Prompt 4 - Count

Previous part First part

Regulus spent a long time in the shower after he’d climbed the stairs to James’s dorm room. The marauders sat on their beds, Sirius on Remus’s, and waited for their newest member to emerge from the steamy bathroom. 

“Do you think he’s drowned himself?” Peter asked, jokingly. 

“I hope he does!” Sirius sniffled. "Snail murderer!” He shouted at the closed door. 

“Sirius, they were snails you got out of the greenhouses. You barely had them before you turned them into literal monsters,” Remus groaned into his pillow. The full moon was so hard on him, and it was so close now. He would probably benefit from a bath, James thought, his muscles were always so sore this close to the full moon, but Regulus showed no signs of vacating the bathroom any time soon. 

“We bonded, they were my babies, and he’s killed them,” Sirius cried. Remus lifted his head, his eyes like flint as he growled at Sirius. 

“You are ridiculous, you know that,” 

“Yes, you tell me often enough,” Sirius grumbled back. James had lost count of how many times Remus had called Sirius ridiculous, but they must be closing in on a million. 

He’d been about to go check on Regulus when the water suddenly shut off, and Regulus walked out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist and water dripping down his chest from his wet hair. James began to salivate. This was one of James’s favourite Regulus looks. It came in a close third to Regulus in his Quidditch uniform and Regulus wearing one of James’s t-shirts. They swamped him, and James found it very appealing.

“You,” Regulus pointed at James. “Bed. Now,” James obeyed immediately, not even saying goodnight to the others before he was in his bed and dragging Regulus inside with him. 

“Hey! What about my snails!” Sirius protested as the curtains were pulled closed and a silencing charm blocked everything out. James looked into Regulus’s eyes illuminated by his wand light and pulled Regulus closer so he could kiss him.

Fantasy Guide to Earls/Counts and Countesses

(👆🏻The way they are both wifey 👆🏻)

This new series will offer an indepth view of each noble title in the standard European hierarchy of noble titles. Here we will discuss what they are, their lands, their jobs and everything you need to know when writing them.

What exactly is an Earl/Count/Countess?

A Earldom is the third highest rank in most noble hierarchies. The Count/Earl/Countess rules a section of land within the Kingdom known as a Earldom, for example the Earl of Desmond or can be a standalone title. A Earldom is inherited through the family line, from father to son but the title is bestowed on the family by the monarch. Monarchs can also give their children Earldoms if they wish but often grant them Dukedoms. The former Earl of Wessex, Prince Edward was the last Prince granted an Earldom but advanced to the Duke of Edinburgh after his father's passing and his brother's assent. Earldoms might also be the title of the heirs of Dukes or Marquesses. An Count/Earl/Countess's heir would likely be titled as a Viscount.

Titles, Titles

You will have noticed that Earl and Count are interchangeable. Earl is the English equivalent of Count, which is widely used on the Continent. An Earl or Count is addressed as Lord PlaceName. For example, Downton Abbey's Robert Crawley is The Earl of Grantham but he is referred to as Lord Grantham. The wife of an Earl or Count, is styled as Countess and she's referred to as Lady Placename. They would be addressed as Your Lordship and Your Ladyship.

Family of the Count/Earl/Countess

A Countess on her own right is referred to as the same but her make spouse does not become Count or Earl. He keeps his own title. As for same sex couples, again I remain on the dark here but I would think that they would take on their spouses' next highest title. The children of a Count/Earl/Countess is styled Lord/Lady Firstname with the heir taking on the title of Viscount/Viscountess or the next available title.

The Role of the Count/Earl/Countess

The Count/Earl/Countess is leader of the Earldom, which is a fairly large section of the kingdom. They are in control of this section, the highest power in law and order, politics and all things in that section with only the Duke or the Marquess and the monarch above. They handle administration at the highest level, raising troops from their earldom for the crown in times of war, see the collection of taxes and sometimes they might even advise the monarch if they are offered a place of the monarch's council. They would also attend the monarch at their coronation.

Cribs

Count/Earl/Countesses like a lot of nobility would have multiple houses, manors, estates etc. Their homes would be the grandest in the land and the social hubs for the Earldoms and even the country. A Count/Earl/Countess would sometimes live at court when invited but would also have the homes in the capital. This vast portfolio can become a source of income as the Count/Earl/Countess can rent them out or a handy way to shelf relatives who depended on them.

Are they bi based on vibes?

Propaganda:

Too "It would break my heart to see anyone other than you flying ahead of me" towards Trigger to be straight, yet not quite the vibes for gay either, he does have some solid chemistry with Huxian too.

Absolute bastard at first, very easy to hate, but by the end the only one following you/Trigger into a suicide mission with zero hesitation, gets blatantly told it's a suicide mission and does it anyways. From a twat who flees early and inflates his killcount to Trigger's most loyal and competent wingman (seriously, he does so well during the DLC it's wild) who trusts him with his life and death.
