Okok hear me out, this story has been festering in my head for a while.
King Alfred loses his beloved wife, Lady Aelswith, in childbirth of their only son, Edward. While he is still mourning, his eldormen pressure him to take a second wife to produce more heirs and spares, but really, they just hope to push forward their own daughters as candidates for the King to select. The most vocal amongst them is power hungry Lord Augustine, whose lands and wealth make him impossible to say no to, because even the king needs allies. So Alfred agrees to marry his daughter, Lady Joanna, but he vows never to touch her so that Augustine's dream of having his blood upon the throne will never be realized. Alfred knows that the moment he has children with Joanna, his children with Aelswith will meet fatal "accidents" and be removed.
Joanna is very different from what Alfred is used to in Aelswith and its part of why he hates her. While his previous queen was quiet and gentle, guiding his decisions with a non commanding suggestions, Joanna is bolder and more disagreeable. She isn't as careful as Aelswith was and Alfred hates that she isn't her.
He also hates her obviously cuz hes forced into the marriage and her father is always breathing down their necks waiting for them to have kids. Alfred thinks that Joanna is a spy for her father sent to torment him and his children.
But eventually he sees that Joanna hates her dad too cuz he's a prick and he actually has more in common with his new wife than he previously thought. He begins to find her candor and brashness refreshing, and she's always so gentle and good with Aelswiths kids, so he can't make himself continue hating her, but then he feels guilty for beginning to care for her cuz he still clings on to the memory of Aelswith.
Alfred is deeply religious but Joanna is lowkey abit of a secret agnostic cuz ✨️religious trauma ✨️ and they beef over that for abit too. Alfred feels even more religious guilt about falling for what he considers basically a Heathen in disguise
One day Alfred comes accross Joanna's father like being cruel to her and just yelling at her for not yet bearing the king's children and he barges in to their private conversation to defend her by being all "she is your queen, and you will respect her as you would respect me, your king." And Joanna is speechless cuz this is the first time he has stood up for her or said anything remotely polite or kind about her. But then Alfred ruins it by saying that he needed to atleast keep up the appearances or else the eldormen would shackle him to another useless bride of their choosing so he had to pretend to be somewhat content with Joanna. And obvi Joanna is hurt cuz she thought he was finally beginning to care for her.
Tumblr media
Essentially a slow burn, arranged marriage, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, angsty King Alfred fic?
Would anyone be interested in that? Alfred is such an underrated character and I have barely seen any fics for him, so I thought I might try and remedy that lol.
Credit to @justasightseer for getting me into the Alfred squad lol, I can't stop thinking about him now.

Obsidian Desires
Warning: The following fanfiction contains mature content and is intended for readers who are 18 years old or above. Reader discretion is advised.
Reader is only referred to as “you”/ Gender Neutral.
Word Count: 737
Yandere Mafia OC x (Gender Neutral) Reader
The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air, enveloping the cozy little café in a warm embrace. (Y/N), a talented barista, expertly worked behind the counter, effortlessly crafting the perfect cup of joe. The bustling city of Milan provided a constant hum in the background, the perfect symphony for (Y/N)'s daily routine.
Unbeknownst to them, an enigmatic figure had taken notice. Luca Salvatore, the charismatic and ruthless Italian Mafia boss, concealed his dark allure behind a well-tailored suit. His sapphire eyes were entranced by (Y/N)'s grace and the subtle charm that emanated from every movement.
Day after day, Luca found himself drawn to the café, watching (Y/N) from afar, his desires entwining with his dangerous nature. The flicker of passion ignited within him, transforming his love for them into something sinister—a manic grip on their heart.
On a particularly busy day, (Y/N) caught sight of Luca standing by the café entrance. Their eyes met briefly, an electric spark surging through their veins. Unbeknownst to (Y/N), this fleeting connection would ignite a blaze they were ill-prepared to face.
Luca approached the counter, his voice dripping with a mixture of authority and subtle seduction. "Cappuccino, please," he requested, his voice resonating with an air of dominance.
As (Y/N) prepared the beverage, their hands trembled slightly, sensing the intensity radiating from Luca. The exchange was brief, yet it left an indelible mark on both their hearts.
Days turned into weeks, and Luca's infatuation with (Y/N) grew exponentially. He couldn't bear the thought of another man touching them, let alone stealing their heart away. His mind became a canvas of possessive fantasies, dark and intoxicating.
Luca's sinister nature led him down a path of obsession, his dangerous tendencies entwined with his desires. He began to use his power and influence to ensure (Y/N)'s safety, pulling the strings from the shadows. He dispatched his most loyal underlings to protect the café and ensure that no harm would befall (Y/N).
One evening, as the café closed its doors, (Y/N) found themselves alone, surrounded by the silence of the space. They were unaware of the lingering presence outside, the sound of Luca's footsteps drawing closer.
With a sudden gust of wind, Luca appeared in the doorway, his eyes burning with a mixture of urgency and danger. The air thickened with unspoken desire as he approached (Y/N), a predator closing in on its prey.
"(Y/N)," he whispered huskily, his voice a velvet caress against their ear. "You're mine."
Before (Y/N) could react, Luca's lips captured theirs in a consuming kiss, a passionate union of two souls tethered by fate (or was it something more disturbing that chained their lives together). The taste of coffee mingled with the hint of danger, igniting a fire within them that they couldn't resist.
Luca's world and (Y/N)'s merged in a tempestuous whirlwind of passion and danger. Love, lust, and violence became intertwined, their desires intertwined in a dance that knew no boundaries.
The café became their sanctuary, a place where (Y/N) could embrace Luca's dangerous world while still retaining their independence. Under the guise of serving coffee, (Y/N) discovered the darkest depths of love, reveling in the adrenaline that coursed through their veins each time Luca entered the homely bistro.
Yet, the sun grew hotter the closer they got and eventually started to burn; the whispers of reality grew louder. The fine line between love and possession blurred, leaving (Y/N) torn between their desire for freedom and the allure of Luca's vicious embrace. Icarus plummeted into the unkind waters below.
Luca and (Y/N) existed in a world of secrecy and sin, bound together by an unyielding passion and the ever-present danger of Luca's underworld. Their love, tainted with obsession, proved to be a volatile concoction, threatening to consume them both.
In the depths of the night, as (Y/N) lay tangled in Luca's arms, they couldn't help but wonder if their souls would forever be shackled by the intoxicating grip of their lover shrouded in crime.
And so, their journey continued, a dance of dominance and submission, fueled by their undeniable connection. Only time would reveal if their love could withstand the tempestuous storms that lay ahead, or if it would succumb to the sinister desires that lurked in the shadows of their hearts.

Hi Kaze!, what about 1,3 and 4 for the ask game. I hope you are having a good weekend ☺️
Hello and same to you! 💛💛💛
What was the first thing you ever wrote for yourself? Not for a school assignment but for your own enjoyment.
Uuuuhm, that is one good question. Ever ever, it'd probably be some story about horses or some such back in 3rd grade or so? I don't even know, haha.
When it comes to my writing renaissance, it would be "New Beginnings", the first chapter of my comeback fic An Art of Balance.
3. The WIP you are most attached to.
Oh, most definitely When Stars Ignite, the Rockstar AU @the-al-chemist and I wrote last year. Although I realise, that one is closed so technically not a WIP anymore.
Hm, then it'd probably be either the Rockstar spin-off series currently titled Icarus, or Larger than Life, my magnus opum featuring Charlie and my OC Ava, which may or may not be bordering on turning into original fiction atm.
4. How many times have you been thrown off plot for a particular WIP?
Uhm, actually... never? Or rather, depends on where in the writing process you're looking at. Once I have a plan and script for a fic set out I stick to it, and only change minor details or add side characters here and there (if they blow up into my favourite problem kids later, that's another story).
But when I'm in the actual planning process of a project? Yeah, things change LOADS there. But that's the point about plot drafts, isn't it?

Celestial Spectrum Lore: Names + Translations
Quick OC lore dump since it’s on my mind and I don’t want this to get lost in my mountain of files-
In my story/universe of Celestial Spectrum it is set from the perspective of fifteen characters who are ‘tuned in’ to a collective system (that’s another can o worms that I may explain one day) that helps power them up and allows them to read any recorded language in their primary language. 
When you add in with how weird or outlandish some of the characters names are then you can start to understand that the names seen/heard by MVF (the main character) might not actually be their names but a translation of them.
More under cut-
This is going to be more of a ramble of the names and translations of my OCs’ names now.
Carta S. Mantua- A very literal name. Carta and Mantua are English words that just mean ‘paper/letter’ and ‘great’. This ties in with Carta having studied astronomy and creating her own star maps back in the day.
Golden Time- Gold’s full name is ‘Time’s Golden Angel’ and could easily be misinterpreted as being a more religious name. In actuality, it’s a closer meaning to ‘Dawn’ since a better translation would be ‘the time when angels bring the golden light’. A very cute name!
X YZ- A harder name to figure out since X is one of the last of her kind and her fellow species and culture are so spread out these days. It would have to be from an alien alphabet and, sound-based, would sound like ‘Dizzy’.
Ice Flame- ‘Icamous Flamamous’ is her full name and her first name’s English translation is closer to ‘Icarus’ but her last name isn’t as easy to understand. It can be roughly translated to ‘Ignite.’ Her name can be either ‘Fire Starter’ or ‘Follow the Light.’
Fire Angel- This one is easy! Her avian species give bird/flight themed names so her English translation would be ‘Phoenix.’
Candy Corn Vampire- He has a very literal translation and five other middle names we don’t have time to get into. ‘Candy’ is translated from ‘Sweet’ and ‘Corn’ is from ‘Harvest’. His last name ‘Vampire’ is actually a very old name that can’t be easily translated but it roughly means ‘Moon that Bleeds’ or ‘Blood Moon’. His name could actually mean ‘Sweets.’
Oblivion Starlight- Last of her kind, she only says that her first name of ‘Oblivion’ is from the term for ‘Vast Sky’ and ‘Starlight’ is from ‘Stardust’. Her name means ‘A Sky Filled with Stars.’
Note: This is where much of the cast is from Earth and names and translations are easier or just names.
Deathly Toll Bells- OH BOY. Deathly’s ‘’’’’true name’’’’’ is actually ‘Persephone’ and it means ‘Bringer of Death.’ To bring it back to her current name, it’s longer meaning would be ‘The Sound of When Your Death Arrives.’
Lady Law- Her nickname since she’s kind of moved on from her previous life. Her previous name was ‘Lily’ (’زنبق’ or ‘Zanbaq’).
Perenelle- From the French form of ‘Petronilla’ which means ‘Rock’. ‘Perenelle’ just means ‘Yokel.’ Not that exciting but she likes going by the nickname ‘Perry.’
Daë- A shortened form of ‘Daydream.’ He named himself after going through a very long rough part of his life where he was known as ‘Nyght.’
Mary Blüde- ‘Mary’ which is short for ‘Marian’ and her chosen last name is an alternate spelling for ‘Blood.’ If you want to get literal into name meaning, ‘Marian’ can be ‘Drop of Sea; Bitter; Beloved’ and if you put it next to her last name it can be ‘Sea of Blood; Bitter Blood; Beloved One.’
Scarlet Frost- Her name is ‘Scarlet Frost.’ : )
Demigod- Short of ‘Demise God’ or ‘God of Demise.’ Her previous name was ‘Denise’ but she can’t remember.
MVF- Back to the fun stuff: This is an instance of the translation mechanisms fucking up due to her having a weird spelling for her name. It’s possible that her name starts with ‘M’ and the ‘V’ and ‘F’ aren’t actually there.
And now back to aliens and weird immortals! These will be shorter.
Matilda + Fluffy- Very regular names. Matilda was given an Earth name by her adoptive parents and Fluffy is an alien cat whose parents are very into traditional cat names. Fluffy’ fur is very soft and never really lost that kitten fuzz.
Terra Cotta- From a desert planet. His name can be translated from ‘Sun-Kissed Earth/Planet.’
Celestite- From the gemstone, based on their hair and skin color. Means ‘Heavenly.’
Xero- Alternative spelling for ‘Zero.’ Her name can be translated from ‘From Nowhere’ since she is a treasure thief who is always on the run.
Xerreff + Talma + Yaiba- They each named themselves. ‘Xerreff’ is from ‘Circuits,’ ‘Talma’ is from ‘Bone,’ and ‘Yaiba’ is from ‘Streak.’ Talma and Yaiba didn’t know their names mean ‘Hill’ and ‘Sword’ in other languages.
Nebulark- Easy. A combination of ‘Nebula’ and ‘Lark.’ Her true name is from a warrior bird that has significance in her culture, most likely translated from ‘Lark of the Stars.’
Skrapper + Mix + Kabular + Hybie- All named by Nebulark. She named them all after their elemental abilities. ‘Skrapper’ is ‘North Wind,’ ‘Mix’ is ‘Wildfire,’ ‘Kabular’ is ‘Tree Bark,’ and ‘Hybie’ is ‘Ocean of Teeth.’
Aries- Named after the original Celestial Warrior! AKA- The constellation of Aries.
Centarous- From the same culture as Oblivion’s. His name is a combination of two words, ‘Centar’ and ‘Arous.’ ‘Centar’ is ‘Dusk’ and ‘Arous’ is ‘Burnt’ so his name would translate to ‘Burnt Dusk’ or ‘The Dusk that Burns.’
Sperra- Name given by Centarous. Her name means ‘Ray of Light’ since he first saw her as his first follower after his downfall.
Maleficent Varry- Robot with the best form of sentience names herself ‘Bad Variable’ or ‘Computer Virus.’
Mountain Lion- Time to talk about Moroko’s mother (yes she’s a Collateral Damage and Celestial Spectrum character). She likes the English translation of her name and thus keeps it as a nickname but it’s translated from an ancient form of ‘Towering/Mighty Emperor.’
Hope + Poppy Blood- Possibly the hardest names to figure out. From the same ancient language as Mountain Lion. They’re twin sisters and thus have matching names. ‘Hope’ is from ‘Shining’ and ‘Poppy Blood’ is from ‘Nightmare.’ 
Now! Time for Elements, Elementals, and Absolute Zero!
The Celestial Spectrum (name of the spectrum of elements) has a total of fifteen elements: Space, Time, Wishes, Destruction, Fire, Mirrors, ???, End, Law, Reality, Dreams, Power, Ice, Steel, and Creation.
Fire + End + Ice + Steel- Let’s get this group out of the way first. These are the four core elements of Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. Fire is the obvious one that has the correct translation but the others need some explanation. End has a source from ‘Death’ or ‘Underworld’ and thus you can make the assumption of ‘meeting a watery end’ or ‘whirlpools’ but it’s sourced more from how an ocean can be endless and meeting it could mark your death. Ice is from ‘cold air’ and is a pretty simple translation. Steel’s translation leans more into ‘Iron’ or ‘Earth’ but has roots in a different meaning of ‘can be molded’ or ‘terraform.’
???- Lost in translation. From Oblivion’s culture and was lost to time. Some believe it closely resembles ‘heart’ or ‘emotion.’
Space + Time- Very metaphysical. Space is from ‘Dark Matter’ and Time is from ‘Change.’
Wishes + Mirrors- Two elements that don’t really make sense as to why they would be elements. Both of them are actually very psychological meanings and are part of the state of being. Wishes is from the term ‘to desire’ and Mirrors is from ‘to reflect’ or ‘to be.’ To Wish is to desire, to Mirror is to be. I can’t really get into it because the elements themselves are like essays worth of content.
Destruction + Creation- These two elements are very similar to one another! Destruction and Creation are from ‘to meld.’ To get even more practical, Creation’s other translations are ‘Life,’ ‘Birth,’ and ‘Blood’ while Destruction’s others are ‘Silence,’ ‘Completion,’ and ‘Break.’ You can’t destroy something without creating something new and you can’t create something without destroying something older.
Reality + Dreams- Both states of the awake and dreaming worlds. Reality is from ‘awake’ and ‘brain’ while Dreams is from ‘asleep’ and ‘prophecy/protection.’ Again, it would be hard to explain without going more in-depth sorry;;;
Law + Power- The balance elements. This is all about physics. Law is from ‘to balance’ or ‘to equate’ and Power is from ‘to heighten’ or ‘to give.’
Elementals- Not going to list all of their names since I just listed their elements meanings^^ They each reflect their Element’s meanings since they are the “physical” manifestations of them. Some of their personalities can lean away from what they stand for though.
Absolute Zero- She named herself similar to the space she resides in, Point Blank. Essentially, she sees herself as ‘Impossible Loneliness’ or even ‘Empress of Nowhere.’ : (
Annddddd that’s all I got for now! Some of this translations tuff might change and I didn’t add in all of the characters I have in CS since I haven’t introduced some still. More characters might be added once they’re introduced.

Synopsis of a Coriolanus Snow x OC and Sejanus x OC fic (not a love triangle lol) I'm working on. Is this something yall would be interested in? If so I can post the moodboards and chapter 1 on here too
Update: It's here lol masterlist
Artemis Highbottom remembers a life before the opulent embrace of the Capitol's glittering splendour. She remembers a hunger so deep it hollowed out her soul, a memory etched in the marrow of her bones. Those nights never appear during her waking hours and sometimes she thinks she might have imagined it all. Being Casca Highbottom's daughter affords her a life of privilege and scorn, but only Artemis knows that there is more to her than meets the eye and she will do anything at all, morals be damned, to make sure she does not end up in that place that haunts her dreams, that place of aching emptiness and rot.
She embodies poise and unyielding discipline, standing as a paragon of excellence that stokes the fires of envy within her classmate and rival, Coriolanus Snow. As the unyielding zenith of the Academy, Artemis's ascent sparks a festering resentment in Snow, magnified when she's entrusted with mentoring the female tribute from District 2—a role that slices through Snow's pride as he faces the humiliating task of guiding the runt of the litter. Their destinies intertwine in a labyrinthine game of high stakes and calculated gambits. Each mentor, burdened with their own ambitions and stakes, grapples with the weight of necessity, teetering precariously on the razor's edge of moral compromise, balancing strategy and sacrifice to ensure their tribute emerges victorious.
Within the stony confines of District 2, Diana Lazarus is an anomaly—a soul tethered to gentleness in a world forged by strife. The reaping's cruel hand, indifferent to her aversion to violence, seizes her fate and thrusts her toward the harrowing jaws of the Hunger Games. Yet, fate twists further in cruel irony as her sister, the embodiment of valour and sacrifice, steps forth to volunteer in Diana's stead. Struggling against the bonds of loyalty and guilt, Diana refuses to betray, even as her sister is shipped off to the arena where she will forfeit her life. Determined not to be severed from her side, Diana forges her path to the gilded halls of the Capitol, anticipating the spectacle of the Games, only to collide with an unforeseen spectre from her past. Sejanus Plinth, a boy both loathed and longed for, now ensconced in luxury, stands as the mentor to her sister's adversary. As the games loom ahead, Diana grapples not only with survival amidst the Capitol's treacherous allure but also with the rekindling of emotions she thought buried in the depths of her soul.
Children are the inheritors of their father's sins, and as the 10th annual Hunger Games come to a close, the debt to be paid demands everything they hold dear.
