oh my gosh - this is exactly how Percival was as a father. and this made me laugh so hard! thanks for sharing charms-cat!! i can see him walking around court, even the capital with the twins like this

I think my imagination is too active bcs I immediately thought of an AU where MC is present in Camelot during wedding prep and they and Arthur get closer during the however many weeks/months it takes to set up a royal wedding until the wedding day arrives and they realise that they've fallen in love with the other and now have to rethink the arrangement with Guin (bcs love~) but also rethink how to maintain a proper alliance with Cameliard

Just....the drama, the angst, the mutual pining but the other doesn't know it, "should I risk an alliance between our kingdoms? What if they don't feel the same? What if they do?" Meanwhile, Bran's in the bg, fuming bcs "of course MC would ruin the wedding!" (probs not in the way he expected tho)

I think I need to get back into watching drama 🤭

Yes, honestly the AU idea...I think that would make an interesting side story or even AU mini game lol. I think there's a lot of angst in that idea and I'm a sucker for angsty stuff. An also mutual pining. Ugh so good!!!

Sorry this took so long charms-cat! I love this <3 true love is not necessarily romantic and this is a cute scenario!

Vivian: Vivian’s heart swells when you wake up from the gentle kiss she placed on your forehead. She was not hopeful but she had hoped. Because what else is a mother to do? She could not stand seeing you stuck in this purgatory between life and death. This space where you both were and were not. But here you are, eyes open and you’re looking at her with a small smile on your face. “There you are, my dear. Don’t scare me like that,” she says as she smooths her hand over your head. No matter what the world throws at you or how you feel about others, Vivian only wants you to know that her love for you is unending.

James: James had always believed that twins were two halves. That their love for each other was unlike any other. That was the myth of the birth of the first twins, Eurybia and Aurora, and that was what your brother believed. He knew that he would always fight to protect you in this world, whether you wanted it or not. Because you’re his sibling. His family. James had placed a kiss on your cheek, willing every ounce of love he had for you into that simple peck. And when you woke, he chuckled, not only from relief but because he wanted to cry. But he needed to stay strong. “You’re okay,” he whispered. A whisper for both of you.

charms-cat, hi!!

Constantine

Constantine has gone still, shock etched into his features. He's usually very secure. Why would he need to be jealous when you've given yourselves to each other?

But that thought disappeared into oblivion when another's kiss woke you. He wants to be your protector. Your lover. Your only one.

And he thought this love was true - one of the few things he's certain of in this complicated world. Now he's not so sure. Will it be me you choose in the end, my love? Or will I go down fighting?

Felix

Your eyes open and Felix can't breathe. He's both relieved and angry. It was meant to be him. He was the one meant to bring you back from the edge. And now you're looking back and forth between him and his sibling.

Of course. Of course, it was their kiss that woke you. And he can't hate them for bringing you back but his heart aches at the thought of you leaving him and jumping back in their arms.

Felix shakes his head and turns away, hoping no one sees the frown on his face. He can't do this right now. Maybe you won't even care if he leaves. Why do you need me when you have them? You don't, you never have.

F

F can feel the tears well up and they quickly wipe their eyes. These are not tears of sadness or anger. But hopelessness. They wonder if your relationship has always been destined to fail.

They thought you were paired by the gods. To cherish and love each other like no one could ever understand. But now they're unsure. Unsure if they'll be enough for you.

Because they aren't sure if you've ever looked at them like how you're looking at someone else right now. I'll never be able to compare. And you deserve better.

Margaret

Margaret's never felt this way and she doesn't like it. She's not a fan of feeling blindsided. But she wasn't the one to rescue you from this stupid curse. It wasn't her lips. And apparently, it's not her love either.

She lets out a quiet huff, disappointment seeping through her. Will you notice if she leaves? Tears threaten to fall from her eyes and she refuses to be seen this way.

raven/nightingale? Okay, well, birds are common in royal households so that makes sense (I've only really heard of falcons but whatever)

ferret? Uncommon but they're cute

goose? Okay, so we're already heading into aggressive animal territory but at least MC has a ready bodyguard (no offense, Constantine 😅)

lion/wolf aka literal apex predators? .....how'd MC get them in the first place?? Who indulged MC's Princess Jasmine fantasies of owning an animal that's at the top of the food chain??? Was it the Quartermaster? Did MC find an injured lion/wolf one day during their walk, nursed it back to health, and now it won't leave?? Is this just Royal PrivilegeTM? It's probably the privilege

Hmm, I was thinking only Anna would know the specifics and then MC rocks in XYZ pet.

There will definitely be a range of reactions which will I will try to make varied and unique for the different animals.

Someone is definitely getting chased. Maybe more than one person 😈 And I think the pet should have a command word that MC can say to get them to attack or do something to scare the shit out of people. perhaps im getting unhinged here...

Someone on the COG forum asked if the lion/wolf would be a cub and I was like "I mean, I guess it could be" but I'd prefer for them to be grown. Can you imagine? Where are gremlin MCs/anons when you need them lol maybe they aren't happy I left out raccoons

But yeah, the reactions should be interesting

"weird flex"

"are you deranged"

"cute! ... ouch!!"

idk I'll figure it out but should be somewhat funny/endearing

Yes, I'm shocked that 5'9-5'11 is seen as short. What does that make you and I???

Also, finding out that you're ginger and have freckles immediately made me picture you as a Weasley 😂 and corn on pizza is an atrocity 💀

Thank you for your kind words charms-cat <3

but like, not the Weasleys 💀💀💀
