(Inspired by Beauty and the Deer by @thisonesock ^-^ got the inspiration from this amazing fic to do my own fairytale inspired AU)
Cinderella AU:
Tumblr media
Alastor:
Is a human, cannibal, serial killer
Is just him and his mother
Was dressed up by his friend Rosie and dragged to the ball against his will
Rosie acting as some stand in for the Fairy Godmother and giving Alastor some fancy glasses to wear instead of his usual old worn-down pair
Was never there to meet the King but ended up dancing with him to have an alibi for the person he killed in the palace
Finds himself enjoying picking, teasing, and poking at the small man until he has to run from the guards
Drops his fancy pair of glasses in his hurry
Tumblr media
King of Hell pretending to be human royalty and allowing the hellborn a chance to blend in with the humans for one night under the guise of finding a new spouse
Charlie and Vaggie there as Princess and Royal Guard to have some fun also
Ends up bored with the whole thing until he gets swept up in a dance with Alastor
Wouldn't have entertained it but got intrigued by the scent of blood and death that clung to him
Enjoyed that this human had the guts to talk to him the way he did
Had actually chased after him when he had run off and snorted at the glasses that got dropped in the human's hurry much like Cinderella's glass slipper

Trigger Warnings: bullying against an unnamed character, attempted sexual assault that gets swiftly punished against the reader, and violence.
WC: 1.7k
Tumblr media
[ Middle School ]
You bring a camera to an exhibition game at Kitagawa Daiichi's volleyball club. Although your senpai asked you to assist him, you're not thrilled about the task. You want to trudge through the woods with your friends in search of a true story, such as a murderous ghost or a serial killer, not trapped getting the best angle of a bunch of sweaty boys.
Nonetheless, it's easy to blend in with these girls who scream for Oikawa Tooru. You appreciate them. There's no other way to get good material. How will you get candid expressions if you don't use the ideal environment, where everyone practically vibrates with energy?
You take multiple shots to get the perfect set of photos. The barest gleam of Iwaizumi-senpai’s smile as his captain leaps for a devastating jump-serve. Kindaichi’s fierce gaze as he blocks some poor first years. The laughter, camaraderie, and pure friendship that you may have wished you had if it hadn't been your duty to document it. It occurred to you that you may have fallen in love with the game at the time, even if you weren't aware of it.
Their resolve was as firm as the wood that supported the countertop of your family's antique shop. The movement is as refined as the masters who meticulously crafted each angle.
Volleyball isn't something you're particularly familiar with, but as an outside observer, you hope to capture a figment of that emotion. Keep your fingers steady and your hands sure as you trace each moment like a lover's caress before you must leave. When the match is over, you walk out like you came in--without a desire for someone to notice.
The truth is someone does notice you. Tyki hobbles towards you with a pencil behind his ear, a notebook in hand, and clumps of leaves in his hair. “Thank you so much!” A familiar trio of broadcasting club members run behind him.
“You needed me.”
Tumblr media
[ Highschool - 1st Year ]
Aoba Johsai doesn’t have a manager, and it still doesn’t. You're not friends with Oikawa Tooru, but he lets you stay in the gym's shadows. If someone is there, he's being watched. It feels somewhat like absolution to realize that another person exists between the thump of the ball and the pant of pain, witnessing him in the dark while he destroys himself.
( You’d mentioned in passing to him that your family's house wasn't the best, that it alternated between oppressive silence and too much noise. He looked thoughtful before making a simple offer: you can stay after practice with him as long as you help him get clean recordings for matches. )
If you were braver, you would tell Iwaizumi. The Iwaizumi that bought you a soda and asked for a picture of his best friend. While working on the innards of an old clock, you wish you were the kind of girl who could fend off the monster that appears to be pursuing his footsteps. The slightest tension in your resolve causes the clock to chime.
You both look up, startled, and instinctively, you toss the water bottle he had left by your side at him. He gives you the side eye, but he drinks anyway.
You think it's more for you than for him.
You think it’s more for Iwaizumi than for him.
Your jaw moves and you try to find the right words; the story continues as if by magic. Oikawa's well-known knight begins yelling when the doors fly open. The captain of Seijoh starts pleading and you can't run while holding the rusted gears on your lap.
Cinderella is always found.
A promise. A threat. An ending.
What happens to the mouse when the princess is whisked away to her castle?
Tumblr media
[ Highschool - 2nd Year ]
If the story is kind, the mouse is brought along to live with the princess. If the story is unkind, the mouse is left behind at the stepmother’s manor. In actuality, the narrative is neither kind nor unkind. When Tyki finally gets chastised by the supervising teacher for shirking his duties after years of chasing specters, you bow before Iwaizumi and Oikawa and inform them that the original newspaper club member will report on them. Oikawa calls it a betrayal, while Iwaizumi calls him an idiot.
A head pat and a milk bun that has spent the entire day being shoved into a jacket are your reward for your hard work. You offer the milk bun to one of Oikawa's admirers to raise money for your efforts to bring Tsukishima another dinosaur antique. Yamaguchi pleads with you to stop funding his friend's addiction. You apologize, but you’re proud of your work.
The next order of business is the worst part. After you tell Iwaizumi and Oikawa that you're leaving the club, and Tsukishima that you'll have to ship his antique to his house, you confess to Tyki that you're leaving Miyagi. Your grandfather wishes to enrich your experience because he believes there is more to the world than this run-down town.
He cries for you. He sobs for the memories in this small room where you spent years keeping records of others. You seem to have a bad habit of disappearing.
The clock strikes twelve.  
The mouse is just a mouse.
Tumblr media
[ Highschool – 3rd Year. ]
Even though foxes are known for eating mice, you choose to take over as Inarizaki's third-year manager, a difficult position to obtain. Many girls wanted to be even closer to the Miya twins. You don't blame them because you've been filming monsters for years. You've seen first-hand how stunning they can be when they're in their element.
Fortunately, you have no intention of turning a beast into a prince, but you do want to understand them. The time you spent with Aoba Johsai's volleyball club was insufficient. More resplendencies can be captured with a camera in your hand if you have the knowledge to take the right angle.
Curiosity has never killed your species. If you kept staring at the dark-haired boy who became rigid from the attention, there might be a first time. Making your case to Suna Rintarou wasn't easy because, while Atsumu Miya is the one who openly desired to devote his entire life to the altar of volleyball, you suspect that behind those bored eyes, there is a similar passion. The only thing that convinces him is your willingness to sell your clock tool kit to get him a better cellphone.
He sobs in excitement while repeatedly rotating the object in his hands. You notice they’ve developed calluses through the repetition of manual labor rather than through the dedication required of a sport. You're starting to get the sickening feeling that, eventually, you would have sold your clock tool kit just to please him. 
It’s something you need to squash down. Oikawa Tooru only ever allowed you in his presence since you didn't have the same level of affection for him as the rest. You’re not sure if it's pity, kindness, or a vague sense of 'I'm curious to see how this will go,' but finally, finally, he looks at you like you’re worth his time. Did Cinderella ever need anything other than her beauty and kindness to entice her prince? Or was there dedication hidden in that first pink dress, torn apart by her stepmother and sisters? While you’re not sure you have either, the sacrifice must be worth it.
This is the first time you've wanted so desperately that you've risked something for your wish.
Tumblr media
The beginnings weeks as a manager are difficult; nonetheless, you are rewarded by watching them. You don't mind if Inarizaki's starters keep their distance because their commitment inspires you to work harder. Both your videography and photography evolve leaps and bounds during this first stint.  
You smile a little more. You talk like you used to in the broadcasting club about leaping over wire fences with your senpai. He had an uneasy feeling that something sinister was going on at Aoba Johsai, and he was going to break the story. Because it was only a few upperclassmen who were messing with Kyoutani, you both ended up snitching to Oikawa.
You leave out the darker part. Oikawa bullied them in a slow, insidious way, not with his fists, but by convincing the rest of his year to ignore these upperclassmen and pretend they didn't exist. Though Iwaizumi eventually put a stop to his worst antics, the memory of how easily a boy could turn on you sticks with you.
Perhaps that's why, for a split second, you hesitated when one of the second-year benchwarmers wrapped a strong, bruising hand around your wrist. You knew his intention was the supply closet behind the gym. All you could think about was you or him, you or him, you or him.
Who would they believe?
“Oh, you want to go into the supply closet? Okay, we’ll go.”
Suna is a blur of speed as he drags the other boy inside. You're sitting against a tree trunk, listening to the impact of each punch along with deciding how to spin it so Inarizaki doesn't expel him. Finally, you decide that Atsumu would cover for his friend. You have faith in that much.
( "I'm not sure what ya' mean…. Suna was practicing with me and Samu all night." He nods. "Ask anyone on the team. They were all there." )
When he comes out, he sits farther away from you, but close enough to show you the photos he's taken of his victim's bruised and battered body. "I would protect you," he says, his gaze falling to the spot where you were clutching your wrist. “I hope this is enough proof.” Those bloody knuckles you notice when you look back are a promise.
He's watching you as much as you watch him.
Tumblr media
You think you've been in this circumstance before. A volleyball is hurtling towards you, and its path is directly in line to your face and Suna's bag. He loves that phone more than he loves his own life, so you don’t dodge.
There is a lot of yelling. You pull out your own phone with trembling fingers and laugh as you record a video, "Hey, Iwaizumi-senpai, remember that time I got hit with a ball back at Kitagawa Daiichi? It happened again."
"What da ya' mean this is yer second time?!" screams Atsumu.
Suna hauls you to the nurse's office by the scruff. He lectures you the entire way in the same way one might speak to a far too rambunctious pet. You turn one of your smiles towards him and the tips of his ears go red.
Tumblr media
Suna is kissing you while holding your hand, and his second button is intertwined between your fingers. As you carefully run your tongue over his lower lip, Sakura blossoms have floated down to caress your hair. You run your fingers through his dark tresses. There are strong fingers that dig into your hips that promise more one day.
The confession had gone like this:
“Do you have a boyfriend?”
“No.”
“Do you want a boyfriend?”
“Yes.”
“Okay.”
[ Author's Note: On graduation day at junior high or high schools, a graduating male student would give their second button to someone they like. It's the one closest to their heart. ]

Shogakukan Comic's Interview with Tachibana Oreko Translated.
On January 1st of this year, about 10 months after the conclusion of "Promise Cinderella", the latest work "Firefly's Marriage" began serialization on the comic app "Manga One" and the web comic site "Ura Sunday" (every other week) (Updated on Mondays). This work, set in the Meiji era, depicts the contract marriage between Shinpei Goto, a hitman with a heavy heart for love, and Satoko Kirigaya, a daughter of a noble family, and has received a great response each time it has been updated.
 
To commemorate the release of the first volume of such a hot topic, we asked Ms. Tachibana about the story behind the creation of this work.
Q: ──Please tell us how you decided to go from your previous work, ``Promise Cinderella,'' to depict a hitman and a noblewoman who are in love, set in the Meiji era.
A: There was a time when I was really into the setting of a psychopathic assassin x princess in various content such as manga and movies, so I remembered that and decided to draw it. As for the historical background, I chose a period that felt as natural as possible when depicting the story of a killer and a princess. I had a hard time choosing which era to use, but I thought the Meiji period would be fun to draw as it was a mix of Japanese and Western styles.
Q: ── Shinpei's eyes are impressive in the last scene of the second episode, etc. Are you conscious of how you draw the character's eyes?
A: I drew Shinpei's eyes consciously. Because Shinpei's eyes are the only part that shows his expression. By the way, I like jet black eyes.

So my dm warned me that at some point my character will be separated from the group (read most likely kidnapped by a psychotic serial killer... he didn't say that, but I know how to read between the lines), so he wanted me to have a backup ready and leveled along with my main character. And because I am an over achiever (and practically don't know if our characters will all make it to that point...) I made three. 😆
So I thought I'd share them with my friends on here.
First up Ohtacáro Alcarin:
Tumblr media
Ohtacáro is a Winged Elf Windlord Avenger. He's not overly religious, but he fell in with the Raven Queen after a mutual enemy of theirs possessed him and murdered his family. He is now on a path of vengeance to wipe out said enemy's worshipers and destroy their temples. He was inspired by Hercules.
Next we have Niamh:
Tumblr media
Niamh is a Moon Elf Sidhe Lord Cleric. She is an elfin princess who fell in love with a mortal man. They were married and went to live with her people. However, her husband returned to his homeland for a visit and never returned. Refusing to believe that he's dead, she is now on a quest to find him. She is inspired by her mythological namesake.
And last we have Billy:
Tumblr media
Billy is a young (homebrew) earth elemental. He is an Earthforger Beast Master Ranger, whose companion is a bull. He ran away from home when his stepmother tried to kill his bull that his mother gave him, solely out of malice. Since then he and his bull have been fending for themselves in the wilds. He doesn't have any grand quest, he just wants to avoid his stepmother and live happily with his bull. He is inspired by Billy Beg and the Bull (it is a Cinderella archetype, I don't care if I'm the only one who believes it, and I will die on this hill).
Right now the party most needs a healer, but her backstory is a bit too similar to another character in the party for my tastes. Her personality is very different though, so that could lead to some interesting role play and character development if I chose her. I also hope to selfishly use dnd to give the character a happy ending.
Billy is the least likely to be used because we already have a Beast Master Ranger in the party. I just made him solely for the selfish reason that Billy Beg is one of my favorite fairy tales and I thought it would be a fun backstory to use. If he ever does get played, I highly doubt that the story would play out anything like the fairy tale.
Which of course means that Ohtacáro is the most likely to be used unless the party changes considerably, and I'm ok with that. I think he's going to be really fun in combat, since he can fly, and I'm going to take full advantage of that. I also think the Avenger class is really interesting, so I'm looking forward to that. Also his mission is kind of open ended, so it won't be unsatisfying when he leaves after my main character rejoins the party.
So there they are! Feel free to ask questions if you want, as it may help me further define them! 😁

Reading List (Latest Update Aug. 4, 2024)
The full list of books I'm interested in reading. Spoiler before you open the read-more: This list has 500+ entries so it's a tad long. The only reason it isn't numbered is because of tumblr's character limit on blocks of text, which this far exceeds. It is, instead, bulleted and separated into chunks of 50 after the cut.
I'm pretty much constantly adding things to all of my lists- hence why I'm amending when this was last updated to the title itself- and will update this post anytime I update the wheel I use to randomize my next choice, which usually happens after I've added or subtracted a significant number of options.
