Hey~ - Miguel O'Hara x secret boyfriend! Male! Reader

Bestie this had me thinking the moment I read it, it's not great, but I hope you enjoy this crack

CIS Women and Female Aligned people, please DNI, this story and all of my others are for non-binary, masculine aligned and male readers!

Walking into the room that has been dubbed Miguel’s office, by everyone but him, (y/n) saw him trying to ignore the barrage of questions from the three teens that normally bother him. Miles, Gwen, and Hobie were asking his boyfriend a bunch of questions that Miguel was obviously not thrilled about to be answering. Stopping behind the three teens, (y/n) crossed his arms over his chest with a slightly amused look on his face. No one in the Spider Society knew that he and Miguel were dating besides the two of him, and just maybe he had a way to save him from this barrage of questions. Putting a hand on Miles’ shoulder, (y/n) made him stop his question mid-sentence to look back at the slightly taller man.

“Wanna see something funny?” (y/n) pulled his mask off with the other hand and tucked it into the pocket of his jacket before walking over to Miguel and tapping him on the shoulder.

“What could you possibly- oh, hey, what do you need?” Miguel’s attitude softened at seeing his boyfriend, but not enough to make it obvious to the three teens in front of them that they were dating. (y/n) reached his hand up to rest it on Miguel’s shoulder and leaned forward slightly, lowering his voice just a bit and speaking a little huskily. “Hey” Giving Miguel a sweet smile and an even sweeter look with his eyes, (y/n) could hear the shock from the three teens and the three of them muttering quietly about how he had a death wish or how crazy (y/n) was for trying this. Miguel looked taken aback for a moment before looking away from (y/n), not quite sure how to respond to him without making it obvious to the other three that he was definitely enjoying it. Putting a hand over his face and turned away from all of them, his back facing the three teens and (y/n). 

“A-all of you ou-out of here” (y/n)’s soft smile quickly turned into a smug smirk as he turned back to Gwen, Miles, and Hobie and quickly ushered them out of his office, giggling slightly to himself as he did so. 

“How did that work? How did you get that to work??” Miles was utterly lost as he watched Miguel definitely turn into a flustered mess at one word, the one trick he couldn’t even do himself. 

“Just a little magic” (y/n)’s smug smirk remained as he got the three out of the room, turning back to Miguel once he was at the door to see the faint blush covering his cheeks and winking at him before leaving the room himself, muttering about how he “got Miguel good”.

Writing request! Phantom being a soft little attention whore and doing everything to get the flustered GN!Reader's attention? Doesn't need be NSFW, Phantom just wants some cuddle time.

Anon I need to thank you for adding fuel to my Phantom obsession

Also ignore how long this got

Tags: none! Just good old fluff

My request are currently open !

You had gotten to dinner later than normal because of some overflow work you were assigned. Being Sister Imperator’s assistant had its perks, but most of the time it left you with a stack of paper the size of your torso. That’s how you ended up displaced in the dining hall. Where you normally sat with the other Siblings who have been at the Ministry for a decent amount of time was crowded. You couldn’t justify trying to worm your way in. So you took up an open spot with some of the newer Siblings at the end of the hall. You were engrossed in your own world trying to get your brain to stop buzzing for the better part of the meal, only occasionally answering some questions or clearing up misunderstandings that you may have overheard. That was until you heard snickering. You looked up and noticed that the ghouls of The Ghost Project were seated at a table not far from yours. You also noticed that one of them, the quintessence ghoul by the looks of it, was approaching while Dew and Swiss tried and failed to hide their amusement. 

The Siblings you were seated with forgot about any conversations that might've been going on when the ghoul came to a stop at the head of the table, his tail wagging rapidly. The mask may have hidden his face, but his mood was clear as day. Everyone at the table looked at him with wide wonder-filled eyes. You just cocked your head at him with a small smile. His tail beat faster if that was even possible. 

“I couldn’t help but overhear some of you have never seen ghoul magic before.” He smiled so wide his fangs were peeking out from his lips. Some of the Siblings made small noises in affirmation too wonderstruck to formulate a proper response. 

“Well lucky for you I learned a new trick! Do you wanna see it?” All it took was one nodding their head for him to clap his hands together “Great! I’ll need a volunteer though.” 

You had never seen people move so quickly in your life. Each one of the Siblings was leaning over one another to get closer to the ghoul in hopes they’d be picked. He just laughed and held up his hands in a passive gesture. 

“Alright okay, how about…you!”

 The ghoul motions to the Sibling closest to him. He nods his head eagerly and waits for whatever instruction. The ghoul reaches out and places a hand on his shoulder. The air smells like ozone for a brief moment and you can hear a faint static noise as you watch tiny purple sparks dance to life and connect the two. Everyone at the table seems to be holding their breath watching with an intensity you don’t even see during Black Mass. You huff a little amused laugh and eat while you watch the display. 

When the ghoul removes his hand the Sibling is staring at him in awe as he beams down at him. There’s a confused murmur through the group and out of instinct you answer their questioning 

“Telepathy. Some quint ghouls have that ability.”

 It’s almost humorous how casually you talk about demons and magic. It goes quiet for a moment. You look up from your plate to see all of the Siblings and the ghoul staring at you. His mouth was half open and it was only then did you realized you definitely just interrupted him. You panic internally for about a second before you notice his tail never stopped wagging. He made a move to walk over to your spot at the table, but he didn’t get very far before he was yanked backward with a yelp. 

“Stop bothering the Siblings and eat your food before it gets cold or else you get leftovers in the den.” You recognized the voice of Cirrus from under the mask. 

The moment he was gone, they all began questioning the man who was lucky enough to be chosen. He tried his best to describe it, but it was obvious he was floundering under the attention. You weren’t completely exhausted yet so you decided to throw him a bone and began to explain what you knew of ghoul magic and some of the things you’ve seen it do. However, the entire time you spoke you couldn’t help but notice the little quintessence ghoul hadn’t taken his eyes off you once. Every time he realized you were looking back, he would wave and smile broadly, and every single time Dew and Swiss would tease him. You couldn’t help but laugh at the display, it was pretty cute seeing how excited he got. 

After you had finished and decided you had enough conversation for one night, you stood to leave, bidding everyone at the table a nice night. You made it approximately five feet out of the dining hall before you felt a clawed hand on your wrist. You stopped and turned to face none other than the little quintessence ghoul. His purring was filling the otherwise quiet hallway. 

You cock your head with a smile not quite reaching your tired eyes.

“Need something…?”

“Phantom.” He grinned.

“Phantom.” 

He trilled happily “Say it again.” 

You huffed a laugh and took your hand from his grasp “Answer my question first.” 

He took his helmet off, shook his hair out, and looked at you with bright eyes, cheeks dusted a deeper purple. 

“Can I spend the night with you?” His tail wagged as he waited for your answer. 

That was not what you were expecting him to say if you were being honest with yourself. You had been at the Ministry for years now, so random demons offering a night of sin was nothing surprising. What was surprising was just how forward he was. Usually, it took the new ghouls a bit of time to gain that level of confidence and interest in the humans of the Ministry. 

When the silence dragged his face flustered deeper. 

“That’s not what I meant dear Sibling…I mean well not unless you’re offering.” 

You smile amused at the way his voice pitched higher awkwardly, you almost feel bad for your response.

“Not tonight Phantom. I’m exhausted from work.”

“Oh! Well that’s fine we can just—“ 

“I meant no to both sweetheart.” 

The wag of his tail faltered as his purring got softer. You didn’t miss the brief flash of disappointment in his expression before he tried to hide it. He lightly shook his head causing his earrings to jingle. 

“Well…can I walk with you to your room?” 

You laughed “Sure I don’t see why not.” 

“Great!” He immediately grabbed your hand and started walking down the hallway. You gave a light tug on his hand. He looked at you with a little ‘mmrr?’ sound. 

“Uh, Phantom…my room is that way.” You pointed to the right with your other hand. 

He smiled awkwardly making a noise of affirmation and turned to the direction you pointed to and began walking with your hand still in his. He definitely has not gotten used to his otherworldly strength because he was practically dragging you behind him. Eventually, you gathered your footing and were able to walk side by side. He kept glancing at you as he walked and would startle every time you caught him. 

When you arrived at the door to your room you dropped his hand ready to say goodnight. Before you could squeak even one word out he wrapped you in a tight but quick hug. You rolled your eyes with a smile and hugged him back with a pat on his back. When he let go you opened your door and stepped in but not before turning around to him. 

“Goodnight Phantom.” 

You began to close the door and noticed that he tilted his head to keep looking at you until it was completely closed. 

You smiled at the closed door for a moment before going about your before-bed routine. You flopped onto the horde of fluffy pillows and blankets and let the events of the day replay in your head. You let out a sigh feeling content at finally having a moment to yourself. It’s not that you didn’t like sitting with the new Siblings, but it felt more like babysitting or hanging out with a coworker. Then you thought to Phantom. You smiled to yourself. New ghouls were always so much fun, they were always so curious about everything Earth had to offer. It was even better when they finally got used to the company of humans and began seeking interactions. You would be lying if you said you didn’t find his behavior a bit endearing already. You had a feeling this wouldn’t be the last time Phantom followed you back to your room. 

Turns out, that came much earlier than you expected. You had woken up a bit before your alarm and decided to just accept your fate and get up and ready for the day. When you opened your door to leave, you immediately tripped over something. The mass in front of your door let out a surprised yelp. You caught yourself before falling. When you turned around you were met with the sight of Phantom slowly sitting up rubbing sleep from his eyes.

“G’moring.” He said with a yawn that ended in a whine. 

“Phantom I did you…did you sleep there all night?” 

“Yeah, why?” He asked it so casually with a hint of genuine confusion. 

You stared at him bug-eyed

 “Why? You weren’t kicked out of the ghoul den already were you?” 

He cocked his head raising an eyebrow 

“Uhh no? I wanted to walk with you to breakfast but then I realized I didn’t know how early you got up and then I realized I usually sleep late. So naturally the solution was to sleep right here.” He emphasized his statement by tapping the floor with his tail causing the piercings to scrape against the stone. 

You laughed with a mix of amusement and disbelief “Naturally.” 

You held out your hand to him and he took it eagerly. You helped him up and he hugged you again. As you two walked to the dining hall, he wrapped his tail around your wrist. With how early it was there weren’t many people at breakfast which you didn’t mind. It was mostly older Siblings and a few Clergy ghouls. The Siblings gave you knowing looks and you just rolled your eyes in amusement. The only other band ghoul that was present was Cirrus. When she noticed the way Phantom was leaning practically on top of you she came over. 

“Bug I think you’re suffocating the dear Sibling.”

You shook your head as he whined “It’s fine Cirrus I don’t mind.” You reached up to scratch behind his pointed ears for emphasis. His tail beat heavily against the bench as a loud purr kicked up in his chest.

“Alright alright but if he does start bothering you, you know where to find me.” She said with amusement. 

“I can handle myself” you grinned at her “I know how to handle a ghoul.” 

Her tail flicked playfully behind her as she turned to go back to where she had sat. 

You finished breakfast rather quickly after that and untangled Phantom’s tail from your arm making him pout. You apologized and gave him a quick explanation of your job as Sister Imperator’s assistant and why you had to go so suddenly. He seemed to accept it despite his dejected look. You ruffled his hair and bid him a good day which caused him to brighten a bit. 

~~~

Apparently Phantom didn’t quite accept your explanation. Your task for the day, after finishing the paperwork you didn’t get to yesterday, was to run around the Ministry delivering said paperwork to whomever it applied to. Somehow every corner you turned you bumped into Phantom. At first, he would apologize, give your hand a squeeze, and then walk off to do his own chores, but after he realized you didn’t seem to be getting annoyed with the ‘coincidences’ he simply started to follow you around. He kept his distance for a bit genuinely not wanting to interfere with your job, but every time you turned and caught his eye and didn’t tell him off he would creep closer. 

By the end of the day, he was practically your personal escort, walking side by side with you asking you questions just to hear you talk with his tail curled idly around your arm. Little did you know, that soon became your new daily routine. You would wake up to him waiting eagerly outside your door so you could walk to the dining hall together. He would disappear for a bit to speed through his own chores before coming to find you no matter what task Imperator had you up to. When you finished you two would then go to the dining hall for dinner where you’d make faces and hand gestures to each other from the tables while the ghoul pack and your friends respectively tease you both. It didn’t take much longer before he started to sleep over every so often. 

As the months crawled on and the first tour date came closer you began to see less of him which made your heart oddly heavy. You tried, and failed, to not think too much about it. You obviously didn’t like him, he was just being friendly. You saw the way he interacted with the other ghouls and some other Siblings or the way he acted when you would sneak a peek at rehearsals. He was just affectionate! He liked attention! But he only walked with you. He only got up early to meet you. He only looked at you doing dinner. He only followed you back to your room. And his purring helped you sleep so much better than any weighted blanket. And the way his tail always betrayed his emotions. And how his eyes always lit up when he spotted you. And maybe your heart skipped a beat when he once confided in you after a rough rehearsal saying that you made him feel grounded. 

Aw, shit was all you could think as you felt your cheeks heat and the list of reasons grew. You shook your head slightly to clear it and returned to the task at hand. You had been working on a massive project for Imperator that needed to be finished before the band went on tour. It’s taken up practically all your time, you barely had time to get proper meals in. That also meant you’ve been having less and less time with Phantom. You could tell it was definitely affecting him just as much. The moments you two did get together he was even more clingy, if that was even possible. He also seemed more tired, he still was rather energetic, but he definitely seemed toned down. Your suspicions were confirmed when he got back from a longer-running rehearsal and his quintessence sparked to life without him even noticing. He also took to sleeping in your bed every night now, burying his face deep into the crook of your neck and passing out with his tail wrapped around your waist. 

You worked for a few more hours before leaning back in your chair to stretch. Your eye caught the clock on the wall and you cursed. It was well past midnight. Phantom’s rehearsal ended four hours ago. You found a good stopping point and quickly packed everything up and made your way to your room. You were ready to have to spend the night on your own for the first time in almost a month. You were already ragged from working all day and the idea of having your new routine, your only time with Phantom, getting disturbed made you feel even worse. You choked down the burn in your throat as you pushed your bedroom door open. 

“There’s my comet.” 

You gasped and looked up to see a rather exhausted-looking Phantom sitting happily on your bed. He was already in his pajamas and there were multiple books stacked on your nightstand. He blinked slowly and cracked a wide smile. 

You smiled in return and willed yourself not to cry in front of him. However, the way his brows knit together before standing up and walking over to you reminded you. Quintessence ghouls can feel emotions. He crushed you against his chest and kicked up a purr in his chest. You attempted to stutter out a mix of an apology and an explanation, but he just shushed you and practically threw you both backward onto your bed. You didn’t even care you were still in your day clothes, you didn’t want to move now that you were right where you wanted to be. And then you smelled it. The air had suddenly felt electric. The scent of ozone and frost filled the space. You felt a little tingle in your mind before hearing Phantom.

I’m so happy you’re here. I missed you so fucking much. I like you so fucking much. 

Your eyes snapped open. Oh. You definitely weren’t meant to hear that, at least not like this. However, your sleep-deprived mind couldn’t care less at the moment. 

“Hey.” You shifted your shoulder to get him to lift his head from your neck.

“Huh? What is it?” 

You gave him a quick, chaste kiss on his lips before pulling back and kissing his nose. 

“I missed you too.” 

It took him approximately five seconds to really understand what just happened as you sent him entirely offline. When his brain finally caught up, though, he laughed with so much genuine joy that it made your heart beat a little faster. He pulled you so impossibly close to him and peppered your whole face with kisses before leaving a long kiss on your lips. He nuzzled his face right back into your neck as you scratched between his horns. The silence was periodically broken with Phantom giggling to himself and pressing another kiss to your neck and shoulder. This went on until he ended up falling asleep with a slight smile on his face and a purr deep in his chest. 

You curled into his hold and never felt more content in your life. You closed your eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep soothed by his rumble and his weight. 

Okay. So maybe you did like him. Just a little bit.

baby fever || vinnie hacker x reader

vinnie’s periodic visits to his hometown were always a big deal in the hacker household. once his mom caught wind of his upcoming return to seattle, she immediately created a group chat with his relatives, inviting everyone to a family barbecue.

they were all quick to accept, excited to see the infamous hacker boy, and even more so his girlfriend, y/n. his whole family absolutely adored the girl ever since vinnie first brought her home with him a little over a year ago; and she loved them just as much. they were all so welcoming towards her even when she was incredibly nervous during their first encounter, and kind through all of the jitters that followed. if you were to ask her, she made an absolute fool of herself that entire day. however vinnie assured her a hundred times that was far from the truth and her “pretty little mind was playing tricks on her”.

—

the couple arrived in seattle much earlier in the morning than either would typically prefer to be awake for, greeted by the unvarying gloomy weather that comes with a seattle spring. immediately, the pair gravitated towards the bed as soon as they made it through the doors of their airbnb. the faint sound of rain tapping against the window lulling their already tired bodies right to sleep.

they napped for most of the day, tangled in each other’s arms, until both were abruptly woken up by the ringing of vinnie’s phone. reaching his arm out to grab the device, wanting to quickly put an end the loud noise, he answered the call.

“hey mom,” he mumbled.

y/n couldn’t hear what maria was saying on the other end, but based on vinnie’s responses she assumed it was something that would require her to get out the surprisingly comfy bed she was very much content in.

“mom wants us there in an hour for dinner,” he said after hanging up.

“noo, i’m too tired. i don’t wanna get up,” y/n responded, smushing her head further in the pillow as if that would hide her from going anywhere.

“i know. trust me i would much rather stay in bed with you all night,” he smirked. “but my whole family’s gonna be there.”

this instantly made y/n shoot up, slightly freaking out. “shit i forgot about that. i need to shower, i feel so gross after that flight. and what am i gonna wear?”

“baby calm down, it’s okay. it’s only a barbecue, you don’t have to dress up or anything. you could wear sweats and you’d still look perfect,” he replied, placing a kiss to her forehead, knowing that always calmed her.

“but it’s your family, vin. you know i like to make a good impression. i don’t want them to think i don’t care.”

“why? they already love you more than me,” vinnie joked, although he wasn’t so sure it actually was one. his family was utterly enamored with her, more so than he’s seen with any other girl he’d previously brought home through the years. but then again, he couldn’t blame them, she was perfect after all.

“you know that’s not true. now c’mon, let’s go shower,” y/n said, dragging her boyfriend out of the bed and into the ensuite bathroom, both shuddering at the contrast of the cool tile floor compared to the warm bed they were lounging in moments ago.

“damn if you wanted to see me naked, all you had to do was ask.” vinnie teased, sneaking a grab at his girlfriend’s ass, making her jump.

“that’ll be enough out of you,” she deadpanned, despite the giggles that left her mouth.

—

as if by magic, the couple made it to vinnie’s childhood home precisely on time, even with the inevitable funny business that took place in the shower, adding more than just a few minutes.

they were instantly greeted with the loud welcome of the boy’s entire family, hugs approaching from all directions, including y/n’s legs, prompting her to look down to see vinnie’s baby cousin squeezing her legs, wanting some attention from the girl.

y/n bent over in attempt to get closer to the little one, “well hello there cutie. what are you up to?”

however the little girl didn’t answer. suddenly getting distracted when she saw the tall, messy haired boy standing next to y/n. “vinnie!” she squealed, reaching her arms out for him.

vinnie scooped her up in his arms. “what do you want, monkey?” he smiled, resulting in the small girl to burst out in a fit of laughter.

as vinnie continued to mess around with his adorable cousin, y/n was swiftly whisked away by his mom who wanted an update on anything and everything that’s happened since the couple’s last visit.

while engaged in a conversation with maria, along with a few of his aunts, y/n helped prepare the copious amount of food that looked as if it could feed an entire army. how many people were they expecting? she thought to herself.

although, the girl wasn’t much help. too distracted by watching vinnie play with his younger cousins across the room, she almost cut her finger chopping up some tomatoes. she decided then it was best to leave it to the professionals, instead doing what she does best: munching on some chips.

the kids were running around and climbing all over vinnie, but he didn’t seem to care; he was too occupied with the tiny two year old that laid in his arms who seemed to be just as infatuated by him as he was with her. y/n couldn’t help but smile at the sight, he was so gentle with the baby while also keeping the other kids entertained around him. she couldn’t look away, it might have been the cutest thing she had ever witnessed.

it had the girl thinking about how great of a father he would be to their own kids one day. even though she knew they were still very young, being only a couple years into adulthood with a lot of life left to live. seeing vinnie with the toddler made her want to forget all that nonsense and make a baby as soon as they got back to the airbnb that very night.

maria noticed y/n was in her own little world, having missed the last few minutes of their conversation. following her eyes to see what had the younger girl so dazed, she immediately understood. as her boys started to get older and mature into fine young men, maria began to get more and more excited about the idea of grandbabies in her future.

she didn’t say anything to the girl beside her, but only grinned, knowing she apparently had the same thing on her mind.

—

ten short minutes later, vinnie’s dad walked through the back door with two plates full of hot dogs, hamburgers, and one veggie burger made just for y/n. she thought it was so sweet how they always remembered to make something for her with no question about it.

“food’s ready!”

grabbing the specially made burger, a handful of fries, plus some yummy looking mac and cheese, y/n settled onto the couch beside her boyfriend. “hi bub.”

“hey baby,” he replied placing a kiss on her cheek. “what have you been up to? haven’t talked you all night.”

“i was helping your mom get dinner ready. although i don’t think i did much. i was a little distracted.”

“how come?” he said half paying attention, too busy shoveling food into his mouth.

“because of you” she simply stated, now gaining his full attention.

“oh yeah? why’s that?” he said with a smug look on his face.

“because you looked so cute playing with the kids. and don’t even get me started on you with the baby. i’ve never seen something more adorable,” y/n said slightly blushing once she glanced up to see vinnie intently looking at her. beginning to get shy, she quietly continued, “just had me thinking.”

he took the plate of food from her hold, placing it on the table in front of them before pulling the girl onto his lap.

since the couple’s first date, vinnie knew y/n was the one he was going to marry, the one he would have kids with. he knew they would eventually grow old together and stick by each other’s side through everything else life brought their way. with that being said, he always got extreme baby fever whenever he saw his girlfriend with kids. even just the way she was so nurturing towards his cat, hera, had him feeling domestic.

he was thrilled to know she felt the same way after seeing him with his baby cousin; but kept it cool, not wanting to overwhelm her.

noting how quiet the girl had become, he brushed some of the hair out of her face, placing a kiss to her forehead. “what are you thinking about in that brilliant mind of yours?”

“how much i would love to go back the airbnb right now and start a little family of our own.” y/n answered, not leaving room for hesitation, which had vinnie’s cheeks now turning red at her unusual bluntness.

“i mean i’m down if you are,” he smirked.

“baby i was kidding. as much as i would love a mini you or me running around, we’re too young. we got a lot of time left, plus i want you to myself for a little longer.” y/n giggled, leaning her head on the boy’s strong, but comfortable shoulder.

“well i guess we could always just practice for tonight,” he countered, a sly grin on his face leading y/n to roll her eyes.

—

the two cuddled on the couch for a little longer once they finished their food, discussing everything they planned to do while on their short trip.

feeling the couch shift under them, the couple noticed vinnie’s mom now sat next to them with a big smile on her face, happy to her son so in love.

“so when are you two giving me grandbabies?” maria asked candidly.

y/n and vinnie just turned to each other and laughed.

not soon enough, they both thought.

a.n. not sure how i feel about this one but it’s been sitting in my drafts for weeks so i figured it was about time i post it. hoping to start writing more again and get out of this rut i’ve been stuck in, but we’ll see how that goes… all my love 💌

[imlivinginyourtrashcan]

Hi hello and howdy

Since I can't contain my thoughts here's all the "Mirage" logicistics. Basically they either swap or enhance ones personality, heres a few examples:

Mirage Lenore is way more looney and impulsive, with a practically nonexistant off switch having to be dragged off screaming before she sets anything on fire, her group mainly sticks with her for fear of their own lives and she and Annabel are ALLOWED TO BE GAY!!! HOORAY!!! They still have the pretend to hate each other thing but thats mainly due to Annabel's paranoia

Mirage Duke is a shit magician who constantly looses parts of his tricks, he's also like WAYYY too overdramatic, the kinda mf to fall over if you steal his chip,

"MY CHIP!!"

"Its... its just a crisp.."

"I WAS GOING TO EAT THAT!"

"Oh my god..."

So yeah, pathetic cringefail looser LMFAO, but he is the kinda person to pull a "OMG MY BEST FRIEND! MOVE!" And shove whoever out of his way

Mirage Pluto is if you took a wet cat and made him a golden retriever. He's very hyperactive, social, easily distracted. Mf is like "wanna hear abt my hyperfixations?!" Talks and doesn't wait for an answer a neat thing i did with some characters Mirage's is i inverted stuff abt them like hair, emblems, all that. He still thinks M! Duke's magic is cool

Mirage Berenice is a feral little creature, constantly biting or nibbling on things (mainly Eulalies arm, or her own. I dont think chewlery exists in the victorian era). She's also the queen of being unhinged, in spectre form shes somewhat normal at least. For the most part she's in her own world

Mirage Eulalie is the mean autistic, less into creepy/old things n thinks their lame and/or weird. She's the one dragging Berenice around and keeping the gang from falling apart. Her and M! Morella really out here sharing the only group braincell, shes also blunt as fuck and wont hesitate to tell you you look bad. I wanted to lean more into the japanese part of her character so she just kinda- speaks more of it now (lol idk how else to explain it)

Mirage Morella, like M! Eulalie, is a mean autistic. She's less emotional, and more of "I dont give a damn just get me out of here.", sticks with whatever group she's feelin that day tbh. Won't tell you you look bad, will probably just call you a dumbass and leave

Mirage Annabel is kinda like regular Annabel but without the "Life is like chess" mentality. So more jumpy, kinda a walking talking mental breakdown waiting to happen. Excess paranoia and increase of hallucinations cus pookie and I decided we aren't giving her a break

Mirage Prospero is no longer fancy and polite, he is sopping wet germaphobic wet cat. He will go through great lengths to avoid disease, faints around blood and puke, screams at the sight of his own rats (or just rats/bugs in general), actively raising his and Annabel's blood pressure with how scardy he is.

Mirage Montresor is imo the funniest one cuz he's just a polite little gentleman, doin all the chivalry shit like opening doors, pushing chairs in and out, saying his pleases/thank yous/welcomes, he's even calling everyone "Sir" and "Ma'am". He's still an asshole, but you really gotta provoke him to see that

Tbh, I didn't think much abt Mirage Will since Will to me is kinda just there as Monty's lackey who gets kicked around. SO he's less of a pushover, more demanding, up and refuses what people tell him, bullies M! Monty, he tried bullying M! Ada and M! Morella but bro got his ass kicked. On top of it, he's unfortunately more sexist and stubborn. No more people pleasing ig 🤷‍♀️

Finally, Mirage Ada. What I wanted to do for her is have her be an absolute girlboss who is always serving 100% of the time. Everything she does is her choice and for her and her friends, and and and shes Aroace too, pretty chill when she has to reject someone just like:

"Hey i like u"

"Oh! I don't feel the same but we can still be friends?"

"Ok"

EPIC HIGH FIVE

She also beat M! Will up, good for her

So uh, yeah! Thats all i got. If you have questions, feel free to comment or ask in the askbox. :)

How do gatherings look like in your rewrite? I always found it a bit silly that the cats only really talked to members of other clans briefly while waiting for the leaders to start, and then after the speeches everyone leaves immediately. Guess it makes for better drama that way but......i just want these cats to befriend more people outside their own clan

I think they do it to keep scenes focused on the information they wanna impart, but, come on. Let the cats live a little.

In my rewrite, here's how an average Lake Gathering goes! Forest Gatherings were a bit different.

Shellfur arrives with ThunderClan, just after sunset, when the full moon is faint in the sky. Today, they are the first to arrive. Usually WindClan is first, so Shellfur is antsy and worried that maybe Fernstripe won't show up.

So he decides to help Sorreltail and the kitchen crew set up, just to keep his paws busy. They uncover the pot from its fern hiding place and start gathering bowls of lakewater to fill it. Finchpaw is excited to have her last gathering as an apprentice and so is helping enthusiastically, which is tradition.

Flamepaw on the other hand is bellyaching as always. Just before Shellfur snaps at him to remind him this isn't mandatory, WindClan streams in. Now there's plenty of apprentices and kitchen patrollers to help, so Shellfur slips away before he says something mean.

He's been trying to be nicer these days, else Spotfur won't let him see his nespring.

Old friends are brushing up, sharing smalltalk, talking about the weather and how the kits are doing. See, the gathering isn't OFFICIAL until the leaders announce it when all four are present, so Shellfur is trying soooo hard to not immediately split off to hang out with Fernstripe.

That's because Clan leaders want all their warriors on display when each Clan arrives. Some kind of political display. Shellfur can be patient, though, because soon he won't have to hold back his affection for Fernstripe.

SkyClan is next today. They tend to enter in a very disorganized way, the most eager warriors arriving before Leafstar herself. They have a much looser hierarchy than the Forest Four clans.

ShadowClan is usually last, but today they're fourth. Heartstar LOVES her dramatic entrances, so she bursts into the clearing with a running start, bounds up the tree, and orders her warriors forth with a yowl. They charge in a straight line, some of them doing little tricks as they enter. Show-offs.

And last is... RiverClan. No one says, but everyone knows, that this will be Mistystar's last. They typically swim towards the island, allowing the moonlight to shine on their pelts like liquid starlight. But today they have taken the bridge, and the warriors walk gracefully behind their aging leader.

When the leaders call for the Gathering to begin, you must listen to the speeches before breaking off. Shellfur believes this is because it would look bad if no one cheered for their own Clan's announcements.

Once this is done, the Gathering begins in earnest.

Shellfur and Fernstripe listen to a story from Elder Mosspelt of RiverClan, of how she helped Mistystar escape TigerClan so long ago.

Later, Shellfur watches with ardor as Fernstripe is beaten by Rootspring at a game played with little stones and a grid scratched in the dust. It's the first time Rootspring has smiled in a while, but he doesn't know how good Fernstripe really is at Scratchstone. She let him win.

He needs to impress her, so he whispers to Sorreltail to set aside a crayfish from the Paw Soup for her. Sorrel gives him a wink and a coo. Fernstripe loves trying new things... Shellfur does not, but for her, he will have soup with a mud bug.

Time passes. The moon is hanging low. Any leader can call for their Clan to leave whenever they please, but any cat can say the magic words.

"I'll catch up with you later."

That's what he says when ThunderClan leaves the clearing. A few stay behind. Duststripe is one of them, Dewnose is another.

When the leaders are all gone, there's a second Gathering. This is when cats discuss other things, harmless, but codebreaking nonetheless. Honor-siring, goods-trading, sharing forbidden foods like kittypet kibble.

They usually make a second version of Paw Soup together. Someone called it Foot Soup and it stuck. Whatever was left over, plus some extra spices, this one usually has fish and kibble. It's a lot stronger than regular Paw Soup so Shellfur didn't think he'd like it, but he was surprised when he did.

And most importantly, he gets to be with Fernstripe. REALLY be with her, brushing, snuggling, getting actual relationship advice. It's like a safe haven.

But he's truly over the moon today, because tomorrow, he will wake up next to her and they will go home together. This is their last night at the Aftergathering, from now on, they won't be regulars anymore.

Before the moon is gone, so is everyone else. Gone back to their own Clans, where divisions are deeper than chasms. Fernstripe asks him if he's ready. He says yes, of course.

An Act of Infinite Optimism

Apollo notices it quickest.

Some might say he could have been quicker on the uptake, which, okay, rude. He’d like to see this hypothetical some do any better, considering the circumstances.

He thinks he can be forgiven for being somewhat distracted given he and Trucy found Lamiroir unresponsive inside an instrument case.

So no, he doesn’t notice while he’s sent Trucy to get help, staying to make sure Lamiroir keeps breathing, that whoever hurt her doesn’t come back to finish the job.

(Every time he blinks, Mr. LeTouse’s face swims in front of his eyes, gasping his last terrified breaths as Apollo can do nothing. He’s not letting that happen again. He won’t.)

But once help has arrived, after Ema’s let them ride in the squad car with her to the Hickfield clinic, and they’ve received the news that Lamiroir is going to be all right?

Things fall into place fast enough to give him whiplash.

It’s the first time Apollo’s seen her without her mantle, is the thing. And his brain, in between being desperately glad she’s okay and dutifully recording her account of the attack, absentmindedly notes that she has the same stickity-up cowlick Trucy gets whenever her top hat is removed.

It must be a thing that people with that kind of wavy hair share, he assumes, as they have the same pseudo-curls framing their faces and fighting to escape the confines of their respective hair ties. True, Trucy’s hair is a much darker shade than the singer’s, almost verging on black, but apart from that, she could have a career as a Lamiroir impersonator later in life. It may not pay as well as magic, but she’d be able to pull it off. Especially with how similar their noses are.

In fact, call him crazy, but Lamiroir’s eyes and Trucy’s are practically the exact same shadOHMYGOD.

“Polly?”

“I’MFINE!” Bursts from the Chords of Steel before he can stop it. “I, uh. I stubbed my toe!”

Trucy cocks her head to the side, squinting at him. “How? There isn’t anything to.”

“I stubbed it. On my shoe.” Apollo lies.

Trucy’s squint only gets more pronounced, but thankfully Lamiroir’s real doctor comes in with the chart that corroborates her testimony.

She doesn’t bring it up as they head back to Sunshine Coliseum to see if he can get anything more out of “Uncle” Valant, but Apollo’s mind keeps darting between the evidence for the actual court case which is his job and the evidence for this completely insane hypothesis that‘s probably a product of stress. Or sleep deprivation. Or both.

He just needs proof that this is nothing but a delusion. Then it’ll stop bugging him.

Which is why he awkwardly asks, “So, if Valant was partners with your father, was he friends with your mother too?”

Trucy freezes.

Only for a moment. To anyone else, it looks as though she’s smiling bright as usual as she follows along beside him.

But even without his bracelet tightening around his wrist, he can spot her fingers pinching the folds of her cloak.

“I dunno! I mean, she musta been, since Uncle Valant and Daddy were best friends and partners!” It’s almost impressive how she deflects the question.

“But you’re not sure?” He probes gently. “Trucy, if you don’t wanna tell me, it’s okay. I trust you, I just wanted—“

“No, it’s fine!” She grins, a brilliant performance. “I can’t really remember Mommy too well—Daddy always said when I was really little, one of her tricks went wrong and she vanished! Somewhere where even Daddy, who’s the best magician of all time, couldn’t find her! Unlucky, huh?”

“Yeah,” Apollo says, screaming internally. “Unlucky.”

Spotting Ema spraying for blood in the hall where Lamiroir said she was attacked is so great a relief Apollo thinks he might faint.

“Trucy, do you think you could try to find Valant for me?” He leans against a wall in what he hopes is a casual way, crossing his legs. “I’m kinda worn out from…everything, and you probably have some magician experience that lets you know where he’ll pop up, right.”

Trudy gives him that suspicious, squinty look again, before she snickers.

“Really, Polly, I’m not that delicate! You can just say, ‘oh I need to go to the bathroom’, you don’t need to dance around it all the time!”

“WH—!” Apollo sputters, “No, I—!”

“Feel free to take your time, Polly!” Trucy sing-songs as she skips away. “I’ll bring Uncle Valant to the stage when you’re done!”

An aggravated groan drags itself out of Apollo’s chest. He cares about Trucy, but he’d really appreciate it if she stopped trying to kill him with embarrassment.

“If it’s that bad, you could always use the staff bathroom.” Pipes up the detective behind him. “It’s down the hall and—“

“I DON’T NEED TO!” The Chords of Steel interject.

At Ema’s disapproving glare, he clears his throat, focuses on his volume modulation. “I just, uh, needed to talk to you about something. In private.”

Ema lowers the spray bottle. “About the case? But why send Trucy away?”

“Not…about the case, exactly? But it’s not unrelated, per se…”

“I haven’t got time for riddles, Apollo.” Ema says, folding her arms. “Just spit it out already!”

Apollo exhales.

“I think Lamiroir might be Trucy’s birth mother.”

Ema stares at him.

“This isn’t just because they have brown hair and blue eyes, is it?” One hand begins to rifle through her satchel in a now familiar search for Snackoos. “Because I have brown hair and blue eyes, Apollo, and last I checked the only family member I’ve got is coming up for parole upstate—“

“No, thAT’S—?!” Apollo focuses on forcing his voice down to a harsh whisper. “Okay, fine, it was kind of based on that, but your eyes aren’t the exact same color as Trucy’s. Lamiroir’s are. And the similarities don’t stop there!”

At Ema’s doubtful gaze, he persists. “Plus, Trucy said her mom ‘vanished’ when she was little, which lines up with Lamiroir saying she can’t recall any of her past before she and Machi got their start—even if she did, Lamiroir may not recognize Trucy now she’s gotten older, especially since she only has Trucy’s voice to go on! Trucy herself admitted that she was so young, she had very little memory of her birth mother! And, she introduced herself as Trucy Wright, not—!“

“Okay, okay.” The sharp munching of Snackoos cuts off his tirade as Ema continues. “You have a lot of talk. But that doesn’t actually prove any relation between the two suspects here. Could just be a whole load of weird coincidences.”

“Suspects?” Apollo mouths to himself.

“No, what we need is definitive evidence.” Ema shakes her head, popping one last Snackoo into her mouth. “Decisive evidence.”

She flips her glasses down over her eyes. “And the only way to get that, is through Science.”

Apollo blinks at her, overcome with a looming sense of foreboding. “We?”

“Yes, Apollo.” Ema grins victoriously. “We.”

feeling the rumble of their chest when they talk while cuddling / peterpatterlina

Luke blinked his eyes open, seeing the pale pre-dawn light filtering through the blinds, and heard the faint trill of bird song in the trees. It was early-too early to be up really, but sleep and Luke had never been fast friends-when he was up, he was up.

Unfortunately, he was also forbidden from disturbing his spouses before eight on a weekend-both Reggie and Julie loved to sleep, and he was currently trapped between them in the bed.

Which wasn't bad at all, they were warm and snuggled in, looking adorable and sleep rumpled, their soft breathing hitting his bare chest, almost making him shiver now that he was aware of it.

"Papa?"

Luke looked to the open door, where Danny was standing, clutching Mr. Bear in one hand and his favourite blanket in the other-the same one they had brought him home from the hospital in. It had patches from all of their flannels on it-a mixture of all three of them, with a soft underside that came from Luke's mother, ecstatic to use her crafting skills to make something for her grandchild.

"Hey buddy, bad dream?" he asked quietly. Danny it seemed had inherited Luke's relationship with sleep, but the boy knew he was always welcome to come into his parent's bed.

"Uh huh. Snuggle?" Danny asked.

"Sure thing little dude, crawl on up, just don't wake daddy and mami," Luke cautioned. "Or Luna."

"Baby," Danny whispered, looking over to the bassinet in the corner of the room where baby Luna was slumbering. She had her own room of course, but she had just recently started sleeping through the night and Julis insisted she stay with them until they were sure that trend was going to stick.

Danny plopped himself on Luke's chest, and Luke grinned, running his hands through the boy's chestnut curls, so similar to Luke's own bird's nest of hair. His skin was a shade lighter than Julie's, and his eyes more golden, with flecks of LUke's own hazel in there. A perfect mix of the two of them.

Luna was all Julie, only with Reggie's freckles and green eyes. But gosh, they were beautiful kids.

"Wanna tell me about your dream?" Luke asked. Danny shook his head, laying his head down, Luke's heartbeat steady in his ears.

"Story," he murmured before sticking his thumb into his mouth.

Luke chuckled. "Daddy is really better at those, but I can try." He rubbed his broad hand over Danny's back. "Okay, once upon a time there was a sad but beautiful princess."

"Mami?" Danny asked.

"Well of course," Luke scoffed. "So one day the sad princess was listening to a song from these minstrels who played many many years ago. Only to make them appear right before her!"

Danny looked up at him with wide eyes, enraptured. And if there was one thing Luke loved, it was a captive audience.

"So these minstrels were actually ghosts-but not scary ones, they just wanted to make music. But only the princess could see them and make others see them when she sang with them," Luke continued.

"What happened next?"

Luke turned his head and there was Reggie's cheeky grin, resting his face on Luke's shoulder. Pressing a kiss to the skin there before blowing a raspberry at Danny to make him giggle. "You tell the next part Reg," Luke insisted.

Reggie hummed, but then nodded. "The princess had to use all her cunning to make sure no one knew the minstrels were ghosts, because people would be scared, so she told them it was a well known magic in the land. People came to love their music, and asked that they perform at a local ball."

"Only a wicked troll tricked the minstrels away," Luke hopped in, keeping them away from the princess-she was very sad."

"She forgave them though."

This time it was Julie who was speaking, her voice a little sleep rough, but her eyes were twinkling. She held up a finger and sighed as she heard soft cooing from the corner, quickly fetching Luna who babbled happily at seeing her family. "Yes Miss Luna Boo, this story does have a happy ending, don't worry."

"Tell the rest Papa!" Danny insisted, snuggling down further, his family on all sides.

Luke chuckled, and nodded. "Of course buddy. Well the princess and the minstrels won the chance to play for the whole kingdom. One last song, or so they thought..."

"The troll tried to get them back, to steal them forever," Reggie continued. "But they fought to rejoin their princess, even though it was hard, and almost disappeared forever."

"But the princess loved them so much she saved them," Julie concluded. "Bringing them back, and falling in love with two of them. Until they had a prince and princess of their very own."

"And that's you mijo," Luke said, kissing Danny's nose. "And Luna."

"I a prince?" Danny asked.

"Sure are sweetie," Reggie replied, ruffling his hair and reaching over to stroke Luna's cheek. "The both of you."

"How about we get up for breakfast?" Julie suggested. "Since we're up anyways?"

Danny yawned, and when Luke looked, Luna had already drifted off. "How about we nap first?"

"You gonna be able to sleep?" Reggie asked as Julie slid Luna back into her bassinet, though she did move it closer to the bed.

Luka echoed Danny's yawn, and smiled sleepily down at his son, then at the rest of his family. "Yeah, just needed the right bedtime story."

Belonging [Ficlet] (Laddie, Star & Boys. Laddie-centric. Vaguely angsty)

-x-

Star tells him that the Lost Boys are bad, that they hurt people. And he might be a kid but Laddie’s not stupid; he knows they do. He knows that when they go out people are afraid of his big brothers, he sees the way people watch them even when they’re just having fun and not bothering anybody.

And when he gets on the back of Dwayne’s bike, he can smell blood on him. It’s faint where he’s washed it off but it clings to him like perfume. When Laddie presses his face into the back of Dwayne’s jacket to keep out the wind when they go real fast, he can smell it in his hair. Like pennies but sweeter. It always makes him feel hungry, and sometimes when they get home he’ll go and ask David if he can drink from the bottle again. Just a sip. Sometimes David lets him. But other times, like when he’s mad at Star, he’ll act mean and say no.

“It’s no good for you,” he’ll say, with that scary look he gets sometimes. He doesn’t look angry, exactly. Just his eyes. “You wanna be one of us, you need to act like it.”

Laddie does. Star doesn’t, he thinks, not anymore. She always seems so sad now, especially when she’s had another argument with David. Their arguments aren’t like the ones his mom and dad used to have; they’re much quieter and nothing gets broken. But that’s what he thinks of when Star draws him away with her and jerks the curtains shut around her bed. She’ll sit with her arms around him like he’s a teddy bear and stroke his hair. Laddie lets her, since it makes her feel better.

Sometimes Dwayne gives him blood anyway, even when David’s said no. Always when Star’s not around. He hands Laddie a battered hip flask and mutters, “Keep this between us, ‘kay?” He scratches at his wrist absently, where the scab is already fading away.

“‘kay,” Laddie whispers back and slurps at the flask like it’s a carton of juice. Afterwards he won’t feel hungry for a while, and is always really happy. He smacks his lips, licking the last drops away from the corners of his mouth. “Thanks.”

He loves Dwayne best, him and Star. But he loves the others too. Paul is always fun and makes him laugh and Marko treats him like a grownup, even if he does get annoyed with him sometimes for what seems like no reason. He loves David too, even if he can be a little scary. Most of the time he’s nice. (Laddie likes his magic tricks. He’s promised to teach him some when Laddie gets a bit older.)

He can’t wait for the day he’ll be one of them and they’ll let him have his own earring. Paul offered to do it for him, but Star had said there was no way she was letting him near Laddie with a sharp object while he was off his face.

(Laddie had looked Paul up and down, faintly puzzled because Paul’s face looked just fine to him?)

They might be bad, but Laddie loves his family.

Years part 2

Masterlist Part 1

Pairing: Aaravos x Female!reader

Slot: Disguise+Spell Books+Mirror breaking+reunion 

Before you left he used his magic to enchant two books,you’d be able to communicate without the bug. He explained everything about Viren and how the dragon king trapped him in the mirror. You started talking about ideas to free him,you thought about destroying the mirror but that might not be the best option. You spent days going back and forth on whether or not to tell Viren about your true identity. It would make it easier for you to find a way to free Aaravos but it would also put you at risk. Being separated from Aaravos for years made you wanna be as close as possible to him or anything that reminded you of him,in other words you had grown reckless and you didn’t listen to him. 

“Viren,we need to talk”

“I don’t have time right now,Y/N”

“I know about Aaravos” He was quiet,waiting for you to say more “You’ll know nothing about him without me,I know more about him and magic that you’ll ever find out by yourself”

***

“Darling” You looked up from your book,meeting his eyes in the mirror. “I found something” Your eyes widened.

“Did you find a way out?”

“No,but I found something else. A way in”

“So I could come to you?”

“Yes. If I don’t find a way out,I could teleport you here”

“That’s-” He quickly interrupted you

“But it would mean that you’d be trapped in here with me for the rest of our lives”

“You make it sound like it’s a bad thing” He laughed.

“If it’s with you,it wouldn’t be. We could do that,you could join me and we could destroy the mirror” 

“Let’s just try setting you free first” You looked back down to your book.

“Y/N” You just responded with a hmm “Promise me,if you’re in any danger or Viren tries to hurt or threaten you,you’ll let me know” You put your book down and looked up at him. 

“I will,but you know how strong I am”

“I know but I still worry,my dear” Your conversation was interrupted by Viren entering the room.

“Did you find anything?” 

“Nothing yet”

“I might have something back in my library” He paused “Back at our house”

“You’re right,humans don’t know that much about magic”

“So you’re saying that we need to go to Xadia”

“It’s dangerous for you to go there,I’ll head back and see what I can find. Just make sure no one finds the mirror and stay low” 

***

Three days later you were back in front of the mirror with the books that were most useful. You found a spell that could release people or spirits from objects,but it wasn’t a spell that wouldn’t simply free him. You needed someone else to take his place,you had the whole castle to choose from but the easiest one to trick was Viren since he’d listen to Aaravos no matter what. You performed the spell,which drained a lot of your energy to the point where you could hardly stand up. Just as you ended the spell,you lost your balance and fainted only to wake up in the arms of your husband.

“You did it,my dear��� He kissed the back of your hand,you quickly grabbed him by his shoulder and pulled him down. Your eyes started tearing up and you couldn’t stop yourself from crying.

“Welcome back,Aaravos”

[timidsteps]

He had a habit of fiddling with the ring that hugged her finger like a promise well-kept. A secret poorly-hidden. She made this marriage thing so fun, and so obvious, and— Well, it was her day. He didn't need to be so existential about how they ended up as happy as they did. Still. As he fiddled with her ring, he wondered if she knew that he knew: today was her birthday, and she hardly made a fuss over it. But why? It wasn't just any day, it was literally the best day, barring none aside from the day their son was born. And the day they confessed. Oh! And the day Inigo came around! And-- And-- ... Okay. Maybe there were a lot of best days, but they were all revolving around the same person, with the same heart, and the same smile.

To be honest, giving her a Risen arm after a few dates did nooooooot go well. And he kept the eyes and tails and weird newts to himself afterwards. But now that he had gotten this marriage thing down, he had to ask... would what he got her be as invaluable as what she's given him? As his fingers twirled her ring quietly, deep in thought, Henry perched the tip of his tongue against his teeth to whistle to himself. Doubt it.

The crows descended from the sky, some perched on his shoulders and others gathered close to keep Olivia warm. But it was his, after all.

"Hey. Olivia~ Wanna see a magic trick?" A crow pulled its head up, with a ring in its beak—smaller in circumference, to go around her pinkie. With a quick flick of his fingers, the ring disappeared from his crow's possession into his own. "Tada! This is for you."

He gently lifted her hand, sliding the small pinkie band onto it. And it pulsed quietly, like a faint heart beat. It's not like it would bother her. (He had low blood pressure, after all, nya ha ha!) "You can feel my heartbeat, can't you? It's connected to the one I have." Flippantly, with a goofy smile to match, he held up his own pinkie. "Matchies!"

"Happy birthday! To be honest, it seems like everything pales like a ghost when I know its yours. And it's you. But here, take it."

After spending a few hours with much needed cathartic crying, Olivia figured it would do her best to simply de-stress by going on a walk with her husband. She very much enjoyed her time with him, and wondered how someone so wonderful was in love with a bundle of nerves like her. Well, it was perhaps best not to try to sort it out for logistical reasons- as making sense of life's nonsense proves to become a difficult challenge to consider. Therefore, she simply chooses to live and to love.

Their interlocked hands swung back and forth like giddy schoolchildren, as Olivia accepts that even if the two are adults, they are still Naga's precious children- two drifters eager to learn the curious oddities of the world.

Specks of black burst forth, the crows offer them their blessings to the two lovers. Henry was always one for theatrics, after all. He knew just what tricks he would need to play to bring a genuine smile to her face.

"Of course." She chuckles sweet and soon a little crow gifts her quite the sentimental treat.

Her mouth slacks, in awe.

With a snap of his fingers, Henry reminds her just what sort of magician he was.

A good one.

Sentimentality has always spoken volumes to Olivia, as Henry finds new ways to showcase his love to the woman he cared most. …On the pinky? A quiet thought , and soon she's shocked by the sensation of the beat of his own drum.

" I can." She says as assuredly as she can possibly offer, while starstruck with bewilderment. She hoped he could feel hers too, pitter pattering all over like the rain that brings the two close.

He always knew what to do. She laughs as he reveals another trick up his sleeve.

"Oh Henry… " the woman laughs, touched by this very well thought and perfectly crafted magic act- observing the bond of their matching pinky rings. "You have my heart too, and that's a promise."

As she crosses the pinkies with one another.

[feuqueerfire]

From Now On, Showtime! Live Blogging

This is actually one of the first non-queer kdramas I added back on MDL after I started getting into BL/GLs because I saw a clip on twitter (from ep 4? idk) where he's doing a magic trick with floating cards with the help of ghosts.

Finally managed to download something onto my iPad to watch on my long-ass commute.

Ep 1 (June 14)

ah he’s a shaman fr

Was that in the past or it happened now?

Ah magician Cha Cha Woong

he’s got ghosts helping him right?

This cop reminds me of the MC of Midnight

Ah ofc the arrow

How’d he even dooo that oh wait was a ghost riding the bike

First meeting

Switched helmet? Will the camera catch Cha Woong being weird w the ghosts

Pls the hearts

Lol the dash cam catching all this convo, he even mentioned ghosts

Ah so grandpa dying was indeed in the present

Oh corrupt Chief Seo is Captain Heesoo’s father

Nooo how did neighbour dad-to-be die

He was murdered?!

Cha Woong is sooooo heartless

I wonder what the dashcam actually recoded though bc i wanna know the crime scene

pls not the ghosties protecting him against her arresting Cha Woong

I was wondering if he'd reveal the ghosts or not - he could still spin it as a silly joke like "ahaha a ghost ofc" but we'll see

Ep 2 (June 14)

lol ghost Mr. Ma (?) reminiscing on his thug days when he'd be taken to the police station

wait are they supposed to be a romance? why did they linger like that on her grabbing on to him? I thought maybe she and the sunbae would become something

who is that guy? some boss at the car place - he easily seems like the one who ran the dude over, though my initial guess was actually the Chief Seo guy - the detective mans dad

...it's not 1004 but there's a car with 1604 near the bakery?

lol the SUV of the company indeed the boss. so if they've found it so quick

ah is this a 2-ep format like Tomorrow? deal with a new ghost every week?

why didn't the ghosts come to get the helmet?

ah, confession under duress - will this actually work? ig it might by drama logic

oh loll this is the card floating trick that I saw on twitter

ah, so they managed to get and restore the helmet, that feels necessary

so is the Chief Seo protecting Seul Hae by not letting her be a detective (since the son mentioned that his father still feels bad about what happened to her dad) or is he covering his tracks by ensuring she can't catch him doing something bad?

so this is softening Cha Cha Woong, I see

ah man love triangle already? Cha Woong getting jealous seeing her and the detective after telling her to never come near him again? be serious

pls T.T this worshipping spirit scene

too dark, idk what's happening but Chief Seo and Seul Hae's dad fighting some spirit? oh he was killed by the full moon murderer? did they ever catch him?

oh i see, he fell off the cliff

oh? that's the full moon murderer? in the fishing village? idk why they're zooming in on his ear - is there a bullet hole or smth? te split on his ear?

or where'd that flashlight come from and who picked it up under the water?

wtf is that voice - slight horror vibes here?

damn bruh, that was Cha Woong's dream/nightmare that the Worshipping Spirit gave him?

ah, Cha Woong fainting and Seul Hae having to hold him up, okay

Ep 3 (June 15)

watched the first half while going to get my covid booster + waiting afterwards

so he doesn't have to be a shaman, just needs to do good things to get thanks from Seul Hae

oh, that's why everyone could see the worshiping spirit, they're all ghosts

plsssss ofc the cops barge in when they're here

The first half of the episode was so boring, my goodness but at least it picked up once we got to the gambler son story

Ep 4 (June 15)

damn some past life stuff?

second lead Heesoo is annoying wtf is "just to clean? this late? just you two?"

damn, what's happening - this creepy vibe

oh second couple? eh

ohh i was like why is he being so nice to this cafe owner but it's actually the ghost's pay i guess?

a dark soul into this Soondong dude's body oof the spirit is killing people on the full moon again but how'd it go into that lamp thing all this time

ah, so Cha Woong's grandpa and the whispering spirit had sealed the full moon spirit and drowned it

oh, Cha Woong and Seul Hae's past life that we saw a glimpse of is from the worshipping spirit's time?

Do we always need a Joseon era past lives connection in these fantasy type kdramas lol I watched Tomorrow recently and that had that too

Ep 5 (June 16)

Thoughts after watching the whole thing.

the full moon murderer at it again and this time he even saw Seul Hae

ah Cha Woong saw Seul Hae’s dad that last day + saw her at the funeral while she hates his grandpa shaman - Aris drug sting ah

the fuckass love triangle stuff is irritating like why are we doing this posturing thing. also the male bestie who is so possessive of his female bestie is a boooo trope

how is he suddenly such a good fighter, the ghosts are helping or what

Ep 6 (June 16)

Thoughts after watching the whole thing.

ah this chief is soooo agh full of corruption

Plsssss side girl’s reading of herself being dangerous and greedy and telling him to be careful

the cha woong fiancé wannabe is such a bitchhhh but she's funny i can’t decide if i like her or not

ahh the argument about grandpa vs father at the police station is great

ohhh i want the chief dead “why don’t you quit the force and find a nice man to marry” um die you fucking crook cheat corrupt ladder climber

at least he gather up 1 tiny bit of courage to go after the full moon murderer even if he returned a decade later

chief is soooooo booooooooooo ew

Ep 7 (June 16/17)

oh, she died because of him? he accidentally killed her?

worshiping spirit's goal is to connect the two of them? what? what was the mistake he made?

so he was a robber thief man and then the evil spirit got him?

ah the sunbae asks her to weekend bowling and now Cha Woong has to also get a move on. he's so silly tho repeating every last word gbye

I wish the evil spirit man wasn't the only one with a limp or some sort of disability in the show

don't kill herrrrrrrrrrrr D:

plssss her arguing with the grim reaper

but now she can tell them the guy who came to beat her up, right? ask herrr

pls can't she just say what the dude was wearing and stuff bc then at least they can check the CCTV again etc

wait wtf, her husband killed her?

The fact that all the pure and 7 whatever have been all women is boring and predictable boo

Ep 8 (June 17)

the evil spirit could tell the husband was "like him?"

oh at least we get one dude with the pure 7 skies thing or whatever

plsss not the bed-sharing to see the ghosts in the video

i wish we got to see a bit more of the aftermath of catching the husband and how the sunbae and his father reacted to it all

oh the people who the evil spirit had buried were the parents of the house?

evil spirit is also from 2000 years ago goddamn but i think we knew that, right? since the ghost was release from the Cha family

Ep 9 & 10 (June 17)

ngl i really don't care about their past lives

a ring magic trick??? be srs

pls why do seul hae and cha woong keep getting into these unintentional couple face-offs

what is this couple's match where only the guys play

ah

plsss the grandma telling him that "aigoo, you have bad taste in women" because he likes yeji

i need the chief to die sooooo terribly like just painfully take that coward out you piece of shit

I can't remember when I went onto the next ep without doing the new ep thing but I guess it's around here.

they really left the evil fucking spirit at a place just like that so that some kids can easily release it fr?

plsssss Yeji has such a rancid personality, she's so funny

ah, is the grandma gonna die?

damn, she's really leading him into a secluded place by themselves? bruv. but ig him somehow recognizing her will save her

ah as expected he too recognizes her from 2000 years ago

couldn't you just have stuck the paper on him, this time of meeting and then nothing coming out of it is annoying

at least Hee Soo sunbae knows the truth about his father and the tragedy 10 years ago now

hm would Hee Soo die trying to get full man murderer?

anyway since early on, the chief and his son's relationship where the father is corrupt and the son wants to seek justice has reminded me of Beyond Evil (it was done better in BE) and I miss that show.

I've also been like ah, this past lives thing reminds me of Tomorrow and I don't care about it whatsoever. let's stay in the present pls

Ep 11 (June 17)

ah, this old-time past-life stuff

oh, he got the evil spirit into the bottle?

yang taechoon is an ordinary man now right, no evil spirit within him - just regular evilness that made the spirit choose him? - though i wonder if he'll manage to free the spirit again or what

oh Hee Soo shot him

oh she can see the ghosts now

ewwwww the way the detectives talk about Seul Hae "she always talks about her goal to be a detective but her goal's to actually be with you" "be careful or she'll put those shackles on you" agh

plsss so funny to see Yeji's rotten personality around the cop dude's mother like oh miss you're gonna regret it

agh we're just going through the past life and it could be okay what with the treats Poong Baek was facing etc but fr is Seul Hae's old life just spent cooing over Poong Baek or what. did i intend to watch a show where our main female lead is just pureness and boy crazy?

Joseon era powerful princess or whoever in high station being kind to the poor people is so eye-roll worthy ngl

ah, that's why the ring is significant

she's sooo cute and pretty and funny pls the way she got a proposal out of him

...aren't the evil spirit man and Cheon Hwa related... like if he's the illegitimate son and his brother is the king and she's the princess, then she's his niece?

bruh 40 minutes of the joseon era past and we still don't know the full story? be serious

Ep 12 (June 17)

man we're still on the past-life train

oh i see, never mind so mans gave his own brother the king of his own kingdom the poisoned concoction, not Seora's king. so they are indeed not related, i was so confused

ah, so he really was a traitor? i thought he's been framed but maybe not?

ah indeed he was framed

why do i always have to watch women be abused or treated as property in these shows like we can have fantasy of seeing ghosts and magic but not enough fantasy to not have women face sexism and abuse?

ah they're finally dying over 30 minutes in, so we'll get to go back to present time

oh damn Cha Woong already told Seul Hae about their past life, interesting I didn't think it'd be such a footnote in their interactions

plsss Cha Woong becoming soooo weirdly sweet now, my man is sooo in love with her (including her past life self lol) and keeps remembering it pls like it's a little weird actually <- ah she thinks so too that he keeps reenacting past life stuff

pls him saying he'll wait for her to kiss him

....would Hae Soo end up being evil? That'd be cowardly of the show to do

ohhh the reason the worshipping spirit is making up for his bad karma with the Cha bloodline is because he betrayed Poong Baek?

bro i needed this flashback to be 2 minutes max but we're getting everything

ahh, Hae Soo pretending (I'm assuming?) that he's just like his dad reminds me so much of Beyond Evil - but also ummm why is that voice sounding? Is Hae Soo possessed by the evil spirit or something

oh fuck they really made Hae Soo be an evil spirit victim. this would've been better if Seul Hae still liked him or was dating him but now it just feels cowardly as a way to remove him as an option

Seul Hae is for real the only female cop and detective

It does make sense that the evil spirit isn't fully gone because it'd be too easy otherwise

Ep 13 (June 17)

plsss even the grandma reading that the son's gf (Yeji) is not a good person

eww hae soo

it's dark, i can't see anything

ah they're together now i guess

i'm glad dongcheol found his gf tho

Ep 14 (June 18)

lmao all the ghosties against Cha Woong and Seul Hae relationship

oooaaaa so Yongryul's not rich and Yeji's gonna end up actually liking him

plssssss Cha Woong unable to help Seul Hae and it being the awkwardest thing on this double date good bye I'm dying

i think Seul Hae could've told Yeji about why he's not helping her lol this is so awkward I'm gonna crawl into a hole

ahh this fire where Areum saves a kid T.T

Ep 15 (June 18)

I have an assignment + homework thing to do ahhh but i just wanna watch some more of this

i need to kill every man in the detective office btw the way they blame and yell at Seul Hae for every fucking thing

ahh Yeji and Yongryul's mom's first proper meeting

why don't we get anywhere with the Hee Soo thing? it's

damn all the ghosties dealt with unfinished business and went to nirvana T.T

oh at least we still get to have Hee Soo in the mirror, so we might still have him return to being an okay person by the end

pls Yeji also has the 7 stars channel thing? how's that possible when she's so rancid, I thought it was supposed to be a pure thing

why'd he even announce himself before just capturing the spirit or whatever

Ep 16 (June 18)

1 last episode ah I should at least start working on my assignment but alas, I'm here...

um???? is this stupid ass breakup because he's gonna be possessed?????? she's in danger and you're leaving her like this? you piece of shit you fuck just tell her the truth

ah Heesoo's father now

bruv ofc Chawoong would hold the knife and ofc the dumbass detectives would get here at this time

the old ghosties T.T plssss

it was sooo small case almost non-existent threat for the past few episodes that it's like what? when it comes to the high stakes of this ep

hmmm would they have truly killed him?

agh fuckass past life again, go backkk idc

wait the worshipping spirit is coming back again or something?

kids?! wtf tiny ass ghosties

ohh their kid Maru is reincarnated worshipping spirit mans lol

Overall:

Funny and comedic with likable characters (even rancid characters like Yeji were charming to me). Nothing too deep, though it had some touching moments. Too much dramatic romance in the second half, I don't care about their royal/shaman past life tragedy and I think that made it kinda meh for me in the latter half.

Rating: 6.5/10

[pacificwaternymph]

sorry but Delilah is epic. Send tweet. Anything about em you wanna share :0?

Well Delilah’s father was kind of a deadbeat. But not in the way you might expect.

See Delilah’s mother came from a wealthy, well respected family of nature witches. Her father was a merchant from nowhere who moved from place to place because no place seemed to want him.

It’s said that when he came to their town, Delilah’s father bewitched her mother, tricked her into falling in love with him and marrying him. But that was never the way Delilah’s mother told it, whenever a young Delilah asked.

The truth is that the two of them did their best to hide the nature of her father’s magic from the village so that he could stay there forever. They fell in love and got married, and had Delilah together. Delilah has faint memories of him from her toddler years. Apparently she looks a lot like him.

When someone found out that her father was an empathic witch and spilled the beans to the entire village, people turned on him pretty quickly. He had to leave, and Delilah’s mother was fully prepared to pack up her bags and go with him, but her father said that it wouldn’t be good for Delilah to grow up on the road, constantly traveling from place to place, never making any permanent friends.

So he left with the promise to reunite with them once Delilah was older.

Of course, when Delilah’s magic emerged, the unpleasantness started. The rumors and suspicion, people keeping their children from playing with her. And because feeling everyone’s hatred all the time was very draining, Delilah spent most of her childhood inside. Her mother left her because she was afraid, not of the magic itself, but of Delilah’s obvious lack of control over it.

Delilah eventually grew up and decided to go on the road like her father. Somewhere along the way, in an effort to get a handle on her abilities, she started studying psychology and anything she could get her hands on about emotional control and intelligence. I’m thinking she went to a school for it at some point?

And then she started helping people with her newfound knowledge. She’s still on the lookout for her father, but it’s taken a backseat to being a therapist.

Another emperors dragon to follow the last one??

———

Emperor Tengfei: *hurries into Jias palace and gently places Tai Lung on her bed wiping the makeup from his face with his sleeve* Wake up, please wake up- *gently grabs his wrist and the jade bracelet* how much has my magic faded?! I couldn’t even protect him from Jia Guifei’s scheming!! I want her head! I want the heads of everyone in her family!!!

Wu Long: your highness the great dragon will be heartbroken if you seek cruel revenge in his name-

Emperor Tengfei: Jia Guifei wanted Wu Guifei dead and harmed him to make it happen! I refuse to be lenient on her punishment!

Empress Xian: *gently pats Wu Longs shoulder, go get some clean water to clean his face properly… *smiles reassuringly at him*

Wu Long: *nods* yes… *nervously steps out*

Empress Xian: Tengfei… the doctors have arrived, we must give them some space.

Emperor Tengfei: I won’t leave his side… I won’t let it happen again… *taps the bracelet making it suddenly crack into two* … *holds it up to the lantern light noticing an oddly red colouration behind the green stone* …A faulty cut. No wonder my enchantment failed… Li Yu.

Chief steward Li Yu: your highness?

Emperor Tengfei: Go to the treasury house. Bring me four jade bangles. Unless it’s purple or green I want no other colouration visible… I won’t let him get hurt again.

Chief Steward Li Yu: *bows* yes your highness. *turns and hurries off as the physicians enter*

Physician: Your highness. You must let us examine him in private, if he is carrying a grave illness we cannot risk it transferring to you. If something strong enough to bring down a heavenly body inflicts your own, we fear it could be detrimental to your life…

Empress Xian: It will only be for a moment dear…

Emperor Tengfei: *sighs and stands up before looking at her and taking her hand giving it a kiss* I know… I’m just fearful for his health…

Empress Xian: as am I dear, and I worry for your health as well. Come, they’ll let us back in in a moment.

*A few moments later*

Emperor Tengfei: *quietly pacing, now holding a box with four jade bangles. Two for his wrists, and two for his ankles, looking visibly concerned but internally trying to figure out how Tai Lung figured out what his enchantment really was and how he managed to break it* …

Physician: *steps out* Your highness. I have great news.

Emperor Tengfei: well? What’s wrong with him?

Physician: it seems his heavenliness was so busy visiting all the noble ladies today he simply forgot to eat, and upon consuming a few cups of wine on an empty stomach he simply got dizzy and fainted. I’ve sent for the new chefs to prepare something filling for him but I’m afraid I cannot get him to take this hangover tonic. Perhaps he might be more receptive to you?

Emperor Tengfei: *nods* I’ll see to it.

Empress Xian: *stands up* I will go ensure the kitchen prepares his favourites and I’ll gather some more rest appropriate attire for him. I fear moving him in this state would only agitate him.

Emperor Tengfei: thank you, Xian.

Empress Xian: *bows respectfully and hurries out immediately making a b-line not for the kitchen, but to Ling Guifeis estate to enquire about why Jia would think Wu Guifei would poison her with basil seeds…*

Emperor Tengfei: *steps into the bed chamber to see Tai Lung now on his feet, giggling and twirling about, now only in the under dress of his costume, makeup mostly wiped off minus his eyeliner and a light tint to his lips* Great dragon-

Tai Lung: Your highness!! *laughs and runs to him hugging him tight before letting go and twirling about again* did you like my dance??? I tricked that bi- *hiccups and staggers back*

Emperor Tengfei: *quickly catches him and lifts him up to put him back into bed* Great dragon you mustn’t over exert yourself in this state.

Tai Lung: *whines and swishes his tail trying to make him put him down* but I wanna daaaance!!!

Emperor Tengfei: *gently places him back into bed and immediately grabs both of his hands holding him back from getting up, now daring to assert some dominance over the situation* Tai Lung.

Tai Lung: *feeling like a child being scolded and pouting up at him* you’re being mean…

Emperor Tengfei: I’m mean because I’m tyrannical. And I’m tyrannical because I care about you. *gently strokes his cheek* I care about you so much Tai Lung, please let me look after you, let me make sure nothing else can ever hurt you again… *easily slides on the first bracelet enchanting it to shrink onto his wrist as the first seal*

Tai Lung: *so drunk he didn’t even notice* are you stillll going on about that needle? I caught the culprit so you gotta let yingluo go now~ I win~ you gotta spend the rest of your life making it up to me~

Emperor Tengfei: *slides the other one on tightening the seal to a point where no ordinary human could escape it* I will great dragon, I’ll devote my life to you entirely. *gently strokes back his hair from his face before proceeding to remove his shoes and socks* so let me start by getting you ready for bed.

Tai Lung: *whines and kicks his feet playfully* I don’t wanna sleep I wanna daaance!! I was having fun and you ruined it!

Emperor Tengfei: *smiles and shakes his head* Did I now?… *slides on the third and seals it onto his ankle* I apologise Tai Lung, I was so afraid when you fainted I feared Jia Guifei had harmed you again… *slides on the fourth shrinking it to fit his ankle and moving to place the final enchantment*

Wu Long: *steps in with a basin of water and feels his blood turn to ice seeing the emperor about to imprison him like he did his mother* I- *steps forward pretending to trip and spraying the water all over the emperor breaking the ritual* Y-your highness! F-forgive me- it was an accident!

Emperor Tengfei: You-

Tai Lung: *suddenly kicks tengfei in the face as he scrambles from the bed and and stumbles into Wu Longs arms* Wu Long!!! *smiles and hugs him tightly nuzzling into him* the emperors being mean, an the drs want me to drink stuff that looks like pee and tastes like an old sock!!

Wu Long: *standing there nervously* f-forgive me your highness. Please allow me to give him his medicine while you change.

Emperor Tengfei: *seething with anger but deciding 3 seals is good enough for now, gets up in a huff storming out of the room*

Wu Long: *sighs with relief and quickly starts ushering Tai Lung back to bed* that was too clos-

Tai Lung: *gently kisses his cheek* thank you for saving me…

Wu Long: …Youre welcome, Tai Lung…
