The House of Abrasax continues to thrive... We're all going to Hell, Space Oedipus. All Jupiter Ascending, all the time, with an emphasis on the House of Abrasax. Watch out for spoilers! Need it tagged? I can do that. Got a prompt? I can write that. Need a beta? I can edit that. [AO3 user: abrassaxe]

What do you think Balem would be like as a friend? (If that's even possible, lol) What would it take to even become close to someone like himself?

tl;dr: Balem Abrasax is a lousy friend.I think this depends on what point we’re at in Balem’s life. He’s thousands of years old, and this means that he’s probably gone through a lot of change. If we consider Balem Abrasax as he is when we meet him, I think that he likely doesn’t have friends, but he has servants who have good rapport. Mr. Night is a good example. Night seems to have a good read of Balem’s idiosyncracies. He knows when Tskalikin has said something to anger him. He knows the significance of a legionnaire’s intervention when the plot to murder Jupiter is foiled. That said, it’s a very one-sided relationship. Balem Abrasax does not do emotional labour. He allows Mr. Night to walk alongside him, and to an extent, confides in him (“I would harvest this planet tomorrow”), but they’re not even remotely equal. So the short version is that no one gets too close to Balem Abrasax. They just serve him.But let’s consider as well, the possibility that Balem could find someone who learns his quirks the same way. Another Entitled, perhaps, on equal social footing. No doubt the friendship would be fraught. Mistrust, perhaps envy on Balem’s part, and an unwillingness to meet anyone halfway. And, if he did become fond, I expect he would quickly become possessive. Friendship with Balem is a lot of work, and not a lot of reward.

What do you think the Abrasax sibling's zodiac signs are?

This is a super interesting ask. These are just my gut impulses, not something I’ve researched beyond a quick googling here and there.Kalique strikes me as a Taurus. They’re very gustatory, or so I read, and in the film Kalique is the only Abrasax we see eat anything. Titus serves dinner with Jupiter, but only drinks the whole while. I can see some argument for Virgo, but I don’t think she is a particularly order-oriented person. There’s some chaos in Kalique.Balem was tricky to place, because he’s so volatile. Ares might be the easy choice, but I think Capricorn might be a good fit. Apparently compatible with Taurus, and (according to one quick google), cold, stubborn, and pessimistic. I also read that they push themselves to very high standards, sometimes to their detriment, and I think Seraphi’s approval might be that thing for him.Titus is a Libra. All the way. He’s aesthetically-minded, and while Libras are signified by a balanced scale, I don’t think that this means all Libras must have an inherent sense of balance in all things. His tendency to unbalance business and pleasure seems fitting in that context. While Scorpio is apparently the more sensual of the signs, I think that this balancing act is more integral to who Titus is (think of the other things he balances: truth/deceit, performance/reality).

Can you write a Balem x reader one shot where the reader is kidnapped(personality is shy, fearful of him yet obedient when needed) by Balem and she eventually falls for him and he falls for her?

That’s a hard pass, I’m afraid. Not quite my jive.

Title: Deeds of Gift [Chapter 12/20] Wine, Scheming, and Song Fandom: Jupiter Ascending Rating: T, eventual M Warnings: Canon-typical incestual vibes. Referenced and implied incest. Spoilers. Word Count: 50 029 and climbing Summary: (AU) Balem survives the events of the film, but is prevented from harvesting earth given the disastrous damages done to his main stockworks on Jupiter, and his own personal injury. Jupiter, cognizant of her age, realizes that to keep Earth out of Balem’s clutches, she’ll need to use RegenX-E. This request, however, is not one that Balem intends to grant lightly… Chapter Summary: Grimaldus Orias arrives bearing gifts. Jupiter learns more about Entitled revelry. Balem attends a clandestine meeting. Mr. Night frets.

Excerpt

“Lord Balem, Pallas Strigna.” At first, Balem forgets that he has excised Chicanery Night from the meeting, and so at first, the sight of Mr. Atropo there in his place is irritating. The sound of his dry, crackling voice is similarly irritating. He gives a flick of his wrist, and Atropo knows he has been banished. Even the sound of his departure is unlike Mr. Night, who vanishes like candlelight, suddenly snuffed. Balem’s lips tauten as he looks over Pallas Strigna. They could almost be a sibling to Malidictes, save that their plumage is steel grey, and they lack his insufferable drawl. They bow suitably low before him. But for a smile that is too self-satisfied, they are the picture of servile humility. “It is an honour to meet with you in person, my lord.” They have a crisp tone, orderly as their gown, with its sharp shoulders, precise, flattering lines on a body that is all edges. Balem, already annoyed, is in no mood to appreciate this, however. He sneers. “I hope you have not crossed so great a distance for that alone.” “Indeed not,” Pallas concedes, orange eyes unblinking. Their time has no value to him, after all. Like history, he would soon forget the jagged shapes which composed the face of Pallas Strigna. He would forget, but endure. To their credit, they do not squirm in the beat of silence that follows their concession. Instead of writhing, they continue. “Rather, I come to give you my personal assurance regarding the suit–” Balem lifts a hand. “All I require is your compliance.” “And my silence.” That self-satisfied smile returns, as if Pallas is arrogant enough to think that they have leverage. Balem regards them with the stillness of a cobra weighing whether to strike or not. His smile stretches the corners of his mouth slowly, and shows the tips of his teeth.“I trust that is assured.” He has no need to utter a greater threat. There is no one in the galaxy who cannot be ground to dust under the heel of the House of Abrasax.

Title: Deeds of Gift [Chapter 11/20] Entitled Boogaloo Fandom: Jupiter Ascending Rating: T, eventual M Warnings: Canon-typical incestual vibes. Referenced and implied incest. Spoilers. Word Count: 47 236 and climbing Summary: (AU) Balem survives the events of the film, but is prevented from harvesting earth given the disastrous damages done to his main stockworks on Jupiter, and his own personal injury. Jupiter, cognizant of her age, realizes that to keep Earth out of Balem’s clutches, she’ll need to use RegenX-E.

A late arrival joins the party.

Excerpt

“Listen,” she says. “Let’s start again. Set some ground rules, this time.” Balem frowns at her, frowns at her hand where it rests on his shoulder. She looks, too, as if she had forgotten it there. “Such as?” he asks. “No yelling. No weird touching.” She takes her hand off his shoulder. “More asking for permission.” “This was not a part of our initial negotiations.” “Well, maybe it should have been.” Jupiter beckons another drink their way. Balem’s expression is difficult to read, but she can see it when he begins to suspect her motives. “I meant it when I said I don’t want to fight. I’m tired of fighting. Aren’t you tired of fighting?” This time, Balem is the first to drink. “I will consider it.” “That’s all I’m asking.” And she swallows down another mouthful of amber warmth, though this time with less intent to escape her skin. There’s a lull in the conversation, after that, but no silence. This lounge area, while quieter than the hall, cannot quite escape the thunderous music. It is also, curiously, one of the more familiar experiences Jupiter has had since her departure from Earth. She wants to ask how far away they are, but Balem is first to break the silence between them. “The others will want to speak with you,” he says, as if it is a warning. Jupiter laughs. “That’ll be interesting.”
