#beware: no plot just weird musings and ramblings

[cawcawpeasants]

Hi it's me I'm new but can you do one we're asta joins the Dark triad and how whould they treat him I know it's stupid but I couldn't think of any thing else

Hey there love. Thank you for all your kind messages, they really made me happym so I wanted to return your kindness by getting my butt out of this slump!! And sorry for the wait, I was on an excavation, but now I have Internet again and I had a long time to think about this.

So, this could be a relly great Idea for a kickass AU work. Like, what if Asta met the dark triad early on in the story, lets say even before the magic knights entrance exam. Canonically he met Fanzel around that time, too, so we’re even going to place this happening before all that. 

It starts with the big What If the Spade people had their Informationnetwork better under control and had way better spies than they appear to have right now (cause yall, how coukd they have missed Asta. He was in the Newspaper for gods sake. How bad a spy do you have to be to miss that? And for a warmongering nation, they really are way too uninformed about strenghts and their enemies. Little pet peeve of mine.) 

BUT! Now, they hear of this kid who got a great and strong grimoire in a place where that doesnt happen. First they hear all about Yuno and are like, yeah, okay, new blimp on the radar, we gotta calculate this new potentially powerful enemy in, and then they get the news of Asta and how he came to have a weird and shady 5 leaf clover grimoire. And now at least Dantes interest is piqued. 

So, they decide to check it out, cause who might that be? Which Demon has found a new host? And how did it happen without them hearing about a big catastrophic event in Clover, which is usually Zagreds, the word demons, preferred method of getting what he wants, 

Things are so interesting that the Zogratis siblings go on a road trip together, to find out more and maybe cause some menace on the way, in case they get bored. Its gonna be prime family bonding time!

They meet Asta under the skull, where he always trains, and they see him basically just lugging this big sword around but...not using either magic or the devils power. Something is weird here. Vanica also comments that the kid is kinda hunky with some nice features, but kinda veery very tiny, and she loses a bit of interest already. Zenon appreciates a dude who knows his workout, but the no magic factor makes him think of Asta as kinda weak, way too weak to be a Devil host, and he tells  Dante that it might be a fluke, that their information was wrong, and that they should just go and find the responsible spy and torture him, for having them come out all this way just to see a kid play at being a knight and yell a lot. 

Dante still has an uneasy feeling, that it might be a little more than just that, but he also has to agree that Asta has not shown any sign of devil powers, so he cant even ask lucifero which Demon slipped past their Network and got stranded in Clover, and this part of clover of all places too. Really, no self respecting lord of hell would do this to themselves, not even Zagred who maybe got a little desperate over the millenia.

Just as they are about to turn and leave, a voice comes up to them, asking them what they are doing. and yes, it comes up to them, cause they are in their usual and very very stealthy and absolutely not suspicious manner flying half a kilometre over the ground, maybe a little to the left, so they are guarded by the shades of the columns, and bickering with each other about first going to torture the spies, or getting something to eat before that. Just ye normal roadtrip talks.

Anyways, Asta heard them or sensed them (my boys instincts are crazy, like damn), and his gut feeling tells him something is off wht the weirdly fancy dressed floating strangers with seemingly cold eyes and spade-symbols and regalia all on them. He might not be the smartest noodle in the pot, but even he knows when he sees people in a place they dont belong.

Yeah, so, from here on out things can go a great many ways, Zenon would probably suggest they get rid of him and also that would make at least for a little amusement for now. Vanica would probably agree, cause at least they would be doing ANYTHing but staying there and doing nothing but watch a little boy. Or they could get some snacks, shes kinda hungry, for the 300th time today. 

Dante tho, he still wants his questions answered. So why not ask? He floats down towards Asta, and is all like, Hello there young man, that is a fine sword youre having there, pray tell where did you get that?

And Asta is like, wow, someone likes my sword? And this little angel boy just happily wants to help people, especially those 3 nobles who seem like they got hella damn lost (and not like they are a nightmare for many captains and Julius, I mean, can you imagine all the work thats gonna have to happen, when they find out that the dark triad can just enter Clover all willy nilly?? Oh, Marx is gonna haunt them with papers for months! And Augustus voice is gonna shriek through all the castle in that unbeliievable high octave about how useless they all are, and yeah, things just aint gonna be great, but Asta doesnt know, this blessed summer child is not the brightest light at times)

Cause sister lily and father Orsi raised him right he shows Dante all about his sword and his grimoire, and Dante sees it and probably goes like !!!. And then he knows that Asta really is a demons host, but he doesnt seem to have realized it himself. How strange. He tries to ask Asta a few questions, but the kiddo just really doesnt know a thing and after a while of talking around the topic, he tries the more direct route

“Say Boy, have you ever heard a Voice inside your head? Telling you things about your magic and what to do?”

“Yeah, Yuno says thats called thinking and that people should do that more often.”

“...right. But was there one besides the regular Voice you hear when you think?”

“No? Was there supposed to be one before I got the grimoire?”

“...Nevermind”

Asta also couldnt remember ever seeing a weird figure, well not specifically because “not before you guys showed up. I think the weirdest figure is probably Yuno, way too damn handsome that jerk!”

Or sensing another Magic mingle with his, “What do you mean this isnt my magic?”

Finally, Dante asks Asta if he ever heard about the Devil, and “Yeah of course, I was raised in a church, and Sister Lily tells us all the best good night stories! Im gonna mary one day and then we tell each other all those every night!!” And then Asta got stuck thinking about his sister Lily,and Dante had to realize that its no use. 

He could now either kidnap Asta and train him under the dark triad, or he could leave him be and keep his tabs on the strange kid with big dreams. Yeah, well, kidnapping Asta is, if the conversation with him was any clue, not gonna be an easy and quiet thing, and its gonna be a political mess, a headache to boot too. Also Zenon and Vanica are probably going to try kill Asta if he gets too much for them anyways, so i would be useless. He sighed, and shook his head, and shot Asta a fake smile

“Thank you for answering all my questions, boy, have a nice training session for whatever it is youre trying o achieve here.”

“Oh, Im training to become a Magic knight in a few months!”

“Ah”

“Im gonna become the Wizard king! (✧ ∇ ✧)”

“...Well, good luck with that, Im going home now”

“Thank you, also your friends left like 20 minutes ago”

Cue unhappy Dante. But at least they learned something...I think? And they went and cleaned up that Information pipe line real quick and then got something to eat.

Yeah so, I tried. Im still not back to peak form, but this was fun! Poor Dante was probably hella frustrated afterwards, but Asta really jsut doesnt know xD and later on, Asta is constantly wih people who are pretty sure to recognize the Spade royalty. I mean, they dont make it particulary hard. And Asta has his goal set, and he takes the most direct route to get there.

im pretty sure, as things are now, Zenon and Vanica are going to be way more interested too, but I really need to know a lot more about Vanica. 

Anyways, hope you enjoyed, and thank you again for sending me those words of encouragement! Have a lovely day!! <3

11 sesshomaru and kagome

11. If they aren’t a canon pairing, how would you get them together?

ooft that’s a thought. Well obviously there are thousands of canon divergent fics for Sesskag but I’ll give a few basic points of what I would do. Beware, this is rambly:

Step 1 is dealing with the whole Inuyasha elephant in the room. I don’t hate the guy and dislike it when he’s made to be the villain. The way I see it he’s just young and makes mistakes - but I do think Kagome needed to be chosen, especially after the identity crisis she suffered because of the love triangle. So after a brief period of dating, I’d have them break up, realising they’re better off as best friends and you know…talking about all the crap they went through. Kagome would have had 3 years apart from him at this point and matured so.

Step 2 is intrigue . Kagome spends time at the village and Sesshoumaru visits every so often to see Rin. Kagome decides to bridge the gap and starts offering him tea, including him in conversation. He’s very reserved and taciturn but Kagome is quite determined to befriend him because hey, he helped out with Naraku and she’s grown closer to Rin. Sesshoumaru inwardly respects Kagome’s abilities as a miko if nothing else and slowly warms a little more to her. He notices her train and muses that she still holds power. He starts to ask questions about the future and the novelty of her is something he expects to go away.

Step 3 - Denial - it doesn’t. If anything their continued interaction forces him to see her kindness toward Rin and those she cares for. It’s at this point that ‘the plot’ of most fanfics will rear its head and a new threat will be unleashed on the land or the two have to travel together to deal with something. However, if they were just left alone their chats could turn into one-sided pining. From Sesshoumaru’s side, much to his disgust. He grows frustrated with himself and goes through the motions of denial, even trying to sever his interest in the miko and not visit as often.

Step 4 - acceptance- this is when the village would be attacked. Sesshoumaru returns, not certain what he expects to find when he sees the extent of the damage and the youkai in question but Kagome does something. Maybe it’s saving Rin or maybe it’s shooting an ogre through an eye, but somehow this display of strength is enough for him to accept his regard for her. 

Step 5 - Kagome has no idea. She’s been buddy buddy with him all this time and yeah, he’s hot but he’s Inuyasha’s older brother. When she sees him again after his absence she tells him she missed him being around. She starts to wonder why he’s being so….weird. He stares more, or maybe it’s just that he seems more intent than before. She starts to worry about him. Maybe he’s overworked? She does something nice for him and Sesshoumaru responds with a gesture. Most likely a demonic courting gesture that she doesn’t understand. It completely throws her.

Step 6 - Kagome gets frustrated. She tries to figure out what’s going on and seeks advice from her friends or her mom. No answers. 

Step 7 - It clicks. Somehow it does. Maybe she notices him stare at her for a little too long one time. She just figures it out. And then she freaks out.

Step 8 - repeat step 3 but this time for Kagome. 

Step 9 - Kagome decides for the hell of it to try thinking about the Demon lord that way. Not just as a sexy reserved killing machine. Nope, a lover. The thought is very concerning. She tries it, has a daydream. And suddenly she kind of…maybe, likes the thought. Crap. The real Sesshoumaru breaks her out of her daydream and then it’s her turn to make him wonder why she’s being weird. 

Step 10 - mutual pining for who knows how long. At this point Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Rin, hell even Kirara knows. The only ones who don’t are the two stubborn idiots. Rin implores Sesshoumaru to try giving Kagome the courting gesture again and he does so. Kagome is still confused but she tries talking to him about it, gets desperate when he doesn’t respond. Kagome reveals a little more than she intended to, wearing her heart on her sleeve for a moment- and Sesshoumaru swoops in. She shouldn’t have given him an inch if she didn’t want him to take a mile. He claims her mouth and mutters something about foolish mikos.
