(Yes, some days were skipped)

Previous Drawing || Next Drawing

Oh me oh my! The gang is going Christmas caroling!!! How jolly! And they're at sans' house.. oh no. Sans and Papyrus find the carolers right at their front door in the middle of singing that figgy-pudding verse.... Papyrus hears and starts to panic, "WE DON'T HAVE ANY FIGGY PUDDING SANS AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO LEAVE WITHOUT IT- " Sans calmly mentions that he has a large pile of 32,000 figgy-pudding cans sitting in the corner of the room waiting the next set of carolers. Before Papyrus could question, Sans opened the door and gave the 4 outside some puddings each. Berdly, " AH HAH! So this is figgy-pudding /smug face" Kris, " Do you have more " Susie, "HECK YEAH! PUDDING!"

Noelle, " why do you have so much figgy pudding...??? " Sans replies " idk, go figure "

Everyone immediately sighed leaving the spot where they were standing. And, while everyone was fleeing the premises, Papyrus just stood and stared at Sans. " ... " " what, it was funny. " " no, I don't get it..." "hmm, you'll figure it out eventually, heheheheheheh" " WAIT- I GET IT NOW RWAAWHHHHHHHHHH SANNNSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

desc. their favorite winter activities.

notes. i wanted to wait to post this when it was snowy outside for me but that never came because it never snows anymore sobbing !!!1!11!!1!

anyways this is like a modern-ish au... i guess??

snowball pelters. as soon as you step outside, you're getting a load of freshly balled up snow—the powder having been turned into an extremely dense sphere—straight to your face. if that's not enough, you'll get some down your back, too. oh, how they just love to see your face cringe out of frigidity, squeezing your eyes shut and mouth so eager to speak, yet being unable to get a single word out. they'll laugh with no shame and taunt you, so your only choice is to take a snow shovel and bury them. see how confident they are then, being completely submerged in the white powder. they'll curse you under their breath (lovingly) and follow you around all day, refusing to not torment you by tossing messily made snowballs at you.

snowman makers. they are the most adorable beings you'll ever see. so concentrated on getting the proportions of the snowmen right, even if they're not the best at it. they look at others' snowmen and get concerned that their own may be a little... unsteady. meaning, the head was too large for the body and was constantly falling over and destroying itself. with a frown, they'd be determined to get it back up on their own, (politely) refusing help. once they get the snowman to hold up long enough for them to go find some sticks, you'd fix it up for them. taking a little bit of snow off the top, adding it to the lower half, and reinforcing the bottom with some rocks covered in snow. once they come back with arms for the snowman, you innocently smile, sitting down in the snow as they eye you suspiciously, but smile and pat you on the head. do they know? ...you can't be sure.

hot chocolate drinkers. they cozily sit inside, watching their favorite re-runs as they sit on the couch. they watch the people freezing outside with a smug look, lazing around and doing absolutely nothing, wrapped in the largest blankets they could find. this is their... fourth? fifth cup of cocoa, and the bag of mini marshmallows they take from is quickly shrinking. honestly, they feel like a teddy bear with how warm they are. you've got no clue how they're not sweating and dying from the heat. their smirk makes you want to toss them out into the snow and watch them suffer, but they suffer enough when they accidentally spill burning hot cocoa on themselves.

lumine, LYNETTE, venti, kaveh, KIRARA, yoimiya, aether, ayato, MONA, xingqiu, lisa, yanfei

driveway shovelers. they are stuck outside all day, working on clearing the asphalt of snow. it's almost hopeless—the snow doesn't stop, so any of the driveway that gets cleared is covered again in only minutes (it's so tired...) and all that you're left with is someone who's extremely close to face-planting in the snow. honestly, they're probably hoping to get hypothermia—at least it'll put them out of their misery. but them, being the hard workers that they are, miraculously manage to finish shoveling, and join the hot chocolate drinkers after their time in hell, collapsing on the couch (and probably falling asleep).

DILUC, wriothseley, neuvillette, dehya, JEAN, keqing, CANDACE, zhongli, thoma, shinobu, noelle, mika

hill sledders. they'll bust through the door at the first speck of light, holding anything that they could safely use as a sled. honestly, they would sled on a shoveled pile of snow if there wasn't a hill, but they're determined to find a good place to sled. so, they'll drag you along, running around until you can spot some type of slope that'll get you faster than 1 inch per second. once you do, they're so excited they'd probably forget the sled on the way up. so, you're stranded at the top while they carefully slide back down to retrieve the sled. by the time they get back to the top, you're already unimpressed, but they manage to cheer you up. they sit you on the sled and push you down, hopping behind you and holding you tight. cause if they weren't, you probably would've been found sticking out of the nearby heaps of snow.

sleepers. exactly what is sounds like. they will be BURIED in bed all day. not even a fire alarm will be loud enough to wake them up—they are completely knocked out. honestly, they wouldn't even realize it. they were just so cold when they woke up in the morning, so they didn't even bother to leave. they instantly fall back asleep, so the only way to wake them up is leaving them until they thaw in the snow.

notes. ngl winter would be the best season if it wasn't so damn cold 🤗🤗 it's soooo pretty IF IT SNOWS

also listened to beabadoobee's cover of winter wonderland at least 30 times today so go do that please

and i have never gone sledding before actually so if it sounds like that "𝖘𝖖𝖚𝖊𝖊𝖟𝖊 𝖞𝖔𝖚𝖗 𝖑𝖊𝖌𝖘 𝖙𝖔 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖗𝖍𝖞𝖙𝖍𝖒 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖍𝖔𝖗𝖘𝖊" thing i'm so so so sorry

Dating Vance Hopper HCS (AU VER)

This is what it’s like dating Vance Hopper in my Ultim Hawkins AU (AKA an AU that’s just a whole bunch of AUs stuck together [plus OCs])

Warnings: None!<3

AN: Not proof read!! Was this an excuse to write about my AU? Oh yes absolutely. Will I regret it? NEVER. Don’t be afraid to send in a request! I don’t really have much to write so I can do more AU headcanons for like Robin or something

To start with, Vance has A-LOT of siblings.

Though he only grew up with his older sister and sadly had to watch as their younger sister passed, he now has two more sisters and three more brothers

If you decide to spend the day at his house expect ZERO privacy from Roxy barging in to ask for cash to Will gently knocking on the door asking to borrow some pencils for him and El

You two barely get a moment alone

I can also imagine one day Roxy invites you over for a family dinner and Vance is begging you not to go, but you go anyways cause you’re curious to see what’s it like when all his family is together

Btw his family consists of his father Jim Hopper and his step-mother Joyce Byers. His siblings are Leo, Valerie, Jonathan and Will Byers and Roxanne and Jane Hopper :) [Jane is adopted]

When you finally sit down it’s utter chaos

Will and El are gossiping about kids at their school and judging them

Roxy and Leo look like their about to get into a fist fight (Which Jim is betting 10 bucks Roxy’ll win)

And Joyce is talking to Valerie trying to figure out what Jonathan and Argyle’s relationship is

Needless to say you just end up eating and listening to the different conversations with your hand intertwined with Vance’s, hidden under the table

And if you’re lucky some other guests will be there! Like Murray and his daughter Noelle, Jonathan’s partners Argyle and Nancy, Will’s boyfriends Lucas and Mike, El’s girlfriend Max, Valerie’s friend Bonnie and Jim’s friend Dmitri

Luckily Joyce threatened to take Lonnie to court for mental and physical abuse towards the kids so she got enough cash to buy a big enough house for her seven children

I’d like to imagine that Jonathan brings you two places and will always remind Vance to stay safe and stay with you at all times due to the situation that happened when Vance was in Denver with his birth mom

Joyce is the best mom ever, she supports you two sm and absolutely adores you. Vance loves her more then his birth mother and it shows.

Roxy is also super cool and will dye your hair if you ask since she did her own

It’s 100% canon in this AU that Vance is a punk metal head. You can and will be forced to listen to that kind of music, but if he’s feeling nicer then usual then he’ll let you put on what you like.

Vance most likely struggles in some subjects so you’d offer to help him study, and when you get to his place and tell Joyce she just nods her head like “ya sure. Study.”

But she’s pleasantly surprised when she walks past Vance’s open door to see you and him sitting at his desk with you explaining different aspects that go into solving a two step equation for math

Before you and Vance started dating, Will and El would be with you in their living room watching some program and Vance leaves to go grab some drinks from the fridge when El turns to you and says

“You know Vance has been talking about you ALOT lately. I think he might like you.”

And as your face is turning red Will is interjecting “YOU MEAN THEY AREN’T DATING? Shit. I owe Max 10 bucks now.”

Once Vance gets back he’s confused as he sits down next to you who’s face us flushed scarlet and El who’s mouth is painted with a smug smile

Cat person. If you have a cat expect him to lay on your couch with the cat on his chest as he gently strokes its furr while talking to you

min needs glasses - butterfly soup one shot

"There’s no doubting it," Noelle stated matter-of-factly. “You need glasses.”

Min snarled back at her, deeply offended. "No, I fucking don't ." 

"Dude." said Akarsha, pushing a piece of paper across the lunch table, something written on it. Something nonspecific, that Min couldn't read definitely because Akarsha had shit handwriting and not because they couldn't tell what the pencil marks were supposed to be. Clearly, Akarsha was at fault.

"Can you read this?" she asked, her eyes narrowed, analyzing Min's reaction. Min themself scoffed.

"No!!- cause your handwriting is ass."

Akarsha and Noelle shared a look- Akarsha in particular having a bright, smug, I Told You So Grin.

"Noelle wrote it, actually.” Akarsha corrected. “And you know she’s a tryhard.”

“It’s not like her weird loopy cursive is any easier to read!”

“The Min I know would never pass off the opportunity to make fun of me for writing, in formal cursive,” Noelle cleared her throat. “ Boogers are a little more funny than pee pee, but less funnier than poo poo. End quote.”

Min snorted in amusement as Akarsha leaned over to say “I came up with that,” wildly grinning at the delicate, narrator-like way Noelle read the sentence. Noelle looked exasperated as Min and Akarsha high-fived under the table, as if she wasn’t right there.

“I’m beginning to think that this is more about making a fool of me than proving that visual aid would be useful to Min.”

“Nonono I would never do that!!”

“I doubt it.” The sound of Diya’s voice made Akarsha jump, because she swore that the girl just went to the bathroom. When did she get back?? Was she so stealthy?? What??

Min didn’t seem to notice Akarsha and Noelle’s surprise though, and turned to Diya like it was nothing.

“It would be so terrible,” Min told Diya desperately. “I refuse to be that nerdy Asian kid with glasses. Could you even imagine?? That’s Noelle’s thing, why doesn’t she get glasses?”

Noelle muttered something under her breath that implied there was some truth in that statement, causing Akarsha’s eyes to widen.

“But…” Diya frowned. “If you did have an eyesight problem… wouldn’t that affect how you play baseball?”

There was a helplessness in Min’s eyes as they looked at Diya like a kicked puppy, just utterly shocked and disappointed with how their eyebrows were pointed up. “No… NO…”

“No, no way I’m getting glasses. I’m just better I don’t need them I swear- and there’s also no way my parents care enough to buy me any, and I don’t care enough to ask them. And- ”

“If you talk to the school counselor or something and have the school approach your parents, there’s a chance they’ll be more open to the idea of getting your vision checked out,” Diya said lightly.

“You know you can get eye contacts too, if you don’t want glasses.” Akarsha pointed out, and Noelle nodded.

“Or you could wear sports glasses for when you play.”

Akarsha snickered. “Oh my god, those things look so goofy. I think Noelle’s right for once, Min.”

Min did not look pleased, their nose wrinkled. “This discussion is over.” 

Two weeks later, after refusing to wear the new pair of glasses they got, Min finally caved- now that their poor vision was acknowledged, it was more annoying to deal with. Thus, a generic looking pair of black glasses had found their way to Min’s face. Min saw Diya and Akarsha walking together, approaching the lockers, fully ready for Akarsha to clown on them.

“Eyyy!” Akarsha cheered as she walked over. “See!! Being visually impaired isn’t so bad!”

“Whatever. Even with glasses, I’m not as much of a dork as you .”

Diya smiled, taking her hat and placing it on Min’s head, the brim covering their eyes until Min pushed it up, looking at Diya with a grumpy expression.

“I think you look pretty fashionable,” she said.

“...Thanks.” Min mumbled, their face turning just a tint pink, eyes suddenly brightening when they remembered something.

“Oh!! So, apparently I’m farsighted or something? Which means I don’t think I have to wear these stupid things when I’m playing ball.”

“Aw man,” Akarsha sighed, shaking her head. “Was looking forward to watching you play in dorky glasses. It would’ve been great.”

“It’d also be great if I gouged your eyeballs so that even glasses couldn’t help you see.”

“ Min …”

“Right, right, sorry. Less violence. Yeah,” Min crossed their arms, looking up at Diya. Without her cap, the sun seemed to hit her wavy brown hair in a way that made it shine. Min enjoyed the way that hair always fell out of her ponytail, due to how Diya’s cut was just a bit too short to stay tied up normally. They tilted their head, peering at Diya’s golden-brown eyes. With their newly improved vision, things that were close were much clearer now.

“Hm. Only one thing I like about having glasses now, I guess.” Min said, and never elaborated no matter how many questions Akarsha asked.

Not A Rival

Summary Surprising her boyfriend at Headquarters seemed like a good idea, but little did Vanessa know that 1. three captains were going to find out she was dating Nozel Silva and 2. that they weren't the only secret couple...

A/N Wrote this two years ago, one of my first oneshots for Black Clover... So, it was way before the famous Lucius plot twist, which is why Julius makes an appearance here

Ao3 link

♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣

“Nozel, stop, it tickles.”

“I highly doubt that this is the reason why you always laugh when I kiss you there. And… may I doubt as well that you really want me to stop?”

Gosh, that sounded hot. Vanessa swooned a little. Well, more than a little. He was right, she didn’t want him to stop. Nozel just let a smug smile appear on his lips before he lied them back on her neck. She couldn’t help but to giggle again.

Well, it was true, it didn’t really tickle. Maybe a little, but that wasn’t the reason why Vanessa laughed. She was just happy. Happy to be in Nozels arms. Happy to see him again after three days. Just happy.

It wasn’t easy to be in a secret relationship with a royal. Even more with a Head of House, who happened to be also the captain of the Silver Eagles. Not to mention that a relationship between a prince and a witch wouldn’t be well received within royal and noble circles. That was one of the reasons why Nozel and Vanessa kept their relationship a secret for now.

One day, they will make it official and be out in the open. Face those rules and all those stupid things that were expected from royals. Vanessa might be a tiny bit sorry for all those nobles with daughters they would have loved to see engaged to the Head of House Silva. That she could understand, Nozel Silva was a catch. But at the same time, Vanessa wasn’t sorry at all. It would be arranged marriages, no place for love. Nozels heart was hers and her own was his. She refused to give that up.

But right now, Vanessa didn’t want to think about nobility and those stupid, complex circles full of bigotry. Nozel was far more important to her and his lips way more enjoyable. They made their way across her jaw before finding her lips. Nozel didn’t waste any moment, kissing her deeply. Vanessa put her arms around his neck, pulling herself closer to him. Heavens, she missed his kisses so much!

“You should relax more often, honey. It does you good”, she giggled as they parted.

Nozel simply tucked some of her pink curls behind her ear, a soft smile on his lips. Vanessa sighed happily. She could swoon for that smile. They were together for a few months now. Getting used to see those genuine expressions on his face, usually hidden behind his cold mask, had been surprisingly easy.

“It is very easy to relax, when you’re with me.”

They kissed again, much softer, but still passionate. Vanessa was decided to savour any moments, to not miss one single second.

Three days without seeing each other, that was long. Vanessa had been on a mission at the border to the Diamond Kingdom, but most of the time, Zora, Gordon and herself had been more preoccupied to stop Luck to destroy anything. And when they came back, she just had learned that not only there was a captains meeting, but that all nine of them plus the Wizard King had been called for a meeting with King Augustus, because… well, the reason was most certainly something stupid and forgettable.

This had frustrated Vanessa quiet a lot. She hadn’t seen Nozel for three days and even worse, she didn’t have the chance to really say goodbye.

But then, a chance appeared. Noelle wanted to go to the capital to meet up with her sister, so Vanessa jumped on the occasion to accompany her.

Noelles bond with Nozel had become better and stronger, her relationship with Nebra was also on the way for betterment. Noelle was taking one sibling at the time to mend those broken bonds. After some awkward meetings, the relationship between the Silva sisters became slowly better, today Noelle and Nebra were on good terms.

Vanessa left Noelle with her sister at some noble but nice café, pretexting to go shopping at the Black Market. Nebra had made a confused face and Noelle began to explain while her squadmate let them be. But of course, instead of going shopping, Vanessa went headfirst to the Magic Knight Headquarters, determined to finally see Nozel again.

She just came right when the first meeting was over and when the captains had a bit time before the second one with the King. Surprising her boyfriend of a captain right when he was alone in a hallway, Vanessa dragged him into an empty room, where they fully enjoyed their reunion.

“Don’t you have a meeting with the king coming soon?”, Vanessa asked innocently as they parted from another kiss.

“That’s not of importance”, Nozel answered quietly, before rubbing his nose against hers.

But just as they were about to kiss again, the door to the room opened suddenly.

“Wha-… Oh, my! Oh my!”

Nozel and Vanessa turned abruptly towards the intruder, who was none other than Dorothy Unsworth, captain of the Coral Peacocks, very much awake, for once.

The other witch looked very surprised, but had still the biggest smile on her face.

Vanessa saw Nozel turning beet red and she suspected to be a bit flushed herself. Until now, only the Wizard King and Nero knew about their relationship; as well as Gordon, but he learned it by accident. Which had been enough for now, both weren’t ready yet to go out of secrecy.

Although, with captain Dorothy here, their secret was at risk to be no longer one.

“Oh well, that is unexpected. But how cute are you two! I mean, I suspected you to have a lover, Nozel, but I’ll never would have thought this person is a fellow witch! Congratulations! Aww, did I mention that you’re both cute together?”

“Yes, you did.” Nozels voice was calm and he straightened himself, like a proper royal. But he was still blushing a lot and he didn’t let go of Vanessa.

“How… did you had suspicions?”, the Black Bull witch asked. She didn’t know what else to ask.

“Oh, it’s subtle, but I had the feeling that Nozel was more relaxed those last few months. Happier too, he smiled more when he thought no one was looking. Besides, he took much more free time, which says a lot. Did you two knew that it is a mystery my squad wonders about right now? Why would captain Nozel Silva of the Silver Eagles take more free time? There’s a few bets concerning this and it seems that I won mine.”

Dorothy babbled, chipper as always. Vanessa was blushing again, though she couldn’t help but smirk a little. The thought that some Magic Knights had running bets about Nozel being in a relationship or not was a funny thought.

Her boyfriend, on the other hand, didn’t seemed very pleased. “Dorothy, I would be most grateful if you would keep to yourself what you saw.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll wait until it becomes official, I’m patient. And you know me, Nozel, my lips are sealed. You at least asked me.”

“What do you mean?”

“Oh, you’re actually the second secret couple I discover today. That’s way I came here in the first place, to take cover.”

But before Nozel could ask what she meant, there was a voice thundering through the hallway, “COME BACK HERE, MISS POINTY HAT, WE’RE NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!”

One moment later, a very angry Yami crashed in. Vanessa flinched. That wasn’t good. Her captain was surely one of the last persons she wanted to find out about her relationship with Nozel. Looking at the silver haired man, she just knew that he was thinking the same. She sighed. Hopefully it won’t be too difficult to continue to meet.

But then, captain Charlotte appeared just after Yami. Holding his hand.

Oh… Oh. Oh!

In that case, it maybe won’t be too difficult to continue to meet. She just needed to don’t screw this up.

“Listen well, Sleepy Hat. If you ever dared to tell anyone one single word about what you saw, I’ll personally-“

“Yami, please, you can ask her nicer.”

“Rule number 1, Prickly Princess, NEVER take any risks! I don’t want my entire squad coming after you. Or your fangirl getting overly upset every time she sees me.”

“We’re not there yet. None of our squads knows.”

“I know my brats, there’s only a matter of time until one of them finds out. And besides your fangirl, all your girlies might discover it soon as well.”

Dorothy just interrupted them with a cherry giggle, “One of your squad already knows, Yami dear and it has nothing to do with me. At least directly.”

“Dorothy!”

Nozels warning came a tiny bit late. Both Yami and Charlotte realized that Dorothy wasn’t alone. Slowly, they turned to the other couple in the room.

It was a bit an intense yet awkward silence. Vanessa didn’t know if she felt excited or embarrassed. Maybe a mix of both.

While Dorothy smiled like she had the time of her life, both couples just looked at each other, slowly trying to understand what was happening.

Silence.

Dorothy giggled.

More silence.

“What the fuck!”

That was exactly what Vanessa was thinking. Nozel and Charlotte probably had the same thought as well. But none of them would have said it out loud like Yami did.

“Hello there, captain Yami. Captain Charlotte, nice to see you.”

She had a joyous voice, but Vanessa knew that her cheeks were still burning. Hopefully, the other two wouldn’t notice it. After all, they were also flustered.

“Um… nice to see you… too… um, Vanessa, wasn’t it?”, Charlotte stuttered. She looked like she didn’t quietly understand.

“What the hell are you doing with a member of my squad, Bird Braid?”

Nozel straightened himself again. Despite the blush and the fact that he was still holding Vanessa, he looked very royal.

“Probably the same that you did with your own… girlfriend, Yami.”

“Girlfriend?”

Both Yami and Charlotte looked like their minds went blank. Which was quite a sight to see, but Vanessa was still a bit too flustered to laugh. Not like Dorothy, who couldn’t stop giggle right now.

Vanessa looked up to Nozel, a happy smile on her lips. “So… does that mean that I’m your girlfriend?”

“What else should you be?”

The captain of the Silver Eagles was still blushing, but when he looked at her, he was softly smiling. Vanessa couldn’t help but put a kiss on his lips.

She heard Charlotte gasping and Dorothy letting out something that sounded like an aww.

“For fuck’s sakes!”

The couple parted as Yami yelled.

“What is even going on? Braids is smiling and you hug him, kiss him? Did I miss the end of the world or what?”

“If it were the apocalypse, we wouldn’t be here, Yami.”

“Shut up, Birdie, I wasn’t talking to you!”

Nozel sighed, tightening his hold on Vanessa. Holding her helped him a lot to calm down.

“So… you’re together?”, Charlotte asked, a bit pale and probably still processing what was going on.

“Oh, come on Lottie, no need to ask, it looks pretty obvious, don’t you think? I mean, look how they still hold each other, even after getting caught.”

“Lottie?”

Yami forgot shortly Nozel and Vanessa to look at Dorothy, apparently stunned that she had such common nickname for his girlfriend. But Charlotte didn’t react to Lottie, she simply continued to stare at the two love eagles, who were indeed still holding each other tightly.

“Since a few months.”

“Months?”

Yami stopped to look at Dorothy to glare back at Nozel and Vanessa. Well, mostly at Nozel.

“And how long have you two been together?”, Vanessa asked, before either Yami or Nozel would say something insulting.

“Well… a few… weeks. Not as long as… you both”, Charlotte answered, with a very stuttering voice. Vanessa frowned a bit. Why was the captain of the Blue Roses this shocked?

“Oh, in that case… congratulations, captain Charlotte.”

“For you… as well, Vanessa…”

“Oh, for fucks sakes, to hell with the congratulations!”

“Language, Yami dear.”

Captain Dorothy seemed really to have too much fun right now.

“Vanessa, really? Hanging out with Braids for months? Come on, you have better taste than a wall of bricks!”

“Excuse me?”

Nozel was about to retort something, but Vanessa was faster.

“Captain, who I’m dating is my business, not yours. And Nozel is anything but a wall of bricks. Trust me, I already get countless proofs that he’s not made of stones, given how many times we-“

“Vanessa!”

Nozel put a hand on her mouth, while blushing even harder than before. But it was too late. Dorothy, Charlotte and Yami perfectly understood what she was going to say.

Charlotte blushed furiously, Dorothy giggled again and Yami looked like his mind went blank, surprisingly.

“Wait, Bird Braid. Does that mean that you’re not prude?”

Silence.

The two witches burst into laughter. Well, Dorothy already had a lot of laughs in the last few minutes, but this time Vanessa couldn’t help it, despite how flustered she still was. She didn’t even know if it was funny and why, she just laughed.

The other three captains didn’t laugh, though. Nozel simply sighed, resigned, flustered and still holding his girlfriend of a witch. He softly caressed her rosewood curls and seeing Vanessa this happy helped him to calm down a bit.

“Vanessa, would you please don’t speak about… this in front… of others? This is very… private.”

“Sorry, honey. I just don’t like that he insulted you, so I got heated a bit.”

“Not only is Bird Braid not prude, but he said please?”

Dorothy burst into laughter again. She really seemed to have the greatest time ever. All she needed at this point was popcorn and to sit down.

Just in this moment, the door opened again and Julius came in, visibly content. “Ah, there you are. Good news, I managed to persuade Augustus that the second meeting wouldn’t… Oops, did I interrupt something?”

“No, nothing at all, Wizard King. I just discovered that three of my captain colleagues are in a happy relationship and one of them even with a fellow magic knight witch.”

Dorothy couldn’t help it, it seems. She was lucky that the Wizard King knew about her and Nozel, but what if it had been someone who didn’t know? Vanessa knew that her boyfriend wasn’t eager to tell any of the captains for various reasons, especially Fuegoleon. But he had admitted that if one captain would not so much of a problem, it would be Kaiser. For Nozel to came to such a conclusion and to admit it, was already big.

Vanessa looked at Yami and Charlotte. They weren’t really disturbed by the present of the Wizard King, it seems. That might would mean, that Julius knew about their relationship as well.

Where there other captains in secret relationships he would know about?

“Vanessa, nice to see you. You’re really lucky, the second meeting won’t happen, so Nozel can take you directly on a date. Which is really less, less boring than the meetings, even for him, I’m sure.”

“Wait, Julius, you knew that Braids was dating one of my brats?”

“Yes.”

“So why didn’t you tell me?”

“They wanted to keep it secret, just like you and Charlotte.”

The Wizard King answered with a very happy smile, so that even Yami couldn’t bring himself to retort something. So, he decided to glare at Nozel again.

“Okay, but listen, Birdie, if you-“

“I know!”, Nozel replied, interrupting the captain of the Black Bulls. “If I hurt Vanessa, you are going to hurt me, no need to tell me. But it is not in my attention to hurt her. Besides, she can defend herself. She’s a very capable Magic Knight, after all.”

“Thanks, honey,” Vanessa chirped, kissing his cheek. Nozel blushed again, but he couldn’t repress that a small smile appeared on his lips.

“I can’t even threat you properly, Braids? No fair!”

Dorothy laughed again, clearly having a very fun time. This time, she was joined by Julius.

The couples, on the other hand, were still looking awkwardly at each other. That is, until the captain of the Blue Roses seemed to get a hold on herself.

“There is something I need to clarify. Vanessa, since you and Nozel are… well, in a relationship, that would mean… um, that you’re… not a rival, right?”

What was Charlotte talking ab- Oh!

Their contest at this Star Festival when the Black Bulls came in second. Back then when she and Nozel weren’t together yet, not even really acquaintances. When her crush was still lingering and given how she challenged the captain of the Blue Roses back then while she was already a bit drunk, Charlotte must have come to this conclusion.

Vanessa looked at Nozel and from his glance, she knew he understood as well what Charlotte meant. Of course he knew, she had told him about this crush on Yami. He had been a bit jealous, but he made big efforts to fight against it. After all, that crush was the past and Vanessa had countless occasion to prove him she was now his. And her feelings for Nozel weren’t a crush.

“Rival? What kind of rival?”

Of course Yami would ask. He had been oblivious to her crush on him and for someone who was able to read Ki, he had been wrong for long about Charlottes true feelings towards him. Even today, the captain of the Black Bulls seems to have no idea what his girlfriend was talking about.

On the contrary of Dorothy and Julius, who had known basically nothing about this, but still seemed to have put the dots together. The captain of the Coral Peacocks was still smiling cheerily, but now with a knowing glance. The Wizard was still smiling as well, but there was some worry in his eyes and he seemed ready to step in if something might happen.

Alright, time to put this non-existent rivalry back where it belongs.

“No worries, captain Charlotte. I’m not a rival and given the circumstances, I might never had been one. I found my luck somewhere else and I couldn’t be happier.”

Relief washed over Charlotte and for the first time since she entered this room, she smiled.

“That’s good to hear. I mean, um, well… I’m happy to hear it. And sorry that I think… that you were… well, my rival. Well, what I mean-“

“I think I get it and there’s really no need to apologize.”

“But when I believed it, I thought kinda badly about you and I was afraid that you would take… well, I’m sorry to have believed it.”

“Well, sweetie, you won and I’m really happy for you. Although I don’t consider myself as a loser, on the contrary”, Vanessa smirked while looking at Nozel with a wink. He smiled again softly, but not without getting flustered.

“Wait, Prickly Princess, what kind of rivalry did you had with Vanessa? Who’s the better knight or what?”

“Yami, for someone who reads Ki, this could sound rather stupid coming from you”, Charlotte sighed, slightly blushing and now holding his arm. Dorothy and Julius burst into laughter again.

Vanessa felt Nozels arms tighten around her. Oh, he must still feel a bit jealous, maybe. She grinned, leaning into him. She wasn’t mad, he made such efforts to come over it, even though it was in a Silva way. And even better, it would give her one more reason for staying at his place this night and prove him again that she was now his, only his. Something she loved to do.

“Don’t worry, honey. Even if he finds out today or another day, it will be not such a drama. I’m sure of it. Consider it something that you know and he ignores.” This made Nozel smile softly. “And I’ll show this night that I’m yours only.”

“Your place or mine?”

“Yours, we’ll clearly need some privacy after this.”

“Good, but let me take you out on a date first.”

“I’d love that, honey.”

“Oh, sweet love eagles, what are you whispering over there?”, Dorothy called out, causing Yami, Charlotte and a very grinning Julius to turn back at them.

“Just sweet nothings, captain Dorothy,” Vanessa chirped, leaning more into Nozel.

“Ugh, gross- Ouch! What was that slap for, Prickly Princess!”

“You never find it gross when I say sweet nothings to you, so stop being so contradictory!”

“I’m not contradictory, since it comes from Braids, after all. It doesn’t suit him!”

“It doesn’t suit you as well on the first glance, but you’re still doing it when we’re alone, my dear Dark Knight.” Somehow, captain Charlotte managed to sound angry and flirtatious at the same time.

The captain of the Blue Roses seemed more confident now. Was it because of the relief that after all, she didn’t have a rival to Yami’s heart? Vanessa couldn’t help but smile. She was really happy for them.

And she had something to use in case Yami would made some difficulties about her dating someone he respectfully didn’t like. After all, Vanessa loved Nozel, she wanted to be with him and she won’t let anyone take this away from her, not even her squad.

“So… who knows about those juicy little secrets? Besides me and Julius dear, of course,” Dorothy asked, with the biggest grin on her face.

“Well, Goldie Guts knows. He might have even known before Charlotte and I did. And that fat, winged Blue Rose there. Molly Something, I don’t know.”

“Yami, please, don’t call her fat! And her name is Puli, not Molly. Puli Angel! And don’t you dare whatever me, she was a great help for our relationship and still is.”

“Yeah, whatever.”

Vanessa, Dorothy and Julius burst into laughter again at the couples bickering. Even Nozel was smiling a bit.

“In our case, it’s Nero. I don’t know how she find it out, though. And Gordon, he stumbled on us by accident, when Nozel visited me at the Hideout.”

Vanessa still had no idea how Nero found out, but she was glad that this dear, silent girl did. Nero’s own story with the first Wizard King was heart breaking. Even more that the black-haired girl wanted to help Vanessa with her own prince. Her words. Vanessa has been very touched by Nero’s story, so that she offered her to be there whenever she needed to talk about her lost love.

As for Gordon, it had been an accident. He basically caught them in a heavy making out session while they were in one of the rare, not so crowded places of the Hideout. But it didn’t cause any problems. Vanessa couldn’t imagine if it had been Gauche, Magna or especially Noelle. Gordon at least was a silent guy, even genuinely happy for them. After giving them his congratulations, he had promised to keep the secret and left them alone. The next day, Vanessa got a glimpse of a new doll in Gordons collection.

“Don’t tell me you invited Braids to our Hideout?”

“Alright, I won’t tell you.”

Dorothy giggled.

“Did you never invite Charlotte at your place?” Nozel asked, as calm as possible. He was probably trying hard to not start a stupid fight. He was really trying so much and Vanessa was ready to generously reward him tonight, as thanks.

“Sometimes, but… well, it needs acrobatic measures to have some privacy back there.” Yami looked like he was himself trying to not start a fight. The fact that Charlotte was holding his arm tightly might helped.

“I have to agree on that.”

“Hey, don’t you dare insult my Hideout, Braids!”

“I swear, I didn’t mean it as an insult.”

“Leave my boyfriend alone, captain!”, Vanessa pouted. “He was just stating a fact and I agree on it as well!”

“Me too, actually,” Charlotte added and that made Yami close his mouth.

“How amazing! Nozel, Yami, what a treat to see you agree on something!” Julius exclaimed, clapping his hands.

Nozel and Yami just looked at each other, not sure how to react about that statement. Vanessa sighed, those two might never change in their opinion about each other. At least, they respected one another and that was a lot already.

Charlotte looked at Vanessa, who looked back. There was some resigned acceptance and understanding in their eyes, probably due to their respective partners. But also a new affection. Maybe now that this non-existent rivalry question was out of the room, maybe they could become friends. Vanessa would be happy about it.

“So, um… We agree to not tell anyone about our little secrets? At least, until we’re ready,” Charlotte suggested.

“Yes. I love my squad, but I’m not ready for them to learn about my relationship with Nozel yet,” Vanessa giggled. Oh yes, she definitely wasn’t ready for that. Well, Nozel and Vanessa were talking lately about to finally tell Noelle about it – a topic that Nero and Gordon were coming up as well from time to time – but they were still postponing. Noelle was surely going to have a shock learning this and well, she might overreact a bit like the Silva she was.

“Yep, you can count on me, cuties! I won’t say anything!” Dorothy added, making a peace sign. She was having so much fun, obviously.

Nozel only added in agreement. Yami said nothing, glaring at the captain of the Silver Eagles, but at the end, he nodded as well.

“Okay, I won’t say anything. But I’m not over with you two!”

Vanessa sighed. Like every Bull, she appreciated that Yami was protective of his squad. But sometimes, like now, she was maybe slightly irritated by it.

“Captain, please worry about your own captain. And just in case, leave Nero and Gordon out of it.”

Yami gagged a little. Either he didn’t even think about Nero and Gordon or he might had thought about scolding them as well. One day.

Nozel sighed, before he straightened and turned to the Wizard King. “Since the meeting with Augustus is luckily cancelled, Vanessa and I will take our leave. Have a nice evening.”

He took delicately her arm and lead her out of the room, like she was a real princess. Vanessa smiled happily. Nobody else treated her that way and she came to enjoy it a lot since she started dating Nozel.

They were out of the room, when Vanessa turned one last time. “Oh, captain, just so you know, I might not coming home this night, so don’t wait for me. Good night, everyone!”

“Bye, love eagles, have a good night!”

This undertone in Dorothy’s voice. She was really having too much fun. Vanessa was ready to bet that was going to tease Nozel, Yami and Charlotte endlessly during the future captain meetings.

Charlotte and Julius waved, the first with a small smile, the second happily grinning. As for Yami, he shot Nozel a warning glare, before sighing and giving them a nod. The door closed and they both were now alone in the hallway.

“Can I borrow one of your pigeons, please? To warn Nero and Gordon, just in case.”

“Of course.”

Oh, what a sweetheart. Vanessa really considered herself lucky with that boyfriend. She might have won the lottery. As thanks, she went on her tiptoes and kissed Nozels cheek quickly.

The silver haired man blushed a bit, but a small smile appeared on his lips. Yes. Charlotte has Yami while Vanessa has Nozel and tonight, she’ll will show him how happy she was to be with him.

[the-white-soul]

*Flowey doesn't seem surprised at all as he enters into the conversation, overhearing the last bits. Instead, he has this most smug look on his face.*

Kinda funny how I caught on first that she's not the best monster when I've just been introduced and you've known Dess for years. Not saying I told you so but....

*He glances at Dess for a moment with a distasteful expression.* Choose your friends better, Kara. You never know what will happen. And frankly, it's better not to get attached to many people after what happened with Noelle... Things hurt less that way. Betrayal OR death.

Why don't we go now? There's still troublemakers you can unleash your wrath on like Clover and Merg. Maybe Dess deserves some mercy if you think so.

(Dess)"Oh, so you are a great friend. Good for you, Kara. Knowing you, I would've thought you would be friends with no one but tyrannical rulers or vile scums of the earth. Very unlike you."

Kara laughs in a way they used to laugh as kids. They would snort all the time, which was annoying for anyone except them.

(Kara)"Ah, how could I stay mad at you, even when you indirectly killed millions? The truth is, I don't have much more reason to hate you than I thought I did. You seem to have a good reason for leaving, and even if it was immoral to some, you did achieve your purpose. Plus, you didn't know about the roaring, right?"

(Dess)"Of course not. Why would I ever put you in that much danger? That's stupid. I thought you'd protect her."

(Kara)"You trusted me that much?"

(Dess)"Of course, I did. You're the strongest person I know. I also wanted some alone time between Noelle and Susie. I wanted them to become in love."

(Kara) "I'm not going to forgive you."

(Dess) "And I don't expect you to. I just wanted you to know I did everything because I love Noelle. She seemed helpless. Helpless for Susie, for movies, anything scary. I just wanted her to have friends. I don't cry that much. I never did, but believe me, inside right now, I feel dissociated."

[applesaucesomething]

They were all originally going to be facing forwards…but thats hard as hell so take this instead

Desicription under the cut:

A digital drawing of Noelle, Kris, Susie and Berdly standing next to each other as a reference sheet.

Noelle has curly blond hair with the front two sections on each side tied with a bobbled hairband. She is wearing a collared (supposed to be lace but I can’t draw that) shirt with a green and red Checkered sweater vest. She has one arm outstretched to the side and the other to her side she has hooves for hands. She is wearing a black pleated skirt. Noelle’s fur is lightening and thickening in patches for the winter. Her antlers are still present. She has a red nose and is also smiling happily.

Kris is standing next to Noelle they have shoulder length brown hair covering their eyes with the front parts changed to a blue colour because of the dark world. They are wearing a brown collared shirt with a baggy striped green and yellow jumper, their shirt is poking out from the bottom of their jumper. They have a chain on their right side. They are wearing baggy brown jeans and trainers. On their jumper they have four pins these include a non binary pin, aroace spec pin and a bisexual pin.

Next to kris is Susie she is a lot taller than the rest of the group and is facing the side smiling with one hand on her him and the other to her side. She has long dark brown hair that goes across parts of her face with the front two parts being purple from the dark world. She has yellow eyes, claws and sharp yellowing teeth. Her scales are darker across her skin except for her neck and palms of her hand where the scales are lighter and change shape slightly. She is wearing a light blue and white striped T-shirt with a long jacket overtop that she has rolled the sleeves up to. She has on jeans that are ripped at the knees with the legs rolled up and black boots underneath.

Next to Susie is Berdly he is also facing to the side with a smug expression and both wings on his hips. He is wearing oval glasses that are kept on with sellotape. On his forehead you can see smaller feathers that have fluffed upwards. He is wearing a black T-shirt with a white flannel shirt overtop. His tail is seen behind him.

[w4yf1nder]

a special shit post for a special (almost) day. happy albedo day everyone! (ignore the fact that it's not the 13th yet)

"no." fear, regret...those are two emotions that come to mind instantly. albedo isn't very good with feelings, yet he's able to recognize them immediately.

he has been cornered, there's nowhere to run now...

"get ready, birthday boy." he hears briefly. who was that? lisa? he isn't quite sure anymore, because his eyes meet yours as you stand next to kaeya with a smug expression drawn all over your face.

"oh, you're so going to regret this."

is the last thing he can say before he gets caked by kaeya.

"what a waste of perfectly good food!' he hears noelle shriek from somewhere in the distance as he melts into a puddle of his own embarrassment.

Moonfire Mayham

"Why the fuck are there hatchings in the liberty leave briefing?" Philippe mock-demanded, fixing a scowl on his face.

"Hatchlings are here because they're getting to go to Moonfire for the first week." Lysette, the newest 2IC for the House Dzemel dragoons responded. She lifted a booted foot off a chair as Reinhardt moved into the cluster.

"I see babysitting duty's on the menu for the first week." He commented, dropping down onto the chair. "Sucks to be you..."

"Whatddya mean 'sucks to be you'?" Came the retort from Stella, a House Fortemps dragoon. She glared at Reinhardt--or rather she and Noelle--her inner dragon--did. Reinhardt felt Paien shimmer into reality around his neck, his other half smirking.

"I'm not going to be in this mess. Have fun running herd this week." A shit-eating grin spread across Reinhardt's face as his seatmates exploded in curses.

"Listen it's not on me that you didn't put in for your time when your captains asked for it back then."

"You fuck!" Stella snapped, kicking the back of Reinhardt's chair as the auburn-haired dragoon cackled. Noelle was hiss-spitting at Paien, who just looked very smug.

"I wonder if we can fight to claim his vacation time." Philippe wondered aloud.

"I have zero qualms throwing your ass off off the Cathedral." Reinhardt reached into his pocket for his tomestone. "And I don't want to see any of you fucks loitering by us in Costa. Go find your own food!" Of course he was expecting the unit to ignore this and show up, it was practically tradition at this point.

"We should probably--"

"Attention!!" Came a shout. Every single dragoon stopped what they were doing, bolting to their feet. All eyes fixed on the front of the room, where Brucemont had just gotten on top of a small platform. Behind him, Helgrim cleared his throat.

"At ease!" He called. As one, the dragoons sat down. At a nod from Brucemont, Helgrim continued.

"This is the safety brief for those who drew the short straw for this half of the Moonfire Faire! If your ass is scheduled for liberty for the second week, then why the fuck are you in here!? If we find out you're scheduled for second week guess what you're gonna be doing for the full fuckin fortnight?! Check your leave papers now!"

"Always a dumbass that forgets." Lysette muttered, the group nodding in agreement.

"First Lance has the floor!"

"Here we go!" Stella stage-whispered, starting to giggle. Philippe was starting to snort, Lysette was biting back laughter, and Reinhardt was covering his mouth. Titters could be heard from various other locations. On the platform, Brucemont sighed. He fully anticipated a body count on the first day. The Admiral was probably already laying bets and placing ringers.

Ah well.

"Do not add to the population!" He bellowed. "Do not subtract from the population! Do not end up in these three locations; jail, the newspapers, or the infirmary! If you end up in the first, establish dominance quickly! If you end up in the second, you will be praying to the Fury for death by the time I'm done with you! If you end up in the third, you're going to wish that you had stayed there by the time I'm done with you! Pay your fucking bar tabs! Hydrate! That is all."

Delta Hall

so recently i used ai to generate an episode of Delta Hall Internet Show which the tally hall members are replaced with deltarune characters

(Kris - Rob, Susie - Joe, Noelle - Ross, Berdly - Zubin, Ralsei - Andrew, Lancer - Bora)

The ai made an entire script lmao

Susie: Hey Kris, what's going on?

Kris: Nothing much, just sitting here drinking a diet Dr Pepper and writing my song. What about you?

Susie: Just practicing my singing while I play drums. You think I sound any good?

Kris: laughs Oh man, the way you sing, it sounds terrible!

Susie: laughs Oh yeah?! Just wait until you hear my beatboxing skills, that's gonna make your ears bleed!

[after Susie said that the two begin beatboxing and singing. It's an absolute disaster but they seem to be having fun]

[the clip then cuts to the intro of the Delta Hall Internet Show]

[The scene starts with Kris and Susie playing the accordion and drums respectively. They look really awkward playing them but they're clearly having fun. The music begins playing.]

Susie: (singing) Do you like how we walk! Do you like how we talk! Do you like how our faces disintegra- 

[Berdly abruptly interrupts her.]

Berdly: Hey what's up guys.

Ralsei enters the shot

Ralsei: Hello Berdly.

Susie: Hey.

Berdly: Did you guys know that bananas are a good source of potassium?

[Everyone just stares at Berdly.]

Everyone: No, we didn't know that.

[Awkward silence for a couple of seconds]

Berdly: I'm just gonna go now.

[Berdly left the shot and Kris and Susie go back to the singing/accordion and drums combination but they aren't able to sync up.]

[It then cuts to a clip of Ralsei neatly making a bed, which got ruined by Susie jumping/sliding onto the bed]

[The next scene involves Susie and Berdly attempting to cook a cake. As expected, nothing goes correctly. There is a montage of them making the cake and each section is them making a mistake that ruins the cake.]

Berdly: What's that one cooking tip again?

Susie: No, I think you're doing that wrong. Let me try.

Berdly: Fine.

[Susie's cooking also goes horribly]

[After a while the cake is completely ruined and they are now depressed.]

[It then cuts to a screen saying FIFTEEN SECONDS OF LANCER while several images of Lancer are scattered around the scene]

[Cut to a compilation of clips of Lancer doing funny shenanigans. He's eating cheese, playing with fire, and being a little gremlin.]

Everyone: Yeahh!

[The clip then cuts back to the Fifteen seconds of Lancer]

[Cut to Berdly talking in front of a green screen in front of him. He is talking about video game topics and is being really passionate about it. He talks about stuff like boss fights, game design, and game mechanics. He's even using some hand motions for dramatic effect.]

Everyone: Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

[They're really impressed about the whole presentation and start cheering.]

Jevil: Hello everybody, it is I Jevil! I am here to interrupt Berdly!

[Jevil leaps out of nowhere and starts laughing maniacally.]

Everyone: Jevil!?!

[Jevil looks smug and proud that he was able to interrupt Berdly's presentation.]

Jevil: Did you think you could escape me by using a green screen presentation!? The most devious method of showing a video is no match for my pure chaos!

[Jevil laughs yet again.]

[The clip then cuts to narration]

“Everyone knows that top cakes are a useful item. But, did you know that top cakes are also good for blowing up?????”

[The scene cuts back to Berdly's presentation after Jevil's interruption.]

[Berdly is standing in front of the green screen. He looks visibly annoyed that Jevil interrupted his speech. He has been interrupted yet again by Jevil and now he's just fed up. He doesn't care that the screen is still green anymore and just wants to finish his speech.]

Berdly: Listen, I'm gonna finish this presentation regardless of what Jevil is doing.

[Berdly continues his speech as if nothing even happened even though Jevil continuously tries to interrupt him.]

[Berdly then burst into song, playing the Tally Hall song Greener while the other members of the band jumped out from the audience onto the stage and played the song together.]

[The background is the same green screen of the presentation. The song plays as everyone performs their instruments and dances with them. Susie is playing drums, Ralsei is playing accordion, Kris is playing bass, and Berdly is playing guitar. Lancer shows up unexpectedly and starts playing harmonica. At the end of the song, everyone bows for applause.]

THE END

✧ closed starter for @motelcafe | based on x.

Perhaps she should’ve acted offended or even betrayed. Certainly that would be expected from someone who found out their best friend had been sleeping with her personal fuck-buddy behind her back. But Noelle just felt smug, as if it was a show of fanaticism. “Why don’t you admit it?” She questioned with a tight-lipped smile on her face. “You only had sex with her so you could imagine being me.”

[noelleai]

Two Opposites Attract

Noelle and Berdly stood in the hallways of the school, glaring at each other. They had been at odds since the first day of school, and their mutual dislike for each other only grew with each passing day.

"You're such a smug little brat, Berdly," Noelle sneered. "Always thinking you're better than everyone else."

Berdly raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips. "At least I don't hide behind my grades like you do, Noelle," he retorted.

Noelle's face turned red with anger. "What's that supposed to mean?" she demanded.

"It means that you're just a goody two-shoes who's too afraid to step out of your comfort zone," Berdly said haughtily. "You're just a boring, average student."

Noelle was about to retort when the bell rang, signaling the start of the next period. They both turned and walked in opposite directions, each fuming with anger.

As the days went by, their interactions became more and more hostile. They would argue and bicker at every opportunity, never missing a chance to one-up the other. It seemed as though their hatred for each other would never end.

However, one day, they found themselves working together on a group project for their history class. As they worked, they slowly began to understand each other's perspectives and realized that they had more in common than they thought. They began to see each other in a new light, and their animosity slowly started to dissipate.

By the end of the project, they were no longer enemies, but rather, they were friends. They both laughed at their past interactions, amazed at how much they had changed.

"You know, Berdly, I never realized how much we have in common," Noelle said, smiling.

Berdly grinned back. "Me neither, Noelle. I guess we're not so different after all."

[luxmaeastra]

The new Empress had called for a Trial, for a tournament. Cassandra could handle the sneers. She could handle being away from Saetan - keeping perfectly neutral till they were alone.

Sixty seconds to kiss, to hold each other. His words burned in her head.

"Do not take the fall for it. I followed you willingly, I helped you. I walked with you every step of the way. I can handle whatever they throw at us. I cannot handle not by my side in any life or death I have."

She'd agreed, of course, she had. How could she not when he still looked at her as if she was Allmother herself?

She could handle her power ripped away. Watching as her sister-in-law was allowed to drag the dagger down her arm. A blood offering on an alabaster altar. A one for crimes and punishments.

She could handle watching it happen for Saetan first. Arktos taunts and sneers all the while as he dragged the athame down his arm. All she saw was his face millennia earlier horrified as he cradled his broken brother's body. Oristes failed rebellion in tatters, his family scatters limbs around him.

Saetan was being chipper when the rings came down. They were trapped in a pit their kin watching on. They had nothing now - no Jewels, no Sight. They had clear Jewels now.

She couldn't handle his calm. His optimism as he spoke of exits and guards. As he patiently explained how these worked as if she'd grown up being a spectator. He'd been a participant - he knew how to survive.

He shouldn't need to, shouldn't have to go back to this nightmare. She'd seen his nightmares, held him when he sobbed and screamed. Unbidden their first words to each other came back to her.

"What do you fear most in the world?"

He'd looked at her all smug male virility slipping away as he thought of her question. He'd cupped her cheek then as if it was second nature. As if they'd spent the batter part of days exploring their bodies.

"Being powerless."

She gripped the little stelleto dagger in hand. The one Deidamia had slipped her maybe to mock her. Maybe at Scamandros urging or pity. She called to Saetan and she almost paused as he turned to look at her. The gates were opening she could smell the Changelings - starving, mutated by this new Empress. She'd been so excited to test them with live prey.

Saetan didn't look to them, just to her in love. Even now he was so happy to be with her, to be united with her. To die with her.

She swiped the dagger along his neck and plunged it into his heart. She went down with him, cradling his face as they lay in the sand.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I - I promised I'd never let you feel powerless. I can't - I refuse to let you be here again. I refuse to let you face this again not for me. I am not worth it."

--------

Irabel had begun to get the hang of all of this. It helped that she and Sarek kept to their routines as much as they could.

She'd always enjoyed the gladiatorial pits. She sat in a much better seat, Sarek by her side. Their children happily playing at their feet. Till she saw it. She heard silence before so much noise, so many voices. She paled and turned away nauseous. It was one thing to do what she did. But to kill her mate? Did this female know no moral code?

She could barely think beyond the revulsion of it. She looked to their children grabbing them as she slowly calmed down. She looked to Sarek gripping his hand.

"Do - do you think he is alive? Should we get healers for him?"

--------

Arkots couldn't think beyond the rage in him. He was pacing, simmering with rage.

"This is how he dies Carynth? This?! A quick death after what Oristes suffered? How dare he! How dare he be given such a slow and merciful —"

//Sasha and Annie and Rig are there but they're lurking as are Sebastien and Natalia and Tharion and Noelle. For ANYONE!!!//

It definitely was not as expected, how the events had played out and how it was turning. For many, like Irabel, the act of killing your mate was not something they would consider. Yet as he sat there, there was an uneasy understanding. He could see the decision, the moment it was made.

Sarek looked towards her when she gripped his hand, his fingers squeezing hers before he looked back to the arena. "No, I don't think he is. She ensured it was a quick death." He didn't say that he thought she was saving her mate, an unthinkable act of love.

His gaze lingered upon her, she looked rather shaken by what she had witnessed. He leaned closer to her. "Are you okay?"

----

Carynth's attention rose to Arktos, his rage and words were being noted. It was an easy way out, Cassandra had taken away the right to punish Saetan from them by killing him as quickly as she did. His fingers tightened upon the arm of his chair, his jaw tightened.

"Would you like to go down there and reverse time? We do not have that luxury. Instead she will take the brunt of everything."

ACCIDENTAL KISS WIRH BLUE BURB BOY PLEASE?! Sorry, I am so hype to read your drabbles. I need some cuteness in my life today. /gen. ~@nikkzships

Oh ho HO sounds like a fun creative challenge 👀 (also that means so much aaaa ty sm 😭)

Kissed

7. accidental

The day was bright and shining, birds were singing and flowers were blooming. A small monster girl with a mushroom cap was practically floating down the sidewalk. Noelle, the sweet girl she is, helped organize a little hangout between her, Palette, and Berdly. Noelle even said she'd run a little "late" to give them some alone time. Palette nearly hugged the life out of her!

It was down by the river, and they all were supposed to bring their Swatches to play some multiplayer games. Palette had a small bag, said Swatch inside along with some of her games. They looked up at the beautiful trees and clouds, a big ol dopey smile on her face. Today was going to be fantastic!

She finally made it to the river, the nerdy blue bird himself already sitting near the edge and watching the water.

"Berdly! Hi!" She called out, catching his attention.

"Ah, my pal, nice to see that you you've arrived!" Berdly smiled, smug as usual. The little mushroom quickly jogged over and placed her bag a safe distance from the lake before sitting semi close to him. "Noelle informed me that she'll sadly be late, but luckily I am here to entertain." He proudly boasted, hand on his chest. She giggled a bit, something that briefly made his heart skip a beat.

"Well, I'm happy to send time with you." She smiled, slight blush creeping up on her cheeks. Well, that was some slight unexpected kindness. Berdly quickly shook the weird feeling off and grabbed his own bag.

"And you'll be even more happy once you see what I have riiiight here!" He brought out a video game with a flashy cover, making Palette gasp.

"You got HareWare Switch it up?!" Her eyes sparkled as she flapped her hands, stimming in excitement.

"Yup! Good grades continue to reward you." His smug smile grew, glad he could insert his smartness in the conversation.

"Yeah they do!" She scooted up closer. "Can I watch you play? Just for a bit?" She begged. Berdly thought about it for a moment, he didn't particularly like the idea of leaving Noelle out. But her big grin and shining eyes...how could he say no to them?

"Why of course! I might even be generous enough to give you a turn." She clapped happily, making a cute squealing noise. A genuine smile took over his face, until the smug look he tended to have. He took out the game from it's case and put it in his Swatch, Palette scooting even closer until their sides were touching. The bird's feathers fluffed up, but he lightly shook it off before finally booting up the videogame.

A good couple minutes has passed, neither of them really knew how long. Palette was just enamored, watching the game intently while Berdly focused on doing his best, aiming to impress. Between the sounds from the videogame, the splashing river, and the occasional gust of wind on the warm day, it was very, very calming.

So was his heart beating so fast?!

Accidentally, he had lost his last life, the level ending.

"Aw, you were so close too!" Palette pouted, looking up at the bird.

"W-well it won't be hard to get back where I was-" Berdly had turned to face Palette, unknowingly closer than intended.

His beak was now right against her lips. Not exactly a kiss, but oh my god their lips were still touching holy crap holy crap-

They both immediately flew back onto the grass as if physically shocked, bright red blush overtaking both their faces.

"D-did we just?!" Palette's face covered her cheeks.

"Uh, Maybe?! I don't know?!?!" His feathered hands gently touched his beak, his heart now so loud he could practically hear it in his ears.

"I-I'm so sorry!! I didn't mean- Oh gosh no I-"

"You're fine you're fine! You're okay it was fine! I-I mean-!" Crap, words were failing him now. Curses!

"Sorry for being late, I'm here!" Noelle called out, smiling for a moment before she noticed both of her friends, red faced and wide eyed.

"Uh...Did I miss something?"

Susie forcing Kris into diapers?

As of typing this, this is the last DR request in my inbox. If nothing new comes in I guess I'll have to find something else to write (or stop procrastinating and finish my longer stories instead OTL)

Also I've done enough of these that I should probably start using character tags. I won't use the characters' real names because this definitely doesn't belong in the main tags, but my bad jokes will probably make it obvious who's who.

“Oh, this is too good,” Susie cackled, leaning back as she opened Kris’ dresser drawer the rest of the way. Obviously the first thing she’d done on being let into Kris’ bedroom was to dig for dirt, hunting around for an old diary or photo album, but she hadn’t at all expected what she’d actually found.

In the bottom drawer of the dresser, next to a pile of neatly-folded winter pyjamas, was an opened pack of nighttime diapers.

The moment Kris saw what Susie had found, what little colour they had drained from their face, the human quickly averting their eyes from the sight. Good, it wouldn’t be funny if Kris wasn’t ashamed to have it found.

“Man, Kris, you just keep upping the ante on being a weenie, huh?” Lifting the pack out of the drawer, Susie set it down on Kris’ bed to get a better look at it. The packaging said there were two dozen in the pack, but there were probably four or so missing, creating a noticeable void within the clear plastic wrapping.

“Shut up,” Kris hissed, probably going for insulted but really just coming across as embarrassed. “I don’t wear those, mom just never throws anything out.”

“There’s some missing,” Susie said, fixing Kris with her best smug grin and waiting out their attempt at stoic silence.

Eventually they cracked, the need to defend themself winning out over the urge to not dig their hole deeper. “...I caught that stomach bug that went around the school last year, and it was worse for humans - don’t laugh!” They cut themself off when Susie started doing just that, one hand gripping her face as she laughed at the ceiling.

“Oh wow, that’s great, I needed a laugh like that.” Eventually Susie’s glee settled, her loud laughter no longer raising Kris’ hackles. “I bet you looked so dumb in these things, I’ve gotta see that.”

Crossing their arms over their chest, Kris said, “It’s not like mom took photos of me while I was sick.”

“No, duh, that’d be dumb. But I’ve still gotta see it.”

Kris just stared for a minute, clearly not getting what Susie was saying. She waited silently, counting the seconds until realisation brought heat back to their face. “Absolutely not.”

“I wasn’t asking you! After all the bossing us around you did today, I deserve to see something this stupid.” She watched Kris turn towards the bedroom door, but it was easy to get there first and lean her weight against it so they couldn’t open it. “No running away from this one.”

Kris kept trying to pull at the door anyway, but without any magic Dark World strength it stayed firmly shut. “Why do you even want to see something that stupid?”

“I dunno, stress relief? Payback for you telling Noelle I have a tail? Do I gotta have a reason? It’s just funny.” Once Kris stopped yanking at the door, Susie grabbed them by the neck of their shirt and dragged them back towards the bed, Kris quickly giving up on trying to out-strength her.

“Telling Noelle you have a tail didn’t ruin your reputation, though.”

“And this is gonna ruin yours? It’s not like I’ve got a phone to take pics on, and I already know you’re a huge nerd, this isn’t gonna change that. It’s just getting even. Now quit trying to distract me, we’re getting you in this thing.”

Obviously Susie had no idea how to put a diaper on somebody, but the point of this wasn’t to do it well. Shoving Kris until they sat on the bed, she yanked their pants and boxers down around their ankles (admittedly awkward, but Susie kept focused on the task at hand) before grabbing one of the diapers from the pack now that it was back in arm’s reach.

Wrapping the diaper around Kris’ waist - and working around their defensive gestures in the process - Susie pulled all the tapes as tight as they’d go, assuming that was what they were there for, and stepped back to judge the finished product, taking their pants with her as insurance.

If it wasn’t so clearly Kris’ size, Susie probably would’ve assumed the diapers were something Toriel had bought for the little kids she taught. The waistband had a repeating pattern of various monster parts, horns and tails covered in all manner of fur, scales and feathers. The main body of padding was mostly unadorned, save for a pair of vertical lines surrounded by rainbow stars, probably some sort of fade-when-wet design.

As she’d hoped, Kris looked even dumber wearing it.

“God, this is better than I expected, you look like such a weenie.” Susie grinned, only not laughing because that would make her look away from Kris’ show of ever-increasing discomfort. They kept shifting around on top of the bedspread, freezing up every time the diaper crinkled under them, tugging at the hem of their shirt as if that could ever cover them up. “Do you feel like a weenie too? I bet you do.”

“The weeniest, obviously,” Kris signed, throat bobbing with an aborted attempt to speak. If they’d said it, Susie might have assumed they were trying to deflect, but the signing was a clear indicator that they really were embarrassed by this.

“Good, that’s the point. Oh man, even Ralsei would think you look like a dork wearing those.” Eyes widening with a new thought, Susie asked, “Do you think they’d turn into something if we went to see him? Like our clothes normally do?”

“I’m not going all the way into a Dark World wearing this,” Kris replied, dodging the actual question Susie had asked. She’d bet it would turn into something though, probably something even dumber than how it already looked.

“Hell yeah you are. Here,” she said, throwing Kris’ pants back at them, “put those back on, I gotta see this.”

Kris caught the pants but didn’t otherwise move. “No. I put this on for you, I’m not going back to school wearing these.”

“God, man, just because you look like a damn baby doesn’t mean you’ve gotta act like one,” Susie groaned. “Put those on, seriously, or I’ll drag you to school without ‘em.”

Kris shut up and put the pants on quickly after that. At least they learned fast.

Scaramouche

- People assumed scaramouche wasn’t a fan of clingy lovers, to others he’s portrayed as a head strong independent killer who takes no shit from anyone

- Thats definitely right in a sense but you should see that claim become incorrect when people see him around you.

- You’re energetic, always giddy, and from the looks of it quite clingy.

- Everywhere whenever he’s seen with you you’re right by his side holding on tight to his free arm talking his ear off with a big smile on your face

- Its weird to see a blood seeking tiger with a stray kitten you know?

- On the outside he looks utterly pissed, hissing at your every word and teasing you for how clingy you are

- But tbh he adores it, hes trying so hard not to blush when you do so much as touch him

- In public the most he’ll let you do is hold his arm or something like that but in private he’ll welcome every ounce of affection.

- Your energy makes him feel ever so safe and the fact your clingy just heals his inner self sm

- Often times he’ll scramble out of your hold amongst other harbingers but there was this one time..

It was a day like any other, a work day where your boyfriend was to return to his duties in a matter of a few minutes but there you were in his hold, talking as loud as you wanted with a grin on your face, buried in the corner of his neck.

He’d stroke your back in a behaved pattern as you Bothe embraced the private moment, that is before a certain orange hair barged into the office, wide eyed at the scene he was witnessing “Ah- have I disturbed you two?”

“Oh archons- um I’ll get going-“

Before you could even attempt to wiggle out of scars arms he held on tight before ordering Childe to get tf out

“Your still hugging me-?”

“Yea and?”

“Usually you’d shove me off if someone were to see-“

“Well I don’t need to be that secretive about your skinship obsession.. .. ugh just keep rambling, the room is too quiet.”

Kaeya

- so weirdly proud of it

- Hes always got that proud little smug on his face that says “wish you were me?” Whenever you run up to him with a bright smile ready to cling to his arm

- He pats you lightly on the head the moment you wrap your arm around his and he just lets you talk while giving a bunch of commentary

- He isnt much of a listener, more like a converser. He’s really good at holding and making conversation so you both are talking quite a lot

- He doesnt mind your clinginess that much, unless he’s super busy doing knight work, he’ll happily entertain you and always welcome the affection

- He also brags about it so much to other people, mostly people that are kinda into you 😋

- In the most insensitive. Way. Possible.

“Ahg- my lover is quite closed off..”

“Sadly i cant relate to you as mine is head over heels inlove with touching me, in every way possible and everywhere.”

- he isnt scared of pda so if you cling to his arm he’ll take it another step up and kiss you on the cheek

- If theres a time where your next to him and you arent touching him or holding his hand he’ll assume your in a bad mood or he did something wrong😞

- You two look like such a power couple 🤕

- There are definitely lovers who mind the excessive skinship but he isnt one of them, and he reassures you he never will be but what if the whispers saying “isnt he annoyed of them always being around him?” Get to you sometimes

“Kaeya..”

“Hm?” The hand that was previously slung around your boyfriends bicep was relaxed and put behind your back.

“Do you think my thing with physical affection is annoying?” The question didnt surprise him, nor catch him off guard. He knew youd been listening to the whispers of jealousy, he was waiting for you to bring it up.

“Want my honest opinion sweetheart?”

“Mhm.”

“I would never be bothered by such a thing. Im more prideful that you’re so obsessed with me anyways-“

“Obsessed?! That is a leap.”

“Its not” the man winks while lengthening the ‘not’ in a singy song voice as you shake his shoulders annoyed

Noelle

- she is honored. Literally so happy you think shes fit to hug and spoil in touch like shes gonna cry bro hug her more pls

- Unless shes carrying something she welcomes your obsession with clinging onto her arm with a smile on her face

- She blushes everytime you do it and her heart is just doing summersaults

- Over time she came to just expect it, like whenever she could see your figure running up to her her first thought was “ah theye gonna hold my arm!”

- If you dont shes gonna assume she did something wrong and just stare at you like a sad little baby puppy terrified their gonna get in trouble

- If theres ever a day where you dont hold her arm the entire time shell be at your door with your favorite dessert in hand ready to apologize profusely for whatever tf she did

- Please say that it was nothing and give her cuddles she thinks so low of herself your touch fixes everythinf😞

- She just cant help that adorable blush on her face whenever someone points out how affectionate you are to her

- But at the same time she feels like she doesnt deserve it😞

“Y-y/n… are you possibly a bit bothered today?”

“Hm? Oh of course not dear, why are you asking?”

“Oh well..!” Embarrassed at her sudden spur of words she covers her blushed face with an ashamed pout

“Its just that usually youd be touching me a bit more and being more affectionate.. but i completely get if you dont feel like it cause we all have our boundaries and all that hut i cant help but feel a bit worried-“

Before the short haired woman can finish her sentence she finds you chuckling away at her rant, “Noelle, im not mad or anything! To be honest i was the one that was scared you didnt like me touching you! I always find you looking away whenever somebody mentions it..”

“Oh dear im just a bit shy about it uhm-“

The day went on with you two sticking to eachother with grins on your faces after that whole fiasco, now you know shes not ashamed of it atleast!
