Darn, the new list is tempting. I should not do this... But... I could write some more Astarion centric whump.

Why are the gods (that is you) tempting me so much?

That's the thing about whump, it's an ever present black hole ready to suck you in -- unless you can toss some unfortunate characters in to feed it first

For the practice: Some Isaac from Castlevania. I love this man!

Not sure what were the expectations about this requests but here’s a little post-canon character study under the cut ✨

[ come say hi on AO3! ]

Isaac finds himself staring out of his window almost constantly now. It always came instinctive to him, like a second nature, to seek height. To gain the higher ground. There’s no higher ground for him than that tower, isolated and standing tall over unfolding hills and plains. Seeking refuge from the ground can be expected from someone like him - who’s once been held all too close to it from cruel hands that seemed to believe he belonged there. Safe as it is, Isaac has never seen it as a shelter. It’s a perch.

Height is a call to aspiration, to elevation, to a higher purpose. That’s why he’d initially chosen it as his hide. Things have changed since that moment, yet he’d still felt the call to return to that place. It’s different now; no need for hiding, scheming, festering. The round, sheltered space feels larger now, airy. Like he can finally breathe again. There is no higher purpose anymore - no higher purpose than simply learning to be alive. Finally, he can master that. After a lifelong struggle for liberation, for self-cleansing, he has his freedom and the most precious thing of all: time to enjoy it.

He sees the smile that pulls at his lips in his reflection on the glass, soft and easy for once. From there, his future looks like the view from that window now. Open.

For the Valentine Ask

3, 15, 26

3. Wow this is really really hard for me to answer... I say Mabel/Kevin Corduroy from Gravity Falls. I don't know, I just like that a Pines ended up with a Corduroy some way or the other. And this isn't actually new; a post-series fanfic A Return to the Falls by J_COTW explores this ship though more on the sidelines.

15. As my first fandom is Harry Potter, I would say Hinny and/or Romione

26. I say Soos and Melody of Gravity Falls. Wait, does this question mean how the ship broke up or became endgame? I'm assuming endgame. Quite like how the episode handles their romance... hope we see more of them...
