It’s a pleasure to meet your acquaintance. My name is Rachel Phantomhive. I am the Countess of Phantomhive, married to the Earl, Ciel Phantomhive. I am twenty-five years of age, having just had my birthday recently.
I am originally from New York. Yes, the states. Though, as I’m sure you’ve gathered, I now reside in London alongside my husband. It just so happened we became attached while I was visiting my uncle back in 1902. If you are curious (as most are), yes, me being American did come with its…challenges, you could say, among English society.
I am a writer. I started writing as a young girl, and just never stopped. I am here to write— specifically with the characters from Black Butler. Long form stories, head cannons, preferences, requests, or anything the imagination can make up.
I do write NSFW within my own terms— so minors, please make yourself scarce. You won’t be tolerated here.
I write female reader inserts. No original characters, no males. I am sorry to disappoint— as a female myself, I simply don’t have the capacity to write males in a convincing way.
Please feel free to send inquiries as collaboration is the most enjoyable part of the writing process.
The characters I currently write for include:
— Alois Trancy (Age 30.)
— Bardroy (Age 48.)
— Ciel Phantomhive (Age 29.)
— Claude Faustus (Able to write as a demon, or simply a hyper skilled butler— in which case, he is 34.)
— Edward Midford (Age 34.)
— Finnian (Age 33.)
— Sebastian Michaelis (Able to write as a demon, or simply a hyper skilled butler— in which case, he is 36.)
Of course, these ages are calculated from the current year: 1905. I am able to change the ages within reason to your liking. Absolutely nothing under the age of twenty for any character. There will be no exceptions.
I also reserve the right to refuse any request sent my way. I will more often than not give a reason if I deny a prompt, though I don’t need to. I expect this to be respected.
If you are interested, see my current writings here:
Here is our second character in the line up-- Bardroy. I found the steam to write one more for today. Enjoy.
How long you courted for.
You two courted for quite a while. After losing his first wife, he was incredibly hesitant and honestly scared to make the commitment again. With his role in the Phantomhive manor you would be in some form of danger most of the time, even if small. He had to prove to himself he could protect you properly. You both probably courted for a year and a half.
How they proposed.
The set up was simple. Your favorite spot in the Phantomhive garden. He had been saving as much of his paychecks as possible to get you a half decent ring. He didn’t add a lot of fluff-- probably said something along the lines of:
“You know….I was really afraid to do this for a long time. But I can’t lie to myself anymore, and I’d rather have you near-- so I can protect you, and all that, you know? So….will you marry me?”
His American slightly turned English accent was as prominent as ever. Perhaps even more so, considering he was nervous.
The ring was a simple silver band with a small sized navette cut opal. He was very relieved that you said yes.
“Thank god…I was honestly worried I made a fool of myself for a second there…”
How the wedding and honeymoon went.
Your anniversary is September 13th, 1897.
The wedding was held in a modest church nearby. It was a small wedding, maybe 25 guests. Bardroy wore his Sunday best-- an old suit he got about ten years ago. It was slightly out of fashion, and the color had faded a little, but it was still nicely kept. He never used it much, after all. His Sunday shoes had seen better days. They were slightly worn and had creases, but looked acceptable with some buffing and polishing. He was given a new burgundy tie by his master to wear on the day. Your mother, your sister, and Mey-rin all helped to sew a simple white dress for you to wear. High collar, long sleeves, all made of a decent quality cotton. Your mother could even afford a small amount of lace to put at the hems of your sleeves. You had a small bundle of wildflowers to hold as you walked down the aisle.
For your honeymoon, you went to the English countryside. Bardroy had to pick up extra work to afford it, and you had to do people’s laundry and mending for some extra money. You were able to spend four days away together before returning to work.
How they handle affection publicly and privately.
As a working class man, there isn’t a lot of down time to show physical affection throughout the day. Around other people he will give you a quick side hug and a kiss on the temple, but if out on the town he will simply let you hold his arm and keep you close. He can’t cause any scandals or disruptions for his master.
In private, he is also rather simple with his affection. Have you sit on his lap, hold your hips, rub your back absentmindedly. Although he is simple, he still likes you to be near.
How they handle intimacy.
Bard is a very visual man, and has a relatively high libido, though it isn’t what it used to be. He knows what he’s doing, even if he’s not very graceful about it. He prefers a rather equal distribution of pleasure- I get some and you get some. He also very much likes lingerie and will happily sneak off to do a quickie. He will take care of you, but he will also make sure he is taken care of too. He likes to whisper words of devotion and sweet nothings to you.
How they handle disagreements.
Bardroy is a little bullheaded, and will get stubborn. But not to a fault-- he will give in to compromise or the fact he’s wrong eventually. He may raise his voice, but not in anger and not at you, just in natural indignation. He would call it “passion”. He would probably give in and say something along the lines of “The lady’s always right, ain’t she?”
Their love language/how they show they care.
Bardroy is physical touch and acts of service oriented. If you complain your bed is squeaking, a few weeks later you’ll notice he fixed it. If you crave a certain food, you’ll find it on the menu the next day. If you say your back hurts, he will motion you over to give you a massage. He may be casual and simple with his affection but it is always present. He will always be close by in some form or fashion if he can help it, even if the most he can do is have your shoulders touch. It makes him feel grounded and connected to you even if yours or his attention is elsewhere with work.
How they celebrate anniversaries/holidays.
He stresses a lot over these things. He tries to plan big elaborate things for you, wanting to wow you, but something always goes wrong. But you don’t mind, you appreciate the effort he puts into it either way. Once the big elaborate celebration fails, you usually either have a plan B, or he at least has a gift or two to give you so you don’t leave empty handed. He’ll also handpick flowers and put them in your room before you wake with a small card. He’ll also happily cook your favorite meal (with Sebastian’s help, of course….).
Pet names they call you.
He prefers something simple-- either a shortened version of your name (his favorite), or hon, honey, and if he’s being sarcastic-- dear.
Roles in the relationship (his and yours).
Bard is the epitome of a simple, working class man. He’s rough around the edges, used to working with his hands, and has leadership qualities. However, he is not good with thinking ahead, staying organized, and the small details. This is where you guys balance each other out and genuinely become a team. You each have your own roles and are stronger together.
How they handle jealousy.
He would respond to jealousy with competitiveness and some bitterness. He is definitely the type to silently brood in the corner until he blows up. And when he does, he usually makes a fool of himself, as per usual. He doesn’t feel it often, but it will happen occasionally when you’re both serving at balls or traveling with the master. He’d probably try and save face: “Who cares…the guys’ a loser anyway…”
What living with them is like.
Living with Bard would be very domestic. Both of you rise at dawn, and are working until the sun goes down. Getting ready in the morning and unwinding at night becomes your time together. His master was kind enough to let you and your husband have a private room in the servants quarters.
Your time in the morning would be quiet, drowsy, Bardroy muttering under his breath about how tired he is or how his back hurts. You’d always properly comb his hair and add some pomade, otherwise it looks ruffled and unkempt. He’d help tie your corset and button your dress.
At night you would both be much more talkative. Going over your day, telling stories about this “unbelievable guest who asked for silk napkins”. When it is your time in the washroom, you casually tend to each other while speaking.
It would get mildly chaotic if there were intruders or Bardroy was having a hard night— in which case he would stay up all night propped up on the small headboard, his gun loaded on the side of the bed, his hand resting gently on your back.
Your relationship with them (stability, overall happiness).
Bardroy is a regulated, stable guy. He has his flukes and has some thoughtless innovations, and he definitely bites off more than he can chew, but he is your rock. He is always there emotionally (as much as he can be), and physically as much as his work allows. Financial stability can be a bit dodgy, but that is just the life of a working couple. You at least have a home, a bed, and access to food, and each other. And even if it takes ten years, he swears he’ll be able to buy some land someday just for the two of you to grow old in.
Overall, this is a safe, stable marriage. I’d rate it a 7/10. There can be minor complications, some financial strain, but you are a team through and through.
Alois is aged up to 30, though feel free to have him any age you please over the age of twenty.
~MDNI~
Barely explicit, but enough.
I’ve curated these prompts to give you a glimpse of everyday married life with your character of choice. I am going in alphabetical order— so, without further ado, here is Alois.
How long you courted for.
Not very long at all. Alois was never one to wait or have patience. He probably courted you for three or four months before proposing— fast, even for Edwardian standards.
How they proposed.
Alois is over the top and incredibly expressive. He would definitely want to surprise and wow you— completely floor you. However, he isn’t entirely without substance. He would pick a spot that had meaning for the both of you— private, with someone hiding to take a photograph (because he needs a photo). Once you said yes and had your emotional moment, he would take you to the planned surprise party where you both could immediately celebrate your engagement alongside your loved ones.
The ring would be loud, but tastefully Alois. An ornate gold band with a flashing amethyst, with small diamonds bordering it. His would be an engraved gold band with small diamonds detailing it.
How the wedding and honeymoon went.
Your anniversary date is May 1st, 1900.
The wedding was large and lavish. Easily over 150 guests. Your wedding took place in a large catholic cathedral that had an acre of beautiful gardens and walkway’s. The colors were cream and deep plum. Your dress was adorned with handmade lace, a full skirt, mid sleeves and a lower square neck. This was a controversial (and some say crude) choice, but you and Alois were never afraid of showing off.
Alois wore a deep plum suit with an olive green tie (another controversial color palette for a gentleman). He had a small lily attached at his breast pocket— one of the flowers of your bouquet. You both cried at the reception.
You spent your honeymoon in the heart of the south in America— Charleston, South Carolina. A beautiful coastal town, that has classic southern food, beautiful historic streets, and plenty of music and bars. You were there for two weeks before returning to England.
How they handle affection publicly and privately.
Alois is a very hands on man, and he is pretty shameless. He doesn’t shy away from scandal….he actually kind of invites it. Public displays of affection are considered vulgar and inappropriate, but that’s never stopped him. He will wrap an arm around your waist, give you kisses on the cheek, even give you a quick kiss on your lips. When dancing at an event, you can almost guarantee his hand will be dangerously low. There’s only a handful of socialites that will invite you two to gatherings anymore.
Privately, he’s even worse. Or better, depending on how you view it. If he isn’t busy managing the estate, or trying out entrepreneurship for the tenth time, his hands are somewhere on you. At the dinner table, he wraps his ankle around yours, he will always hug you from behind in greeting, and he will always give you a kiss hello and goodbye. Not just a quick kiss either.
How they handle intimacy.
Like many things, with great expression and little to no discretion. He isn’t shy about letting you know when he wants you, even if a servant or two is around. He is very vocal about how beautiful and delicious you are, and he will shamelessly pick you up and carry you to the bedroom if he gets the itch to. He naturally takes charge in bed, but wouldn’t ever stop you if you took the lead. In fact, he’d probably find it extremely sexy and immediately play along. This man loves to roleplay— he also is a little into pet play. He likes to play chase.
How they handle disagreements.
He can be rather stubborn and childish when it comes to arguments. He isn’t one to remain composed when he’s upset— he will let it be known. Disagreements usually end with him stomping off in a huff, red faced and irritated. Though, once he’s had time to calm and truly think, he always comes back and apologizes for his outburst. Afterwards he’s more willing to come to a compromise or talk it through, even if he is still a little defensive.
Their love language/how they show they care.
Physical touch first and foremost. He is always on you in every way— romantically, sexually, casually, you name it. If he isn’t, something is wrong. He pairs it with plenty of words of affirmation— the man doesn’t shut up about you. You quite literally are his life, he will say I love you about 100 times a day. He’s also a major gift giver— expect to have a shelf of random knick knacks he brings back for you from his trips.
How they celebrate anniversaries/holidays.
Loudly. He will give you so many gifts you’ll forget things he got you the next day. He will send you three bouquets of flowers in one day, one for every single meal. He’ll write a ridiculously long love letter, take you anywhere you want to go, and spend the whole day with you. He’ll cancel anything and everything and give you his full attention.
Pet names they call you.
He calls you many, but his favorite ones are sweetie, lovely, missy, and dearest.
Roles in the relationship (his and yours).
Alois usually takes a more dominant role in the relationship, but he enjoys and encourages you to take the lead a lot as well. He finds it incredibly attractive. He isn’t the bravest, and when it comes to protection, he will try— but you will most likely have to rely on yourself at least a little bit. More or less you are equals, though you tend to play the role of stabilizer for his constant moods.
How they handle jealousy.
Not well, to say the least. Alois isn’t capable of feeling anything small, and if he feels jealous he will make it known immediately. It will most likely end in a fight that he can’t finish, but that was never the goal. The goal was letting everyone know how he feels.
What living with them is like.
Living with Alois definitely has its ups and downs. His moods can be very unpredictable, but he does try his best to stabilize them, especially around you. Even though you usually have to step in and help, he has gotten better over the years. He is very present and very loud, so hopefully you don’t enjoy much alone time. He will always want to be by your side, and will be, unless he is working or occupied with something. He will want to eat every meal with you, and won’t go to bed until you’re in there with him. He also won’t get out of bed until you get out.
Your relationship with them (stability, overall happiness).
There is stability in the sense of finances, a home, and loyalty. He will not cheat, and he will not purposely wrong you or go behind your back to do anything. But he is unstable in his emotions, and rather clingy and needy, and hard to compromise with. Those can create unstable moments for you both. Conflict is relatively common— there is always communication to be had and mood stabilizing to be done. However, you will never question what he feels for you. I would rate the happiness of the relationship a 6.5/10. Happy and content majority of the time, with a little more conflict than average.
