A Devyn and Saeclus scene, inspired by a vicbert scene @secretarykang sent me.

It's centered around the AU in which Saeclus survives, and Devyn is recalling the time where she thought he'd been killed died. The he in the first sentence she speaks is referring to Karlheinz.

Devyn and Saeclus' Children

I am sooo excited for this one, you don't even know. Me and @secretarykang have talked about this a few times and I can't help but share these headcanons with you

They have three children. Two sons and one daughter.

Originally, they wanted to have two, but Devyn's second pregnancy turned out to be twins.

Their first son, Silas, was born two years before the twins. He has Devyn's soft blonde hair, and otherwise, looks exactly like Saeclus. Sharp eyes and delicate features.

His name was chosen by Saeclus, and it's the shorter form of the name Silvanus, who is the "Roman god of the forests". Though it could also be the Greek version of the name Saul, meaning "asked for" or "prayed for".

Silas also acts like Saeclus, and he was the calmest and happiest baby. So well-behaved and quiet and lively that Devyn and Saeclus were convinced parenting is always that easy.

And then along came the twins, a daughter and a son, to change that whole thought process.

Funnily enough, neither Devyn nor Saeclus had any idea that she was pregnant with twins, so it came as quite the surprise in the delivery stage. Though, neither of them minded much.

The daughter is named Aurora and the son Dante. They both have Saeclus' hair color, Aurora looks the most like Devyn out of all the siblings, while Dante is a perfect mix of Saeclus and Devyn's features.

Aurora means "the dawn" in Latin and was the "Roman goddess of the morning". And Dante is the shortened form of Italian Durante which means "enduring".

Aurora and Dante are absolute chaos children, completely unlike the calm and non-troublesome Silas, and they raise all hell for Devyn and Saeclus even as toddlers.

As stated before, the three kids have distinctly different personalities.

Silas is the most like their father. He's calm, compassionate, and artistic. He is trained in combat and educated in many subjects.

As the eldest son of the joint Sanguine and Kang families, he has a lot of expectations to meet - not just from his parents but also from the rest of his peers - and this has made him the most hardworking and responsible of three children.

However, Devyn and Saeclus do not repeat the Sanguine family's mistake of suffocating Silas with his responsibilities, work and education. Silas is allowed to freely explore his hobbies, and they both encourage his love for art and literature.

Now, Aurora is most like Devyn in both looks and personality. She's confident, strong-willed and academic.

She loves to explore the world of science aside from her usual studies. And who better to teach her than Karlheinz, Devyn's best friend. She's super intelligent and has neverending curiosity. While she is a constant reminder to Karl that he could never have Devyn, he can't help but love her for how much she acts like the woman he loves.

Saeclus is definitely a lot less disciplinary with Aurora, because he's never had a daughter before and has no experience on how to deal with them. He's had some experience with sons with Carla and Shin and some other children before. So most of the disciplining for Aurora is left to Devyn.

And in the end, we have Dante. The perfect blend between Devyn and Saeclus. Dante is charming, well-spoken and easy-going.

He's probably very similar to what young Dong Hwa Kang and Nocsis Sanguine were like. Dante is super attractive and he's also polite and playful, inheriting Saeclus' effortless air of regality and mystique, and Devyn's charisma and skill with words. He'll probably keep playing around until he really falls in love with someone.

Saeclus and Devyn probably have to scold and chide Dante a lot for some of his behavior, but they love him just as much as Aurora and Silas. He also probably reminds his grandfather the most of himself when he was younger.

Silas has to babysit Aurora and Dante all the time, so he's quite fed up with these two troublemakers. That being said, Silas doesn't tolerate it if someone outside of family tries to tell Aurora or Dante off.

Aurora and Dante are absolute partners in crime, and one of their biggest missions in life is getting a rise out of their older brother at least once a week. They would have tried on their father, only he gave them the most intense look of silent disapproval and they just guiltily walked away.

I love this little family, expect to hear more from them soon ❤️

already told you i’ll send this one lol

🦇- Trying to feed off of your muse!

The wedding had been absolutely beautiful, a mix of cultures between the two species, and the afterparty had been something that everyone in attendance would remember for centuries. But the dead hours of the night had approached now, and the couple had excused themselves to their room.

Saeclus' hand had been placed on Devyn's waist the whole night, and it would remain there even as they approached their room. He had a smile on his face the whole night, as he always would when Devyn was with him.

Feeding off your spouse is a tradition that goes back generations in the Demon World, and they had no plans of skipping on that. Saeclus could feel his fangs ache as he closed the door to their room, a faraway feeling to the ancient First Blood.

"Goodness, darling, your scent is already enough to make my more demonic side show itself." He turns around with a smile, observing her reaction. "Does that disappoint you?"

for saeclus <3 ✔️ for a daydream my muse has had about/involving yours and ✉ for a written letter from my muse.

I think this one will turn into a full on ficlet because Saeclus and Devyn just have that effect on me...

RELATIONSHIP BUILDING prompts

Raindrops Against The Window

"Who would have imagined a few days could feel like years passing...?" Saeclus mused to himself, taking his seat in the library.

Alone for the first time in weeks. The feeling is almost foreign now. Having only one teacup on the table, one dish for deserts, and leftovers of the apple strudel she'd made for him before.

He leaned further back into the sofa, bringing the lone cup to his lips in a hushed hum of contentment. Eyelids flutter shut as he sips the tea within the cup - herbs and sugar heaped in, just the way he likes it - and smiles to himself. And the smile speaks for itself:

He's thinking of her again. But the time is a little different.

The quiet tapping of the rain against the window snaps him from his thoughts, and he turns to watch the grey and dull sky. The sound is quiet yet persistent,

It's all an image. A clear vision - as if it were not produced by the mind's drunken state of missing one's beloved. So detailed that he almost called it a memory or a premonition...

There she stood. In the middle of the freshly wet concrete among the flowers, the smell of her favorite orchids thick in the air, the light after-rain wind sending her hair flowing. With a content smile on her rosy lips and her eyes opening to look into his own, the image was a testament to her eternal beauty.

She'd turn around, her dress skirt going into a flurry at the graceful step, and walk towards him with the same poise. He can feel a smile etch itself upon his lips even then, mesmerized and in awe.

And she knows just the effect her presence has on him. She takes his hands into her own, the bliss of her touch is delightful, and her eyes lock with his in a soft and intimate look. Before he knows it, he's leaning down and-

His eyes open when he feels his hair falling into his face. It seems he's leaned down unconsciously at the daydream, his face close to the flowers on the table. So he takes his time to smell them.

As expected, fragrant orchids.

He pulls back only to look back outside, at the still weeping sky of the Demon World, and thinks back to the woman he had been dreaming about some moments ago. His hand then lightly beckons forward his pen, ink and paper from the library's study across him. He must write to her today, even if just for that dream...

"Dearest Devyn,

The days seem longer without you by my side, further fueling my desire to reunite with you soon. Despite that, I wish you fruitful and lovely times by your father's side.

At the mention of his name, I believe it's wise to address the matter: I've decided to take your words of advice and prepared a fitting gift for him. A masterfully crafted sword from the middle centuries named Slaughterer for the hundreds of battles it's fought and the thousands of lives it's taken.

Aside from that, I shall also bring you some of the Feuerrot that I'd promised before. Did you enjoy the Sahellas flowers' essence? It's their blooming season, so I could bring you more if you'd like me to.

I would have loved to show you the blooms by the mountainside in person in this instance, yet I suppose we shall have to wait for that. The rain and damp air of today will leave the air freshened. If only you were here, the walk that we'd take through the forest towards the lake would be heavenly.

My heart goes out to you, this moment, and every single one that shall follow it. Please do take regular time off your work and allow yourself to relax and rest, though I'm not sure how seriously you will take this last request.

Sincerely with love,

Saeclus."

The letter would arrive through the box she'd left behind a few hours later, a single flower plastered to the end of it: forget-me-not.

Ⓐ

My absolute darlings coming right up ❤️

Send me Ⓐ and my muse will rate yours

Attractiveness:

repulsive || hideous || ugly || not attractive || unappealing || not unattractive || meh || no preference || ok || mildly attractive || nice looking || cute || adorable || attractive || pleasant on the eyes || good looking || hot || sexy || beautiful || gorgeous || hot damn || would tap that || perfect || godlike || holy fuck there are no words

Saeclus: As any other Lord of the realm, rumors had reached me of Lady Devyn Kang's unrivaled charm and beauty long before I had met her in person. What I had not expected, however, was to find that the rumors hardly do her any justice.

Eyes that set the mood, a rounded face, and softly flowing hair like silk - positively otherworldly, I would say.

Personality:

grating || irritating || frustrating || boring || confusing at best || awkward || unreasonable || psychotic || disturbing || interesting || engaging || affectionate || aggressive || ambitious || anxious || artistic || bad tempered || bossy || charismatic || appealing || unappealing || creative || courageous || dependable || unreliable || unpredictable || predictable || devious || dim || extroverted || introverted || egotistical || gregarious || fabulous || impulsive || intelligent || sympathetic || talkative || up beat || peaceful || calming || badass || flexible

Saeclus: I have always known Devyn as a woman of unshakable foundation. A strong mind and unyielding will to serve her people and her country - truly admirable in both cunning and loyalty.

Yet there has always been this warmth about her - I'm unsure of how to describe it, but in our many talks and letters, she has been friendly and kind. There is fierceness to her commands, and yet softness in her touch.

How likely they would have sex with them:

not if they were the last person on earth and the world was ending || fuck no! || never || no way || not likely || not sure || indifferent || I’m asexual || maybe || probably || it depends || fairly likely || likely || yeah sure || yes || would tap that || hell yes || fuck yes! || wishing that could happen right now || as many times as possible || we are already having sex

Saeclus: That is a very personal matter, I wish to keep most details and discussions private. But I won't deny that the thought has crossed my mind. Specifically following the night of our engagement.

I do believe we will be intimate, only after the wedding, as is custom and tradition.

Level of Friendship:

never in a million years || worst of enemies || enemies || rivals || indifferent || neutral || acquaintance || friendly toward each other || casual friends || friends || good friends || best friends || fuck buddies || bosom buddies || practically the same person || would die for them || true friends || my only friend ||

Saeclus: I believe we've had a sense of companionship even through our very first meetings. Devyn has always been so kind to me - sweet and yet sincere. And I shan't forget the time I left Vampire Lands, thinking I had found an unexpected friend.

Even now, she is as close to me as I feel anyone could be. And I know what she means when she narrows her eyes, pouts through her lips or crosses her arms against her chest. We feel like family - like home.

First impression of them:

I hate them so much || I don’t like them || I don’t trust them || they annoy me || they’re weird || I’m indifferent || meh || they seem alright || they’re growing on me || truce || I think I like them || I like them || I’m not sure if I trust them || I trust them || they’re cool || they’re genuine || I think we’re going to get along || I really like them || I think I’m in love || oh fuck they’re hot || I love them

Saeclus: I had been cautious, yet intrigued to meet the Lady Devyn Kang, of whom almost every noble Lord spoke of. I knew she was clever and sensible from the very first words she spoke in the meeting - and that she was fierce and loyal to her nation from the next.

As I have already mentioned, during the trip I received much favor from her - and left feeling as though I had made an unlikely confidant.

Current impression of them:

I hate them so much || I don’t like them || I don’t trust them || they annoy me || they’re weird || I’m indifferent || meh || they seem alright || they’re growing on me || truce || I think I like them || I like them || I’m not sure if I trust them || I trust them || they’re cool || they’re genuine || I think we’re going to get along || I really like them || I think I’m in love || oh fuck they’re hot || I love them

Saeclus: The lack of spoken words here are not due to a lack of topics to discuss, rather I have entirely too much to say and feel, and I'm not sure I would be able to pick the correct words for each occasion and feel-

I suppose we shall keep it simple: Meluthineth (I love her).

How good of a kisser:

worst kisser ever || terrible || bad || awkward || just okay || alright || pretty good || good || makes me moan || excellent || exciting || oh god they’re good || I dream about it || fucking amazing || absolute perfection || we haven’t kissed

Saeclus: Again, this sounds too private to ask of me- so I shall be brief. She is certainly skilled. Feather soft lips that ignite fire within the skin, and Devyn does know how to use them.

She makes every kiss feel like my first - I'm just as elated and hungry for more afterwards.

Devyn and Saeclus - part 4

"How incredibly tragic, the conclusion of this tale will be...

Still, I wish to see it to the end."

"He watches you with intense eyes.

I know that look.

That's the look that will cost us our future."

Devyn and Saeclus - relationship headcanons

More from the perspective of Saeclus rather than Devyn (@secretarykang)

Saeclus is the calmest man ever. Pretty much nothing can startle him or make him act up irrationally. Which is to say, he'll behave himself around Devyn at all times, no exception.

Asks her for a dance at every formal event and they dance so beautifully that it's burning holes into the eyes of some jealous people (it's karheinz, he's people). Saeclus couldn't care less though, he just enjoys dancing with his beloved Devyn.

Not a big fan of PDA, but won't shy away from a small kiss should it come his way. He would rather keep it personal and private, but will walk arm in arm with her at every occasion.

In private, he is nothing short of a romance story male lead. Seriously. Forehead and back of the hand kisses, soft but engulfing hugs, his nose softly brushing against hers, eyes that look at her like she's the best thing he's ever laid his gaze upon.

Devyn helps Saeclus sleep more peacefully, for some reason that neither of them can explain. Saeclus often suffers from nightmares, so he used to skip sleeping as much as possible. But with Devyn by his side, he can finally sleep soundly.

They are always holding on to each other when they share a bed, often Saeclus is the big spoon, but sometimes he needs some spoiling so Devyn takes over.

Everyone was surprised when they announced their engagement. Devyn's dad, Dong Hwa, was informed before the rest of the world. Saeclus was not intimidated by him in the slightest, if anything he was just nervous about getting his approval.

Karlheinz didn't take this well, evidenced by his following actions, but Saeclus is not impressed by the King's interference with his relationship with Devyn at all. He isn't blind, sir, he can see you trying to break him and Devyn up. But it's so much fun watching Devyn tell him off everytime that he never gets involved directly.

Saeclus doesn't get jealous, he trusts Devyn and knows that she is faithful to him under any circumstance, and he doesn't see a point in throwing a fuss over someone flirting with Devyn or trying to sway her over.

I mean hello?? It's Devyn Kang, of course people would want her even after she's already with someone.

Saeclus has drawn a portrait of Devyn that is kept in his artroom in the Sanguine Manor, but he would give it to Devyn if she wanted. It's not going to be the last time he draws her anyway.

Saeclus quickly agrees when Devyn says that she wants to keep her maiden name. He honestly sees no reason to have her change her name at all.

Even if they don't technically need to eat, they still love to share meals together at any chance they get. Bonus points when Devyn has made the food, or they've cooked together.

Very protective of Devyn's pride. Try to bad mouth her, even slightly, in his presence and he will bite your dignity right back. He knows Devyn is very capable of doing that herself, but he can't help being offended on her behalf.

He won't hesitate to kill for her either. The smallest hint of an attempt on her life, or something close, and Saeclus will end your miserable existence and erase every trace of you off the face of the world. He isn't here to play around, so watch your back when you can't watch his.

They don't fight. Sure, there are times when their discussions get a little heated, especially when their races and the Great War gets mentioned, but with Saeclus being as calm as he is, and a de-escalating factor, it never gets to the point of an actual fight between them.

Saeclus styles her hair for her, since he has practice from years of having long hair and learning from his mother, and he knows how to do any hairstyle she's like on her.

Saeclus is a very lonely person, he's watched many ages of the world pass and the people he had known as family and friends disappear slowly. He was convinced that he would die alone and before long, his name would only be known as a military general and a ruthless tactician.

But now, having the warm presence of Devyn by his side, he thinks that may not be entirely true. And that there will be someone - some people - who will remember him as he was.

REFLECT for sae about the whole almost getting killed by karl ( big L for karl lol)

This is actually perfect because it's a very different kind of trauma than what Sae is used to. Thank you love, I hope you enjoy ❤️

Saeclus, at Death's Door

Event Description:

Karl had set everything up perfectly. Fabricating an urgent letter from Carla - with such mastery and precision that not even Saeclus could tell it was fake - asking Saeclus for assistance, it was easy enough to get him alone in the secluded wastelands that were once prime territories of the First Bloods.

The hard part for Karl was using the dagger he'd taken from a Guardian Angel a few years back, after successfully eliminating them.

The Heavenly Mirror; one of the Guardians' weapons, specifically designed to kill demon-kind when a lethal wound was inflicted, was now in the possession of the King of Vampires.

He had convinced Burai and Tartulla, one rumored to be the strongest of the new werewolves and expected to take the place of Gottfried one day, to accompany him in this mission. Tartulla for the glory it would bring to him and the werewolves name and Burai for the potential threat Saeclus posed to the matter of his succession through the connections he has with Claire.

Everything went smoothly. Finally, the moment came when the three had a confused Saeclus at the edge of the seal over Banmaden, alone and weary from the long travel and his latest attempt at taking down the seal completely.

The battle was hard and rather long, and at the end of it all, no one had escaped without ailments. Karlheinz had quite the gash in his side, Burai received three new scars and Tartulla lost an eye and four fingers. And Saeclus was stabbed right in the ribs with the Heavenly Mirror.

At that point, his fate was sealed. And the three retreated cheerfully, believing to have reduced the First Bloods' influence over the world to none now. And he would have died there, had it not been for the help of one young Angel.

The Aftermath:

This event made Saeclus' guard skyrocket again. His cautiousness became three times the usual amount, and he hid his presence from the world until he had regained some of his strength. Even then, he only revealed himself when he saw spies of the Kang family, people under Devyn and Dong Hwa's direct command, and let them take him to Devyn.

At first, after the incident, he was suspicious of everyone and everything. He even considered the possibility of Devyn having led him into a trap, but when he saw how worried she had been for her, he dismissed the thought. It was silly of him to think that, but he was paranoid.

It's not every day that someone makes an attempt on his life and comes this close to succeeding. And while he isn't exactly the most enthusiastic to continue living, he's just found a connection and a person that makes him believe in his own future again.

And while he was made paranoid, he also found the experience somewhat eye-opening. Both for the fact that he needs to be more careful and considerate, and for the realization that he isn't quite ready to die just yet.

"I can't die... Not yet. I have not experienced a life with love yet."
