#gerit lentz

That's so hard, I've so many! But I think I've figured it out, my top 5.

Assassin Skills Required

By far my favorite fic I've written, even now. It was based off a dream and includes characters from Krystar while focusing on the AC characters. I didn't know where I was going with it until I was halfway done, so it was written and posted live, consistently. It went from Saturdays only to Saturdays and Wednesdays and somehow I kept up the whole time thru 3 works of it. As a debut for fanfiction, it's simply the best, and I haven't been able to recreate my experience with it since. Writing live was just so... I can't believe I did it. Not once did I miss an update and it wasn't even prewritten. In fact, I outpaced my posting schedule, even after starting to post a second day each week. I'd never been so inspired than when writing ASR. Picking the top 5 is hard, but picking number 1 is easy. Link to ASR teaser.

Kristmas Karma

This one wasn't quite written live, but it wasn't written that far ahead either, and it includes a ridiculous amount of art all drawn the week before it was posted. I can't believe it was more or less posted on time. It was also partially an experiment. While ASR included all the AC characters, I still didn't know them that well individually outside of Karmagisa. Kristmas Karma changed that. I was able to write and understand nearly every single student's POV convincingly, and still reference the fic to this day when trying to feel them out. It still makes me cry and Christmas Day, despite being the single most longest chapter I've ever written, so long it was split into 2 chapters (23k words btw), still flies right by every time I reread it. Link to KK prelude.

Magic Shuu

Speaking of getting to learn about the other characters in AC, this one focuses on Shuu and the five virtuosos. What I love most about this one is how fluidly I've crossed these boys into the Sailor Moon universe. I love how I turn this very minor character and his even more invisible friends into the main stars and make them relatable. In fact, my friend who has a similarly overbearing father relates to Shuu deeply. This story just has so much heart in it. Currently unfinished, but I'll finish it someday, even if it takes me years. Link to first chapter.

Ubisoft

A Karushuu one-shot. It's playful and fun and both of them are such loveable dorks in this. XD I've reread it so many times I've lost count. My favorite part for Karma is when he stumbles out the door in the morning, tripping and nearly breaking his phone on the way. My favorite part for Shuu is how awkward his attempt to be a better kisser is. I love them so much in this. Link to Ubisoft.

Cuddles and Kisses

A Karmagisa one-shot that I'd planned to write for the longest time. It was based on an idea that someone else had, but it's surprisingly sweet and wholesome despite it being about Karma summoning an incubus. XD My favorite part for Nagisa is when he attempts to "seduce" Karma. My favorite part for Karma is when he rushes home because he's worried about Nagisa disappearing, frantically searching the house until he calls out Nagisa's name, and then hugging him in relief when he appears before him. It's just so sweet for a one-shot, and I'm strongly considering writing more for this AU. Link to Cuddles and Kisses.

Honorable mention:

Gerit

An original story set in the Krystar universe but separate from the main story. It's actually my favorite of anything on AO3, but it's technically not a fanfiction. It centers around a neurodivergent named Gerit who was abused in many ways as a child while training to be an assassin. I wrote this in the midst of writing ASR as Gerit was in the story and I hadn't fleshed him out as a Krystar character yet. It's finished, but not all posted on AO3 as I've decided the tiny Krystar spoilers at the end aren't something I should spoil until at least after book 1 or 2 of the Fragment series is out. Still, feel free to check it out. Not for the faint of heart, rated MA. Link to Gerit.

Just gonna jump right into it.

Main House:

Stag is king.

Right hand man, Will Herondale from the Infernal devices series by Cassandra Clare. He is smart, he can be sweet, he pushes people away (naturally), a bookworm, and you wouldn't suspect any of these things based on his personality, an arrogant bully. I absolutely love him and he deserves all the love. Just gotta break through the surface first.

Left hand man, Percy freaking Jackson. I love him, okay? I feel him on so many levels. He loves showing off, but doesn't feel good enough. Never looks before he leaps, but man does he commit to that leap. Loyal to a fault. I fell in love with him when I read his series and I just had to have him. Part of him likes being the center of all the prophecies. The other is absolutely terrified. And I love all of it.

Syaoran from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles was the first to enter. Without spoiling too much hopefully, "Syaoran" is the one I mean, okay? If you've read the manga, you know what I'm talking about. In ways, he should be in the day care (I'll explain in a bit) but he's much more useful around the house and I'll explain that bit later too. Also, he's just so sweet. 💙

I adopted Kyo from Fruits Basket because someone should. He's fiery and funny and cute and angsty and just needs a hug. And he cooks, so I have taken him. And I would hug him all the time. 😀 Specifically because he hates it. 😆

Yato God! From Noragami. And he has his own shrine in the back yard because I want him to always have a home and to know he will never be forgotten, ever, at least by me. I just, I love him so much. I love him. Ugh, I love him. He deserves all the good things. All of them, I tell you!

Honorable Mentions/Waitlist:

The Flash/Barry Allen, Grant Gustin version. I like him more in the first few series, but he's not really just an honorable mention. He's frequently in and out of the house doing speedster things. He's quirky and funny and I'd love just talking to him all day about nerdy stuff. I mean, you've read my My World Monday posts, right? He'd totally help me science out all of my fantasy realm. But... his true love is Iris, and I'm a sucker for unrequited love. So in and out until one day he just stops coming because she finally gave him the time of day. 💔

Damon Salvatore, Vampire Diares. Um, if there was ever a Stag in human (ish) form, it was this guy, but he's straight. Still sexy as hell though, and he can visit whenever he wants. 💙 He really needs to leave the drama wherever it's at though; I feel like he has a lot. >.>

Dean Winchester, Supernatural. Another sexy sexy guy! Honestly, I like the idea that he's still a free spirit though, and there's no way I could get him to settle, so I'll be the one to visit him. Frequently. But he's always welcome. I just don't think he's quite the right fit for what I'm looking for though. Doesn't mean he isn't fun. 😉

Mushra, Shinzo. He used to be in the main house, but I'm just not really attracted to him anymore. He doesn't qualify for the day care and he's quite fiery, but he has to at least be here because I just can't let him go, especially with the tiny fandom Shinzo has. And he's got a good heart. :') So honorable mentions it is.

Karma Akabane, Assassination Classroom. Okay, he would raise hell if I let him in, so he's staying on the waitlist. Of all the people in this section, he's the only one who's "on the waitlist" because I feel like he'd be constantly trying to break in to wreak some havoc and my boys would be trying to chase him out with the broom. 😆 But part of me kinda likes this, so I think it's sort of perfect where he's at, the "waitlist".

Inuyasha is another one that I stopped really being attracted to, so he's an honorable mention. I also thought he'd hate the idea of "being owned" so it works out for the best, but he'll always have a place in my heart. Such a tsundere…

Day Care:

Gerit, OC. He's a good dog and I really just wanna take care of him and pet him on the head all the time because he likes it. 💙 Very easy to please, and so cute.

Deshi, OC. He's very upset about being in the day care, but all I gotta do is set up an awesome game room with all his favorite games and send him food stuffs and he's happy. And he's okay with this, so he "accepts" it. Begrudgingly, lol. Hates that it's called the "Day Care" though, but I find it's most apt.

Fushi, To Your Eternal. I want to teach him all the things and I can totally see him latching onto someone and following them around like a little duck and just being cute all the time and I just want him in my day care so I can teach him all the things and he can be the ultimate squish. 💙💙💙 Cuteness overload! AHHHHHHH!

Explanation:

The Main House is basically characters that I'm attracted to that if I were their age or vice versa, I'd very much want to be with them. The reason Stag is king is because I don't care if I'm with him, or if I am him. I consider him to be sort of my alter ego if I were I guy, and because of the closeness, that's why he's king, and no one can replace him. A similarity between the five in the house (we're excluding Percy in this case, he's pretty loyal either way) is that if you happen to earn your way into their heart, they are loyal to you to the end. All of them share this trait, and all of them have built up walls for one reason or another that makes them hard to reach, and I just want so much to be the one that reaches them.

The Honorable Mentions/Waitlist means that for one reason or another, they don't qualify to be in the Main House, but I still love them dearly. And then there's Karma. He's here more for fun and like I said, it just sorta works where he is, lol.

The Day Care is for characters that I have adopted and wish only to take care of them because their lives are really fucked up and/or they are just so innocent and I want so much to protect them. They are my squishes and I luff them with all my heart! They just need to be taken care of properly. 😤

And that's my man harem! Like I said, very selective. Anyone surprised by someone on the list? Surprised others aren't on the list? Have suggestions? Let me know in the comments! Thanks for reading. ^^

Sure! Thanks for asking. ^^ Should be some entertaining responses to say the least...

Link to Ask.

1 – Favorite color?

Green and brown.

2 – Hobbies?

Sitting and staring. Sometimes staring and lying down. People watching, but only from a comfortable distance. Varies from person to person, but usually he likes to from pretty far away.

3 – What are their strengths?

He's very patient, except in certain cases. He's also very good at knives and sneaking around, remaining unseen.

4 – What are their weaknesses?

He has a very shallow view of the world so there are a lot of things he doesn't understand and doesn't care to learn.

5 – Favorite food(s)?

I haven't given names to the Theran equivalents [and probably won't] but in Earth terms, he likes weird things. Asparagus, onions, squash, zucchini, and various other veggies. He's the type to eat a salad without any dressing if he has a choice.

6 – Least favorite food(s)?

He doesn't care for fruits or herbs much.

7 – What would be their dream job?

Assassin for hire, but only for Mythren. And he'd do it for free. (Bodyguard for Mynti as a side gig.)

8 – What is their DND alignment?

Chaotic Neutral. He mostly just does whatever and doesn't care, as long as it doesn't hurt the ones he loves.

9 – What is their hidden talent?

I honestly have no idea, and he probably doesn't either, but I would imagine some sort of body weirdness like that tongue thing or being double jointed. You know, something random and weird.

10 – List a personality quirk of this person.

Once he realizes he's allowed to without getting into trouble, he likes teasing Mythren and doing things that annoy him.

11 – List something strange/weird/unexpected about this character that their loved ones probably don’t know about them.

He thinks everyone is stupid. Like, legitimately stupid. He thinks there are no intelligent people in the world. Including him.

12 – What is their complex? (Sister, inferiority, etc) Explain.

I had to do a lot of research for this one. I think he has what's called a Medusa complex as it makes the most sense for him. It revolves around the petrification or freezing of human emotion.

13 – What is their main sin of the seven deadly ones?

You know, this is actually really hard because he's a well rounded character with many flaws but no major sins. Like, if nonchalance was a sin, that'd be it, but it's not. He has hints of pride, but they don't affect him in any major ways. He tends to not do anything, but it's more out of necessity than him being slothful. He thinks that's what he's supposed to do. Not lust. (More on that in the sweet and spicy sections.) Not greed. Not envy. Definitely not glutton. (Even if he wants it, he will wait for permission. If he doesn't get it, he lets it go. Really weird guy.) And he's pretty hard to get angry. He's just really really chill. (Feel free to let me know your thoughts on this, tuuli.)

14 – How would they be as a parent?

He's definitely the fun dad. He'll play games with you, get into trouble with you, get put into timeout with you, follow you into any sort of shenanigans, and keep you safe in case of any danger. He's a horrible role model, but a great and reliable friend.

15 – What is their main love language?

Tooooouuuuuucccchhhhh. He WILL touch you if he likes you. Head pats, pokes, leans, nose rubs, cheek rubs, brushes on skin, playing with hair, hugs around any body part he can get his hands on, and the more he likes you, the less likely he is to let go.

16 – How do they act around a crush?

I don't think he has crushes… He just prefers some people over others.

17 – How do they act when they are in love?

He will hang his arms over your shoulders and just physically be around you every second you allow him.

18 – How would they react to a confession of love?

Depends. Does he like them back? No: No reaction. Yes: HUUUUUUGS!!!

19 – How do they show their love/affection?

See number 15 and 17 As a sidenote, he pays more attention to Mythren than anyone else, and he noticed Mythren likes words, so he gives Mythren his words. Whether or not he wants to talk. Usually he doesn't. He's found that when he talks, Mythren thinks he's happy, so he'll burst with questions when he's happy, but only around Mythren.

20 – What is their idea of a good time?

Being with Mythren.

21 – Describe their ideal date.

He doesn't understand the concept of "dates" but if it were to be different than just being around Mythren, then it would be spending time with Mynti while Mythren watches them lovingly. Gerit thinks this is what makes him happiest, so that would be the closest thing to a "date" that he could come up with.

22 – How do they handle drama?

He doesn't.

23 – What is their sexual preference/sexuality?

None, and I'm not sure. It's situational, but not demisexual. He's a weird guy when it comes to sex.

24 – What is their BDSM tag? (Brat, sub, Master, vanilla, etc)

Pet 100% He's ranks decently in slave and sub too.

25 – What is their phobia or greatest fear?

Losing Mythren. Second is doing something to make Mythren actually leave him, which means third is letting anything bad happen to Mynti because Mynti is important to Mythren.

26 – What is their emotional damage?

Anyone who's read his story knows he has PLENTY of damage. If I were to try to explain it though, I would say that he has a shallow view of the world. Looking closer meant he would feel pain, or fear, or anything bad, so he holds the world at arm's length and just… doesn't look more than he needs to. And he's okay with that. This makes him incredibly naive about most things, but all he's ever known is unspeakable to others, and if he looked any closer, it would hurt him more than he can handle. He doesn't do this consciously though. It's like a natural defense mechanism he grew up with. And he's never had a reason to completely break free from it.

27 – How do they handle emotional pain?

Very badly. When he actually feels things, he's very clingy and scared and possessive and bratty. He doesn't like being emotionally upset. It's annoying. And he lets you know.

28 – How do they handle physical pain?

Nonchalantly. Like, it happened. Well that sucks. I guess it hurts a little. *shows Mythren* "Oh dear god, what happened to you???" *shrugs*

29 – What would bring them to kill someone?

If you are ranked higher than him in his mind, all you need to do is ask. As for wanting to kill someone for his own reasons, if they attempt to hurt his loved ones or threaten their safety, he wouldn't think twice. You're done.

30 – How would they react or change after they’ve killed someone?

It's part of that detachment thing, he really doesn't change. It's just another Tuesday for him.

Thanks for the ask!

For those interested, here's a link to the story on AO3. Be warned though, there are many potential triggers. Please check the tags in the fic before proceeding. Thanks!

And here are some pictures. Mythren - brown hair. Gerit - blond hair. Mynti - kid.

Gerit and Mythren this time.

You can do 15 for Steshiko too if you want.

Yay, more asks! Feel free to keep them coming. You're the only one asking right now, so... yeah.

Gerit

2 - Tea, coffee, hot chocolate or other?

He would be confused by anything that's not water. I could see him being interested in tea though. Something like "it doesn't look like water, but it taste like water? Huh." *drinks*

15 - What is the first thing people notice about them?

That he doesn't say anything. I imagine he gives off weird vibes and him not greeting anyone or offering to shake someone's hand would immediately be the thing people find strange about him, and then how he will stare at the speaker and never add to the conversation. He just has this blank gaze all the time. XD

37 - Your character has been kidnapped. Who has kidnapped them and how do they escape?

The Commander most likely. And Gerit would escape by killing a bunch of young, trained assassins without a second thought. True story. And depending on where he's at in his development, he'd probably fight and try to kill the commander too, just to ensure it doesn't happen again. 😉

Mythren

2 - Tea, coffee, hot chocolate or other?

He's a coffee guy, I imagine. Needs his daily morning cup if it was a thing. Doesn't like it black, but doesn't like a lot of sugar. I imagine he's be very habitual if he were on Earth.

15 - What is the first thing people notice about them?

Deo said father, and I have to agree. He dad's Gerit all the time and after a while, it's probably ingrained in him, and people probably have to stop him and say "I can cut my own food, thanks" and Mythren would just be like "oh, silly me" and the other thing is that he's a chatterbox. He's the guy that everyone would go "oh, I'm not gonna be able to shut him up, am I?" *instant regret*

37 - Your character has been kidnapped. Who has kidnapped them and how do they escape?

Most likely King Kares. I imagine he'd be held in a dungeon/jail for a time and he'd probably get help from the queen, her servants, and other tending staff (which includes Lady Callisties, by the way. That's how he knew her.)

15 - What is the first thing people notice about them?

Stag - I think it depends on the situation. At the castle, probably his high and mighty attitude. At the clubs, probably his flirty smile and intense gaze.

Deshi - His broody teenager attitude. XD

Panko - Her child-like wonder and kindness. She's very forward and the first to introduce herself. She likes to ask questions and will follow around a new person she likes without question. This probably makes most people have this "protective" approach to her initially and they'd have no idea how capable she is of taking care of herself.

Thanks for the ask, as always, Jackie! 💙💙💙 Not going to lie, Deshi's broody teenager answer made me laugh. XD And Deo too. Love you! Have a good evening!
