Okay I have another request. This time it's for Jax. I have a list of prompts for him.
7. Stay away from my sister. (I'm thinking maybe possibly an au cross over.)
13. I promise.
17. I love you.
15. Are you gonna kiss me or not?
21. Like what you see?
27. What if someone sees?
25. Don't act shy now.
Hey! Ohhh I like these prompts for Jax and I agree with the crossover idea! In fact I think I know exactly which hot temper Mayan to pair him with! Lets see what kind of magic I can work up for ya. I do see some smut so. As always 18+.
Tumblr media
Prince Charming
Jax took the punch to his jaw like a champ. He knew it was deserved after what had transpired the last few weeks. In his effort to bring a peace between the Sons and Mayans he had fallen head over heels for you. Unfortunately for him you were seen as Mayan royalty and off limits . Jax had ignored every warning as all he could think about was tasting the forbidden fruit that was you.
"Its fine" he stated as he stood up waving Chibs and Tig back as he met the gaze of your brother. Smirking Jax rubbed his jaw. "Nice sucker punch" he remarked making the younger man bristle as he stepped closer pushing his forehead to Jaxs. "Are you gonna kiss me or what Guero? I mean your sisters a bit of a freak but I can't imagine she would be down for this" joked Jax trying to ease the tension in the room.
"Stay away from my sister" growled Guero as he shoved Jax backwards. "Or else" he added before going to turn away. "I can't do that man. Shes a drug and I'm an addict" replied Jax with a shrug.
"Jesus Jax. What did you say?" you murmured as you stepped up on the porch of the Mayans clubhouse. Angel had called you and told you their had been a scuffle between Jax and your brother. He hadn't wanted you to be shocked when you arrived to the party. "I told him you were very pretty I promise" joked Jax making you roll your eyes as you stared down at him on the bench.
You sighed as you shook your head before shooting him a small smile. "I love you but your such a bad liar. I told you not to tease him" you replied as you crossed your arms. Jax chuckled but his attention was on the way your nipple rings poked out of the skin tight dress you were wearing. "So are you gonna kiss me or not? Make my boo boos better?" he questioned as he let his eyes roam your body.
"I think you should kiss me. I had to rush out the door so fast I couldn't finish getting ready" you replied as you placed a hand on your hip. "Jax moved his hands to your hips and pulled you closer before planting a kiss on your covered navel. The feel of his lips through the fabric sent shivers down your spine. You felt Jax groan into your stomach as his hands moved under the fabric of your dress.
"Let me see what you didn't get a chance to put on babe" commanded Jax his icy eyes igniting a fire over every fiber of your being. Grinning you stepped back checking to make sure you were alone before pulling the hem of your dress up and giving him a quick spin. The cool night air on your bare skin felt like sweet sin. Giggling as you pulled your dress back down you sent him a smirk as you watched him move his hand to his belt.
"Like what you see?" you inquired as you moved back to him. "I sure do" murmured Jax as he pulled you down on his lap making you straddle him. You moaned as you felt his hands slide up the back of your thighs to your ass and his teeth gently nipped at your nipple piercing through the fabric of your dress. Jax continued his assault on your body as you rocked your hips against his growing erection that tented his jeans.
"I'm close Jax" you moaned into his neck after a few moments. "Need to be in you babe. Need you to cum on my cock" mumbled Jax as he lifted you up some breaking the contact you had. "What if someone see us? " you whispered as you bit your lip nervously as he worked on removing his cock from the prison of his pants. "It'll look like were just having a heated make out. Also I doubt anyone would care" replied Jax as he watched your eyes move to the hand stroking his cock.
"Don't act shy now. Not like this isn't the first public fuck we've had" replied Jax with a smirk as you let him position you back over his cock. You moaned as you felt the head of his cock slip through your slick folds. Jax groaned as he felt you sink onto his hard cock your soft walls gripping him tightly. Jax held you in place as he pistioned his hips up into you. Barely leaving you giving you deep fast strokes that had you seeing stars before tipping over the edge himself within a couple minutes." I love you so much" panted Jax as he kept your firmly planted on his softening cock as he kissed your neck. "Lets get home for round two" you replied feeling him grin into your neck.

heyy I just read your royalty au fic with sunghoon if you're willing to expand on that specific au/fic I'd like to request king!sunghoon being protective over reader, like maybe someone insulted them or reader got hurt/attacked. I'm a sucker for the protectiveness trope lol, anyways thank you & hope you're having a great day!
pairing: king!sunghoon x consort!gn!reader genre: kinda hurt comfort ?? word count: 886
Tumblr media
a/n: thank you for requesting !! i really liked this idea, i hope you like it :))
warnings: mentions of sex, couldn’t think of a name so i went with ki hong also he’s supposed to be a knight
[part 01]
reblogs (with feedback) >>> likes
you shift awkwardly in your seat as you watch sunghoon dance around with a woman. his hands graze against her back with each step they take, their fingers intertwined. the song continues to drone on as sunghoon glances over her shoulder at you, giving you a small smile. you let it ease your jealousy as they continue, twirling around the room. 
“they’re cute together,” a woman whispers next to you. her friend hums, leaning closer to her. 
“i wonder when the king will settle down. it’s hard to run a kingdom alone.” 
“perhaps he just needs to find the right person.” 
“maybe it’s you,” you tense up as they laugh together. “you should ask him to a dance. he never declines.” 
the first woman nods, turning her attention back to sunghoon and the woman, still dancing together. “i will. after this dance.” 
you jump a little when someone places a hand on your shoulder. “sorry,” ki hong chuckles a little, moving his hand down to your back. his armor is cold against your skin as he leans down to whisper in your ear. “you look a little tense. why don’t we get out of here?” 
you glance back at sunghoon for a second before nodding, eager to feel some fresh air against your face. ki hong’s hand stays pressed against your lower back as he leads you outside. the night air is cooler than you expected. you shiver a little, rubbing your hands against the fabric of your shirt. ki hong glances over, hand still close ghosting against your lower back. “cold?” 
you step back a little, nodding. “i didn’t really have a jacket to bring,” you laugh. 
“you could always come back up to my room with me.” the innuendo to his words makes you shift uncomfortably. you wrap your arms further around yourself, taking another step back. 
“no, i think i’ll just head back inside. sunghoon should be done with the dances anyways-” 
you freeze when ki hong reaches out to grab your arm, pulling you back. “y/n,” he steps closer, slowly forcing you back against the wall. “come on, you’re seriously still with him? you could do so much better.” 
you swallow nervously. the concrete of the castle digs into your skin. “i love sunghoon. you know that.” 
“you’re his consort. you’re nothing to him. he keeps you around because you’re an easy fuck,” ki hong lets out a bitter laugh. you tense up as he leans a little closer. “he’s the king, y/n. he doesn’t even bring you to advisory meetings anymore. what were you expecting?” 
you bite your tongue, cursing yourself for being so sensitive. tears sting your eyes, threatening to fall, but you blink them away, forcing them back. a pit grows in your stomach. what if he’s right? 
“y/n,” ki hong’s voice drops back to a whisper. he softly smiles at you, almost sympathetic. his hand brushes against your cheek, wiping away a stray tear. “i can treat you better. you know i can.” 
you grit your teeth, pushing him away. “no. i love sunghoon.” 
ki hong’s face drops. he sighs, shaking his head as if he’s disappointed in you. “you were always so naive. he’s going to leave and you’ll end up alone.” he steps back, looking down at you. “again.” 
“ki hong,” sunghoon’s voice is a welcome distraction from the uncertainty running through your mind. his hands clench at his side as he walks closer. ki hong stammers a little before sunghoon interrupts. “i don’t want to see you around him again.” 
he nervously bows, mumbling a quick ‘yes, your majesty’ before he rushes off. sunghoon sighs, relaxing his shoulders. you push yourself off of the wall, almost jumping into his arms. he wraps his arms around your waist as you bury your face into his chest. fresh tears threaten to fall before you blink them away. “you’re okay,” he murmurs, hand rubbing your back. he presses a kiss to your forehead, coaxing your face away from his chest. “what did he say to you?” 
you take a shaky breath, looking down at your feet. “he said i don’t mean anything to you.” 
“oh, baby,” sunghoon pulls you back against his chest, wiping away the tears that run down your face. his grip around your waist tightens a little. “i love you. you mean everything to me.” you nod, wiping your face. sunghoon traces your jawline with his finger, lifting your face so you’re looking at him. “come on, let’s go to bed.” 
you ignore the questioning glances from the servants and guards you pass as you rush back through the castle to your room. sunghoon’s arm stays firmly wrapped around your waist. 
his hands are gentle as they carefully untie the knots on your clothing, hands gently running against your sides as he stips you. he’s quick to join you underneath the blankets, pulling you in closer so your head is resting on his chest. he rubs your back as you relax against him. he pulls your hand up to rest against his skin, over his heart. “do you feel that?” he whispers. “it beats for you. only for you.” you shift to press a kiss against his skin. 
“i love you, hoon. so, so much.” 
“i love you too. never forget that.”

Between the Stacks
Fandom: Twisted Wonderland Malleus Draconia/GN!Reader Other Characters: Sebek Zigvolt, Silver, Lilia Vanrouge Word Count: 5,586 Summary: Malleus finds a way to explore Briar Valley without people noticing him. He happens upon a lending library where the story begins. Note: This is an AU with no NRC. It was a fun little idea that popped up. I'm also a sucker for royalty stories, so I might write one for Leona when I get the chance. Warnings: None
---------
People still unconsciously move away from him, but most don’t really pay attention. There’s nothing he can do about his magical presence. However Malleus is pleased that they don’t recognize him as future ruler of Briar Valley. At least they treat him like another person, which means being ignored.
He wanders through the central plaza, weaving in and out of shops. He observes the many vendors shouting their wares to anyone who passes by. It’s all very lively compared to the palace. The smell of food lingers in the air, enticing people to stop and have a bite. Most of the food is simple yet looks divine and smells even better.
Of course Malleus has been to the central plaza before with Lilia. The once bustling plaza would turn eerily silent as all eyes were on him; only the occasional whisper could be heard. The crowds would immediately part for them. No one dared to step in front of them. Shopkeepers and vendors bent over backwards to please them. The shopkeepers would trail behind them, jumping to attention the moment he looked at anything. Customers would leave the store when they stepped inside. 
It was all so suffocating. 
Pretending to be someone else allows Malleus to experience the plaza like everyone else. Vendors make small talk with him, smiling without much fear in their eyes. Shopkeepers greet him when he comes in but leave him to peruse alone. It’s wonderful.
He comes to a storefront that looks fairly new. The freshly painted sign hangs over the doorway and depicts an open book. The small window display has a few books lined up, covers facing toward him. Though the library at the castle is one of the largest, Malleus decides to go in. Perhaps this place offers reading material he has yet to see.
---------
The sound of the little bell over the door ringing draws you from your daydreams. You quickly stand up from your seat. You put on your brightest smile as the customer comes in. He’s tall, needing to duck under the doorway. He’s rather plain looking with muted black hair and mahogany brown eyes. He’s dressed smartly in expensive looking clothes.
“Welcome to the Library Realms, sir! If you need any help, please let me know,” you greet in a cheery voice.
His eyes take in the small store before landing on you. “Thank you,” he replies, a small smile on his lips. He has a nice voice; not too loud and smooth.
You watch as he wanders to the far right side before sitting back on your stool. Glancing down at the book you had picked out for the week, you sigh as you realize you lost your place. You had been too busy daydreaming about the novel you were writing in your head.
Refocusing on the text, you lost yourself in the words. So wrapped up in your book, you didn’t notice the man standing in front of the counter until he let out a very loud cough. Jumping at the sudden sound, you sheepishly apologize, “Sorry! Did you need help?”
He gestures to the area around him. “Where did you get these books?”
“My parents are avid collectors of books, so they’re mostly from their travels. Each realm has their own unique literature, so why not bring it to the people of Briar Valley! That way more people can immerse themselves in different cultures and lands without ever leaving home. Being able to feel the heat of the Scalding Sands or the cool waters of the Coral Sea just from reading is amazing, isn’t it?” You pause as you realize you’ve started ranting.
The man doesn’t seem bothered, rather he has an amused glint in his eyes. “Sorry…” you mumble, feeling abashed.
“Do you have any recommendations?” he asks.
“Well, do you have a favorite genre?”
He shakes his head. “I’ll read anything.”
Scrunching up your nose, you look thoughtfully around before hopping off the stool. He follows as you quickly weave between the shelves. You grab a step stool nearby, and grab a simple, black leather book from the top shelf. The gold letter is an elegant, loopy script on the cover and spine. The leather is soft under your touch as you hand it over to him.
“It’s a book of fairy tales from the Scalding Sands. Now before you object that ‘fairy tales are for kids’ try reading it. The stories inside are beautifully written and filled with deep meanings. And the illustrations are so lifelike, they could jump off the page. It’s one of my favorites,” you explain, smiling fondly at the book.
He gently thumbs through the book before closing it. “How much do I owe you?”
As you lead him back to the front, you start telling him of the way the store works. “Since this is a library and not an actual store, you do have to return the book. Each book you borrow costs five thaumarks. However, if you decide to check out more books in the future, I would suggest the subscription model where you can check out ten books for forty-five thaumarks, twenty-five for one hundred twenty thaumarks, and fifty books for two hundred thaumarks.”
He stares thoughtfully around before responding. “I’ll just take this for now.”
Opening a thick ledger, you write the title of the book down, the date, and the cost. Your pen hovers over the name section. “Your name?”
“My name?” He blinks owlishly. 
“Right. Just to make sure people return the books within a month of borrowing. It’s a bit of magic where a letter will be sent to your place of residence when there’s about a week left before the due date. If you want to extend the time, it costs 2 thaumarks to get another month.” You watch as his eyes narrow. “No one knows your residence except the magic. Not even I will know,” you hastily explain.
He’s quiet for a moment before speaking. “Mal. The name is Mal”
“Just Mal?” When he nods, you don’t push further; anyways the magic will take care of everything for you. You write down the name and it briefly sparkles before fading back to normal black ink. “It’s nice to meet you, Mal.” You give him a genuine smile as you offer him a receipt.
His hand brushes against your own briefly. He’s surprisingly warm, you note. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, (y/n).” Another small smile forms on his lips. For some reason you have a feeling that his smiles are rare.
“I hope to see you again.” You give him a wave as he leaves. “Mal…huh,” you mumble to yourself, your hand still tingling.
---------
True to your word, the book is fascinating. Malleus finds it difficult to put down as each page draws him to continue into the wee hours of the day. The carefully illustrated drawings are created with delicate brushstrokes; it makes them almost pop off the page. The stories are set in the Scalding Sands, portraying everyday life with a twist. And you are right, it almost feels like he’s there in the desert with the characters.
Malleus does feel a bit bad for lying about his name. However, the moment you asked for his name, he felt a sense of dread. Would you become afraid of him if you knew who he really is? In that moment, he wished to be like one of his few friends, normal. It technically was a name his parents used to call him when he was younger, so it wasn’t a complete lie.
The dazzling, unrestrained smile you gave him was nothing like he had seen before. Besides the few close people he had grown up with all his life, he was used to scared looks and fake smiles. Your smile was real and filled with warmth that he wanted to see it again. The casual manner in which you spoke to him was also a breath of fresh air. Being able to converse freely with a near stranger is something he never thought could happen.
Malleus decides to visit your library again. Of course he wants to pick out another book, but he also wants to talk with you again. It’s almost two weeks later when he’s able to slip out of the castle in his disguise. As much as he enjoys the company of Lilia, Silver and Sebek, they can make it hard to leave the castle without one of them insisting to go with him.
He arrives at your store without making any stops. Stepping inside, he inhales the warm scent of ink and paper. You're sitting behind the counter like last time, bent over reading a book. Your name tag glints in the light as you look up.
“Mal!” you greet him with a pleased smile.
He steps toward the counter and places the book down. “Hello. I enjoyed the book.”
You place a bookmark in what you’re reading and move it aside. Summoning the large ledger, he watches as you place a check next to his name. “I’m glad! Are you here to borrow another?”
“Yes. I would also like to purchase the subscription plan.” He already has the money ready for the fifty books plan in a pouch tied to his waist. He sets the payment down. “If all the books are anything like the one you recommended, then I’m interested in reading more.”
Your eyes widen almost comically. “S-sure!” You quickly wave your hand, summoning another ledge, this one much smaller and thinner. “Which plan?”
“Fifty books.” He chuckles when you fumble with your pen. “I’d like your recommendation for those as well.”
“Of course! I’ve read a lot so I can definitely make a list for you!” you agree readily, your eyes sparkle even brighter than before. As you fill out the information in the book, you babble about different books. He listens with interest as your free hand moves to and fro as you talk.
You pause in your ramblings as you turn the ledger around and hold the pen out. “I’ll need you to sign just to confirm you confirm this purchase.”
Malleus mentally apologizes to you as he signs his fake name. Handing the pen back, you also sign below his and close the book. It vanishes in a puff of smoke when you snap your fingers.
“All set! Now we can get to the fun stuff!” You rub your hands together in glee as you move from the counter. “I know last time you said you don’t have a specific preference, so I think I’ll recommend different genres. It’ll give you a better feel for what you might be more inclined to read.”
You stop at the shelf from last time, planning to return the book he borrowed. Looking around, you frown as you don’t see the stepladder nearby. “Darn, someone must’ve moved it…”
“Allow me,” Malleus says. He takes the book from you and easily slides it back in its spot on the top shelf.
When he glances down at you, your cheeks are puffed out. “Wish I was as tall as you. Would’ve come in handy a lot,” you mumble. However, you stop pouting immediately as you make a beeline for a different shelf. “How many books are you planning to take out? Technically, you can take out all fifty if you wanted.”
“Just one will do.” This way he would have an excuse to come back and chat with you again.
As you thoughtfully scan the shelves, he notices two comfy looking armchairs wedged in the corner of the store. They’re angled at a slant so they somewhat face each other. Between them is a small table with an antique lamp that provides even more light. It’s a cozy private nook, and almost invisible unless one is paying attention.
“Are people allowed to use those?” he inquires.
You have a few books in hand when you look up. “Hmm? Oh! Yeah, you can sit there and read if you want. I thought it might be nice to have a place to relax. Unfortunately this place isn’t as big as I would like, so only two chairs could fit. You can stay as long as you want, or at least until closing.”
After putting a few books back, you hold out two. “I know you said one, but this one,” you shake the dark blue leather book with words written in wavy font, “has a sequel,” you wave the other book that’s a deep red with the same wavy font, “which you should read. It’s about a mermaid from the Coral Sea and a resident of the Queendom of Roses, who have a chance encounter.”
He takes the offered books, noting the titles are fairly similar. “I trust your choices. The last book was as wonderful as you said.” He follows you back to the front. “Are all these books collected by your parents?”
“Most of them are, though a handful of them were picked out by me. When I was old enough, I traveled to different realms looking for books on my own. I was born in Briar Valley but I grew up everywhere. My parents were originally scholars, so their jobs took them all over,” you explain as you write down the two books in the ledger. “And I came along for the ride!”
“Must be nice to be able to go anywhere you want,” Malleus muses more to himself than to you.
“Have you ever been out of Briar Valley, Mal?” you ask.
“I visited the Scalding Sands when I was younger, but nothing recent. I don’t have much time for leisurely travel. Perhaps some day…” 
You hand him the books. “Well when you go traveling let me know. Maybe I’ll join you. I have been itching to get back out there, but this place keeps me busy.”
“I’d like that.” He knew you’re only being friendly, but the idea of traveling together sounds nice. “May I use the chairs in the back today?”
“Of course! You’re free to use them whenever you want.”
Malleus finds the chairs much comfier than he imagined. He starts with the dark blue book.
---------
“Why did the main character do that?” Mal asks, his brows drawn together as frustration colors his tone.
You chuckle knowing exactly what he’s referring to. “It’s a defining moment for them. It shows us readers what they’re willing to sacrifice for the people they love.”
He shakes his head. “They could have done it differently without the needless sacrifice. There were so many different options they could have gone with.”
“I understand what you mean, Mal. It’s frustrating, but remember that this does fit in line with who they are as a person.” You mark the page you're on with a flower pressed bookmark.
Sitting in the chairs, you and Mal are chatting about the most recent book he started. Somehow you had found yourself reading with him when the library wasn’t busy, which are most days he visits. It feels like you’ve started a little book club with him as you discuss the turning points or plots of each book.
After spending a few months like this, you felt like you knew Mal. Unlike most customers who selected their books and left, Mal stayed to talk with you. The first day he came in, his magical presence was overwhelming. You nearly ducked for cover, but pulled yourself together. He deserved to be treated the same as everyone else regardless of how strong his magic felt. By now you’re used to his presence, and even enjoy it as it has become a comfort. He’s eloquent in his speech, and at first extremely polite. Eventually he loosened up enough to tease you and make jokes. 
Whenever he enters, it always brightens your day considerably. You share with him stories of your travels and your love of books. He does share some stories though he keeps them vague. Having interacted with him for awhile, you figure out that he has a hard time making connections for one reason or another. You do wonder if people are merely cautious around him because of how strong his magic feels. You do notice customers will give him a wide berth if he happens to be sitting in the back. It’s more noticeable in such a cramped space compared to when he’s outside. But it doesn’t matter to you because you like Mal.
You may have developed feelings for him beyond friendship. You’re not sure how to go about it, afraid of scaring him off. Your other friends just tell you to suck it up and kiss him already! It isn’t advice you’ll be taking any time soon, you decide.
Standing, you leave your book in the chair. “Do you want something to drink? Tea?” He seems a bit surprised at your offer but nods. “I also bought some pastries at the local bakery today. We can snack on those too!”
You return balancing two teacups while the pastry box and two plates float behind you. “I hope you like rose flavored tea because it’s all I have at the moment.”
He helps you settle everything on the small table. “It smells wonderful.”
“And for a snack a chocolate mousse and strawberry shortcake. You don’t mind splitting do you?” Your hand hovers over the small cakes with a knife.
“Of course not. They’re your cakes,” he says with a chuckle.
After evenly dividing the cakes and passing over a fork, you dig into the dessert. “I’ll admit I usually don’t eat dessert before dinner, but I couldn’t resist when I saw them. I was actually hoping you would show up today so I could share them with you.”
“You were?” He seems pleased as he watches you with his dark brown eyes.
You look away as you take a deep drink of the tea. “Well, you are a regular here, and I find talking with you to be…enjoyable.”
Glancing back, you nearly lose your breath at the radiant smile he gives you. You see his sharp canines glint in the light. “Thank you. I also enjoy my time with you, (y/n). I don’t have many friends, so I’m glad I met you. You’re a wonderful person with great taste in books and a beautiful smile.”
Flushing at his praise. “M-Mal…”
He smiles teasingly. “Why are you getting embarrassed? It’s true.”
You lightly swat his arm. “I-I’m not used to such compliments. I swear you just like to see me squirm.”
“It is fun,” he teases as he flashes his sharp teeth.
“You’re terrible, Mal.” Yet you can’t help but laugh.
As you enjoy your tea and snacks, you regal him with another story about your time spent in the Coral Sea. He always listens with rapture as you spin your stories. Sometimes having parents who traveled so much had its good points; you grew up seeing new places, learning new cultures, and experiencing more than a child your age would.
Near closing time, you do one last walk around to make sure everything is in order. Mal is waiting for you at the front. Turning off all the lights, you grab your keys and bag. “Let’s lock up!”
Exiting, the night is quiet as most people are busy having dinner. You lock the door before casting an extra lock spell. Though you don’t think anyone would ever break into your library, you decide to be on the cautious side.
The two of you walk side by side down the street and pass the closing shops. “So what are your plans for tonight?” you ask.
He looks a bit annoyed as he tells you. “Paperwork. Lots of paperwork.”
You give him a nudge with your elbow. “Shirking your duties, Mal? It can’t be that bad.”
The way his mouth turns down and his cheeks puff out makes you laugh. “I’ve been neglecting my duties according to Lilia. He’s been hounding me to sit down and work.”
“Lilia?” It’s a new person he’s never mentioned. There’s something familiar about the name but you can’t quite put your finger on it.
He brushes it off. “Never mind him. What are your plans for tonight?”
Though you want to ask who Lilia is, you decide to let it be. “Well I’m going to make something for dinner, then maybe do some work for the library and finish up a book if I have time. All very boring.”
“I guess we’re both very boring people,” he says with a mock shake of his head.
“Just two bookworms with no life,” you sigh forlornly. As you come to a crossroads, you give him a salute. “Well good sir, I will see you tomorrow?” you ask, hopeful.
“I have some business I need to attend to for the next couple of days.” He shakes his head while touching a hand to his temple. “Nothing I’m looking forward to, but it can’t be put off. My grandmother won’t allow it.”
You nod knowingly. “Then I’ll see you when I see you.” You give him a wave before heading to the road that leads home.
Stopping, you gather all your courage and turn back. “Mal!”
He looks a bit surprised to see you rushing back to him. “Is something wrong, (y/n)?”
You decide you will take your friends’ advice. “Lean down for a second.”
Mal bends down enough that you’re eye level with him. Quick as lightning, you place a soft kiss on his cheek. Feeling yourself warm up, you pull away. 
“B-bye!” Without waiting for his response you run off, nearly tripping in your hurry.
You leave Mal standing there still bent down, his cheeks turning pink as he processes what just happened.
---------
“Malleus, what is it you’re reading?” his grandmother asks. Breakfast is a quiet affair where his grandmother usually works and eats. Oftentimes he’s left to poke at his food, so he brought a new book you had recommended with him.
Looking up, he vaguely answers, “A book I was recommended by a friend.”
She smiles brightly. “A friend? Have I met them before?”
“No…” He closes the book before setting it aside. “More tea, grandmother?”
“Thank you but I’m fine, child. Will I be able to meet this friend of yours?” she inquires, not letting him off the hook quite yet.
How should he answer this? Malleus isn’t even sure if friend is the proper term for you. After your sudden cheek kiss, he went home in a daze. He spent a good part of the week trying to figure out how he felt about you. 
At first he thought he saw you as a friend. You are someone he enjoys spending time with talking about books and mundane life. To him, the visits to your store are the highlights of his days. Even his weeks. Being with you is easy. He doesn’t have to worry about what you think of him because your body language says it all. You’re comfortable with him, and he is with you. 
However the more he thought about it, perhaps he did see you as more than a friend. You made his heart beat a little faster when you gave him a smile or touched his arm. Sometimes he would stare at your hands wanting to hold it in his. And when you kissed him, a part of his brain wanted to call you back so you could kiss him again.
“Malleus?” His grandmother's voice breaks him away from the memory. 
Shaking his head out of the daze, he met her curious gaze. “Yes?”
She regards him for a moment before holding out a stack of papers. “Please look at these after breakfast and let me know what you think. We have a few more things we need to go over before meeting with the council.”
Taking the large stack, he nods. “Of course.” Back to work as usual.
It’s only a few days later that Malleus realizes he doesn’t remember where he had put the book. He looks all over his room but has no luck. He retraces his footsteps but can’t find anything. He even searches the royal library hoping that it was accidentally put there by a staff member. 
Malleus is beside himself when Sebek happens to walk in. “Young master, is something wrong? You look stressed!” The alarming rise in his tone does nothing to soothe the headache that’s coming on.
“Have you seen a small, brown leather book? It contains a series of short stories.” He’s pulling apart the couch in the sitting area once more.
“I have not seen your book, but I will look!” Sebek searches the room along with Malleus with vigor.
“When was the last time you had it?” Silver asks, having heard the green haired half-fae’s voice in the hallway. Lilia follows in behind him.
He’s silent as he runs through his day. “Breakfast time a few days ago with my grandmother. I had set it aside and she had given me paperwork to go over…”
“Hmm. Perhaps one of the cooks found it. I will inquire.” Silver leaves while Lilia ushers Malleus out of the room.
“The queen would like to see you to go over the dinner arrangements for the party,” he explains. However Malleus is too focused on other things to hear him. “That book must mean a lot to you, Malleus,” he comments.
He only nods in agreement.
---------
“So you’re planning to leave in a few months?” Mr. Wyrm asks..
“Yes, I think it’s time to close shop and go traveling again,” you inform him. “I’ll pay the last month's rent in full.”
He waves you off. “Don’t worry about it, (y/n). Tell your parents I said hello if you see them.” He eyes the shelves of books. “Where do you plan to store the books?”
“I have a friend who knows a shrinking spell. I can store them at home until I decide to come back.” The bell rings announcing the arrival of a guest. You both look over and your mouth nearly drops.
The queen of Briar Valley stands in your small library flanked by two royal guards. “Y-your h-highness!” Mr. Wyrm’s voice raises a few octaves.
You can’t help but stare at the woman. She’s not tall but she carries herself like she’s a giant. Her posture is straight and her shoulders are pulled back. Her very existence demands respect and recognition. Her gaze is sharp and intelligent, though there is a hint of softness. She keeps her face schooled in a polite smile as she looks around.
Turning to you and Mr. Wyrm, she asks, “Which one is the owner of the store?”
Clearing your throat, you hesitantly raise your hand. “M-me?” You wince at your meek tone.
“Hm. I wish to return a book that was left behind.” One of the guards comes forward with the book.
You take it with shaky hands. However, you recognize the book immediately. It’s the small collection of short stories you had recommended to Mal the last time you saw him. There’s even the handmade flower pressed bookmark you gave him inside. How on earth did the queen of Briar Valley get a hold of it?
“So you are the one my grandson has taken an interest in? I can see why.” She chuckles. “Are all these,” she gestures around the store “your books?”
“Y-yes!” Clearing your throat once more, you speak up at a more normal tone. “My parents collected a lot of these on their travels, and I also started doing the same.”
“I see. I’m sure he loves to hear about your stories,” she says more to herself.
You share a look with Mr. Wyrm before he ducks out, leaving you alone with the queen and her guards. “Um, pardon my question, but your grandson?” As far as you know, you had never met the future ruler of Briar Valley before.
“Prince Malleus. He’s been reading a lot lately, and I was curious to see where he got the books from. None I recognized from the royal library,” she explains.
You blink rapidly as your thoughts race. “But I’ve never met Mal-” You trail off as everything clicks into place. Your Mal is Malleus Draconia, prince of Briar Valley and future ruler.
The queen notices the way you seem to fall silent. “So he was using the transformation potion… I do apologize if what I’ve said has caused you any distress. I’m sure my grandson had a good reason to present himself as someone else.”
“I-I…I don-”
The door suddenly opens, the bell jangling loudly. Lime green eyes immediately meet your own.
---------
When Malleus had heard that his grandmother was going into town, he hadn’t thought much of it. He was still busy trying to find your book. However when Lilia made an offhand remark about a bookstore, he realized who had his book.
Without thinking he had teleported to town. He ignored the gasps at his sudden appearance. Your shop was close by and he headed right over. However when he neared the door, he knew he was too late. His grandmother was inside.
Opening the door, he sought you out instantly. You stare at him in disbelief. His grandmother turns to him with a knowing twinkle in her eyes. “Malleus, lovely for you to join us. I was just returning the book to your lovely friend.”
“Grandmother…” he growls lowly at her. She isn’t fazed.
“Since I’ve returned the book, I need to return to the castle. I’ll see you later, dear.” She bids you both a farewell, and leaves with her guards.
Malleus is left standing there. You awkwardly hold out the book the queen had returned. “I assume you’re not done with this?”
The way you  hesitantly look at him makes his heart ache. You usually smile brightly and casually speak to him. Now it’s like you don’t know how to address him. Which, he understands since you just found out who he really is.
He doesn’t take the offered book. Instead he walks around the front desk, so he can stand in front of you without something blocking him. “(Y/N)... I’m sorry for not telling you the truth. I just wanted people to not treat me differently because of who I am. For once, no one was afraid of me because I was just another person. Even with my magical presence, most people were able to ignore it when they saw I wasn’t anyone important.”
He wants to reach out to you like you sometimes do. Brushing your hand against his arm or squeezing his shoulder casually as you used to talk. “I just didn’t want to lose you, so I couldn’t bring myself to tell you the truth. I hope we can still be friends.” 
He didn’t hope for more. How could he ask for more from you when he had lied. You, who was always so honest and open with him. You, who shared stories with him and listened to his not so interesting ones. You who’s eyes sparkled like stars and who’s laughter made him smile.
“I can kind of understand why you did it. I mean, I’ll be honest, if I knew who you really were, I probably would’ve been intimidated,” you confess. “I can only hope that you’d eventually tell me the truth, Mal.”
“Of course. I was trying to figure out how to tell you once I could get away. After what happened last time…” The memory of the quick kiss has remained in the forefront of his mind for a while now. “You deserved to know the truth.”
“Thank you.” Looking around the empty store, you gesture at the books. “I’ll be closing in a few months. I’m planning to do some more traveling, and maybe visit my parents wherever they are.”
He slumps a bit. “You’re leaving Briar Valley? For how long?”
“I’m not sure. Maybe a few months or so. It depends on what I find.” Fiddling with the book in your hands, you finally set it down. “The invitation still stands, you know.”
He’s confused, trying to remember what invitation you gave him “What?”
You smile at him just as brightly as before. It takes his breath away. “Come travel with me. I did invite Mal, which is you. That is if you can get away.”
“You really wish for me to go with you? Knowing who I am?” he asks, hesitant but hopeful.
“Of course! You’re still Mal to me. You might look different, but you’re still the same person I’ve come to know and care about.” You take his hand boldly. “Maybe you can add some new books to the collection.”
He cups the side of your face with his free hand. His green eyes glow brightly as he tenderly looks at you. “I want to, but I have duties here. Though my grandmother may let me, I can’t just leave. I’m sorry…”
You place a hand over his as you lean into his touch. “I understand. I’ll write to you then. And maybe someday you can join me when everything has settled.”
“I look forward to that day.” He places a kiss on your forehead before wrapping you in his embrace.
---------
Hello Mal!
I’m writing from a small village called Harveston. Did you know a place like this existed? I didn’t but I’m glad I got to stumble upon it.
There’s a lovely apple farm that I visited. Their apple cider is amazing! Maybe we can go together someday and share a drink?
I’m only here for a few days before I’m off again. I’ve collected a few new books along the way. I hope you’ll like them as much as I do!
How are things in Briar Valley? From your last letter it seems you’re very busy. I hope you get to rest a bit in between your work.
By the time you get this letter I’ll probably be sending another. I’ll let you know when I decide to stay a little longer.
Your bookworm, (y/n)

Anonymous asks
I am perfectly fine with anyone using anonymous asks, I personally use them a lot. However if you use anonymous asks, please put a emoji(s) or a letter(s) as your signature. Just put it at the bottom of your ask and I'll add it to the list
Used Letters:
Used Emojios:
I will write
Different AU's: I can do all diffrent types! Pirate, mafia, hybrid, fantasy, royalty, mermaid, soulmates, mall workers, vampires, ghosts, ect. Or if you have your own AU and would like me to do somthing with it I can tolltally do that to.
Omegaverse: I know not everyone likes this trope but i'm a absaloute sucker for it. I can do Alpha, Beta, or Omega for charecters or Reader. I do write heats but not in a sexual way, i personally write them kinda like a human period but replace the blood with increased body tempetures.
Any Gender: I am personally genderfluid and AFAB so those are the two that I would have the most experience with. However if you want me to do somthing like a trans reader or AMAB reader than I can try my best. Don't be afraid to make it specific to you, everone is diffrent and I understand trying to look for something that fits you more than the stereotypes.
Crossovers: I don't see a lot of creators in any fandom doing crossovers a lot. I see like *Insert charecter* x reader with *insert other character* personality but not really crossovers. So feel free to request a crossover with a diffrent show.
Any skin color: I love having variety in my writing so I will do any skin colors. I can do basic skin colors, from pale peach to dark brown. I can also do exstream versions like skin that is nearly paper white from how pale it is or skin that us nearly space black from how dark it is. I can also do unnatural skin colors, like Mina!
Alterhuman Reader: Ok so I see absaloutly no alterhuman reader fanfics out there so i'm here to change that. I'm not personally a alterhuman but I do have a few freinds that are. If you want me to do a specific one instead of basic I can also do that. Like instead of a dragon kin I can do a dragon kin with space wing and starts eyes with claws that glow in the dark ect.
Body Marks: I personally have stretch marks, moles, freckles, and odd placed birthmarks so I can do any of these or others if you would like. If you are specifically extra self-conscious of your body marks than I can add extra levels of love to specific part if you would like :)
Feel free to requests anything as long as it's not in my will not write list!
I will not write
Abuse: I will not do the character inflicting pain on the reader or the reader inflicting pain on the charecter. I can do mentions of past abuse, such as a charecter or reader flinching at touch or loud noise.
Cheating: character doing it to reader or reader doing it to character is just a big no. I never understood cheating, if you don't love somone just break up with them. If you can't do it for safety reson than find a support system to protect you in dangerous situations.
Misscarage: I have lost three sibling to this and I still cry at night thinking of them, please don't ask me to do anything to do with this subject. If you do I will give you 1 warning and then I'm blocking you.
Abortion: I don't really have a side here but I don't like the though of writing it as it makes me uncomfortable.
Rape/SA: I don't feel comfortable doing this subject. I can not do mentions of it as I have not personally experienced it and don't want to miss somthing or do something wrong.
NSFW: I may be a yandere blog but I do not wish to do anything sexual on this blog, only romantic and platonic here.
Note
Don't worry about being cringe with me! As long as your not hurting anyone than why should I stop you from having fun? Fell free to be your authentic self and request somthing super specific if you want.

Hey you guys have any royalty au recs? I'm just such a sucker for (fake) royalty *heart eyes* I didn't see anything listed on the master post so I figured asking would be okay! btw thanks so much for your work mods! :D
Hello! We have a few posts on our #royalty au tag (which I’ve now added to the masterpost), and I’ve got a few more fics for you now...
His Deepest Wish by wife27 (M)
Aziraphale has accepted his status as servant and expects nothing more from life. Crowley is a reluctant prince who wants to be free from his title. They both find something they weren’t looking for.
Or
A Cinderella AU.
Wicked dance by pirripipi (T)
The kingdom of Heaven and the kingdom of Hell have been at war with each other more times than all of the rest of the lands combined. Mostly due to the fact they hate each other.
Therefore when the wedding of the century is announced. An union meant to bring peace. An arranged marriage between Crowley, the youngest heir of Hell, and Aziraphale, the youngest prince of Heaven… they know something is just not right.
Dressed in Purple by GothRockFairy & KaytheJay (T)
The countries of Gloaya and Odura had been at war for a very long time, longer than Aziraphale and Crowley had been alive. Because of that, Princen Aziraphale was offered to Prince Crowley in order to make peace between the two countries. Crowley soon must take over as king and try to fight for the change that he wishes to see in the world.
Give it a Shot by walking_contradiction42 (T)
When Aziraphale, prince of Tadfield, gets captured by the famous outlaw Crowley he can only think of escape. But soon he discovers that Crowley and his merry people are much different from the stories told about them. Crowley absolutely despises all royals and the stupid inhuman taxes that are causing the people to live in misery. But he can’t help but feel intrigued by Aziraphale, who seems so different to what he expected. Okay and maybe he has the tiniest bit of a crush on him.
Or: The Robin Hood AU that nobody (except me) needed.
Until Death by TawnyOwl95 (E)
Both desperate to escape arranged marriages Prince Aziraphale and Royal consort in training Crowley elope.
It's a daring coup designed to free them both and end the decades old war raging between their countries.
They just have to make it back to Aziraphale's home without either side catching them. And prove that a wedding night did, in fact, take place.
It quickly becomes apparent neither of them have thought through the implications of this.
with all your delights by weatheredlaw (E)
Crowley laughed. “I thought you’d have realized by now. I am no ordinary king.”
“No,” Aziraphale said. “You certainly are not.”
or: aziraphale is sent as a gift to the southern king to smooth over trade negotiations. they both find themselves in over their heads.

for the fanfic ask, 14 and 20?
14: what’s your favourite AU setting?
Anything Lietpru and Office AU is absolutely iconic
I'm a sucker for stuff like royalty and fantasy and the likes but with the characters I like which is rare to find.
20: what something that immediately makes you exit out of a fic?
Well if I literally can't read it then I either immediately exit out or decide that reading this might be entertaining so I try to read it, am unable to, and I proceed to exit out. But honestly proper formatting is the very first thing anyone notices so it's extremely important to do well. It's almost an immediate sign of whether or not it is a fic even slightly worth it's salt.
Sometimes things like references to music that dates the fic and is clearly something that the character would probably never listen to.
Misuse of a character by turning them into a blatant oc
Ooh when the tension or internal conflict is so poorly written that it makes a character sound like they are a 15 year old in highschool. Clothes tie into this as well.
It takes a lot to write good crack so I usually find myself exiting out of crack fics a lot. Really we don't discuss enough what makes or breaks a crack fic.
Making Feliks a diehard brony
There are so many little things that I immediately judge a fic by.
For example, when someone clearly is trying to use a tip or something they learned online for writing and it's applied ineffectively. Or like you know they looked up in a thesaurus, every single descriptor or adjective when it clearly doesn't mesh the level of writing (like using a synonym that is overly formal and whatnot in an otherwise fic that is written with an informal style ( note informal style isn't a bad thing you just have to make sure it's consistent and works for the story)
Here I am talking as if I haven't only started writing in December lmao

Hey, happy belated STS! Renegade Prince is described in your WIP intro as a fantasy adventure and seems to have some delightful fantasy features like dragons, royalty, and assassins. Here's your q - choose one or answer both! a) What's your favourite fantasy element in RP and why, OR b) What story/ies do you think mostly inspired RP?
happy STS!
i'm doing b first because LEGEND OF DRIZZT. IT'S LEGEND OF DRIZZT. RP exists because I read like fourteen drizzt books in a row, then a bunch of fic, got extreme brainrot about it, wrote a 130k jartemis/descent into avernus au and then immediately afterwards wrote the first draft of RP
and then my brain went 'no more reading drizzt books. you know 1 (one) bad Thing that happens and now you Cannot Read Them :)' so i haven't read past the first third of the second sellswords book in like. two? three years? it's a Situation of Affairs, to be sure
anyway for a...i think my favourite fantasy element is probably the Adventuring Party. it's so D&D, but RP is a very D&D-style book, it's meant to be that kind of fantasy. I love a good ragtag group of adventurers who will complain and bicker but ultimately love each other
that and assassins. i am such a fucking sucker for assassins. even when the rest of the book is not my favourite, i'm still there for the assassin, or assassin-adjacent character. (looks directly at the Rhapsody books)
thank you for the ask!

New year, still looking for rp partners 🤧
I've recently finished the Percy Jackson's Last Olympian series and would love to rp in this universe! I'm not entirely comfortable in playing characters, and I think it'd be really fun if we both came up with our OC's. I'm open to your ideas so feel free to brainstorm with me on this!
My other ships haven't changed:
drarry (Draco x Harry from Harry Potter)
wolfstar (Sirius x Remus from the Marauder era)
destiel (Dean x Castiel from Supernatural)
larry (Louis x Harry from One Direction)
I don't often do canon, but I'm not against it! If I don't have any set prompts, here are a few things that I like:
a/b/o
lovers from a past life
gods/demi-gods au's
superheroes/vigilantes
soulmates (although i haven't done one in a while)
the classic enemies to lovers with angst and true hatred
royalty (usually done in a fantasy-like setting)
I'm definitely open to pretty much everything else. The only things I won't do are serial killer au's and anything gore. Other than that, I'm looking forward to chat with you and hear your thoughts!
As for the setting, I'm a sucker for Ancient Greece and the Victorian era.
I'm 22 and won't rp with minors, nor will I make my characters underage. It just makes me uneasy, especially if smut is involved. I rp in third person and like to respond in multiple paragraphs. However, depending on the context, the responses can be shorter. If that sounds like something you might be interested in, please DM me ☺️ !

for the ask game: 👑 & 💘
Thanks for the ask @starlingflight!!!
👑Do you like writing short fics or long fics? I do tend to go for short fics, but I currently have three longfics on the go. Two which I'm trying to finish before I start posting (a morally grey Andromeda AU and a fantasy/royalty arranged marriage AU - also Tedromeda, of course) and my Tedoire fic that's probably going to take a decade to finish because I mostly write that when the vibes are right haha.
💘Is it easier to write angst or fluff? Fluff, definitely all the fluff
I do write angst on occasion, but It's always followed by fluff.
I'm just such a sucker for a fluffy fic that makes me squeal at the sweetness (looking at your Drastoria)

fav ship tropes???
Soulmate Aus:
I love soulmate aus, but I feel like not many people actually know how to write a soulmate au well, so I don't read them as often. However, when a soulmate au is written well, it is easily one of the best tropes in my opinion.
Rich x Poor
Again, this trope can either be done very well or absolutely horribly. There needs to be a good sense of balance between the two, and nothing can be too one-sided. But it's such a cute idea in theory, and when people pull it off, it's a very fun trope.
Friends to Lovers
I'm a sucker for wholesome fluff, and childhood besties to lovers is the ultimate form of fluff. There's nothing better than watching two kids who have known each other since childhood slowly develop feelings for each other. It's the cutest.
Villain x Sidekick
This is a very particular trope, but it's always lived in my head rent free. Imagine the sidekick to the hero is injured or something. You think the hero is gonna go and save them, but instead the hero decides to sacrifice their sidekick and leave them to die. The villain sees this and is horribly angered and decides to defend the sidekick, taking them in and treating their injuries. Romance ensues.
Shy x "They asked for no pickles"
Basic but adorable. The one who's scared of confrontation, and the one who handles all social situations for them. It's a perfect combination and it's just really wholesome.
All Powerful Deity x Some Dude
Just the image of an all-powerful being who can control literal universes falling for some rando mortal is so funny to me. Bonus points if the mortal is super oblivious to the whole thing as well.
T4T
As a T4T myself, I love it when other creators write T4T content. It doesn't matter if it's queer or het T4T, as long as it's two (or more) trans people vibing and being in love with each other, living out my dreams.
Cinnamon Roll x Would Kill You
Extra points if their aesthetics are swapped. Ya know, a big, beefy, scary looking character who is secretly a big softie with a heart of gold, and a small, adorable character who is super violent and has probably killed a man before. It's entertaining, especially when their personalities are mixed up by others.
Royalty x Bodyguard
The potential is real with this one. There's so many ways a trope like this could go, and I just love that versatility. It could be angsty, it could be fluffy, or it could be a glorious mixture of both, but they're all wonderful options.
Flirty Extravert x Nerdy Introvert
Really, I love any kind of opposites attract, but this one might be my fave. I just find it funny, and a lot of my favorite ships fit into this trope well, so it had to be mentioned. It's fun, and the amount of stories it could lead to are basically endless.
And I'm sure there are plenty more, but these are the only ones I could think of at the moment. Thank you for asking!

Asked a question about one au, and got a mention of another au half off, a great deal if I say so myself. XD Speaking of AUs, now you have me intrigued about the arranged marriage AU that you mentioned. I would absolutely love to hear more about that as well if you're willing. -An absolute sucker for various outcomes of various situations known as AUs 🍂

SORRY FOR DISAPPEARING, I was too tired to comprehensively explain this AU LMAO
So anyway, this AU isn't actually that well developed, but that's fine because talking about AUs helps me brainstorm them and develop them further (FaaF for example was a WAAAAY different AU before I started telling my bestie about it) so this is very convenient for me (so yeah this is also the first time I'm talking about this AU publically, no tag for it yet)
Excuse my rambling, I'm pretty much going to brainstorm in this post LMAO
Originally, Petunia was going to be related to Vespa, either her bastard child or grandchild that she marries off in exchange for training the Pure Vessel, but I was very, very unhappy with this idea from the get-go. With how opposed Vespa is to the entire plan in the game it would have been very OOC for her to do this in my opinion, and while I am a big advocate for "canon is just a suggestion" and am not too pressed about accurate characterisation, changing a character only to prop up the other is the only thing I cannot vibe with. Truly, the only reason Vespa even came to mind in the first place is because she's the closest and most convenient bee royalty, which...isn't a great reason to change her Singular Canon Trait, in my opinion.
Instead, I think I'm just going to have to plop down another bee kingdom reasonably nearby Hallownest but not a part of it. This does mean I could get to explore Petunia's parents as characters, which I've been meaning to do for a while (I don't talk about her past often because it isn't fully finished, but her mother wasn't a good parent. It's something they and Flower bond over in main FaaF AU).
Pale King, looking for any opportunity to sharpen his Pure Vessel's skills, works out an agreement with them. Their "problem child" will be married off to his vessel and he'll accept them into his family and they will be treated as such even post-sealing, and in exchange, her bees will help train the vessel.
Although she's not a good parent and pretty much just wants an easy way out of her problems with her son, she still loves him in her own weird, problematic way. So she only agreed to this because she was filled in on the basics of the Pure Vessel's nature and with the promise that they're not actually alive, in her mind marrying Petunia off isn't a problem if the said spouse is barely above an object. In her mind, Petunia will still get to live her life and date and do whatever she wants and won't have the obligations of a normal political marriage because nobody's actually expecting her to be loyal to an object, but now she's not her problem but the Pale King's, and maybe the two of them can have a normal relationship now that they don't constantly bicker and fight.
This of course doesn't go according to plan.
Petunia's mother's opinions of her daughter and their relationship couldn't be further from the truth, and if she thinks dropping them off to be a part of some other family will fix their problems then she's deeply mistaken. Petunia is not the kind to forgive easily and she sees this as just another slight from their mother, that she demands that Petunia respect her and be nice to her but doesn't actually want to put any of the work into fixing her wrongs and their relationship. So this entire situation just infuriates Petunia, who hates his mother even more now, and on top of it they feel alone and scared in a new kingdom, surrounded by strangers - and man are the nobles here complete assholes.
Petunia and Flower meet as teens and are married off shortly after they both turn 18 and then Petunia moves to Hallownest. They share a room and everything, and at first, Flower is very, very unhappy about their arrangement. They didn't want to get married to this stranger, that wasn't how they imagined their wedding day, and now they lost one of the very few safe spaces for them where they could be themself and relax in private.
But the more they live together and interact with one another, Flower starts not minding Petunia as much. They're always so unusually nice to them, despite knowing of their nature. And, okay, they'll admit it, they're actually kinda cute.
Flower finally reveals themself to Petunia when they one day return to their room after training and find her crying on the bed. They want to comfort her somehow, she was always so nice to them and they want to repay them.
Instead, they damn near give Petunia a heart attack. On the plus side, he's not crying anymore? It's hard to cry when a supposed statue is talking to you
They eventually calm down, and then they're just bewildered, honestly
"Why- why would you reveal your secret to me?"
"Because you were sad, I hate seeing you sad... And also no one will believe you."
So after this, they actually start to develop a friendship. Flower can actually act like themself at the end of the day again, and honestly, it's actually kind of nice to be able to talk to somebody who isn't their little sister.
Petunia can vent to them about their life and they always listen and try to support her, and similarly, they finally have somebody who they can rely on and vent to.
Petunia eventually started going out with them and Hornet, and sometimes he even managed to convince the Pale King to let him take Flower along to the city whenever they didn't have any other duties.
Petunia eventually settled into Hallownest nicely with their and Hornet's help, and aside from occasional hiccup with their mother whenever she'd remember their existence and write a letter their life was pretty good.
Over the course of the next few years, they grew extremely close together and naturally eventually started catching feelings. Cue the good old secret romance. Petunia even tried to convince them to reveal themself and not be sealed, but he knew that if Flower's anything it's extremely stubborn and there was no changing their mind once they set out to accomplish something.
This all went to shit the second Flower's knighting ceremony goes awry
Instantly, Petunia's mother treats it as a break of their deal and demands Pale King return her child home and for the marriage to be broken. She of course doesn't ask Petunia's opinion even once. Meanwhile, Pale King is busy trying to, you know, save his kingdom, so he essentially tells her to suck it and wait until after he deals with more pressing issues because he doesn't have the time now to handle their divorce.
On the plus side, Petunia's presence does mean Flower feels more comfortable and safer around the palace. Their spouse is literally the last saving grace in all of this.
That's all I could think up at the koment
Though to be fair, I am not happy about this version either. It honestly would have been better if I could get the Vespa version to work, but currently, I have no idea how to do that. Aside from it being just way more convenient, I also greatly prefer political drama within Hallownest rather than bringing up a distant kingdom into this. So I guess if you have any suggestions, feel free to hit me with them!

n to answer ur question about my fav tropes omg.
friends to lovers: that blurred line between friendship and romantic love that u nevee realise u have crossed. n my favourite is especially that trope where it’s like “i love them sm but idk how they feel about this so lemme just stay put until this silly lil crush goes away cuz i dont wanna ruin what we have” THE ANGST here is top tierrrr. they watch u go on dates or show interest in someone else n they just have to keep it in cuz they’re happy if ur happy🥹🥹
exes to lovers: again, a top tier trope. “im pretty sure im over them……or maybe im not” skdhdj. especially love reunion thingis so badd, flames rekindling n stuff ykwim? ex!husband oh whew, when theres a kid involved n they’re like “have u seen anyone new at the house?” or “do yk if mama has been seeing someone else?”. leading to some drunken confessions, heartfelt convos, realising u can work things out cuz there’s nobody else who u would rather spend the rest of life with.
forbidden love/arranged marriage: especially with a historic setting or with royalty aus. oh im such a sucker for theseee. pining, the desperation, longing when jt comes to forbidden love is just 🫶🫶 n ur so right sel! with arranged marriages when ur not all that fond of the other but learn about them, see the arrangement as a blessing rather than a burden, slowly growing to love them more than ur own life.
im so sorry i made it so lengthy 😭 bur hru sel?! Hope all’s good 🤟
zuro anon
zuro anon hello !!!! 🥺 sorry am getting to this late jansjs but aaah we have the same taste omg 😭😭
friends to lovers: you get it omg the slowburn and pining is insane i think 😭 and i rlly love the idea of how the love changes and transforms and the whole journey towards that ajbdjd i think it’s bc i like exploring the idea of romantic vs platonic love and what differentiates the two 🥺 bc w friends to lovers i think thats so easy to blur!! ++ like what u said!!! the dilemma of whether to sacrifice the friendship for The Feelings 🥺 and both sides thinking it’s one-sided pining when it’s NOT 🥺 and them just watching u go on dates with someone else bc they think it’s what’s u want when u’re rlly just doing it to try to move on 😭
exes to lovers: i love the tension of reuniting w someone u once knew so differently and intimately hjdbsj i think it's bc there's always going to be a part of you that they know but no one else does y'know? (tho ofc this only really works if the reasons for the breakup r circumstantial and a right person wrong time kinda thing) and that ex-husb bit is exactly like u said it omg hsbdfjhsa it just adds a whole other layer of commitment to it bc i think the love will always be there and navigating that is just ouuuUGh
forbidden/arranged marriage: omg im a sucker for royalty aus too 😭 i think it fits gojo so well tbh shdbsj some of my fave royalty aus are @/petrichorium's usurper!gojo and sera's (@/seravphs) knight!gojo!!! the desperation is soooo intense in royalty aus bc the tension in one touch or even just a look is equivalent to like... an entire sex scene imo.... AHSFBHASFB but !!! i super adore the premise of arranged marriage bc of that exact idea too!! of growing to love eachother 🥹 (ngl i rlly like the idea of arranged marriage w bakugo too 🥺)
this was so lengthy too omg but i love talking abt this with u zuro anon!! thank u so much for sharing this w me aaah 🥹🫶🏻 i'm doing good!! i have a doctor's appointment tomorrow but that's it rlly! wbu!!

for the oc asks - motion, stillness, favorite, and alternate for seraphina & lucrecia! (i hope i remembered how to spell her name, i’m on mobile & can’t check)
(hi i’ve been following you for a bit because i love sun haven & i love your art, so here! have an ask!)
I'M SORRY THIS TOOK SO MUCH TIME TO DO!!!
Aaaah!! Thank you so much it means a *lot* to me!:,) I'm glad you like my art! (Also you're good w/ Lucrecia, I just write her name in the hungarian form (Lukrécia) since her whole concept is just around that:D) (also sorry if I don't write that much! idk if I should, but I wanted to in advance. Lucrecia is not well developed honestly.)
motion: How does your OC move? How does their clothing help or hinder their range of motion? Are they flexible, coordinated, clumsy?
Seraphina is very very clumsy, but she likes laughing at her stumbles when she takes a wrong step as she skips along, or if she accidentally steps on her skirt and falls over. She is kind of small, so her dresses can be a bit long for her, and she usually trips over them if she doesn't adjust their lenght lol.
Lukrécia is, well. I think she is almost the polar opposite, she is very coordinated with her movements. Since she does folkdancing frequently, I'd expect her to be like this, and also a bit flexible.
stillness: How does your OC act while still? Are they fidgety? Do they have any common gestures or tics? Does their clothing affect how they hold themselves while at rest?
I'd say Sera is quite bouncy when they are still. She just, can't be totally still. She is always moving, bouncing on her feet, always high energy. Maybe too much energy for some folks:,D (khm a peculiar green haired man perhaps khm)
Lukrécia is very calm, collected in comparison. She likes the tranquility of stillness. She doesn't like to bother the still life.
favorite: Does your OC have a favorite article of clothing or accessory? What is it? What's the meaning behind it? Do they wear it all the time or do they wear it sparingly to keep it safe?
Oh I can definitely see Sera having something like this! Hmm... Well she of course has Wes's medal/necklace thing that I really should draw her in honestly.. Anything that's green, too. Her favourite thing to wear is her gloves, I think, because she doesn't want to burn others and that helps her do just that.
Lukrécia, I'm not sure. I can see Wes giving her a ribbon or hair piece or something, maybe a brochure that she would really like. Besides the obvious gift thingies, I think her fave clothing would be either the decorated vest she has, or the petticoat/s because she likes how they make her skirt fluffy and flowy.
alternate: What would your OC's alternate universe look be? If they're a fantasy character, what's their modern look? If they're sci-fi, what's their fantasy look? What AU would you want to see your OC in, and how would they dress themself? Bonus: Prompt an AU!
I'm starting this with, I already kind of have an AU for Sera that I started as a silly little roleplay prompt, and then it became a whole trainwreck. I like to call this Royalty!AU or Princess!AU, because it's basically just Seraphina as a princess (and every other rnpc is royalty too btw) who later in her life dates Darius and marries him. (I'm a huge sucker for princesscore I'm sorry Wesley babe.) I haven't really thought about what her usual princess outfit would look like, but she has a beautiful crimson red dress with a golden lace I think and a crown of course, that Darius gifted her. (I think I drew this when I was sick and didn't give the dress any justice whatsoever. Might try to draw it again.) One thing I changed for her of course is her face markings, because she did have those originally before I gave her Wes's ones after their wedding. I might write something for this somewhere in time but I'm not a great writer so idk.
Lukrécia??? Again, I kinda did her as a one time thing, so not much about her but I'm trying to think of something. I'm also not really great with outfit descriptions, uhhhh.. Well their modern look would probably consist of garments that are tight fitting, in the sense that. The folk dresses we have and wear are really really tight. Like you have to tie every layer of petticoat and skirt and the apron too, and we are used to tie them as tight as possible since we are about the age of 4, so you get used to being uncomfortable if something is not on the brink of suffocating you. So probably lots of pants with drawstrings and hoodies that she can pull tight around herself. (Speaking from personal experience:>) These would be paired with combat boots. Her hair? I dunno. It might be cut shirt for comfort. Or just stay the same, maybe she would let it out or wear it in a bun? Or a different braid? I'm not good at this.
I really wanna do a Greek Gods/Goddesses AU one day maybe, and a D&D/ttrpg oriented AU since I love ttrpgs and I think it would be fitting as it's in the same caliber as Sun Haven. Maybe a VTM AU if we are speaking about ttrpgs, because Withergate would be a great setting in my opinion. No I haven't been thinking about how Prince Lacroix and Prince Darius are really freaking similar what are you talking about.
Considering writing a starter prompt for Princess!Sera after this in a new post but I'm not sure. I'm just really in the mood for rp and I'm indecisive lol I dunno if anyone would be interested
Anyways I hope I answered everything at least decently! It was kinda a challenge honestly. I'm not good with writing but I have myself to blame for wanting to do this haha

i loveddddd the way you formatted it it was super neat and idk im just a sucker for interesting formats of swifching between past and present and like idk yeah it was cool
AND NOW OFF TO READ THE ROYALTY AU!!!
- 🪿
hi goose this is a few days old now but finally getting around to answering this!
aaa thank you I'm so glad you like my descriptions :D it was definitely a bit tough getting back into the glass writing groove with the style I use for the descriptions and stuff so I'm glad it turned out ok
"my pythia" made my skin crawl to write
YEAHHH TATTOO TIME. every single time I see fanart of the tattoo I freak out (/pos) so much because all the interpretations are SO cool. I love seeing what people come up with because I myself have no artistic ability, I can only describe what's in my head through words, so when people are able to actually put that into art form it just makes me so happy
yes exactly that's why I wanted it on his pulse!! I wanted it to sit right over the reminder that he's human! that he has blood pumping through his veins! everyone has that blood and that heartbeat and I wanted the tattoo to sit right above that both because of the connection to his heartbeat, but also because it's the place other people can feel your pulse. it's the connection point almost between your pulse and others, if that makes sense.
(random fun fact, I can't feel my own pulse on my wrist. doctors and nurses can't get a pulse from my wrist either. like there have been many times I've gone to the doctor and the nurse has tried to take my pulse and they frown and readjust their hand and then they try the other wrist and no matter what it doesn't work and I'm just sitting there. the only place you can get a pulse off of me besides straight up feeling my heartbeat is on my carotid artery on my throat)
aa thank you I had a lot of fun describing wilbur's thought processes in this chapter, especially with the alternating format
you were RIGHT about the vine tattoo you got it and it was so funny I had to just not say shit but i was like yup, several people have already figured it out :)
HIS UBER DRIVER IS HEREEEEE
aaa I'm so glad you enjoyed!! I had so much fun with the format of this chapter. I plotted it out a bit before my trip, and I specifically wanted to finish ch 25 before my trip because I knew ch 26 was going to be the one I'd most want to write after I got back. I needed a REALLY good exciting chapter to come back to and the alternating format was going to be the way I sucked myself back into the story after being out of that headspace for 3 weeks straight, and it worked. it was just so cinematic in my head y'know? I can perfectly picture the flipping between past and present with like different color grading and lighting and music and all that

Royalty au🤩
What can I say? I'm a sucker for a royalty AU!
Based on this prompt list
AO3
She stared at the heavy wooden doors in front of her, frozen in dread. She was deaf to Tikki’s chidings of how ‘princesses are not supposed to be late’ and ‘Marinette, you’ve already kept him waiting long enough.’ Because behind those doors was another suitor. Another prince. Another potential future. 
She couldn’t move. 
“Marinette,” Tikki hissed, nudging her with her elbow. But she ignored her handmaiden. How was she supposed to go through those doors? How was she supposed to meet another prince who she was sure was ready to charm her. 
How was she supposed to let herself be charmed when she had already given her heart away?
The tiara that sat on her head suddenly felt heavier. It was the reason she had to let herself be charmed. Or at least, go through the motions of being charmed. Because her marriage wasn’t about love. It was about her duty to her people. 
And Lucas… 
She shook her head. She could never be with Lucas. It didn’t matter if her heart belonged to him, because she belonged to her kingdom. And her kingdom needed an alliance. Her kingdom needed trade routes and security. And despite the peace and reassurance, and the understanding he provided her, he could not provide what her kingdom needed. 
Besides… Lucas loved Marie. Not Princess Marinette.
She swallowed down the hard lump in her throat, though try as she might, she couldn’t still her trembling hands. She clasped them in front of her, hoping the draping of her sleeves would hide the display of nerves, and nodded to the pages standing by the doors. 
Her breaths were shallow and shaky as she stepped into the receiving room. She ignored the unimpressed look Tikki, who was serving as her chaperone for the meeting, was giving her. Silently, turned to face the man who could potentially be her future king. 
Her breath caught in her throat, almost choking her with shock. 
“Lucas?” his name was barely recognizable, the way her voice came out as a squeak. 
But it was him. The groom, who had accompanied one of the delegations, was standing right in front of her. 
Except… he wasn’t dressed like a groom anymore. The plain, threadbare shirt and mud-splattered breeches and boots were gone. Replaced with a silver and sapphire brocade doublet and immaculate black breeches and boots polished to a shine. And sitting on his midnight hair was a silver coronet set with sapphires that flashed in the light. 
“Ma- Ma- Marie?” She had never heard Lucas—was that even his name?—stammer before. But his face was a mirror to the storm of emotions brewing in her. They stood there, frozen, blinking at each other. She could feel the ghost of Tikki’s watchful eyes on her, but her mind and heart were racing too fast for her to care. 
Hope—the most dangerous thing to her heart—began to bubble up inside her. And before she could quash it down with… with some reasonable explanation for what was going on, Lucas’s eyes began to shine. And then a quiet, heart-stopping smile slowly curled across his face. “But I suppose it’s actually Princess Marinette?” 
“Y-yes,” she managed to get out as she nodded. A timid fool’s smile was tugging at the corners of her lips, but she didn’t dare let it get far as she gazed into his eyes. 
“I believe I owe you an apology. And an introduction, your highness.” An apology? And a- He smiled gravely, but there was that sparkle of mischief she had come to love in his eyes as he bowed. “My real name is Luka-“
“Prince of Côte de Saphir,” she whispered.
