Rafayel talks too much.
Your gaze is locked on his lips. His mouth is always working overtime, you think– rambles upon rambles on the newest material he found for paint– the absolute perfect shade of lilac, the shallow cut on his thumb that hurt oh-so-much, snippets of his time with the little crabs on Whitesand Bay, complaints on how you were late by 2 minutes and 28 seconds to meet him today– oh, what didn’t he tell you about? A grin made its way on your face. You really loved it. You really loved him.
You watch as Rafayel’s lips press into a thin line. He probably raised an eyebrow too.
“Are you even listening, miss bodyguard?”
“Hm?” you mumble, still adorning that stupid grin.
Rafayel snickers as he follows your gaze. He knows exactly what you’re looking at.
“Someone’s distracted.” He smirks, leaning closer.
You tilt your head playfully. “Nuh uh, keep going fishie. My cute little fishie. My cutest favouritest little fishie-” you suddenly coo, eyes curving into crescents as you raise your hands to squish his cheeks. Your grin grows wider as you spot Rafeyel’s ears flushing a bright crimson. “You’re so cute. I just wanna smooch your face all over,” you whisper, nuzzling into him.
He freezes. His sunset eyes are wide and boring into yours as you give him a lil' kiss on his nose– faces so close your lashes tickle his cheekbones. Relaxing your hands, you slide your palms down to cup his jaw instead.
Rafayel stays still. He swears he can hear his heart pounding; goosebumps rise in the wake of your touch and the heat on his cheeks is getting impossibly warm. He parts his lips–
“Glub glub?” you tease.
– and immediately closes them.
Rafayel’s brows furrow and he crosses his arms across his chest; furiously blushing and all. You giggle. He pouts, turning his face to the other side with an exaggerated “Hmph!” as you scoot closer to him on the couch.
“You were not listening!” he fumes in protest. His eyes flit to the sofa's handle, the open windows, the empty cups of tea on the low table– anything but your intent eyes. “And," he pauses, sighing dramatically– "there’s so much more I wanted to say but now I forgot everything…” He sulks, pouting even more.
You kiss his cheek. “You were talking ‘bout the crabs, sweetie.”
"That's all you heard?!"
You unfold his stubborn arms with a little hum as you lean over to press your lips on his other cheek. "You were also telling me about the cut on your thumb. Does it hurt? Want me to kiss it better?"
With a lopsided smile, you glide your fingers along the side of his jaw before cupping his chin and gently turning his face to yours.
Rafayel huffs.
"Ugh. Fine. Maybe."
"Maybe?" You feign hurt and pull yourself away from him, eyes sparkling with mirth. He quickly grabs your waist, pulling you back onto your spot beside him. He needed you closer.
"Yes! Yes.” His voice lowers. “Whatever."
You grin. He avoids your gaze, but you feel his warm hands slide over your hips as he pulls you onto his lap. The pads of his thumbs circle your lower back as you settle down comfortably; thighs on either side of his body. Chest flush against his, the purple head of hair you loved so much to mess up tucked right under your chin. You let out a soft gasp as he nuzzles up the length of your neck, brushing his lips along your jaw. Heat spreads across your face. You feel him shift.
Rafayel looks up at you.
The evening light casts him in a gentle glow; the exposed skin from his shirt emitting a radiance akin to the shores of Whitesand Bay. Serene flames dance in his eyes as he holds your gaze. The tips of his ears are a muted flush of pink now, his pout replaced with the softened smile you knew so well.
A hand snakes up the column of your throat to cup your jaw. He tenderly pulls you down, leaving only a breath of space in between. His eyes hold a magnetic intensity that leaves you quiet. Waiting.
Rafayel tilts his head, brushing his nose against your cheekbone. You bite your lip. His gaze shifts to it, his thumb gently pressing down on the plushness. Eyes back on yours, he whispers.
"Kiss it better then, cutie."

i need someone to write on lads li with their partner SCARED of intimacy
reverse comfort because I often see vice-versa, but I crave desperately the reassurance they’d give, how patient they would be. Rafayel cracking not because he’s feeling vulnerable, but because the love of his life is. sylus quiet never intruding their(reader’s) personal space unless they initiate (kinda canon). not even a kiss lol. zayne understanding the struggle and maybe too blunt as always, but oh zayne…..
badass is cool but i wish there were other things to relate to. like…. the above
rafayel would be so cute 😭 first time you lean in to lay your head on his lap or chest and he just freezes completely
my unpopular opinion is that pips is 100x worse than pipsqueak

thinking abt Caleb’s big dick </3
you want to blame it on him, say it’s his fault and swear that he does it on purpose. but you know he’s not. he can’t help it that he’s so deliciously hung.
somehow he manages to tuck it into his pants in just the right way that leaves you wondering, but behind closed doors when the day is said and done it’s like he sets it loose. he walks around in his boxers or a baggy pair of pj pants, ones that barely contain the sizable bulge that tents under his waistband.
he’s not trying to seduce you but it works all the same.
you almost feel bad when he catches you ogling him. those pretty purple puppy dog eyes gaze down at you with a sinful innocence that makes you huff.
it’s thick and heavy. so so heavy it makes you drool just thinking about the feeling of it in your hands. it stands tall and proud and so pathetically hard for you. it’s pretty. so pretty in the way it seems to challenge you when it twitches and bobs for your attention.
he knows it’s big but he doesn’t know it’s big. he’s just been hauling it around with him all this time not knowing how full it’d make you. how you cry and push your palm against his abs as he humps in and out of you.
“too much too much!” you’d slur into the sheets and he wouldn’t know what to do. is his dick not supposed to be this big?? is he hurting you?? is it normal to feel every twitch and clench of your pussy from all sides like he is right now?? because it’s making him lose his damn mind.
“are you okay? d-does it hurt?” his voice is light but rough as if it was ripped from his diaphragm. the fingers that hold your waist tighten and dip into your skin as he forces himself to slow down.
you pant absentmindedly in response. your core burns violently in the best way possible. Caleb hits every spot all at once and each thrust stretches you out so good. his cock head kisses your g spot so firmly yet so tender, sending you spiraling into a filthy mess. he’s not even going as hard as you told him to and you’re about to cum all over him anyway.
“pips.” he calls. the bed dips beside your head as he leans over you, pressing a loving kiss to your temple and nuzzling into your cheek with his nose. your cunt hasn’t stopped trying to suck him in and he whines and whimpers into your neck in feeble resistance.
“i’m here. just—Caleb, you’re so biggg.” you drawl. “you give it to me so good can’t take it.”
he pulls away to look at you and his lips part to speak but the sexiest moan rips from his throat to interrupt him as you rut your hips back into him. his girthy length slides and catches on all the right ridges and you cry in ecstasy.
the coil in his abdomen suddenly snaps and he’s pumping the fattest of loads right into your womb and you feel it in your throat, the addicting heat swirls in your stomach and the gift keeps giving. it starts to spurt and leak, leaving a milky ring around the base of him, some spilling out to stain the sheets. ‘i’m sorry i’m sorry i’m sorry’ his lips brush the shell of your ear as he chants and his chest presses into your back to anchor you.
all you can hear is the deafening squelching of his seed getting fucked into you and his pitchy wails of your name.
no wonder he’s so big. he’s just so full of creamy white love for you can you feel it? you’ll take it all for him right? :(
Hogwarts House Sorting: LaDs Edition (and why Caleb isn't who you think he is)
Remember: Hogwarts houses aren’t restrictive boxes. Each person, real or fictional, carries traits from all houses. What determines sorting is not only personality but core values and priorities. This analysis takes into account that nice Slytherins and gentle Gryffindors exist, breaking stereotypes to portray a nuanced, realistic perspective. Let me know your thoughts and your own house headcanons!
Xavier – Primary: Gryffindor | Secondary: Slytherin
Though Xavier outwardly appears gentle and calm, his behavior aligns with core Gryffindor traits: courage, impulsivity, and rebelliousness against injustice. He's not merely courageous out of circumstance; he actively seeks out risks. His creation of the flashy alter-ego "Lumiere" showcases his bravery - and perhaps recklessness - perfectly embodying Gryffindor's inclination toward flashy acts of heroism. His decision to rebel against his royal lineage in Philos, openly defying his father the king who sacrificed innocent lives, further emphasizes his alignment with Gryffindor values - specifically, moral courage. Xavier willingly sacrifices personal safety and stability to fight for what's right and travels back in time, reflecting true Gryffindor spirit. Reasoning for secondary Slytherin: He is sneaky and a little manipulative at times and fully knows what effect his innocent looks have - and uses that to his advantage. You notice this especially during Fluffy Trap. Somehow he is always a few steps ahead of MC and tricks her!
Positive: Courageous, protective, strong moral compass, heroic.
Negative: Reckless, impulsive, stubborn, often acts without foresight.
Zayne – Primary: Ravenclaw | Secondary: Hufflepuff
Zayne's core value truly lies in his relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding. Importantly, intelligence alone doesn't warrant a Ravenclaw placement - it's the priority given to knowledge and wisdom that defines them. Zayne consistently demonstrates that acquiring knowledge - medical or metaphysical - isn't merely practical for him; it's essential to who he is and what he wants to accomplish (saving MC's life). As the Foreseer and Master of Fate, Zayne’s life revolves around carefully acquired knowledge to make decisions of enormous consequence. His choices are rarely guided by impulse or emotion alone, but always supported by intellectual clarity. His calm, methodical approach underscores his Ravenclaw essence. Reasoning for secondary Hufflepuff: Beneath his logical, stoic exterior, Zayne consistently demonstrates deep-rooted loyalty, compassion, and genuine care. His medical profession and the tireless effort he invests to protect and heal highlight his sincere dedication to the well-being of others. His actions are not driven by glory or recognition, but by quiet, steadfast commitment and genuine empathy.
Positive: Wise, analytical, thoughtful, innovative, responsible.
Negative: Detached emotionally, overly analytical, may appear cold or indifferent.
Rafayel – Primary: Slytherin | Secondary: Ravenclaw
Rafayel strongly aligns with the house of Slytherin through his complex motivations, secrecy, and charm. His playful exterior masks carefully concealed ambitions and plans. His network within the N109 zone and hidden dealings demonstrate his adeptness at navigating complex social dynamics - classic Slytherin traits of cunning and adaptability. His artistic temperament and charisma further illustrate how Slytherins can embody traits often associated with other houses, like creativity and charm, while still prioritizing ambition, resourcefulness, and strategy as their core values. Rafayel exemplifies that Slytherins can have good hearts but choose to show vulnerability selectively, preserving an enigmatic persona. He keeps his cards very close and even MC gets to see them very rarely. Reasoning for secondary Ravenclaw: He’s deeply artistic, driven by a curiosity for truth, meaning, and beauty. These qualities align well with Ravenclaw’s love for learning, creativity, and understanding deeper meanings. His exploration of art as a means to expose societal corruption and his intellectual depth behind each masterpiece clearly display Ravenclaw traits.
Positive: Charismatic, strategic, resourceful, artistic, adaptable.
Negative: Secretive, occasionally manipulative, holds grudges, guarded emotionally.
Sylus – Primary: Slytherin | Secondary: Hufflepuff
Sylus is the epitome of modern, multifaceted Slytherins. Ambition and cunning don’t inherently equate to villainy; Sylus demonstrates Slytherin's core traits positively and negatively. He is deeply ambitious and maintains strategic long-term thinking, always planning steps ahead. His network of connections, meticulous strategies, and hidden plans further highlight his resourcefulness and adaptability - key Slytherin virtues. Yet Sylus also showcases a softer, family-oriented side, demonstrating that Slytherins deeply value loyalty and closeness, particularly within tight-knit circles. He’s fiercely protective of those he genuinely cares for, and despite his outward harshness, this selective loyalty underscores a balanced, nuanced Slytherin personality. Reasoning for secondary Hufflepuff: I can't really tell you why - it's just a feeling. I don't have a lot of his cards, but I did watch some of them on YT. You can tell me in the comments what you think. (this applies to the other LIs too)
Positive: Ambitious, resourceful, strategic, family-oriented, selectively loyal.
Negative: Manipulative, secretive, mistrustful, sometimes morally ambiguous.
Caleb – Primary: Hufflepuff | Secondary: Ravenclaw
Caleb embodies the genuine warmth and humble spirit often overlooked when discussing Hufflepuffs. While traditionally bravery is a Gryffindor trait, Caleb’s bravery is more circumstantial than inherent; life forced him into courageous roles rather than him seeking them out. His core identity is rooted deeply in kindness, gentleness, loyalty, and humility - all quintessential Hufflepuff values. Caleb’s universal kindness, even to those he's not romantically interested in, emphasizes his innate empathy and respect for others. He's beloved by peers not because he's overtly charismatic, but because he's genuinely thoughtful and attentive. He cooks and enjoys food - not for validation or prestige - but for the simple joy of it and to see his loved ones enjoy it, deeply resonating with Hufflepuff’s comfort-oriented nature. His protective behavior towards the MC arises not from a desire to be a hero, but from trauma-induced loyalty and deep-seated love. This fierce loyalty, shaped by childhood trauma, is the hallmark of a Hufflepuff pushed beyond comfort into challenging circumstances. It’s precisely this loyalty and quiet strength that makes Caleb a true Hufflepuff, not Gryffindor. (He is basically Cedric Diggory - just more alive ... barely.) Reasoning for secondary Ravenclaw: He shows great intellectual capacity, strategic thinking, and analytical clarity. He adapts to complicated situations (this is an understatement) using intellect, precision, and careful planning. Caleb attempts to find logical ways to cope and protect even in traumatic circumstances. His genuine curiosity, analytical problem-solving, and sharp observational skills reflect Ravenclaw characteristics beneath his Hufflepuff core.
Positive: Loyal, empathetic, humble, compassionate, steadfast., kind.
Negative: Overly self-sacrificing, can be obsessive, passive-aggressive under stress.

MC – Primary: Gryffindor | Secondary: ???
MC’s Gryffindor traits are unmistakable. At her core, bravery, competition, and the desire for truth and justice guide her actions. She doesn't simply endure challenges; she actively seeks them out, recklessly engaging in dangerous missions and confrontations. Her grief-induced impulsivity and rebelliousness also fit Gryffindor perfectly, as she channels loss and trauma into daring missions without a thorough plan. However, this recklessness is balanced by genuine bravery and a powerful drive to protect and avenge those she loves. Her pursuit of justice - even when dangerous or irrational - is a defining characteristic, making her a Gryffindor through and through.
Positive: Courageous, determined, loyal, passionate about justice.
Negative: Impulsive, stubborn, reckless, tends to leap before looking.
But Caleb is definitely a Slytherin you say?
It makes sense why people would place Caleb into Slytherin based on his Colonel arc. But personally, I see Caleb's "cunning" and manipulation not as inherent character values, but as coping mechanisms shaped by trauma and survival instinct. It's important to distinguish between a person's true core values and the traits they've been forced to develop under extreme circumstances. Caleb’s story is one of deep emotional trauma - losing loved ones, being subjected to invasive experiments, and being manipulated into a position he never truly wanted. He didn’t choose cunning or ambition willingly; rather, those became survival tools in response to severe situations he faced. (it's more like his Ravenclaw side coming to the forefront to help him survive) In his youth, Caleb was naturally kind, humble, and nurturing - classic Hufflepuff traits. He didn't seek power, nor did he find joy in manipulation or secrecy. The Colonel storyline showcases a deeply hurt and scarred person fighting for the little control left in his life, driven primarily by loyalty and protectiveness toward MC. His methods might resemble those traditionally associated with Slytherin, but his motivations remain firmly rooted in loyalty, compassion, and the desire for a peaceful, simple life. Additionally, Hufflepuffs aren't devoid of complexity - they can exhibit cunning, resourcefulness, and determination when their loved ones are threatened. These traits aren't exclusive to Slytherins; what differentiates the houses is the underlying core value. For Caleb, cunning isn't an inherent value; it's a tragic necessity. At his core, he's guided by warmth, empathy, and loyalty - the values of a true Hufflepuff pushed into a darker, harsher reality. So, while Caleb absolutely shows "cunning" and resourcefulness, these traits alone don't define him. They're reactions, not values. At heart, Caleb is still that caring, emotionally intelligent Hufflepuff trying desperately to protect the person he loves most, even if he must walk a morally gray path to do so. Caleb is such a deeply nuanced character. He isn’t embracing cunning because it aligns with his heart - he’s forced into it by circumstances beyond his control. Caleb is essentially walking a tightrope, pretending to be the cold, calculating Colonel that EVER expects him to be (the perfect weapon), precisely because that's the only way he can maintain some small degree of freedom and protect himself (and MC) from their control. The Toring Chip isn't just a physical implant - it's symbolic of the trauma and manipulation he's endured (and is still enduring). Caleb's actions and outward persona reflect not his true nature, but his desperate fight to keep that nature intact beneath the surface. His core Hufflepuff kindness and empathy never disappear; they're hidden behind the mask he must wear to survive. It's a heartbreaking struggle between his authentic self and the identity EVER wants to impose upon him. That’s precisely why calling Caleb a cunning Slytherin overlooks the heart of his character - he isn't ambitious or manipulative by choice, nor does he derive satisfaction or pride from it. He's a victim of cunning, not its master.
Caleb: Honey look, I don’t want space, okay? I don’t want anyone to have space. I want to be standing right in front of you. I want the air that you breathe to be the air coming directly from out of my mouth. I want to pass air back and forth between us until it’s mostly carbon dioxide and then we both pass out and die.
MC: Okay, calm down. I was just asking if I'm taking too much space on the bed.
Rafayel actually loves when he uses his car after you.
Yeah, the rear-view mirror is tilted a little awkwardly and his side mirrors are pushed too far out. And yeah, the Bluetooth is still hooked to your phone and you may have a hair tie or two that you forgot to take with you and maybe there’s some extra change you’d left in the cup holder by mistake. And of course, his knees almost touch the dash and his head grazes the ceiling from his new chair settings.
But you did it. Because you were there. In his car.
He has traces of you everywhere and he holds that so dear to his heart. Especially when it’s on something of his.
What they're like when they're drunk:
(Requested)
Zayne: I think we all already know. God, he can't stop kissing you, can't stop touching you. There's only one way this is going to end.
Xavier: He's out like a light. One moment he's drinking next to you and the next he's sleeping on the table. He might babble a few incomprehensible things.
Rafayel: We've seen him drunk too. His face gets quite red, and he turns strangely solemn and sincere towards you. Good for heartfelt conversations.
Sylus: He drinks regularly and has a high tolerance. It's rare to see him drunk. But it's easy to know he's drunk because he will be quieter, pulling you onto his lap to hold you, just staying there in silence.
Caleb: Triple threat. Clingy, blushy and prone to crying. Please get him off the floor and give him some cuddles stat.
Pt 1
Continuation of the Selkie!Rafayel AU! 🦭🦭🦭 Save a seal, you may or may not accidentally acquire a clingy husband doing so
Selkie Rafayel AU ! 🦭🦭🦭
Instead of being kidnapped and whisked away from the ocean like the folklore, he just bothers and willingly gives up his selkie skin to the poor horrified and confused local who he's horribly smitten with
engraved carabiners
Rafayel giving you attitude the whole day long ever since waking up and when you finally get him to talk and tell you what’s wrong, he says that in his dream, you were married to someone else and it counts as cheating- nightmare or no
And you just… stand there processing what he’s just said, slowly blinking at him- because for all the oddities of his colorful personality and your friendship, the two of you are not dating
At least not to your knowledge. And seeing how he is all red to the tips of his ears, he seems to have just remembered of the fact as well
