Fanfic (William Shakespeare & reader)

Warning: light smut

Also warning: english is not my native language, but I hope you enjoy!

Words: about 2000 (wow... I am surprised by myself)

One step closer

It was a bad day. In your opinion it couldn't have been worse. Since nearly three weeks now you're helping Shakespeare with his new play. Your task was to take care of the costumes, stopping by for cleaning or darning them. But after a few days an actress catched a bad flue and William asked you to take her place.

You happily agreed to his wish. First everything went smooth, it was challenging but also fun. You liked to work with the other actors right away, enjoying their open and caring personalities, but the most important thing: You are able to spend time with Shakespeare.

At first you were only curious about him, you wanted to know more about the great mysterious William Shakespeare, who has left the mansion, and for sure you wanted to find out more about his work. The more time passed by, the more you could see your feelings change.

By this time it is impossible for you to face his glare without trembling legs or hundreds of butterflies in your stomach. William Shakespeare- the perfect gentleman, always treating you with respect and a gentleness that borders on adoration. Plus he is an extremly hard worker, fully dedicated to his plays, he is considerate and charming, he's got a fine sense of humor always making you smile, and his voice... oh you could spend hours only listening to him. In one or two rare moments you were even able to notice a softer, almost shy side at him and at that rare moments you knew you were lost. Helpless to his force of attraction like a planet to the force of gravity from a black hole.

You're really trying hard to hide that you're in love with him.

Who are you at all? Only a normal young woman who fell in love with one of history's greatest men. He deserves better than you. William deserves a woman who is as much talented and captivate as him. So you decided to admire and love him in secrecy.

But unfortunately those secret feelings for him happened to be the reason for your desaster today.

First William adjusted your new costume over and over again. You could feel his hands moving over your body and as he corrected the ribbons of your corset you were at your limit. You sensed his breath in your neck and there was no way to hide the tremble that rushed through your form. "Are you okay? Do you need something?" His enticing voice next to your ear... You almost blurted out 'You!"

With shaky words you explained you only forgot to eat proper this morning. He hummed at your words, then promised to offer after rehearse everything to you what you desire. Ah... Your mind spun.

Later he took place for one of his actors to show how the scene should look like. That ment he held you in his arms and whispered lovingly lines while looking straight into your eyes. You weren't able to remember your part anymore, you barely managed to stutter an excuse and asked embarressed for a small break. Not waiting for the answer you broke from the embrace and hurried off the stage - when the next drama happened.

You lost balance as your long dress stuck to the rail und you fell down the last stair. One of the actors helped you up and you assured quickly to be okay while realising the beautiful costume is ruined. Tearing up you fled the scene without looking back.

And now you're sitting on the chaise in the changing area, desperate, full of shame and tired of yourself.

Hot tears of frustration are spurting out as Shakespeare opens the door slightly. " May I come in?" He asks with a soft voice. A sobb leaves your lips and you try to wipe your tears away as soon as possible."Sure, William". He sits down next to you, trying to meet your gaze. But you are feeling ashamed, looking down, avoiding his eyes. "I.. I am so sorry for ruining the rehearse and the beautiful dress..." another tear rolls down your cheek. With two fingers under your chin Will lifts your head.

"There is no need to apologize, my brave maiden", he whispers and let you drown in his enchanting, mismatched eyes. You can't help it - more tears are spilling out and his other hand reaches up to wipe them away affectionaly. Will's face is so close to yours, you can feel his breath on your skin. He cups your face. "Tis is all my fault and my heart is bleeding with sorrow, knowing I did this to you". You frown. "I don't understand William... Why should my clumpsiness be your fault?"

Staring in your eyes, he sighs. "I know what your heart desires, my fair maiden. Now I know it for sure." His thumbs caress softly your cheeks. "The past days I could see a change in your glare when you looked at me.. and when you thought I wouldn't notice that your eyes are following me". In shock you're holding your breath and you could feel the heat rising in your face.

The playwright shows a small, almost shy smile "But.. I wasn't sure at first, you left me wondering what brought up tis change in your behavior. Mayhap I divined it and I only was afraid to let your very soul whisper to the solidified heart of mine, which didn't know how to respond anymore after so many lonely centuries." Will swollows hard "Sometimes I felt a bit confused about you..." he confesses.

"When I made a move upon you, you made a move backwards. Sometimes you took two steps. Then again I thought to glimpse the truth demand of your heart in your eyes. And the thought that it could be me what your heart desires made me weak."

At this point you're questioning reality and your eyes grow wide in disbelieve. Are you fantasizing? Could it be...?

"Yes, I am weak for you my fair maiden..." He continues in a whisper as if he can read your mind. He leans a bit closer, his forehead touching yours. "Tis weakness frightened me" his lips graces your eyebrows, then your cheekbones, a shiver runs down your spine. His lips feel so warm and soft... A whimper leaves your lips and you close your eyes.

"But at sudden my soul obtained greater fears to me." William's lips travel down, brushing your jaw. You inhale the scent of his silken hair and his shaving water. Your mind goes blank and your heart is beating so fast and hard now, you're afraid he can hear it.

"Not to see tis very expression in your eyes because of me anymore. Not having you around me anymore. Never being able to touch you..." Now he whispers in your ear, his lips touching your earlobe ever so slightly and you can't supress a moan. "As I knew my true fears and my deepest longing, I decided to force you to a reaction... And though I feel ashamed for doing tis to you... " William murmurs between tender butterfly kisses he places along your jawline. Shouldn't you be angry now with Shakespeare? But your mind wasn't able to create a reasonable thought and his alluring sing-song voice hypnotizes you. Forgetting everything else, you only want his touch and get lost in your love for him.

"Your oh so sweet, passionate reactions brought tis insecure heart of mine more joy I could ever imagine. For now there is no turning back... Nor for me, nor for you fair maiden."

He stops moving his mouth over your face and with a seductive voice he pleads "Look at me."

With intermittently breath you open your eyes to meet his stare and your heart flutters over the desperate, wanting glance.

"Would you forgive tis poor, troublesome sinner?" Barely able to speak you manage somehow to whisper:"How can I not forgive you, Will? I love you so much."

Moving his fingers through your hair he grabs the back of your head, his eyes now dark and full of pleasure. " To grace me with those words.. they make me dizzy with desire..."

Again Shakespeare leans in closer, his burning eyes glued to your mouth. "And would you allow tis poor sinner who loves you insanely, wildly and infinitely to taste your lips...?"

Your heart misses a beat. Maybe two. This time you skip the answer, pulling him at his collar into a kiss.

William lets out a moan of surprise, throwing his arms around you, pressing your body against his. The kiss grows fast deeper as you feel his tongue flickering against your lips, begging for entrance. Obeying his wish, you let his tongue slip inside and the world around you stops existing.There was nothing you could do but moan into his kiss helplessly. Feeling his demanding tongue pushing in deep, then teasingly intertwinning with yours, while his hands endlessly caress the curves of your body, ruins every yet existing rest of reason. The uprising heat in your veins burns to a point of hurt and starts a raging fire from your belly down to your inner thighs.

Suddenly William breaks the kiss, pulling your head to his chest, where you can hear his speeding heartbeat. "We should stop here my fair temptress, or else I won't be able to hold myself back anymore."

What? No no no... now that you've got a hint of the taste of everything you were craving for the last days, you have no intention to stop so soon. Your body still humming with pleasure you cling to his shoulders and leave a trail of small kisses from his collarbone up to his neck. Rubbing his cheek against yours he whines "Ah my godess, my temptress... " burrying his face at your neck he inhales your scent "You can't imagine how much I crave for your blood... it's calling me, singing alluring to me like a Sirene..."

As his tongue laves over your neck your form trembles and a lewd moan escapes your lips. He found one of your most sensitive spots. His grip at your body tightens. He brushes his soft lips over the spot again with a flickering of his tongue. You can feel your hips bucking at this sensation and you gasp.

"I can't... stand it, I can't resist.." Shakespeare's voice - so needy and trembling with passion.

"Bite me Will!" You blurt out. "I beg you, please bite me!" Does this desperate voice really belong to you?

William hesitates only a brief second, then he pushes your body down, then let his fangs sink into your delicate skin with a groan.

After a sharp but short prick waves of burning, unearthly passion roll through you over and over again.

This passion cannot be human, it sets your entire body immediatly on fire and your core clenches. You can hear Shakespeare crying out as loud as you, pressing his hips against yours. Crying and moaning you start to pass out, repeating his name like a mantra.

As you open your eyes again, William fondles with your hair, observing you with a glance so concerning and lovingly, it almost makes you cry.

"I am so, so sorry... I was too greedy.."

You smile at him. "Don't feel sorry Will, I am doing fine and... " You inhale sharp "and by all the gods, it was.. intense..."

You can feel your desire rising up again only by the thought of what happened before.

Shakespeare watches you with an intense stare, swallowing every reaction your body shows. His fingertips brush lightly over your lips before kissing you fiercly and senseless.

Then he pulls himself away.

He pants, placing a tender kiss on top of your head "I wish to seduce my godess in an adequate ambiance. So I'll take you now home with me, making sure I fulfill every wish and dream you can imagine... " he whispers seductively as he nuzzles his face in your hair. You both hold still for a few minutes, trying to calm down again, just enjoying to embrace each other. Unable to stop smiling, tears sting in your eyes. You can't remember that you felt happier anytime in your life.

Thank you for reading! 💝

Stars shall weave my destiny

A/N : So hey there again! I'm back again, not fully but , I am gonna be little free from now since my college works are completing bit by bit, and I wanted to write this as a start..

MC's feeling as they are torn between the decision to stay back in mansion or go back to their own time as they fall in love.

PS: I tried gender neutral version of mc this time.

words: <1000

I don't know if destiny plays fair or not, but it never ceases to drop a bombshell. Who knew that wheels of destiny would play this surprising game? I was meant to be a mere visitor in louvre but had stumbled across the door, which landed me in this time period.

Now I remember Shakespeare's famous quote, " All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players.."

Never have these words more suited me. After all, he (suitor of your choice) and I are just players in this game of the destiny. I met the person that I shouldn't have crossed paths with at all. But before I realized it, my heart was a prisoner of his.

I walk through the mansion hallways and open the doors of balcony. The cool wind brushes against my cheeks as I stare at the town lit by arc lamps. Wrapping arms around myself and seeking warmth, my thoughts drift to the time I came from as I look at the town. The town shining with the lights in this century reminded me of my time.

"The city in my time is also lit the same way, every light from the skyscrapers filling me up with an indescribable warmth in my heart. The lights gave me a sense of security, that I'm not alone in this world.

The nightscape of 19th century town is making me nostalgic and anxious somehow. Why did I have to go and fall in love with a person from the past? Just like people fall in love with the moon albeit the millions of stars that adorn the night skies, I have fallen in love with the man who might be way out of my league.

According to Comte, once I leave the mansion through the door, there's no coming back. Do the heavens like to toy with my heart and mind? Why does my love have to be a double edged sword?

This love ablaze in my heart demands sacrifice either way... If I leave this place and go to my time, these all would remain as a distant memory and I would have no choice but to forget the man I love... If I decide to stay back, I have to bid farewell to my family, my friends, my relatives, my life... I feel as if my heart is breaking into pieces like glass shards with the mere thought of bidding goodbye to the ones you love from either of the times. Is this how Comte and Leonardo feel every time they have to bid farewell to the persons they have bonded with ?

I look up at the night sky and see the hauntingly beautiful moon that hangs in the sky. It's crescent shape seems as if it's mocking me, cruelly reminding me again the less time I have to make the decision. The decision that's going to affect my entire life.

Along with the night winds blowing, these conflicting thoughts feuding against themselves made me cold inside out. Both my heart and mind were against each other. My heart wanted to stay here with the vampires whom I have become fond of over the time I spent here. To stay here with the man I'm falling in love with.

My mind was screaming at me,' you do not belong to this time period, you belong to the future. You were always meant to be a visitor. Don't get too attached to him and the others.'

"Am I ready to give up my life I've spent in my time and stay back in this world? " I know that I cannot answer the question right away. And this thought was eating away at my soul.

My head was spinning and ready to explode as these overwhelming thoughts consume my mind.

I heard a sudden clacking of shoes down the corridor and opening of the door behind me. My eyes widened as I turned around and saw him standing there, with eyes that looked at me with concern now. Those were the eyes that had always held me captive as his gaze seemed to stare into my soul. Eyes that I fell in love with. But this has to remain a secret for now. I smiled at him bashfully and pushed all my thoughts aside, not wanting to worry him.

I told myself again, "I may not have answer to the question that my heart and mind ask me. But I do know that I am certainly in love with you, _______(suitor's name) ." I will let the stars and heavens weave my destiny and future that I will hold.

"Nothing at all, just some random thoughts that kept me awake until now. Haha. C'mon, let's go inside. " I told him . I told myself again that everything will be figured out in the end by itself. And I tried calming down my racing heart as I felt his presence beside me, walking alongside me across the hallways.

"Did you say something mc?" He asked, looking at me curiously.

Hi! May I ask for the Christmas prompt Cookies x William (ikevamp)? Thanks have a nice day!

This is my first time writing with Shakespeare as the suitor, let's see how this goes.

________

The lights of the ballroom sparkled and shined. Wreaths of pine and holly added to the festive feel of the room.

You were here with le Comte for a holiday party hosted by one of his acquiescences. Though, le Comte himself was currently busy with a crowd of nobles gathered around him, all vaying for his attention. Leaving you alone by the refreshment table.

"Salutations, (Y/n)." You look up to see another familiar face emerging from the crowd. "Oh, hello, um..." Oh drat. What was the alias Shakespeare was going by in this time again?

Shakespeare chuckles at your bewildered expression. "Thou mayst call me Will, if you so desire." He tells you.

Your shoulders relax. "Okay, then. Hello, Will." You say, giving him a relieved smile.

"Arts thou here unaccompanied on this winter night, fair one?" He asks casually. "No," you reply. "Le Comte is over there."

You gesture to the crowd of people. The golden hair of the vampire in question stood out among the humans.

"Just as the earth revolves arounf the sun, so too doth mortals and immortals alike revolve around our dear le Comte." Shakespeare muses softly.

You nod in agreement as you pick up a cookie from the refreshment table

Your eyes widen a fraction as you take a bit of it. "Hm. These are good." You say.

"Truely? Mayhaps you would deign to share a taste with me?" You were in mid bite and couldn't respond as Shakespeare leans in and nibbles off the end of your cookie.

"W-Will!" You stutter in shock, nearly dropping your cookie. Shakespeare chuckles at the sight of the blush blooming on you cheeks. "You j-just about gave me a heart attack."

"My apologies, I couldn't resist a jest." He confesses.

Your heart flutters at the sight of the mirthful twinkle in his duel colored eyes. "You just startled me, that's all." You explain. "Give me some warning next time."

"Ah, I see. Than mayhaps a quest for mistletoe is in order instead." He suggests.

Your eyes go wide and your blush goes straight to your ears.

________

Egh. I really should brush up on my Old English.

________

Thanks for reading. Happy Holidays everyone!

Stay Safe

Reader x William Shakespeare {IkeVam} - My World

Title: My World

Fandom: Ikemen Vampire

Character: Shakespeare Shakespeare

Genre: Romance, fluff

Warnings: none!

Intended Gender Audience: Female Audience

Word Count: 848 words

Written by: Mythiica

Other comments: trying a new style!

Request:

You do not really want to admit it, but you and Shakespeare are fighting.

Isaac considers it more feuding – the awkward silence at dinner that gnaws at everyone, the skillful throwing of murderous glances in the hallways, the slamming of doors whenever the other entered the mansion. Even Comte suggests asking Shakespeare to relocate away for a few days.

Probably the worst part is that you have forgotten what exactly the two of you had disagreed upon. Something stupid about leaving Yorick on the pillow again… your mind clouds over the past and all you can feel is the longing for his arms around your body, keeping you close and warm. Maybe those moments of quiet are only because he does not want to anger you further, maybe he takes a peek at you to try and catch your smile, and maybe the door slamming is unintentional (the mansion is a bit creaky).

Swallowing hard, you pad around your room and rake your fingers through your hair. Leonardo scribbles down a few notes before he throws his pencil at you. “At this rate, you will surely bore a hole into the ground and fall through directly into his bed.”

You open your mouth but then close it, deciding against saying something witty in response. “Do you know when–”

“Sebastian said he would return before dinner.”

When he sees your anxious expression, Leonardo does his best to suppress his laughter.

“What?!” you demand. You take a seat next to him on the loveseat and exhale slowly. “I just want to apologize to him…”

Leonardo taps his new pencil against your nose. “And you will. Don’t overthink it.”

Even though your friend says this, you fail to listen. In fact, you are oblivious to the words and go through the motions of a regular day in the mansion like you are not entirely present. Sebastian sends you away from the kitchen before you drop something, Wolfgang refuses to let you “bring him down” (because, you have the ability to do so further, even when he is playing the Requiem in D minor, K. 626), and Isaac did not even let you into his study. Dejected, you seek refuge in the gardens outside, thinking that the sunlight will cheer you up while you wait.

You must have fallen asleep in the gazebo, because the next thing you know, it is sunset and his carriage has arrived. It waits, just hidden behind the corner of a column, and you can hear his footsteps preceding into the mansion, the steady click click click of his soles tapping against the marble tiles.

Half of you wants to chase after him and hug him, but you know that you must control yourself. Instead, you slip back inside and wait for him to finish talking with Comte. They both glance over at your direction, but then Comte leaves.

Meaning: you and Shakespeare are alone in the same room for the first time in ages.

He clears his throat and runs a hand through his hair. When you walk towards him, Shakespeare seemingly is looking for the nearest exit, and you reevaluate your posture. Perhaps you are a bit too intimidating…

“William–”

“I was just leaving, I did not want to bother you.”

“Listen.”

He stops and his eyes flicker with hope.

Taking a deep breath, you let your emotions gush out. Being vulnerable is good, you tell yourself. “To be honest, I don’t even remember what happened and why we’re like this now… but all I’ve been doing lately is missing you, and I can’t think about anything else. If you’re not still mad at me, please come back–”

Shakespeare inhales sharply, like your words have just pierced his heart. “I could never be mad at you…”

You sense a ‘but’ coming, and after he licks his lips and hesitates, it comes: “But I worry about… you returning. That is what we fought about. Going back or staying here. I cannot comprehend such a world unlike this one – the future – even if it is your world and your home. At the same time, I would never ask you to remain here solely on behalf of… well… me.”

Tears well up in your eyes, but you hold them back. “William… I don’t have to go back.”

“Hm?”

“Because I can fit my entire world in the palms of my hands… Care to see?”

He seems to be having difficulty with this concept – holding something as large and ineffable as the world in something as small as your hands – how?

“I don’t understand. You would need magic for that, no?”

“No,” you laugh, “I don’t need magic. Just–”

Smiling softly, you raise your arms and cup his face, Shakespeare melts against your warm touch. He clasps you and holds you so close that you can feel the rhythmic beating of his heart and the rattling of his chest as he suppresses his own sobs.

You feel at ease once more and take comfort knowing that your home is with the vampire you love.

Hey! I'm not sure if you still take requests for your 50 followers event, but if you do, could I get Theo with prompt 25? Thank you! :D

Hey! Thank you for this request. I still do take requests for the event, so feel free to grab one of the last prompts.

Honestly, I really enjoyed writing this because it made me go down a memory lane when I read Theo’s route, stopping Mozart’s route for him. I’m still glad I read him, I really like the whole plot based on revenge.

Anyways, enough of my rumblings, here is your request I hope you like it! 💖

50 Followers Drabble Event, prompt #25 with Theodorus van Gogh

If you wish to check out the offical “50 Followers Drabble Event”, press here

Title: Creature of The Dark

Prompt: “I didn’t know where else to go.”

Fandom: Ikemen Vampire / Ikevamp / Ikevam

Pairing: Theodorus van Gogh x gn! Reader

Genre: Angst (kinda fluff at the very end)

Warnings: broken trust, losing job, getting kicked out, poverty, dark thoughts, not eating properly, mentions of death (kinda), swearing, depression(?)

Spoilers: Theo’s route, some facts from Napoleon’s route

Word Count: 1000+

Description: He broke yet another promise and you cut ties with the whole mansion, trying to live on your own in city. Losing your job and getting kicked out, you didn’t know where else to go but to the art gallery.

This has some first person perspective, but it’s mostly 2nd perspective. I was trying something new, hope you all like it!

Neither of the themes above are explored in great detail, but still proceed with caution.

I am tempted to write a part 2 to this.

Enjoy!

Creature of The Dark

“Promise me you won’t try to handle things on your own anymore”

“Alright. I promise.”

‘Hmm.

I really should’ve stuck a needle in your eye the day you broke that promise. You promised it Theo, and yet when the first obstacle arrived in our view, you chose to try and handle it on your own. I guess old habits die hard. Or I was just always meant to be your shadow, only there when there was light.’

But you were always a creature of the dark.

You tried to make living, barely making it by each month you had to pay rent. But this month, today, you lost your job. Not even having money to buy yourself ingredients to make meals for tomorrow onwards, you sat down on the bare, hard, wooden floor and let your mind wander.

Leaving the mansion and cutting ties with everyone at the mansion seemed like a good idea back then. After all, the residents learned of your and Theo’s fight in the morning if they didn’t wake up from your raised voices.

You accused him of breaking his promise. He accused you of not having any trust in him. At first his words hurt. They still sting, like a needle in your heart, 4 months later. But in retrospective, he is right. You don’t have any trust in him. He broke one promise before that and still made no effort to try and show he is worthy of your trust.

Your stomach made a rumbling noise and you put your hands around your frame, knees cradling your head. Maybe you should’ve accepted Comte’s help. Or at least leave one bridge unburnt. But spite and hurt are intense emotions and now you can finally see that everyone’s actions have consequences.

Tomorrow morning, your fairytale of living on your own in 19th century France, was going to meet the cold and harsh reality. The winter was settling, preventing you from sleeping outside.

Should you go to Shakespeare? He’s Vincent’s friend, and Vincent was almost like a family. But what if you see Vincent there? How will you explain yourself to any of them? They are not stupid. No. Shakespeare is not an option.

Letting out a groan, you ran a hand through your hair, messing it up completely. Tears ruined your face even further and the weight of everything has finally settled on your shoulders, threatening to break you.

‘You didn’t have a job. You didn’t have money. You didn’t have family. You didn’t have friends. You were alone. You are alone. You pushed everyone away! You have nothing, you are nothing! You even lost your purpose as Theo’s shadow, thinking you deserve better things? Pfft, don’t be so pathetic Y/n. Don’t you have any pride left? Are you seriously going to give up now?’

‘Or have I given up a long time ago?’

Whole night you tried to fall asleep, but you knew that it wouldn’t be your sweet escape from reality. This is deemed to be a dreamless night. But better that than a nightmare.

The next day you gathered your belongings and started wandering through town. There was nothing better you could do either way. The door back to “present” wouldn’t open for at least a week, full moon not yet arriving and sparing you the agony.

You would be lying if you said you hoped to not run into any of the 11 residents. Sebastian could be going shopping today. Napoleon and Isaac could be going to teach kids. Anyone could be out, even Theo taking care of things on his own. And yet, fate didn’t bring you to any of them.

Defeated, you sat on the fountain ledge and placed your head in your hands, letting out a long sigh. You were out of options. You can’t just waltz back into the mansion. You can’t just come and go whenever there was something you didn’t like.

Something wet hit your knee and you peeled your face from its sanctuary of your palms, your eyes a bit wider than usual. You weren’t crying, right? You placed your fingers under your eye just as another droplet hit the tip of your nose. You looked up to see thick, dark clouds above your head.

‘Damn it!’ you cursed in your head. You need to find a shelter, so you made your way under some eaves. Maybe it will just be a quick rain. But the downpour that started just moments later crushed any hope you had left. Even if you had roof over your head, you were drenched and furious.

You are going to freeze to death here. The night was not going to wait for someone to save you, you need to do it yourself. You saw a carriage approaching and you waved at the driver, thankful when he stopped. You made your way in and told him the address you still knew by heart.

After a short ride and your last money leaving your pocket, you found yourself standing in front of an art gallery. Your last resort. Making your way to the front door. You pushed them slowly open.

“Welcome, feel free to have a look…” his words faltered when he saw you. You were soaked and shaking, clearly freezing. Your hair and clothes were a mess, your gaze cast down to the floor. “Y/n…”

“I didn’t know where else to go” your voice was quiet, like it would break at any second. “I’m sorry…” like you would break at any second.

So many memories and emotions flashed through both of you. Yet neither of you had the courage to make the first move, to speak first.

“I-I can leave if I am bothering!” you stuttered, fearing the ocean blue eyes of the vampire you once called your lover.

“No, stay” you weren’t even sure you heard him right. “We can talk in the morning if you want?”

Four months have passed without a single word spoken between you two. But you both still felt attached to each other.

“That would be nice” a small smile on both of your faces. “Thank you, Theo.”

“Anytime Hondje” your heart sung as he used his old nickname for you.

And with that, you made your way to the upstairs of the gallery where there was a couch you could get some rest on.

There’s this romantic myth that wherever you have beauty marks are your soulmate’s favourite places/s to kiss you in your past lives so, I wanted to write that for myself with some of my fave ikevamp boys (since i have loads of beauty marks)!

Warning: le Comte’s story in this post has a mention of partial nudity. Please do not read if you could be uncomfortable with such content.

~~~~~~~~~~

Arthur Conan Doyle, (Knee):

“Ah, luv, wait!” Arthur caught MC’s hand in his own as she turned to leave, a sweet smile on his lips as their eyes met, “Your shoelace in untied, my sweet.” The author knelt in front of his lover, smiling softly as he carefully retied the loose lace of her heeled boot, “What am I going to do with you?” Arthur chuckled, his warm hand gently holding on to MC’s lithe calf muscle before he craned his head forward to place a gentle kiss against her knee and then another, “Oh, what’s this?” Arthur quickly untied the lace of his girlfriend’s other boot, a cheeky grin plastered all over his face, “Let me do that up for you, princess.” And he repeated the steps of tying up her shoe and sweetly kissing her knee, smiling lovingly all the while. The vampire rose to his feet, and gazed at MC lovingly, “Hurry back, now. I don’t want you to go too long missing me.”

Isaac Newton, (Shoulder blade):

Isaac rubbed his eyes with confusion; It was the middle of the night, why wasn’t MC by his side and sleeping soundly? The brilliant physicist got out of bed and wandered about the halls of the vast Parisian mansion in search of his beloved until he found her in the library, sleeping with her head resting on her folded arms. Isaac looked down at her, his expression puzzled until he noticed her open diary which had within words of her adoration for him and his face relaxed and softened. “MC?” The vampire whispered to his girlfriend gently, craning his head downward until his lips met her shoulder blade, kissing her twice, not wanting to shock her into waking up, “Come back to bed, darling. You’ll be far more comfortable there ... w-with me.” Isaac scooped MC up into his surprisingly strong arms, smiling down at her as she cuddled against his warm chest, “Don’t you worry, I promise I’ll cuddle you when we get there.”

William Shakespeare, (Wrist):

The music of delicate violins and rich cellos sung through the warm summer air as William held MC in his arms ever so tenderly, his eyes gentle and soft when they met her own. The pair danced for what could have been hours without a care for the rest of the world, so swept up in their perfectly romantic eventide, “Thou art purely enchanting, bluebird of mine.” William squeezed MC’s hand softly as the music shifted from one song to the next, the next tune one he knew well, “ ‘Tis Chopin’s music, to be sure.” The poet let go of his fiancée's hand only to clasp her wrist carefully and bring it up to his lips, kissing her skin before piercing it with one fang, grinning with satisfaction at MC’s beautiful pink blush as he lapped at her blood and kissed the puncture wound he had made on her wrist, “If music be the food of love, play on.”

le Comte de Saint-Germain, (Directly over heart):

“Good morning, ma chérie,” le Comte smiled warmly at MC as she woke up slowly, blinking the sleep from her eyes and snuggling closer to her husband who chuckled softly, “Aren’t you such a sweet little thing?” The nobleman cupped his left hand around the back of MC’s head and stroked her hair gently, as if she were the most delicate thing on Earth - They stayed there for a while, just enjoying the bliss of married life. Comte reluctantly rose from the bed, frowning slightly down at his wife when he noticed that the strap of her silk nightgown had torn, exposing her left breast, “Oh dear,” he mumbled, taking the strap between his fingers and bowing his head to place kiss after soft kiss upon her skin, right over her heart, “At least now I have an excuse to buy you more pretty nightdresses.”

Thank you so much for your request, Anon! I’m actually a dance teacher so, this was the most exciting thing to see in my askbox ^^ I kinda stuck to ballroom styles for this but, they’re all very intimate dances so, I hope you like it! I also included some fun examples from Strictly Come Dancing because its one of my favourite shows and an absolute staple for those of us in the UK! + It provides some lovely visuals for y’all 💛

- JJ x

~~~~~~~~~~

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:

Okay, hear my out here but, I think that Wolfie would be so into you teaching him some more sensual styles of dance. And my goodness what I wouldn’t give to see this man dancing the Paso Doble. Now I’m not saying he could pull it off - As we all know, he’s a graceful, elegant man but, I think he’d have fun no matter how well he can manage the steps.

I think, what Mozart can’t manage in terms of speed and skill with the Paso Doble, he’d more than make up for sensuality. He’d never dream of dancing it with you where the two of you wouldn’t have complete privacy as he wants to keep that intense, sexy energy between the two of you alone. He gets really into it just to see you blush and get flustered in his arms. Here’s a lovely example!

Napoleon Bonaparte:

Napoleon gets really into it! This man is Mediterranean and the most modern of this group of suitors so, I see him being really good at sexier styles of dance.

Arguably, one of the most sensual styles of dance is the Argentine Tango and Napoleon takes to it like a duck to water. There’s this absolutely enchanting Argentine Tango routine from Strictly Come Dancing here and I cannot help but imagine that it’s me and Napoleon dancing it whenever I watch it.

Dancing with you quickly becomes one of his favourite activities and at least once a week, Napoleon will invite you to the ballroom to dance with him. He’s an intense man and that certainly shows with just how intimate and sensual the dances you share are.

Le Comte de Saint Germain:

Comte is the perfect gentleman and an elegant aristocrat at that, so, he’s a little awkward when you’re trying to teach him how to dance more sensually. There’s no denying that he more of a romantic Waltz kinda guy - Side note, I always picture le Comte and me dancing this piece together whenever I hear this song omg 🥺

When he loosens up a little, Comte can actually pull off a rather decent Salsa, surprisingly! He can’t quite get the roll of the hips right but, he’s got passion for it - Especially if you’re his dance partner. His gorgeous golden eyes are focused on your gorgeous body as the pair of you let loose and dance around like there’s no tomorrow. Just le Comte doing this dance with his focus glued on you because he’ll be damned if this isn’t the most intimate thing you do together outside of the bedroom.

William Shakespeare:

He gets too distracted with watching the utterly enchanting way that your hips sway and roll to focus on actually learning the dances you’re trying to teach him. Shakespeare is willing to try pretty much anything and he has to admit, he rather enjoys his dance lessons with you, even if it’s not necessarily the dancing he enjoys the most.

Will is not the strongest of dancers but, what he lacks in skill he more than makes up for in intensity: He will take any style of dance you throw at him and make it almost unbearably intimate. He is a big fan of the Samba and often lets you take control simply to watch the sexy sway of your hips. Here’s an excellent example!

He makes a habit of taking you on dates to the open-air theatre in the middle of the night so the two of you or just you on stage while he watches eagerly from the audience can dance under the moonlight.

Bonuses:

Okay but Arthur would be bloody excellent at fun dances like Jive and the Charleston. I tend to think of him dancing whenever I watch this!

Theo is a romantic man, lets be honest so, his favourite dance is the Foxtrot. Just imagine dancing this piece around the candlelit ballroom together while he gazes at you so intensely romantically 🥺

Okay this one is specifically for @dazaiswindow : Dazai isn’t the strongest of dancers but, I believe he’d easily pull off a cute lil’ American Smooth. Something sweet and a bit campy but also really romantic in places like this dance which I absolutely adore!

Vincent is a big fan of the Waltz and always makes dancing with you the most romantic of experiences. Picture him doing this variation just holding you so tenderly and carefully as you dance.

Okay, I don’t care that canonically Leonardo can’t dance simply because the image of him doing a Viennese Waltz will forever live in my head rent free. Have this stunning example!

Which Ikevamp Suitor is my True Love?

Okay so, I want to scientifically prove (not actual science or psychology) which of the Ikemen Vampire suitors I am the most compatible with. Don’t ask me why, I have absolutely no idea, it's just something I felt like doing.

Please keep in mind that these are all just my opinions and that I’m not trying to shade any of the suitors at all (after all, they are fictional)! I just thought that this idea was kinda fun ^^

The judging criteria are as follows:

Personality type

Love language

Communication

Similarities, differences and interests

A bonus random criteria based on each individual suitor (1 positive and 1 negative)

Please forgive any typos / grammatical errors I have made because this post is literally the longest thing I have ever written + took me over a month to make >2<

- JJ x

~~~~~~~~~~

Napoleon Bonaparte:

Personality type

Napoleon has the hero personality archetype He’s brave, loyal and protective. He’s most likely an ENFJ which could go either wonderfully or terribly with me as I’m an INFP. I think I would really appreciate Napoleon’s rationality and protective traits in a relationship. He is also open and caring, which are traits that compliment my own.

Love language

Okay so, I think Napoleon’s love language was one of the hardest for me to figure out but, I have concluded that it is Acts of Service. I appreciate this love language a lot and I think that it could work very nicely in a relationship but, as someone who is very independent, I think I may not always appreciate it.

Communication

Napoleon is inherently honest and direct, despite his teasing, which I really like about him! He’s easy to read and often very clear about his intentions, needs and desires which is a trait which I greatly appreciate. I think that the two of us would be able to communicate quite easily.

Similarities, differences and interests

Now, Napoleon and I don’t have the most in common and we’re not too similar as people but I think that our differences could serve to strengthen our relationship. For example; I’m a caregiver archetype which compliments Napoleon’s hero personality immensely! I feel like we could bond over both being great teachers and that we could both share knowledge that would benefit each other. I also cannot stress this enough: I bloody love fencing and would be so down to spar with him!

Bonus Criteria (Positive)

I really appreciate and understand Napoleon’s protective nature and I feel like that’s something we could bond over. He has mentioned that he is responsible and that is something I really crave in others as I have a tendency to be a little irresponsible.

Bonus Criteria (Negative)

I’m super afraid of birds, like, ridiculously scared of birds. I feel like to have a healthy relationship, you have to get on with your partner’s pets, which would absolutely not happen here - I would just run away from Jupiter crying because he’s a very large scary bird.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:

Personality type

Mozart shows signs of being the Everyman personality type. He wants to feel like he belongs somewhere, with someone, whilst also seeking creative liberation - Musical perfection. These are both things that I strongly relate to, so plus points on that front. I see him being an INTJ.

Love Language

Mozart’s love language is Physical Touch which is the same as mine. I feel like in terms of craving affection and intimacy, we are extremely similar which is amazing! I feel like I would always be able to approach Mozart and openly seek physical affection from him without fear which is honestly such a wonderful thing.

Communication

Mozart has a bit of an attitude - He has a sharp tongue and is an immense tease, which paired with his often mean aura / tone is something I could struggle with. However, when he is sincere and he drops his meaner comments, I really like the way Mozart is able to express his feelings. I feel like we’d somewhat struggle to communicate with each other.

Similarities, differences and interests

We share a key interest in music! I play the piano and violin much like he does though, since he is a musical purist, I feel like Mozart might be a little harsh with me as I’m not as skilled as he is. But, that key interest is spectacular as Mozart’s entire reason for living is music and I feel like he could really benefit from being with someone who also has a strong connection to music (me!). I also speak German which is another great bonding point for us.

Bonus Criteria (Positive)

I admire Mozart’s aesthetic and dedication to his craft. Music is difficult and despite all that he went through, he still dedicates himself to composing and playing which I find just so amazing. I also once got an award for dedication to the arts (theatre arts and music) so, that's a core value which we share.

Bonus Criteria (Negative)

Once again, my large bird phobia. As I said in Napoleon’s section, I have an intense fear of birds, particularly large birds and I don’t think that that is something Mozart would appreciate given how much he loves Schelm.

Leonardo Da Vinci:

Personality type

Leonardo is a very extroverted person which slightly terrifies me as an introvert. I see Leo being an ENTP as he is extremely caring and social, which are both traits that I really admire, as well as being a very skilled polymath. Leonardo is the Jester personality who seeks enjoyment and connection with others which are also things that I crave, however, I tend to find it rather difficult to connect with more spontaneous, wilder personalities like Leonardo even if we do provide each other with balance.

Love Language

Leonardo’s love language is 100% Quality Time which is absolutely lovely! I really appreciate this in relationships, however, as I get very easily overwhelmed, I need a lot of alone time which I think Leonardo might struggle with. This is not to say that he’s clingy he is a bit tho, it's just that I think Leonardo would find it disheartening that I often have to take a lot of breaks from other people.

Communication

Leonardo bottles up all of his true emotions and his most important feelings because, like me, he is a people pleaser. He tends to only share his true feelings with le Comte, which, as far as healthy communication in a relationship goes, isn’t great. It doesn’t help the situation that I feel very insecure when those I love don’t feel like they can open up to me. However, we both communicate verbal affection through pet names and playful banter, which is a huge positive! I feel like Leonardo is the kind of person I could be very honest with emotionally, too, like I could be safe to share my feelings with him and he wouldn’t judge me.

Similarities, differences and interests

Leonardo and I share a lot of traits, actually: We’re both naturally curious and we’re both very family oriented, found family, that is. We also share an interest in art, music and culture. To two of us are also both natural helpers as we enjoy helping others to fix their problems, whether it be mending physical things or aiding through emotional turmoils.

Bonus Criteria (Positive)

I feel like we would be able to talk about everything and anything that we’re interested in for hours and not get bored of the conversation. Also, he’s a great teacher, and I’m such a little knowledge goblin, I love to learn new things, so Leonardo could just teach me so many things; Italian, painting, sculpture, etc. That also would play into his love language of Quality Time which is so lovely because it’d fulfill us both emotionally as well as making him feel loved.

Bonus Criteria (Negative)

He is very stuck in his ways and stubborn which, as someone who likes change and variety, I would struggle with a bit. Leonardo tends to be quite single minded and doesn’t really consider how things might be from other people’s perspectives which isn’t very very plus ultra of him.

Arthur Conan Doyle:

Personality type

Arthur is definitely an ENTP: He’s intellectual, enjoys challenges and is rather curious. He shows traits of being the Lover archetype - He desires intimacy and experience, hence him taking MC on little detective missions in his route. I really love these things about Arthur because I can relate to them: I crave intimacy and new experiences and am naturally curious.

Love Language

I believe that Arthur’s love language is Words of Affirmation, I mean, he’s a writer, so words are his strong suit. He also goes out of his way to vocally remind people that he loves and cares about them (pet names, compliments, teasing, etc). This is something I really really love about Arthur too because he's always honest about his romantic feelings, even if it does take him a while to admit to them.

Communication

Now, here is where I think that Arthur and I might struggle a little. A lot of what Arthur says just goes completely over my head because he makes lots of metaphors and references that I don’t get. He also has this mask he uses to hide his true nature to protect himself, and he finds it very hard to be upfront about his deep issues. On the other hand, though, once Arthur rids himself of that facade, he’s honest and upfront about everything that he feels, which I really appreciate (we stan character development)!

Similarities, differences and interests

Arthur and I don’t actually have lots of similar interests apart from writing, alcohol and dogs. I feel like I could learn to love mysteries because of him, though! He and I are both rather gentle and domestic types of people which is such a lovely similarity that we share. I’m also very competitive, so we’d either get on like a house on fire or really butt heads when it comes to games. And, not to get too depressing but, I also suffer with my mental health so, I really understand what Arthur goes through - I feel like he could do with the support of someone who can relate to what he experiences.

Bonus Criteria (Positive)

I’m a dog person and when I tell you that Vic is one of my favourite of the Ikevamp pets (literally in my top 3). I also feel like we could really have fun teasing Isaac together because I can be quite mischievous.

Bonus Criteria (Negative)

I feel like Arthur would make me feel really intellectually inferior - Not on purpose, of course! Just, he’s so clever with mysteries, games and connecting little details, whereas I’m not really very logical in that sense.

Isaac Newton:

Personality type

Isaac is rather shy and quiet; an introvert like me. He is an INTP with traits relating to the Sage personality type. I feel like the two of us would get along because we understand each other’s need for solitude and truth, as well as the comfort of quiet, gentle relationships with others.

Love Language

It was quite hard to determine Isaac’s love language but I'm pretty confident that it's Quality Time, which I know may seem hard to believe given his need for solitude but, hear me out! He does get emotionally tired but, in his route he goes out of his way to spend time with MC because he enjoys seeing her smile and wants to preserve those moments for as long as possible. I think that in his case, it’d nicely balance out with my need for alone time since that is also something Isaac also needs quite a bit of.

Communication

Much like with Arthur, a lot of what Isaac says completely goes over my head and I find it so difficult to keep up with him sometimes. That being said, he is honest about his feelings and tends to be very matter-of-fact about things which is something I really need when interacting with others.

Similarities, differences and interests

Okay, I love science but, I cannot comprehend 90% of it, especially not physics. I also cannot handle maths at all, I struggle with those topics so much so that’s definitely a downside because that’s like Isaac’s whole thing. Though, we are similar in some ways: We’re both good teachers and like to share our knowledge in order to help others better themselves.

Bonus Criteria (Positive)

I feel like it would be very fun to play games with Isaac, which is actually something we have in common; We both love board and card games! That’s a nice lil thing the two of us could bond over, plus, it is a form of spending quality time together which, as we have learnt, is Isaac’s love language. I feel like I would make it my absolute mission to play him at chess at least once a day in hopes of one day beating him!

Bonus Criteria (Negative)

Isaac has this habit of being very stubborn and stuck in his ways like Leonardo. While I don’t think that he’s as bad as Leo, it would still cause this kind of rift between us. He is not single-minded and does show the ability to view situations for different perspectives, Isaac gets into his head about what may be best for someone else without consulting them first and then being extremely stubborn about it.

Vincent van Gogh:

Personality type

Vincent is very close to me in terms of personality as he’s an INFP (The same as me!). He’s the Innocent archetype, craving true happiness and possessing the traits of faith, optimism and naivety. Once again, because we are so fundamentally similar, I feel like we’d get on really well and understand each other but, it might cause a bit of imbalance in a romantic relationship.

Love Language

Words of Affirmation. I’m going to be honest, I struggled to get to this conclusion as Vincent seems to have traits of having several love languages but, I think it is probably Words of Affirmation - This is mostly due to the confession scene in his route. Once again, I can really appreciate this in a relationship especially as Vincent has this great balance of direct honesty as well as compliments and metaphorical word choices.

Communication

I think that once he feels ready to open up and expose his “undesirable” emotions that we’d be able to communicate really well together! We’re both on the same wavelength so I can’t see there being a lot of communication issues here, especially since I have the feeling that I’d find it very easy to trust Vincent.

Similarities, differences and interests

We’re both creatives, we both produce art of some kind which is just the best because people drawn towards art are always kindred spirits. I also adore Vincent’s works, so to be able to discuss them and enthuse about them with him would be so lovely, especially since he could use a confidence boost when it comes to his art sometimes. Additionally, there is strength behind both of our softer natures which would make us such a great team!

Bonus Criteria (Positive)

We both speak Dutch* so we could bond over that! We also have very similar outlooks on life which means we could easily relate to each other and probably get on very well. I feel like I’d find it really easy to spend time in Vincent’s company, like I’d be able to trust him and relax around him with ease.

*Please note, my Dutch isn’t great cause I’m still in the early stages of learning.

Bonus Criteria (Negative)

Um, racoons really creep me out so, as much as I want to love Brush, he gives me the heebie jeebies. Also, Vincent really lacks self confidence and, as much as I’d love to be able to rectify that, I’m not sure that I’d be the right person for the job (I am not a therapist). And I think the fact that both of us are insecure messes wouldn’t go so well.

Theodorus van Gogh:

Personality type

Theo has the Artist personality archetype: He is a visionary, a perfectionist and he desires to create culture, or rather, have a hand in expanding culture. I see him as an ISTP. Theo is kind at the core, wanting to improve, help and innovate but, he is also expertly organised and incredibly dedicated to his work. I admire his passion, though, I see how us being very similar could cause imbalance. Though, that being said, Theo and I are really quite different as people.

Love Language

Physical Touch, 100% and I cannot be convinced otherwise. Simply put, Theo has canonically admitted that he’s not good at expressing his feelings with words and, during his and MC’s relationship, he often expresses a craving to touch her. Theo and I share this love language which just makes my little heart sing! I really understand Theo’s need for physical affection to give him security and to ground him, and also his way of showing his feelings when his words fail.

Communication

Despite his teasing and his brash attitude, Theo is very to the point and direct. As I’ve said, this is something that I absolutely need in other people because I find it hard to read between the lines of sarcasm and metaphors and such. Also, Theo did show in his route (and in several event stories) the ability to ease off on his teasing and completely drop it at points when MC had asked him to. In short, that is a massive plus for me because sometimes, I really cannot deal with being teased. Though that being said, he does take it a little too far sometimes which would put up a barrier between us in terms of communication.

Similarities, differences and interests

Once again, we’re both drawn to art and culture, meaning that we are kindred spirits. We also share the same core values of kindness, caring and family which means that we would probably really be able to click with each other. Also, we’re both big fans of sweets! Our differences would also have the potential to make our bond stronger as whilst neither of us lack anything alone, we’d be able to complete a stronger puzzle together: He is loud, brash and confident whereas I am soft spoken, gentle and shy. (Thank you @cauldroncatx since I basically just used your logic from the self ship you wrote for me x)

Bonus Criteria (Positive)

King is my favourite of the pets and I’ll stand by that forever, I love that dog so much. Theo’s also arguably the best of the suitors to snuggle with, too, which, as we’ve discovered is totally my thing. And without wanting to sound shallow, Theo is totally my type in terms of looks - I personally think he is the most physically attractive of all of the suitors. Plus, we both speak Dutch!

Bonus Criteria (Negative)

Theo can be a little harsh sometimes. I am very sensitive, so I can see his kinda rough around the edges brand of affection making me a little upset or insecure, even if he didn’t mean it. And not to say that his dedication to his work is a bad thing (because being passionate about your job is an absolutely amazing trait) but, I feel like I’d very easily feel as if his work mattered more to him than me because I am very insecure oop-

Jean D’Arc:

Personality type

Jean is a quiet, true introvert but, he has a heart of pure gold and strong will. He’s the Outlaw archetype and an ISFP; A gentle, protective man who seeks nurturing and helpful environments and people. I admire Jean’s protectiveness, quietness and dedication.

Love Language

Acts of Service and I think that's pretty obvious. Like I said above, he’s extremely protective, so I feel like he’d never be far from my side just in case I needed him. I love this and find it incredibly sweet but, I am staunchly independent and I feel like this love language could become quite overwhelming for me to be exposed to so often. That's of course not to say that I don’t appreciate it! I just struggle a lot with people helping me - I like to be able to complete tasks and shoulder my burdens alone.

Communication

Now here I think me and Jean may run into some issues, at least at the start of our relationship. He doesn’t really know how to express himself or communicate his needs to others as he shut himself away for so long and I think that trying to break through that initial wall that he puts up would be so draining. I’d by all means do anything to communicate with Jean healthy but, I think that I might struggle in the beginning because he just makes no effort to uphold that line of communication (in his route, that is).

Similarities, differences and interests

I adore fencing and would absolutely love to practice / spar with Jean! I feel like he’d appreciate another person to spar with apart from Napoleon and I’d love to be that person. I’m often told that I’m a good teacher so, I feel like I could be a stable and patient source of guidance in Jean’s reading and writing + I would just really like to help him. Jean also loves horses which is so lovely because I also love horses! It’d just be so nice to go riding out in the countryside with him in the summer.

Bonus Criteria (Positive)

I fully believe that Jean would be the best suitor to hold hands with and I just love soft intimacy like that. He’s also so incredibly gentle and tender which I would really appreciate in a relationship. I feel like Jean would be one of the best cuddlers, too.

Bonus Criteria (Negative)

Jean works in a weaponry shop and being around lots of dangerous things would not be the best thing for my anxiety. I also cannot deal with conflict at all and Jean seems to attract quite a lot of conflict so I feel like I’d be just constantly nervous if we ever went out to the city together. Plus, I’d have to yeet out of the situation every time that he and Comte are in the same room together because I can't be dealing with all that tension.

Dazai Osamu:

Personality type

I think that Dazai is an ENFP, despite his rather dark outlook on life. He has a lot of faith in those that he cares about and seems to find inspiration in the oddest little places which is something that I love about him! I mentioned in another post of mine that I think of Dazai like a plum: Dark and moody but having a bright, kind, sweet centre. He’s got such a warm soul despite everything and that is just so lovely about him.

Love Language

Quality Time and Words of Affirmation - I really couldn’t pinpoint it between the two so, I decided on just considering both. Dazai’s brand of Quality Time spending with his lover seems to be gentle strolls around the countryside or just sitting together reading just enjoying each other’s company and I love that! It doesn’t necessarily have to include conversation which drains me emotionally but rather simply enjoying the fact that we’re sharing the same space. I’d really really love to do this with Dazai. Plus, his Words of Affirmation would be so cute: Soft bits of advice and compliments along with gentle encouragement. I would really appreciate these things in a relationship.

Communication

We would struggle a bit I think. Dazai keeps his heart very closely guarded and takes an awfully long time + immense effort to open up to others. I think that this would cause a bit of a rift between us as I am very much an open book and do encourage those that I love to open up to me if they can - I’m an empath and I strive to fix other people’s problems which Dazai could interpret as invasive. But on the other hand, I believe that I could trust him and open up to him and that may encourage him to be a little less scared about opening up to me?

Similarities, differences and interests

Writing is Dazai’s whole thing which is awesome because I am also a writer! I think Dazai would kinda vibe with the idea of fanfiction and I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that he’d write fanfiction about his lover and just the thought of that makes me blush a little. Dazai is a mischievous man who enjoys playful banter and getting himself into trouble and whilst I am rather different in that regard, I think that I could learn to love causing a little bit of chaos is Dazai taught me how. Also just a small thing, I’d just love to clamber through windows with him or let him into my room via the window if he were climbing up the side of the mansion in the middle of the night.

Bonus Criteria (Positive)

Every time that he pops up in event stories or the other routes, Dazai makes me smile. Whether it be him giving lovely advice, playful banter or making me laugh so hard it makes my tummy hurt because he’s being a silly goose, Dazai never fails to make me happy. He seems to be this odd little ray of sunshine despite everything that he goes through and I really adore and admire those kinds of people.

Bonus Criteria (Negative)

Now Bunta is a bird (as we know, I fear birds) but I think I’d kinda be able to deal with him? Idk he’s small and seems polite. However, I wouldn’t be the most comfortable around the lil green boy and Dazai absolutely adores him so, we may run into some problems there. Also, Dazai is a wreck and I’m not sure how good I’d be at handling that like, the poor man is so messed up and as much as I’d want to stick by him and help him through every trial and tribulation, I think it’d be rather draining.

William Shakespeare:

Personality type

I can see Will as an ENFP with the Explorer archetype as he yearns to find both personal and artistic paradise, even if he has some rather unorthodox methods of reaching it. I really struggle with the whole yandere archetype, I don’t know, it just really turns me off, so that’s a major disadvantage here. I won’t lie, I’m really afraid of him, even though I love him, so I see that being a massive disservice if he and I were in a relationship because being afraid of your partner is not healthy.

Love Language

Another one I struggled to determine, but, I think that Shakespeare’s love language is a mixture of Quality Time and Physical Touch which are both wonderful things! However, given how unhinged Will is, I have a feeling that he would not cope well at all with my need for space and alone time. Shakespeare’s brand of physical touch is also very restrictive with his penchant for, um, tying the people that he loves up and, I don’t really vibe with that, unfortunately. Though, that being said, I can see Will’s gentler side and I do believe that it is genuine - His delicate touches and gentlemanly aura are both things that I think I would appreciate in a relationship with him.

Communication

Despite the negatives, I actually think that Shakespeare and I would be able to really easily communicate with each other. Just from a speech stand point, I studied Shakespearean / Elizabethan English and have a decent grasp on it so, I’m easily able to understand his funky speech patterns. However, he is rather secretive and I’m sure that his unwillingness to open up would make me feel quite insecure.

Similarities, differences and interests

Firstly we are both avid thespians, like Shakespeare lives and breathes the theatre and we’d be able to connect there! We’re also both big fans of costumes and funky Elizabethan styles of clothes. Will also loves tea and cake and I have a feeling that he’s an excellent baker so, we could have lovely little tea parties together and bond while we sit in his parlour chatting.

Bonus Criteria (Positive)

Puck is one of the best Ikevamp pets and I love him! I’ve kept rabbits since I was a very young child and have a special bond with them so, I just know that me and Puck would get along so well. I’d give him all of the pats and plenty of treats and cuddles. And I wasn’t sure if I should put this in the positive or the negative category so, I’ve decided to put it here: I am a massive fan of Shakespeare’s works so I’d simply gush over him and tell him how much I adore him. The reason I say this could be a negative thing is because, as we know, William is unhinged and yandere and would probably tie me up to keep me by his side if he found out that I’m like his super-fan. But you know, I’d probably get used to it and, it’s always nice to spend time with those who you love,,

Bonus Criteria (Negative)

I’m terrified of this man! As much as I adore Shakespeare, his work and his aesthetic, it just isn’t healthy to be afraid of the people in you life. Like I think I wrote before, I am scared of yandere characters and that just wouldn’t be a healthy dynamic. Plus, Shakespeare is super shady with his working with Vlad and him backstabbing le Comte, Leonardo and Vincent (among others).

Le Comte de Saint Germain:

Personality type

Le Comte is the true INFJ, here. He seeks harmony and peace whilst being organised, elegant and compassionate. He’s dependable and gentle and I feel like personality wise, Comte and I would just fit together so well whether that be romantically or not. We’re similar but, just different enough to compliment each other’s traits really well.

Love Language

Comte’s love language is Gift Giving and while I think that all love languages are beautiful and valid, I feel so uncomfortable when people give me gifts. I mean, I can handle the odd bouquet or bottle or perfume on special occasions but, I get the impression that le Comte is the kind of man to gift his lover with lavish, expensive presents whenever the mood strikes him. Maybe I could get to used to it? But, I have the feeling that Comte’s tendency to bestow half of Paris unto his lover every time that he leaves the mansion might overwhelm me a bit.

Communication

Now this man has a lot of secrets. However I feel like I’d really be able to trust Comte and be free to open up to him without fear of judgement - I really appreciate this about him. And despite his secrets, Comte is always honest and gentle with his words, often offering compliments and advice with tough decisions. I think that he and I would probably be able to communicate with each other pretty well. Though that being said, I might feel like he was keeping things from me and that’d make me feel quite insecure.

Similarities, differences and interests

We both share a similar aesthetic: Elegant, turn of the century grace. We also both love / play the violin and ballroom dancing! He’s also super cultured and speaks like a whole bunch of languages which I’d be able so speak and practice with him. I can picture Comte and I waltzing around the ballroom by candlelight together whilst he whispers me sweet nothings in French, Italian, German, Hungarian and many other languages and it is a damn pretty thought 🥺 Also he is a connoisseur of tea and sweets so the two of us could have cute lil tea dates together out in the gardens or by the fireplace.

Bonus Criteria (Positive)

This man would do anything to make his loved ones feel comfortable, safe and happy and that is something I really admire. I feel like Comte would be an incredibly caring and doting lover, offering back rubs and cuddles after long days of work. I also 100% bet that he’s the best kisser out of the suitors and I can’t really be convinced otherwise - take that as you will.

Bonus Criteria (Negative)

Okay but, I hate to drag another one of the pets into this but, ferrets creep me out just a bit so, I would be quite scared of Thyme unfortunately. Also, le Comte is so secretive and I fear I might think he was keeping things from me even though that’d probably never be the case. Also he leaves the mansion for sometimes days at a time on trips to other times and I’d miss him a lot.

Sebastian / Akihiko Satou:

Personality type

Sebastian is pretty clearly an ISTJ in my mind: He’s a naturally organised and administrative man. He’s stern and strict but kind and dedicated under his harsh exterior and it’s clear that he values the people around him. Sebastian has this kind of dry-wit and flat sense of humour which I find rather adorable even if I don’t understand it.

Love Language

I mean, he’s literally a butler and he loves his job so, I think it’s probably Acts of Service. I think that out of the suitors who have this love language, he’d be the most obvious and stubborn about it: Sebastian would purposefully work himself twice as hard, tire himself out more often and be so stubborn about it for his lover and while I do appreciate it, as I’ve said, I’m independent and like solving problems / completing tasks for myself.

Communication

Sebas is always honest, upfront and clear in his intentions and I love that about him! He lacks a little nuance and certainly doesn’t communicate in hills and valleys being a quite flat, dry man but, I find that rather cute actually. I have a feeling that he and I would clash a little bit because I see that compared to him, I can be loud, annoying and hyperactive but, perhaps that would just balance us out nicely? I’m not sure though, I know I would definitely not appreciate his strictness or his forehead flicking. He’s proven that he’s not the most patient man and since I take quite a while to catch onto things, I can see Sebastian being very frustrated with me quite often.

Similarities, differences and interests

This is so odd but, we both really like cleaning. I feel like we’d work really well alongside each other to keep the mansion in gorgeous, clean order. Also, with him also being from the same time as me, we’d have a deep connection and understanding of the world we came from and be able to connect of that - Like we could talk about pop culture and stuff like that. I am also a big fan of karaage like Sebas is so, we could make it together and share it while we sit in the kitchen after everyone else has gone to bed, gossiping and getting to know each other better. We’re also massive history nerds and I’d 100% help him out with his lil diary even if it is a bit odd.

Bonus Criteria (Positive)

Sebas is this lovely combination of caring and organised. I really admire his ability to categorize, schedule and organise the mansion of 10 geniuses who seem to share only 3 braincells. Also he’s just so neat and clean and as someone who craves neatness, cleanliness and structure, I love Sebastian’s organisation and routineness.

Bonus Criteria (Negative)

I can’t lie, I’d would cry if Sebastian flicked me in the forehead (because of traumatic past incidents, not because of physical pain) and I would be so wary around him and probably try to avoid him if he did do that. I know that he means no significant harm by it but, being physically disciplined like that triggers me and I just would not be able to handle it (if I’m honest, the though alone makes me anxious).

The Verdict

Suitor I’d be most romantically compatible with: Theodorus. He and I would just be able to offer each other so much emotional stability and harmony. We’d be able to understand each other and overcome trials together all whilst sharing the same core values, love language and emotional goals. I feel like we’d be a very strong couple together.

Suitor I’d be least romantically compatible with: Sebastian. I hate to say it because I love our Mr butler man but, we just would be such a mess as a couple and I don’t imagine that we’d work together at all romantically.

Suitor I’d be best friends with: Arthur. We’re quite different as people but we’d get along so so well, with our differences combining to make us a great team! We’d play a lot of games together and be able to offer each other expertise to benefit one another.

Suitor I’m the most similar to: Vincent. We’re most defiantly on the same wavelength and we are just kindred spirits as artists who’d be able to understand each other fundamentally.

Who do you guys think I’m most compatible with? Please let me know cause I’m really curious to see what you guys think ^^

MC Vs William Shakespeare:

As far as everyone at the mansion knew, MC was a sweet, kind and caring person. Despite their troubles, MC was always loving and caring to all 11 of the mansion’s residents so, the currently unfolding events were rather unexpected:

Le Comte de Saint Germain, head of the household had invited William Shakespeare to the mansion for dinner and mostly civil conversation as the pair attempted to amend their strained relationship. However, when Shakespeare sat down with the other residents at the grand dining table, his mismatched eyes caught sight of another, new face. They surely weren’t a vampire, no - they retained a beautiful, living vibrancy that no creature created by le Comte could seem to hold, well, maybe apart from Vincent.

In an awe-struck flourish, the playwright stood from his chair and stepped towards MC, taking their hands in his own soft pair and bringing them to his ever-so-slightly rouged lips, kissing them gently. Shakespeare smirked at the bright blush which painted MC’s cheeks before bowing deeply before them, “Pray tell, turtledove of mine, what is thine name?”

MC stepped back ever so slightly to bow back to the vampire awkwardly, “MC, M-Monsieur.” Shakespeare’s gaze settled upon MC’s own, amused by their flustered expression as they continued to speak, “I’ve not seen you here before, Sir. Are you a friend of le Comte’s?”

Before Shakespeare could respond, the dashing pureblood in question entered the dining room to stand behind MC, putting his large, warm hand on their shoulder, “Is Will bothering you at all MC, my dear?” MC shook their head softly, making the gentlemanly smile on Comte’s lips widen a little, “Très bien.”

“Ah yes,” a gentle, Dutch accent sounded from the table, “MC is very dear to le Comte, Shakespeare. He’d be beside himself if they were to come to any harm or discomfort.” Vincent smiled sweetly at MC after he spoke, picking up his bottle of Rouge as his gaze wandered towards Will, “Like a little gemstone, he calls them.”

After a beat or two of silence, MC’s voice cut through the elaborate dining room, “Wait, wait, you’re William Shakespeare?!”

Will’s pale cheeks flushed a bright pink at the recognition, his delicate hand fluttering to his chest in a gesture of gratitude, “Oh, thou knowst mine name, little mouse? I am naught but flattered.”

MC’s brows furrowed and their cheeks flushed with annoyance in realisation of whom the man that stood before them was. “Yes, I know you,” they seethed quietly, seeming to forget their manners for a moment, “I cannot stand you right now you absolute piece of work-”

“That’s enough now, MC.” Le Comte placed his gentle hand over MC’s mouth before they could continue, noticing the rage bubbling up beneath their skin. The nobleman turned to face Theo who was sat in stunned silence with the rest of the vampires, “Theo, did you put MC up to this?”

The art dealer shook his head and scowled at the accusation before replying roughly, “No. Sure I don’t like the guy but, I didn’t tell the hondje to say anything to him.”

Satisfied, le Comte turned his gaze back to MC and removed his hand from their mouth, “And have you anything to say for yourself, my little gemstone? You should know that such bad behaviour will not be tolerated lightly in this house.”

MC gazed at the pureblood guiltily before turning to look at the floor, shame coating their cheeks with crimson blush, “I’m sorry, le Comte. And I’m sorry to you too, Shakespeare,” they bowed awkwardly before standing up straight, “I’ve been working so hard and getting nowhere with my essays about your plays and I’m ... stressed out. I’m sorry for taking it out on you.”

To MC’s surprise, both le Comte and William began to chuckle lightly, brightening the room’s atmosphere immensely. Shakespeare once again took MC’s hand and kissed it, a gentle smile playing on his lips, “Oh what a charming thing thou art! Thou art irked with mine presence purely for the fact that thou enjoyst mine works and wisheth to understand them!” Will almost giggled, meeting his gaze with MC’s own, “Come come now, mine lamb,” he spoke sweetly as he sat MC down next to him at the table, “This humble bard will teach thee all that thou needst know.”

Theodorus van Gogh groaned into his glass of rouge, “It’s gonna be a long night.”

Shookspeare Fatherhood: Shakespeare

My ducklings it is the last day of #shookspearefatherhood and I have really loved this series with my whole heart! Have you guys enjoyed it? And what mini-series ideas do you think I should write next?

- JJ x

~~~~~~~~~~

Sweetest Eventides, William Shakespeare

Jemima was the absolute apple of Shakespeare and MC's eyes; Spritely and curious with daffodil yellow eyes, muted pinky-brown hair and a love for the theatre, the seven year old was quickly becoming the perfect little copy of her father. The little girl oft' enjoyed joining William on trips to the theatre, playing happily with costumes and props, running around the building whilst her father directed his troupe of actors on stage.

Once all of the actors had packed up and left for the evening, Jemima found herself sat comfortably on Shakespeare’s shoulders, giggling and smiling without a care in the world as she and her father walked home. William gazed up at his daughter, smiling tenderly and listening to her laughter, his heart warm with adoration, “Hast thou enjoyed thine day, Jemima?”

“Mhm,” the child replied, nodding thoughtfully whilst she held onto Will’s coat collar, “Daddy, I always have a good day when we go to the theatre!”

Will chuckled warmly and helped his daughter down off of his shoulders to let her run up to their home’s front door so she might knock upon it, “Oh what a treasure thou art, mine daught’r.” The poet strolled up to stand just behind his child who bounced up and down excitedly as she waited on the doorstep, his heart fluttering about in his chest as he could hear his wife’s footsteps approaching the door from inside their home.

“Look who’s home!” MC beamed down at her daughter after she’d opened the front door, crouching down to let Jemima give her a quick cuddle before the little girl rushed inside the house in search of Puck. The lady stood herself up quickly to usher William into her arms, stroking his long hair whilst she held him, “Good evening, handsome husband of mine.”

“Good eventide to thee, mine radiant wife,” he replied softly, allowing his gentle hands cup her cheeks before placing a few soft kisses to her lips, “Hast thou missed us?”

“You know that I have, Will,” MC giggled at William’s knowing smirk, closing the front door behind them and following her husband into their warm, comfy home, “Would you get Jemima ready for dinner, please? The food will be out of the oven in five minutes,” The lady mentioned, wandering into the kitchen to finish up their family meal.

“That I shalt endeavour to do mine pearl,” the playwright mused sweetly as he turned his attention from watching his wife walk away and towards his daughter who was sat on the window-seat with her beloved bunny in her lap. Shakespeare sat himself down next to Jemima, reaching his delicate hand out to carefully stroke Puck’s soft fur, smiling when the rabbit nuzzled against his hand affectionately, “ ‘Tis time for dinner now, mine lamb,” he said softly to his daughter.

“But, Daddy, I only just sat down to pet Puck!", Jemima replied grumpily, holding the beloved family pet closer to her chest, “I don’t want him to get lonely...”

“Mine lamb, thou art such a kind thing,” Will chuckled before ruffling his daughter’s hair and standing up, beginning to saunter towards the dining room, “Thou mayst pet Puck after dinner. Come hither now, small one.”

Jemima reluctantly placed Puck down in his little bed before following her father into the dining room where her bright yellow eyes widened at the sight of a tall croquembouche at the centre of the dinner table, “Woah!”

William also seemed rather shocked by the 4 foot tall dessert which stood on the table, his mouth hung agape at the huge tower of pastry, “Mine turtledove,” he turned to MC who was simply grinning with glee, “Pray tell, didst thou make that?”

“I did!” Shakespeare’s wife giggled, untying her apron from her waist and draping it over the back of her chair, “I thought I’d surprise my two favourite people with something spectacular.” MC smiled proudly, squeaking with surprise as her husband and daughter both rushed over to hug her lovingly.

“Thank you, MC,” William spoke sweetly, kissing his wife several times before preceding pulling her chair out for her to sit at the dining table, “Thou art truly God’s gift.” Shakespeare wandered around the table and pulled out Jemima’s chair too, waiting for his daughter to sit down and then pushing it up to the table so that she could reach her plate easily, “As are you, mine lamb.”

The poet sat down at the table too, his eyes almost sparkling in the candlelight which lit the happy home. MC reached out her hand toward his own and squeezed it carefully, a tender smile gracing her lips, “I love you, Will. You’re wonderful.”

“Love you Daddy and Mummy!” Jemima perked up, grinning toothily as her parents’ eyes widened a little before they both blushed and smiled at their daughter affectionately.

William’s heart warmed at the admissions of love from his two most beloved people, his cheeks rosy and lips curled into a genuine smile, “And we loveth thee too, mine lamb.”

Welcome back, @anna-the-undertaker and may I say it is lovely to see you back in the askbox! Thank you so much for sending this request, it’s so cool and creative ^^ And I am sending you good vibes & hoping that you’re well, also 💗 As for me, I’m coping alright ^^ I’m very busy at university but, I’m managing! I start my new classes this week and I’m so excited to learn new things!

Part 2 can be found here!

~~~~~~~~~~

Arthur Conan Doyle:

At first, Arthur is cocky, flirty and an absolute tease so, when he notices your teeth, he’ll bring it up in one way or another - “Oh, your fangs are so scary, little bird!” He’ll tease over and over again until you eventually get frustrated with him though, Arthur of course had a retaliation, “What are you going to do, bird? Bite me?”

Though, when you simply respond by winking and liking the tip of your sharp tooth, turning the teasing tables on him instead of getting flustered, Arthur will blush and gulp at the thought of your mouth on his neck. He’ll avoid teasing you about your teeth so much to avoid getting flustered around you.

When he finds out that you used to get bullied about your teeth, Arthur will be rather sympathetic and kind to you about it, reminding you to “Pay those bullies no mind, my dove. You’re such a sweet little thing, you needn’t listen to such nonsense,” and always offering you his shoulder to cry on should you need it.

And Arthur can’t describe how proud of you he is when you tell him that you used to bite your bullies in retaliation: Arthur adores your defiant, determined streak that always made you stand up for yourself.

Le Comte de Saint Germain:

He’s a little confused once he sees your teeth, to say the least: How curious, he thought. Comte will kinda hover round you for a few days trying to work out why you seem to have fangs, after all, you don’t smell like a pureblood, and you don’t seem to need blood either.

Comte will call you into his office for a meeting about it under the guise of just a cup of tea and a nice chit-chat - He is mildly suspicious and needs to get to the bottom of this immediately. Le Comte will be so incredibly relieved when you explain that you’re not another pureblood trying to infiltrate the mansion poor paranoid man, he needs a holiday, he’s stressed.

He actually finds your sharp canines quite cute and he can’t imagine why anyone would ever bully you for your lil fangs, in fact, Comte will constantly compliment your teeth whenever the opportunity presents itself. Comte just finds you so adorable and he won’t hesitate to remind you of that.

If Comte finds out that you used to bite others in retaliation to their bullying, he’ll lightly scold you, reminding you, “Ma chérie, we don’t bite others. We have better manners than that in this house.” Though, le Comte really means no harm at all, he just wants you to keep out of harm’s way, which means not biting anyone in retaliation again.

William Shakespeare:

Oh goodness, he is entranced by your beautiful teeth. Shakespeare knows that its an odd little fascination to have but, he cannot stop obsessing over your sharp canines: Staring at them, wondering how it’d feel for you to bite his neck.

Will is a little unhinged so, when you admit that you were bullied in the past, the future? Time travel is whacky, he will vow to find anyone who has ever wronged you and harm them for upsetting you. You will have to convince him that him harming anyone on your behalf isn’t necessary.

If you were to tease him a little by smirking and liking the tip of your canines, Shakespeare would immediately be at your feet, worshipping you, begging you to give you just an ounce of your attention, his eyes blown wide and his focus completely on you.

He’ll write you sonnets and poems with beautiful romantic imagery and vampiric metaphors - Shakespeare writes gorgeous flowery words about how he fanatises about you biting him like how he bites you; its something that he thinks about more than he’d like to admit.

Oh my lovely anon please try to take good care of yourself! And thank you for your request ^^ It was actually quite comforting to write this since I’m also not great at looking after myself >2< and the thought of caring cuddles with the suitors make me so happy 🥺

~~~~~~~~~~

Dazai Osamu:

Now Dazai isn’t great at taking care of himself in the first place - he just forgets to eat or sleep sometimes because he’s too occupied with writing or teasing Isaac. But you can bet that he’ll always take excellent care of you. Even if its just a small, “Toshiko-san, I noticed that you haven’t eaten today so I made you some miso soup. Go on, eat up,” he’ll encourage as he sits with you, making sure you eat at least a few mouthfuls. Or if he notices how purely exhausted you look, struggling to keep your eyes open, Dazai will insist that you sleep beside him so he can ensure you have at least one peaceful night’s rest this week.

When you get irritable, he’ll give you as much space as you need but, he makes sure to send Bunta to check on you once every few hours. Dazai will also leave you little notes around the mansion to find whilst you’re cleaning: in your apron pockets, under your bedroom door, in the bread basket and any creative hiding place he can think of. They tend to be a mixture of encouraging reminders, love notes and short poems to help put a smile on your pretty face during the tougher days.

He’ll be rather calm if you snap at him or suddenly break down crying because he knows that you’re just having a tough time and that he’s not done anything to upset you. Dazai will immediately whisk you away to le thermae with him to treat you to a lovely relaxing bath, washing your hair for you and massaging your tired muscles. Then he’ll lend you some of his pyjamas which are absolutely too big for you and tuck you into bed beside him, snuggling you and reading you old Japanese folk stories until you’re able to drift off to sleep.

Whenever you’ve had a melt down, Dazai will spend the next few days caring for you as best that he can, making all of your meals for you, helping you bathe and making sure you get some exercise by taking you on walks around his favourite parts of the countryside that are just long enough for you to handle. He takes special care to brush and style your hair for you everyday too, whispering in your ear sweet praises and compliments about how utterly beautiful he finds you and how strong you are for continuing to fight and thrive despite your trials and tribulations.

Leonardo Da Vinci:

Leonardo is certainly a hands-on kind of lover- He’s always whisking you away on dates and day trips, and even when you’re just spending the day doing chores, he’s never far away since he cannot bear being far from your side. So when you’re yawning more than usual and when your body is weak from having not eaten a proper meal for a few days, you’d best believe that he has noticed.

Now Leo is the king of naps, this man can and will sleep absolutely anywhere so, when you say that you’ve got a few minutes to spare before your next task, Leonardo will pull you onto the sofa and expect you to be able to just instantly take a little siesta with him. But when he notices that you’re awake and uncomfortably wriggling in his strong embrace despite clearly being fatigued beyond compare, his golden eyes will flicker open, questioning your inability to sleep. Once he works out that you need somewhere more comfortable, Leonardo will carry you bridal style to your bed and hold you closely under the covers, stroking your hair until you’re able to fall asleep.

When you wake up after a much-needed sleep, it’s the middle of the night but, Leonardo has gone to the trouble of preparing you a nutritious meal to eat even though it must be about 2am by now. He’ll scold you lightly about not taking better care of yourself but, he means no harm, he’s just worried about you. “Cara mia, you need to look after yourself too. You are a silly little cara, MC. And if you don’t start taking better care of yourself, I’ll have to become your nanny instead of your boyfriend - and we don’t want that happening, do we?”

He’ll insist that you have a week off of doing housework and will not take no for an answer. Leonardo will spend the week taking care of you and going on fun little dates that aren’t gonna wear you out. He’ll barely leave your side until you’re feeling better.

William Shakespeare:

Once again, Will isn’t great at caring for himself but my goodness is he good at treating you like a goddess, especially when you’re under the weather. And he is sick with worry after the third night in a row when he’s come home to see you wide awake waiting for him despite the dark bags under your eyes and the fact that he knows that you’ve not slept a wink the last few nights.

So Shakespeare will slip into bed beside you and take you in his arms, rubbing soothing circles on your back and begging you to tell him what’s wrong. “Angels needeth their beauty sleep too, mine own muse. Why do you lay awake, so?” William will go to any lengths that he can to get you to fall asleep, even if it’s only for a few hours - You need some music on? He’ll put on the phonograph. You need to cuddle? Then he will not let go of you even if the most urgent of matters called for him elsewhere. You’d best believe that he’d go to the ends of the earth for you.

And if you haven’t been eating, Shakespeare will spend hours making you any food in the world that you could want and sit down with you at the dinner table until you feel able to eat something. And if you managed to take even just a couple of mouthfuls, he’ll be so immensely proud of you. He’s not a bad cook, either!

When he notices you start to get a bit emotional, he’ll give you some extra space by spending a few extra hours out running errands or at the theatre and leave you in Puck’s care. And if you need slightly longer to cool down, a few days perhaps, Shakespeare will go as far as to sleep at the theatre or at a friend’s house for a few nights while you stay at the villa with Puck. He’ll ask Vincent to check on you every day though and have him send him news about your well being and when you want him to return home. When William does come home, he’ll dote on you to no end - Running you a bath, cooking for you and endless cuddles as well as worshipping you in bed for as long as you’ll let him do so seriously this man has an insane amount of stamina 😳

Le Comte de Saint Germain:

Le Comte will notice that you’re fatigued before you even realise that you are. He is incredibly observant so, when he sits beside you at the dinner table after a long day of hard work, he’ll instantly notice how your eyelids are beginning to droop and the grumble of your tummy because you forgot to eat again.

His first move it to sit you down in his office and have a little meeting just to talk about how you’re feeling and why you haven’t been eating or sleeping which yes, is kinda weird given that he’s your boyfriend and not your boss. Comte will give you as much time off from housework as you need and if you try to do work anyway, he’ll catch you and march you back to his bedroom and see that you spend the day relaxing. He absolutely will not leave your side for however long you spend off of work, despite the small mountain of paperwork that’s grown on his desk.

Comte might take you on holiday to try and get your mind off of everything if you’re feeling up to it - He knows a lovely spa down in the south of France he’d love to take you to if you’d join him. And even if you don’t go, he’ll still see to it that you are absolutely pampered at home, giving you massages and preparing you the most delicious food in the world with the help of Sebastian.

If you get irritable at his constant attention though, he’ll give you all of the space and time that you need to recuperate yourself though, he’ll be a bit upset that he can’t spoil you as much as he wants to. Comte will still make sure to check on you once a day and bring you a lovely cup of herbal tea and fresh fruit and bread that he’s picked up especially for you. He’ll leave the tray of food and tea outside your door accompanied by a letter every single day until you feel like you can emerge again. His letters are often several pages long and they absolutely ooze with love and adoration for you. He’s a very sweet man, and his heart hurts when he can’t care for you 24/7 but, Comte knows that you need room to breathe so, he’d happily wait centuries for you to return to his arms if that’s how long it took.
