Oh my god? You write for Miss-not so sidekick??! It's one of my favourites and earliest reads. I had such a crush on Arwen and prayed for him to be the male lead. I 100% ship Arwen and Latte, so is it possible to get a poly scenario or headcannon? I've read your rules and haven't seen if it's allowed, if not maybe a classic rivalry between the two as they try to court the reader? Oh, and to make it more intense, I was thinking about a reader who's like Ibellin's sidekick or lady in waiting. Someone trapped in her shadows, and makes it more obvious to others about her whole shtick around being kind and her fishery.

GENRE: Fluff-Smut || Headcanons
AUTHOR'S NOTES: Thank you SOOO MUCH FOR REQUESTING! This brought me back to Miss-not-so-Sidekick. I forgot how perfect and how much of a red-flag Arwin was!!
𑣲 You were Ibelin's lady-in-waiting, Latte remembers when she read the story. You had been her great defender and friend and eventually supporter, even in her ventures with the three male leads and against Peridot, so Latte had been extremely excited to meet you.
𑣲 Except things don't tend to go the way it did, Ibelin was more or less–subdued? Is that the word? She was just very much permissive. You were more or less like a very annoyed co-worker to her, instead of the big supporter the novel made you out to be. You trailed behind her, but kept distance from any drama or love stories she brought with her. That intrigued her, but not only her. Also a certain master of the tower.
𑣲 Meeting you had been a pure coincidence, at a night-market. Ibelin had been pulled away by the crown prince, leaving you. Which led to you bumming around the night markets, buying the cheapest food and shit for fun, until an unruly head of blonde curls bumped into you hard. Arwin had been bothering Latte, the two in the middle of the phase of romance– "Oh, you're Ibelin's lady! Hii!" Latter spoke brightly.
𑣲 You only waved back. You looked away, barely making eye contact with Arwin, not because you were scared. Rather just not as much bothering yourself with men Ibelin clearly had her own eyes upon, you weren't going to involve yourself with such men. That's what made him frustrated and intrigued.
𑣲 Latter and Arwin had spent a few weeks just skirting around, until Latte blurted it out and they both decided to pursue you, together. Arwin would play with you like he does with Latt, eliciting reactions and being sweet while Latt would be far more affectionate, hugging your arms, bringing you tiny trinkets, making you popcorn of any flavour you want.
𑣲 The way you entered their relationship was more or less Latte and Arwin team-tagging you with threats and love, "You join us, or i might just have to blow your head–", "–WITH how much we'll love you!", "Yeah, so be with us." and you choose to be alive.
𑣲 Do things barrel downhill after that? Eh—debatable. Arwin is more or less a weirdly romantic guy, he brings you flowers and dances with you. Often letting you escape Ibelin if you ever want to. Latte, on the other hand, is always willing to make you laugh and speak about her life in the modern world, if you pry enough.
𑣲 Arwin and Latte are both individuals who no matter how opposite they seem, are quite frankly, equal assholes. They both LOVE to shove their cold bodies against your warm one especially on an already cold night. Arwin gently holds you down, hooking his long legs over yours and then Latte's hip. Latte, on the other hand, she practically leeches to you. She tends to hug in her sleep.
𑣲 Mostly, all the mages in the tower likely know you by name. If you're around Arwin and Latte, you're practically their third master or mistress and they aren't taking any chances, already attempting to butter you up to get in your good graces.
𑣲 Arwin gifts you enchanted or magicked brooches he spent a night or so on. Like Latte's ring, you can use those jewelleries for different purposes or they're just pretty and he wants to show off his wealth and how well he can treat you.
𑣲 Of-course, he's constantly listening in on your words. You have to learn to not speak negatively about things, trying to be positive. Any sort of negative feelings regarding any subject, item or thing and Arwin tends to practically obliterate the said subject, item or thing from core existence. Happened once with a pole you bumped into.
𑣲 Latte still finds and feels scorching sparks whenever she walks by the place, as if they recognise the mistress of the mage who killed the thing from above it. You have tried on multiple occasions to speak as indirectly about things you hate or want to vent about as possible.
𑣲 Obviously you're allowed to use Arcane Tower's products as much as you want. More times than not though, Arwin doesn't like you taking the scrolls. Still believe they're useless. Latte agrees after her last experience with Peridot changing them.
𑣲 Speaking of Latte, since being the Master. Arwin might be more than busy, hence most hours of day are spent with Latte. Even if early morning and night 'routines' are spent with both. Latte is always around, kissing your cheeks, telling you gossip and once even spent hours making you your very own Cookie! Cookie has a spouse too, it's name is Pookie (also Latte's naming skills).
𑣲 Whenever Latte works on any piece of writing, be it bimor or anything else. She lets you read it first and almost always the lead is inspired by you. She thinks of you while writing it and the character's love-interest is obviously inspired by both of them.
𑣲 Arwin is always on the verge of killing off Ibelin whenever you have to return to work as her lady-in-waiting. Likely half a year or so in the relationship, he'd be the one to make you quit it so you could be the third tyrant of the Arcane Tower. Latte tries to oppose him, saying just because they both have problems against Ibelin doesn't mean you have to lose your job, but silently..? She agrees. She's possessive, sadly.
𑣲 Neither one likes it when you spend a little too much time with either the Cutie Club of the Mages or Ibelin. Especially later on in your relationship. Neither likes being away and clearly, they'd much rather you stay stuffed and squished between them and their annoying and provoking bantering. One of these days you'd use the 'meteor' spell on these two. Though you have no doubt your husband would have no problem saving everything.
𑣲 You, Latte and Arwin have a nighttime 'routine', which is a more..proper way to say you have sex every night before bed. Arwin has a list of positions and his ass does not budge from his list, everything has to go in alphabetical order. Latte is not surprised. When either you or Latte stay away, he adds another. You think it's stupid, he thinks it's orderly. Latte is just busy oogling both of you, you both are the hottest creatures in this universe, after all.
𑣲 But on top of it. Arwin has one privilege, you get you use him anytime and anywhere you want. Being a master has it's perks of being able to misuse magic to let you and Latte use him anyway either of you want, anywhere you want, anytime you want. Invisibility spells and silencing spells have become the most prominent uses of magic Arwin does on a daily basis.. T-T
This was a drawing I did during the pandemic, and I still don't understand how I managed to draw it; it turned out pretty well (I think), even though I don't know how to draw—or maybe it's because I didn't draw it from memory? Because almost everything I draw usually comes out crooked.
