I need to know.. in ranking form. Which route I'd gonna be the hardest emotionally? Whose gonna break me?

Not like you didn't already start that shit with how the au demo ended... js.. stupid Ash!

Like Ash seems to be a tough one definitely!

but Poe seems like a bit of a manipulating turbulent route.. (using an old friendships knowledge as ammo against someone you were once close to is dastardly... i can't wait)

Although pursuing Ori seems so sweet i love a good best friend is the one vibe but especially with the rough relationship with everyone else including how close they are to MCs whole ass ex might get alil messy.

As for hunter... hunter is a mystery to me.

Hmm, I'm gonna go in reverse order because that's much easier for some reason 😅

Hunter is the least known to MC, so they're pretty mysterious to MC as well. They're excited to finally reconnect with MC in a more appropriate setting, but having the least amount of history with MC also means the potential for hurt is lower. It's probably more likely that MC would hurt Hunter than the other way around, they just want what's best for MC (while really hoping that includes them). {current update!! HUNTER = JULES!!}

Ori is the sweetest of the bunch but like you mentioned, there's some awkwardness from Ori being so close to both MC & Ash. Their route is tricky and will require more 'correct' choices from MC, in order to bypass the magical red tape. There's definitely a potential for heartbreak.

OG Ash is more confused than hurt. They still don't know why MC broke up with them and left them high & dry with the professional Demonhall teams. They're a lot more patient & protective of MC and the journey they're going through.

AU Ash knows MC as well as Ori does, if not better. And sometimes, when MC hurts Ash (whether intentional or not), they have the capacity of lashing out like a scorned Witxh. Ash isn't necessarily looking to hurt MC but they're definitely not concerned with protecting their feelings, either.

And then there's Poe. Ohh Poe. They're a huge wild card with a permanent chip on their shoulder. When they're around MC it's like they're constantly at war with themselves, over carrying this decades-long grudge or giving in to the moment. They have a penchant for acting out and that can often come at MC's expense.

But the RO who will be doing the most breaking hasn't been introduced yet 🤫

Thanks for the ask, that was fun (=

Omg I just read your demo and I loooooooooooved it. I read both but the AU one gripped my heart and the ending of the demo crushed my heart right after. God.. I'm probably gonna torture myself with Ash but I cannot resist an ex in any IF it's my weakness.

I really did enjoy reading it tho and I had to come find your Tumblr since the link was kinda wonky but thankfully I could find you still. I am a fan! 🥰💜

Hey, thanks so much for the ask! It's my first one sooo I'm quietly celebrating in the kitchen this morning, haha. And another thank you to you and everyone else who had the patience to read through both demos, I really do appreciate all the feedback I'm getting!! I am legitimately sooo excited to start sharing the rest of the story!! And full disclosure, I'm also a sucker for exes in IFs... and royalty, of course...and red flags, obviously 😅

Also, I know this wasn't really a question, I was just excited to talk about Ash a bit... When I first started daydreaming about this story and figuring it out, Ash was one of the first characters to really jump out at me. It became clear that they have two loves of their life, Demonhall and MC. You will be able to choose how MC & Ash originally got together, how MC felt with them, and how it ultimately ended.

In the OG version they've kept all the doors open, allowing MC to come and go as they please, all the while hoping MC gets their head on straight and comes back to them for good.

In the AU story... Ash is hurt and angry, and even more confused about MC's actions than their OG counterpart. But what makes it worse (for them) is that the MC still occupies a very big space in their heart, so it can sometimes seem like they're wrestling with a part of themselves, with Ash going hot and cold with the MC.
