#oc: sebastian wei

[stridingwriter]

👻 ghost: can you tease some wip ideas that have been haunting you/something you want to write in the future?

Okay so my whole thing is that I have chronic and continuous brainrot in regards to Ares and Viktor. Specifically their time together. Which means, while yes, Ares is dead in the main WIP, I do have so many notes about their time together. They are the OTP of all of my OC ships.

Basically their whole history and their intersections with Leo from Sacrificial Lamb as well as Julius. Just the Cardinals in general have been itching at me very much. Like they were basically their own little found family of sorts who were super protective of each other who had a terrible fallout after their Captain dies.

Similarly, I have ideas for the three ex-military men as well as Ophelia who is more of player in Leo's storyline (they're the one m/f ship that I really do enjoy). Which involves Cato coming back from the dead to go home, Julius dealing with the fact that Cato comes back wrong and the three trying to fix their relationship again. Which then brings up another WIP.

Namely, the existence of Lucas Liu who's a detective who has his storyline in parallel to Viktor's. Also is the one who actually gets Leo to open up again after Sacrificial Lamb. Which also means that Sebastian and Orion are also a thing, specifically Lucas is trying to catch Sebastian to prove himself while dragging Leo around for the ride. That means Sebastian's whole crew also exists and they have their own story.

So... you can see that I have many WIPs who grow on top of each other... There is just, so much to explore in the universe (mainly the city itself) which doesn't even include the ones that happen outside of the city itself. Such as my professor/student ship (Yang Fu and Hugo Wright) that happens a couple hours outside of the main city so they aren't even impacted too much by the happenings.

And there's the most disjointed little story I have about an obsessed artist (a director) and his muse who are off doing their own things. Riley and Jules are busy trying to learn how to communicate through the arts while shit is hitting the fan around them.

⋆.˚𖦹⋆✮⋆.˚

Hello xx, I'm Alastor (Als, Alstor, Al, A) or 秋 (qiu), you can call me as any of the aforementioned or if there's any nicknames you would like to bestow on me feel free as well b(^^)b - I am 17 y/o this year and turning 18 in June 2026... So take that with whatever you will-

He/She pronouns, don't mind they/them but please refrain from doing so :D ☆ Mostly Eng, Mandarin / BM (sometimes), interested in learning more languages ...

Main media/fandoms- Les Miserables, F1, and 全职高手 (The King's Avatar)

And my OC :D

I am very very attached to all three of the above... The most prominent fixation as of right now is of course, Les Mis but the other two are still very much active (especially in my brain). I also partake in RPF fandom stuff JUST SO YOU KNOW.

Other media/fandoms/interests- The Beatles, Hamilton (the musical), The Odyssey, animanga in general, House MD, Sherlock Holmes (ACD, BBC and most adaptations), Pokemon TCG, Hyv games and others....

I do block freely to curate my own experience. Generally idrc about anything because each to your own... I like to interact with people as well!!

More detailed info below!! (And by more I really do mean MORE.)

Les Miserables

My favourite Les Mis characters are Jean Valjean, Javert, Marius, and Cosette. Favourite ships are Valvert (my OTP) and Marisette, though I'm also not opposed and sometimes inclined to Mariposette (or whatever they're called, but it's a weirder version of them lowkey)...

I really really really really enjoy the musical version of it as well :D. Fav songs are Stars, Empty Chairs at Empty Tables, Bring Him Home and One Day More. But also very very much soft for On My Own and A Heart Full of Love.

Fav cast is the 10th Anniversary Concert the Dream Cast with Colm Wilkinson as Jean Valjean, Philip Quast as Javert and Micheal Ball as Marius Pontmercy. But every cast is dear to me, especially the Original London Cast and John Owen-Jones as Valjean :D.

Formula One

My fav F1 drivers are Lewis Hamilton 44 and Fernando Alonso 14 as of the current grid. Retired/not in f1 anymore drivers I really enjoy Sebastian Vettel, Checo, Jenson Button and Kevin Magnussen. Older eras of F1 you'll probably just see prosenna (Aryton Senna and Alain Prost) and Launt (Niki Lauda and James Hunt).

I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY ADORE SEWIS, FERWIS and SLAGCLAREN. Also like Chestappen, Strollonso and others (random drops)...

Forza Ferrari sempre of course but I have soft spots for Haas and Aston Martin... Which is probably why I'm always miserable when I watch this sport not gonna lie.

全职高手 The King's Avatar

Fav is 魏琛 / Wei Chen and 韩文清 / Han Wenqing.. However, I do like all of the characters well enough :DDD they're all my children (affectionately). I do like to pile trauma on them so do take note because they're filled with headcanons.

Others

I like Hamburr (Hamilton musical), am a John Lennon girl (The Beatles) and am obsessed with McLennon an unhealthy amount.

Animanga- my faves are One Piece, Death Note, My Dress-up Darling and Love is War.

I believe in the "Odysseus is just a tragic hero who is just a man" narrative.

Favourite Pokemons are the Scorbunny line (Scorbunny, Raboot and Cinderace), Charizard, Greninja, and Gengar. Favourite of all is Cinderace. And favorite element is the fire element.

For Hyv games I play Honkai Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero. I'm a Welt, Ruan Mei, Gallagher and Dr Ratio main (HSR). Also a Lycaon main for ZZZ.

I would like to thank all the older F1 blogs (2009-2017) that still exist. Because even though around 90% of them are inactive by now, they decided not to deactivate, and left behind a huge treasure of content.

Thank you, truly. It’s a delight to go back and see photos/videos/GIFs I hadn’t seen before <3

F1 Wild Side - Discord server

After a few people in the FG server enabled me to do so (you know who you are <3), on January 31st, the F1 Wild Side Discord server was born. It’s a server for anything F1-related, with a focus on drivers and shipping.

This server is 18+ ONLY and free!

Meaning that, you can be as fluffy or as filthy as you want in the same channel. There are practically no content or topic restrictions, so let your deepest desires run wild!

“What do you offer?” Glad you asked! Currently we have:

20 channels for individual drivers (three separate channels for: Feeder series ; Retired drivers ; Formula E)

35 channels for ships (four separate channels for: Driver/Non-Driver [OC & others] ; Team Principals ; Personal Trainers ; and OT3&more)

General channels, such as: Drive to Survive ; Racing ; Memes ; Positivity+Pets, and more!

Custom emojis and roles!

Voice channels to hang out and play games!

A fun and chill community <3

Don’t see your favourite driver or ship? Worry not! There is also a Suggestions channel, ask there and I’ll add it :)

[Note: ‘A/B/O Dynamics’ has its own channels, if you’d like to avoid that specific trope. That way, you can navigate the server, and not accidentally stumble upon it :’)]

“Hmm, sounds good, how do I join?” Thanks for being interested! It’s very simple:

Click the link below:

After you join, and read + accept the rules and leave a brief intro (mandatory!) I'll give you full access to everything :)

Napoleon Birthday Prompt 2020 Day 4: Secret

Fandom: Ikemen Vampire Pairing: Napoleon Bonaparte x Isabella Leatton (OC) Word Count: 1,799 words Prompt: [ dance ] / [ “I’m not going to step on you this time, you’ll see.” ] Warning: None, I guess? It is more of hurt/comfort though. A/N: Part of @kissmetwicekissmedeadly 's Napoleon Birthday Prompts 2020. Check the original post here! So, this fic was suppose to be done... 500 words ago. Or 700. I'm not sure. But the point is, my muse has gone off into a tangent again and so here we are. This wasn't suppose to be a hurt/comfort, but it had ended up that way. I was not prepared to hurt my dear Isabella like this, but the muse wants what she wants, and I cater to her whimsical ideas. I am but just a vehicle for her literary visions. Anyway, enough about that nonsense and let's get into the fic, shall we?

---

It was eerily quiet. Napoleon closed the door, yawning as he made his way through the foyer. He'd woken up late today as usual, but to his surprise, it wasn't a pair of soft lips that greeted him awake. It was a gloved hand and Sebastian didn't say anything more than a greeting and that pancakes were freshly made and ready to eat downstairs.

She wasn't there in the dining room when he arrived. The others who were there didn't know where she was either, saying that they hadn't seen her this morning either. Isabella had been acting strange these past few days, avoiding him whenever he tries to spend time with her. There was always some sort of excuse that took up most of her hours, only seeing her again at dinner and before they settle down for bed. And even then she would fall asleep relatively fast, murmuring about how tired she was before drifting off on his chest.

Not only that, but it also seemed that she was hanging out with a few of the residents a bit more. Once, he spotted her speaking to Arthur with a hushed tone, cutting their conversation short as he got closer to them. There was also a time when she entered the music room, her presence making the piano keys stop in their tracks and resume only when she left. Neither of those bothered him at first, not until last night when she mentioned about her sore ankles.

Normally, he was not one to push. He knew that people would open up about it in their own time if they chose to do so. The only thing he can do in the meantime is to give support and wait until they're ready. But this was different.

What could she be working so hard for? More importantly, why is she keeping it a secret from him?

Since no one knew where she was, he started his search in the mansion. A quick sweep through the second floor revealed that she wasn't there--she would leave the door slightly open to signal where she was if someone needed to locate her. The garret was empty and so was the training hall and the thermae. By the time he finished combing through the gardens, Isaac was waiting for him by the gate to head into town together for their little school.

When they returned, the lobby was just as empty as they left Since dinner was still a few hours away, Napoleon decided to head to his room to lie down for a bit. The sound of voices from the game room didn't interest him until he heard her laughing, her words muffled from the thickness of the door.

He didn't bother to knock. What he found was rather unusual, given its occupants. Arthur was seated on the sofa with his legs crossed, a seemingly innocent bystander of the scene unfolding in the middle of the room. Isabella was in Leonardo's arms, her hand clasped in one of his and the other resting on his shoulder. The taller man's free arm was around her waist a little too snugly to his liking, an exasperated look present on his face.

Comte, who was standing close to the two, looked at him with a curious look. "Is something wrong, Napoleon?"

Resting a hand on his hip, he did his best to school his features and sound casual. "No, but I need to talk to Isabella about something if you don't mind."

"Hm, I suppose it is time for her to take a break. We can always continue later if you want." The painter reached to ruffle her hair slightly, chuckling when she pouted and ducked to get away from him.

"Geez, Leonardo! Did you have to mess up my hair like that?" She walked over to him, smoothing down her hair as she approached. "What did you nee-oh!"

Napoleon took her by the wrist and pulled her out of the room, leaving the three men behind to exchange glances. He didn't stop until they entered his room, bringing her into his arms as soon as the door was shut. She let out a surprised yelp, tilting her head over the strangeness of his actions. "Napoleon? What is it?"

Nuzzling in her neck, he took a deep breath of her scent and sighed. "I haven't seen you for days."

"That's not true. I wake you up and see you at night during dinner. We even head for bed together."

"I meant that we hadn't spent that much time with each other."

"I guess so. There's quite a bit of work to be done around the mansion."

"That's not it. I mean... it feels like you're avoiding me."

"Avoiding you? Why would I do that?"

He looked up at her, thinking the same question. "That's what I want to know. Because even when I try to catch you at a free time, you're suddenly headed somewhere else or talking to someone else about something. And the next time I saw you, you were with the other residents and having fun with them. Without me."

"It's not like we were doing anything wei--" Isabella paused, observing him before she tilted her head. "Wait. Were you... jealous?"

Ah. So that would explain the heat swirling in his chest earlier. "Don't change the subject. This isn't about me."

"I'm not trying to."

"So why are you avoiding me but acting the same with the others?"

"I'm not avoiding you nor am I favoring spending time with others over you. And that's the truth." Her eyebrows knit together as her mouth pressed into a thin line, her voice taut with restraint.

Napoleon guided her to sit on the bed, kneeling in front of her. He recognized that look on her face--it was that look she gets when she's trying to shut off her emotions. Taking a deep breath, he clasped her hands in his and gave it a gentle squeeze. "You know you can tell me anything, right? I know that something's troubling you." When she didn't budge, he continued. "I don't mind how long we have to stay here until you're ready. But I'm always here for you."

A quiet moment passed before she sighed, her shoulders dropping from their uptight position. She cast her gaze down on their joined hands resting on her lap, fingers idly fiddling with his. "You remember that party we were invited to a couple of days ago. The one where we danced and had almost bumped into another couple on the floor."

He nodded. It was a thank you from a nobleman that he rescued a week ago. The man was a jeweler on the way to deliver a client's commission when he was coerced into an alleyway to be robbed. He had noticed just in time to disarm the thief of his knife and took him to the nearest police station. Before he left, the man had promised to reward him with something and received a letter of invitation to the party the next day.

"When you went to talk to the nobleman, I heard a couple of women talking about how clumsy I was. It wouldn't have bothered me as much until... they started saying how it made you look awful. How they would've made for a better dance partner. How I... wasn't fit for someone like you." She swallowed, her voice faltering into a soft tone as she tightened her grip on his hands. "I told myself I'd learn how to dance properly so that... I can prove them wrong..."

Napoleon knew that there had always been a conflict in the back of her mind, something in the vein of 'being a good enough match for him', or rather, who he had been when he was still human. It was never said out loud, but there was no need--it was moments like this that spoke out for what she truly felt. She's the one who's most aware of her flaws, always trying to cover it up one way or another and fix it on her own. That sort of independence was something he admired but also detested, especially when it led her to this.

Moving up beside her, he guided her head to his chest and caressed her hair. "Isabella," he started, feeling her weight as she leaned into him, hands gripping on his shirt. "it doesn't matter what other people think or say. The only thing I care about is you and I'll always love you for who you are."

She trembled in his embrace, overcome with the meaning of his words. To whose standards is she not right for him, he will never know, because the sole opinion that mattered to him was his own. He loves her entire being, faults included, and she loves him with unadulterated affection. That was the only truth they needed.

It took her a while to look up at him, hazel eyes misty with unshed tears as she nodded. "Thank you."

Pressing a kiss to her forehead, he waited for her to compose herself before asking. "So, you were asking them to teach you how to dance?"

"Yes, Napoleon, I was." Isabella let out a tired laugh, taking a deep breath before nuzzling in his neck. "I've been asking them in my spare time."

"But Leonardo doesn't know how to dance."

"The one teaching me is Comte. He insisted that I practice with Leonardo earlier to test how much I've improved."

"And Arthur?"

"He saw it by accident once and was just there to gawk and poke fun at us."

So that's what it all was. He felt a bit silly to be so worked up about it. "Why didn't you ask me to help you?"

"I would have, but I wanted to surprise you. I was going to show you that I wouldn't step on your feet next time." She wrapped her arms around him, lifting her head to look up at him. "Were you jealous though?"

He pouted just a bit. "No."

"Really? I could have sworn you were when you barged in the room like that earlier."

"That was just your imagination."

"Oh, I see. And you searching for me throughout the whole mansion earlier was just Vincent's imagination?"

"Yes." Napoleon smiled, relieved to notice the ache in his chest has disappeared. She shook her head at him, chuckling softly as she rested her head on his chest. Leaning backward, he collapsed down on the mattress with her on top of him.

"I know they're expecting me soon, but can we stay like this a little longer?"

"Of course." He kissed the top of her head, his hand already running up and down her back. "As long as you need."

OC Profile: Alexander/Rhea Sutcliff-Michaelis

It’s about time that I gave y’all a proper introduction to my second OC, Rose’s younger twin.

Alexander (generally “Xander” for short) is a biromantic demisexual. Xander takes after Sebastian in terms of having a fluid gender identity. Most of the time, they’re male-presenting (as shown in the first 4 pictures), go by “Alexander”, and use male pronouns. However, Xander sometimes has periods where they prefer to adopt a female form, use the accompanying pronouns, and go by “Rhea.” (the last two pictures). Of course, the rest of the family is very accepting of this.

Xander is a bit shy and reserved, but he has a warm, loving heart coupled with an even disposition. He’s the sort of person who’s always willing to lend a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on. He often serves as the mediator during familial disputes.

He has Grelle’s sharp teeth and red hair and Bassy’s black nails and crimson eyes.

When the kittens were little, Grelle and Sebastian took them on a trip to the aquarium. Xander was excited to see that the sharks’ teeth looked like his and Grelle’s. For a long time afterwards, he referred to her as “Mummy Shark.”

Xander loves animals.  He’ll often accompany Sebastian on the demon’s trips to local rescue shelters (Bassy regularly volunteers at these places in order to help the cats).

Xander has an artistic side, too. He adores the theatre, and, along with the other kittens, usually joins Grelle when she performs in productions at community theatres in the human world. However, unlike his mom, Xander prefers to work in the crew, far from the spotlight. He excels at backdrop painting, costume design, and makeup. He also has a knack for making puppets (cute ones, not the scary horror film kind!) and regularly holds little “puppet theatre” productions for his family (often throwing in a little magic for special effects).

Another hobby of Xander’s is making/repairing clocks and watches.

Xander shares his parents’ passion for high heels, especially black boots like Sebastian’s. He owns dozens of pairs!

As mentioned in Rose’s profile, Xander and his twin were attacked at their home by a small yet vicious coalition of “anti-demon” reapers while Ronald was babysitting them. Although Rose was able to fend them off long enough for Bassy and Grelle to rush to the rescue, Xander was severely traumatized. He still has residual guilt for panicking during the incident (which hampered his efforts to use his demon powers to assist his sister). Also, while he is very close to his “uncles” (Ronald, Eric, Alan, and Othello), Xander has a lingering fear of other reapers due to this hate crime. Therefore, he refuses to set foot in the reaper realm and is very skittish and uneasy whenever other reapers visit the Sutcliff-Michaelis residence. However, he did eventually warm up to Nina Montmarcy (Viola’s girlfriend) and Michael Kennsington (Rose’s boyfriend, a reaper and former MI6 agent who y’all will learn more about in a subsequent post!)

Out of all the Sutcliff-Michaelis household, Xander is the most fond of humans. In part, this stems from him becoming friends with a feisty, adventurous little mortal girl named Darcy Braithwaite when he was a child. When Darcy died tragically young (I think around 8-10) in a car accident involving a drunk driver, Xander was devastated. To this day, he still visits her grave regularly and has picnic lunches there (they used to have little picnics together during their play dates). After Darcy’s untimely demise, Xander vowed to become a “god of small things.” As such, wherever the Sutcliff-Michaelis family happens to be residing, he does his best to answer the prayers of any hurting soul in need.

I need to work out the details, but Xander eventually falls in love with a mischievous but kind-hearted Ghibliesque water dragon, who typically takes the form of a handsome young Chinese man (for my Mo Dao Zu Shi peeps, he basically looks like Wei Wuxian with a silver streak in his bangs, though his hair is sometimes much shorter depending on his mood. Also, in human guise, he normally wears the Gusu Lan-style blue and white rather than Wei’s red and black). Over the years, Xander and his husband adopt scores of orphaned and abandoned baby magical creatures, forming a large, diverse, happy family.

Of course, if you have any other questions about this soft cinnamon roll, please let me know! :3

@spellcasterz Sorry I took so long with this, but here ya go!

☄️ Comet - Who is your most self destructive character? Why are they like that?

Sebastian Wei takes the cake for it mainly because they're younger than the others and unlike the rest of the characters, their sole constant in life is trying to kill them for betraying him. Though well, Sebastian's always been a leader in life and people listen to them so maybe they have a knack for making choices for other people and occasionally backstabbing them out of paranoia ever since Orion backstabbed them. And they were best childhood friends!

Except now, Orion is the living example of someone they fucked over out of anxiety and is also one of the first who betrayed them. It's a circular feedback loop that feeds into each other and it's just, Quite Terrible for Sebastian who has only gotten more self destructive over time. Orion does not help with his constant attempts to kill them.

OC Interactions # 2

What they don't tell you about most people is that it's easy to rob them, take their wallets and the brilliant physicist is no different. They almost want to laugh at the sheer simplicity of it all. Then, of course, Sebastian turns and runs directly into trouble.

Not the literal kind. Something more metaphorical as the supposed famed hero of this city stares them down.

"It's rude the steal," the famous Shui points out, every word coming out of his mouth curt.

"I thought you were going to say it's illegal as well," they remark rather unhelpfully. So much for the apparent slick and the street smarts growing up.

"Only if you get caught."

"And I don't, Cardinal."

That gets a reaction out of the other man, a flinch that Sebastian barely catches. Really, it's an opening except-- goddamn telepaths. The physicist must already be alerted by now. Sebastian will simply never have any peace from this point forward.

Can't even steal a wallet without getting caught red handed with all of the telepaths running about. Goddamn Cardinal North.

"They wanted to get something back to you," Shui offers all sorts of offhanded when the physicist comes running by. Sebastian wants to throttle this man, wants to know if there's anything they can do to knock him off that high horse. "It seemed that your wallet fell out."

The physicist groans, the expression on his face twisting into a look of misery. "I knew I should've bought a larger bag."

"Maybe get deeper pockets," they comment.

"In this economy? Fuck that," the physicist replies without missing a beat.

"Fair point."

The Cardinal tilts his head, a cue to had it over and Sebastian doesn't know why they bothered in the first place. There's not that money in academia. They hand over the wallet which the physicist takes with a grin.

"That wasn't so hard, was it?" the Cardinal remarks and Sebastian grimaces.

"It was painful actually."

"Then maybe don't pickpocket when there's a telepath around."

************************************************************************************************************************************************

March 28, Monday, 9:03 (present time)

“He’s going to be here in twenty-seven minutes and he’s a really punctual person, you should’ve been more than ready by now. You have ten seconds to get up. Ten.”

“Don’t scold me like I’m a baby, Seb. It doesn’t suit you.”

“Then why are you acting like one, clinging on the bed like this? Eight.”

“You just skipped one second.”

“No, it’s just that seconds pass and you’re interrupting. Five.”

“All right, you win. I’m up, I’m up.”

“Good girl.”

“Seb?”

“Yes?”

“Do you find me obnoxious?”

“This morning? Yes, you’re making my work a lot more difficult.”

“I’m serious.”

“Not particularly. You can be sometimes, but that’s not a word I would usually use to describe you. Why?”

“No reason. I’m going to take a shower.”

Of course there was a reason, and it was the way Captain Levi Ackerman looked at me. I was sure he hated me for some reason, because in his eyes I noticed something more than just diffidence. I could understand why he wouldn’t trust me easily, but his gaze was too intense, like there was anger involved somewhere. But why towards me? My mind was stuck wondering in circles about this question, since the look he gave me when we were alone the day before was still burning my skin. In the shower I scrubbed my body harder than usual, trying to erase the sensation. My mission failed miserably. 

************************************************************************ “…Mizuki will serve the tea. Are you even listening?”

“What? Oh, yeah. We’re having tea in the living room served by Mizuki. He’s reserved so I have to ask more questions as possible, knowing he won’t answer to everything, trying not to overwhelm him.”

“Good, so you were listening. Why your arms are so red, by the way?”

“Oh, I was thinking of how to talk to Hanguang-jun while showering and got distracted and scrubbed too hard.”

“Let me get the cream to treat your skin. You should take better care of yourself.”

“Seb, I sleep with you. It is a fact that I don’t take good care of myself.”

“Touchè.”

************************************************************************

The silence while Mizuki poured the tea in our cups was filled with tension. These were the moments when I would’ve paid for a better, brilliant and extroverted personality, like Cesare had.

“Thank you, Mizuki. Hanguang-jun, I hope you find yourself at home in here. I’ve read about Gusu and I know this is an entirely different environment, but there are some places that maybe will be of your liking. Mizuki could probably show you some of them”

“Mh.”

I needed a strategy to start a proper conversation with him and so I decided to use my best resource: Cesare. He was someone we both loved deeply, and he was the only reason why we were in the same room, drinking tea. 

“Hanguang-jun, forgive me for my straightforwardness but I don’t want to waste your time. I know Sebastian already explained who I am and my relationship with Cesare.”

“Wei Ying. Wei Wuxian.”

“Yes, I apologize, I’m not used to call him with that name. Wei Wuxian.”

“Sebastian has explained. You are his shimei.”

“Shimei?”

“Younger martial sister. He used to call you shijie, but he was wrong to use that term since you are younger than him.”

“Shijie. Yes.”

I read about his way of referring to me in the files. Shijie. It had a sweet and delicate sound and even if he never called me that way when he was with me, I swear I could hear his voice repeating that title in my head. We never called each other with names that weren’t Cesare and Lucrezia, but I thought it would’ve been beautiful to hear him calling me “shijie”. Then I would’ve called him A-Xian, as the files said Jiang Yanli, that was my other name, used to do. 

“So you knew about me? May I ask what did he tell you?”

“I didn’t know much. He fought for you when Jin Zixuan spoke ill of you, so he clearly cared for you. We weren’t very close back then.”

Jin Zixuan’s identity was definitely something to investigate in the future, so I made a mental note to ask about him later. For now I had other questions in mind.

“I see. I think Sebastian also explained about the files and our complicated identities.”

“Mh.”

“…without revealing the contents of those files.”

“Mh.”

“Very well. Then I must ask you, before I reveal too much, what exactly do you know about my brother? I’m not asking about his identity, but mostly about what happened to him after your period together at Gusu.”

“Wei Ying fought with Jin Zixuan and left Gusu, his shidi stayed. The Wen sect started to gain power and killed whoever opposed to them. I met with Wei Ying on various occasion before and during that war. I noticed that something changed within him, he wasn’t using the correct methods of cultivation. After the war was won, his shidi took charge of the Jiang Clan but Wei Ying wasn’t part of it anymore because he defended some members of the Wen’s sect. I visited him once at Yiling, were he stayed with the remnants of the Wen’s sect but he disappeared soon after. I didn’t know what happened to him then, all I knew was that he fought with the Jiang leader, who later secluded himself, and he was gone. Everyone thought he was dead but I thought otherwise since there was no trace of his body.”

“You were right. He didn’t die then. But…”

I didn’t know how to tell him. I knew how Hanguang-jun cared for my A-Xian, he travelled all the way to another continent and dressed into European clothes and met a total stranger to know about what happened to him. I looked at Mizuki and Sebastian to gain the right amount of courage and speak those dreadful words. Saying out loud he was gone was something I would never get used to.

“…he is now. He died a few years ago.”

He looked down on his cup, lowering the head in silence. He parted his lips slightly as he was finding the right words to say, probably to say his condolences or to leave, but I interrupted him. 

“The files I received recently showed a way to bring him back. Seems there is a chance. He wouldn’t come back as Wen Ning, as a living corpse, but in a human body.”

He looked at me with his clear golden eyes. His face always had the same static expression, but his eyes conveyed a lot of emotions and I was trying to decipher every one of them. I swear I saw a glimpse of hope as he guessed a possible method.

“A sacrificial ritual.”

“Yes. It seems like someone is willing to sacrifice his body, or at least he will be. The name is Mo Xuanyu. Do you know him?”

“He disappeared some time ago.”

“Sebastian and I were thinking that maybe he has already sacrificed himself but something went wrong since my brother’s soul is broken and mayb-.”

“Broken? What do you mean?” 

Right. He didn’t know about the core Wei Wuxian sacrificed for Jiang Cheng. At that point I decided to tell him everything. I told him about the core, about Sebastian and the contract he made with me and my brother, about how his soul was snatched by Claude, about the agreement we had with him and the plan to complete his soul before letting the dark man at my right devour it. Hanguang-jun listened carefully to every words I spoke, silently and expressionless if not for a small furrow between his eyebrows. His gaze was intense, concentrated and it moved from the cup of tea between my hands to my face whenever I said something that captured his attention. When I stopped my monologue the silence between us was filled with silent questions. Ultimately, he decided to reveal some of them. 

“So the change of his cultivations methods was because he gave up his core to Jiang Cheng and made a contract with…”

He looked at Sebastian, sitting at my right and I instinctively followed his gaze. Sebastian had a polite yet serious expression, aware of the fact that Mizuki was silently hoping for Hanguang-jun to snap and attack him right there, in my living room. But Lan Zhan was more capable of controlling his impulses than we all imagined.

“Lady Jiang, you wish to find Mo Xuanyu to confirm whether or not he’s alive and has already made his sacrificial ritual, knowing that since Wei Ying’s soul is not complete, something could’ve gone wrong and the spell could be compromised. But what if the file is wrong? What if Mo Xuanyu has no intention of sacrifice his body for Wei Ying?”

“From what I know, Mo Xuanyu has his reason to do so, maybe I’m being naive, but I think the file isn’t lying. If Mo Xuanyu’s backstory will reveal different from what I’ve learned and has no intention of sacrifice his body, then we’ll think about other routes to bring A-Xian back. But I’m not giving up this possibility. I hope to have your support since I don’t know about cultivation, I’ll need a guide to investigate some other methods within your world.”

“I don’t think there are methods which aren’t forbidden.”

“I don’t particularly care about what’s right or wrong, my brother deserves a chance to live a new happy life and even if there’s only one chance I’ll pursue it. I didn’t know it was possible to perform rituals who could bring him back to life, so I was resigned and ready to do everything to collect the fragments of his soul and lose him for good. But then the file showed me a way to let him have another chance at life and I won’t rest until I succeed.”

“And what’s the point of bring him back to life if your demon has to devour his soul and kill him again?”

I could perceive confusion and rage in his voice and, even if he remained perfectly seated, his eyes were burning. I looked towards Mizuki, the one who knew the honest answer to that question. I haven’t told Sebastian about my decision, but now it was time to explicit it. With our contract, there wasn’t really something he could’ve done to stop me anyway, he was bound to follow my formal orders. Mizuki grabbed my hand under the table and squeezed it while softly smiling at me, I reciprocated before closing my eyes, take a deep breath and answer. 

“Because I will order Sebastian to take only my soul and forbid him to claim my brother’s one.”

************************************************************************

I knew it. Now there is only one problem. How can I tell her that our contract isn’t formally complete since I couldn’t properly end the former one I had with her brother? Her power over me is limited because My Lord’s contract hadn’t been fulfilled and it had priority over the following contract I made. I am still bounded to My Lord’s last order, that was to protect her. Her order to take her soul and let her brother live simply won’t be executed. Should I even bother telling her? Maybe I’ll wait ’til she asks me. 

************************************************************************

Hanguang-jun took his leave after hearing my response; he said he needed to think it over. I still had a lot of questions to ask him, but I was aware of the amount of information he had to process, it was more than natural to give him some time. Now I had a couple of hours before my private meeting with Eren Jaeger, so I had to focus on an entirely different matter, but before I needed to clarify things with Sebastian. 

“Mizuki, could you please give us a minute?”

Mizuki kissed my forehead before leaving through the door with sad eyes. Only a few days were passed since he learnt about my relationship with Sebastian but he was doing his best to not quarrel when I asked him to leave. He was also aware that this time it wouldn’t be for pleasure, but to discuss about my revelation, so he was less annoyed than usual. He whispered something over his shoulder before closing the door but I wasn’t able to catch it. Surely it wasn’t something directed at me. 

“What did Mizuki said to you just now?”

“You don’t have to worry about that, A-Li.”

“Please, tell me.”

“He asked me to respect your decisions as he did.”

I smiled. My precious Mizuki, always so worried about me. I could sense the poison within his words, picture the hateful glance in his light green eyes, his vicious smirk and the vague threat that accompanied his sentence. 

“And can you do it? Respect my decisions?”

“Of course, in the end you don’t need my permission. At least not outside the bed.”

So shameless. 

************************************************************************

Sebastian left me alone after teasing me, promising me he would take care of me later while brushing my knuckles on his lips, never interrupting our eye contact. He never failed to make me melt with his touch, expert enough to have discovered quickly which buttons to push to make me a whining mess with little effort. That was exactly what I thought I needed, someone to take control and satisfy my needs efficiently, without any other implications. Unfortunately, I had another two meetings planned in the next hours and before I could lost myself in the neediness Sebastian had left me with, I went on the terrace wanting to enjoy the cold breeze of that cloudy Monday morning. I closed my eyes and left myself fall on one of the chair we left outside in an arranged little living room and put the earphones on. 

“Darling, I forgive you after all,

anything is better than to be alone.

And in the end I guess I had to fall,

always find my place among the ashes.”

I was sure I wasn’t in love with Sebastian, but I had to silently admit to myself that I depended on him more than I would've liked to admit. I couldn’t remember how I used to cope with emotional distress before we started to have sex. I knew it was wrong someway but still I didn’t care, I was only able to think of how good he made me feel, and not just in a physical way. I felt empowered and in control, not vulnerable, something I had never experienced in my life, which was surreal considering I was naked with someone I had sold my soul to. I was addicted to that sensation. 

“I can't hold on to me,

wonder what's wrong with me?”

I heard the music fade from the left ear and I immediately open my eyes and tried to intercept the wire of the earphones with my hand, blocking the wrist of the man who interrupted my break on the terrace. I clicked my tongue and looked at him. 

“You’re here early mr. Jaegar.”

“I know, but there’s a reason.”

“Care to tell me?”

“I am going to Marley. Alone.”

************************************************************************************************************************************************

Author's note: A little bit of domestic!Sebastian at the beginning only to be reminded how much of a demon he is later, I know, but that's how I view him. We have to remember he is tricking our protagonist even if deeeeeep down he cares a bit. As the song suggests (as always linked below) though, our protagonist does depend on him more than she would like to say. Still, I can confirm, there's no romance at all. Sorry to disappoint. But I like to think there's a bit of chemistry. Now, speaking of the future, what will Hanguang-jun decide to do? And what will our Roni do with Eren's plan? Maybe the next chapter's title can help...see you! Thank you for reading as always!

OC Interactions (1)

------ Orion/Sebastian----------

"Amateur mistake," Sebastian scoffs. The worse part has to be how his vehicle keys are in the thief's hands. The very keys that Sebastian surveys as if it were prey. "I almost wonder why you didn't get captured earlier." Part of him wonders if this thief - this conman - has ever not tried to piss someone off in the first five seconds of meeting them. Orion doesn't know what else he should have expected. There's people he's used to but not this, not a thief who has no issue criticizing anyone from any other profession. "What the fuck would you know?" he snarls in response. If his hands weren't tied together, he swears that he will kill this thief, damn the consequences. "Try robbing shit for a couple years and get back to me about it. Aren't I right, Felix?" "Fuck you." Sebastian, the fucker, laughs. "Do it yourself." 

[stridingwriter]

Pls share about original oc 👀👀👀

Oh man, I technically have so many... Jay you are letting a bull loose in a China shop with this question so I'll put it in the read more. Gonna mainly focus on the blorbos that I favour for right now:

Sebastian Wei - Seemingly confident and arrogant with a habit of making choices for everyone else rather than listening to them. He doesn't quite speak in double speak but is still slippery if you attempt to make a verbal grab. Also a superb con man. Long black hair, and clever hands, overall unreadable eyes; usually wears suits.

Adrian Hong - Quiet and a man of patience, Adrian keeps to himself and does not contribute to situations unless the situation calls forth. More on the tall side and moves more akin to a cat, always surveying for potential danger. Childhood friend of Sebastian's. Their relationship? It's complicated.

The following two are from my english project that I might expand on? (I love them)

Ethan Xiao - A determined young man who is dead set on proving something to his parents. If they are happy, he can rest. Ethan's much colder to people yet louder at the same time. There's one thing he excels in and it's running away from his problems.

Hugo Wright - Despite having the last name Wright, Hugo isn't one who's always in the 'right'. Much more of a rebel against his family in general - you could say he loathes them but it's complicated. He wants to make a life for himself, one where the opinions of others don't matter.

[grelleswife]

tell us about your OCs then!!!!

Yay! A brief rundown (so I don’t spam peoples’ dashes):

Rose Sutcliff-Michaelis: Grelle’s and Bassy’s eldest child. Redhead, good with machines, rides motorcycles, wears a lot of black leather, repairs cars in her spare time, and works in a dispatch division I made up (Death Scythe Repair and Maintenance). Practical, level-headed, and tough as nails. Has a hellhound named Eustacia who serves as her familiar. Eventually marries a reaper named Michael Kennsington who’s a former MI6 agent and looks a lot like Gevanni from Death Note.

Alexander/Rhea Sutcliff-Michaelis: Rose’s twin. Is gender fluid, but tends to spend more time in a male form. Looks like Rin from Free! Is a literal cinnamon roll and pure bean. A good listener. Enjoys participating in local theatre (helping with stage makeup, costumes, and painting backdrops). Inherited their parents’ love for high heels. Eventually marries a water dragon who spends most of his time in a human form (and looks a lot like Wei Wuxian from Mo Dao Zu Shi).

Viola Sutcliff-Michaelis: The youngest of Grelle’s and Bassy’s “kittens.”Very clever. Works in Forensics. Is the most demonic child and hence capable of soul-eating. Looks a lot like Sebastian and is drop-dead gorgeous. Is bi as heck and has an autistic lesbian girlfriend (Nina Montmarcy) who also works in Forensics. Has an artsy side as well (paints watercolors, plays the flute and cello).

Giuseppa Ricci: An OC who is eventually going to be shipped with Grelle in a different AU. Passionate bisexual Italian opera singer who also worked for the mafia. A ruthless, highly efficient killer who enjoys using knives (because they’re more intimate than guns, generate plenty of blood and gore, etc.). Became a reaper after her lover abandoned her for another woman, leading her to take her own life in a fit of despair. Grelle is assigned to be her mentor, and they soon start dating and eventually move in together. They are deeply in love.

Thanks so much for your interest! :3
