Alastor x reader

You’re relaxing on the lobby sofa, reading when Al looks up from his book.

Alastor: You know, I don’t believe I’ve asked you this before. What’s your body count, my dear?

Y/N: u-umm… that’s kind of personal, Al

Alastor: Hahaha! Why, I should think you’d wish for it to be public. Unless you have zilch in your belt. Surely you have a decent number.

Y/N: Why are you so interested? I didn’t think that was really your thing…

Alastor shrugs: why wouldn’t it be? One of my favorite hobbies!

Y/N: wait, what are we talking about here?

Alastor: Murder, my dear! What’s your body count?

Y/N: ….

Hi! I really like your imagines, so if it won't be a bother, I would like to request idea of my own uwu. S/O getting hurt by some accident, it's nothing serious but is uncomfortable, so Swatch using his healing magic to ease their pain (also he's very worried). And the s/o is a curios one so they studie his every move and touch, and at the end of the process shyly want to ask him about this ability because he never used it before (at least in their presence)

SWATCH IMAGINES||

The Dumb Things Series:10

┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉

You were rushing over to the Color Cafe at this very moment due to one of your message notifications saying that there was going to be a new sweet treat available, alongside with a new drink as well! You were very much excited, you were practically racing there. It also didn't help much that you were the partner of the one who owned that specific cafe-

You weren't exactly too far away from the cafe itself, yet you also weren't too close. It took some time to get there but you made it!...to the back of a very long line.

A little disappointed you tsked. Of course you'd knew this would happen but a part of you was wishing you would've been the first in line somehow.

More monsters were piling behind you and everyone slowly kept scooting forward to get into the cafe. All of a sudden you heard someone shout "WATCH OUT!" And you turned around to see what was going on. There was someone shoving people out of the way to get to the front of the line, clearly impatient.

The monster shoving other customers out of the way finally got to you. You stared them dead in the eye- "I'm not moving" you stated firmly, holding your spot. "Too bad, I'm not gonna be standing here all day just to try that new treat." The monster said in a snarky reply to you.

The monster grabbed ahold of you and shoved you pretty hard to the side. You stumbled back and fell. You used your arm to try and catch yourself from hitting too hard on the ground- but you had it completely stiff, so as your hand made contact with the floor, soon following your weight, it shot a jolt of pain upwards-

You called out in pain as you fell on your side looking at your arm.

Everyone in line was looking at you and one of the monsters ran inside to get help. Swatchlings immediately came out after and rushed to get you up gently. "Please move out of the way so we may take them inside!" The Swatchling holding you called out. Everyone shuffled to the side, making a path for them.

You gritted your teeth as they were hurrying you inside, the jostling around was causing your arm to ache more.

You noticed Swatch coming around a corner and seemed to be heading directly your way. He waved the Swatchlings over to him and they hurried over to his side. "What happened?" He questioned, immediately looking you over.

"One of the customers didn't want to wait in line and began shoving people aside in order to get in faster." Said the Swatchling next to you.

Swatch looked like he was in thought for a mere second as he stared at you after listening to the Swatchlings response. "My dear, what's wrong?" He noticed how you were wincing slightly and he lowered downwards towards you. He was tall, so you were supposing he was doing that so you didn't have to crane your neck up.

"My arm- I tried catching myself before I hit the ground with my arms out and..I messed up. They were stiff when I did it and I screwed something up in one of them." It was the truth. You most likely did injure something in your arm.

Swatch straightened himself out and made a motion with his hand, immediately gaining a nod from the Swatchlings.

Swatch walked off, and the Swatchlings were tailing him. You weren't sure where you were going but it seemed like they were heading to the back end of the establishment.

They whipped around the corner where you saw Swatch walk around before he came over to you. There was a very nice glass door that seemed to, well what you'd assume, to be an office of a sort.

Swatch opened the door, moving off to the side to let you and the Swatchlings in.

One of them pulled a chair from the desk and dragged it over to you. The Swatchling placed you down softly on it, and then left with the second Swatchling that was with you.

Swatch closed the door and then walked over and stood in front of you. "Which arm seems to be the one hurting, my love?" He leaned over downwards again, keeping eye contact with you. You choked up for a second, losing your sense of thought before you quickly gathered it again. You used your good arm and pointed to the one in pain.

He tilted his head and gave a soft nod. He popped a squat, to which caught you by surprise- and he rolled up his sleeves a tad bit. "My light, may you please lean forward slightly, I'm going to need your injured arm."

Something must've told Swatch you weren't to keen on someone touching it right now- because he let out a low chuckle. "I simply need to heal it. I promise my dear, it won't hurt at all and it'll be as if nothing ever happened." A smile reassuring smile placed itself on his face.

You hesitantly gave him your arm, which he ever so gently took ahold of. You noticed as one of his hands were on your arm, he moved the other over to where you pointed to, indicating where the pain was forming. A small glow of green and swirls appeared and wrapped around the injury you had. You were mesmerized and stared in wonderment.

You didn't know he could do this- not once have you ever seen him perform healing magic.

The green glow and swirls faded away almost like mist and Swatch took hold of your hand and softly lent you upwards toward him. "You see, my light? It didn't hurt at all." You laughed a bit, not mocking him but due to the fact he was right. "Yeah it didn't.." you trailed off as you just stared at him.

"What seems to be the issue?" He tilted his head off to the side and leaned in closer towards you. "I, uh..I've just never seen you use healing magic before." You stated shyly. "Oh, I suppose you are right, my love." You looked toward the ground, narrowing your eyes as you were in thought, and then looked back at Swatch. "D..do you think you could tell me more about your healing magic?..." You felt your cheeks heat up a bit. It felt a little weird asking the question since you weren't sure if you were pushing in on something that shouldn't be asked.

He moved back and got up, pulling down his sleeves and walked over to his desk. He sat down on the edge of it and clasped his hands on his lap. "What would you like to know? Any questions you have I'll gladly answer, my light."

You two spent almost 3 hours talking about his healing ability, along with a few pauses mid conversations when Swatchlings knocked and came to ask a few questions about orders.

Once the two of you wrapped things up, he took you to a quiet and reserved part of the cafe. He gave you the new treat and drink on the house, and he told you he'd blacklist the monster that hurt you from returning to the cafe.

A/N;

Haaa, sorry this took so long to get out. I hope you enjoy it!

[golde-ruby]

Swatch is very polite and a charmer. From first courting you to well into your relationship, they treat you with chivalry. Pulling out and pushing in your seat, opening doors for you, kissing the back of your hand, buying you flowers, all of it. They think you deserve to be treated like treasure.

They dish out compliments often. Maybe it's how nicely coordinated your outfit is, how nice a particular top looks on you, the joy in your smile, the sound of your laugh, how quickly you find a solution to a problem, how hard you've worked on a project...they have something sweet to say about nearly everything!

It's not hot air, so you know. They genuinely see a lot of beauty in the world and thus a lot of wonderful attributes in you. They're happy if they can tell you these thoughts they have, for it's both a chance for them to express and they hope their words make you happy.

They are often busy with work, so your date nights usually have to be scheduled.

They don't take you to Color Cafe for dates as it's their workplace. They'd rather go somewhere that they can be treated as a guest rather than employee.

One of their favorite types of date is sightseeing. They like taking you to the Ferris Wheel, where you can sit next to each other and hold hands while you look over the city. Or out of downtown where you can watch fireworks. Or walking around the city and browsing for interesting venues.

They like the opportunity to sightsee, and the chance to be as quiet or talkative as they’d like. Sometimes silence while you share space or touch is calming, and sometimes it brightens their mood to listen to you.

Swatch’s other favorite type of date is staying at home. They love relaxing, especially when they can get cozy with you. To them, just putting on music or a movie and cuddling can be a date.

Their kisses are always soft, and they have to tilt their head in order to kiss you without poking you. They frequently caress you with the end of their beak in lieu of a kiss when giving affection to your hand, cheek, or forehead.

They love soft physical affection, giving and receiving. They’ll nuzzle you, gently caress you, delicately hold your hands, rub your back. They love to play with your hair, sometimes just running their hands through it slowly, and sometimes, if it’s long enough, silently styling it.

As for them, they love if you scratch their head or chin, if you carefully stroke or preen their feathers, or massage their shoulders. They also find it wonderfully relaxing to bathe or shower with you.

They pepper their talk to you with pet names like they pepper your skin with nuzzles and kisses. They love the expression you make when they call you something sweet. Their favorites are “darling,” “dearest,” “my sweet,” “love,” and “beautiful/handsome.”

Swatch is a sucker for being called names too. When you call them something affectionate, their head feathers puff up a bit.

They love to learn about your interests. They’re naturally curious and as stated before, they see beauty in just about everything. So they love knowing all about your opinions and skills. And they just adore watching and listening when you talk excitedly.

They understand communication is important, but they still tend to avoid telling you anything that might trouble you. When they have a stressful day, they try to calm themself before going to see you so they don't bring that stressful energy to you. When they're worried about something they're dealing with, they prefer to journal and think about it rather than vent to you.

Oh i get to offer Swatch to my favourite writer??? Excellent!!!

Please consider i'm so gay for that charming bird and i want to kiss him so hard his glasses tilt sideways.

Swatch x Human male reader 

Headcanons 

I love Swatch, I love so many of the characters from Deltarune and Undertale. Like, Rudy? Asgore? Spamton? Sweet Capn Cakes? Come on man, they should be happy theres a screen holding me back. 

I was the fucking worst when it came to being in love with Sans and Papyrus back in the day. All the AUs? Yeah, I knew them like the back of my hand. I even made my own AU, back in the day. 

No spoilers for chapter 3 or 4. 

You were the only other human living in Hometown. You had been adopted by Cat family when you were a baby. Apparently, your human mother, and your cat mother, had been friends in college. 

Being the only other human had resulted in Kris clinging to you when they were younger, especially when they were hit with the “I'm not a monster like my family” phase, one you had gone through too. 

You used to babysit Kris and Asriel when they were younger too, even if Asriel always claimed he was too old to be babysat. Instead, you guys just called it “hanging out”. 

After high school, you moved out of Hometown and to the bigger city, starting a degree in coding and computer science. You still came home at least one weekend a month though. 

You met Swatch on one of the lucky weeks where all your classes had been cancelled, for days even, so you took the chance and drove home. Of course, you spent the first while with your parents, then your sisters, even visiting Catti at the diner where she worked. 

But you felt a need to find your little buddy, even if Kris wasn't that little anymore. Call it your human alliance, but Kris had always felt like a little sibling to you. 

Jockington told you that she had seen Kris head towards the library after school, so you went there, assuming they were farting about in the computer lab playing games like always. 

How you end up in the Dark World is lost to you, it just... kinda happened. You couldn't really figure out what Class you were supposed to be, or if this world even had those kinds of things. 

It just reminded you a lot of the few sessions of Dungeons & Dungeons (because Dungeons & Dragons wouldn't be fantasy in a world with dragons) you had played with your art club back at college. 

But hey, you had magic. Something you didn't have back on the surface, or whatever you should call it, being human and all. 

You end up just kinda wandering around, talking to some different monsters, and you figure out that Kris is supposed to be down here and is wanted? By the Queen? 

Anyways, one way or another you end up at the Queens mansion, and feeling tired from all the walking you saddle up in the Color Cafe. It helps that the shopkeeper is so handsome too. 

Dess always giggled about your love for butler characters in media, so what if you loved Otome games and anime, she and Asriel were big nerds too. 

You end up spending the rest of the day, just sitting in the cafe and talking to Swatch. Hes all professional and sharp edges in the beginning, but you start to wear him down and you get to see the real him. 

You even pump a fist on the inside when you get him to blush. It hadn't even been on purpose, you just touched his hand, wanting to show him your cool new magic. 

It wasn't like you were good at it, you hadn't even figured out what your magic really did yet, but Swatch got all red in the face, and his feathers started puffing up. 

It was so cute you wanted to bite your plate hard enough to break it. It ends with Swatch clearing his throat, adjusting his glasses like an anime character (you had to contain your “Kyaah” at that one), and offering to teach you. 

And so, you guys spend a good hour, maybe two, working on your magic. There were no costumers during this time, so you get a feeling Swatch might have flipped the door sign to CLOSED. 

Especially because, he starts pulling the good ol “let me adjust your arm for you” move, getting up behind you and supporting your arms with his own. 

All was good and dandy until this purple monster girl you have only seen in passing barge in, complaining about the shop being closed. 

Imagine you, Swatch, and the group of heroes- and hey, there's Kris, all freezing. Kris is stoic as always, but you swear you see their eyes widen and mouth open in shock, and the other two just look equally shocked at the sight of you. 

Both you and Swatch cough and sputter, the shopkeeper fluttering back to his spot and brushing down his puffy feathers. Seeing him immediately snap into his butler-sona almost makes you crack up. 

It takes a bit, but you get yourself introduced, completely ignoring the situation they had walked in on, and you figure out their mission too. 

Kris seems to struggle against... something... for a bit, before they leave. Its a bit scary, honestly, but they free themselves from whatever is holding them back, and hurry over to give you a tense hug. You'll have to ask them what that's about later. 

But, you stay in the cafe as Kris, Susie and Ralsei, rush off to be the heroes the prophecy wants them to be. And you? You have a hot butler to keep flirting with. 

In the end, you do appear in the battle against the Queen, cuz nobody gets to kick your human pal's ass, other than you in Super Smashing Fighters. 

When Queen is defeated, and the Dark Fountain is shut down, you are heartbroken at the thought that your new boo would cease to exist.  

Imagine your joy when Kris and Susie bring you with them to Castle Town, where your pretty bird is now manning the bar? Restaurant? Cafe? 

Learning that Darkners can't leave the Dark World does mess you up, especially after you and Swatch get closer. You swear to find a way to make it possible, because you promised him a date in the big city. 

You do feel your face flush a little when the Swatchlings appear, all so big, sharp and ready to serve.  

Swatch lets out a barely hidden huff, his neck feathers puffing up differently to when he's flustered. You would never pick the Swatchlings over him, obviously, but they are really cute... 

Being one of the Lightners also means Ralsei makes you a room of your own too, the cute Darkner princess having been so observant during your conversations that he fits it right to your tastes 

And... it means you can bring Swatch there so you guys can be alone. Up until that point you guys would have mostly spoken in the cafe and the bar he runs in Castle Town.  

Here, you two can be completely yourselves and learn all the small things about each other. 

And here you guys can kiss, because by god you have been starving to do so since you guys meet. Swatch is so cute when he kisses, as his glasses get all skewed up, and he starts tittering. 

Hes so polite and careful, and admits he doesn't have much, if any, experience, because hes always been serving and doing other things. 

And you, you are ready to help him figure out everything he doesn't know. At least for the while you are still in Hometown, after that, you have to find a way to bring him with you...

PRESSURE AU IDEA:

Sebastian finds a time machine because idk, Urbanshade has all sorts of weird stuff down there. He goes back in time to try to stop himself from being accused of murder in the first place, but he arrives too late and he's already the main suspect! He teams up with his younger self to try to solve the murder and prove himself innocent! So it turns into a crime/murder mystery type thing.

Two Sebastians interacting with eachother obviously causes a lot of chaos, so it should be pretty silly. Lots of fun shenanigans :3 But you also gotta throw in a healthy dose of angst as Sebastian (quite literally) reconnects with his younger self, and comes to terms with just how much Urbanshade has managed to change him despite his best efforts to resist it. Plus you've got young Sebastian freaking out over what his future will look like if he fails to prove his innocence.

Anyways I don't think I have the mental capacity to actually write this at the moment, but I thought I'd throw this out there just for funsies, cause this has been living in my head for a while. But I may make a bit of content for it if y'all are interested :D

[golde-ruby]

Having thoughts about Sebastian's lobby intercom messages.

We don't really know how genuine the feeling behind those messages is. The derision and passion he speaks with could be entirely and viscerally authentic, or it could be an act he's playing up; another persona, different from the one he uses with expendables who reach his shop. One meant to intimidate, rather than to invite. Something rooted in real feelings, but intentionally exaggerated to drive the point home to the listeners it's meant for. Or, maybe they aren't exaggerated at all, and the calculation is in him choosing to make their depths known, to force that awareness upon anyone who hears.

But if it is indeed a persona, of whatever kind...it's interesting, to me, the perception he's cultivating with it.

Listen to his messages.

When he hijacks the lobby intercom with threats and challenges, he wants to be feared. But he doesn't have to be a giant mutated fish-man for what he's saying to strike fear into anyone. That's not where the fear is based. His taunts would sound just as dreadful if spoken by someone still fully human.

His intimidation is all about what he's done, and what he's capable of. What he can do. Not what he is.

From what I've seen, the fandom loves to explore his perception of himself and how he believes he's perceived by others, in the wake of UrbanShade's experiments and what they turned him into. But that exploration always centers on his physical changes. Even I do this; I enjoy exploring how any new senses he may've had foisted upon him along with his new physiology might influence how he acts or thinks or processes his surroundings.

But for how much our enjoyment of Sebastian is about him being a fish, it's kinda surprising to look inside the actual game again and realize how little of Sebastian is about Sebastian being a fish.

It's not being a giant mutated fish-man that makes him The Saboteur.
