🍓 Hello author, can I request a fluff ROR Anubis x Husband!Reader where the reader is the god of monsters and part of the Norse pantheon ? Reader is known for being monstrous, ugly, emotionless, and a man-eater, but in reality, he is beautiful, vegetarian, romantic, and always wears long or puffy dresses. However, even though he is kind, he is still very powerful. I hope I haven't asked for too much, and I apologize if I did 🍓
Anubis x God of Monsters! Reader: Facade
Anubis loves his husband, very much, and he made that the problem of the entire Egyptian pantheon.
It was not uncommon for him to sometimes go full speed on all fours to the altar of one of his fellow gods, just to talk about something nice his partner, Reader, did when no one else was looking, or to blabber on about how much he loved them and how lucky he was.
The problem? No one believed him.
After all, Anubis had somehow managed to marry Reader, a god from the Norse pantheon that none of the Egyptian pantheon had ever seen (if it weren't for confirmation from the gods of the Norse pantheon, everyone would have thought Anubis had made him up), but they had heard many… interesting things about him.
There were many human legends about him, the man-eater, a cruel and hideous creature who enjoyed the suffering of humans and gods alike, with a horrible temper, who was incapable of feeling any kind of guilt or remorse. A complete monster turned god.
Thanks to this, there were many doubts about how the hell someone like Anubis, who despite all his faults, was very lively and energetic, ended up with someone supposedly so cruel and dismissive, someone who probably didn't care about him the same way he cared about reader.
There were some gods who cared about him, and tried to talk about it for his sake! They just wanted to make sure he didn't end up with a soul-sucking god or something like that. However, they were surprised to see how calm Anubis was about the whole thing, downplaying it, even laughing at the oh very serious rumors about his husband.
The reason? Simple, he knew that all of that was bullshit.
Don't get me wrong, Anubis can sense death a mile away, he would know what he was talking about, and while that scent was irresistible, reader definitely didn't have that smell, he had something much, much better.
Actually, none of those people (much less those who had made those legends, or the rumors) had ever met the reader he had met. Not only one of the most beautiful men he had ever seen, but also someone extremely kind and gentle! Man-eater? Monster? Bullshit! He knew his mate.
Sure, reader had an important position in the Norse pantheon, being the god and father of most of the monsters that formed their mythology, but that didn't make him any less loving towards the life forms that formed the pantheon. It was almost strange, seeing how he treated monsters like ice giants or sea creatures as if they were children, however, Anubis found this excessively tender, as a sign of his mate's true feelings.
Reader was someone whose philosophy was based on not inflicting harm on other living beings, even those that were considered dispensable or necessary for survival. Anubis still remembered how strange he felt at first when he found out that Reader, a god of monsters, was a vegetarian and preferred not to receive sacrifices in his offerings (like most gods).
Many made this seem like something strange and big when in reality, he had a simple answer to why he was like that, he wouldn't let himself be defined as a monster just by what they say about him, he knows the kind of person he is, and it's just his problem. But he wouldn't let his position as a god of monster define him as one. That was what attracted Anubis to Reader, that he rejected death, but didn't see it as something bad, it was interesting. Well, that and other things.
Despite being a seemingly stoic god, Reader actually had a great taste for traditional romance from various cultures, whether it was giving gifts that he knew Anubis would enjoy, things he learned from his worshipers, even arranging dates so that both could be alone, without any god interrupting them.
Reader enjoyed making things a little special, but nothing could captivate the heart of the Egyptian god of death when Reader showed his most careless and normal side to him. Things like Reader waking up in his pajamas and messy hair, instead of his immaculate appearance and extravagant clothes, or allowing himself to do things like laugh out loud, play children's games, talk like an idiot to his smallest and most adorable monsters, were things that sealed the deal for Anubis.
THIS was the man, the god, that he wanted to stay with for the rest of his life, for all eternity. No matter what his companions, or the other gods, said, what does it matter?
As long as he and Reader can enjoy each other's company, everything is fine.
