Your AUs have me frothing, especially the mashed one by Anon about the obsessive x vampire AU.
May I offer a sprinkling of angst where in this life, Chad wants it to be the last. That when this incarnation of Robert ends, he will follow and hopes the devil hates him enough to throw him back to humanity on the next life.
So when this Robert has the attitude of the first that he married long ago, it throws him off. But the idea has already rooted itself deep in Chad that not even obsession can pull it out (maybe Robert's obsession can, if it digs deep enough).
So he's a bit more reckless, more sacrificial, has faced death multiple times, and dared it to make him cross the line (and it is always Robert who pulls him back).
And this time, instead of a church keeping him out, Robert is starting to consider chaining Chad to his apartment to keep him from going away.
I think IF Robert were to chain Flambae up in his apartment, neither one would be too happy. But Robert will do everything in his power to keep Flamabe around. To him, time moves slowly. He wants to make it last. Even when he learns of his predecessors' fates, their tragedy and short lives, due to war, murder, and disease, he will spit at the face of destiny and pave his own way, the same way he always has. And will drag Chad with him, even if he has to do so while the other is kicking and screaming.
Robert's faith has always been in their union first and god second. No amount of lives lived will change that.

Obsessed AU chapter 2! Éponine pov! Yay!
Summary:
It wouldn’t have been a problem, if Éponine had been smart, or switched on, or not high, or not the world's most useless lesbian, and had realised who Cosette was first.
As it so happens, she realised she was attracted to Cosette first. It wasn’t “oh hey here’s a great idea, I’ll go get myself a crush on my ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend, oh also she’s Cosette by the way, yeah that Cosette, the one from when we were kids”. Because, fuck, who thinks that?
It was “holy shit she’s so hot. Fuck. She’s gorgeous. Marius’ new girlfriend is gorgeous she’s so pretty oh my god she’s looking at me okay say something.” And then it was “Cosette? Did she just say… oh. Oh it is. Of course it is. Cosette.”
She was fucked, either way.
Except, she wasn’t fucked, because Cosette was a saint. And she’d forgiven her. She’d held her, held her face, her hand, thrown her arms around Éponine’s neck, reached out across the table, over a letter she wrote some fifteen or so years ago and never sent.
Hey! It's nice to see this blog active again. Just wondering if you have any AU prompts for a kidnapping story?
Aww, thanks! We’re happy to be back in action.
And damn, quite a dark request, but let's see what we can do!
Most kidnappings have a pretty sinister agenda, and kidnapper Character A wasn’t exactly straying from that stereotype. After falling in love with Character B from afar, they decide to kidnap them and show Character B just how much they could love them if given the chance. What Character A didn’t expect, however, was Character B being a bit too interested in the idea of being adored. If anything, Character A was the one starting to get a bit uncomfortable.
“Our friend Character A clearly has a problem, so I don’t think we’re outside our rights to kidnap them, hold an intervention, and force them to go cold turkey under the pretense that they’re going to their great aunt’s funeral...right? This isn’t weird, is it? Yeah, yeah you’re right. This is normal.” AU
It isn’t often that detectives are tracked by their investigatees, but FBI agent Character A is permitted to have a first hand look at serial killer Character B’s full operation after Character B takes a special interest in Character A’s methodologies. After all, if Character A slept 3 feet away from the extensive pictures of Character B’s deeds, this must be like a dream come true.
When Character A starts stealing from their local bookstores to complete the “Book Thief” challenge, they never expected that it would result in a kidnapping. Character A is immediately tackled to the ground upon entering a particularly small book store by Characters B, C, and D, who take ample time to poorly tie them to a chair and start interrogating them about the whereabouts of a specific book that’s gone missing. The thing is, Character A had never been to this store before, and even if they had, the signed copy of 50 Shades of Grey wouldn’t exactly be high on their hitlist.
Being a royal member of any nation with a certain amount of unrest can be dangerous, but that’s made even more clear when young royal member Character A is kidnapped by the impoverished members of their class system and held for ransom. What they don’t know, however, is that Character A was disowned by that same royal family less than a week ago.
“We always said that we wouldn’t get sucked into tech and that it wouldn’t control our lives, but that’s not exactly true. When the uberpopular immersive virtual reality MMORPG went live, everyone loved it, but some people wore the headset and never woke up from their digital world. Not everyone was trapped, just a few specific people. Because there wasn’t a way to figure out who trapped these individuals and why, the users came to be known as the SS, or the “seized spirits.” My girlfriend thought it wasn’t real, but then...she didn’t wake up.” AU
Characters A, B, C, & D partake in their weekly game of immersive DnD, but then their Dungeon Master throws them a bit of a curveball. A small side quest requires the group of renegades to kidnap an NPC. It wasn’t hard to snag the person from the local blacksmith, but after the quest was completed, the NPC just wouldn’t leave. For anything. They just. Stayed there. To be annoying.
As a form of hazing, all new villains have to perform a series of tasks to join the villain union. Baby villain Character A was ready for anything and gladly kidnaps a reporter when asked. Well...this particular damsel in distress wasn’t exactly the most compliant victim available, and the rest of the union was wildly aware of that fact. Character A has no idea what they’re up against until it’s too late (yes, they cried).
Hired kidnapping is a fairly easy gig if you know what you’re doing, which is why Character A doesn’t see a problem with kidnapping someone from a plane after a 2 hour ride. Sure, a small challenge, but nothing they couldn’t handle. As soon as the plane touched the ground, they made their move and poured their rehearsed speech right into their victim’s ear: “I have a knife. I will kill you if you try to scream or run. We’re going to leave this plane together, get your luggage--” etc. It was pretty standard fair, but as soon as they were about to finish their monologue, a voice comes over the intercom: “Hey folks, this is your captain speaking; we’ve encountered a bit of a problem on the runway. We won’t be able to de-plane for at least an hour, so relax and get comfortable. It’s gonna be a while.”
Magical creature trafficking was meant to be a thing of the past, but Characters A, B, and C find out the hard way that other nations aren’t as stringent about their policies. After being kidnapped, brought across the border, and escaping their captors, the group of creatures must find a way back home in a nation that isn’t kind to the otherwise-gifted.
“Ever heard of a surprise party? Where you set up a party in the dark and the person comes home to be stunned to happiness? Well, we figured that doing the same thing but kidnapping the person and bringing them to the big surprise would be far more effective. Only, one of our friends didn’t understand that we meant ‘keep Character A’ in the dark figuratively, like, using a blindfold. They didn’t even hint that Character A may need to pack for the weekend, so Character A thought the kidnapping was real -- we have the black eyes to prove it...asshole got some mean swipes in.” AU
To pay off a debt, Character A promises their loan sharks (led by Character C) that they’d kidnap Character B and deliver them as soon as they’re able. Character A completes the job fairly sloppily and just decides to bring Character B home with them until they can drop them off the next morning. It was getting uh...kinda awkward during the car ride there, though, so the two made small talk and really hit it off. One night turned to two, then three, then they fell into a type of domestic bliss they never expected. In fact, they completely forgot about how they met until Character C’s goons break into their apartment at 2AM about a year later and try to kidnap Character B back. Nuh uh, not happening. Their pancakes are WAY too good to just let them walk out the door.
And last but certainly not least, there’s always the classic “oops, I seem to have kidnapped the wrong person...now what?”
*note never read the fanfiction just seem some stuff of it and got inspired*

AU of Butterfly Reign were br! Ranboo is obsessed with br! Tommy/Theseus but doesn't care about the rest.
Like he sees Theseus as a smart, and kind, but serious, and fierce ruler. He also knows he is very stressed and wants to be the friend- no brother he needs.
Br! Ranboo wants to be Theseus' brother, best friend, and right hand man. But the others keep getting in his way and making things worst for him... aspecially a certain green blod prince and a ex run away prince...
It’s not a task, not just a job. It’s even more than his duty as a hero! Sometimes it’s overwhelming, but making sure that nothing comes to harm the town feels like the most important thing in the world. Sure, sometimes he would like to play games with his friends, and sure, he’s tired all the time, and maybe his grades are absolutely abysmal, but really at the end of the day, these are mere annoyances.
To see them safe and sound? That satisfaction is worth more than any ‘A’ in the world. Rain or shine. Day or night. He’s ready to fight for their lives. His friends worry, like they always do. And then he’ll get stronger to make sure they don’t have to. And then he’ll be frustrated when there’s yet another really powerful ghost that just happens to know how to fight him. And then his friends try to counsel him again, that he should be more careful.
It’s a cycle, a really really frustrating one. It always seems like there’s another ghost trying to test his resolve. You’d think that after all this time, they’d get the picture, but no. Nuisances always found their way to crawl back and bug him again.
Which, he’d do. Again. And again. It doesn’t matter if he’s broken until there’s nothing left but a bloody mess, he’ll find a way to rise up and crush anyone who dares to stand between him and his family. At the end of the day, each fight is for them, to make sure they can live happily. Danny doesn’t have anything to give back other than this. As a human he’s useless. He’s just a stargazing loser with nothing better than to do than waste his life taking each day for granted.
He’s only worth as much as each smile gained from the passing days.
So he’s a hero, and that’s what he’ll always be. He’ll protect Amity Park doing what he knows best, crushing ghosts with a witty remark and an ectoblast to the face.
Because this is his town.
His family’s town.
This town is theirs. It’s why patrolling is so important. If a random ghost appeared out of the middle of nowhere and decided that hey, let’s crush this human, and that human just so happened to be one of Danny’s, and Danny was doing homework instead of fighting it, he’d never forgive himself. Instead of letting that heartache happen, it’s best to patrol. Keep the grounds from being too infested.
You know, safe.
Jazz doesn’t explore too much. She has a path she takes and she takes it often. To the school, to the library, and back home. The order of where she goes and how she gets there changes every once in awhile, but keeping three places from being ghost infested isn’t so difficult. Sometimes she goes to the grocery store or the mall, but that’s not generally an issue. It’s easy to find out when she’s going.
Jazz doesn’t have any friends outside of classes. It makes it easier.
Mom and Dad are a different story. They don’t socialize but they tend to go everywhere. Rolling up and down every narrows alleyway in their in the Fenton RV, Danny can’t keep track of where they’ll be let alone how to keep ghosts from launching a sneak attack. The best he can do is attack any vile thing that attempts to get near his parents and let that lesson sink in so far into their ectoplasmic skulls that they’ll know not to come near Amity Park ever again if they know what’s good for them.
Still, Danny tries not to worry too much. Things tend to keep away from his parents. Humans and ghosts alike disperse on sight. More than once he’s seen a little ghost dart into an alleyway when they run down the street. Plus, it’s nice that they have a reputation for potential dissection.
They’ve sworn off experimentation since Danny’s revealed that he’s Phantom, but it’s not like he’s going to tell the ghosts that. There are some secrets best kept close.
And then there’s Sam and Tucker. His lovely best friends who only want to protect him and keep him safe. He loves them with all his heart but he swears they try to give him heart attacks. Each fight, each scrape and bruise; they pile up like a quilt of pain and disappointment. They say they’re fine, but it can’t be true. If they’re fine, then Danny wouldn’t need to protect them; they wouldn’t get hurt in the first place. He tries to train them to be faster, stronger, and just plain aim better, but that damn cycle keeps coming back and bringing in more and more enemies that just want to make him and everything he loves suffer from their wrath.
His friends’ schedules depend on his. While he can keep and eye on his family at home, the same can’t be said of Tucker and Sam. Try as he might, trying to keep them consistent just leads them running into battles at an attempt of helping.
He makes due, but he wishes he doesn’t have to.
Jazz, Dad, Mom, Tucker, and Sam. They’re the most important things in his life, his reason why he keeps going. It’s scary how much this purpose torments him, but the pure joy created from their happiness is too much of a temptation to lose. Before the accident, everything felt like a mystery, like the world pulling him in every direction, turning him around and pushing him back until all he could do is look up and see the stars for a hope that something out there could give him purpose.
But these powers. They gave him, give him a reason to push forward, and he can’t afford to lose that. Not ever.
The idea of losing any of them strikes a deep fear in his heart. Trying to imagine it feels like the world stops turning and a deep rage suddenly silents any extraneous thoughts until all that’s left is a hollow void filled with only the word, “mine”.
Because they are his. To protect. To care for.
He won’t let anyone touch them.
If this meant chasing off any nobody who tried to befriend Jazz for some odd reason then he’d keep her oblivious in perfect isolation as long as he could have it and listen through every psychology lecture with an excited nod.
If this meant sabotaging inventions to keep his parents stuck in the lab days at a time with only his and Jazz’s company, then he’d break a thousand Fenton gadgets a thousand times over and bring them dinner downstairs without a crack in his smile.
If this meant terrifying bullies or chasing girls away to keep Tucker from getting hurt by their fists or rejections then he’d be his friends shield and take all of Dash’s punches just for the chance to see those deep bruises gone forever.
If this meant dating Sam and keeping her to himself, so no filthy bug could come in and put their hands on her, then he’d hold her close, kiss her sweetly, and be everything she’d ever need even if he himself would be just content to watch the way her split ends shimmer in her hazy bedroom lights.
There’s some things Danny can’t control, people who do things illogically and make a mess of everything. No matter how many times he warns some people they always tend to crawl back and try to stick their noses where they don’t belong. It’s maddening how much he can’t seem to make his world perfect for them to live in. Or at least, as perfect as he can make it for them. Even as he tries to take every burden, there always seems to be something he misses, something he can’t keep away and it just leads to more pain and suffering.
But he’s trying. He’ll always try. Danny will keep any of his suffering silent just to keep them happy and away from all the troubles in the world. Despite every hardship thrown at them, he’ll make sure he’s there to block the worst of it. Because no matter what, the world leads to one simple truth.
My suuuuuper late contribution to last years @eposetteweek
Summery:
Cosette had never really been the jealous type. That changed when she met Marius.
Well.
It changed when she met Marius’ ex.
So started a new obsession.
Marius kissed her in greeting and when she closed her eyes she saw Éponine’s lips forming a small “o” shape. Soft, plump, pink. She saw them on Marius’, she felt crazy.
His hands found her hips, and slid up to her waist when he stole another kiss, and Cosette saw them sliding across Éponine’s skin instead. He pulled back with a small sigh and she wondered if that sound was just for her, or if Éponine heard it too.
She wondered if Éponine had ever been jealous like this.
Marius made a comment about how he always slept on the right side of the bed, and Cosette thought I’m sleeping on her side.
Cosette crawled into Marius bed and couldn't stop herself from thinking Marius kissed her here. Marius touched her here. Marius held her here.
She lay here, where I am now, naked in this bed. Her bare skin in his sheets, smelling like him, touched by him. He didn't even try to touch me tonight.
what if instead of working on all my wips i started a quick little fic eposette fic inspired by obsessed by olivia rodrigo. cosette pov she's with marius but can't help it, she's obsessed with his ex 👀
