#dark material.

I was wondering when I was going to cross that line again. >w> Haven't written smut since February, and I haven't written smut for Yandere situations since... Well... When did the ban happen? Jeeze...

OH, he's pent up all right. He lost what Beloved sounded like over the centuries and hasn't found much lasting relief in quite a long time. That is... until the reader showed up at the Petrification Ceremony. He's not as delusional about it yet, but I imagine that'll change.

Smut under cut. Non-con implied but is not the bulk of the piece nor aimed at the reader so tread carefully. This is still Yandere material. Heed all warnings before proceeding.

There is another human in the Boiling Isles. However, they don’t even know it. Years before Luz showed up on the Boiling Isles, someone slipped through a pool of Titan’s blood and appeared out of the blue. 

Treating the experience like one would a medieval RPG, the human geared up and started to look for a way home, getting to know the area and the denizens of the Boiling Isles. No one thought of this newcomer as a human, as they covered their ears with a hat/helmet as one does in an RPG to protect themselves. 

The human decides that their best bet is to seek out the most powerful witch in the Boiling Isles if they wanted to get home, believing that this witch would be able to grant such a request if they proved themselves. They cause some issues along the way, as you can imagine since they believed the world around them was a fantastic dream and they took out some of the coven guards without realizing it. 

That got me thinking about if he did pine for someone in the human realm. Just think about all the love letters he'd write while in the Boiling Isles that were never sent. The stack would rival Eda's school record.

He'd be in denial that this person would never move on without him (though they may have never known he was into them), and he writes them as if he and his Beloved are set to be engaged. He'd lament to them about having to stay in this 'awful place' in order to save them from evil and he'd be 'home' as soon as his mission is complete. When he realizes that too much time has passed and his Beloved is no longer alive, he goes into full-on denial.

Throughout his years in the Boiling Isles, he has caught glimpses of people that look like his Beloved and those people would disappear from the public eye. He'd keep them (against their will) for a while, shower them with affection, and make them look even more like his Beloved, but when he either got bored or reality slapped him in the face, he'd dispose of them. They were still witches, after all. His Beloved is not a witch, no matter how much they look like them and cutting off the tips of their ears only did so much.

Once he perfected sigil magic, this process became easier, immobilizing his target and allowing him to whisk them away to his hideout and repeat the process over again. He'd also lure them away with the line "The Titan has specifically chosen you...".

"No. But I have heard of strong emotions materializing."

This exchange between Luz and Eda in Hollow Mind has me thinking.

In the PreLuz AU, not only is there a Palisman monster running about, Luz hears you chuckling and laughing. She doesn't know where it's coming from until she catches a white figure moving among the trees. When "Kid Belos" hears it too, he stops and hesitates before continuing on with the mission, making Luz think it's something else to fear.

"Where are you?" your voice would ring out in a way that made chills rush up Luz's body. It was playful, but it had a dark underlying tone to it. Hunter found himself staring as well but the monster makes him run after Luz. The monster doesn't seem interested in the figure like "Kid Belos" was. "Oh, don't you want to play? Then how about you find me instead?"

Luz and Hunter do talk about it during the walk in the snow to another memory and Hunter does tell Luz that Belos seems to have a deep love for you so maybe what the two saw was that emotion manifesting, so it shouldn't harm them, right? Luz doesn't seem so sure. The tone didn't sound very inviting and the way "Kid Belos" seemed to act made her think something was wrong, but she couldn't dwell on it.

Everything goes on as it did in the show until he starts backing Luz into the Golden Guard's memory hall where Luz hears your voice giggling. Belos sideglances a nearby tree before violently lashing out and pulling you into view. Luz gasps and tells him to let you go but he ignores her. He dips you some, smirking as he nuzzles you heavily, causing you to giggle more.

"Found you. Now, how did you get out, Dove?"

As he spoke, Luz noticed that where Inner Belos was glowing red, you were glowing white and didn't seem to have a stable figure as he did. You wore a long, nightgown with nothing on your feet, opposite your royal robes and you looked more relaxed. Luz hated how he touched you so tenderly and even more how you reacted, pushing her to yell at you. You stared at her as she unloaded everything she knew about him, including the sketch Philip had in his journal in E&E. This did not, however, stop Belos from loving on your form as he just ignored her and focused more on your neck and chest. She told you that no matter how much he "loves you", he's still a horrible monster. You did not react past staring but Inner Belos pulled you upright with a dark smirk.

"Do you really believe this is my love for your godparent?"

Luz was taken aback as you stood to face her with Inner Belos standing behind you and he wrapped his arms around you, craning his neck over your shoulder to look at her. You leaned your head back to nuzzle the side of his head as one of your arms reached up to hang around his neck. With an unhinged expression, his arms snapped shut around you, causing your white form to groan and dissipate in mid-air. Luz's eyes widened in horror. The white mist left behind seemed to sink into his chest.

"That's better. Back where you belong, dearest..."

"What did you do to them?! I thought you loved them!"

Inner Belos just chuckled and continued to stalk toward her.

"Love? Do you believe I love them? No, my dear child. I do not love them. I am OBSESSED with them."

"W-What?"

Inner Belos goes on a twisted monologue about how he met you, how he manipulated you at every turn and how you became more useful to him as time went on. While he wanted to keep you safe since you were the only other human, he realized what you were, giving him a second chance, and decided to keep you for himself. Luz looked like she was about to be sick.

"And do understand that if they ever try to leave me, rest assured, I will tear their throat out and hold them as they bleed out. I will watch the life leave their eyes before I ever allow that. I can't have them turn against me after we've been through so much... After all, they're mine, body, mind, heart, and soul. It would be unfair to me if there was someone else."

Horrified by his confession and the implication of what he'd do if she intervened, Luz backed further into the Golden Guard memory hall and the conversation changed. No matter how hard Luz tries to drive it back, she was unsuccessful.

When Luz and Hunter return to the real world, Belos opened his eyes in his bed and he glanced beside him to find you sound asleep. With a soft smirk, he pulled you close and nuzzled you. You gave a sleepy smile and nuzzled him back before settling back down. He left a tender kiss on your temple with his voice husky.

Emperor Belos/Philip Wittebane: Manipulative.

Whether he's known as Philip Wittebane or Emperor Belos, he will always use the most powerful tool in his arsenal against his Beloved. A silver tongue. He is an extremely dangerous mix of charm, intelligence, and patience, as well as a master linguist, able to play the long con without issue. Belos/Philip could tell you the sky was green and after a while, you'd believe it. He makes His Beloved see things his way and it's enough to keep them away from his rivals and in his welcoming arms. Belos/Philip is able to explain away almost anything so good luck getting his Beloved to turn against him. He uses all the tactics that a master manipulator would in order to keep his Beloved close and his. Only his. If he doesn't like you, His Beloved will be notified of something you may or may not have done and they'll believe him over you. He's given them no reason not to. His Beloved will do the severing of any and all ties for him and he'd barely have to lift a finger. He is sure to have the red string of fate wrapped around his hand and tied tightly around his Beloved's throat with a simple murmur in their ear. As long as his Beloved returns his affection, fears angering him, and does exactly what he says, he's their slave.

Adrian: Isolating.

Adrian Graye is extremely possessive. He doesn't want anyone else around his Beloved, or at least anyone real. He'll resort to creating various illusions to make it seem like they're not alone when he's off to work. Scarily enough, his Beloved will never know the difference. He will have a replica of the town filled with nothing but illusions to keep them company. He wants his Beloved in the palm of his hand. What's this? You want to speak to his precious treasure? Well, you better have some amazing survival skills because you're going to have to solve an incredibly difficult labyrinth in order to even see them, let alone talk to them. And it's an actual labyrinth with his Beloved at the center like a guarded princess, (newsflash, there is no direct way through. All of the paths are blocked). It is filled with traps and Adrian's bloodthirsty pets. You have to figure out what is real and what is an illusion. Guessing wrong will result in death. It'll entertain him to say the least. If you somehow get through (most likely by having to cheat), well... hope you can survive your worst nightmare... on repeat. He's a hopeless romantic so he sees absolutely nothing wrong with what he's doing. All he needs is his Beloved and they only need him.

Darius: Eliminating.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT I'M CAPABLE OF?!" It's all talk. Well, eight out of ten times it is. Those eight times when he "eliminates" his romantic rivals, he puts on a big show and gets them to back off. Very rarely has he ever needed to get violent with someone with eyes on his Beloved because of his intimidation factor. A flash of his sharp Abomination scythe usually does the trick. Darius is very aware of what he is and tries hard to suppress it by resorting to intimidation tactics instead of giving into homicidal urges. He's deathly afraid of scaring his Beloved off, though he can't exactly help it if he does get rough with someone who refuses to back down. The remaining two tend to be very messy and completely unhinged. He makes it very clear who his Beloved is with to everyone around him. Darius will always keep his Beloved close when out and about and relies on either heavy PDA or an arm around their waist to get the message across. He often complains about Beloved's friends but won't dare step between them as long as they're good to them. If they're not, someone's getting a visit by a very homicidal Coven Head who is trying his damnedest not to paint the wall with his Beloved's friend's blood.

Hieronymus Bump: Submissive.

In the reenactment, Philip's part was cut out entirely, replaced by an actual mob from the town due to how history tends to miss out on certain details.

Luz isn't there. She had wandered off to have some time to herself and ignore the fact that Philip only dragged her there cuz he wanted to see you in period clothing. There were already so many people who would compare you to a portrait of Beloved and he thoroughly enjoyed it.

When he heard of that part of the tour, he didn't think anything of it at first. He thought it would just be another hanging. When he saw you at the edge of the river, everything changed. He started to relive that day in vivid detail and you had been in the exact spot Beloved had been.

The whole thing throws Philip into a complete panic attack that puts him on his knees, clutching his chest as he's gasping for air which makes people believe it's a heart attack. This causes the reenactment to come to a halt and you rush over to check on him when you realize what's happening.

You try to talk him down the best you could, keeping him grounded as you maintained eye contact with him with tears and sweat streaking his face. The majority of the people are led away by the owner of the museum with EMTs being called.

When all is said and done, he's laying with his head on your lap in a shaded area as he's calming down. You've been running your hand through his hair since the EMTs left and you're talking softly, reassuring him that he's safe. When Luz walks up, she glares at Philip but the nice side of her decides to ask what happened and you tell her.

(we know Jacob is jelly as hell >w>)

Titled “ What’s wrong with this man “

PFFFFFFFFFFFT

She has sketches that she did of both you and him, though yours is supposed to be "Beloved" in the same style that she remembers young Philip having in his journal. She begrudgingly has a note up there that has the two of you side by side when he's younger with "Actually cute couple?!" on it XD

Imagine him walking in to see it.

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with me. |["

"Riiiiiiiight. *cough*Crazy*cough*"

Unfortunately, she realizes this is just a distraction and she's wasted so much time on this instead of figuring out how to get back to the Boiling Isles.
