Falling into a new fandom/ship and finding out some of your mutuals are already in it is amazing because you can immediately go scream at them about it without holding back 😂
they sometimes go fly in the dark of the night in their dragon forms and people who see them wonder who they are, totally mesmerized by their imposing beauty, brilliant blues and iridescent whites reflecting the moonlight and the stars from above
and when Neuvillette hears anyone whispering about them during the day, he just smirks happily to himself, remembering all the nights there were and looking forward to the ones that are yet to come
so I love me a good social media batfam fic, but imagine this.
a wayne family adventures-esque series where the various waynes & wayne adjacents are vlogging their (civilian) life, but every so often you see this late teen / college aged guy just in the background of vids in passing. they pass by the kitchen and he's cooking, they cut through the garage and he's working on a motorcycle. most often though, a leg or an arm or the back of his head can be seen just out of frame in the library. never anything identifying - unless you count the tuft of white hair, and the always present books.
but they waynes never acknowledge him in vlogs, and he's never featured in them. the comments point him out. the comments what to know who the strange guy is. they never get an answer. the waynes have a ghost.
Ok but here’s a concept: Damon’s talent was / is music and Stefan’s was drawing / painting bcs noble kids in Renaissance times were taught different types of Arts beside reading and all that
thinking about how in canon the only nicknames i’ve ever heard stefan say to someone were care, nik, val and ric, perhaps bon once or twice, but i can’t remember. anyway , i’m here to say that if your muse has a nickname he’ll def call them it, especially if they’re in a relationship. he doesn’t use babe or baby too often but he does like nicknames. like lena for elena? or bex for rebekah? even d for damon and ty for tyler. it would be so cute if he’d use those in canon but julie hates him so i’ll be having my stefan use all the nicknames for your muses, thank you.
tbh the inverse of "i forgive but i never forget" is very compelling to me. some guy who's like "i have never forgiven a single slight made against me in my life but because of that i will lose track of who i'm holding grudges against and why"
