The Brief: An OC x Canon arranged marriage plot where the OC feels guilty and hesitant over the arrangement.
Client x Author Collaboration: The OC's stated features are all c/o the client. I built the clan lore and a bit of power scale. XD

Intro
Honor thy clan, that is the maxim in which the Shigeoka clan operates. They came into power during the Muromachi Period in Japan, navigating a transition period where Western influences were slowly creeping into society. Among the Big Four clans, they are the newest, and therefore have the most to prove, even to this day.
Seina Shigeoka, a quiet unassuming noblewoman who remains unmarried at twenty-eight. She has become a prodigy in her own right, mastering the clan’s Gravity Manipulation at the age of thirteen. To families like these, prodigies were treasured gold. However for the prodigies themselves, it was a life sentence.
As soon as she succeeded in mastering the clan’s technique, her father (the reigning clan head) sent out the news to the three other rival clans.
The Gojo clan immediately took notice. Among the Big Four, no other heiress has promised as powerful an ally as Seina. And so the elders convened to introduce Satoru and Seina on that fateful day, fifteen years ago.

Part One - The Meeting, Fifteen Years Before Present Date
The Gojo Estate boasts of grandiose fences of stone, rammed earth, and wood. It is enough to make anyone feel small, even the ones belonging to the big Jujutsu clans. A grove of tall bamboo trees surround each private wing, building an air of inviolability among those who reside within it.
Since the birth of Gojo Satoru, wielder of the Limitless and Six Eyes (a combination the clan has not seen in over centuries), the clan has reclaimed its glory among the Big Four.
There they now stand in the estate’s ohiroma. Satoru stands behind the reigning Gojo clan head, and Seina stands behind her father. Both are thirteen years old at this point, too young to understand the weight of the union that was to be imposed upon them, and perhaps too naive to form their own thoughts regarding the matter.
They already knew each other, of course. There had been several inter-clan gatherings where they enjoyed their stolen moments to talk. However, all that seemed alien to them as this new form of a bond was being introduced.
Marriage.
“It makes perfect sense,” Seina’s father says with much bravado. “My daughter is hailed as the strongest of our clan, the strongest among the Big Four heirs, with the sole exception of young Satoru here, of course.”
The Gojo Clan Head nods and bows in acknowledgment of Satoru’s skill and power. “I’m honored to hear you say that, Shigeoka-dono. Truly, our heirs would be an alliance not even the Zen’in nor Kamo could deny or even surpass.”
The Shigeoka clan head let out a soft, inward laugh that held both pride and mirth. “Can you imagine the look on Naobito-dono’s face when he hears of this union?” Seina freezes at her father’s bold mention of another clan head’s name, her purple pupils dilating for a fraction.
The Gojo clan head simply smirks and tilts his head ever so slightly. “My, my. To suggest anything ill of another clan head can be considered treason among the Big Four, Shigeoka-dono.”
The Shigeoka clan head lets out a raw bark of laughter, ignoring all decorum they have so carefully curated.
“Well, we don’t have to worry about that now, won’t we? This union will put the Kamo and Zen’in into obsoletion.”

Part Two - Graduation Day, Seven Years Later
Nothing much has changed in Tokyo Jujutsu High. Its hallowed halls have faced tragedies beyond human imagination over the years. Yet its walls remain intact, the gardens remain polished, and the youth continue to carry the burden of a system meant to bend them.
Seina stares at the trees by the campus open fields, letting herself be enveloped by the foliage, her vibrant red hair standing out among the sea of greenery. It had rained in the morning during their ceremony, and now she is surrounded by the calming scent of petrichor. It reminded her of rainy July nights years ago in her dorm room as she ate late night snacks with Gojo while they crammed for projects or tests.
Now, as the sun gradually peers through the clouds for its final moments, Seina feels a sense of warmth blanket over her as the rays hit her face. The sun was setting, and so was her chapter as a Jujutsu student. There was solace in ending her chapter as a schoolgirl, but then there was a looming sense of dread as she felt the weight of her responsibilities creep in on her.
“It really feels like the calm before the storm, huh?” A familiar voice emerges from behind her. She could hear his footsteps get closer.
Seina takes a deep breath before speaking, scared Satoru would notice her struggle to keep her voice steady. “What do you mean?”
Satoru finally reaches her side. He places both hands on his hips and takes in the same view she was looking at through his round shades. “I mean… after this. We’ll have to deal with wedding stuff.”
Seina steps back as the slow heat builds up from her chest up to her cheeks. “Oh. We don’t… we don’t have to do all that. We can just go with whatever the elders give us.”
A loud bark of laughter emerges from Satoru. To anyone else it would have been obnoxious and simply loud, but to Seina she felt a small sense of relief. “Seina-chan, did you hit your head during the ceremony, or are you possessed? Let the elders handle it? Do you realize how utterly boring that would be?”
Seina’s body stiffens, not knowing what to say next without sounding desperate or pathetic. “I don’t want to be a burden to you any further.”
Satoru turns back his gaze towards her, his piercing blue eyes widening just a bit. “Burden? What do you mean?” He then takes Seina’s hand and leads her to face him. “Seina, talk to me. We’ve been fine, right? What’s with the sudden change?”
Seina slowly retracts her hand and looks down, her bangs hiding the pained expression in her eyes. She knew Satoru hated following tradition, and she also knew he was too nice to let his disdain show because they had already become good friends over the years. “Nothing. Just… it’s not a big deal, okay?”
Satoru scoffs repeatedly. “Not a big deal? Not–” he stands in front of Seina now, blocking her view completely. “Are you serious? Seina-chan, this is our wedding! Of course it’s a big deal!”
“No, it’s not, because I know you hate it! I know you’re being forced into this–”
He steps forward and places both his hands in the air. “Woah, woah, woah! Wait a minute. Force? You think anyone can force me to do anything?”
Satoru slowly reaches out for Seina’s hand, interlacing their fingers together. He slowly lifts it up and kisses her knuckles, never breaking eye contact even through his sunglasses. Looking into Satoru’s eyes felt a lot like looking into the space where the sky meets the ocean. Seina knew the calm was a farce, and that underneath that was something she could never truly see.
That was both the charm and curse of loving someone like Satoru – on the surface, Seina feels the sense of calm knowing she has the protection of the strongest (even if it was arranged), and yet there is also the thrill of never knowing what he would do next or what he really thought of.
He continues, slowly rubbing his thumb at the back of her hand. “Seina-chan, have I not made it clear all these years?” Satoru lets go of her hand, only to gently hold her cheek. She feels her heart hammer faster and faster, her vision getting blurry as he continues talking. “I want to do this. I’m all in on this. Aren’t you?”
“Satoru, I… I didn’t know…”
He laughs softly and taps her forehead. “You didn’t know?”
Seina blushes and swats his hand away, only for him to grab her wrist gently and kiss her hand again. Slowly, he kneels in front of her and pulls out a small box from his pocket.
“Satoru… what… what are you…”
“You deserve to have this done properly, Seina-chan,” he smiles as he looks up at her. His expression was the softest it has ever been in years. “You deserve something not even our clans can take away from you.”
“Satoru, you can’t be serious–!”
“I know you think that this entire marriage plan was simply orchestrated by our families to secure our positions. That’s what I thought of this entire thing all those years ago too.” He takes off his sunglasses and places them on the ground. He looks at Seina with an intense earnestness he only ever gave the ones closest to him in the past.
“What are you trying to say, Satoru?” Seina felt her hands shaking, and so Satoru used his free hand to hold both of hers together.
“I’m saying that all these years, I realized one very important thing…” he now holds the box with both hands, “that I’m not mad about this arrangement at all. In fact, as we got closer… every time you yelled at me, comforted me, threw crumpled paper at me just to test if my Infinity was on, slept in my dorm room and snored like a sailor…”
He opens the box, the diamond ring’s brilliance shimmering against the setting sun. “I realized that I was already falling in love with you.”
“Seina-chan,” Satoru says in a low and tender voice, He pauses before continuing, “will you marry me?”

So good news y'all. I will be releasing more Predator related content. You've glimpsed a couple of them with the latest story. Nua'thaarn and Anuandi are a lovely couple and deadly as a pair, but now you'll be introduced to their children. Kuraal, the oldest. Ahtar, the middle child. And Nak'ari the youngest and the only sister.
There was a fourth known as Mah-kui who was the baby of the group. Sadly his story was short but you'll get to know him through these stories that take place in the past. Sort of like origin stories for each child. The current story I am doing focuses on Nak'ari and the human OCs as they handle Xenomorphs, Bad Bloods, and other things.
Hopefully, I'll have them out soon. I hope y'all will enjoy them as much as I enjoy making them.

Word count: 199,838
Relationships: Germany/North Italy, Canada/Prussia, South Italy/Spain, England/France etc.
Characters: Germany, Prussia, North Italy, Canada, Spain, Austria, Hetalia Original Character(s), Hesse, Brandenburg, Saxony, Bavaria, Thuringia, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Lower Saxony, Saarland, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Tyrol, Salzburg etc.
Summary:
“Have you met the nations before? You know, apart from our neighbors?”
“As the Grand Duchy of Hesse, yes, but as a federate state of Germany, no.”
The year is 1991. One year after the reunification of Germany. Two years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. When West and East Germany are unable to attend the world summit in Strasbourg, it is up to their most trusted federate states to represent them. But what starts out as a great opportunity to meet the nations for some, eventually ends as a nightmare for all. One that is far from short-lived, because when Ludwig and Gilbert remain missing, their loved ones are quick to discover that the reunification of the two sides of Germany isn’t what Wolfgang made believe.
Meanwhile, Italy and Canada have to question the friendship they share with the German brothers. How does Feliciano cope with the aftermath of "Buon San Valentino" as well as Germany’s states, whose approval he should now seek? And how will Matthew know what a seemingly innocent kiss between two forgotten souls means?
