Visiting - Overview and Masterlist

(moodboard by the wonderful @cutesyscreenname)

*cross-posted on AO3*

*Series In Progress*

Pairing: Professor!Ben (College AU) x OFC Lydia/fem!Reader (reader POV/2nd POV)

Summary: Seeking a change of scenery after her life falls apart, Lydia crosses the Atlantic and arrives in a small New England town, to spend a year expanding her intellectual horizons as a visiting professor of art history at a small liberal arts college. Her growing friendship with Ben Morales, professor of Hispanic literature, forces Lydia to confront the fallout from her past - and raises unexpected questions about the future.

About Lydia: A couple of years ago she'd have told you her life was over. Now, at 41, Lydia has realised the future is hers to make - even if that means never opening her heart up again.

She's an art historian and European - though this should not be taken to imply a specific appearance or ethnicity! Her family and other aspects of her background are established.

You'll notice that the physical descriptors for Lydia are deliberately loose, other than: her age, that she's fem/AFAB, her hair is starting to grey, and she's got stretch marks and a whole metric ton of issues with her own body. In other words: she can look whatever way you want her to look in your own imagination, bearing these aspects in mind, and be from wherever you want her to come from.

Rating: Explicit (18+) - individual chapters will have their own ratings (there's a lot of fluff and angst ahead) but smut will be very clearly signalled. Expect bad language throughout. If you read beyond the warnings on each chapter, you are agreeing you're 18 years or older.

Content: Professor Ben College AU; smaller-than-usual-for-this-fandom age gap (she is 41 and Ben 47 when the story begins); canon is not a thing here; slow burn; explicit smut (eventually); discussion of infidelity and emotional abuse; discussion of self-esteem issues; references to body issues; strong language; alcohol; I'll update if I need to as the fic continues

A/N: My love for Mr Ben is well-known but I couldn't stop thinking about him as a literature professor and, well, here we are. This is my first fic, and it's written as an AU with nary a sprinkling of canon about a character who existed for five minutes in a sketch. Make it make sense, Rose.

This is going to be a multi-chapter series (I have a plan and an outline document and everything). I plan to add some headcanons for Professor Benjamin at some point, and will pop some little drabbles in amongst the full chapters.

There will be smut - but this is a slow-burner. You have been warned.

Main Series:

Chapter 1 - The Visitor

Chapter 2 - Bright in the Sea

Chapter 3 - Ghosts

Chapter 4 - Save Me

Chapter 5 - This Must Be The Place

Chapter 6 - If You'd Accept Surrender

Chapter 7 - Forget Who We Are

Chapter 8 - Sister Winter

Chapter 9 - Open Your Eyes

Chapter 10 - Something About You

Chapter 11 - My Favourite Work of Art

Chapter 12 - If I Must Have A Future

Chapter 13 - Coming Soon!

One-Shots and Drabbles:

An Inspecteur Calls: A Pedrotober One-Shot

Please let me know if you'd like to be added to a taglist!

Thanks: to the people who made me feel less bonkers for developing an entire world around Ben and Lydia - @cutesyscreenname, headcanon collaborator, moodboard creator, and Prof Benjamin E. Morales enabler supreme; the incredibly encouraging, kind, and heroic fic writers whose understanding of how to embrace the sensitive and emotional hidden side of 'canonical' characters is an inspiration - @lunapascal, @imaswellkid, @julesonrecord

heyyy I wanted to say that I love your writings !! and i would like to ask for some headcanons of mikey, mitsuya, draken and whoever u want with an air headed s/o please 💭💭have a good day

❀ HEAD IN THE CLOUDS | TOKYO REVENGERS 🤍 sano manjiro, mitsuya takashi, ryuuguji ken 💿 gender neutral, second pov (you/your), fluff, humor, established relationship, au - everyone lives / nobody dies, headcanon 📅 august 28, 2021 🔗 masterlist

the boys' s/o is quite airheaded. it's adorable. they're adorable together.

. . . SANO MANJIRO

☆ This couple is dumb and dumber.

☆ Yeah, I know Mikey can be smart and all (in some situations) but most of the time, he just gives off dumb bitch who’ll hit anything that moves vibes.

☆ You mention something incredibly stupid and Mikey will agree without a second thought, genuinely thinking that yup, that’s about it.

☆ Imagine Draken just sitting there, scrambling for brain cells because the two of you clearly don’t have a single one if your conversation about birds were any indication.

☆ It’s like the two of you get sick if you don’t do stupid shit together or talk about something extremely childish (or questionable) that betrays your age.

☆ Shinichiro looks on, wondering if this was truly it, if this was truly the future. He quite likes you though.

☆ One of the most questionable conversations that you two had was in middle school, about Mexico.

"So is New Mexico a part of Mexico then?" "It's New Mexico so there must be two Mexicos. The old one and the new one."

☆ Or perhaps when the two of you had a discussion about ice when you were sipping on iced tea at their usual diner.

"But like… what is ice made of?"

☆ Everyone is ready to cry that Mikey had to think about how to answer that.

☆ Draken hopes that if you ever had a child together, it wouldn’t take after neither of you.

. . . MITSUYA TAKASHI

☆ Mitsuya has his life put together. He knows how to take care of his sisters, to cook and clean, he has amazing grades, he’s a devoted captain of Toman, he also has perfect attendance, an active president of his club, and he knows who he wants to be in the future.

☆ You were, quite frankly, a mess compared to him.

☆ Mitsuya loved you either way.

☆ You fretting around, trying to wrap your head around something you aren’t used to, is actually quite entertaining, he finds.

☆ He just loves teaching you things, from right to wrong. He’s quite experienced in that, considering that he has little sisters.

"But whyyy??" "Because that's how historians put it." "But those guys are dead anyway."

☆ Mitsuya finds that you were always ready to learn more from him.

☆ He does worry though that you’ll listen to whatever people say, even the bad and wrong ones.

☆ Somehow, everyone could see, he coddles on you.

☆ You’re quite foolish and oblivious so you’ll see that Mitsuya is often by your side, bringing you to almost everywhere. No one ever comments on it but even a little child could pick up on it soon enough.

☆ Mitsuya loves you for who you are and he isn’t going to let anyone make fun of you for that.

. . . RYUUGUJI KEN

☆ Draken is surrounded by idiots.

☆ He wonders if that was the reason why he chose you. Out of all the people he could have fallen for, he fell for you.

☆ It’s not that you’re ignorant or you think that you’re always right, it’s just that you genuinely don’t know. You can answer school questions just fine but there’s always a bigger world outside education—one that you aren’t quite ready for.

☆ So Draken watches you as you study and realizes that you’re smart in everything else but the world.

☆ He almost chokes when you come up to him, telling him that you've been looking for your glasses for twenty minutes (it's on your head) but then also ace the mathematics exam the next day.

"No, I’m pretty sure the south is backwards." "South is to your right if you're facing the rising, and south is to your left if you're facing the setting sun." "But why does it change?" "What do you mean why? Do you even go outside your house??"

☆ Draken will literally fight anyone that tries to give you wrong information because he knows that you would believe it wholeheartedly in your eagerness to learn.

☆ Sometimes, it feels as if you’re more innocent than a child when it comes to real-life problems.

☆ Ever since he met you, it’s as if he’s become a mix of softness and exasperation because there are times it becomes laughable and adorable and there are times when he’s just ready to give up with his life.

☆ Either way, he loves you and he tries to learn everything he could when he has time to help you out.

☆ Draken still thinks that this is probably Mikey’s fault to exposing him to such idiocy that he’s gotten too used to it.

Doctor Who, But Chronologically 20

Welp, Steffan cried at this one (again).

We proceed to 1890, and we meet Vincent van Gogh! Exciting. Also his name actually gets pronounced correctly at one point in the episode, which must be exciting for Dutch people watching.

Anyway, we have of course already met Vincent van Gogh back when we watched the Pandorica Opens and he painted the TARDIS exploding (I wonder when that will be resolved?) We are still no closer to really understanding why he knew the TARDIS would explode - I thought maybe they were going to play the old “Creative people are slightly psychic and his tortured genius lets him see through time” card, especially given that this episode featured an inexplicably invisible monster (also not resolved) that only Vincent could see. But that’s, uh, kind of left in the subtext. At no point is any sort of explanation offered. Apply your own headcanons, lads.

This is very much an episode of two halves, to whit:

1. A moving emotional piece about a mentally ill man who struggles with a depression that will eventually kill him, who nonetheless manages to take that pain and create beauty and joy in the world that lasts for generations hence, building to a genuinely haunting and beautiful climax where he stands in a gallery 100 years in the future, surrounded by adoring fans, listening to an art historian giving him the validation he always craved but never truly got in life; and

2. An incredibly poor sci-fi subplot that is stapled on with no consistency, logic or point.

Oh yeah, it’s real bad. It’s REAL bad. At the start the Doctor sees a giant chicken monster in a van Gogh painting and straight up non-hyperbolically declares it to be “Evil”. At the end he describes it as a scared and lost little soul that deserves a hug as it dies impaled on an easel. After finding out, midway through the episode, what it is, there are precisely no more plot twists or even developments - there’s an angry chicken, they have zero plan to deal with it other than “chase it and then run away from it”, they never even manage to work out anything that will let anyone else see it, and they never even attempt to explain, as mentioned, why Vincent can see it. Or frankly why it’s even invisible. The entire monster species on show is incredibly underwhelming.

But fuck it, the museum scene is beautiful and my husband wept like a baby so whatevs.

Anyway, plot threads! It’s Matt Smith and Amy again - no Rory, though, and at one point Amy asks who Rory is. Later she declares that she’s not the marrying type. So... hard to know where we are in the boyfriend-fiance-husband timeline but this seems to be the She’s Forgotten Him period so I’m going to go out on a limb and say he’s probably not currently plastic. Difficult to know how much weight to give it though, because in spite of a whole scene where Vincent describes her as “soldiering on”, and tells her that he can see the pain and sadness in her, and she doesn’t know what he means, and then she realises she’s crying but doesn’t know why - all of which should have been incredibly emotionally resonant and deeply unsettling for Amy - the director apparently thought the real emotional depth of the situation is that the Doctor feels a bit uncomfortable. So that’s what we focus on. In fairness, much as I like Karen Gillan she does not have the acting ability to pull off the nuance required, so maybe it’s a blessing.

Gotta say though. I have no clue why Amy is even there in this episode. Her entire role is restricted to “being threatened by an invisible monster.” She doesn’t even have a moment of usefulness. She is an ornament. The Doctor himself keeps sidelining her, and she has so little spine she isn’t even arguing.

“We must get a plan,” says the Doctor. “Amy nearly died last night!”

So did he. So did Vincent. She was no worse off. Nonetheless, it’s somehow agreed that she is The Most Vulnerable.

“Don’t come in the church after me!” says the Doctor, before rushing in to see the monster. She meekly agrees.

“Will you follow him?” Vincent asks.

“Of course!” she gaily agrees, because the script really thinks if it writes “She is spunky” on her we’ll all somehow believe it in spite of all evidence to the contrary. She then stays firmly outside until she hears him scream.

The Doctor is also useless in this episode. But at least you’d notice if you wrote him out and replaced him with a sexy lamp. Amy as a sexy lamp would make zero difference.

So, let’s update the plot thread list!

“She” (an unknown person) is returning (perhaps River returned as Missy. Maybe Me?)

There is something on Donna’s back

An entire planet, Pyrovilia, just… disappeared, somehow. (Maybe because the TARDIS is exploding??? Saturnine was also lost, and that WAS because of the TARDIS exploding. The lion man’s planet was also lost but he was a bit of a knob about it if I’m honest.)

Amy is maybe dead (she’s not)

The Doctor has been cubed (he’s out, but how?)

River is possibly blown up (unless she’s Missy)

The TARDIS has blown up (It’s fine now. Except it’s sort of melting now because it’s corrupted, but it’s fine again)

The universe appears to have ended (the universe is back again)

The Doctor has employed(?) Nardole (And Nardole was “reassembled???”)

There’s a vault in the TARDIS and it contains Missy but we don’t know why (sometimes she knocks for the bants)

What has happened to all these companions and where are the new ones coming from?

There’s an immortal Viking girl now. Her name is Me and she’s now looking after the people the Doctor abandons

Who/what is the Half-Faced Man that the Doctor talked about?

Why, when the Doctor saw the ship’s computer set to the Promised Land, did he say “Oh not again”?

What’s With The Silence?

Why was Rory entirely unconcerned by the entire world suddenly going silent when that is Not Normal and should have been, at the very least, extremely disconcerting?

What did the Doctor do to Queen Lizzie One?

Who is Captain Jack Harkness? (Is he the one who gave the companions a warning about the lone cyberman?)

Why is Amy seeing a one-eyed woman in a vanishing window?

What’s with the Doctor’s future involving getting shot by an astronaut?

Is Amy pregnant and why is it inconclusive?

Who is Sarah-Jane Smith?

How is the Doctor Bill’s teacher and why/where does he have an office?

What is going on with the Cyber War and the Cyberium???

Who did the Doctor lose to Cyber Conversion?

What happened with the Other Cyber War?

What happened with the Third War that deleted the void?

Why does Rose seem particularly important?

What’s with the statues you mustn’t blink at?

What order do these Doctors go in? (Ecclestone, Tennant, uncertain.)

Which companion just... forgot the Doctor, and how?

What is the Flux and what did it do?

Who is the mysterious Victorian man who met Yaz?

Yaz and Vinder are about to die as Mori/Mwri/Muuri

There is a Lupari shield around Earth.

What’s a Time War?

What’s the Rift?

What’s Bad Wolf?

What happened with Amy’s pregnancy?

In which war did the Doctor become a war criminal, and how?

Who is the Master?

Why has Amy forgotten Rory?

Is Rory plastic or not?

A dichotomy of a woman, astounding warmth yet woven to bone with iced steel. (x)

The object of Phoenix's affection, Slytherin's weirdest snake, and future historian, my dear, Ismelda Murk.

Some random headcanons:

- Owns a pet tarantula, Salazar Jr, and a pet rat, Umbra.

- Ismelda's like a cat, when you want her company she'll push you away, and when you want to be alone, she'll demand your attention.

- She likes company, but she likes it when it's silent cause she doesn't always likes to speak her mind.

- As much as she likes to seem shameless, Phoenix is the only one she truly opens up with. He doesn't judge even her darkest thoughts.

- In later years, she would share her interest in poetry with Talbott and they learn a little from each other.

- Studies muggle history in secret, will obliviate you if you find out.

- Both repulsed by people and touch starved. Thinks if people see the real her, they'll be disgusted. Reason why she takes the longest to let Phoenix even hug her even after they start dating. (Makes Phoenix feel like a Victorian man teased by shoulders and ankles.)

- Inspired by Rath and her own anger, in the fifth year, she starts exercising. By the sixth, she joins the Slytherin's Quidditch team as a Beater. She likes the prospects of getting people hit.

- She’s actually very well rounded but acts differently - she plays the piano, speaks french, and knows gothic literature, she’s kinda good at drawing as well.

- Will probably set on fire if she steps out into the sun. Vampires wonder if she's one of them.

- Would kill for chocolate. Don't try her about this.

- Would never date a blonde... until Phoenix walked by.

- I don't imagine her to be as scrawny as the game shows. She's very curvaceous with a big chest, but hides under baggy clothes up until the later years when she gains more confidence in herself.

- Takes her sisters clothes just to piss her off.

- They're not that big fans of PDA, but she likes how it makes others uncomfortable, and Phoenix likes kissing her so...

- Deep down she wants to hear her parents say they're proud of her, to be understood.

The moodboard with another filter below

#ismelda murk #aesthetic #slytherin #hc stuff #emo queen of darkness #hphm #i have so many ocs from other stories that are like ismelda #it's baffling #i love sickly looking emo girl with a bloodthrist 🙈#hogwarts mystery

check the cut for some nsfw canons about everyone’s favorite senator of the chommel sector !!

first and foremost, girl is DEMISEXUAL and tends to only develop sexual relationships with those she’s close with. i’ve headcanoned naboo to be a bit more conservative than most planets, and so she’s grown into this idea that sex is super personal and meant to be shared with people she cares about. she’s sexually attracted to a bit of people, regardless of emotional bond, but she’s not likely to ACT on those feelings unless she’s close to you.

she’s also got a submissive streak in the bedroom, both in matters of light bdsm and sex in general. she’s super in control of her life as a senator and in matters of the senate, and so it’s really nice to be able to let go and let loose in the bedroom. that said, she’s MORE than happy to be bossy if that’s what her partner prefers.

a total people pleaser. she loves to give and she loves to receive and she’s just as likely to get off on going down on you as she is to get off on you going down on her.

PULL. HER. HAIR. PLEASE PULL HER HAIR. her hair reaches to her knees, it’s more than long enough for someone to wrap around their fist and pull and holy shit she LOVES having her hair pulled.

her current title as senator is YOUR EXCELLENCY, and if you call her that in sexual situations she will literally fucking melt in your hands. on the flip side ––– ‘your majesty’ tends to make her uncomfortable unless we’re talking about a scenario where she’s still queen of naboo.

padmé is a bit of an EXHIBITIONIST. the thrill of potentially getting caught is especially taboo to her given her upbringing, and something about it just really does it for her. she’s more than down for sex in her office, and if you slide your hand up her thigh in her senate pod, she’ll probably just straight up die. she’s been known to engage in some pretty heavy making out in alcoves in the senate building, or against doors with people on the other side.

she’s not necessarily super vocal in the bedroom outside of sounds ( and in that sense, she can get pretty loud ) but she LOVES it when her partner is vocal. dirty talk is one of her biggest kinks and if you start talking to her or tell her to answer you, she’ll be SO ALIVE.

super kinks: hair pulling, orgasm denial, breathplay, manhandling, hand holding. be rough with her but also hold her hand and tell her how beautiful she is. also a note: breathplay is A HUGE NO with rebel au padmé after mustafar, but prior to that, it’s definitely a thing.

her neck is extremely sensitive and if you kiss her there there’s a 100% chance she’s immediately dtf.

doggy style / being bent over things used to be one of her favorite positions, but after the events of geonosis she was left with huge scars on her back and one on her arm, it becomes a bit more of a touchy subject. she’s SUPER self conscious about her scars and having them on full display makes her a bit uncomfortable, because she doesn’t want her partner to see her as lesser, and it would take some convincing to get her to engage in that position. as an added note, if you caress her scars or kiss up her back along them she will definitely get emotional ( in a good way ).

please spank her. please. grab her ass. squeeze it. give her little love taps in and out of the bedroom. she loves it.

be playful with her !!! just run up and grab her by the waist and kiss her cheeks and neck !!!! spin her around and hold her !!!! make her feel wanted !!!!!!!!

#x. HEADCANONS. › let future historians wonder how she reacted when he broke her heart.#x. OUT OF CHARACTER. › the resident fairy squadmother.

Chapter 5: First We Feast

[For those who are following my writing, you may have seen it doesn’t quite line up with the game’s timeline. I don’t want it to be exactly the same, but I do want to keep the core of the story. In this version, the events take place in 1894, and the main character is from 2020. Well, a version of 2020 without any of this Covid fuckery. I wanted to make a more realistic MC than the one in the game, whose actions rarely line up with my own. This MC is modern and feisty, and specifically written from the cultures I know best. While it might not be as relatable as most Ikevamp works, I can promise you all it is as authentic as it gets, kinda like a “what would I do” scenario if I was in MC’s situation. On top of that, there are several headcanons applied to the different characters, so if you have any, let me know and I will add the ones I like. Thank you for reading. This is my first public piece of writing so I am thrilled that some people are enjoying it already.]

Le Comte de Saint-Germain returns to the dining room, pulling me out of my thoughts just before the silence gets awkward. It is then that I realize that Sebastian is no longer standing next to me. I did not see him leave. Prompted by the nobleman’s return, all the other men take a seat around the large table. Once everyone is in place, I sit on one of the empty chairs beside le Comte, and look at him for validation. He smiles approvingly, and as if on cue, Sebastian reappears with a cart full of plates that he begins setting on the table.

My stomach growls at the smell. It is supposed to be around 4 in the afternoon - back in the present, at least - and I have ingested nothing but iced coffee all day. As Sebastian serves everyone, I softly nudge le Comte’s arm.

“I have so many questions I don’t know where to begin. Do you think you could...?” I inquire, before being gently interrupted by him.

“Of course, ma chérie, I will answer anything you want to know. After dinner, you can visit my study.” After dinner. Of course. My leg bounces under the table in a poor attempt to get rid of some impatient energy. Meanwhile, le Comte raises his voice, along with the glass of champagne that now sits in front of him. “It has been a while since most of us were gathered together to enjoy the evening like this, and I must say I greatly appreciate it. À votre santé!”

The rest follow his lead and all drink in unison. I, on the other hand, take my time eyeing and then sniffing the bubbly liquid. Though I am less jittery now, I still don’t trust these people. I have no way of knowing whether the mysterious door that led me here is truly impossible to open or if they are deliberately keeping me in this century. I soon conclude that the champagne is safe to drink. I’m sure it all came from the same bottle, so anything that might be in it would affect everyone else too.

I take a hesitant sip, not wanting to drink on an empty stomach. A pleasured sound escapes my lips. This is the best champagne I have ever tasted. Though I am tempted to have more, I decide to try the food first. I have no idea if this coq au vin could be drugged or poisoned, but at this point I am too hungry to care. My eyes go wide at the wonderful taste of the dish, and I dig in. More food follows soon after, which I rest from by taking more sips of champagne.

The rest of the banquet goes on like any other dinner would. I remain silent, my mouth busy chewing, and some small talk can be heard between the residents. When everyone is finished, le Comte speaks again.

“Thank you, Sebastian. What a wonderful meal.” He politely excuses himself as everyone starts to get up, and I follow close behind. “Anaïs. There is something I want to show you,” he tells me once we make it onto the hallway. I nod silently and walk along with him to his study.

Once inside, he gestures toward a large hourglass that sits on the floor by a fireplace. It looks like it was recently turned, the sand falling from it in a thin stream forming a small pile at the bottom.

“This is what measures when the door will open,” he explains, his voice low and gentle, like he is fully aware that he is delivering delicate information. “You are welcome to come in at any time to see its progress. As I mentioned before, it takes roughly a month for all the sand to fall. Sadly, during that time, you will be stuck here, in the 19th century. So will I. The door works in mysterious ways, but even I must abide by its rules.”

I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding. So this is it. This is the thing keeping me from going home. For something so scary and frustrating, I find it surprisingly beautiful. I wordlessly shuffle closer and look at the lights reflecting off the curved glass surface.

“Comte?” My eyes remain on the stream of sand as I talk.

“Yes, ma chérie?”

“How does this work? How is any of this possible?” I breathe out. I do not expect an answer, for even if he had one, I doubt I would be able to comprehend it. “And the residents, are they really...?”

“Who they say they are? Yes. Tonight you met the real Vincent Van Gogh, the real Isaac Newton, the real Mozart. They arrived here the same way you did, through a time slip. I personally brought each of them back after they died.”

“What do you mean, after they died?”

Before he can answer, someone knocks on the door. Sebastian doesn’t wait to be invited to come in and stand under the frame, waiting.

“Oh? It appears your room is ready,” le Comte changes the topic. “Your belongings are already there. Good night, ma chérie.”

I take that as being dismissed, and I begrudgingly follow Sebastian out of the study, unsatisfied with my answers - or lack thereof. As we walk, a light piano melody floats through the hallway. That must be Mozart. I can’t help but wonder at how happy the music sounds in contrast to his attitude during diner.

We come to a halt in front of an open door. The bedroom inside is elegantly decorated, but ultimately simple, mostly consisting of whites and light pinks. My backpack sits on a plush ottoman by the bed, and my skates, still strapped together, on the floor below it. Next to me, Sebastian clears his throat.

“There is a nightgown on the bed for you. We shall get you some new clothes tomorrow so you have something else to wear. Not that there’s anything wrong with your outfit, in fact, I quite like it, but it might call unwanted attention in this century.” His casual statement surprises me.

“Wait, are you from the future too?” He does not seem fazed or offended by my tight jeans and cropped sweater, and having received a few strange looks from the other residents, I know that there is more than just discretion at play here.

“Yes,” he nods with a smile. “2013. Le Comte mentioned you yourself came from the year 2020, correct?”

“Yeah. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who got literally stuck in the past. A lot has changed since 2013, too. I was just a child, back then. Back then? Can I say that if it’s 119 years in the future?” I notice I have started to ramble and trail off. Sebastian laughs. His presence in this mansion is somewhat comforting, and I am happy to know we have that in common, which makes me wonder. “Sebastian?” I hesitate to ask. “How did you end up here?”

“Unlike you, I came willingly.” I tilt my head as my lips form a quiet ‘oh’. I don’t know what I expected, but it wasn’t that. “I was a historian in my time,” he continues. “I met le Comte while traveling and he invited me here. Of course, having spent my life studying these remarkable people, I could not miss the chance to meet them in person.”

That makes sense. I wonder if he knew then that he would not be able to come back, but from the way he speaks of the experience, I don’t think he minds.

“Huh. Now that I think about it, the only one I don’t know anything about is Dazai. His name sounds familiar, isn’t he a writer or something?” I am familiar with a couple modern Japanese authors, but anything before the 70s isn’t exactly available in the West, even in my time. Sebastian nods.

“He is one of the most important writers in Japan. I see the availability of his work in the rest of the world hasn’t changed much, huh? Lucky for you, I have an English copy of ‘No Longer Human’. You can borrow it any time you like.” I thank him with a smile before he continues. “As for the residents, there are two you have yet to meet that were not present at the banquet. Leonardo da Vinci and Jean d’Arc.”

“She’s here?” I perk up upon hearing the name. It has just dawned on me that staying for a month might pose certain feminine problems, and I welcome the idea of another woman to give me such advice. Sebastian’s laugh warns me like a stop sign before my hopes crash.

“He.” I stare blankly at him, failing to understand what he means by that. He must know what I’m thinking, because he goes on to explain. “Jean is a man. Historical records have a funny way of twisting the facts

“Damn it,” I quietly mutter. Regardless, I am still excited to meet them. I will have to talk to le Comte about my problem, though. It’s not like tampons have been invented yet. “Anyway, Sebastian, thank you for everything. I don’t want to keep you for too long.”

With another friendly smile, he wishes me good night and leaves me alone in my room. I close the door behind me, kick off my shoes and sit on the edge of the bed before fishing my phone from the backpack I brought with me. The screen says 17:02, but here it must be past midnight already. Between the over all shock and the fact that I am a night owl in my present, I wonder how I am going to sleep tonight. Who knew transtemporal jet lag could be such an inconvenience?

There is no signal, which isn’t surprising. Luckily, the battery is still almost full. I wonder how the other residents would react to seeing a smartphone. I doubt advanced technology would warrant the same kind of side eye Mozart gave me for my appearance. And then I wonder how I will get used to the corsets and big dresses that I will probably be wearing for the rest of the month. While I love the aesthetic of the period, I will have to learn to deal with the discomfort and limited freedom of movement.

🌻 Random Headcanons pt 2🌻

[ Ivan x Mel ]

x Mel makes its her job to correctly pronounce people’s names how they are pronounced in their language. Alfred thinks she’s doing too much and she tells him that he is jealous he has a basic old english white man name. Ivan finds it alluring and does his best to say her name how it’s pronounced in Greek. She tells him there is no need but really she enjoys it. This also starts Mel correcting others when they say Ivan’s human name in public.

x Mel only addresses the countries by their human names unless they get under her skin then she calls them by their whole name. I mean official government name, Republic (United ) and all. She might even get fancy and say it in their language so they will know she’s serious.

x With the assistants being around the countries interact a lot more than they normally do. A lot more hanging out outside of work, stronger friendships, Canada had the biggest impact with everyone in the meeting knowing who he was because his assistant is very much a hot head and will cuss you out if you call him anything other than Canada.

x Ivan didn’t have an assistant for a while but eventually he got one and it was a rather strict slightly older than the rest male. Alfred made a joke that Putin sent a minime and Mel had to shut him up before anyone else heard him. Luckily the strictness slowly faded away and Mel found out Ivan’s assistant was actually a old soul dork who was a dancer on the side.

x Mel and Ivan play matchmaker with other nations and sometimes their assistants. This is how Mel found out that half the world has already slept with each other. She really can’t look at England the same. This is how Ivan found out he has two admirers that are Germany and France’s assistants. Since Ivan and Me’s relationship is still private she finds it cute the others fond over Ivan. She even joins in on letting them talk about him as if they have a chance. She keeps her victory to herself.

x Mel found out Ivan can sing his fucking heart out (literally), but he keeps it to himself so she has to catch him around his house when she comes over. This is rather difficult since she doesn’t know the lay out of his big ass house very well and he moves around a lot when he is busy. He can even throat sing as well, he learned from China and Mongolia when he was a child. At first it scared the shit out of Mel.

x Mel has stumbled upon Ivan’s wide collection of pipe that he keeps in his normally locked artillery. When she asked him about it he looked pale and admitted that during wars with other countries when his people destroyed towns he would collect them as trophy. When Mel looked closer on the sides Ivan had carved in the sides the name of the county and towns. When Mel asked him about the pipe he used to carry in his trench coat. He told her it was actually a pipe from his old capital/home.

x Ivan was the one to teach Mel how to shoot different types of guns. She told him it wasn’t necessary but he kinda tricked her into learning with a bribe. Now she knows how to aim and fire machine guns. What was the bribe you may be asking? Ivan keeps his april fools dress and other dress like costumes and told her he would model them for her. Mel couldn’t resist after she overheard how cute Ivan looked from Francis.

x Some of the countries have some supernatural element besides being immortal. Ivan falls into the list despite not being fully aware he can do it. He is aware that he can teleport and be summoned, he can see and very rarely control Gentral Winter, but he isn’t aware that he has full control over his scarf like extra hands. He isn’t fully aware that he can control anything winter related outside of the season. Many times Mel has woken up to Ivan’s body being completely frozen and the bedroom being iced over. She’s had to wake him so she wouldn’t die.

x With that being said Mel is kinda terrified of spending some winters with Ivan because he does this thing were he shuts down completely and “freezes to death” and can be sleep for days before waking up fully energized. When this happens tho his whole house turns into a tundra and no matter how many times Mel turns up the heat its still cold. She’s had to call Tolys to come help her either make it through Ivan’s snow hibernations or take her somewhere else to stay.

x Ivan always feels bad when he wakes up to find a note and blanket draped over him. When Mel finally asked why that happens it was a very touchy topic and she understood if he didn’t want to talk about it. He admitted months later while they were in the countryside enjoying the summer that he has actually died and been reborn twice, everytime he died he did so outside in the snow from freezing to death. Both times he was reborn he had woken up in sunflower fields because it was the warmest part of his country. But when he is home his powers try to replicate the harsh winters inside which causes him to freeze for a few days then wake back up.

x Ivan doesn’t want Mel’s pity from his time growing up and his time as a country. He just wishes for her to listen to him when he speaks even if she doesn’t understand it all. Ivan has a lot of baggage he carries and he is aware of his outstandish behaviors and interactions. He is better than what he was but he still has his moments were he relapse back into his dark days. But he never takes it out on Mel or anyone around him, he always locks himself away until he feel able to come out. Those are the days Mel feels that Ivan is most human and she stays by his side.

x Ivan loves spontaneous vacations and he offers them to Mel every chance he gets. But Mel being Alfred’s assistant and a public affairs member has to work long hours. Ivan takes pity on humans for having to work so hard but he understand it (I mean this IS Russia we are talking about...) But when she turns in her vacation days she is quick to pack her bags to go to somewhere random. Yao has welcomed them many times his his home.

x Yao was the first person Ivan told about his relationship. Although Yao scold him about how dangerous and stupid falling in love with a human was he still supports him. To Yao Ivan is still a child looking for someone to love him more than anything. Yao wont take that away but he will pay attention to Ivan in future dates when the time comes when Mel is no longer with him.

x Ivan has taken Mel snow drifting and nearly gave the girl a heart attack. Matthew has offered to join them and she has never seen two grown as men nearly flip a car so easily from having fun. Alfred likes the rush when he is driving but he panics when anyone else takes the wheels. IVan and Matthew purposefully shove Alfred in the back with Mel.

x Mel really loves museums and Ivan makes it his duty to take her his when she comes over. They have a lot of dates at the museums and Opera Houses. Ivan finally gets to express his love for the arts unlike before when Mel is around. He admits he’s favorite culture besides is own is Francis’s and it’s noticeable.

x Ivan keeps many historical items in his house that even historians know nothing about. He thought it was the only way to keep them safe and away from the public so they wouldn’t be stolen. Though he admits some of the items he took because he liked them. Ivan told Mel that even though he didn’t like Nicholas II (more like he really didn’t like the fact he was in charge) he was very fond of his wife and children. They used to call him uncle Ivan. Ivan owns a few dresses and crowns that belonged to the girls. He even owns a crown and a gown from his favorite queen, Catherine The Great. He has allowed Mel to wear the crowns before and has even commissioned a republica of a few of the dresses for Mel. Though she prefers to wear Ivan’s traditional clothing when she can. But playing royalty is a wonder touch.

x ^^^ Ivan has even joined her in dressing up and they’ve done countless Beauty and the Beast like dances in Ivan’s living room.

x Ivan doesn’t like the movie Anastasia but he will admit the song Once Upon a December is a really good song. Mel had caught him singing it a few times.

x Ivan can grow body hair, Mel really wanted to see him with a fancy bread and mustache he used to wear back in time. Ivan has a lot of portraits of himself scattered across his country that other humans are unaware are all the same person. She noticed a rather famous painting of Ivan hanging in his international museum during one of their dates and it was one of him with a full beard. So in the time he was growing a beard everyone at the meetings were confused. Until one day He showed up with an icon russian beard and Author nearly choked on his tea thinking he saw a ghost of a czar. Francis loved it. Alfred was high key jealous because he could never grow good facial hair.

x Ivan is the Justice Dance master, he doesn’t care how silly he looks he wins everytime. Nation sleep overs are fucking wide.

Junkers and Lúcio friendship headcanons?

The Junkers like to fall asleep in Lucio’s studio especially when he’s working on slow jams. Lucio doesn’t mind. It’s nice to have company. Occasionally he leans back and asks how something sounds. Roadhog’s thumbs up or down always helps him when he’s stuck.

Junkrat can’t hear very well. All the explosions and radiation he’s been exposed to messed up his ears. Lucio doesn’t let that stop him. He often plays his music so that Junkrat can feel the vibrations.

None of them will ever forget the day that Lucio showed Junkrat dubstep. Roadhog hasn’t forgiven him and future historians condemn him but it’s nice to see Junkrat enjoying himself.

Lucio likes to bring over food when he knows the Junkers haven’t eaten in a while. They love his cooking and he loves seeing them scarf it down.

The minute Roadhog met Lucio all he could think was ‘I have to protect this small boy’ The minute he saw Lucio snap at someone who decided to coddle him, he thought, ‘I have to protect this small boy from a distance.’ Lucio doesn’t always see it but Roadhog is always looking out for him.

Lucio often wonders why a lot of death threats stopped coming in. The Junkers took care of them. No one hurts the Frog Man.

The Junkers aren’t afraid of Lucio but there’s a certain look Lucio gets when he’s about to blow up and if you look a second before he does, you’ll notice both Junkers left before the explosion. Fear the anger of a calm man.

Lucio acts as their conscience when they’re in public. “No, Junk, you can’t steal that car.” “Roadhog, he wasn’t looking at you funny. Please put the hook away.” “Junkrat, you literally just stole candy from a baby. Give it back.”

9 times out of 10, Junkrat uses Lucio’s head as an arm rest. Lucio is not amused. But after a while, he gets used to it.

Lucio often goes to Roadhog to talk about his problems. He knows he can talk to Zenyatta, Genji, or D.Va but sometimes he just likes to sit down with Roadhog and talk about what he should do. Roadhog’s response is usually ‘Kill Them’ but sometimes he says some very blunt but insightful thing that Lucio hadn’t thought of.

Lucio loves to show affection. Roadhog was surprised the first time Lucio hugged him. Junkrat thought he was attacking him. Now, Roadhog likes to pat his head and Junkrat always melts into the hugs. They both appreciate how much Lucio cares about them. People usually don’t give them a second glance. It’s nice to feel loved.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐓𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐂 𝐕𝐄𝐈𝐋 ᵗʰᵉ ᶰᵃᶰᵒᵐᵃˢᵏ

a nanomask invented by doctor selwyn with the capablility to realistically replicate one’s face & voice. also used by natasha rom.anoff in ca:tws & most recently by sharon carter in fatws.

after being brainwashed by daniel whitehall, kara used the veil to impersonate agent may during an attempt to obtain information regarding the words of creation. the veil was damaged during a fight between kara and the real agent may, who used a live wire from a broken lamp to permanently singe it to kara’s face. she was then unable to remove the veil, and while her voice still resembled agent may, there was a noticeable computerized sound. later, this was fixed by it’s inventor after kara and grant ward kidnapped him and forced him to make repairs.

doctor selwyn updated the photostatic veil under threat to his life. upgrades included building an optical scanner into the veil, which photographically copied a person’s face before morphing an exact replica. this process could only imitate appearance, not voice, and could only maintain three photos of data at a time. one thing he was unable to do was completely remove the nanomask from her face. she could, however, turn it off and on. when the mask is off, kara’s true appearance is revealed: however roughly half of her face is badly burned and permanently scarred. this is why more often than not the veil is ON, and she has taken on the appearance of another.

grant ward killed him once he finished the upgrade to ensure he could not tell anyone about kara. there’s room to argue whether or not kara herself killed the doctor, though given my vehement disagreement with the final two episodes of aos, it’s safe to say that with my representation, kara did not.

Baby Socorro Rivera was born premature, and thus was naturally smaller at birth than most babies. She was given the name Socorro, after a relative, but Imelda quickly dubbed her “Coco” for short, telling Héctor that her full name was too big for such a little baby.

𝐂𝐎𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐒 ﹠ ʟᴇɢᴀᴄɪᴇs

it has been speculated that, with the exception of agents who have earned their code name ( hawkeye or black widow ), that agents are referred to by their last name unless it is taken by another agent. for example: agent carter is peggy carter but sharon carter is agent 13. as it is the theory I find most agreeable ( though I still have certain doubts. . . ) it is the theory that will be followed for purposes of writing kara.

kara is a legacy palamas. this means she is not the only agent to ever have had her last name, hence her given codename of agent 33. her father, tobias palamas, was an agent of s.h.i.e.l.d. until he was killed in action. his name is on the wall of valor at the s.h.i.e.l.d. academy.

kara was 13 when he died, & the details of his death were kept classified from her ( & her family ) until she herself became an agent & eventually worked her way up to clearance level 9.

AGENT ALEX DEPAUL ᵗʰᵉ ᶠᵃᵗʰᵉʳ ᶠᶤᵍᵘʳᵉ / ᵗʰᵉ ᵗʳᵃᶤᵗᵒʳ

kara met special agent alex depaul during what is referred to as “fury’s big week” when she was recruited by the shield to study the 0-8-4 that she was able to quickly identify as thor’s hammer mjolnir from norse mythology. once at the shield investigation site outside of roswell, new mexico, depaul was one of the field agents assigned watch over the 0-8-4, though he felt his role was significantly more towards its researcher than the object of alien origin itself. agent depaul had been part of the same shield team her father, tobias palamas, was on when he was killed in action & depaul’s guilt left him feeling particularly obligated to keep his former partner’s daughter safe.

depaul began her weapons training even before it was planned to indoctrinate her into shield as an agent, having brought her to the armory at the shield crater site. this was kara’s first real experience with firearms. more specifically with the colt m1911A1 (the first gun kara ever discharged: agent depaul set up an improvised shooting gallery in the new mexican desert with what little down time they had) and beretta 92fS, two mostly retired firearms within the shield.

this was the start of their mentorship, eventually leading to her proper field training which took place during the year between the battle of puente antiguo and the battle of ny. kara felt a deep respect toward her supervising officer and this reverence only grew once she learned the truth of his association with her father. given how little she and her family know about the details surrounding his death and final resting place, depaul was able to clarify a few details in order to provide closure, despite the information being above her level of clearance at the time.

all good things must end, however. her deference toward agent depaul came to an crashing halt upon the discover of his treachery during the battle of the iliad: it was revealed that shield special agent alex depaul was a double agent for hydra, allowing for the opposition to infiltrate the helicarrier in the beginning stages of the hydra uprising. alongside other loyal agents fighting for their cause, she helped take back the ship, protecting its assets & one particularly damning weapon hidden in its basement. unfortunately for depaul, this meant meeting his demise while facing off against the very agent he had trained.

IMPORTANT CONNECTIONS!

this post is mostly because I miss some of the most important connections I have made while writing kara for the past few years. the connections you will find below have been thoroughly discussed and a) inactive or b) consistent throughout multiple verses. *please don’t be offended if your muse is not here, it’s entirely based on an abundance of out of character plotting.

bucky barne.s / @poisoncoded → kara’s best friend in multiple verses, although specifically in her single mother verse, where he comes around as much as he can to visit with kara & her daughter, abigail. he is the best uncle, & kara’s rock. together they are goose, maverick & the gosling. it’s cute, shut up. this verse is open for interactions. roxanne ramsey / @easpionne → kara’s best friend since before the fall of shield. their relationship is built upon dumplings & shared experience as agents. kara’s relationship with roxy may be mentioned in any verse following their meeting. eventually, kara becomes the godmother for roxy’s son with steve rogers, stevie. their connection is consistent throughout kara’s timeline, & also present in kara’s mercenary verse. leo fit.z / @cosmoscursed → kara’s best friend/absolute soul mate in her big damn heroes verse. their relationship equates to meredith grey & cristina yang. this relationship is consistent in kara’s manifest verse. these verses are open for interaction.

caleb malphas / @dissolvedshadows → caleb has become a concrete detail in kara’s adolescent years, & therefore he & his sister, ana, are technically present in her past for all verses. in a private verse, she returns home & reconnects with them following her escape from shield. lance hunte.r / @asortofsalvation → close friend of kara’s in her big damn heroes verse. important to note that one year for her birthday, he bought her tickets to hamilton. they are also partnered together in the yet-to-be-written short skirt/long jacket verse, which is a chuck au that consists of kara uploading the intersect. this verse is open for interaction. wes hastings / @dustrunner → eventual husband of kara’s in a private verse. listed here because even though they aren’t active anymore, I will be posting a series of drabbles based on things that were previously plotted.

abby sinclair / @absinclair → kara’s friend from college. present in multiple verses, including kara’s new grey’s anatomy au. we have also discussed possible connections in kara’s single mother verse.

grant war.d / @ nope → it’s just important to note that a lot of my gran.t ward related headcanons are built from interactions with a former writing partner. I am absolutely open to writing with others who write this muse, but I would prefer to discuss details before interactions. unless noted, when speaking about the character, kara will be referencing this particular divergent gran.t ward. headcanons are literally throughout all of kara’s verses.
