"but if aziraphale and crowley become human in the end it won't be fair because they'll only have a handful of decades to spend with each other :(" ok. well have you considered that their time together would not be any less valuable or happy if it were limited. have you considered that we wouldn't appreciate anything as much as we do if it weren't finite. have you considered that crowley and aziraphale have always, always only ever wanted to love and live like real people do like humans, without heaven and hell breathing down their necks, without judgment and constraints. that alpha centauri probably wouldn't be as beautiful up close as it is from earth, through human eyes. that the biggest miracle in crowley's eyes is aziraphale and vice versa. that yes their time together may be limited but it will be the sweetest most fulfilling most peaceful time either of them have ever lived, and when one finally goes gentle into that good night, he will know he's got nothing to fear, because the other will be waiting for him on the other side- he always will, in any decade, any century, any lifetime. have you considered any of that?

Diasomnia request: Reader was born in Titan time (before the gods. When the earth was still very fresh) reader's father had committed a terrible crime, which is why he was cursed to never die, to be punished forever for his crime. However, he managed to get the curse passed to Reader. How do the Diasomnia people react to the fact that Reader can never die? And that they have experienced everything that has happened so far (wars,etc) (you can write for the other dorms too If you want.)
Diasomnia's Immortal Reader
TW: Mild Swearing, Sebek being a dick, Talking about lifespans
Info: Headcanons; Malleus, Lilia, Silver, Sebek x Reader (can be read as either romantic or platonic)
Summary: In the title
🍓I really should've thought about my situation more before opening this account. School is rough, I hardly get a break, and when I do I want to spend it with my friends and relax. I'm hoping I can dedicate myself to writing more, so I decided to try out something short and sweet to kickstart my ass back into it. Thank you for requesting <3
Malleus Draconia 🐉
Pleasantly surprised.
You’re not secretly Fae, are you? Some kind of… monster? No? Hmm… how curious.
He could probably find a way to lift the curse if you wanted…
He could definitely lift the curse.
He just finds you endlessly amusing. Humans are fascinating… immortality isn’t exactly a curse in his eyes, but you dislike it. Peculiar.
Once it’s explained why you have this curse he understands why you’re so upset by it, but he’s still naive and young. He doesn’t see the full extent of what immortality has done to you.
He’s a little… overwhelming with his curiosity about things. He has a ton of questions, and he asks them.
Wants to see if you know anything about the history of Gargoyles that he doesn’t. (You definitely don’t.)
Most of his questions center around the war — his family namely. He wants to know an outsider's take on what happened, how his grandmother came to power, his parents passing… everything.
He’s never met a human like you. You’re practically a dream come true for this goofball.
Lilia Vanrouge 🦇
Oh! How interesting!
Immortal humans, now that’s a rare sight. Not that it’s impossible, it’s just that humans aren’t usually… immortal. 
His curiosity to your past may be more overwhelming than Malleus. Question after curious question. 
He’s never met someone like you! He’s usually the oldest, wisest one around. It’s a very nice change of pace to have someone… ahem… his age to talk to.
It isn’t unlikely that he’s heard about your story before, he just never had a face to the poor cursed soul.
He feels bad for you, and if you asked he could find a way to lift your curse somehow, but respects you if you don’t want it lifted.
Lots of discussing about history with him, and he enjoys hearing your opinions on how humanity and fae society evolved over the years.
He makes you feel normal about your situation, because his situation isn’t too different.
Silver ⚔️
Like his father? 
Thats his first thought.
His second thought is confusion because… you’re human? Wtf?
After his initial shock… he’s pretty cool about it. I mean, he was raised by practically immortal creatures it isn’t too big of a shock to him.
Not a big question asker. 
He understands that you have your own story, you don’t owe him any explanation and if you want him to know you’ll tell him.
When you do, he’s like… damn. 
You’re invited to family dinners. Lilia won’t be cooking, he promises that.
Family is a core part of who you are, and your’s was shitty. You don’t deserve that, so let him be your new one! Lilia sure would love to have you around.
He never calls to attention your extended life line, or your past, or anything that might make you feel strange. He’s just someone you can be you around.
Sebek Zigvolt ⚡️
Annoying ass mother fucker <3
Assumes that you’re fae, a bit of an odd one, but that explains your immortality.
Jaw DROPS to the floor when he learns you are human. Biggest, most dramatic gasp you’ll ever hear from his ass.
It doesn’t make any sense to him, you’re gonna have to explain it to him to get him to calm down.
Then… he’s sorta an asshole about it. It’s Sebek. What do you expect?
Definitely says something like ‘Of course a human got themselves cursed!’
Truly though, and he won't admit this, he’s just as curious as his fellow Diasomnia members about you.
Probably tries to ask Lilia about you and gets pushed back in your direction.
He comes to respect you in a way. I mean, sure you’re human, but you’re immortal and have a lot of life experience. You can’t be all that useless after all these years.

MONSTER TRIO PUNISHMENT. (Dressrosa)
(!!! Title says it. You are being shared by three monster who are strong enough to rival pirate's worth more than their own bountry, even combine. Unluckily, in dressrosa, they punish you.)
Warning: Yandere | Mature Content | DRESSROSA SPOILER | Inability to seek help | Poly Relationshop | etc
Tumblr media
read more! [you'll never knew how much i'm in for this. Plus this has been my whole imagine for days, can't keep my hand on pockets and starts typing down scenario! Love y'all and this is really hard, and i meant it– HARD to write.]
Your breathing become heavy as you watch the rest of your group runs to Dressrosa. Your heart are filled with excitememt as you stare at the toy's and human's who are un-usually cooperative with each other.
You might say this is childish or what but you have a thing for toy's even in your age. Maybe it's because it's a recollection you have that something to do with your parent's, toy's become your only accompany when they die for some reason's.
You look at your below when you feel someone–rather something tugging a dress that hugged your curve pretty that really suit's you whatever your size is. The color also blend amazingly to your skin color that without a doubt: make's you outstanding among women. And a mascara to hide your face since you have a pretty and decent bountry above your head.
"Are you a tourist, miss?" A toy in a form of a little human robot ask.
You slowly nod, still feeling unusual to a toy talking in their own will, plus they're also acting without a proper guide of someone. An incredible creation!
"Hmm.. Yes, why'd you ask..?" You are pretty sure yourself you blend with the crowd, — your style does'nt differ from others.
With the interaction, The three men who have stayed to your side voluntarily gaze at it. Their eyes locked to each other before looking at your way, seeing your little figure talking to a toy, who are obviously a man.
"Since your beauty is really outstanding, if i've seen you before– i without doubt follow you whenever you are."
At that sentence, as if a cue: your eyes gaze at the place where the other's stay earlier. And unfortunately but expected, three certain man have their eyes on you covered with pure raging jealous and possesive eyes.
You gulp before you look down at him and smile nervously, wanting to end the unconcious conversation you motivate him to continue.
"W-Why— that's really flattering! Though kinda creepy if you ask me," Truth. Experiencing man following your every movement is creepy, even add the fact you yourself have longed experience that.
Though, a wrong move you done to reply to his flirt. Without a single warning and great coated presence Haki, a kicked landed on the toy. You gasp as you saw Sanji kicked the toy, your mouth left agape as you see how much pressure have set on it. Even with the little beard that hide his lips, you could see the little smirk he pulled off.
Before you can even run toward the toy, a hand grip your wrist and a force of stretched hand hug your waist. With a little thud, Luffy possesively claimed you whole to the spot, making you un-able to move plus the way Zoro have taken off his hand that gave you a warning pinch.
With that, a crowd form around you. And little after, two men who are obvious a standing staff, or guard of Island landed in front of you.
"What seem's happening here, sir— mam?!"
You can't answer, since you can't even say a reason when the truth is it because one of your boyfriend snap since he is jealous. You'll be damned and sure get judge, and hated attention the most.
"He is hitting on my girlfriend, knowing she have me already. We are tourist here, i thought he is nice, quite the opposite." Luffy quickly answered
The crowd gasp, you're a little hopeful for them to move you away and interogate them for a misunderstanding since the toy seem nice. But all of it are wipe out as they release a word that seem's doubtful.
"He have human disorder!" One of the citizen shouted.
Without the toy explaining, you watch the guard quickly and harshly picking the toy who are moving a little and toss them in a so called disposal.
"I'm begging forgiveness, Madame and Sir! Toy here are made to be just a toy but a lot of them think they're actual human's and sometimes have their imagination reach heaven; flirting or suggesting they knew someone even that someone never have a recollection of them," The guard explain.
With that, the rest of the crowd leave the four of you. Though the gazes, glaring and surely incoming warning for punishment did'nt leave you. Add the fact that Luffy have a boner poking your ass from his back hug.
Tumblr media
Your eyes have tear's pooling on them as Luffy have his cock in and out on you, Sanji's cock on your ass and Zoro who are gripping your head while you suck him off.
Quite shameless but this is your punishment. In a alley near crowd places the three of them decide to fuck you dumb, knowing if you can't contain your vocal: you'll have the whole island knew your slutty side.
You are riding two cock's as Luffy and Sanji lay down and look at their dick dissapearing in your hole. Your whines that sent vibration to Zoro which he whimper in return, this is too good to be real; but lucky people like them can have this everyday.
"What a slut," Zoro commented, "Taking three cock in this place."
You whine as you bounce yourself on the cocks that sending you in your high. Those tit's bounce as you eagerly thrust yourself on each, the way Zoro grip your hair and force you to take his fat cock did not help as he hit the inside of your throat.
"Don't be harsh to Y/n-chan," Sanji hum as he enjoyly watch you bouncing. He inhale the smoke as he release it on your back, giving you a cool moment that made you want to cum on spot.
"I'm sure he just love the way my dick inside her ass."
"Huh? What'd you mean?"
And with that, the two fight: the only thing different is the way they speed their thrust on your hole. Your eyes roll down in pleasure as Sanji hug your body and hold your waist, bouncing you deeper in his dick that also made you feel Luffy who you knew the longest out of them.
Your eyes form heart as Zoro thrust himself, and have your mouth wide open as he pound his big dick that made you lose your breath for a moment only for him to gave you space also but for a spare moment to make you choke. But it did'nt make him startle a bit.
Your pussy leak again, feeling your high as Sanji hit the sensitive spot in you. Your hand flew to Luffy as he thrust himself too, thinking that raising the speed is 'fun' but pleasurable painful for you.
Your cunt burn as all of them drill you, your eyes have tears pooling as you moan and whine. Their moans and grunts, especially Sanji who behid you and his moans are sent on your ear, and Luffy who have his face stuff on your breast as he moan and gave kisses.
With that pace, you can feel the knot tightening inside you. You two thrust yourself, have your moans rapidly increasinv in volume.
"Fuck, Fuck– I'm near!" Zoro grunts as he thrust in your mouth, drool's all over your mouth and face with some precum that leaks.
With Luffy hitting all the spots that's delicious, the sensitive inside you. Your hands flew to his chest as you attempt to push him. No luck as he did'nt even have to be work up as he is far stronger than you.
Luffy giggle in your breast, as he sucked your nipples who are hard and sensitive.
"Ah!"
Few more thrust of the boys, each of them stuff their loads at you. Heavy pants can be heard as you tiredly rest your body to Sanji who happily hug you in return.
Drool's mixed with Zoro's seed gather in your breast as it leak, Sanji and Luffy's load also pouring down as it was alot for your pussy and ass to take care off.
And yeah, this is one of the scene where you– are being punished.
But please, don't forget that you are in public! So people giving weirded look's are expected, darling:)

Tooning in 4. Dev Ross part 4 of 7
Tumblr media
DL: Yeah. Well the episode all’s Fahrenheit in love and war? Process of that episode?
DR: I believe that was a script doctor job. They weren’t please with..uh.. the first writers take on it, so i took it over and redid it.
DL: Well do you remember people like John Behnke, Rob Humphrey, and Jim Peterson? They were the creators of quack pack. They wrote for darkwing duck.
DR: Not really. I didn't interact with them
DL: Well but you know them right?
DR: Of them only. Our department was getting really big by then.
DL: Well you know Doug langdale? He was working the same time as you on DD, goof troop and bonkers. Also Aladdin.
DR: Yes, I knew him but barely
DL: Well, he went in to do great things. He’s working with Hollywood producer James wan on samurai rabbit for Netflix.
DR: Nice! I no longer follow any animation as I only work in live action now.
DL: Yeah! Well we’ll save that special project until the end of the interview. But don’t worry we’ll come back to it.
DR: No worries.
DL: The darkwing Duck episode, up up and awry. Process on that episode?
DR: Don't really remember anything about it
DL: Oh well it was your lowest rated darkwing episode on IMDb. 6.9 to be exact.
DR: Well, you can't please all the time.
DL: Time and punishment? Process for that episode?
DR: My inspiration was that Christmas movie where an Angel takes Jimmy Stewart forward in time to see the effects on his family and community if he committed suicide!
DL: Oh it’s it a wonderful life, eh?
DR: Right! Are we going to go thru every episode I wrote because I really don't remember... Tad and I would sit in his office and just throw around crazy ideas. He was fantastic to play off of. So many times we'd come up with concepts just by riffing. We'd talk about movies, books, look at comic books, the news...
DL: By note, yeah it would be redundant to just go over every darkwing Duck episode you wrote .
DR: Thanks! I would have to excuse myself then. I don't think about the old stories ever! A writer must stay current or die
DL: Writing for The little mermaid for Disney and CBS .
DR: Horrible experience.
DL: Why was that?
DR: I had come back to Disney after being lent out to Universal. I was assigned Little Mermaid but my story editors never came into the office so we couldn't riff on ideas like I used to with Tad. Their was hardly anyone around then and very uninspiring. No team work or comraderie. I was really unhappy so quit soon after. I went freelance then and only worked with Tad and Kevin Hopps. I worked a bit with two other story editors but again no teamwork there.
DL: Oh. Kevin hopps was a sitcom writer. He wrote for Norman lear.
DR: Yes! Great talent and great human being!
DL: I know. So, did you watch the original film?
DR: Which one?
DL: The 1989 film with Jodi benson? The classic box office success! Putted Disney in the map again and started the Disney renaissance.
DR: Yes, I did!
DL: Thoughts on the film?
DR: It was charming. Songs were fantastic! May I ask you a question?
DL: Sure, Go ahead!
DR: I don't want to sound rude, However, I wrote for Disney so long ago. I don't understand how my thought are even interesting on such old work. How my thoughts are even halfway interesting on why I wrote something. I'm curious as to what you will do with my answers.
DL: I’ll post on my blog. My job is to know about the writing process of the episodes of some shows.
DR: I'm not ungrateful, just wondering.
DL: As a interviewer. As of saying.
DR: Most staff writing processes are the same. We team up to throw around ideas to see what sticks.
DL: Hmm. Ok.
DR: I mean it will more interesting to talk more about the dtv films.
DL: We pitch ideas to our producers to see what interests them. They may like half of an idea from me and the only half from you and then tell us to construct a story out of the blended ideas. That's the way it works.
DL: Ok. Can I ask you about Aladdin : return of Jafar?
DR: That was totally a group think story. A dozen of us sat around and spit balled ideas. We agreed on one the broke up the story with each of us writing a section of the movie.
DL: Was it true that the film was a pilot for a tv series.but Michael Eisner didn’t know how to release the show, so he told you to make a pilot film?
DR: I don't remember.
DL: Well that’s what most people say. But it was the most sold video in 1994, next to the lion king!
DR: Right!
DL: Did you got a cut of the VHS sales?
DR: No! Staff writers only got salary. It's how most animation writers get ripped off. My films for Univeral made millions but I got nothing but a small fee for writing.
DL: Oh, I’m thinking about theatrical films. Now they get the money from the films.
DR: Depends! It depends on their agent!
DL: Yeah. So you wrote 4 episodes of cro for children’s television workshop/film Roman and ABC. Tell me what was cro?
DR: It was a show all about math.
DL: Oh. So how would your episodes work with a premise of cavemen and math?
DR: Vey difficult! You have to know the conceit of the show.
DL: Oh. What age were they approaching to?
DR: Very hard to write for!
DL: So how was CTW in general, The creators of Sesame Street?
DR: Loved them!
DL: Can you tell me about them.
DR: Just very smart and innovative thinkers. I love that! I love working for out of the box thinkers. They also appreciate crazy creators like me.
DL: well were you happy mark zaslove was the story editor on the show?
DR: Mark was brilliant but was a very tough boss. Very talented and very demanding.
DL: well did you feel upset when the show got canceled?
DR: No!! It was a very hard show to write for!
DL: Well apparently CTW got upset, that's why they created the cable channel noggin.Did you know that?
DR: No.
DL: well yeah. going back to disney, you wrote for bonkers and jungle cubs.
DR: Yes. Hated Bonkers.
DL: why? was it a roger rabbit ripoff?
DR: I believe so. It just wasn't a good concept. Character was horribly unlikeable. Not at all fun to write for.
DL: who was? bonkers or  lucky? or in season 2, miranda?
DR: Both... I didn't write on season two and barely on one. I shouldn't say both, definitely Bonkers. I think so. It was a bad ripoff.
DL: well question. why anyone make a show about a cartoon in a cartoon? that makes no sense.
DR: Exactly.
DL: thoughts on the president of Disney TVA, frank price? he was your boss on jungle cubs and return of jafar.
DR: No opinion. I had enough on my plate being a full time writer with three kids!
DL: oh. well moving on to jungle cubs, how was writing the humans must be crazy?
DR: I liked that show a lot but was freelance by then and only did 2 episodes.
DL: oh how did you feel about the jungle book characters but as babies, a la muppet babies?
DR: I liked them a lot. It is always fun to imagine what an adult was like as a child! I think that about people I meet!
DL: well did you like the orginal film?
DR: Loved it!

The February-2023 writing update and some very important info.
It’s been a year since I stopped sharing my writing to ao3/publicly. I took inventory again. During this time I have 1) overall written ~580k words (go, me) 2) at the tail end of it managed to publicly share 7k of them, all g-rated, all allegorizing the same stuff (not immigration, for once 😳). Go, me? No, not really. The credit for convincing me goes to someone else. I'm still locked in a battle with myself regarding my reservations about sharing anything else online again; it's starting to feel like I just don't possess the emotional capacity to overcome these reservations in full, but I'm not giving up.
The rest is the same. Yes, you can request private access to my main stuff, the methods for contacting me are in the pinned post, blah-blaaah, you probably already know the drill, sup bruh how's it going.
But, as this one question and this one issue have been popping up again and again over the last few months, I’ll just say it here for convenience. 
First off, the answer to that question: yes, it’s free, of course it’s free! I would never monetize/publish my writing. señor_chang_have_you_met_me?!.gif  
Second. The issue. If you already have access or aren’t interested, please disregard, carry on, and have a good day and a salad. 
Here goes.
Louder for those in the back: writing, however hard the process, is its own reward; sharing isn't. You've done enough damage already. Please don't make sharing into a punishment.
If you’re about to contact me and ask me to share with you directly, I would implore you to first go/return to that very same pinned post, to its very first line, click the link behind the ‘why?’ of me no longer sharing online, and read what’s there. And then I would like you to take a few moments to ask yourself if you’re doing something described in that post — or doing something generally inconsiderate.
If you, for instance, having never reached out to me before in any capacity — even the One-button Pressing and ‘thanks I enjoyed reading this’ capacity — are about to ask me to send you the link to uuuuh, something that took me two years to create; so that you could … binge hundreds of thousands of words and, still just as silent, yeet off..? Or if you’re about to ask for this link while informing me how excited you are for ‘more hot threesomes’ and how much you love my ‘porn’ (...I just...oh god why, WHY).  
Please, I beg of you, at least try to get self-aware for a second. If you personify one of the reasons why I stopped sharing publicly, yet now you want me to share with you directly, please ponder: whatever for would I be doing that? More disillusionment? Higher therapy bills? What comfort, support, communal bonding, friendship, education, enlightenment — and dopamine — does this miserable sod stand to gain from sharing her writing with you, o Silent Lurker/Mindless Consumer of ‘Content’/Person with a Raging Fetish/Person Who Thinks That Allegory Is A Reptile From Florida? 
Hmm? What’s that? You’d be bestowing upon me the miracle and gift of you gracing my unworthy scribbles with your priceless attention?
Heard this one before, more than once. More than a dozen times. Actually, I lost count by now. That misguided, social-media-induced, performative-everything-induced, clout-or-die, late-stage-capitalist, voyeuristic notion that a thing has no ‘value’ until it’s getting seen and that one should feel grateful for being clicked on. Or that writers like me aren’t humans, but just these free vending machines that exist solely to supply you with ‘content’, and shouldn't beep out of line.
I'm sorry, but I actually like my writing and have a lot of respect for myself, my time, and my effort.
I am not a machine churning out product for you and your insatiable consumption needs, untreated childhood traumas, and specific fetishes; I'm a living being.
A living being who is writing exceedingly personal things and looking for meaningful interactions and connection. Looking to trust.
Otherwise, there is no point for me to share my writing with anyone but friends and loved ones. For the same reason why Abed never returned ‘Time Bandits’ to Blockbuster.
And Clicking things isn’t engagement; botting programs click things. Haters and plagiarizers click things.
If I was fine with the status quo, I would have continued sharing everything to ao3, without any dubious acrobatics.
Plus, I’ve got some safe validation at home. 
So I can do without this ‘miracle’ (that's actually just your entitlement and ignorance speaking) and I'm sure you can get your ‘content’ elsewhere, and I'm sure someone else would be happy with being silently-stalked and/or treated like a business. Personally? Pass.
I do not want you as a reader.
All of the buffoonery and yapping aside; it hurts to see this shit again and again and again. To be honest I no longer even bother replying to some of those messages. Sometimes I just block, run for hugs, then do my best to move on, not cry, and not feel heartbroken. The astonishing levels of entitlement, the utter lack of self-awareness — it's painful to witness. The fact that people like this are almost always from the USA, white, and in their early twenties, is also very telling. And horrifying.
…No? Not you? All good? Expressed your support/appreciation before? Are self-aware, mindful, emotionally mature, and considerate? Perhaps you even like to correct other people’s grammar? Do understand that I am not in any fandoms and am not interested in ‘blorbos’ and ‘headcanons’? Actually mean it when you say you like my writing? Did not fail to notice which one is tagged as [if you only read one work by me]? Would not be opposed to chatting sometime? Want some pomegranate molasses on your salad? Agree that Roland Barthes should be resurrected for a minute just so I could slap him with a catfish? That’s awesome, then please feel free to message me and poke me for the link(s), it’s some really good shit. 
Update, done.

V3 Boys x Pregnant S/O in the Killing Game
Warning: DRV3 Spoilers
Tumblr media
“S/O is what?!”
He panics and freaks out.
Calms down as soon as you tell him that you’ll get through it with him. It’s just all the more reason to survive.
“But Gonta… no can put child in this hell!”
He has a fire in his eyes that you honestly wouldn’t expect from him. You have to try your hardest to convince him not to fight Monokuma, out of fear of him being punished.
“Gonta will try to survive…for Gonta and S/O’s kid.”
He carries you everywhere from now on, not wanting you to strain yourself. If you ask, he puts you down, but will hold you and keep you close by.
During Class Trials, he immediately shuts any suspicion down.
“S/O can’t be culprit! Was with Gonta!”
You tell him to be wary of Kokichi, as you think Kokichi doesn’t have good intentions with your boyfriend. He just gives you a smile.
“Kokichi wants to end killing game just as much as Gonta!”
When all of you go in the simulation, Gonta makes sure you’re okay and that the baby’s okay. You don’t exactly look pregnant in the simulation, but he still makes sure. After that, he goes off to watch Kokichi, and you’re left to explore on your own.
To make a long story short, when Miu was killed, you noticed Kokichi giving you the side-eye, but didn’t say anything to him. You could tell he knew something that you didn’t.
During the Class Trial, the “Killing Game Busters” were revealed. You didn’t want to believe it was Gonta. You really didn’t. He would never hurt someone like that without a purpose…
“S/O, take care of Gonta’s baby. Gonta will be watching over you and baby!”
You sobbed as you watched his execution. The father of your child was burned alive, and he was never coming back.
Instantly, you unleashed all your rage onto Kokichi and his crocodile tears. Several people had to pull you off of him, claiming that the stress wouldn’t be good for the baby.
Besides, you could hit Kokichi with all the punches in the world, but nothing would bring him back…
Tumblr media
 Laughs when you tell him about it.
Laughs the second time you tell him about it.
“It is even funnier the second time!”
Doesn’t laugh the third time.
“Wait a minute. You can’t be serious-?!”
Hope you valued your alone time while it lasted, because that is now a thing of the past!
MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!
Lets everyone know that they’re not even allowed near you. He keeps you in his room at all times, you barely even get to sleep in your own bed anymore.
He only really lets you out during Class Trials, and even then he convinces Monokuma to put his podium next to yours.
Constantly talks about how happy he is that he’s going to be a father, to the point everybody knows. Even the Monokubs are a little bit annoyed.  So much for keeping it a secret.
“Hmm, nope! It can’t be me, sorry! I was too busy spending time with my child and my girlfriend~”
His logic is that since you’re pregnant, maybe nobody would kill you because they would feel too bad, so he doesn’t really mind screaming it to the world.
The longer the game goes on, though, the more fucked up things he feels compelled to do, in his efforts to try and stop the killing game.
You practically scream at him when he pretends to be dead.
“Aw, don’t worry your pretty little head! I’m alright, aren’t I?”
Maki keeps sending her threats for him to you.
“If you want to raise the child with a stable 2-Parent family, I suggest you calm your boyfriend down.”
During the fifth trial, things are very tense. Either way, your boyfriend was either dead or going to die. You knew it was all a part of his scheme, but you still thought this was a step too far.
When Kaito was revealed in the Exisal, you bawled your eyes out.
Even as Shuichi explained Kokichi’s thought process, it made nothing better.
You didn’t even get to say goodbye…
And your child would never meet his father.
Tumblr media
Wait, you’re what?
Oh no.
In a killing game?!
Oh no.
And he’s the father???
Oh NO.
You’re surprised that he doesn’t faint, by the way he’s acting.
“S/O, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to, really!”
You tell him that it’s okay, because you know he’ll make a great parent. You’ve made him a little more confident, but not by a lot.
“We should probably keep this a secret for now. You can never really be too careful in these circumstances.”
Everyone can tell something’s off with him, because he gets really bad Couvade syndrome.
He still tries to help you as much as he can. If you’re craving something he brings you it almost immediately.
If your stomach moves even a tiny bit, he assumes the baby is coming even though he knows better. You have to tell him that it’s only a kick and he needs to take it down a couple of notches.
“Heh…sorry.”
His anxiety is through the ROOF.
Still tries to work on it. He’s got to be strong for you.
Trains with Kaito to help him become stronger, and brings you along with him.
“Hey Shuichi, don’t you think S/O might want to train with us?”
“It’s okay Kaito, S/O gets really sleepy during this time.”
Tries his hardest during class trials. He can’t afford to take shit from anybody and risk getting you killed. Hits the killers with the hard facts and evidence.
Investigates with you by his side.
“Now the baby can see his father in action!”
At the 6th Trial, he reveals your pregnancy, even though Tsumugi already knew.
Nobody else did. How? Guess they weren’t paying attention to your ever-increasing stomach.
When everyone ducks under rocks, Shuichi shields you with his body for extra protection. After the two of you make it out alive, along with Maki and Himiko, the 4 of you go off to start a new life together.
Tumblr media
“WHAAAATTTT?!”
Thinks you cheated on him.
He’s very hurt.
You spend almost an hour convincing him that he’s the only one you’ve ever been with. He still doesn’t really believe it, but there’s only one thing to do.
The two of you consult Miu to figure out what in the hell is going on.
“Miu! I never wanted to actually have sperm and be able to create life! Now our child is going to be born in such horrible conditions!”
“Well, be more fuckin’ clear next time, and wrap it up when you get your dick wet, why don’t you?!”
Looks on the bright side.
He was able to get you pregnant, something no other robot was able to do before! That’s a complete win!
You’re still stuck in this school, though, and this was no place to raise a child.
“Robots aren’t allowed to hurt humans, and I can’t risk you killing someone and losing the trial…”
He helps you the best that he can. He gives you any medicine that he can find, and he lets you use him as a heating pad.
Scans daily to see your state of health. Sometimes more than necessary…
“I just did this scan 5 minutes ago? Oh, I hadn’t noticed…”
Takes pictures of your stomach every day to monitor your growth.
Kokichi always makes fun of the two of you.
“Well, I guess that answers my question! Robots do have dicks! Hey S/O, was it all cold and metallic?”
“…that’s not funny.”
When it was revealed during the 6th Trial about Danganronpa, he was conflicted.
The voices in his head– the audience– told him all different things. He was tired, he just wanted to be free. He didn’t want your child to grow up in a world like this.
“S/O, if this continues, and the kid we created joins a future season, I’d never forgive myself. It’s time to end this. Please, when you see them, let them know their father loves them so.”
He sacrificed himself by blowing up the school. As he saw his friends and his significant other huddled beneath a rock, he grinned, knowing they were going to be okay.
Tumblr media
Scoffs.
“Well, that’s just my luck that I would cause you to have to bring a new life into this horrible world.”
He’s honestly pretty upset over the whole thing for at least a couple days.
But then he realizes it; he can raise them to be better than he ever was or had a chance at being. He can teach them to do better.
This makes him happy, and he apologizes for being so stand-offish.
“Looks like… we’ve still got a ways to go.”
When the two of you lay down together, he always lays down in a way that his ear is directly pressed against you stomach.
He talks to the child a lot.
“Don’t worry, little one. We’ll get you and everyone else out of here and to safety. I love you so much.”
Truth be told, he’s a little scared that he’s a  threat to the kid. After what happened in his past, what happened to his family, what happened to his lover…
You tell him to try to not think about it, and you know that he’s learned from the past.
The two of you only tell a couple people that you trust; namely, Shuichi and Kirumi. They’re both really happy for you!
Kirumi helps out a lot by getting you whatever you need for the day. She doesn’t get at all bothered by your morning sickness, and even offers to clean.
After the motive videos come out, Ryoma watches his and though he’s a little hurt, it doesn’t stop his determination to leave.
While she’s cleaning Ryoma’s room, Ryoma confides in her for advice.
“I feel like…I won’t be enough for our kid. Look at me now, I’m nothing more than an empty shell. I just… want to be enough for our family.”
SLAM!
Ryoma fell to the ground with a light thud, and that was the last anybody ever heard from him.
Crying out as you saw the piranhas tear away his flesh, you fainted on the spot.
You didn’t even have time to investigate, because the Class Trial had started.
You appreciated how seriously Kirumi was taking this trial. She kept making glances at you, but you assumed it was because she felt bad that your child would have to be without a father.
Until…
No, it couldn’t be. She’d gained your trust, only to betray you in the end? What kind of sick joke was this?!
As she was executed, you looked down at your stomach, rubbing it.
“Looks like we’ve still got a ways to go, kid…”
Tumblr media
Wildly switching between happy, sad, and terrified.
On the one hand, he’s happy to be a father to your child. You were the love of his life, and he wanted to do his part and take care of the kid.
On the other hand, when you tell him the news, he paces back and forth, trying to find a way to get you to be as safe as possible. He already survived one killing game, how hard could it be to let the two of you be the last survivors again?
He asked Monokuma to see if you could have the easy way out.
“Monokuma, I know you probably want me to still participate, but my girlfriend, she’s pregnant now, so can you please just-”
“Puhuhuhu~! All applications made are final, buddy! It looks like we may just have another member in a short 9 months! Well, the more the merrier!”
Shit.
After that “lovely” conversation, Rantaro was more determined than ever to find a way out of the game.
He’d already lost his sisters, and he wouldn’t dream of losing you and the child too.
When the countdown motive for the first murder is introduced, he parts with you for just a few minutes, to record the videos that you and your other classmates would later find. He wanders in the library in order to do something, but he’s distracted when a shot put ball falls behind him. As he goes to pick it up, he’s struck in the back of the head.
Finding his body, you wanted to throw up, and not from morning sickness. 
Nobody knew of your pregnancy yet, so nobody really knew how deep into despair you’d fallen.
Though, they still felt sorry for you, because it was obvious the two of you were together.
You didn’t feel right being angry at Kaede when she was revealed as the culprit, especially as she showed deep remorse.
“I didn’t mean it, S/O. I’m so sorry…”
Tears pricked your eyes as she was snatched back by the chains.
You forgive her.
Tumblr media
Over the moon at first.
Yes, that’s a pun. Shut up, I know it’s bad.
This man is DANCING while he’s celebrating.
“WOO! I”M GONNA BE A FATHER!”
He’s loud enough that everyone knows within 10 minutes of you telling him.
Well.
When he has some alone time, he frowns to himself. He’s sick, What if he doesn’t live long enough to see their smiling face for the first time? Hear their first laugh?
These invasive thoughts clouded his mind, as he started to cough up blood.
“D-Damn it…”
Kaito decided not to tell you, not just because he’s an idiot, but he doesn’t want you to stress and possibly cause damage to the child.
He talks to your stomach everyday.
“What’s up, my little star!”
He’s extremely proud and isn’t afraid to show you off.
The more ill he gets, the more hope he has that you’ll be just fine. You have to be!
After he’s locked in the bathroom, he tries to find a way out. Any way out, he needed to make sure you were safe. Kokichi couldn’t keep him locked up forever! 
When he and Kokichi make their deal, he does it in your interest.
“If Monokuma can’t solve the murder, I’ll finally get to walk out of here and start my family! Right?!”
But their plan failed. As you watched his execution, you screamed, pounding on the screen, begging Monokuma to let him go, please. You’d do anything! Soon, his coughing got worse, and he was soon on the ground, pink all around him. He’d died of his own accord.
You smiled happily at the bittersweet moment. He died of his own accord, no longer a part of Monokuma’s twisted game.
You knew he was above, watching you from the stars.
Tumblr media
“Did you say you’re pregnant…? My, what an interesting turn of events!”
Did this man just say it was interesting?
You told him that this was serious, and that you needed to find a way out of here now.
“Keheehee... you don’t really think I’d let anything happen to you, do you? It’s clear Monokuma won’t let us go, even under these circumstances. Besides, I have my own kin developing inside your body, you need extra attention now!”
He will literally give you a tsunami of compliments everyday about how your body seems to be handling the pregnancy.
“S/O, your body is just so radiant today!”
Tells you stories about motherhood in other cultures.
Knows the best herbal remedies to calm symptoms such as headaches or nausea.
Nervous that you keep having to go to the bathroom, guides you there and back.
You really don’t know why he completely lost his shit by killing Angie and Tenko.
You convinced yourself that it was because of the oppressive student council, but why Tenko?
As he revealed his true self, you were horrified. He...was a serial killer?
The Korekiyo you came to love was a serial killer?
You were thrown into despair as you came to terms with his true colors. Nothing made sense anymore. Not only was your boyfriend and father of your first-born child dead, but he’d been batshit insane this entire time?
Maybe the next time you see red rope and hear a promise of “pleasure like you’ve never experienced”, you’ll politely decline.

Unexpectedly Bitten
Vampire!Henry Cavill x Reader
Summary: Your ex gets into some trouble with Vampires, and his mistakes lead the bloodsuckers back to you. After seeing you, one vampire gets a little attached and he’s taking his time deciding what he plans to do with you, but whatever it is, you’re not afraid. In fact, you might just be a little attached to him too.
Warnings: cursing, smut, violence. (Count on spelling mistakes or repeating words too often. it’s very likely.)
Notes: Folks I did my very very best. I am so bad at chaptered fics, it’s insane. But I tried. As always,  Let me emphasize this: there is little rhyme or reason to the way this story is broken into parts. 
This is a Vampire!Henry x Reader story where each chapter, while chronological, is a different conversation or event during the course of their evolving relationship. 
Words: 1606
Part 7: Change
You were breathing. That’s what Henry kept repeating in his head when he relived that horrible night in his sleep. His body would shoot out of bed, drenched in sweat, and he would have the agonizing thought that he failed. But then he would look to his left, and there you were. You were breathing.
His days were filled with watching you to constantly reassure himself that he hadn’t lost you forever. Every time your breath hitched in your sleep, his did as well. Every time he nearly dozed off in his chair, he shook himself awake for fear that the change hadn’t fully taken hold; that maybe he was too late after all.
“She doing any better?” Henry nearly leapt from his seat at Chris’s voice. His friend walked over after shutting the door quietly behind him.
Henry ran a hand down his face. He needed to relax. He was getting jumpy. “Shouldn’t be much longer.”
Chris pulled another chair up to Henry’s side and joined in monitoring the rise and fall of your chest. “Are you alright? It’s been a while.”
“This is my fault,” Henry rubbed at his brow with a groan. “I cut it too close. It’s taking too long for her to heal.”
“Do not hate yourself for this, Hen,” Chris said, lightly slapping his friend on the back. “She’s alright. I would’ve done the same if I still had a pretty little human I was so desperately in love with.”
“She’s not human anymore.”
“You didn’t have a choice.”
Henry shook his head, denying his friend’s answer to feel the full weight of disappointment in himself. “Elias seemed to think the same, but…not from the same perspective.” He took a deep breath as he remembered the look in the Lord’s eyes right before he broke your neck. There was pity there; acknowledgment of a loss he knew Henry would not get over for centuries, if at all. “He didn’t think I would turn her. He left her body there, knowing I could turn her before it was too late, but he was so sure I wouldn’t. Why, do you think?”
“Henry,” Chris whined with irritation. “Don’t start—”
“Because we don’t subject the ones we love to this life,” Henry said as he stared at you, then he looked to Chris. “You never turned Amara. You loved her as a human until she died because you knew she would be miserable if she were like us.”
Chris swallowed the pain; the discomfort in his gut at the reminder of the woman he would’ve crushed mountains into rubble for. “I agree, this is not an ideal life, but…take it from me. When you’re in love with a human, there is nothing more painful than seeing them age without you.” The blond cleared his throat, and his voice shook slightly as he continued. “I couldn’t give Amara a normal life. I couldn’t marry her or give her children untainted by vampire blood like she wanted. So, I honored her wishes and let her go on to find that human she married. But don’t think for a second that if someone killed her when she was mine, that I wouldn’t have bitten her to save her too. It’s not wrong to save the ones we love, Henry.”
Henry grunted like the stubborn mule both you and his friend knew he was.
“Look, Amara is not Y/N,” Chris said, pushing his friend to see the best in the choices made the day you died. “Y/N was the first human to love a vampire in centuries. She saw you as more than what you are. Do not take advantage of that gift. She is now like us. You can have her forever. There was a time when I would’ve given anything to have the same.”
Henry rose an eyebrow. “So, I’m being an unappreciative prick, is that what you’re saying?”
“Yes,” Chris smirked, taking a drink from his glass, and standing. “But I won’t hold it against you.”
 ------------------------------------------
You woke with a massive arm draped over your abdomen. It felt like a heavy brick and you couldn’t get enough air, so you blindly shoved at it until lifted. The bed shook as you deeply inhaled, swallowing oxygen the way you would if your head just broke the surface of the ocean and you could finally feel the air on your skin.
“Oh, thank fuck,” You heard whispered from your left as two massive hands cupped your cheeks and turned your head. “Open your eyes, baby.”
You tried and winced when the tiniest bit of light seeped in, slamming them shut again to avoid the headache.
“It’s ok,” The voice said. “It’s ok. Try again, just take it slow.”
You did as asked, bracing yourself for the pain of it but powered on, blinking a few times until your view came into focus. “Henry?”
Your voice was gravelly and felt itchy in your throat, but by the way Henry’s face lit up, it might as well have been the most beautiful sound in the world.
“Hey,” He smiled, running a hand over the top of your head. Tears welled in his eyes; the blue orbs darting all over your face as he stroked your hair. One of the droplets fell on your cheek and Henry quickly kissed it away.
His lips were warm, and you sighed into the feeling, suddenly sinking into the curve of his body as it lay against yours. “I feel like I died and rose again,” You groaned as you stretched your limbs the best you could, testing their limits to alleviate the stiffness.
“You’ll feel better soon.” Henry kissed your forehead. “It just takes a little time.”
You tilted your face back from where it was pressed against his hard chest to look up at him with pinched eyebrows. “What do you mean?”
He grew uneasy, averting his gaze and shifting his body awkwardly without removing his arms from around you. “The, uh…transformation takes—”
“Transformation?” Your torso rose, surprisingly not aching the slightest.
Henry leaned up as well and cupped your cheek, savoring the feel of your skin in case you tried to kill him. You would have the strength for it now if you planned your attacks strategically. And if you hated him, he would accept your decision. He was selfish, after all, but he couldn’t let you go.
“Baby, you…you did die.” Your eyes widened and Henry internally cringed. “Elias killed you, and I bit you on, um…” He grabbed your wrist and brought it up to your face. “I bit your wrist. I changed you”
And sure enough, there were two faint dots on the inner side of your wrist; the marks shimmering to perfectly match the small cut on your finger.
“I’m so sorry, baby.”
You looked at him. “Why?”
Henry moved to lay on his back. You could tell he was avoiding your eyes; that he was scared of your reaction to his next words. Crawling on top of him with unexpected ease, you straddled his waist and planted your hands firmly on his chest. You pressed down lightly, giving him a little jolt, when he had still hadn’t answered.
His eyes locked with yours and he wrapped his fingers around your forearms to keep your steady above him. “I just didn’t want to lose you. I’ve never been that scared in my life, and it made me—"
“No.” You shook your head. “Not why did you do it. I meant, why are you sorry you did? You want me, don’t you?” You didn’t ask for reassurance. You knew how he felt, but you wanted him to see that changing you was the only option if he wanted to be with you; and him wanting to have you would never be something you could punish him for. Being like him did not terrify you. It didn’t shock you into silence. Honestly, you didn’t feel all the different.
He sat up until you were face to face and wrapped his arms around your waist. One hands fingers trailed up and down the length of your spine. “More than anything.”
“Henry, I had nothing for me in that life,” You said as your hands settled on his shoulders. “Nothing.” Tipping your head down, you connected your lips and he moaned so deep his chest vibrated against yours.
“You’re really ok?” He asked when you pulled apart.
“I wouldn’t lie to you,” You said.
A small laugh came out in the form of a puff of air, then he tucked his head down until his cheek was resting against your left breast. He sighed, but it came out more like a moan. “I love that sound.”
“You can still hear it?”
“Only when I’m this close,” He said, nipping at the skin and nuzzling into your chest. “You’ll just have to tell me how you feel about me from now on.”
You smiled, but then your face fell serious. “Henry?”
“Hmm?”
“What now?”
He pulled back as he took in a deep breath and exhaled through his nose. “Now the change fully takes hold. Your eyesight will increase, you’ll get stronger every day, your fangs will come in soon, and you’ll hate it because you’re going to be biting your tongue fifteen times a day for about a week.”
You grimaced, but chuckled.
“There are a few other things, but we’ll deal with them as they come, not now. Other than that, not much else,” He said, framing your face with his hands. “You’re mine now, baby. And I’m yours.”
“Just like that, huh?”
“Just like that.” He grinned and pressed his lips to yours.

word count; ~3000
chapters; 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - x - x - x - x - x - x - x - x
Tumblr media
ooh, and the sugar turned bitter
ooh, and the summer turned to winter
but i still want your love;
ooh, they can tell me i’m a sinner
ooh, but they can’t call me a quitter
i won’t give you up;
old habits die hard!
Tumblr media
You find yourself trapezing through the dense forest; racing the sun that disappears behind the horizon.
Jun just had to pick such a difficult place to find.
Not that you could blame him.
Most of the townspeople shunned you too; once they found out you were hanging around Jun and his kind. ‘It’s shameful’, they said, ‘He’s just using you.’
Their nosy stares and whispered rumours were growing to be too much, even for you.
Jun would never treat you that way. You were sure of it.
A twig snaps somewhere close to you and you realize the sun’s going down much quicker than you anticipate; hurrying through the tangled vines and dense bushes. In truth, you weren’t necessarily sure if you were heading the right way at all and you’d already restarted your route after three other failed attempts.
The panic floods your body when the twig snapping get closer and you realize you hadn’t brought anything to defend yourself with.
“Is--Is someone there?” You ask, voice shaky and barely above a whisper.
You’re met with silence, almost eerily so, as the forest seems to go absolutely quiet. “Hello?”
A chill runs up your spine as you’re suddenly reminded that the forest was home to more than just vampires, but other magical creatures who called the forest their home. And here you were, a measly human with no weapons or means of protecting yourself.
Maybe this hadn’t been the brightest of ideas now that the sun was almost completely down.
“Boo.”
You let out an ear piercing scream as you already start to bolt; not caring where your feet took you. “Hey! Damn it, don’t run!” Jun grabs your arm before you can get any further, tugging you towards himself as he sighs. “It’s just me!”
“Why on earth are you scaring me!? In a forest no less!?” The blood rushes to your face which makes Jun laugh, eyes rolling when he licks his lips. Of course.
“No reason. You know, I was watching you since the second time you restarted your route.”
“Why didn’t you say anything?”
The male shrugs, “Wanted to see how determined you were to find me.”
Tumblr media
Jun walks with you, hand in hand, through the large overhanging trees. “We’re almost there. And by the way, why were you even out here looking for me? It’s late and you could’ve gotten hurt.”
Your lips press into a tight lipped smile, eyes focused on the small clearing that was up ahead. “I…” You hesitate; you didn’t know what you were doing either, you just knew you had to see Jun.
“Let me take a wild guess, the townspeople were staring again, weren’t they? Whispering about how ‘mingling with the creatures is unbecoming of you.’ right?” You exhale softly, wrapping your arms around Jun’s as you lean into him. “Something like that, yes.”
The two of you fall into a comfortable silence as he guides you through the forest and into the clearing; an old brick mansion coming into view as you step further out.
“Wow… Is this where you’ve been… hiding out?”
Jun chuckles, peering down at you. “Something like that. It’s not much and it hasn’t been kept up for human... inhabitants. There’s enough space for a garden though, perhaps to grow some vegetables?” He clears his throat, hoping you catch what he’s trying to say. “But I think with time and a little effort, we can… figure out how to fix it up for, well, us.”
You grip tightens up on his arm, head tilting up to meet his stare. “Jun… are you sure?”
His dark red pools are soft and gentle, even in the moonlight.
“I mean, you risked your safety to come find me about four times. And if I’m being honest, I quite missed you too. It’s lonely out here and a little too dilapidated for my liking.”
Tumblr media
When Jun gets you into the mansion, it’s a quick and fleeting tour around the deteriorating grounds before he turns to you, eyes twinkling as he tugs you up the stairs.
“It’s the only room that’s… intact. I’ve been using it as my personal bedroom.”
He opens the door and pulls you in, letting it slam shut behind you as he tugs you into his chest. “There’s a bed and… well, that’s all we really need, right, sweetheart?”
The two of you share a laugh just as Jun tilts your head up towards him. He leans in close, lips ghosting across your own and you feel your eyes flutter shut as you wait for Jun to kiss you.
It never comes.
Jun’s laugh is breathy and warm against your face and you shyly open your eyes to find his own crimson ones looking at you teasingly.
“But you know, sweetheart, I do have to punish you.”
“W--what? Why, but I didn’t--” Confusion crosses your features as he pulls away; blood going cold when he steps closer to the bed. He takes a seat on the edge, hands neatly folded in his lap.
“Oh, I know, your pretty little head is so confused, huh? But do you remember what I told you before? At the lake, after we’d met for the third time. It was the only rule I ever gave you.”
‘Do not ever trespass into the forest without my permission or my knowledge.’
Oh.
“But--but---”
“Ah, ah, no buts. Now come over here, baby. Over my lap.” The blood rushes to your face again as you curl your fingers into your dress, nodding shakily as you step closer to Jun. You quietly slip your shoes off as he scoots further onto the bed. Nervously, you situate yourself over his lap; ass in the air as you brace yourself on your hands and knees.
“Just a few, okay? I promise I won’t be too harsh on you, sweetheart.”
“O-okay…”
He lifts your dress, letting it bunch up around your waist. His cold hands ghost across your exposed skin as you tremble; already biting your lip at the moan that threatens to spill from you.
Jun can already sense the way you already seem to get aroused just by being propped over him. “Hmm, what is that pretty head of yours thinking, huh? I can smell you getting wet already.” You groan in response, balling your hands into the sheets underneath you.
“Nothing, just… anxious.” He hums in response, bringing his hand down onto you ass as you yelp.
“Guess I should keep you on your toes then, shouldn’t I?”
He soothes the skin; wide palm massaging the red mark blooming onto you. The slight sting bleeds into pleasure as you whine quietly, hoping that Jun doesn’t notice the blood that rushes to your cheeks and the arousal that pools in your lower half.
It’s quiet for beat before Jun brings his hand down onto your skin again, this time a little harder as you mewl his name.
“Sweetheart, this isn’t much of a punishment if you like it, you know.” Jun quips.
“I--s-sorry…”
He brings his hand down onto your ass one last time; eyebrow quirked when you start to rub your thighs together. 
“We’ll just have to try something else, okay?”
Tumblr media
You’re thankful that Jun knows you like the back of his hand when he doesn’t tie your arms to the bedposts.
He’d tried it once before; deciding it wasn’t for you or for him when he saw the fabric burns on your wrists from how hard you’d been tugging on your restraints.
But you do whimper when he ties the silk around your head, effectively cutting off your vision before he positions himself between your legs.
“Everything okay, sweetheart?”
“Mm… Mmhmm…”
He eyes the wet patch of fabric on your panties, fingertips already pressing into it, a second later. “O-oh!” Your thighs threaten to clamp shut; instead tightening around his waist as he teases you through the fabric.
“It must feel even better now that you can’t see, huh?” Jun pinches your clit through your panties and you can’t help the choked sob that falls from your lips. “J--Jun…”
“Mm, I know, sweetheart.”
He takes pity, placing both of his hands on your panties before he tears the material right off of your body. “I need to prep you still, so be patient.” You nod in response, brows furrowing.
The idea that you couldn’t tell when he’d start touching you had your breath stopping momentarily. You part your lips to speak but you feel Jun’s cold fingertips gliding through your wet folds almost as if he knew what you were going to say. “Ah, Jun…” He gathers the wetness on his fingertips, bringing it up to your clit as he starts rubbing soft and slow circles on the nub.
“You know, it’s going to be a little difficult to get around town once they know you’re copulating with a vampire.” Jun comments teasingly as he positions a finger at your entrance. He sinks the digit in, thrusting it in and out when he feels how wet you are around his finger.
“I---I don’t c-care… They can, ah, s-say all they wa--want…” You retort. “Jus’ want y-you…”
Jun smirks at this, even if you can’t see it. “Should we give them something to look at then, sweetheart?”
He quickly adds another finger, somewhat impatient himself. You nod at his question, moaning out loud when he starts to scissor and curl his fingers into your tight warmth.
“Please, Jun, hurry! I’m so---”
“Shh, I know. Me too. Patience.”
He leans down, lips ghosting across your clavicle as you shiver. You feel his lips on you a second later, already sucking on the skin to leave blooming love bites all over. He keeps his fingers deep inside your pussy, adding his thumb to your clit as you cry out his name.
“Oh g-god, Jun, I---mmph!”
His lips are on yours, swallowing up your moans as you suddenly cum on his fingers; hips canting up as you try to meet the flicks of his wrists.
He groans against your mouth when he feels your walls fluttering around his fingers; salivating at the way your blood smells even sweeter now that you’d already had one orgasm.
Jun pulls away, grinning when he thinks about it.
How much sweeter could your blood get if you came just one more time?
Your stuttered breath brings him out of his thoughts, pulling his fingers from inside of you as you moan at the sudden emptiness. He gives you only a moment to catch your breath before he��s positioning the head of his cock at your entrance.
“J-Jun, ah, I’m---I’m still s-sensitive…”
He teases your hole with the head of his cock; noting the way you raise your hips and try to grind against him. “Oh? So you want me to stop then?”
You bite your lip, already imagining and craving the way his cock filled you up so perfectly. “No, I want you inside of me, now.” He laughs boisterously, shaking his head at the way you flip flop your feelings.
“You’re the queen of the house now, I suppose.”
He sinks his cock into you, a groan on his lips when he feels how wet you are around his cock. “Ngh, sweetheart… I don’t think I’m going to last very long…” He mutters; already starting a rhythmic pace when he feels your walls clamping down onto him.
“M-me too… But--but it’s okay… I wanna feel you.” You gulp, “And--and I wanna… feel you f-feed. It’s been a-a while, hasn’t it?” Your voice is soft and small to Jun’s ears and he feels his cock throbbing at the mere idea. It wasn’t that he’d never fed from you before, either; it was just that he tried to supplement his feeds from different sources so as to not wear you out.
It’d been a good long while since you’d offered yourself. Granted, part of that was because of his own decisions.
“Are you sure, sweetheart? I don’t have to if you’re not up for it.” He offers gently. Jun knew your limits as much as he craved you.
“N-no, I want you t-to… It kinda makes m-me feel, hah, g-good too…”
The blush eats away at your cheeks and you moan loudly once Jun angles his thrusts perfectly to tap your g-spot. “Oh, god, right t-there!”
Jun leans over you again, however this time he tugs at the loose knot on your blindfold; tossing the material off. “You’ve been so good for me, sweetheart. I think you deserve your vision back, hmm?” He kisses your cheek once before he pulls away.
His lips fall into a gentle smile; the complete opposite of the way his hips seem to piston into you quicker. “Jun, I’m---I’m so close…” Whispering, you let your eyes readjust to the soft moonlight filtering in through the windows. A sheen of sweat covers Jun’s skin, lips parted in shaky breaths when he feels himself getting close to cumming as well.
“Mmh, sweetheart, I’m g-going to feed, okay?” You nod feverishly in response, tilting your head to the side to give him space.
Jun leans in, lips on your skin as he sucks more love bites onto the column of your throat. Your eyes flutter shut by reflex, soft moans spilling from your lips at the feeling.
“Now they’ll really know you belong to me. And so will the other vampires and creatures that dare lurk anywhere near our part of the forest.” His words are slightly muffled against your skin; barely audible between your moans that grow louder and the sound of his hips snapping into you.
He feels your walls tightening around him, a tell tale sign that you were close to an orgasm.
“J-Jun!” You cry; tension snapping in your body at the same time that Jun draws his fangs out and sinks them into your neck.
There’s a rush of sensations going through your body as your toes curl behind his back and your mouth falls open in a silent scream. Your walls flutter around his cock and the subtle pain of his fangs digging into your skin as he feeds from you melds into pleasure when he cums too; cock throbbing inside your pussy as he cums inside of you.
His eyes roll back at the absolute pleasure that washes over him.
Jun was right, after all; your blood tasted even sweeter after two orgasms.
He draws his fangs back in a few moments later, tongue lapping at the wound until it seals over. You mewl in response as you ride out the remnants of your orgasm, soft breaths the only thing you can muster at the fuzziness that takes over your body. 
Jun’s hips grind against you as he peppers small kisses all over your throat and clavicle; adding more blooming marks to your skin as you whine.
“Ju--Jun ‘m really sen--sensitive now…” Mumbling, you try to fight off the sleep that threatens to take you; arms and legs feeling like dead weight.
“You did so well for me, baby. Thank you.” He slides his cock from your pussy, watching the way his cum spill to the sheets underneath you.
“Let’s get you cleaned up, hmm? And maybe find some new sheets somewhere around here, if we can.”
Tumblr media
Jun draws you a warm bath; thankful that the grounds were abundant with fire wood and a working water pump.
He carries you to the bathroom wrapped in the soiled bed sheets -- a sheepish smile on his face when he lets you down onto your feet.
“I’m sorry, love. I can’t say I was expecting you today otherwise I would’ve prepared a little better.” You smile warmly in response, “Jun it’s okay, really, it’s not a big deal.”
He holds your hand as you step into the warm water, making sure you didn’t slip or fall. “I know, I just… I haven’t really had a chance to fix this place up, is all. Figured it’d just be me.”
Jun pulls up a small stool, sitting next to you outside of the tub as he gently starts massaging your tired shoulders. “Your neck is also quite pretty with my marks all over it now though, I will say.” He laughs teasingly, tilting your head towards himself until he can press a chaste kiss against your lips.
“Speaking of…” You mumble as you pull away slightly, “Regardless of what the townspeople say, I’m not too keen on going around with all these blotches on my neck, Jun! Your bite mark is the least of my concerns!”
He rolls his eyes, kissing you once more before he pulls away to grab the soap to wash your hair. “No worries, sweetheart. I know this might be hard to believe, but I’ve a friend a little ways away. Name’s Seokmin. He’s a warlock and quite the unsuspecting fellow. Must be his smile, although I’ll admit he’s quite charming in his own ways. I’ll have him go into town and get some things for us in the meantime. Maybe some seeds and herbs from his garden, as well.”
You quirk a brow at him, watching the way he collects bubbles on his hands before he brings them to your hair. “Since when were you so chummy with the enchanter types?”
Jun snorts; fingertips massaging your scalp as you moan and lean into his touch.
“Seokmin runs my errands around town and I play along with his little experiments. It’s all about balance out here, sweetheart. But don’t worry, you’ll get used to it.”

Hello, Little One - Shoto Todoroki
So, do any of you like microphilia? No? Didn’t think so, but here it is anyway! A yandere giant Shoto Todoroki
Shoto is aged up and a pro hero!
Warning for Yandere Content and Microphilia
Beta’d by best person: @patchworkpiper​
---
“Hello, little one.”
You shudder at the sound of his voice as he steps through the door. What had been a nice nap to escape from reality was pulled away as you found yourself once again in this prison. You move off of the small bed, and to the bars of the metal cage you’re trapped in.
You barely knew why you were bothering to respond at this point, but he was the only human you had seen in…however long you have been here. The room you were in seemed to have the singular purpose of housing you, with very little else here. Your cage was in the north of the rectangular room on a table, with the door at the south, and the couch along the west wall. There was a large window (deadbolted with curtains, of course) in the east wall.
As his colossal form walks through the room towards you, his footsteps shake your cage. Shoto Todoroki, one of the city’s most well-known hero’s strolls over to you. He crouches down, his cold eyes peering through the bars at your tiny 2-inch form.
“How is my favourite little pet doing?” He questions, as you hide behind blankets and pillows. He is standing at his full height, making you eye level with his crotch. Looking down from his nose at you.
“Terribly. I hate it here. I want to go home. I wish you would die.” You state listlessly back to him.
His eyes thin as he sighs, exasperated.
“We have already gone over this, MULTIPLE times… If I let you out, you won’t be mine. You won’t be safe anymore. That would be unacceptable.” You feel the room get warmer as he grows more tired of your antics. You guess today wasn’t a good day at work.
“I’m not yours! You just stole me and shrank me!” You shout back at him, voice rising as you get angrier and angrier.
“…Pet, disrespect is not welcome here. I’m willing to overlook the odd comment here and there, but you know what will happen if you fight back…” His threat hangs in the air, as you reminisce about…that day.
--
“Little one, stop struggling, I NEED to wash you.” Probing hands prodded at your form as you moved backwards in the small basin, huddling in a corner, treading water, and using your nails to try and dig into his skin whenever it came close.
“Fine then. I hope you learn your lesson, brat.” His fingers grabbed you and shoved you underwater. You tried with all your might to pry them off, but they wouldn’t budge. Your breath was running out, lungs burning as your brain tried to force you to take a breath.
--
“…Sorry…” You avoid his eyes and look at the ground, hiding your face.
“Now little one, I have a surprise for you. I’m SURE you’ll appreciate it, right?”
He opens the cage door, reaching his hand in and grabbing you. His fingers close forcefully around you as he stands and strolls to the couch. Sitting upon it, he places you on his lap. You try not to think of which organ you're standing on as he continues speaking.
“Close your eyes for me, okay? I’m sure you’ll love it. I’ll have to touch you to put it on, but I promise I’ll be gentle.”
You close your eyes. You’ve already been disrespectful, and there’s only so far you can push Shoto before he’ll push back.
As he touches your neck, a bell is heard. Something coarse gets wrapped around your shaking neck with gentle precision. You open your eyes and your hand touches what you assume to be a collar. He brings a mirror up, so you’re able to see it in better detail. You see a red collar, sturdy and utilitarian. It carries with it a small gold bell, which jingles when shaken. It also has a nametag at the front.
“It says ‘pet’, in case you were wondering. I’m unsure if you can still read to be honest…It HAS been a while since you were intellectually challenged; living this life of luxury and whatnot.”
“I can still read!”
“Now THAT is a shock.”
“I don’t want to wear this! I hate it! It’s so uncomfortable!” All you're able to do is mess around with it helplessly and hope he doesn't choose to tighten it.
“Pet. Stop fussing. It was custom made, and if you break it, there WILL be consequences.”
“Why should I care?!” Punishment be damned, you can’t take him anymore.
“Hmm?” He raises an eyebrow, and peers down at you.
“I HATE it here! I hate you! What gives you the right to do this to me! I'd rather live out my days in that godforsaken cage than have you touch me again!” You scream the ugly words at him, you’re sick of him, sick of your life. He pinches the bridge of his nose and growls in frustration.
“Just give up already! We both know you’re not getting out of this! Why are you so disobedient?!” He glares at you, roughly grabbing you off his crotch and bringing you up to his face.  His fist encapsulates you, only letting your head move around.
“I want my old life back! I’m sick of YOUR hideous face being the only face I see!” As you shout the words at him, he drops you as he recoils in shock and hurt. 
Oh no. You cower, knowing you’ve fucked up. NEVER talk about his scar. 
He drops you back on his lap and brings the mirror to his face, his other hand touching the scar in a forlorn expression. His eyes scrunch up a bit, mouth wavering. This is the most vulnerable you’ve ever seen him. That vulnerability quickly dissipates into rage. Letting out a roar, he throws the mirror against the wall, shattering it into a thousand pieces. 
“Wait! I didn’t mean it like that! I’m sorry!”
He angrily glares at you as you feel less confident in your words. You can feel his hot breath hitting you as he seems to be thinking. He pulls out his phone with and starts typing furiously, before a few chimes emit from the phone. He hasn’t said anything for a good while, and your heart is pounding. His face returns to a more self-satisfied expression as he looks back to you.
“Hmmm. Okay. That’s possible.” He says, a hint of malice in his voice.
“Wait, what?” Your eyes widen as you fear his sudden change in attitude.
“I said that is possible. I can arrange for you to see someone else for a while.”
“Are you letting me go?” You aren’t that hopeful, but maybe?
“That isn’t what you said, pet. You said that you wanted to see a new face. THAT I can provide.” You don’t like the sound of that.
“This is going to be someone worse than you, isn’t it? You’re not that slick, Todoroki. You’re basic.” A grin overtakes the face of your captor as your stomach sinks. It appears you forgot your place again.
“Oh, getting cocky now, are we? Let’s see if you feel that way after a week with my old man.” Your blood runs cold. His father, Enji Todoroki?! You’ve seen the man before, on TV and whatnot. Shoto speaks of him sometimes, seemingly trying to use his trauma as a bonding tool. It mainly just instilled the fact that Enji Todoroki was someone to be feared, someone who wouldn’t give a second thought to anyone he didn’t think was worth the time. You highly doubt he’d even give you a first thought.
“W-wait, w-what?”
“He's a bastard. A lot less forgiving, if you catch my drift. He hates distractions, and I don’t think he’d be all that fond of you, pet. I do not envision dealing with him to be all that nice. He is a cruel person, and I think having a pet to torture would be right up his alley.”  
“I thought you hated him?”
“True, but he’s really been trying to gain my trust. And he’ll do basically anything I ask. Even looking after a pet for a week.” Your blood is pumping, you can hear your heartbeat in your ears.
“I-I-I-” You stammer, trying to find any solid ground in this argument. Shoto just grins and continues.
“Of course, he’s quite forgetful and dismissive. So, I wouldn’t expect him to remember to feed you or really care for you-”
“Why- why would you-”
“-or maybe he’ll just drop you on the ground and expect you to fend for yourself for the week. Surviving his day to day life. His footsteps, workouts, and daily routines, surviving off crumbs, stolen food, and the like.” You can’t take this, your sassy front has crumbled away. Shoto’s threats are too much for you to push back against. 
You can’t imagine surviving a week with Enji, him burning you if you don’t do exactly what he asks. You can only be so defiant against the person who rules your life. Shoto has won this argument. You can only give in and pray that he doesn’t go through with it.
“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to say what I said!” Shoto just looks at you, looking smug, and continues.
“After all, he doesn’t have much time for arrogant, stupid, tiny pests.”
“Please! I’m sorry! I don’t want that!” You are shaking now, on your knees in his palm, head sagging.
“Oh, am I scaring you, pet? I mean, there are other possibilities...” You jump at this chance to be good again. Anything to keep you away from Enji.
“Like if I behave, or make it up to you?” You’ll do anything he asks, you just need to not end up with Enji.
“I was meaning my father. He doesn’t have anyone in the house anymore and he seems quite lonely, he might take a liking to you. Constantly being around you, or demanding things of you. He might really take a fancy to you.” 
Wait, what?
“W-what do you mean, exactly?”
“Well. My old man doesn’t have anyone in the house, he’d probably latch onto anyone new he could care for…or train. I think it’d be cute, no? A huge, strong man like him, fawning and fussing over my pet. He might view himself as a grandfather.” Shoto chuckled to himself lightly. 
“Imagine a man like Endeavour, constantly wanting to be around you, hold you, feed you, bathe you, sleep with you. It’s not impossible to think that he’d be loving towards you.” It sounds better than Shoto’s treatment of you. Enji might be kinder, if he was like what was just described?
“Is…that meant to be a threat? He’d treat me better than you presumably.”
“Well, no, he wouldn’t. See, my old man is the type of man to get frustrated easily. His quirk is fire, and he has a VERY short fuse. If you don’t act like the PERFECT little pet, he’ll get mad, fast. And let’s face it, you’re a brat.”  You regret ever waking up from that nap. You also regret all the actions you’ve made since that nap.
“Think about it, burning large manly hands grabbing for you, or giving a downright villainous glare because you DARED deny his affection.” Okay, staying with Shoto was the better choice again. The idea of being around either version of Enji shook you to your core.
“I-I…Please don’t make me go with your father! I’m sorry for what I said! I really am! Please, don’t make me spend a week with him!” He seemed to stop and consider it, a thoughtful expression crossing his face.
“Hmm. Will you stop being such a brat?”
“Yes! Of course, I’ll do anything!”
“Kiss me, on the lips.” 
You step back, legs shaking, eyes darting to his lips in terror. He’s requested this before, but you always denied it. It’s too close, too personal, too intimate. It’s an act that would seal the corrupted relationship you two share.
“W-what?”
He brings his palm, with you on it, closer to his lips.
“Come now, little one. You said you’d do anything to prove to me you won’t be such a brat.”
Hesitantly, you move closer, wrapping your arms around yourself. Swallowing thickly, you slowly lean forward and place your tiny lips on his, sealing the deal. He’s holding his breath, waiting anxiously for you to prove your loyalty to him.
As you lean back from the kiss, he breathes out, warm breath washing over you. 
“Thank you for that my pet. You truly have established your loyalty to me. I just have one more thing to ask of you.”
“What is it? I’ll do anything, I swear!” You just don’t want to end up with the devil. You know how much ‘fun’ Shoto could have with the word ‘anything’, you’re not an idiot. But anything is preferable to Enji.
“In a couple of days, I’ll be going away for a week or so. International hero conference, you know the deal. You will have to stay with my old man for that period.” 
Your stomach drops as you start crying. He...he lied to you! He betrayed you!
“B-but…you…you promised!”
“I said nothing of the sort. I simply asked if you’d stop being such a brat, to which you responded enthusiastically. Not my fault you misinterpreted what I said.” A wicked grin overtakes his face, as his hand cocoons your body, leaving only your head.
“I HATE YOU! You’re a villain! What makes you think you can do this?! You’re just like your father! I hope you both rot in hell together! I hate you!” You’re past the point of caring with Shoto, he can burn in hell for all you care. Although considering he is giving you to Todoroki Senior, the feeling might be mutual.
“Hahaha, little one, ferocious as ever. I DO hope you’ll survive the week with my father, it’d be such a shame otherwise.”

Surprised by the sudden question, I reach back into my memory, but I don’t recognize him... He hands over me something like that — “—··· I hope to see you again.”
CHAPTER 02
The man with crimson eyes “...Have we ever met somewhere?”
Surprised by the sudden question, I reach back into my memory, but...
MC “...I don’t think we ever met, probably...”
MC “Because I just came to this place a month ago...”
(...At any rate, it just doesn’t seem that I’ve forgotten. I think I’ll never forget such a beautiful person if I ever meet one.)
The man with crimson eyes “Really...?”
MC “...? Yes...Ah!”
When I *get a hold of myself, I notice that there’s a wagon with flowers is placed beside the person.
(*領き返し - 領 means territory, reign, possession, something you acquired, get hold and owned, while 返し means return, put back and restore. It’s still in hesitation, but I put my own mixture and analyzation that the sentence means ‘something that you possessed being returned and restored’, hence getting hold of herself. But if other readers have better explanation, or perhaps better translation, drop in the comments or DM, alright?
The flowers are unprotected and exposed to the snow, dyeing the petals white.
(That’s not good...!)
MC “If we let them get hit by snow as it is, the flowers might be ruined, you know? Let’s carry it over there!”
I put my hands on the wagon and run towards the eaves of the confectionery in the snow.
(...They won’t get hit by the snow here, right?)
Tumblr media
MC “...I’m glad they are all right. It would be sad if such beautiful flowers wither.”
The man with crimson eyes “...”
The moment I feel relieved, I realized the person is staring intently at me, as if to probe into my heart.
MC “...I’m sorry. Did I do something unnecessary...”
Then, the person in front of me gently shakes his head.
The man with crimson eyes “No...thank you.”
After saying that, he suddenly turns his crimson eyes towards the flowers in the wagon, and touches the flowers with beautiful gesture.
And then, the person makes a bouquet of colorful flowers in a blink of time, as if he’s using magic.
The man with crimson eyes “Hmm, this is fine. If it’s this big, it should fit in your arms.”
The man with crimson eyes “Here, as thanks for your help.”
A big bouquet gently jumps into my chest.
MC “...I can’t afford to receive such a big bouquet. I didn’t do much...”
The man with crimson eyes “Just accept it.”
The person untied his pursed lips and smiles sweet enough to captivate me instantly.
The man with crimson eyes “Since I was so happy.”
The man with crimson eyes “Well then, I’ll go with this.”
With a delightful smile, the person puts his hand on an empty wagon and starts walking through the snow.
MC “Excuse me...”
When the person stops walking, he looks up at the sky again...and draws an arc on his thin lips.
The man with crimson eyes “Oh...the snow will stop soon.”
(Huh...?)
Tumblr media
Staring at the similar scenery as reflected by the crimson eyes, the snow gradually becomes sparse...
Then, the snow stops.
(...It was a sudden snowfall.)
As I look up at the sky, leaving behind only the signs of snow, a clear voice flows into my ears.
The man with crimson eyes “—··· I hope to see you again.”
When I look back in a sudden, there is no one there anymore, 
I feel like I’m dreaming while it was snowing...
(He was a beautiful person...)
(Somehow it seems that he’s a human, but sort of like not human too...he was such a person. Even so —)
I wonder why did he look at me as if we had met before?
(...Have we ever met somewhere after all?)
While I’m thinking about it, I heard footsteps right next to me.
Leonardo “I’m sorry to have kept you keep waiting, Mimi. Huh...? What’s with that big bouquet?”
Leonardo “Leonardo-san! To tell you the truth, just now —”
***
Leonardo-san grunts and stifles his laughter as I tell him the whole story of what happened while it was snowing.
Leonardo “I think he was happy with your kindness. ...Hmm?”
Leonardo's fingertips touch the light blue petals that bloom quietly among various kinds of flowers.
Tumblr media
Leonardo “Forget-me-not flowers shouldn't bloom in such a cold winter. Is he growing them in a greenhouse? Or.”
Leonardo “—*Off-season flowering, huh.”
(*狂い咲き - 狂い means insanity, madness and crazy while 咲き means to bloom. Literally it means a crazy flower that’s blooming out of order
Shakespeare sets foot into an old castle and finds the lord of the castle in a beautiful garden.
Tumblr media
Vlad “···— 𝅘𝅥𝅮 ···”
Wearing a coat that’s darker than the night, the figure that’s gazing on the flowers illuminated by the moon is so beautiful that you leave it as it is. 
Slowly approaching, Shakespeare stands next to Vlad and opens his lips.
Shakespeare “My lord, is there anything good happened to you?”
Vlad “Yeah, something really nice.”
Nevertheless...as he mutters, the pair of eyes with different colors directed his gaze towards the flowers that are blooming in the flower bed.
Tumblr media
Shakespeare “Forget-me-nots shouldn’t bloom in this season, and this flower too. ...Ah, this flower too.”
Shakespeare “How on earth are you growing them...?”
Vlad “Rather than that sort of thing, it’s rare for you to come here, Will. Don’t you have something to talk about?”
Shakespeare “...”
Shakespeare’s expression becomes stiff when a straight gaze is directed towards him.
After a seemingly eternal silence, a faint shaking voice echoes through the night.
Shakespeare “In search for tragic real experiences for my creation, on that day I left the mansion...I joined hands with you.”
Shakespeare “I’m in pursuit of tragedy, while you’re trying to revive the great men for your ambition. Our interests were aligned.”
Shakespeare “My heart was certainly moved by the person you revived for your experiment.”
Vlad “...”
Shakespeare “But things like disregarding lives and treating them with disdain, I just can’t accept it no matter what.”
Shakespeare “...I understand that it’s a selfish excuse, but I don’t want to get my hands dirty anymore —“
Vlad “Hey, Will.”
Shakespeare “...?”
Vlad “Do you know why forget-me-nots came to be called by this name?”
Although confused by the sudden question, Shakespeare easily/leisurely repeats the words.
Shakespeare “Knight Rudolph tried to pick flowers that bloom on the river quay for his lover, but...he accidentally fell into the river.”
Shakespeare “I know it got its name from the anecdote that was left behind saying [Don't forget me] at that time.”
Vlad “Yes, that’s correct. As one would expect, a rare playwright has an extensive knowledge.”
Vlad “I think, the great men in the Count’s mansion look a lot like this flower.”
Vlad “Although their lives have ended once, they were afraid that their existences would disappear from this world.”
Vlad “That straightforward obsession so far as cruel and abnormal has brought them back to life again. Hey, Will.”
Shakespeare “...Yes.”
Vlad “They will surely be the cornerstone to grant this heartful ambition. That’s why I have to choose.”
Vlad “—··· A strong person to help me, right? I thought you understand what I wanted to do.”
His voice is calm like a calm sea, but the air Vlad’s cladded in is too sharp and ferocious...,
But Shakespeare raises his voice to encourage himself.
Shakespeare “I can’t dance in your palm anymore, but I’m the first one who took your hand.”
Shakespeare “If you want to kill me, do it then. Since for you...I’m an unnecessary flower.”
Vlad’s hands extend towards Shakespeare’s neck.
Shakespeare “— !”
But, the beautiful hands on his small neck move away on a whim.
Shakespeare “...Why...”
Vlad “’Cause it seems like a severe punishment for Will is to continue living and suffering. See you then, Will.”
When Shakespeare’s figure disappears, the footsteps of Charles and Faust echo in replace.
Tumblr media
Faust “Is it fine to overlook the playwright easily, Your Excellency? It seems to me that the treatment is very sweet...”
Charles “Lord Vlad has Lord Vlad’s own *consideration. Isn’t that right, Ōsama?”
(*考え - thought, idea, intention, expectation
Responds with only a smile, Vlad turns his beautiful crimson eyes towards the night sky.
Vlad “The world is still beautiful today. That’s why I can’t give up this ambition in my heart.”
Vlad “We still have a long way to go, but...I’m sure it will be done.”
Charles & Faust “...”
Without minding both of them who are becoming speechless at the profile with appalling madness in his beauty, 
Vlad straightly crouches down on the spot and watches forget-me-not flowers intently.
Vlad “Don’t forget me, huh. Did that girl forget about me?”
Vlad “We met on a distant snowy day...”
Charles & Faust “...?”
Vlad “I hope we can meet again. Fuaa~...”
Charles “Eh, Ōsama?”
Charles “...He falls asleep.”
Faust “Sleeping in a place this, after muttering an incomprehensible monologue.”
Faust “Truly a selfish old man. Shall, I’m going back.”
Charles “Eh, let’s carry him, Doc.”
Faust “If you leave him alone, it seems that he’ll wake up soon.”
Charles “Eh? People would usually die if we leave them behind in this cold winter.”
Faust “Your Excellency is unusual, so there’s no problem.”
Charles “But, he’ll catch a cold, right?”
Faust “Haa~ He’s really such a troublesome old man.”
The profile of Shakespeare who’s leaving the castle is as lifeless as a doll.
Tumblr media
As he looks up at the night sky with dark eyes, the moon, which is about to transform into a full moon, comes into view and brings back a certain memory.
A month ago, a woman who appeared in front of him in what sort of fate, was an ordinary human without any talents. 
Vlad doesn’t need that kind of person...he thought so, and didn’t give any information about Mimi.
— That’s to say, he put up a façade.
Somehow she felt like a factor that could change this chaotic situation, for better or worse.
He felt that even God didn't know if Mimi’s fate and that beautiful person would cross.
Shakespeare “What can I do right now is keeping an eye on what’s about to occur after this, and if anything happens, I’ll *firsthand —”
(*身を以て - with one's own body/action/experience
Tumblr media
Every time I went to the city from that snowy day, my eyes came to search for that person who looked like a snow spirit.
However —
Tumblr media
(...Isn’t it hard to find him in this big city?)
(If only I asked for his name at least, I could get a clue to search for him.)
I want to convey a proper gratitude for giving me an armful of flowers.
Also...I can’t put it well into words, but I wish to meet that person again, truly from my heart.
MC “I don't know when, but...I want to see you again."
As I mutter alone, I could smell something like floating spring mixed in the winter air.
When I follow the scent that gives color to the cold winter —
Tumblr media
The man with crimson eyes “...”
The person is beside the wagon with plenty of flowers, as if he’s bringing along the spring.
(...At last, I met him.)
As I approach him, his crimson eyes slowly catch me —
The man with crimson eyes “I found you ‘again’, after all.”

I feel like the nature of Light’s ideology and his methods get caricatured a great deal in the fandom (especially by those who only viewed the anime). I keep seeing popular memes about Light killing petty shoplifters who are only attempting to feed their family and I always get the sense that they’re largely inaccurate (for the most part). Light notices in the Yotsuba arc that Kira’s sentencing spares those: who’ve served their sentences and improved their ways, who committed justifiable crimes, and who have shown remorse. So it feels off to seeing portrayed that way, especially when Light’s elimination of innocents (such as the FBI agents, Naomi, etc...) are usually for strategic purposes, intended to help him progress ahead. Not to mention this pervasive belief that Light apparently didn’t know that he would be bound to sentence some innocents to death (with his large kill count per day). Wouldn’t it be more likely that Light knew that it was inevitable and was willing to sacrifice those lives for “the greater good,” in his view?
This is a doozy of an ask, anon. But it is GLORY bc these are all excellent things for me to ramble about Light (thank you!). I’ll take them point by point, strap in cause this is a bit long. *cracks knuckles*
You’re absolutely right that fandom often boils Light’s character and ideology down to a few basic elements that are distorted, mostly to drag him. Let’s be honest-- it’s fun to drag characters, even our favs-- and pretty much everyone in Death Note deserves it. But it does become annoying when its inaccurate, like with your example about who Kira focused on killing and some others I see. To be clear, this isn’t any kind of apology for the bastardly things Light DID do, but clarifying what he was and wasn’t about.
Did Light kill petty criminals?
The only time it is mentioned that Light kills criminals for non-serious crimes is when he was under surveillance by L (the infamous potato chip scene) and had to kill someone on the news right then, as well as the immediate coverup. In that circumstance, he couldn’t afford to be picky-- he needed L to see a signature Kira death (heart attack) when Light supposedly couldn’t be doing it. The crimes that appeared on the news that night (in his chip bag TV lol) ended up being non-serious criminals, and Light wasn’t so thrilled about this. 
Tumblr media
Mainly because it meant he had to cover his tracks and kill a few more minor criminals so it really did look like Kira’s work. 
Tumblr media
But his focus was putting himself in the clear with L; those minor criminals were incidental, and when he had choice/freedom again, he did not focus on them. The ruse didn’t completely work because L thought minor criminals dying was suspicious since it deviated from Kira’s usual MO. So, L knew the real focus.
Tumblr media
This was a strategic move in service of, versus reflecting, Light’s ideology. This is something we see pop up again and again for Light. He is willing to do ‘wrong’ for the greater ‘good.’ We also see his distaste for killing petty criminals later when Light rebukes Mikami’s off-script killings in his thoughts. If Kira had been acting this way all along, then the Task Force wouldn’t have been surprised and Light wouldn’t have been pissed off that Mikami was doing it. 
Tumblr media
Kira was looking for violent criminals who had escaped justice, that’s his main goal. He’s also disagreeing with Mikami’s methods of punishing wrong-doers who paid their debt to society (as opposed to the Death Row criminals I discuss below who haven’t ‘paid their debt’ yet). He doesn’t want people to fear Kira and thinks shooting fish in a barrel, so to speak, would do that. His ideology is not punitive; to him, its about prevention. Petty crime wasn’t on his radar until he had to make that a temporary focus for his safety.
Did Light focus on criminals already in prison? 
I’ve seen plenty of posts in the Death Note tag grousing about how Light was ‘dumb’ because he only focused on criminals in prison, but that’s not wholly accurate. The first two names he wrote were criminals he witnessed in the process of a crime with actual victims that needed help (a hostage scenario where the perp had already murdered people, and a man about to rape). Then he went for the Big Bads in the news- the most vicious criminals world-wide.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Other than criminals at large, he DID kill some criminals in prison. The times he did so were:
1) Killing criminals on Death Row who, in the eyes of law enforcement, “deserved the death penalty several times over.” These are criminals who had already been sentenced to die and Kira enacted the ‘justice.’
Tumblr media
2) During Light’s ‘testing phase’ of the Death Note when he was trying to understand the rules in a population he could control 
3) When he was trying to be conspicuous about deaths for L’s benefit, like throwing off the assumption that Kira was a student. Light knew that those deaths would be found immediately and attributed to Kira. 
Tumblr media
For 2 and 3, these criminals were likely to be on Death Row given what was said by INTERPOL about who Kira was killing behind bars. Ironically, even L thought Death Row criminals needed to die-- he chose Lind L Tailor from Death Row for his stunt, and said on TV he’d seek the death penalty for Kira. Hmm.
Why did Light kill innocent people?
The innocent people that Light killed include Raye Penber, the rest of the FBI agents in Japan investigating Kira, and Naomi Misora. L and Watari might be considered innocent per Kira’s ideology (Watari had probably murdered people but L had probably not, directly). Rem technically killed L and Watari, but Light certainly wanted them to die and orchestrated it that way. The innocent people that Light WOULD have killed include the Task Force (Mogi, Aizawa, Matsuda, Ide) and the SPK (Halle, Gevanni, Rester, Near,) if he’d won in the warehouse.
The main thread tying all these people together? They were all imminent threats to Light and were actively trying to stop and/or kill him. Killing them would never have crossed his mind if that hadn’t been the case. THAT DOESN’T MEAN HE DIDN’T ENJOY IT. Taking out his enemies was something Light did savor, he really loved that win. But it wasn’t like he wiped out the entire FBI or Japanese police force. Those were not his targets; these were individuals who threatened his goal and life, and he saw their killing as self-defense. 
Did Light kill any criminals who were innocent or wrongly convicted?
It’s certainly possible that he did but the manga never touches on it. Given that his MO for killing incarcerated criminals was limited to Death Row, he probably felt like those were safe bets (we know that’s not always the case in the real world, of course). But let’s say that Light, in canon, found out he’d killed someone wrongfully convicted. In the beginning of his journey as Kira (at 17-18), I honestly don’t think he’d given this a lot of thought. What’s funny is that Light was naively, and paradoxically, putting a lot of faith in the human justice system while simultaneously enacting his own justice that relied on having zero faith in the traditional channels. Makes my head spin, but Light is a fascinating character because of that kind of thinking. He championed sweeping ideals of right and wrong, but couldn’t be bothered with getting in the murky details. 
But by the time he’d grown up and matured some, especially after becoming part of the police force himself, he would have know it was a possibility. At that point, I agree that he’d view it as an inevitable sacrifice in service of, but not directly reflecting, his ‘greater good,’ like the previous choices he’d made. 
So why is Kira’s ideology so often distorted? For one thing, his thinking is kind of convoluted. The anime has less nuance about what Light’s about, and many people just watch that. Another common reason I see for this is that someone really, really hates Light for defeating L, and once we dislike someone it becomes easier to roll in more and more unlikeable qualities into a nasty villain pie. Any trait that is ‘bad’ can be overlaid onto Light because he is ‘bad,’ so it fits right?? Ha....no. He has plenty of bad traits and actions of his own to drag him for without inventing new ones. At the same time, I see L’s flaws and negative traits/actions being hand-waved away or justified because he is their fav. It happened with Minoru, too.

Do you find Moonshadow culture becoming a little less... likeable? (but not less interesting) It seems like they hand out Ghostings like candy with no path to forgiveness and no belief in a person’s ability to change and reform themselves. The pressure and anxiety those elves must be feeling at all times has got to astronomical. What are your thoughts?
I have plenty of thoughts, as always! Less likeable than what, though, anon? Maybe you’ve missed most of my posts on Moonshadow society over the last year...
Moonshadow society is a disaster, poor thing. It’s a tightlaced corset, pretty but restrictive with long term consequences. It’s a queer neurodivergent elf who just wants to do their very best but all the rules that are supposed to help them out with that end up hurting them too and they don’t know how to stop or change and so yes they’re dancing gracefully in the moonlight and yes they express themselves through beauty but if you get close enough you can hear the constant pterodactyl screech of their soul too. (Did I extrapolate extra hard from “Runaan is the most Moonshadow of the Moonshadow elves”, maybe yes)
Tumblr media
Moonshadow society is deeply flawed and it needs help, but it’s so big and pervasive that it may be impossible to change its course without severe consequences, just like last time (aka moving east across the border and becoming assassins that took out humans). The elves can only do so much to alter their own fates from inside their own society.
Some may leave and never return. Some get ghosted and want nothing more than to re-enter the fold because they still believe in its ideals, like Feathershawl. Some probably try to change things from the inside, whether subtly or obviously. And others embrace the rules with both arms and try to mold themselves into The Perfect Moonshadow Who Can Do No Wrong, in order to remain safe and to belong.
But that’s a spectrum you’re going to get when perfectionism is a big part of your cultural philosophy. Everything has to be Just So for so many aspects of these elves’ lives, and it’s Very Not Good for them. Yes, they’re pretty. But mandating prettiness is just as bad as mandating other aspects of personal choice and free will.
As for ghosting, I really don’t think Moonshadows just yeet those left and right with little care for the consequences. I do think they’re too harsh with their shunning! Shunning, giving up, turning their back in a relatively permanent way, that’s not a good solution. Learning and adapting are important, and knowing that you have time and room to practice and adjust is so important for mental health and stability in your society. Living in constant fear of minding the rules or getting even perceived to be doing something incorrectly is such a drain on your energy.
Tumblr media
But I do think that the Moonshadows have strict rules for what deserves ghosting and what doesn’t, just as they do for other stuff. The details of Feathershawl’s ghosting are theirs to keep, and I assume any Narrator could flesh those out however they chose during a playtest, whether to make their situation more or less sympathetic for the players.
But my take is this: Moonshadow elves revere life very deeply, and they work constantly to serve each other and their whole community, as they hold themselves together and celebrate their continued existence on every level they can. When someone in a position of big responsibility for the health, well-being, and lives of so many Moonshadow citizens messes up in such a bad way that there’s a plague and lots of elves die--lose their precious lives, lose those connections with others, leave their families torn and distraught and unable to focus on their own duties due to heavy, soul-sucking grief--when one elf causes this level of arcanum-deep catastrophe, I can absolutely see why the other Moonshadow elders would be horrified and grief-stricken, and furious. It’s a very un-Moonshadow thing to have happen, especially with how hard they’re all trying to be so very Moonshadow all the time.
Feathershawl had a position that gave them authority over the food sources that kept a good number of the Forest’s elves fed and able to live their lives without privation. And they screwed that up somehow. They were trusted with a basic staple of everyday life--food--and they got it wrong in such a horrible way that there are a lot fewer Moonshadow elves as a result.
Moonshadow elves need each other’s support and presence as part of their communal network, and anything that tears at that fabric goes against everything that Moonshadow philosophy stands for. Feathershawl themself had literally dozens of family members, whose illusions were kept in their crystal. That’s a lot of family! If it’s common for Moonshadow elves to have that many family members, then a plague would probably touch every family multiple times and leave everyone multiply devastated. It’s just Bad All Around.
Tumblr media
There’s probably a lot more to Rayla’s ghosting than we know, since we only learned of it from her POV and she’s not in the habit of sharing Moonshadow secrets with Callum just yet. Knowing that Moonshadow families are so thickly intertwined, and how heavily they rely on each other to help support and cheer each other through standing strong together and mutual services, it’s no big stretch to imagine that Rayla’s biggest crime in Moonshadow eyes wasn’t her supposed running away, it was that her actions cost the Silvergrove their assassin leader, one of their elders and one of the strongest moral guiding hands they had. Rayla cost the Silvergrove their most Moonshadow Moonshadow.
Without Runaan, the Silvergrove is probably reeling quite a bit, and Rayla’s failure is to blame, in their eyes. They’re all suffering, and they need to put the blame somewhere--other than themselves--so they can start to move forward again.
It’s far from ideal. It’s very shame and blame oriented. But it does hold to some internal logic that seems to bear out through the three ghostings we know of for sure so far.
Tumblr media
Another things Moonshadows are very good at is quick action. The moment they think there’s been a “mistake”, they move to address it. Whatever feelings they have on the matter, they process it in half a second (if at all) and jump straight to rectification. You attack the Storm Spire? Lain’s gonna kick you down the stairs. You think the Silvergrove ghosted you unfairly? You literally run to Ethari for help. You see Rayla trying to stay on the mission? You grab her wrists so she can’t draw her weapons. You see your workshop doors open but no one’s there? You stop working and fetch a hammer in case you need to smash a vindictive ghost. You think your friends failed their duty and dishonored you? You take everyone you can to go uphold that honor, including a 15 year old girl. (Holy cats does that mean everyone on Runaan’s squad was family, oh god) Swift action is a reassertion of the rules, of what’s right, so no one forgets. That’s got to include ghosting for things that are really terrible.
What I do find interesting is that Eljaal, the homesick assassin who is afraid to return home, may not be worried about ghosting specifically? But it’s a little unclear. I think there is something else they fear, perhaps a lesser punishment? But still one they can’t yet bring themself to face, poor elf.
I do think Moonshadow society is very stressful on the mind, and all these elves have become very skilled at hiding, mitigating, and otherwise working around their stresses and traumas. The greatest illusion that Moonshadows play is the one that Everything Is Fine, because there is always more work to do, and they keep telling themselves that they’re the ones who must do it, for everyone elses’s sakes. Laziness and selfishness are probably the same thing to Moonshadows. Hmm, maybe that’s why Runaan lets his family drag him off to picnics on his birthday, so he doesn’t seem selfish for wanting alone time.
In very very long, anon, Moonshadows are a Mess tee emm, and they’ve been designed that way from the start: doing their best inside a flawed system. This is the heart of their imperfection. They will probably benefit from spending time with literally anyone else aside from just themselves. They really really need to get out more, or to let someone else in, because the strictest of their own traditions are actually ruining the life and beauty they work so hard to celebrate.

hmm maybe you could just rank them according to your personal preference?? i think it would be a little different from the other one right
Sure! I’m sticking to canon ships.
1. Stelena
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have an entire masterlist dedicated to why Stelena is number 1.
2. Forwood
Oh, Forwood:
Caroline and Tyler were fundamentally altered because of their supernatural conditions and that shift was the basis of their relationship. Becoming a vampire empowered Caroline, she had a sense of strength that she never had, she was confident and centred, she became everything she wasn’t in season 1,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
which allowed her to be emotional support for Tyler
Tumblr media
who, because of the werewolf curse, became everything he wasn’t in season 1 too: humble and vulnerable and grateful for assistance
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and that allowed him to actually take the emotional support from Caroline
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
so they actually grew together through this time, complementing each other and seeing different sides of their personalities, surprising each other even though they’d known each other since childhood.
And also no one gives Tyler credit for being a loving, whipped boyfriend
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and like
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and just look at them
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don’t care what anyone says, this is such a cute exchange
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
3. Stebekah/Steferine
I put them together because which one I prefer more depends on the day. I like Stebekah because they’re dark and there was a lot of potential there:
I think that Katherine unfairly gets credit for the second half of a Dark Stefan ship. Every time Stefan has been rebellious or dark and has had a woman at his side, it’s been Rebekah such as in the 20s:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And such as season 4. When Stefan was just tired of all the Delena and   Defan and triangle bullshit and was like fuck it, I’m doing something   for me, I don’t care if it’s a bad decision, he went to Rebekah for some  crazy sex with a crazy ass vampire: 
Tumblr media
So I think Rebekah has insight into the depraved, dark, deviant Stefan because she relishes it with him
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I like Steferine a) because of Dobsley chemistry b) because I find their dynamic interesting
[Steferine is] the one ship that the show portrays the baggage and the hurt and the sort of inescapability of certain connection quite well although it’s not emphasized so I wonder if they actually portrayed it well on purpose? But anyway.
The reason why I think it’s done well is  because I think the relationship contradicts the idea that loving someone is always good, Katherine’s “love”/obsession with Stefan in fact  continuously destroys him and hurts him […] She  is more in love with the idea of Stefan loving her than she actually is  with Stefan. That’s why she hijacks Elena’s body in season 5 and  attempts to seduce him because  let’s think about that. Katherine hijacked the body of a woman she  hates and tries to seduce Stefan as that woman, a woman whose break up with him was a trigger for his PTSD, a woman who was in a relationship  with his brother and she doesn’t think or care about how seducing him as this woman would fuck with his head:
It’s also why in season 2 she threatens to kill Elena while Stefan watches because it doesn’t matter if he’s scarred or hurt, what matters is owning him:
And Stefan knows that about Katherine and yet Katherine knows Stefan’s psychology, she knows how his mind works, she knows which ways to get through to him:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and that creates a lot of tension for Stefan and you see it because it’s like, “you legit ruined my life though, like you completely fucked with my head, fucked with my life, I hate you, like I legit hate you”
Tumblr media
and yet, AND YET, I can’t help but be of comfort when you’re in need
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and as much as I hate you, when you’re around there’s just, there’s this thing (because Stefan always looks like he’s a half-step away from having hate sex with her)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
At the same time, Stefan is never able to let Katherine in completely
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And  he also experiences catharsis by being able to torture her in season 2  then kill her in season 5 and despite dying with her, killing her again  in season 8, he gets to continuously avenge himself which other victims  on TVD don’t get to do
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
4. Beremy
Here is the thing about Beremy and my opinion on them is definitely framed by the fact that I now know that the only other relationship Bonnie is really in is with Enzo and I think Bonenzo is bullshit, but the thing about Beremy is that Jeremy goes hard for her (especially in season 2) and I don’t think that’s quite acknowledged.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I definitely think that Kat deserved a better screen partner because Steve didn’t really have much of a presence onscreen
Tumblr media
but I do think his lack of presence is also why a lot of good and cute Beremy scenes go unnoticed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and I don’t think their chemistry was bad, like it’s not Grahamwood chemistry, it’s not Somergraham chemistry but it’s not like Steroline flat or Delena cringey, it’s decent:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
like their first kiss is a good first kiss
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and I’ve also said that they’re at their best when they do angst, that’s where they live. It’s not Stelena angst or Forwood angst but it’s pretty good angst
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The way Enzo is supposed to love Bonnie, I think we actually see with Bonnie and Jeremy
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jeremy is this puny pre-hunter human but he goes into the tomb for the moonstone so Bonnie won’t have to use her magic.
Tumblr media
In 2x18 when it was all don’t tell Elena that Bonnie will die trying to take down Klaus, Jeremy essentially chose Bonnie by telling Stefan what was going to happen.
Like look at the way he smiles here:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
but the writers really fucked this over: And here’s the thing about that. I can understand the fact that Jeremy never really got closure from Anna and that seeing your girlfriend get dragged out, screaming, by cops and knowing that your uncle killed her would be traumatic. But it’s like JP wanted to humiliate Bonnie with this triangle because first of all, Bonnie is the only character who’s been cheated on and not only are the overall stakes of the show super low for the consequence of Bonnie using her magic to be Jeremy being able to see his ex-girlfriends, it’s a petty way to punish Bonnie. Moreover, it’s not just that Jeremy kissed Anna, it’s not even just that he’d been talking to her and essentially having an emotional affair with her, it’s that he degrades his relationship to Bonnie for Anna and when Bonnie finds out, Jeremy legit couldn’t give a fuck and he does nothing to get her back and he’s just never apologetic about it, not toward Bonnie anyway and then it just gets to the fact that Jeremy has a tendency to only care about the women he dates when they’re about to die and it’s just, I understand why the whole Anna situation keeps people from shipping them or giving Beremy the time of day.
5. Maroline
OK Maroline gets a lot of flack and it’s not that I don’t understand why and it’s not like they didn’t have issues but 1) their coming together was organic and on a show like TVD, having two people come together organically is actually pretty rare, it’s basically Stelena, Forwood and Maroline. I enjoyed the fact that despite being opposites, they found emotional common ground, they bonded over the fact that they were both lonely and they both felt isolated and they were both desperately seeking someone to love them
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and their respective stories support this interaction
Tumblr media Tumblr media
it’s not just something that’s said to be said, we see Matt’s life, we see him have no parents, we see him to the best of his ability try and keep tabs on Vicki, who is dead but he thinks she bailed, we see Elena fall in love with someone else right in front of him, we see Caroline’s abusive relationship with Damon, we see her insecurities from Day One in the pilot but their bond didn’t just stay at them wanting company, they actually had fun spending time together, they actually liked each other
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and I liked that it was no pretense, I liked that it was Family Guy and junk food. You know, Klaroline ha the champagne and the ball gowns, Forwood would just “be” a lot, you know, they were the enjoying each other’s silence kind of ship, Steroline as a couple .... but Matt and Caroline, like, hung out and I liked that.
2) They were super realistic for a teenage relationship and I respect that. Like this is so high school
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I remember being 16 and doing things to “test” my boyfriend or the guy that I liked, I remember my guy friends being reluctant to express liking a girl because of what their friends would say, I remember being a teenager and just doing teenage things, which is what Maroline did,
Tumblr media
I don’t fault them for that, and yes, in season 1, Matt would be like, we’re not going to last etc.
Tumblr media
and I don’t blame people for being put off by that, I wasn’t because it’s pretty 16/17-year old boy but you also see how that doesn’t seem to be what he actually thinks
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and we see that expand in season 2
Tumblr media Tumblr media
which is why the infamous Mattlena hug scene in 1x17 had me, like, the writing is just contradicting itself now because in 1x16, we have this out where Matt  explain being over Elena and seeing her as a friend and at peace with the fact that she loves Stefan because he’s into Caroline so having Caroline look in on them again was like, we’ve already covered this especially since it’s not consistent after 1x17 either.
Like the whole thing is that she can be exasperating --- and people forget that Caroline actually can be exasperating, she made an offhand classist remark about Bonnie liking the bus boy, which Matt overheard, she was dealing with vampirism and Tyler’s transformation but Matt didn’t know anything about that so she just came across to him as hot and cold, he didn’t have context --- but he loved her anyway
Tumblr media Tumblr media
With regards to when he finds out she’s a vampire, I like how people are more pressed about Matt being involved in trying to take her down when he has no frame of reference for vampires other than the fact that one killed his sister and they’re not like, wow Liz, that’s your daughter, but I also like how as they ‘grow up’ and become entrenched in the Supernatural, despite the fact that Matt consistently says he wants nothing to do with it, both of them look out for each other
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
6. Klaroline
I’m pretty indifferent to Klaroline, I don’t have strong feelings about them but I have maintained that they are better than Delena
Even Klaroline does a better job with that dynamic and those kinds of arguments than Delena because you see Caroline be like “I can’t do this, why the fuck am I even here?” every time they’re together  
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the dynamic DE was supposed to have better, the “fiery” “passionate” thing works for them because they know how to argue and because they play up the conflict
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’ve also maintained they have good chemistry: and yet their chemistry begins winning me over in the scene and I think what really sells it is that Candice reacts to the phone call in a way I’ve only seen Caroline react to Klaus and it’s this sort of… she catches her breath/is stunned
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have a vid that’s basically just of their gazes because they’re always charged, they have a very seductive chemistry and it suits their dynamic because the more Caroline interacts with Klaus, the more she’s drawn to him and that shows with the kind of chemistry they have where, as someone who is quite indifferent to their dynamic, the more they interact onscreen the more I want them to remain onscreen, I start off unimpressed (much like Caroline) and move toward being engaged (again like Caroline) and like I said, they do their dynamic well too, Caroline’s annoyed-but-charmed and Klaus’ arrogant-but-charming
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(although their physical chemistry is not great) I just don’t think they have any real narrative.
7. Simara
This is purely about Dobsley chemistry: I have spoken about Silas and Amara quite a bit actually, but honestly, mostly in relation to the chemistry between Paul and Nina because I think that the SIlas and Amara storyline is textually weak and it felt rushed, there isn’t much nuance so I don’t find their story particularly tragic because we didn’t spend enough time on it but I still find them tragic because of how Paul and Nina played the tragedy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like it was a storyline that just let Paul and Nina do their magic onscreen,
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
they didn’t have to try to undercut it with dialogue or anything so I appreciate Simara because I love seeing Nina and Paul working together but in terms of the content, I’m like I don’t really care.
Last: Delena/Bonenzo/Steroline

The Rights Of A Nindroid
Chapter Twenty-Three
(Previous Chapter Here)
Yeah this is the chapter I cried in have fun-
“I still can’t believe we’re doing this.” Lloyd’s voice is shaky with disbelief as he pulls up another piece of paperwork. “I- I’m seriously going to run for Emperor.”
Kai nods, going through his own papers. “It’ll be worth it.” He assures. “And after we rescue Zane, you can just resign. There’s no law against that.” He pauses. “I don’t think there is, anyway.”
Lloyd turns to look at him. “You want me to run for Emperor just so that I can resign two minutes later?”
“No, I want you to run for Emperor so we can rescue Zane.” Kai arches an eyebrow as he reminds him of the point.
The green ninja sighs, nodding. “That’s fair. But if I did resign after, who would take my place? I can’t exactly trust a civilian with the role.”
Kai feels a grin form on his face as he comes up with an idea.
“Why not me?”
{ { { { { { { { { { ~ } } } } } } } } } }
Zane shifts in his bonds uncomfortably, refusing to make eye contact with anyone.
"Comfortable, yet?" Kyle sounds like a mixture of amused and annoyed, and the tone only makes Zane feel worse.
He turns his head, refusing to look as the Falcon is brought into the room, flapping his wings and straining in their grasp as he’s taken to the table and stuck to it.
"I'm speaking to you.” Kyle points out. “So, you know, I kinda want an answer."
Trembling, Zane can hear his voice breaking as he speaks. “... please…” he begs the word softly, not even sure what he’s begging for. Mercy? Kyle would never give him that. And after what he’s done, accidentally or not, does he even deserve that?
The blond sighs. "...M'kay, it can wait.” He decides. “We have more important things to do, anyways."
Zane can feel himself tensing more and more as he watches Kyle out of protective gear from the corner of his eye. He steps closer to the Falcon, and Zane finally manages to make himself speak.
“W- wait.” He chokes the word out.
Glancing back at him, the blond frowns in slight confusion. "Hmm?"
Fumbling for words, Zane struggles to come up with some reasoning, some bluff, some way to keep Kyle from- from-
“I- I can’t let you-“ He gets out, his words broken and desperate. “-you can’t take him apart.”
He stares pleadingly, silently begging even more, mind racing as he tries to find a way to stop this.
Kyle’s voice is gentle, consoling. “I have to.” He sighs. “I'm sorry but you have to learn that your actions have consequences. How else are you going to remember that? We've tried everything else already."
“I- I’ll remember.” Zane quickly forces the words out. I’ll…” He winces. “I’ll follow orders.”
"Yeah, see, that's the thing.” Kyle sighs, shaking his head. “You already tried that. Lying to us, telling us you'll behave and whatnot. And we can't have that happen again, can we? This way you will learn your lesson."
“I- I can’t let you…“ His voice is weak and pathetic as he speaks. “Please?”
"No. I'm not here to debate this with you.” The words are firm, brooking no room for argument. “I'm here for it." He gestures over at the Falcon, and Zane feels some annoyance seeping into him.
“He’s not an ‘it’, he’s not like me, I-“ Suddenly, he freezes, breathing catching as he realizes what words had just come out of his mouth.“Wait. Wait, that’s not what I…”
Kyle’s laugh is barely audible, but it still stings. "No, I think that's really what you meant.” He smirks some as he stares Zane down. “You know your worth, Original. It's not me you want to convince, though."
Dropping his gaze, Zane struggles to find an argument. “No.” He gets out. “No, no, no, no, no, that’s not true, I- slip of the tongue, a mistake, not- not something I believe, I…“ He shakes his head, trying to clear his mind and figure out what to do.
“Sure.” The amused voice that Kyle has showcases how the blond doesn’t believe him- Zane is struggling to believe himself.
He can hear a scarily familiar noise of metal clicking, but it doesn’t register for a long moment. He looks up, trying to find another point to make.
His stomach drops as he sees that the Falcon’s chest plate has been opened, allowing them all to see the bird’s inner workings.
He- he doesn’t have time to be worried about himself right now! He needs to protect his friend!
But all he can do is stare in horror as Kyle pokes around inside, an excited look on his face as he studies the wires.
It makes Zane feel sick. This demented game of his is gut-churning, and after a moment, Zane turns his head, unable to look.
Kyle is quietly muttering something to himself as he examines the inner workings. The Falcon squawks, a distressed noise escaping him as the blond fiddles with something inside.
The noise forces Zane to look again, and now, he’s unable to tear his gaze away from the sight of his first real friend being taken apart in front of him.
His words are soft, helpless, weak. “Leave him alone…” He breathes out, feeling himself begin to shake.
The blond is humming to himself as he ignores him, ignores both Zane’s words and the truth about the horrible things he’s doing.
Panic washes over him. “St- stop it, you can’t…” He raises his voice, trying to get Kyle’s attention. “Master, please!”
Softly, he continues. “Please, don’t…” He trails off, unsure of what to say.
"I told you. I won't.” Kyle shakes his head, glancing back at him for a moment. “Stop asking or this will not go as smoothly as it does now, alright?"
Trembling, Zane realizes that he’s on the edge of crying, on the edge of simply giving in to his misery.
“I can’t just sit here and do nothing!” He shouts as anger takes over, straining in his bonds.
"You've been doing it since the start.” Kyle points out. “Just behave, it's not that hard. Look, even the Falcon is taking it pretty well!" The blond smiles.
The Falcon’s left wing comes off.
Horror floods through every bit of him. “That’s not…” He trails off, cringing at the connection he shares to his friend, at the way he can almost feel the same things he does.
Is there… there really is nothing he can do. Nothing he can do but watch, be a witness to the Falcon’s death.
The blond is still smiling, and Zane once again feels his stomach churn. This isn’t right. Zane would rather it be himself being dug through then have to watch this be done to his friend, but even if he offered, it would not be accepted.
This is a punishment.
There’s nothing he can do but take it.
The other wing comes off, and Zane can feel his breathing becoming ragged, helpless to watch Kyle playing with the insides of his friend.
Zane tries to hold himself together, he really does, but he can feel himself breaking as he begins to cry, shaking and trembling as he does the non-human equivalent of tears.
The blond pauses for a moment, looking over at him. "...Are you crying?" He questions, seeming somewhat startled by this.
Zane continues to cry. “N- no.” He chokes out the word weakly, wishing he could tear his eyes away from the horrible sight.
Seeming amused, the blond shakes his head. "...Okay." He shrugs. After a few more moments of looking, he finds the Falcon’s power source. "Ah-hah!” He grins. “Finally!"
The power source. The most painful part that can possibly be manipulated, the sensors built in to protect it the best.
The Falcon is going to die a horrible, painful death.
And there’s nothing Zane can do about it.
Shaking, trembling, a horrible idea comes to his mind. He’s- he’s still connected to the Falcon. He could possibly save him from such a painful fate…
If he shut him down himself.
Zane rapidly shakes his head, dismissing the idea as he begins to sob every more, hating how it even came to mind. He couldn’t do that to his friend! He- he couldn’t cause his death!
So he does nothing but stare as the power source is manipulated, closely inspected by the blond who has become the bane of Zane’s existence. The Falcon starts to struggle more, and much to Zane’s dismay, Kyle shuts off his voice box.
"Better." The blond mutters to himself, continuing to examine the source.
Maybe- maybe the idea he had would be better. To just… put the Falcon out of his misery. To save him from such a slow death.
Zane feels his breathing even out some as he comes to his conclusion, knowing what he has to do.
The blond begins to cut wires that connect to the power source, but his friend is unable to even scream, unable to do anything but take the horrible misery.
Zane ducks his head, his voice barely audible, even to himself.
“Forgive me, my old friend.”
The words are soft, broken, representative of how he feels on the matter. But he has no other choice.
He initiates a permanent forced shut down.
Kyle seems startled when the eyes of the Falcon dim and go out, blinking in confusion."Hmm?” He murmurs to himself. “Urgh, darn it. Probably cut too many too quickly.” He sighs, shaking his head. “Well, let's finish this anyways. We could use the parts."
Barely even listening to the first part, Zane feels himself go rigid at the second.
“No, don’t… Master, please, I- let him rest, now.” Zane begs desperately, his voice shaking. “He… I’m not asking for a burial, just… let him be.”
Kyle hesitates for a long moment as he glances between the deceased Falcon and Zane. Finally, after a long pause of looking torn, the blond nods.
"...Fine.” He concedes.”Not much we could do of it, anyways. The components are too unique."
Ducking his head, Zane feels a wave of relief wash over it. “Th- thank you, Master.”
But as he looks at the body of the Falcon, at the body of his first real friend, lifeless and unmoving, he feels himself start to cry once again.
The blond wears a bittersweet expression. "Don't get used to it."
Zane gives a miserable nod, his words breathed out softly. “I- I won’t. I…”
He hesitates a long moment before continuing.
“I- I apologize for my previous words and actions.” He whispers. “I’ll… behave from now on.”
He hates having to speak the words, but what he hates even more is that they’re true. He really doesn’t plan to disobey again.
Zane looks back up at Kyle, looking him in the eyes as he struggles for words, for something to say.
Nothing comes to mind, and he simply lowers his gaze, feeling himself begin to sob once more.
He was built to protect those who cannot protect themselves.
But he can’t even protect himself. He can’t fulfill his one function, the one thing that he was created to do.
Maybe it’s better this way. Now, the only one he can let down is himself.
And he doesn’t matter that much, anyway.

Patient is the Night
Tumblr media
Pairing: Suho x reader
Admin: ღ
Word Count: 2k
Note: We are deeply sorry for the lack of posting recently. As you can imagine, it’s not easy being a three person team! However, we are going to do our best to post more in the future. This was actually a commission I wrote as part of a fundraising campaign for the BLM movement - you can find more details on this on my blog @flowesona​. 
Her clothes were way more comfortable than usual. That was the first thing (Y/N) had noted when she woke up, in a completely different house to her own. She was wearing a negligee made out of fine slippery silk, that was soft to the touch. (Y/N) was entranced for a moment, running her fingers through it without the question of why she was wearing it plaguing her.
But she could only stay curled up in the king sized bed for so long - the growling of her stomach provided a good motive to get up and explore. It was only as she peeled back the covers and heard a groan she realised someone was sleeping next to her. (Y/N) paused her escape to observe her companion. To put it simply, he was stunning. Glowing skin, silky dark hair and perfect plush lips. 
‘Now is not the time to get distracted. I need to get out of here, wherever I am!’
(Y/N) scorned herself, as she tried to remember where she was last. All she could recall was getting into her car after a long day of work. And she could not recall seeing a man like the one beside her ever before in her life!
Wanting answers she finally rose out of bed, floorboards creaking slightly underneath her feet. That noise was enough to make the man stir, eyes creaking open to observe the disturbance.
“(Y/N), come back to bed. It’s way too early to get up.” He muttered, reaching for her arm and pulling her back down onto the bed. His arms wrapped around her, pressing her to his body as he sighed in content.
“Who are you? And how do you know my name?” The man opened his eyes once again, a warm sleepy smile on his face.
“I’m your boyfriend. You can’t possibly have forgotten about your precious Suho, right?”
~ღ~
It was almost picturesque. The sun was beating down, there was a warm gentle breeze, and Junmeyon’s chest made the perfect pillow. (Y/N) had started to drift off into sleep, when he suddenly sat up.
“Someone is here.” He said, his expression hardened into a frown. Junmyeon didn’t often frown, and it really didn’t suit his face - seeing him so uncharacteristically upset unsettled (Y/N) slightly.
“How do you know that?” She murmured, still reluctant to leave her happy daze.
“I can hear them. Heavy footed bastards.” Junmyeon sighed, standing up and leaving (Y/N) to bring herself back into reality.
“I’m sure it’s just the wind. Or some animals. Please, I don’t want to go back home yet.” She whined. Junmyeon didn’t even flinch.
“Stay right here. Don’t move an inch.” He commanded, and like that he was gone, stalking away with dark intent.
At first, the most of (Y/N)’s worries was that she was cold. After all, the sun had gone in, and she no longer had Junmyeon’s embrace to keep her warm. The picnic blanket had to act as a suitable substitute, the warm tartan felt providing some sort of comfort though it couldn’t hold a candle to her boyfriend.
He’d been so sweet recently. Truly, he wanted her to see his love. From bringing home flower bouquets purchased at the farmer’s market in the nearby town, to spending hours pouring over his cook books to make her favourite childhood dishes. And at his height of generosity, he offered to take her into the woods for a picnic. (Y/N) had initially been skeptical of his offer; she was sure he’d find an excuse not to do it, a work obligation or bad weather. But - sure to his word - he’d packed up a basket with an assortment of delicious foods and a flask of tea, and had led her down the barely trodden path into a movie-like clearing.
His intentions were pure. But his sudden disappearance marred the occasion, as (Y/N) waited for him. Seconds turned into minutes, into hours. The sun was starting to set, and there was no sign of him. 
Maybe it was a cruel trick. A punishment for some unknown misdeed - she’d confessed to him a few days that she was afraid of being alone in the dark, to which he’d promised she’d never have to spend another night by herself. But those words were empty now, as it was growing increasingly dark and she couldn’t see him. 
(Y/N)’s eyes flickered to the barely trodden path from which they’d arrived at the clearing. If she squinted, she could follow the path for about a hundred yards, before it winded out of sight. If only she’d paid attention, then she could dash back to the comfort of their home.
Maybe that’s where he went.
The haunting thought rattled her brain. Junmyeon could have forgotten her, and after investigating the sound he’d return to their home before the sunset.
The idea of being abandoned made (Y/N) let out a sob, her eyes filling with tears. He didn’t leave her with anything, just the basket filled with some empty containers and a meagre blanket. Perhaps it was a Hansel and Gretel situation, and Junmyeon had just wanted to rid himself of her.
(Y/N) staggered to her feet. She’d be damned if she was to die alone in a forest. She had to fight her way back to civilisation. Even if Junmyeon didn’t want her, someone surely would?
Abandoning the warmth of the picnic blanket, she started to tread carefully towards the path, shivering with fear. The darkness had really started to set in at that point, and even the slightest crack of a twig or call of an owl was enough to scare the life out of (Y/N).
She started to regret leaving the blanket behind, as goosebumps rose on her arms in response to the biting cold. She could only rub her hands along her arms and hope that she would stumble into humanity at some point. The insecure thoughts in her head were almost bubbling over, so much so she was barely paying attention to her surroundings and not evening noticing when the path was no longer under her feet and instead she was trudging through twigs and dirt.
Her attention was brought back as she felt her foot becoming stuck on something - a stray branch or exposed root - and she fell to the floor letting out a cry of pain. Her ankle was severely twisted, becoming red and hot to the touch, and (Y/N) wanted nothing more than for Junmyeon to emerge from the darkness, to tell her he was sorry and to whisk her away to the warmth of their home. She couldn’t hold her grudge against him when her body was in pain. 
“Suho? Suho? Where are you?” The young woman called out to no avail. All she heard in response was a rustling of the bushes and - fearing it was a predator ready to eat her up - she scrambled to her feet and staggered away as fast as she could with the aching of her limb becoming more prominent by the second.
Eventually, after what felt like hours of limping she heard a voice. Not just any voices. She could recognise it clearly and even in the darkness she could make out two figures. One hunched over the other one, which seemed to be unmoving.
She attempted to speed up her pace to reach them faster, but the aching pain in her limp only meant she could attempt a limp stagger, before falling onto her knees.
“Suho! Suho, please help me! Please, don’t leave me alone!” (Y/N) cried out, hoping he would listen. Some part of her still longed for him, even if he had left her all alone.
The hunched over figure raised its head, seeing (Y/N) injured form and instantly making its way to see her.
As it approached her, she could make out Junmyeon’s features clearer, although there was something slightly different about his face than when she’d seen him hours before.
“Suho? What did I do wrong? Please, just save me already!” (Y/N) cried, as he knelt beside her. His gentle fingers caressed her face. She flinched in response, as she felt some warm liquid transfer from his digits to her face. 
“(Y/N), I thought I told you to stay put. Look at what’s happened to you.” Junmyeon cooed, his eyes trailing to see her injured leg. 
“I-I was so scared. It was cold and dark and I was all alone! I’m so sorry Suho, I couldn’t do it.” She cried in response, shivering as he scooped her up into his arms. He just tutted as she nestled her face into his chest, not caring about how his white shirt was stained.
~ღ~
“I need to see it properly, my love.” Junmyeon caressed her ankle gently, trying to get his lover to stretch it out fully so he could treat the wound. 
(Y/N) shook her head, tears already leaking out at the excruciating pain. 
“It’ll get infected if I don’t apply disinfectant. (Y/N), you don’t have a choice.” Junmyeon’s firm voice was enough to coax her into offering up the full area of injury for inspection.
“My poor love.” He offered comforting words as he cleaned the wound, applied the disinfectant, wrapped it up in bandages. “You’ll need to rest for a few days hmm? No more going out for at least a month.” 
(Y/N) stayed quiet, her lip still quivering slightly.
“I’m sorry it had to be this way. If you’d stayed put then-”
“Do you hate me?”
The words hung in the air, as Junmyeon tried to process the accusation.
“What?”
She shrunk back, suddenly losing all gall she had.
“(Y/N), I love you more than anything in the world. Please, don’t ever think otherwise.”
“Why did you leave me yesterday?” She asked cautiously.
“There was some business to take care of. But it was all for us. I promise, (Y/N).” Junmyeon planted a sweet kiss on her lips.
She finally smiled back at him.
“I love you.”
“You know I love you-” Junmyeon’s declaration was cut off by the shrill ring of the doorbell. “I’ll be right back.”
He gave her one last kiss to quell her fears before leaving the room. She heard him welcoming the visitor with a loud, friendly greeting, before a more sombre hushed voice interrupted his. 
Their conversation was muffled through the door, though she could tell through Junmyeon’s tone that the visitor was the bearer of some sad news.
(Y/N) wanted to hear what they were talking about. Junmyeon should trust her, and what he knows she should know. Even if he wasn’t prepared to divulge in the details of how he spent the time away from her, she wanted to know.
She pushed herself to her feet, wincing at the pain when she put the weight on her foot. Hobbling to the door, she pressed her ear to the wood, hoping to make out a bit more of the conversation. Through opening the door a sliver, she could hear exactly what they were saying.
“You’re expecting me to believe this is all a coincidence, Mr Kim?” A deep voice posited.
“I had no knowledge nor involvement in the death of your comrade. Send my regards to Byun’s wife, and if you’ll excuse me-”
“How did you know his name?”
The tension was so thick you’d need a saw to cut it at the very least.
“I’m sorry, you must have misheard me. Now, if you don’t mind leaving my premises.” Junmyeon’s voice had gotten a lot sharper.
“There are things you’re not telling me. We can do this here, or we can talk at the station-”
There was a loud bang. (Y/N) flung open the door to see that the visitor - a detective, by the looks of it - was lying dead at Junmyeon’s feet, a smoking gun in her boyfriend’s hands.
“Sorry, my love. You weren’t supposed to see that.”

Chapter 21
In the church engulfed in silence —
Sitting on the bench, Charles speaks of conversation he had with Mimi, bit by bit.
Charles “......Even if she believes in Dazai, she said she can’t believe in me.”
Charles “She said he’s never a person who won’t be sad by a person’s death......but a long time ago, I used to be sad a lot too?”
Charles “What’s the difference with me and Dazai? Mimi seems like she’s having a hard time with Dazai......”
Faust sighs at Charles who’s muttering vaguely.
Tumblr media
Faust “How rare, for *Shall to show negative emotions.”
(*Faust called Charles ‘シャル’ instead of his full name シャルル
Charles “Negative emotions......?”
Faust “Are you jealous?”
Charles looks up blankly at Faust.
Charles “I’ve never been jealous of anyone before, but......”
Faust “Your UNawareness is a pain.”
Faust “It appears that winning over vampires in the mansion is out of the question.”
Charles “Such thing is non-negotiable/undiscussable, huh?”
Charles “But Dazai —”
Dazai “If you could make my wish come true ···— I might be interested to get on with our discussion.”
Charles “Despite saying it like that, he didn’t tell me after all.”
Charles “What is Dazai’s wish, I wonder? What does he desire to the point pretending not to see Mimi’s favor......”
Faust “......”
From the information they received from Shakespeare, the reasons of resurrection for the great men in the mansion......
......their purposes and backgrounds were being investigated.
But regarding Dazai, his exact purpose remains unknown and has not been reported.
Faust thinks with his finger on the chin, and opens his mouth after a while.
Faust “......Shall. You once said that Dazai’s past might be resemble you.”
Charles “Hmm......yeah.”
Charles “I used to execute......a lot of people. That guy let someone died too, although the amounts are different.”
Charles “I don’t know what caused his double suicide affair, but......”
Faust “If that’s the case, a thought experiment......would you like to play an *association game?”
Charles “Game?”
Faust “It’s simple. — What do you think of the person who’s causing other people to die?”
Charles “......”
Charles’s suffocated by the cruel question.
Faust, observing his reaction, urges Charles to answer with a sharp gaze.
Charles “......Regret, I guess. Even if I said I’m sorry......no matter how much I apologize, it’s not enough.”
Faust “And, there’s no way for atonement.”
Faust “So — what if you could go back to the world before you made a mistake?”
Charles “Huh......?”
He blinks.
Charles “If I can go back......if I can do that, I’ll stop the execution.”
Faust “How? Are you going to let the dying people escape?”
Charles “If it’s possible, I’ll do it then......”
Faust “You’ve got a point there. Then, if there’s a more fundamental solution —”
Charles “Fundamental solution......”
Charles drops his gaze on the floor and thinks carefully......and suddenly raises his face.
Charles “The executioner ···— it’d be good if I were gone.”
Charles “—··· Ah, I see. Perhaps Dazai......”
Charles smiles, as if he discover a star before his eyes.
Charles “......Hey, doc. Lord Vlad said this earlier.”
Vlad “If all the great men who influence the world disappear, what will happen to the future?”
Vlad “……Hmm, how interesting.”
Charles “If Dazai’s purpose is really ‘that’, is it worth trying?”
Faust “The great men to disappear......should we do that experiment?”
Charles “Yeah. If we’re to use that door, we can even try it right away. Lord Vlad said that the abnormality had subsided.”
Faust “No one could use the door properly except for His Excellency Vlad.”
Charles “But I’ve heard of it before.”
Tumblr media
Vlad “— The other side of the door is a space-time interval.”
Vlad “It gathers the earnest feelings of humans throughout every era and period. It’s such a door.”
Vlad “If you have a strong will, the door may respond and lead you to the desired place.”
Faust “......I see. It’s certainly interesting to see what happens if we succeed in using the door, but —”
While Faust’s face shows that he’s still has objection on the matter, Charles’s truly in bliss.
Charles “......Yeah, that’s it. It’s different from our original plan, but isn’t it better to fulfill Dazai’s wish?”
Charles “And then, there would be no death to come after this.”
Charles “Isn’t this a good thing? Mimi will definitely understand.”
Faust “— Shall. You......do you aware?”
Charles tilts his head to Faust’s voice, which has a slight suggestion of sounding out.
Faust “His Excellency Vlad still loves human.”
Faust “When he casts something away, he has his own standard, whether it’s necessary or unnecessary for the world.”
Charles “Ah, if I do whatever I want, will he get angry......?”
Faust “It’s not like that.”
Faust “......What are you trying to do is Shall’s own choice, not His Excellency.”
Charles “Uh huh, is that so......? But I’m sure it’s not in vain.”
Charles “Mimi might be sad if Dazai’s gone, but  — “
Charles “......I’ll fill the empty hole in her heart.”
—··· A few days later, MC’s going out shopping in town with Sebastian.
Tumblr media
Sebastian “Which reminds me, do you still read Dazai-san’s book?”
MC “Ah......, yes. Little by little between works and nights, though.”
MC tries to keep calm and answers the shaken topic that’s suddenly comes to her mind.
MC “To be frank, I still carry it around, even now.”
Sebastian “Right, Mimi is steadily becoming a Dazaist.”
Sebastian “It seems that Dazai-san is also writing.”
Sebastian “If there’s a request, allow me to do the editing or proofreading......”
MC “Sebastian, are you serious......!?”
Sebastian “Of course.”
Sebastian “But, it’s been particularly hard to catch Dazai-san again, nowadays.”
(......That’s right.)
MC hasn’t been able to talk with Dazai since that night he kissed her.
(He’s actually avoiding me after all......)
(But, I’ve been refused many times now, what should I do?)
The feelings of awkward, sadness......various emotions are mixed in MC’s chest and she cannot advance to the next step.
(Even so, I want to talk, even a little......I want to meet Dazai-san.)
When MC’s thinking about such thing, a scenery suddenly pops into her head.
(From what Dazai-san told me, if it’s that place —)
(I feel like I can meet him......)
There’s a strange sense like being called to the multicolored spectacle.
(Yeah......let’s go there.)
Sebastian “Mimi, what’s wrong?”
MC “Nothing......um, Sebastian. Can I take a short detour on our way home?”
And then, MC heads for —
Tumblr media
— alone, to the path she visited with Dazai before.
On both sides of the path, the hydrangeas still have their vivid petals. But......
(Dazai san’s —··· not here. As expected, such coincidence will not happen so often.)
(I wonder why? It felt so wonderful when I walked with Dazai-san, now I’m just lonely......)
Except for the changing seasons, the scenery doesn’t change that much, but it looks different.
Instead of someone she couldn’t meet, MC opens Dazai’s book.
(In those days, it was fun to be together, and it felt so natural to be close to Dazai-san.)
(Somewhere in my mind, I was hoping he feels the same way......)
MC “This is......a hairpin?”
Dazai “It’s a hydrangea hairpin. I thought it would look good on you when I saw it in the town.”
Dazai “All right, it suits you well. You look very cute.”
**
Dazai “You are so good at believing in people.”
Dazai “……Really, Mimi-san is so honest enough that makes you dazzling.”
Thing that were fun and exciting......when MC remembers the days she spent with Dazai, her chest tightened in pain.
(I wonder if we can’t go back like we used to......)
(No, even if we can’t go back —)
(Right now......the scariest thing would be Dazai-san will go somewhere that’s out of reach.)
Dazai “......If you’re going to say that far, then tell me.”
Dazai “What kind of things filled my heart/mind while I kissed you just now?”
MC “......Dazai-san, are you angry? That, or is this also your intention of being a clown......”
Dazai “Hmm, who knows?”
Dazai “Mimi-san, I......I’m afraid of your straightforwardness.”
Dazai “When you’re with me, I ···—”
(I'm still curious about what Dazai was going to say back then......)
(What is making Dazai-san baffled to be with me......?)
For that little while, it seems MC was able to reach the edge of his heart, and while she’s pondering on his words many times over —
MC “Ah......”
Maybe because MC was distracted, the book slips off her hand.
She reaches out to pick it up in a hurry......and catches sight of a sentence from a page that opened by accident. 
—「駄目な男というものは、幸福を受取るに当ってさえ、下手くそを極めるものである。」
“A hopeless (useless/no good) man is someone — even at the time he receives happiness — will carry his hopelessness to the extreme.”
(Happiness......Right, Dazai-san too —)
Dazai “Listen, stop have feelings for such man, since I cannot make you happy.”
MC “How about Dazai-san’s happiness……?”
Dazai “I don’t need that. I don’t wish for it anymore.”
That guy, being stubborn, doesn’t even try to accept something like happiness.
(Since the reason for his revival is “to accept punishment for making other people unhappy”......)
(But I —)
—··· MC wants Dazai to be happy.
He scoops up the subtlety of human hearts, and give them incomprehensible kindness in indirect (roundabout) expression.
(But even then, he always takes a step back......)
MC wants to reach out for him —··· who’s alone at a distance and feeling lonely in his whole life, as he sinks into a dark place.
MC “Dazai-san......”
MC picks up the book as if touching his heart gently, and as her feelings welled up, she hugs it tightly to her chest......
......there were eyes staring at Mimi from the shade of tree.
Tumblr media
Dazai “I just turned my legs somehow, I wonder why are we attracting each other......”
Dazai “The weak fear happiness itself, huh......?”
—「弱虫は、幸福をさえ恐れるもの」 
“The weak fear happiness itself. They can harm themselves on cotton wool. Sometimes they are wounded even by happiness.”
After muttering a sentence he once wrote in ‘No Longer Human’, he laughs, like mocking himself.
Dazai “Mimi-san, I’m afraid of you. Since when you’re with me, I feel happy......”
Dazai quietly leaves the place, as their thoughts and feelings passing by one another —
Tumblr media
He then goes towards the man who summoned him.
Charles “Welcome, Dazai.”
Dazai “It’s an honor to be welcomed directly to your stronghold.”
Tumblr media
