#idk how to move on.. my heart is his. it always has been Gavins

[nighton-mars]

I’m having the stupidest little melt down 🥲

[synnefo-nefeli]

I really love the scene in Heard Your Heart Beating when Apollo and Klavier sleep after drinking and Apollo wakes up at some point and looks at Klavier and thinks about him and Daryan and Kristoph. Idk I really like the vibe of it and also Apollo is really fond of him and you can see it lol

This is for the DVD Commentary Author Ask if there is a scene from any of my works you’d like to see a DVD commentary on, send me an ask!

Yesss this one of my favorite scenes so far in HYHB.

So there are two things going on in this scene- one is a payoff moment when Apollo figures out the significance of Valentine's Day is to Klavier, and the other is the emergence of the theme of " Safety". This chapter also functions as a transition point from Klavier and Apollo moving from work colleagues into a closer friendship. There is still a giddy nervousness at the beginning of this chapter that is usually associated with moving to the next step.

I wanted to express that almost frenetic nervous energy when inviting a new friend/date/etc into your personal space for the first time. And Apollo, despite him stating repeatedly that the hangout is platonic/feeling guilty about appearing to move on from Clay /trying to keep that boundary that’s existed so far between them, allows that boundary to fall.

By the end of the chapter there is now a comfort and deeper trust between them so that their relationship can continue to develope organically over the next few chapters without Apollo being constantly flustered every time Klavier teases him or there still being awkward feelings between them. They’re still in the “getting to know you” phase of their friendship but they’re at the point where coffee breaks and after work drinks no longer suffice. They now want to hang out as much as possible.

More under the cut so I don't spoil people for this chapter

Before I get back into the Safety theme I want to reiterate the meaning of the story’s title. It comes from Florence + The Machine’s song, “Cosmic Love”. The lyric goes:

“ I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too-So I stayed in the darkness with you”

This lyric aside from Comic Love being a big mood inspiration for the story, this lyric refers to Klavier and Apollo finding eachother after going through a really shitty and traumatic year and a half.

They recognize that the other is a source of some comfort as each of them understand what the other is going through a little bit better than the others around them.

This scene is the first confirmation to the reader that yes, Klavier is actively seeking out Apollo for comfort.

So far in this story we know *something* is bothering Klavier- he’s actively avoiding someone and he’s been kinda timid in reaching out to people without having his glimmerous persona constantly on. In the following chapter, Klavier mentions that he’s been asked to be in Edgeworth’s wedding.

Apollo attempts to commiserate with Klavier about this as Phoenix has just asked Apollo to be his best man.

Klavier tells Apollo that Apollo shouldn’t be shocked about being asked to be Phoenix’s best man- considering how much Apollo means to Phoenix. He has to point out to Apollo how much Apollo means to Phoenix and Trucy as well as how Apollo impacted Klavier’s choice to return to the legal world full-time.

And while Klavier is honored that he’s been asked by Edgeworth, his being asked is more of a surprise than Apollo being included in the Wright-Edgeworth nuptials. There is no way that Apollo wouldn’t be included after all he’s done for Phoenix and Trucy and how close he is to the WAA. Klavier had a different dynamic with Edgeworth. Part of this because, well, it’s Edgeworth. But Edgeworth has formed close bonds with Gumshoe and Kay...but Edgeworth just spent the last few years chasing down a Phantom Criminal in order to save Simon from Death Row. So Miles and Simon had a closer dynamic.

Klavier unfortunately comes with a lot of baggage-most of it being from things beyond his control. It was his debut that resulted in Miles’ partner from being disbarred and disgraced. There is everything with Kristoph. Combine the canon stuff along with this story establishing that the Gavins and the von Karmas have a bit of a family feud going on, it’s no wonder why Klavier admits to feeling that he’s still needs to figure out if and where he belongs.

He’s always looked up to Phoenix and Miles and wants to spend his career under them, but he thinks he needs more chances to prove himself to rebuild trust.

Of course- the obvious signal Klavier is missing, is “Hi, the Chief Prosecutor has asked you to be in his wedding party. If the grooms didn’t like you, you wouldn’t have been invited let alone asked to be IN THEIR WEDDING PARTY” ...and he misses it right after he’s finished telling Apollo, “how could youthink you’d wouldn’t be included, Herr Forehead. Jeeze.”

Like I said- Klavier is shit at taking his own advice. I’m not being mean to Klavier, but because Klavier is anxious about trusting people and letting people in, he prefers to do things on his own terms and under his control just in case he needs to get out if he gets rejected.

And even though he reached out to Apollo first with his condolences for Clay’s death he didn’t expect anything more than a thank you note, but Apollo not only acknowledging him, hunting him down to his apartment and even offering his company to Klavier, was a happy surprise to someone who has been very lonely.

He’s been wanting to get to know Apollo but he’s felt awkward due to the fallout with Kristoph and the continuing dark age of the law of which he was apart of the two major catalysts.

Apollo over the last few weeks is appearing to be a safe space for Klavier.

However Klavier wants more confirmation and a chance to suss things out (re: Kristoph). So when Apollo says he doesn’t have plans and was oblivious about Valentine’s, Klavier pounces on it. He spent Valentine’s alone the previous year and it spiraled his depression so he was not in the mood to again this year.

This scene was meant to be that very comfortable state between two people with a budding friendship. Once you get drunk with someone while having deep conversations, it tends to push you more into the friendship category.

It was also important to get some of the serious topics out rather than dragging it out. Having this quiet evening is something they both needed, and it allowed them be vulnerable. Especially since Apollo was already upset from the phone conversation he had with the Terrans earlier in the chapter.

Apollo needed a night in with the only person who has never treated him with kid gloves, even before Clay’s death. And Klavier needed a night in with the only person who has never put him on a pedestal.

When discussing Kristoph, it was important to remind the reader that Kristoph is a human being- it’s what makes him a compelling villain and why his betrayal of both Apollo and Klavier’s trust strikes an emotional chord with the player. Before the events of AA4, there was a time where Kristoph gained Apollo and Klavier’s love and loyalty, where he was a normal boss, a dog-dad, a good older brother. There were good times and happy memories- which is why when Kristoph is exposed, Apollo and Klavier are disillusioned- Klavier moreso. But another reason as to why Klavier finds Apollo to be a safe haven, is because, Apollo knew the Kristoph Klavier loved. They both wanted Kristoph to be proud of them. They respected him and wanted Kristoph to be proud of and acknowledge them.

Klavier has been wanting to talk to Apollo about this for awhile and I believe so has Apollo. Apollo is never going to say to Phoenix, “hey Mr. Wright, Mr. Gavin was a good mentor to me too-“ it wouldn’t go over well, even though Kristoph was a good mentor to Apollo-his only flaw was thinking that Apollo would happily be a lickspittle and easy to manipulate. So when Apollo gives Klavier that reassurance that Klavier can talk about those happier moments of his life involving Kristoph, Klavier sees that Apollo wants to take that awkward stress away from Klavier but also Apollo wants to get to know Klavier better.

Klavier is so used to people researching his celebrity persona and forming opinions based off of his former lifestyle, that it’s refreshing to find someone who wants to organically grow their relationship without preconceptions.

Yes, Apollo initially wrote Klavier off as being a fop and glimmorous- but those thoughts were due to Apollo being self-conscious. By the end of Turnabout Serenade, Apollo admits that Klavier is pretty cool and in DD, Apollo remarks that Klavier is different than most prosecutors and how dedicated Klavier is towards his job.

It was also important in this chapter to allow for Apollo to discuss Clay and his relationship with Clay’s family. You’ll notice in this story that Klavier is the only person Apollo will share anecdotes about Clay with and freely grieve about Clay. It’s not that Apollo hides it from The WAA, he does share some things with them, but right now, Klavier is the only close peer Apollo has, and this comfortable vulnerability they’ve trusted eachother with allows Apollo to express himself with out him fearing that he’ll appear fragile. He’s tired of people walking on eggshells around him, but Klavier hasn’t and never will.

Likewise, I made sure to have Klavier fish for information about Apollo. Yes they’ve been hanging out for weeks at this point and worked a case together (sorta), but those coffee dates have been more talking about work, general topics like Trucy’s shows, etc.. they’ve been light in topic. So dinner and drinks at someone’s home gives way to deeper conversations about value-systems, love lives (even though Apollo isn’t entirely truthful lol), etc. And it works really well to the point they get more comfortable than either had anticipated.

I loved writing the discussion about how Klavier will never ever do a performance of “The Guitar’s Serenade” where he’s singing Lamiror’s words. It was such an organic moment while writing too- Klavier just started talking about how he’s feel like an imposter to sing those words because he’s never experienced a lost true love...and he hopes that he’ll never know what that feels like. It’s an honest moment that puts to rest any assumptions Apollo may have had about if Klavier is just a flirt not to be taken seriously in the romance department.

Hearing that Klavier is pretty private in his love life, isn’t a player, and has pretty much admitted that he tries to date with the intention of marriage, shows Apollo more into Klavier’s serious and introspective side. A side that Apollo’s only known in the context of their work. It makes Apollo realize that Klavier is human and is wanting of things like love and companionship. More importantly, Klavier will take those things seriously should he be so lucky to receive them.

There is also a bit of humor here- because c’mon Klavier lives to be playful when he can, and he wants to know more about Apollo’s views on love and relationships. Apollo is adorably flustered because he doesn’t want to admit he’s still a virgin. But in this portion I wanted to start laying down the idea that Apollo is demisexual. Part of the reason he hasn’t fallen in love or felt desire is because he’s fullfilled by his relationships with those he holds dear, but also no one has been interested in Apollo and stayed long enough to bond with Apollo in a way for desire to to bloom.

Because they’re starting as friends-particularly a friendship made as adults- this is going to give Apollo that chance to realize he wants more from Klavier. And for Klavier who wants a true friend and companion after the betrayals he’s suffered, Apollo is a perfect match for him.

The most important thing for me while writing this scene was to show Apollo and the reader that Klavier is suffering and grieving just like Apollo is, (and to establish early that Klavier is super bad at taking any of his own advice) and for Apollo to start drawing parallels to himself while wanting to dig into what’s going on with Klavier.

Apollo is interesting because he’s more likely to say what’s exactly bothering him but fails to realize his feelings about others.

Whereas Klavier is very aware of his own feelings but will hide what’s bothering him from others.

They’re also two people who now need reassurance about where they fit in and how others consider them in their lives.

And if you were wondering: yes, at this point Klavier does have a crush on Apollo haha. So getting invited to sleep over was a bonus for him...despite it being labeled as a “platonic sleep-over”, because at this point in the story, it is a platonic sleep over. Klavier is good at reading the room (even when drunk) to know that Apollo isn’t making a move on him and neither should he.

The comment Klavier makes about Apollo’s bed’s size is a homage to my favorite BL manga, FAKE. In the manga, Ryo who has just started as a detective at a new precinct and met his new partner, Dee- has Dee over that same day for dinner and Dee winds up staying the night. Ryo has a large bed for a single guy (according to Dee) and Dee makes a comment “that’s a big bed you got there, do you have a girl to go with it?” because Dee the little shit that he is, is trying to see if Ryo is single (and yes, they sleep in the same bed that night. How is that fir team building haha...it’s totally platonic. It takes Dee 7 volumes to get that. Please read it it’s a classic). Klavier is totally asking to get a rise out of Apollo because Klavier suspects that Apollo exaggerated his experience because Apollo’s pivot was not smooth at all XD.

Finally the last aspect of showing safety is them sleeping in the same bed together. We know from descriptions of Klavier that Klavier has not been sleeping well. Something is keeping him up at night and his mood has been less glimmerous. When he arrives at Apollo’s that evening; he wasn’t able to really conceal the dark circles under his eyes. Apollo has been missing Clay, who would usually sleep over and share the bed with Apollo,’s company.

Sleeping next to someone, especially falling into a deep sleep in a bed that is not your own, is a sign of trust. Yes they were sleepy from the alcohol, but they went to bed together easily, slept for hours, had brunch, and went BACK to sleep. Neither minded, nor did Klavier feel that he should leave after they ate. They are comfortable and too hungover to even think about anything except getting more sleep XD Also it’s not as if Klavier is in a hurry to get home when he eventually saw the text from his land lady.

Sorry if that was a rambling response but I have a lot of love for this scene in particularly and I’m so excited to give a behind the scenes look at it!

Victor…

...watches your head fall between your shoulders, and instantly feels bad about what he said. He should have been less harsh about it, really, but he cannot take the words back anymore. Also, it is not that he wants to put you down. It is the opposite in fact. Victor knows that you can do better, and he wishes to ensure that you strive to produce your best. But hearing you sniffle makes his heart break, even if he doesn’t show it. 

          “I’ll go and fix this then,” you mumble under your breath, trying to fight the urge to cry. Before you have the chance to turn away, Victor sighs. You expect him to chide you for wearing your heart on your sleeve, but instead are surprised when he holds out his hand with a handkerchief. 

         “Something as insignificant as this should not upset you so much.” Victor wishes that he knew how to explain better. 

         Though his words are rough, you accept the handkerchief and blot your eyes carefully. “I… I just…” 

         “Take a deep breath,” he urges, his finger hooking under your chin. Victor looks at you with concerned eyes. “You can only get better from here.” 

         You inhale slowly and nod. Victor catches himself staring into your eyes for too long, so he pulls back and turns his head down to the side. 

         “And that’s really only because you’re at rock bottom right now. If you fell any further, you might drill through to the other side of the world. It’s a commendable accomplishment, really.” 

         “Hey! That isn’t helping!” 

         Victor chuckles under his breath. “You’re not crying anymore, are you?” 

         You blink quickly. Indeed, Victor’s comment was drastic enough that it snapped you out of your miserable moment. “Oh.. I’m not.” 

         He smiles ever so slightly. “Alright, now that you’re back to your usual self, you better get to work. I need the final version of this by noon tomorrow.” 

         Just like you got back to yourself, Victor returned to his typical tsundere self. You fold the handkerchief and offer it back to him. 

         “Keep it. I don’t want your germs.” 

Gavin…

...sees your lip trembling before you feel it. He pulls you into his chest and runs his fingers through your hair tenderly, cradling you against his chest. “Please don’t be upset. It’s not that big of a deal, really.” Gavin rubs your back slowly, but you just bury your face against him and let the tears fall. 

         He was right, but it didn’t change the fact that your day was going horribly. It started off with you stubbing your toe, then you couldn’t find your favourite shirt, and now, you had taken a wrong turn and would miss the grand opening of the festival downtown. There were smaller things that happened throughout the day that just stacked atop each other, but this was the cherry on top. 

         You just want to go home at this point, crawl under the sheets, and hide away from the world. Clutching Gavin’s shirt, you wring your fingers in the fabric. “Can we leave, please?” you ask through soft sobs. 

         Gavin gives you a pained look and tucks his arms around your waist. “Yeah, sure,” he whispers before pressing a kiss to the crown of your head. “Hold on.” 

         “Hold on? What do you mea–”

         But Gavin has already taken the liberty of hoisting you into the air with his evol powers. You had gotten used to the weightlessness sensation as the world whizzed bellow you, so this does not scare you anymore. Still, you hold on tightly to Gavin and hope that you arrive home soon. 

         However, when you peek out from the safety of his jacket, you realize that the two of you are in fact not going towards your shared apartment. Instead, you are making your way to downtown – where the festival is. 

         “But Gavin, I thought–”

         “Yeah, but I didn’t want you to be sad,” he replies quickly. Gavin tips his head down and smiles brightly at you. “Don’t cry anymore, please.” 

         You look down and see the golden lights of the festival stands. The glow reaches upwards, making the city look alive – the chatter of people is loud and welcoming, and you can smell the food from the sky. “You didn’t have to…” 

         “Yes I did.” Gavin lands easily off to the side, away from prying eyes. He wipes your cheeks and pats your hair down. “Shall we?”

Kiro…

...enters the room to find you strewn across the couch, your face hidden by the plush cushions. He slings himself across the room and lands next to you with an oof. “Miss Chips!” he sings playfully, tapping your shoulder. “Are you asleep?” 

         You don’t really want to look up. Kiro would see your eyes and know that you had been crying. Could you get away with pretending to be asleep?

         “Miss Chips?” 

         Still no answer. 

         Kiro takes off his jacket and drapes it over your shoulders before getting up to change out of the rest of his clothes. 

         While he was away, you found a stack of opened fan mail. He was likely sorting through it and replying, but you could not help but feel inferior to the people who were writing him. You, unlike these people, do not have such a flashy story to tell. Albeit, you met Kiro on accident and your relationship evolved from there. Still, something feels missing… Kiro really could be with anyone he wants, and you struggle to find an explanation as to why he chose you over them. 

         Kiro returns and hums softly to himself as he takes his seat next to you. He smells like that wildflower soap you got him as a gift a few months ago. It comforts you, so you reach up and take his hand from his lap. 

         “You live!” he exclaims happily, pocketing his phone. “Why are you lying face down on the couch though?” 

         Rolling over, you do your best to cover your face, but Kiro catches a glimpse of your reddened face. “What happened?” Kiro demands, pulling you into his lap. He smothers you with kisses and pries your hands away from your face in order to dry your tears. “Please tell me... “ 

         “It’s just that–” you begin, looking over your shoulder at the letters. 

         Kiro does not let you finish your thought. “Miss Chips! Don’t you dare think any less of yourself. You are the best thing to happen to me, and I wouldn’t trade all the sweets in the world for you. You are brilliant and kind and brave and so strong with everything you do. I’m so proud of you and lucky that you’re with me. Okay?” 

         He always knows what to say to cheer you up, so you nod and tuck your face into the crook of his neck as he cuddles you gently. 

Lucien…

...worries all day when you do not show up to his lecture. At first, he thought you were running late, but when you don’t respond to his text messages either, Lucien suspects that something else is up. He cancels his afternoon appointments and drives home, but instead of going to his apartment, he knocks on the door to yours. 

         Still no answer, but the door creaks open. Lucien knows it would be better if he stays away, but something pulls on his heart and urges him to go inside. He goes inside and calls out to you, hoping to hear your voice. The lights are all turned out, and it looks like no one is home. 

         “The door opened, and you’ve been away all day. Where are you?” Lucien asks, his voice slightly on edge. 

         You, backed into the far corner of your closet, stay quiet and hope that he goes away. You don’t want to see Lucien at the moment, and it’s better if he does not see you. 

         However, when Lucien sits on your bed, he catches a glimpse of you inside the closet. He stays in his spot and looks at you. “Why are you hiding?” 

         Biting your lip, you shake your head. “I don’t want to come out.” 

         Lucien nods his head slowly. “You don’t have to. But can you tell me why you’re there?” 

         Inhaling slowly, you bury your head in your arms and bring your knees to your chest. Although your response is muffled, Lucien understands. If you do not want to talk about it, he will not press you. Instead, however, Lucien stands up from the bed, opens the door, and takes a seat next to you. “Cozy, here, isn’t it?” 

         He hopes you will smile at the comment, but when you do not move, Lucien tucks his arm around your shoulders and holds you tightly. You unravel from your fetal position and lean against him. It feels good to have Lucien next to you, but you still do not want to confess why you are there. 

         For now, you are okay with just having him to support you.

wedge and tycho along with wes and hobbie have all been friends since like forever. they start hanging out with luke and biggs and wedge eventually drifts apart to hang out more with "mirax's friends" who are really corran's friends aka the main group (but mostly corran, gavin, mirax, and iella are the ones wedge hangs out with from there. plus pash and asyr in engineering.) damn i could make a CHART to map all these relationships in this au. should i

2/ wes and hobbie are ALWAYS getting in trouble but hobbie can usually get himself out of the trouble by being like “um, i was in a car accident last year, here do you want to see my leg” and goes as if he is going to take off his prosthetic leg but the teachers just let him go. wes however has all his original limbs so he cannot do this and he is BITTER

3/ last night i was thinking about how mara jade should be in this au and came to the conclusion that MARA JADE SHOULD BE IN THIS AU!!!! i don’t particularly care about her and luke so idk if they’re a thing but like. they can be but they don’t *have* to be. anyways what i’m focusing on with mara is her and corran being friends!!!!! because they’re friends and i love that so THEY ARE FRIENDS HERE TOO. and mara and mirax are also best friends (woefully unexplored in legends) because HECK YEAH

4/ in this au talon karrde is mara’s dad because he is definitely mara’s dad. their family is friends with the terriks (which IS something that legends did well; karrde keeps giving presents to the horn kids) and mara and mirax were childhood bffs that stayed bffs

5/ omg what if mara joins corran and ooryl’s book club

6/ oh and biggs and hobbie are dating in the au because in the darklighter comic they were totally dating

I don’t know Mara well enough in canon yet, but how much some people love her just warms my heart and I am HERE for these friendships!! more friendships!! (she says, as she keeps shipping the heck of everything tha moves… ops? I do love friendships, though)

childhood bffs

YES, SHE DOES, Mara is in the book club now

1,2,8,26 for the multi muse ask thing

is there a muse that you wish gets more attention?

most of my originals tbh? very much lilli, pride, and chronos because i have put a lot of thought into who they are and i care so much about them? not that i don’t care about all of them, but they’re some of my favorite to write, and lilli just needs friends? i try to use them for memes if people don’t specify a muse, but sometimes it’s hard to write them without plotting because, with pride and chronos, there’s a bit of meta-gaming involved and some people are uncomfortable with that so. but yeah def them.

if you HAD to choose, who’s your favorite muse?

jamie. hands down. i love all my muses but i have had jamie since 2013. i written 73 pages in short stories on him. he’s moved through 4 blogs, various ships, incredible amounts of backstory and character development. when i see something, i immediately relate it to him. he is my character. and if i hadn’t had all these other muses in my head, i would have never moved him over here. i just can’t physically handle more than one blog, and i couldn’t abandon him. i love him so much. i want everyone to love him. 

what is each of your muses otps? notps?

all 24 of them? okay yo i’ve got this. this is where imma insert a read more

chronos: def ethan/lila is otp because that’s technically canon. he hasn’t had enough interaction to warrant otherselliot: elliot/jasper is climbing quickly. elliot/thomas is canon otp thankselyssa: hasn’t? had? anyone? please change.fabian: fab/remus is a fav of mine. i also like fabian/dorcas. tbh i don’t have notps with fab? he gets along with a lot of people. probably a lot of death eaters though. but i’d try it at least. fenris: *snorts* i love all of fenris’ ships, ahah. fenders, fenbela, fenhawke.. i’d even try fen/dorian just for a+ rivalmance thanks. that’d be… disasterous. idk. have to say probably not fen/merrill if that’s even a thing. and fen probably hates most blood mages. JAMIE: seb/jamie, with my lovely @moriartyproperty is my current canon ship for jamie. there have been past ships (gabe/jamie, the first ship ever. jasper/jamie, julian/jamie, jamie/blair) which are still near to my heart. jamie/nikolai is always important, it made him who he is, but is also very… *cries*. also jamie is basically a walking flirt so he will ship with anyonejim: jim/seb, also with @moriartyproperty because i love her. jim is hard to ship with. i do not typically ship him with sherlock (it’s not really a notp, but i don’t ship it the way the fandom does?) i also don’t ship jim/john, jim/irene, jim.. well basically jim with anyone else in the fandom. except molly. i think that’s cute. but again i don’t ship it the way most in the fandom do.jodie: jodie/jay thanks. i love jay’s arc. i think ryan clayton is an asshole but i give him credit and i played out his romance ending. he’s not a notp, but he’s still a jerk and jodie deserves better and belongs with jay, and i stand by that.karliah: obviously with gallus. ngl i think a toxic relationship with mercer would be interesting. anyone else is really.. not an option. kraglin: i don’t have one? the fandom seems to ship him with yondu but i don’t? not a lot. a little. i can see it. and i’m open to it. but i think he needs to find his own romance. not peter. notp. liam: liam’s canon otp is him/james moore. notp would be him/corin aka his boss, the guy that wants him dead. yeah. idk. lilli: lilli doesn’t have any ships. she doesn’t love her husband and she hasn’t interacted with enough to form ships so. notp her husband ahah.marie: uh, notp her siblings? idk. she’s 17. she doesn’t have sights on romance yet.maya: notp with fang because he treated her like shit and she deserves so much more than that, thanks. persephone: obviously otp seph/hades end of discussion love of all loves end of all days marriage of all marriagespride: pride/humility. the only relationship that he could theoretically be in. i want it so badly. it’s my favorite thing. his cardinal opposite. there are other mythical creatures and beings i’ve dabbled in ships with and stuff, but it’s all been sort of mutual symbiotic relationships, not actual love stuff.reece: reece/josie is canonly my otp, but i redid reece’s playthrough with reece/blackwall and let’s ignore the age difference, it was fucking adorable, i loved it, bye. notp would probs be reece/sera? idk. reece loves people. i haven’t tried them, so i can’t say how she’d react.reggie: reggie/james potter is absolutely my notp he hates james so much. also reggie/sev, i don’t like it. i’m a secret blackcest person sue me. idk. reggie is just… lonely and shut off and doesn’t have time to emotion. reggie/remus probably? i love remus save me. rin: rin/kohaku i adore. but she’s canonically 8, then 11, so nah. i don’t ship rin/sess, but i don’t hate it either. i don’t really have a lot of ships/notps for her though since she’s a bby.sirius  wolfstar is my weakness save me, ultimate otp, i give my soul. i also love siri/marlene. i’ve got some great siri/oc matches too. siri is pretty open to ships. i don’t think i’d ship siri/sev tbh, or siri/most slytherins just ‘cause he’s an asshole in that regard. i also like siri/hermione no shame.suze: suze/jesse is canon also my otp. they get married so i mean. yeah. talia: in my game she marries farkas so. that’s otp for me. i wanted to marry brynjolf but that’s not fucking an option so fuck that. i like talia/mjoll too so. y’know. idk. talia doesn’t give a fuck really. teren: teren/dorian is canon, is otp, is my love, thank. also teren/gavin, love you @foundgold usagi: usagi/mamoru is canon, but i also reeeeeally like usagi/seiya. um. i don’t really notp much for her? she has a specific relationship set and i just adore it to begin with, so that’s end game anyway. but she’s a very loving person anyway.

which muse is most likely to have kids?

jamie already does in some verses, and is pregnant in his lady verse with sebastian so! then reece would love to adopt with josie. elyssa and lilli both. talia might adopt waaaay down the road. teren maybe, but it would be veeeeery later. liam probably, if he ever finds himself safe. usagi has a daughter. rin definitely. persephone does have kids. siri probably would but life sucks, and harry is more than enough. suze will at some point i think. marie will.
