Seduce Me Situations!
Nicknames! What would Mika call her potential love interest and what would they call her as nicknames?
James- "James" is a short enough name to not really need a nickname, though Mika does call him "Jay" every once in a while. If they're dating then Mika's preferred pet name for James is "Sunrise" or "My bookworm", one is referring to his preferred color and the other his nerd-like tendencies. She's probably called him "Nerd" before too. James doesn't really give Mika a nickname until they're dating, then she's "Love". I can also see him call her "Doll". He probably would have called her something sun related if she didn't get to it first.
Erik- "Erik" is even shorter of a name but Mika still managed to shorten it to "Eri". She also calls him "My liege" whenever she wants to teasingly match Erik's flirtatious energy. If they're dating, Mika probably goes down the cheesy pet names like "Dear", "Love" "Darling", "Sweetheart", etc. Though a unique name that Erik loves to be called is "Orchid", Mika called him that as Erik's eye and hair reminded her of the orchids she would usually see. Erik, of course, calls Mika "Princess" (or "Highness" in the Harem route) and that's basically her name now. There is no Mika, only Princess.
Sam- There is no shortening "Sam"; Sam is usually the shortened name. Instead, Mika calls Sam just "Sam" for the most part. Though, she might playfully sneak in a "Jerk" sometimes. After they start dating, the nickname "Jerk" becomes almost as common as Sam's "Doofus" nickname for Mika. Also "Babe" I can see Mika calling Sam Babe. I don't see Sam being much a nickname person. Though something Mika will never call Sam is anything monster related. That is a nickname no-no.
Matthew- Finally! A name that doesn't need a stretch to shorten it! "Matt" or "Matty"! Probably Matty, Matty is cuter. At first, Matthew was a little embarrassed by the nickname "Matty" but he learned to like it. After they're dating, I can see "Blue Jay" being a sweet nickname, especially since Matthew can canonically summon birds. I can definitely see Matthew calling Mika "Miki" before they're dating, especially when the "Matty" nickname started. After they start dating, I can see Matthew occasionally calling Mika "Kitten". Why? ...All I'm gunna say is that if you know Matthew's wiki page, you know why. A little bonus, they absolutely use some of the most cringy, old people pet names in a joking/teasing manner.
Damien- Okay... hear me out. "Damin". That's a weird ass shortening but it's an inside joke. Another would be "Carrot" especially when they're first getting to know each other. After they start dating, I feel like the default nickname for Damien would be "Sweetie" or "Hunny". It's just so classic romance and they fit that. As for nicknames Damien would call Mika, again the classics. "Sweetie", "Hunny", etc. An interesting one would be "Usagi" or "Usa". Usagi is the Japanese word for Bunny/Rabbit and Damien's second language is Japanese so I think it fits.
Diana- There's a canon one! Di! (Which unfortunately fits most of her endings) But others that Mika would come up with would be "Dia" (Also a little inside joke) and "Ana". After they start dating, I can see Mika and Saero scheming nicknames togethers but they can never really agree on a lot of them as Mika uses the name Diana and Saero uses the name Ezaeur. One they did agree on was "Lily" as a nod to Diana's ancestor. As for what Diana would call Mika back, she already uses "Dear" a lot. She might add "Darling" in a few times too.
Bonus Round! Demon Nicknames!
Raestrao- Rae
Uzaeris- Uza, Eris
Aomaris- Mari, Amo
Zecaeru- Carrie, Ru-Ru
Izroul- Izzy, Roulx Kaard
Ezaeur- Ez, Zae

original character-focussed fic recs
One of the best feelings for me as a fic writer in this fandom is when somebody tells me that they liked one of my original characters. Character creation can be hard work and nerve-wracking, so it’s really rewarding whenever people tell me that it’s paid off. This fandom has a wealth of fantastic, memorable original characters, so I wanted to make a recommendation list of some of my favourite fics that feature them. The fics in this list are a range of lengths, ratings, warnings, and themes, and I’m hoping everyone will be able to find something to their taste here.
Of course this list is not exhaustive, and I’m always open to more recommendations!

Hey SMTO fandom! Amongst my time of cosplaying the characters (which you can watch here if you don't know my stuff) I did also do a genderswap au for a fun thing to continue doing the characters, but that was really it, however I'm about to reveal a project I never got around to working on...
✨️Seduce Me: Band AU✨️
I just recently remembered this, so I'm going to try and remember all the headcannons + add new ones, that I would have done!
James: Pianist, guitar + Band manager/agent, Lead vocal
Erik: Pianist, a little guitar, singer
Sam: Drums, guitar, back up singer
Matthew: base, back up singer, drums
Damien: learning: guitar, base, piano and vocals
Mika (mc): Singer
Diana: solo artist/singer
Saero: Diana's bodyguard
Suzu: Drums
Naomi: piano, harp
Andrew: piano
✨️Now headcannons✨️:
(Disclaimer: I'm not very knowledgeable on music stuffs so...)
• All the boys have tattoos, they all got a matching one of a heart with horns (the horns varying to what theirs look like in the game)
• Tattoos (not including the matching ones)
- James: tribal pattern around his lower torso, music notes
- Erik: Twisted rose vines with sharp thorns with blood drops
- Sam: Dragon on his back, demon circle on his shoulder, tribal patter on his front torso (to match his demon markings)
- Matthew: probably something colourful and kinda cute. A small simon tabby on his calf (he lost a bet)
- Damien: 4 music notes, each one drawn by a brother on his wrist
- Diana: Panther that looks like its coming out of her shoulder, Matching golden rose with Searo
• Piercings:
- James: (1)Earlobe double, helix, eyebrow
- Erik: Ears double, helix double, lip, nose, nipples
- Sam: Ears (double), helix ( double each), nose, tounge, lip (snakebite)
- Matthew: Ears, nose, helix (double)
- Damien: Ears (double), nose
- Diana: Ears, nipples, tounge
- Saero: Lip Dolphin bites, ear, helix
• Whenever Sam needs to vent out his feelings he takes it out on his drums, doing "practice sessions"
• All the brothers are teaching Damien how to play/sing since he wasn't allowed to learn growing up
• They've heard of Diana since their parents tries to get them to make a contract with each other but the brothers left their Fathers publisher name before they could
• While they enjoy playing together, the boys do have their own style as well
• SAM USES GUYLINER
• Mika would sing with Naomi and Suzu and they'd pretend to have big gigs while playing the the garage. Her father would rather she take over the producer company, but thinks its good she's "knowledgeable about the art"
• Erik is in charge of their outfits/costumes
• Matthew organises light/stage work etc
• Damien chills back stage with James when he's not on
• Damien is working on a song
• Sam takes his drumsticks with him everywhere. He has multiple and even a lucky pair
• Sams never been one for writing the songs but he tries to for Mika
• The boys started out at bars and small clubs and just where ever they could get a gig. They also done some shows for charity
• Harold discovered them and let them join his record company
• Mika wanted to be a singer but was supposed to take over her dad for the company and she "couldn't do both"
• Diana met up with Harold before about a job at his company but before papers could be finalised, he passed away
• Damien doesn't want to show his song as he's "still working on it" but if you were listening at the right time, you can hear him humming it, trying to work out a melody and lyrics
• Erik, Mika & Matthew are shower singers (both in the AU and cannon)
• The boys learned how to play Mikas favourite song as a surprise for her birthday
• Mika helps them out with Social Media management
That's all I have for now but hope you enjoy the concept. Feel free to add on or use as inspiration for anything (tho please credit/tag)
