@heroicintention liked for a starter.

Ilya looked up when the door swung open. It was later in the evening and the store rarely got customers that late. And even more rarely ones that looked so... interesting. “Good evening, how can I help you?” Ilya said, perking up curiously, feeling more awake then he had in... two days. “What do you need?”

[ the first thing you thought of when you woke up? ]: I didn’t wake up, I found myself still awake. [ the song that best describes you? ]: I haven’t given it much though. [ your best feature? ]: People seem to like my hair. Alexei did last time I visited, although he was two at the time. [ your most treasured memory? ]: I’ve had a decent number of good memories. A single treasured one seems sad.

I N . T H E . F U T U R E

[ what is the age you hope to get married? ]: I’m already married. Although it’s a technicality at best. [ number and names of kids? ]: I have one, his name is Alexei. He’s my heir, and I have no desire for anymore. Once with a woman was more than good enough. [ where do you see yourself at age twenty? ]: I’m 22. At the time, I was moving to Britain to run the Gregorovich shop, my son was a year old at the time. [ describe your dream wedding? ]: Preferably never again. I have no desire for Nadia to die anytime soon, and I don’t like the idea of a long term relationship. [ when and how do you want to die? ]: I’ll die soon enough. It seems pointess to fantasize about it. [ what are your career plans? ]: As it stands, inherit from my father eventually. For now I’m content running the store in Britain. [ some place you’d like to visit? ]: I would like to spend more time in France.

L A S T . T I M E

[ have you felt this recently? ]: I miss Nadia, daily. She is my best friend. [ what do you wear to bed? ]: Sweatpants, if anything. Sometimes more depending on the weather. [ when’s the last time you slept with a stuffed animal? ]: Right before I left for England the first time. Although that was more I was asleep holding Alexei who had stuffed animals. [ have you ever used a ouija board? ]: A we-ji board? Is it muggle? [ how many rings before you pick up the phone? ]: Another reference to the phone? As I said, I’ve never used one.

“May I have this dance?” //demon!rae @ her master Ilya??

@ring-of-azar

Ilya looked up from the wand he was working on, shaving away the rough outside. Geoffrey had left hours ago, and the music he’d put on to ‘liven up the shop’ was still playing softly in the background. Ilya wasn’t sure what exactly it was, but he also wasn’t concerned enough to change it. 

He shifted his attention to the demon that was, at least for now, under his control. “Why not? This isn’t going far.” He stood up, stretching, and folded his glasses, setting them gently beside the half finished product. He stepped away from the desk, and offered Raven a hand. “I didn’t know you knew how to dance.”

• QUICK STATS •

NAME :: Ilya Adrick Gregorovich NICKNAME :: n/a FANDOM :: Harry Potter GENDER :: Male ORIENTATION :: gay BIRTHDAY :: April 15th, 1977 ZODIAC :: Aries SHIPS ::  /Viktor, /Percy, chemistry.

• BIOGRAPHY •

Born to Émilie Lestrange, and Adrick Gregorovich, Ilya was the younger of two cousins born within the same months. Growing up, he was taught of what might become his buisiness one day. And of the expectations for a pureblood heir. It was during his earlier years that his parents arranged a marriage between him, and the Banelis's daughter, Nadia. Neither of them wanted the marriage, but by the time they started schools, they had become friends. Attending Durmstrang he excelled in his courses, and joined the Quidditch team as a chaser. And it was during his tenure as a student that his uncle, father and grandfather decided that he, not his cousin Anton, would inherit.

Ilya travelled to Hogwarts during his sixth year for the tri-wizard tournament, as Karkaroff's aid, (that's not to say he liked Karkaroff of course.). At the end of the year, he travelled back to Durmstrang and graduated the next year. Marrying Nadia, and having their son within the next year, Ilya pent much of the two years after his graduation caring for, and preparing to move to Britain to take over the Gregorvich shop in Diagon Alley.

A workaholic at best, Ilya is a sarcastic human being with an interest in history, and knows far more than anyone suspects, or wants him to. He has limited interest in any long term relationships (Nadia doesn't count, she's a lesbian, and he's gay) but happy enough to sleep with various people, Ilya spends most of his days (and more nights than he would prefer) working, sending letters to Nadia, and when he can, flooing back to Lithuania to see his family, some of the only people he is affectionate towards.

@gothamoutllaw sent in a  ‘👌’ for a headcanon about our muses.

During Ilya’s time in America, he mentioned Jason enough in his messages to Nadia that she had started to suspect that maybe Jason had found a way into her best friend’s iron clad heart. (There was no worry of being replaced). She does decide to take Alexei and go crash Gotham though. There’s really no good way for Ilya to introduce Nadia and his son to Jason. (Alexei is like five at this point). 

[manynarrators]

❦ ? (( only if any of your muses are interested ofc !!

Oh yes! There is much shipping to be down for.

Not Tim, but in some extent I think the other three that you write with.

Ilya’s would be a more slow to develop, friend of necessity, followed by actual legitimate friendship, followed by his go-to, friend with benefits. (There’s a bit of a trend here, with Ilya avoiding emotions). Denial, and then actual, somewhat tentative romance. Nadia, his bests friend/wife, would absolutely love Jason, she’d find the idea that he got Ilya into a relationship utterly hilarious. (Their marriage is, as far as their families are concerned, perfect. To them, it’s the barest of technicalities. He’s gay, she’s a lesbian).

Icarus would be the accidental, ‘everyone thinks we’re dating but we aren’t, right?’ trope, until he realizes that yes, they’ve been dating in everything but name for three months. It’s also at that point he realizes that he hasn’t thought about Apollo in that time, and that he looks forward to quiet nights at his apartment, or one of Jason’s safe houses with either take out or a cooked meal and a movie. He isn’t throwing himself at the nearest suicidal opportunity to die. But yeah he’d realize that he’s in love with Jason all at once, because he really just didn’t notice the signs until that point.

And Michael. Oh yes. He is already at least a little in love with Jason, I think. Jason cares about him, isn’t afraid of him, in the one thread, he’s worried enough about the threat of Michael being killed to both text him, and offer him a place to stay. He won’t say anything because the idea that Jason could like him back is ridiculous, it would never happen. Not him, Jason is so much better. He deserves someone better. Michael would in a heartbeat take up a mantle to go into the streets to make sure Jason didn’t get himself shot. It might take a bit for Michael to stop seeing himself as an unlovable monster (months of an emotionally manipulative relationship would give anyone issues). I think part of Michael has had at least a bit of a crush on Jason since the night they met if I’m honest.

(I would be so down for an AU with J and M where they meet on the street as kids and are like, childhood sweethearts, or as close to as they get in the circumstances when Jason is adopted. They lose contact, Michael sees that Jason does tragically, etc, etc, and meet years later after Jason has come back as the Red Hood).
