So since MC from my roommates from another universe is a different version of the MC from the house next door can we know more about that version of MC's family?
I am happy dancing reading this ask. You have no idea how much I wanna talk about this specific subject! The characters mentioned belong to @battlemaiden13 & if you haven't read her amazing story The House Next Door, please go do so.
The Parents:
Hank: MC's late father
Mother: MC's mother (she has no name in HND and I will not name her, so she will remained unnamed), important figure in their home country, her fate since timelines merged is unknown
The Siblings:
Asha: MC's oldest brother, worked in politics, fate unknown
Ashely: Asha's twin sister & MC's only sister (Ashely is my OC, since some of the skeletons from the hotel mentioned in some timelines MC had a sister, I thought this might be a fun addition), volunteered at schools, hospitals, homeless shelters and orphanages & often put functions together to raise money or donation drives for those less fortunate, fate unknown
Nathan: MC's older brother (3rd oldest sibling & 2nd oldest brother), worked as a scientist, developed magical weapons and gadgets with Damian and Michael, fate unknown
Damian: MC's older brother (4th oldest sibling & 3rd oldest brother), formerly in charge of a special task force in their home country's military, former weapons expert, fate unknown

My Roommates From Another Universe - Chapter 6:
A couple of days had passed with your new house guests and things were… oddly comfortable. Saffron and Romance would playfully flirt with you and sometimes boldly ask to sleep with you. That flattered you and boosted your ego to no end. The brothers were very attractive and put together, so for them to find you attractive enough to want to sleep with? Yeah, you felt great.
You, of course, turned their offer down every time. It wasn’t often you had sex. It just wasn’t your thing. Every once and while you would indulge but that was under very specific circumstances. One of those things being that you had to know the person.
You had just met these two. Maybe once you got to know them better you’d see if they were still interested. Until then, if you ever got the itch, you’d see if any of your friends would be interested in helping you.
That’s a thought for another day, though. Right now, you had other things on your mind. You were sitting in comfortable silence with the four skeletons currently in your house while you were working on the details for your future projects. You were laying on the living room floor with Fresh next to you, only he was laying the opposite direction with his next next to yours.
Not me. Needing a spreadsheet for my fanfic
My Roommates From Another Universe - Chapter 7:
(Originally posted on AO3 - September 28th, 2025)
Belladonna. That was the name that your brother Damian had gifted you when you joined his special military team. The world you had been born into was run by a king. However, he was more like a dictator. Your family had long served the royal bloodline and so were in high standing.
However, the people of the country did not like you or your family. They would never say it to your faces but you knew… and you hated it. You never wanted to be a part of that mess. You were forced into it.
Your father had tried to keep you out of it for as long as possible. Until he had gone missing and presumed dead. After that, you began your training at the age of six. Most of it was useful and relevant for the world you lived in. So, in some way, you were grateful.
