Will forever be sentimental about the characters and stories I loved. Though it’s gone, I do plan to finish my WIP fics and I’ll probably never say no if someone requests a QOT fic.Main @my-glitter-heart / https://archiveofourown.org/users/MyGlitterHeart((No reposts to other socials without asking))💜

Not sure how much appetite there still is in the fandom for LS fanfic with the app closing down 😭 anyway I’d a few pieces of WIP that I’ve finished off and posted to my AO3
The first 3 times that Hades sneezed, MC simply said, "Bless you".
It was the sixth time that she gave him a look that he pointedly ignored. Then, when he began to cough, she set down her book and stared at him until he had no choice but to return to her stare.
"Yes, dear?"
“Don’t 'yes, dear’ me. What is wrong with you? "
"Nothing," he said innocently. Too innocently
“Really?" She looked skeptical.
"Really."
The MC continued to stare at him until he sighed and put down his paperwork. She noticed that his skin looked pale and clammy. Then he coughed again, and she had had enough.
She got up and went to the bathroom. After some digging around, she found what she was looking for. She walked back into the office, approaching him with the thermometer.
"Open," she demanded softly.
He did so reluctantly, and she stuck the thermometer under his tongue. He looked guilty when she read the screen after removing it.
"Your temperature is 102." Her tone was accusatory.
He winced and looked at her with an apologetic expression. "I didn’t know it was that bad..."
She sighed and cupped his cheek. "You need to lie down."
He opened his mouth to protest, but she placed her finger on his lips to cut off his reply. She coaxed him to his feet and led him to the bedroom. She began loosening his tie and unbuttoning his shirt before he could even get a word in.
"This is unnecessary. I am still capable of doing work. " His rebuttal would have been confident if not for the cough that wracked his chest.
“You have been trying to read the same report for the last 30 minutes. Every time that phone rings, you wince, and answer it with a grimace. You have adjusted the lighting of the lamp twice. Should I continue? " Her reply was cheeky.
He narrowed his eyes. She narrowed hers back at him until he gave in and took off the rest of his clothing. She gave him a smile and went to grab the cold medicine.
She returned to him looking put out, surrounded by their pillows. She held in a laugh for his benefit and went to him.
“I’m going to make you some soup. I don’t think the medicine will put you to sleep, but I want you to try regardless. And, " she looked at him sternly. "I don’t want you getting up to sneak in any work. Do you understand? "
He looked indignant, but agreed with a silent nod. She smiled and kissed his cheek before she turned around to go into the kitchen.
She halted when his phone rang and turned around on her heels slowly. She walked back to him with her hand held out in silent demand. He sighed before setting his phone in her hand. She could tell that he was going to protest again, but she just shook her head and left the room.
She returned 30 minutes later with a bowl of soup and a cup of water, only to find the bed empty. She gave an exasperated breath and rolled her eyes before setting the food on his nightstand.
She headed straight to the office, already knowing what she would find.
"Hades!" He raised his head sharply at her voice, a report sitting in front of him. MC put her arms on her hips and gave him a sharp look. “What do you think you’re doing? You agreed to not work."
"I remembered that Persephone needed this by tonight. This is all I will do. I swear.” His eyes were cloudy, and she could hear the rasp in his voice from all the coughing.
"I already talked to Persephone. She said that she could handle not having the report tonight. You need to get back into bed. You look awful. "
Hades looked momentarily stunned that she had already thought about calling his niece, but recovered quickly. He closed the folder and silently raised himself from his chair. He swayed, and MC headed for him quickly.
Gods, he was heavy.
She placed his arm around her shoulders and walked him to their room, supporting him as best as she could.
"I’m sorry," he said quietly.
She helped him into bed and pulled the covers around him. "For what?"
"For being a burden."
She gave him a soft smile while placing his food in his lap. She sat by his side on the bed and regarded him with a sympathetic look on her face. "You’re not being a burden. You’re sick. It happens to the best of us. Don’t worry.”
He still looked forlorn, but accepted her response with a silent nod.
“I’m going to wet a washcloth to bring your fever down. Eat as much as you can, okay?” She patted his arm before rising from the bed. She was about to walk away when he grabbed her hand.
She looked at him with confusion. His cheeks were tinted red when he replied, "Thank you."
"You’re welcome." She squeezed his hand before exiting the room.
She returned a few short moments later, only to find the bowl empty on the nightstand and Hades asleep against the headboard.
She laughed silently before gently coaxing him into a more comfortable position. He gave a grunt as he moved, but didn’t open his eyes. When he was comfortable, she placed the washcloth on his forehead and tucked him in.
She took the dishes into the kitchen, placed the bowl in the sink, and filled his cup with more water. After grabbing some aspirin from the bathroom, she placed them next to the glass. MC turned his phone off and laid down next to him. He sighed softly before snuggling closer, throwing an arm around her waist before falling back to sleep.
"I love you," she whispered quietly before closing her eyes.
"Love you too," he murmured, falling asleep once more.
I haven’t had the issue above with LS, but Apple Support have refunded me on other occasions where money was taken and i didn’t get what I was supposed to, for all 🍎’s faults, they were pretty decent with that sort of thing actually, so if anyone is affected, send them a message and explain - hopefully they’ll refund you.
Lovestruck fandom, a warning regarding heart purchases!
Apparently the in-app purchases won't give you hearts anymore even if they are technically not disabled. You'll lose money and will get nothing.
The end of purchases was not announced, it was completely omitted from all the announcements. Support was apparently shutdown too, deliberately without notice.
If you tried to buy anything, got scammed and didn't get the hearts, Play Store can refund you. Not sure if iOS offers that too.
Anyway, don't try to buy anything in Lovestruck anymore. You will get scammed.
Doing my rereads while I still can, of everything on the app I’ll miss Qot the most! 💕
I keep beating a dead horse on this, but QoT is probably the *best* series in the game and it set such a high bar for future installments. In comparison, everything that followed after QoT and RP could never reach that bar. I would also like to say, the QoT MC is prob the top sexiest MC in the game next to the VN MC.
Best character designs: Jett, Zoe
Favorite story: Remy
Most romantic: Leon
Saddest backstory: Nikolai
Favorite moments:
1. Vivienne’s route when MC outwits her in a heist
2. The moment in Remy’s route when MC realizes she truly loves Remy
3. Paint me like one of your French girls in Nikolai’s route
But, honestly all of their stories are really, really good! Please give ‘em a read if you haven’t. They are free to read this week only!
“fuck all the little details, i’m doing this for fun and i don’t owe anyone anything! hell yeah!”
and then the other half is like
“okay so this character is a thief so i’m going to do hours of research on how professional thieves operate because otherwise maybe a real thief will read this and laugh at me for not knowing how thieving works and then they’ll show it to all their thief friends and i will be the laughingstock of the thief community and that would be so embarrassing for me!!!!!!!!”
So I’m having a little QOT replay and quite enjoying myself - I have snacks and everything! I miss the Poppy 😭
Anyway. Something has always bothered me in the penthouse common-room, the painting above the fireplace. And I’ve never been able to put my finger on it.
This one. See it?
Now, I already know that it’s supposed to be Klimt. I really like this artwork actually.
So I haven’t been sitting wondering ‘what is that?’ but it feels weirdly familiar, and it’s not because I know the painting. Just something about the shapes and colour. It’s been bugging me. Really bugging me.
And finally I’ve worked out what it is. It’s the whole composition of what should be the larger black rectangle against the yellow and gold leaf but because the whole thing is kinda ‘fuzzy’ in the Poppy’s common-room it is an oddly familiar shape and it reminds me of something…
