#and a spoiled league prince

[ghost-bxrd]

Was rereading What you're looking for (you claim to abhor) and I just realized I'm a little confused on whether Jason is aware that Damian is Bruce's kid or not? Does he just think Talia had a child with someone and ended up bonding with Damian, hence he has a little brother? Or is he aware that Talia has been hiding Damian from Bruce and is too preoccupied with the whole "my family thinks i'm my own boyfriend" mess that the thought of mentioning Damian just hasn't come up?

Yes Jason is aware!

Talia never kept it a secret from him. When she took Jason in after some League operatives found him wandering around Gotham following his resurrection she only waited long enough to ascertain that he wouldn’t pose a threat to a vulnerable kid before introducing them to each other.

Jason was still mostly catatonic at the time so his memories of meeting Damian for the first time are a bit foggy, but after he was submerged in the Pit and Talia caught him up on everything she also informed him of Dami’s lineage.

Jason’s wasn’t really intent on spending time with Damian for a while after that (mostly because he didn’t remember his time before the Pit at all for a few months yet and partly because… well, he was afraid that someone looking like Bruce might trigger the Pit rage).

Damian, true to fashion, stayed away from Jason for a solid two days before he snuck away from the heavily protected Al Ghul quarters and marched through Nanda Parbat all by himself to find his self proclaimed brother.

Jason was both appalled and impressed when he found the kid fighting off two would-be assassins just outside his room. (Talia was mildly miffed that the assassins were already dead by the time she caught up to Damian)

Damian and Jason frequently trained together after that, a lot of times even with Talia personally when she wasn’t yet convinced Jason would be capable of protecting both himself and Damian from tutors who would wish them harm.

Soon the two became virtually inseparable and Jason got promoted quickly first to Damian’s personal bodyguard, then to General of the Shadows and eventually got officially adopted by Talia al Ghul in a ceremony where Ra’s also gave his consent.

Oh wow ok that got off topic real quick I’m so sorry. I’ll just leave this here anyway.

But to answer the last question: 50/50

On one hand Jason is pretty preoccupied with the whole Gotham Drama, on the other hand he never had any intention to tell Bruce about Damian in the first place. As far as he’s concerned, Damian is way better off in the safety of Nanda Parbat with a kickass mom and a homicidal grandad, far, FAR away from Bruce’s crusade and his tendency to put kids in suits.

I hope that answers it 💚💚💚

Growing Up in the Justice League HC

Purely self indulgence cause I've been on this and idk why so bear with me here

I can just easily romanticize growing up in the Justice League too easily and it would be a problem

you're brought in at as a baby to be trained by Diana

Apollo brings you to her and tells her that you are an ancient being that regenerates as a new person when you die and this is the form that you have taken. As you get older, you will remember the skills and memories of your past lives but you will have to be raised with someone who can handle you

Diana just loves babies so she had no problem with that

I'd say the league has been established for some time during this point and everyone knows each other's identities in the core group

You grew up in Paris and New York being raised as a mama's child

Bruce is the closest you get to a dad and he does his best

SPOILS YOU ROTTEN

all the Barbies and Legos and whatever toys you'd want as a child

They know that you've been trained as an assassin, wizard, queen, knight, sorceress, scientist, all of these other things that can be traumatic so they just want you to have a great, decent childhood

when you start remember things they begin training you to be a hero

It's like PE and recess all in one since they're really just trying to figure out what you can do

Clark treats you like a fragile piece of glass up until you're a teen cause teenagers confuse him and he just cannot not see you as an innocent beep boppin child sometimes

Barry keeps up with the culture and knows all the songs from your favorite childhood movies and tv shows that you grew up watching on the massive computer in the watch tower when you were up there

will dance to any Barbie song since he knows them all by heart

Hal makes fun of you two but secretly enjoys the movies and is very emotionally invested in Princess and the Pauper and Diamond Castle

Diana and Bruce make sure that you have a great education and training

They are the mature parents of the group and want to make sure you're a functioning member of society

you've got a bag full of grandparents in the Kents, Allans, Princes, Alfred and they all love you to death

Alfred teaches you to make the best tea and gardening, Ma Kent teaches you to quilt and make bread, Pa Kent teaches you how to drive a tractor and farm, Hippolyta teaches you about the Greek gods and ancient cultures and how to ride horses, the Allans would have loads of board games to play and love having you over

Once Young Justice or Teen Titans comes around you don't join since you're officially a Justice League member and get along better with the adults since you were raised by them

That doesn't mean that you don't like or hang out with the kids, it's just that you have better inside jokes with Hal and Barry

When Superboy comes around and the League disappears, you were the only one not taken by the portal since you were helping out some civilians

You knew that Clark wasn't dead and you knew the League was somewhere

What kept you afloat was humor and Kon attached to that since he just needed someone that wasn't insane in his life

you probably won't develop romantic feelings for each other but it's more of a camaraderie since you were both raised in a really unorthodox way

when the league finally comes back, you say it's the happiest day of your life and rant to them that you were the only one who knew they weren't gone but no one understood it

Hal and Barry are known for having a thing for chicken tenders and make sure to instill an addiction in you for chicken tenders

Arthur (Aquaman) really really really likes them too but he doesn't realize it until he comes to the League

Clark would be the one to take you out for ice cream randomly or if you're having a bad day

the mother hen therapist type

You're America's favorite Justice Leaguer and often go viral for in uniform interactions with the League

Dancing with Flash at a Presidential ceremony because the music is too beep boopin good and you can't help but bop around a little bit

Media also loves you as a civilian and it's been suspected that you are the love child between Diana and Bruce since I mean- that would make the most sense

it's a running joke in the league

< event m.list┆when they spoil you

characters: idia, leona, vil

details: gn!reader / sfw, established relationship

idia shroud has madol to spare.

seriously. he has loads lying in his bank account, untouched. all he uses it for is games, merchandise, figurines and a plethora of charities he repeatedly saw ads for and couldn’t click off. he’s subscribed to so many things over the years, half of the time he doesn’t even know what his phone is billing him for. not that it really matters. to say there was ample room for him to spend more would be an understatement, but he had nothing (correction, nobody) at all to spend it on.

at least, until he met you. 

he’s (regrettably) played enough dating sims and watched enough shoujo romances to know about the different love languages. personally, he adores words of affirmation, lapping up your praise like some sort of starved kitten. (his ego is skyrocketing and it’s all your fault) but gift giving? now that’s his guilty pleasure. it’s quick, easy and an often wordless exchange, which was good for him! the less verbal mush he has to say, the better.

it starts off simple, just idia logging on to do your dailies whenever you’re busy. then, he’s buying you the monthly battle pass. and then, it’s the overpriced skin for a character you didn’t even care much for in the first place. before you know it, you’re that couple, notorious on video games… you know, the annoying ones with matching avatars and bios, with all the unnecessary assets that were locked behind a paywall. oh, the irony of it all. he used to hate those types!

you logged him into you favourite shopping apps, so if there’s something on your wishlist that exceeds your budget on a shopping spree, he’ll take care of it before you get the chance. every time you joke about him being your sugar daddy, (which is not true. he doesn’t even buy you things that often!) he says he’ll block you on everything. he never goes through with it, though.

idia is too shy to admit it, but there’s a small part of him that wishes to gift give more, solely because of your reaction — he can’t help it, the surprised pikachu-like expression and the way you throw your arms around him when he surprises you with something you’ve been eyeing gives him a serotonin boost! he’ll be giddy, practically hyper for the rest of the day, as though he’s on a sugar-rush… his brain just goes into overdrive and all he can think about is how he wants to hit replay and have you do it again over and over and over. he’s so touch starved.

you’re his first everything, so who can blame him for treating you? he still thinks you’re leagues ahead of him. so he’s not doing it to be cocky or make you feel guilty, he does it because the three words he tries so hard to say refuse to fall from his lips. his throat dries and his hands get clammy and his brain fails to form coherent thoughts whenever he attempts to tell you in person — but if you look closer, you’d find that it’s already been conveyed through his gifts: a non-verbal ‘i care about you’, ‘i want you to be happy’ and of course, ‘i love you.’

leona kingscholar is no stranger to expensive gifts.

being a prince, he’s had suitors from far and wide travel to present him with lavish things — and yet, he can only say a select few had no ulterior motive. thus, receiving gifts is something he brushes off quite easily.

when you shower him with the very thing he avoids, he doesn’t know what to make of it. do you want something from him? is that why you’re dating him? the worst part is he doesn’t voice his concerns at all, feigning indifference until ruggie pokes his nose into his business. “leona, what have you ever gotten for them?”

nothing. he’s gotten you nothing. he takes, takes, takes, and you’ve asked for nothing in return. not once has asked you if you wanted anything, too caught up in his own negativity — fuck. he’s not too good at this whole ‘boyfriend’ thing. leona realises that you’re not giving gifts because you want something out of him, you’re doing it because you love him, and simply want to see him happy.

very abruptly, he’s asking you about things you’ve had your eye on. wristwatches that are just wayyy too expensive for a regular student, or newly-released branded shoes that you know you can’t afford till they go on sale. you never really know if leona’s listening to your absent-minded rambles, so you pay no mind to his sudden curiosity. he’s always said he likes the sound of your voice, so you keep on talking.

“anything you’ve got your eye on?” he’s lounging on your thighs, eyes closed as you lace your fingers through his hair. “other than you?”

he glares at you. you laugh before responding properly, and he listens attentively (he always has) because he’s irritatingly enamoured (he always will be)

leona can tell when you get excited, ears twitching with the intonations of your voice, “there were these headphones i liked, and oh! also these sliders (…)” your candid response is almost amusing. you’re oblivious, completely unbeknownst to the wishlist in leona’s head that seems to grow longer, and longer, and longer…

your birthday this year will be a big one.

vil schoenheit ‘unintentionally’ spoils you.

like leona, vil has been recipient of gifts since the start of his career. whether it’s brand deals or romantic advancements, it’s all the same to him. that doesn’t mean the notion isn’t sweet!! and if it’s you gifting him something, it’s all the more sweeter.

that said, he makes sure to remind you that he doesn’t require gifts. your relationship is bolstered by the genuine trust you have in each other, so he doesn’t need flowery grand gestures — not that he won’t accept them, because he will! — but he’d rather not have you splurge on him when you still have a future to focus on. being goal driven himself, he’d rather you not get carried away.

“just focus on yourself. be selfish.” he tells you, but he struggles to do that himself.

okay, he doesn’t necessarily give you gifts. he just so happens to have things lying around that he doesn’t need anymore. shoes from partnerships he didn’t like, jewellery that’ll suit you better, or clothes that are so not his style are all sent straight to you. he has a surplus of things he doesn’t use, so why not give it away to someone who’d make better use of it? it’s not intentional or anything.

“stay still.” he’s got you sitting in his vanity chair as he kneels on the ground, knuckles grazing your skin as he fastens the clasp of a silver bracelet on your wrist. “vil, when did you buy this?”

“i didn’t. it was free. magicam promo.” that’s what he claims, but you know better. of course you do, when you were the one sitting across from him one week ago as he mulled over purchasing the exact same thing.

so maybe he’s a liar. he does spoil you. he does it all the time. but his school performance hasn’t been hindered, and neither has yours, so… just let him carry on.

i know we all love our jason “reads classical literature and makes obscure literature references” todd, and usually damian is the other reader in the family and they either bond over their love for classical literature or try to kill each other. however i would like to take this a step further and say that EVERYone in the batfam are big readers. i come from a big family and all of us read in some way or another so here are my headcanons for the bats:

jason, as we know and love, is a massive classic literature buff. pride and prejudice, the brontë sisters, the iliad (he swears achilles and Patroclus are the greatest love story of all time), etc. he IS pretentious and everyone groans when classic literature is brought up in any debatable capacity. however his all time favorite book is the princess bride and he would die for buttercup. when the whole family starts watching jujutsu kaisen, jason reads the manga just so he can spoil things for damian that never actually happen. the day a new episode comes out jason tells damian panda was actually a spy and kills megumi. damian tries to kill him with his cereal spoon

while damian was with the league talia made sure he was sufficiently educated in classic literature in all their original languages, and he doesn’t mind a good classic. however i think he actually reads a lot of manga and children's classics. he read where the red fern grows and old yeller and cried, but he won’t ever admit it. he loves shonen and shojo manga, he really likes naruto and attack on titan (i can’t really decide what i think he’d like actually)

Dick is a smut slut girly!! he is in a bookclub with babs and steph where they read the sluttiest books to ever make it through publishing. He read ACOTAR and was constantly facetiming babs to rant. they're currently reading haunting adaline. Bruce once asked what the big deal was when the girls were talking to dick about fouth wing in the kitchen and they all looked at him with such offended expressions he never asked again

tim is also a pretentious fucker, but he reads dark academia. he will ride or die for Donna Tarte, his copy of the secret history is always on the desk by the batcomputer and he takes if we were villians on patrol with him. jason fucking hates his books and they're always fighting on who's taste in books is better. jason actually really loved a little life a cried seven times while reading it, but he would rather die than concede

steph is an AO3 girly!! she's part of the slut bookclub with dick and babs, but at heart she's an ao3 girly. she's also written her fair share of bruce wayne x batman fanfics. she once read a superbat fanfiction out loud to the boys and dick was absolutely enthralled, duke was morbidly facinated, damian had never been more disgusted in his life, and jason laughed so hard he almost threw up

duke reads a lot of comics (spiderman is his favorite because i say so and the MCU is their comic world), and he likes X-men and wolverine. he also really likes high fantasy and has read every book brandon sanderson has ever written

Cass like romance novels and ya books. damian acknowledges her taste in books after she defends his stance on harry potter and percy jackson being classics when jason tries to argue that they don't belong in the same category as his books. she read the cruel prince and convinced bruce to get her a snake she named percy. she reads books damian recommends and he would never actually say it out loud, but he secretly loves sharing his books with her and feels a lot closer to her because of her willingness to read what he recommends

bruce isn't typically a reader (he's too busy serving justice and kicking ass) but he will read books that his kids ask him to. he read the entire wheel of time series with duke and would go on patrols with him after just to talk about it. he read the golden compass to dick when he first took him in, and he read all of jane austen's books after jason told him he must be illiterate if he'd never picked up a classic

now what about alfred...

i dont have time to do everyone else and this is super rushed, but I just couldn't stop thinking about dick and babs having a little book club and reading the sluttiest books ever

Move over

League of Legends/HEARTSTEEL!AU - Kayn x Ezreal

A/N: is heartsteel still cool or are we over the topic already? Anyway, idc, i wanna write for my babies so you can expect more on the way eheheh. Also, I'm lowkey sorry for how I wrote Kayn in this one, I'm still not sure how to make it when someone has a demon speaking inside their head

Summary: Ezreal wants to sit on his favorite spot on the couch, but Kayn is already sitting on it, so... they start bickering each other, yeah.

Word count: 1170 words

Kayn leaned his head back on the couch, looking down to the cellphone in his hands as he mindlessly scrolled through his social media feed. He had just left the practice room and, now, besides Rhaast’s voice, he could also hear Yone’s scolding ringing inside his head. What a hassle.

Still, that was part of being in a band, Kayn thought, and it was probably better than not having a plan. He wanted everything to be perfect, so of course they needed to practice over and over and over, as many times needed - but it didn’t make people less annoying to deal with.

“You shouldn’t have let him have the last word”, Rhaast said inside his head, making Kayn roll his eyes. “It would only make things harder, I didn’t feel like picking up a fight. Now shut it, will you?” The rapper groaned, taking his eyes back to the screen.

“We need to show them who is in charge!”, the demon continued and Kayn tightened his grip around his cellphone. He was already annoyed on his own without Rhaast’s voice occupying the room for his thoughts, he didn’t need another issue to deal with.

“I told you to shut up,” Kayn groaned, taking a deep breath as he closed his eyes, wishing the demon had a physical body so he could punch him in the face. Maybe if he punched himself hard enough Rhaast would feel it as well? Should he try it?

While considering how he could violently solve the problem with the one inside his head, Kayn’s inner dialogue was interrupted when a third voice called for him. “Who are you talking to?”

The rapper opened his eyes, looking to Ezreal, who was idly standing in front of him. The vocalist had already changed into a more comfortable outfit, with a pair of flannel shorts and an oversized hoodie and just that sight alone was already enough to make Kayn feel something stuck at the back of his throat. An insult, he thought (or hoped so).

“None of your business, little prince,” he teased, making Ezreal roll his eyes. 

“Whatever. Move over,” Ezreal ordered and, before Kayn could process the meaning of those words, the vocalist was already trying to squeeze in the little space between Kayn and the couch’s arm.

The pink-haired guy groaned, half confused, half annoyed, not able to figure out what his bandmate was about. “Really? Fuck off, Ez, there are plenty of spots,” Kayn hissed, being pushed to the side despite his attempts to stay.

“Yeah, but I like this one,” Ezreal replied like the spoiled prince he was, the rapper thought, pressing himself against the couch in an attempt to put up a battle.

But it was all in vain.

After a couple of grunts and pushes, the vocalist managed to sit - or, at least, partially. Without enough space in the little corner, Ezreal decided to shamelessly rest his legs on top of Kayn’s. 

“See? No one respects you here, Kayn”, Rhaast promptly said inside his head, making Kayn roll his eyes. “Don’t you think I had enough of you?” He barked, saying each word out loud.

“What?” Ezreal raised an eyebrow, moving his eyes up from his cellphone’s screen to stare at Kayn. “I just got here, besides, I told you to move over .”

“Not you, I- I wasn’t- agh, forget it, loser,” Kayn groaned, finding himself cornered in a losing battle against those two. Ezreal crossed one ankle over the other, humming happily when he noticed Kayn was too busy… well, being Kayn to shove him away. The vocalist got comfortable while the rapper, on the other hand, became more irritated. 

Just as Kayn was about to snap - not sure if at Rhaast or at Ezreal - an idea of how to turn the tables in his favor popped up in his head. He smiled, slowly resting his hands on top of Ezreal’s legs. 

Feeling Kayn’s touch, Ezreal sighed, lowering his cellphone to look at him. “You know, this is not half-ba- h-huh? What’s with that face?” He stuttered, feeling scared as Kayn stared at him like a predator to its prey.

“You sure you don’t wanna move, prince?”

Ezreal blinked, trying to figure out what he was about, but shook his head, shrugging off any doubt. “Duh, yeah? I want to sit here,” he pouted, fearing the consequences those words could have, beginning to think of a thousand ways Kayn could be mean to him - but not this one.

“H-hey, what ahahar- ah, nohoh! K-Kahayan, stohohop it!” He giggled nervously, trying to jerk his foot out of Kayn’s reach, but his leg was firmly held back, leaving his foot at the mercy of Kayn’s mean tickling.

Scribbling right over Ezreal’s arches, Kayn chuckled at the other’s reaction. How could he not have thought of this sooner?

“Tickling? Seriously?”, Rhaast barked inside his head, but Kayn could barely pay attention to the demon’s word, way too entertained with finding out a way to make Ezreal laugh harder. “Is our little prince ticklish? Of course he is,” Kayn teased, tracing his fingers down the middle of Ezreal’s sole, making the vocalist squeal in mirth.

“K-KahAHahayn, lehehet go, you ihiHIH- OKAHAY! S-sohohorry!” Ezreal cackled when Kayn quickly retaliated his offense with tickles near his toes, a spot that seemed to be awfully effective for Kayn’s goal.

“What’s wrong, Ez? Am I being too harsh for your delicate porcelain skin?” 

“S-shuHUHup uhup! I sahAHaid I’m sohOHOrry!!” Ezreal gasped, hitting Kayn’s leg with his free heel, trying to not fall off the couch as he squirmed with laughter.

“So will you quit being a brat?” Kayn demanded, scratching the bottom of Ezreal’s heel when he didn’t get an answer in the first seconds after his question. “Or should I make this lesson a little longer?”

“YehHEHEAH- AhAHaha, c-cohohome on! PlehEHEhase! Just s-stahahap!” Ezreal pleaded one last time before finally getting a break. He laid down in defeat, feeling like his body would melt on top of the couch, but soon realized a thing: Kayn hadn’t push him away - nor moved at all.

Was that just a way of messing with him, Ezreal thought, just to make him laugh or have some fun? The vocalist narrowed his eyes, staring at Kayn in confusion, having some ideas that made his heart skip a beat. He didn’t know why, but Kayn seemed a little more relaxed now, even allowing Ezreal to rest his legs on top of his again - this time with no tickles.

About 10 minutes later… or what is 20? Anyway, a couple moments later, when getting ready to get out, K’Sante let out an amused, but proud chuckle when he saw the duo sprawled over the couch together. “Good to see you two are getting along.”

“We’re not”, they replied together, talking as if Ezreal wasn’t comfortably laying on top of Kayn’s lap. 

K’Sante shook his head, thinking it would be better to not disturb those two - surely they would figure themselves out… eventually.

as a fellow virgin male enthusiast, who are thee virgins of each fandom ur in??

— ⋆｡˚｡⋆ ｡˚ 𓆩𖥔𓆪 ˚｡⋆｡˚｡⋆ —

sᴘᴇᴀᴋɪɴɢ : ooooh, ive never really given any deep thought to who takes the virgin crown before. let’s dive in !

𓆩𖥔𓆪 — disclaimer ! these are just my opinions. if you disagree, cool. don't really care to hear it but let's be civilized and cordial.

Chainsaw Man - Obvious Answer

i know. you know. we all know who it is. do you think I should explain why? no. we all know I don't so we're gonna move on.

Demon Slayer - Himejima Gyomei

I’ll be honest, I was torn between Gyomei and Giyuu, but ultimately, Mr. Stone is taking the cake on this one. Now listen, I know we’re all enamored and absolutely riveted by the man's sheer size, but we have to be honest with ourselves (even if it hurts). And it’s not because he’s a sensitive soul and he cries over grass getting cut, but because he’s just a pious man imo. I truly believe that intercourse of any kind is the absolute last thing on his mind, if it’s there at all. Even if he did have sex, I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be for pleasure. 

Haikyuu - Asahi Azumane

i struggled with this one because id have to go school by school and more than one came to mind (maybe I'll do that later just for funsies 🤭) but Asahi is scoring high on my vir-dometer. Asahi seems like the type of guy who would wait until he's in a strong committed relationship before he has sex. Casual sex, one-night stands, and even early into the relationship. Something as intimate and personal as sex shouldn't just be done willy nilly (hehe, willy) and he has to be sure and secure in himself and his partner. What a guy, right?

Jujutsu Kaisen - Kokichi Muta

I feel like he's a virgin just because he's chronically in the friend zone. He just kind of has the misleading aura to him that keeps landing him there, like "Oh, he doesn't seem like the type that wants to be in a relationship/have casual sex. But I enjoy his company so win some lose some." Of course, he doesn't feel like that, but he also won't clear that misconception/misunderstanding up. Sure he'd like to get laid, but not at the expense of how people perceive him. He knows his time will come soon enough, though.

My Hero Academia - Shigaraki Tomura

Now before y'all jump down my gullet and bring up AFO Shiggy, I want to implore you all to be fucking forreal. That boy can barely talk to the people in his league, let alone get someone into his bed. And if he did (by some miraculous act of god), i'm almost positive he'd do one of two things. Sit there confused as to what to do next or he'd cum during foreplay and fall asleep. He's just incredibly, debilitatingly awkward to me and I pity the boy.

Obey Me - Belphegor

Belphie's just lazy, to be completely honest. I can't see him putting in any actual effort to lose his virginity. Sex is a physical activity that, depending on how soft or rough/fast or slow you are, can be quite strenuous. Is 10-20 minutes of physical activity worth like, 4 minutes of afterglow? No. No it isn't. It'd be much better spent sleeping. Or taking a nap. Resting his eyes, if you will. If he ever decides to spare the energy to bone, however, he's not doing any work. Purely spoiled pillow prince.

Tokyo Revengers - Kisaki Tetta

Kisaki is still a virgin just because of how obsessive and delusional he is. There's only one person for him and he's tunnel visioned on making them his and his alone. It's different from waiting for the right one because he knows who the right one is. They just don't know yet. He doesn't have a single moment to waste on some random fling or distract himself from his ultimate goal of making his target officially his.

@red-viewe @killersweetie

You were never sure why this happened...

Things changed so quickly... Being with him for so long, even being taken in.

He insisted you live in the palace with him, claiming to love you to no end.. But it was a lie.

And you...

You had nowhere to go... Not a soul would take you in either..

Malleus..

He found that you weren't enough for him.. Couldn't spoil him the way he expected.

Your love and appreciation for him just wasn't enough.

"Humans don't last long. It'd be foolish to love one..."

That's what he told you...

And he sent you away... He sent you away with nowhere to go!

You were foolish to go and fall for some dragon fae prince who was far out of your league... Spoiled... Bratty.. needy..

Never truly experienced the yearning... The need.. That craving for love...

He had people... People who loved him..

What he couldn't handle was rejection, being told no, and losing someone... Couldn't cope properly, anyway...

You shouldn't have bothered with a guy like that! It was a red flag and you knew it!

Should've listened to your gut, now you're standing in the rain outside a closed hotel like a damn fool.

You knew better... Now you were alone... With no help this time...

That was, until Silver and Sebek came your way.

"Human!" The crocodile called.

The two approached you, Silver placing a coat on your back and holding an umbrella over your head, "You'll catch a cold like this..." He said softly.

"Come." Sebek instructed, "We have a place for you to stay!"

"You have..?" You perk up just a bit.

"I will not repeat myself!" Sebek clenched his jaw, trying to be firm and steadfast.

They led you off to a small home in the forest, one you would be safe and cozy in.

"We do hope you find it comfortable.." Silver said, bringing you inside, allowing you to take in your surroundings.

It was comfortable... You could relax..

But you still felt that ache in your chest... That sting in your eyes, and the squeeze of your heart...

It wasn't fair...

You felt angry...

So very angry...

How could he betray you like that..

As logical as his reasoning was... To send you away like that.. knowing you had nowhere...

He was cruel...

It wasn't fair!

Silver noticed your angered shaking and led you to a chair, sitting you down in front of the fireplace with a lit flame.

You close your eyes, breath shaken up.

Your head hurt from the tightness in your expression...

After this... After this, you would never trust anyone else with your heart...

You couldn't...

Silver sat in silence along with Sebek.

Should they tell you that Malleus had been speaking to another woman who was Fae.?

Could you handle that now..?

She'd convinced him to drop you, for her, giving him so many reasons to choose her over some pathetic, fragile bodied human girl.

They should wait... You weren't ready yet...

You only needed to digress...

The end!

Ok but Krypton!lives au but clark isn't some jerk alien prince, he is a brat no doubt but he's also just so oblivious to everything. Have some of my headcanons for this:

•I imagine it starting with kal el dropping down on Kansas farm [grown up and shit] being found by the Kents as they patch him up and take him down on the guest room, he wakes up freaks out a bit speaking in kryptonian and just floating around the house being overly careful of everything, ma and pa kent are confused and so is Kal, he tries to communicate with them and they finally find a common ground and after a month clark finally learns the human language.

•zod has managed to exile kal from his home planet, suffice to say kal el is currently heartbroken and looking for help

•Kal just saw some random pair of glasses and thought they were so cool so now he just wears them whenever he's in casual clothes but is in no way trying to hide his identity, people are just that dumb.

•Does not get social cues at all and will unwillingly say the wrong thing at the wrong time, he's just a happy little guy who wants to explore this strange planet and then go home

•he particularly likes rock music despite his personality, he finds hardcore metal music soothing

•he once tried to eat Batman's ears, in his defence they looked edible to him,

•Diana loves to fill in kal with false information about the human race, kal is not stupid enough to belive them but follows them anyways just because he thinks it would be funny

•Bruce has a very subtle crush on him and kal notices this immediately, he's confused as to why Bruce pretends to hate him

•The whole league [escpically bruce] is overprotective of him, lex Luthor doesn't stand a fucking chance

•Kal el has no filter and will call you out with a bright innocent smile and float away moving on with his day

•Kal lives in the watchtower only visiting earth for league business, he rarely works alone

•he floats near the Zeta tubes almost everyday hoping to see bruce and when he's not there he's disappointed

• he refuses to walk, he thinks he's done enough walking for a life time and bruce has to tug on kal's cape to make sure he isn't floating above his seat

•he is way more capable of communicating his emotions in kryptonian then in English, he will switch to kryptonian when he's ranting or angry

•Diana and Barry are the ones who suggest he make a civilian identity, and thus is born reporter clark kent.

•He still visits the Kents here and then bringing them souvenirs from space

•Does not understand when someone is flirting with him but will bring bruce random animals he finds in the wild as gifts because "I heard from Jason you like adopting tiny lonely beings"

•he's still pretty good at hiding his identity somehow and at this point as learned all social cues and slang thanks to lois

•yet he still decides to fuck with the league, he gives batman forehead kisses, he once called green lantern a thot ["does that not mean thoughtful?"] And will very knowingly insult anyone who even looks at his loved ones the wrong way

•while bruce is more open of his protectiveness [and possessiveness] of clark, Clark himself is more subtle and quiet about it, but not forgetting he's still technically a spoiled prince of Krypton cannot share. He snatches bruce and gets pouty whenever bruce is talking or flirting with anybody else

•it takes them five years to get together but it finally happenes and they start dating

•the kryptonians finally find clark and force him to go with them but clark now refuses even if his exile is over.

•unfortunately he really can't leave his planet behind and has to leave [he and bruce have a long sad conversation and clark breaks down]

•A month later bruce is handling another team meeting when Clark finally comes back

•he offically leaves Krypton to his older cousin Kara and moves in with bruce

•his favourite movies are the James bond movies

•The batfam all adore him

•Basically I want a Au of sweet innocent clark that's oblivious to innuendos and shit while bruce suffers in silence and the evolves into clark being a little shit who pretends he doesn't know what he's doing when pulls bruce close and whispers in his ear about smth knowing damm well he's doing things to Bruce.

Also-

Diana: Batman if your done fighting with your boyfriend, we need to leave

Batman: wha- kal is NOT my boyfriend!

Kal: (has only be in earth for a year) I'm not?

Batman: I-

Kal: Am I not your friend?

Batman: no kal I never said-

Kal: am I not a boy?

*jla snickering in the back*

[wesavegotham]

We just can't win it seems. On one hand Damian's life in the league is constantly described as strict, extremely demanding, full of discipline and so on to shit on the al Ghuls and portray them as evil and cold-hearted.

But then they also reduce it to "yeah, Damian was totally spoiled and never had to do anything he didn't want to in his life, what a lazy pompous brat"

That doesn't fit together? We are supposed to hate the al Ghuls for what they did to Damian, but if you want to shit on Damian you act like they spoiled him like a prince when he was with them "but now he's in the real world, so suck it brat"?

Either Damian was taught discipline and was forced to do lots of things he didn't want to do or he wasn't. Pick one. You can't do both.

Scott Pilgrim and my queer experience

So I've watched the new Scott Pilgrim show and after letting it sit for a while I thought now would be a good time to talk about my weird relationship with it.

First of all you gotta understand that all my previous contact with Scott Pilgrim was the movie and people older than me talking about it.

I never liked the movie, I watched it when I was very early in my teenage years and a lot of stuff flew over my head, but even then I resonated with Ramona Flowers in a way that I never quite did with any other character. You would think that this fascination would make me relate to Scott as well, as his whole deal is this loser dreaming of a girl way out of his league, but honestly I didn't, not even at the start of the film. Maybe it's because it was hitting too close to home, I too had my own girl wandering my dreams, but for way different reasons if you get what I mean, or maybe it was because, I thought that if I was Ramona, I would think that Scott was obnoxious and creepy, probably both. But there is a key thing here, my relationship with Ramona was always "If I was Ramona".

Cutting to the point, Ramona was that character for me as others are for other queer folks (I'm not looking at you), the first one where I would mirror my early insecurities about my identity and sexuality and source of both inspiration and horrific realization. It was unthinkable for me how the movie treated her, how Roxie was just a phase for her when I experienced way too early my own homosexual experiences, and I knew from my heart they were as real as my heterosexual longings, I hated how she was helpless against the men of her past and needed a blue prince to come and save her, when I fended off alone against the men that abused me, but the cherry on top of course was that Scott gets the girl in the end and doesn't have to be accountable for anything.

Now, about the show, first of all I'm going to spoil so be warned. The show is amazing, starting with the best decision ever, fucking kill Scott and send him on a redemption arc to the future and let the other characters steal the show. Without Scott, Ramona becomes the protagonist, and she embarks on a quest to find what happened to the loser she was banging, but most importantly reconciling with her past along the way, letting herself and the 7 exes to get some closure and in the end, when Scott has learned not to be a piece of shit by having his own ghost of the christmas future moment twice and actually talking to Knives, then makes sense for Ramona to end up with him.

This show has been made on a weird timing for myself as well, after many years I've finally reconciled myself as well, there's still stuff that hurts, and wounds that if they ever close they still will leave a nasty scar, but I've found some peace on this awful world, I have an amazing girl and I want to think I've become an amazing girl myself. It feels that this is what life was always meant to be.

Scott Pilgrim takes off is what Scott Pilgrim was always meant to be.

[fantastic-nonsense]

re-reading bits of those earlier Damian appearances for the sake of a meta and like....Dick was finally in a semi-decent place with his family and friends and mental health after the Devin Grayson trauma conga line era and then he lost Bruce and everything just fell apart again

and meanwhile Tim is so obviously 'clinically depressed and slightly deranged but trying to hold it together for the sake of his family' from the beginning of One Year Later all the way through getting Bruce back mid-Red Robin

and Damian is this incredibly traumatized child who was pushed incredibly hard to learn and do things he never should have had to, but was also clearly treated like a spoiled prince and so has no true understanding of just how fucked up he is until he leaves the environment of the League

they're all just so fucked up and messy and hurting but they keep trying to make it work anyway. they need therapy so bad, y'all

[valkyrieandstrangeridingaragorn]

I think you're absolutely right about the whole "Poor Sylvie working at 1980s McDonald's" angle. It's pure nostalgia bait. They know that all things 1980s tugs on everyone's heartstrings thanks largely in part to Stranger Things, so they're counting on nostaligia to help endear Sylvie to us this time.

I also think it's weird how our hearts are supposed to go out to Poor Sylvie, standing at her register, wistfully watching kids celebrate birthdays and little league games at McDonald's, feeling sad because she never got to do those things, when we're all forgetting she's Asgardian, and had she never been on the run, she would've continued being raised in Asgard, as an Asgardian, doing Asgardian things, and would never have set foot in a McDonald's to ever do any of those things anyway, so...?? Are we supposed to feel bad that she was separated from her family, or that she wasn't born an average American in the 1980s? I get the strangest feeling that the MCU just hates Asgard and the Thor franchise in general, considering how they've destroyed every aspect of it so spectacularly.

And I agree with you that the McDonald's angle is going to be the "I've never walked so much in my life" of season 2, and I just feel in my bones that there's going to be a pile of "Sylvie is a working-class hero who understands the plight of the poor" crap to come out of it. I've noticed that they've punked out her Loki costume with metal studs and ginormous safety pins, and it has a real "hello fellow kids" feel to it, if you know what I mean.

Agreed. It's slightly insulting how we're supposed to consider Loki to be this spoiled kid who had it all due to being born a prince... but we have to think of Sylvie as this poor little working-class hero. Uh... she was born a princess too! And she knew her whole life that she had been adopted, which is something Loki never had. She was taken young, sure... but she was playing with those toys so she had play time + she was living in a palace. That's pretty privileged if you ask me.

So they might give us a story where she feels sad when she sees families and she thinks of what she never had / only had for a short period of time. How quaint. You know what pisses me off the most about that? It's that Loki has been around for 12 years and they never bothered to give him that.

We've never gotten to hear him speak of his upbringing, his family, the things he lacked growing up, his traumas and the pain he might feel when he sees a father hug his kid. But Sylvie is going to have all that in only her second season? So they can do it... they just refused to do it with Loki. And not only that, but they're basically taking Loki and telling him "oh you wanted your traumas discussed out in the open? Well, watch us mock you and laugh at you in your own damn series while we tell the audience to feel sorry for a Loki variant that will NOT be you!". 🤮

Oh, and I agree that it feels like the MCU hates Asgard for some reason. They turned them into a joke... but they have been doing that with the magic-wielders for a while now. Don't get me started on MoM...

[transmasc-taub]

have you finished redheaded league?

I want to know your spoilery thoughts :D

Over all thoughts: I like it! It's my favorite atm, but that's always true of the new adventures.

My favorite bits are the start of part 2 (they wear disguises at a movie lot, John has to wear tights and Sherlock calls him a handsome prince) and towards the end of part 3 (John being unwilling to shoot a man due to the circumstances of the case, digging into his morality after being a soldier, the interesting shit)

The conclusion is more similar to the original than the setup was, if you're familiar, but if you're not I'm not going to spoil the end here 🤫 but very interesting choices

Also Irene Adler mention

Blood and Ashes

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4

Chapter 5: Tourneys and Memories

It was the day of the Tournament. The long-awaited Tournament for the King's Heir. This heir who had not even been born. But that didn't matter. The Prince's birth was just one more reason for more than half the city to gather and watch useless men fight their own kind. If not for the immense insistence of Rhaenyra and Viserys, along with Daemon's participation, Aerin would not even have bothered to come and watch. Aerin had little to no appreciation for tournaments and jousting, I mean, if she couldn't compete herself, what was the fun in just watching?

Aerin wore a black dress with red trim that had been given to her by Daemon years ago. This matched his own armor. Beside her, as the two climbed the stairs to the small platform, Rhaenyra was dressed in a bright red dress and had her hair in a few small braids wound around the nape of her neck. As for Aerin's hairstyle, she just wore her traditional braids. The braids meant a lot to Aerin. She said that for each victory achieved, a braid would be made in her hair and for each defeat suffered, all braids would be cut. Aerin had never cut a single braid before. I think that, just for this information, Otto Hightower should rethink his ideas, no? Back to the point, at the top of her silver waterfall, Aerin had a tiara of pure obsidian, curiously also given by Daemon. Aerin liked to spice things up, and what better way to do that than to challenge the King's power without the King himself noticing?

As the two climbed, Viserys made a short speech.

- Be welcome! I know many of you have traveled long leagues to be at these games. But I promise, you will not be disappointed. 

But, as on any other occasion, his speech was cut short when Aerin emerged. The people, together with some nobles, rose to their feet with shouts and whistles at the appearance of the Princess. The people had a huge adoration for Aerin, not just because she was the Mother of Dragons, no, from the moment when she was born the winter stopped abruptly, the story was passed down from generation to generation, making many think that the birth of Aerin was a sign from the Gods, an answer to their prayers for mercy. The entire city soon adopted Aerin as a source of devotion, they revered her, for she had brought the sun and rain, she had brought the crops and every source of food in the realm. She, was their goddess. Some even screamed.

- LONG LIVE THE MOTHER OF DRAGONS!

- HAIL!

Aerin immediately smiled, raising her arms. Behind her, Rhaenys and Corlys smiled along with Laenor and Laena who loved it when Aerin told them stories about Valerian, Queen of All Dragons. But, not everyone was happy, an example? Well, as usual, Otto Hightower. It was hard to see why he harbored such an ancient hatred for Aerin. But, I think it could be started by saying that he could never get the King to see the evil in Aerin. Let me explain. Aerin and Daemon, as we know, didn't have a relationship, let's say "normal", although their ancestors can't say much about it, but Otto always knew about these meetings and secrecy between the two. His spies, or little birds as he liked to call them, had filled him in on Aerin and Daemon's various customs several times. Otto tried to warn Jaehaerys about the matter, but the Old King never listened to him, there was nothing he could say that would spoil the affection Jaehaerys had for his favorite granddaughter. Now, Otto had tried to warn Viserys of Daemon and Aerin's relationship, but again, the King would have none of it. Aerin was his older sister and nothing was going to destroy Viserys's vision of her, of wisdom, of trust, of courage. Otto even thought that Aerin used some kind of witchcraft to bewitch Jaehaerys and then Viserys. But that theory was never proven, since, if she bewitched her grandfather and her brother, why didn't she put a spell on him so that he would stop bothering her? Furthermore, it was inconceivable to Otto that Viserys would not notice that Aerin wore a tiara. Not even Queen Aemma wore one! It was an outrage, a betrayal of the kingdom and the king himself, but no one seemed to care. Otto would never realize how Aerin always got away with whatever she did, but that's a topic for another time.

Finally, when Aerin sat down, in the front row, everyone else in the arena sat down with her. She turned back, beckoning Viserys to continue. Viserys waved back, silently thanking her. Viserys then continued. Meanwhile, Rhaenyra soon sat down on Aerin's right and Alicent's left.

- When I look at the fine knights in these lists, I see a group without equal in our histories. And this great day has been made more auspicious by the news that I am happy to share: Queen Aemma has begun her labors!

Aerin applauded and along with her the entire arena.

- May the of the Seven shine upon all combatants! - And the arena erupted in applause.

The jousting soon began and the shouting along with it. But Aerin couldn't care less than she already did.

- A mystery knight? - asked Rhaenyra.

- No, a Cole, of the Stormlands. - answered Alicent

- I've never heard of House Cole. 

- Neither have I - said Aerin.

Then a knight approached the bench. This one carried the shield of House Baratheon. Distant cousins of House Targaryen, by Princess Rhaenys.

 - Princess Rhaenys Targaryen! - he called - I would humbly ask for the favor of "The Queen Who Never Was."

- Good fortune to you, cousin.

-  I would gladly take it if I thought I needed it. - he replied, convinced.

Otto Hightower approached the King.

- You could have Baratheon's tongue for that. 

- Tongues will not change the succession. Let them wag. - retorted Viserys.

Rhaenyra and Alicent soon returned to their conversation.

- Lord Stokeworth's daughter is promised to that young Tarly squire. 

- Lord Massey's son? - asked Alicent.

- They're to be married as soon as he wins his knighthood. 

- Best get on with it. I heard that Lady Elinor is hiding a swollen belly beneath her dress.

The banners were soon changed. These indicated who would be the next combatants. The Baratheon banner was raised on the right and the Cole banner on the left.

The two knights soon crossed, Ser Baratheon being cut down by Cole. Looks like this one needed luck after all.

Rhaenyra, impressed, questioned Ser Harrold.

- What do you know about this Ser Criston Cole, Ser Harrold?

- I'm told Ser Criston is common-born, son of Lord Dondarrion's steward. But other than that, and the fact that he's just unhorsed both of the Baratheon lads, I really couldn't say. 

The drums with the Targaryen crest began to play again. The people started screaming. Soon the reason they were screaming would be explained. The Targaryen banner had also been raised. Daemon was about to fight. Now, Aerin paid attention to the joust.

- Prince Daemon of House Targaryen, Prince of the City, will now choose his first opponent! - Aerin looked at the combatants, none as powerful with a sword as Daemon was. This should be easy.

Daemon crossed the arena on his black steed to match his armor.

- For his first challenge, Prince Daemon chooses Ser Gwayne Hightower of Oldtown, eldest son of the Hand  of the King. - Of course, Daemon wasn't about to pass up an opportunity to humiliate House Hightower and anger the dear Hand.

Rhaenyra took Alicent's Hand. Of course this one was nervous. Daemon was the best knight in King's Landing, after Aerin, of course.

 - Five dragons on Daemon - Betting began, the first was Viserys.

- You have so little faith, my brother.  - Aerin commented. She looked at Otto as she smiled and said - Twenty dragons on Daemon.

Daemon looked up at the platform and smirked at Otto. He then looked down and saw Aerin. There she was in all her glory while wearing one of the dresses he himself had given her. Daemon, of course, smiled at her.

In the end, as predicted, Daemon won. He approached the platform as Aerin, Rhaenyra, and Alicent rose to their feet.

- Nicely done, Uncle. 

- Thank you, Princess. - Daemon replied. Aerin just smiled at him and waved. But before continuing, Aerin turned to Viserys.

- Viserys. - Aerin held out her hand, while smiling. The latter threw him a small bag of coins. Aerin turned to Daemon then.

- You bet on me? - He asked, falsely surprised.

- But of course. Twenty dragons.

- Now, I'm fairly certain I can win these games, Princess Aerin. Having the Mother of Dragons' favor would all but assure it. -Daemon wanted to pull Otto to his limits. He considered asking Alicent's favor but that would be too boring. And what better way to piss off Otto than to publicly show his appreciation for Aerin without it seeming romantic? Better was impossible. Rhaenyra just smiled at Daemon's attempt to piss off Otto. She knew about her uncles romance since she was just a child. She was sworn to secrecy, and secretly, she supported their relationship.

Aerin turned her back and took her favor as she looked into the eyes of Viserys and Otto. Her favor was made of red and black roses, decorated with golden dragons. A complete symbol of House Targaryen. She turned to Daemon and urged her favor as the people cheered and whistled. And then she dropped it onto Daemon's spear.

- Good luck, my Prince.

Aerin soon turned around and was just in time to see a Maester whisper something in Otto's ear and he did the same in Viserys's ear. This soon got up, only stopping to whisper in her ear.

- Take care of Rhaenyra.

- What? Why? What is going on? Viserys? Answer me. - But this one was already gone.

In her heart Aerin knew something was going on. She felt her chest heavy. Not even two seconds had passed when Aerin rose to follow Viserys. Otto tried to stop her. But it was in vain.

- Princess! The King has asked you to look after Princess Rhaenyra. You cannot-

- Do it yourself!

- But- Princess!

- Aunt Aerin? Is there something wrong?

Hearing Rhaenyra's voice, Aerin turned to her. She put her hands around Rhaenyra's face gently and said.

- Nothing is wrong, my dragon. Do not worry. I just need you to stay here and focus on Uncle Daemon so that when I get back you can tell me everything that happened, you understand?

- Okay.

Aerin broke into a run up the stairs of the Red Keep. Soon she heard Aemma's screams and knew something was wrong. The birth should have been over by now. Aerin soon entered and saw Aemma lying on the bed as she screamed with Viserys beside her.

- Aemma!

 - Aerin - shouted Aemma and Viserys in unison.

Aerin walked over to Aemma and sat beside her. But Viserys pulled her away.

- What are you doing here?

- I am taking care of my sister! - Aerin returned to sit beside Aemma.

- No no no. Please!

- It's okay Aemma. You will be fine.

While Aerin massaged Aemma's hair and soothed her, Viserys spoke to the Maesters.

- During a difficult birth, it sometimes becomes necessary for the father to make an impossible choice.

- Well, speak it.

- To sacrifice one or to lose them both. There is a chance that we can save the child. A technique is taught at the Citadel, wich involves cutting directly into the womb to free the infant. But the resulting blood loss-

- Seven Hells, Mellos. You can save the child?

- We must either act now or leave it with the gods.

- Viserys - Aemma called weakly.

- Yes? They're going to bring the baby out now. 

- What? How? - Aerin asked. But Viserys did not respond.

- I love you.

- What is happening? - asked Aemma, confused.

- No, it's all right. 

- Viserys? What are you doing? - Aerin tried to warn.

Aemma was getting more and more scared as was Aerin.

- Viserys!

Viserys nodded to the guards, who then grabbed Aerin by her arms and pulled her away from Aemma.

- Viserys, no! Please. Think again. STOP! VISERYS! - Aerin tried to free herself but had four guards grabbing her at once, she was at a clear disadvantage.

- NO! NO! NO! AERIN!

- AEMMA! VISERYS!

- I'm making the first incision. 

- VISERYS! - Aemma and Aerin's screams echoed in unison. - AEMMA! VISERYS STOP THIS MADNESS!

When Aerin saw Aemma stop screaming, she did, scream as she had never done in her life.

Valerian, sensing her rider's pain, roared with all her might. At the tournament, Valerian's roar was adopted as Daemon's victory badge, but that victory would not last long.

When the first cries were heard in the King's chambers, the guards finally released Aerin. She fell to her knees on the floor as tears streamed down her face.

When Daemon looked up at the platform, he finally noticed that Aerin was gone.

Aerin, when finally released, ran to Aemma, in the little hope that she had just lost consciousness. Aerin grabbed her face as she cried, trying to get her to wake up. But in vain. She was dead.

As she approached Aemma's body, Aerin had her dress covered in her blood. But this one didn't care. She was in pure shock. Her sister was dead.

- I hope you're happy. -Aerin said to Viserys, as she looked at Aemma's face. As she ran her hands through her hair one last time.

Meanwhile, at the tourney, Ser Criston had bested Daemon. And now this one claimed his reward, Rhaenyra's favor.

- I was hoping to ask for the Princess's favor.

- I wish you luck, Ser Criston. 

- Princess.

Aerin, coming to terms with Aemma's death, remembered the last thing she had asked of her: that she take care of Rhaenyra. Then, Aerin gave Aemma a final kiss on the forehead and left the room. She walked slowly through the corridors of the Red Keep. She was in no hurry to tell Rhaenyra about Aemma's death, but the time would come whether she wanted it or not.

That moment came faster than expected. When Aerin appeared Daemon and Ser Criston were still in the arena, no longer fighting, but still there. When Daemon looked at Aerin,he knew something was up. Something had made her eyes go cold, they no longer had the same sparkle as before. When Daemon saw the blood on Aerin's dress and hands, his eyes widened and he had a small idea of what had happened.

When Rhaenyra saw her uncle so taken aback, she immediately looked back to see Aerin desperately fighting back tears. With blood on her hands and dress and her hair a little out of place.

Aerin approached Rhaenyra and knelt in front of her. Without saying a word, Aerin embraced Rhaenyra, her mother's death sure to haunt her forever.

Rhaenyra, still not knowing what was going on, soon found out when she saw Otto arrive and whisper something in the ears of all the members of the Small Council.

--

It was the next day. But to Aerin and Rhaenyra it felt like a hundred years had passed. Aemma's presence no longer cheered the Red Keep.

Syrax was above a hill while Valerian circled the skies. Beneath that very hill they all gathered around the funeral pyre of Aemma and Baelon, yes, Viserys had borne a son, just as he wanted, but he had only lived for an hour, suffocating on the very air. To Aerin, that just meant the karma was real, but she would never say that out loud, out of respect for Rhaenyra and Aemma's memory.

They were all silent, none daring to utter a single word.

- They're waiting for you. - Daemon said, behind Rhaenyra, next to Aerin.

- Nyke pendagon lo, isse lī dorolvie jēda ñuha lēkia glaestan, ñuha kepa mōrī jiōraton biarves (I wonder if, during those few hours my brother lived, my father finally found happiness.)

- Aōha kepa jorrāelagon ao, tolī sir than ziry mirre ēza (Your father needs you, more now than he ever has.) - Daemon tried

- Kesan dōrī sagon iā tresy (I will never be a son.)

Aerin just watched the scene. Staring intently at the pyre of Aemma and Baelon. That reminded her of something. A memory from when she was just eight and Daemon was three. Daemon was still a baby in arms when Alyssa, mother of the three, had died, along with their brother Aegon.

Aerin remembered how her childhood faded from that moment on, never to return. Aerin, eight years old at her mother's death, was the woman of the family and soon realized her duty to care for Viserys and Daemon. Aerin was a child who had been forced to grow up and mature quickly. Far too quickly.

Rhaenyra inched closer to the pyre. She looked at Syrax. She was the only one

Rhaenyra inched closer to the pyre. She looked at Syrax. She was the only descendant of the King. The "dracarys" had to come from her. Rhaenyra tried. But Aemma's death weighed heavily on her. She couldn't. She turned to Aerin, who had 'woken up'. Aerin nodded and soon Rhaenyra stepped back and hugged her, tears covering Aerin's dress immediately.

- Dracarys, Syrax. (Dragonfire, Syrax) - Aerin ordered, and soon the dragon descended the hill and burned the pyre.

Hamefura Pokémon AU

This is an idea I have been working for a long while. It was inspired by @dulcito-on-ao3 ‘s fanfic Cute and Fluffy! and @logo-comics Fortune Lover Pokémon DLC prompt.

This crossover is an AU where Fortune Lover was an otome game/pókemon game fusion. Maybe something like Scarlet and Violet where the protagonist goes to the Academy and you can choose one of several storylines to follow. The events of FL 2 could be added to beef up the plot.

Here are some important notes:

Edit: @famousnintendopokemonlamp made a point that it’s odd for Eevee to only bond with mages. I changed that and made it so that they are just rare in the wild.

Edit 2: Switched Sandslash in Keith’s Team for Phanpy since I thought it fitted him better. Added Fidough to Maria’s Team.

Edit 3: Mary’s Tropius is a gift from Alan.

After discussing it with @dulcito-on-ao3 I decided that the setting will be modern but still retaining the noble society elements. Meaning that Sorcier is still a kingdom with nobility but they have access to modern technology like Pokédex’s, Rotom Phones, etc.

The Pokémon take the place of Magical Creatures. Normal animals still exist in this world because I don’t want the implication that humans eat Pokémon.

While Pokémon exist all over this world, they are most common in the Kingdom of Sorcier. Researchers think it’s because Sorcier has more magic than anywhere else so Pokémon are attracted to it - because they are Magical Creatures in this setting.

While magic is still mainly found on nobles, both nobles and commoners can become Pokémon Trainers. But, Pokémon Trained by mages are usually stronger than those Trained by non-mages, especially those Pokémon with typing that are compatible with their Trainer’s magic.

Mages whose Magic Element is compatible to a Pokémon typing can boost the power that Pokémon with their magic.

Eevee is a special Pokémon in Sorcier as they are very rare in the wild, so dedicated breeders exist. Even amongst nobles they are uncommon and are often a regarded as a symbol of great status, especially if they are evolved. The characters who have one are:

Katarina Claes - Shiny Eevee that later evolves into a Shiny Umbreon. Was a gift from her father.

Maria Campbell - regular Eevee that later evolves into an Espeon. By chance she found a wild Eevee and befriended it.

The Princes - Gerald (a small and fluffy Flareon); Alan (a Glaceon): Ian (an Espeon); Geoffrey (a large Vaporeon)

Selena Burke - shy Eevee wearing an Everstone but later gains confidence and evolves into a Sylveon.

Noelia Flores - a Flareon. One of her few evolved Pokémon.

Katarina’s Pokémon know about her past life and support her on her plans to avoid doom.

Katarina remembering her past life is part of a plan that the Legendary Pokémon Ho-oh and Celebi came up with.

Almost all of Katarina’s Pokémon are Shiny. The in-game explanation was to show how privileged and spoiled Villainess Katarina was by having a team consisting of rare Shiny Pokémon.

The Pokémon League equivalent is called The Pokémon Tourney. It was originally exclusive to nobles but for the last 100 years, commoners have been allowed to participate.

Trainers must be at least 15 years old to participate.

To qualify, they need to earn at least eight Honours (aka Badges) by battling against the Arena Champions, the ‘Gym Leaders’ of this setting (Arena Champion comes from Champion/Championne d'Arène, the French term used for Gym Leaders).

The Evil Team is called Team Dark. Members include Marchioness Dieke, Sora (later deserted), and Sarah. Team Dark seeks conquer Sorcier and use Pokémon to rule the world. Most members use Dark Type Pokémon.

This AU is GeoKata endgame, at least with how I’m writing it.

Here are the main Pokémon Teams of the main characters:

Katarina Claes

Shiny Eevee/Shiny Umbreon ♂ (Nickname: Biscuit) - starter/first Pokémon; he evolved into Umbreon after Katarina awakened from her Dark Magic coma.

Shiny Ekans/Shiny Arbok (Nickname: Noodle) - found it injured in her field and nursed to health; represents Katarina’s toy snakes.

Shiny Pumpkaboo/Shiny Gourgeist (Nickname: Pumpkin) - found in the woods near the Royal Villa; represents Katarina’s farming.

Shiny Pawniard/Shiny Bisharp (Nickname: Blue) - gifted by Gerald on her 16th birthday; represents Katarina’s sword fighting.

Poochyena (Nickname: Pochi) - found during the Keith’s Kidnapping equivalent event. This Poochyena has darker fur than a regular Poochyena, being almost black; it is the result of Team Dark’s experiments to empower Dark Type Pokémon; similar to a Shadow Pokémon but without “the door to it’s heart” closed. It represents Katarina’s Dark Magic and canon Pochi.

Absol (Nickname: Vanilla) - found during the equivalent of the mission where Sarah has a Dragon Dark Familiar; represents Katarina’s “knowledge of future events and desire to prevent her doom.

Other Pokémon Katarina has are: Shiny Galarian Yamask found in the ruins used for the practical exam; Shiny Flygon found as a Trapinch during a visit to the Adeth Duchy.

Gerald Stuart

Flareon ♀ (Nickname: Fluffy) - starterfirst Pokémon; smaller and fluffier than the average Flareon, making it extremely cute; knows Scary Face. Represent show Geordo looks like a handsome fairy tale prince but has a hidden, sadistic/scary side.

Bisharp - a knight Pokémon to protect royalty

Aegislash - in reference to Gerald using a sword

Charizard - I thought it would be cool if Gerald rode on this Pokémon.

Litleo - a birthday gift from Katarina; lions are a symbol of royalty

Tyrantrum - another royal Pokémon; red body with golden crest match Gerald's colors

Keith Claes

Tyranitar - starter; originally a Larvitar he befriended before being adopted by the Claes; small Pokémon that grows big and powerful, like how Keith was a timid kid that grew confident

Cottonee - Something small and cute because Keith is so precious

Golurk - a reference to Keith's Earth golems

Garchomp - caught as a Gible during a visit to the Adeth Duchy; a connection with Millidiana who has Dragon-Types

Bonsly/Sudowoodo  - another tiny cutie; it grows tall and lanky and looks like a Grass-Type, referencing how Keith helps Katarina with her farm

Phanpy/Donphan - yet another tiny cutie that grows into a powerful Pokémon

Mary Hunt

Lilligant - starter/first Pokémon; an elegant Pokémon and it even wears a flower on its head like Mary

Roserade - another elegant Pokémon

Vespiquen - because Mary is like a queen, plus it is good for her plants

Meganium - another good Pokémon to have in a garden since its breath can revive plants

Tropius - a gift from Alan. I just added this one because it grows fruit on its neck.

Serperior - another regal Pokémon; I think Mary would get a Snivy in response to Katarina getting her Ekans

Alan Stuart

Glaceon ♂ (Nickname: Gliss) - starter/first Pokémon; he chooses to evolve his Eevee into a Glaceon instead of a Vaporeon to stand out.

Gyarados - originally a Magikarp represents how Alan went from feeling inferior to Geordo to finding his strengths.

Lapras - it sings enchanting melodies.

Primarina - a birthday gift from Mary; another Pokémon that sings

Kricketune - another musical Pokémon

Shiny Tyrantrum - a royal Pokémon; the shiny is blue with a silver crest, so the colors match Alan.

Sophia Ascart

Gardevoir - starter/first Pokémon; it has red eyes like Sophia, and it's part Fairy-type representing Sophia’s dream of being a fairy.

Shiny Phantump - red-and-white colors

White Flower Flabebe - white color matches her hair

Togetic - white color; part Flying-type to match her Wind Magic

Clefairy - another fairy; people say this Pokemon came from the moon so it connects to Sophia being a reincarnation from “out of this [Sorcier] world”

Galarian Ponyta/Rapidash - it’s an unicorn! What kind of girl who loves stories wouldn’t want an Unicorn?

Nicol Ascart

Swanna - starter/first Pokémon - swans are beautiful but dangerous; Nicol is gorgeous, and I headcanon that you don't want to make him angry

Noctowl - represents how smart he is

Corviknight - dark plumage like how Nicol has dark hair

Chatot - ironic because Nicol is a quiet person

Liepard - in reference to the dream of being a cat

Shinx -  because Nicol dealing with an energetic kitty is funny

I also have this funny idea that Nicol has several other cat Pokémon

Maria Campbell

Sylveon ♀ (Nickname: Caramel) - starter/first Pokémon; wild Pokémon that bonded with her after she discovered her magic. Fairy-Type is the closest thing to Light. (It was originally an Espeon due to it being Umbreon’s counterpart).

Teddiursa (Nickname: Alexander) - meet during Keith’s Kidnapping equivalent event; represent canon Alexander

Audino - a Pokémon used by healers

Pikachu - Maria is the protagonist of FL, like how Ash is Pokémon's

Alcremie (Ruby Cream form) - represents Maria's baking skills; Ruby Cream form because pink is Maria’s color.

Fidough - another representation of Maria’s baking skills, this time bread instead of sweets.

Raphael Walt/Sirius Dieke

Shuppet (Nickname: Orion) - starter/first Pokémon; it was Sirius' Pokémon initially; it knows what happened and bonded with Raphael because it saw how sad and lonely he was. It absorbs negative emotions so it would try to help Raphael.

Phantump - may or may not be the original Sirius Dieke; has some unusual coloration: red leaves and gray eyes.

Sableye - A Dark/Ghost Type to match his Dark magic and how a vengeful spirit possesses him

Mismagius - the spirit of Raphael's mother; has unusual coloring: red accents and gray eyes

Polteageist (Antique Form) - represent his love of tea

Cofagrigus - Dark Mage that killed his mother reborn as this Pokémon
