hi I've been rotating The Necromancer in my head again could I get some post canon hurt/comfort fluff (no one dies au) with him and a reader who is willing to have a villain arc about this but is far more focused on making sure their dumbass crush is okay? maybe a bit of mutual pining?
obviously u dont have to get in all of that but i am having ideas again and ur writing is very good so
The crystal had shattered.
The princess returned home.
The kingdom was full of light and joy once more.
But you were pissed off.
Why?
Because those two idiotic “heroes” nearly beat Mark, the infamous Necromancer who so-happened to be your crush, to death...with one of their own injured bodies.
You didn’t even know how that was possible.
The sight of him lying unconscious at the base of his throne had you scared. At first you legitimately thought he was dead and revived him swiftly, but after he told you what happened..you didn’t know whether to laugh or not. And he took great offense to this as you patched up his bruises.
“This is serious, [y/n]! Do you think I would lie?!”
“Maybe? Because I thought the “all-powerful Necromancer” would be smart enough to conjure up some kind of magic defense! I can’t believe you just laid there and took it.”
“But it was an attack I’ve never seen before!” He pouted. “Nothing could have prepared me for it!”
Rolling your eyes, you just listened to his excuses, along with the sounds of his undead minions rebuilding the defenses around Mt. Nasty that were destroyed.
"I swear I’m gonna have a villain arc over this someday..but that shall come another time.”
Mark chuckled a bit, touched by your vow. “Awh, you would turn evil just for me?”
You shot him a look. “For your dumb ass? Any day of the week.”
Hi friend 👋 I just recently found out about the necromancer that Mark plays in The mystic crystal 😅 and was wondering if you could do a Necromancer Mark x reader where she's from the same universe as Danny and Ninja Brian and when the final confrontation happens, she realizes that Mark is her soul mate and somehow convinces him to let the princess go, and persuades him to come with her?
If not I completely understand ☺️
Oooo soulmate stuff!! I haven’t done that in forever. I had to look back on my blog for inspiration and I’m going with this prompt:
“Soulmates that feel each other’s pain (as in any physical pain inflicted on one is felt by the other)”
......................
Why was the Necromancer so evil? Where did all that hatred come from?
Was he born with it or...could he have been good once?
Those were questions that plagued your curious mind during the journey to the infamous Necromancer’s lair. You, Brian, and Danny were dragged from your world and sent on this perilous quest to defeat him and save the Princess.
Yep, some generic fairytale you three were thrown in. And none of you have the slightest clue what to expect once you finally met this evil-doer.
All you knew about him was from the King’s mouth--how he was vile, crude, destructive and...basically every other bad word in the dictionary. His abilities apparently involved fire, lightning, undead armies, and whatever powers the mystic crystal that imprisoned the Princess had.
In short, you were fucked.
Yet..you couldn’t help but wonder if this Necromancer was just an asshole for no reason or if he had some tragic backstory attached to him (as many villains did). You asked Danny and Brian, and both of them didn’t really care about his motivations.
“We got a hot princess to save, [y/n]!” Danny would tell you. “What else matters?”
“Yeah, you’re right.” You sigh, adjusting the shield on your back.
Were you suppose to throw this like Captain America? Or just to defend the pair from attacks?
Perhaps both. You were a bit too eager to use it.
......
At last you reached the Necromancer’s hideout after getting past all of his defenses. Your “trusty noble” steeds immediately abandoned you the moment you dismounted, but did you blame them? No.
You would’ve been running scared shitless, too, if you didn’t make a promise to the King.
So you pressed onwards and entered the crystal-filled cavern, noticing skulls and bats with glowing yellow eyes all around. As Brian and Danny strutted in with all the confidence in the world, you remained cautious, urging them to stay behind your shield.
“Let’s not get too cocky, alright? We have no idea what we’re up against.”
“Pssh, this’ll be a piece of cake.” Danny dismissed. “Unless the bells of doom toll, we’re safe! He’ll never see us comi-”
As if right on cue, you heard the bells toll as everything around you turned red. And you looked to him in annoyance.
“You were saying-?”
Suddenly a swarm of bats started attacking you, and you shielded him, Brian, and yourself as you all ran further into the cave-
Straight into the throne room of the Necromancer himself.
“So..you’ve come from another world to kill me.” He grinned, pridefully admiring the crystal in his hands before setting it down. Within it, the Princess’ image was just barely visible.
“That’s right!” Danny boasted. “The King sent us to stop you for good!”
“No, he sent you idiots to DIE!!" The Necromancer rose up, wielding his staff, though he noticed you and paused for a moment. “Another fair maiden? Huh..are you sure you wish to fight me? I’d hate to ruin such a pretty face.”
“Not if I ruin yours first.”
He huffed. “We’ll see about that!!” From his hand he fired a lightning bolt, but you deflected it with your shield, blasting a nearby rock to bits.
‘Wow this is a pretty strong shield..’ Before you could decide your next move, you heard Danny gasp.
“Wait! I know how to stop him!”
“Huh?” You and Brian glanced at him, seeing him holding a hand to his head, looking to you with wide eyes and a big smile.
“The Princess spoke to me! We must use the power of love!” Suddenly a teddy bear appeared in his hands.
“Wait where did you...huh??” Glancing at the ninja archer, you saw that he somehow manifested Valentine’s Day balloons and a cake.
The Necromancer looked on, being just as confused as you.
“Stand back, guys! I’m gonna hug him-!!”
Immediately the hero in blue spandex was zapped, shattering both legs and being thrown across the room. As Brian rushed to his aid, you realized too late that the Necromancer was charging at you next, swinging his staff to sweep your leg and send you to the ground-
“OW!!”
A man’s scream was heard, but not from Danny or Brian.
But from the villain himself.
You saw him collapse to one knee, groaning as he felt a sharp pain in the side of his head. He held it with gritted teeth, before looking up to see you holding that exact same spot where you hit your head. His golden eyes blinked in bewilderment.
“Wh..What is this?!! What sort of pain magic are you using on me?!” He snapped.
“I didn’t do anything! All I have is this shield.” You huffed, rubbing your head as you stood back up. “You hit like a girl, by the way.”
“..oh how DARE YOU?!!” He sprung up as well and sent out a fireball. Although you dodged it, some of the flames managed to singe your elbow. You hissed in pain as it left a burn mark on your flesh.
The Necromancer yelped again and brushed invisible flames away from his own elbow, noticing you were burned in the same spot, too. “H-How is this possible?!! How are you deflecting your pain back to me?!!”
“I don’t know! Is it technically deflecting if I’m feeling it, too?”
He was about to try a new attack, though he stopped and realized something. “Wait, if I’m feeling whatever you’re feeling, then....” But he shook his head. “No, that’s impossible.”
“What’s impossible?”
“I’ve heard of something like this. It’s...the magic of soulmates. It takes many forms, including one where they feel each other’s pain...” He looked at his taloned claws, trembling.
‘Soulmates..that’s right.’ You had forgotten. How could you?
Back in your world, soulmates existed and they found each other in countless ways--whether it involves strings or tattoos or countdowns. You’ve had yet to encounter yours, assuming you had the type where something special only happens once you meet them.
Could this evil man from a medieval universe possibly be your soulmate?
While the Necromancer continued monologuing, you decided to test something out. So you approached him, putting your shield on your back before flicking him on the forehead. “Ow!”
“Ouch..” You winced, once again feeling that same pain, but sure enough that confirmed it. He was the one. “Well, uh...this is awkward...” You trailed off, tensing as he stared at you, though not with hatred but with sadness.
“I can’t believe it. All this time, I thought everyone in this stupid kingdom had a soulmate except for me. I thought...I was destined to be alone, forgotten...unloved.” He turned his gaze to the crystal so you didn’t see the tears welling in his eyes. “I-I consulted the King’s wizards out of desperation, and even they could not tell me..”
“So you mean to tell me that you’re only evil because you weren’t sure if you had a soulmate?”
His silence told you that was true. ‘This couldn’t get anymore cliche..but damn, can’t believe my own soulmate doesn’t exist in my world.’
Although not what you expected, you couldn’t be happier to finally find him...even though he tried killing you and your friends only moments ago.
Speaking of whom, you noticed Brian pick up Danny--who was somehow still alive--like a weapon, but you put a hand up to stop him from coming over, mouthing a “wait”. His eyebrows only furrowed in slight confusion, though he didn’t move.
“I only stole the Princess to make her mine..” Hearing the Necromancer speak up, you glanced back at him, seeing him now holding the crystal. “Because I thought fate denied me a soulmate, but..it was you all along. A lovely lady from another world, brought to mine to kill me.”
“Well, it’s not what I expected either.” You awkwardly chuckled. “But look, I don’t wanna kill you. I don’t think either of us wanna. We can end this peacefully.”
“How?”
“Set her free and come home with us.” Putting a hand out, you offered him a sincere smile. “You don’t have to stay here and be miserable and edgy and all that. You can be happier in my world, with your soulmate.”
Still, he was hesitant to accept your offer, frowning deeply. “It sounds too good to be true, though..”
Then he looked up at you suddenly. “Strike me again. Just so I know it’s not a trick.”
‘Damn, is this guy a masochist or something?’ Danny laid there in Brian’s arms, bewildered as they both watched you kick the villain in the shins, both of you in pain after the fact.
While he was recovering, you grabbed the crystal and shattered it into pieces, freeing the Princess at last. Having watched the entire ordeal, she was astonished that her heartless abductor actually had a heart, after all, yet she smiled and thanked you, Danny, and Brian for rescuing her.
You managed to fully convince the Necromancer--learning his name was Mark--to come back with you to the kingdom. He was understandably afraid to, but went along with you anyway, using his powers for good as he summoned skeletal steeds for the five of you to ride back on.
Upon returning to the King, Danny was healed and everybody rejoiced....until Mark was revealed to be right behind you, in which they panicked. The guards moved to arrest him, but you and the Princess insisted that he was good now that he had found his soulmate.
Obviously nobody believed it, and he was gonna say some snarky shit but you elbowed him in the gut to demonstrate the bond, causing both of you to wince at the same exact time.
Realizing it was true, the King apologized--aware that he played a role in Mark’s fall from grace--but was hesitant to let him go with you.
“Are you sure you wish to take him? You’ve seen what he’s capable of.”
“I am aware of the risks. But I can assure you of this, Your Majesty..he won’t bring harm to these lands ever again. Or any lands in any reality.”
"...very well, then I give you permission to take him with you.”
Upon hearing this, Mark openly wept right there in the throne room, falling to his knees as you knelt next to him to comfort him. You were quite tearful yourself as you finally found your soulmate after years of never knowing if you had one at all.
It was a shock to everyone, considering nobody’s ever seen the evil and hotheaded Necromancer cry before, though it was still a touching sight. It even made Danny cry a little.
Soon the magic portal opened, and the four of you soon departed, eager to go home. Though not before Brian killed one of the wizards to “maintain his rep”.
Once you arrived back in your world, only then did Mark let go of your hand, looking all around at the apartment you shared with the two men--plus a third roommate who was just chilling on the couch.
You chuckled at his confusion. “It’s not a castle, but it’s home. Welcome to New Jersey, Mark.”
“New Jersey..” He looked all around, then back to you with a light smile. Not an evil smirk. “I could get used to this. Thank you..and I’m sorry for everything.”
“No worries. We’re together now even though we had to cross 26 dimensions to find you.” You chuckled as you patted his cheek, kissing him soon after.
The blush on his face grew and he attempted to hide it with his cloak. “D-Don’t bewitch me with your charms, [y/n].”
