Fort Scarlet

Description: Rebecca Scarlet is enjoying a quiet evening to herself, quite the rarity in a house filled with eight people. When her younger siblings scramble out of bed seeking comfort from a thunderstorm, however, she is reminded that a house filled with the rowdy sounds of chaos and love is far preferable to the quiet of an empty home without it.

Boom! Crash! Thunder roared outside as rain beat against the windows. Rebecca pulled the curtains tightly closed and returned to the book she was reading by the fire. Between her job at the restaurant and looking after her younger siblings, quiet moments to herself like these were few and far between. Well…Rebecca thought as the thunderstorm raged outside again, it was quiet from the noise of her rowdy, rambunctious family anyway. It was only moments like these when her parents were both at work, and her siblings were all in bed that the house was devoid of that constant yet comforting low roar only a house full of eight people could make. Rebecca didn’t mind the noise, and in fact, often thought she would feel almost lonely in the silence. A house filled with the rowdy sounds of chaos and love was far preferable to the quiet of an empty home without it. Or so she reminded herself as she listened to the patter of feet scampering down the hallway.

“You’re supposed to be in bed,” she said tilting her head at her younger brother and sister as they appeared in the doorway. 

“We know, but the thunder was so loud, we couldn’t sleep,” explained Nella. She practically jumped as the thunder crashed outside again, and Milo darted through the doorway jumping up beside Rebecca on the sofa. She wrapped her arm around her brother comfortingly before she sighed and motioned for her little sister to join them as well. 

“Alright. You can stay here for just a little bit.” She scooted over to make room as she ruffled her little brother’s hair. “But there isn’t anything to be afraid of. It’s just a thunderstorm.” 

“But why does it have to be so loud?” asked Milo whose tiny shoulders were shivering. 

Rebecca’s brow furrowed thoughtfully but a smile twitched in the corners of her mouth as she teased, “Well…I think it’s kind of like when you and Nella disagree. The thunder is trying to talk to its big sister the lightning, but she isn’t listening so he thinks he needs to get louder and louder to get her attention.” 

Milo and Nella giggled. At only five and seven respectively, Rebecca was sure they enjoyed a story much more than an actual explanation of the weather. 

“But we’re never that scary though,” Milo insisted nestling into her side as the thunder boomed again, and Rebecca nodded. 

“That’s true. Thunderstorms can be really scary sometimes. I bet Luca and Marco will be down here in a minute too.” 

“No, they won’t,” said Nella with a shake of her head. “They’re bigger so they’re brave.” 

Before Rebecca could say anything in rebuttal, however, there was another loud crash of thunder, and Luca and Marco scampered through the doorway. “See…” she said with a gentle, affectionate smile. 

Seemingly noticing that their other siblings were all staring at them, Marco’s cheeks flushed pink, and Luca shuffled her feet almost sheepishly in the doorway before she stumbled, “I just…wanted to check to make sure that you all were alright…” 

“Me too,” said Marco with a nod though he didn’t look up from the ground, and Rebecca stifled a laugh. It was almost endearing what terrible liars they were. 

“Well now that you’re up, why don’t you come over here with the rest of us?” she suggested with a shrug of her shoulders, and she certainly didn’t have to ask them twice as, with another crack of thunder, they quickly piled onto the sofa. 

“We’re just missing Pem,” Marco chuckled, and no sooner had he uttered these words than Pem began to cry. With an almost affectionate roll of her eyes, Rebecca went to fetch him from his crib. 

Once she had returned and all of the Scarlet siblings were at last huddled together in the living room, Nella asked, “Can we sleep in here tonight? I don’t want to go back to my room.” 

“Yeah,” said Marco with wide eyes, seemingly forgetting about pretending not to be frightened by the storm. “Can we, Rebecca?”

Rebecca hummed. “I don’t know…”  

“Please!” they all begged in unison, and Rebecca sighed. 

“Alright,” she conceded. “But we’re all going to end up sleeping on the floor you know…” 

“We wouldn’t have to sleep on the floor…” suggested Luca with a tilt of her head and the twitch of a smile. “We could make a blanket fort.”

“A fort! A fort!” exclaimed Milo excitedly, practically bouncing up and down.   

Marco slipped his hand into hers and stared up at her with excited, wide eyes. “Can we really build one, Rebecca? Can we?”  

“Please,” Nella added with her biggest puppy-dog pout, and even Pem joined in with a pleading babbling and blinking eyes. 

Rebecca shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t see why not,” she said to the exuberant shouts and giggles of her siblings who excitedly ran off to collect their pillows and blankets for the fort, seemingly forgetting all about the thunderstorm. 

Once all the bedding had been shaped into their makeshift “fort” of sorts, Nella asked triumphantly, “What should we call it?”  

“It could be a magic knight hideout,” suggested Luca. “And we could come up for with a name for our squad.” 

“But that’s two names, Luca,” Milo insisted with almost a whine. Rebecca patted his back. He was clearly tired. Pem was as well and was drifting in and out of sleep in her arms, and Rebecca left for just a moment to put him Pem back to bed in his crib. She was sure he would have plenty of forts to play in when he got older. 

When she returned, she found the discussion over the name of the fort was still underway. 

“I don’t understand why we can’t name the fort after me,” argued Milo. 

“Because it can’t just be named after you,” Luca insisted with a forceful frown and cross of her arms. “We all built it.” 

“What if we named it Fort Scarlet?” suggested Marco gently. “Because that’s all our names.” 

Rebecca ruffled his hair. “I think that’s a great name, Marco,” she said with a smile. 

“Yeah! Fort Scarlet!” agreed her other siblings with a bright enthusiasm followed by more than a few yawns.

“Maybe we should go in and go to sleep,” Rebecca suggested with a light chuckle. No one argued—whether from the excitement of the fort or their own tiredness Rebecca wasn’t entirely sure but she was grateful. 

With a thoughtful tilt of her head, Rebecca took a step back to admire their work. It wasn’t the most elaborate structure—just a few quilts draped over the sofa and the wooden chairs she and Luca had pushed over from the kitchen table—but as she watched the light and wonder in her little siblings’ eyes as they crawled inside, Rebecca knew that, to them, “Fort Scarlet” was even greater than they could’ve imagined. 

“Come on, big sis,” said Marco as he turned around and reached out his hand to her to her with a smile. Rebecca took his hand and smiled back, crawling under the quilt roof herself. As curled up among the remaining blankets and pillows with her younger siblings, she imagined it as she was sure they saw it: a wonderful place, a mighty fortress, a beautiful castle and, perhaps most importantly, a safe haven—a home that not even the storm outside could weather. Although… Rebecca thought with a gentle, affectionate smile as she nestled in next to her little brothers and sisters, they didn’t need a fort for that—they had had it all along.

(Excuse my shitty handwriting and messy sketches 🥹)

A few days ago, I said I would make an oc whose main purpose was to be a Noelle simp.

And guess what? I did! I present to You Richard Ashley!

He’s a really old oc, who I’ve revived and decided he had an interesting design to go to waste. His story is still a little work in progress but I am pleased with what I have come up with so far.

Little notes on Ricky under the cut~ (they’re more like story dump)

—he’s an earth mage, a really strong one.

—he doesn’t look like it, but despite his rough appearance he’s an actual softie.

—for 17 years he went by Ricky, because that’s what everyone called him and he didn’t know his actual full name or last name, so he was always just Ricky.

—he was born in a special lap in the Diamond Kingdom as a test subject to see if they can make strong soldiers who lack personality and general human emotion to make them the perfect soldiers.

—as you can guess, Ricky was a failed experiment and was meant to be disposed of until he was saved by Licht (Patry) when he was 9, and since then he devoted himself to the eye of the midnight sun’s cause, and he developed a hatred to his birth country and vowed to bring their end all on his own.

—now, how does he meet Noelle? He meets her in Nean.

—when Finral invites Asta to come to a mixer with him, he invites Noelle instead of Luck. And there, Noelle and Ricky meet for the first time

—why was Ricky at the mixer? Because he was trying to gather any information for Licht at the time, and he found out that a black bull member was doing a mixer so he decided to test his luck and see if he can get in on it, and he does.

—since he’s a motherfucker, he knows how to woo Noelle off her feet immediately, and after Asta throws away that man who was touching Rebecca, Noelle and Ricky were left together and he was able to really get through to her with a sob story.

—and since Noelle have had a rough upbringing herself, she felt like she could relate to him and slowly started opening up to Ricky. Within a week he knew a lot about Noelle and some details about the royal families.

—when Asta goes to see Rebecca to play with her siblings, Noelle goes with him to see Ricky, and there he meets Gauche when he was playing with the kids.

—after the battle with the eye of the midnight sun in the cave, Licht abandoned Ricky to himself as he was taken as a hostage. When Noelle finds out that he was part of the Midnight sun, she gets angry and throws every insult under the sun at him, and Ricky just takes it because he knows he’s a piece of shit for taking advantage of her trust.

—some shit happens after the traitor incident, and Ricky gets released under the Black Bulls’ watch. So Yami is forced to make him a member.

—no one trusts him at all, specially Noelle and Gauche.

—Asta is the only person that talks to him because he doesn’t have a single bad bone in his body and believe that Ricky deserves a second chance.

—during the entire mission in seabed temple, Ricky is trying to make it up to Noelle who’s hell bent on ignoring him, but Ricky sticks to her side when Veto arrives.

—the scar on his forehead is from Veto, he was protecting Noelle when Veto clawed at him.

—after the seabed mission, Noelle starts talking to him again, but she doesn’t trust him at all still.

—when it’s revealed that Asta won’t be able to use his arms after what Veto did to him, Ricky is the first one to actively try and look for a cure because he felt like he owed Asta for being there for him at his worst, So Ricky owed it to him to be there for Asta at his own worst.

—when Noelle and Finral leave to see Fanzell, Ricky goes with them. And he’s shocked to learn that one of the strongest commanders of Diamond was a refugee in Clover.

—Fanzell recognises Ricky, and he reveals that After he managed to escape, the diamond scientist couldn’t get any more living test subjects from the experiment that Ricky was born from. And that Ricky was the only successfully living subject.

—after the witches forest and successfully getting Asta’s arms healed, Ricky has a talk with Mars about how their country needed to change and that he’s willing to help in whatever way he can. Thus indicating that the hatred Ricky harboured for Diamond was changed by the urge to change it into a better place for the next generations to come after.

—before parting ways, Fanzell tells Ricky that when he left Diamond he had taken some test files with him to ensure that the scientist won’t be able recreate any successful experiment, and that Ricky’s file was with him still, and it contained information about his Parents (more accurately the sperm donor and the surrogate). And tells him if he’s interested, he can give him the file to read.

—Ricky agrees, and a few days later he get’s a pigeon from Fanzell with the file.

—he finds out a lot about himself, that his father was a high and respected commander in Diamond and that his mother came from a long line of strong earth mages.

—his parents were also married, which shocked Ricky because he thought they were just two random people brought together by the crazy scientist of Diamond.

—after reading the file, he officially submits his papers to the Magic Knights headquarters to officially join the Black Bulls as “Richard Ashley”.

—the rest is kind of unclear to me on what his story goes on from here, but somewhere along the lines he and Noelle get back on good terms and fall in love.

—his feelings for her start developing somewhere around the elf arc and by the spade arc he’s sure of his feelings.

—Noelle has been developing a crush on him around the royal knights exam, she realizes she loved Ricky during the six months she spent in Heart away from him.

—they are a “she fell first, but he fell harder” kind of couple I suppose you could say?

—they get together right Before Asta’s award ceremony, and it’s awkward and sweet since Ricky is an affectionate guy and Noelle is easily flustered.

—Asta is their number one supporter, he already called dips on being the godfather of their future first child.

Who are your top ten favorite black clover characters and ships (platonic or romantic), talk about them!

Thanks for the question! This might be a bit long so I'll probably talk about them another time but here ya go.

For my top ten favorite characters in no order are Fuegoleon, Yami and Vanessa all tied for my number one favorite spot,

Julius (honestly he's such a good and interesting character, but when I first started watching Black clover I knewww he reminded me of someone and sounded familiar. I realized he shares the same voice actor as Minato Namikaze so that just made it better because to me they're really similar. Toshiyuki Morikawa, their voice actor also voices: Kimimaro (Naruto) ,August Ruthven (Vanitas no Carte), Kagaya Ubuyashikis from (Kimetsu no Yaiba), Carla Tsukinami (Diabolik Lovers), Dante (Devil May Cry), Ugo (Magi).

Mereoleona, Gaja, Asta, Zora, Mimosa, Secre, Lumiere, Finral, Loropechika and Charmy.

(I know this is more than ten so you can call some of them honorable mentions I guess)

Relationships

Siblings:

Vermilions (they're my favorite family members, literally love them so much, each of their dynamics, the tough love and gentle love they have for one another. Especially that fight with Fuegoleon and Mereoleona against the elves, and the way they just have so much respect for each other I-)

Would love to see them have more interaction with Mimosa. Imagine Mereoleona training Mimosa or Fuegoleon and then Leopold and Mimosa just being teenagers having fun on an adventure.

Would love to see more of Rebecca and her siblings.

Asta and Yuno and their siblings from the church. They're such good brothers and too adorable.

Gauche's love for Marie is kind of endearing thought it's extreme.

Friendships:

Fuegoleon and Nozel (literally love this rivalry and friendship so much. Did y'all see Nozel when Fuegoleon was hurt? This man was ready to throw hands with no warnings. They reminded me of Kakashi and Guy's rivalry even though the characters are so different)

Noelle and Vanessa ( the positive and supportive bond they have just is so wholesome.)

Julius and Yami (low-key reminds me of Minato and Kakashi)

Finral and Vanessa

Magna and Luck

Asta and Yuno

Lumiere and Licht

Would love to see Vanessa and Dominante have more interactions or even add in Dorothy.

Low-key feel like I got cheated with not getting to see Julius and Lumiere gush about magic together.

Would love to see Vanessa and Zora and Fuegoleon. Any two combination of them. I feel like Zora would begrudgingly be like 'Mmm he's alright', when he gets to personally interact with and gains respect for Fuegoleon who's a royal.

Or imagine Zora and Gaja being quiet friends that don't need to talk but understand each other. Or Gaja acting like an older brother figure to him and sighing while pinching the bridge of his nose after watching Zora prank someone.

Listennnn I need to see Julius and Zora interact.

"So this is the Novachrono he talked about." Zora sweatdrops as he watches the man forsake his Wizard King responsibilities.

Romantic or ones I'd think would be interesting to see:

Yami and Vanessa. To be honest when I first started watching Black clover Yami and Charlotte were the first pair I shipped. Now I've kinda switched.

But anyway, I'll post my further thoughts of that in another post.

Continuing, I'd love to see some more interactions between:

Nero and Lumiere (well we know what happened but still, some flashbacks would be appreciated)

Gray and Gauche (imagine Gauche slowly but surely breaking down his walls and getting defensive about Gray and she gradually breaks out of her shell)

Mars and Fana

Gaja and Loropechika ( Y'alll when she broke down, I wanted to personally hug her)

Honestly this was mainly a rough draft so I might expand some more on my thoughts about these at a later time. This is probably more than asked for but at least you're getting some insight into my thoughts I guess. I'm just realizing I wasn't even counting when talking about the relationships. Charl...

{Gif Not Mine}

Right after school Asta would either have trouble doing homework, trying to find ways to marry Mrs.Lily, or train. 

One day as he was walking back to school he heard yelling right behind him. “Asta!”, when he turned around he saw his neighbor Mimosa Vermillion. “I thought i was never going to catch up to you” “Oh Mimosa, are you okay” “Y-yeah i’m fine”.

The two went to school together as they talked about what they had been up to.  Once the school bell rang for all students to leave, Mimosa stopped Asta just as he was going to leave.

“Hey Mimosa, need something” “Well um do you have anything to do tomorrow after school?” “I'm not anything i can think of” “Well would you be able to stay behind tomorrow” “Sure but why” “Well my club needs more members and you look like you will be able to be a great member” “Sounds fun” “Yeah it will”.

The next day Asta went with Mimosa to the club room after school. Once he walked in the room he saw three girls, “So it’s only you girls in here” “Well yeah, but oh let me introduce you to everyone”.

“Here is scarlet, Rebecca Scarlet” “I know you, that loud kid in my math class. But i hope we can get along here and if you need anything to read i have a book here” “Thanks”

“This is my cousin Silva, Noelle Silva” “Mimosa why do you bring a boy here, this is a girl only club” “Well sense this club is so boring with the four of us i thought Asta would light up the room”. 

“A boring room?”, everyone turned their heads looking over to you. “Hi L/n-chan right, we're in the same home room” “Nice to see you too now let's start everyone” “Hey Mimosa what type of club is this anyway” “Oh i forgot to tell you, well this is a literature club” “Wait what?”.

Days went by with Asta being a member of the club.  But it all changed when Mimosa didn’t show up for school so Asta was to bring her the homework from that day but ended up seeing the hanging boddie of his neighbor, childhood friend.

But when he closed his eyes and opened them up again he was back in the club> “Hey As-” “dorksta you alright”, Noelle said, pushing you out the way. “Wait where is W!W0$^” “Who i know nobody of that name ``''S-she is your cousin ``''I have no cousin ``''Wait yeah yeah you don’t “Noelle give Asta some space” “I am”. “Come here Asta why don’t you read a book with me”

Rebacce and Asta sat on the floor as they both read the book Rebecca has been reading for awhile now.  The slightest hand touching Rebecca's face would turn red. And they have been doing this for over a week having alone time together. But eyes were always on them seeing every smile, blush, they shall and had enough. 

Rebecca soon started to act weird, she acted more clingy. The poems she wrote and if you really look into them, she needed help. Soon her behavior started to affect Asta and times you had to but in just to ‘save him’. 

“Asta I really, really, really like you, do accept my feelings” “...Rebecca…to tell you the truth…I’m very sorry…but I don't think we're right for eachother…” “Wh-what is it because of my siblings, maybe the books i read, or is there someone else, o-or-hahahahahahahaha”. It happened so fast there was blood, knives, and Noelle walked in seeing the scene and ran right out as you covered your mouth in shock. But when Asta turned to you the whole room changed like the aura was different, but all he could see was your smiling face. “You-” “Dorksta come on i need your help” “But what about, what about” “ ‘What about who?’ Asta ``''Oh nothing Y/n ``''Hurry up i can’t wait all day”.

In his gut Asta knew something was wrong but didn’t know what. With being with Noelle he helped her bost up her spirit even standing up for her against her siblings. And they both even tried to back cupcakes but ended up making a mess in the club room.

But one day she and Asta were both trying to play a game of tag around the club room only for Noelle to trip and fall, breaking her neck in the process.  Asta suddenly remembered all that he had seen and he heard your voice. He whipped around seeing your smiling face. He walked over to you hugging you as he cried. “I’m not going to let anyone hurt you” “Thank you Asta” “Now let’s go” “No” “What do you mean” “No no no no”, he tried to touch your shoulder but only for you to slap his hand away. “I can’t let you leave, i just want to be the one for once, i want to be the only girl you love” “What are you talking about Y/n” “I had to get rid of them, Mimosa was lucky to be your neighbor, Rebecca loved having someone she can relate to, you even stood up for Noelle, it’s not fair i wish you loved me and only me”. “So you killed them, sorry Y/n i only love those who are kind, funny, sweet, lovely, but it looks like you are nothing of those” “No” “They were nice girls but my heart is already set on someone else and i will not betray her like that. And by  the looks of it I'm gonna save her from you”. Asta ran out the room, hearing your screams as the room morphed and shifted into different shapes. He was right at the exit only to see you sobbing form on the ground begging for him not to leave you. 

You watched from afar like watching him from a screen. And no matter what you do you can not be with him. It hurt and bothered you knowing you can’t be with the love of your life. “I’m sorry Y/n but what you have done is unforgivable” “I’m sorry, i’m sorry, please don’t leave, don’t leave, i’m sorry, im sorry, please, please don’t go!”.

Those were the final words he heard before he woke up in his room as he was happy not to see the club room. He got up and got ready for school and went on as normal. After school he went straight to the club room and when he entered he was met by Mimosa Vermillion. 

“Oh hi there Asta you need anything” “Oh nothing i was just wondering if you are a part of the literature club” “Well yeah i am the president after all” “So F\u is not here”. “No one here is named that”. Asta turned to see Rebecca and right beside her was Noelle. “If you want, it would be nice if you joined us. I finally got Noelle to read with me and I think she likes it”. “No I don't!” “Oh hey Asta, are we g-going to walk together” “Sure just for my friend Mimosa ''. 

Mimosa was heart struk a blushing mess but it finally set in. She needs him, she won’t let anyone else have him.

Ship or Shit: Asta x Noelle

    Noelle is introduced to us in the exposition of the Black Clover manga. After Asta saves her from drowning in her own spell, and then complimenting her on her mana reserves, she experiences a feeling that she had never felt before. Throughout  the next arcs, Noelle has had a tsundere attitude whenever Asta was there/talking to her. Many view this attitude as poorly written, annoying, and useless to the plot. On the other hand, many fans of Black Clover support this ship (myself included, but again this is from a logical standpoint).

   With fans shipping Asta with characters such as Mimosa, Rebecca, or even Yuno, there were disagreements between them. Arguments from the members of the fanbase state that Noelle has had no character development what so ever since the beginning of the series. This statement is false due to many reasons.

   As a memory refresher, Noelle grew up as the youngest of four siblings in the royal family Silva. Her siblings (specifically her older brother Solid and older sister Nebra) would always taunt her about not having control over her magic, as well as being a disgrace to the Silva name. This hatred for Noelle was born when their mother, Acier Silva, died from giving birth. Although this was a false accusation, only Nozel (Noelle's eldest brother) knew the truth. He could not say anything because he was cursed to die if he even dared utter the truth. In attempt to protect Noelle from ever being harmed, he also verbally abused her, though it hurt him greatly to see his sister suffer.

   As far as we know, nobody supported or encouraged Noelle in her childhood. The only person to have ever been explicitly mentioned to have been a part of Noelle's childhood besides her siblings is her Grandmother, who has oddly never been shown. All the information we have of her is that she used to tell Noelle stories. As far as we know, these stories had mentioned elves and devils, although not by name.

   But anyways, the first known person to give Noelle recognition for her efforts is Asta. As I've already mentioned, in denial of her feelings, Noelle harbored a tsundere-like attitude when it comes to Asta. In chapter 301 of the manga, Noelle finally admits to herself that she has feelings for Asta.

   It is also worth mentioning that while Asta is kind and outgoing, he only has a few bonds that he cherishes the most. Of course I'm not saying that he wouldn't risk his life for almost anyone, but there are definitely those relationships that mean the most to him. An obvious example is Yuno, who he sees as his brother. Yami, Nash, and Father Orsi are all most likely in this category as well. However, out of all of these Yuno is the most important. The only other person who is most likely on par with Yuno is in fact Noelle.

   Asta has a close relationship with Noelle, and based on what I gathered, Asta definitely has a special place in his heart for Noelle. As characters with backgrounds so similar but different at the same time, I'd say that this is a ship (I SWEAR THIS IS FROM A LOGICAL STANDPOINT)

Opinions I’ll Probably get Stoned For: Black Clover Edition

To end off this little series, I’ve decided to do this for Black Clover. Had I done this a year ago, I would likely have been seen as weird. But considering the anime has hit its stride and the manga I don’t read is apparently doing even better than MHA, I guess the wait was worth it. Let’s go!

Anyone who quit the anime over Asta’s voice is a coward.

Petit Clover is good in small doses. Emphasis on small doses. *coughepisode82cough*

Highkey, I want to see more of Rebecca and her siblings in the series.

Lowkey, Yuno and Noelle is a great dynamic. I don’t know if it would work as a legit ship, but they would work as a BrOTP if they did more stuff together.

Episode 63 was great. You guys are just mean.

Personally, I like Mimosa slightly more than Noelle, but I want Noelle to be with Asta.

Dorksta? Stupidsta? Of all the possible translations. Really?

I knew Studio Pierrot was going to adapt Black Clover the instant I read the first chapter. They’re actually doing a better job than I thought they would.

I like that the anime takes the series at a slower pace than the manga seems to.

Guess Who is Back? (OP 4) is the best OP so far.

Black Clover and My Hero Academia feels like the real-life equivalent of Yami and Vangence, except the authors are way more friendly towards each other and [spoilers].

The fact that Black Clover isn’t considered even close to as good as MHA greatly displeases me.

Mereleona Vermillion may be the closest thing WSJ will have to General Armstrong for a while.

If Black Clover was better animated, it would likely be one of the most popular anime of recent times.

I’d love to see more of Gray in the future. Mind you, between this, Fairy Tail, and Fire Emblem, I have to remember three completely different Gray’s and this gets weird.

Watching the anime, it’s hard to tell that what is and isn’t part of the manga. I can’t tell if this is a good thing or not.

That’s all for this Not Fairy Tail month. A new post in my rewrite series should be coming up soon. See you!

While she is a demon, Tamayo is also a doctor and hence believes in the sanctity of human life. She gives the siblings refuge in her house, hidden from prying eyes by Yushiro's Blood Demon Art, and explains how as every demon contains Muzan's blood, their whereabouts and movements can be tracked by him: should they mention him to anyone, their cells will be destroyed — this is called "the Kibutsuji curse". Tamayo reveals how after 200 years of relentless research, she has finally managed to undo Kibutsuji's curse on her and gain the ability to turn humans into demons, although this procedure is only performed on patients that are nearing the end of their lives and choose that path, Yushiro being one of them. She has also tweaked her and Yushiro's body so that they need to survive only with a little amount of human blood, purchased as blood transfusions. Tanjiro agrees to work with Tamayo to develop a cure for Nezuko, promising to let her study his sister's blood and bring blood from powerful demons related closely to Muzan for her research.

New Year’s Eve: Chapter Three

Read it all on AO3 or previous ch. 1, 2

One magical night, five intertwining love stories, all culminating at midnight with just maybe some confessions and kisses as the clock strikes.

This chapter: Meet hopeful backup singer Isabelle trapped in an elevator with her lovelorn neighbor Rebecca who might just slowly be seeing the holiday for the new beginnings it holds and not the past it makes you face.

***

Noon, New Year’s Eve

Isabelle paces her bedroom in nothing but a Green Peace t-shirt she’s fairly certain she stole from her ex-boyfriend contemplating what exactly to do with herself for New Year’s Eve. Jace, her roommate and brother, is out of town spending the holiday in the Hamptons with their little brother and father. Isabelle and Alec hadn’t been keen on spending it with Robert, who’s been all but totally estranged from them since his affairs came to light, but Max had wanted to see him and Jace had drawn the short straw as the sibling support if things got rough and Max decided to come home. So, she’s on her own, her equally as party loving brother unavailable to her for the evening.

Raphael had invited her to spend the evening with him and Meliorn which is sweet, but a little tame for a night that Isabelle loves as much as this one. There’s the party at Pandemonium that guarantees her a midnight kiss from bartender and occasional fuck buddy Lydia. She’s also toying with the possibility of dragging Alec out on the town with her as well.

Not that there’s a chance in hell for that, he’ll probably be too busy moping about Magnus for that.

She picks up her phone about to text Lydia when it begins to vibrate and her Rihanna ringtone blasts out. The screen shows Catarina Loss’ name and Isabelle immediately answers never one to turn down what will no doubt be a gossip session about her brother and Magnus.

“How would you like to get paid tonight?” Catarina says as soon as she picks up, no chance for a greeting.

Isabelle chuckles as Cat’s brashness, always a fan of it, folding herself up onto her bed comfortably.

“That depends,” she says. “What exactly am I getting paid for? If it’s not sexual or illegal I’m probably in. Actually scratch that, how illegal is it? I’m willing to waver a bit there.”

Cat laughs at her a gust of wind pushing through the speaker that tells Isabelle she’s outside.

“Nothing of either sort,” she explains. “I was thinking getting paid for that thing you do professionally you know, singing? Magnus needs a backup for the Edom Records party and your name was at the top of the list.”

“I thought Gretel was doing the Edom shindig?” she muses already knowing Her answer, aside from the money which she definitely wants, she misses Magnus. They’ve maintained a distant friendship since the breakup with Alec, only because she knows just how in love with Alec the singer still is. Isabelle touring with Heidi McKenzie. this past fall has made her unable to work with him on his latest which had been a bummer when she’d realized the timing. It’ll be nice to see him. Bat Velasquez, his lead guitarist, will be there as well and their friendship over the years has always been a strong force in her life, she misses him now that he’s out on tour with Magnus without her.

“Cancelled last minute, Magnus is filling in,” Cat says into the speaker then trails off a little clearly shouting at Magnus. “That is if he ever goes inside!” Isabelle hears a muffled response that is no doubt sassy before Cat returns to her. “So, you in?”

“Absolutely,” Isabelle smiles lifting herself off her bed and towards her closet to find the perfect outfit for the night. She’s glad for the change, a fancy record party with at least a few people she knows well is much better than any of her other options.

“Your brother is catering last minute by the way,” Catarina adds on and Isabelle freezes as she slides open her closet door. That explains why Cat is yelling at Magnus to just go inside the damn building already.

“So, Aline definitely had a hand in the record company reaching out to Magnus to fill in then,” she chuckles. She knew Aline was in charge of the Edom party this year and there’s no way her influence didn’t play a hand.

“Shockingly no,” Cat confirms. “She did however send a very encouraging text to Magnus convincing him to take the offer.”

“And by encouraging I know you mean direct as fuck,” she says flipping through her dresses to pick the perfect one as Catarina hums in response. “I always thought it would be me who cracked first and came up with a hijinks scheme to force them into the same room together.”

“As did I,” Cat says on the other end briefly turning away to talk to someone else, likely Magnus again, before coming back to Isabelle. “But no matter who got the ball rolling, it doesn’t matter as long as it ends with those two sorting their shit out and me no longer having to hear ‘Crimson and Clover,’ just the slow parts, constantly playing in the background whenever I talk to Magnus.”

“At least Magnus’ sadness song is a good song, Alec listens to Avril Lavigne.”

“Shut up, he does not,” Cat says sounding absolutely delighted.

“He does. It’s ‘I’m With You’ like clockwork,” she laughs pulling out a black bodycon dress with silver stripes running down the side and tossing it onto her bed.

“Oh, I can’t wait till they’re back together so I can make fun of him for that,” Cat says filled with absolute delight. She’s pulled away again by Magnus’ voice in the background a little closer now. “Alright, I gotta go Magnus is over his existential crisis about whether or not to go inside. I’ll see you at six for some quick rehearsal.”

They say their goodbyes and Isabelle tosses her phone onto the nightstand to get dressed eager to spend her night onstage doing the thing she loves.

***

“Pleaseeeee,” Rebecca practically begs from her spot on the couch watching as Clary flits around the room braiding her hair and Helen judges her silently from an armchair. Rebecca Lewis is not one to beg, but desperate times and all that.

“No,” Helen says plainly giving her a direct stare. “Why don’t you just ask Simon to go in your place if you don’t wanna go so bad?”

“He’s in Florida with mom,” Rebecca grumbles. Three months ago, at her brother’s insistence Rebecca had signed up for a contest that would allow one person to assist in pressing the button to drop the ball in Times Square. Simon had been giddy with excitement at the prospect as had Rebecca always loving to stay up late and watch the festivity and then somehow Rebecca actually won. However, her giddiness has now faded because three months ago she hadn’t been recently dumped by her girlfriend with no warning and three months ago their mom hadn’t opted to move to Florida to discover herself and dragged Simon along with her to settle in.

Now, she just wants to stay home in her pajamas and watch Star Wars movies and eat at least ten pounds of Chinese takeout while one of her roommates goes in her place. Her roommates however don’t seem to feel the same way judging from the past twenty minutes of desperate pleading.

She turns just as Clary re-enters the room ready to beg, but Clary beats her to the punch not even meeting her eyes as she puts on her black peacoat.

“I’m not passing up on a night with my girlfriend and my dad to fill in for you because you don’t want to put on real pants,” Clary says pointedly. She walks over planting a kiss on Rebecca’s head then one to Helen’s speaking only to her. “Make sure she doesn’t choke to death on a won ton.”

“I make no guarantees,” Helen jokes as Clary chuckles throwing a wave over her shoulder as she heads out the door. Rebecca huffs at them both. They’re her best friends, her newly acquired roommates thanks to the whole being dumped situation, they’re practically her sisters they should be more sympathetic to her plight.

“Come on Helen, it’s a few hours and you get to press a shiny button,” she sits up on the couch leaning forward to hold Helen’s eyes. “And meet the Jonas Brothers.”

“I don’t care about the Jonas Brother’s and you know that,” she says standing and moving to the kitchen, Rebecca reluctantly lifts herself up and follows.

“Oh, come on, I got dumped. Don’t make me go look happy on National television,” she groans lifting herself up onto the kitchen counter.

“You got dumped nearly three months ago by a girl who you told me you weren’t sure you saw future with, that card isn’t going to work,” Helen says putting her hands on her hips.

And okay, Rebecca had said that, but it doesn’t change the fact that she dumped her suddenly just after they moved in together on their one-year anniversary. New Year’s Eve is supposed to be about new beginnings, letting the past year go, and that’s exactly what she wants to do. But she wants to do it with her face buried in carton of fried rice, not with a boy band and the mayor.

The mayor. That’s it.

“The Mayor’s going to be there,” Rebecca starts hoping to reel Helen in. She’s a political science major, an absolute politics nerd, the chance to meet and discuss policy with the Mayor is like offering a chain smoker three cartons. “And some of his staff. At the party thing before as well, which means you’ll have time to actually talk to them, ask them all sorts of questions.”

Helen’s head tilts her deadpan expression gone now replaced with a questioning gaze. Rebecca’s ninety percent sure she’s hooked her.

“Exactly how long is this party thing beforehand?” Yup, she’s got her.

“The rep I talked to said a few hours, the Mayor will be there for the whole thing and was eager to meet the prize winner.”

“And it’s just pressing the button? No other fanfare?”

Rebecca nods her head trying not to look too delighted at having finally swindled her to go in her place.

Helen lets out the most long-suffering sigh Rebecca has ever heard before placing her hands on her hips.

“But I’m supposed to stay here and make sure you don’t choke on a wonton,” she says a clear last-ditch attempt at not crumbling under Rebecca’s pleas.

“Leave me to wallow,” Rebecca bemoans and Helen’s look gets more pointed than before. “I’ll be fine,” she assures. “Go eat some food on the cities dime and geek out about the Mayor, it’ll be a way better New Year’s Eve than being on unnecessary Rebecca watch.”

“Fine,” Helen concedes rolling her eyes with a tiny smile that Rebecca can read as clearly being pleased by at least the Mayor part of the deal. “You sure it’ll be okay?”

“Positive, I emailed the rep this morning and told her I was sending a replacement, didn’t hear back yet, but I assume that’s just cause it’s a pretty busy day for her and all.”

Rebecca slips off the counter opening a nearby drawer filled with takeout menu’s and plucks the one she intends to feast from out before heading back to her burrow on the couch.

“You have to be there by three, have fun,” Rebecca says as she settles reaching out for a pen on the coffee table to circle every item she intends to order.

Helen let’s out a frustrated noise from behind her, “That’s in like an hour. With New Year’s traffic I’m definitely going to be late.”

“So you better get going,” Rebecca says circling six items in a row. She’s not even past the appetizers yet.

Helen huffs again and Rebecca hears the faint sound of her putting on her leather jacket over her t-shirt and jeans.

“You’re not going to change?” Rebecca says still not actually looking up at Helen.

“Clearly I don’t have time,” she says before leaning over the couch and snatching the menu form Rebecca’s hands. Rebecca makes feeble grabby hands at it as Helen pulls away. “You’re also doing the dishes for a month.”

Rebecca reaches out again, Helen pulling the menu back even further.

“Fine,” she huffs as Helen hands her the menu back with a smile. She turns heading for the door and grabbing her keys from the bowl beside it.  

“Don’t choke on a wonton!” she shouts cheerfully as she opens the door, definitely loud enough for the neighbors to here. Rebecca glares at the door for a second before turning back to her menu, happily circling both the cheese and pork wontons.

***

Rebecca wakes to the sound of their intercom buzzing. She blearily looks around realizing she’d decided to take a nap after ordering nearly a hundred dollars’ worth of takeout. She jumps up quickly not wanting to miss the delivery person and shouting a quick be right there into the intercom.

She stumbles into the hall barely remembering to grab her keys and wallet not bothering with her phone shuffling quickly to catch the elevator just as it’s about to close. She tosses herself inside slamming a little heavily into the holding bar on the right side.

“Ouch,” she says rubbing at her hip. A light snort comes from behind her and she twists around to see quite possibly the prettiest woman she’s ever seen standing in the corner of the elevator.

“You okay there?” the woman asks and damn that’s a pretty voice. Rebecca nods a little numbly turning back to the front of the elevator suddenly acutely aware of her outfit. She’s not one to fuss over the finer points of style but the girl behind her is gorgeous in a tight black dress and red leather jacket with hair and makeup styled to perfection.

Rebecca on the other hand is wearing a fuzzy blue robe, a torn to shreds t-shirt with her brother’s bands name printed across it and pajama pants covered in dancing penguins. Her hair is up in a bun that prior to her nap looked neat, but is now more of a bird’s nest. It’s not her finest look and while she’s not exactly been interested in anyone since her breakup she does still have eyes and wouldn’t be mad about this elevator stranger finding her as pretty as she finds the stranger.

***

It’s nearly four by the time Isabelle is ready to go, all done up and looking in her humble opinion pretty damn hot. The trip across town usually wouldn’t require such an early leave, but with the holiday she’s accounting for endless traffic and overcrowded subways.

Isabelle only startles slightly when a girl in a fuzzy blue robe comes barreling into the tiny space left open as the elevator doors closes. And she only snorts lightly when said girl rams into the side of the elevator.

She’s pretty is Isabelle’s first thought, surprised she’s never noticed this girl around the building before. Her outfit’s, well it’s something else, but the sheepish look she gives Isabelle before turning back to face the elevator doors makes it suddenly become a cute look.

They’re quiet after her quick check that the woman is alright after her bump into the wall. The woman reachs out to hit the first-floor button despite the fact it’s already lit when suddenly the elevator makes a loud shrieking noise and freezes completely to a halt somewhere between the second and third floors.

The lights above the door flicker wildly between the two and three as the shake of the elevator sends both women tumbling forward. Isabelle lands pressed right up against the stranger against the wall of buttons face to face. For a tense moment their eyes meet but a dinging sound tears them apart.

“Sorry,” she mumbles as they pull away, the woman just shakes it off, looking down to see they’d hit the emergency button upon their tumble into one another.

“Well at least we skipped that step,” the fuzzy robed woman chuckles. It’s a cute little laugh which just adds to the adorableness of this woman.

“Yeah, but the landlord sucks,” Isabelle huffs pulling out her phone from the pocket of her jacket. “He’ll probably ignore it if he’s even around.”

Her phone immediately lets her know she has no service as soon as she lights up the screen. She holds it up high trying to get a signal to no avail.

“No service. Dammit, dammit, dammit,” she says each dammit getting a little louder. She looks over to the other woman who has an eyebrow raised. “I have to be at work in like two hours so this isn’t ideal.”

“Working on New Year’s Eve?” the woman questions.

Isabelle nods, “I’m a backup singer, a friend needed a fill in at the Edom Records party.”

“Cool,” the other woman says as Isabelle starts banging against the door and pressing the buttons in the hopes something will change. She shouts hoping her voice with its impressive vocal range will catch someone’s attention, but there’s nothing but silence on the other side.

“I’m Rebecca Lewis by the way,” the woman in the robe says after Isabelle drops her hand from the metal door and sighs.

“Isabelle Lightwood,” she replies grateful to have a name to the cute face and grateful that introduction stopped her from breaking her hand by banging on the metal doors so hard. “I don’t think anyone’s out there. I knew I should have taken the stairs.”

It’s been months since the last elevator mishap, but the caution still should be there. She blames her damn heels. She should have gone with the wedges not the stilettos then she wouldn’t have even looked at the elevator. Damn, sexy shoes.

“Does this happen a lot?” Rebecca inquires and Isabelle assumes she must be new to the building if she’s unaware of the great summer elevator fiasco.

“The damn thing broke down a dozen times over the summer. My brother, who’s also my roommate,” she adds on. “Managed to get himself stuck in here three times and it took hours each time. We might be here a while.”

“My foods gonna get taken back,” Rebecca whines as she slides down onto the floor to sit.

“Your food?” Isabelle turns to her incredulously from where she’d still been staring at the doors. “I have literal work to be at!”

Rebecca looks at her like she’s crazy for raising her voice. There’s a chance she is a little bit. It’s just she was so excited about tonight and now she’s stuck in an elevator, with an admittedly cute girl but still stuck and she’s bummed about it.  

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to shout,” Isabelle says moving to slide down to the floor opposite Rebecca. For the first time since the elevator stopped Isabelle lets herself relax a bit, accepting her fate with a sigh.

Rebecca just shrugs one fluffy blue robed shoulder seemingly nonplussed now about Isabelle’s brief outburst.

“I just love New Year’s Eve,” Isabelle muses continuing on to fill the silence. “And this gig tonight was going to be so perfect for new beginnings and all that and now I’m stuck in an elevator.”

Rebecca snorts at that, a rough almost bitter kind of thing. Isabelle’s head perks up.

“Not a fan of the night?”

Rebecca shrugs, “I used to be, my brother and I loved it. This year not so much. Mostly just ready to put this year behind me.”

Isabelle hums. This girl sounds a lot like Alec, or how Alec will hopefully only sound for a few more hours if things go well tonight with Magnus.

“Well I love it,” she says. Always has ever since she was a little girl. Jace, Alec, her mom and eventually Max would always pass out before the ball dropped, but Isabelle never did. She’d watch with wide eyed wonder as the glowing sphere made its descent counting down in an excited whisper as to not startle her family lounging around her. As she got older it became more than that, it was a night of fun and kissing a pretty girl or boy at midnight, maybe good work if she could find it. But she always looks at it with that wide-eyed wonder she felt when she was little. New beginnings covered in glitter and bright peals of laughter no matter what the year brought always made her feel alive. She says all of that aloud to Rebecca.

She looks up when she’s done and Rebecca is staring at her, expression a little unreadable. Somewhere caught between incredulous, but also a hint of wonderous that Isabelle wants to ask about when suddenly she hears the click of boots in the hallway.

***

“Wait, did you hear that?” Rebecca asks shuffling closer to the door when she hears footsteps outside welcoming the distraction to look away from Isabelle’s glowing eyes as she talked about her love of New Year’s Eve. It’s way too much to be hearing from such a pretty girl, when she herself used to feel that exact same way any year before this one.  

“That sounds like a person,” Isabelle says standing up and immediately banging on the doors in hopes to get someone’s attention. “HEY!” she yells as she bangs her hands harder. “Somebody out there? We’re stuck in the elevator.”

“Isabelle?” a male voice on the other side says.

“Raphael?!” Isabelle says excitedly before turning to Rebecca. “It’s Raphael!” she says it like Rebecca should have any idea who that is.

“How long have you been in there?” the male voice sounds from the other side.

“Not long thankfully, but my phone won’t work in here and I have to be across town to backup for Magnus by six so can you use that weird superhuman strength of yours to pry open this door and get us out?” Isabelle pleads.

“Us?” Raphael, evidently, asks.

“Yeah, one of our neighbors is in here too, now come on super boy!”

Rebecca doesn’t know this Raphael, but somehow some way she can sense an eyeroll through the metal door.

“First, we’ve talked about this, do not call me that,” he says gruff, but with a hint of fondness. The fondness makes Rebecca’s gut twist. A feeling of jealousy she has no right to have just because she thinks Isabelle is pretty. “Second, I’m not just going to bust open the door that could kill you. I’ll text Magnus so he knows you’re going to be late and I’ll go get Meliorn to see if he can figure this out. Stay put, okay.”

Isabelle rolls her eyes, “Stay put? Where exactly am I going to go?”

Raphael huffs out a laugh muffled by the door, “Knowing you Isabelle, I wouldn’t be surprised if you tried to climb out through the ceiling and scale the building up a floor.”

Rebecca widens her eyes at the insane concept of someone not in a John Wick movie actually trying that. Isabelle shrugs, nonplussed and seemingly accepting of the fact she would be the one person outside of a John Wick movie to try that.

“I’ll be back soon,” he continues on his footsteps growing distant as he seemingly goes to find this Meliorn who can supposedly help them. As soon as his footsteps disappear Rebecca feels instant regret that she didn’t ask him to check and see if her delivery was still downstairs. She totally would have paid him back if he saved her precious food.

Isabelle shuffles and sits back down on the cold metal wall opposite Rebecca.

“Raphael will get us out no worries,” she says with a smile and a seemingly endless confidence in this Raphael.

“Is he your boyfriend?” Rebecca asks a little abruptly.

“He used to be,” Isabelle smiles. “We weren’t the healthiest for one another when we were together, better off as just good friends. He’s actually dating my neighbor Meliorn now, who’s ironically also my ex-boyfriend; you might know him he’s the guy everyone calls when they need something from our scary landlord. He has a Zen way of getting through to even the most abrasive individuals, hence why he and Raphael work so well together.”

“I don’t really know the neighbors. I’ve only been here about a month,” Rebecca says and Isabelle looks pleased like she’d assumed that from Rebecca’s earlier inquiries about the elevator and was excited to be correct. “I think I’ve heard Clary and Helen mention him before.”

“Oh, so you live in 4A?” Isabelle inquires interestedly, Rebecca just nods. “Cool. I know them, well not know them, know them, but they seem nice. Say hello when they see you and hold the doors and all that. My brother actually tried to flirt with Clary when we first moved in, you can imagine that didn’t go his way.” She chuckles at that and Rebecca joins in. Whether the flirting in question had happened pre or post Maia it doesn’t change the fact that Clary is so painfully gay and that’s coming from Rebecca who is a lesbian to the highest degree herself.

“He would have stood a better chance with Helen,” Rebecca jokes, knowing that’s also not really true, Helen may be bi, but she’s picky as hell and very particular about dating outside of her workspace and home space.  

Isabelle laughs, “Yeah that’s what I told him. He said she was pretty too, but gave him this death stare every time he saw her after he hit on Clary so he didn’t even bother.”

And yep that sounds like Helen. She’s the sweetest girl in the world until you annoy her, she’s been on the end of that very death stare so she can absolutely imagine running away if she didn’t already know Helen so well.

They lapse into a comfortable silence after that and when Raphael comes back informing them it may be a couple hours till they’re out, but that Meliorn is on his way with tools and some sort of knowledge on how to fix the elevator. They both just settle back down onto the floor this time side by side.

It’s not long before Isabelle starts talking, she doesn’t ask Rebecca about her obvious distain for New Year’s Eve this year which she’s a little grateful for, but she does talk a lot about herself and about her brothers and her career. It’s clearly mostly just chatter to fill the space, but Rebecca doesn’t mind and finds herself happily asking questions here and there and even exchanging her own tidbits of information about her brother and mom in particular.

***

“Wait so not only are your two ex boyfriends now a couple, but one of them has been friends with your brother’s ex, who is currently trying to win your brother back cause they’re soulmates, since they were kids?” Rebecca sorts out a while later. After Raphael’s second exit and a short conversation the silence had started to dwell on Isabelle so she’d just started talking about anything and everything to fill the space.

She wasn’t sure if Rebecca was even listening, but evidently she was which is nice. She even started to throw in her own tidbits of information about her family as Isabelle chattered on. It’s nice to meet someone who clearly loves their siblings and mother as much as she loves her own.

“Yup,” Isabelle says popping the letter ‘p’ at the end. “It’s funny when Raph and I dated I didn’t even know he knew Magnus, he never really talked about his friends mostly because he used to act like he didn’t have any. I got hired to backup for Magnus once and dragged Alec along and they hit it off immediately which was around when Raph and I broke up and the connection was finally made.”

“That’s a roundabout way to find out you have an existing connection,” Rebecca says squinting a questioning eye.  

Isabelle laughs and it makes Rebecca smile a very pretty smile. It’s true, it’s also a stark reminder of how bad of a couple she and Raphael had been. While Raphael’s asexuality had never been an issue, literally everything else between them had been.

“Like I said not so healthy for one another,” she shrugs. “Once we cut the romance out we finally started talking and actually became friends. Then Meliorn came back into my life and I introduced them and it just works. We cook tamales once a month together and mock Meliorn’s abysmal vegan alternatives.”

Rebecca laughs at that and then they slip back into their silence, it’s comfortable but there’s still a question lingering at the back of Isabelle’s mind. Rebecca speaks so fondly of her brother and mother who are both in Florida this year, which seems to be part of why she’s so anti-New Years, but there’s more to the picture and Isabelle is curious.

“What’s with the New Year’s hate this year?” Isabelle says a little abruptly. It’s a trait she’s earned from her big brother over the years. Alec’s bluntness occasionally carrying over into her. “I mean I know you said your brother and mom aren’t here which is definitely a factor, but that deeply indignant snort you let out earlier when I mused says there’s more to it.”

Rebecca sighs leaning her back against the cool metal. Isabelle is about to tell her she doesn’t have to talk about. That she realizes she may have overstepped and that no matter how much information they’ve swapped about one another over the past hour she’s aware they’re still practically strangers.

But then Rebecca is talking before Isabelle can get out the words.

“I was seeing this girl,” she says not looking at Isabelle, but Isabelle takes in the seeing a girl information with an internal smile. Rebecca’s pretty and loves her family and wears weird pajamas and Isabelle’s kind of into it, so the confirmation of liking girls is a nice thing to have. “And it’s not like we were soulmates or anything, but we had just moved in together and it seemed like maybe we were moving forward even if it had felt like we were a little stagnant and then she just dumps me. No warning and I had to move in with Helen and Clary which then right on the heels of that mom moves to Florida, which is great for her,” she stresses clearly not wanting to blame her mom for anything. It’s something Isabelle understands.

“And she drags Si along with her for a month and just all the positive of the year sapped away. I just want to be done with it. Usually I’d be like you, but I just can’t feel it this year. It’s not even a heartbreak thing, like I said we were pretty stagnant, it’s just a lonely thing. I’d rather forget about this year and start fresh tomorrow.”

Isabelle is contemplative for a moment. She knows she can romanticize New Year’s Eve quite a bit and knows that’s not exactly what Rebecca needs to hear in this moment. She gets what Rebecca is saying, while it had been for the best to break it off with Raphael the dissolving of their romance had axis off center and right after that her father’s affairs came to light. These events hadn’t coincided with a year’s end or any holiday, but the understanding was still there. It had all tilted her world even if it was all for the best.

She shares that quietly into the space between them eyes on Rebecca even though she continues to just look straight ahead at the doors.

“So I get it,” she adds on when she’s done explaining. “I get wanting to start fresh the next day because today was just so damn abysmal and not worth celebrating.”

Rebecca smiles at that turning her head to finally meet Isabelle’s eyes. Isabelle smiles back and is suddenly aware of how close they’re sitting. It’s gotten chillier and chillier in this elevator as the hours have passed by and unconsciously they’ve scooted closer and closer together.

It’s probably not the move to make, but the proximity and heart to heart has Isabelle wanting to lean in and kiss this pretty, sweet, slightly messy girl. And Rebecca, well Rebecca kind of looks like she wouldn’t mind it if Isabelle did just that.

She doesn’t get the chance however when the elevator suddenly jolts again. Rebecca’s knee goes up and Isabelle immediately reaches out to grasp it, the touch grounding and the penguin pajama pants soft under her fingertips. And then they’re moving just like an elevator should right back up to where they started on the third floor. The door opening to reveal Raphael slouched down on the opposing wall headphones in.

He looks up and smiles at Isabelle then down to her hand on Rebecca’s knee and raises a brow. Isabelle immediately moves it not needing that questioning eyebrow right now.

***

Isabelle’s words and understanding set Rebecca at an ease she hasn’t felt in months. It’s so nice to have someone who gets it, especially someone as bright eyed as Isabelle Lightwood.

There’s a tense moment after Isabelle opens up to her where for a split second she thinks maybe she’s going to kiss her, but then the elevator jolts back to life, the doors opening to reveal a smiling man she assumes to be the infamous Raphael.

Isabelle’s hand leaves Rebecca’s knee abruptly as Raphael takes out his headphones and walks towards them holding out a hand to help Isabelle up from the ground that she takes easily. He then does the same for Rebecca introducing himself with a kind smile that’s also sort of intense. Perfectly fitting the description of him Isabelle had given.

“It worked,” another voice, soothing and almost melodic says. There in the doorway stands another man, quite possibly the prettiest man Rebecca’s ever seen even from her gayest point of view. He smiles at them.

“Obviously. You’re a genius Mel,” Isabelle says moving forward to finally exit the elevator. Raphael follows and Rebecca then trudges out behind them. Mel, or Meliorn as he introduces himself explains what was wrong quickly as Isabelle pulls her phone from her pocket.

“Shit,” she says as the phone blows up with every message and missed call she’d received while stuck in the elevator coming in all at once. “I have thirty minutes to make it to this party.”

“Go then,” Raphael says ushering her away. Rebecca stands off to the side watching as she affectionately squeezes both men’s arms. She assumes she should probably just leave and go back to her apartment. She moves to do just that when Isabelle turns gripping her arm to stop her.

“This was fun,” she says when Rebecca turns to look at her. Isabelle’s smile is bright and weirdly, maybe a little nervous. “We should probably not do this exact thing again though.” She chuckles bright.

Rebecca laughs about to respond when Isabelle’s phone buzzes loud in her pocket again.

“Okay, I really have to go,” she says moving forward before pausing and leaning it to press her bright red lips to Rebecca’s cheek. Her lips are soft and warm and usually Rebecca would be so annoyed that someone with lipstick just rubbed it all over her cheek, but she can’t even remotely feel bothered by it this time.

Isabelle pulls back with a shy smile not saying a word and taking off rushing past Rebecca at an alarmingly fast speed, especially considering the heels she’s wearing. Rebecca watches her go lifting a hand to her cheek when she hears a clearing of a throat behind her.

Raphael and Meliorn. Right, they’re still standing there.

She turns seeing two of the most amused expressions she’s ever seen before in her life and she blushes, spluttering to say something in explanation.

Meliorn doesn’t let her though just smiles and waves her off ensuring they’ll deal with blocking off the elevator in case his temporary fix didn’t totally do the trick. She smiles gratefully shuffling back down the hallway in her slippers.

Once she’s back in her apartment she pours herself the largest bowl of cereal known to man mixing together the remaining Lucky Charms and Fruity Pebbles in the cupboard into a large mixing bowl. It’s delicious, not quite the dinner feast she had planned, but considering how hungry she is it suffices. She settles on the couch turning on the tv and finding the ball drop hoping to catch Helen on TV.

It’s still hours away but the globe shines brightly at the top of Times Square. She thinks about Isabelle’s musings and about the way she and Simon used to curl up on the couch and watch this very event and suddenly feels a lot less sad about it all.

She thinks that’s mostly because of the few sweet hours she spent trapped with Isabelle Lightwood.

***

Isabelle flashes her ID at the front door and is blissfully granted access to the party with no hassle.

While the rush across town had allowed her single-minded focus now she’s letting her mind wander to Rebecca. Thinking about maybe knocking on 4A’s door tomorrow and seeing if she has dinner plans.

When she enters she already hears the familiar chords of Bat’s guitar signaling they’re about to hit the stage taking her back to that single-minded focus. She pushes herself to run one last time, those final few floors, avoiding the hotel elevator cause she’s not trusting another one of them tonight.

She tumbles backstage and quickly reassures Magnus’s concerned eyes with a smile and as the music swells and Bat tosses her a friendly wink everything else falls away. It’s just her and the band and the music and only a tiny corner of thoughts about Rebecca Lewis.

***

It’s nearly an hour till midnight watching that ball shine and listening to Ryan Seacrest prattle on about the Jonas Brother’s when it hits Rebecca that she didn’t ask for Isabelle’s number or anything of the like. She doesn’t even know what apartment number she lives in and she’s suddenly hit with a wave of regret. It’s not that they couldn’t run into one another again, but there’d been a spark and much like her brother Rebecca has been known to let sparks fly and then die because her nerves get the best of her. But right now she doesn’t feel nerves, she just wants to ask Isabelle Lightwood on a date, the problem is she can’t.

Or at least she can’t in any way that’s sane and doesn’t involve rushing across town to a party she definitely won’t get inside.

Unless.

Before she knows what she’s doing Rebecca slips her slippers back on her feet securely grabbing her things from the table by the door and heading out. She should probably change, but she should also probably not be doing this.

But that spirit she once had about New Year’s Eve feels a little brighter in her veins and she feels a pull that tells her tonight has to be the night she does this.

[klaus-lunettes-appreciation]

Ohohoho! Now this one is gonna be fun!

MEREOLEONA VERMILLION; I'm gonna be real with y'all, I have a big crush on her, she is just great and awesome and she could totally kick my ass, which is an easy accomplishment but you get my point

Vanessa Enoteca; at first, I thought she was just gonna be fanservice but then she got such an amazing arc in with witches forrest and now I love her

Mariella; I love her hair, and I enjoy her conviction, even if she's only in one arc

Rebecca; I really love her hairstyle, and I really relate to her about taking care of her siblings, she's also just really cool to me

Noelle Silva; the only decent hair out of all of her siblings, and I just really enjoy her growth into an amazing person

Sol; I kinda hate her personality sometimes but I enjoy that she actually got to grow as a character, and she's also, like, really pretty

Fragil Tormenta; her interactions with Rill are really funny, and I like her outfit

Mimosa Vermillion; I adore her, and her passive aggressiveness but her bangs. I just... don't like them, and then she kinda got sidelined after the tournament arc which I thought was lame, but whatever

Sister Lily Aquaria; even though she's a nun, she's super powerful, really kind and has a lot of patience for stupid idiots, and she is pretty cute

Secre; a manga character who I think is adorable and great, and that's all you're getting

And that is my top 10 list for the most attractive Black Clover gals, I really adore how they grow as people and get their own strength over the story! This is a bit out of my usual posting habits but a question is a question.

[acacia-may]

You know, I really love Rebecca from Black Clover, but there's hardly anything about her, sadly. So, for your friendsgiving event, wouldn't you mind write something about her and her siblings? Thanks a lot.

Hi Anon! Rebecca is such an underrated character, I agree. I love how diligent and hard-working she is, and her devotion to her family is incredibly sweet and wholesome! I've only written about her once before (and just barely, if I'm being perfectly honest) so I hope I have done her justice. In that previous story, I gave Rebecca a throwaway line about how her younger siblings love to make blanket forts so that's what I decided to write about for your request. (Linked Here and Below). I hope you will like it!

Thank you so much for submitting a request and participating in my Friendgiving Event! Cheers!!

Profile

Height: 6"1' Age: 66 (season 1) Weight: 190lbs Eyes: amber Blood: A+

John is a near spitting image of his oldest son James if his son aged thirty years. He has short black hair that is turning gray and wrinkles surrounding his mouth and amber-like eyes. A large scar runs across his face starting up at his right temple and ending along his lower left cheek.

He often wears clean black slacks, a white dress shirt with a royal blue vest and a long black trench coat that ends just before his cap-toe oxfords.

It is known that like his son Fili, John enjoys writing Quinn love letters and poems.

History

A born and raised English gentleman, John Savage was raised in London, England. He is an only child with no siblings but does have a few cousins on both of his parents' sides of the family. John grew up to join MI6 as one of their undercover agents and he travelled the world performing dangerous missions.

During a stress leave from MI6, John ended up visiting Grimsborough, USA and met a woman named Rebecca. The two fell in love and eventually got married and had a son together who they named James. But as their son got older the couple began to notice that his eyes appeared to have yellow undertones in them. John, suspecting the mutation might be a result of an accident from one of his missions, left Grimsborough and went back undercover to find out more about the secret organization he'd heard about.

Over time, he and Rebecca drifted apart and found that they no longer loved each other the way they once did. The couple separated but never formally divorced to help maintain James's right to inherit anything John left behind should he be killed while on a mission. Sadly, Rebecca passed away several years after John left Grimsborough.

After the death of his first wife, John couldn't return to Grimsborough as he feared for the safety of his son if any of John's enemies found out about him. So he remained in London but checked in on James periodically, even if he never spoke to his son.

As the years went by, John was eventually transferred to Dublin, Ireland for his work and this is where he met Quinn McGee. John likes to say it was love at first sight but he was nervous to approach the woman about his feelings after what had happened with Rebecca. So, John began writing Quinn love letters and sending her flowers after noticing the large gardens her family's property had.

After finding out who was sending her the beautiful letters and flowers, Quinn shocked John by appearing on his doorstep one day demanding he makes good on the promise he wrote to her and take her on a date. John, ever the gentleman, happily obliged and the rest is history.

The couple never married but they did have a son, Fili. The boy gave his parents quite the scare with his gigantism, but he always made sure to bring his parents flowers to put smiles on their faces.

After Fili grew up, joined MI6 and began travelling for his missions, John and Quinn began to prepare for retirement. They also began planning for their long-awaited wedding and dreamed of getting married with all of their loved ones by their side. That is why it was so important to John that when the couple moved to Grimsborough that he reconnect with his oldest son.

Events of Criminal Case

Season 1

John made his debut appearance alongside his fiancée, Quinn, when the two of them moved to Grimsborough. They moved into the spare bedroom above Fili's shop and help their son manage his floral business. Quinn deals with the flowers while John handles the bookkeeping.

He also served as Jones's partner during the murder investigation of Renée Murphy as Adalet was unavailable to work the case.

Later, he and Quinn got married surrounded by their friends and family the day before Fili was scheduled to depart for his MI6 mission.

Season 2

John appeared for his son's funeral after MI6 had reported him dead from his mission. The man refused to believe their claims as there had been no body to bury and hounded his old agency for answers until they eventually revealed that Fili was alive and recovering in Australia. John was sworn to secrecy about his son's status and could not reveal the truth until Fili had returned safely to America.

After his son had returned, John attend Fili and Adalet's wedding in Pacific Bay several months later. He's so proud of the men his sons have become and cried as he watched Fili marry the love of his life. He and Quinn were also overjoyed to meet their grandson Ahmet and secretly hope that there will be more grandkids for them in the future.

Season 3

John first appeared in Save The World during a video call with the Bureau in Do You Know Who You Are?. After the Bureau discovered that Fili's DNA had traces of what appeared to be SOMBRA's enhancement formula, the team requested John's help explaining how it got there as it had been there since Fili's birth. John disclosed to his son and the Bureau about two missions he'd gone on during his MI6 days, one before James was born and the second following his first son's birth. He explained that MI6 had been investigating a company called New Age Laboratories, which was illegally experimenting on humans trying to "enhance" them. John had unknowingly been exposed to the enhancement serum, which was passed on to James. Despite MI6 having no proof of what caused James' unnatural eye colour, John knew New Age Labs was responsible and defied orders to reinvestigate.

Unfortunately, John was captured and experimented on by New Age Labs. When he eventually escaped, his eyes were now a yellowish-amber colour, and MI6 found mutations in his DNA. This gave MI6 enough evidence to destroy New Age Labs, confiscate their research and arrest the scientists. One scientist who managed not to face criminal charges was Marshall Metcalf, who later joined SOMBRA to recreate the enhancement formula.

Later, when Fili was born, it was discovered that the formula was mixed in with his DNA, making him the first human born with the enhancements in an almost perfect mix. Of course, his gigantism was an issue, but thankfully, MI6 managed to slow down his growth before it could seriously hurt or kill him. But this didn't mean it was easy for Fili to learn the truth behind his family's eyes, and he felt betrayed that his father had never told him earlier. John apologized for never saying anything and tried to calm his son down, but Fili stormed out of the plane to be alone.

John was informed a few hours later that Fili had been captured by SOMBRA. John blamed himself for his son's kidnapping, believing that if he had told Fili the truth earlier, maybe it could have helped protect him from SOMBRA. Regardless, John, Quinn and James waited to hear word about the Bureau finding Fili and weeks later, they got the call that he had been found and freed of SOMBRA's control. The family imminently booked a flight to Australia for the earliest departure and arrived in Melbourne a few days after the Bureau left and reunited with Fili.

It was hard for John to see his son in a hospital bed. Fili always seemed so strong, so invincible. But now, he seemed small and helpless. Knowing that SOMBRA had further experimented on Fili filled John with rage. How dare they hurt his son! They made Fili scared of his own strength and made his powers even stronger. John, Quinn, and James did everything they could to help Fili recover and learn to control his new strength and magical abilities. And eventually, the light returned to Fili's eyes, and he smiled as brightly as the sun again.

Even if John would have liked to keep Fili close and take him back to Grimsborough, where he could keep an eye on him, he knew his son needed to see SOMBRA defeated alongside the Bureau. So, John let his son go, and Fii returned to the Bureau, but he promised to call his family more often to help stop them from worrying. With Fili back at the Bureau, John, Quinn, and James returned to Grimsborough and waited for the day SOMBRA was defeated. And when that day came, the Savages celebrated together before flying to New York to see Fili and the team.

Following the reunion, there was even more cause for celebration when Adalet and Fili announced they were expecting a baby. John was so happy to hear that there would be a new bundle of joy after so much heartache, and couldn't wait to hold the baby for the first time. Adalet and Fili deserved something good to look forward to after losing their first baby, and while raising a baby is never easy, they have family and friends to help them, and John knows the baby will grow up happy, safe, and loved.

HUMOR: Asta Spotted at Beach with Silver-Haired Vixen!

  This article written by Peter Fobian was originally published December 20, 2018

  Prepare your fans and breeze magic! We’ve got the latest on the two hottest bachelors in the Clover Kingdom as well as most likely candidates for the next Wizard King!

  Now that Asta and Yuno have parted ways to join separate Knight Squads, they each have a ton of new people in their lives they’re working closely with. The two used to be very close; eating, sleeping, and even bathing together but now they've split to each focus on working toward their mutual goal that only one of them can grasp!

  Who will fill the void left by each other’s absences? This news is so hot you’d swear you’ve just been shot through the heart by Fuegoleon Vermillion‘s Leo Rugiens!

    Although a recent chance meeting between Asta and Yuno showed the two are still very close, there have been a few new faces in Yuno’s orbit.

  We have it from a reliable source that Yuno has been getting a number of deliveries of treats sent to his home address. He’s had a few recent “chance” encounters with one of the foremost experts on baked goods in the Clover Kingdom, the Black Bulls’ Charmy. Although officially present to defend the nation against foreign attacks, in their last two encounters they’ve been spotted bringing each other lunch.

    A new girl has been seen hanging off of Yuno’s shoulder recently. In fact, the mysterious Bell hasn’t made any public appearance without Yuno present. She seems pretty possessive of her new companion, making a public scene during Asta and Yuno’s recent reunion and even throwing hands when Charmy started making moves on her man. Although little known outside of her association with Yuno, Bell is definitely outspoken. During a recent altercation with some of the Diamond Kingdom’s biggest bachelors, those nearby report hearing her yelling “Yuno belongs to me!”

  Another dark horse is emerging in the chase after Yuno. Although not hanging off Yuno’s arm, the Golden Dawn’s Klaus has been seen in proximity to our windswept charmer. We’re not sure what the official relation between the two could be, perhaps a secretary? Klaus certainly has that look. Despite vocal criticism of some of Yuno’s recreational activities, witnesses have seen him sneaking approving glances Yuno’s way. We have at least one witness who claims to have spotted the two together on a moonlit ride in Klaus’s chariot.

    If you think Yuno has got a lot going on, then prepare yourself for Asta! Despite his below-average height and lack of magic, he’s been making serious waves ever since he landed in the Black Bulls. After just a few short months he’s fending off interested parties with a sword!

  Our biggest recent sighting placed Asta at the beach with one of the youngest heiresses to the Clover Kingdom’s wealthy Silva family, who was dressed to impress in a bejeweled bikini. As if that wasn’t enough, the two were even seen sneaking off at night together to enjoy a private performance from young up-and-coming magical pop idol Kahono!

    Noelle isn’t the only noble that's been caught by Asta’s charm. The youngest daughter of the Silvas' fiercest rivals, Mimosa Vermillion, is keeping up family tradition by vying for Noelle’s sweetheart. Her obligations to the Golden Dawn have kept her at a distance, Mimosa’s been making some bold moves whenever they chance upon one another. Is a young bachelorette bringing flowers to her amor traditional or progressive? You decide!

  The two may have some competition, however. Asta recently hooked up with a mysterious new girl at a work mixer who we’ve identified as local private business owner, Rebecca. The two ducked out together early and shared a private moment in a nearby alley. Since then, Asta has made at least one visit to her home where he was seen playing with her siblings before spending the night!!! We obtained this photograph of what looks like a bit more than a friendly peck goodbye just before Asta left. Noelle has been seen nearby the pair on both occasions and, needless to say, she doesn’t look happy!

    The aforementioned Klaus is either hedging his bets or just plain ambitious. In addition to covert activities with Yuno, Klaus has been making the most of his time during collaborations between the Golden Dawn and Black Bulls by boldly working his magic on Asta right in front of Yuno. We’d say he’s overreaching, but this could just be a play for attention with Yuno. A little jealousy can go a long way ...

  Our final dark horse is the Black Bulls' Gordon, who's been cleverly avoiding paparazzi while keeping a short leash on Asta. Although he missed the boat for the Black Bulls' recent beach trip, he’s boasted being nearby their newest member at all times. It’s been difficult to get a soundbyte, but the other members of the Black Bulls have divulged that Gordon has been nonstop whispers about Asta since he joined. Maybe some juicy gossip?

  Asta and Yuno are both keeping themselves pretty busy on and off the job, but it’s too early to say where, or if, they may make their nest. The two have always been fiercely competitive, but safe to say — at least for the time being — it looks like Asta’s winning! Be sure to check in next week for our follow-up story following two more magic knights!

PHYSICAL.

HAIR : Jet Black, wavy and usually worn down. It’s currently regrown out to about her shoulders. EYES : Hazel, rimmed in green, with long lashes and a strong swooping brow NOSE : straight and defined, not quite buttonish, but rather unremarkable FACE : Triangular to Square, she has prominent cheekbones, a squarish jaw with a strong chin. LIPS : Average, but on the fuller side. Always painted in a blood red, which is really smudge-resistent. Though she’s not adverse to occasionally intentionally wearing a less kiss-proof version of the shade. COMPLEXION : Using this reference, her tone ranges from tawny to terra cotta, leaning toward the brown-red. BLEMISHES : She has the occasional dark freckle on her arms and back, but not many. SCARS : There are several across her knuckles. On her torso there are thin scars, both smooth and jagged, from gunshots and knife wounds. She’s got one that nearly traces her collar bone, but is really only noticeable when she has a tan--it goes silvery and almost seems to take on a ghastly glow. Most of them have faded by now. TATTOOS : A large ornate Fleur de lis on her right shoulderblade, a TS on her left hand, a chaos symbol at the top of her spine at her hairline, a fiery lion on her hip. A lovely ornate peacock has joined the mix, along with a wolf  on her lower back.

USUAL FACE LOOK : Usually she has a welcoming look. Thankfully, she doesn’t suffer from resting bitch face, but that sultry pout gets her in trouble from time to time. USUAL CLOTHING : Furia is usually dressed quite posh. She even makes sloopy jeans and a t-shirt look dressy. She keeps her appearance up to a certain rather refined scale complete with stylish heels and boots, though of late she’s been veering back into baggy jeans, clunky work boots in purple, baggy hoodies, and bandanas (mainly for when she goes ‘writing’).

PSYCHOLOGY.

FEAR / S : Open water, boats, losing people she cares about, being the cause of the loss of those she cares about (either death or estrangement) ASPIRATION / S : Stealing every moment of happiness she can from the darkness of the world, as well as guiding the empire to autonomy.

FAMILY.

FATHER : Martín Guerrero MOTHER : Angela Guerrero SIBLINGS : Memo, Maximo, Enrique & Emilio, Socorro, Gabriel EXTENDED FAMILY : Several aunts and uncles NAME MEANING / S : Soledad means solitude. After losing her parents and grandparents, she feared that her name might signify her fate. That thought still haunts her from time to time, especially lately with Troy’s death and her estrangement with Johnny. Amaranta means unfading, and Guerrero means warrior. HISTORICAL CONNECTION? : Only in Stilwater, her grandfather (Yayo) Alejandro ran a black market smuggling ring out of the Stilwater docks. He was careful and successful enough to remain unknown to officials in the city.

FAVOURITES.

BOOK : Persuasion by Jane Austen, maybe tied with Fantomina by Eliza Haywood MOVIE : Probably the Fast and the Furious movies--cars, races, chases, explosions, and fights. Hard to beat, or so she tells me. 5 SONGS :  Alpha Female by Wild Beasts, Raise Hell by Dorothy, A Little Wicked by Valerie Broussard, Hips Don’t Lie by Shakira, Bad Influence by P!nk DEITY : God, though the two had a falling out years ago, she chooses not to believe in him HOLIDAY : New Year’s & Mardi Gras MONTH : March, because it’s usually quite rainy SEASON : Winter PLACE : Anywhere, as long as she’s there with someone she loves WEATHER : Rainy or sunny SOUND : The powerful rumble of well-built engine SCENT / S :  Spices, smoke TASTE / S : Caramel, spices, chiles, smoked meats and veggies,  .

EXTRA.

TALENTS : Cooking and baking, drawing and ‘writing’, dancing, picking locks, driving, boosting cars BAD AT : Pistol accuracy, dealing with her own failures (particularly when she feels she’s failed the people closest to her), placing herself before the people she loves,  TURN ONS : Confidence, fun loving nature, adventurousness, loyalty TURN OFFS : Lack of a sense of humor, taking oneself too seriously, lying/dishonesty HOBBIES : Dancing, graffiti, drawing, cooking (though not as much now that she doesn’t have a place in Bossville). TROPES : Lovable Rogue, Tomboy & Girly Girl (Though she fits both roles in her timeline), Sugar & Ice Personality (though few have witnessed her icy side) AESTHETIC TAGS : #Araña, #Seda y Encaje, #Dulce y Picante, #Veloz GPOY QUOTES :  “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist.” -Oscar Wilde | “One day, you will wake up and there won’t be any more time to do the things you’ve always wanted. Do it now.” -Paulo Coelho | “Never waste a moment, it may be the last with someone you love.”

FC INFO.

MAIN FC / S : Natalie Danish & herself ALT FC / S : I don’t know her name but the woman who is in the avatar square when posts from this blog show in the dashboard. OLDER FC / S : Haven’t really given it much thought. To be honest, I’m not sure she’ll make it to fifty or much past.  YOUNGER FC / S : Again, I’ve posted a pic or two here and there, but of nameless folks. VOICE CLAIM / S : Rebecca Sanabria (the Latina VO actress from SR 2) Though Furia’s got a thicker accent than most, she never wanted or tried to lose it. Honestly, when I hear her voice in my head I hear deeper Latina voices like Sofia Vergara, Salma Hayek, and Maria Conchita Alonzo. GENDERBENT FC / S : Jason Momoa (who is also the FC for her brother Memo, they look very much alike).

MUN QUESTIONS.

Q1 : if you could write your character your way in their own movie , what would it be called , what style would it be filmed in , and what would it be about ?

A1 : It would be some over dramatic mix of action and romance probably. There would probably be a lot of cars and skimpy lingerie. It’d likely have some corny name like Silk & Steel, or something foolish.

Q2 : what would their soundtrack / score sound like ?

A2 : It would be a mix of things you can dance to.

Q3 : why did you start writing this character ?

A3 : I actually created Furia for a smut one shot. She was supposed to be a one trick pony and this happened.

Q4 : what first attracted you to this character ?

A4: She’s just this mix of serious and playful. It’s really her imperfections and faults that I enjoy the most.

Q5 : describe the biggest thing you dislike about your muse.

A5 : Oh, she can be quiet moody and self-destructive.

Q6 : what do you have in common with your muse ?

A6 : A love of music and caramel. And we’re both good cooks.

Q7 : how does your muse feel about you ?

A7 : She thinks I really need to get out more 

Q8 : what characters does your muse have interesting interactions with ?

A8 : All of them! Really! Whether it’s something playful or character building. The interactions with everyone are always fun, and even the most innocent, calm, superficial interactions and draw out some of her history and pieces of her personality. Honestly, her interactions with other muses and characters has allowed me to develop Furia much more fully over the last several years.

Q9 : what gives you inspiration to write your muse ?

A9 : Music, movies, prompts, RP, talking to other muns, reading, driving. And for some reason when I fall asleep, she tends to pop into my head some nights. It kills me because I always end up sitting up 5 or 6 times to jot down some idea that came to me as I was falling asleep.

Q10 : how long did this take you to complete ?

A10 : A few hours give or take.
