everyone else fought me i just expected you were going to fight me too
im not waiting to see the whole event story its so cute and i love them
(rbs appreciated!)
I'm curious, in the Yandere house how long would it take for each skeleton to turn obsessive of the MC? And what traits would draw them in? Alsooo- Would it be ok to write you a mini short story about this situation? đ Thank you and take care!
13: THIS is what the skeletons like most about there s/o which fits to what drew them in. You can absolutely write a short story, please share it with me I would love to read it
Sans -It takes a while and a lot of research for him to be interested in someone. He doesnât enjoy paranoia in a person but he does enjoy integrity and a sense of justice purely because they are entertaining to him, especially when their morals are put under a microscope.
Papyrus -Itâs pretty much instant and he can basically be obsessed with any trait. He doesnât have a preference and is surprisingly flexible with most personality types. If you ask him he does answer that he likes honest people and this is true but not a necessity for him to obsess over you.
Red -Heâs curious about them but it takes a while for that to actually develop into an obsession. He likes a bit of fear behind his obsessive eyes so prefers them to not be too brave and actually likes people with a lot of patiences and who wonât complain. He is also drawn to kindness as a trait although he doesnât know this himself.
Edge -It's fifty-fifty about whether his obsession is instant or not and really depends on the situation and timing. He actually really likes curiosity as a trait in people because answering their questions makes him feel superior. He also appreciates someone with a bit of grit but itâs not a necessity.
Blue -It is instant, from the moment he sees his obsession he is in love with them although that obviously could change later depending on if he likes their personality or not. The trait he likes the most is kindness. Just straight up kindness the more unwavering the better.
Orange -It takes him a hot second to fall for anyone, like maybe months not that anyone would really be able to tell whenever he does develop feelings for someone. Itâs pretty contradictory but he likes people who are both oddly smart and also incredible stupid, take that however you want.
Berry -Itâs instant but he doesnât really know what is going on so he is very clingy and very confused as he tries to work through these new feelings. Trait wise is anything that could be perceived and dominating whether this is actually something else like bravery or straight up cruelty or just demanding if it lets you stand up to Berry heâs into it
Syrup -It usually takes a while. When he first sees them there may be a twinge of something but it often needs time to develop into something deeper. He actually has this feeling with a lot of people, it just usually doesnât go anywhere. He is most attracted to unpredictable and spontaneous personalities as they give him a challenge and something unexpected.
Despite posting that they would release next week, the last part of the English version of the season 4 specials was temporarily released at 4am today, and is now available via Google Drive
Heyyy so I have a itty bitty request for you if you don't mind! I was wondering if you could write something for a reader who's getting courted by the monkeys but just so happens to be MK's mom? đđ¶ïžđ€
I absolutely love the way you write them and hope to see you around more often!
-đ
A/N: certainly, thank you for the kind words! I kinda got carried away with the length (also sorry I took so long)
Characters: Sun Wukong, Macaque, MK + female!Reader
You didn't get along at first
You really didn't like this whole putting the world on the shoulders of your kid
however, after careful consideration, lots of stern talks with the great sage and puppy dog eyes (from both MK and his mentor) you decided to let MK keep training under the Monkey King
Your conversations with Wukong revolved around MK's progress and safety for a while
until one day it developed into more, such as his adventures from back in the day, where you worked, what happened between you and MK's dad, etc
as you got to know each other more and more, soon budding feelings began to rear their heads
When he realized this Wukong had conflicting feelings, to say the least
on one hand, you're a very nice person (not to mention attractive) and a perfect mom to MK
on the other hand, he's been alone for centuries, and he's a bit rusty
cue emotionally repressed monkey panic
after he's done having his moment, he pulls himself together and decides that he's gonna do this right.
So! he starts asking MK about you a whole lot more often
things like what sort of flowers you like, your favorite fruit your favorite color, if you talk about him at all
he thinks he's being subtle
he's not
thankfully, MK can be a bit oblivious
it only takes seeing the great sage in your kitchen one evening, looking at you a lovesick look while you laugh at something he said for MK to finally piece it together
MK.exe has stopped working
he feels weird about it at first but ultimately gives his approval to Wukong and becomes his wingman
Sometimes a family is you, your turned superhuman son, and your thousands of years old celestial monkey husband
(before I begin, I simply have to mention that this reminds me of that one TikTok audio "come here you little jerk taste the back of my palm /but you ain't my daddy/ Nah but I'm doing yo mom")
this start is a 100 times rockier than Wukong's
You really don't like him for actively harming your son both mentally and physically
he's not very keen on you either, your mere presence alone makes it harder for him to manipulate MK
After the LBD incident, he tries to make up with you, for MK's sake
you're very hesitant, that is he apologizes for what he's done with the most genuine look you've ever seen on him.
reluctantly you give him a chance and find that he's actually a decent guy when he's not trying to kill your loved ones
you find his humor and sarcasm charming, and love it when he tells you stories with shadow puppets
he starts hanging around more often under the pretext that he's only doing it to please MK, but we all know that's not the only reason
he realized he had feelings for you when he was telling you a story and he glanced at you for a second only to see you with your attention focused solely on him with a soft smile on your pretty face
his heart skipped a beat and words got stuck in his throat
he quickly excused himself and teleported away, leaving you very confused
he rethinks his entire existence (aka emotionally repressed monkey panic 2, now with more edge!)
mentally adds up the pros and cons of getting attachedâą
you've been good to him thus far and he really likes MK so
congrats now you have a clingy emo monkey after you
he becomes way more physical and teases you way more often
has to hold back purrs and restrain himself from positively combusting when you return his affections
he may be smooth when he dishes them out but he can't handle being on the receiving end of things
MK doesn't catch on until he wins you over, and he finds out in the worst way possible
walking in on you two being affectionate with one another
he's a bit mentally scarred but he'll be fine, eventually
way more hesitant than he'd be with Wukong, but he comes around after you talk to him and he sees how happy Macaque makes you
he does tell the shadow demon that if he hurts you he better watch his back though
Macaque says he'd never dream to, but he gets the idea
Overall? all three of you can get used to this new family dynamic you've got going for yourselves
synopsis: sometimes it matters that you are his wife. PART 2
pairings: Capitano, Kaveh, Tighnari, Zhongli x fem!reader (separately)

Fast elegant fingers of a pianist run across the keys of black and white and the violins in the hands of other musicians are there to serve together with the chorus of beautiful voices, selected by Lady Columbina personally. The music infiltrates the souls of the nobles present, filling them with the sense of grandeur and glory, touching even their harsh unfeeling hearts.
The atmosphere of the gathering is gratifying, wouldâve even been endearing if not for the stately figures of the Harbingers standing on both sides of the throne, where the Tsaritsa would've been seated had she not decided to refrain from attending it altogether. She has more important matters to take care of, and nine of her most loyal servants can definitely fill in her place on that yearly event.
Sure, this year it is more important since the two Harbingers are missing and the seats stay vacant - it's been the talk of the nation. Who is going to be nominated? Can it be influenced? Will they claim the names today?
Is the mysterious Commander, whose arrival became the topic of multiple speculations, be the one? A fierce warrior many heard of, but almost none saw face to face. The man was believed to be as powerful as the 11th Harbinger or maybe even the 10th! Having an army and an establishment of his own on the farthest line of the Snezhnayan border, he still is under the command of Lord Capitano, which makes it even harder to fish any more information than what is already known to the public.
"I only heard about him. He and his troops are protecting our borders from the monster's invasion in the North."
"Ew, who would've wanted to live in the North! It's much harsher than all the Snezhnaya."
"Shush, the Commander is wealthy and respectful, you can bear some cold."
"What do you imply?"
"The Commander is unmarried, there is no way he isn't, not with a life like this. But it can always be changed, and the woman he takes as wife would be one of the luckiest ones!"
"You are right⊠Maybe he is actually handsome. Maybe he'd be even willing to buy a whole mansion for his promised one and not take her with him to that awful place. MaybeâŠ"
Maybe, maybe, maybe. It travels through the crowds like a storm in its wake, eventually reaching the Harbingers, who, for the first time after appearing and greeting the already arrived, stop resembling the statues. Eyes shift among the people and each other; some gazes hold interest, some - annoyance. Only Pantalone has an ever present smile on his face, fingers clasped in front of him and sapphire rings sparkle in the ballroom light.
"Looks like Capitano's estimated soldier caught everyone's attention. My, my, how curious and nosy the people can beâŠ"
"I understand the curiosity though," admits Childe, arms crossed to prevent laying even a finger on his blade, that is resting on his hip. "This person sounds like an interesting specimen⊠I've heard of his talents in both strategy and tactics, and it seems like his strength is a legend. I'd love to spar with him."
"Oh you, thinking only about fights, young man," Pulcinella disapprovingly shakes his head and raises his cane to point in the gingerhead's direction. "I highly doubt our guest will have time to spare, considering the period of time concerning the stay that was mentioned in the letter we received."
"And I believe the majority of that time would be spent with Il Capitano, isn't it right?" Columbina's soft voice must be drowning in the music, but everyone hears her loud and clear.
"..." The Harbinger stays silent and nothing can be read from his body language since he is the only one remaining still in his place, his huge looming figure resembling one of the full-set armor nobles like putting in their halls as a part of interior. Except this one isn't empty.
"So much potential to become my test subject, to be perfected... Yet lost to the lands of Northern regions," Dottore huffs in disappointment, his sharp teeth peaking when he clicks his tongue. "Say, Pierro, can't things be rearranged? I'd happily have our dear border protector as my underling."
The silence between the nine suddenly becomes thick. There is something indescribably tense in the air and only Childe can't understand why some of his colleagues seem to be more interested in how the Captain would react and not the 1st of the Harbingers..
"You know why this can't be rearranged, Dottore," the stare of an icy blue eye would pin everyone to the ground, destroying their will and order to obey, though doing little to scare the Doctor. "And it was favored by the Tsaritsa herself."
The finality of the short statement makes the scientist back down from the proposition he's been bringing up every time the topic touches the Commander, yet ending up the same way as always - with an ultimate rejection.
Three heavy thuds make everyone in the room fall silent. Many heads turn to look at the ceremonial staff hitting the floor the last time and staying still in the hand of a tall, thoroughly dressed man.
"The protector of the Northern border, the glorified and esteemed warrior of Her Majesty Tsaritsa, The Commander has arrived," the master's of ceremonies voice carries like a thunderclap, cutting off the quite leisurely music the orchestra was playing for the dances and entertainment.
The rustle of note sheets is fleeting and not a moment later the musicians straighten in their seats, taking a deep breath. Trumpets boom in a spacious room and make nobles shiver in surprise, some especially susceptible women even lean on their partners for support. The choir and the violins join the triumphant song the brass instruments sing, signaling that the time has come.
Everyone holds their breath as the tall heavy doors leading to the ballroom are being pulled open. Everyone has their gaze glued to a slowly growing gap. Everyone keeps their eyes wide open, afraid that even one blink can cost them missing the legendary sight.
Everyone gasps.
The tall figure enters, posture straight and shoulders squared, confidence evident in every step. Black satin clothes are adorned with golden chains and intricate patterns. The white military coat stayed resting on the shoulders - showing off the position, the closeness to the Harbingers. And then there is the face - a scar crossing the left brow, calm bored eyes, not sparing anyone a glance, which do not fit the other female features of your face.
Yes, the Commander happens to be a woman.
Stopping by the steps leading to the throne, you bow - not kneel, bow, - holding your open palm by the heart and respectfully closing your eyes. Music stops.
âGreetings, my lords. Let Tsaritsa bless you and your mission.â
âLet Tsaritsa bless you and your service to her,â Pierro says, raising his hand. âLift your head,â which you do, looking him right in the eyes, yet still holding your hand by the chest. âThere is time for duties and there is time for entertainment. And tonight, given your rare visits to the capital, I suggest you enjoy the latter.â
âMuch obliged, Lord Pierro.â
And with a wave of the older manâs hand, the orchestra starts a new composition, waking up the ones who were in a daze, reminding others they are here for drama.
And the first one to take action is the 11th Harbinger.
âCommander, Sir- I mean, Lady?â The gingerhead is the closest to you out of all his colleagues, having only to descend a few steps to be on your level. âIâve heard a lot about you, many admirable things. How do you look at sparring?â
âRight in the middle of a ballroom? Quite positively, young man,â your lips twist in a half-smirk, baring a sharp pearly canine. âBut I believe the nobles have already had enough shock to take and rumors to create. Maybe another time. Havenât seen you before though. Are you new?â
âTartaglia, the Eleventh Harbinger, Lady Commander.â
âMaâam would be enough,â you click your tongue, glancing behind and noticing how slowly, but surely some of the aristocrats are inching towards you, clearly interested in conversation, Well, you are not. âOn second thought, starting a duel right now and here doesnât sound like a bad ideaâŠâ
âIâve always known you are quite insane,â Arlechino butts her way in the conversation, giving you only a small nod as a greeting. You simply glance at her.
âFor years Iâve been hearing of my insanity, think of something new,â
âHow about, âthe one who knows no limitsâ?â Pantaloneâs smile is as dazzling as itâs fake and sometimes your hands are itching to strangle the man. Maybe even go all the way out and bite his head off. Literally.
âThe only ones who know no limits are the wind and the stupidity. Iâm neither. Who I am though,â your gaze travels higher, to the steps closest to the Tsaritsaâs throne, to there Pierro and the first three Harbingers are standing, âis a wife. And Iâd like to have a dance with my husband.â
Not many heard your words, but the ones who did, gasp loudly, staring at you with wide eyes. Which get even wider when Il Capitano, a seemingly motionless statue before, turns in his place and, without a pause, steadily descends to you. Now, as you are standing so closely it becomes evident how obviously your outfits match. The chains, the patterns, even the precious stones - everything. Perhaps it is terrifyingly cute. Perhaps it's cutely terrifying.
âHusband,â your smile again, offering him your hand, which he immediately envelopes in his big clawed one.
âWife,â is the first word the big figure rumbles for the evening, the void of its helmet staring at you. And thatâs all you speak to each other, hearing the beginning of another melody and turning to join the dancing pairs.
â...What was that?â Childe voices whatâs been plaguing the minds of the attendees. âFirst the Commander appears to be a woman, and now she is married to the Lord Il Capitano?â He glances at Pulcinella, who joins his side and decides to watch the pair that caused a commotion have their fun. âDo they not use their names?â
âThey find no sense in them,â the Rooster answers just the last question. âAnd,â he lowers his voice and the ginger has to bend down to hear the next words, âI didnât tell you that, but the Captain really loves calling her his wife. So be quite cautious while seeking a fight with her. You might end up impaled. By either of them.â
With a soft smile you watch a group of children merrily leaving their classroom, interrupting each other in attempts to tell everyone how exciting the lesson was. They do not forget to grin and wave at you, passing by, and you return the sentiment, contently observing their happy faces and sparkly eyes.
Every time this happens, a strange sense of fulfillment overtakes you - supporting and sponsoring Kaveh was one of the best decisions youâve ever made. The greatest architect of nowadays is offering his guidance to the young generation, teaching them everything about beauty and practicality, helping them to develop their own creative vision, and at the same time boosting the confidence of kids of all ages. And you couldnât be prouder of him.
Him, who meticulously prepares for every single lesson. Him, who is oh-so-gentle with his words and precise in his speech. Him, who teaches both Sumeru citizens and people coming from abroad. Him, who is as passionate about it, as he is about his designing job, telling you every single detail of how the lessons went on your way home or over the dinner. Him, who is happy and who makes you happy too with that fact alone.
When the last kid leaves, marking the ending of the final class for today, you glance at the clock. Now Mister Meticulousness will need half an hour to tidy up the classroom and put all the tools away. Tomorrow is free from classes at his (he always corrects your as in the both of you) school, so you can collect your stuff as well - after all, being the manager of this establishment and Kaveh specifically requires your presence. You can be strict and unyielding whenever he canât and this partnership proves to be successful every day.
Just as you are writing down some financial staff, there is a soft knock on the doorframe. Immediately lifting your eyes you hum, observing a very good-looking woman and a boy, shyly holding onto her hand.
âHello, how can I help you?â With a quill laid on top of your accounting book, you stand and round the table, offering the two to step closer.
âAh, hello, missâŠâ eyes with long, pretty lashes flit to the name tag attached to your clothes, â...Y/n. This is master Kavehâs artistic school, am I correct?â
âYes, you are. Are you here to sign your boy up for a class?â You offer her son a sweet smile and he answers you with a small lift of his lips.
âMhm. You see, he is a big fan of master Kaveh and his works - can study the pictures of his designs taken by Kamera day and night.â
At that, the boy lowers his gaze and blushes a little, digging a hole in the ground with the tip of his shoe.
âOh, really?â A gasp that escapes your chest is one of excitement. âThatâs marvelous! I am sure your hopefully soon-to-be-teacher will be very interested in hearing your opinion of his works, young connoisseur,â he giggles, lifting his eyes at you again, and there you see undisguised delight. âOh, but my bad, I didnât ask your namesâŠâ
The womanâs lips bare two rows of perfectly white teeth as she smiles at you, introducing herself and her son.
âWe are from Fontaine actually. But my parents wanted to spend some indefinite period of time in Sumeru for their health and we decided to join them. So while we are here, I thought Iâd make my sonâs dream come true.â
âThatâs so nice of you,â you canât help but admire her a little for that. âI can tell you first a little about our school, youâll ask all the questions you need to, and then Iâll show you around. Kaveh should be done with cleaning by then, so thereâs a big chance youâll even talk to him personally.â
âReally!?â Thatâs the first time throughout your entire interaction when the boy opens his mouth and actually makes a sound. âMaster Kaveh is here right now?â
âHe is. But canât promise a long conversation - there are still blueprints waiting for him back at home.
âAh, right⊠He is the great architect after all,â the woman hums, staring to the side as if in thought. âBetween the commissions he takes and this school he must be making good money. Not to mention so handsomeâŠâ
Oh⊠What a familiar tone, what a familiar look in those eyes. Suddenly that ounce of respect you felt for her disappears.
âMoney is irrelevant to him as long as he reaches his goal,â is your restrained response.Â
âAh, of course! Handsome, sweet, kind, good with kids and is not a snob. Sweety, you ought to charm him for me!â She pinches her sonâs cheek. âImagine Master Kaveh as your daddy!â
Oh Archons, again?
There is absolutely no doubt that the light of Kshahrewar is not only well-known and popular among kids, but is thirsted after by women. In a half of a year your school has been existing, there were numerous times when moms of little students made comments alike or some single females trying to schedule private sessions with the architect. What a sagacious decision it was to make group studying only, it saves you some drama, once the legal document is shown. Though there are exceptionally persistent examplesâŠ
But this time you pity the kid a little, because he genuinely seems to admire Kaveh. And his next words make you internally cheer for the little guy.
âMaster Kaveh as my dad? But mom, I have a dad already,â the boy pouts, rubbing at the pinched cheek. You notice a red mark and two little crescent moons that her nails left on a tender skin. âI love him and donât need another one.â
âSweety, you just donât understand how great it would be to have such a dad! Just trust my word-â
âAhem, Madame, I kindly ask you to deal with your family affairs once you are out of here. As for the school - I am open for discussion.â
The displeased way she glances at you doesnât go unnoticed, but you do not show it anyhow, calmly staring back at her, while your hand reaches up to your chest. As if finally remembering her initial reason for coming here with her son, the woman sighs and puts a palm on the boyâs shoulder.
âOf course, miss- Iâm sorry I forgot your nameâŠâ And her eyes flit to the name tag again.
Momentarily the woman squints from the light reflecting on the metal, and when she blinks the bright spots away, there is a beautiful golden ring on your hand. The hand that is holding the flipped tiny plate with just two words engraved in it.
"Kaveh's wife"
With widened eyes she stares back at your sweetly polite smile. Not saying a word as if letting the notion sink in, you walk to the wall. Grabbing the backs of two chairs you drag them to your table so they could sit, and take your rightful place in front of them.Â
âIf you are here for something aside from or instead of signing your son up for classes, I believe my name should be irrelevant to you. My status though,â you knock a nail twice on the badge, âmust. So⊠what are you here for, Madame?â
The boy climbs onto his chair right away, while his mother tarries a little, still shocked by the revealed fact and your suddenly changed demeanor. She needs a couple more seconds to compose herself, but eventually she too sits down.
Despite what happened earlier, your conversation proves to be fruitful and fifteen minutes later you are showing around the school, sharing some additional information and answering every single of the kidâs questions.Â
When in the last room you find your husband, closing Mehrak and looking ready to leave, the boy lets out a gasp. The sound attracts the manâs attention, and he turns to the three of you with a soft smile.
âOh, hello there, little guy!â The blond waves at him, breaking the blissful stupor of a child that immediately turns red and hides behind his mother. Surprised, Kaveh looks at you for explanation but, instead, takes notice of your nameâs replacement. Oh wow, this again. What was the last time you did that? Two weeks ago?
âAh, Master Kaveh!â The woman charmingly smiles, batting her lashes at him, which wouldâve made you cringe had it never happened before. âYou see, my son-â
âPardon me, Madame, give me a moment,â the male softly interrupts her and reaches for a similar metal plate on his chest with his own name to flip it. Itâs almost comical how sour the temptressâs face got in a second.
And there is what for. Now two words are proudly matching yours, engraved in an equally beautiful cursive to remind the world who the two of you become once stripped of your names.
Just his âY/nâs husbandâ to your âKavehâs wifeâ.
And like that one more kid takes part in your lovely school and one suitor less is after one of its founders.
With each passing day of your teamâs research in the desert you found it harder and harder to control yourself. Some days you were even on the verge of clawing and biting, tail and ears twitching in annoyance and pupils turning into wild slits, making your hybrid nature more obvious.
Was it because of the research? No, it couldnât be farther - your colleagues have been making so much progress, heeding your advice and following your lead. Was it the location perhaps? A little, but you learnt how to deal with heat and dryness. Was the process taking too much time? On the contrary, you are on your way home already, having finished the job 4 days earlier than you estimated in the beginning.
Then what on earth could possibly trigger you like this?
WellâŠ
âHey, forest foxy, want me to catch the Consecrated Flying Serpent for you?â
Ah yes, him.
Never again will you trust the higher ups at the Akademiya to sponsor your team with the bodyguards. Out of every possible candidate, your Herbad-titled colleague concluded that hiring five descendants of Valuka Shuna would be a marvelous idea.Â
âThey are the desert kind - theyâll be good guides.â âLook how much stronger they are, theyâll definitely protect all of you.â âThey are of the same kind as you, Y/n. Donât you think itâll be easier for you, as the leader, to have someone akin with you?â
No, it absolutely would not!
Desert fennec hybrids are different from the forest ones - and itâs not even the case of your green and their sandy brown fur or their more brutal physique against your more delicate one. Itâs their character and world perception. Youâll never call them barbarians, but they really developed more of the animal nature than your kind did.
And from day one it was a pain in the butt.Â
One of your five new bodyguards was clearly the leader - he was bigger and broodier, with more scars littering his body, and his whole stance was screaming of a higher position. When you were introduced for the first time, something lit up in his grayish eyes, which were looking you over appreciatively. You ignored that, more focused on the discussion of the upcoming expedition and making sure the five were aware of what was required of them.
Luckily they were, and, admittedly, they did fulfill their task meticulously, proving to be great help. If only one of them wasnât so diligent.
You lost count of how many times the leader tried to get into your personal space and you had to move away. Of the numerous invitations to hunt together. Of the endless displays of his strength and abilities. Of the many conversations you didnât even try to eavesdrop on (they talked pretty loudly) around the topic of when will your shell be cracked and youâd accept the maleâs courting attempts.
The answer was obvious, but he just never got it. Even when you called him for a serious conversation on the turning-into-an-issue matter.
âWith all respect I must ask you to stop with whatever youâve been doing to woo me. I have a husband.â
You still remember how he blinked at you dumbly, clear lack of understanding written on the sun-kissed face.
â...and?â
âThe heck do you mean âandâ?â
âWell, you donât have a mate?â
It was your turn to stare at him speechless, ear twitching and tail curling closer to your legs. It was getting worse than just ridiculous.
âIf we are speaking in such terms, then my husband is my mate. So, please-â
You nearly gasped when the male immediately leant closely, violating your personal space and practically stuffing his nose against your neck. Shocked by such lack of shame, you lost the ability to talk or move for a moment, gaping at him sniffing around and humming upon the discovery.
âYou donât wear anyoneâs smell on you.â
You were not proud of yourself at that moment, but you absolutely lost it. Sharpened claws dug into his chest and with an angry snarl you pushed him back.
âGet away from me!â
You mustâve been a sight - canines bared and fingers twitching, ready to attack; fur standing on both your ears and tail, signaling your distress and eyes slitted in pure rage while directed at the man in front of you. The worst part? The idiot seemed to like it even more.
âWhat me and my partner do must be of no concern to you. I told you ânoâ and I mean it.â
But bold of you was to assume heâd stop. Oh no, itâs gotten worse. Now he was actively calling you a âforest foxyâ, absolutely abandoning your name and even trying to scent you. It was suffocating - the desert aridity was lighter in comparison to the male hybridâs pheromones.Â
Never in all your academic practice have you wanted to return home so badly.
Fortunately, your colleagues quickly caught on to what was going on and always helped you to escape the unwanted interactions. Plus they were equally as mad as you were, because his individual scent irritated their human noses - and that was the main reason why you and Tighnari, both spending a lot of time around other people, did not practice it. Partly, you are sure, this whole situation was the reason for your earlier return - and you were grateful for their understanding.
However, your stubborn suitor did not dream of giving up. Killed desert animals were still offered to you, stories of his legendary battles with monsters were told for the hundredth time (even though no one was interested in listening at that point) and attempts to lure you with the musky smell once again made. Archons, and the green-furred fennec girls from your teens used to dream of that.
Maybe Lesser Lord Kusanali would be merciful and youâll meet your husband somewhere on your way?
âHerbad Y/n!â
âŠwow, that was quick. Not Tighnari, but incredibly welcome too.
âCollei!â For the first time in days there is a reason for your soft smile. Which the young girl mirrors, waving at you from not so far away. You notice a couple more of the Forest Rangers at her side, and that sight alone makes you finally exhale in relief. You are so close to being home.
âMaster is here too! Want me to get him?â
Oh, Dendro Archon, thank you.
âIâd really appreciate it, dear!â With a quick nod the green-haired apprentice disappears in the bushes, and you turn back to the scholars of your group. Itâs time to abuse your power a little. âWe are almost at the Devadaha Pool. Since all of you live in Sumeru City I hope youâll excuse me for staying behind. As for you five,â your gaze moves to the bodyguards and itâs so hard not to rejoice - soon theyâll be just a memory, âI ask you to accompany the rest of my team to the Akademiya. Then you can consider your job done and be free. Keep the payment for the last three days that didnât happen - think of it as a bonus for a good job.â
All but one eagerly nod and bid you farewell with wishes of getting home safely. And frankly speaking? You couldnât care less for that one when you spot familiar and oh so dear big pointy ears with an intricate golden earring adorning one of them.
âTighnari!â You didnât want to sound so desperate, you really didnât. But when those forest-like lovely eyes look in your direction, it becomes clear to you - the yearning has gotten unbearable.
âY/nâŠâ His smile is dazzling and the way his body immediately pushes to walk to you almost makes the memories of the last weeksâ events go away.
The key word - almost.
Someone grabs your elbow when you want to meet him halfway. Oh right, you already forgot about him.
âLet me go, you, imbecile!â And again you have to snarl and be rude, ripping your arm out of the strong hold and quickly darting into your husbandâs embrace. The natural smell of the leaves, the flowers, the sweet and bitter concoctions he makes in his home laboratory, comfort you and your whole body goes nearly limp in his hold. Itâs been weeks and you are tired of fighting with the brick wall - this time you want your lover to handle it for you.
âY/n, my lotus, are you alright?â Gentle fingers comb through your hair and scratch at the base of your ears - a whole ass adult, that you are, wants to tear up. But you can only shake your head a no. âHas this man been bothering you?â This time itâs a yes. âI got you, dear.â
âSo,â the browny green eyes sharpen upon staring at the cause of your current state, when it starts speaking, âyou are that âhusbandâ the foxy has been talking about? I thought youâd be stronger. Or at least taller. Now I see that I was right and you really canât be her mate.â
âOh but I am. Not that we have to prove anything to a stranger. Y/n,â he carefully pries your face from his shoulder, caressing your cheek with a beanie pad, âletâs go home. You must be so-so tired.â
âI am, ânari. I am exhaus-â
âThereâs no smell of you on her and vice versa,â the desert descendent of the Valuka Shuna seems to not be planning to stop. âHer neck is not marked. You let her wander by herself for weeks? And you keep calling her by the name. Her name should've stopped mattering once she became your mate!â
The hand around your waist tenses and you can feel the claws threatening to tear through the gloves he always wears. You donât need to look at the face of your lover to know how pissed he is. And if Tighnari decides to attack him and tear his tongue out? You will not stop him.
âI am going to say it once and only once. She is not just a mate, she is my wife, by the Sumeru law and by the blessing of the Dendro Archon. And this fact must matter to you more than the case of her name. So fuck off and leave my wife alone. And if you donât get it in a civil way - this woman is taken. And this territory is mine.â
With that, the Forest Watcher effortlessly lifts you in his arms and, holding you as if a precious bride, turns around to leave. You havenât looked back once.
âYou canât imagine how much I missed being called your wife,â you quietly confess, wrapping your arms around his neck. âEspecially after he didnât listen when I said that I am.â
Tighnari hums sympathetically, leaning close to rub his nose against yours.
âWill it be okay then if today I address you as my wife only? When we join the other rangers, I mean.âÂ
â...if you think I will be embarrassed - make it a whole week.â
With a soft chuckle your husband plants a kiss on your lips, sealing the deal and promising you tranquil days at last.
âAs you wish, wife.â
"...and so Rex Lapis takes the form of a dragon, a majestic creature he was born as - the one of whom the fair maiden would never be scared of. Lady Guizhong's robes flutter in the tender wind traveling among the mountain peaks and caressing the earthly scales of the God's enormous body. His eyes, shiny as gold, gaze at her with an unfamiliar softness as she holds a gentle flower - a delicate gift from her lover, the one that proves that under all that armor is a stone heart capable of love. Heart that is beating for her."
To loud applause the Iron Tongue Tian bows his head, drawing the legend of the gods in love to its end. You cannot bring yourself to clap even politely, both hands on your lap, hidden under the table, twitching when a man beside you lets his gloved palms meet each other a couple of times.
Itâs the second time you had to sit and endure the baloney from the very beginning to the very end, not to count all those times you overheard it in passing. From the moment you settled in the Liyue Harbor together with your husband, to live the rest of your incredibly long lives together among the humans, you've been painfully aware of their interpretation of Rex Lapis and his relationship with other immortal beings. Before that you rarely accompanied him during the walks, busy with helping Yakshas and other adepti protect the said humans to grant them a peaceful life - as immortal guardians grew fewer, every single one counted.
Never have you ever imagined that knowing so little of the citizensâ folklore would backfire so hard. It seems that people got somewhat bored listening to the stories of Liyue and Rex Lapis, no matter how many interpretations existed. Literature became more diverse in genres and romantic novels were on top of the list, so street narrators started losing their audience little by little. Before it could grow into something more drastic the new side of history was presented to the public - stories about love among immortals appeared and its freshness and uniqueness caught peopleâs attention immediately.
In their searches for new material, speakers dug through hundreds of volumes. The main interest was the Lord of Geo, of course. If you have a story of a presumably stone-hearted creature ever having fallen in love with someone - thatâs pure gold! But who could you present as a love interest of the Archon? It must be someone very close to him and, obviously, no one is more well-known for that than the deceased Archon of Dust.
You sigh, reaching for your cup and declining Madam Pingâs offer to pour you some more tea - for an unclear reason the fellow adeptus joined you two tonight. You have thousands of years of life behind your existence, a soul hardened by constant battles, and mannerism as polished as a jade statue, yet for a moment you feel concerned that the woman would notice a pang of hurt in the smallest of your features.
Zhongli definitely noticed the first time. It was meant to be a date night - simple, but sweet, with the evening lights, delightful aroma of the finest tea and the tales pouring from skilled tongues reflecting the atmosphere of what your nation really is. However, the luck of the land of trades wasnât on your side, as someone requested the âGuili legendâ as they called it. At first you were confused. Then in disbelief, almost turning to look at your mate, with whom you were bonded long before he became allies with the ash-haired woman. In the end you felt something you thought was beyond you - bitterness.
When you left the restaurant, slowly walking back to your house, Zhongliâs fingers gently touched your elbow, asking for your attention.
âDoes it bother you that much, my love?â
Bother you? Well⊠It does feel insulting when someone speaks of your husband having been in love with someone else, but mortals canât possibly know the truth for many reasons.
âI canât say it doesnât,â you admitted calmly, stopping and turning fully to him. He did the same, gazing at you with a hint of worry in those golden eyes you loved so much. The ones, you knew, always looked only at you. âBut it canât be helped, right? There was a reason and mutual agreement why you, as Rex Lapis, made our union unknown to your people, and now, since you are âdeadâ? There is no one to tell our story. Donât worry though,â you put a hand on top of his and smiled, when his other one was laid on top of yours in a gesture of comfort. âI can deal with it. I know you love going to the storytellerâs performances. Iâll just try to ignore what they say about you and Lady Guizhong.â
Sometimes Zhongli thinks he does not deserve you. Ever so patient and understanding, you always had your husband's best interest at heart. Marriage, however, in its basis is a form of a contract, and a good contract is all about both sides being equal in everything. And if you must know one thing about Rex Lapis - he never makes bad contracts.
When the audience calms down, the man decides to make his presence and intentions clear by raising a hand. From the corner of his eye he notices you slightly turning your head to glance at him, and he catches a glimpse of puzzlement in your gaze. He can't help but think how adorable you are, even if you deny it again and again, claiming that nothing can be adorable about a several millennia-old warrior. Maybe not, but his wife definitely is, and he thinks with a primordial pride igniting in his chest, that mating with you was the best decision his past self had ever made.
Reaching under the table he rests his free hand on top of yours, gently squeezing it in reassurance, offering you the warmth of himself, seeping through his glove. Just as your shoulders relax to his delight, the raised hand adorned with rings is finally noticed.
"Ah, Mr Zhongli! Such an honor to see a regular, especially someone as wise as yourself!" Iron Tongue Tian beams with a wide smile, closing his fan and focusing his full attention on the history connoisseur. "I doubt you have questions, given your vast knowledge, and I can't wait to hear what else you can add to this already heart-felt story."
You force your lips not to twitch, hiding behind the tea cup again. Suddenly it tastes bitter. But another squeeze your husband gives your hand doesn't let you dwell on it too much.
"You are correct, I do have some knowledge to offer. However, it might disappoint you, as it will completely destroy the story of the Geo Archon and the Archon of Dust."
The whispers ran through the crowd like a powerful wave, and you can see confusion written over every single face. But also, there is intrigue.
"I took it upon myself,â Zhongli however continues, âto invite Madame Ping to back up my story, as she was the witness to it," the elder woman - a well-known Adeptus that doesn't hide her existence among mortals - nods with a soft smile.
"I read this in legends a long time ago, but remembered only when the 'Guili legend' became popular. Rex Lapis indeed had a lover, however it was not Lady Guizhong," the gasps are almost deafening. Just as your quickened heartbeat.
And for the next hour the man by your side and the elderly-looking woman that joined you tonight proceed to tell the story of the adeptus, who was the first and only to ever bring the Geo Archon to his knees, to be worshiped like a goddess by his eyes, by his words, by his very heart. Of a warrior, whose fierce eyes and valiant nature made a dragon in Rex Lapis roar in delight. Of the woman, who entranced him with her beauty, caring soul and motherly attention directed to other adepti - Madame Ping adds with a laugh of how the two created a parent-like dynamic even before they became official (at that you find it so hard not to turn bashful).
They tell the legend of the silk flowers - the ones you might see everywhere in the vast lands of Liyue. How the Geo Archon personally asked the Dendro Archon for guidance to cultivate the tenderest of flowers, how he taught his people to make the delicate fabric out of it, but even then it couldnât compare to the skin of his immortal mate.
They tell stories of how annoyed she was when the god turned into a dragon to fall asleep somewhere in the depths of the earth for years without telling her prior, and how he returned with the purest stones and metals and with his own hands forged the pair of matrimonial rings (yes, the ones wrapped around your fingers to this day).
Madame Ping fondly speaks of all those thousands of years of protection the said adeptus spent to make sure that her godly spouseâs people were safe and maybe just a tiny sliver of pride rushes through your heart at the public acknowledgement.
âBut she wished not to be known,â the woman sighs and you know she glances at you reproachfully. Well-deserved, given the circumstances you are in right now. âThus itâs not much of a surprise people made a mistake like that. Besides, you wonât find much information in written sources about her either way.â
 âBut she must have a name at least!â Someone from the fairly grown crowd exclaims.
âThat she does,â Zhongli nods, lacing his fingers with yours under the table, lips tugging in a calm smile, when you squeeze his hand in return. âThough I am afraid it would be pointless to try and find out now - we wouldnât want to disturb her mourning the departure of her husband, would we? After all, they mustâve loved each other so much.â
âBut how can you be so sure?â
âBecause,â golden eyes are on you, catching yours, pulling you in, whispering for your soul and heart to get lost in them, âI can understand how this love was born and got to bloom. My wife showed me that.â
Pride Month Special- How Yandere Parents React To You Coming Out
a/n: happy pride month everyone!
tw: coming out, implied/mentioned homophobia
Gojo- This giant absolute menace of a man I swear to god, you donât have to worry about him being supportive or anything like that, no. What you have to worry about is how over the top he goes. Manâs organizing parades, making banners, literally everything. It doesnât matter how many times you beg him to stop because heâs embarrassing you, youâre his baby and heâll be damned if he doesnât show his unconditional support and love. Heâs definitely telling everyone too, if youâre out that is, just wonât shut the hell up. Nanami cannot count the amount of times Gojo has gushed about you and how proud he is of you. Of course youâre dying of embarrassment in the corner, but heâs doing this all out of love for you.
Sukuna- Heâs definitely a little confused. Not in a bad way or anything, he just doesnât understand immediately. Youâll have to take the time to explain it to him but once he gets it heâll be so supportive, but more subtle about it. He wonât be throwing over the top parades or anything like that, but he will 500% find a way to mention in it in all his conversations. Like heâll be doing curse king shit or something and then one of his vassals will start talking about the most irrelevant topic in regards to your sexuality. But those that stop Sukuna from worming in how his precious child is queer and how amazing they are? Nope! Heâll talk about it for hours then make it seem like the vassal has committed some sort of deadly crime when they try to change the conversation back to the original topic. Itâs even better if he finds out with reader whoâs reincarnated into Yujiâs older sibling because theyâre in their twenties and have been out for a couple of years now, so itâs not a big thing and probably comes up in casual conversation. Sukunaâs gonna rupture poor Yujiâs eardrum because he yelled so loud. He was utterly shocked, he was fine with your identity, but how could you not tell him?? And your poor brother is gonna have to deal with all of Sukunaâs tantrums about you not telling him whenever you walk into the room. Eventually he mellows out though, heâll deal with your lie by omission once he has you in his grasp again.
Oberyn Martell + Ellaria Sand- Original bi disaster couple, no one can convince me otherwise. Anyways both are pretty chill with it, I mean they probably knew already, theyâre very supportive of course! Your siblings, the sand snakes, are too. Dorne is a very free and modern country in terms of opinions, not to mention youâre a child of a prince so you enjoy a lot more freedom to express yourself than others. And if someone does have a problem with, they best keep it to themselves or else theyâll have a furious red viper and his equally enraged sand snakes after them.
Levi Ackerman- Heâs quite mild about it, to be honest. Heâs not unsupportive, just quite about it. Not out of shame but just that heâs generally closed-off. Also, he believes that you should be able to share your identity based on your own terms. Heâs very happy that you felt comfortable enough to share it with him though. He definitely made you tea when you came out too. Of course if he hears anything about anyone having a problem with it, well letâs just say that you will be the least of their problems from then on.
Tengen + His Wives- Theyâre all so happy! Especially since you trusted them enough to tell them. Tengen definitely brags about his flamboyant kid and how spectacular they are. He buys you and himself a ton of pride shit, I donât care that demon slayer takes place in the Taishou period, this man will make custom pride merch, just for you. Suma cries as per usual, I headcanon all of them as queer but Suma is canonically bi! So, I imagine her crying tears of happiness and joy that youâre like her in a way and that she understands. Makio is aggressively supportive, like shove it down your throat kind of supportive but supportive nonetheless. Hinatsuru is pretty calm about it, she just wants you to know that she loves you unconditionally.
Muzan- Heâs kind of like Sukuna in a way, as in heâs confused. Unlike Sukuna he probably understands what it means heâs mostly confused on how he didnât know immediately. He is supportive though! And if his confusion hurts you, heâll immediately apologize. Youâre his sweet child, no matter how old you really are, so heâll support and love you regardless of anything. After heâs done apologizing and you forgive him, you can guilt him into doing pretty much anything for you, which you probably could do just with a hug and puppy dog eyes! If thereâs one thing Muzan wonât tolerate, itâs people slighting you, so you can guarantee that you wonât be receiving anything less than the highest praises from everyone.
Light Yagami + Misa Amane- Theyâre both completely supportive of you, though they show it in different ways. Misa is over the top enthusiastic about it. She starts doing LGBTQ+ campaigns, wearing pride merch, signing brand deals promoting it, basically everything and anything she can to prove she is the greatest ally in the entire world, all for you. Light is subtler in his approach. Heâs happy thar youâre happy and thatâs pretty much it. Heâll do little things to support you, such as boycott homophobic brands and celebrities, wear small pride pins and all that. Either way, they both support you unconditionally. And if anyone says anything to you, you can bet their getting the most painful and humiliating death possible.
Erasermic- Oh! Theyâve been expecting this forever! Aizawa has probably known since the start and subtlety let Hizashi in on it, who was extremely excited. They support you and make sure to reassure you about that every day. Theyâre like Light and Misa in the aspect that Aizawa is very calm regarding your identity while Hizashi supports you with over the top gestures. You know they love you though, and are grateful for them.

I work at a movie theater.
And personally? To be in the tickets booth, and see young girls, teenagers, adult women, coming in to see Barbie,
the most highlighter pink outfits, some of them coming in with the dolls theyâre dressed as, laughing to each other, cheering for each other,
to see the men theyâre coming to see it with, dressed in pink, cheering them on, taking their pictures with smiles and cheers in the lobby at the photo op
touches something so deep in me
I canât say any nuances of the movie that havenât already been said, but like, fuck man, love is so deep and so kind and to be able to see glimpses of it from behind my little ticket desk makes me a little less nihilistic.
