#and all kinds of sappy star related nicknames

[innytoes]

Happy birthday @invisibleraven

The problem with soulmate dreams was that they could be so damn vague. Reggie dreamed of stars. Stars, and sparkles, supernovas he could get lost in, warm sparkling glitter he could trail his fingers through, that tinkled like piano notes when he touched them. He always woke up feeling warm, and happy, and loved.

Well, at least it was better than Alex, who dreamed of crashes. No wonder the poor guy had anxiety.

Sometimes, Reggie wondered if his true love was an astronaut. But then, what astronaut would want a schmuck like him, walking dogs while trying to get their band off the ground. For a short while, he thought for sure the handsome baker at the coffee shop was his true love, his soulmate. Why else would he always put little star sprinkles on his donuts? Until he introduced Reggie to his wife, Estrella.

Reggie kind of gave up after that. He didn’t want to mess up again and lose something more important than a great coffee shop because he was too embarrassed to go back. What if his next not-soulmate worked at the music store and he got it in his head they were the one because they got a tattoo with a star, or something?

It was going to happen when it was going to happen, he thought. That’s how soulmates worked. No point worrying about it.

So he wasn’t looking anymore, that New Year’s Eve. They’d booked a killer gig in the Trevor Wilson’s mansion. Sadly, as Reggie discovered on Instagram, Trevor Wilson himself wasn’t going to be there, off at some Hollywood party, but his daughter’s band was doing a thing too and Alex loved them from the second Reggie showed him the videos.

So they played their gig, and Alex danced along to Dirty Candi, and apparently he was so enthusiastic they were invited to stay instead of having to scram before midnight. Hey, who were they to turn that down? So Alex got to dance and Luke got to gape at all the pretty guitars hung on the wall and Reggie got to... well, he wasn’t sure yet. He avoided the drinks stations with actual real life mixologists, though he did score some wicked awesome snacks. There didn’t seem to be a dog or a cat he could befriend (his go-to at parties), so he made his way outside. He bet the view of the fireworks would be killer out here. Rich people probably had all kinds of illegal stuff, and you could see pretty far along the coast from here.

Two girls were messing around with sparklers outside, trying to make a heart with them while the other took their picture. Then they swapped. Reggie tried not to be a creep, but he did crane his neck just a little to see how it had turned out on the girl with the braids’ phone.

Except she caught him, and pointed at him. He was about to stammer an apology, when she said: “Hey, pretty boy, can you take our picture?”

“Oh, uh, sure!” he said, fumbling as she shoved the phone at him. He waited until they both lit their sparklers again, and grinned when they each made half a heart. “That was awesome!” he called, showing them the picture. “You nailed it on the first try.”

The girls high-fived. The one with the curly hair bit her lip, smiling. “In that case, we have some sparklers left over. You want one?”

Alex would kill him for playing with fireworks. He wanted to say he was banned after The Firecracker Incident when they were fourteen, but it was just a sparkler, right? Besides, he wanted to look cool in front of these cute girls. “Sure!”

He took a sparkler, beaming when the girl lighted her own first, holding it out for Reggie to light his.

When their sparklers touched, Reggie... well, later he would say that he saw stars. All of a sudden he felt warm, and happy, and loved. All of a sudden, he understood all his soulmate dreams. All of a sudden, he didn’t just see stars, he felt them, inside of him, sparkling and shining and burning bright like a supernova. 

He looked up at the girl in front of him, so beautiful in the fading glow of their sparklers. “It’s you,” he breathed.

“You’re... you’re my soulmate,” she whispered, before flinging herself at him, catching him in a hug. He hugged her back, laughing, spinning her around, feeling the stars bubbling up inside him, dancing around them, her giggle tinkling like piano notes.

Now that he understood his soulmate dreams, he wouldn’t have them any other way. Julie was his star, burning bright, guiding him home, making him feel warm, and happy, and loved. She was his soulmate.

Names I think UA students would call their S/O

Note: I’m not into what other fan content creators make so sorry if I happen to suggest some that they already suggested or made a thing in the fandom. This is just an excuse for me to cry over these characters like none of this should be taken seriously except for maybe Sato's one 😅

Kirishima: very sweet almost a lil cringey but he's a manly man so he doesn't care. Something like diamond, rocky road, my rock (and you reply back my roll 😭) baby girl/baby boy/baby boo, my ruby,

If you're much softer he may also call you my rose, petal, fluffer/fluffy/fluff ... something cute that shows off how precious and delicate he sees you compared to him

Bakugou: He'll call you by your name most of the time, he likes it, it sounds nice to him and it's not "mushy"

If you guys have the dynamic he may also call you bitch, dumbass, idiot, but you have to call him that back too, rile him up a bit for funsies. He lowkey loves it when you clapback. If he's feeling soft you may hear my cherry bomb, spice bun, hottie if he's feeling flirty or just a simple babe.

Midoriya : Precious baby keeping it classic, expect a lot of my love and angel, but also some special ones like my number one, my strength and lucky charm. If he's feeling flirty he'll deffo call you cutie.

"Hey cutie-" BYEEEE

Todoroki: Another sweetheart that predominantly calls you by your name, he loves saying it, but during the colder months he may get a little creative especially around holidays like Christmas, may have heard about the mistletoe tradition and realised he likes kissing you so why not call you mistletoe? Or maybe one Valentine's day it snowed and he calls you snowflake? Not as a boomer/incel insult but because you're one of a kind to him and so pretty...

Jirou: If you're in public it's just your name abbreviated in a cute way or maybe a hun or my dear because bless her she's a little bit shy, she makes up for it with some pda, I promise. And when you're alone it's cute things like melody, songbird if you two like to sing together, my dream, reverie (music students rejoice) or my one and only. Please shower my pop star with affection.

Sero: I love the Latino headcanons so much 🥺 but I feel like he'd only call you angelito/angelita, cielito/cielita if you also speak Spanish too. Mi Amor definitely. If he's feeling a lil flirty you'd hear mami/papi/bebecita/bebecito. Otherwise it's classic names like sugar and babygirl/babyboy/baby

Okay, hear me out... he's a bit of a comedian and a little cheeky, like I feel when he's tryna tease you or be a dork to make you squirm he'd say stick-icky (coz you know... tape. And it's also an innuendo) or shawty /mamas but in a forced voice to make you laugh

"Mmm... my sticky icky, what's up shawty?"

*insert f-boi pose and lipbite* 😂

Iida: Very high class, worships the ground you walk on. Wants you to feel special everytime he talks to you. Expect darling, my light, princess/prince, my queen/king, my love... when he wants to make you laugh he acts all chivalrous and in a bad old english voice says m'lady/m'lord. Calls you my precious but not in a gollum voice, he's actually head over heels in love with you, it'd so sincere you have to melt.

"Y/n, my precious darling..." Excuse me while I cry-

Asui: Raindrop. That’s it and that’s all we need. Tsu pls pat my head and call me raindrop. I will walk through fire to be called raindrop 🥺

Kaminari: Very quirk related and cringey too but it's okay when it comes from him. Flash, my lil' hot wire, amp, pika + chu (he calls you one and you call him the other 🥺) bolt/lil'bolt and omg... baby cakes would be so cute too oof.

Also, I feel like Denki (and Mirio!) would be the type of boyfriend to use those really sappy nicknames. You know, the pookie bear and shnookums type of guys. Big time simp who just wants to love you.

Aoyama: Super flashy and daring, doesn’t care where or when, he wants the world to know you’re his love. Expect names like star, sparkle, my sweet flower, diamond, my jewel, showgirl/showboy 🤩 if you’re into lotr he may joke around and say my precious. May flex his language and call you mon cheri, bambino mon trésor... very cosmopolitan and honestly it’s what you deserve, baddie with a well dressed, princely boy. 

Hagakure: Sis is bold and speaks her mind. Shes calling you sexy and there's nothing you can do about it. She's calling you Pumpkin. Very cute, endearing and on brand with my good sis.

Tokoyami: Okay here me out. I don't think he's big on nicknames. He does however show his affection through writing. His penmanship? Immaculate.

He's the type to leave notes and letters using profound, beautiful and sometimes macabre imagery and metaphors to describe how he feels about you and how he sees you. He may not call you baby all the time but you'll get a note from him comparing your beauty to that of a full moon or how his soul is drowning in a river that is his own obsession with you and he awaits the day his soul is no longer drowning and just peacefully engulfed in you (I'm no poet, but like imagine a very deep goth guy making you feel like a god amongst mortals because of how much they love you, that's the vibe we going for)

That being said. If you want a nickname of course he'll choose one for you. It’ll be something kinda gothic but romantic. Maybe a little poetic that echoes victorian/edwardian romance, something like dark one, belladonna/nightshade, my phantom, my shadow, my rose, bat, raven, nebula (dark and fathomless) baby goth (if you consider yourself one), moonlight, my adored girl/boy/darling... I may or may not be obsessed with this edgelord.

Koda: Cute pet names, prolly critter related like bunny, kitty (not kitten, kitty is cute), angel, bluebird, baby bear, dove, ladybug (you prolly had encountered one and it shook him to his core only to later realise how pretty they are), bambi and bub. My shy baby is too pure for this world oof 😭

Shoji: Prefers to call you by your name, he likes it. Sometimes you'll get classic nicknames but coming from him they sound so genuine and special. Princess/Prince, love, beauty/beautiful, pretty... he really thinks you’re gorgeous, like he’s always just looking at you ready to protect your smile

Yaoyorozu: Darling. Classy, chic and adorable. Like miss Momo herself. Or maybe a bougie dessert like Éclair. Or First Lady/First Gentlemen/First Consort since you're rocking with the president. You get a bossed up title too.

Amajiki: Whimsical and precious names like pixie, my little butterfly (i would swallow a pair of jeans with no water to hear him say that), fairy, nymph... if you have ears similar to his maybe he’d call you elf... If he’s feeling really soft you may hear angel, cherub or my love when you’re cuddling or alone together... oof I adore this boy. 

Togata: Very cheesy and dumb but I can imagine him singing million dollar pussay /bussay in the Nicki Minaj voice if you guys are on that wavelength and make jokes like that, he’ll do anything to see that smile of yours, even make a fool of himself. Otherwise it’s bright and cheerful nicknames like sunshine, sunflower, my summer, morning star, aurora, hot stuff, bee, and super sappy ones like sunny bunny and schmoopy-kins and omg... cuddlebug.

Sato: Baker boy names his beloved after treats like sweetie pie, honeybun, sugar, sweets, cupcake, pastelito, bon-bon... I feel like if nobody’s around, he’s gonna call you things like juicy baby, squishy, my cloud... just spewing out how good you feel when he holds you. He looks like a hugger and a good one at that.

Shinso: Real sweet and personal, darling, my little zombie (arised once when he accidentally used his quirk on you and stuck), pretty, kitty, the classic babe, if you give off the vibe then probably a flower name like a very specific one and only that flower. May also try my voice every now and then.

Ashido: Bubbly and playful nicknames that just put a spring in your step like sweetie, baby, bubbles, cutiepie.

She's also got a sense of humour... she may tease you with baddie with a fattie, or gas you up with queen/king (it's what you deserve, wear Mina's love like a crown) And you know she'd call you zaddy just to get you to laugh, usually followed by a wink. And yes zaddy is gender neutral.

Mashirao: Simple and cute names like BB, Bae, love, champ, beautiful...idk why but I feel like he'd make a unique nickname based on your name and something about you, something nobody else calls you too 💓

Uraraka: Classic ones like Honey and Sweetie but also some quirky ones like Space girl/boy/love, supernova and my alien. I know she prolly wants to call Deku my lil astronaut but has no idea how yet.

Mineta: What wouldn't he call you? Okay lemme be nice... Baby. Hottie. He's gonna seriously say Kitten instead of Kitty I just know it...

Bonus!! - Inasa: Passionate and quirk related as he should! My breath, my air, my oxygen, lil' cloud, cloudbaby, my wife/husband/endgame, zephyr, summer breeze, whisp, breezy, literal love of my life... and you know he's not going to settle with one. You will be hearing a mix of them all until the end of time. He's so excited and loves expressing how he feels about you. Let my big baby do what he does best.

The Bros as Dads

PSA: The boys would be very attractive dads (emotionally and physically). That is all.

Note: the headcanon also includes genders for the kids. I can see some of them having sons, and others having daughters. And, obviously, everyone is older (20′s-ish).

Lucifer

Takes a while to process the news. It’s kind of a big thing. His love life was something of a roller coaster (or nonexistent) until you. The ‘L’ word was a hurdle, now there’s a B word and a P word?!

When his brain realizes what you’ve said or if you show him some proof, the pride takes over FULL SWING (you can feel it explode in him, like his aura) and he purrs

You are truly his stars, his moon, and the heavens he so dearly misses

There’s this raw, vulnerable love in Lucifer’s eyes and it pretty much awes everyone because he’s usually so proper and reserved

The memories are old and dusty but Lucifer’s parenting instincts are strong

A type-A, fussy person. You may have 7 months left before you give birth, but the house will be spotless and perfectly proofed before you hit bed rest

Piles of parenting books suddenly sprout around the house. No one’s sure where they came from or how there’s even that many WRITTEN about parenting.

You and the child become his world. You’re his kryptonite, the only thing to convince him away from long hours or break him out of sour moods

Lucifer is very stressed, more than he thought he’d be, because you’re carrying his child and he worries for your health.

He’s with you every step of the way, from appointments to birth

He’d absolutely drop everything to tend to your needs, or appoint one of the brothers if he couldn’t.

Likes to busy himself with making a nursery and is actually good at themes/interior decorating

Has a tiny desk built in his study. The child won’t be able to join him for a while, but the idea of his tiny joy working on something beside him warms his heart

Hunts down obscure herbs and items from folklore that are supposed to bless pregnancies or benefit the unborn. Turns out he’s really nervous and superstitious.

Lucifer is the worst when it comes to shopping because his pride outweighs his logical restraint. If he convinces himself IN THE SLIGHTEST that his child would look good in something or the nursery could really use an item, it’s coming to the House of Lamentation

He ugly cries when he realizes you’re having a girl because he feels like Lilith has been given back to him.

Refuses to name his child Lilith because of everything that happened. Can’t settle for anything close to her name or any nicknames they gave her.

Makes you a sleeping space in his study. Loves to take breaks to watch you sleep. Unintentionally takes a break to kiss your stomach and talk to the baby.

Firm believer in ‘in the belly’ enrichment so you’ll have music playing and Lucifer will read to them all the time.

If the baby’s not with you, she’s with him. Lucifer has definitely shown up to a meeting with Lord Diavolo with his baby in a chest carrier. The meeting went flat because Diavolo wanted to play with the baby.

He’s the type of dad that demands total silence when the baby’s sleeping. Might have tied up some of his brothers to achieve it.

He’s not a total hard-ass (this kid has made a sucker out of him, okay?) but his kid will definitely have manners and knows to help clean up.

The type to take naps with his kid. He’ll get up at 2 in the morning and climb into their crib if they’re fussy.

Lucifer spent so much of his life being the primary caretaker for his bros that he forgets he’s not alone this time. When you push him back down so he can sleep, and tend to your daughter, his heart almost bursts with love.

On the fence about another child. The kid’s going to have pride in spades and he thinks a sibling will humble them (and make them less lonely). He’s also afraid of that prideful wrath and doesn’t want two prideful little demons always fighting

Isn’t the best with dressing up his kid but likes to give them fancy shoes. The shoes are always on point even if the rest of the outfit is a disaster.

Is 100% ready to receive any and everything “#1 Dad” because he IS, DAMN IT. He’ll use it regularly, too.

Mammon

He’s freaking out hardcore (”You sure? Really, really sure? Maybe you just have gas or something. Y-yeah!”)

Doesn’t believe it until he sees a test. Promptly faints. Dead-ass faints as soon as he sees it.

Kind of remembers it when he wakes up, and you have to remind him again.

This time he’s pretty excited because THE GREAT MAMMON will be having a child. WHAT A GIFT, RIGHT? THE BEST GIFT!

All the magazines are snapping up this gossip and, for once in his life, he puts the earnings away. Kid has a nice fund going before they’re even born.

His schedule is 50% work, 50% family because YOUR MAIN MAN HAS TO BE THERE. Work just pays the bills and pads the nursery account, okay?

The Devildom has something similar to a baby shower and Mammon puts all KINDS of high-dollar shit on there. His baby’s going to be stylin’, okay?

Some crying in front of others, but an entirely different kind of crying behind closed doors. Vulnerable, grateful crying about being loved and having a tiny someone who will love him, too

Pays someone to explain baby stuff to him. How to change them, feed them, what type of breathing you should be doing. It surprised his bros because Lucifer could just give him that info. The fact that Mammon paid for it means he’s pretty serious about learning.

Gets tons of free maternity photos because all his magazines want the scoop. He gets to pamper you and see you all dressed up and beautiful and EVERY magazine has a shot of him crying like a proud sap.

Mammon hoards all of those pictures. Has a pile of them in his room, totally separate from everything else.

Has a lot of nervous energy and can get frustrated with all the baby books, so he distracts himself with scrap-booking. Surprisingly good at it.

Mammon thinks you’re just the most beautiful thing ever. He loves taking pictures of you. Wants the kid to have no doubts about how much he loves them and their parent.

He’s so lovesick. When you sleep or hug your belly or just touch it he melts.

Stacks Grimm on your belly when you sleep. Thinks it’s fun. Likes to record how big the towers get.

Not the best at getting up for your random-hour cravings and has definitely made you cry with his bluntness. When he’s more awake he’ll apologize and you guys will work it out.

When he finds out he’s having a little boy, the bros throw a party. Mammon gets semi-drunk and has a huge, ass-chewing lecture about how the bros made him feel for centuries and how they better not say ANYTHING like that to his kid.

You shot down any and all attempts to name the kid anything money related.

Almost passed out when you had the baby.

Cried when he first held him. Calls him Mamm-mini.

Totally planning the baby’s first photo shoot. Has people on standby to make matching outfits.

He now has a partner in crime and the kid can charm the pants off of anyone!

Mammon is 100% devoted to this kid and he secretly hopes he’s the favorite parent.

Lives for any second of bonding he can get. NEEDS IT TO LIVE. 100% a sappy dad.

The most supportive dad, always saying nice things because he knows people didn’t always say nice things about him.

Levi

Brain stops working. You almost think you’ve given him a heart attack

Levi feels you take the controller from his hand and instantly has to fill it with something else, taking yours. He looks at you and asks you again if you’re sure.

He can see it in your eyes and he just crows. He doesn’t know if he’s excited or scared but he made the noise.

Worries A LOT about the idea of becoming a father. Can gross otakus be good fathers? How does he dad?

Gets pre-stressed about social interactions. Kids have to go to school and have play-dates and Levi’s going to have to talk to people...ugh! Gross!

Definitely has a few break-downs (feelings of inadequacy, etc.) before Lucifer or Satan comfort him. He’s better than he thinks, just insecure. Everyone learns as they go. They have classes (”They’re like cheat codes, Levi.”) and it makes him feel better

His gaming friends send their congratulations and he gets lots of themed blankets and onesies.

Wants you to have a water birth because the water is his child’s calling. Really attached to the idea.

He’s constantly looking up guides to baby-proofing, double- and triple-checking safety specs of anything before buying it.

Spends HOURS scouring Akuzon, comparing brands, and reading reviews for everything.

Akuzon noticed he was buying lots of baby books and looking at baby-related things so they sent him a onesie.

You get a lovely beach/water-themed maternity shoot and Levi is so love-struck he gets a nosebleed. Once he’s cleaned up it makes a darling photo shoot.  

Has already made lists of anime for the kid to watch. Some are his favorite, some are for the lessons and moments that stuck with him

Asmo messaged TSL on the down-low and Levi got some quality kid-sized merch.

Tries to get you to name the baby Henry if it’s a boy. When he finds out it’s a girl, he pushes for Henrietta.

Reads TSL to the baby and plays ocean sounds.

As you get further along in your pregnancy, he buys a fridge for his room and stocks it with your favorite cold stuff. Any snack foods are just added to his stash.

You are absolutely worshipped. Craving something? Akuzon has it and the fastest pig is on it’s way. Your feet hurt? Try a water bath!

You’re his Player 2 now and forever (always have been), and he’s keeping you in perfect health.

Probably keeps a video journal for the kid or of the two of you during your pregnancy. Big on preserving stuff digitally.

Probably makes a game for his kid just because. They’ll be able to play it when they’re older.

Bought a ton of Magical Girl-style hairbows and things for when their hair grows in. His daughter’s a fucking princess, okay?

Belphegor bought the baby a goldfish onesie and Levi loves it to pieces.

Bought the baby a seashell bassinet and rocks them to sleep with his tail.

Levi has a bad sleep schedule and wakes easily, so he’s usually the first one to get up and handle the baby.

He has this complex about being a good dad. People can call him a weird, gross otaku but they’re ALSO going to mention how good of a dad he is!

Super affectionate with his kid in a quiet, whispering, mumbling way. Just thinks they’re the best thing.

Having a daughter really makes him rethink some of the ways he viewed anime characters and made him super critical. If his daughter ends up liking anime he’ll make it very clear what he thinks and how she shouldn’t let other people treat her like an object. 

His demon form gets triggered REALLY EASILY if his bros hold her for too long. THAT’S HIS BABY, THANK YOU!

Satan

Secretly hoped to be a father one day. Wanted to prove so badly that he could be one, and move past the constant fear of his temper looming over him. He didn’t want wrath to be his only legacy.

Can’t manage more than a genuine smile and a lilting laugh when you tell him, but he’s literally almost sick with joy. He’s just not the type to jump from the rooftops or anything

Asmodeus and Mammon convince him into drinking because he needs to let loose and really show it!

Satan ends up drunk-stumbling to Lucifer and plunking his head into his chest and crying. He’s crying because he’s happy and mumbling something about ‘granddad’. When his tears dry he’s happy as can be, smugly calls Lucifer an ‘old fuck’ and promptly throws up.

They’re past most of their bad blood but even Lucifer wasn’t surprised Satan never got EVERYTHING out of his system. A lot of his childhood memories are tainted with pure wrath instead of coming into his cardinal sin through some other mean. Or naturally, like puberty.

Between his personal research and Lucifer’s expertise, the baby-proofing is totally covered.

His book binges are strictly about pregnancies, suspicions, rituals, parenting, and anything he can think of that has to do with kids.

He’s big on teas and brews that are supposed to help with pregnancies and pains. Uses his many connections to get ingredients for said teas

Reads the classics and big epics to his unborn child.

Buys you some Hellcats for protection. They’re fiercely loyal, so he’ll know you’re safe.

He’d be the type to nag you about your diet, but not to be mean. He’d support it with this absolute WALL of evidence that turns into a lecture that could last for hours.

Has to fight the Hellcats to sit next to you or touch your belly a lot more than he thought he would. He’d never say it out loud, but he’s starting to hate the cats (he doesn’t mean it though).

Starts cleaning up his book piles a lot more. The baby would get hurt if the stacks fell on them. His room becomes virtually spotless.

You pick books to read together. You end up reading Satan to sleep, too. He keeps a hand on your belly.

Gets nervous about you wanting to go out, and basically tries to keep you in the House of Lamentation. Relents a little because hormones make you scary. He was basically afraid of nothing because the walks were fine.

You like to sit in the Devildom gardens and he thinks you look picturesque and wonderful. It takes his breath away.

Asmodeus is your personal photographer because Satan doesn’t think anyone else will do you justice.

Finds out you’re having boy-girl twins and totally shuts down. What does he say? How does he respond? BELPHIE OR BEEL WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE TWINS! WHY HIM?!

Lucifer is BEYOND amused. This is definitely payback for everything Satan did in his childhood (so the saying goes).

It doesn’t bother him as much when he starts buying smart little cardigans, button-ups, ribbons, and bowties. He’s actually quite happy.

The Hellcats act weird and tip him off to your contractions before your water breaks. Satan gets you to the hospital and helps you give birth. The twins grow to look more like him than you, but if someone mistakes you for the nanny or says something derogatory, he’s pulling two ferocious kids off an idiot

Satan was afraid he’d be a short fuse, but he becomes the parent that explains everything to death (for better or worse). The kids will get a lecture when they’re bad, when the ask ‘why’ to something, he’ll explain why he gave the punishment he did, and be very clear with anything.

Asmodeus

Quickly falls in love with the idea of you being pregnant. It’s the best! Proof of his truest love, the thing that makes his heart beat!

He loved you to pieces before you were pregnant, and loves you even more now (if that’s possible).

Always wants to be with you, smothering your belly with kisses and touches and looking at it like it’s the next greatest love of his life

Takes names very seriously. “My child is a gift unto this world. People will know their name, so it has to be a good one!”

Gets really wrapped up in decor and aesthetic. He’d be a one-man force for all of it if you didn’t tell him to stop and breathe! Asmodeus just has lots of ideas, okay?

Has a really hard time understanding the value of baby-proofing until Satan smushes a few of his lipsticks in his hand and knocks around some finishing powder (”Now imagine that. All the time. With anything you love.”). 

Hires someone to baby-proof the room because that’s just not his thing. He’ll handle securing the valuables, okay?

Constantly reading about beauty rituals and things to do for his pregnant wife. She’s doing something really hard and deserves to be pampered!

You’ll constantly be pampered or trying ‘this and that’ because he read it was good for the baby. Good for beauty, good for health, etc.

Has a pretty decent diet, himself, and keeps you on yours.

You definitely have pregnancy sex a few times. Anything he can do to help you out, you know?

Asmodeus ADORES watching you grow round with his child and LIVES for helping you take care of yourself. He’ll let you lounge in his fantastic tub and has no issues sitting on the floor and doing your toes

Picks out all your outfits. Wants you to look your best! Don’t worry, you’ll be comfy!

When he finds out you’re having a girl he cries. A lot.

SO MANY BABY UPDATE BROADCASTS ON DEVILGRAM! There is an official ‘baby watch’. It’s trending more than you thought it would.

Takes TONS of videos.

His baby is easily the most fashionable child in all of Devildom.

Takes really candid, private photos that have a lot of sentimental value. A lot of your pregnancy photos are you looking comfy in bed or sitting at a vanity in breezy clothes as he does your makeup.

The type of dad to sit down in the middle of the store to play with toys (are they good enough for his kid? Like, really?). Must feel everything before he buys it. If he doesn’t like how it feels, he won’t buy it.

You end up giving birth earlier than planned and Asmo almost throws up because birth doesn’t look like he thought it would

Super nervous during your pregnancy because you’re in pain and there’s lots of noises.

Busies himself doing your makeup because that’s the only way he can handle the situation. You’re holding his tail and he SWEARS you’re going to break it off!

The bros help deliver his little angel and Asmo is SMITTEN. ABSOLUTELY SMITTEN.

Holding his baby 24/7.

Loses sleep just because he watches them sleep. Sometimes he loses sleep for real because DAMN, babies don’t sleep a lot, do they?

It’s really hard to adjust to and he’s surprised his skin isn’t god-awful.

Doesn’t regret a thing, fawning over their tiny nails and little curls, and OMG EVERYTHING! Cries a lot because they’re just perfect

His wardrobe reflects his dad status but he still looks like a DILF. You can give him the most classic dad attire and it just looks good on him.

Beelzebub

He’s excited about your pregnancy. Boy honestly tried for it, you know? Studied positions and everything.

Beelzebub has so much love and the idea of holding a tiny someone just warms his heart

Everything kid-related is totally foreign to him except for how to act with them. He and Belphie were the youngest so he was used to being taken care of until he got old enough to climb and eat on his own.

The type of guy to need explicit, step-by-step instructions on EVERYTHING. He doesn’t have a brain for it like Satan or Lucifer, so he needs help

Seriously. Give him a checklist for baby-proofing and he’ll get it done.

Gets pretty down about not being able to cuddle and snuggle like normal, but he’ll look into safe ways to do so.

Has special snuggles with the baby. Kisses your belly and rubs it. Talks to your baby like the little demon it is (even if it doesn’t have a name yet).

Lives for the times you talk to the baby, talk yourself out of bed, or how you absently talk to your belly throughout the day.

Works out to deal with stress and nerves, but also because he wants to be a good, strong dad

The doctors give him a list of exercises you can do and he does them with you

Can’t really take the nutrition advice seriously. He eats pretty much everything and you probably will, too.

When people ask him about your pregnancy, he uses very inclusive language (”We’re expecting, etc.”)

You make mini-dates out of your late-night cravings. Beel is totally in love with it.

Beelzebub becomes your food finder. There’s been times where you look at him so cutely, so imploringly, and all you can manage is ‘spicy and crunchy’. He’ll find you something, don’t worry! He’s an expert!

Big on massages and cuddling. Likes to cup his hands over your belly and trace it.

The type of dad to gain weight with you as your pregnancy moves along. Becomes soft, strong dad.

Finds out you’re having twin boys and has the happiest crying session ever. Belphie is the first to know and all Beel can say is ‘Just like us!’ as he nearly crushes his twin to death.

Likes to dress them in cute and comfy clothes. Animal onesies? Yes!

At some point yours twins are going to look like hotdogs and hamburgers. There’s no shortage of food costumes thanks to Levi, Asmo, and Beel.

Suspicious about baby food, bugs Satan about how nutritious it is, and tries all of it just to be sure.

Some of their teething toys look like real food. Beelzebub ate one on accident.

Is a perfect gentle giant. Afraid of hurting them, for they are tiny and precious, but gets over that pretty quickly.

Always wants to cuddle and hold them. You have to make him leave them alone to sleep. Gets kind of sad when they’re napping because he can’t make faces at them or hear them laugh. Right back to his usual self when they wake up, though.

You best believe they learn their alphabet by studying food. Beelzebub will stand in the kitchen and dig through the pantry until he finds things that match the letters of the alphabet 

Belphegor

He’s kind of surprised you ended up pregnant because the sex is usually lazy and casual. Yes, he has the moments where it’s pretty hardcore, but...wow. For some reason, he just didn’t see you getting pregnant.

Secretly hopes you have more than one kid. Something in him would just be happy if there’s more than one kid. You think it comes from the time he spent alone in the attic but never say it.

Sleeps a lot more. Not out of avoidance or anything, but because naps will be rare in the future. He likes to think he’s stockpiling sleep.

Makes sure you’re comfy at all times.

Would love for you to sleep and be cozy but apparently that’s not healthy for humans, so he takes easy walks around the house and keeps you semi-active.

He’ll give you his cow pillow to use as a back pillow. It’s his way of letting the baby use it until he can share it with them.

Listens to a lot of audiotapes about parenting. Looks at books, too, but does better with audio. 

Reads a new bedtime story to your kid every night.

Sometimes you guys sleep in the star room so he can talk to them about constellations. They can’t see anything, of course, but he still goes into detail.

Isn’t much of a picture person and doesn’t see the point in taking maternity pictures. It’s actually because Belphie has a photographic memory so he remembers everything.

The bros force him into taking maternity pictures.

The type to journal everything. He writes a big-ass, super-detailed diary for the baby.

Is kind of worried about his temperament, so he’ll take some classes on how to handle stress and stuff before the babies arrive

Becomes King of Lists. There’s lists for everything. Lists help. Lists are good.

When he finds out you’re having triplets (a boy and two girls), he doesn’t know how to react. You saw him smile though. It doesn’t sink in until you’re hugging him. “I’m never sleeping again,” he realizes with absolute terror.

Beelzebub is super excited. “That’s twins plus a bonus!”

Very snobby about the nursery decor. Also very tactile like Asmodeus. If it doesn’t feel good, it’s not going in the nursery.

Wants a barn-themed nursery (to include as many cow-related things as possible)

You get the comfiest PJs.

With three kids, he lives by embroidery. He has to have a way to tell them apart, after all (the girls, at least).

Can’t hoard the babies but wants to. Hates that he doesn’t have enough arms to hold them all at the same time.

Is very interested by their tendency to hold each other and nap together. Finds it super adorable.

Makes a super-sized crib he can climb in and sleep with them. It’s basically a Belphie-sized bed with little attachments his kids sleep in. Separates them all just enough so he doesn’t worry about hurting them, but there’s still contact

Thanks whatever god exists that they mostly stay on a schedule together. Makes it stressful for changing diapers, but very fun to feed them.

Almost dies laughing when Lucifer holds them for the first time because one vomited on him, the other sneezed in his face, and one pooped so much it got on his pants leg.

Lulls them to sleep with his happy purr, and gets woken up from a dead sleep by pure love when they make the sound back. Suddenly there’s three chirpy purrs rolling against him and he’s in love.

Proud they love their mama so much (to the point of being TOTAL mama’s kids), but also kind of relieved he can breathe.

The three trade off occasionally when they realize he’s free real estate and come to him for snuggles. They all love him so he doesn’t mind.

This house supports cuddle piles! Belphie got them hooked on group naps for a young age and they sleep together now. 

Hope you liked it :)

Some random shit cause why not?

Gonna do this organized by pairing so

Creativitwins

When I say creativitwins btw, I mean no romantic relations between these two what so ever, and only mean their sibling relationship. RemRom shippers DNI/Do NOT tag as RemRom

They have a monthly prank war, most of it taking place in the Imagination so they can go all out but sometimes they'll do more harmless pranks on the others in the mind palace

If they have partners, they're best friends with the other person's partner

Ex. Intrulogical and Roceit = Platonic!Logince and Platonic!Dukeceit

Neither of them is King, and King is neither of the twins. It took awhile for everyone in the mind palace to accept this

They celebrate the split together, for awhile it was in secret. They spend the day just at each others sides and its the one day everyone can expect them to get along

They would murder for each other

Very critical of one another's partners if they have them

They both helped in creating the Dragon Witch, and the Dragon Witch has a strong bond with the twins because of this; the Dragon Witch was the last creation they made together before feuds started between them

Remus does very minor things that annoys Roman but Roman can't get mad cause they're really petty things and he hates that Remus knows just how far to push it

They binge movies sometimes, alternating between what each of them likes

They collaborate on fanfics together

Often times it's hurt/comfort fics

Remus is scarily good at writing fluff with very interesting descriptions and Roman's amazing when it comes to angst that can punch you in the gut in so few words

They are the matchmaking royalty of the mind palace, and know within hours when someone develops a crush

They both get very loopy whenever Thomas has a crush, and around 3am if Thomas hasn't gone to bed yet

They get into a l o t of fights, and often say many things they don't mean. They make it up usually but there are some things that were never resolved

Remus taught Roman how to sew, but he's awful at designing himself so Roman helped create Remus's outfit so that it didn't look like a fashion hurricane had wrecked his brother

Sometimes Remus will waltz into Roman's room when Roman is sleeping and just flop onto Roman

On these nights(it's always in the middle of the night) everyone will be woken up by unholy screeches from Roman as Remus refuses to get off him. Except Deceit, who sleeps with headphones on and music blasting cause he knows Remus will do some random loud shit at night and he needs beauty sleep

Both the twins can't recall any memories from King, but they have a journal left by him in the center of the Imagination and sometimes they'll just sit together and go through the entries

At the end of the day they have each other's backs and would do anything to protect the other

Kingceit

This is obviously before the split

King just always felt a certain curiosity when it came to the dishonest side, and Deceit didn't mind Creativity's company

When Virgil first forms they take care of him together

Deceit is tiny and King is pretty tall so King just loves to carry Deceit around and Deceit just lets him after awhile

King loves hearing Deceit sing

King also adores Deceit's scales, and he loves kissing every single one in the morning and seeing Deceit's human side blush

Deceit enjoys hearing King's random stories and ideas, and often helped expand them by asking questions

For a long time Deceit had some control over the Imagination because King gave him that ability, but after the split Deceit left all the control to Remus and Roman

Deceit still can't enter the Imagination after the split occurred, no matter how much the twins beg him to visit and see what they've created

King and Deceit's relationship just kind of works, y'know? And it just sort of happened over time and it just felt right to them

King is not allowed to cook. He does not fight Deceit's decision to ban him from the kitchen, as last time King tried cooking he nearly burned most of the house

King's great at decorating cake tho so Deceit bakes the cake and King gets free reign over how it looks in the end

They go to bed super early and sleep in till around noon, often drifting back and forth between sleep and consciousness

Both are absolute saps when they're tired and say the most cheesy shit to one another

Dukexiety

Late night conspiracies

They actually make a great team when protecting Thomas, none of the other sides realize that a lot of the things that Virgil worries over for Thomas's sake were things suggested by Remus(ex. "What if that guy drugged our drink and we end up being overcome with so much pain that it paralyzes us and we can't call out and he ends up killing us" turns into "hey lets not drink this in case someone messed with it")

Virgil loves listening to Remus's stories, and is often one of the first to read them(after Remus tells him anything that might be triggering so Virgil knows if he could take it or not)

Remus is a cuddle monster but respects when Virgil doesn't want to touch anyone and usually asks if Virgil would rather be alone or if Remus could like, hang out on Virgil's floor for a bit of something

Remus made Virgil's hoodie

They both stay up incredibly late just talking about anything

And they both get up incredibly early

Logan scolds them constantly that they should sleep more

Virgil one time made a playlist for Remus to use when writing and Remus fucking cried while almost squeezing the life out of Virgil in a hug

Virgil's also drawn fan art for Remus's work but never intended to show Remus cause Virgil never thought he was any good

Remus found his sketchbooks one day and tackled Virgil in a hug the next time he saw Virgil

Virgil loves holding hands, so if cuddling is too much they'll just hold hands and sit side by side doing their own thing

Virgil absolutely loves Remus's tentacles, they're incredibly useful and whenever Remus uses them to hug Virgil, Virgil never feels safer

Virgil is strong as hell and just carries Remus bridal style sometimes

Virgil does Remus's makeup

Remus calls Virgil his Scare-bear and his Starshine, Virgil calls Remus his Gremlin and Bastard Husband(Remus grins ear-to-ear at the nicknames)

Also common when they're both sleep deprived and sappy and shit are Hon, Love, Darling, Dearest, Honey-Bear, Light of my life, Night to my day, and Moon to my stars

Intrulogical

They're both enthusiasts of forensic shows and murder mysteries

The show Forensic Files? They binged every episode together. They try to figure out who the culprit was before the episode ends and it's revealed. Remus has been correct 5 more times than Logan, however they both often get it right

Remus is on amazing terms with the Dragon Witch and the Dragon Witch ends up officiating at their wedding

Logan patches up Remus whenever one of Remus's creatures hurt him

Logan will edit all of Remus's works, as well as help develop ideas by giving feedback or ask questions or just listen to Remus ramble

Logan loves Remus rambling and will get comfortable wherever they are cause it can go on for hours

Not that he minds

Remus is Logan's Duke and Logan is Remus's Star

Remus is very easy to fluster

Especially when Logan says he loves Remus. Even after the thousandth time Remus turns crimson

Fucking dramatic these two are with their romantic gestures and yet still somehow keep their relationship hidden for years

Remus loves Logan's room cause it's actually very calming and it's filled with a bunch of soft chairs, piles of pillows and blankets, and an air mattress in the corner if anyone wants to sleep in Logan's room for the night

Logan was shocked that Remus's room was actually pretty organized. Still messy, but you could definitely find anything you needed by just glancing around

They both enthuse about space

Remus created a constellation in the Imagination and named it Logan

He also regularly creates new constellations there so Logan can find them and name them

Logan definitely writes fanfics based on Remus's stories

Remus breaks down the first time Logan says he loves Remus, and the night ends with him holding Remus close and uttering the words softly over and over

Remus loves hearing Logan read and sometimes if Remus can't sleep Logan will just read to him

Anxceit

Virgil and Deceit have many debates, they're friendly though and they both agree before the debates that they'll keep it friendly

Deceit's great at getting Virgil out of a panic or anxiety attack

Deceit uses all six of his arms when cuddling Virgil, playing with Virgil's hair or hands and holding him around the waist or stomach

They bake together a lot. Virgil has a massive sweet tooth

Will stab a bitch if you hurt the other

Virgil really loves to paint Deceit's nails

He also sometimes uses makeup to cover up Deceit's scales when Deceit gets really self conscious about them. Once the makeup comes off though Virgil will pepper kisses over the scales and run his fingers over them lightly and tell Deceit how gorgeous he looks

On the flip side Deceit loves his scales and so does Virgil cause they glimmer in the light

Virgil adores drawing Deceit

They do holidays in an anti way and do the opposite of everything you're supposed to do

They just sort of had an agreement that they'd get married and then they did, no big wedding or anything

Everyone was shook when they learned that the two were together, more so married

Both love cuddling and hold each other whenever. But they still have their different rooms cause sometimes you need a break y'know?

Sometimes they'll sit together in relative silence doing their own thing but like, leaning against one another lightly as they do it

Deceit monitors Virgil's coffee intake

[logicalbookthief]

truly, madly, deeply

I saw @alexxmichael’s call for Forlex fics and I couldn’t resist-- I’d also love to see more content for these two black sheeps, please!

Warnings for jealous!Michael, sappy declarations of love, and shameless use of Savage Garden lyrics.

*

*

“Alex!” Michael drawls, moseying over to the bar. Alex pauses his conversation with Maria, eyes flitting toward Michael, who smiles at the pleasant surprise. “Didn’t expect to see you here tonight.”

“You don’t usually make it a habit to come to open mic,” Maria observes. “Despite me trying to convince you to participate for months.”

“More like bribe,” Alex snorts. Maria raises a brow, a motion for him to quit avoiding the question and spill. Fiddling with his beer, Alex shrugs. “Forrest asked me to come. He’s playing a song and wanted me here... For moral support, I guess.”

“Forrest?” Michael blinks. “You mean Long--?”

“Hey, alien guy!”

Behind the counter, Maria drops the glass she was cleaning. Michael winces as it smashes onto the floor. 

Panic laced with confusion flashes over her face. “What--”

“It’s a nickname,” Alex explains quickly. Calm, assuring. 

“Because he’s always researching aliens at the library,” Forrest adds. He grimaces over the counter at the mess. “Oh, man, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to startle you. Do you need help?”

“No, no, I’ve got it,” Maria laughs, not a trace of wariness left in her voice. Michael doesn’t blame her for worrying; the alien secret is a hefty adjustment.  “Almost time for your set, anyway. Go on, I won’t keep you.”

“Okay. If you’re sure.” Forrest hesitates like he still wants to hop over the bar and help. Hard to believe such a nice guy is related to Wyatt Long. 

He does waver over Alex, stopping in front of his stool. Crinkles appear at the corner of his eyes, dimpled by his grin. “I’m glad you could make it,” he says, endearingly pleased by Alex’s presence. 

“Wouldn’t miss it,” Alex states with a soft smile of his own. “Good luck.”

Forrest leans into Alex’s space to say something more, when Maria curses under her breath. “Shit, that spilled. Guerin, can you grab me the mop?”

“Oh, uh, yeah,” he says, perking as she pecks his cheek in thanks. 

By the time he returns, Forrest is on stage with his guitar. He looks nervous under the lights, dim as they are, yet seems perfectly at ease when he greets the crowd. “This song is dedicated to a very special someone,” he says earnestly, offering a wink for the vague object of his affection. Somewhere to his left, Alex straightens in anticipation. 

The first couple of cords sound familiar. As soon as he hits the verse, Michael realizes why. Hollers ring out from the Wild Pony patrons, particularly the delighted women in the crowd.

I’ll be your dream, I’ll be your wish, I’ll be your fantasy

Michael smirks. “Kind of cliché,” he remarks to Alex, whose eyes don’t stray from the stage.

He hums distractedly. “They don’t seem to mind,” Alex retorts, and, yeah, the ladies are loving this. Slow, romantic love ballad sung by an admittedly hunky nerd with an acoustic guitar? Of course they’re smitten. 

But Forrest doesn’t seem interested in the attention. Or at least, the attention of his newfound fans. Michael watches his gaze seek out a specific spot at the bar, not far from where he’s sitting actually, almost as if he’s looking at--

The smirk fades. All sound drains out of the room like someone’s pressed down on the volume button. 

Michael follows his gaze where it lands on Alex, who’s starting back, the hard lines of his face slackened in awe. He’s wide-eyed, stunned, hardly moving except for the rise of his chest. A rosy blush sits high on cheeks, definitely not from the single, barely-touched beer that lays forgotten. 

Forrest must notice the moment Alex realizes, same as Michael, because his grin expands, his voice dipping to take on a more personal note.

Oh can you see it, baby? You don’t have to close your eyes. ‘Cause it’s standing right before you. All that you need will surely come...

His gaze is full of such open, unguarded fondness, Forrest appears and sounds enamored to his core, and Alex is charmed, and how, how the fuck did Michael miss this closeness, this fledgling romance as it took flight under his goddamn nose--

“Pretty good, don’t you think? He’s got a way with that guitar,” Maria comments. Michael jumps. startled by her presence behind him. Two stools away, Alex still has his eyes locked with Forrest, absorbing every ounce of the adoration strumming through the song.  

“He isn’t bad,” Michael mutters reluctantly. “Not the best singer.”

“Well, it is open mic night at the Wild Pony. Not American Idol,” Maria reminds lightly. When Michael continues to glower, she puts a hand on her hip. “So he’s a little rough around the edges. So what? Everybody else is enjoying themselves.”

At his lack of response, she wanders down the bar to get a customer her refill. Against every instinct, Michael lets his eyes wander again. He’s drawn back to Alex’s orbit by gravity, maybe, or a force even stronger. 

Under Forrest’s gaze, the earlier astonishment blooms into joy. Uncertain, bashful joy that Alex clearly doesn’t know what to do with as it bursts from the seams of his smile. He looks how he does when he’s unfetteredly happy and can’t decide if he deserves to feel that way. He stares at Forrest like he can’t believe Forrest is here, and real, making promises of love and loyalty. Forrest confesses it with all the tenderness the song allows, unafraid, but in a language all their own, privy to their ears only. 

Michael can’t look away, even as he realizes, the burst of clarity so sharp and sudden it twists a knot into his stomach, that he has no right to look. This isn’t a moment they’re sharing -- this is the electric thrill of whatever’s passing between Alex and Forrest, and he’s merely a voyeur. He’s an intruder, and that, more than anything else, incenses him beyond reason. 

Forrest is singing, singing these words and sentiments to Alex, who is beaming, smiling, falling for a some no-name historian related to that piece of shit Long right before his eyes--

The glass bottles on Maria’s shelves have begun to tremble. His fists have clenched so tight he can feel his pulse through his palm. His heart thrums against his eardrum, an enraged, discordant rhythm. Nothing like the sweet croon of Forrest’s guitar or the gravelly cadence of his voice. 

Michael leaps up in a green-hazed fury. Before he can do anything he’ll regret, he’s stalking out of the Wild Pony and into the cold evening air, hoping it’ll clear his head. Applause drifts out into the night, an echo of Forrest’s fans. 

Bitterly, Michael wonders how they would react if they know the performer wasn’t fishing for their admiration or affirmation -- the song was a message for an audience of one. That must be why he wanted Alex here. For moral support, I guess. 

Yeah, Michael scoffs with nobody except the stars to hear. Even as his heart slows, his fists have yet to loosen. Moral support my ass.

Are You Happy With The Person You’re With: Also yes! Incredibly! I try to not get started cause I’m told I can be insufferable about it but so very very happy 100.) Post as 100 Truths and Tag five People: this is more 99 truths ain’t it, so here’s the last one, I am constantly terrified my plants will die but act tough in front of them cause someone has to not wilt under pressure

10 Questions Every Fic Writer Secretly Wants to be Asked

After answering these questions for A Fairytale Beginning, @kmomof4 rewarded me by prompting me to answer these same questions for The Long Way Home.  She’s too nice to me, you guys.  Here we go!  As with the other post, spoilers abound.

1. Of the fics you’ve written, which is your favorite and why?

See my previous answer.

2. Which scene was your favorite to write in The Long Way Home?

Definitely the scene where Killian realizes he’s in love with Emma while staring up at the stars.  I just love the visual and all the delicious angst of that moment.  Killian being flummoxed by Emma’s first climb up the mast comes in a close second.

3. Which part of The Long Way Home was hardest to write?

The hurricane scene was probably the hardest to write simply because it involved so much research into how a square-rigged vessel could try to survive a storm and I had to try to describe it using enough jargon to be realistic and yet not so much that readers would be overwhelmed. That’s a difficult line to walk. You can get away with a TON of jargon in the movies/TV (pay attention the next time you watch Pirates of the Caribbean; I checked a transcript of one of the battle scenes for inspiration, and I barely understood anything), but it’s harder to get away with the same level of jargon in fic because readers are less likely to just shrug it off.

4. If you could change anything in The Long Way Home, what would it be?

Mmph.  This is a hard question to answer about a fic I just finished.  I probably would have made the story longer - thrown in another incident/adventure or just thrown in more fluff.  One of the most common comments I got from readers was that they didn’t want the story to end (goodness, you people are so sweet).  If I hadn’t been limited by the CSBB deadline and if I’d known how much people would enjoy this story, that’s probably what would have happened.

ADDENDUM: In retrospect, I should also have made what was supposed to be emotional context for Killian’s vigil for Emma a little less subtle.  I had him mention how his mother died in order to give people some insight into how much more torturous it must have been for him to wait for Emma to wake up.  I’m pretty sure zero people picked up on this.  LOL.  I really should have included a line of dialogue about it.  :p

5. Did you make an outline for The Long Way Home? Did you stick to it?

Yes, and yes (mostly), though the outline it was very general and many scenes that ultimately ended up in the fic were not plotted out ahead of time (eg, Emma’s scene in the tavern attic, Emma and Killian’s entire day in the Southern Isles, the whale watching, Emma pulling away from Killian after realizing she’s in love with him, etc.).   A lot of those scenes got thrown in later after writing the pre-planned scenes; this fic was unique for me in that it was not written linearly - I had holes to patch all over the place for a while!  It was a mess.

The order of the events also changed.  Originally I had the hurricane happening immediately before the encounter with the slavers; ie, they meet the slave ship after Emma saves the Jolly and Killian declares his feelings for her but before their TLK.  Reordering those events was probably the biggest deviation from the original outline (and SUPER frustrating, because I had to ditch several days’ worth of words making that transition).

6. Which scenes did you cut, and which were added in The Long Way Home?

The only scene that got cut was related to the reordering of events mentioned above.  It was a scene where Emma waits for Killian to come back from the slave ship and worries she won’t be able to be the princess Misthaven needs without her memories or her control of her magic.  She tries to do more magic and gets frustrated when she can’t, and when Killian returns, he encourages her and that conversation ultimately results in the TLK.

As for scenes that were added, there were a ton.  See my answer to #5 for examples.   

7. Who was your favorite character to write in The Long Way Home?

Killian - he’s usually my favorite to write, and this fic is largely (in my mind) about his transformation from Captain Hook back to Killian Jones; it’s more about him finding his home than about Emma finding hers.  Writing a lot of the ensemble cast (Maggie, Roberts, Smee, and Charming) was also a blast, though!

8. Which came first, the title or the fic?

The fic always comes first for me.  I had a short list of candidate titles but didn’t settle on one until I was getting ready to email the fic in for the final CSBB check-in, LOL.

9. Which idea came to you first in The Long Way Home?

I actually started this fic two years ago, back before I’d joined the fandom (before I was even aware of the fandom), when I was just writing for personal pleasure.  I came up with this Captain Duckling AU (I didn’t even know the fic terminology back then) involving Princess Emma under a memory curse and Killian kind of Sherlock Holmes’ing his way to discovering her identity.  That concept and Emma’s encounter with Blackbeard were basically all I started with; I had no idea where it was going at the time, and I certainly never intended for it to become a complete story that other people would read!

10. What are some facts readers may not know about The Long Way Home?

- I didn’t actually intend for this fic to be an Anastasia AU, but one of the CSBB mods labeled it as such after reading the plot, and it just stuck.

- This was by far the most frustrating fic I’ve written to-date in the sense that the nature of the CSBB made me as obsessed with word count as anything else.  It was also difficult for me to only have the feedback of a handful of people to go on during the process - I had so much anxiety about whether this story was any good and whether I could pull it off the way I wanted.  Still, this fic would probably not have happened at all without the CSBB, and I’m very glad to have participated!

- My CSBB artists @giraffes-ride-swordfishes and @waiting-for-autumn helped me design all of Emma’s non-canon wardrobe for this fic.

- Topics I researched for this fic include historical pirating and aspects of that lifestyle, 18th century ships/sailing/navigation, 18th century clothing, 18th century soap recipes, the average size/speed of hurricanes, and swords (types, parts, sword fighting techniques, care, etc.).  My Pinterest boards for my fics always include research references as well as visual inspiration; the board for this fic has 175 pins.

- The number of pictures of the Jolly Roger/Lady Washington I saved for reference - OMG.  

- Killian’s line about the Dread Pirate Roberts is an obvious homage to The Princess Bride, which, in addition to being part of the inspiration for Hook’s character on the show, is one of my favorite movies.  The Jolly’s quartermaster is always named Roberts in my fics (see also A Fairytale Beginning) in honor of the movie.

- Killian and Emma’s dancing was largely inspired by Rose and Jack’s dancing in Titanic and Rapunzel and Flynn/Eugene’s dancing in Tangled.

- The cut on Killian’s cheek is a reference to Colin O’Donoghue’s scar.

- For any medical-types out there, Alec suffered from a wound infection which progressed to sepsis and was complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation, pulmonary embolism, and delirium.

- Emma’s thoughts on Liam’s ring came from a mini-crisis I had trying to figure out what color the stone was on OUAT.  I posted about it at the time to try to find group consensus.  Ultimately, we did find proof that the stone is actually red, and this sappy little metaphor about it being like Killian’s heart popped into my head, and there you go.

- I thought about putting Emma in the silver princess dress from canon for the wedding, but I’d already used this dress in A Fairytale Beginning, so I nixed the idea.  I tried coming up with a custom design, but ultimately I went with an existing dress I found while looking for inspiration.  It’s the dress I used to Photoshop this picture.  I wanted feathers on the dress both because Emma was nicknamed “Swan” and because Snow also had feathers on her wedding dress.

There you are.  Much more than any of you ever wanted to know, I’m sure.  Thanks to those of you who made it to the end (of the fic and this post), haha!  You guys are the best.

CHARACTER INTERVIEW …

NAME . Sapphire Imagami

NICKNAME Saph, Phire-ball, Sephie

AGE . Default teen verse he’s 16. So babby. Adult verse he’s 27. 

SPECIES . Human/witch in-training. 

PERSONAL !

MORALITY . lawful / chaotic / good / neutral / evil / true

RELIGION . He’s not really into religion itself but more or less interested with learning about the background behind certain deities. Y’know, mythology fascination and all that jazz. 

SINS . greed / gluttony / sloth / lust / pride / envy / wrath. (wee bit)

VIRTUES . chastity / charity / diligence / humility / kindness / patience / justice

KNOWN LANGUAGES . Japanese, French, and English.

SECRETS . Uh, he’s actually not as timid about the spotlight as he or some of his friends make him out to be. On the surface, it seems like Sapphire is extremely against drawing attention to himself on the stage either because A.) he feels he doesn’t deserve it due to all of the shit his parents have told him or B.) he’s not used to positive attention at all. The change would be jarring for him. So, naturally he acts different in front of a mirror. Singing songs in front of an imaginary crowd and bowing. Perhaps one day he’ll realize that for once, maybe it’s his turn to finally shine and that he totally he deserves it. But until then, it’s a thought he pushes in the back of his mind. He’s also secretly a huge fanboy when he comes to famous idols/actors. Sapphire’s got a pink autograph book of pictures he’s taken with stars and their signatures. And gosh just recalling that sort of stuff makes his little heart go doki doki. 

PHYSICAL !

BUILD . scrawny / bony / slender / fit / athletic / curvy / pear shaped / herculean / pudgy / average

HEIGHT . 5′1. Small boy. 

SCARS / BIRTHMARKS . Few marks on his knuckles and arms from tussles. No birthmarks but as far as skin marks go, his face is adorned with small brown freckles. 

FAVOURITES !

FOOD . Sweets, anything with delicious sauce or noodles, adores anything meaty or with chicken, pizza, and cooked fish with veggies. Honestly, he’ll try anything unless it looks like vomit. Then he’ll nope out. 

DRINK . Fruity sparkling water, herbal tea, or anything alcoholic provided it doesn’t overpower the sweet taste of the drink. Like cranberry mixed with wine. 

PIZZA TOPPING. Anything combination, I guess. Like Italian sausage and pepperoni.

COLOUR . Any shade of blue or pastel colors, you know? He’s very fond of lights like mint green and lilac. 

MUSIC GENRE . Electro swing, jazz, or cutesy pop songs. Not quite sure what names the genres go by but 70's to 80's music as well. Because, of course, I have to project on my boy.

BOOK GENRE . Fairytales, Indiana Jones books, fashion magazines, and art books. 

MOVIE GENRE . Oh, man. The sappy stuff like movies where long lost loves are reunited or lots with overly dramatic plot twists. They’re like his “it’s so bad, it’s good” trash. He’s also fond of anything pirate-related thanks to his travels with Blood or cheesy gore fests. 

CURSE WORD . "Fuck!” “Crap baskets!” “Holy mother shitting dicklord!” “Shut up, you dick-douche shit bucket”

SCENTS . Honey with a hint of lavender, fresh scent of grass, or roses. 

FUN STUFF !

BOTTOM OR TOP Switches with his future spouse. 

SINGS IN THE SHOWER . Yep. “Over the Rainbow” is the song he likes to sing most.

LIKES PUNS . "Hey, let’s just kiss for the halibut!”

TAGGED BY No one! Took it from @sapphosheiir

TAGGING . @powderpuffxinkwell @pyro-brainiac

He IS good at making ponies laugh and feel appreciated, though he’d maybe be better at it if he didn’t misinterpret his cutie mark hmmWhy Someone Might Hate Them: Well, he is kind of a jerk. Kinda sexist, judgemental, vulgar at times, and often carries his flirting too far. It’s not undeserved.Why Someone Might Love Them: Maybe they relate to the crap he’s gone through or see his good side through his bad qualities. Or maybe they’ve seen more cinnamon roll AU or Hot on the Trail AU Heat Wave where he is objectively more likable. Still the same Heat Wave, but better circumstances.How They Change: I’m really trying to work on his story I swearWhy You Love Them: His life is a work in progress but I promise you he has a good heart under all the crap he’s built up from having too many bad influences

Kirin:

Full Name: “Former Princess Star Sapphire of the Scintillating Plains, Rogue Warrior under the Equestrian Crown” or something to that effect, i’m still figuring out her long title as well as her casual nicknameGender and Sexuality: Female, HomosexualPronouns: She/herEthnicity/Species: KirinBirthplace and Birthdate: The Scintillating Empire; she doesn’t have a set birthday yetGuilty Pleasures: Teasing Hailstorm and probably barhoppingPhobias: NoneWhat They Would Be Famous For: Her warrior skills and possibly saving ponies, though the idea behind being a rogue warrior is sort of to stay out of the spotlight; alternatively, modeling lingerieWhat They Would Get Arrested For: I doubt she’d get anything but kicked out of places cause she’s a loud drunk xDOC You Ship Them With: Her (future) marefriendOC Most Likely To Murder Them: Oddly enough, Hailstorm again (still figuratively)Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Action/AdventureLeast Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Sappy romance stuffTalents and/or Powers: She’s got some pretty badass fighting and weapons skills and honestly it’s super impressive; Her powers are a bit harder to describe but she has a sort of siren-like allure she can use for persuasion?Why Someone Might Love Them: She breaks a lot of gender roles and is super confident while doing it, she’s pretty entertaining, and she has kickass fighting skills? There are so many reasons!Why Someone Might Hate Them: She’s loud and obnoxious at times and some might not like how she uses her seduction powers? She’s mostly harmless but she makes a lot of mistakes at first due to not knowing what’s okay/what’s notHow They Change: A lot of her story is about her adjusting to non-warrior life and being around ponies for the first time in awhile, so there are big changes there. And I’m constantly figuring out and reworking OC stuff so it’s all open…Why You Love Them: I love that she’s really confident in her decisions and scared or not, doesn’t let anything get in the way of her goals or doing what she thinks is best for her. She’s super outgoing but only opens up to those she’s closest to and is quick to pass off her skills and good qualities as nothing, and it’s interesting to me how different she can come across in different situations. Also her warrior skills are awesome, of course :)

Kelpie:

Full Name: ????Gender and Sexuality: Male, heterosexual? I don’t really know, he’s not particularly interested in relationshipsPronouns: He/himEthnicity/Species: KelpieBirthplace and Birthdate: Somewhere at the bottom of the ocean, date: ????Guilty Pleasures: He only has his unquenchable thirst for knowledge and literature and it’s certainly not guilty; needless to say he has no use for the termPhobias: Haha,What They Would Be Famous For: He doesn’t want to be, he’s more likely to be infamous for casual disregarding of general rules, and the Princesses have had to cover for him on multiple occasions because they know his intent is good and he can’t be stopped anywaysWhat They Would Get Arrested For: Casual disregard for the rules (that covers many things, so it’s funnier that I leave it like that)OC You Ship Them With: Nobody! I refuse to ship him per his wishes OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Haha,Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Anything and everything he can get his hooves onLeast Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Would you have a least favorite childTalents and/or Powers: He’s studied magic his entire life and considering he’s at least 2,000 years old he has quite a bit of magic skill. He learned a type of mysterious deep-sea originating magic that allows him to control water in many ways, and learned to use it on words and wind in a similar way. Plus he knows general stuff like teleportation, invisibility spells, etc.Why Someone Might Love Them: Because he’s an ancient kelpie that uses his cool magical powers on his endless quest for knowledge and literature! Because his expressions and personality are really hard for ponies to read which can make for hilarious situations because he has a really good sense of humor! Because he comes across as unsettling and creepy but he’s just a giant nerd! Oh man, I could go on so longWhy Someone Might Hate Them: Please don’t If you forget the fact that he eats ponies there really isn’t much to hate him for imoHow They Change: SpoilersWhy You Love Them: Lmao, just copy + paste the “Why someone might love them” answer here and add the facts that kelpies are one of my favorite things, that his entire personality is one of my favorites in stories, and that he’s my child
