Flame & Fury

hey everyone.

I just wanted to apologize for not posting anything lately. Things have been pretty rough.

unfortunately, my laptop died on me, and I also lost someone close to me recently…It's been a real struggle, especially since money's been tight. I'm doing my best to sort everything out, and with the help of a friend, I hope to have a new laptop soon. It might take me a week or so, but I'll be back as soon as possible.

I'm sorry for not updating you all earlier. I wasn't feeling too great mentally, but your support means the world to me. Thank you so much.

You know...your really careful of hiding soul collector makes me curious on what you have in store for this IF👀. Also if everyday mc gives Ros a kiss in the cheek what if one day mc forgets about it how would the ros react about that?

I'm evil just like that. >:)

Aurelian: Ah, yes, we all know Aurelian is a spoiled child who craves attention and adoration like a cat craves tuna. If MC forgets to give him a kiss on the cheek, he'll likely pout, sulk, and sigh so loudly you'd think there was a hurricane outside. Meanwhile, MC may be confused by Aurelian's behavior ("what's up with him?" 🤨) but they will eventually realize what's going on and sneak around him to give him a quick peck on the cheek, even if he's crossing his arms and facing away from them.

Or, MC could choose to playfully tease Aurelian, which may lead to him becoming more upset and storming out of the room in a huff, while pouting. MC: snickering. >:)

Aurelian:

Elara: Elara will notice the absence of the kiss immediately. Her hand will go to her cheek, and she will look around in confusion. She will start thinking 'What happened? Are they okay?' and she will start pacing around the room.

And then, MC will burst into the room, with a sheepish expression on their face, hurrying over to her side. "I'm so sorry Elara." ( 😰)

She will smile warmly, taking MC's hand in hers. MC will sigh with relief, and will they lean in and give a soft kiss on her cheek, lingering for a moment longer than usual. Elara:

Kazuo: Kazuo and MC were in the middle of their training session, with sweat dripping down their forehead when they took a break. Kazuo being a sweet and understanding person, wouldn't mind if MC forget their daily kiss (such a sweet boi), however, as MC realized, they froze, feeling guilty for forgetting such an important part of their routine.

Noticing the hesitation on MC's face, Kazuo furrowed his brow and asked in concern. "Is something wrong?"

MC cleared their throat, embarrassed as they admitted, "Uh, I, forgot the kiss."

Kazuo chuckled and shook his head fondly, walking closer to MC and signaling to his cheek. MC leaned in and gave him a gentle kiss, feeling a surge of happiness when Kazuo's face lit up with a smile.

Kazuo:

Aiden/Ava: A would notice the absence of the kiss right away, I mean they get up every morning excited for it.

"MC" they whined (I can't with them 🥺), tugging on their sleeve. "Why didn't you give me my kiss?"

MC's heart melted at the sight of A's adorable pout. They would lean in and give A a soft kiss on the cheek, causing A's face to lit up with joy. But that wouldn't be enough for them. A would follow MC around like a lost puppy, demanding more kisses and snuggles, unwilling to let them out of their sight.

A demanding snuggles:

SC: SC eyes narrowed mischievously, and they looked around, a sly grin spreading across their face. "What's wrong?" their voice is laced with amusement. "Did you forget something, MC?"

MC froze, feeling a sense of dread was over them. They knew how sneaky SC could be, "No?..." they tried to sound oblivious.

SC was amused, they followed MC around, taunting them with snarky comments and snickering.

"Did you forget about me, MC?" their voice dripping with sarcasm. "I'm hurt. You wound me deeply."

MC rolled their eyes, they leaned in and gave them a quick kiss on the cheek, feeling a twinge of guilt for forgetting.

SC's eyes sparkled with mischief, and they reached out to grab MC's hand. "Don't worry, MC," their voice low and seductive. "I'll let you make it up to me later."

SC:

I haven't slept since yesterday, and now when I want to go to sleep, my brain is saying no, and to top it off, my cat got the zoomies...

The poll didn't really help with you being conflicted 💀💀50 50 split. Is a thing where wherever u release the prologe that is where u will release everything else?

I know!! 😂

But thankfully, I find a solution, kind of. The prologue will be out on dashingdon and the rest will be on twine!

How would the RO's react when they realize they fall in love with Mc?

Also I wanted to ask if you were okay with nsfw ask? So that I know that wether or not your comfortable with it and if not then it's already!👍

Hey anon, sorry for the late reply. I just wanted to announce all the ROs so I can answer your ask fully! ;)

How would the ROs react when they realize they have fallen in love with the MC?

Aurelian: At first, he may feel a sense of confusion and surprise at his own emotions. As someone who has always been focused on ambitions and goals, the idea of being in love is foreign and confusing to him.

Furthermore, Aurelian's possessiveness may lead him to struggle with his feelings towards MC. He may see them as a possession to be claimed rather than a person with their own desires. This could lead to him becoming controlling and demanding more time with the MC.

When Aurelian comes to terms with his feelings for the MC, he would gift them everyday items that they love or even things he heard them say they wanted, for example, "Hmm, I'm craving strawberries." The next day? The MC's room is filled with boxes of strawberries and the garden of the castle is filled with them. He would use words of admiration day and night.

Elara: As someone who has always placed a strong emphasis on knowledge and education, she may initially try to rationalize or analyze her feelings, attempting to understand the reasons behind her attraction. However, as she spends more time with MC, she becomes increasingly drawn to them and comes to terms with her feelings.

Elara would think about the MC frequently, even when they are not in the same room. She would daydream about their conversations or interactions. Elara would get very nervous and flustered around them; she may stumble over her words or blush when they speak to her, or feel butterflies in her stomach when they are near.

Kazuo: Given his past experiences, Kazuo would struggle with feelings of insecurity or self-doubt. He may worry that his feelings for the MC are not reciprocated, or that his identity as a lycan makes him unworthy of love. This could cause him to become withdrawn or distant around the MC. At the same time, Kazuo feels a deep sense of admiration towards the MC, viewing them as a source of hope and inspiration in his life. He would be overprotective and supportive, going to great lengths to ensure their safety.

Aiden/Ava: Their feelings would lead them to feelings of uncertainty or insecurity as they try to navigate their growing emotions for MC. They may feel a sense of longing or desire to be closer to MC. They would see MC as a source of comfort in an otherwise chaotic and unpredictable world. They may go out of their way to help or support them, even if it means putting their own needs or responsibilities aside. They would offer to assist the MC with tasks or listen to their problems, telling them that they will always be there for them no matter what.

And yes, I'm okay with nsfw questions. However, I will list the things I'm uncomfortable with on the pinned post later, just for a heads up.

💗 GROWING HEART - if they have a crush, is it noticable? what changes when they’re in love?

hey anon, I apologize for the delayed response. I had an issue with my inbox where I could see notifications, but no questions were visible. Thankfully, the issue has been fixed now. <3

Aurelian: Aurelian will not immediately show his emotions as he tries to comprehend and make sense of his feelings, considering he has never really encountered love before. As he falls in love, he will display more affection and attentiveness towards the person he is attracted to. As his feelings for them grow stronger, he will become more possessive and insistent on spending time with them.

Elara: at first, she may make an effort to appear professional and attentive in public, but as she falls in love, she will gradually become more candid and expressive towards the person she likes. This shift in behavior could lead to occasional episodes of distraction, where she will find herself daydreaming or losing focus on her work. But, she will quickly regain her composure and return to her tasks, with a determination to sort out her emotions at a later time.

Kazuo: given his reserved and guarded nature, it may be difficult to detect if he has a crush as he tends to keep his emotions to himself and struggles to express them, even to the person he cares about. However, as his feelings deepen over time, he will start to exhibit subtle changes in behavior. He will become more protective and expressive towards the person he loves, going above and beyond to ensure their safety and well-being. Despite his stoic facade, he will eventually become more emotionally vulnerable around the person he loves, allowing his guard to drop and be more open.

Aiden/Ava: you will 100% be able to tell if, A has a crush on someone, unless you are really oblivious. When A is around their crush, they will become more affectionate and clingy, and their behavior will change noticeably. They will become nervous or fidgety, and their face will turn red with embarrassment. Despite their best efforts to be subtle and maintain their composure, they will fail miserably, and their true feelings will be quite obvious to others. In fact, people in the kingdom, even children, will pick up on A's crush and tease them about it.

SC: they will be very tricky to know, since they’re very flirty in nature. So you wouldn’t know if they’re truly in love or is it all a trick?
