i thought a little bit more about the Cinderella Chuuya idea
Mouse Support Creature Dazai has the best interests of his soon to be princess friend in his heart. And maybe a bit of jealousy too.

something along the lines of princess protection program of 2010s dcom fame. steve harrington prince of a small italian-adjacent principality forced to flee the country when a military coup takes place.
blah blah he's placed with the buckley family in hawkins, indiana. what i Think would be funny is if all of this is going on and the upside down is still happening.
like steve is obviously not disclosing his identity to anyone except for robin and the buckleys. and like this would cause a lot of shifts in the canon timeline but in my Head . just off the cuff no draft no braincell just gut instinct.
thinking of a steve harrington who relies on tropey examples of what he thinks american "commoner" school is like. he comes off kind of ditzy and a bit out of touch, but he's also hot and charming so he's pretty much a hit.
maybe steve and robin having a really bad first meeting and in retaliation robin comes up with some convoluted story about steve being her out of control drug addicted cousin who got kicked out of private school and sent to hawkins as punishment. or like some type of story along those lines but unfortunately it just makes steve more compelling.
eventually eventually they become the platonic soulmates that they were always destined to be and robin moves to the little italian principality and is finally able to regularly flex her italian skills
ALSO buckley family characterization something found family and the buckley adoption of steve harrington like... well yes....
BUT back to the upside down happening.
like i kind of want steve to arrive earlier, but i think narratively it would make most sense for steve to be the new kid in 1983. he lives with robin, but they're not really on the best terms because steve just so naturally fit in with the jocks and popular kids from the get go. and like. he's a spoiled kid who honestly robin is projecting onto because her dad is away fixing STEVE'S country like... it's a little his fault.
the timeline goes on as usual except like? idk how the barb and nancy party would work out while living with the buckleys, but perhaps it would have been held at tommy or carol's in this world.
i think it would be Hilarious if robin didn't find out about the upside down until season 3 like she did canonically, but in my heart i know that if steve came home all fucked up like he was after literally Any of the Seasons (???), she would not have been able to sit still. like regardless of the level of dislike that's someone she's been living with and Kind of Enjoys being around (reluctantly). so robin would be in the know sooner or perpetually pissed bc steve is remarkably persistent in keeping his mouth shut
maybe could cause more conflict in s3 with the russians and possibly knowing his identity but ALSO possibility for some type of robin buckley slayage a la her father like.... if that sentence made sense to anyone then it made sense to someone
but i think i think the funny thing is nobody else knowing steve's backstory or situation, just kind of assuming that robin's initial bitter story about steve being a reformed drug addict was the truth. Lol and weird dynamics with eddie munson bc uh oh... is this gonna affect sobriety or like his comfort or smth .... moment...
but mr buckley coming home and finding steve and being like :P hey you can go home now :P and steve breaking down crying like he never thought he'd be able to see the halls he grew up running down again. or see the ocean from his childhood bedroom again. or talk to the same neighbors he's talked to since he was five years old.
and everyone sans robin being like wow didn't know like. fuckin chicago was that meaningful to u ... damn... were u a fugitive or smth bc u had a car and a license.
the prince reveal would have me clawing at the walls gnawing my leg off i think ... eyes rolling to the back of my head i have no way to truly verbalize this

book rambling don't mind me
the book kept saying anharion was his title... so was that also his name? did his name become a title when the Betrayal happened? does "anharion" translate to Betrayer or is that just what he's known as? was it a mistranslation from the old language? edit: I just reread the part where sarcean said he used to be called something else and now I feel like that's going to give away the whole ~is he the sun prince~ thing
I've seen some theories about the Collar and to what extent it actually controls james and like. as much as it would be less big and exciting to see it this way... what if the Collar is mostly symbolic? bc sarcean can talk people into doing what he wants anyway and james was obviously not immune to the charm (it's magnified for him even) well before will knew anything about himself or his powers so what if the collar was just a way to show other people that anharion belonged to him? but GOD if this moral stronghold of not wanting to manipulate james into kissing him and wanting him to do it of his own free will stops these boys from having a lil smooch for the majority of the third book I will Die
I've also seen people try to draw lines between will/sarcean and james/anharion as far as their past/present personalities and the consensus seems to be that will has a more clear line between himself and sarcean but I saw someone say it was more like intrusive thoughts and I think that's fascinating, also that will is seeing james and not anharion the betrayer when he looks at james but james in every sense is this cocky little asshole (affectionate) who flirts and uses his powers to take advantage of people while anharion in the past wasn't like that sooooo I think will isn't Seeing james as who he is I think he's seeing anharion for who he used to be before he turned against sarcean. which is so interesting when you think about will saying people shouldn't be judged by what they've done but what they can do
the tangled web of who hates who is so messy but I trust violet to, if not outright take will's side, then to convince the others to let him go like banish him or whatever instead of killing him right away (even if james's powers would physically protect him from that I just need violet to believe in him)
I'm still thinking about little 6 year old will setting a rich fucker's clothes on fire bc he laid his hands on a woman who was nice to him, how violet saved his life and he's spent every day after that trying to return the favor including using a newfound power he doesn't know how to control yet to set her free from a cage in another country
can't wait to see how the narratives shift when we get other perspectives on what the past was really like bc from what I can tell sarcean and the lady weren't really In Love they just had a fling one time
on that note I thought will was switched out for the girls somehow when they were kids but elizabeth was told her mother had a son before her and she believes that son is will, which would mean will is both blood of the lady and the dark king, which brings to question who his dad is bc they said it wasn't simon but I don't think his birth was a virgin mary situation, also I know sarcean got around but are will and simon's family related any closer than one ancestor thousands of years ago? is sinclair will's father?
I don't think tom and violet will fight to the death, tom may die in another way tho
what's the fourth kingdom and how does that pay into this? bc the first gate was in england the second was underwater somewhere and the third is in italy so the fourth...? on that note there must be more stewards alive who weren't in the hall when it was torn through, people who either left that life behind, or like cyprian at the beginning who didn't drink from the cup but still follow the lifestyle, or maybe like small covens of stewards who never went to the hall bc they found their own communities elsewhere idk it's just very eurocentric to think everyone from everywhere would meet up in this one place when the whole rest of the world exists
will needs some alone time after all this someone give him a safe place to rest and a hot drink
phillip and visander... and the unicorn....... love triangle of the ages... (I wonder if visander will find his way back into a man's body somehow or if he's stuck looking like katherine forever lol) (realistically. I don't think this man fucked his horse. but. metaphorically? metaphysically? whatever they had was probably as erotically charged as that magic scene right?)

OMG so I just got a cute headcannon for @phoenix-manga 's Diamond Crown Academy!! So I think Allison is a big fan of movies and she and Madison would binge watch movies together, which would make their father furious because they weren't practicing being 'ladylike' and it was a way of them rebelling against his values. I think they brought the movie watching to DCA, they would invite the dorm leaders to Futterwacken, even the general chaos of the dorm would not deter them, they would totally introduce the other dorm leaders, especially the girls or princesses who were not quite exposed to 'binge watching' movies, such as Briar or maybe Vidya and Kore ( My DCA dorm leader oc twisted from Megara from Hercules) and they'd fall down a rabbit hole (XDD Alice in wonderland reference💀) I think after they've watched movies at the Futterwacken Lounge Room, eventually they would expand the movie dates to each one of their dorms, (except Coquille, unless there's an accessible way idk), Pommeneige, Glastanzerin, Dragonstone, etc. They would bring popcorn and other snacks that they enjoy or are native to their culture. I'd think that Perrine would bring one of her....interesting food combinations to the movie nights that would gross the other girls out lmao. They would bicker in the beginning about what movies to watch, not calling names, Evonie and Allison LMAO, The others would eventually come up with a solution, each of the girls would get to choose whichever movie they wanted on the movie nights according to dorm order so Evonie, then Ella, Allison, etc. The girls would make up theories and conspire amongst themselves as to how the movie would progress and if there would be a plot twist, although some might get shushed by the others who were trying to listen to the dialouge😝. They have movie nights once a week on any day they're all free. The teachers and even headmistress allows it bc they think that the girls bonding over movies is adorable. Also, Puchi would definately want to join and snuggle under soft blankets while eating popcorn LOL.
Now, when it comes to personal preferences i think each of the girls would like different genres. Firstly Allison would love comedies, prank shows, really anything to do with fun and chaos. Evonie, Vidya, Kore and Jinlong would like movies with a strong female lead, who fights for what she believes is right and is confident in her goals and what she wants, the girls would feel inspired and overall motivated. Maybe Vidya would like whatever the twisted wonderland version of bollywood films are, she might get confused with the drama and the overly dramatic music that comes up during the arguement scenes tho. Ella would like a rom-com, maybe a cheesy love story that makes the others uncomfortable, with a charming prince like male lead and lots of lovey doveyness. Cerule would probably like i envision a kdrama for some reason. Something with a 'follow your heart and dreams' message. For Rozeline, i have many hcs. She'd like mystery and crime solving shows, something with a lot of thinking out of the box. But maybe she would also like horror and gore. Its funny imagining Rozeline watching horror jumpscares calmly while everyone else is shaking in their seats lmaoo. Elu may like a nature documentary or something that pertains to her likes of navigation. Perrine would enjoy cooking shows for new ideas and inspiration to add to her recepies. Lastly, Briar would like something family oriented, like a story where a found family is developed, it would make her both happy and sad because she longs for a loving family (SJFKFKRKEK I LOVE BRIAR SO MUCH THE MUNCHKIN NEEDS A BIG HUG ). I also have hcs of what my DCA OC dorm leaders would like to watch. Firstly Holly, (Twisted from Rapunzel from Tangled) would like a thriller or just something with adventure and exploring with plot twists. I already talked abt Kore so lets move on, Noelle (Twisted from Elsa from Frozen) would like something to hate watch, like a rom-com. She thinks romance is overrated and she watches romcoms for the sole purpose of writing page long reviews on how bad it was💀💀.
Bonus: If Yuu and Sophie joined their movie nights one night and Yuu brought the OG disney princess films from their world, and the girls are watching the movies and are just confused because, why do those princesses/heroines in the films look similar to their dorm founders, and by extent, themselves. And why do the villains remind them of certain wild boys from a prestegious school. Sophie would be a mix of curious, confused and excited while Yuu would just snicker in the background like the smug lil bug they are bc they know whats going on and decided to be a menace. XDDD but thats just my little hc on the girls hehe

info about my main WIPS rn:
i have too many WIPS shut up i know
original stories:
next christmas:
short story (kind of, if I say it's a short story it'll still be lots of words lmao) about two girls and a small look into their life each christmas and they're best friends who think their pining is unrequited and every time they're like "it's ok it'll happen next christmas!" and it just doesn't and they have to deal with lots of mental health stuff
main characters:
August: lesbian, she/her, i love her so much she's the loml, people pleaser, slowly realises that she doesn't have to be the second choice and she should be a priority, is a bit of an asshole to Lottie in like chapters 5-9 but Lottie deserves it tbh
Charlotte/Lottie: bisexual, she/they, kind of a bitch a lot of the time, gets into relationships for like a week and then gets into another one a month later, commitment issues, eventually has a redemption arc thing and she actually does deserve August
Ayanda/Aya: asexual, panromantic, they/she, they are my spirit animal i love her so much, August's new bestie, absolute sweetheart who values friendship over anything else, also basically the reason EVERYTHING happens in the story
everyone else is kinda irrelevant ngl
love is not enough:
name will definitely change I hate it.
plot is very complicated idk if I even understand it and I'm the one writing it 😭💀 basically gay royalty but it's confusing and the economy is dying and the main love interest is kinda a fugitive??? i guess???? lots of secrets yay
main characters:
kit chevalier-fernsby: gay (very much closeted), he/him, prince, science, slightly pretentious but that's his parents fault, he loves dates where they stay in with blankets and candles and hot chocolate and read books together. he's such a cutie patootie i wanna give him a hug <3
lucas akehurst: unlabelled, he/they, gaurd, hopeless romantic, artist, midnight walks in the rain + art galleries + coffee, mysterious. he is my baby i will protect him at all costs.
no side character information bc i can't be bothered <3
fanfics
hell is a teenage girl:
hunger games fic! finnick's younger (15 years old) sister going through her hunger games and gaining a lot of trauma. very emotion and relationship (familial, platonic, and romantic but the friends she makes are arguably more valuable to her than her relationship). basically she goes through what finnick goes through and she learns to be a manipulative little shit bc what else is she meant to do
main characters:
serena odair: loml. bisexual icon (with a preference for woman) who is a little bit manipulative but let's be real when you're in the arena you do whatever the fuck you can to stay alive. district four, she wins (duh she's the main character) and her brother means absolutely everything to her. spoiler: trauma yay
cassie farwater: serena's best friend! district 11 and a mean lesbian. 16 years old and her friends mean the world to her. her loyalty is what gets her killed.
eloise astor: serena's gf!! district one – been training for the games her whole life so it comes as a big surprise when she sacrifices herself for marina!!
kaz claremont: the district partner/close friend – he's quite and determined and he listens. he knows all the gossip. very impulsive and bold. panromantic + asexual
ash terra: the only person who gives serena a run for her money in the manipulative category. he's an absolute bitch and will stab anyone in the back without hesitation. makes it clear to everyone that this isn't a game of trust. district 3
sadie nightgrove: district 5, cassie's gf. bisexual. very charming and puts on a clueless facade before turning on people. despite being absolutely able to win the games she would never hurt the people she's allied with - and that is her downfall
mad woman
sequel to hell is a teenage girl and yes it's named after the taylor swift song. quarter quell and lots of serena and finnick sibling bonding. very protective finnick and very manipulative (not to finnick) serena, they're a power duo.
serena is like the only original character in this so she's basically the same just more traumatized and hotter.

Hey! Love ur writings 💗
Can i request a continuation sort of ? ( idk what to call it bcs english isn't my first language ) where of the commander fic where gojo goes to a big war but this time he isn't accompanied by commander ( or empress ? ) reader bcs she's looking after with political affairs n all of the empire n making it prosper even more n all. But this time the war gojo went to got him hurt sort of by magic(but he still won the war) which never happened before actually but hearing this news reader goes to him before it's too late and like comes back with him and takes care of him >.< ( we get to see a strict and caring side of hers on satoru bcs he has gotten hurt which isn't THAT much but considerable enough ) which creates a scene sort of that she's gojo's lucky charm sort of bcs they have always gone to wars n battles together n gojo never got hurt even tho reader never had to necessarily protect him. Then the magicians who wanted to kill gojo are imprisoned n tortured by reader bcs how dare they try to hurt her dearest. ( so we get to see a sadistic n "demonic" side of hers atleast to the perspective of the magicians who are tortured by her). I wud love reader's now even more increased power especially political n regal power to be portrayed as she's the supreme ruler of the empire,the regent empress ( along with gojo obvi ) .
Commander pt.3

A/n: I think it doesn't need a description since everything is above 😅
Words: 3,5k
Warnings: Torture, war, wounds
Tumblr media
You'd never believe anyone if they told you you'd see a prince go to war alone without you.
You always rode with him.
You often traveled alone. And every time he left, you went with him.
Standing by the open door, you watched him as he adjusted the metal fragments on his clothes.
He's not that kind of soldier. He doesn't fight as heavy infantry. His clothes are light. Like you, he only has sheltered places where he's most vulnerable.
Hands, legs. But everything else looks different than armor. To be able to move torsionally and quickly.
After all, Satoru is no ordinary soldier who runs around with a weapon. Satoru is skilled in hand-to-hand combat. His family is one of the most important families of sorcerers.
They are not sorcerers who walk around with a magic wand that shoots lightning bolts.
Sorcerers from such families have an energy that a normal person cannot control. Everyone's energy is arranged differently.
You don't know anything exactly, but you've heard that the technique of one of the important family is to control their own blood. You don't know if it's true, but you believe it is.
And the clan you serve, and soon you'll be a member with their name, is the strongest.
Recently, before you found out that Satoru was going to battle without you, you found out that your Satoru was born a miracle. You spoke to his father, your future father-in-law, and he told you that of all living people on earth, his son has a power that nothing can match.
This power was used to kill demons. Nothing else will kill demons completely except these powers. Ordinary weapons will only kill their flesh. But the demon that was slain by the sword that the common man carries will respawn after some time. His body will reappear and you will have to kill this demon again.
That's why there are so many demons. Because more are born than die. It's all because the army doesn't have the right weapons. And they don't have to have it.
In each branch of the army of this kingdom there are sorcerers whose task is to kill demons during the fight. In the ranks of every enemy army there may be someone on whose shoulders this thing sits. They can take human form or enter the body and even take over a dead body. That's why it's the sorcerer's job to get rid of them during fights.
A few also defend cities.
The capital city is safe from them as your fiancé's energy is said to drive them away. But the stronger ones come anyway.
It would be unthinkable for a crown prince to walk around the alleys and protect the entire capital alone.
Well, he does it anyway because he often gets bored and can't sit still.
But added rule about demons and armies.
In every army unit, in every branch there is an elite. A group of the strongest soldiers from a given unit.
When they are made elite, they get one order.
"Kill the enemy. People, sorcerers, demons. Everything that stands against the empire"
Sorcerers were often the elite. Who, even without badges and victors, became the elite for being able to do much more than a normal person.
The elite are sorcerers, but also other knights. People with outstanding skills. Anyone with sufficient skill in combat or magic could become an elite. For example, people summoning demons. Or rather curses... They have curse-soaked pieces of paper that summon subordinate "demons".
The elite knights who are human are more than that. They rely on their own skills. All they get is armor and weapons soaked with curses and energy. This makes them much more durable and strong. They can fight any opponent. Because they can completely destroy a demon with this weapon.
Satoru, apart from such a weapon, has his own power.
You only know about the barrier that cannot be penetrated, about the bullets that suck something inside or explode. And also that his eyesight is better than the eyesight of others. You don't know if there's anything else.
When you see him take the sword and tie it to his belt, something inside you snaps.
You can't grab your Sword and help him... Because you have to learn a lot about running a country. Already, being the prince's fiancée, you have been given responsibilities. First, preparations for the wedding. Planning everything. And also as a strategist, helping the emperor in directing the movements of the troops at the front and when defending the borders. There are always battles with demons. Because demons don't have one ruler. They go after the strongest.
And you only know one person who can control demons.
And also only one demon who is their king...
There are often fights.
But today, Satoru is going to battle with humans. There will be knights and sorcerers. Perhaps even a few demons. No one ever knows whose side these beasts will be on.
You have defeated so many in your life. You took so many lives. That's why you have no qualms about taking more of them.
You can stay or go. It makes no difference to you. Because you really love being close to Satoru. Now you're even closer. That's why you stay where you need to stay. Always next to the prince.
But this time you can't go.
You would help him, but you also can't.
You would protect him. You would assure him that he would come home safe and sound.
Even though you know he'll be fine, you're worried about him.
What if they somehow break through his impenetrable barrier and hurt him?
What if some other sorcerer does something to him?
Then what?
"You've been looking at me like this for 10 minutes. Everything's all right?"
You were pulled out of your trance of thoughts by your lover's voice.
But it still took a while for you to answer him.
looked at his face, completely devoid of any concern. He looked at you with the same eyes as always. Full of love, and as always, you could see those little sparks.
"You're not answering me? Something happened to you." He said as he approached you.
Looking ahead, you listened to his voice, which made you feel better, but at the same time made you want to argue. You wanted to argue to go. You'd rather die than let him die. You will do anything for him. He is so important to you. He is important to the entire empire. But it's more important to you.
Looking into the dark fabric of his clothes, you saw a steel thread woven into his clothes. Strengthening and protecting. Infused with power to protect him even more.
It is a great honor for the knights to have their commander in chief - that is you.
For the knights it is even more honor when they are led by the crown prince. In the oath they took at the beginning of their knightly lives, it is written to protect the crown even if it meant death. Protect the emperor, protect the prince. Protect the royal family, which is what you're up to now.
Even though so many people will protect Satoru, you believe that something can happen anyway.
Over 1000 people standing in front of him to fight. Then the elite, the people you rule over... Now, unfortunately, your deputy is in charge, even though this man is trustworthy. You don't know whether to classify him as a heavily armored or a samurai. Because it's kind of a combination of the two. A man who puts the safety of others above his own... You trust him that he'll be able to protect Satoru, but you still think you should go too.
"(Y/n)?"
You took a half step closer and rested your head on his shoulder, feeling the cool metal against his clothes.
"Everything is fine, right? I'm worried about you now..." He murmured, gripping your waist in leather gloves, pulling you closer.
"...I'm the one who's worried... You idiot..." you said placing your hands on his stomach. "Why can't I go with you? Then nothing will happen to you..."
"I will not endanger you. To keep me safe." He kissed your forehead. "I'll be back before you know it. Everything will be fine with me. You know me and you know what i can do. Besides, I don't need protection. I should be protecting you now. It is the husband's duty to ensure the safety of his wife and children."
"I know... But I don't want anything to happen to you... After all, the opponent is strong... And it will be in such a place that they can attack you from behind right away..."
"You've been looking at maps and reports, huh..."
"I am the commander and adviser to the emperor in military matters. And now your fiancée."
"I know... I don't mind, and thanks for the warning. I'll be standing there anyway, and you know that my attacks from afar will be much more successful." he laid his head on yours. "Besides, Suguru will also be with me. You know that nothing will happen. Be calm. I will get back to you as soon as possible. I promise."
Would you stop being afraid... Your deputy in the duke's guard will be there to protect him, and so will Geto...
Satoru's best friend and also the person you are on par with when it comes to politics. He is the sorcerer general of the kingdom.
You don't know who's stronger, you or Satoru. You also don't know if you're stronger or Geto.
You're friends and you don't want to fight. Even though this man seems dark at times. The only man you know who can control the demons he kills. They live in him and he summons them when he needs it. Plus, he's a martial arts master, no matter if he's armed or not. He will never wear armor, but wears baggy black clothes with his hair half-tied. He plays many roles. Satoru's friend, the Sorcerer General, adviser on demons, conducts training as much in combat as in teaching Jujutsu techniques. On the battlefield, he is a scout and commander, but also participates in major fights, helps protect with his demons. And you've also heard that when he can, he helps children who have lost their parents.
You admire this man for what he does.
Maybe you'll stop worrying...
I was wrong. I was so wrong. Your bad feeling didn't pass. You still felt like you were about to lose something. Like you're about to cry from loss.
After you told Satoru's father about it, he let you go...
He told you to take the fastest horse there is and go there.
Thanking him, you just grabbed yours weapon, put on your pants and started running as fast as you can.
On the run, loosening the obi of your decorative kimono, you didn't even waste time going through the gates. You just jumped over the wall separating the garden from the horse stables and chose yours.
You've seen the banners of the empire. You saw the fighting raging beyond the hill. Fire as well as colorful flashes that indicate Satoru's technique. Sometimes you also saw a flying demon that was under Geto's power.
As you got closer, you saw Satoru. On the hill, close to him, a group of elite soldiers guarding his safety.
You saw something flying towards him. But suddenly it crashed on his barrier.
You drove even closer and saw something kneading the grass behind him. As if it was invisible.
And suddenly a man appeared behind him, swinging a knife, stabbing him down.
You saw drops of blood flying.
And the knife blade protruding from the white-haired man's belly. In the weak spot of armored clothing.
"Satoru!" you shouted jumping off your horse. Your scream made his security guards turn towards you, also seeing the man who attacked his.
When the man suddenly disappeared, along with the knife, you realized it was a sorcerer. And this knife was made of energy only, disappearing when the sorcerer who created it let go of it.
He left before the swords of the knights reached him.
You ran over to Satoru who was standing breathing heavily, drops of blood oozing from his mouth. Eyes wide, hand on stomach.
But he still stood there.
That's why you practically pushed and rolled him over to get him to lie down.
"(y/n)...?" He asked softly, looking at your face.
"Shut up! I told you something was going to happen!" You screamed feeling tears welling up in your eyes.
"Everything is fine. I'm fine. It's just a scratch. I'll be fine." He said with a slight smile as his eyebrow twitched and he sweated.
"Shut up! Don't even move! You had a knife in your stomach piercing you right through! You can bleed out!"
When you told one of the knights to bring you a first aid kit from your horse bag, you kept him on the grass. You told everyone else to watch every flank. And to have weapons at the ready, which came in handy when they attacked from the flank.
"I'm fine... I've had worse... His knife just interferes with my techniques and made a temporary hole in infinity..."
"Satoru, please, don't move!"
"It's okay baby. Shoko is in the capital. I'll live..."
"Geto!!" You shouted hoping he heard you.
Suddenly you saw a demonic horse that came running next to one of the knights.
"Wha–?" He didn't finish before he saw his friend lying on the ground with his head resting on your thigh, your hand pressing clean cloth to the wound that was wrapped on both sides. "Satoru?!"
"Hey, Suguru. I'd wave to you but my fiancée will kill me if I move...!"
"You better stay still!" He shouted, picking you up as he dismounted and he disappeared.
"Geto, do you know how many sorcerers they have?" You asked hastily.
"Three." replied.
"Do you know which one can vanish and materialize knives out of energy?"
Suddenly you saw a rain of arrows flying towards you, and you instinctively defended Satoru with yourself.
One of the elite appeared in front of you, spreading a large shield in front of you.
"Geto–!"
He was still standing there, before a black hole appeared from which a demon came out, from which arrows and glowing knives bounced off.
When the shelling stopped, the knight walked a bit further.
You saw one knife fly into the hand of the dark-haired man.
"A knife like that?" He asked, showing it to you as he gripped the blade with his fingers.
"Yeah."
"I know which one it is. It's been bugging me for a while."
"Can you capture him? And send him straight to the dungeon?"
"Crap... I already know what will become of him." He laughed. "Fine. He'll be yours soon. Stone golems are immune to his attacks. I have a few more of these demons. I'll finish it quickly. Even the whole war."
He waved his hand, sending the demon to the front.
"Should I end this war?" he asked quietly. "After all, the prince's life is more important now..."
"Suguru, don't overdo it... And don't forget that you can't use multiple curses at once. You can't guard that much..." Satoru muttered before you silenced him with a glare.
"Call retreat." He said to the knight who shielded you.
Suddenly you heard a horn sound and the knights started running away.
"Let's let those who haven't had a chance to have fun yet." You looked at the dark-haired man's dark smile as he moved his hands slightly, opening just behind the fleeing knights of your empire a long black hole from which demons started to come out, immediately jumping on people.
"Can you take him to Shoko-san?" You asked him clenching your teeth. Looking into Satoru's tired eyes as he snuggled against your thighs, a little paler than usual.
"Of course..." he said seriously. "And your sorcerer is already taken to the dungeon, when we return he will be waiting there."
"What shall I do?" the tall dark-haired man asked, looking at the chained sorcerer.
"Something to make him suffer, Toji-san. After all, it's your job." You said to him, looking straight ahead without fear. A room covered in dried blood. With knives and pliers. With chains on the walls.
"So, as always, a little torture, right? Sure, cool. It will be done. Until death or..." He put his fingers on his chin standing next to him and looking at the unconscious guy.
"You're a bounty hunter, a contract killer, and you work occasionally as an executioner.. I believe you won't kill him that fast."
"Executioner is just a part-time job. I don't mind the blood or suffering of people. But I didn't think I'd have a sorcerer here."
"I've already arranged with the Emperor that you'll get a bonus on your salary with him." You muttered.
"How generous." he licked his lips. "Something concrete?"
"Basic. Pulling out nails, then crushing fingers, then cutting off. Pulling out teeth, cutting tongue, chains, burning skin."
"Cruel. No wonder everyone respects you. Miss commander... Oh, sorry. Your majesty, future empress."
"I'm getting a little tired of this because I want to go to Satoru now..."
"yeah yeah. I already know. He's not going to die, is he?" he asked, pointing to a bucket of ice water for his subordinate to wake the sorcerer up.
"He's not going to die. Do all of that, then have it sent to the Demon King, Sukuna. As a small gift from us for the peace that reigns between us and our empire and him and the demons of his realm."
"Even more cruel. But I like it. If we're playing monstrous sadists, maybe the wolves will castrate him?"
You started walking away. Your body pulled to see what was up with Satoru already.
"...Toji-san. I'm giving you free rein. Choose one torture from you for him. I have to go now."
"Fine. Just don't let anyone tell my son what I fed those poor wolves..."
Entering the room, you saw the White-haired man lying on the bed without a shirt, while the brown-haired woman was treating his wound.
When she saw you, she moved her hand away from his stomach.
"(y/n), I've healed the whole wound on my back, but I need to get to the infirmary quickly. There's a lot more work waiting for me there, and it's urgent. I'll be back later to complete his treatment completely. Please put a bandage on him and tie a bandage."
She walked away from him and walked quickly past you.
This allowed you to run up to your lover, and you began to lightly wipe his wound with water.
He hissed with his eyes closed.
"Could you go a little lighter, Sho–"
He stopped suddenly when he saw you instead of the other woman.
"I'm sorry honey. I thought it was Shoko... I'm a bit confused..." he murmured laying his head on the soft pillow.
"It's okay. lie here. You lost some blood and that's it. Just rest." You said as you applied a clean cloth made from plants that help heal wounds to his wound.
"You were right. I could hear you."
"Exactly. You could have been more careful..." You felt a lump go down your throat when you heard that. You could cry right now...
"Excuse me. But I am alive. I'm here." He said grabbing one of your hands and lifting his head slightly.
"Lie down." You smiled slightly, placing your hand on his forehead.
To put a cold compress there later.
"Have you been to the dungeon yet?" He asked and you nodded your head. "You know I don't like Toji... What did you make him do??"
"All the worst. As always. They will send this man later to Sukuna as a gift for the ongoing peace."
"...it's a good choice. You see? You're fit to be an empress like no other. By taking revenge for me, you are also doing good for the empire."
"Thanks baby." You applied a bandage to his stomach, pressing your hand under his back to grab the other end.
While you were focusing on it, he was looking at you.
"You are my happiness" he said suddenly. "And you also bring me happiness even on the battlefield... Auch..."
"Relax. Lie down. It will stop hurting soon. Just wait for Shoko-san. It will help you. You will feel better.
Finishing applying the bandages, you ran your fingers over your work. Drawing little circles on his muscles.
"...Massage me lower. Then I'm sure I'll feel fine." He chuckled.
"Even when you're injured, you're perverted."
"I can not help it. You're just so beautiful. So caring... I just love you so much."
"Love you too."
You laid down next to him, letting his face rest on your chest.
"I'm glad I can be with you forever."

What do you think of siren!tzu with sailor!momo?
Idk motzu kinda filled my mind lately
omg i love motzu!! sailor!momo has formed images in my mind that i can never forget (imagine momo in a prince eric type outfit...)
i think siren!tzu and sailor!mo would have fun dynamics! they've both got an air of indifference around them which is exactly the charm of their pairing imo!
i kinda love the idea of momo not knowing about sirens (yes shes a sailor but shes just there for the vibes), and tzu being the type who isnt interested in killing anyone but likes the thrill of scaring ppl 💀 like one day momo comes out to find her entire crew in a panic, trying to muffle their ears bc they've spotted tzu, but momo's just genuinely confused 😭 maybe she catches a glimpse of tzu and asks her whats happening, and tzu's just surprised that momo isn't scared!
i think tzu will be the one who becomes infatuated with momo first, so there'll be a lot "how-do-i-see-her-again-without-other-sirens-killing-her" :(( she'll sort of quietly protect momo, so momo will be the only sailor who dares going into tzu's siren territory bc tzu scares everyone away + momo genuinely thinks everyone else is making things up bc tzu has never scared her before!
sooner or later, momo starts going there not just to fish,, but simply because she wants to see tzu,... (which makes for a lot of quality bonding time 🫶)
lots of capacity for angst, as with siren aus... but i'll keep it fluffy for now! my mind is definitely filled with motzu thoughts too 😄

Skloom child(teenage years) headcanons 🥺
Omg bestie I don't have oc fankids, I can't get specific. I can try tho 😭😭
Unsurprisingly both of the kids want to take after their parents...and Daphne
The child with the dragon fire was raised around a lot of things about how cool and awesome their mom Grandmother and Daphne where and how badass their powers are and I think the kid would be....not egoistical, but obsessed with becoming the best because of how all the women behind them where amazing
When they official start going to Alfea is when the pressure sets in. Probably ends up becoming a friendly rival with....maybe Aisha's kid? Or Dia's kid. Just someone who their friends with, have been around most of their childhood, and are equally competitive with
Everyone in the school has their eyes on them, but they're used to this at this point. They've been outside before
They work really fucking hard on their magic (much like Stella did) and managed to get their basic manifest before their first year, which is odd
I feel like they'd also be the odd man out for being more masculine than their peers. In what form, idk, but they have Musa/Tecna fashion vibes ok?
Girselda takes great pains, as the new headmaster, to keep the new little headache (affectionate) safe
Of course they'd be the leader of the next gen Winx club, but they'd probably name their club after something else fairys are known for
Flora might be there every now and then as a guest teacher, which they love, bc aunty!!!! Flora!!!!
This child is a bit of a thrill seeker (it runs in the family, Marion and Daphne where uhhh....let's just say the kid gets this trait honestly)
They want to protect the magical dimension the same way their mom did, and is already talking about the Harmonix quest. All the teachers have a headache, and Bloom is trying to get them to calm tf down
They will not calm tf down
Very polarizing to their peers for being a fucking try hard lol
I feel like they'd inherent more of Samara and Daphne's personality which leads them to be both reckless as fuck and cunning to a fault. This child is smart and has the drive to do something really stupid. Frankly it's a horrible combination
The non magical one probably takes more after Bloom and Sky, being kind and protective to the point of getting themselves hurt for just about anyone. Which is a trait Bloom and Daphne inherited from Oritel
They're obviously a star student in RF, having Sky as their dad and help from uncle Helia? Yeah this kid knows what their doing
Didn't inherent the impulsive tendencies Sky and Bloom are known for tho
Did however inherent Bloom's ability not to get scare easily
The siblings break into the stables and take a dragon for a joy ride at least multiple times on Domino....and on Eraklyon
They both try to be princess and prince charming, like their parents seem to be (especially according to the media) but Dragon kid is impulsive, scheming, and reckless with a good loving heart; and their sibling tends to come off as a door mat....they're trying their best to live up to their parents legacy, not understanding that this legacy isn't perfect
With Bloom and co still around, neither of these kids will have to step up in the way that the Winx and the *inset Roxy's group name here* had to, so they learn that it's ok not to be pushing yourself 24/7. That it's not required to be special to be worth love, or to justify their existence
They're just dorky kids with a lot of stuff they think they need to live up to because that's all the media tells them

nghy mdsns... explosions. ok idk i just rlly think nagisa singing kakkyoku naritai and hiyori doing kawaiku naritai and the. "i'm gonna be cool ... for you." -> "i'm aiming to be your prince charming!" and "i'll become so much cuter so look out for me, okay?" -> "become a heroine for today" but also. I AM IN LOVE W. the fact that they both embrace each other outside of the perfectly crafted, idealized version of themselves everyone else has created. midori loves sena even if she isnt exactly like "the perfect girl" shes supposed to be because that still makes her sena and he loves that girl entirely and sena loves midori because she's HER prince, whether or not he falls under the standard of romeo and who knows who else, its the way sena saw thursday's scandal and simply thought "who tf cares. IM PROUD OF NY BOYFRIEND" and that nagisa loves hiyori beyond the idea of her "heroine form" bc hes always thought she was cute (see: "finally your cuteness has come to light / sukiuso) and that hiyori doesnt need to dress up or do so much to get people to like her or to not be a mob character because nagisa KNOWS shes alr a heroine!! to him!! ouhah. i have more thoughts but my head is doing this fun little thing called spinning at 1.5mph ILL BE BACK
OOOOGH....YOU'RE SO RIGHT......
Also in sisxlove when Mona thought that Sena's boyfriend was probably a prince, Sena was like "he's not really a prince...but it's okay, he's my prince!"
And that's the vibe that I feel like Yujiro or Aizou (as Mona) would have for Hiyori and Hiyori thinking how Nagisa may not be a perfect prince, but he's her prince and she loves him so much

care to share the books lol ? i myself am trying to get thru my tbr … it’s not looking too good 😞
the mid: one night wife by ainslie paton / i am aware this sounds terrible but in fairness the set-up justifies it a bit lol. basically it's about a girl trying to get her charity program off of the ground and miserably failing until one night she catches the eye of this guy who's a professional grifter masquerading as a venture capitalist. he grifts rich people and redistributes the earnings to the poor. and he decides to help her out by using her as his "one night wife" to scam all of these so-called rich people by pandering to them together as a charming couple. except she doesn't know she's being used. and ofc they'll fall in love with each other. etc etc. the premise genuinely is very interesting but idk for some reason i can't connect to the characters. paton was a journalist before she went into fiction writing so everything is very fast-paced and to the detriment of really developing any investment in the characters
the terrible: the mis-arrangement of sana saeed by noreen mughees / so this girl is thirty three and unmarried (shame! shame!) which would not normally be a problem except that her mother won't name her as her autistic brother's future guardian unless she's married bc financial and emotional security or whatever. so she goes through your standard string of rishta meetings. all the while pining for her childhood friend whom she hasn't seen in like eighteen years bc their families fell out with each other and he moved away. except that at work she gets assigned to this new project with the deputy attorney general of the state and lo and behold it's said childhood friend. but she doesn't know that bc he changed his name and it's been eighteen years. but he knows who she is. and they're going to fall in love or whatever. i'm not very far through this one but the mc grates on me bc she's ridiculously immature for someone her age. some of it comes down to personal preference i suppose bc i'm kind of fed up with desi women's obsession with austen and finding their perfect darcy/wentworth adjacent prince who will sweep them off of their feet. not that desi women aren't entitled to that kind of love but the way the mc narrates it she sounds positively juvenile and i can't take it seriously. also i'm already getting inclinations that her autistic brother is barely a character and merely a plot device so that's swell. and the icing on the cake is ofc the full display of deranged and exaggerative desi family dynamics bc what else do we have to display of our culture but obsessive marital practices
the long, but good: the zoya factor by anuja chauhan / interestingly this one is the most wish-fulfillment aligned of all three of these but the execution of the premise is so well done and it clearly knows how to handle its whimsy so i'm genuinely enjoying it. the mc works in advertising and she gets roped into working on a photo campaign with the national indian cricket team. the captain of the team is ofc a surface-level ass uninterested in the campaign and intent for the team to focus on practice bc they've been on a bit of a losing streak. one day the mc ends up having breakfast with the team and she lets slip that she was born the very minute india last won the world cup so her family has always joked she's lucky. the very same day the team ends up winning their game. so word gets loose and suddenly there's this outcry from the public and the team that she has to become their mascot and permanent good-luck charm. except that the captain is obv still an ass and a very hardcore believer in "my results are only the product of my work ethic and never a concept so ridiculously amorphous as luck" so there's some head-butting involved. the fame is going to go to her head, the captain's going to try to keep her grounded all the while falling in love with her bc she is all things considered relentlessly charming, and there will ultimately be the question of whether it's entirely healthy to place so much self-worth in the idea of your own necessity to someone rather than relying more on the idea that they want you for who you are. it's very good stuff and to make things even funnier the mc constantly compares the captain's eyes to chocolate-flavored boost energy drinks which i personally think is a fabulous jab at authors' tendency to describe eye colors with food items. so i'm having a lot of fun

Astrology Observation/rants? #1
❤️I’ve noticed that people who have venus unaspected in their chart are incredibly attractive idk why???
👸Moon trine/conjunct venus is such a nice placement to have in regards to people in general but especially to the opposite sex. I feel like ppl tend to treat you more gently and kindly bc of it’s feminine energy. It gives a prince/princess charm to the natives mannerisms bc they’re so kind and warm! Men with this placement are kind of babied and seen in higher regards by women (especially older women!!) and the women are kind of protected and nurtured through men. This also goes both ways where women with this placement probably have amazing relationships with other women and the guys are that one friend who has a lowkey bromance with all of his friends lol,, It’s rlly hard to see these ppl in a malefic or fearful light.
🙎‍♀️Moon in Scorpio females have eyes that can pierce through your soul
💆Men with Aquarius venus and Capricorn Mars are top tier
👄Women with Scorpio venus are usually very pretty and sexy and known for their sex appeal if famous
💅Capricorn + gemini venus or rising women are really pretty and make great models
👯‍♀️Lilith in eighth house is considered a sex symbol placement (Brigitte Bardot, Elvis Presley, Angelina Jolie, Sophia Loren)
🤔I would say gemini and virgo risings are the hardest signs to identify because of their mercurial rulership and mutability unlike Pisces and Sagittarius where there are clear distinctions in facial features and physique because of the Jupiter/Neptune affect (long legs, round faces, prominent forehead and eyes) gemini and virgo can easily be dominated by other planets in contact with the ascendant or first house but both signs give someone a very youthful doll like glow
🧠People tend to shit on hard Saturn contacts but I find that with time they usually evolve beautifully and the aspect can become a huge benefic but only with hard work. Saturn is the only planet that rewards for perseverance and patience but it’s always worth it
🥰Leo and Virgo’s are actually really similar in what they expect from themselves and others. They both just want to be appreciated and considered important to those around them.
👩‍🦳No matter what signs are involved sun conjunct venus always has a very feminine and pleasent face usually with a prominent forehead,, they’re also rlly well captured in photographs!
🤳Mars square Neptune probably had a period where they may have read a lot of dirty fanficton or fantasized about weird concepts sexually
🌝Leo moons are WAY more of attention seekers then leo suns im sorry but it’s like their emotional well-being depends on the amount of attention they get whereas Leo suns don’t necessarily ask for it bc they just attract it naturally with their aura (this isn’t every leo moon ofc just the ones I’ve observed)
🤦‍♂️I think Virgo suns are more critical of those around them and how that affects who they are whereas Virgo moons tend to be more critical of themselves and how their actions affect their surroundings
🦵I’ve noticed Mars in the 1st house females are usually rlly toned and skinny with long legs
💃Mars in Virgo is known as being prudish or like a not sexy placement of Mars and I rlly beg to differ, I swear every person that the general public’s been obsessed with when it comes to being hot has this (Dylan O brien, Austin Butler, Idris Alba, Blake Lively, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Felton, Ariana grande, Johnny depp, Britney Spears?!! there’s so many more u guys need to get on this)
🥴Aries moons are all about talking the talk but I swear half the time are not walking the walk and when they do they’ve talked shit to about 6 ppl already and waited for like a week before telling u how they feel
🤡Pisces moons (myself being one) can be so fucking stupid when it comes to liking someone I swear. We tend to make excuses for them and cling to whatever image we’ve set up in our head on who they are. Once evolved though it’s way easier for us to see ppl for who they are off the bat without going through the emotional distress!
😒I can confirm that we attract whatever signs in our eighth house mines in Aries and I swear to god not a year has gone by where an Aries man hasn’t infiltrated my life
👗people who have venus in the second house are the definition of quality over quantity!! always dressed so well with the cutest jewelry. They’re style carries libra energy :)
🥺Aries sun men are some of the most sensitive ppl I’ve ever met!! I didn’t realize it at first but they’re rlly soft and uwu. I don’t know how to explain it but think of Eren from AOT or Natsu from Fairy Tail! They’re kind of like a cheeky kid you want to protect at all costs
🤝I think a lot of square aspects can work in your favor if there’s a specific trine or conjunct aspect that’s energy can balance it out once activated if that makes sense ? Like for example I have venus square neptune and I used to put myself in alot of unnecessary painful situation bc I had a problem with deluding myself when it came to liking someone. Yet I was always aware that the person was not right for me or the situation was toxic bc of my sun conjunct pluto. The Sun/Pluto aspect has kind of forced me to be more aware of the venus/neptune affect and I’ve grown a lot stronger through those painful plutonic experiences in love and I can see through other people’s intentions for what they are with ease. I think that sun/pluto helped cancel out my delusion by making me go through a lot of intense experiences to finally understand what I was doing and see things for what they were.
🧛🏽‍♀️Going off of that I don’t care what anyone else says I LOVE MY PLUTO ASPECTS and trust me their pretty shitty (sun conjunct pluto, moon square pluto, pluto square asc). I’ve been put into some rlly crazy situations for only being 18 but I can go into the world with a lot more awareness of who I am and the people around me. I like the intensity they bring and the forcefulness of change in my habits and life. Pluto has made me a rlly strong person in terms of persevering through life and it’s challenges. I thank pluto for that.
👩🏽‍🤝‍👨🏼👨🏾‍🤝‍👨🏻👩🏿‍🤝‍👩🏼I think one of my favorite placements I have that is also super favorable in others is Jupiter in the 11th house! This may seem kind of random but the amount of opportunities and cool experiences I’ve been given through my friends and social circles is something I’m soo thankful for🙏 Friendship and just being a friendly person in general is something I’ve always found luck and happiness in and it’s so rewarding to have so many ppl like and support u for who u are! Making friends with ppl online and making friends from friends is super easy with this placement as well💞

Band of Brothers Greetings, Part 2
Cute/charming things thay say when they walk into a room and see you/you walk into a room and they see you
Speirs:
Ok, first off- the moment he walks into a room, any room, he scans to see if you’re there, and if you are what you’re doing. 
He’s always done it, but since things between the two of you have gotten a bit steamy you find yourself catching him doing it ALL. THE. DAMN. TIME.
Like Ronald, you’re vv handsome and smoldery but YOU AREN’T SUBTLE IN THE SLIGHTEST.
Boi’s head is literally on a swivel until he finds you, straight up ignoring the person trying to talk to him until he sees that you’re there before impatiently returning his attention to whatever NIxon is saying (you know, BC OH YEAH not only are we at work but our work is war whoopsies could you repeat that, Nix i was lost in my handsome deathwish prince’s eyes?)
He’s always careful to read your body language to see how you're feeling, and based on that and the context of where y’all are he decides how (and if) to approach you.
His own feelings overwhelm him so it’s easier for him to focus on how you’re feeling
(Weirdly enough, you can read his feelings better than he can read his feelings sometimes.)
You weirdos end up staring at each other for way too long, entire conversations flowing between you two with little more than a lift of an eyebrow and a tilt of the head.
Bill and Babe had a game where they would see who between them could hold their breath through more of yours and Speirs’s weird hive mind-meld, the loser getting two freebies from the other’s rations.
Soon, more people joined in, and one day Speirs walked in while Peacock and LIpton were discussing the formation they wanted the camp set up in and half of the guys simultaneously took a deep breath through their noses to get a lungful of air 
When Lipton looked back out to the group of listening soldiers, he was disturbed to see several of his friends red or blue faced and looking between you and Speirs and each other like a tennis match
One look from Speirs put a stop to that game for a good month.
It only started up again because they saw Ron storm into the med bay and kiss you full on the mouth when you were alone after a soldier had punched you in that nose during Market Garden and left you horrifically blood-soaked and he’d thought you’d been shot.
Then the game turned into who could catch Ron showing human emotions towards you, with more points being given to the more softboy the action.
In an effort to keep THE BOYS™ focused during meetings, you and Ron eventually decided it’d be best to just stand by each other whenever you were in a room together, bc while you both are soft for each other you still get that you can’t be too distracted.
Well, you decided that.
If anything, Ron now has a new favorite game- seeing how long you could stay focused with his fingers running up and down your thigh while sitting together.
He may have slipped his hand beneath your waistband a few times and gotten you off during one of Nix’s intelligence briefings, whispering that you were being so good for him the entire time
and you may have retaliated once by getting him so worked up that he almost came in his pants like a teenager while surrounded by his sleeping men before giving him an overly sweet look before slipping away.
He makes you pay for it later, don’t worry :)
Martin:
MY ANGER BB
SO GLARE-Y, SO FROWN
That is...until he sees you
Then the furrow in his brow softens, and a knowing smile breaks across his face and he either comes to be by you or (a la Bull Randleman) he will raise him arm to show you that there is a you-sized space that needs filling (hurry plz it makes him feel better to touch you.)
He’s not going to show PDA when y’all’re busy- bc he’s good and what he does and you’re good at what you do but that doesn’t mean you can just not pay attention if important info is benign shared. 
If he thinks you aren’t paying enough attention he’ll let you know right away.
Or just glare at the thing distracting you until it eventually relents or someone hits his arm and tells him to stop glaring at the pretty flowers y’n’s looking at they’ll burst into flame and then she’ll be sad
BUt homeboy is not afraid to have you lean against him, or sit in his lap as you both get ready to do whatever it is you have to do.
If the lot of you are just hanging out- he’s much more relaxed, giving you a quick kiss on the cheek or temple before returning his attention to whatever he had been doing- arms wrapping around you as he catches you up on whatever you’d missed
BC HE WOULD WANT YOU TO BE INCLUDED IN EVERYTHING HE DOES (as long as it’s not too dangerous, obvi)
“But John, you’re going on the patrol—!” “Yeah, cause if you’re not going SOMEONE has to make sure these boys don’t get themselves killed. Think it’d be rude to leave them to fend for themselves...”
“But i could go-” “NO you can’t, shut up. Now listen to my plan and tell me what you think…”
He knows how good you are at your job, and it makes him want to be better at his job so he can make sure to be there for you.
I also feel like THE BOYS™ would sometimes be surprised to see Johnny “It may be a bitchface but I’m not resting” Martin being a lil soft with you, and would sometimes stare in shock at the sight of the two of you looking at each other with such open adoration and softness that they’d get a lil mesmerized.
Until either you or Johnny noticed
Then, get ready for the SNARKIEST “Can I FUCKING help you?” glare combo to ever exist ever.
This made me smile, idk
Luz:
GEOOOOOOOOOORGE Luz
My guy (much like Babe) is SO INTO YOU it can sometimes get the both of you in trouble (How either of you managed to keep from getting kicked out is a miracle). 
Luz is also a dramatic little goober, so you know he’ll do something over the top to try and make you laugh (bc, unlike him, you can actually keep it together for more than five seconds whenever you see him)
I’m talking shooting to his feet and standing on his chair and pointing in your direction the moment he sees you (especially if it’s for the first time that day/in a while), putting on a deep voice and an overly serious expression.
“Good God boys, I think we’re in the presence of a GOD. DAMN. KNOCKOUT.”
“WOOH, look at that! Somebody get Roe, cause I’m pretty sure my is about to JUMP outta my CHEST!”
(“You sure you ain’t just hopped up on caffeine and no sleep—?” “Shut UP Perconte, can’t you see I’m trying to flirt with your mother?”)
When you smile sleepily and tell him he can’t talk to your son that way he’ll perk up like a goddamn puppy dog, hop down from his chair and grab the mug of burnt coffee he’d poured for you when he’d heard you greeting Nixon that morning.
He presses the cup into your hand and his smile would soften into the one he saved for you (the one he’d given you after the two of you had snuck out past curfew at Toccoa to put a can of peaches by the door of Sobel’s bunkhouse and nearly gotten caught because you couldn’t stop giggling)
Luz is so obviously a goof but he also would be so endearingly obvious in his adoration of you.
No one would dare tease him about it. George brought so much light and (much needed) distraction from the darkness around them that THE BOYS™ would literally go to the ends of the earth to ensure that the two of you had time together. 
Don’t think about how, after being assigned a (gasp) room with a queen bed and a door(!) he would give you that smile again BUT this time there’d be a lil hint of Trouble in those bright eyes. Don’t think about him swallowing your sighs as the two of you keep each other warm between the sheets. 
But if you do think about it, know that he’s going to whisper the sweetest, kindest things to you the whole time, and yall are gonna fall asleep like teens in a CW show (~in each others armzZz~)
Guarnere:
KING of the dirty wink
Oh my god.
Put that thing away before you get silly and hurt someone
You’ve heard of undressing someone with your eyes (see Liebgott and Nixon (and Ron if he’s feeling naughty shhh)), and you’ve heard of talking someone right out of their pants.
You had never known it was possible to WINK someone into a PUDDLE of feels.
Bill had a whole language of winks and head tilts, but you could be DAMN sure that he knows EXACTLY what he can do to you.
(Because you’re in a position where you’re under a bit more scrutiny than the other men, he also knows that you can’t necessarily reciprocate your feelings as openly as he can.)
DOn’t worry, he’s more than happy to flirt publicly for the both of you
“There she is, fuckin goddess of war herself. Come to see how the toughest, most handsome sonofabitch in the 506 is doin’ this morning?”
“Yeah, Bill. Something like that.”
It’s really cute. 
When you guys are alone, you try to make up for the fact that you can’t openly admire him the same way that he admires you. But Bill won’t hear it- tells you that he’d still think the world of you, even if you called him “the most unhelpful, condescending little shit” you’d ever had the displeasure of meeting
(which you did, after two weeks of constantly being paired up for training in Georgia)
(He’d asked you to marry him the next day, and you’d laughed so loudly and unexpectedly that it startled the both of you. The only thing to shut you up was a bark from Lipton to focus on the combat training, and even then you hadn’t been able to stop your shoulders from shaking)
For all his insistence that you didn’t have to worry about him thinking you don’t share his feelings, he isn’t opposed whenever the mood to show him how much you care for him strikes you.
Take a lil initiative when the two of you are alone and he’s putty in your hands.
BC while he finds your restraint admirable, he’d be a fucking liar to say you dropping the stoicism to get a lil dirty makes him weak.
Everyone else is used to Bill being an open flirt, and they are pretty sure if you had a problem with it you’d make him stop, but that doesn’t stop them from being surprised when Bill had dipped you into an over-the-top romantic kiss when it was announced the war was over (BC LET’S PRETEND HE WAS ALL GOOD AND HEALED UP AND WAS WITH BUCK AT THE BASEBALL GAME OKAY?!).
Speirs had simply held his hand out, palm up while all the guys who’d bet against him paid up
He’d shipped it from day one, but you’ll never be able to prove it!
(YIKES A DOODLE HERE’S PART TWO! Thank you to everyone who responded and liked the first half (major shout out to @mrsalwayswrite for writing my new favorite Liebgott story!) Again, love yall, and may your personal letters never be considered contraband)

@alenoah and @icedancerhell did this and ik im definitely going to be cancelled for my taste but explanations below
prince of egypt: oh my gfucking god . bro the music. the ANIMATION. the story too like obviously its based on a religious tale but i mean the way its portrayed and interpreted and how it all comes across was so on point. and did i mention THE FUCKGIN MUSIC dude i would try to sing every song when i was a kid and i think attempting that literally improved my range growing up
shrek: ok when ur a kid literally all u want is to feel mature and cool. shrek was that in an hour and 30 minutes. all the adult humor. and even the shit that would fly over your head somehow still always registered as so funny. every line is burned into my brain bc i watched it so much it was so fuckgin funny and entertaining and the storyline was so depthful and important. shrek for president
sinbad: oh yeah he makes me wanna sin. Bad
rise of the guardians: oooohhg the plot was so cool and intriguing,,, the designs were so unique,,,, also i actually used to. cosplay jack frost when i was a teen osfkjskjfhksdjf i might have like One picture around here somewhere,
over the hedge: every character is perfectly designed and perfectly voiced and the humor was so good. me at like 8 years old watching hammy the squirrel drink coffee and frolic around in a slowed down world was the peak of comedy
madagascar: its just such a classic. another movie where every line is burned into my cerebellum bc i had it on dvd. id say out of this whole list this close to number one. idk where to even begin with how stupidly hilarious it was to me
httyd: lbr who didnt just do a full [lisa simpson face] when you got to the end and hiccup had lost part of a leg. the whole movie had this aura that it was like not tethered down somehow while still being great family friendly media. also im ace sexual and UHH big dragon
--
antz: unironically i think it deserves so much more than it gets. the anti war messages are great the designs are cool and it goes back into the shrek maturity territory where they get to say CUSS WORDS. p much my only qualm is that woody allen had to be there 😔😔😔  
shark tale: ok dont cancel me but i really love the plot actually. i mostly love the mafia shark boy that dresses as a dolphin but even the will smith fish crash-and-burn fame hubris thing while annoying at times was rly intriguing. and the designs are the kind of thing that as a kid i loved but as an adult i do. struggle , w ith, a bit, but overall funny and entertaining story
el dorado: the music slaps so fuckgin hard thats another example of me tryna sing cartoon music to an embarrassing degree. also the Colorse . the designs . and the humor osjfsjdf the only downside is just a personal vibe bc the best friend conflict storylines make me anxious sometimes lol
flushed away: oh my god dont at me. some of the characters are so fuckgin annoying and some of the humor is just so much but i rly did like the worldbuilding and storyline. stupid posh ass rat was rly cool actually. also yet another mafia/gang violence plot in childrens media why is that so funny when ur a kid god
spirit: GREAT MUSIC GREAT STORY! i think the way the story goes like, its Better to be told with regular horses and narration rather than talking horses,,,, but my dumb whimsical child ass just didnt latch onto that style as much as the talking animal movies
shrek 2: rly good tbh all the new characters introduced are interesting and entertaining to watch, but i mostly remember it for i need a hero and human shrek. didnt rly hit the same mark as the first :/
httyd 2: another great movie with another great twist but it almost felt like too much at once for my little brain to handle. overloaded me with gay emotion 
--
megamind: i love everything it stands for i just never saw it until like a year ago so its not that dear to my heart
kung fu panda: not my style of humor, i saw it once and can hardly remember it but i feel like the plot was wholesome and cute
the croods: so funny and good, ive seen it many times actually. but some of the humor just isnt my thing (its, well, crude, which also took me like 5 yrs to get that joke,)
bee movie: was pleasantly surprised the first time i watched it??? it was pretty good and it did kinda make fun of itself so idk why its so cringe to ppl. barry b benson entertained me unironically
chicken run: i saw it once when i was very young and it just didnt resonate with me also claymation most of my childhood terrified me
wallace and gromit: same as chicken run
--
entire never saw it tier: dotn hate me i just dont have a lot of time on my hands. i know i will be oppressed into watching peabody and sherman within the week and i accept the charges
--
monsters vs. aliens: someone got it for me on dvd and i hated it so much. its not even that bad its just a me thing like for some reason the part where the lady becomes a giant during her wedding or w/e was just like. the worst nightmare i could imagine i hated it and it made me scared to get married bc i thought that could happen to me. also none of the main cast is charming to me one of thems a bug and i have a bug phobia so i could never rly get thru it im sorry but i coudltn do it
madagascar 2: alex backstory was kinda good but the rest was forgettable for me
madagascar 3: visually kinda cool but. :/// felt really off compared to the previous movies, like an obvious cash grab. i mean who could forget the constant polka dot afro circus song advertisements
shrek 3: again mostly just remember it for the frog dad dying ,,,
shrek 4: i only saw it like 5 months ago for the first time. fiona being a warrior in an alternate timeline or w/e (if that was real and not a fever dream) was the only semi tolerable part for me
penguins of madagascar: the first few minutes with them as babies was cute the rest i physically could not keep my attention on. i dont remember anything else im sorry

crack tangled au that nobody asked for
i saw a pic of wang yibo with blond hair and decided that lan wangji needed to be rapunzel. idk what else to tell you guys. there’s literally no other reason this exists.
so lwj has lived in his tower for as long as he can remember. his father says he’s not allowed to leave it ever bc the outside is Dangerous. There’s all sorts of unsavory folk that want to take his magic blond hair and use it for Nefarious Purposes. 
lwj is not all that interested in going outside. he trusts and loves his father. his father only wants what’s best for him. the outside world sounds scary anyway. besides, his father gave him a friend a few years back in the form of a small, surprisingly intelligent lizard named huaisang so he’s not lonely. And his father brings him books and other things for his hobbies. he hopes his father visits again soon bc his guqin’s strings snapped and now he can’t play.
lwj would have lived his whole life quite content with his little huaisang in the tower. except one day someone crawled in through his window. a STRANGER found his tower!! a DANGEROUS STRANGER was in his tower for NEFARIOUS PURPOSES. Probably. His father warned him about these guys. so he does the sensible thing and whacks the STRANGER over the head with his stringless guqin.
he stares blankly at the unconscious stranger and then looks at huaisang. 
“what are we supposed to do with him now?” lwj murmurs to his little lizard. huaisang makes a little growly sound. lwj nods. “But I don’t think we have any rope.”
lwj decides to use his hair.
--
look, wwx is not having a great day. he got chased by royal guards after he and jc were caught trying to steal from rich ppl (hey, he and his brother and sister were orphans without a penny to their name!! and sure, jyl brings in some income playing nursemaid to a fairly well to-do family and he and his brother find odd jobs here and there, but thats hardly what you’d call stable income...so maybe sometimes they help themselves to extra gold from the lordly families like the Jins; nbd, right? it’s not like they’d even notice the loss and also they’re all Assholes so they deserve to get robbed) bc maybe, MAYBE jc had a point when he said they’d be overreaching trying to steal from the royal Lan family.
he eventually loses the guards which is good! but then he loses track of his brother, which was bad. and then he somehow acquired a Very Angry Horse that won’t stop following him which is weird. also mildly inconvenient but an angry horse is still a step up from angry guards. then there was this tower he climbs up, ignoring the angry horse’s whinnies.
and now? Now he’s slowly regaining consciousness and finding himself tied to a chair by golden rope...hey, wwx is up for some bondage every now and again but, like, he’s gotta go through all the kink negotiation and safeword confirmation and sort out all the consent stuff before he gives the go ahead. he’s pretty sure none of that has happened.  So this is the UN-fun type of bondage and...wait a minute...this isn’t rope...is this--?
“who are you and what are your Nefarious Plans for my hair?”
wwx looks up and sees the most beautiful face he’s ever seen in his entire life. if jc were here he’d be shouting up a storm, demanding they be freed this instant. jc is about 90% of wwx’s impulse control and 20% of his common sense (the other 80% of his common sense resides with jyl at all times for safekeeping). So instead of demanding to be released, wwx puts on his most charming smile and leans forward towards the prettiest man in the world who’s hovering not nearly close enough in his space.
“well, hello. you can call me your future husband and the only plans i have for your hair involve a bed, you, and--”
He really should have expected the next hit to the head.
--
as far as meet-cutes go...it could’ve gone worse.
--
“i can’t believe you’ve been stuck in that tower all your life. don’t you get bored??”
“No.”
“don’t you ever want to stretch your legs and enjoy the sunshine?? go for a swim maybe?”
“No.”
“well why are you making me take you to through this awful forest and go to the palace??”
“Huaisang.”
“umm...bless you?”
The pretty man known as lwj sighs. “No. Huaisang is my lizard. It’s not fair for him to stay cooped up with me all the time.”
The lizard perched on lwj’s shoulder wiggles its disconcerting little lizard hand at him and, like, smiles at him. can lizards smile? they shouldn’t. it looks creepy. lwj cups a hand over the little lizards head and whispers to wwx.
“he thinks he’s a dragon. i want him to see what a real dragon looks like so he can figure out for himself that he isn’t one.”
“oh, so that’s why you wanna go to the palace. yeah, i wish someone had told me before that they had a dragon guarding the royal coffers.”
lwj narrows his eyes suspiciously at him. “why.”
“uh, no reason,” wwx winces and discreetly tugs the burnt edges of his robes out of view.
an awkward silence lingers for a painfully long time. the Angry Horse makes a sound. wwx suspects that he’s laughing at him. wwx sighs. at least he gets to enjoy the view, he thinks as lwj marches confidently ahead and subsequently gets them all lost.
--
lwj was just trying to be nice. that’s all. he wanted his little lizard friend to be happy. that’s it. his life was just fine before that!
but in the course of 48 hours, he finds out huaisang really IS a dragon, and is actually the little brother of nie mingjue, the dragon that guards the royal coffers. he falls in love with a roguish, penniless thief whose smile outshines the sun and carries a heart as golden as lwj’s hair. Said thief is now being held hostage by the man he calls his father but is in reality Meng Yao, the lan’s royal adviser who kidnapped him as an infant in order to use his magical hair for Nefarious Purposes. Oh, and apparently lwj is the long lost lan prince.
...he knew he should’ve stayed in the tower.
--
lwj feels his lips quirk up slightly as wwx runs his fingers through his now very black, very shortly cropped hair. wwx beams at him.
“didn’t i say i was gonna be your husband?”
“Hm,” lwj gives a small nod. “but having a horse at the wedding is a surprise.”
“yeah well, apparently we’re a package deal bc he won’t quit following me.”
wen qing, the witch officiating their wedding, scoffs. “seriously?? you haven’t figured it out yet??”
she taps the horse angrily chewing at wwx’s robes and suddenly there’s a man in purple robes shouting at the top of his lungs.
“A WEEK. I’VE BEEN CURSED INTO A HORSE FOR A WEEK, WEI WUXIAN, YOU IDIOT. HOW GODDAMN STUPID ARE YOU THAT YOU DIDN’T REALIZE---”
“Oh, jiang cheng! you’re just in time for the wedding!!”
The shouting lost all coherency at that point. but that’s okay. lwj is very happy he finally left his tower anyway.

Prince Charming -  Chapter 2
chapter one - chapter two - chapter three - chapter four - chapter five - chapter six Indications of Janus lying are in italics but fair warning I do use italics on some words Janus says that aren’t lies bc yk they’re italics and they’re used for emphasis and Janus says some sTufF in this so idk just keep an eye out lol
Word count - 3,204 Pairing - Intrulogical, Prinxiety (I didn’t plan it, it just kinda happened and I rolled with it), pre Moceit, platonic Logicality Warnings - some characters are a lil insensitive in spots but I wouldn’t call them unsympathetic, creativitwins and Loceit angst ig (not shippy at all), swearing, food mention, sword fighting, self-deprecation from most sides bc they’re all wrecks, a character gets a lil hurt, pining, and then there’s Remus-typical behavior (body horror mentions, sexual innuendo/mentions of sexual stuff, and other stuff heh), if there’s anything else that should be tagged or put in the warnings, tell me!
A yellow light with a size similar (if not a little bigger) to that of a softball appeared in front of Virgil’s face for half a second before disappearing. When it faded, the sides could see Virgil’s mouth had closed and his gaze was directed to the floor. The room was enveloped in an agonizing silence.
“I told you we’d know, Patton,” Roman said quietly, with no real bite in his words.
---
“No matter that!” Janus exclaimed, interrupting the uncomfortable silence. “You won’t be getting your crown jewels.”
“Looks like another lie, snake face!” Roman exclaimed, jumping back into the adversarial mood.
“It seems the red prince is running out of nicknames!” Remus teased. “Waste them all on Virgil, back when you were so intently hating him?”
Roman flinched; Remus had clearly hit a sore spot. “Take out your frustrations on my sword, you contemptuous, chaotic cephalopod!”
Remus laughed. “I like that! Lovely alliteration, dear brother. Though, it is something you’ve always seemed to excel at. Take with Virgil again--”
Roman swung his sword at Remus, red in the face and white at the knuckles. Remus parried it easily, clearly unsurprised by his brother’s attack. Neither sword moved for a moment, and Remus laughed again.
“So easily provoked, Roman? I expected better from a prince,” Remus said with a smirk. “Does talk about your...dare I say...regrets or unflattering moments make you want to maim a fellow side?”
Roman glared at him and shook his head, pushing his sword against his brother’s before striking at the green-clad side’s left shoulder. His sword was parried again.
“Not really.” The prince blocked a blow to the head, the swords in place there for a moment. “Just you.”
He pushed the Duke’s sword from his head and made a swipe at the legs. Remus jumped back but took a jab at Roman’s torso.
“Or,” Remus continued as if Roman hadn’t replied, “are you still in denial of the way you treated the purp man? Are you refusing to address it for fear of him realizing your mistakes...or of him admitting he was never fond of you in the first place and likely never will be?”
“STOP!” Roman shouted while disarming his brother, the rapier clattering to the floor. Roman held the tip of the sword in front of Remus’ nose.
“What is it, Roman?” Remus asked, alarmingly unfazed by the sharp metal so close to his face. “You cast me as the villain. This is me playing the part!”
Any small amount of movement Roman had been showcasing at that moment ceased, and Remus chuckled, using his brother’s stillness to back away from the sword. After taking a few steps back, the Duke put his hands up in a surrender-like position.
“Aren’t we antagonists supposed to be pushing your buttons, fucking with your mind to try to get you to lose? Is that not a classic villain tactic?”
Remus extended his leg to where his sword lay on the floor, still holding his gaze with a stiff Roman, and kicked the sword into the air where he caught it and immediately hit Roman’s sword to the side, disarming him.
“Or I could press different buttons if your demonization of Virgil is too fresh and painful a wound. I certainly have a lot to work with!”
Roman growled out a sound of anger, picking up his sword. “Oh, Remus, you forget.” He struck a hard blow to the dark side’s rapier. “I’m your brother too.”
Their fighting returned to a proper speed, Roman and Remus seeming equal.
“You crave attention and validation, which is probably the only reason you agreed to participate in today’s adventure,” Roman started, a grunt accompanying a few of his words. “You find it difficult, nearly impossible, to receive the latter, so you settle for being the most chaotic and disturbing version of yourself you can be in the hopes of a couple of spare glances in your direction.”
Remus’ confident smirk faltered.
“You haven’t argued against Logan sifting through your contributions in the hope that he will give you a spare compliment or show any sort of appreciation,” Roman added. “He’s logic, so he’s honest with no added emotions. You appreciate this, as there is no disgust-fueled fire that he uses to insult your creations.”
Roman felt Remus’ strikes get weaker.
“You’ve never known a true compliment or real validation, so anytime Logan doesn’t react negatively to your contributions makes you happy. Who can imagine what would happen if he complimented your work?”
Roman started to gain a clear upper hand, walking forward as Remus crept back.
“Maybe you’d...I don’t know...regret lodging that throwing star in his forehead,” Roman said with an air of nonchalance, a small smirk growing as he spotted Remus’ eyes widening and his grip on his sword loosening. “Regret shutting him up like everyone else does when he’s the only one who actually listens.”
Remus’ cuts got more reckless, less on target, and he was barely following the red prince’s sword.
“We’re creativity, insecurity is in our job description. You know Thomas will likely never do what you suggest him to,” Roman tacked on. “So you do everything to get your ideas noticed. Commented on. Even if it’s negative. But when Logan says something logical—not unkind—what do I know, maybe he’s even said something nice...you have a taste of validity. You experience appreciation."
Remus’ face hardened, and thrust his sword at Roman’s neck, only for the prince to parry it expertly.
“My only regret, dear brother,” Roman continued, walking forward so Remus’ back hit the cold, stone wall behind him, “is that after the original happiness that came from the logical side’s kind words subsides, you realize that you’re grasping at the straws of what everyone else has. And that, Remus, is a shame.”
The rapier fell to the floor.
Roman smiled at his win, sheathing his longsword. “You’re right, Remus! Pouring salt into the enemy’s wounds is a magnificent tactic! Thanks for the advice. Now, I’m taking this…” Roman picked up the rapier, “...and I’m taking it with me.”
---
Janus charged at Logan.
"Why are you participating in Roman's fantastical escapade so loyally, Janus?" Logan queried, blocking Janus’ attack, thankful he’d chosen a sword who’s wavy blade gave him the advantage of causing his opponent discomfort when their sword would collide with his. "You strike me as one of the last of us who would agree to such an unrealistic and far-fetched activity.”
Janus shrugged, the discomfort caused by his sword’s collision with Logan’s wavy-bladed sword showing visibly. “Everyone else did. And I definitely wanted to be stuck as the only side dealing with Thomas for a whole day.”
Logan raised an eyebrow. “I don’t think any of us want you to be the only one dealing with Thomas for an entire day.”
“Fair enough.”
Janus’ sword clashed into Logan’s, and it took the deceitful side everything not to loosen his grip on his sword because of the uncomfortable vibrations the intense collision with the flamberge caused. Logan held his sword horizontally over his head, never letting his grip falter, as Janus stared the logical side deep in the eye. The yellow-clad side took forceful steps forward, causing Logan to take several steps back.
Janus, upon noticing that if Logan were to go back further, he would trip and fall into broken glass, relented his aggressive pushing. He took a step back as he knew Logan would use his moment of kindness to his advantage, and thrust his sword at the side’s chest, turning it into a horizontal cut when Logan dodged it by moving to his right.
“That was a purely illogical mistake you just made, Janus,” Logan criticized. “One that could have been easily avoided.”
“You shouldn’t be thanking me, Logan,” Janus said with an annoyed growl. “It’s not like I saved you from tripping and falling into broken glass or anything.”
Logan’s movements froze for half a second before he quickly composed himself. “Thank you, I suppose,” he said after a pause, half-heartedly aiming a strike at the deceitful side’s head.
Eventually, Janus and Logan’s swordfight had escalated to become much harsher. Janus was using the range his sword gave him well, and Logan’s wavy-bladed sword was only becoming more useful as his strikes became harder and more uncomfortable for the serpentine side to bear.
On the other side of the room, Patton tripped and cut his ankle on a piece of glass; the surprised but pained yelp that accompanied it caused Janus’ head to turn. Logan ignored the fatherly side’s exclamation and took Janus’ reflexive breach of focus as an opportunity to gain a more significant advantage. Janus was barely able to block the strike the logical side made at his left shoulder but ended up having to take a multitude of steps back and he ended up at a lower level.
Logan withheld a triumphant smirk, eyeing a nearby wall in his peripheral vision. Cornering Janus would make his victory almost guaranteed.
“Getting tired, Logan?” Janus said through gritted teeth.
“I thought you would be the fatigued one,” Logan replied in return.
Janus growled at him and reluctantly removed all of his focus from Patton and returned it to him and Logan’s sword fight.
“Does your function of self-care make it difficult to let Patton get hurt, much like it did earlier when you spared me an undesirable encounter with broken glass?” Logan inquired, and Janus couldn’t tell whether the logical side was teasing or genuinely curious. Janus supposed it was probably the latter as Logan had very little capacity for that type of teasing but still acted on the hypothesis that Logan’s motivations lied with the former.
Janus slammed his sword at Logan’s violently, making him raise an eyebrow. The action prompted Logan to return the amounts of force Janus was using and more. With every one of Janus’ harder swings, Logan’s were more intense. The indigo side could see the discomfort parrying his sword brought Janus was weighing on him.
Before long, Logan was hardly having any trouble walking forwards and pushing the yellow-clad side back. Janus’ arms and shoulders were starting to shake. A few seconds later, Janus felt his back make contact with the wall. Not roughly, not in any way that would hurt, but it still demonstrated Logan’s present superiority.
Janus gave him a menacing glare showing his current disdain for the logical side that would probably dissolve after this whole sword fighting fiasco was over.
“It seems I have you cornered, Janus,” Logan observed. “If you surrender now, you could make this much easier and less troublesome for both of us.”
“Where’s the fun in that?” Janus retorted, flailing his sword at Logan in an embarrassing attempt at a strike to his neck.
“We could also,” Logan continued, easily blocking the strike, “sit back and watch the others’ shenanigans after we have agreed on the terms of your surrender.”
Janus gave Logan a smirk. “Oh Logan, no matter how fun that sounds, I’m not ready to give up yet.”
He turned his head to look at where Virgil and Patton were on the other side of the room, Logan’s gaze following. Patton had wrapped his ankle up in cloth and was looking significantly better, and Virgil was standing stock still, gaze directed at the ground. Patton was pacing in worry, most likely scared his friends would end up severely hurting each other. Virgil was unnaturally unbothered by this and was showing absolutely no emotion. His body refused to even give any hint of movement. Logan couldn’t be sure the anxious side was breathing. The behavior Virgil was displaying was concerning and not like him at all.
“Virgil,” Janus started and said side’s head raised to look Janus in the eye, “do me a favor and engage Patton in a sword fight. And don’t even think of going easy on him.”
A yellow light similar to the one seen the first time Janus ordered Virgil to do something appeared in front of Janus’ lips and flew over to Virgil, disappearing as it made contact with his head. Patton’s attention had been gained at the utterance of his name, and his expression held only what was sheer terror. Fighting his dark strange son was the last thing he wanted to do. But as it would seem, he was helpless to prevent such an event from occurring.
Logan watched with concealed horror as Virgil’s body turned robotically to face Patton, whose eyes were wide and cheeks flushed in fear and apprehension. Virgil drew his sword, a black bladed katana with a purple hilt, and raised it in front of him while getting into a fighting stance. His gaze locked on the moral side, no emotion or familiarity showing in his heterochromatic eyes.
“I’m sure you’re feeling absolutely at ease and unworried right now, Logan,” Janus remarked, slight mockery residing in his tone. He pushed himself off and away from the wall Logan had cornered him against. “Would a blow to the head ease your fulfilling tranquility?”
Logan turned away from Patton and Virgil, directing a hard glare at the lying side. He parried the strike Janus made at his head, and then directed another one at his adversary’s neck. The strikes Logan was making no longer held any mercy or restraint that could’ve been there at the beginning. “Why would you do that? You know how hard it must be on Patton to engage in a violent and aggressive activity with anyone, much less his best friend and the side he sees most as a son.”
Janus didn’t reply, focusing only on Logan’s sword. Logan noticed that Janus’ face was seeming to withhold emotion, the snake side’s jaw set and eyes contorted into a glare that appeared to be forced.
“Not to mention, Patton is wounded, Janus,” Logan reminded him, deflecting a thrust at his solar plexus. “You were so concerned a few minutes ago, but now you’re forcing him to not only walk on the foot but also to fight on the foot? The wound may not be anything severe, but as a function of self-preservation, don’t you care about him?”
Logan could hear a growl sound from Janus’ throat. “I couldn’t let you think that now could I?”
Logan’s eyebrows furrowed, the intensity in his strikes faltering. “You felt like you needed to prove something to me, didn’t you? That you don’t care about us.”
Janus made no indication that Logan was correct, but started to strike harder.
“You don’t need to prove anything to me, Janus. I know what you can do, I know how cruel you can act and how caring you can be.” Logan paused, not wanting to overstep or make assumptions. “And, I don’t need to say anything if you don’t want me to.”
“Patton should’ve been sword fighting like the rest of us anyway,” Janus stated, practically ignoring Logan’s previous statement. “Maybe he wouldn’t have gotten himself hurt.”
Logan’s eyes narrowed at that. “Patton being a kind and gentle person is in no way a problem.” His words were accompanied by harsher cuts to Janus’ head and torso. Logan was starting to back him up again.
“It can be quite annoying, though, can’t it?” Janus snarled rhetorically.
Logan’s ferocity had returned to what it was directly after Janus ordered Virgil to fight Patton, not suspecting Janus’ previous statement of relaying any falsehoods.
As the fighting continued, Logan took note of how Janus’ incredibly long sword would likely not bode well in a shorter range. Deciding to use this to his advantage, Logan got in closer to Janus without pushing the side back. He struck a hard blow to the Zweihander that forced the sword to Logan’s right. Logan took this opportunity to give a small but effective kick to the deceitful side’s right knee, causing him to fall to his knees. He then easily disarmed Janus, and let the Zweihander clatter to the floor. Logan sheathed his flamberge and then picked up the black and yellow blade.
“It seems your...tactic of evoking an emotional response from me by causing distress on my fellow sides did not prove fruitful in your attempt for victory.”
“Maybe not, but it made the fight last longer,” Janus replied. “Besides, it was not fun at all. I mean, did you see the look on Patton’s face?”
Logan’s grip on Janus’ sword tightened. “I am currently finding it...difficult to restrain myself from knocking you out with your own weapon.”
Janus smirked. “Such emotion from the logical side, hmm? I thought you were the cold one with no emotions. I guess it figures that you’d have a capacity for anger and other emotions if you already experience a great deal of love.”
Any movement Logan was currently engaged in paused. “...What? What do you mean?”
“Come on, Logan,” Janus said smoothly, starting to stand on his feet, Logan instinctively pointing the sword at his throat. “You admitted it in the Q&A! Look at you, defending Patton like that, you...care about him, you love him. And even still, you care about me, the kick you gave to my knee was just enough to take me down and nothing more, and you totally wanted to fight me in the first place. You despise Roman, criticizing him when he advocates engaging in violent activity, obviously trying to protect him. Oh, and don’t get me started on Remus. You volunteered to sift through his contributions.”
“And debunk them, as well as expose them for being unrealistic and dangerous.”
“Yes, but say those things to Thomas. I haven’t had Remus complain about you to me once, totally implying that you’ve said downright terrible things about his creativity to him. While I’m sure much of this comes from your function as logic and what is a tendency to show any and all emotion on a topic that doesn’t require or call for it, there’s surely something else behind it. How could you not attach yourself to the one person who listens to you? Or will you not admit this as you’re scared he only listens to you because you listen to him? As a trade, a deal, an arrangement of begrudging respect and nothing more. You’ll listen to his ideas and he’ll listen to your opinions and criticisms, but you’re scared he only does it out of courtesy. But, Logan. Dear, sweet Logan. He listens to you. He’s the only one who does. And, what of motivations? Do they matter to that pesky little thing that is love?”
Logan gulps, his face reddening. He pushed the tip of the Zweihander closer to Janus’ throat. Any movement further would make the sword touch the skin of his neck, and perhaps break it. There was a long silence as Janus moved his hands up and above his head in a surrender-like position. Logan’s eyes stayed on him unwaveringly, but his mind was somewhere else.
It was almost as if they were in a staring contest, one neither of the two was focused on. Logan was raking over Janus’ words, hoping that the deceitful side would be lying the one time he wanted him to be, and Janus was feeling victorious despite his defeat.
Logan would have to leave the side eventually, either to help his fellow knights in their sword fights or later when they all would leave Reptania. But Janus was wrong, he was lying, he was messing with his mind. He had to be.
“You won, Logan. Yes, I’ll admit it. But we both know that I was right.”
