Starry Rendezvous

Hi @borednschooled! I'm your @arcanasecretcupid. I loved seeing how much depth and thought you’ve put into Claudia's character -- she was super fun to write. I hope you enjoy this slightly-spicy Claudia x Asra x Muriel! It's set in a vague-ish time period after Asra's upright ending. Happy Valentine's Day! (And thanks so much for organzing, @arcanecadenza :3)

Claudia-Nomusa’s customer-service smile slipped from her face as she waved at the final patron of the day. They had left her and Asra’s shop satisfied, a fragrant basket of pale pink flowers in their hands that would give their partner romantic dreams. The whole day had been filled with local Vesuvians strolling into the shop with intentions to buy magical gifts for their loved ones to celebrate Vesuvia’s national day of romance – and while Claudia was eager to assist them, every face filled with love and excitement only served to remind her painfully of Asra’s absence.

Asra had been gone for almost a week at Countess Nadia’s behest, assisting at the palace with some urgent court issues. While Muriel and Claudia were happy to spend time alone together in companionable silence, they each felt a piece of them missing – a hole in their souls – where Asra should have been in their everyday lives. The bed on the second floor of the shop seemed just a little too big and empty without Asra there, even with Muriel’s sizeable presence.

Claudia hadn’t heard word from Asra in a handful of days, and wondered if he even remembered that Vesuvia’s annual romance celebration was here – or, even worse, that Nadia had remembered and disregarded his need to return to his partners.

“Any news?” Claudia said hopefully as Muriel lumbered into the shop after checking the post. Inanna, his wolf, and Elna, her fennec fox, trotted in at his heels. He gave her an unreadable look and shook his head.

Claudia sighed and stooped to pet Elna as she rubbed her muzzle into her calf. “Maybe we should plan on just the two of us celebrating tonight, then.” Muriel nodded, his own face mirroring the disappointment Claudia felt, and she continued. “Surely Nadia would allow him to come back tonight, even if she needs him again tomorrow…”

“If she needs him for something important, you know she’ll make him stay,” Muriel rumbled sadly.

The rest of the afternoon passed without event, and Claudia could feel a sinking feeling of disappointment cloud over both her and Muriel, almost a physical weight on their shoulders. On this day, the one day a year Vesuvia celebrated romance and relationships, one of their trio would be missing, and it just wouldn’t be the same.

Just as Claudia was about to suggest they begin to make dinner plans, the door creaked open and a smiling figure with curling white hair slipped into the shop.

“Asra!” Claudia exclaimed, running to him. “You’re here!”

As they hugged, Muriel approached as well and wrapped his massive arms around them both. “I’m here,” Asra said, muffled, into her dark curls. “I’m sorry I was late.”

“It doesn’t matter. You’re back now!” As Muriel released them, Claudia stepped back and smiled happily at Asra. Asra’s mouth curved, not into his gentle smile, but into his mischievous, upturned catlike grin.

“Now, if you’ll excuse me…” Asra’s smug little smirk widened as he turned away from them both.

“But you just got here!” Claudia protested.

Asra said nothing as he slipped up the stairs to the bedroom, leaving Claudia and Muriel to stare at one another perplexedly.

***

After Claudia had finished closing up the shop, she could hear Muriel’s stomach rumbling from across the room, and knew it was time to start crafting dinner or else her mountain man would start getting ornery. She had no clue what Asra was up to, but she was getting tired of missing Asra still, even now that he was in the same building.

“Asra?” she called, walking up the stairs leading to the bedroom. “Asra, I don’t know what you’re doing, but Muriel and I are getting–”

She stepped into their bedroom, and Asra was standing in front of the open window, sharing a mischievous look with Faust, who was draped casually over his shoulders.

“Hungry?” Asra grinned. “Well, that’s perfect. Muriel! Come on up. I’m ready.”

“Ready?” Claudia raised an eyebrow as Muriel stumped up the stairs.

“Come, you two,” Asra beckoned, holding out his hand.

Claudia shook her head, nonplussed, and took his hand. Together, and to Claudia’s utter surprise, they climbed out of the window and onto the roof of the shop.

There, draped along the rooftop tiles, was a massive blanket covered in what couldn't be called anything but a feast. Honey-glazed figs, aromatic cheeses, crusty breads all lay on shining golden platters. Bowls of nuts, dried fish, and fresh fruit stood next to the massive carafe of red wine and a towering pile of chocolate-covered strawberries and pink heart-shaped cakelets. Plush pillows stolen from the bedroom served as cushions and lounge props.

“Nadia felt guilty for keeping me at the castle longer than anticipated,” Asra said, squeezing Claudia’s hand. “So she sent me home with all of this for us.”

Muriel carefully stepped onto the roof and stared mutely at the feast laid before them. He turned to Asra. “We thought you’d forgotten…”

“I could never forget,” Asra replied earnestly.

The three of them sat on the pillow wonderland and ate their fill as they swapped stories of their time apart, Asra describing the latest drama at the palace and Claudia recollecting the most interesting visitors to the shop.

Finally, their bellies full and mugs of wine topped off, Asra and Muriel settled themselves on either side of Claudia, cuddling close and gazing up at the stars.

“Each of the major Arcana have a constellation,” Asra murmured during a lull in the conversation, pointing upwards. “See – there’s the Magician, with the tail of the fox made up of those five stars. Looks a little like Elna, don’t you think?”

Claudia chuckled.

“And there – there’s the Empress, with her wings expanding out of those stars… Muriel, where’s the Hermit? You’re always good at finding the constellations.”

Claudia and Asra looked toward Muriel, who had been staring at them both. At their glance, he blushed. “I always forget where they are when you two are around… to distract me…” He mumbled.

Claudia smiled, placing a hand on Muriel’s cheek. “That’s sweet,” she said, leaning forward and pressing her lips to his.

Muriel did as he always did when kissed – he shivered in surprise before melting with pleasure into Claudia’s embrace, kissing her back in full.

“So I get a show today…” chuckled Asra, wrapping an arm around Claudia’s waist. From behind, he began to kiss along the nape of her neck, sending a thrill of goosebumps down her spine.

Something like electricity crackled through the air. The three of them, here, now, finally reunited after a time apart. The air was rife with bottled up tension.

Claudia moved her lips down to Muriel’s jawline, and a desperate moan escaped his lips. He leaned back, lying down on the blankets beneath them. With his cheeks flushed and hair splayed across the blankets, Claudia couldn’t help but to surge forward, straddling him.

“Well, that’s a nice sight to see…” murmured Asra. He closed the distance between them, pressing himself against Claudia’s back. Claudia could feel the heat rising in her belly as Asra’s fingers teased beneath her blouse, brushing along the sensitive skin of her waist. Claudia herself couldn’t hold back a sigh of pleasure as Asra moved his hands downward, dragging his hands down each of her thighs and biting gently at the skin of her shoulder, humming with satisfaction.

Claudia leaned down to press her lips against Muriel’s as Asra’s hands continued to wander, their kisses frequently interrupted by gasps of surprise and pleasure. Muriel pawed one massive hand across Claudia’s chest as she strained against her shirt, his other hand gripping around Asra’s shoulder in a desperate attempt at bringing them closer. Claudia could feel Muriel’s chest rising and falling in uneven gasps, his heart fluttering with anticipation.

When Muriel spoke, his voice was hoarse. “Shouldn’t – shouldn’t we go back – inside –”

Claudia looked up from their rendezvous surreptitiously. No windows faced their rooftop, and no onlookers had decided to make their own rooftops a romantic getaway, so she leaned down and kissed him reassuringly.

“Only the constellations can see us from here,” she murmured.

Needless to say, they did not make it back to the bedroom to continue their celebration of Vesuvia’s national day of romance.

Portia for the ask!

Thank you! Love my Pasha ❤️ Based on this ask game.

Realistic: Portia and Muriel develop a kinship. He likes going to her cottage for tea since it's out of the way and he doesn't have to see too many people. He always brings her fresh eggs and she sends him home with bread and fruit from her garden. He also brings runes to prevent Camio from getting into her plants. They swap gardening tips too! It's easier for Muriel to warm up to Portia since she hasn't been in Vesuvia as long as everyone else. She doesn't associate him with his Scourge days or think he's scary. He can be himself around her.

Less realistic, but hilarious: wears cat ears around the house and only speaks in meows just to annoy you. "Portia are you ready for dinner" "Meow" "Portiaaaaa answer me" *long pause for effect* "Meow!"

Angsty: has nightmares about seeing Julian hanged and you dead, leaving her all alone in the world. It's helpful when she wakes up already in your arms but the memory of the people she loves dying stays with her throughout the day. One time you woke up before her (which is rare, she's usually up early) and she panicked when the bed was empty next to her. You encouraged her to take the day off after such a terrible scare.

Completely non canon: as much as I love uwu cottagecore wifey Portia, I think it would be really fun to lean into some dark stuff with her. I imagine her being a quasi-yandere type with her love of secrets and her protectiveness. One day, she's at work and she hears someone badmouth Julian, saying they still believe he killed Lucio and that he must have been in cahoots with Nadia. Or, she hears someone try to hit on you. Luckily, she knows exactly how to handle it. Slowly over the next week, she starts to spread little seeds of a nasty rumor about the person. A little while later, the rumors are widespread and the person is fired in shame. She can fight physically, but it's more fun to slowly poison and really ruin someone. To go even further, she would be really good at keeping secrets from you and I could see the relationship go really toxic if it isn't handled in a healthy way. Also consider devil Nadia and Portia is her pet..............mark me down as scared and horny

Time has long since passed for them to get sensitivity readers and learning how to write POC. I keep banging this drum but the fact I know they block people who have valid criticisms of them speaks volumes.

If they truly took those concerns to heart when it started coming up, there wouldn't even be questions about them having either of those things.

RIGHT???? I didn’t know they blocked people for doing stuff like that. I think the fact that they abandoned the tumblr fandom really hammers that home, though. They don’t support tumblr fan artists anymore and all of their posts are copy pasted from Instagram and Twitter. When was the last time they held an AMA fr.

I just want a nice dating sim that I can read without my own trauma being resurfaced every damn time. Just a little PSA to non BIPOC people looking to give their characters a tragic backstory: don’t use slavery or anything slavery adjacent. Please. Your story will be fine without it. There are so many other ways your character can suffer without going through bondage. 

Muriel became such an important character to me because I related a lot to his backstory. It makes me super protective when it comes to how such a narrative is handled. It sucks to see such a serious topic bastardized for the sake of sex appeal and trauma porn.

What's going on with Savenkey?

So, let's get this monkey business down (I'm so sorry, I just legit think this is hilarious)

Everything is on her instagram stories if you want to go to the Source and have a laugh for a moment, but basically redbubble —through Gumroad— removed all her content out of copyright infringement, out what I think was a NH report. Basically the Devs finally realised she was distributing the game backgrounds, templates, formats and cards as hers via linetracing and editing NH out of it.

This is my extremely superficial analysis, but Savenkey wasn't pirating (you wouldn't download a car etc etc); she has a long history of manipulating the game's art and saying its hers, and NH got tired of it. What the terminally white fandom mom didn't realise is that Gumroad is a commercial digital marketplace targeted for creative works which are only in digital medium. It doesn't matter if your content is free to download, it is still a place to exchange services and goods, and the exchange of services and goods doesn't stop being a exchange of services and goods because the price is either 0 or something ridiculously close to it.

I, personally, think this is hilarious.
