beautiful things.
a cat closing their eyes slowly at you in a kind gesture of recognition.
noticing a flower while walking and seeing it as the most important, special thing.
finding old straw paper in between pages of an old book of your grandfather's.
the scent of paper filling the air around you as your flip through the pages of your book - as if to gently cheer you on during your studies.
singing to yourself as your voice echoes in the halls.
8 p.m. breeze.

My perfect library 🥰
In the heart of a mystical forest, hidden beneath ancient oak trees, there stood a curious library belonging to a wise and enigmatic witch named Seraphina.
The shelves, lined with spellbound books, whispered secrets of forgotten realms.
Only those with pure intentions could unlock the knowledge within, as the library itself chose its visitors.
Brave souls sought the wisdom of Seraphina, navigating the enchanted aisles where books fluttered their pages like ethereal butterflies, revealing the magic that lay dormant in the written word.
Each visit left imprints of enchantment on the seekers, binding them to the mystical tapestry woven by the witch's vast repository of magical lore.

Adam Warlock x OC
Part 3
Word Count: 2.046
Warnings: Adam being cute, fluff, angst, jealous Adam, slightly possessive Adam
Tumblr media
POV Adam
The next day I woke up overjoyed and a sincere smile crept onto my lips immediately, when I thought about the kiss with Seraphina. I found that her lips matched mine perfectly and ran a finger over my lips, which began to tingle slightly at the thought.
I would never forget that feeling again.
Quickly I made my way to her spaceship so I could pick her up. I almost sprinted in it's direction while a few residents watched me with interest.
"Morning Adam! What got you into such a good mood today?", Peter asked me, who was leaning against one of the many buildings and was now coming towards me. I stopped almost abruptly and looked at Peter who was now standing next to me and looked at me questioningly.
"What do you mean? I'm just like every other day", I said thoughtfully and tried to calculate how Peter came up with this idea. Like every morning, I made my way to Seraphina, which was no longer news.
"Well yes, but you got that kinda pep in your way of walking y'know? Anything I should know about?", he explained his observation, which I still didn't quite understood, and now walked alongside me as I continued to head for Seraphina's ship. "Oh yes. Please refrain yourself from touching Seraphina all the time. She is now mine", I said to Peter, wanting to do Seraphina a favor.
If I told him about it now, then she no longer needed to deal with this task.
Undeterred, I walked on and didn't even notice that Peter had stopped dead in his tracks until I heard him loudly behind me, "wait ... WHAT?" I turned to him and saw his almost stunned expression.
"I said, please refrain...", I was interrupted again while repeating my sentence as before by Seraphina and I frowned.
Why exactly was I always interrupted when I wanted to repeat my sentence when they asked for it?
"I did hear you Adam. I mean how the hell did that happen?", Peter said immediately and sprinted to my side with a now interested expression and a big grin on his face. "I told her how I felt and she said that she also liked me", I explained slightly confused, not knowing exactly what Peter wanted from me now.
"I knew it!", Peter whispered to himself but I heard him anyway and yet again he confused me with his words. "What did you know?" I asked and hoped that I would get a sufficiently explanatory answer so that I could put the puzzle pieces together.
"Oh nothing... I have to go now, gotta do some work", Peter quickly waved me off and marched on in a different direction.
So, still confused, I stood in place until I just dropped this whole conversation as I wasn't going to figure it out anyway.
x
Seraphina's spaceship slowly entered my field of vision and a wave of nervousness washed over me at once. However, I couldn't describe exactly why I was suddenly so nervous and the butterflies in my stomach didn't really help with the solution.
I reached her ramp and peered curiously inside the ship. Usually she was either already outside or near the ramp which is why I hadn't actually seen her ship from the inside until now. Here and there I was able to catch a quick glimpse, but that I got a good look at her ship from the inside could not be said to be true.
So I stood uncertainly in front of the ramp and wondered if I should just wait here for her or maybe call for her? My curiosity finally took the lead and with light steps I walked slowly over the ramp into the interior of the ship.
It was quite a large ship, similar to Peter's, but rather lightly decorated with lots of whites and blues. Astonished, I looked around and entered the control area, which had a particularly large number of holographic panels.
Tumblr media
Almost admiringly, I approached the large viewing window through which I could see space and lingered there for a moment. While my mother's spaceship was in our shades of gold, I found this ship stunningly beautiful as well and thought it suited Seraphina very well.
I was pulled out of my thoughts by an unknown voice and now turned to the corridor from which it came. I frowned and wondered who exactly besides Seraphina could be on the ship, after all it was hers and she had come to Knowhere alone.
Had she perhaps been visited by one of the Guardians?
After all, she was responsible for repairing some electrical equipment and often exchanged ideas with Rocket about it.
So while I continued to follow the sound of the voice, I still tried to absorb every detail of the ship and found that I had never seen a ship like hers. Most spaceships didn't have many windows, and yet hers had particularly many, despite being kept so bright. I really hoped that she would invite me into her ship and show me the many rooms.
Since she also returned here every day, didn't that mean that she also had her room here? A pleasant tingling went through my body at the thought of finding her room and spending time with her there.
Just the two of us.
Eventually I came to a large room that seemed to have some sort of hologram displayed in the middle.
Tumblr media
In front of the hologram was an unknown man with his back to me. I eyed him disapprovingly from my vantage point, wondering who exactly this man was. His blond hair closely resembled my hairstyle with some more curls and he seemed to have my height as far as I could tell. His muscles could be seen through his spacesuit and I wondered if I looked just like him.
Until now, that had never bothered me but while I continued to watch the man an uneasy feeling spread through me.
Now why was this man on Seraphina's ship? After all, she had never spoken of another person.
Finally, Seraphina also stepped into my field of vision with her back to me and looked at the hologram as well. However, since I couldn't figure out what exactly I was looking at, I could only watch silently and didn't know exactly whether I should make myself known or not.
"Okay hear me out. I think I got it now," the strange man suddenly spoke up and Seraphina turned to him with one of her beautiful smiles. She had crossed her arms and seemed to have raised an eyebrow playfully. She had shifted her weight to her right leg and continued to look at the man expectantly, "you think so?"
The man snapped his fingers once and then pointed at Seraphina, "I think the mistake is in line 4." Waiting, he kept looking at Seraphina and suddenly she started laughing and shaking her head.
"Wrong again! How can you not see this!", she continued to laugh while the blond man looked at the blue hologram again and sighed, "how CAN YOU see this? It's... like impossible, I just don't get it."
"It's not, you're just looking at it the wrong way", she continued, rolling her eyes. When she turned away she finally noticed me at the entrance of the room and looked at me in astonishment.
"Adam? What are you doing here?", she asked me immediately and grabbed a small holopad from one of the tables. "Hi...umm I wanted to go get you", I ground out stiffly, feeling a little caught. I stood uncomfortably in front of the two and could now see the man's face clearly.
His blue eyes were similar to Seraphina's but if you looked close enough you could see that hers were lighter and the rim of her iris was darker.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry Adam! I totally forgot to tell you that I'm working on my ship today, so you actually didn't have to come all this way to get me", she said immediately and put the holopad away to shift her attention to me yet again. The man excused himself and suddenly it was just the two of us in the large room.
"Is it because of him that you don't want me here?", I asked uncertainly and suddenly felt out of place. With my golden appearance I stood out strongly in the white ship and I began to fidged with my hands. "God no! I'm actually very happy that you are here", she assured me and yet I wasn't completely convinced of her answer.
"Then why wouldn't you tell me about him?", I asked again and just couldn't shake this queasy feeling away I felt as well, when Peter touched Seraphina. I didn't like the way she smiled at him so softly and let him onto her ship! This guy suddenly showed up and was allowed into her ship while I only got inside by accident?
"I already told you Adam, I forgot. I'm really sorry", she said again and suddenly a feeling came over me that I had never felt so strongly. I had an enormous urge to show her that she was mine and she should realize that too. Not thinking about it, I took a few steps in her direction and lifted her chin with my right hand.
Without warning, I pressed my lips firmly to hers, only hearing a surprised squeak from her, since I had my eyes closed. Like the day before, I immediately melted into the kiss and my left hand automatically found her hip. I found that my hand felt right there and pressed her further towards me so that her body was now flush against mine.
Panting, we broke apart again and slowly I could think more clearly.
"I-I'm sorry... it's just I got this feeling and I couldn't hold myself back any longer. I-I needed to show you that you are mine", I tried to explain and looked down uncertainly.
"You are mine right?", I asked again and looked up into her blue eyes. Her astonished expression was quickly replaced by one of her smiles and she had to chuckle a little. "You were jealous Adam and yes I am yours", she said softly, stroking my strand of hair back, because it had strayed forward in the heat of the moment.
The queasy feeling immediately disappeared and was again replaced by lots of butterflies as she assured me that she was indeed mine. "Who is this guy anyway?" I picked up the strange man again and looked at her expectantly.
"This 'guy' is my brother and his name is Micah", she laughed at my question and now I finally realized why the two looked so alike.
"Oh..."
"I'm back and brought Rocket with me. Said he got some ideas for improvements or something like this," Micah's voice roared, accompanied by Rocket.
"First of all I'm here because I got to the bottom of why this device isn't working and not because of 'something like this'," Rocket began to explain, holding up a small technical device, "secondly there is an error in line 3 and the code of line 5 is missing a rune." Micah looked at the hologram in disbelief and seemed to want to verify Rocket's statement.
"Just... how?"
Rocket just sighed and shook his head, "you sure he is your brother Phina?" She seemed to consider his statement and frowned, "well I do hope so. Been doomed to teach him in 3 languages since he IS my brother."
I carefully followed the conversation between the two and tilted my head slightly to the side, "why would you ask about the validity of his heritage?"
Surely Rocket must have noticed how similar the two looked, right?
"I'm still here y'know! Could you guys please stop talking about me like I'm not here?", came Micah's voice, who had crossed his arms in front of his chest and was slightly glaring at us all.

OC-tober: going about an average day
Using @icannotreadcursive 's prompt list
this one is Angel's average day, featuring me not knowing how ateliers work
Angel uses all pronouns but I'm not entirely used to writing like this - it's the first time I'm writing about them - so it might look a little awkward. Hope not lol
•-------------------------------------------------------•
The mornings have been kind to Angel these past few years. They have been soft and comfortable in temperature – the thermostat really doing wonders for Angel’s cold bones. Almost every breakfast – sunny side up eggs, fresh tiny tomatoes that Seraph grew in their roof garden. She would never admit it, but she liked the peaceful company of plants, and Angel found that her happiness made them feel better too. 
They woke up with their feet sticking out of the blanket, Wagtail purring under their arm. This fluffball of a cat was getting more and more accustomed to their household, which meant that Angel was starting to see some damage. He wasn’t big on knitting, so the untwisted and tattered balls of yarn didn’t bother him too much. They just hoped no delicate lace wouldn’t suffer at kitty’s claws…
He dragged himself out of bed, making sure to cover Wagtail’s head in kisses before leaving, and transferred into his wheelchair to go shower, too sleepy yet to try and move around the house any differently. After that and putting on his prosthetic, he picked an outfit, concluded that it was definitely too much for a regular day, and went downstairs completely satisfied. 
Seraph was nowhere to be found, which bothered Angel a little, but only until they saw a note pinned to the counter with a knife. 
“She’s ruining my furniture again,” Angel tsk-ed, pulling the knife out and trying to make out the messy handwriting. “Really gotta start charging her for staying here, yeah, Wagtail?” 
The cat meowed at their feet, concerned not with the state of the counter, nor with Seraphina’s whereabouts, but with its empty bowl. 
Angel got to it after finally managing to read that his roommate went out to snoop at the newest atelier in the city. Angel wasn’t bothered by other shops opening up, especially as far away as this one, but Seraph was restless all the time and sniffing out information was her definition of fun. And who was Angel, to deny Seraph her play time? 
Angel went on with her day, putting on the music and opening the atelier. They had no appointments for today, so while the sign said “open”, the door stayed firmly locked and Angel stayed in her workshop. 
She barely noticed the passage of time, only made aware of her own rumbling stomach when Wagtail jumped up on her desk unceremoniously, meowing right in Angel’s face. 
Seraph was back too, sitting downstairs with her afternoon tea. Her hearing aids were out, so Angel made sure to move in front of her before waving. 
“I didn’t hear you come back,” they signed when she looked up at them. 
“Does that mean you finished the butterfly dress?” she signed back, tilting her head. Angel sighed and shook their head. “How come you emerged from your cave, then?” 
Angel leaned down and gently grabbed Wagtail, holding him up like Simba. 
Seraph laughed. The day immediately got ranked as “best-day-ever” in Angel’s mind. 
They gossiped over tea, Seraph telling her all about the new atelier. In the middle of a sentence, her hands slowed and trailed off as she stared at Angel, then a soft smile touched her lips. 
“You’ve got glitter all over your hair again.” 
“Ah, shit,” Angel leaned back in his chair to look into one of the mirrors in their living room, and yes, the glitter he was using for fine details on the dress, somehow got into his hair, making the dark brown nest on his head look even more insane than usual. 
“I don’t understand how your projects come out stunning and neat every time, meanwhile you look like you got in a fight with a fairy,” Seraph stood in front of him suddenly, with a brush in her hands. 
This was something they started to do soon after Seraph moved in – brushing each other’s hair. Angel was extremely tense the first few times, but now he practically melted into her touch, closing his eyes. A few more moments of relaxation, and then he’ll go back to tailoring, yes… 
The rest of the day was spent up in his workshop again, stitching and sewing. Angel needed to get the butterfly dress done by tomorrow, and they knew they would. It was nice to have confidence in the mundane. It was even nicer when their mundane meant creating something as unique as this dress. 
In bed again sometime after two a.m., Angel thought that this life was not so bad.

Meet Breanne Felton. Some time has passed since I played Alaysia and Henry Felton. They now have a daughter and son. Here's a little information about Breanne.
21 years old
Creative, Bookworm, Loves Horses
Student at Britechester University, majoring in Art History
Freelance Artist
Breanne always had a fascination with horses. Her parents would take her to watch competitions at the Chestnut Ridge Equestrian Center, and she dreamed one day of being able to ride horses and to compete.
One day she was browsing through Simbook when she came across a news article about a new equestrian center opening in Windenburg called Seraphina Meadow Stables. She was beyond thrilled and decided to go there the next day to become a student.
The following day she arrived to see two horses being unloaded from a trailer into the paddock. She saw Warren giving directions and assumed that he would be the owner of the establishment. With butterflies in her chest she walked up to him eagerly and caught his attention.
She introduced herself and stated how she wanted to become a student. Warren became just as excited as she was going to become his first student. Breanne signed the paperwork and paid the first month, ready to start training immediately.
(6 months would pass by the time her riding photos were taken)
Almost a year into her lessons, Breanne is feeling more confident than ever. She has learned the basic maneuvers of trotting and cantering. Now she begins her next lessons on show jumping. This is what she has been waiting for, as it is her favorite part from all the competitions she watched years ago.
She has also developed a deep crush on Warren. Sometimes she wonders if he feels the same...

dirty teasing meme / accepting / @crimsontwins​
[ LAP ]  for Alhaitham
Tumblr media
Her words exactly were ‘There’s something wonderful you can explore.’ In hindsight he should have taken consideration of both her tone and facial expression when she had said that. Well, tone maybe, as for her expression he was far too deep within his books to even know what kind of face she had been making but nevertheless, the woman led them both into such an extravagant spot in the jungle that anyone could be fool at the prospect of something valuable. However it was once they arrived at a certain area that resembles a meadow, nothing but soft grass and butterflies as far as he could see did she instructed him to sit down.
He remembered what a fool he’d been for doing so in the first place if only to satiate his own personal curiosity. But then the unthinkable..or not soo unthinkable thing happened when it had to do with Sera. She sat onto his lap, straddling him even and began working her hips against him. However, these actions proved to be extremely ineffective as his body did not provide the reaction she might have been hoping for.
Tumblr media
“Seraphina, you’re a beautiful woman. But I’ve already told you these antics are a waste on me. To think you’d even stoop so low as to lie.” That’s when he gave her a rather deadpan stare. He knew such actions were only human soo how could he blame her, she was simply doing something that was of the norm for two consenting adults. Alhaitham was not a man who hated sex or intimacy, he simply felt this was not the time and place for it. “Maybe next time.”

For oc asks, how about Pholso? I first learned about him in your oc poll, and he seems like a very cool person and a good dad. What happened that caused him to leave his kingdom and title of King? I'm guessing it had to do with the death of his wife - did he leave to protect his daughter from the same fate? To leave off with something a bit lighter, does he have any hobbies or favourite activities? I hope work gets less 'oof' for you soon!
Thank you for the ask and the luck!! To give a summary of Pholso's backstory, I'll also need to explain Nerium and Seraphina. TW for abuse mention and kidnapping (although short):
Nerium (luna moth) was my first ever HK oc. She was made to be a crime moth, which was a term a bunch of friends used for "moth that is just horrible". Initially, she was introduced as an elite assassin who was the co-operator of a guild that trained assassins, but to the friend group, she was known as Revek's mentor and abuser. She kidnapped him from his home due to the guild lacking spiders, and was the one to personally mentor him. TLDR, she was made to be horrible and her actions will show such.
Seraphina, on the other hand, was introduced in a random fic I did when giving Revek backstory. Current day Seraphina is the empress of the Khivell Empire, but she and Nerium used to know one another. They moved to the kingdom together when Pholso's wife (who is never named) was still queen. At the time, she was married to another moth, who eventually passed away (she remarried to Pholso laster). The queen had a son, a promethea moth named Prism, and Seraphina fell in love with him. It is important to note that this prince is not Pholso's, and the two didn't have a relationship as per Prism's request. Anyways, Seraphina married into the family with eyes on the throne while Nerium worked for money. Nerium was sorely mistreated, and when it was brought to Seraphina's attention, it went ignored.
Now onto Pholso's. TW for assassination/assassination attempts and death mentions
He was the ruler of the Khivell Empire, one of my kingdoms. The kingdom was a monarchy, so he was born into it. His wife was a satyr butterfly, and the two had a kid, Lumi, who was a spotted peppergrass moth. Lumi grew up pretty well; her parents ensured they were never neglecting her. Pholso loved his wife and kid dearly.
A year later, Seraphina grew very power hungry. She went to Nerium and together, the two plotted to kill the monarchy, with Nerium wanting revenge on those who blatantly watched her be mistreated (or so she thought; none of the monarchy ever knew of it). Pholso's wife was assassinated in the night, but Pholso and Lumi escaped the attempt. Despite the grief, the two decided together to remain in the kingdom to see the killers brought to justice. Some time later, evidence surfaced and pointed to Seraphina and Nerium. Desperate to save her skin and position, Seraphina solely blamed Nerium. At the time, Pholso was not making the decisions; Prism was taking up that role in order for Pholso to grieve the loss of his wife. Prism, manipulated by Seraphina, sentenced Nerium to die.
The day of the execution, Nerium and Pholso had a short conversation regarding the killing. Nerium revealed to him that she did kill his wife, but also showed evidence of Seraphina also being in cahoots with her. Pholso didn't believe her at first, but realized it was true and decided to overrule the execution. His plans to have the two thrown in prison and put on trial never came to fruition: Nerium broke out before it could be announced. She managed to stab Prism and tear out his heart, done in front of everyone. In a rage fueled by bloodlust, she tried to kill Seraphina next, but Pholso stopped her. He allowed Nerium to flee, and, without naming a successor, resigned his position, took Lumi, and left. Serpahina took over shortly after and is still ruling now.
Pholso currently lives in Hallownest with another friend's oc, happily married to them, working as a rescue service to make money, even though he and his partner still have the riches from his monarchy. Lumi lives in another kingdom, but I've not decided what she's doing yet. Nerium was adopted by a Wyrm after fleeing, and the two built the Asesino Passel, the assassin guild that Revek is later forced into.
As for hobbies/activities, he's a very nature-y guy! He loves admiring the scenery! He is very, very fluffy; his fluff makes up about 45% of his body weight. Because of this, he takes great care in grooming himself. He also tailors, since the spots on the back of his wings can disorient other bugs. Because of that, he makes custom robes/kimonos for himself. He also bakes a bit, since his partner is a baker, but only sparsely.

♔ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐄 — 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐕𝐈 @kathrynalicemc ♔
1.) Canon or Fiction? If your family is a Canon one you made your own: What drew you to that specific family? Did you make any changes to Canon, and if so, why? If your family is completely original: Where did the Family name come from? What was your inspiration and who was the first OC you created for it?
This is a story I told before on Discord, but I have a very extensive list of names I keep in my notes app and Brokenshire was one name I’d come across a long time ago. I think I was watching the news or something and they were talking about a British politician named James Brokenshire he’s dead now tho yikes and I was like ‘oooh that��s a cool name’ and added it to my list. I have an original story OC that I likely will never come back to who I gave the surname Brokenshire. As for Rex (who was indeed the first OC of the family), I was looking through my list for a name that was unusual, somewhat noble sounding that could also be a plausible name for a pureblood family with historic and famous roots and once again came across Brokenshire. It was perfect for him. I also originally had Rex be a villain too, growing up to follow in his family’s footsteps to become a vampire hunter I mean we all know how awesome a villainesque character Jeremy Irons can play but after doing some thinking and some playing around with the character idea, I thought it better that Rex breaks the mould and puts a stop to centuries of violence and death.
2.) Family Ties: What other families are related/connected to this one? Are they Canon families or creator made families? (Tag them!)
The Brokenshires, of course, have ties to the Cairncross family. Their relationship began with the brotherhood formed between Rex and Eli whilst at Hogwarts and for decades later their two families make one big family. That is, until, Jem Brokenshire severs ties when Quentin Cairncross begins to preach and practice Dark Magic. Years later, when Vienna and Liam enter Hogwarts, the families start to rebuild their relationship (only after Vienna and Liam spend a little while hating each other lol).
Rex’s youngest son Gideon marries Seraphina Hopper @thatravenpuffwitch, his first grandson Toby marries Winnie, who, although isn’t related by blood, comes from the Sapieha family @slytherindisaster. His other grandson Caspar marries Jude Dubois @endlessly-cursed.
As far as canon is concerned, the Brokenshires are related to the pureblood Greengrass family through Rex’s eldest son Ace’s marriage to Calixta Greengrass. Her father was not impressed by their courtship, but after Calixta threatened to never speak to him again and a tense conversation with Rex he eventually came around to the idea.
3.) Foundations: What year and which OC was the founder of the family line? If the family goes back hundreds of years and you don’t know the first member, tell us about the oldest OC in the family you have created.
The Brokenshires have been around for centuries, since the 1200s, but they didn’t come into prominence until Reynard began the family legacy of vampire hunting. Before that they were a fairly small family with roots in Germany, France, England, and Ireland, who were mainly scholars, political advisors, spell inventors, and winemakers.
4.) Fun Facts: Do you have any misc lore you have that you haven’t had a chance to post about? Talk about anything you like!
• Ace’s daughter Adrienne is a lesbian. She realised she might be different when she met the daughter of one of her mother’s friends at a party and felt butterflies in her stomach. Adrienne hid her feelings for a while, scared of what her parents would think, but eventually came clean about what was bothering her. She cried joyously when they told her that they would be proud of her no matter what and would support any relationship she wanted to pursue as long as it made her happy — Adrienne is also open to love interests but only to the right person!
• Collis Brokenshire (Cecilee’s son) spent a great deal of time being lost. Everything about life was so confusing and he didn’t understand when all of his friends had decided on their future careers so quickly and confidently. He always had a passion for creatures, thanks to both his mother and grandfather, so when he took a trip to a magical creature sanctuary in Scotland (owned by the one and only Joss Stagg) he fell in love with a Hebridean Black dragon and with a little prompting from Joss himself, Collie found himself helping out at the sanctuary and studying dragons. The more he did so, the more he realised this was meant to be his path in life. He eventually became a renowned dragonologist, with Joss and his mother Siobhan @kc-and-co as inspiration.
• Evelyn found it very difficult to come to terms with being magical. Her religious parents were confused, wondering where the inherited abilities had come from, and her siblings seemed to be noticeably wary of her despite them trying not to make it obvious. She spent time away during the day, when the weather was fine and sunny, in the fields near her home making flowers change colour with a wave of her hand and trying her best to come to terms with the person she was becoming. She’d already decided that she might like to become a school teacher, but with magical abilities and the opportunity to learn a great deal more at Hogwarts she put that plan on the back burner. Initially uncertain and scared, Evelyn’s parents told her that they only wish for her to be safe and happy. And if that meant letting her go to Hogwarts then that’s what they would do. Their acceptance (despite everything they believed in) meant the absolute world to Evelyn and she vowed to make them proud.
5.) Free Space: Feel free to ask any creator a question not listed here and maybe you will get one in return!
Ask me a question and if you’re playing along with the challenge I’ll send you one back! (Please let me know if you are so it’s easier for me to keep track lol)

@secretscost asked: “ i think i’m falling in love with you. “ (for Sera from Silas)
Tumblr media
❈ — It hadn't been that long. A few months, at most. But her feelings for Silas started from the moment he helped her that night on the beach. Seraphina hadn't known what to expect, but it certainly wasn't a relationship with him. And yet here they were, with Silas lying atop her in his bed with her fingers gingerly raking through his hair. Words are confessed, and she feels her heart quicken and those pesky butterflies in her stomach. But Silas' words didn't frighten her, quite the contrary. They only made her smile warmly.
Tumblr media
"I think I'm falling for you, too." Voice soft as cashmere, and sweet as honey. "I think I have been ever since our first night together..."

Adam Warlock x OC
Part 2
Word Count: 2.045
Warnings: Adam being cute, fluff, angst, slight jealousy, first kiss
Tumblr media
POV Seraphina
I got to know Adam better over the next few days and found his naivety almost sweet. He still had a lot to learn, mostly about himself and what he was capable of. I quickly grew fond of his mannerism and got used to his almost permanent presence.
When I was working with other people, you could assume Adam wasn't far and almost never let me out of his sight besides his own work. You couldn't see him, but I could almost feel his golden eyes burning into my shape.
Pete in particular tried to tease me about Adam chasing after me like a lost dog.
"5 bucks that Adam is sitting behind that building over here, staring at you", Pete laughed and pointed over his shoulder to a slightly taller building that had already been repaired. I could only roll my eyes and shake my head, "Pete this is getting old, don't you have other things to do?"
"Oh come on Phina, how can you not notice this! He's always around ready to protect you or whatever. It hit him hard and he's always glaring at me whenever I'm apparently 'too close'", Pete continued to laugh and wiggled along his eyebrows.
"First of all I am noticing him and secondly don't be ridiculous! He's just trying to understand everything better", I said quickly and closed the repaired junction box I was working on.
"He sure does understand that he doesn't like others touching you", said Pete and shrugged his shoulders with a grin, whereupon I laughed and gave him a light smack to the side, "stop it!"
POV Adam
With a bitter taste in my mouth, I watched Seraphina and Peter from a hidden building. I had recently completed my task and actually wanted to go back to Seraphina to see if I could help her, but when I found her, Peter was already at her side. I didn't like how close the two always were. Of course they had known each other for a long time, but why did Peter always have to touch her like that?
Whenever he hugged her or took her hand to pull her up or anything, my stomach clenched like I had eaten something bad. I had to hold myself back from marching towards the two and yanking him away from Seraphina.
Only I should be allowed to touch her like that!
A few days ago I saw two residents holding hands and hugging. I was a little confused because I've never seen anyone else hold hands, only hugs so far. Mantis had explained to me that the two were a 'couple' and that these actions were about love.
x
"Ohh but love is about so much more Adam! When you love someone you get butterflies in your stomach and you have to think about that person a lot", Mantis tried to explained after seeing my confused look, "you show affection to that person and would do anything for her, so holding hands is just a small part."
I nodded thoughtfully and looked back at the seemingly happy couple. They seemed to say goodbye to each other and when the two pressed their lips together it almost caught my breath.
In that moment, I knew right away that that's exactly what I wanted to do with Seraphina. Put my lips on her soft ones and sink into her warmth.
x
So I spent the next few days trying to show her as best as I could that I liked her and wanted her for myself. Whenever we went somewhere together, I took her delicate hand in mine, albeit hesitantly. Guided her safely by my hand from place to place, hoping she liked me too. After all, she never pulled her hand away or spoke negatively of my advances.
But Peter was a different matter. He put his arm around her shoulders when walking with her or hugged her longer than the other Guardians. He made her laugh and the two always seemed to have a great time together. Of course I also made her laugh, but most of the time I didn't even know why.
The only thing I could do was glare at Peter from afar while my hands clenched into fists for better control of my anger.
"Hey Adam you got a minute?" I was finally snapped out of my thoughts and quickly turned to Mantis, "what are you doing up here anyway?" She surveyed the building and must have noticed that it had long since been repaired, so my presence here was unnecessary.
She was just about to peek around the corner of the building where Seraphina and Peter were when I quickly stepped into her line of sight, "n-nothing! Just taking a quick break... that's all."
She continued to look at me for a moment, but luckily she stopped prying and waved me after her. "We need your help with fixing some walls", she explained quickly and I followed her while my thoughts wandered back to Seraphina and Peter.
"Can I ask you something?", I asked a little uncertainly and Mantis turned to me with a smile, "sure just ask away!" We reached the road again and now strolled side by side while Mantis showed me the way.
"If you like someone... how do you get others to know?" I tried to formulate my question and then looked at Mantis, who seemed to be thinking about my question.
"Well for starters there are things that only couples do, like holding hands and kissing and stuff. Should be pretty clear by those actions I guess", she said thoughtfully and I started to fidget with my hands behind my back.
"What if the other person doesn't get that you like them?", I asked trying to hide my nervousness. "Well tell her of course! She won't know how you feel until you tell her Adam", Mantis laughed and I tilted my head slightly thoughtfully in her direction, "but you did say that those actions speak for themself..."
"Yeah but in order the be a couple both parties have to like each other and tell the other one how they feel", Mantis said quickly and I took in her words, "some people just like you as friends and don't want to be lovers." Her words stopped me almost abruptly.
Could it be that Seraphina only saw me as a friend?
An uncomfortable feeling spread through me. "You okay Adam?", Rocket suddenly asked who had appeared next to me and I immediately nodded without looking at him, "well then. This way golden boy, we got a lot to do." I quickly followed Rocket to one of the almost completely destroyed buildings and helped him with the walls.
x
After several hours we were finally done with most of the repairs and I was told we wouldn't continue until tomorrow. During all the work I had decided to somehow explain to Seraphina how I felt about her and hoped that she liked me as well. But when I was finally on my way to her, I wasn't so sure anymore on how to do it at all.
Only when I heard her soft laugh did I know that I had arrived at her and that my legs had led me to her as if by magic.
Of course, Peter was still with her and I clenched my jaw tightly as I watched the two of them. He had his arm around her waist and seemed to be telling her something. Seraphina also made no move to remove his arm from her hip and I felt insecure again.
Maybe I should just leave her alone with Peter. It doesn't look like they're looking for my presence.
"Oh and here he is! Golden boy is about to take you to your ship", Peter suddenly said when he had probably noticed me and I frowned at his remark. "Stop it Pete don't be mean," Seraphina said with a barely noticeable smirk on her lips and rolled her eyes. She crossed her arms and Peter just laughed as he said goodbye to us, "have a good night."
She glanced after Peter and then turned her attention to me, "you ready to go?" I looked uncertainly from Peter's ever-shrinking figure to her delicate one, and despite the butterflies in my stomach, I found my voice again.
"Do you like being touched by him?", I asked a little tensely and waited for her answer.
"What?"
"Do you like...", but she interrupted me in the middle of the sentence, "I know what you asked Adam. What do you mean by that?"
Unsteadily, I shifted my weight from one leg to the other and then still plucked up my courage, "I don't like him touching you like this."
"Why is that?", she asked me after a short pause and I had to swallow hard.
"I want to be the only one touching you like this. I want to be the only one holding your hand when walking and I want to be the only one to lay my arm around you", I started listing until finally I just said, "I really like you a-and would like you to be mine."
Stiff as a board, I looked into her eyes while the butterflies in my stomach danced wildly. Her mouth was slightly open and she seemed to be surprised, which in turn made me doubt.
Didn't I show her clearly enough that I liked her?
"A-adam..." she managed to choke out and my heart immediately felt like someone had ripped it out of my chest.
So she only saw me as a friend...
"I-im sorry... I should go... Rocket might need me... umm with walls and stuff", I tried to escape from the uncomfortable situation and turned around quickly. I hadn't gone two steps far when I felt her warm hand close around mine and she tried to pull me back, "wait Adam you didn't even hear me out." I hesitantly turned to her and my golden eyes darted from her soft hand to her blue eyes that regarded me softly.
"I'd like to be yours", she finally said smiling, giving my hand a gentle squeeze to reassure me that she meant it.
"You... really? You like me too?", I asked again to make sure that she understood my request.
"Yes, I like you too Adam", she assured me confidently and a happy smile was now on my lips as well.
"Come on my ship's this way", she said and immediately pulled me behind her. The butterflies returned to my stomach only this time they caused a warm and comforting feeling that I instantly began to like.
"So there'll be a 'no touching' rule for Pete huh?", she asked smiling in my direction and I unconsciously squeezed her hand a little more. I pulled her closer so that her shoulder was almost pressed against me, "it would be nice if he could stop himself from doing so."
"You're so cute Adam", Seraphina just laughed and then nodded to me reassuringly, "I'll tell him don't worry." We were already standing in front of her ship in which she lived for the time being and her hand slipped out of mine. She stepped onto the ramp to her ship and then turned to me.
Both hands placed gently on my cheeks and she pulled me down to place my lips on her soft ones. I immediately melted into the tender gesture and wished this moment would never end. Slowly we parted again and I looked at her a little out of breath because I hadn't expected this gesture of affection.
"I hope you have a good night Adam", Seraphina bid her goodbye to me while I was still standing in front of her, as stiff as a board.
"I uhh... yes I wish you also a good night", I said quickly after catching myself, which elicited a laugh from her.

It's May 9th! That mean it's Seraphina Konig's birthday!! yes all my characters have birthdays, no i won't celebrate all of them
In honor of this, here’s a scene from The Song of the Golden and the Damned that I had to cut because length:
“No, no, no.” Seraphina ran to his side, catching Orion’s hand before he could move it. “That’s not right.”
He frowned down at her. “You said a teaspoon of sugar.”
“Yes,” she said with a grin. “And that’s a tablespoon of salt. There’s a slight difference.”
It had taken months but she was learning that he was completely useless in the kitchen. It wasn’t surprising, but it was endlessly amusing. While she had been spending spare time with the kitchen staff baking desserts and pastries, Orion had been crafting weapons and learning how to wield them. She was much more well versed in it all, although being in his home—and she noticed the way he faltered over the word, like it didn’t fit quite right—rather than hers was providing a challenge for them both. Neither of them knew where anything was. As far as she was concerned, that was part of the fun.
Orion was clueless when it came to baking, but it was Seraphina’s twenty-third birthday and he couldn’t say no to her today. So when she told him she wanted to make her mother’s lemon tarts, he could do nothing but agree.
Three sandstone walls, the fourth hidden behind a large oven, weren’t so different from what she was accustomed to. Gray stone counters lined the perimeter walls and were currently covered in all manner of ingredients and utensils. Several cabinets resided under the counters and most of them now hung open. 
Seraphina rummaged through a drawer and withdrew a smaller spoon. “Have you seen the sugar anywhere? No, no, don’t put that back!”
Orion froze, hovering with the container of salt halfway back in the cabinet. “You said we didn’t need it.”
“No, I said you had too much. Where’s the sugar?”
He put the salt back on the counter, reached in, and pulled out the sack of sugar as well as a sack of flour. “Right here. Why are we putting salt in something sweet?”
“It’s what my mother always did.”
“Why?”
“I don’t know the science behind it all.” She retrieved a small card from her pocket. It was covered in her mother’s slanted handwriting, scrawled in Katanten and illegible to Orion. He was completely relying on her for directions. “You rarely ever taste it.”
“Rarely?”
She nudged him in the stomach with her elbow and put a dash of salt into the bowl. He laughed and kissed her cheek. Even after all this time, her skin turned electric at his touch and butterflies were spurred to life in her stomach.
“Stop it,” she squealed, squirming out of reach. “You’re distracting me.”
“I’ve been told I’m rather good at that,” he said, reaching for her again. She danced backwards with a laugh as he gave chase, darting around the table in the center of the room. As she passed by the counter, Seraphina’s gaze snagged on the bag resting on top. There were only two options for what it could be and both were harmless. So she reached into a bag and flung a handful of the contents at him.
Orion stopped dead as a white powder settled over him.
Flour. She threw flour at him and now it was covering his face, clothes, and the floor.
Slowly, he grinned. It was a mischievous, dangerous grin and her eyes widened as she retreated a step. Faster than anyone should be able to move, he snatched another bag of flour from the closest cabinet. She lunged for her sack and he managed to throw some of the powder at her as she darted by. It would be a nuisance to wash off later, but she didn’t mind.
“That’s rude,” she said with a smile. “Some poor servant has to clean this up.”
“You started this.”
“I was hoping you’d forgotten about that.”
He laughed as they dashed around the kitchen, covering each other—and every surface in the room—in flour. They nearly slipped several times and coughed when it got in their mouth but the sound of laughter filled the space as they chased each other about the small space. At one point, she saw a serving girl, no older than fourteen, poke her head in and wink at Orion before vanishing up the stairs.
In a moment of distraction, hands wrapped around her waist and pinned her against a strong, unyielding body. “I’ve got you,” he said, triumphant. Seraphina laughed, gasping for breath as she smiled up at him. “I think we destroyed the kitchen.”
“We can clean it up later,” she said. “I do still intend on making those pastries, so long as we have flour left.”
“I’m sure we can find some more somewhere.”
Her mouth caught his and while flour didn’t taste very good, he was sweet as always. Her hands came up behind his neck, one tangling in his hair as the other trailed down to his shoulder. His hands rested at her waist, gripping her tight enough to leave white handprints on her skirt. They were surely making even more of a mess of each other, but she didn’t care. All that mattered in this moment was him and the feeling of his body under her hands.
“Happy birthday,” he murmured once she pulled away.
She grinned. “Thank you.” Two pats on his chest left a white mark as she slipped out from under him. “Now, find me the oil, will you?”
