How about platonic yandere Collector who wants the reader to be his parent; similar to Peter Pan and Wendy?
:)
~~~
"It's you, it's really you! Oh finally! Finally!" Turning you paused as a blue and yellow boy stared at you, his glowing orange eyes peering into yours.
The Day of Unity had just occurred and your head was spinning from the pain of it. You knew what was coming from your time with Belos and yet you never could have prepared for it. As you looked at this kid confused trying to decide if he's real or not you suddenly hissed. Grabbing your wrist, your entire arm burned from your magic being drained out of you moments ago. Standing in your tattered uniform left ruined after the scuffle you were in with the abomitons you took deep breaths trying to steady your vision and rapidly beating heart.
You were a mess from helping the rebels but otherwise you were alive. Alive and grateful. Belos hadn't won, your friends were safe, you hoped. Gasping for air, your coven mask makes it difficult to breathe. You just hoped this awful pain would go away soon. Everything burned, it still felt like you were on fire, like you were still being killed off.
Feeling your coven mask get tossed to the side revealing your face you find your able to breath better. You reach up confused touching your face.
"Better?" They ask you. The star boy was several feet away which means magic must have been used to throw the mask but you didn't see him summon a spell circle. Heaving in air not questioning it as you regained your full consciousness you looked around confused. You hadn't been here moments ago. How did you get here? Where was here?
Your head was spinning and you couldn't gain your bearings. But this star child... they helped you. Why?
"... Hello?" You respond softly staring up at the floating child. He beams at you and lands on the ground, the bells on his shoes jangling as he quickly walks over.
"Stay away from them! NO WEH!" As the child flicked his hand King was sent tumbling backwards. Vision cleared but still in immense pain from the after effects of the draining spell you hold your arm out for King, reaching for him.
"King...?" Getting up to go after him and make sure he's okay you stumble for a few steps before you fall to your knees again. Your breathing was uneven as your hands kept you upright, your vision was swimming again but you had to check on King. On the other kids. On your friends and family. You had to make sure everyone was okay. They had to be okay.
Wheezing as you try to push yourself up again you close your eyes unable to do it.
The blue and yellow child suddenly grabs your arm stopping you from trying. You look down at where his hand was touching you before you grabbed at your forehead trying not to scream. Everything was burning. It all burned.
"New friend! New friend!" He cries out and you cover your ears as they begin to ring. His voice makes your skull thrum and you groan uncomfortable.
"Please..." You beg but you're not even sure what you're asking for. You reach out for King but you're not even sure if you're reaching the right way. Nothing makes sense.
"You're going to be my new Baba!" The kid states happy. "Belos promised and he broke his other pinkie swear so this one he has to keep!" Baba? Belos? Pinkie swear? What was this kid talking about?
"... Baba...?" You ask squinting your eyes confused. They nod before pulling on your arm. About to protest you pause as the pain goes away with their touch. They have a smile on their face as they pull you to your feet and hug you around your waist. Weakly you smile back before instinctually your hand comes up to play with their white and fluffy hair.
"Mmmmhmmm! You're going to be my Baba! You're going to take care of me like you take care of everyone else, but only me?" He states and you simply pat the child's back still processing what was happening.
Eyes glossing over you keep playing with Collectors hair nodding at his suggestion. Baba? His baba? You'd like to be his Baba you think. As all other thoughts fade away except your love for the being infront of you, you get a hazy smile. Collector, your child's name was the Collector. Briefly you can hear King and the kids calling for you but your focus was on the your child who was hugging you tightly.
"I love you my Star child..." You mumble as a tear escapes your eye.
"I love you too Baba!!!"

Yandere Collector headcanon?
You pinkie swear with the Collector after making a deal with him. You'll be his bestest friend forever and play with him always but only if he leaves the rest of the Boiling Isles alone and heals everyone after the day of Unity. Locking his pinkie with yours he smiles devilishly as he whisks you away before King or Eda can stop him.
He keeps his end of the deal before he makes you both a castle just for the two of you! One where you can play, and dance, and sing all you want, all the time!!! No one can ever stop your fun! There's no rules like Philips lame castle and it's just the two of you. The floors are bouncy, there's rooms without gravity, the gardens a wonderland of crazy looking plants, the books come alive in the library, in the music room the instruments play themselves, abomination servants walk around the castle with star freckles, there's stuffed animals and plush things everywhere, toys litter the hallways, the kitchen makes snacks for you both, and so many more cool things to explore together that the Collector hasn't even thought of or explored yet!
Your his bestest friend ever/play mate (plaything) /toy yet. He doesn't really understand the difference between those words and uses them interchangeably like adoring nicknames. If you try to explain the difference to him inbetween game sessions he either doesn't listen or just doesn't understand. He thinks your his bestest friend but he doesn't treat you like how a healthy friend would treat another friend because he doesn't know how. Good luck teaching him.
He has so many games he wants to play. Tag, hide n seek, chase, freeze tag, three legged race, and so many others! There's also board and card games to be played and sometimes he'll make a game up just for the heck of it. If you make up a game he'd love to play that too!!! He likes being in charge of the rules though so don't try and cheat when your in charge. Collector could care less what your playing together as long as your playing. Just bouncing in the hallways with you is fun or sharing his stuffed animals and other toys. He loves spending time with you and always has fun when your around. Sometimes he can be really overbearing and drive you to the point of exhaustion but it's all in the name of fun. He'll go from activity to activity dragging you behind him, if your tired he's sure the next game will wake you up!
Collector has so many nicknames for you. Doll/Dolly, Toy, Friend, Precious, Sibling, Buddy, Bestie, Bff and a million more. He of course knows your real name but prefers to call you the other things as he thinks that's what friends do. He would love you to call him nicknames as well and would be pretty pushy about it. He puts so much love into your nicknames you should do the same for him!!! That's what besties do right? He prefers anything silly/kind and will tell you his favorites so you use them again. (Some of the nicknames he gives you are more mean spirited than anything but most of them are surpringly sweet, don't give him a rude nickname though he won't take it well) Also Starboy/anything involving the stars are some of his favorite nicknames. If you call him little brother he might actually cry and just hug you happy.
He loves telling jokes and playing pranks! Tell him your best jokes pretty please. He always bursts out laughing even if their horrible because he just hasn't had anyone tell him a joke. If you don't have any he'll get you a joke book so you can memorize and surprise him. He also adores puns. It's a two way street however. As he expects you to laugh at all his joke, puns, and pranks as well. Even if some of the jokes can be mean and the pranks can be dangerous he wants you to laugh. Collector never does anything to intentionally harm you but as an excited kid with way too much power and energy it tends to happen.
Boundaries are non existent with them. He will be hugging you, holding your hand, and clinging to your arm. He's been deprived of touch for 400 years and he's going to catch up on that with you. He'll also ask to be held by you, ride on your shoulders, demand he be given piggy back rides, and jump into your arms whether you want him too or not. Sometimes he asks but most of the time he doesn't and you just have to get used to how clingy he is. Forget ever being alone again, he is glued to your side because he takes the best friends forever title he's given you very seriously.
As first when he gives you food it's all candy or other sweet desserts. He summons a feast full of cakes, cookies, and candies. Your going to have to explain to him while sweets are amazing as a treat too many are bad for you. He may not understand and get pouty because they work just fine for him and sweets are the best why don't you like them? He might think your broken as sweets are clearly the best but than you have to carefully remind him that your both very different. After a week he relents and starts adding more healthy food for you like fruits, nuts, meats, and non sweet grains. However, vegetables have yet to make an appearance as he seems to hate them.
Collector also doesn't understand the need for you need to eat two or three times a day but fits in feeding times inbetween your sleep and play sessions. Collector personally doesn't really need to eat but enjoys snacks and sweets regardless. He always shares with you and when you have snacks he expects you to do the same. He often given you his unfinished snacks for you to hang onto so he can finish them later. (Younger brother behavior to a T)
They constantly use their magic to show off to you. He does so many tricks for your entertainment but he expects your applause and awe at each spell in return. His favorite tricks include summoning fireworks, making things levitate, or creating something entirely new. If your mad at him one day and try to ignore him or act bored at his magic he gets really upset and throws one of his famous tantrums.
The only way the choas will stop is if you pay attention to him like he wants, your attention and adoration is all he wants and it always calms him down. He warns you with teary eyes as you hold him after his meltdown his magic won't be so nice next time if you don't appreciate it which scares you into being nice again. You learn to hide any of your negative emotions from Collector after incidents like this.
If you ask he'll teach you to do really powerful magic like him too!!! (even if your human) He really likes doing magic with you and enjoys teaching you new things since magic wise he knows so much more than you. He likes knowing more and might tease you about your lack of knowledge. A little mean maybe but it's done in a very playful and teasing manner. All his spells are super fun and are things you can use in games you'll play together later! Like levitation or creation or other things like that. He's of course more powerful than you which gives him an advantage when playing but he wants to make it kind of fair. You should be having fun too after all!
Matching clothes are a must because as besties he wants to twin with you. The Collector may even change your apperence to make you look like him. White hair, celestial themed clothes, star freckles, and different colored eyes. He changes you back after awhile cause he likes how you looked before but be warned if he decides to look like a mini you one day. Finds it funny to change up your look every now and than just to see how you react.
If you ask for it, it's yours. He will summon/make/take anything you want and give it to you. After all friends give each other things right? After his gift though you need to be extremely greatful or he may get pouty and try to take the gift back. If you seem to be using his gift too much or more focused on the gift than him he may get jelaous and try to take it back as well. So it's a balance of being greatful but not to attached as he wants your full attention on him and not what he got you. Of course sharing is caring so he'll calm down if you offer to split the gift or put it away and suggest doing something else together.
Other than games he also loves stories. Every night and sometimes while your eating he wants to hear a story. You can read it from a book or tell it from your head, making it up with him. He'll use his shadow puppet mastery to help tell the story and he adds in things when he thinks the story needs a little extra something. He always has so much fun and enjoys making you laugh!!!
His attention is short lived and his observation skills are not the best. Because of this he often forgets your limits and accidentally hurts you. He of course feels bad as your his favorite and he never really means to hurt you. Collector will get star bandages even if there's no blood and will act as your personal doctor as he sticks them on you. He'll give you gentle kisses for your boo boos and make sure not to play for the rest of the day so you can heal. He'll use his magic to take away any pain but still wants to put bandages on you and act as your personal doctor.
Collectors pretty easy to calm down when he gets mad and you learn quickly what'll appease him and what'll set him off. He has very lax rules but that's both a good and bad thing as sometimes it's hard to tell what you can and can't get away with. Don't worry though the worst thing he'll do for punishments is put you in time out or put you to bed early if your being cranky. If your being mean or upset him he might start a tantrum but he's careful to just destroy your things and his toys and not direct his powers at you as he doesn't want to hurt you. Anytime you do get hurt from one of his tantrums it's always an accident and he feels bad afterwards. He does however like playing doctor and enjoys taking care of you after you get hurt even if it was an accidnet.
They really love when you hum or sing to them or just outloud in general. Collector has a thing for dancing so he'll grab your arms and laugh dancing with you as you sing. He however, might keep demanding you to sing and dance til the point you drop from exhaustion. He never means to push you this far but sometimes he gets excited and forgets how easily you can get tired compared to him and his endless energy!
Speaking of exhaustion he doesn't really understand sleep all that well. But he knows that your not a being of pure energy like him and that you need sleep. Collector makes the biggest, prettiest, most comfortable pillow fort for you to sleep in and for him to play in. He tucks you into warm blankets very carefully and makes sure your pillows are nice and fluffy and that you have stuffed animals so you don't get lonley. (You typically sleep in the giant room sized pillow fort but if your in timeout/ early bedtime your placed somewhere more boring to sleep)
As your sleeping if Collector gets bored or lonley he may use his magic to speed up time so it's been eight hours for you but like eight minutes for him. This way you can rest but also play! As your sleeping he might get jealous of the stuffed animal your hugging (even though he put it there) and decide to crawl into your arms to cuddle instead. He really loves cuddles and doesn't mind staying still for long periods of time as long as he's being held.
All in all it's a dangerous situation because of the Collectors powers. But he pinkie swore to protect his favorite toy/friend so your more or less safe. Hopefully Luz, Willow, Amity, Hunter, and Gus come back soon to help save you but until then you'll gladly play with the Collector and be his bestest friend if it protects Eda and King and your home. After all Collector has warned you what he'll do if you break your pinkie swear of being his bestest friend forever. You can only pray you somehow find a way out of this before you become too accustomed to it.

I just have to say your awesome
and I have an idea for a platonic ask(if you wonder why my asks are platonic I'm ace and non binary) but here it goes human reader jamming on guitar at hexside and reader is luz friend and raine is there for a visit they hear readers music and decide to come listen
I relate to raine a lot I like my music but get nervous playing in front of people
Raine didn't hate people per se despite what others said. They were just... Less tolerant of people than others. An introvert had their own skills and as a talented musician their skills showed. Just not always on stage. Besides as a spy it was better not to be seen, simply heard. A small suggestion here or there. A plan sabotaged every now and than.
"Now where is that classroom? Hexsides moved some things around." Raine hums to themselves as they wander down the schools hallways. They smile remembering fond memories of their Hexside days.
Eda and Raine had re-established contact and we're now in a much more open and honest relationship. It had been hard to hear about Edas struggles with her identity and self and how much pain the Owl Lady had gone through alone but Raine thought their relationship was better for it. It also explained a lot of Raines unanswered questions which left them relieved. Eda had asked Raine to keep an eye on her protege Luz as they were assigned to do check ups for the Emperor anyways. He had decided to send a coven head to check on the school since it went relatively untouched. As Raine checked the doors number they looked for the mischevious human (Eda's unofficial adopted child) believing formally introducing themselves was needed. The school was one of the only place Belos didn't have spies (well Raine was the spy but they were a double spy so does a spy not spying cross the spy out?) so Raine wasn't concerned on getting caught. After all they were a welcomed guest since they were an alumni and Principal Bump knew of the rebellion being apart of it himself. He was glad Raine was giving the updates to Belos and not another coven head who may mention their new mixed tracts policy.
"Interesting Eda never mentioned music..." Raine mused to themselves as they listened to a powerful song being played. It was coming from down the hall in the room Eda said Luz would be in. As each chord was played it struck an emotion Raine didnt realize they were feeling. Memories flooding their head as the music washed over them.
Raine smiled softly beginning to hum along as the music got louder. Raine was never told that Edas apprentice was also a master of the arts. Eda had mentioned a drawing or two in passing as well as the occasional story Luz gave her as a gift but not any musical talent. As something soft and melodious filled their ears they were drawn closer to the classroom, enthralled by the sound. And there Luz was but she wasn't the one playing.
Looking up adjusting their glasses as they leaned against the doorway Raine was surprised to see you with Luz as it was technically after hours. You were a Hexside Student wearing multiple magic tract colors but the main one being red.
A fellow bard.
That made more sense. You were simply Luzes friend. A multi tract one at that.
"Oh Raine! Hi... your here!" Luz says surprised as she begins stumbling over her words and blushing. She waves excited and you get a bit distracted but play on almost done with the song. Raine recognizing the ending chords to this piece.
"Luz." Raine greets with a chuckle before they turn to you. You smile at them clutching your guitar close and Raine wishes you'd play something else as the song comes to an end. How have they not heard of you before? They may have stage fright but they kept up with all the other performers in the Boiling Ilses and as head bard it was their duty to know the up and coming music proteges. Obviously they didn't want you to join the coven as covens were dangerous and lies made up by Belos but regardless they should know you, your musical talent not going unnoticed. "Who's your friend?" Raine questions trying not to be too awkward as they observed the wide eyed student with curiosity.
"Oh them? Ummm that's..." The person slides off the desk they were sitting on and the instrument they were playing disappears in a puff of red smoke. They shyly walk up to Raine and hold out their hand with a nervous smile.
"Hello Bard Coven head. (Y/N). (Y/N) (L/N)." They state with a bit of confidence as they swallow nervously. Raine smiles back at them and taking their hand they shake it gently before they do a little bow.
"Raine. Raine Whispers. Head of the Bard Coven but please don't be so formal, just call me Raine." They instruct never liking the sound of Head bard simply taking the job to stop Belos from the inside. "You my dear have a talent." Your face heats up and Raine sends you a playful wink before they turn to Luz. "Luz I need to speak to you privatley. But (Y/N)... I'd like to keep in touch." They explain and you nod eyes wide at the possibility of being noticed by the Head Bard of the Covens system.
As you leave to wait outside you summon your guitar and hold it close making Raine smiles. The Owl Lady was always introducing them to the most interesting people.

Hey, can I ask for a platonic Darius x young! Scout! reader where the reader is a young scout (around Gg’s age) who’s job is to assist Darius and he sees them as his child. So one day, the reader finds Darius treating Gg as his child and feels a little hurt so when Darius finds out he feels so happy that reader sees him more like a father figure. It can be a male or gn reader.
I don't do gendered readers. Also as the writer if I did do genders it would be my choice not your decision.
~~~
You paused as Hunter spoke with Darius, biting your tongue as the two laughed at something you couldn't hear. You worked hard to be here. Worked hard to show your worth and prove yourself to Darius, to be worthy of being called his apprentice. The golden guard was the Emperor's Newphew. He never had to work for anything, he was given it freely. His position, his title, his staff. All things you had to earn.
When the coven head looked your way piercing green eyes focusing on you, you turned so he wouldn't see how upset you were. It was stupid, honestly. You had no reason to resent the golden guard... no reason to dislike Hunter. He was actually okay for someone who grew up with so much power. And yet your chest burned every time you saw them together. Darius was your mentor. He should be with you. Not him.
Huffing annoyed you stalk off in the other direction to attend to other duties so you could avoid them talking. Darius didn't need Hunter, he had you and you had him...
~~~
You're in the cafeteria at a common lunch table instead of the room you usually dine in with the coven heads. It was busy and loud which was nice because the noise drowned out your overwhelming thoughts. Eating the gruel that they called soup you crinkled your nose before chuckling. Darius had turned you into such a diva when it came to food and other luxuries.
Darius was a high class man and would probably scoff at eating with everyone else as he'd clawed his way up to the top. Clawed his way to a seat at the big boy table. He enjoyed being high class and often showed off his talents and influence while doing what the Emperor asked of him. One of the more showy coven heads who knew he deserved better treatment than everyone else. Which made this part of the cafeteria a perfect hiding place, he'd never look here and your sure no one would notice you if he did think to look here. After all you blended in, Darius was the one who stood out.
You're proven wrong however when he sits down across from you.
You were hoping he wouldn't find you here but of course he knows you too well. Staring at the bowl infront of you, you can't look into your mentors eyes. Continuing to eat what should not pass as food he hums observing you. His hands rest under his chin as his elbows press against the table and he raises an eyebrow.
"You seem distressed." He states flatly and you swallow unsure of how to go about this conversation. It's not like you could tell him! Titans no, he could never know.
"... I'm fine." You settle with before shoving the spoon in your mouth to keep from talking anymore. Darius tsks not believing you for a second but says nothing else. He'd always been good at reading you. At reading others. Perhaps that's why you formed such a strong bond with him so quickly. That and working together on a daily basis in a close vicinity let you see parts of himself he never showed anyone else. Darius was quit playful when he wasn't being snobby and you loved that side of him. But lately he had been spending time with Hunter showing off the part of him you thought only you saw.
You knew the jealously you felt was stupid and yet you couldn't push it away which is why you were trying to create distance. Darius was your mentor, nothing more. You had no right to dictate who he did and didn't spend time with. You had no right to be jealous.
"You're clearly not as your spacing out. I won't dare go into detail about how you've been avoiding me lately. What's wrong?" Darius demands and than it happens. His bright green eyes focus solely on you as he reaches out and touches your shoulder. You swallow your barley tolerable food and guilt down before looking away.
"Nothing's..." You start but he cuts you off, gloved hand gently squeezing your shoulder as he tries to angle his head so your looking at him. As you stare at his concerned face something in you stirs and you worry your about to cry.
"(Y/N) I expect you to be honest with me. You are my apprentice. Do not lie." Darius didn't tolerate lies unless it was simple gossip, something fun and humorous. Anything outside of that was grounds for punishment. The man could tolerate a lot but lies had never been okay unless he was in on them. Which is what made this so hard. You didn't want to lie to him.
"I..." You start but you stop stumbling over your words as you try and think of what to say. You don't want to sound childish. Darius preferred to work with a more mature mindset, if he thought what you were feeling was silly he might decide your not the best apprentice after all and chose someone else. What if he chose Hunter?
Closing your eyes you shake your head before pulling away. His green eyes widening in shock as you do so. "It's nothing." You state as you drop your spoon and clench your hands tightly. You didn't want to talk about it! You didn't want him to leave you.
"(Y/N)." He repeats and you feel the tears coming.
Darius is up and out of his chair in a moment purple cape draped around your shoulders as he pulls you away from your food and out of the noisy and crowded cafeteria. He's quick and dignified walking with poise as he leads you down the halls somewhere quiet to talk. Finally you make it to his room and as he closes the door behind him, he places you on the foot of his enormous bed. Pulling at your clothing and staring at your hands you hear a loud sigh.
"(Y/N)." He speaks your name softly and you feel your heart twits as you refuse to look up. Gloved hands cup your face as he bends on one knee to talk to you, tilting your head to look at him. "(Y/N), tell me what's wrong." Darius asks, not orders or demands and that's when you feel the tears begin to drip.
"It's stupid. Darius really it's nothing." You assure as you tilt your head up and try to blink back the tears. However, that just makes them fall. Darius purses his lips and gently wipes away a stray tear face only showing concern and not judgement.
"If it's making you upset like this, it is not nothing. Have I been pushing you too hard? Do you need a break? You don't have a full time position but you are at school full time as a student if your stressed or overworked I'm sure I can-" He starts and you begin to panic. What if he replaced you? What if he decided you were too much trouble and not worth it?
"NO!" It came out quick and harsh sounding. Daruis' eyes are wide as his thumb pauses and you stare at him as the tears begin to drip down your face more freely. Letting out a sob at your outburst, at your mistake, your hand covers your mouth as you look away ashamed. You expect a harsh retort. A scolding of some sort. Instead his arms are around you faster than when he draped the cape over you moments before in the cafeteria. He pulls you close and you can't hold back the sobs anymore.
"I don't want to be replaced." You beg and Dariuses grip on you tightens as he holds you closer.
"Replaced? Who put that silly notion in your head? (Y/N) no one could ever replace you." Darius states as he pets your hair and holds you close. You continue to cry and he rubs soothing circles into your back. "Who brought this up? Why are you thinking this way?" He questions in a slightly harsher tone.
"... I... You and Hunter have been so close lately. I just... I..." You begin to stutter out. "... I thought you were replacing me. That you didn't want me anymore." Darius stiffens before he pulls you back so you can stare into his eyes.
"Oh (Y/N)." Darius murmurs softly before he carefully moves some of your hair out of your face. "No one could ever replace you." He says gently. "You know that right?"
"I..." Shaking your head he hums softly wiping away your tears.
"(Y/N) you're more than just a worker too me. Yes Hunter and I have gotten closer as of late but he could never replace you. Your like... well. Titan I feel old saying this. Don't tell anyone I said this." He threatens. Smiling with a chuckle he takes a deep breath. "... (Y/N) you're like my child." He states and you can't help the butterflies in your stomach. He didn't mind that you saw him as a father? He wasn't repulsed at the thought of you being his kid?
"I... I am?" You whisper unbelieving. You'd seen Darius as a father figure for awhile now but had never said anything out of concern for professionalism. Darius nods confirming what he just said and you mirror his smile before you reach up and wipe at your eyes already feeling much better.
"Darius I think of you as my dad. I... I didn't want to say anything but I'm glad you did." You explain and he pulls you back for a hug wrapping his arms around you tightly. You hug him back and sniffling you nuzzle into his chest happy he feels the same.
Taking out a handkerchief when you pull away a few minutes later Darius dabs at your face with it, drying the rest of your tears.
"I will always be here for you my little abomination. Always." He promises and you nod both at the nickname and what he's saying. You loved your dad.

Can you do collector’s older sibling headcanons?
This kind of became a (Yandere) Philip X Reader along the way. Do with that what you will lmao, but yes Collectors your younger sibling and you care for them a lot
Your brother was trapped in the Inbetween Realm but you weren't. The Titan missed capturing you when your sibling pushed you out of the way and took your place in the Inbetween Prison instead. When the Titan was defeated you tried to free the Collector in every way you knew how but you couldn't. Not on your own. If you tried you would also become trapped and that wouldn't do either of you any good.
As the world around you begins to change and the Titan becomes a habitat for witches and demons you debate for several years if you should just get sucked into the Inbetween Realm with your brother. Because at least then you'd be together. You missed him so much, his hugs often lingering in your mind on the bad days. The way he'd jump into your arms after a game or when he wanted to be held. You'd press the disk against your chest cradling it close, despite Collector warning you not to incase you somehow got sucked in (you wouldn't unless you tried to free him but he worried). You told Collector maybe you should just get trapped as well but he responded with a firm no and that you weren't allowed and you promised to free him so you could be together again!!! Even if the two of you were together in the Inbetween it wasn't worth it! And it was breaking the promise! You just nodded holding the disk closer as you listened to your brother. You'd do whatever it took to free him, you pinkie swore as children to always protect him after all.
You didn't want to but you became desperate. You made a deal with Philip that he would free your brother when the time came. After all you needed someone who was flesh and blood to free him from his prison, as well as a titan or titans blood to lift the curse. Philip promised he could get you what you wanted in exchange for what he also wanted.
When you were eventually questioned by Philip on why you couldn't do it yourself since you were an all powerful being, you admitted If you pinkie swore with your brother and tried to pull him out of the mirror you'd either just switch places with no way to switch back or you'd both be stuck together. And you couldn't use your magic to force someone else to do it for you because that didn't work and resulted in either the Collector getting shocked when he tried to come out of the mirror or you getting burned by your own magic. Philip seemed to take an interest in that, writing it in his journal but you didn't care. As long as he filled out his end of the deal. You should have paid more attention in the early days.
Philip takes an interest in you rather quickly once the deals struck. After all a Star borne or a child of the stars is exceedingly rare and immensely powerful. Looking like humans but with celestial embellishments you more resemble him than a witch or demon. The fact that you and the Collector are siblings makes it even more fascinating to him because of his own brother that he rarely brings up. He has many questions for you and since your brother doesn't like those kinds of "games" he comes to you. He asks to study you as you work together and you don't mind sharing harmless things with him but are careful with what you say around him. Philip is a tricky man. You don't trust him as much as your brother does but without him you can't free the Collector so you remain silent about your doubts.
Although you're hesitant you do agree your star born form makes it hard to blend in so you chose a more witch like appearance. However as the years begin to pass, and you travel with Philip to get what he needs, you notice the longer you're in the false form the more witch-like you actually become. You're losing some of your abilities and powers in the process of hiding as a witch and gaining more empathy and sympathy for other living beings. You stop seeing them as play things and start seeing them as people. Emotions you possessed before but didn't quite understand like you do now come to the surface. You keep this to yourself and are careful to not let Philip notice any lost powers.
Collector asks you about it one day and you explain you just need to be more careful and practice more. Once he's released it won't matter anyways because your powers will come back ten fold. He agrees and both of you are none the wiser to Philip listening in and beginning to plot.
Collector gives Philip the knowledge he wants to gain. Ancient and powerful magic lost to the people of the Isles as well as the Draining Spell. Sadly while your brother freely gives away the spells you're the one forced to actually teach them, your brother too impatient to even try. Philip never seems to mind always liking your lessons together. After all your neither witch nor demon but a celestial body. In his eyes you're almost akin to an angel, albeit a fallen one. He begins to call you angel affectionately and you notice how it always makes your cheeks warm.
Your lessons become more touch orientated as time goes on and you begin to trust each other. You place your hands on top of Philips to guide him with magic. He also smiles at you more taking close note of what you're telling him. He always listens, something you are not used to. Sometimes his hands will wander when you should be focusing on lessons but you can't help but notice how gentle his touch is. How soft his hands are. It makes you start to feel new things and you never ask him to stop so he continues. You push these strange feelings aside and decide to focus on your goal, trying to lessen your time in your weaker form as you try to keep a grasp on your weakening powers.
You remember the First GrimWalker. You remember them all, but him specially. Hunter definitely looks the most like Philips fallen brother but the first one had a special place in your heart. After all as a child he was rambunctious and playful, reminding you of your brother. And as he grew you felt yourself growing too, learning to be a parent figure and guiding hand as he helped you and Philip with your goals. Celestial bodies such as yourself do not reproduce the same way organic beings do so you never thought it possible to have a child. You never realized you wanted one.
The first ten or so GrimWalkers knew your secret but after that they started becoming blurry faces that you refused to get attached too. After all Philip and Collector always broke their toys. Your brother would play mind games with them and suggest horrible things for Philip to do to them if they stepped out of line. You hated this sadistic side to them and tried to ignore it. Collector and Philip thought their pain was amusing, you had to hide how much it hurt you.
When you "sleep" you astral project to talk and play with your brother in the Inbetween. You know Collector misses you so and hate that he's imprisoned but you do everything you can to be with him and make sure he knows how much you love him. Philip knows better than to wake you during these times and leaves you to commune with your sibling. The Golden Guard is also never allowed in your room to give you privacy as you do this ritual. You play games all night together and although you can't touch you do your best to comfort him. You know he misses you and you assure him you miss him too. The Golden Guards could never replace him please stop breaking them. He's easily jealous and you're getting tired of remaking them every time he gets mad that they can touch/hold you.
You tell your brothers stories about what's going on in the outside world and show him magic tricks that he mimics in his shadow form. You always smile at him happy and he giggles having fun. You love hearing his laugh. Sometimes he'll ask you to do something and you try not to hide the pain in your face as you strain your powers. Being away from the sky and staying on a planet while pretending to be human/witch is putting a fee on your body.
As time goes on you aren't the only one experiencing physical changes to your form. You watch as Philip goes from a bearded brunette man with human features to a shaved older man with long dirty blonde hair and witch like attributes. His teeth sharpen, his ears point, and his eyes hold a gleam of magic only a witches can. And his palismen beast. As you struggle to maintain your abilities he struggles to control his newfound power. Both of you having separate fights you must face alone. Yet... you're never truly alone because of the other something you take an odd sort of comfort from.
Collector doesn't like his shadow form but he often contorts it and does various things with his 2D body to make you laugh. His favorite is when you play shadow puppets together!!! Maybe being a shadow has its perks because he always wins! He'll prank people with his shadow form and swipe items for you and Philip and sometimes even the GrimWalker. He can't touch you but smaller items like books or bags full of snails are tangible to him so he tries to help in any way he can. He wants to quicken the plan after all!!!
As centuries pass your feelings develop further and your mindset changes. You start to notice this little flutter in your chest when Philip is around. When he touches your shoulder or arm it sends sparks through you similar to cosmic energy. However, this only happens in your witch form. As a star borne your concept of emotions and feelings are different than a witches or humans. You are immortal, your mind is as vast as the cosmos. And yet... You are becoming something new, someone who feels deep emotions despite their connection with the stars. Witches would describe it as love but you wouldn't learn this for many years.
Philip tries to make his advancements subtle as he doesn't want to overwhelm you. But he comes to the conclusion that he may have to be more direct since you don't seem to understand. You never seem to push him away though and he notices the slight shivers you get when he touches you. He also observed that the longer you stay with him the more he sees you begin to lose your powers. He intends to take you with him to Earth as his forever partner after he betrays your brother. After all you're almost human. His saved fallen angel.
As Philip builds his empire you have to stay in your witch form more often to avoid the suspicion of others. Collector finally seems to notice your losing some of your abilities but only talks about it when you astral project in fear Philip will hear. You promise him it's fine but you both know it's a lie and that's only further proven when you refuse to pinkie swear to him. Collector promises only a little longer and you nod assuring him it'll all be okay.
When the Day of Unity comes you hate it. Hate Philips awful plan and the pain you're causing. Perhaps you've been disguising yourself as a mortal too long or perhaps you knew this wouldn't be a fun game. Empathy and sympathy haunting you as the Day of Unity loomed overhead. But you've become much weaker hiding as a witch all these years and you're willing to do anything for the return of your brother so he can restore your abilities and take you home to the stars. If this is truly what Philip wants this is what you both promised. A star borne never breaks a promise after all.
The Day of Unity comes and you close your eyes and allow Philip to teleport you away after his speech. The covenheads are left to be sacrifices and you hope that they somehow break the spell. You close your eyes thinking about all those innocent people suffering but ignore it. Four hundred years and it'd finally all be worth it.
When Philip goes to free your brother you've never felt such relief. You watch with a wide smile but than he drops your brothers disk and you've never felt such a deep betrayal or hurt. You turn around ready to kill him but then your magic burns you and you remember how you naively swore never to harm Philip. He may have broken his promise but as a star borne you are bound eternally to yours.
When he bends down infront of you, you close your eyes ready to die. After all Philip had done what few could, he tamed a Star borne. You were nothing more than a witch with powerful magic now. And that magic was powerless against him. Without your brother to return your true abilities Philip was stronger. You'd taught him too much. You were no longer immortal and he could now kill you.
"Come with me." Are not the words you were expecting to come out of this man's mouth. Looking up at his outstretched hand you wanted to take it. You wanted to go with him. You wanted to see this Earth he so lovingly spoke about. But you wanted your brother more.
"YOU'RE INSANE! YOU PROMISED!" The tears that flood your eyes are unlike anything you've ever felt. And for a moment you're truly not a star born but just a simple witch. You go to find your brother wanting to run down the cavern to him but Philips hand wraps around your waist trapping you against him.
"(Y/N)." His voice is soft as he speaks into the back of your neck. He looks at you as you turn to stare at him and you feel that weird feeling in your chest again. That flutter. "Come with me. Let's leave this infernal place. Let's start over." He begs.
"I can't my brother!" You state but he just hums.
"was locked away for a reason. You, you've changed. He never will." You shake your head crying and screaming but as Philip pulls you close spinning you to his chest you feel dizzy. Slumping in his arms weakly attempting to struggle he hums shushing you. He'd given you some of the potion you took to talk to your brother when astral projection was especially difficult. A sleeping drug that would knock you out for hours.
Eyes closing the last thing you see is Philip before everything goes black.
"Angel is safe, see? They're right here, just sleeping. Collector I..." You think you hear Philips voice calling out but everything is black and cold. Your head spins and you feel like you're dead. Your body refuses to move feeling too heavy and your eyes remain shut.
"You'll never hurt them again. You'll never take them from me! They're mine! My sibling!" Your brothers voice? Had Philip changed his mind? Had he freed your brother for you? Was it all a horrible prank or joke of sorts? Trying to wake up trying to listen it all fades back to black as you slowly slip back into unconsciousness.
When you wake it's on a mountain of soft pillows and fluffy blankets. Stuffed animals surrounding you and your head spins. Confused you shift in the soft objects only to pause as you hear bells jangling. As tiny hands wrap around you, you blink feeling more awake. Still dazed but coming to, you paused when you felt the familiar sensation. "... brother...?"
"It's me, I'm back! I'm FREE!!!" You start crying in relief and Collectors confused at the tears not understanding them. He touches your face trying to wipe them away and you just smile at him so happy and relieved to see him. Holding him close not ever wanting to let go you begin kissing his face before you pause. Where was Philip, where were you, what happened? "We're safe now. You're safe now." Collector promises as he sees you look around confused. He nuzzles close and you're left with an uneasy feeling as he says that.
"Philip...?" You ask softly only to see Collectors face get a look of pure rage as he bunches his hands in your clothes clinging to you.
"The bad man's gone now. He can't hurt you or me anymore." You go to question what Collector means by that. Question what he's done, but before you can he backs up and pulls on your arm. You feel energy run through you despite your previous tiredness and as he begins to float dragging you by your sleeve you chase after him. Your brother could be scary at times and you weren't back to full power yet but soon you would be. Enjoying the chase he suddenly stops and turns towards you holding out his pinkie. You almost run into him but are able to stop yourself in time. A serious look is on his face as he stares at you.
"Promise you'll never leave me?" He demands putting his pinkie in your face and you wonder how he could ask that. Four hundred years you stayed by his side, four hundred years and you had never left him. Holding out your pinkie he smiles as you link them together. "Good, now let's play!" Pulling at you, you follow him smiling the whole way. Even as a heavy weight filled your chest and a sense of dread set in you pushed those feelings away. Collector was right, you had him and your never leave him. Ever again.
(Little did you know he'd killed the only man you'd ever loved and was looking for Hunter to destroy him. He'd made the Isles his play place and other than keeping you happy in this fun little world he had a goal of hurting everyone who ever hurt you. He always did think you and the Golden Guard were too close and that if Philip remained alive was going to take you away from him. Now you could play forever!!! And maybe if you asked nicely he'd give you some of your powers back)

What about platonic yandere hunter/goldengard so y/n find hunter having a breakdown in the castle halls so they decided to calm him down and take him to his room and hunter becomes very protective and possessive of y/n and starts to see them as a parent or older sibling
Forgot to mention that y/n is older then hunter and sorry if my English is not that good I’m still working on it
Going with older sibling :)
Also your English is amazing A+
~~~
"Hunter? Hunter." You state softly. Taking off his mask you push your hands through his messy hair gently moving it to the side to looks for any wounds he could've gotten under the mask. His magenta eyes flicker up to stare at you as you call his name. Their wide in panic and you had to keep your hands from shaking. He needed you to be the adult right now. "Deep breaths Hunter. Deep breaths." You state seeing how much he was shaking. He nods but gasps with each breath he takes, a little strained whistle escaping his gap teeth. Staring at him not sure what to do you look around the hallways before swallowing.
Pulling him into a tight hug the Golden Guard begins sobbing against you as you just hold him in your arms. You close your eyes and begin to softly hum that song you know he likes. Shifting your cloak so it's around him picking him up, you slowly start walking him to his room when he didn't object. He clings to you tightly and you move quickly, he needed to be someplace private and someplace quiet.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I failed I failed..." He repeats over and over but you just shake your head softly as you keep him close. He's lighter than you thought you think as you carefully adjust him. He hadn't failed, you were ambushed and what happened wasn't anyone fault. The Emperor would be angry but you were older and wiser and had been in the coven longer, you'd report what happened and take the blame for the team. Hunter may have been higher ranked but you were older and second lead. This was no one's fault but the Emperor needed someone to blame.
"You didn't fail Hunter. You don't need to be sorry." You keep repeating slowly before you finally make it to his room. You help him remove his armor until he's just in his clothes underneath and you stay with him until he passes out on his bed. Pulling up his blanket you close your eyes hand rubbing his back in soothing circles to help him stay calm.
Emperor Belos would not be pleased...
~~~
Your double shift had just ended for the day. You'd been getting more and more of those as of late and you had a feeling it was the Emperor's way of punishing you. He hadn't killed you so at least there was that.
Walking down the hall you stretch. It was a long shift and it left your body sore and mind tired. Heading back to your room to get some well deserved rest you stop when you see some of your friends on shift. Ones you hadn't been able to catch up with for awhile.
"Hey." You greet tiredly as you lean against a wall to stop and talk to them. Your mask hung from your belt and they removed their own masks to stop and chat with you. As Steve hands you a rations bar you smile and begin eating it greatful. You had missed lunch and were starving. Beginning to laugh as Steve said a joke they all suddenly passed dead silent. As they stiffen and straighten some reaching for their masks you feel a hand grip your wrist.
"What are you doing out of formation?" A familiar voice questions and turning you see Hunter. You smile at him and tuck the ration bar away for later.
"Oh Golden Guard." You greet knowing how he hated anyone calling him his real name when it came to the field. "These are my friends. I was just saying goodnight." You explain quickly. You hadn't seen Hunter since his episode but you'd kept your word and stayed silent about it. You doubt even Belos knew what happened that day. Simply taking your word and leaving it at that since you were loyal and had never lied to him before.
"You have a mission with me. They need to get back in uniform and go back to work before I report them for treason." He states harshly making you blink in surprise.
"Woah Hunter thats-" You start but he turns sharply. His mask is angled at you and for once you feel scared of the man behind the mask. Something that had never happened before.
"It's Golden Guard." He retorts harshly and you nod feeling guilty at saying his real name. But still you were exhausted, you needed to rest. You were in no condition to do another mission and your friends clearly agreed.
"Respectfully Golden Guard Sir.(Y/N) just pulled a double shift you can't make them do another mission they need to get some-" One tried to plea your case as you were incapable of saying no to Hunter but he cuts them off.
"Talking back is insubordination. I suggest you stick to your lane soldier. (Y/N) and I are higher ranked than any of you and one wrong word to Emperor Belos could stain your reputation permanently." He threatens as his grip on your hand increases. You hiss and he pauses but remains firm.
"Hunter enough." You scold trying to make him stop but he simply tugs at your arm pulling you along. As you stumble down the hallway his grip never loosening you look back at your friends. They look away placing their masks back on before going on with their shifts. Steve giving you an apologetic shrug before you turn a corner and loose sight of them.
"Hunter?" You question but he remains silent. "Hunter." Stating his name instead of asking it he glances back at you, golden mask emotionless.
"The Emperor wants you on another mission. If you come with me you can rest on the air float while I drive. Otherwise you might get assigned somewhere where you could get hurt." He admits quietly and you hum rubbing at your eyes.
"Thankyou but you know treating my friends that way wasn't kind. You could have just told me." You hum and he simply swallows before looking away.
"I'm looking out for you." Is all he states and you nod letting yourself get dragged along. You notice the way his grip tightened when you said friends but you let it be. Hunter was just protective right? There was nothing to worry about...
Right?

Can I request a platonic Yandere collector with a reader who gets hurt by trying to protect him? Reader dosen't know their abilities or that he literally has the powers of a god XD (it's ok if you don't want to btw) Thanks! I love your writing 💗 Keep going!
"YOU NEVER PLAYED NICE!" Groaning in pain as your ears rang, a little voice bounced around your head. Was that... was that the Collector? Kings friend? Who was he yelling at? Why was he yelling? What was going on?
Blinking dust and ash out of your eyes, your hand touched your chest only to come back wet with blood. Breathing raggedly as adrenaline began to course through your system heightening your senses, you can only taste smoke and iron. There was still dirt in your eyes and you could barley see. Straining to remember what happened you can't recall where you are or how you got here. Belos... Belos attacked you didn't he? He attacked the kids. The kids!
Groaning in pain your hand shifted from your chest to your head. Bunching hair in your hand as you grabbed at your head, it was on fire. Leaning up you let out a muffled whimper of pain, body almost going into shock. You couldn't tell if anything was broken but it all hurt. Everything hurt...
"(Y/N)? (Y/N)!" As everything fades to black, the blood loss too much for you to handle alone, you feel tiny hands on you before you're wrapped in a tight hug.
...
The kids!
Jolting upright in bed you began shaking as flashes filled your brain. Looking every direction your breathing quickened. Where are the kids? What happened to them? Belos attacked you, he was going to attack all the children! You got in the way, you wouldn't let him. Blood and pain and dirt and smoke and screaming and and and you passed out. Reaching for your forehead, for your chest panicked, you paused.
There was no pain...
Blinking confused trying to gain your bearings, you looked around the room you'd woken up in. It wasn't anywhere you were familiar with. How long had you been out? How badly had you and the others been hurt? Why were you okay?
Leaning against the headboard as your head spun, you took deep breaths taking in your surroundings. The bed you were in was huge and very cushy, filled with plush star shaped pillows and soft space themed blankets. A light blue silky canopy hung around you with little lights that seemed to get brighter the longer you were awake. Skimming your hand over a blanket you noticed an ornate desk with a glass of milk and plate of cookies on top next to you. The flooring was carpeted a light purple and the curtains were the same. Staring out the window it was black outside, stars and moon shining bright. Where... Where were you?
Swinging your legs over the bed you were a bit sluggish but otherwise felt okay. Your Soft pajamas covered your body and while you felt no pain you could see some bandages peaking out from under your long sleeves and pants.
"(Y/N) You're awake!" Turning at his voice you smile seeing King. He was in strange clothes similar to yours and didn't look like his usual self but it was definitely him.
"King you're okay!!!" Opening your arms he jumps up on the bed before settling in your lap. Hugging him tightly to your chest you begin kissing his skull and nuzzling him. Tears prick your eyes as you push back his pajama hood and squeeze him tight, trying not to cry. "King where is everyone? What happened? Is Belos gone, did we win?" You question before looking around the room confused. While you were happy he was safe where was everyone else? Were they safe...?
"Uhhhh... Belos won't be a problem anymore but..." King swallows and looks away from you, gripping your clothing tight. Hearing a little giggle come from the doorway King stiffened in your grip before cuddling closer. Confused but not wanting him to feel alone you give him a tight squeeze before looking towards the door.
"You're finally up silly!" Tilting your head you recognize this as the kid you jumped in front of. I mean you jumped Infront of all the kids because you promised Eda you'd protect and take care of them while she was with the Covenheads but this was King's friend wasn't it? The being mentioned in Philips journal... The Collector. "I got you all cleaned up just like King asked! Not that he had too I mean your the cooliest, I couldn't let you stay in that sorry state if we were going to play again! I can't believe you jumped in like that to protect me and King! You're the best ever!!! I mean I didn't need it but you didn't even hesitate, you're a really good friend!" As the child got closer you looked at your hands and realized the cuts and scratches were gone. You once again noticed the pain had also disappeared. While the bandages wrapped around your arms and legs looked fresh you couldn't feel any blood or soreness, did you need them? Did Collector do this...? Did he heal you? How?
"Ummmm... Collector right?" You question softly. He hums and you nod watching as he floats closer.
"Yep! But you can call me Little Brother!" He states before plopping onto the edge of your bed and crossing his feet.
"Ummmm..." Glancing at King, the titan shakes his head so you remain silent.
"You call King Brother don't you? Well me and King are besties! So now you're my older sibling too!" Looking at King confused he just nods fearfully. Nodding back you hum observing the Collector as you pet Kings furr to keep him calm. "Oh we're going to have the bestest time now that you're awake!"
Swallowing you nod. You're not sure...

Like odelia the collector makes the reader play family with them as an older sibling. The reader before all this had been belo's assistant/prodigy that he had been a platonic yandere for. How would it go for reader when they are helping odelia moving the collector's collection when belos possesses raine
This is from the new episode and contains some pretty big spoilers. I will be tagging as Owlhouse spoilers for a month after that I will be removing the spoiler warning.
...
Holding your clipboard close, you mark off jobs that you'd finished as you walked through the castle. While Collector told you that you didn't need to really work since you were his friend/family and not an assistant like you'd been with Belos you liked having things to do. It kept your mind busy.
"MamaDalia! MamaDalia! Sibling (Y/N)! Sibling (Y/N)!" Looking up from what you were doing you smiled as the Collector came back with King. Flying through the window and sending the silky purple curtains in every direction his star hovered over the marbel floor.
Rushing forward to meet them putting your clipboard off to the side, you noticed Terra wasn't with them. Confused at where she'd gone Collector jumped off the star and into your arms while King grabbed the edge and slowly lowered himself to the floor. Collector seeing King was on the ground snapped his fingers making glitter explode everywhere as the star burst, his magic making it disappear.
About to ask your brother where your old teacher was a shrill voice caught your attention. "Welcome back." Odalia stated before she bowed to the Collector. You shook your head not understanding why Collector kept her around but stayed quiet simply smiling at the star child in your arms.
"Oh you would've had so much fun! You should've come with us!" Collector cheered as he bounced in your hold. "But gosh Terra was so mean!" He complains. "You're way better than her!" Adjusting him as his tiny fists clutch the fabric of your star themed shirt so you'd both be more comfortable, one arm kept him supported while the other ruffled his fluffy white hair. While you didn't love the idea of the last of your mentors being turned into a puppet you knew there was nothing you could do now and just continued messing with his hair.
He giggled at the touch leaning into it and you held back tears at the realization of what happened without you to supervise the Collector and familiarity of this situation. Remembering how Belos and the other covenheads used to ruffle your hair before...
Closing your eyes and taking a deep breath you open them only to see Collectors watching you, his face unnaturally close to yours as he tilts his head.
"Next time, promise." You state before holding out your pinkie. Belos was gone, he was a liar who hurt your friends and deserved what he got. Besides Collector was a much better boss and a way better friend. While he did things that upset you and sometimes even scared you, he was young and he was learning.
Collectors giggles become louder as you interlock your pinkies. Nodding at him shaking the pinkies you seal the promise.
While you loved a majority of Collectors games, like comet Chasing and star riding and dress up and tea time, you had a hard time seeing all those puppetified people. Especially when so many of them were people you knew and loved. So you'd asked Collector to stay back while he went out with King. Shifting uncomfortably you looked around the grand hall, you couldn't avoid it forever. And because of your promise you'd have to go out with them next time they went out playing. It was because of your selfishness Terra got puppeted, the last of the covenheads now just a toy for the Collector to play with.
"You went quiet!" Looking down at Collector he tilted his head at you confused. King also stood at your feet tugging at your frilly star pants clearly trying to get your attention.
"Oh?" You question, blinking owlishly at the two of them. Collector giggled before lightly booping your nose. While you knew he'd never hurt you the action still made you go stiff as Beloses form dripping down the wall was forever seered into your mind.
"You need to listen better, you're always telling me to listen and yet you're always spacing out. Maybe you're the star child." He teases as he throws his arms out causing sparkles and stars to fly in every direction. As he bursts into another one of his giggle fits you chuckle in response trying to loosen up. Maybe things weren't perfect here but they weren't bad either. As much as you missed your friends you were happy they were safe in the human realm.
"Maybe I am." Tickling Collector in response to his sass he begins squirming and kicking in your arms as you continue to play. King wehs softly and you pick the both of them up holding one of them under each arm. Spinning with them safely in your hold despite the look Odalia gives you, you laugh with them.
"This is fun!" Collector states with a smile before he hums as you stop. Humming back in response with a smile he slips out of your grip and hangs upside down staying eye level with you. Shifting so you're now holding King with both arms he nuzzles into your hold. "King says he needs to check on the Owlbeast, can you and MamaDalia put our friends back in the Collection room? Then we can play more after!" He cheers before clapping.
Hearing a loud thud and a screech you turn only to see Odalia get covered in puppets. Holding back laughter you let out a snort before covering your mouth. She glares at you as you shrug innocently as King laughs a bit.
"Of Course Collector. See you soon." You state before giving King a forehead kiss goodbye and putting him down. Collector waves and snapping they're both gone.
...
"No put that one over there! No no no over there! Making a deal with that brat was such a waste of time." Odalia states stamping her foot as she looks away from Raine and groans into her hands. Speed walking down the hall towards her and the puppets you'd left her with your seething. You'd stepped away for one second, one second to check on Eda and King whole Collector was napping and she pulls this while your gone???
Turning towards her glare dripping with malice you snap your fingers making Raine pause. As the former covenhead looks at you the other puppet lying in their arms as they wait for orders you want to strangle Odalia. She had one ounce of power and she was already letting it get to her head. Maybe they were puppets now but they were still people inside, people you intended to someday free.
"Odalia!" The woman turns towards you with anger in her expression before she stopped. Out of the two of you, Collector valued you much more and she knew it.
While Odalia had known about the Day of Unity for years and served Belos faithfully you'd been oblivious to his plans despite being his favorite student and friend. She often looked down on you when you worked together and held a deep jealousy of the favoritism Belos held for you. You never knew why she treated you the way she did until Amity and the Twins had told you the truth about the Day of Unity and Beloses plans and made you question everything you knew. She used to have the edge, she used to have control, but now she was at your mercy. After all Collector was your friend and he liked you more.
"Watch your tongue." You warn. "And be careful! You might not care but these puppets used to be my friends. And Collector and I would be very angry if they got even a single scratch on them." Stepping towards Raine you put your hand on top of there's observing the state they were in.
They simply stare off into space not responding to your touch. As much as you begged Collector wouldn't give them back, he wouldn't free them. He saw how they treated you throughout the years from his mirror, and he didn't like it. He didn't like them. While you promised it wasn't as bad as he was told, Beloses lies had crept deep into the young star child's mind. He believed himself to be your savior for making them harmless toys that could never hurt you again. Items that you now controlled and commanded like they'd once done to you. Sighing you swallow before looking to the ground. Asking for Eda and Lilith was pushing it, especially since Collector assumed they were beasts and not witches. Pleading for the covenheads after he had given you so much was asking for trouble.
Feeling a tear drip down your cheek you rubbed it off and turned away from both Raine and Odalia so neither of them could see.
"I just wish someone would see my potential." She whines to you. Feeling a new sense of hatred fill you, wishing Collector would turn her into a puppet you turn sharply rolling your eyes at her attitude only to freeze. "What?" She demands before pausing as a shadow falls over her. Taking a step back your hands tremor as her eyes widen.
"... bel-belos your alive?" Taking another step back hands beginning to shake more violently you can't take your eyes off him as he looks over the two of you. Reaching a claw out to touch you, you flinch tears escaping your eyes as the adrenaline from the situation hits you. Heart rate quickening as tears drip down your face he quickly pulls away and turns his head. Blonde rotting hair falls over his shoulder as his hand hovers in place.
"I need a host." He states, jaw clicking unnaturally as he speaks. His goop drips off him like sludge, falling to the floor with sickening sounds and leaving a slimy trail as bones and rotting flesh become exposed. You're disgusted to see the state he's in and enraged he's still alive. As some of his green goop falls onto Odalia's shoulder she squeaks brushing it off before she stares up at him fearfully, face to face with his drooling sneer. He tilts his head and his bones crack under the sludge as his body shifts. "Oh yes I think you'll prove to be quite useful." He states claws scraping against the floor as he struggles to keep his decaying body upright.
"M-Me?" Odalia questions hand coming to her chest to point at herself as her voice becomes high and she begins stuttering.
"No." Clenching your eyes shut and holding your arms out Infront of you terrified of what he'd do to you now that he was back, now that he's seen you'd switched sides, you feel your hair shift from his goop as he lunges behind you. "YOU!" He screams before attacking Raine and forcing himself inside of them.
"RAINE NO!!!" You beg running forwards towards them to stop it only for Belos to already be done. Goop dripped from Raines mouth and Belos simply hummed rubbing it off with an annoyed look. Hands glowing with magic you glare at him, them, it. "LET GO OF THEM!!!" Seeing Raines body move, hearing the wood creak you flinch ready for an attack only to pause.
"(Y/N) oh how I missed you." Feeling the tears you'd been holding back fall freely they hum tilting their head. Craddling your cheek with Raines hand, it's no longer Raine. It's their body, their face, their voice, but Beloses glowing blue eyes stare back at you. Smiling softly as green begins to creep across Raines cheek, their wooden fingers wipe the tears off your face as you start shaking. Before you can pull away Belos is using Raines arms to cage you close. Struggling against him, feeling goop drip out of their puppet body and onto your skin they pull you closer. "... But I can't have you getting in my way."
Feeling their grip on you tighten you begin to panic. You try and scream but some of Beloses goop wraps around your mouth and nose, stopping you from breathing or making any noise. Struggling against them, kicking and clawing trying to get the goop off, Belos uses Raines voice to shush you as he keeps you pinned to their body. As you struggle thrashing around, you find yourself getting more and more tired until the world's fading to black.
"Sweet dreams (Y/N)... when you wake everything will be as it should. I promise." And with that you become limp in Raines arms, Belos now controlling what happens to the both of you.

Hey hi!! Have you seen the new owl house ep? If not, ignore this til you do please, because my ask includes a little spoiler lol
So, can you do a short story of hunter x reader ( preferred nonbinary:) ) where, instead of hunter getting possessed it's the reader? How do you think hunter would handle that??
Sorry if Its not spasific:) I rlly love ur writing!!!!<3
Hunter stared at you in horror as you smiled at him. But that wasn't your smile it was Beloses. Those weren't your eyes. They were Beloses.
"Hello Hunter." And that wasn't your voice. It was Beloses.
He was speaking through you, he was using you. Just like he used him. "what... What did you do to them?" Hunter stuttered in a quiet voice as he held FlapJack close staring at what you'd become. What Belos had done to you.
"I... Made some improvements. Do you like?" Hunter starting shaking staring at what should be you but wasn't you. Your body, your form, but in Beloses twisted image.
His evil curse seeping out of you, corrupting you. Green curling around your arms, legs, chest, and face digging and scarring your skin. Long claws and fangs distorting the features that once brought Hunter comfort. You gentle touch, your soft smile. Gone.
"I... I you..." Hunter starts to whisper beginning to lose himself. His hands come up to his hair and as he pulls at it his eyes are wide with tears. FlapJack transforms and begins to chirp at him but he's not listening too much in shock to respond. As your shadow looms over Hunter, antlers sprout from your head overwhelming him as he falls to his knees unable to breathe.
He begins hyperventilating and they... he... it... you smile softly.
"Awww what's wrong?" You... Belos questions as he gets closer. His steps echoing in Hunters head even as he tries to scoot backwards. "You're being so rude to your friend Hunter."
"You're not my friend! You're not them!" He screeches standing up ready to fight you. Flapjack chirps turning back into a staff and as Hunter points it at you... Belos... He can't do it. He can't hurt you.
"Oh but I am." You, it, him snarl and Hunter feels the tears drip down his cheeks as FlapJack glowed gold. But you were...

may I suggest the collector x reader where he wants to play truth or dare and then he asks for a truth who the reader has a crush on and the reader tries to lie but the collector gets it out eventually.
"Truth or dare?" Collector questions popping up out of nowhere. Rolling your eyes with a smile used to his antics and surprise visits, you supposed you weren't really doing anything else. Sitting criss-cross on your bed with a plate of food on your lap and a glass in your hand you think about his question but your thoughts wander.
Today was a relaxing day in the Emperor's Coven and other than your little shadow friend showing up it had been really quiet. You decided to have lunch in your room and take a day to catch up on paperwork trusting your scouts to go about their schedule without your guidance but it seemed the Collector picked up on your plans and decided to drop by. "Truth or Dare?" He questions again getting closer as he repeats his question getting impatient.
"Hmmmmm..." You remember last time you agreed to say dare and decided to play it safe hoping you could keep damage to a minimum while still appeasing your friend. "Truth." You finally answer, curious on what the little guy will ask you. Groaning he throws his head back and floats away from you.
"Ugh boring... fine!" He states before looking around your room as he scans his mind for what to ask. Taking a bite of your food, letting him think about the question he wants answered you finish your bite. Starting to sip your drink your eyes focus on the shadow boy waiting for him to tell you your question. "Tell me your crush!" He finally blurts out looking really excited at his idea.
You start to choke not expecting him to ask that. Letting out giggles at your reaction he puts his head in his hands and floats around your room kicking his feet as he waits for your answer.
"... my crush?" You ask surprised as your face slowly started to darken. He gets super close and nods making your face flush even brighter. Your eyes dart to your wall focusing on a certain Golden Guard before you quickly look away staring at your food instead.
On your wall theres several pictures. There's lots of you and the covenheads at events, you and your fellow captains at work, the team you were appointed, your first year as scout class, you becoming an official part of the Emperor's Coven, and many more relaxed photos of you and Hunter. Realizing that's the one you had focused on you take another bite of your food trying not to give it away. What if he told Belos? No Collector wouldn't do that, Belos didn't know he even talked to you. But... oh Titan, what if he started messing with you and Hunter?
"Well........" Collector asks and you don't make eye contact as you keep eating.
"Nope don't have one!" You respond much to Collectors annoyance. He spins around before turning and narrowing his eyes at you.
"You're not playing fairrrrrrrrrr!" He whines. Stifling a chuckle you force more food in your face so he has to wait to ask you another question. He watches you curiously before he turns his head. His eyes go to the wall where you'd just been staring. "Oh a guessing game!!!" He states suddenly and your eyes widen.
"Collector no!" You argue swallowing your food quickly to try and stop him but he doesn't listen and just laughs as he begins messing with your photos.
"We're the bestest of friends so it can't be me!" Collector chirps despite the fact he's not even on the photo wall for safety reasons. After all you weren't supposed to know about him.
His finger suddenly taps Emperor Belos, the picture being you rising in rank and him congratulating you for your hard work. His staff pressed against your shoulder as all your coworkers stood around you congratulating you. "Too old, too mean." He states and you suddenly feel the need to defend your boss. Opening your mouth Collector beats you too it, making another comment. "Hmmmm... Raven lady she's also too old. She's pretty though and nice to you." He hums tapping Lilith's face before he moves onto a different picture. "Raine... They're the most fun!" Collector states as he looks at the way you hold your instruments in the photo before shaking his head. "But they're too old. You work with a lot of old people." He teases. Crossing your arms he just chcukled continuing.
"Okay that leaves... EberWolf. No too slobbery. Vitimir? Ugh potion breath. Terra is ancient and also mean." Collector frowns as he squints. "Adrain is mean spirited and not funny or fun. Hettie is scary. Orsan could be your grandpa. Darius is up there on the list but still too old." Taping his finger to his chin as he continues to look at all the photos you sign in relief thinking he's going to give up.
"See I don't-" Before you can finish your statement a shadow silhouette of Hunter is staring at you. The black and white form of Collector mimicking your crush smiles widely at you as you swallow.
"I win the guessing game!!!" Collector states through Hunters shadow form before erupting into a fit of giggles and morphing himself back. "So you and the plant huh?" He questions.
"... The plant?" You ask confused. Did he mean Hunter? Collector suddenly covers his mouth as if he said something he wasn't supposed to. Staring at you he begins to backtrack.
"I mean the Golden boy! The blonde haired brat! The prince! The Emperor's personal Guard! Boy who gets hearts every time you walk by!!!" Collector begins to blurt out other nicknames and descriptions. The more he gives you the more your face brightens.
"Okay. Okay. I get it." You murmur embarrassed. Collector giggles again and you look back at him.
"My turn! Dare!" Looking up at Collector you don't trust that look in his eye as he urges you to go on and tell him your dare. So much for a peaceful day.

I don’t know if you’re taking requests right now or not, but I saw that you write for The Collector. Maybe you could write a platonic thing where the reader has to look after The Collector for a day? If it’s not too much of a bother.
Context: Reader is a demon babysitter and Collector after helping defeat Belos decides to live with his new friends King, Luz, and Eda. He's still a choatic being of mass power but he's learned the limits of witches and knows what it and isn't okay when it comes to his godlike magic.
~~~
The second you greeted Hooty the bird demon let you inside the house with a happy hoot.
"Good to see you (Y/N)!" He chirps. "Edas happy you had today available." Giving him a scratch he gave out a much quieter but still happy hoot. As you walked past him and over the doorframe of the Owlhouse Collector jumped up and into your arms.
"(Y/N)! (Y/N)!" Nuzzling you, you smile adjusting your arms to hold him better. They could float but he liked being carried and you weren't one to deny your favorite cuddly star child. Your hand rubs his back soothingly and he leans against you humming happy as you give him cuddles.
"Thanks again for coming." Eda says with a smile as Luz and King walk in. "King was getting tired and he can be a hand full. Plus we need to get supplies for Luz." Eda explains quickly. Her hand brushed through the Collectors white fluffy hair making the boy giggle as he looked at Eda with a large smile. Collector could be mean spirited at times but like any child all he really wanted was love and all he needed was to be kept entertained and busy. Eda was right, he was a handful but he was also very sweet when he wanted to be.
"Alright Collector don't cause any problems for (Y/N) while we're gone, okay? We're gonna bring you something back from the market for good behavior." Luz promises as she leans in to nuzzle the star child. He giggles and nods.
"A surprise? For me!" He states beginning to bounce in your arms. Luz nods and King wehs jealous.
"No problem Eda. Collectors my favorite to watch huh, because he's so good?" You question making him close his eyes and smile wide. He giggles in response and nods excited.
"I am! I am!" He cheers still bouncing happily in your hold.
"W E H!" King responds indignantly about to run at you and hug you too but Luz scoops him up in her arms before he can. Collector was hard enough to watch, but add King to that mix? That was just begging for trouble. Kissing his forehead he settles in her arms grumbling something quietly. She nods towards you before leaving the Owlhouse with Eda so they could do errands that Collector made almost impossible when he came along. Hooty hoots a goodbye as her and King leave to do their errands.
"So what are we playing?" You ask and the Collector hums putting his finger to his chin as he came up with ideas. Tapping his chin in thought he looks up at you before booping your nose.
"Tag?" He questions staring at you curiously as his finger stays on your nose. When you scruntch your face in thought thinking about your last game of tag he hummed copying your face. Chuckling at the face he makes he puts his cheek against your shoulder. Staring up at you with his twinkling eyes he waited patiently for an answer. You tilt your head as you looked down at him before nodding slowly.
"Okay I'm it." Placing him down he whines for a second missing being held before he realizes you agreed to play! And the game he suggested no less! Looking up at you ready to start the chase you make a tickling motion with your fingers.
"Ahhhhhhh! No you won't catch me!!! You won't catch me!!!" Running away and out the door so he can use his magic outside, you smile before chasing after him laughing.
"I most certainly will!" You respond watching as he creates an obstacle course for you to get through before you can get to him. He smiles laughing as you jumped over roots and dodged the stuffed animals he was throwing.
He certainly was your most entertaining client.

THAT FIC YOU MADE... LIKE... IT MADE ME THIS ABOUT FATHER DARIUSSSS UGH IT WAS SO GOOODDDDD
Request:
I give you father-child bonding time with Darius and Young!Scout Reader
Maybe.... Like... Them talking and Painting each other's nails (I can imagine Darius likes painting his nails) and Darius just talking shit about Alador LMAOO
If your gonna do this request please include alot of head pats pls... HEAD PATS FROM DARIUS <33 (oneshot pls!)
You have the right to decline this request btww!!!
Lmao everybody wants Father Darius. Dadius is gonna be the new tag. I have the personal headcannon that Darius wakes up early for his beauty regime and often tries to go to bed early too getting annoyed if his perfect sleep schedule is disturbed. He needs his beauty rest to look that good smh
~~~
Dariuses hand carefully held yours on one of his many decorative purple pillows, for once not wearing his signature silk gloves. His own fingernails were black and purple and he promised to give you an equally cool look for yours. They were painted intricately and had been modeled after abomination goo. Every time you saw him look at your fingers than the nail polish it made you giggle thinking of how he hid something so dorky underneath his gloves all the time. He shushes you for the hundredth time, hissing playfully about concentration and his artistic process.
"I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything!" You defend yourself as he squeezes your hand to keep it from moving. He hums in annoyance as you smile at him mischeviously. Ignoring your antics far too used to them he dabs cuticle oil on your fingers to numb them. Rubbing it in he hums again observing your freshly trimmed fingernails.
"You clean up nice." He teases and you stick out your tongue. You had a small bad habit of biting your nails and he had gotten it in his head that your personal hygiene affected him personally. So he would lightly smack your hands away if he noticed you trying to chew.
You didn't think it was a big deal but he disagreed. He'd only roped you into the little deal because you'd walked into in his room to deliver a message and saw him painting his nails. He saw you staring at the polish and with an eye roll he promised to do your nails for you. BUT ONLY IF you could get them long enough to paint and stop biting at them.
A torturous week for the both of you.
"Titan I don't know how I haven't killed you." He murmurs lightly tapping your cheek before he puts the oil away. But you see the sly smile and know he's simply teasing.
After riffling through his supplies and looking at each nail polish color meticulously comparing it to your skin tone and style (which had taken him about an hour) he finally settled on your favorite color which you had suggested in the first place. Rolling your eyes at all the time this was taking he tsks you and begins the process.
It was a pretty pattern. Your favorite color was applied carefully, several layers making it sturdy in its coating before he decided it was time for details.
"Woah." You compliment and your mentor beams straightening his shoulders with a proud grin.
"It is nice isn't is?" He demands and you nod as he begins the other hand. "Alador could never, did you know I had to paint his nails to keep him from biting them too? Such a nasty habit this better make you stop." He hums before playfully scuffing your hair with his free hand. "After all we don't need another powerful and sloppy abomination master running around. His kids can bite their nails but mine won't."
"Hey!" You respond laughing at the teasing and hair ruffling. Darius smiles back at you.
"Don't make me mess up, stay still." He responds but he's chuckling himself. As he finishes up you bring your hands to your mouth and blow. He rolls his eyes and you stick your tongue out again before you focus back on your hands. Shaking them out to get the paint to dry Darius looks at the abomination goo pattern he'd done.
Alador could never.

Ask: I had a small idea, Yandere Collector, who finally escaped and killed Belos, but when he turns around and sees Luz and her friends, he also sees his soulmate, the person who he is eternally bound to, and is ecstatic to finally find his 'eternal playmate'.
~~~
Flinching as Belos goes to kill you and your friends you all you pause as you hear a soft clink. It echoes throughout the cave and then there's silence. Unnerving silence.
... Are you dead?
"Darius?" You question hopefully, thinking maybe it's his scythe and he'd come in to save you. That he'd gotten away from the Draining Spell but as you open your eyes you're confused to see a small child holding Beloses weapon. They smile at you and don't seem at all strained as they hold the edge of the blade between their fingertips.
"Whatcha playing?" The child questions curiously as he stares at all of you. Partially hidden by your friends as Willow and Gus had pushed you behind them when Belos attacked, you start shaking unsure of how to react to this situation. This multi colored child smiled innocently, the bells on his slippers jangling as he shifted slightly to stand on his tip toes to try and see you and the others better. Ducking as he scared you he hummed focusing on everyone else instead. You were all pretty badly hurt, blood, cuts, scrapes, and bruises covering your body after the fight with the guards and then Belos. Hugging deeply processing what just happened you peak from behind Willow.
Hunter was holding on, sick from his insignia as his magic was slowly being drained out of him. But you were all alive. All thanks to this... Sun and Moon kid?
His yellow eyes focus on you for a moment having caught the way you ducked and then peaked out again but thankfully Belos draws his attention away from you. You weren't sure why you were relieved but from the reactions of all your friends just staring at the small child you felt your fear was validated.
"Collector..." Philip murmurs as he begins to step back. Collector turns slowly tilting his head as he stares at Belos. "You're free... just as promised." He tries to lie through his teeth but Collector narrows his eyes as he frowns.
"As promised? I remember someone throwing me off a bridge." He hums before a hand goes to tap at his chin. "I'm not angry though!" He states cheerily. "Say you wanna play tag?" Circling his hand Philip was pulled incredibly close to the Collector, both beings now nose to nose. He smiled at him with a mischievous grin before malice flashed in his eyes. "I'm it." Tapping Beloses head the creature he'd become goes flying before it splatters against the cave wall.
You stare in shock hand covering your mouth to keep from screaming as you watched his dripping corpse. Everyone is in shock processing what just happened before you all focus on the Collector who simply giggles at his little "game".
"Too slow." He chirps before turning around to look at all of you. "You guys look slow too, do you need a head start?" He questions holding out his finger as he slowly walks towards all of you. Squeezing Willows shoulders worried the girls eyes glow green. As she shifts her arm to move to attack Collector stops walking, his hands dropping to his side as he once again focuses his eyes on you.
"(Y/N)...?" He questions squinting. Not knowing why or how he knows your name your eyes widen as everyone turns to look at you. "It is you! It is you!" Flinging his hand Willow, Gus, and Hunter are thrown aside as he runs at you. Reaching for them worried before holding out your arms in defense you grunt as they're pinned down to your sides. Opening your eyes confused on why your not feeling any pain or why your not dead yet the Collector kid was hugging you tightly. "I missed you, I missed you!!!" He states happily before pulling away. Holding your hands in his, he smiles swinging them around. "Well aren't you gonna say something to your soulmate?" He demands when you don't immediatley respond to his affection.
"... I... my what?" You squeak out confused as you look to the others for help. Willow and Gus were still on the ground but they were okay. Hunter was leaning against both of them getting sicker from the Draining Spell as Amity and Luz just stared, everyone not sure what to do next.
"Hey why are you paying attention to them? Look at me!" He demands and you do, afraid of what this Collector guy might do if you don't listen. "Better!" He chirps before he jumps up to nuzzle his face against yours. You notice he's floating and aren't sure how to react as your mind races to process all of this.
"I... I don't understand. Your... your soulmate? Who are you?" You finally choke out trying to get some answers. Collector hums floating backwards a bit before he taps his head inquisitively.
"Oh you lost your memory huh? That's okay I can fix that! But let's fix you first!" Snapping his fingers you watch in awe as all your injuries disappear. Relief floods your body as the pain goes away and after your healed your clothes change to match his. You now wore an outfit with carefully embroidered suns and moons, large loopy sleeves, and slippers and a night cap to match him. He smiles clapping his hands as you look at yourself confused wondering how he did that. "Now you look the part! Memories should come later but Uhhhhh... short version of the really long boring story? Basically I'm your eternal playmate!!! Starbornes like you and me we have someone who's meant to be ours forever! We'll play games, have fun, and never ever ever leave each other! We'll be the bestest friends!" He proclaims loudly as he jumps higher into the air, floating above your head. You watch this action still processing everything before swallowing nervously.
"I'm not a..." You start confused but Collector shakes his head silencing you. He swoops down and grabs your hand before going back to float higher again. He clearly wants you to come with him.
"No but you will be!" He chirps making you stiffen. "Why so scared? Aren't you happy to see me? I am to see you! It's been so l o n g. I've waited an eternity for you!!!" Yanking you upwards you cry out as you begin floating with him. You feel weightless and Collector smiles as he circles you clearly proud of his magic. "Oh we'll have so much fun you and I!" As he goes to pull you away from everyone you pause trying to dig your feet into... air? You're not sure how to stop him from dragging you away but you need to think fast.
"I need you to do something for me first. We're soulmates right?" You question and stopping he looks at you with wide confused eyes before he nods a giant smile on his face.
"Of course! What do you want, I can make it happen! Anything! Everything! Pinkie swear!!!" He promises holding out his pinkie. Looking towards Hunter and seeing the golden lines get deeper you turn towards the hole in the cave showing the Draining Spell. "That! You helped Belos with that right? The Day of Unity? I need you to stop it! Stop it now! I'm begging you." You state pointing at the damage being done. You could see the magic being drained away from everyone pulled towards the moon and from how it was affecting Hunter who didn't even have magic, it must be killing everyone else.
Collector hums thinking it over before he glances at you. "Then we can play?" He questions tilting his head. You nod frantically and his smile widens.
"Alright!" Taking your hand and helping you back to the ground you stumble but make it, your weight coming back as you step forwards to watch the spell. He stares at the black moon and the Draining Spell before he puts his fingers to his eyes like binoculars. You watch his pupils expand and he moves his head back and forth observing the effects of the spell.
"Can you help?" You plead gripping his arm tightly.
"Hmmmm..." Humming he nods before turning towards you. "Pinkie swear to me that after I help you, you'll never leave me?" He questions holding his pinkie out.
"Collector please. You have to stop it now. We can talk after." You demand but he shakes his head.
"Pinkie swear." He responds with a soft smile holding out his pinkie. Looking at his pinkie than the Draining Spell you start to shake. Hearing Hunter groan in the background as a painful wave hits him you close your eyes.
"(Y/N) don't-" Luz warns but you're desperate.
"Okay okay!" Linking your pinkie to Collectors you feel tears drip down your face as a surge of magic passes through you. Like a witch's eternal vow. "I pinkie swear Collector! I pinkie swear I'll never leave you!" You state.
"Good!" He chirps. "Okay let's get this party started!" Clapping and rubbing his hands together he nods at the moon. Placing his finger over the moon he flicks his wrist moving it.
"... What...?" Watching in relief as the spell stops your body suddenly goes stiff as you realize with dawning horror you're now bound to this powerful being forever. A being who just moved a celestial body like it was nothing...
"Okay done! Time to play! Time to play!" He cheers pulling on you. As you feel yourself once again becoming weightless you scramble to touch the ground. "I bet the more we play, the more you remember! So we need to play so many different games!!! What games do you like? I love tag! I bet you do too! After all were soulmates we must have so much in common!" He hums before he starts to drag you off.
"Wait. Wait!" You beg. Your friends were still injured and you don't know where he was taking you! Your family, your friends, all those injured people! You couldn't just leave them. You needed to make sure they were okay, you needed to make sure everyone survived.
"(Y/N) No!" Grabbing your hand you stare at Luz terrified. Tears begin to drip down your face as you hold her hand. Collector frowns clearly displeased.
"You promised! You promised! You promised!" He states stomping his foot as he yanks on your hand harder.
"Collector please I will play with you! Forever and ever but my friends! My family! I need to make sure they're okay, I need-" You beg but he starts throwing a tantrum and you feel your friends losing their grip as they struggle to hold on.
"(Y/N)!" Amity calls out nails digging into your arm.
"No no no no no! That wasn't the deal! You don't need them! You have me!" As Luz holds onto your hand Amity does the same. Then Gus and Willow. And eventually Hunter.
"(Y/N) Hold on, there has to be another way!" Willow begs.
"We got you. Don't let go!" Gus adds ready to throw a spell at the Collector.
"Collector!" You beg but he doesn't listen. As your hand slips from your friends you feel yourself being lifted higher.
"(Y/N) Please-" Hunter begs you but Collectors is stronger than all of you.
"I did what you asked, now it's your turn!" Giggling Collector holds your hand tightly before giving one more pull finally dragging you away. As you float higher your friends get smaller and smaller and the Day of Unity arena gets farther and farther. You feel tears leave your eyes when you can't hear them anymore.
You did promise...

I was wondering if you could do a hurt sibling x hunter I feel like he would be really worried/protective of them 🥺❤️
You were adopted by the Emperor's Coven. Taken in by Belos as a form of publicity but also as an example. Your family came from a long line of powerful witches, witches who refused to succumb to his rule. Having you under his thumb after their fall gave him not only a powerful weapon but an edge. After all you were a very clear warning of what could happen to any other witches who may try to defy him. He may not be as nice with other people's children.
So you and Hunter grew up together. As Royal Siblings, raised by your uncle. He could've peterfied you like your parents. Killed you like so many assumed he would but he showed a rare sign of mercy. Of kindness. After all how could he deny Hunter a possible friend? Plus you kept the brat away from him and distracted so it left him satisfied.
But now you were hurt. Badly.
Belos didn't really care for you. Hunter in a sense. But you? No. Not really. However, Hunter did. He loved you more than anything. You grew up together. You were his sibling. And if he lost you he'd never be the same.
"Terra! Terra get the head of the healing coven! Quickly!" He demands as he drags you through the castle doors. They bang against the walls as he runs through them and scouts quickly crowd around the young prince and you too see what's wrong and do what they can to help. The woman who was at the door casting spell circles over her plants does as asked, leaving her gardening to get Belos and the other coven heads. Acid rain was pouring outside and you both had been partially burned but that wasn't the problem.
A mission had gone terribly wrong and now Hunter held you as best he could in his arms. His breathing was shallow and he was struggling to hold you up after the long trek back to the castle. You'd taken a hit meant for him and now here you were trying to stay conscious and biting your tongue to keep from crying out in pain.
A scout reached out for you to take you but Hunters grip was tight and he refused to let go. He had lost in mask in the scuffle and glared at anyone who came near as none of them were medics and he was clearly prepared to use his staff if they tried to seperate you both.
"... It's okay... it's okay..." He whispers as they all watch unsure of what to do. You just moan softly in response, pain coursing through your body as you lean your full weight against your brother. His hands carefully touch your face before they go to the main wound trying to block the blood. He would be dead. He would be dead. He would be dead. This should be him. This should be him. This should be him.
Shaking Hunter slowly tried to move you as he held you close pulling you with him. He began humming a song you liked softly as he dragged you deeper into the castle waiting for the potions and healing coven heads to come. Blood dripped onto the floor and he closed his eyes trying not to look at it.
"Hunter what happened?" Darius demands at the comotion but stops as he sees you in Hunters arms. You were barley conscious, originally able to limp along the forest floor with Hunter now you were holding on by a thread as Hunter continued to hum, the humming getting more aggressive to try and keep you awake. The other guards looked terrified of him and as Darius rushed forwards to help Hunter cried out as your vision began to blur and you went limp in his arms.
"Do SOMETHING!" He demands as he crumples to the floor with you in his arms.
~~~
Groaning as you wake up you can feel the bandages before anything else.
"... What... what happened?" You question through a throat that feels like it's full of sandpaper. Opening your eyes slowly, you groan and look away from the light before you squint your eyes adjusting to the bright room and focusing on your surroundings. Your ribs hurt and with every breath you took your vision blurred for a second. Biting your tongue fighting through the pain, a sign on the door informed you that you were in the castles infirmary. A private room where you often got checkups with Hunter when you were little.
Panic filled you as you thought of Hunter. Where was he? Was he okay? Struggling a bit to try and get up your too sore and numb to fully move.
Using all your strength to move your head relief flooded you once you saw him. Hunters face was squished against his arms his blonde hair tilted to one side and as your eyes scanned him you saw he was okay. He had a few bandages from what you think was acid rain if you remember what happened before blacking out correctly but his face otherwise had no new scars. He was wearing his uniform with his mask in his lap. The boy was leaning against the bed softly snoring making little whistling sounds with his cute Gap teeth.
Smiling softly you shift before pausing as pain shot through your body. Right he was relatively unhurt because you took the major hit.
"You're awake." A voice chirps and looking away from Hunter with some strain it's one of the healing coven members, their dark blue sleeves being a dead give away to what coven they resided in.
"How long...?" You whisper throat still sore as you struggle to speak. They come closer and smile at you casting a circle over your chest before they place a damp rag on your forehead. The rag relieves pressure in your head and your ribs feel better as it becomes easier to breathe.
"A few days." They start as they begin to assess you carefully. They adjust the pillow behind your head and you hum falling back into the soft covers. "It was touch and go for awhile there, but everything is fine now." They chirp and you nod before groaning as a wave of pain goes through your body like fire. You needed to stop moving. Seeing your discomfort they cast another circle covering you in blue light for a moment. "He waited for you, the prince. Hasn't moved from that spot since we started healing you. We had to put a sleep spell on him so he wouldn't hurt himself or you in his panic. His quick thinking saved you. You have a very loyal brother." They inform you and you smile before looking to your brother.
"Believe me. I know." You respond. Hand slowly and carefully going to his hair you gently ruffle it like how he likes. "Thank you." You state softly and the coven head nods before leaving. Your still a little sore in some areas and in a bit of pain but you'll let them go rest before you request anything. They've likley had a long couple of days. No doubt Hunter had too.
"... Your awake?" He murmurs leaning into your touch and you make a noise still getting used to speaking. Hunter nods sleepily and as your hand stops moving through his hair he reaches out and takes it in his own. His fingers intertwine with his and as he presses his cheek into the sheets his other hand trace's shapes against your palm. Flapjack moves from out of the boys cape and settles on your chest softly chirping. "They said you might not wake up."

You were up and around now and had finally started working again after some time off to heal. Once you'd awoken the healing coven admitted that things had become much easier when it came to your health and overall care. Well most things. Hunter hovered since the incident. And he hovered a lot.
At first you didn't mind him sitting next to you on check ups and helping you get items or do things he thought you shouldn't. Reminding you to take your meds and insisting he re-bandage anything that needed to be changed. But a week or two in of his hovering and you had to remind yourself to be patient and calm. The healing coven members said you were healed now but still life had it's challenges and you should take it slow. You weren't back on full duty like your brother was but you still did your part.
The doctors said slow not nonexistent. You loved Hunter but just like your uncle he could be overbearing and right now was one of those times.
"Do you need water? Food? Medicine? Can I get something for you? You should go back to bed of your tired, we can try again tomorrow." He states as he looks you up and down for any problems.
"Hunter..." You hum and he has your hands in his as he stares at you, waiting for what you needed.
"Yes what is it?" He demands and you take a deep breath with a soft smile.
"I yawned." You say softly and behind his mask you have a feeling his entire face was red as he pulled away and crossed his arms. Chuckling you wrap your arm around him and bring him close, your face tapping against his mask. "Hunter?" You question and he hums still grouchy at you. "I'm okay." You promise and as you squeeze him close he lets out a deep breath his shoulders sagging.
"I know." He responds softly and you smile before putting your head on his shoulder. As he hugs back, you close your eyes taking this moment in. You were okay. And thankfully so was Hunter.
