hands into the soapy water. You, on the other hand, were only wondering what was he up to. The prince never helped with anything -not that it was his place anyway- but if he decided to now, it was probably a new way of his to get on your nerves. 
As usual, you were right, and Donghyuck grew tired of the chore, even more quickly than you had expected. Swinging back, he let out a huge sigh of fatigue. Soon, he started to splash you and the girls, causing them to shriek and laugh. Not amused at all by his actions, you tried your best to stay calm and focus on your task. The girls giggled and blushed, as the prince shamelessly flirted with them. For servants to receive the attention of the prince was something they could not resist, he knew that, and obviously took advantage of it to satisfy his huge ego. Your frustration grew, and you scrubbed the cloth harder by the second. 
Glancing at your companions, you were angry to notice that they all seemed to enjoy themselves. You could not help but feel a bit jealous of their carefree attitude. Why did everything seem so effortless for them, why couldn’t you just get yourself to like Donghyuck, just like they all did? Of course, you understood how he was charming to them, but you just couldn’t overcome his whimsical behaviour. 
Right now, his disruptive presence made it impossible to get any work done. Watching him having fun and them giggling, was getting more and more irritating. Soon, you couldn’t take it anymore and suddenly stood up. “We cannot work with you here.” Looking up at you, Donghyuck raised an eyebrow, “Pardon?” You took a deep breath and continued, aware that you had certainly put yourself in trouble, “I said that we cannot work properly because of you.”
Taken aback by your bravery, he got up on his feet, visibly offended. “Well, if you think I am such a nuisance, I will go find something else to do.” He turned back on his heels and now it was your turn to be taken aback. It was too easy, you had crossed the line, and you had expected him to shout or even lock you up in a cell, but Donghyuck was walking away. When you faced the other girl servants, they glared at you, before resuming their task in silence. Ashamed of having ruined their moment, you lowered your head and plunged your hands back into the water. 
꧁ ♡ ꧂
A day had passed since you last saw the prince. When you asked other servants if they had seen him, they either replied in the negative, or did not reply at all, but the less you heard of Donghyuck, the more anxious you grew. You had the uneasy feeling that he was up to something, something that would make you regret your behaviour of the other day.  
In the evening, you retreated to your room, put on your nightgown and brushed your hair by the bed. A few knocks on your door interrupted you, and you went to open it. “Already in bed?” Well, you should have expected him, but you were still surprised that he knew where your room was. “Your Majesty,” you took a few steps back, embarrassed that he saw you in your night clothes, but you knew you had no right to leave him at the door. “I think we have a few things to discuss, just the two of us,” he said, stepping in and closing the door behind him. 
You stood like this, in awkward silence for a moment, your eyes glued to the ground before he decided to break it. “Well, if you ain’t going to do it yourself, I will have to ask you.” Looking up at him, you noticed that his usual expression had changed. It was not all smirk and raised eyebrows anymore. His face was stern, and you were not used to it. Donghyuck took a step forward. “Apologize.”
“What?” Truth is, you had not expected him to make it to your room only to ask you this. “Why does everything always have to be so hard with you? Can’t you just do what you are told to?” He sighed. You were at a loss for words. You should have been publicly humiliated, locked in your quarters, asked to do extra chores, for having talked to the prince the way you did, not do private apologies. His eyes never left yours, awaiting. 
“I- I am sorry Your Highness, I shouldn’t have talked to you the way I did the other day. It was not my place, and it will not happen again.” you bowed down as you spoke, and he finally cracked a smile when you were finished. “See? That wasn’t so hard.” He was wrong, for you it was. You hated to belittle yourself in front of him. You had no problem obeying someone like his father, someone you had respect for, someone who fulfilled his duties and actually cared about the people under him. But even after so many years, you couldn’t get yourself to accept that you were under Donghyuck. He was self-centred, disrespectful and overall, a kid in a young adult body, who deserved nothing he had.
The way you gritted your teeth did not escape him, and he took even a step further. “You know, you should thank me, for I haven’t ordered you to do this in front of the whole kingdom.” his tone was threatening, and you shivered at the idea of such a humiliating perspective. “Try to keep in mind how generous of a person I am, before you dare to speak to me like that again.” This time, his voice was barely above a whisper, but he was close enough for you to hear. “I will.” You forced the words out of your mouth, your jaw tense.
“Good. I have nothing else to tell you.” Turning back on his heels, he left the room, after giving you one last look, “Good night Y/N.” When the door closed you collapsed at the foot of your bed, your head in your hands. You were going to say yes. 
꧁ ♡ ꧂
“What made you make your decision?” The king asked, at the discretion of his room. You had thought about it, and even if you weren’t thrilled about the idea, you couldn’t miss your only opportunity to give Donghyuck a taste of his own medicine. You were going to enter his intimacy, and take advantage of it to humiliate him, but of course, you could not tell him that. “It is my duty to help the prince when I am asked to, Your Majesty.” He nodded, pleased with your answer, “Thank you Y/N. You really are doing me a favour. I am glad Donghyuck will get to do this with someone like you.” Your cheeks flushed at his words. He told you he would inform Donghyuck, and sent you on your way. 
꧁ ♡ ꧂
Another week had passed, and Donghyuck’s anger towards you transformed into sly grins he would send your way, whenever he got the chance. He had certainly been made aware of it now.
Ever since His Majesty told you He would tell His son about what He had planned for him, you imagined every possible scenario. But no matter how hard you tried, it seemed impossible for you to predict what his reaction would be. Was he going to be glad? Mad? Embarrassed? Anyways he would, with no doubt, laugh at you for accepting such a proposition. And he would be right to do so. What were you thinking? You still had no idea when, where and how it was going to happen. You were simply left with that idea in your mind, like a Damocles sword above your head. 
Today it was your turn to make the Prince’s bed, and as you spread the silk sheets on the mattress, you caught yourself wondering if you were going to lay in that same bed he was sleeping in. Were you going todo it here? Where else? Not in your room, Donghyuck was too delicate to go into the servants’ quarters a second time anyways. At the reminder of his personality, you shook your head and resumed stretching the sheets. How were you supposed to be intimate with Donghyuck, out of all people? And how could you even imagine that he would be less intolerable in a bedroom?
“Y/N?” a soft voice interrupted your train of thought. You turned your head to face a chubby girl with red cheeks. She wore a grey uniform with an apron, she was a maid, just like you. “I was requested by His Majesty to come and fetch you later in the evening.” She said, looking at her feet. When you opened your mouth to ask if she knew what was the matter, she continued, as if in a rush, “I just had to let you know.”, before disappearing in the hallway. 
So this was it. It was for tonight. You went on with your tasks for the day as if you had a fever. There was a constant buzzing in your ears that you were certain you were imagining, and your head spinned every once in a while. When you were finished, you went back to your room, to prepare for God knows what was going to happen. You figured you should be at least presentable, so you changed your maid uniform for the only dress you had that wasn’t one, and took care of arranging your hair. Once done, you looked at your reflection in the mirror, puzzled. What were you doing? 
You heard the knocking on your door but continued to stare at yourself. It was your last chance to change your mind. 
꧁ ♡ ꧂
The girl with the red cheeks led you to the princely suite, and when you both got to the door, she stopped next to it, as if to signal that she was not going in with you. You should have expected that, but on the other hand, you couldn’t help but want a bit of support. However, it had been your decision, and now you had to face the consequences alone. 
Standing straight, you took the deepest breath you ever took and pushed the doors with all the strength you could gather. When you stepped in, the door closed behind you on its own, and you were left alone, in the dim light of the room. Well, not quite alone indeed, Donghyuck was sitting in a velvet chair, not far from the fireplace warming and illuminating the place. You had not been alone together since he forced you to apologize the other day, and you apprehended his next move. 
Eventually, he looked your way, eyes slowly taking in your appearance, from the hem of your dress to your neatly styled hair. “Well, this is pretty uncommon to see you all dressed up.” he sneered with his chin up. He was not going to make it any easier. Neither were you. “This is far from my usual tasks, Your Majesty.” He narrowed his eyes defensively as you took one step forward. “But I must admit, this is one of the most tedious ones, so far.” Donghyuck’s eyes widened, and he let out a chuckle. “Tedious? Are you implying that sleeping with me is boring?” You smirked, “How could you know?” 
You noticed his jaw tensing. Now, you did not regret your decision at all, you had your revenge. There was a moment of silence, you could almost hear the sound of him gritting his teeth. The thrill of excitement that rushed through you at this exact moment, was like nothing you had experienced in the past. You wished you could stay like this forever, and watch him drown in humiliation.
“Well, you did not come here to quarrel now, did you?” he inquired, his eyebrows frowned and his hand holding the armrest harder than it should. “I did not.” Another step closer. “Have a drink, otherwise I fear it will be impossible to do what you came here to do.” he sighed, pointing at one of the two goblets set on the coffee table. You watched him, wary. “You talk as if I am the one who needs this.” You could tell by his reaction that you had hit a nerve, again. “Sit, please.” With a hand supporting his head, he motioned at a chair facing his. You figured that at least for once tonight, you could do what you were told to and sat. 
“Listen, I know you despise me,” he stated, his voice softer, leaning to pour wine into both goblets, “but I do not.” You grabbed the goblet, nervous to have something this expensive in your hands. Donghyuck raised his to his lips and sipped eagerly. “You do not wonder what I mean by that?” he asked, curious. Taking an experimental sip, you grimaced at the sour taste of the drink, before answering, “No. I know you. I know that you thrive in watching people anguish about what you may think of them, but I do not feel this way.” Setting down his drink, he smirked at your declaration. “You know, you are not as good at lying as you think you are.” taking a pause, he stood up, and crossed the six feet distance between you both in an instant. As he placed both of his hands on the armrests of your chair, you sank into your seat, caged in. “You are not special Y/N, you care about what I think of you, just like everyone else. The only difference is that you love to pretend that you hate me.” He said with a low voice that you did not know him, and a shiver ran down your spine. 
He had never been so close. So close that you could feel his hot breath on your face. Instinctively, you closed your eyes, now aware of all the lines you had crossed since the moment you entered his bedroom. “No, no, do not flinch now. I thought you came here on a mission?” His chortle did not help you regain the courage you just lost. “I bet you accepted my father’s absurd proposition to make fun of me, hmm? You thought that it would be your chance to mock me. To finally take the upper hand.” he took a step back, “But where is that confidence now?” You hated his condescending tone, he was talking to you as if you were pathetic, but he was right, you couldn’t even lift off your seat. 
“I always knew you were all bark no bites. Now that you finally have the occasion to get back at me, you sit here and stare at me with your eyes wide open,” he added, looking down at you with raised eyebrows. You stayed like this for a while, in the silence of lead, before he let out a long sigh. “Why did you accept this stupid idea, Y/N? We are not going to make love, we cannot even be in the same room without squabbling. I do not understand why my father asked you, out of all people.” 
“He said that you liked me.” You spoke under your breath and you caught his eyes widening in surprise. “Like you?” You gripped the fabric of your skirt, looking down at your hands. “What does he know? He mumbled through gritted teeth. Gathering your courage, you got up on your feet, “This was a mistake. I-I’m sorry, I don’t know what I was thinking.” You stuttered, “I should go.” With that, you rushed to the door, ready to leave, but his hand gripped your wrist, holding you back.
“Y/N, stay.” You turned around to face him. “You just said that all of this was stupid, and I agree with you.” You spat, louder than before, “I will return to my room, and both of us are going to act as if this never happened.”
Tugging a bit on your wrist, he managed to pull you closer and asked, “Now that you have pictured yourself in my bed, will you really be able to act as if nothing happened?” It was back. That smug smirk on his face you hated so much. And that complacent attitude of his… 
Raising his hand, it reached for your face and when he cupped your cheek, you were so dumbfounded that you couldn’t even argue. “Oh, I’m sure you’ve imagined it at least once or twice… But I cannot blame you, I did too.” He whispered the last words, and you considered having misheard them. He raised his eyebrows in a teasing manner, he was trying to undermine you. But it would not work, not if you could get him to submit first. 
Taking a step closer, you grabbed his shoulders to connect your lips fervently. You closed your eyes not to see him, but you felt his, wide open in shock. Pushing you back gently, Donghyuck broke the kiss, staring right at you, astonished. “What did you just do?” he let out in a strange voice that you never heard him use. He sounded confused, but most importantly, he was visibly lacking confidence. You had succeeded at weakening him.
His gaze travelled from the ground to your face, which he stared at for a moment, breathing audibly, before he grabbed both of your arms and pulled you against him in another kiss. He moved his lips against yours feverishly and squeezed the flesh of your arms way too hard, but as horrifying as this may sound, it wasn’t so terrible. Kissing Donghyuck was nothing like what you had imagined, and if you had drank more of that wine earlier, you might have admitted that you liked it. Without realizing it, both of you had melted into each other’s embrace, and you kissed for several minutes. When you pulled away for air, you still looked at each other with animosity, you weren’t lovers, you were rivals, you had always been, but for once, you were actually on the same level.
“So, are we going to do it?” he asked, out of breath. You chuckled, letting your guard down for once, “You really don’t know how to do this, do you?” Letting you go, he threw himself on the bed, “You know what, since it is what you came here for, and you are so experienced, show me what you are capable of.” He said, putting his hands behind his head in a laid-back manner. You climbed on the bed with him, kneeling next to his body. With your breath held, you slowly untied the ropes of his shirt, as if you had no mastery over your actions. Oh, you were going to show him.
Judging that you were taking too long, he took out his shirt and every garment underneath, himself, before pushing you onto him. You do not know what took over you, but as you were laying on top of his naked chest, you kissed him once again. It was so much better like this. With his soft lips on yours, when he couldn’t get to talk. It was addictive. He tasted like honey, and he was so much more likeable in this position. Not breaking the kiss, Donghyuck managed to loosen your dress, exposing the skin of your shoulders to his hungry eyes. He was letting out breathy moans between kisses and began to mindlessly rut his hips into yours. 
Suddenly, he pushed you down on the mattress so you were laying on your stomach. Your first reaction was to laugh at the brutality of his action. “Oh please, don’t act like you know what you are doing.” You sneered. “You know, I haven’t quite made up my mind about you talking back,” he said, hovering over you, straddling the back of your thighs, “I don’t know if I hate it, or if I secretly enjoy it.” Without you paying much attention to it, a smile drew on your face. Maybe you finally found a way to fight without it being too unpleasant… 
Now that you were back to him, he was all over your neck, kissing it as if you were lovers. Lifting your skirt, he reached for your garments and pulled them down. You were starting to get dizzy, you did not mind being exposed to him like that right now, his kisses made up for everything, somehow. You heard him pull his pants down enough to free his hard cock and a shiver ran down your spine when you felt his length against your entrance. “Do not worry, I may be an amateur, but I know the basic theory on the subject.” he chuckled, sliding it against your wet folds for lubrication. It was almost embarrassing how excited his ministrations had gotten you, an hour ago you couldn’t stand the thought of his very existence. 
Slowly, he entered you with a loud groan, you had to remind yourself that the feeling was new to him. Your walls stretched around him and the sensation of him inside you was far from as disagreeable as you had imagined it. In fact, when he began to thrust into you, which he did not long after bottoming out for the first time, you found yourself gripping the sheets and holding back whimpers. Despite his lack of experience, you made so much fun of, you had to acknowledge that Donghyuck was naturally skilled at it. His movements were smooth and sharp at the same time, and if you weren’t focusing, your head would already be spinning.
The room quickly became steamy, and you were beginning to forget yours despise of each other. Releasing your lip from your teeth, you allowed yourself to sigh and moan as loud as you needed to. After all, Donghyuck himself was everything but quiet. It seemed like he had given up on his pride, at last. He was crying out for the whole palace to hear and gripped your waist for dear life. 
“Tell me you love me.” he panted in your ear. As good as he was making you feel, you could never say that. You hoped that your whimpers would be enough answer to his demand, but he squeezed your waist harder and repeated,“ Please, tell me.” His voice had cracked and he sounded miserable. Maybe he was not making fun of you after all. Grabbing his face from behind, you pushed his head closer to yours, connecting your lips in a desperate kiss. This would have to be enough. 
Donghyuck breathed heavily through his nose, leaning in, impossibly close to you. The kiss was a mix of frustration, neediness, and maybe, something else, but you figured it was in your best interest not to question it too much. When he pulled out to plunge his head into the crook of your neck, his thrusts became even more erratic. You could tell he was coming closer to the edge, but a little voice in your head was screaming that you needed to see this, or perhaps you just craved watching him lose it. 
So you managed to remove him from behind you and pushed him onto his back. He watched you intently as you removed your dress and everything you wore for good, exposing your naked body to him. The snarky remarks a part of you still expected never came. He gazed at your figure for a moment and eventually fumbled with his own clothing. When you were both naked in front of each other, you took a moment to take in the other’s appearance. You never appreciated at their true value, his gold-like skin, and the delicacy of his features, but now you did. He was, indeed, as handsome as he had always bragged about being.
And it took him to look like a mess, his lips swollen and his eyes half-lidded, for you to finally feel tenderness for him. You pitied him. He had always acted like he was above everyone else, when in reality he felt desperately alone and was pathetic enough to beg you to tell him sweet words. Yet, deep down, you could neither forget, nor totally forgive what he had made you go through all these years, and for that, he did not deserve your mercy. 
Grabbing his wrists, you straddled his lap and held his hands above his head, on the headboard. Sinking down on his length, you let out a breathy moan, not only of pleasure but of pure thrill and victory, as you were finally the one looking down at him. You began to move, this new position quickly proving itself to be more pleasurable than the previous one. He was able to reach deeper and your walls were clenching around him, in a way that was driving him crazy. 
You rode him as if it was a way for you to let out all the frustration he had made you feel in years. His eyes were tight shut and he was biting on his bottom lip hard enough to draw blood. You couldn’t get your eyes off him. You had not realized it before but this was everything you ever dreamt of, to see him like this, at your mercy. 
Droplets of sweat were rolling down between your breasts and shoulder blades. Heat radiated through your burning bodies, and the room was filled with your moans and whimpers. Donghyuck had lost it long ago, maybe if you stopped your movements just for a minute, you would see the tears forming in the corner of his eyes, but you could not. 
You bounced frantically above him, and he was thrusting upwards to meet your hips, it was no different from your regular quarrels. Both of you had something to prove to the other. And you were pleased to finally win in a field. He was clenching his fists and you could see the muscles of his abdomen contract. Letting out a cry that was music to your ears, he came inside of you, his arms trying hard to release themselves from your hold. You felt him twitching between your walls, which got you closer to the edge yourself, and you continued to chase your high as he was experiencing his. 
A few rolls of your hips later, your whole body froze, all your muscles tensing, and you let go of his wrists to claw at the skin of his chest. All the tension inside of you snapped, and at that moment, when the wave of pleasure washed through you, you swore you did not hate Donghyuck anymore. Your view turned blank for an instant, and you let out a raspy groan as you came around him. When you had released them, his hands immediately went to grab your thighs, and Donghyuck was now helping you grind on his lap. 
When the stimulation became too much and your moans turned into cries, he released your thighs and laid you down on your back. He snuggled close to your side, watching your face closely and drawing figures on your belly with the tip of his fingers, and whispered, “What have you done to me? Now I have never been so sure about not wanting to marry.”

I have notice that you are giving the kwamis different and more uniques personalities. How you imagened their unique emotions and how they react with the holders?
For sure, there are very few instances where the Zodiac Kwami get to show their individualism except for Sass or when they briefly interact with their new holders, so I really grabbed on to any little bit I could see and held tight.
Mullo - In the story of the Chinese Zodiac, the Rat rides the Ox and jumps off at the last minute in order to arrive first, so I thought it'd make sense for Mullo to be mischievous - also because Marinette uses it first for some cheeky misdirection. I got lucky that Mullo turned out to be a bit of a prankster when "Mega Leech" came out.
Stompp - As one of the Leftover 4, Stompp didn't get a lot of expression when they were shown in "PenalTeam", but I kinda ended up working with how calm they were. The way they addressed Chloe not knowing the kwamis names gave her a Disapproving Mother vibe, so I went with them being a nurturer. I picture them wanting to watch over their holder, particularly children ones, and watch them grow into full grown Oxes.
Roarr - So this one was easy cuz they've been very consistent in the show, and since the kwamis default to loud and bratty when they're in Mob Mode (ie, when all the kwamis act in sync instead of in line with their personalities), Roarr was simply a too rambunctious child. An extrovert to the extreme. Their name is very appropriate.
Fluff - This one is pretty established in canon, so I guess I'll just extend my headcanon. Fluff is easily confused and babbles a lot, and I think it's because they're being constantly bombarded with information from so many timelines. Existence is a prison and Fluff just comes across as dumb because all their brain power is overheating from a massive influx of information, so they have nothing else to offer in the Present.
Longg - "Ikari Gozen" makes them out to be a Long Winded Old Man/Woman (depending on the dub lol), but aside from them being pretty polite later, they don't hold on to it. I am. Longg is old as shit and just wants these damn kids to hear out their long ass stories, but they just don't know how to edit because it's been forever since they've been out of the box (a nod to how Dragons are now "mythical"). They don't know how to talk to the youngins anymore.
Sass - Okay, c'mon, we all know Sass. Sass is the only one we know definitively. They're the leader and being level headed and calm is the thing that distinguishes him from the rest. He is mildly cursed like Fluff to recall every remade time line, remembering what happened the other times that needed a second chance, but it's less of a burden than it is for Fluff.
Kaalki - I opted to lean in to her being a Diva, obviously thanks to her attitude in "Startrain". You'd think that'd clash with Max, so the struggle was more about making them work together despite that, so I also gave her a fascination with innovation. She's not very technologically literate, but she's interested in what humans have been able to do, especially when it comes to exploration. But in the end, she's still pretty vain lol.
Ziggy - since they were very upset at how mean Chloe was in "Miracle Queen" as opposed to angry like Stompp and Roarr, I felt Ziggy was probably younger and a bit sensitive. I also leaned into some goat traits, having them eat paper and headbutt Nathaniel.
Xuppu - Xuppu can easily become very annoying, especially in "Destruction" where they're trying to be helpful, but uhhhh...they aren't. So I just stuck with how they were portrayed in their canon debut episode. Like Roarr, Xuppu is very much like A Child, so even in Mob Mode they feel in character - getting into stuff and making a mess.
Orikko - I made them very patient, which you gotta be when your powers are bullshit and you constantly have to give a tutorial on how they work. They could talk all day with their holder trying to find loopholes.
Barkk - So they have two standout moments where they're allowed individuality - in "Furious Fu" and "Risk". In the former, they are stubbornly staying behind to guard the house and the Miracle Box, and in the latter, they're super excited at getting a new holder and getting to "play". So both a guard dog and a puppy. I met in the middle where they DO really want to play, but also want everyone to be as excited as them which takes a little coaxing. Like an Extrovery adopting Introverts.
Daizzi - They're just very sweet. Almost just like Rose but soft spoken. They feel very much but like to focus on the things they like, no matter how simple they are.

hello!! I hope you are feeling well!! can i ask for headcanons madara and tobirama with f!reader who is a very strong kunoichi, equal in strength to them? but at the same time she is very affectionate with them. thank you in advance!!
A/N: I am having a good energy day today so I am good thank you! I hope you are well too. Oh absolutely! This is actually my favourite kind of s/o to write for them. Not that I can't imagine them with a non-fighter s/o it's just this is my favourite kind of dynamic to write for these two. Including the affection too haha. Thanks for the request.
TAGS: relationship headcanons, fluff, general dynamics, shinobi reader, affectionate reader, flirting, kissing
CHARACTERS: Madara Uchiha, Tobirama Senju
MADARA UCHIHA
This gremlin? ohohoho. Alright here we go.
For him strength is quite the turn on. He sees you kicking someones ass or taking someone down and that's the moment he's down bad. Madara is attracted to you immediately.
Bonus points if you can banter with him too THAT really gets him hooked. Strong AND can hold your own against him with your quick wit?
Be still his beating heart. Probably says that out loud.
Chases you from the moment he sees you if it's village timeline. If it's pre village he's internally suffering over the "enemy" he's longing for into the late evenings.
You might be on opposing sides but his nights are filled with your interactions.
He's tossing and turning constantly.
Those interactions run through his head and he's tormented by the fact you'll never be his but still he longs for you. He craves you. He has to have you~
The interactions the two of you have are heated.
Fights where the two of you battle for dominance, cutting each other with honeyed words in a cloud of lust.
It was hard to tell if he was fighting you or flirting with you. Injuries were had but none dyer or ever resulting in serious consequences.
Then came the day you forced him onto his back, weapon kicked away and arms pined beside his head. Both of you panting. The tension palpable.
The way you to stared at each other, pupils dilated—it couldn't be seen as disdain or hate but something else.
That's when the two of you kissed.
You weren't really sure who leant in first. The two of you met in the middle. Both of you wanting this from the beginning.
Your lips sweet on his. He couldn't help but wanting more as he pushed, pushed, pushed further into the—oh his hands were in your hair now—when did your hands release him?
The two of you together are a couple of insatiable gremlins. He's just as affectionate although he does attempt to keep it in check in public.
The second his jealousy is kicked into gear though or his possessiveness kicks in so does his physical affection.
If you are in anyway the same it only spurs him on too.
You kiss him in public? He's smirking like a show for the around onlookers after.
It's to say 'Yeah this is my s/o.'
Always pushing into your touch the second you're reaching for him.
Take his chin in your hand and pull his face (tug that bitch) toward you. Make him wait (he's not patient but make him be it's fun) and gently brush you lips against his to keep him wanting.
It's a good way to make him melt and rile him up.
There's also the gentle moments. The absent minded touches. The two of you always seem to have a hand on each other. Resting on a thigh, the small of the back, head resting on a shoulder.
Physical affection in private can be a little more playful. Just bite his shoulder and he'll not even think twice about it. 'May I help you?' or 'And what do I owe this pleasure?' Yes, biting his shoulder amuses him, ergo pleasure lmao.
Kind of gets an ego boost seeing all the different sides of you.
TOBIRAMA SENJU
Honestly? Tobirama NEEDS someone who can kick his ass. Whether that be verbally or physically it doesn't matter as long as you call him out on his shit.
The fact you are on the same physical level as him as a shinobi is just a bonus (and he won't admit it in a hundred years but he's turned on~)
You've got to play it smart with the affection and not come on too fast too soon. Honestly, in general with all things with Tobirama you can't come on too fast.
He's like a gentle current, flowing steadily along the stream until suddenly he's a powerful waterfall crashing down (yeah that's him falling for you–steadily then all at once)
At first the affection is going to be a point of discomfort for him.
One, because he's not used to it and two, he's not sure why he keeps thinking about it. The feel of your touch, wondering about the meaning behind it.
It makes him so frustrated because you've become a distraction and somewhat a fixation for him–pulling him from important priorities.
it's not long before he pushes that logic aside though.
He starts longing for more of your touch, expecting it and seeking it out. More and more. It's all he can think about.
Those small touches of affection are things that get him through the day and the warmth he begins to crave.
He tolerates them now.
Tobirama runs cold and by nature seeks out warmth. Finds his hands soothed when yours envelop his. The same when your hand finds his cheek. It takes everything not to press into it. Sometimes he lets himself (just a little) and mostly when he's exhausted.
Craves physical affection.
Touch starved.
Will almost never seek out your touch so you intiating physical affection is the perfect balance.
Just kind of leans into your hold whenever you reach out. Like a magnet to your warmth. Whole body presses against you when he's exhausted, that's your cue to pull him close and gently stroke your fingertips up and down his back.
Put each hand on his cheeks and stroke them. When he relaxes thats the time to catch him off guard (not really he's always on guard but he's more relaxed) and pull him in and kiss him. Long drawn out kisses that leave him longing.
These moment give him a little more energy. They allow you to see those rare small smiles.
Tobirama also really values your opinion on things regarding shinobi life and village life in general.
Will ask your input on things and involve you on village matters (sometimes just to spend more time with you) other times simply because its important to him.
Post policy discussion make outs at home once you come to a conclusion of how to strengthen the village. Holding him tight and kissing him hard.
Tobirama is very into you in these moments.
It may take a little time for Tobirama to adjust to the affection but it is something he grows to not only love but take comfort in. He appreciates your strength and affection in equal parts.

something i’ve been thinking about recently is the disability movement and its stringent focus on disability being something that doesn’t need correction. ie: cochlear implants bad. i understand the frustration with disabled people being considered broken people who need fixing (wrong) but what i don’t understand is the mostly young and/or mostly those who are born disabled valuing the community over cure. i think this sort of leaves out a massive chunk of disabled people: the elderly. i work with elderly disabled people every single day. the number of post-stroke patients i have seen made homeless by their disability is disheartening. and you can argue that is a product of a poor system, but even with endless supplies of equipment some of these people (some as young as their 50s and 60s) end up in long term care. this is a societal problem as a whole, but one that we won’t fix in the next two, three, four, ten decades. these older people are find themselves suddenly disabled are very nearly silenced by a community who is supposed to be accepting them. these people do not want to be disabled and it’s not generally due to a negative view of disability but to the knowledge that they are in the last few years of their lives and suddenly they are alone. suddenly a 90yo cannot move her arm anymore. suddenly a 60yo cannot work anymore (and thus support himself or his elderly mother, of whom he is a caregiver). i am disabled in many ways, so i understand the knee jerk reaction to vehemently oppose anything that even inadvertently frames me as someone who needs to be “cured”, but my 60yo meningitis patient who is suddenly deaf and flaccid on one side of her body may not agree. and she’s just as disabled and just as valid — and if she wants a cure then i think that’s ok. obviously this is nuanced and there are legitimate questionable circumstances in which “curing” a disability is icky (see: babies whose parents subject them to cochlear implants before they’re old enough to give consent) but my point still stands. i think we leave these people in the dust.

What are your headcanons for Athena’s relationship and dynamic with her godly siblings?
I’m gonna preface this with Athena has a looooot of siblings due to Zeus being, y’know, Zeus, so I’m only going to talk about the Olympians. Don’t worry that’s still six Gods, relationships and dynamics and for some of them, I’ve got a lot to say.
AND I AM SO HYPE TO TALK ABOUT THIS I WAS KICKING MY FEET GETTING THIS ASK SO THANK YOU ANON!!
So who will I be going over in this. They are:
- Artemis
- Apollo
- Dionysus
- Hermes
- Hephaestus
- Ares
Artemis🏹:
They definitely get on well, both being trained in fighting, stamina and strategy, both being virgin goddesses. Their main issues are that Athena is very much so city and Artemis is very much so not city, but not so much so for either that it causes some drama. They’re dynamic can be described as very chill, they get along well together and are friends.
Apollo☀️:
Similar to his sister Apollo gets along well enough with Athena, but they do have a bit more drama than Artemis and Athena. The Trojan war mainly is a point of some bad feeling between the two but they’re polite enough that they can get along well enough together. In terms of dynamic it’s basically like two siblings that moved far away from each other and when they meet up on Christmas they’re just like “So, how’s college?” “I have three kids and a diploma.” “Oh yeah.” Not besties but they can get on well enough.
Dionysus🍷:
Now I do have a few interesting points here. One, Dionysus’ wife Ariadne was abandoned by Theseus, the hero of Athens, so it’s likely a point of some contention between the two. Though I don’t think they’re enemies, Athena is very stressed Dionysus is just never stressed he probably helps her out, I saw somewhere the idea that Athena goes to Dionysus’ bar to relax and I think that’s pretty cool, if anyone knows who that came from please tell me and I’ll edit this post to credit them! Dynamic, youngest and oldest. Chill and super stressed.
Hermes🪽:
(Don’t question the blue I don’t know how the fuck you get other colours.) Joined by their fellow connection for diplomacy they likely get along well. Hermes is described as a diplomat in the Odyssey when going to Calypso’s island to tell her Zeus orders her to release Odysseus. Athena for obvious reasons will get along well with someone who often acts as a diplomat and messenger, and their shared helping out of Odysseus definitely helps. But… as an underdog Hermes is often characterised as a prankster of sorts. And pranksters love rule followers, which Athena is. She’s likely the subject of many of his pranks, much to her displeasure, but she’s patient and can often put up with him. Though she will sometimes snap.
In terms of dynamic its low energy and high energy siblings. Pretty simple.
Now… the big two.
Hephaestus🔥:
(Again ignore the colour pls, I’m saving red for Ares.) Well… Hephaestus… yeah… I don’t think they’re friends. Obviously. Hephaestus’ attempt to assault Athena is quite frankly disgusting. Not only is she clearly not into him or wanting that but there’s no way to think she is when she’s a virgin goddess. I can’t make any jokes here, it’s not funny. Maybe after a few millennia she’d potentially partially forgive him, she’d go to his forge when necessary herself instead of sending someone else, but the idea of them being close friends ever again is not something I think possible.
Dynamic? Siblings that cut contact. I’ll leave it at that.
Ares🗡️:
Alright! Last one! Let’s do it!
Their relationship is in my opinion very interesting. They are naturally enemies in many ways, god of violent warfare and goddess of strategic warfare. They are opposed. But I think that there’s a lot more to it.
Athena is Zeus’ favourite. She’s the perfect child, the golden child. Ares is Zeus’ least favourite child, for not much reason either. Athena didn’t choose to be the favourite and Ares doesn’t deserve to be treated the way he is, and this all cumulates into a divide between the two, a wedge in a relationship that didn’t even get a chance to form. They have their moments, one helping the other rarely. They hold resentment to each other, but still are siblings.
I’d call their dynamic the golden child and the shadow. Athena is a beloved war goddess and Ares will always be in her shadow, and I hate that. He deserves better, they both deserved to be siblings.
With that I have now gone over the relationships and dynamics of Athena and each of her siblings on Olympus! Remember these are my personal opinions! You do not have to agree with me, that’s perfectly fine. Thank you for the ask and I’m sorry if it’s taken a while to get back to you!

mary & george feature in tv & satellite magazine. airs in the uk on tuesday (5th) at 9pm on sky atlantic & sky showcase. boxset will be available on sky boxsets/NOW.
text under the cut
Hollywood star Julianne Moore adopts her best English accent this week when she plays Mary Villiers, a mother-of-four determined to secure her family's future, in Sky's seven-part drama Mary & George.
When she learns that King James (Tony Curran) is in a sexual relationship with his adviser, the Earl of Somerset (Laurie Davidson), Mary realises she could gain considerable power and influence if her son George (Nicholas Galitzine) becomes the King's new favourite.
'Mary is from a kind of middling aristocratic family,’ explains Moore, 'She's living in less-than-ideal circumstances, looking for a way to educate her children and keep herself alive. The only way she's really able to do that is through her relationships with powerful men.’
After sending George to France to learn refinement, Mary endeavours to get him noticed - and King James is soon enamoured with the handsome young man.
'At the beginning, the relationship is very transactional for George’, explains Galitzine, 29. 'I don't think he develops feelings for James until a few months, perhaps years, into the relationship. George definitely has something to gain, but the love is very much real between them.'
Although the King is aware of the power games being played around him, he finds it refreshing that George comes from outside the usual circles of the royal court.
‘James is comfortable when hes in the company of his lovers - he wants to forget about being a king,’ says Curran, 54. ‘He wants that distraction of feeling safe with another person, as opposed to lords and politicians constantly grabbing at him, wanting him to make decisions about affairs of state.’
OUTRAGEOUS TRUESTORY
The series is based on the nonfiction book The King's Assassin by Benjamin Woolley, and Moore was drawn to the project by the way Mary seemed ahead of her time.
‘There was something outrageous and direct about her’, says Moore, who won a Best Actress Oscar in 2015 for her role as an early onset Alzheimer's patient in Still Alice. 'She seemed to have her own desire for power and agency in a situation where she might possibly have none. It's interesting what she achieved at a time when women couldn't even own property.’
The cast also includes Trine Dyrholm as Queen Anne of Denmark, Niamh Algar as Mary's confidante, prostitute Sandie, and Nicola Walker as the Queen's lady-in-waiting Lady Hatton.
Mary & George's salty language and revealing sex scenes may surprise some viewers, but the stars believe it reflects the earthy instincts of its characters as they grapple for power.
"The sensuality in the show isn't crass in any way, says Curran. 'It was certainly interesting for me. I'd ask the producers, "What am I wearing today?" and theyd reply, “Your birthday suit, pal!"’
'It's not a typical period drama because of the licence it takes with behaviours and sexuality,’ agrees Moore. 'It's beautiful and opulent and a wildly entertaining romp through history.’

Hi! I’m here for a matchup!
I’m a bi girl who loves science, art, music, antiques, and animals! I am very outgoing and like to express my love through both actions and words, and I like partners that take romance slow. I like people who are both smart and caring, and I want someone who likes parallel play and spending time together doing even the most mundane chores. I’m a pretty patient person and I want someone who will appreciate me! And of course, I like cuddles and walks together, I like sappy romantic stuff 😅 Thank you and happy holidays!
Matchup
I pair you with…
Tumblr media
~ Hope you have a happy holidays as well! Stay safe and warm!! :)
~ Okay! So Alastor is the definition of slow burn. I feel like putting a name on the type of relationships he has is low priority. Once he begins to gain feelings, it's slow and gradual, and even once he recognizes them he doesn't define them with words. He'll continue with whatever dynamic you two have and develop, completely content without ever actually explicitly stating it's romantic. It's the type of relationship that's obviously romantic, but he doesn't feel the need to label it, so he leaves that to you if it's something important to you and is welcome to accept whatever label you see fit.
~ Shares your interest in art, music, and antiques. Would love sharing things that are central to his time period when alive.
~ A favourite date of Alastor's would definitely be seeing musicals or live theatres. Would love seeing movies, but prefers seeing things live as opposed to on a screen.
~ Since Alastor died in the 1930s, he has a different approach to dating. Not much PDA, and affection is more often received in private.
~ Alastor's very big on expressing his love through actions as opposed to words or explicit acts or romance. Love language is definitely acts of service. Alastor remembers things you've told him only once, makes efforts to understand things you like, and will get things for you that you've mentioned or just remind him or you.
~ Overall, he's slow, old school, and a sappy romantic.
I pair you with…
Tumblr media
~ Vaggie is someone who is very slow trusting. She would be the ultimate slow burn, but once she’s fallen for someone it’s kinda the trope person a fell first but person b fell harder? Totally feeling that here.
~ I can see Vaggie as someone who's really happy about the mundane. Doing chores, cooking side by side, even getting groceries. She's just content to be spending time with them, and doesn't mind what it is.
~ On that note, definitely a big fan of parallel play. Vaggie is big on peaceful coexistence, love language is a mix of quality time and words of affirmation.
~ I feel like your patience would be super compatible with her. Vaggie pairs well with someone who keeps a level head because of her short temper. She's often reactive and defensive, but I'd imagine you keep her grounded.
~ Sappy when it comes to romantic gestures. Loves cuddles and walks, and especially really intimate or mundane dates. Dates at home are her favourite. Would definitely surprise you with a candle lit home made dinner after a long day.
I pair you with…
Tumblr media
~ Side note: I was going to include Stolas in this lineup, I feel like you’re really compatible, but I chose to slide him into the additional pairing instead of Husk because you preferred Hazbin. If you’d like me to pick up your matchup again and write you a pairing for Stolas as well I’d be more than happy once matchups are reopened! :)
~ I’m a sucker for introvert and extrovert tropes. You being outgoing and really open about your love for him is a really cool contrast with his laid back, often introverted approach to things.
~ It’s also kind of like the sunshine and grump trope?
~ I spoke about it in this post a long time back, but his canon dialogue style makes me go back and forth with the grump trope for Husk. Can totally see it, but he uses every dialogue to express an emotion. While he’s a grump, I can see him in a relationship being sappy and genuinely saying loving things to his partner, even if he’s a man of few words.
~ Seems like Husk is the grump to your sunshine to outsiders, but you see him more as a friendly giant.
~ On that note, Husk’s love language is words of affirmation and acts of service.
~ Husk is similar to Alastor in the sense that he doesn’t need labels to be comfortable with you. Husk would accept whatever label you’d like, but he understands his feelings, and that’s enough. He loves you and everyone knows it, so he wouldn’t rush to put a label on anything himself because he’s already comfortable with your dynamic. However, if you were to label it, he would be open to it.
Additional pairing…
Stolas

Nesta ends IC part 11
Nesta woke up the next morning in Eris’s arms.
She let her fingers wander across the broad planes of his bare chest, and it was at that point that she realized she was naked.
They were both naked, actually. And what had happened the previous day came flying back into her memory.
Holy shit-
Relax, she told herself. It’s just sex. It’s not a big deal.
But that was the problem. It was a big deal, to Nesta at least. She had no idea how he felt, but she knew it hadn’t been mere desire that had drawn her to him.
She was afraid. The feelings were coming too hard, too fast. They hadn’t even known each other for very long, yet it felt like Nesta had known him her whole life. But she had trusted Cassian. And he had broken her heart. He had helped them chain her to that bed. How did she know Eris wouldn’t be the same?
She went to leave the house before he woke up, but hesitated. Against her better instincts, she found herself hesitating to leave him. It felt as though if she left now, she would be ending something before it even began. She cursed her stupid heart for wanting to be with him so badly. The timing might be bad but… he was so right for her. It just felt right to be with him. She wanted him so badly it hurt.
So, against her better judgement, she walked back to him. She found he was sitting up in bed, blanket over his legs, hair mussed up just the right amount, so he looked rakish rather than shabby. He smiled lazily at her, and Cauldron help her, but he was the most beautiful male she had ever seen. And she came up close to him and whispered seductively in his ear, “You are going to kill Beron. And I am going to help you.”
Eris shuddered. “You should’ve led with that, sweetheart,” he crooned. “If you had, I’d have been on my knees in seconds.”
Her core heated, but she laughed against his ear. “You can always get down now.”
His eyes glimmered as fire rose to his eyes in feral delight. “As the lady wishes.”
Lucien’s POV Lucien had a headache that came and went.
That headache also had a name: Tamlin.
Lucien was getting really tired of trying to get his former friend to pull himself up by his bootstraps and do his goddamn job. He understood he was heartbroken about Feyre, but by the Cauldron, Lucien had not been this pathetic when his Jesminda had died. A sharp stab of pain always followed the thought of the faerie who had conquered his heart all those years ago. It was his fault she had died. His fault his fault his fault.
The female that he had loved with all of his heart- but was not his mate. Even though he had no control over that, he still felt guilty about it sometimes. And wondered how his mate could be someone who could barely stand to be around him most of the time as opposed to the woman who had seduced him so thoroughly, he hadn’t wanted anyone but her. Seventh son of the High Lord of the Autumn Court and a whole lot of nothing. Not even a legitimate son of his. Just the son he had been forced to raise as his own, to hide the fact that his wife had cheated on him with another High Lord.
A part of Lucien had always known he was different. He had always felt out of place, wherever he went. And when he had broken that spell in Hybern, he had known for sure. As for Tamlin, Lucien had no idea if he knew. He guessed that with his warrior instincts and observational skills, he might have some idea, but…Lucien had always been Tamlin’s one braincell. So, it was difficult to know.
Cauldron boil him, he was tired of being patient. His head was about to explode with the amount of restraint he had been showing: controlling himself around Feyre, who was recently traumatized again, controlling himself around his mate, leashing all the instincts that urged him to claim, controlling himself around Tamlin, who was about one bad meal away from killing himself or killing Lucien, whichever he thought was easier. Oh, yeah, and around Eris, his vicious older brother who had somehow wormed his way back into his life. One of these days, Lucien was gonna throw hands. At whom was going to be decided at the moment he lost it. “Why do you even stick around?” Tamlin grumbled. “You’ve made no mistake you hate it here.”
“Because somebody has got to make you do your job,” Lucien said. He knew he was pushing it. One time, Tamlin had been ranting about Feyre and Rhysand and Lucien had finally had enough and told him to get his stick out of his ass. Tamlin had punched him, giving him a black eye.
Lucien knew he could fight back. But Tamlin was emotionally broken. He was this close to losing it entirely, and Lucien fighting back might just push him over the edge. Lucien blamed Rhysand. He had come over and rubbed everything in his face, making his job so much harder. And now Rhysand was dead, and Lucien’s mate was essentially ruling the Night Court.
While he was essentially ruling the Spring Court.
Everything was so complicated now.
Tamlin abruptly stood up. “You know what, Lucien? Since you want it so badly, why don’t you become High Lord, hm? I never wanted this stupid job, anyway. You were always better at this shit than me.
Lucien blinked. “That’s not how it works. The land chose you, and-“
“The land chose you too!” Tamlin shouted. His magic rattled the house. “How else do you think you were able to complete the Calanmai rite! You’re a High Lord! You know it! You’ve always known it!”
So, he did know, at least to an extent, about Lucien. He expected so. He knew him very well, having lived with him for so long.
“Well?” Tamlin said. “Do you want it? My job?” He snarled at Lucien.
Lucien didn’t back down an inch. “It would certainly be easier than this back-and-forth thing we have going on.”
Lucien expected more aggression, but instead, Tamlin slumped in his seat. “Then take it.”
“What?”
“I’m abdicating the throne. You can rule this court. I don’t want it. I just want to find peace. And in this position, I’ll never find peace. Never.”
“I’m pretty sure you can’t abdicate. Not unless you die.”
Tamlin said quietly, “Are you sure about that?” He shoved a mirror under Lucien’s nose.
And a familiar ring of power surrounded him. The aura of a newly crowned High Lord.
“You were always the better of us, Lucien,” Tamlin said. “You deserve this.” And then he walked away. Simply strode right into the forest. His shapeshifting abilities were gone; Lucien could feel it. And he wondered if this meant that Lucien could now shapeshift. So, he tried to. Simply willed himself to turn into a different form. He watched as his fingers turned into claws, his hair into fur, his arms into forelegs. He looked at his reflection and found a beast staring back.
Not just any beast. A fox.
Elain’s POV Elain instantly knew something was different when she saw Lucien again.
She couldn’t pinpoint why exactly, she felt that way. But she did. Perhaps it was the fact that his hair shone a little brighter, or his eyes simmered a little more. Perhaps it was the way he carried himself, taller and prouder. Perhaps it was the slightly deeper timbre of his voice, or the slight aura she could’ve sworn she saw surrounding him. It was subtle, but for Elain, she felt the difference as starkly as black and white.
So as Lucien was giving updates for all the courts, Elain found herself asking him, “Did something happen to you?”
Lucien raised a brow, unnerving metal eye narrowing on her. “Why do you ask?” “Nothing. You just seem…different. Stronger.”
Lucien sighed. “I guess there’s no point of hiding it. If you haven’t heard it yet, you surely will soon. After a tumultuous series of events, I am now the High Lord of Spring.”
Elain sucked in a breath. Her mate…was now a High Lord. Oh my god. But did that mean… “Is Tamlin dead?”
Lucien shook his head. “He abdicated. Practically shoved his throne down my throat.” He offered a weak smile, which Elain returned. “I didn’t even know that it was possible to give up the throne like that. Without dying.”
“Neither did I,” Lucien said. He was definitely stronger. Elain could feel the power rippling off of him in waves. “But I’m a bit relieved, to be honest. He was a serious pain in my ass. Would you believe me if I told you, it’ll be easier to be High Lord than deal with him?”
Elain laughed lightly. Lucien smiled, more genuinely this time. And damn if it didn’t make Elain’s heart flutter a little. But Lucien only bowed and said, “Now that the news is out that Tamlin is gone, the Spring Court is becoming more populated again. And now that I’m a High Lord…well I will no longer be able to serve as emissary to the Night Court. So, I won’t be seeing you as often.”
Elain’s heart sank. She couldn’t deny the crushing disappointment that just shoved into her. She wanted to go with him so badly. But how could she leave her sister now?
He lifted her hand to his lips then smiled sadly at her. “Farewell, my lady.”
Elain watched him walk away.
“I was sure you would go with him this time,” came a voice from behind her.
Elain turned around to find Feyre looking at her, eyes clear, Parikshit in her arms. “Why do you resist? I know you want to.”
“You need me,” Elain replied.
Feyre snorted. “No, I don’t.”
“But-“
“Elain, you have done a wonderful job. You’ve kept this place together. You’ve even helped find suitable replacements for the vacancies that were left. You looked after my own child for 2 weeks. You’ve done more than enough. I can handle this. Go with him, if that’s what you wish.”
“Are you serious?” Elain scrutinized Feyre and found…purpose there. Something she hadn’t seen in a long time.
“I’ll be ok,” Feyre said, smiling. “I’m not alone.” And to Elain’s surprise, three or four ladies she recognized as Valkyries came around and stepped next to her. It was answer enough. So, Elain turned and ran to Lucien.
“Wait!”
Lucien stilled, turning to look at her. “Elain?” he said quietly.
“Take me with you,” she said.
Lucien blinked. “You wish to go…with me?”
“That’s what I said.”
Lucien snorted. “Well, you can’t blame me for being skeptical.”
“Well consider this confirmation, My Lord.”
Lucien shuddered. “By the Cauldron, don’t call me that. That makes me sound so old.”
Elain laughed. “Aren’t you? Old?”
Lucien winced. “Shit, Elain. I’m not that old.”
“Still old, though.”
Lucien rolled his eyes. “You Archerons are all the same. The first time Feyre had a civil conversation with me, she asked if I fought in the war.”
“And? Did you?”
“What did I just say? I’m not that old! Oh, you’re teasing,” he realized suddenly as he saw the gleam in Elain’s eyes. He laughed. “I’m going to get you back for that.”
“We’ll see about that, My Lord.”
Nesta’s POV
“Did you hear about your brother?” Nesta asked, hand absentmindedly wandering up Eris’s arm. Eris’s youngest brother, Lucien, had recently taken over as High Lord of the Spring Court.
Eris snorted. “Of course, I did. What do you take me for? A peasant?”
Nesta rolled her eyes. “And if I were to say yes?”
Suddenly, Eris was hovering over her. The breath whooshed out of her as she took in his heat and closeness. “I must be really good at sex if a queen is willing to sully herself to a peasant like me.”
Nesta smirked. “Isn’t that all you pretty boys are good for?”
“I think you’ll find that I’m a male of many talents, Nesta Archeron.”
That he was. But she would never say that. Nesta only stared him down. Then she shoved him off her. “So how are we planning on killing Beron. Just waltz through the front door?”
Eris chuckled. “As if. He’s so paranoid, there are enough soldiers guarding that house to form an army. And they’re highly trained, too.”
“Ugh. Well, if you wrong that many people, I’d be paranoid too. I imagine he has many enemies.”
Eris smirked at that. “Yes. I’m his son, and he doesn’t trust me. But he trusts you even less, so you need a really good reason to be there, especially by my side.”
Nesta raised a brow. “I’m assuming you have a plan?”
Eris grinned. “How do you feel about playing my fiancé?”

are you gonna update TDIAG anytime soon 😭
Hiii.
So, short answer: probably not for a few weeks.
Long answer:
There’s a few different reasons why TDIAG updates have fallen behind.
1. TDIAG is a long fic. And by that, I mean it’s a LOOOONG fic. By now, it’s somewhere over 100,000 words (I believe it’s around 120K or close), with each part being at least 10-20K. The parts for this fic generally take a long time to write, simply because the bar that has been set for each part is a high word count. The basis on which readers consume and writers produce is drastically different, so what may take only a few hours for someone to read has taken me numerous days to write. That being said, it’s really easy to get burnt out writing a lengthy fic where the content is very, very similar in every chapter. TDIAG consists of (mostly) smut, and writing 15,000+ word sex scenes again and again between the same two characters can become really repetitive
2. Also, life is really hectic for me outside of this platform, as I’m sure it is for everyone else. I go to school full time, I work 4-5 days a week, and I have to balance a social life, a romantic life, and hobbies like writing with all of this in mind. It’s a lot easier right now to produce a smaller piece of writing than to make time for another 15-20K of words.
3. I love my little community. I love the feedback I receive. As a writer, it is the greatest reward, and nothing fills me more with a sense of accomplishment than a reblog or a nice word left by a reader. I have never put my content behind a paywall thus far, and all I ever hope to receive for my hard work is feedback. That being said, it’s difficult to find inspiration to spend days writing an update when the notes on TDIAG don’t reflect that readers want to see it. I totally get it, it’s a long fic and there’s OCs, which aren’t in demand on this platform the same way that reader inserts are. But at times it can feel draining to spend hours writing a piece and then realizing that readers just aren’t as interested as they would be in different content
4. Writing shorter pieces where I can play with different tropes and different personalities allows me to avoid a writer’s block. I have crazy, crazy, crazy ADHD, and I have so many tropes and so many AUs I haven’t even shared with you all yet (trust me, @cherryjuiceblues will back me on this and let you all know she gets whiplash from how quick I switch around fics LOL). Writing organically, writing what comes natural to me in the moment is the way I’ve found I can really immerse myself and enjoy writing
5. If I’m not 100% enjoying what I’m writing, if I’m sitting down and forcing myself to write something for the sake of producing an update (as opposed to organically letting words flow for an idea I’m excited about), the content is not going to be my 100%. I would never want to post something that I didn’t pour 100% of myself into, and I’m afraid that if I were to solely focus on writing TDIAG right now for the sake of pumping out an update, then it’s not going to be my best, and I don’t want to share that with my readers.
I know there is a dedicated base of readers anxiously awaiting an update for TDIAG. I am so grateful for you all, and I appreciate you for being patient for me and for sticking around. I will never just up and abandon this story, and I apologize that I’ve put this fic on a short pause, but I hope this clarifies what’s going on behind the scenes and why I’ve been focused on posting other fics in the mean time. Just trying to share my passion for writing in the ways that I can at the moment <3

Have you ever seen Lucifer? The Fox/Netflix version with Tom Ellis? Because for some reason, I can just see you absolutely nailing his character in a story about fatherhood with Bruce. Like the original character of Lucifer comes from DC, so maybe your take could be more lore accurate to his power level as opposed to the washed down version they gave that worked for the shoe but was disappointing that they never explored …but maybe he gets caught somehow in Bruce and Clarks life by getting thrown to their universe by idk Maze if she got super pissed at him and then they pick him up and after he settles in he relates heavily to Bruce’s kids and it becomes about family, love, and learning to embrace your present before he gets sent back? Idk. Lol.
That said, I love all you stories and I am patiently waiting for your update to your Mandoverse!Superbat ❤️
I loved Lucifer! I binged all of the seasons a year or two ago. I found Tom Ellis to be very funny and charming, despite the sometimes cringey (but hilarious) writing toward the end of the show.
I like to think he'd make fun of Bruce and Clark upon first meeting, but then he'd reluctantly admit that Clark's powers were very helpful and that Bruce was just as good, if not better, at intimidating witnesses than Lucifer is with his devil face.
He would also have 0 idea what to do with a house full of dangerous, curious birds. But I suspect you're right, he would learn a lot about relationships and embracing the present (from none other than Bruce "well adjusted" Wayne himself)

Plot Bunny: Wen Qing Reincarnates
Wen Qing reincarnates into the Nie sect almost immediately after dying. She grows up Nie Lian and has a great aptitude for medicine that surprises her family. As soon as she starts learning to use a saber, she realizes the problem the resentful energy will cause. She has an intuitive knowledge of resentment she cannot explain. She does experiments that help her immediate family, but her activities do not draw much other attention. Nie Huaisang is aware of her talents, but he is also very distracted with revenge/justice and feigned incompetence. He supports her by not opposing her.
Then, when Wei Wuxian returns to the world, Nie Lian wakes up with the memories of Wen Qing. She is only 16 years old, but she is now both Lian and Qing. She's less guarded than before given how much support and protection she'd enjoyed as Lian, but she also gets a bit sharper and less patient as the memories settle in.
At first she does nothing. Then everything at the temple happens. Then she learns Wei Wuxian is alive again and her brother still lives. Then she learns the Golden Core Transfer is no longer secret.
She requests permission to visit Yunmeng and Gusu under the guise of expanding her medical knowledge. In reality, she wants to see Jiang Cheng for herself and find some way to apologize now that he knows the truth. Then she wants to hug her brother and hit Wei Wuxian for wasting her and the rest of the remnants' sacrifice.
She introduces herself as Nie Qinglian. She refuses to deny either part of who she is. While she is in Yunmeng, Jiang Cheng is injured. His usual doctor is absent (doing rounds along the pier probably) so Qinglian steps forward and takes command of the situation. She helps him. Then, when she thinks he is asleep, she talks to him. She apologizes for the Core Transfer and for keeping Wei Wuxian in the Burial Mounds for so long. Then she says she wishes she had kept the comb.
The problem is, Jiang Cheng had been asleep, but her voice coaxed him awake. Given how confusing her words were, he'd continued to feign sleep. When she mentions the comb, though, his eyes fly open.
"Wen Qing?"
And this 17 year old Nie disciple stares at him, her face slowly turning pink. "You were supposed to be asleep."
"Who are you?" he demands.
"Apparently I've reincarnated," she tells him. "I regained my memories last year. From what I understand, it happened around when your brother returned."
Jiang Cheng snorts. "Of course this is his fault."
"Would you like me to leave?" she asks, dryly.
"No," he says, sitting up too quickly and wincing for the effort.
"Lay back down. I didn't spend the past five hours saving your life only for you to undo all my hard work."
He lays back, but reaches out to catch her hand. "I'm glad you're here."
"I am sorry," she says. "I don't know if you heard that part."
"You can make it up to me."
"How?" she asks.
"Stay," he says with a yawn. "All I've ever wanted is for people to stay."
"All right," she says.
When he awake again, Jiang Cheng realizes that Wen Qing or Qinglian as she is now, will want to see Wen Ning. And Wei Wuxian. And that Lan kid they're pretending isn't actually a Wen.
He calls for some paper and writes his brother a letter.
A few days later, instead of a reply, Wei Wuxian descends on Lotus Pier with Lan Wanji, Lan Sizhui, and Wen Ning in tow. They all have a very tearful reunion. Qinglian both looks nothing and everything like Wen Qing. She is so much younger than he is now. He'd thought nothing of her when she had only been Nie Qinglian, but now that he knows she is also Wen Qing, he wants to hold her and never let go.
Qinglian does stay in Lotus Pier. Nie Huaisang has figured out who she is and does not insist she return. She and Jiang Cheng engage in a strange courtship where both sides are very uncertain of the other's regard. He doesn't want to trap her. She worries he can only love part of her. But after about a year, a few days after her 18th birthday, they share a kiss and he asks her to marry him.
She accepts.
