VAMPIRE SNOWCROW X READER AU BUT ZAYNE AND READER ARE THE VAMPIRES AND SYLUS IS HUMAN AND SO UTTERLY DOWN BAD FOR BOTH OF THEM BUT THEY REFUSE TO FEED ON HIM AND HE'S GOING ABSOLUTELY INSANE BECAUSE HE JUST WANTS TO BE BIT THE FUCK UP BY BOF'EM

That is all, sorry for yelling.

“I’ll learn whatever I couldn’t do before”

I think Rafs hunger to learn for/abt mc is one of his hottest traits ngl

[follies-a-deux]

I’m sure there’s a perfectly normal explanation for all this.

[follies-a-deux]

Oh, to actually be his kitten 🥺

[follies-a-deux]

Im a little late posting this considering this text was sent out like a week ago or sm but this post is half dedicated to the people in the ask box who were asking for Mephisto taped to a roomba lmao i havent figured out how to incorporate that idea into something i wanna post just yet

I also need you guys to know that luke and kieran were supposed to be in this but when i removed their sketch layer, i realized it was WAY funnier without them there

Comfort 💕

[follies-a-deux]

Five times Mephisto stole something, and one time he received a gift. Sylus/MC. Rated T. A drabble sequence.

i.

“I can’t find the bracelet I was wearing last night.”

“Have you checked under my pillow?”

“Why yours?”

“In your sleep, you threw yourself over me and grabbed my pillow with one hand, and one of my wrists with the other, and held me there for at least an hour.”

“Why didn’t you wake me up?”

Sylus watches her ever so closely for more than a moment.

“I was comfortable.”

Just as she is lifting up onto her toes to claim a kiss, a cawing shatters the quiet, wings swooping low with a gold and amethyst bracelet in curled claws.

ii.

A grating cry, albeit a familiar one, draws her attention away from her phone and skywards, just as claws dig into her shoulder and metal features ruffle in her ear.

“Mephisto? What’re you—“

He drops a fragile silver flower into her palm; a flower that yet feels too heavy for it to be—

...The new dessert shop down the street. Their outdoor display decorated with ornate sugar blossoms and...

“Mephie! You can’t just take those!”

Tilting his head, he gives her the crow equivalent of a shrug.

And she finds herself forced to eat the evidence of his thievery.

iii.

“Mephisto, hold still.”

“Maybe he wants to keep it,” Sylus suggests.

“It’s meant for the cat. The tabby that keeps catching birds?”

Ironically.

“I thought the bell would—“

Mephisto gives a nip clearly meant to warn, not to hurt, and she darts her fingers back from the collar held in his grip.

A drawled, “I think that’s your answer,” is full of warm amusement.

“Maybe I could bribe him...”

“Exchanging one vice for another. I see.”

Snatching up a pillow, she launches it across the room and hears the dull thud of it striking true, followed by low laughter.

iv.

“He isn’t allowed to undo all my hard work! That’s cheating!”

“He isn’t rescuing me. You chose hair ties with little plastic gems. It’s theft, not altruism.”

Indeed, Mephisto next secures a brilliant green ‘gem’ in his beak and tugs, determinedly dragging free his trophy from his master’s hair as Sylus flinches, but allows him to continue all the same.

“I’ve been trying to encourage him not to—“

“And you bring little prizes to his home? Rather... mixed messaging.”

From beneath a cushion, she draws her phone, brandishing it.

“Oh well... At least it will make a nice picture...”

v.

A tangle of silver and gold tips from Sylus’ palm into hers.

Earrings. A collection of her earrings – just one from each pair – that she had long given up on locating.

“I found them with two of my necklaces and a tangle of silver wire,” he informs her in dry tones.

“Maybe he’s nesting. Trying to attract a mate.”

“...I’m quite sure he’s not programmed for that.”

She bites down on her lip before sliding a sly look up at him.

“He can... learn from examples, can’t he?”

A faint smirk.

“Do you have any suggestions for our nest, then?”

vi.

With the window left open just enough to accommodate a certain visitor, she takes her time in scattering across the breakfast bar the vibrant mix of little gems and crystals in sunset hues.

Birdseed for one very particular bird.

As Mephisto flits back and forth, always when her back is turned, she sneaks glances to see whether he has been discerning in his selection and identified precious treasure from created crystal.

“You can’t steal a gift, Mephie,” she tells him as he absconds with a fragment of rich citrine.

He caws.

And waits for her to turn before claiming another.

The LADs as Legend of Zelda races cuz I said so

Rafayel - obviously Goron 🙄 /j bro's literally a Zora

Sylus - he gives me Gerudo vibes. Like, he is absolutely Ganondorf

Zayne - I peg him (teehee) as a Rito. They live in cold areas and idk it just feels right to me

Caleb - also a Rito given his gravity Evol and flying

Xavier - okay... y'all might disagree with me but... Hylian... I see him as like Link, given his association with light and his swordsmanship

" -longing for the wind and petals to arrive."

[Concept: Mephisto is tired of this "will they, won't they" game of theirs. Contains mild hurt/comfort, doubt and unease in regards to their relationship.]

I have no idea if i managed to translate what i has in mind into the actual execution. I like to experiment with how i make these little drawings so i apologize if this was a lot;;

I wanted to convey the frustration i felt whenever MC or Sylus don't say what's on their minds. Whether it's pride or not wanting to look weak to each other, i wanted to present that idea from someone else's perspective, free from their inner turmoil or trauma.

I'll make it up to yall with a goofy post next i promise!!
