FUCKIN BATHOUSE AU LOREDUMP

Okay so Sebastian was still born a demon in a family of demons. In this AU Hell is very vast and has a lot of different sections, some sections being rather touristy or heavily enjoyed by locals. Sebastian's family has a bathhouse that's been passed down for generations that gets a variety of guests from Hell and beyond. They also serve homegrown tea and food.

Sebastian has two sisters in this au one older and one younger. The younger one is named Sakura because she liked the flower and wanted an S name for her human name just like Sebastian. She really looks up to Sebastian as her cool big brother and wants to be just like him. Sebastian's older sister is named Misa I might change this I just named her after misa from deathnote but ermmmm.

Misa is the one thats set to inherit the bathouse next so from the get go she's had a lot of weight placed on her shoulders. She's always been pressured throughout her life to live up to the standards cultivated over thousands of years from both her family and the pressure to carry on traditions. In her earlier years this caused her to rebel and start getting up to normal petty crime type teenage shit you would expect. She got involved with a lot of the wrong crowds to cope and got even more weight pushed on her from her family because of it. Eventually she just learned to suck it up to carry on the family traditions because they're very important to her but she can't help but resent Sebastian for being able to be as free as he is. Sebastian acts like a bit of a dumbass in this au so she's naturally like what the fuck why wasn't I ever tossed a bone nobody ever cut me any slack yet my younger brother can run amock around humans without so much as a slap on the wrist. She tries her best to be a good sister to Sakura and despite her resentment of Sebastian she does love him even if they fight.

Their father really isn't in the picture in this Au. He died a while ago and nobody really discusses it unless its those 2am sorts of conversations where you're looking at the stars. They do have a mother though.

Their mother has always been the harsh type because she wants them to live up to a certain standard. She does love them and has always done her best to try and build them up to be strong but at the same time the pressure she puts on her children especially after the death of their father causes a lot of tension in the household. Misa has all of the pressure of being the older sibling, Sebastian needs to learn how to mature and stop being a fucking idiot around humans for once and step up to join the "real world" to try and fill the hole his father left, Sakura has to deal with her siblings fighting constantly and never reslly gets paid attention to with all the drama that goes on.

In retaliation Sakura will pull a bunch of pranks and in general be loud and reckless in hopes of getting attention but also partially to mimic Sebastian. Like Sebastian is not a total himbo dumbass in this au he moreso thinks with his heart instead of his brain which is especially weird in their culture but that combined with the slight isolation causes Sakura to be a lot more sensitive than most demons which in turn makes it hard to make friends.

Sakuras favorite job is running the baths beforehand because she likes the way it smells and how warm it gets. Misa likes to cook if her mother isn't already and Sebastian likes to cultivate and prepare the tea. Sebastian gets like real big into it too and starts cross breeding strains of tea and throwing different things into the soil to get the chemistry just right. The effort pays off too. I think as Sebastian "matures" kind of and starts controlling himself a bit more he actually starts to act a bit like Tanaka.

Speaking of Tanaka in this Au all of the servants are dead. It's the modern era. The servants reside in the afterlife but neither Ciel nor Sebastian are able to track them down. Sebastian nearly died performing a ritual that was way above his skill level transforming Ciel into a partial demon. Ciel's lifespan will be lengthened significantly but Ciel cannot shift and morph his form like a full demon could which leads to him being a bit ostracized.

When Sebastian's mother found out he did this she was pissed. Her son literally almost died because he fell in love with his food. They had a big fight but it eventually settled down to where Sebastian could introduce Ciel to his family.

Sakura LOVES Ciel. She's so curious about the human world, she heard all the stories from her family's travels and wants to go up there so bad it's like the forbidden fruit. Misa is initially angry at Ciel because she's angry at Sebastian but her and Ciel are actually so similar personality wise and relate to each other's childhood pressure they become homies.

Sebastian's mother is WEARY of Ciel. To her Ciel is a human gone wrong that will just ruin things for everyone. She does not like Ciel. Ciel has to WORK for her trust. He starts learning their language, helps out around the house, spends more time with the family, ect. and with time she actually comes to like Ciel. She likes his maturity, his drive, the way he can buckle down even when he doesn't like to do so, how cool he can stay even when emotions are tugging at him. She sees him as a wonderful friend and influence for Sebastian. Once she sees how Ciel gets along with Sakura and Misa she starts to see him as a good friend for the family in general and eventually one of them.

(sorry to flood you with asks oof ❤️❤️) re: Matsuri, I realize most of the fandom highkey hates her but I actually liked her when she was introduced in those filler eps (not so much in Shippuden). imo there's potential there, if handled correctly, but she receives so much vitriol already it's probably for the best that nothing actually happened between them

AAAAAAA ya'll have nothing to apologize for!! I actually enjoy receiving your asks! 😭😭❤❤ If anything, I'm sorry if I get so long to to get on it! 😭😭

I AGREE WITH YOU HARD. Matsuri was actually good during that Sunagakure Support Mission arc. I liked her, too! Her choosing Gaara to be her teacher when no one else did meant a LOT to Gaara that he even smiled, (a really cute but very small and brief smile)

Some people say that he was smiling because of Matsuri. Yeah, tad bit maybe, but I think it's more of a hopeful smile kind of thing. I'm reslly thankful for Matsuri because the decision she chose to make had certainly affected Gaara positively. And the babie DESERVES IT. 😭😭❤❤

She was great until she showed up again in the Kazekage Rescue Mission Arc. My positive feelings for her kind of lessened.. but I guess they were going for a lovestruck teenager kind of thing? Like Ino and Sakura fought over Sasuke haha. Either way I didn't hate her, I just don't like excessive, excessive fangirling as a character trait just to make a point. Does this make sense?? 😂😂

She was great in the Suna-Leaf Chunin Exams arc though and I began to appreciate her once again, but I just couldn't see her with Gaara.. 😂😭😂😭😂

If there's anyone that I ship Gaara with, it will be Ameno!

Ameno is from the Suna-Leaf Chunin Exams arc. I love, love her character; she was interesting and she really stood out to me. She's a calm, smart and a very skilled Medical Nin (Even Sakura praised her). I actually even began thinking if she could be Suna's Tsunade, which would've been great because I'd really really love to see some plot development outside Konoha. :(

I saw her as a potential partner of Gaara because her personality seems to have an interesting chemistry with him. I would pick her over Matsuri, Yukata and Shijima any day.

Thank you for sending this ask, love! ❤
