"WHICH you won't have to wait too long for. I have chapter 10 all ready to go 😊 In fact I am good up to chapter 12. It's just beyond that I need to get to work on! "

WAIT! You have chapter 10 ready to go?! So, we will get an update... like, this month (Jun)????!!! Please say it is so!! 😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😂 I really don't want to pressure you, but I'm so DYING to read the next chapter, you have no idea!! 😂😭 But seriously, I don't want to rush you, if the chapter still need proofreading and whatnot then take your time. Otherwise! Hand it over!!! 👈🏻 (joking 😂)

"I may write a post about my internal struggles plot-wise with this fic - maybe it'll help 🤷‍♀️"

Talking & Sharing your struggles can help sometimes. It lift the weight from your chest, I know that from experience. I will definitely give it a read if you feel comfortable enough sharing it with us.

Alright, I think 3 asks in less than 24 hours are enough. 😅 I don't want to spam you & weird you out with so many asks. I will send one once you upload the next chapter. Until then, take care.

Yess, the update will be in June! So BASICALLY, without being too spoiler-y - although I suppose it's not spoiler-y now, but in a way it could be - there is a certain couple that we waited a longgggg time for them to finally get together, and in Prophecy, from day one, I'd planned for a (brief) break up to occur between them. For years it was happening, the story was structured with this being a key event. And it isn't the couple who are currently split up, either 😬

Before, it felt organic, key to the plot progression - it was happening. Without getting a little TMI on my personal life, my own marriage was going through some turmoil at this time, so I now feel upon reflection I was just projecting a bit. A break down felt inevitable at the time, so I guess it was a little bit of life imitating art... I'm very happy to say my marriage is stronger than ever and all is well (17 years this year, we're not going anywhere 😆), and I went a long period of time without looking at any of my writing. When I came back to it recently I read through the plans and I was just.. Stumped. There was no way I was splitting them up. And not even from a fan-girling/shipper stand point, it just wasn't organic at all. It was in fact a bit of a slap round the face. To the readers, and to myself. It felt like 'hmm, what would make things spicy? I know, another break up'. I just didn't like it. But there were some key events that need to happen that won't make sense for other plot points if I remove those as well as the break up.

SO. I have decided to work with the life imitating art thing, but differently - I feel it's way more interesting to watch two people get through tough times without parting ways than it is to just watch them both instantly bail. And I have life experience of this, as do a lot of people, I'm sure.

Sorry this is so long - and sorry if it is a bit spoiler-y, I don't think that many people frequent my tumblr anyway so... Thanks for reading & sticking around, as always! 🫶

Now that's a chapter that heals the soul!!!! 😭😭😭 I'm so glad we can finally put Esmé behind us!!

So much happened that I don't even know where to start, so let's start with my favorites: the Reds. So, Brick is a "Pristini" now! Interesting! Where did you get that word from? English isn't my first language, but I don't think it's an English word. I also found what Brick read interesting: "Once a Pristini, the former Demon will lose all but a hint of their demonic abilities." Okay, I think I got my answer about his slight resistance to heat (it was kind of mentioned by Blossom in Choices) and his supposed visions of the future when he sleeps. And we got an answer about his immunity too. He's completely immune, while Blossom has a level of protection against Demons' powers, but not complete immunity. However, Blossom can kill Demons just by touching them. So, there are pros for both Blossom and Brick. I still want to learn more about Angels and "Pristinis" (if there is still more about them to learn). I hope there will be more facts to share about them in the next chapter(s).

What almost made me cry, though, was Blossom. The way she was broken after failing to save Esmé... It made me think of what you said before. Were the Reds the couple you were talking about when you said you had originally planned to break them up too? 🥲💔 If the Reds were indeed the ones you were talking about, then I have one thing to say: LEAVE THEM ALONE!!! 😭

As for the Greens, I'm so happy they finally made up! 😭💚 However, there's still that kiss with Cody! I'm both scared and excited for the next chapter. Ashleigh will definitely post the picture, and Cody will make a fuss over Buttercup "going back to the one who cheated on her." I want both of them to face KARMA! Especially Cody! He completely ruined his chances (if he ever had any) with Holly. I hope Holly decides she can do better and leaves him for good. I'm so pissed at him that I don't think there's any redemption for him anymore...

And let's not forget the Professor. Now, him calling Professor Winter makes sense. But why was he calling his mom? Did he talk to her about him "having a girlfriend" while he was under Esmé's "cerebrokinesis" (that's what it's called, right?), or did something happen off-screen that he needs to apologize for? I can't remember him contacting his mother. Did he simply want to vent to her, for example?

There's still one thing that isn't clear to me, though. How come Esma knows more than Otis about the Angels and "Pristinis"? Is it because she's one of Him's favorites, so he teaches her more than the others, or is there something else? And then there's Christoph. He seems to know more than Otis too. And another thing: what's the deal with both Esmérelda and Christoph? Why are they so loyal to Him? Do they love what they are? Do some Demons actually like being... well, demons? Or is it just Him manipulating/brainwashing them until they submit to him?

Once again, a fantastic chapter. I hope the next one will be uploaded "soonish." You did say you're good through Chapter 12. Again, I don't want to pressure you, but I really want to know what will happen with the drama involving the Greens! xD And I want to read more about the Reds too. Thanks again for sharing this story with us. Take care! 🙏🏻

Ahh thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 🥹 So Pristini - it literally just means 'former' in latin. I couldn't find a word for the type of being I was looking for sooo I turned to latin 😅 Yes, it was the Reds that were supposed to split in Prophecy. It was only temporary - but I just can't do it. And it's not even about being "fan service'y" and keeping them together just because I like them together, or I know people who read do. Like I said previously, it felt forced when I came back to my original plans, and like a bit of a slap in the face to all they've been through. I feel like it's more interesting to see a couple go through difficulties but get through it together rather than showing some rough times and having them immediately part ways.. I know it's spoiler-y to say this, but rest assured, they're not going to be going through a break up any time soon! Not to mention it would just be too much after the Greens parting ways briefly. To then split the Reds up not long after, it feels cheap... So yeah, don't worry, I am leaving them alone 😅 So the Professor called his Mum, because at the end of the day, even though she is a nightmare, she is still his mother. And I suppose, for some of us, reaching out to a parent in hard times is a natural act. He called her because he was sad and upset and processing and just wanted to vent. Even though he knows his story will be talk of her neighbourhood, even though he knows she won't be able to resist spreading what had happened far and wide (with some ad libbing, I'm sure), sometimes talking to your Mum is what you need.. For some of us, anyway. I guess at his weakest moments he finds himself reaching out to her, then later regretting it..! Otis knows a lot. Otis picks and chooses what he shares with Brick and his brothers. Otis knows he's being watched. Otis knows he risks a lot when he does anything for Brick. But maybe he's a little sadistic, and has been a Demon for too long, and kinda enjoys the risk. And I guess that answers your question about Esmérelda and Christoph, too. Maybe they've been Demons for too long, too. Maybe they have learnt to love their chains. Maybe I don't wanna give too much away 😬😉 Thanks so much for reading! I will update sometime in July! 🫡

"7- Poor Buttercup! My heart broke for her in this chapter! 😢

7 - She's going through it.. You wait till the next chapter 🫠😬"

"8- Butch is the best boyfriend Buttercup could ever asked for! 😭

8 - 😬😬😬"

"you're all going to hate me after I post this next chapter 😬 Like chapter 8 is.. I'll just say sorry now."

...Oh my God... BRICK!!! DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!! 😭😭😭😭😭

Lol! Can't wait to see how you are gonna break my heart to pieces! xD 🥲

And honestly, don't worry too much. We're not going to hate you. I actually started caring about the greens (especially Buttercup) when they get involved in some heavy shit like this. I only read your fanfic for the Reds, I never cared about the Greens nor the Blues (especially the Blues). And that's not because you didn't write them well, it's just that they always were meh to me. xD

But the last chapter you did really made me care about Buttercup and sympathize with her. So, what you're doing is a good thing for her character (even though it was so painful to read! xD 😭).

So, don't worry and do what you do best. 🙂

And this is an Ask, so I should ask you something! 🤣: So, you said you don't know when you will update after chapter 8. Does that mean chapter 9 is not written yet? Because I remember you saying you had written until chapter 11.

Another question: When exactly do you think you will release chapter 8?

Hi! Love to hear you've become more invested in the greens! They're a close second to the reds for me - it's the blues I struggle with, which I think is clear in my writing. I do need to work on it. But yeah I'm with you, they reel me in the least too, however I want to get better at writing them in a way that does peak my own interests let alone anyone elses! Yeah I have written up to chapter 12 I do believe.. I am not 100 percent on that though as I haven't actually sat down & looked at any of my writing in a long time. I'm tackling tumblr first, then ao3 & ff.net! Then I'm going to look at updating. I'll be updating Prophecy first. I can't give you an actual date, or any idea of when it will be, how soon it will come etc.. But it will be soon. As I said in my previous response, things have been tough personally for me at the moment, but I'm trying to find my joy again & one of the ways I am doing that is to try and get back into writing. I miss it deeply. I'll try to be a little more forthcoming with general updates from here on out anyway. Thanks for sticking around regardless! MF

[madamefist]

Hi, Madamefist. It's been a while since your last update. I hope everything's okay with you. I get busy with a lot of stuff myself and forgot to give the latest chapter a second read. I saw you rebelog, and I remembered you. So, I just wanted to know if when you think the next update will be?

Hi there, Yeah, I know I kind of fell off the planet for a bit. But I'm feeling a bit more myself at the moment & hoping my personal situation will improve as it is seemingly.. I'm hoping to get Prophecy updated this week - possibly today if my work commitments permit it, so fingers and toes crossed (: Thanks for being patient with me xo

[madamefist]

I'm so late again to write this! But wow! Another fantastic chapter! Despite being a "slice of life" chapter, I really enjoyed reading it. A lot of stuff happened, so I will talk about each point in a separate "ask" (and of course, ask you a question! xD). First thing first: Brick & Blossom flirting in French & Spanish.... I. NEED. MORE. OF. THIS! 🤣 Seriously, even if you do a whole chapter of just that, I will still read it! xD Second: Brick & Blossom little "fight", Brick may have been harsh, but he's right, Blossom really needs to put herself first for once! Don't get me wrong, being selfless is cool & all, but you have to look for what you want to. So, yes, as harsh as it was, Blossom needed to hear it & I like Brick's half ass "apology"! xD And third thing is: Everyone downplaying Brick's kidnapping... Look, I'm not here comparing Brick & Blossom kidnapping and saying which is worse, but the way everyone brushed it off is really annoying me, like all he get "Yeah, it's fucked up I'm sorry this happened to you" and that's that. It screams, "He's a guy, he can deal with it" & I really don't like it. The school didn't even bother to check on him & no one cared to ask him if he's okay now, not the PPG, his brothers, or the Professor. And while he does look fine (or at least that's what he tells himself), it's still a bad taste in my mouth. So, my question for you is: Will this topic be tackled again? Or will it be left at that (since from the look of it, Brick doesn't appear to mind it much or at all)?

Thank you so much for reading, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I love writing Blossom and Brick flirting, particularly in front of people as I feel like it's something that doesn't happen often 🤣 I agree too - I see Brick being good at pulling out a little of the 'selfish' in her when it's appropriate. Okay so about the downplaying of Brick's abduction - I agree with you and I kind of did it on purpose. His brothers see him as someone who doesn't need to be asked if they are okay - he's always absolutely fine and he can handle anything! At least to their minds, anyway. You can rest assured Blossom has checked in on him behind closed doors, and know that they would have spoken about it a lot whilst they were still on the Cayman Islands. And with regards to the Professor, I think he's so swept up in checking on Blossom it's not crossed his mind to check in on Brick. I also feel like he too would be guilty of assuming Brick can handle himself, and just generally forgetting he is a parentless 18 year old boy. HOWEVER. This topic will be tackled again at some point soon in an upcoming chapter.

Hey, Madamefist. I'm glad to see you're updating here. I was just about to ask you when you will update Prophecy. It's good to hear it will be this week. Also, I'm happy to see Break the Cycle finally getting an update.

But I'm also wondering about something... Did my previous "ask" (which was sent a month ago, maybe more) not reach you?

Because I'm sure I did send it this time... I think... I hope I didn't write something inappropriate or if I was being too much... "wild" or "inappropriately friendly" in my last message, which is why it was ignored by you? If I was, then I apologise. Sometimes, I write stuff without giving them a second read or thought. Which then turned to awkward/cringe/inappropriate messages...

Anyway, I'm happy to hear about the Prophecy getting an update soon. I will be looking forward to what will unfold in the upcoming chapter.

Hii, no worries, I wasn't ignoring it at all, just been really swamped with work and real life stuff, that's all. You didn't do anything wrong, I'm just bad at managing my life 😅😂 I've answered your previous ask just now. And yes - I managed to update Break The Cycle - & Prophecy will follow shortly!

Thanks as always! 🖤

[madamefist]

Holy shit!!! First, Break The Cycle and now this chapter!!! 😱😱😭😭 My heart wasn't ready for all this angst!!! 💔

Esmé is.... she is not Sedusa... she is... SHE'S A DEMON! Yes, a female demon! A succubus! No! An evil succubus!!!! That what she is! She works for HIM!

And she's after Butch now... Good God! That scene was disturbing when she was INAPPROPRIATELY touching him! And both Butch AND Buttercup stood there and didn't stop her!!!

And the Professor! The hell?! He was an ASS to both Professor Winter and Blossom!

And oh my God! Freaking Melvin's letters!!! Seriously, it's a good thing you closed the chapter on the Reds flirting. Otherwise, I don't think my poor heart could handle it! xD

This chapter was somehow more disturbing than Breaking the Cycle's chapter. Seriously, Madamefist, well done!!! I have to praise you again for your wonderful writing!!! You made me both excited and fearful of what will happen in the next chapter! I really can't wait to read it! I really hope you update it sooner this time! 🙏🏻

But now... I... I think I need to collect my thoughts first before I give this chapter a second read/review and ask you questions.

I think I need fluff. Yeah... maybe I will go back to read the "Ice World" chapter again. Yeah, I think I will do that. Fluff is good... Angst is bad! xD Talk to you later.

You know what, I was thinking if anyone who reads both fics, they'll go from Break The Cycle like 'oh my god, no - Professor, I love you! 😭' then to Prophecy like 'wtf Professor?! 😠' 😂😅 All I'm gunna say is.. Hope you don't mind some angst too much 😬🙃 They'll be fluffy stuff sprinkled around too - I promise! Yes - go back to the 'Ice World'!! 😂 Thanks for reading xo

[madamefist]

Okay, now I'm sure I didn't click on send when I wrote the review (I mean the "ask" 🤣😅), I remember writing it right after I read the chapter (which was about 4 weeks from now) but it seems I forgot to send it to you, my bad. Anyway, here it is:

OMG! I couldn't stop laughing at how the girls and the boys reacted to the "Maybe Baby"! 🤣 Especially Buttercup and Butch! Seriously, how do you come up with these ideas?! Don't tell me they gave you fake babies in school, too! 🤣 But really, I loved this section of the chapter. It was both funny and informative to these horny teens! And by horny teens, I mean Kim! xD Maybe this will make her claim down a bit. I loved how Buttercup reacted when Butch turned off the fake baby. I can already see she will be a great mother. And for Blossom & Brick... yeah, the "world" is really rubbing it in their faces now with whole little girl thing. I did notice Blossom at being honest with Brick while trying to make the image of the leader to Buttercup. I noticed both of them do the same thing actually; Brick is maintaining the image of always being in control (just like you mentioned to me before about how his brothers view him) and Blossom trying to appear that way for the same reason. Whether it was intentional on your part or not, it's really something I like to see in the Reds and love when it gets explored; the whole leader/big sibling mentality.

And oh boy! We got a new villain! Esmé was it? Yeeaaaaah, this one screams Sedusa! But I won't jumb to the conclusion just yet becausee it seems this lady can "manipulate" (as she described it) both men and women. Either Sedusa powers increased or this is a whole different person. It seems she can also manage to get the ppg/rrb on her side somehow! Except for Brick.... HUMMMMM?! Why is my boy Brick not affected by her? Does it have to do with his DEMON PWO- okay, I will stop. 😅 xD

Oh yeah! I almost died laughing when I read the girls reaction to the Professor french kissing Esmé! I don't care what this woman did to him. The PPG should never EVER let him live this one down after all the restrictions he put them through with their boyfriends! 🤣🤣🤣

I'm so excited to read the next chapter. Can't wait to see who is Esmé and what her attentions are. What will become of the blues (didn't forget about their little drama). Why is Brick not affected by her "powers"? And most importantly, will the Professor be able to look in his daughters eyes after this incident? 🤣

Again, sorry for just sending this message now. Take care now.

Heyy, don't worry at all! I'M sorry for taking soo long to respond to you. I'm glad you enjoyed the Maybe Babies! It wasn't written from experience, I just know it's a popular 'trope' I suppose in a lot of US, high school tv shows etc so I thought it'd be interesting to watch them all muddle through it 🤣 I toyed with the 'bag of flour' idea initially but I knew only Blossom, potentially Bubbles, would take that seriously. It needed to scream in order to get everybody's attention 😈

I really like the big sibling/leader/maternal/paternal thing with the reds too - I love writing Brick as reluctant on the surface but cares deep down too. He's got a soft centre - you just gotta dig deep 😊 We do got a new villain! & I'm gunna keep it short & sweet on that subject as I don't want to give anything away 🤐🤣 I will be updating this week for definite - early next week the very latest but I promise chapter 6 is coming. Thanks for sticking around 🤍
