author’s note: for @arcielee 1K celebration - just a little drabble based on hozier’s song ‘unknown’. for you my dear, hoping you will enjoy ❤️ congratulations again on your milestone! and to @itbmojojoejo, thank you for beta reading! lots of love & stay safe 💕
He was but a warrior monk.
An angel amongst beast; words she whispered to him in bed as they danced in the middle of the night, amidst the flames of the hearth.
Dear Osferth, ever so endearingly naive. His blues covered in rose, the coloured lenses granted his sight with a mirage of grace and beauty.
And through the hues stood a vision in darkness, lustrous and holy.
And she wore a crown, birthed from the shadows of her storm; the halo ever so bright, induced by the strikes of lightning.
And she was scarlet, the shade hidden behind sweet smiles, soft touch and tender song.
Ever standing tall, she would spell treats in his ear, enticing his heart with sacred promises.
And the gentle boy could only see light.
And the cold front was weaving its way through the air, the missing guest to a dinner party.
He was but a kind soul.
Syllables she would mumble under her breath, Eve’s lips drenching him in sin.
And the lyrics seeped to his bones, his heart weakened in delight as it fell to its knees under the weight of her love. It sought him out, like the mating call of the wild, an animal in heat searching for its prey.
And she would shine, a body of divinity, with her robes as crimson as the blood running through his veins.
And the noble warrior, the kind monk, ever so keen for her touch, would beg for a sliver of her mercy - a saint amongst sinners, he would sing.
As she was, her halo bringing light to the blind.
And again, angel would flutter across her tongue; the heaviness of such holy name drafted wings on his back.
And he raised her, up, up, into the heavens, her pedestal resting amongst the beauty of the skies where her throne stood, crafted from his bones and marrow.
To his devotion, he grew hungry; sated by the fruit of the Malus, the nectar of temptation ran deep within his throat.
And her fate was sealed as she ate with him; canines sinking into the sarcotestas, the juices dripped down her chin, unhinged and unbothered. The mess was abhorrent yet such it was, a wondrous masterpiece.
Darling Osferth could only stare at the cherry colours of her self-portrait, fumes seeping through his bloodstream and ignoring the way she was holding her meal, the pieces of her pomegranate dissolving within her grasp.
The tighter she held onto the seeded fruit, the deeper he loved her.
And so unknown he had felt until she looked his way, her piercing gaze causing the chill to run amuck and raise his skin.
My heart is yours, he would share with her, intimately under the covers.
And she had promised care and tenderness, the echoes of her spell reaching his ears the way a Sunday sermon vibrates through his soul.
Enthralled by her undeniable beauty, she gifted him a smile that could light up the world; a grin stretched so wide, her teeth showed remnants of her food, the pieces of muscle throbbing and stuck in between as they cast an alluring shadow.
And within the cavities of her mouth, her tongue licked her bloodied teeth. A hum of pleasure roamed in her throat.
And the heart was missing from his chest; a cold wind washed through the gaping hole.
And the lamb had grown frightened, for its innocence had become bruised under the caress of the wolf, the fur drenched with red.
Such a flamboyant colour, bathing sin and desire under its murky waters.
And his feathers tickled him as he fell to his knees in prayer, worshipping his love with such might.
And as the story went, beloved Osferth - creature of pure light and goodness; the threads of his sheet stretched too thin. The strings of the marionette grew unstable, ever so slowly, and slowly, demolishing the perfect piece that was her art.
The aftertaste of the exocarp stuck on his tongue, the snake slithered through the grass haunting him like working poison.
And all remained well, though the rose of his blues started to fade, the cracks unfitting of his love.
And as such, dinner was treacherous; sinking into the depth of her gaze, he drowned under ruby water where at the surface sat her friends, guests to the party.
And by her side was Cassius, and next to him was Brutus.
And the honour went to Judas, leader of them all.
And as poor Osferth sunk deep below, his feathers set aflame, the storm grew stronger as ice seized his limbs.
Her descent had begun, her sceptre slipping from her callous hand.
He was but a gullible man, the sweet monk.
The whispers of the devil trailing in his mind, the snake was wrapped around the poor man’s neck.
He had grown cold, his heart empty, destroyed upon the teeth of Hellfire.
He was never the angel she claimed him to be; the wings, an illusion that she seared into his brain, a state of mind that no longer remained sane.
The fantasy shattered as she fell to his feet.
And the pedestal had cracked, the throne gone.
Such a fiend she had turned out to be.
And he begged for forgiveness, his guilt submerged under holy prayer.
The scorch marks on his back stayed, tragedy forever imprinted onto his skin.
As it was, the price of sin.
And so, what is betrayal but the act of desperation? When a lover seeks comfort, who to trust but the one who will break and bound you once again - a path all well known, all well dangerous, yet still taken.
And he grew to dislike apples, the juices rotting his guts with every bite.
And within the darkness of the caves, he held her hand, her tarnished fingers interlaced with his.
Because he was sweet and thoughtful, he led the path home.
Round and round they went, down below the circles of Hell.
Oh darling, I’m home - a song she spat to her sweet husband as she tightened her lover’s hold.

Aaron Davis AKA The Prowler
voice/faceclaim: Daniel Kaluuya(known from Get Out, Nope,and he's the voice of Hobie Brown in ATSV)
This prowler is essentially the prowler we get in the spider-verse movies, except he's more independent rather than a henchman for a certain Kingpin (also he can roar using a modulator in his suit that sounds almost identical to the Prowler theme). He works for Fisk the most since out of all the crime lords, even though Fisk is ruthless as can be, he is also someone who is helping Aarons's family. Miles doesn't become Spider-Man in this world due to the only spider around biting Spider-titan. Davis gets along really well with Fisk's friend and right-hand man, James Wesley, even inviting Wesley over for dinner at times
Below the cut you'll find a list of my TVDU muses along with their face claims (more info about each oc muse will be up soon but if you have any questions in the meantime don't be afraid to pm me, I have info on Google Docs for all of them.)

BOO RABBIT portrayed by EMMY ROSSUM is looking for their EX-FLING . They should be between the ages of 28-35 and some face claim suggestions are : Paul Wesley , Charles Michael Davis , Steve Kazee , Oliver Jackson-Cohen , Dj Cotrona , etc. . Please message me @aiknshamelss if you’d like more information.
This could be considered a bit of an ex-fling / unrequited love sort of connection on his part but it doesn’t have to be ! Essentially , they would have hooked up more than a few times and probably even hung around the house a lot ( having the chance to meet Boo’s siblings ) . Maybe he was taking it a bit more seriously than Boo was but she eventually dropped whatever they had going on without much of an explanation . There could be some angst with this connection especially with how Boo handled the situation but I’m open to discussing it .

We know what Shatner, Stewart and the like are up to these days, but what about those other valuable Starfleet officers that entertained us so? Where are the crew members of 'Star Trek' now?
Jonathan Frakes – Commander William Riker (TNG)
Riker finally got to be a Captain before he bowed out of the 'Star Trek' universe at the end of 'Star Trek: Nemesis' in 2002, but he swiftly swapped the captain's chair for the director's chair. Having already helmed Trek movies including 'First Contact' and 'Insurrection', Frakes was the unlikely director behind 2004's 'Thunderbirds' movie. These days he balances acting gigs with directing TV episodes on series like 'Castle', 'Falling Skies' and 'NCIS', and he can be heard voicing Star-Lord's father in the 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' TV animation.
Brent Spiner – Data (TNG)
Ironically, we all shed a tear when emotionless robot Data said goodbye to 'Star Trek' in 2005 after a few guest spots on 'Enterprise', but Spiner hasn't stopped working since. He reprised his (second) most popular role in this year's 'Independence Day' sequel, with two revelations: not only was Dr Brakish Okun gay, but he was very much not dead as the first movie suggested. He can currently be seen in 'Walking Dead' creator Robert Kirkman's new possession thriller 'Outcast', or at a 'Star Trek' convention near you.
Marina Sirtis – Counselor Deanna Troi (TNG)
Born in London's East End to Greek-born parents, Sirtis played ship's counselor Troi in 'The Next Generation' but didn't really settle into the role until they gave her a proper Starfleet uniform to cover up her cleavage. Sirtis reprised her role in an episode of 'Star Trek Voyager' in 2000 but she's stayed with 'Star Trek' in several small ways, not just on the convention circuit but also as the voice of the ship's computer in unofficial fan series 'Star Trek Continues'. Watch her, if you dare, in 2016 horror 'Little Dead Rotting Hood'.
Michael Dorn – Worf (TNG/DS9)
Michael Dorn is the most experienced 'Star Trek' actor ever, having appeared in 175 episodes of 'The Next Generation' and then a further 102 episodes when he transported to successor 'Deep Space Nine'. Six 'Star Trek' movies bring his total appearances to 281. He's not done with Star Trek, either: Dorn is currently trying to raise interest on social media for a proposed Worf spin-off called 'Star Trek: Captain Worf'. Ironically, Dorn says: “I had come up with the idea because I love [Worf] and I think he's a character that hasn't been fully developed.” Make that 281 appearances... to date.
LeVar Burton – Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge (TNG)
LeVar Burton was famous before he clocked in to the Enterprise's engine room – he brought pleasure to millions of youngsters as the host of educational show 'Reading Rainbow', and thanks to Kickstarter, he was able to do so again in 2014 after raising £3.8 million for its triumphant return. Burton currently lends his voice to Dr Greene in animated kiddy spin-off 'Transformers: Rescue Bots', and made a 2016 cameo in the remake of 'Roots', the mini-series which made him famous in 1977.
Gates McFadden - Commander Beverly Crusher
The American actress originally found fame as a choreographer working on Jim Henson productions like ‘The Dark Crystal’, ‘Labyrinth’, and ‘The Muppets Take Manhattan’ before she was cast as the chief medical officer aboard the Enterprise. She starred in all four subsequent ‘TNG’ films, but acting roles soon dried up and she now teaches acting. McFadden, now 67, still appears on the Trek convention circuit and her last movie role was in the low budget comedy ‘Make the Yuletide Gay’ in 2009.
Wil Wheaton – Ensign Wesley Crusher (TNG)
The most hated 'Star Trek' character ever has done pretty well to turn his fortunes around, settling into his role of Ambassador of Geekdom (or 'King of the Nerds', if you prefer). An early adopted of all forms of social media and tech, Wheaton has amassed an army of followers who adore his TV appearances, tabletop game tournaments and cameos on the likes of 'The Big Bang Theory', where he plays Sheldon's nemesis. Now 44, he continues to star in his own D&D web series, on series like 'Powers' and as himself on panel shows like 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?'.
Avery Brooks – Captain Benjamin Sisko (DS9)
Unlike most of his fellow 'Star Trek' actors, Avery Brooks has shown little interest in hanging onto the show's coattails since his days on the bridge ended – Brooks' last contribution to a 'Star Trek' project was a voiceover for videogame 'Star Trek: Legacy' in 2006. A keen jazz musician, Brooks lent his talents to a performance at the Springfield Symphony Hall in February 2016 to celebrate Black History Month. If you're lucky, you can catch the ex-captain at Trek conventions around the world.
Alexander Siddig – Dr Julian Bashir (DS9)
One of the more successful 'Deep Space Nine' alumni, Siddig left Julian Bashir behind to play large roles in TV shows including '24' (where he played former terrorist Hamri Al-Assad) and movies like 'Clash Of The Titans' and Wikileaks dramatisation 'The Fifth Estate' opposite Benedict Cumberbatch. He was last seen being skewered by the Sand Snakes of Dorne in season 6 of 'Game Of Thrones' and plays Ruben Oliver in excellent drama series 'Peaky Blinders'.
Nana Visitor – Colonel Kira Nerys (DS9)
As Bajoran Major turned Colonel Kira Nerys, Visitor appeared in 173 episodes of 'Deep Space Nine' before moving on to Jessica Alba serial 'Dark Angel' and various single-serving TV appearances. Super Trek nerd Seth MacFarlane cast her, and a wealth of other Trek actors, in 'Family Guy' episodes and in 2015's 'Ted 2', and she'll next appear in low-budget Trek-inspired comedy 'Unbelievable!!!!!' (yes, five exclamation marks, so you know it's going to be good). She married and later divorced co-star Siddig – the pair have a son named Django.
René Auberjonois - Odo (DS9)
The theatre actor was unrecognisable as Odo, Deep Space Nine’s head of security, thanks to a headful of deeply unsettling prosthetics but fans of ‘M*A*S*H’ (the film) will have known him as Father Mulcahy too. He directed 9 episodes of ‘DS9′ and has worked steadily as a TV actor ever since. He’s also a talented singer and voice actor having played Chef Louis in ‘The Little Mermaid’, and is the current voice of Pepé Le Pew in the ‘Looney Tunes Show’.
Colm Meaney – Chief Miles O'Brien (TNG/DS9)
Irish actor Meaney brought some Dublin charm to both ‘The Next Generation’ and 'Deep Space Nine' and hasn't wanted for work since the show was cancelled in 1999. He played Gene Hunt in a US pilot for 'Life On Mars' (before Harvey Keitel eventually got the role), played Don Revie in 'The Damned United', starred as Russell Brand's dad in 'Get Him To The Greek' and most recently took Norwich's finest hostage in 'Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa'. You'll be able to spy him in next year's espionage thriller 'Felt', about the Deep Throat informant. (He's not playing Deep Throat).
Quark - Armin Shimerman (TNG/DS9/Voyager)
Ferengi bartender Quark appeared in three different ‘Star Trek’ shows, but is most keenly associated with DS9 where his money-grabbing character was often at odds with Odo, the station’s security chief. He’s a TV regular appearing in shows like ‘Boston Legal’, ‘Buffy’, and ‘Stargate SG1′ but he’s probably best known now for his voice work in the ‘Ratchet & Clank’ video game series playing Dr. Nefarious.
Kate Mulgrew – Captain Kathryn Janeway (Voyager)
Mulgrew made her final Trek cameo as Vice Admiral Janeway in 'Star Trek: Nemesis' in 2002. She's proved adept at playing serious roles in confined spaces: Mulgrew plays Russian prison chef Red in the phenomenally successful Netflix series 'Orange Is The New Black', for which she won an Emmy nomination (fun fact: she was also nominated for a Golden Globe for playing TV detective Columbo's wife in spin-off, 'Mrs Columbo'). Mulgrew recently used her platform to speak out for prison reform. Janeway would approve.
Jeri Ryan - Seven of Nine (Voyager)
The lads mag favourite reportedly gave ‘Voyager’ a 60% ratings boost when joined the cast in season 4 as the liberated Borg Seven of Nine. Must have been a compelling storyline. After the show ended in 2001 she appeared in school drama ‘Boston Public’, and headlined the critically panned sci-fi comedy ‘The Last Man’, before appearing in TV shows like ‘The OC’ and ‘Boston Legal’. Aside from playing Sonya Blade in the short-lived ‘Mortal Kombat’ web series, Jeri can currently be seen in Amazon’s hit cop show ‘Bosch’.
Ethan Phillips - Neelix (Voyager)
Ship’s cook Neelix was a popular character aboard Voyager earning himself a spin-off cookbook featuring recipes contributed by actors from all iterations of the franchise. Since ‘Voyager’ he’s continued to act on stage, and has made a number of film appearances in ‘Bad Santa’, Michael Bay’s ‘The Island’, and more recently in the Coens’ ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ playing Mr Gorfeins, the owner of the escaped cat.
Tim Russ – Lieutenant Commander Tuvok (Voyager)
Fun fact about the man who would be Tuvok – he also played the guy at the beginning of 'Spaceballs' who yells: “We ain't found s**t!” Work has not been so hard to come by: now 60, Russ has no less than 11 movie projects on his plate for 2016, and a few for next year too, including sci-fi TV series 'Blade Of Honor', which sounds a lot like a 'Star Trek' ripoff if we're being honest. And then there's 'Renegades', a familiar trek through the stars that flirts with copyright law, in which he plays 'Kovok'. Hmmm.
Jolene Blalock - Commander T’Pol (Enterprise)
Following the success of Voyager’s Seven of Nine, the last Trek series followed suit casting model turned actress Jolene Blalock as the Vulcan T’Pol. After ‘Enterprise’ she appeared in ‘Stargate SG1′ but her guest appearance as Sawyer’s love interest in ‘Lost’ never saw the light of day. She had a starring role in the straight-to-DVD ‘Starship Troopers 3: Marauder’, and prefers to keep her distance from Trek fandom nowadays and has only ever appeared at one convention in 2005. In 2014 she played the wife of Jack Black’s porn baron in Cameron Diaz comedy ‘Sex Tape’.
