It has been 20 days since the second Kuroshitsuji hiatus was announced.

While reciting her daily devotions, Mathilda Simmons offers up a special prayer for Paula, asking for the kindhearted maid to be showered in blessings.

We could have had an OVA about Mathilda Simmons' life after the events of that episode, what it was like to be marked by a demon but not in a "It's gonna take my soul" way, but "I gave my virginity to a demon" way and how she seemed protected maybe NOT just from an angel but like, similar things like nasty people in general, perverts and twisted priests... She tries going to work at other churches and weird unfortunate things keep happening to the priests there and sometimes even the sisters... Sometimes during those attempts, she also senses things vaguely like the pureness of a person, especially children, and something nags at her when someone lies whether to her, or to someone else within hearing.. I just want a Mathilda Simmons focused plot!!! ... or fic...? 🤔

Spotlight Saturday: Paula and Mathilda the nun get a chance to shine

Like most of the women in Kuroshitsuji, Lizzy's maid Paula and Mathilda the nun from Season 1 are generally overlooked in fanon. Thankfully, @red-butler​ (Fishpaste on AO3) has written two fics that give these ladies the attention they deserve!

Five times Paula hated Ciel Phantomhive and One time she didn't

Paula has been with her mistress for many years now, watching her grow from a sweet loving child into a beautiful strong young woman. She's been there for all her joys and sorrows. Only...far too many of her sorrows seem to be centred around Earl Phantomhive. Paula can't help but hate the young boy who keeps breaking her mistress' heart.

Paula's unwavering devotion to and love for Lizzy shine in this fic. Each scene makes it abundantly clear how desperately Paula wishes for Lizzy's happiness, and she does everything she can to comfort Lizzy when O!Ciel hurts her feelings yet again. Another thing I liked about this fic (and that we don't see in most interpretations of Paula) is the maid's anger towards O!Ciel. How dare he continue to shut Lizzy out when she's bending over backwards to try to help him? It's only natural that Paula, who's unaware of O!Ciel's Faustian pact with Sebastian, would be filled with righteous indignation at the way he treats her mistress prior to the Campania arc. The end result is a Paula who isn't just a minor player but a three-dimensional, fully-realized character.

Cast Aside

Sebastian seduced the nun to get the information his Master required. Afterwards the cult was destroyed and the Queen's watchdog left without a second thought. what happened to Mathilda, a nun who has broken her vows, lost her family and now...perhaps even worse than she had thought...

Have you ever wished that Mathilda the nun had a better narrative than being exploited and tossed aside by Sebastian? Well, you're in luck, because this wonderful fic now exists! "Cast Aside" recounts how Mathilda, after discovering she is pregnant with Sebastian's child, moves to a little cottage in the country with the help of her old school friend Paula. Over the ensuing months, Mathilda is sustained by Paula's kindness and steadfast companionship, and the former nun gradually starts to realize the true nature of her feelings for the maid...

God, I love this story, and I was more than a little emotional by the time I reached the heartwarming conclusion. It's sweet and tender, with Mathilda and Paula literally living the sapphic cottagecore dream. Another aspect of the fic that I’m deeply grateful for is the portrayal of their love as pure and beautiful. One of the more painful aspects of the LGBTQ experience is being condemned as deviant and inherently sinful by society. Having stories like these that firmly rebut such harmful notions is so incredibly important. 12/10 would recommend!

I like to pretend that the first two seasons of the anime weren’t a thing....But to me Sebastian still fucked a nun.

Hi! About the Kuro Ladies week, I have a piece I've been working on for Matilda, the nun that Sebastian slept with in the anime? She hasn't got a day though, does she count enough as one of the Kuro ladies? :)

An excellent idea! Heaven knows the poor girl needs a better narrative. We’ll add her to the Saturday lineup (along with Nina, Irene, and Jane). Thanks for the suggestion! 🥰

Random Kuro AU: The Cambion

I was having some late-night thoughts about the Kuro ladies (as is my wont), and realized there was one in particular who I’ve neglected and who hasn’t exactly received the best treatment at the hands of the fandom: Mathilda Simmons the nun.

Based on a couple of screenshots from the Hamlet OVA, some have speculated that Mathilda’s infamous roll in the hay with Sebastian resulted in her being pregnant with his child. This set my fic-writer’s brain churning. Let’s say there’s some truth to this theory. If she survived said pregnancy, what would the child be like, and what would become of this single mother? Thus the idea for The Cambion was born. (”camion” is the term used to refer to half-human, half-demon children, especially if the demonic parent was an incubus or succubus)

In this AU, Sebastian was genuinely attached to O!Ciel (in a platonic father/son sense), which compelled him to stay on Earth after eating the Earl’s soul. Out of compassion, the Midfords add him and the other Phantomhive servants to their staff. I know this is improbable, but make-believe land can have whatever you want. :P Around this time, a pregnant and desperate Mathilda shows up at the doorstep--as a single mom, she has nowhere else to turn, and strange, unnerving things have been happening to her. The other Phantomhive servants are shocked and disappointed in Sebastian, and Frances Midford reads Sebastian the riot act, making it clear there will be hell to pay if he doesn’t take responsibility and help Mathilda out. Sebastian is forced to confess that he’s actually a demon because even he can’t explain away all the obvious signs that Mathilda’s carrying a diabolical child. Mathilda is understandably furious and upset at being duped by the butler, but she resolves to keep their baby, and the other servants rally around her and (eventually) forgive Sebastian for deceiving them and devouring O!Ciel. Through circumstances that I need to figure out, it’s revealed that Mathilda has a latent aptitude for witchcraft; this, along with Sebastian’s efforts, enable her and the child to survive delivery. Babey turns out to be a son, who Mathilda names Eusebius (”pious”; he’s called “Eusie” for short). His character design is heavily based on Yato from Noragami. Eusie can be quite a handful; he’s a naughty little scamp with an unfortunate tendency to get into scrapes, much to his mother’s dismay. It takes a while for him to master his dark powers (he has a lot of “horsepower,” which is challenging to manage), even with Sebastian’s guidance, and his very presence tends to attract all manner of supernatural creatures to the Midford residence. As he matures, Eusie grows into a mighty warlock with a knack for necromancy. Sometimes, he can cruel and ferocious.

Most of the time, though, he’s a lovable dork.

Along the way, Mathilda would grow into a powerful witch in her own right and realize that she’s actually a lesbian (and maybe settle down with a loving wife). Though her relationship with Sebastian is rocky at first, they gradually come to stand on equal footing and put aside their differences for the sake of their son.

I have no clue what (if anything) I will do with this idea, but I thought I’d go ahead and write it into existence.
