I designed a lair for Victor Chaos because let's face it, Victor Chaos Butters is better than Applebee's manager Butters.

Fankid Day 5: Gala

Sorry I got sick so after finishing this piece Thursday I forgot to post it on Friday or yesterday. Better late than never! I might try to do the last two prompts as some writing even tho I wanted Day 6 to be drawn. I just don’t have the energy.

Nutcracker Season 2022: Day 2

As advancements in technology continue it becomes more and more common to see obsolete or discharged automatons on the street, especially in London. Either begging for service and repairs or accepting their fate in a quiet corner. It’s truly a sad sight to see but most don’t spare them a second glance. Morgan Sthalblam is not most people. The Sthalblam family has donated money and resources to renowned automaton expert, Professor Drosselmeyer in exchange for taking their daughter Morgan under his wing as his student. Together Morgan and Drosselmeyer spend their time finding, repairing, and maintaining automatons in need.

If your interested to learn more about Automatons in relation to “The Nutcracker and the Clockwork Mice,” Check under the cut!

Robots? In my nutcracker story? It’s more likely than you think.

All jokes aside, this nutcracker story does take place in a sort of steampunk/cyberpunk setting. Think Treasure Planet. While not a major aspect of the story, the presence of the automatons provide important world building and do play a large part in both Morgan and Drosselmeyer’s back stories.

- Automatons are robots that are integrated into society and are usually assigned a job. (Ex: Postman, Police Officer, Housemaid)

- Automatons are fairly new phenomena in this world so we’re beginning to see the first series of automatons being phased out for a new model. Since this hasn’t really happened before, there hasn’t been a set way to deal with the obsolete models hence why obsolete automatons have become a more common sight on the streets. Drosselmeyer and Morgan are leading a program to repair old models and find them new purpose instead of letting them rust.

- Above are concepts (not finalized) of the automaton build. They have hollow torsos that hold most of the major clockwork part that make them work and solid legs. They “faces” are made of porcelain and are painted by hand.

- Morgan met Professor Drosselmeyer when he saved her from a malfunctioning automaton as a child. She followed him to his workshop and assisted in fixing the automaton. Morgan’s family was so grateful they offered to fund all of Drosselmeyer’s research and business ventures and in return Drosselmeyer took Morgan in as a student. By story start she has been studying under Drosselmeyer’s wing for about 10 years.

- From the shadows, the mouse king and his army have taken inspiration from human automatons to construct their own fleet of clockwork mice. Since the mice must reverse engineer the automatons inner workings and parts must be scavenged from old/decommissioned automatons, assembly has taken years. However the time to strike is quickly approaching.

Cinnamon and Art Galleries - Spencer Reid

Pairing: Spencer Reid x Reader

Summary: Your friend, Emily brings a cute stranger to your art exhibition.

Warnings: fluff, fluff, more fluff, probably ooc Spencer

A/N: I hope you guys enjoy this! This was my first time writing for Spencer so he's probably out of character but please let me know what you think! I love you all! xxx

You smiled as you drew the cat in the hot chocolate foam and handed it to the little girl on the other side of the counter with her mom. It melted your heart when her face lit up and she waved at you as her mom steered her out of the café. It was slow in your café today but you didn’t mind, you used the time to set up for the beginner art class you were going to be teaching on Saturday.

“Hey girl,” you glanced up when the bell rang and your friend Emily walked in.

You smiled when you saw her and gave her a wave. She was the first friend you had made when you moved to DC.

“Hey,” you smiled, “having the usual?”

“Please,” she grinned.

You got to work, making her one black coffee, the other was a milky coffee with a shot of cinnamon syrup. You knew that Emily drank the black coffee so you couldn’t help but wonder who the overly sweet coffee was for. You carefully selected the cinnamon roll with the most frosting and slid it into a bag, being careful to not let it stick to the paper bag.

“I believe congratulations are in order,” Emily started and you scoffed with a laugh.

As soon as you found out your art was going to be featured in an exhibition, Emily was the first person you told, “the team are coming to see it.”

You raised an eyebrow, secretly you were grateful, “FBI Agents don’t have anything better to do?”

She laughed, “not tonight, I even managed to talk the good Dr into coming.”

“The elusive Spencer Reid?” you rested your hip against the counter as you handed her the coffees, “how did you manage that?” from what Emily had told you, it didn’t seem like Spencer Reid liked social situations.

“I’ve got killer interrogation skills,” she smirked, “he’s cute too.”

You internally groaned, yours and Emily’s definition of ‘cute’ were very different, for all you knew Spencer Reid was an aging Professor, “as long as you don’t try and set us up, like you tried with me and Morgan.”

“No promises,” she laughed as she backed out of the café, “I’ll see you tonight.”

Later that night, you were sipping champagne as people perused your exhibition, your paintings were both inspired by Pre-Raphaelite art and the King Arthur legends. You noticed a man was standing at your painting of the Knights of the Round Table, so you walked over and decided to strike up a conversation.

“Hi.”

“Hi,” his lips twitched into a small smile as he looked down at you with gorgeous deep brown eyes, “you’re the artist right?” when you nodded, he looked back at the painting, “you’re really good.”

“Thanks, I love Pre-Raphaelite art.”

“Did you know that the Pre-Raphaelites were a secret society of young artists, founded in London in 1848? They were opposed to the Royal Academy’s promotion of the ideal as exemplified in the work of Raphael,” he blurted this out like he’d memorised it from a textbook and you worked hard to conceal a laugh.

“I did know that,” you giggled.

“Right of course,” he flushed, “of course you knew that.”

Something struck a memory, something that Emily had told you, “wait, are you Spencer Reid?” he looked at you with slightly wary eyes before nodding and you smiled, “I’m Y/N, Emily has told me so much about you.”

“It’s all lies,” he joked and glanced over his shoulder, “she’s making the most of the bar right now.”

You laughed as you looked over too and she waved, lifting up a glass in a motion of cheers. When she had said Spencer was cute, it was an understatement, he was young and gorgeous.

“Are you interested in art?” you asked as you sipped your champagne.

Spencer nodded, “I like looking at it, I’m afraid I’m not very artistic.”

“And here, we thought you were perfect,” you heard a chuckle from over your shoulder and you turned to see Derek Morgan and the rest of the BAU, Morgan pulled you into a hug, “congratulations sweetheart.”

“Thanks,” you smiled as you pulled away and looked at the others, “thank you for coming.”

It was a great night and you were grateful for everyone that came but soon, you were starting to get overwhelmed so you went out onto the balcony for a cigarette. Though it seemed as though someone else had beaten you to it. He ran a hand through his hair and glanced over his shoulder and smiled at you.

“Hey, you want some company?”

“Sure,” he smiled.

There was comfortable silence for a while as both of you looked over at the lights of DC, your cigarette smoke curling in the air. Soon enough, Spencer spoke up.

“So what do you do? Is art your full time thing?”

“I own the café by the library, but I’m integrating art into the café, I’m teaching a beginner class at the weekend from there.”

“No way! Seriously?” he smiled, looking animated, “your coffee is so good and your cinnamon rolls? Amazing.”

You laughed, “Emily gets the cinnamon roll with the most frosting for you?”

“Yeah,” he flushed, he opened his mouth to say something else when he was interrupted by Aaron Hotchner.

“Reid, we just got called in,” he glanced at you, an apologetic look, “I’m sorry, Y/N.”

“No, it’s okay,” you smiled when Spencer pushed himself off the railing, “it was really nice to meet you Spencer.”

He flushed and offered you a shy smile, “it was nice to meet you too, I’ll see you soon?”

You nodded and Emily pulled you into a tight hug, whispering in your ear, “I’ll make sure he sees you soon,” you laughed, shaking your head as she pulled away.

On Saturday, you were setting up for the art class when you heard the tinkle of the bell and you glanced up. None other than Spencer Reid was standing in the open doorway, the sun like a halo around his head.

“Thought you might need a hand.”

[itsguysnightitsironic]

Curse of the Nitghborne.

Guys, I haven't had time to play a lot, but I think the god of this land MAY BE the bad guy, but don't listen to me much.

Get up, folk! Flor did another Curse of Strahdanya crossover after Derek mentioned Lethica fused with Strahdanya as one throw joke in a stream!

The style is indeed inspired by the great art in Hades (the videogame), and the background is by Hades II.

The drawings without text:

Also, this was written at four in the morning, and I refuse to correct my insomniac ramblings this is the beta experience:

Lethica Nightborne as Strahdanya

----LORE------- In Barovia, a land of the dead, of suffering and grief, a new god has appeared out of nowhere covering the land in an eternal night... Of happiness? Lethica Nightborne, known as the Divine, has presented herself as the saviour that the land needed it, for what seems like decades. Her light, her kindness, her power, has changed the region and the hearts of the people to their core, as the land has been reborn... As there's new blood... But of course, you can't blame the nature of evil, so there's still death, suffering and pain in Barovia, but of course, our saviour, our dear wife, cleans it as she chooses. And if she asks for a sacrifice, of course, we will bring it to her, if she asks for the firstborn of every family, we will name the second after her, and if she asks that we take care of her dinner guests, we shall take care of them. -----DESIGN------- All I knew of Lethica was that I wanted her to wear a veil, and she couldn't only be a countess but a whole god, the saviour of Barovia. The churches don't talk about sun gods, only of her, their lady of dark, their god. Her dress comes from mixing Stradhanya's and hers, ending in a very 19th figure, with a bit of Mesopotamian fashion (the metal belts and sleeves with the double skirt) to show her as a figure of the past, as somehow older than she appears. Of course, she had to have some kind of knife so a knife fan, and a cup to show wealth and power (her cup is always full, full of what? Well, if you look at the very pale man under with not a lot of blood left-)

Marius Renathyr as Victoria Issacs

-----LORE------- Marius as a man of Ilmater seems to be QUITE interested in Barovia, a land of suffering and grief, to the extreme that seems too personal to just be a missionary mission to conquer pain. The university doesn't trust him completely, but somehow, even as a new member of the university and resident of Druskenwald, Marius had found a way to get the vote of everyone involved and the funds for the crusade. But what would be the real reasons for such travel? Or... WHO is the real reason? ------DESIGN ------ Inspired by the old missionary ropes of the 1800s and the typical vampire hunter, Marius stands as a very weird-looking holy man. From Victoria's design, we get the rosary turned into this over-complicated necklace and the ropes around his hips that reference the bloody ropes of Ilmater. (Victoria's, and now Marius, god.) And his sword has turned into a cane. (a cane with a blade.)

Yorgrim as Silas "Shepherd" Morgan

-----LORE-------- From the depths of Yona, a mercenary is invited to participate in an expedition to a land of death and suffering. He accepts stating that he has other business in Barovia and he could be glad to accompany the group under the condition he would work in peace when need it. Of course, he refuses to say the kind of work, you know, "professional privacy policy" and all. But by his reputation... It can't be good... -----DESIGN------- I was going to go with a funeral worker, but the scarf with teeth appeared and it changed the vision. The design takes more inspiration from Shepherd than Yorgrim, with the hunter theme, with the shotgun filled with blue magic and a list of hunts on red clay (that would be broken when the hit is eliminated.)

Briggsy "The Kutlass" Kratch as Professor Clayton Azran

LORE------- Briggsy may take the role of the professor, but he's not the expedition's leader. He's contracted by the University of Druskenwald to keep an eye on Marius (since the university is suspicious of the holy man). He accepts, without even wondering or caring what Barovia is, only happy to finally obtain a title under his piracy by the lords of Druskenwald. (He's getting paid to be a pirate, oh the dream!) DESIGN------ With his design, he was the last one and I was VERY tired, so... It's something weird? You know, a pirate trying to look like a "noble man". (but he's very much failing, he looks like a maniac I think)

Jericho Sticks/Virgil as Sarnax of the Edelwood

----LORE----- The cult of Gherix initially refused the university and the idea of letting them explore the runes in their forest. Until they accept but a month away from the expedition which is extremely suspicious. When the group found themselves in the forest, there he is, Jericho, a sacrificial figure of sticks and straw offered by the cult as a guide. (Of course, the poor, only brought to life months ago, strawman is a sacrifice in the name of Gherix that, by burning in Barovia, will give the god control over the whole region. / Indeed, Virgil is now Gherix we get an asshole god, give it up!) -----DESIGN----- Inspired by Wicker Man (giant figures of sticks and straw with animal sacrifices that are burned during Celtic rituals such as the Beltane.) Jericho is turned into a sacrificial figure who will burn when it's necessary by the light that keeps him alive.

Farryn of the Hartsblight as Kana Soyokaze.

-------LORE------- It isn't clear when or how, but Farryn ends up getting involved with the expedition. As a storm in sea, one day, the swordswoman appears out of the blue stating that she's also trying to find her way into Barovia. The deer refuses to explain her business with the "Divine" of all people, only holding her katana with anger and sadness, but she's clearly not looking to make friends. (She ends up being friends with the whole party.) -------DESIGN----- Based on the Sika deer (a Japanese deer), the design lingers more around the fusion character while keeping Farryn's figure, with the open skirt covered by her leg armour that goes up to her hips and the war paint, fur, and bone that stays in view.

Red Dead Redemption 2 College AU !

I'm ignoring reqs for a bit to indulge in my own thoughts and ideas and write some hcs for my college au on what i think their majors/lives as students/professors would be like, ahem... Long post ahead. Also this isn't too well thought out as of now, just wrote down some fun thoughts. Plz tell me your own headcannons

Arthur Morgan - Fine Arts

THE MOST UNEXPECTED MAJOR FOR A GUY LIKE HIM. He's the guy who's seen around campus wearing leather jackets, riding his motorcycle, brooding over a cup of coffee while he stares off aimlessly into the sky. So imagine him walking into your visual arts class with some of the most beautiful drawings you've ever seen. Has his own apartment near campus and his roommate is Charles. Entire place is littered with sketches and art supplies and billions of projects. His hands are constantly stained with charcoal. Takes his major VERY seriously, he don't play about his drawings and paintings. Works at a college bar and constantly comes home with a new story. Frequently visits John and the others after joining the frat, especially when they have parties. Never misses out on those. Became friends with Lenny through these parties.

John Marston - Civil Engineering

Probably one of the most miserable engineering majors you'll ever see. And that's only because he doesn't stress out over his work and procrastinates like he hasn't a care in the world; seemingly forgets he's in college. That is until the deadline is 11:59 PM that night and he has to cram two weeks worth of assignments into one night. Complains about heart palpitations when the area surrounding his desk is littered with energy cans. Joined a fraternity as soon as possible and lives in the housing. Party animal, drinks on weekdays with Sean and Javier. Throws absolute ragers on the weekends. Is the guy to yell "IF YOU'RE NOT PART OF THIS FRAT, THEN GET THE FUCK OUT" before turning to you and asking if you had fun. Has missed his 9 AM several times because he either slept in or is hung over. Was probably community dick for a while. Works at McDonald's part time, people genuinely don't know how he handles the stress. 60% of his paycheck goes to liquor/alcohol.

Javier Escuella - Music Theory

PASSIONATE about his major. HE DON'T PLAY ABOUT HIS MUSIC. But I can totally see him as the type of dude to sit around on the campus lawn with a guitar as a group of girls surrounds him and listens to him play. Is in the frat with John and lives in it as well. Also plays his guitar at parties with girls surrounding him, starkly contrasting the EDM and house music in the background. Shows up to class regardless of hangovers, he is very serious about his education. As serious as he is about partying. Shows up to class fitted every single time. Probably has outfit changes between classes. Type of guy to have his fits laid out next to his bed. He does the most. Was also probably community dick. Works as a cook at a restaurant, constantly flirts with you there. Gets all giddy in the kitchen with his coworkers when he manages to make you giggle.

Charles Smith - Anthropology

It's him and his laptop against the world. He's super neat, everything in one place. Any papers he gets are all neatly kept away and categorized per class. Is hard at work on writing an ethnography and is frequently out and about for observations. If he's not out then he's at home working on assignments. Also a frat member but like I said, rooms with Arthur. Has gained the quiet serious type reputation in class but once you start talking to him discover he's very friendly and nice. Probably works on campus as a student ambassador. Is very involved with school and activities; runs an enviornmental sciences club. Dedicates several hours a night to studying/working on assignments. Amazing student all around. The way he has his life together is enviable.

Kieran Duffy - Equine Studies

LITERALLY PERFECT MAJOR FOR HIM. Literally the happiest student around, his classroom is the stables. Works at the stables as well. Just spends 99% of his time at the stables so catching him outside of there is nearly impossible. Gossips to the horses and tells them about his day. I feel like he'd fall behind in his other studies though because he'd be way too focused on the horses. Typical, struggling student. Joined a frat out of pressure, got the WORST of the hazing. I don't even want to begin to imagine what the rituals were like. Probably gets black out drunk at frat parties, ends up on the front lawn and wakes up half naked every weekend somehow.

Sean Macguire - Business Administration

He's just insufferable like that. Whenever people shit on his major he just finds a thousand bullshit reasons as to why his major is better and more lucrative. Complains to John how hard his homework is and when John asks to see his screen it's addition with pictures. Probably went to college to party and realized "oh shit I actually gotta do school". Googled the highest paying and easiest majors and chose it like that. Puts more thought into what beer he's going to buy at the liquor store than his studies. Hotboxes his car 24/7. His room REEKS of weed and so does he. Attempts to disguise it with ax body spray. Will always ask you if you want to wake and bake; regardless of if you do or don't accept he's showing up to class high and with sunglasses. Goes nonverbal when he greens out. Works at McDonald's with John, is constantly late and is warned he might get fired but never does. Just fucks around in the back. I can imagine he and Karen are constantly on and off but when they're off he brings a new girl home to the frat every night.

Lenny Summers - Literature Major

Joined the frat because he thought he'd make good connections (LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER). One of the youngest pledges, went easier on him with the hazing. He's incredibly focused on his studies. You'd be surprised to find out he's a party animal as well because he's constantly reading a book in his free time. Definitely joined a book club with Mary-Beth and is taking Dutch's English class. Works on campus as well as the library; prides himself on his work and education. I believe he'd dorm because there's no way he's living in that filthy frat. Super organized dorm. Became really good friends with Arthur during one of the parties, also became close with Sean. Frequently gets driven around by Sean and gets second hand high from being in his car.

Bill Williamson - Army

Out of everyone he went to the army instead of college. But he definitely still hangs with the frat when he can simply because he's friends with a few of them. Frequently buys them liquor and supplies it to the younger members. Asks them how their classes are going and ends up falling into a rabbit hole where he's learning about infrastructure planning or astrophysics and tries his hand at doing their homework for them. It goes terribly. Drives a beat up pickup truck and you can hear that mf coming down the road 3 blocks away. Subtly tries (and fails) at flirting with some of the frat members.

Micah Bell - Criminal Law Major

Insufferable. Need I say more. Very money centric. Definitely thinks he's better than you because he's a law student. Kisses the professors’ ass all the time. Joins study groups and acts as if he's the smartest one there, tries to lead conversations, and views it as a challenge if anyone says differently than him during said discussions. He probably has an internship at a firm. Oh my god I can just imagine how sleazy he is. Also part of the frat and several of the members do not like him. Harasses the girls that show up. I can see him cutting off people during class or talking over them. Type of guy to say "not to be devil's advocate, but..."

Pearson - Culinary Degree

Came back to school to get his culinary degree. Mostly keeps to himself but has become acquainted with a few people and is actually decent friends with some. Pretty serious about his studies but is also chill, you can just tell he's extremely passionate about what he does. Excuses himself from hangouts by saying "sorry I got a pie due at 3." Loves it when he's able to sell some of his products back to students/general public and see how people react. Dreams of opening his own restaurant so he takes the accounting/marketing aspects of his degree very seriously.

Abigail Roberts - Education Major

I CAN JUST SEE IT YK. I can totally see her being a teacher, and she's super hardworking. I feel like her schedule is jam packed so she hardly ever has time for fun. Studies, does homework, student teaching, and takes care of herself and her son. So yeah imagine how busy she is all the time. Occasionally leaves Jack with his grandparents for a night of fun but that is few and far in between. Joined a sorority for support but wouldn't live in the house. Lives in the same complex as Arthur and they get along, sometimes he offers to babysit Jack. Drops off food for her when she's real busy with her studies. NEVER late to class. And besides handling ALL THIS, she'd work as a waitress at a restaurant by campus. Talk about hard working.

Sadie Adler - Agricultural Sciences

Definitely moved to live on campus from a rural town to pursue her degree. Joined the sorority early on but dorms. Suffered a breakup and found solace in the community the girls provided. Works at a local supermarket and volunteers at a community garden nearby. Her dorm is full of potted plants. Became really good friends with Arthur through Abigail, who has her over at times. I feel like she'd be asked on dates frequently but she always turns em down because she's still struggling to accept her breakup. I'm not making it a death because this AU isn't that BRUTAL. Argues with the boys often. Pearson frequents the supermarket she works at and she always makes a comment on the strange ingredients he buys. Thus leading to a weird tense air between them that they never directly address. Enjoys her coursework and never falls behind. She's on top of that shit. Also very outspoken in class.

Karen Jones - Biological Sciences

PREMED BABYYYY. On the path to becoming a nurse. She procrastinates a lot, is often late to class, BEGS her professors for extensions. Truth is she's a party girl and she will NEVER give up that party life. Constantly at several different frat parties, gets black out drunk on Saturdays, and on Sundays she's studying for her bio exam on Monday. Complains to her sorority sisters about boys, particularly Sean, to the point where they all HATE any man she gets involved with. And the next time they see Sean in public they're all glaring DAGGERS at him. Parties aside she does her work even if she puts it off... Her grades are decent, definitely passing, but everyone tells her she's gonna need to do better if she wants to go to med school. I can see her working at a retail store like Walgreens. Most miserable cashier you'll ever see. Probably lets you walk out with your items for free if she's particularly pissed off at work that day.

Tilly Jackson - Physics Major

SHE IS A SMART GIRL. One of the most hardworking on this list. Her grades are top notch and she don't play about studying. I can see her offering tutoring for math and even getting paid for it. She is not one to be underestimated when it comes to her academic abilities. Occasionally parties (aka gets dragged along by Karen) and enjoys herself, but I can't see her being a major party animal. Offers Karen lots of advice as well as helping the girls with math assignments when they need it. Joins study groups as well as math clubs. Works at a cafe on campus where Mary-Beth and Lenny visit her occasionally. Generally well organized. Has her shit together.

Mary-Beth Gaskill - Literature Major

ALWAYS has her nose in a book. Becomes extremely engaged in class discussions and has probably read every single book required for the semester already. Works at a bookstore and frequents the campus library. Is on the chiller side of partying but still accompanies the girls. She's very reserved but can be quite friendly. Writes fanfiction in the back of class while her professors think she's just passionately writing a report. Always gets extensions from Dutch, always. Even when she doesn't need em. I can see her reading a lot of philosophy books. Also an Otessa Moshfegh fan. Colleen Hoover is her guilty pleasure. Runs a blog about the books she reads. I can also imagine her being part of the school paper. Real close with Lenny as well, often hangs out with him at the cafe Tilly works at.

Molly O'Shea - Cosmetology

Shows up to her 8 AM with a BEAT face. Full face of makeup, decked head to toe in designer: designer purse where she keeps her macbook, designer shoes, outfit, accessories, etc. Probably wears brands you've never even heard of. Has a crush on Dutch, only reason she has perfect attendance in his class. Has a grudge towards Mary-Beth. Dorms for sure, even though she'd be able to afford housing nearby. The only times she's at the dorm is in the morning getting ready for class or at night to sleep. Hardly talks to her roommate either, not even a hey. Gained the stuck up rich girl reputation from her peers. Seen at cafes in between classes and is always alone. Is out of town and has been struggling to make friends. Lots of guys ask her out on dates and she only accepts when she's bored and wants a free meal. WILL make y'all go to a steakhouse, WILL order the most expensive thing on the menu.

Dutch Van Der Linde - English/Philosophy Professor

This guy definitely speaks about philosophy with a PASSION. His class is very engaging, though I do believe he'd play favorites with a few female students... This goes for both classes. Constant open ended discussions. Type of professor to ask you "but what do the blue curtains mean...?" Hardass with assignments unless you're one of those favored female students. No late assignments with him ever. You either turn it in at the deadline or you don't ever. I feel like he'd forget to take attendance frequently despite being a hardass about that too. Probably the type of professor that tries to integrate himself with the student body and try to fit in. Mildly successful.

Hosea Matthews - Theatre Professor

THE SWEETEST, KINDEST, MOST COMPASSIONATE PROFESSOR. ALWAYS excuses late assignments and very lenient, will not deduce points. His class is very fun and engaging as well! Does what Dutch tries to do and makes genuine connections with his students while keeping it professional. Tells his students they can always talk to him and come for advice. Frequently has lunch with Dutch and Susan and talks up just how great his classes are. Frequents the library and local bookstores; also goes to the cafe Tilly works at. I also feel like a lot of his relationships would have a fatherly air around them, like he's a second dad for a few of the students (we know who...).

Leopold Strauss - Business Professor

YOU CANNOT TELL ME HE WOULDN'T UGH. Probably a super boring class I'm not gonna lie. His accent would probably make it hard for some students to understand what he's saying, not to mention he probably speaks super softly and not loud enough for everyone to hear. He should've retired by now but he refuses to. There is no syllabus week with him, you got homework on the first day. But it's probably not even hard c'mon. Sean is probably the most lively thing about his class, but he's definitely falling asleep in there frequently. Always late to his own class, doesn't even say why, just gets into lecturing. NEVER seen without a cup of coffee. Sometimes there will be long moments of silence between lectures as he tries to figure out the technology. Falls asleep in his car after class.

Orville Swanson - Theology Professor

Also a super chill professor. He's probably super open to his classes about his struggles. He's able to facilitate well structured discussions and keep things civilized amongst his students. I feel like it could get boring because it's mostly lectures and slide shows but he'd still find a way to keep his students engaged, especially on discussions. I feel like he'd also be lenient about assignments, but his assignments would be rather large. Back to back papers. Type of professor to say hi to you in the halls or outside of campus and ask about your day. 10/10 guy.

Uncle - Biology Professor

How is he still working here. HOW hasn't he retired. WHY hasn't he retired. SOMEONE PLEASE make him retire. There are pros and cons. You will learn NOTHING in his class, so if you're unfortunate enough to land his class you better drop that shit as soon as possible. If you for some reason stay, you must be some sort of masochist. Probably has the best stories. As soon as you think he's about to start lecturing he goes on a tangent about a story that happened to him the other day. He has weekly tests and you might as well teach yourself the material because his ass definitely isn't doing it. Also has plenty of labs so he can leave you all to your own devices amongst each other while he sits at his desk and does who knows what. You can probably find him sleeping in a student lounge at any time of the day. Also the frat guys have definitely run into him at the liquor store.

Susan Grimshaw - History Professor/Sorority Mother

She's hard on you but only because she cares. Isn't very lenient when it comes to assignments but she's involved with her students. If she sees you struggling she'll pull you aside and ask what's up and figure out a plan to help you out in her class. Likes to remind her students she isn't their mommy but has a very motherly air surrounding her. And she is VERY on top of her girls. As a sorority mother, she makes sure they eat well, stay on top of studies, and deals with parents. Encourages the girls to keep up the general cleanliness of the house and tells them to work as a unit. Extremely proud of each of them.

“Alright, my sweet brain boy, I’ve got the dirt on the Doctor- not you, the other Doctor.  You know what I mean.”

Spencer nodded- then he, in all of his genius, remembered that Penelope could not see him.

“What did you find?” he asked, pulling his legs up on his office chair.  He hadn’t left the university grounds after his fight with you and his call with Garcia.  You had left.  He was sure of it.  His office window gave him a great view of the parking lot, and hence, a great view of you leaving.  Reid, on the other hand, had stayed inside his office waiting for this second call.

“Well, it looks like you may have some competition in the doctorate department.  Doctor (L/N),” she stressed your title, “Also has three PhDs- one in criminology, one in law, and one in- get this- English Literature.  They’ve written a few really good articles, mostly on crime stuff, but also on Pride and Prejudice.  And oh, their takes on Elizabeth and Darcy- it’s enough to make a girl swoon.”

“Okay,” Spencer sighed.  None of this would help him get back at you- most of it was knowledge he could attain with a casual google search, “What else do you have for me?”

“Well, our dear Doctor is active in the community.  They help ex-cons get GEDs in their spare time, they donate to various charities and nonprofits, they support the local arts. They've got a lot of hobbies, they enjoy Halloween a lot- oh, and their mom is super proud of them.”

“What else, Garcia?”

“They have two cats, a couple siblings, a few nieces and nephews- it looks like they’re good with kids.”

“This isn’t relevant,” Spencer groaned, trying to hide his frustration.  He was looking for ways to get under your skin the way you had gotten under his.  He didn’t need to know every nice thing about you.

“Hey, you want kids, don’t you pretty boy?”  A deep voice that was very much not Garcia’s came over the line.

“Morgan is here, by the way,” at the very least, Penelope had the decency to sound a little embarrassed.

“I can hear that.  How long has he been listening?”

“Long enough to hear that you and this Mystery Professor would make a good match.  I mean, where else are you gonna find someone with three PhDs and a face like that?”

Spencer could hear Garcia’s gasp, even though she had pulled away from the phone.  When she spoke again, her voice was playful, “We’re looking for him, not for you.  What would Savannah say?  What should I say?”

“Easy baby girl, I’m just letting our boy know that I approve.”

“Hold on,” Spencer’s voice broke through the bickering of his former co-workers, “I think there’s been a misunderstanding.  I am not interested in (Y/N) (L/N).”

“Oh?  Then whyfore the background check, boy genius?”

“Is something wrong, Reid?”

“No, no, it’s nothing- it’s not like they’re a threat to my safety or anyone’s safety.  They’re just…”

“Just what, kid?”

Spencer drew in a sharp breath, trying to keep his cool.  He had to be calm- collected.  He couldn’t let Derek and Penelope know that you were so deep under his skin, inside the tissue of his brain, that he couldn’t stop thinking about you.  He couldn’t keep his mind from running back to the image of your face, glaring at him as you took the typewriter from his hands.  They would get the wrong idea.  The entire wrong idea.  So, Spencer had to remain cool.

He immediately failed.

“They’re just really fucking annoying, okay!?”

“Damn, kid!  Okay!  What did they do, tell you that Doctor Who was just okay?”

“No, you don’t get it-” Spencer hissed, flopping further into his chair as he proceeded to rant about the entire typewriter thing.  He quoted you word for word, too- of course he did, eidetic memory.  Once he finished, Morgan and Garcia seemed to take on a new understanding of the situation.

“I see!  This wasn’t a love call, but one for information!!  A stockpile of knowledge for devious pranks- that is why you called, right?  You need info for getting back at the lovely Professor?”

“Yes-!  They aren’t lovely, but yes.”

“Kid, anyone who can make you write emails is lovely in Garcia’s book.”

“Listen to your local Morgan, Reid- now, do you have a revenge plot already?”

“Sort of?”  Spencer shared his plans with Garcia, smiling to himself at the sound of her laugh.  His brand of humor didn’t usually get that reaction. 

“Sounds perfect, Reid- I can help with that, but I’m gonna need a secure connection, Dr. (L/N)’s email address, and everything you know about the benefits of handwritten notes.”

Once the plan was fully fleshed out, Spencer hung up the phone and finally, finally made his way out of his office with a rare spring in his step.  His plan was set.  The trap was in place.  Your beloved technology would be your downfall.  As he stepped onto the Metro, he had to keep from cackling like an overdramatic villain.  He was at a high point, and he really didn’t want to be arrested for causing a disturbance.  

Meanwhile, back at Quantico, Morgan and Garica looked at each other, the now silent phone placed between them.

“So, those two are-”

“They are perfect for each other, yes.”

“We’ve gotta help him.”

“Absolutely.  Hey, once they get together, do you think he’ll introduce me?  I want to talk to Dr. (L/N) about their Pride and Prejudice hot takes.”

“Careful, Garcia.  We’re shopping for him, not for you.”

“Hey, I just appreciate a person who can see the true nuances in one Fitzwilliam Darcy!  And I wanna know which film adaptation is their favourite.”

“Hey, lovebirds,” Rossi’s voice came from the door of Garcia’s office, “The rest of us have been ready to go for fifteen minutes.  What’s the hold up?”

“Nothing, Rossi.”

“We just found a perfect match for one Spencer Reid.”

“Really?  Interesting.  Tell me more later.  Let’s go.”

-

Two days later, you opened your PowerPoint slides only to find a presentation about the benefits of handwritten notes.  Everything you had in place for that day was gone.  All that was in its place was a genuinely well-crafted presentation about how writing notes by hand was better for attention retention and memorization.  

Honestly, you couldn’t even get that mad.  It was a good presentation.  

Still, you had a reputation to maintain.

You bit your lip and crossed your arms, becoming the picture of barely contained rage.  You took a deep breath, turning to your students and slapping a strained smile across your lips.

“Forgive me, my lovely students, but given this sudden turn of events, I’m just going to cancel class for today.  The correct notes will be on the class website later.”

You made your way to the door, leaving all your belongings behind in your haste, “Enjoy your afternoons, I’m going to go stab Dr. Spencer Reid.  In the throat.  Have a good day!”

A few students gave quiet, confused farewells.  Others leaned over to each other and whispered, “Stabbing is a sex thing, right?”

Technically, they were correct.

The head boy and the troublemaker: Aaron Hotchner x fem!reader Hogwart AU.

Requested : Yes, by my fav @somest1, I really hope you'll like it dear. Had a lot of fun writing that one.

Summary: What happens when two best friend got separated at the sorting ceremony? And when that situation makes one of them turn into school troublemaker? And what if said troublemaker crossed paths with the head boy, who's main objective is to stick with the rules?

***

From the moment she stepped through the Hogwarts gate, her life has turned into a cruel joke.

Starting from the sorting ceremony of course.

“You should really relax, sunshine. It’s just a formality. We both know we are ending in Gryffindor together, right?” her best friend since toddler, Derek Morgan grinned reassuringly

“Right….” She muttered, not being so sure about it. Not anymore. Even though they have been talking about how much fun they were going to have while at school and how much havoc they were going to cause, y/n courage were slowly dissipating.

“Come on, smile a bit! Remember the plan, we are going to be another Weasley twins! Live up to the legend.”

“That is surely an ambitious project you have there, lovelies.” A blonde girl, standing behind two friends chuckled “Oh, hi! I’m Penelope, but you can just call me Pen.”

“Derek Morgan.”

“Y/N Y/L/N.”

“You know, Weasley twins are not the only legend in Hogwart” Pen continued “How about we make another golden trio? With a bit of gender swap?”

“Do you wish to be modern Potter or Weasley?” Y/N laughed lightly, but before the other girl could respond, one of the professors came forward and started calling names.

“See you on the other side of the hall” Penelope hugged the other girl “Possibly at the Hufflelpuff table”

“Yeah, no chance you’re stealing my best friend from me!” Derek retorted with a chuckle. Oh, those two already found some common ground.

Derek ended up in Gryffindor, obviously and Penelope got her wish come true when the sorting hat called the preferred house name after barely touching her head.

But for Y/N it did not go according to the plan.

“Slytherin!” the tiara called

Wait, what?! Slytherin?!   

***

“But professor!” the sorting ceremony has been barely over, but it didn’t stop Morgan from approaching the teacher’s table and causing drama “there’s gotta be a mistake! I mean look at her” he pointed at his confused and embarrassed friend “does my sweet girl look like a Slytherin to you?!”

“She doesn’t” Penelope chimed in.

“Mr Morgan! Miss Garcia! The sorting hat is never wrong and you have quite the audacity to even think differently let alone say it out loud “ Professor Krone (defense against the dark arts, ironically assigned as head of Gryffindor) spoke firmly. “Now. All of you will return to your tables and stop disrupting peace. Do I make myself clear?”

“No…..” Derek started but went quiet the second the professor reached for the wand “All right, shit, fine! But this is just wrong ! She’s not a slytherin!”

“Derek?” Y/N spoke before joining her house table “you’re not gonna leave me alone, are you?”

“Sure, not, sunshine.”

While Derek was hugging his friends both of them missed the watchful gaze of a specific third year focused on both on them.

***

Easier said than done.  The “not leaving” part.

It was no secret, than even though the distinction between houses  wasn’t as rigid as in the past, Gryffindor and Slytherin were still enemies. And can you imagine what could happen to first-year Slyth hanging out with a Gryff?

Y/N was quickly called a traitor. Too bad for her.

Now, you may think this worked both ways, for Morgan the same as for Y/N.

Yeah, right.

No.

Derek Morgan quickly became the Gryffindor favorite. No surprise with his boyish charm and wit and look. Pretty much everyone loved him and were ready to forgive him everything.  And he was also exceptionally good at making friends. In both his house (especially since he found out some  common interest with Gryffindor intellectual star, Aaron Hotchner aka Hotch) and some other (since he was still hanging out with Penelope). For some time he was trying his best to meet and hang out with Y/N as well, but as soon as the teasing started (somewhere in the middle of the first year) she practically begged him to cut down on it. Since then they were sneaking out to spend some time together. And it was from ideal.

And only then it showed up, that separated from her friend Y/N was the one to become a rebel, a troublemaker and the fright of the school, especially younger students.

But she knew he limits and always stopped before doing something so stupid it will result in her getting expelled.

***

Somewhere in the middle of third year, she had a first run-in with Hotch, who, being on his fifth became a head boy.  Thinking he had some special privileges coming with it.

As usual, she was sneaking out at night to meet with Derek, that part did not change, but soon the third person were to come in the picture.

“Y/N!” Morgan was far from happy to see her, the frown on his face speaking for itself. “What the hell are you thinking?”

“I’m sorry, what’s with the attitude?” she stopped halfway from hugging him, instead crossing her arms over her chest

“How long are you going to get yourself in trouble? It’s been like that for way to long, but this year? I don’t even recognize you anymore! You’re like a…. like a Malfoy!”

“What did you just say to me!?” she took a step  forward, punching his chest, her anger surging, the other hand instinctively reaching for her wand and only hurtful gaze of her friend made her stop “Oh my…..” she panted “Derek, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I never meant to….

 “I know.”

“You have no idea how hard it is to be hated by pretty much everyone in school and ….”

“I know.”

‘I just had to toughen up.”

“I know.” he assured grabbing her hands and rubbing them gently “but not like this, Y/n. Come on, it’s not you.”

“Do you two realize you should be lying in your own beds and not sneak around after curfew?” unmistakable, deep male voice came from behind and both Y/N and Morgan turned around.

“Hm, how wonderful. Y/n. Did you get a chance to meet our star head boy, Hotch?”

“I don’t really think so.” she muttered, taking her defensive stance again.

“I bet he can let us go easy, after all we are friends. Right, Hotch?”

“You can go, Morgan. I’ll talk to you later, but she stays.”

“I’m sorry, what? what makes you think you can order me around?” Y/N scoffed “you are not even head boy of my house. I don’t have to listen to you.”

“try to be rational about it.”

“Oh, I am more rational than you. cause from my point of view you are out of bed after curfew as well, Hotch.”

“I have a pass”

“You’re lying.” She spat and looked straight into his eyes.

Damn, he was good. His poker face and blunt eyes were showing no emotions at all. He was definitely trying to play with her mind.  But she was capable of that too.

“Honestly I have no idea, what you are even doing in Gryffindor. You have no courage in you. Smart, sure, intelligence, maybe, but courage? I don’t think so.”

“Y/n….” Derek just stood nearby watching his two friends banter. Eyes jumping from Y/N to Hotch and back the other way.

“What?” she spat again turning around “don’t tell me you are taking his side now!”

“Will you just calm down? I can make it easy for you or we can go the hard way. What’s your choice?” Hotch said with cold expression.

“Fuck you both!’ she cried this time really putting out her wand “If I’m going down at least I’m gonna do it in style!” and muttering some words under her breath she used the spell that covered the corridor in vines and the other that caused a little explosion.

She ended up in detention, obviously.

But her attitude definitely got Hotch’s attention.

***

The rest of the year were pretty much similar for all three of them. Y/N was causing trouble, Derek got into quidditch team and Hotch, well, he was pretty much studying for OWLs.  Spending hell lot of time in the library.

Surprisingly, one time, while being there he run into Y/N, who was just casually reading  a book, looking surprisingly peaceful and almost gentle. So different from the pose she was taking on a daily basis. And Hotch was slightly taken aback by the way she was focused on the book, flipping through pages and smiling lightly at some of the funnier part. For the first time he noticed how pretty she was. And then, almost sensing his presence she raised her eyes and laid them on his face. It was almost as she was staring right into  his soul. The bright, sincere gaze, showing her true nature apart from the rebel attire.

Damn, he was stuck. For a second.

After that, he noticed that her eyes were slightly wet, her right hand was trembling and she was slightly slouching. All of that being an indication of getting hurt.

“What are you staring at?” with a blink of an eye her calmness was gone.

“You took my studying place.”

“I’m sorry? Your studying place?”

“Yes.”

“Well, I’m not going to leave…..”

“We can share.” He retorted calmly

“What? You want to share your place with me?” she raised an eyebrow and tilted her head in confusion. What kind of game was he playing with her now?

“You seem comfortable here and I can handle it, if you keep quiet. I got OWLs to prepare too.”

“I know. Are those…. Are those really as hard as people say? I tried to learn some spells…. Only to mess around of course,  but…. didn’t manage to.“

“what are you even doing here?” Hotch came closer to the table and put all his stuff down, extremely curious what her answer would be

“It’s…. quiet.” She sighed, choosing to be open. “It’s nice to have some time for yourself to think about  ... things… And to be alone….”

“Without faking?” he asked

“Faking?! What the hell are you….?”

“I can tell you are not as tough and rough as you pretend to be.”

“You don’t know me!”

“Morgan talks a lot about you. Seems like I do.”

“Fuck, Hotch! You know what, let me give you an advice. First of all, you should blink from time to time, cause your lack of expression freaks people out. And secondly, stay away from me.”

Before the librarian kicked her out for disturbing the peace she rushed out the door leaving Hotch and his books behind. He was almost smiling.

***

Oh, he wanted to stay away from her, but she made it exceptionally hard by still disobeying the rules. And once Hotch got promoted to the main head boy of the school he was coming around her more often than not. Sometimes grassing her up, sometimes not.

But there was no denying that throughout the whole year of tormenting each other, they formed some sort of connection. And even though they tried to keep  it on the down low, Morgan noticed glances thrown at each other at the Great Hall, staring while passing each other on the corridor and the fact that Y/N became a bit less troublesome.

And one day he decided to confront her about it. While most of the students used the nice, warm day to hang out by the village green, Y/N took a stroll in the Forbidden Forest. Why not, right? It’s not like it was forbidden for the right reasons.

“Y/N! Wait!” he yelled seeing his friend disappear behind the trees

“What now?” she rolled her eyes in fake annoyance.

“Come on, stop with the pose. I know you missed me.” He grinned, his charm only growing stronger during the years “who wouldn’t?”

“I hate you.” she laughed and it was a sound he hasn’t heard for a while “but I’ll let you join me since you seem to want my company so desperately.”

“I actually wanted to talk to you about something.”

“Yeah? What is it?” she took off, walking the forest, watching her  every step carefully.

“Are you in love with Hotch?” Morgan blurt and the only response he got was a scream. Apparently Y/N was so surprised by his question that she slipped and hurt her leg

“Dammit Morgan!”

“I’m sorry! Can you stand up?”  he slightly panicked

“What do you think you idiot?! I’m bleeding! Because of you and your … your …. stupid ideas!”

“Stop yelling! Someone will catch us here!”

“Oh, you are so going down with me, Morgan. It’s all your fault.”

“What is going on here?”

“Great” Morgan threw his hands in the air in exasperation “exactly what we needed. The gamekeeper finding us in the Forbidden Forest. If I get expelled because of you  Y/N…..”

***

They did not.

Morgan was put in detention, for the first time in his life and Y/N ended up in hospital wing, bedridden with a twisted ankle. Once again, being the talk of the school.

And maybe those rumors were something that made Hotch visit her.

“Y/n. Heard what happened.” He walked through the door and sat on the edge of her bed.

“Yeah, the whole school did.” She muttered, switching sides so she wouldn’t have to face him. Morgan was right, she might have fallen for him and she did not like it. Unreciprocated feelings were probably the worst. “You saw it with your own eyes, you can go now.”

“ I’m not leaving.”

“Why not?” she mumbled closing her eyes, her back still to him. Honestly, she was worried that this would be the first time his face would actually show feelings. Pity, reproach, hatred “you are not supposed to be here.”

“Where else would I be?”

“I don’t know. Anywhere? Just not… not with me…..”

“Y/N.” he spoke calmly “turn around and look at me.” Shit, it was impossible not to obey him when he was using that deep voice.

“What?!” she spat, single tear falling from her eye.

“I …. Care. About you.”

“Why?  Why would you care? I’m the troublemaker! You are a head boy. It’s not…. It’s not right! I don’t know how and why I am still at Hogwart, I should have been expelled at first year. And you… you are going to work for the ministry one day and….”

“do you have any idea how many times Morgan and me got you out of trouble?”

“What….?” her voice broke a little “Why?”

“Maybe cause we…cause I… see more to you. I know what you have been through at Slytherin just because you got friends in other houses.” Hotch grabbed her hand and rubbed it gently, testing the waters for both her and himself. He was not used to feeling so many things for one person.

“I don’t need you to protect me!”

“I know.” he smirked. Aaron Hotchner smirked. “But I want to. And I want you to let me.”

“Let you what?” due to some crazy instinct she moved slightly towards him

“Let me care about you. Let me …. Love you.”

“No.” she shook her head “Please don’t say it, Hotch. Please don’t say it.”

“I feel in love with you.” he finally confessed. What he didn’t expect was that she would break into tears immediately, babbling absolutely incoherently.

“No….” she almost choked on her own words “No, you can’t. I can’t….. This is not right.” Her whole body was no shaking and it was a heartbreaking view.

“Then tell me to go away and stay away from you.” his eyes fixed on her face and it was impossible to keep an eye contact with him “just like you did in the library. Tell me you don’t feel the same way and I’ll leave you alone and won’t bother you anymore.”

“I can’t” she shook her head and sobbed even more “I can’t, cause I fell for you too…..”

Before she could break completely, two strong arms wrapped around her, hugging her tightly.

“Hotch….” She sobbed into his chest

“It’s all right.” He cooed, rubbing her back “you’re not alone. You never were. I’m with you. You don’t have to pretend anymore.”

“I don’t…. I don’t know if I can go back to who I was….. I….” she hiccupped and he hugged her tighter in an attempt to reassure her “I don’t know if the girl you see in me is still there.”

“She is. And we are getting her out, all right?” he whispered “I’ll take care of you. Just like I did for the past three years. Just not from the shadows.”

“Don’t let go of me….” She begged snuggling into him.

“Never.” he promised
