hi, sorry i'm kinda new here. the temporary "romance" in book 5 will be someone that is interested in MC, that MC encourages or discourages, in all romance routes? thanks!

The temporary romance will only be for A's route. It's been a plot point I've had planned since Adam/Ava came into existence, so I'm very excited to write it, hehe! :D

Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for the ask! :)

[seraphinitegames]

if the mc asked their LI in unit bravo to bite them, who would oblige them, if any?

(im sorry if this has been asked before 😭I'm new)

Ok...because my mind apparently is in the gutter most of the time...do you mean bite them as in bite them in an, uh, intimate way, or bite them as in proper full-on vampire bite? Lol! :D

If in an intimate way:

I think the only ones who would feel comfortable enough to do that would be F and M.

F, having always been a vampire, knows they can do such acts without losing control.

M, though never really into biting because of the vampire thing, would definitely try it with the MC.

...Eh, though saying that...possibly that would only happen earlier in the relationship. Not at the stage they are in Book Four because...well, you'll see in Book Four ;D

A wouldn't because they would be scared of losing control.

And N wouldn't because they wouldn't be scared, they'd be ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED of losing control.

If you meant bite in a full-on vampire way...then that would lead into spoiler territory ;D

Thank you so much for the ask! :)

Hi! Long time wayhaven reader for years here; i have a long list of MCs that i play with (two canon for each LI, sometimes more if i get another fun idea) but i realized recently that i’ve never actually played as MYSELF. Like, not choosing the options that i LIKE, but choosing the options that i’d ACTUALLY do in real life. And it was such an interesting experience/discovery that i thought i’d share with you!

So, my usual go-to choices are the sarcastic, funny dialogue quips bc they’re hilarious and entertaining. But i’d never actually do that in real life, i’d be way too worried about coming across as mean lol! And at the end of all the books, my stats were so enlightening! i realized how much of my real life responses and reactions are actually just about people pleasing; not wanting to come across as rude or cause conflict, etc. It made me really question my personality like, WHO AM I UNDERNEATH ALL THE PEOPLE PLEASING??!? LOL. And of course, i as the MC would warm up to unit bravo over time and let my true personality start to shine through, but by that point my stats are pretty cemented and it was just a huge wake up call for me, introspectively speaking. It was a super interesting experience and makes me more conscious about expressing my true thoughts/feelings irl rather than just doing stuff to keep the peace!

Another interesting development was that, while Adam is the love of my life and one of my allllll time favorite love interests in any book/game series, i realized i wouldn’t actually go for him irl! His abrasiveness at the beginning would be really intimidating to me, and i found myself cozying up to Nate more and more as book 1 went on! Which was super heartbreaking for me as far as Adam is concerned, bc i really do love that man, but also really interesting to me for Nate! Nate usually was one of the last romance routes i would play, not bc i didn’t like him but just bc i love angst and enemies to lovers and all that messy stuff in stories, and him being so nice and sweet wasn’t all that interesting to me. But boy did that change when i started playing as myself! i think it’s easy to forget when you’re reading a story just how much having someone good and kind is really valued in real life. i was shocked to find myself really falling for him, and the romance felt so much more personal and real bc i was being myself, yknow?? Like he loved *ME*, not an MC i created. It was such an unexpected and exciting turn of events lol! Now i absolutely adore Nate and he feels so special to me, much more personal to my heart rather than just liking him as a character.

Which just makes the love triangle route THAT much harder lol!!! While i’ve always loveddd the LT route for the angst, it had never truly been THAT difficult of a decision for me bc i knew i wanted Adam. But now i want them BOTH and it makes it that much harder to play my two MCs for that route, bc when i choose one i also want the other!!! Needless to say, i am basically living the actual life of that love triangle MC and trust me, i get it now LOL

i do love M and F as well, but that’s what i’ve been going through recently and i wanted to share it all with you incase you found it interesting that your characters and writing can affect me like this lol!!! Sorry for such the long ask. Always your fan, i admire your writing and work ethic so much. Hope you’re taking care of yourself ❤️

Wow, what an incredible experience! :D

Writing the 'people-pleasing' options is always interesting because some of the vamps can tell it's people-pleasing, and I like throwing it in occasionally when the vamps are like 'Don't just smile and pass it off' kind of responses!

I'm glad it let you discover so much! (And if you love angst, don't worry, that's still coming for N...)

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing message! It's incredible to know that people are still loving the story and characters and connecting with it! It means more than you will ever know <3

[seraphinitegames]

Hi. Let me start by saying I love your work. I'm replaying, having F as my RI. We're doing combat training and the MC says 'Swooping is bad'. I have to ask if that's a Dragon Age reference?

Oh yeah, for sure that's a Dragon Age easter egg, hehe! :D

Thank you so much for the ask! :)

Started this picture of Emmrich probably a year ago or something, and finally finished this perhaps a month prior but never posted it, so hereee weee goooo

Confession:

"The fact that Donovan who on a bigger scale is actually less evil than characters like Malek and Malbonte is hated and considered the "old hag" of her book, while they're are loved just shows how anti women this fandom is. You know if this was a man instead he would be requested to become a LI and every "mistreatment" of Lane would be viewed as erotic instead."

On tonight’s episode of: I play Shakespeare’s Code

[anathemafiction]

ROs reaction to the MC being jealous? 🙏🏻 Would anyone enjoy it? 👀

Hadrian wouldn't believe it at first. It's simply out of the realm of possibility. He's the one who feels insecure. He's the one who doesn't deserve you. He's devoted to you, body and soul, and Hadrian simply assumes that you know it — he can't phantom you not knowing it. 

He wouldn't get it for a while. If you kept your jealousy subtle, Hadrian would never get there, and would just be confused when you'd act colder or more aloof. But if you make it obvious?

The moment that realization hits that, no, you're actually jealous, Hadrian would enter panic mode. Immediately rushes to your side, trying to reassure however way he can — tries not to use words because he'd blunder and make even a bigger mess of things. If you let him, he wouldn't leave your side for the rest of the day. Eyes on you only. 

There's only you. Please, never doubt it. 

-

Alessa would secretly enjoy it. Much more than she admits even to herself. 

Outwardly, she'd raise an eyebrow, maybe call you a fool, but she'd be biting her inner cheek to stifile a smile, and those glacier-blue eyes would shine brighter for a few hours. She scoffs at the notion, of course, but still...

Alessa enjoys this side of you. "Retract your claws," she says, while gripping your arm closer. 

-

Jealousy isn't a novelty for Alain. It's unfortunate, but it's a sentiment he's been on the receiving end of more times than he'd care to count. 

People have tried to claim him, to control him, to chain him, and, honestly, it just leaves a bad taste in his mouth. He gets bored. Distances himself from the scorned lover. 

What is novel is this need to soothe you when Alain realizes that you are insecure about him. He does it while grinning, almost teasing you, "Afraid I'll get myself another bird?" he asks, but when you don't smile back, he leans over and soothes a finger down your furrowed brow. 

"You shouldn't be," he murmurs, his voice surprisingly gentle. 

-

Ysabella would be saddened by it. Not because of you, not even because of herself, but because of Fate itself. Because, as she sees you gritting your teeth, trying to pretend you're not affected by the thought of her being sold into a politically convenient marriage, Ysabella feels her heart breaking. 

But only a little, because she cannot afford to fall apart. Not now, perhaps not ever. 

So, she'd smile, and pray you don't notice how it doesn't reach her eyes. "Hush, now," she'd say, hand finding yours, fingers interwining together. "You shouldn't put so much strain on your jaw, darling. It ruins those lovely features."

-

The Pirate King would be amused by it. He'd chuckle wryly, which would only infuriate you more. And the more agitated you'd get, the more he'd be entertained. It wouldn't be until you're spinning on your feet, prepared to storm away, that he'd reach out, loop an arm around your waist, and pull you to him. 

Just to kiss you in front of whoever it was that's making you doubt that you'd won his heart long ago. 

You'd stomp his foot, or push him away, and the Pirate would chuckle lowly into the kiss. "That's my spitfire."

-

Neia, like Hadrian, would probably not realize it 😆. But it's not because she thinks it impossible — Neia just wouldn't be paying attention. She speaks only to bark commands, spit orders, or let out grunts.

Who the hell are you jealous of? The wench cowering in the corner?

But people admire her from afar, and that could get to you. Neia wouldn't realize it until you've been silent for a few hours, now. She noticed the change in mood immediately, but she gave you space. Now, you're back in your quarters, and you're still silent, and Neia's patience runs out. "What is it?"

You purse your lips. 

"Have I done something? Spill it out, sweetling, I'm not playing a guessing game."

And you tell her, and Neia simply stares at you. Silence falls for an uncomfortably long time, until...

A lone raspy laugh. 

"Seriously?" You scowl at her. 

Neia throws a blanket at your head. "Go to sleep," she says, voice still rought with amusement. "You've clearly lost your mind."

-

Lance would honestly be a bit lost. Did he... do something to merit this? Did he fail to make you feel assured? Perhaps he shouldn't have bowed at that patron who tipped him generously earlier. 

The problem was that Lance Silverthrat would have no idea how to fix this. So, masking his uncertainty with a plastered smile, he'd loop an arm around your shoulder. "Did you enjoy the song, Starlight?"

You'd shrug, and Lance would feel the sweat at the back of your neck. "It was for you," he says, using that tone he knows you like. 

You don't look at him. "Was it?"

Oh, there it is. Lance can feel the stiffness in your muscles. "Of course it was," he says, gold tooth glinting. But his eyes eagerly search your face, all smoothness tossed aside. 

"Hm."

Lance would then drag a hand down his face and do what he so rarely has ever done: open the game. "I am not interested in that woman."

"She sure looked interested in you, what with the long talk afterward—"

Lance would gently grab your chin to make you look at him. And the solemness in his gaze would snap you out of it. "And I've yet to hear praise from the only audience member I care about." The pads of his fingers softly brushing your cheek. "Will you not give it to me?"

-

Vallen would delight in it. 

She'd smile, a kind of curling, self-satisfied smile that bares the points of her teeth. Her hand would close around your wrist as she peered at you through her eyelashes. "Are you jealous?" she'd ask in a breathless whisper, knowing the answer already, but wanting to hear it from your tongue. "Is that why you're gripping me? Want to keep me from running away?"

It's not that she wants you to be insecure. It's the very nature of it. You want to claim her, maybe as much as she'd like to claim you, and that —that sends a thrill down her spine. 

So, when you look into her eyes, that gaze of yours carrying a storm within, and say, "You wouldn't dare."

Vallen is not a woman to coo, but she does the next best thing. She lets her smile grow wider. "Nor would you."

-

Rafael, much like Alessa, would enjoy it. Unlike Alessa, however, he'd have no qualms about admitting it. 

He'd be grinning from ear to ear as you clung to him, one hand locked tight around his bicep, the other firm on his thigh. Rafael would drink in the sight of your deadly scowl, the way your fingers would tighten just the slightest bit whenever the person from across the table complimented him. 

He would let you do whatever you wanted, push him on top of the table, and claim him right there, if that's what you needed. He'd just grin, face flushed bright red, and follow along, drunk on your jealousy, on the way you're staking your territory.

Rafael has never been treasured, not like this. Never by someone like you. He doesn't know what you see in him, but by God, he ain't about to question it. Never look a gift horse in the mouth and all that.

Rafael would never dream of anyone else. He could never even imagine touching another. Not after knowing the texture of your skin, the scent of your hair, the taste of your kisses. 

But you like this? Well, damn. Rafael supposes you can still surprise him. When you're alone again, back in your room, he'd just keep grinning like a fool in love. "Hey," he'd say lamely. "That got me goin'."

[seraphinitegames]

May I please be enlightened as to who has the best thighs in UB? 👀👀

Well I suppose it would depend on what the individual person liked in their thighs! :D

Adam/Ava has thick, muscled thighs.

Nate/Nat has very toned, long thighs (not that I'm jealous or anything... :D)

Felix/Farah has soft curved thighs.

Mason/Morgan has strong but lean thighs.

Thank you so much for the ask! :)

Fact is oghren loved branka in the way y’all can only put in fanfic & wattpad kidnapped by one direction stories. Oghren loved his paragon so much that he drove his entire house into the dust just for a CHANCE to fight for her. 2 entire years he spent banging on the doors of the assembly/palace demanding she not be abandoned. Of course it drove him to drinking and raging and drinking some more, he was taught that paragons are living GODS (pretty much) and was contending with the cruel, shattering reality that it’s been reduced to just face and politics. And there’s a lot to unpack about political corruption there but there is also a note to be made about how far into the abyss the darkspawn have pushed his proud people into over generations upon generations. He isn’t just mourning branka he is mourning honor and culture and religion. His OWN but also his PEOPLE’S. You’re not allowed to talk to him about it though uhh fart joke - here, hold that
