Thanks for the tag, @missameliep ❤️
My latest fics were posted in 2024 for King Liam Appreciation Week, I posted only three fics and one of them was simply an old fic rewritten... I don't know if I'm cheating, but I really liked everything I came up with the KLAW prompts, so I'll post them anyway 😁
1. Break - Part I revamped | Liam Rys X MC (Jade Bourbon)
While Maxwell waited outside the ladies room, Jade looked at herself in the mirror and heaved a sigh. She was a mess. Sure, she could fix her makeup and go back out there. But what for? Watching Madeleine snaking her hands over him? For more people to tell her how she became a pariah in the kingdom and should just leave? What was the point of all this anyway?
Turning on the sink, she washed her hands and placed them on the back of her neck to freshen up. She was still resolute not to give up. But for the night, she had enough.
As she walked out of the ladies room, Maxwell stood up from the settee with his usual encouraging smile.
"You seem better."
"Thanks..." She simpered. "Can I go back to my room now? We congratulated the happy couple, toasted, dined on their honor and blah blah blah..." Jade gesticulated as she twisted her lips in annoyance.
"Sure. I think the staff already has it cleaned. I'm kinda beat too."
"Let's go then."
Lacing arms with her friend, Jade walked towards the grand staircase.
2. Pause For Coffee | Liam Rys X MC (Jade Bourbon)
Blue, pink and purple hues painted the sky as Liam rested on the chaise lounge of his office before the last meeting of the day. Though this week has been calmer than usual, he still needed a couple of minutes before the video conference with Cordonian ambassador in the US. Returning to work after Elise's birth hasn't been easy. Fortunately, there's one thing that never failed to help him restore his energy.
"Your Majesty?" His assistant called after a soft knock on the door.
"Come in."
Carrying a tray with a cup of coffee and sparkling water, his assistant walked in and placed the tray on the side table. "Your coffee, sir."
"Thank you, Andrea."
As his assistant left, Liam smiled as the comforting smell of brewed coffee filled his lungs, bringing back memories of the day he tasted it for the first time.
3. Fallen Petals | Liam Rys X Madeleine, Liam Rys X MC ( Jade Bourbon)
"Thank you for coming!" Madeleine faked a smile and waved as the last guest left the grand hall. The countess then grumbled and extended her hand to her maid, who promptly squeezed a hand sanitizer on her palm.
Right next to her, Liam inhaled sharply. It still baffled him to remember that Leo endured Madeleine for three years. Keeping up appearances in front of guests was one thing. But when it was just them and the servants, it was so much harder. After all, that was exactly when Madeleine's true self would show.
"Your Majesty, your bedchambers are ready," Bastien whispered.
"Thank goodness," the King mumbled to his bodyguard, who pressed his lips together and nodded. Bastien certainly knew how obnoxious Madeleine could be.
"I beg your pardon?" Madeleine cut in.
"Bastien just informed me my room is ready and I thanked him. If you excuse me, I'd like to rest right now."
"Alright, you've been doing your part pretty well, Your Majesty." Madeleine smirked.
"Not as well as you do, sweetheart," Liam retorted as he walked towards the stairs.

Oh, how I've missed this particular little corner of this hellsite ❤️
Dani, I swear five minutes ago, I was thinking "what are the odds of logging in and finding a really good post about a ship/story I like?" And then I logged in and this is the first notification
Seriously, you're awesome, Dani! And this is so good, so well crafted! Thank you for posting this and tagging me 😘
This character profile was created specifically to fit King Liam on Liam and Jade's Love Story universe. I unfortunately don't own the character, I don't assume to know everything about him and I have no intention to affirm this is exactly who he is and how other people should write him. I'm merely a hardcore enthusiast of this lovely character and I do my best to keep his essence while adding a few headcanons of my own;
Though I mostly write canon compliant fics in L&JLS, Lena isn't included in this character profile because I haven't played TRF and I personally don't know how relevant she would be for the series.
Name: Liam Rys
Nationality: Cordonian
Birthdate: January 10, 1990
Hometown: Cordonian capital
Current Residence: Cordonian capital / Duchy of Valtoria, Cordonia
Occupation: Politician, Head of State of Cordonia
Titles: His Royal Majesty of Cordonia, Colonel-in-Chief of Cordonian Army, Duke of Valtoria, Patron of the University of Cordonia, Patron of the National Museum of Cordonia, Patron of the National Library of Cordonia
Parents: Constantine Rys and Eleanor Rys (both deceased)
Siblings: Leo Rys
Spouse: Jade Isabel Bourbon-Rys
Children: Elise Valentina Bourbon-Rys, Louis Philipe Bourbon-Rys, Sophie Eleanor Bourbon-Rys
Closest relatives: Regina Rys (stepmother), Ava Mei Tsui-Rys (niece), Emma Zhen Tsui-Rys (niece), Daphne Wang-Foredale (fourth cousin)
Background: Second son of King Constantine Rys and Queen Eleanor Rys, Liam is a kind-hearted, polite and sophisticated man with impressive diplomatic skills. Though he wasn't raised to be king, he was prepared from a very young age to serve the Cordonian Crown taking etiquette lessons, politics, philosophy, learning different languages (aside from English, he's fluent in Greek, Spanish, French and Italian) and even dancing and survival skills. While growing up, he was a free-spirited kid and had more opportunities to enjoy his childhood with his friends and the Walker family than his older brother.
After his mother's tragic passing, Liam became a reserved person, taking his role in the Royal family more seriously. With time, Liam grew apart from Drake (who left to the US to go to college) and joined the Royal Air Force to please his father. A few months after, the Royal family suffered an assassination attempt. Liam developed signs of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, avoiding social interactions, having trouble sleeping, being easily frightened/startled and showing some physical symptoms of panick (sweating, nausea, trembling). Leo asked Drake to return to the palace to help Liam, both encouraging the young prince to seek therapy.
As he got better, Liam enrolled in the University of Cordonia to study History and returned to the Royal Air Force. Liam had plans to follow an academic career when Leo abdicated the throne. After Liam got his major degree, he was formally introduced as the Crown Prince and officially prepared to rule the Kingdom. Though it was a drastic change of path in his life that required many sacrifices, Liam adjusted to the life of future monarch quite fast, undeniably enjoying the perks of using the many skills he had developed over the years to make a difference as a politician.
What's his family like?
Constantine wasn't a present parent, nor a father who easily showed affection towards his sons. Liam was mostly raised by his mother and a few nanies and tutors. Eleanor constantly talked about the importance of Constantine's role as king and father not just for their family but for the entire country, which is why Liam always looked up to his father.
Eleanor was a loving mother to him and his brother, but also disciplined them when necessary. She shared her love for reading, writing and History with Liam. Her passing had an enormous impact on Liam's life and personality. He still misses her dearly and visits her whenever he can. He always takes a bouquet of jasmines to her grave on Mother's day and on her birthday.
Being six years younger than Leo, the brothers always had divergences, often teasing each other, Leo and Liam played pranks that usually led to getting both of the. in trouble while growing up. Yet, Leo always knew Liam was a better fit for the Crown and has always been a protective of his baby brother, taking the blame for himself whenever Liam did something wrong, defending his brother from malicious comments and insults, helping him during his first months as Crown Prince and teaching him self-defense and mixed martial arts. Liam looks up to his brother and fully supports the lifepath and choices his older brother makes.
Regina entered the Royal family a few years after Eleanor's passing. Despite her usual commanding presence towards her stepsons, she cares for them deeply. Liam has great respect and fondness towards Regina.
Liam doesn't have a long list of relatives he's truly close to. The only exception are the Foredales, specially Lady Daphne.
Favourite childhood memory: Playing with Drake and Maxwell around the palace, trips to the Walkers ranch and summers at Applewood Manor.
Nicknames: He didn't use to have nicknames while growing up, but he loves all the petnames Jade has given him.
Hobbies: reading, horse riding, sailing, playing guitar, singing, writing
Top 5 songs:
The Seasons, op. 37a: VI. June "Barcarolle" - Piotr Ilitch Tchaikovski
Requiem: Lacrimosa - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Bachianas Brasileiras n°1 - Heitor Villa Lobos
And I Love Her - Beatles
Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton
Favorite books:
The Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka
Dubliners - James Joyce
Hamlet - William Shakespeare
Charneca em Flor - Florbela Espanca
Jane Eyre - Emily Brontë
Favorite movies:
Star Trek (1979)
Matrix (1999)
The Lord of Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2011) [he likes all the LOTR saga, but the first one is his favorite]
Black Swan (2010)
Lion (2016)
Favorite TV shows: Liam enjoys watching anything that gets his mind out of his life. He grew up watching The X-Files and Firefly with Drake and Maxwell. A friend introduced him to Death Note during his teenhood and it blew him away. Nowadays, he likes watching Stranger Things and Arcane by himself, but he often watches comedies like Friends and Parks and Recreation with Jade.
Biggest guilty pleasure: he's getting addicted to watching videos of people building things from scratch like furniture, houses or doing crafts. In any spare time he has, he will watch people building furniture out of bamboo, small cabins in the woods and intricate craftsmanship like jewelry design, intarsia and pastry sculpture.
Sweet or savoury? Sweet.
Favorite food: Baklava, chicken tagine, apple pie, any sort of pasta.
Favourite drinks: coffee (the stronger, the better), vanilla milkshake, wine, scotch.
Most treasured possessions:
A Lion Cross Royal Crown designed for his thirtieth birthday;
A small double bladed dagger that belonged to his ancestor Queen Kenna Rys;
Photo albums with many pictures of his family and friends
A Statue of Liberty keychain given by his wife on his coronation night;
Jade cufflinks given by his wife during the trip to China;
His wedding band;
His children's baby teeth (the kids find it gross, but Jade and him proudly keep them in the family safe).
Close Friends: Drake Walker, Maxwell Beaumont, Hana Lee, Bertrand Beaumont, Leo Rys
Goals for the future: Liam has many goals for Cordonia such as bringing back economic stability to the country, hosting big events that will increase tourism, supporting projects involving environmental sustainability, arts, culture and philanthropy, etc. But in his personal life, he simply wants to travel around the world with Jade, watch his children grow and spend as much time as he can with his loved ones.
Dog lover or cat lover?
Dog lover. He loves strolling with the family corgis. But he also likes Jade's cats and encourages his kids to have any domestic animals as long as they actually take care of them.
Early bird or night owl?
Early bird. But he can't deny he loves late nights with his wife.
How does he relax after a bad day?
It depends gon how bad the day was. On a not so bad day, half an hour listening to music (he has a soothing playlist on Spotify) when he needs to slow down will do. He goes horse riding or walking when he needs to clear his head. But on really tough days, he'll go to the gym to practice any sort of martial arts. Muay Thai and Krav Maga are his favorites.
Personality: INFJ-T (Turbulent Advocate)
Idealistic and principled, people with the INFJ personality type (Advocates) aren’t content to coast through life – they want to stand up and make a difference. For these compassionate personalities, success doesn’t come from money or status but from seeking fulfillment, helping others, and being a force for good in the world.
Thoughtful and often selfless, INFJ personalities pour a great deal of energy and care into their relationships, but this doesn’t mean that they always feel appreciated in return. People with this personality type tend to slow down and really evaluate how what they do might impact others before they take action. Consequently, it can frustrate them when other people don’t recognize their good intentions. INFJs are very sensitive to criticism of any kind and can take things very personally. A few close relationships, provided that they’re genuine, can fill INFJs’ hearts to the brim.
One random headcanon: Liam joined the Cordonian Royal Air Force when he was nineteen. He was progressively rising on RAF ranks (he reached Flight Lieutenant rank) and was in his third year studying History when Leo abdicated the throne. He still pilots helicopters and small planes from time to time, but since he doesn't fly often, he has never piloted any aircraft with his children in it. He took Jade a few times when they were newlyweds (it involved a lot of begging and persuasion on her part), but there was always an aircraft pilot team on board just in case.
(personal note here: I've met real life health professionals with similar motivation to work and I have to say that knowing them and what they do everyday is one of the reasons I still have faith in humanity)
I just realised I never chose any other option because I see Evelyn trusting Rafael without any fear of judgement. She probably wouldn't tell Ramsey though.
But now I'm wondering what happens if MC choose not to tell him 🤔
Last time I posted, Evelyn just found out about Mrs. Martinez, everyone was sad, yada yada yada... (Sorry, I didn't think Mrs Martinez was relevant to the plot until she got a tombstone of her own)
But fortunately, we'll start with the good stuff
I just laughed at the possibility of choosing between Ramsey and Rafael because 1) I will obviously choose Raf, and 2) knowing how book two will go, I already can feel the pain of not having that chance in the future.
I know it's been a while... Lots of stuff going irl and very little time fangirling. Have I mentioned how much adulting sucks?
I haven't been totally MIA. I log in here sometimes, but I haven't posted anything new because guess what?
For now, I'll try to finish Rafael Aveiro Project playthroughs and if the urge to write again comes to me for any of my stories, I'll try to write.
I unfortunately can't dedicate as much time as I did before to fanfiction. I'll be here, but without a schedule (not that I had one before 😅) and no (self-)pressure. Hopefully...
Author’s note: This is late submission to @choicesnovchallenge2021. Yes, there will be many of those. Original characters are creations of this author. The others are owned by Pixelberry Studios.
Book: Open Heart
Pairing: Rafael Aveiro x F!MC (Evelyn Bennington)
Rating: T
Word count: 12
Reading time: ~5min
Summary: Evelyn helps out Rafael moving into his new home and learns more about him.
Based on the prompts: Choices November Challenge - day three: tradition / culture
Evelyn opens a box and starts cleaning a few objects when Rafael walks in with a large box. For some reason she can’t fathom, she has been looking forward to all week helping her boyfriend settle into his new apartment. She does wish to be supportive to him since he’s going through a phase of making big changes in his life. But something tells her it’s more than all this.
“Last box!” Rafael beams as he puts it down on the floor.
“Yay!” She cheers. “Now come help me out here. It’s your apartment and it has to be decorated by you, not me.”
.How cute Evelyn helping Rafael with the new house
.About washing the bathroom, it’s so true, I already washed my bathroom today and Vovó is right.
.I LOVED A LOT, Rafael’s birth story, how did you think about it? It is perfect!
.Now I’m going to have to draw the child Rafael with long hair and the adult Rafael with long hair, I need to see this!!!
I LOVED I LOVED I LOVED
thanks for bringing my dose of Rafael and sharing your talent with us!
Lol though I understand that some parts of a home can’t be cleaned with disinfectant and water, the bathroom is unacceptable. It has to be cleaned properly, right? I can’t with this idea of “adding a product and using a cloth ou a sponge”.
I don’t know why I chose this backstory for Rafael. I just needed a reason for him to have a long hair and this idea came to me. Oh, if you ever draw Rafael with long hair, it’d amazing 😍
Thank you so much for reading and for your kind words, Sabrina 💕
Reblogging this because: 1) it's missing Rafael hours; 2) it's daydreaming about writing fanfic hours and; 3) it's also missing having a healthy back and cleaning my bathroom like a born and bred Brazilian would hours 😕
Happy fandom shoutout day! 💛 I just wanted to send a little kindness your way and let you know you’re appreciated. You make this fandom a brighter and more wonderful place just by being part of it! I hope today brings you something that makes you smile! 🫶
Dani, I'm touched that you remembered me even though I'm not as active as I used to be. I truly appreciate all your contributions to the fandom and your efforts to spread kindness ❤️
Thank you so much for this and I hope you have a wonderful weekend 😘
Ngl, I'm not sure who's the character on the right. Is it the white male character from Blades the fandom was obsessed with? It's been a while since I played Blades or (and Choices books actually) and as far as I know, PB loves to reuse characters, so what do I know? 🤷🏻♀️
Anyway, if it's him, I think @missameliep is more qualified to talk about this possible crackship.
search up fashion, pantone, mood, food, and then save the first picture that comes up.
Thanks for tagging me, @rosesnink 😘
Pinterest didn't actually get the first option in fashion (sweater and mini skirt? Really!? Damn, Pinterest... I thought we had a connection 🤡), but the second one is sooo on point (I'd so wear a leather jacket like that if I lived in a city with cold weather) and yes to the pantone, mood and food
Tagging @missameliep @winterkeys and anyone who wants to join this tag game.
Edit: this post is almost 2 years old now but as I'm still finding my old mutuals, I'll keep this pinned 💗
UHHHH SO I ACCIDENTALLY ENDED UP DELETING MY ENTIRE TUMBLR ACCOUNT 😭😭😭😭😭 so this is just signal boost post for all my mutuals here!! If you see this post or see my new follow notif in your notes please do follow back 😭
Bryce and Olivia enjoying a seaside picnic on a beautiful summer day! Art by the lovely artbyainna (IG)
I commissioned this forever ago (like 1-2 years🙈) and have just never posted it. I had wanted to write a fic for it to go with this year's @choicescommunity Picnic, but life had other plans and hasn't allowed me to do so... yet (hoping that maybe I can still do it at some point). But for now, please enjoy this art.
Despite all that's going on in my life right now, these two still make me smile! They are sunshine and I'm grateful for them!
