And that’s all folks! 

Headcanon: Fatal flaws

Nëela: "She deflects a lot because she's unable to face her own feelings. When you want to dig deeper, she would always try to turn the focus back on you. She rarely faces her pain and would bury it in Hell if she could. She's a touch-deprived witch who would do anything to find a new home and people who could tolerate her if they can't love her and when she's attached? She's unable to sever the connection, no matter how bad they treat her."

Oya: "She is reckless, especially when she's angry, worried, or scared. She is ready to sell her soul to the devil if that means she can save Dean and/ or the world.  She has an intense sense of guilt that gives her tunnel vision and makes her take unnecessary risks at times.  She's impulsive at times and this has caused her a lot of trouble in the past due to her ability to read to filth angels, monsters, and humans alike."

Sara: "She is very co-dependent and an intense lover. Once she loves someone she will lower all of her defenses and accept anything coming her way, including abuse, if that means she can keep the person in her life. She doesn't care about Homelander's crimes as long as he still loves her. She is a people pleaser and quite easy to manipulate once you know which string to pull. She lives for the praise and love from her fans but is unable to give herself the love she so desperately needs."

Elpis: "She tends to lash out when she's uncertain. She doesn't do well with boredom and hates being on her own. Her words cut deep and she doesn't control her tongue when she's angry. Elpis has a temper, one that could hurt those around her, be it the complete destruction of a pantheon or hurting Pride with accusations. She is extremely vengeful and has already been blinded by her anger."

Mary: "She holds back a lot of her emotions. She is so convinced to be forsaken by God and years of mental abuse by the nuns who raised her, that she keeps her feelings to herself. It is sometimes very hard to understand her emotions if she doesn't voice them. Mary is also prone to overthink and would not communicate her thoughts unless she's pressed. This almost caused a rift between Tommy and her."

Bäahal: "She is extremely stubborn. Once she decides something, no one can make her choose otherwise. Her stubbornness caused her a lot of trouble, notably her love for Jaime. She is also very naive and very sensitive and the fact she cries so easily could also make her feel vulnerable to anyone who can use it against her."

Trivia about our characters: Dean

  // It's for safekeeping. We never know what could disappear.  -it comes right from N's mouth-

Dean - God, what more could he want than what they already do together? Hunting. Spending time at the bunker. Oya watching him cook. I suppose now that they are married, maybe he would like to take a little trip. A non-hunting trip. A little honeymoon, so to speak. Something non-traditional, totally cheesy, very them. He would like that.

And Dean, for the record. If Oya wants to try that candle wax thing on him, you know her good boy is game.

Trivia about our characters: Tommy Shelby

 // It's for safekeeping. We never know what could disappear.  -it comes right from N's mouth-

Tom - Very much likes the idea of riding with Mary, now that he knows she has taken the liberty of learning how. You know he has such a soft spot for horses. He likes to ride. He would like to be able to do that with her, and see just how much she really knows.

Tom - Tom. Tom. Tom. Now, he can hear something you said, the word "Queenpin" bouncing around inside his head. He wants to see it. Bad Mary really letting loose. Fucking him like he's some low-level gangster and she's, well, like she'd the fucking queen. He wants to see her really get into it and just... go wild. All in.

Trivia about our characters: Homelander

// It's for safekeeping. We never know what could disappear.  -it comes right from N's mouth-

Homie - Wants to introduce Sara to Ryan. He wants his girl to meet his son. He is of course, confident that they will love each other and get along so well. (it is what he wants to happen). He wants the three of them to spend time together.

Homelander - Our narcissistic little showman. Now, she already indulges his biggest kink. We know that.

But I can see him pushing the boundaries in more... public settings. Taking her to her balcony, up to a rooftop, bending her over the ledge and... letting the whole damn city hear how good he can make his girl feel.  It's a power thing, like a 'fuck you' to the whole world. She's mine, fuck you.

Trivia about our characters: Klaus

 // It's for safekeeping. We never know what could disappear.  -it comes right from N's mouth-

Klaus - Wants to take Asma on that date. He wants to take her to dinner, and get to know her properly, like he promised he would. He relishes the opportunity to dress up, take her out, turn the charm up to 11, and see where the night goes.

Klaus.... Klaus can't help but wonder now, what other little magical tricks that witch of his might have up her sleeve. Since she used her magic on him in bed, it was unexpected but... he liked it. He might like for it to happen again, you know. And he's too... closed off and stubborn to admit to this too quickly, but... he thinks about it. Wonders what else she might be able to do.

He does. Willingly being powerless like that... isn't easy for him. But... she made it feel good.

Triva about our characters: jaime

 // It's for safekeeping. We never know what could disappear.  -it comes right from N's mouth-

Jaime - Jaime thinks about finally being able to be a proper husband for the woman that he loves. He wants to sit by her side at dinners, hold her hand, walk arm in arm in the garden, kiss her cheek. He wants to be /with/ Baahal. Properly with her. He thinks about all the normal, mundane things a properly betrothed couple could do together, and he wants that with her. Boring for some, maybe. But something he never imagined he would have. He thinks it sounds perfect.

Jaime - Our knight has this fantasy of Baahal seducing him. 

You know how with Cersei, he always had to go to her. That was her game. She was always cold, controlling, and Jaime had to go to her, initiate things. 

But things are different now. And he can't help but think how hot it would be to have someone... make it known that they want him. (of course, he would many times do the same, it's never going to be all one sided). but sometimes... seven hells he'd love to see her come to him, want him, beg him... to feel wanted in that way, desired like that.

Trivia about our characters: Pride

 // It's for safekeeping. We never know what could disappear.  -it comes right from N's mouth-

What activity do they want to do with their girl? 

Pride - If it wasn't obvious by his little gift to her, he wants to be able to go anywhere and everywhere with her. He wants her by his side while they overthrow her family, his siblings. He isn't really one to imagine or think about things they might do together. If it occurs to him, he will just do it. And now that Elpis won't be limited to a certain space to stay hidden and safe, he wants to test her powers with her. To test their powers together and see what comes of it.

Now, a fantasy they have 

Pride - Staying on the thought train of Elpis being free and testing her powers. In his mind's eye, Pride sees a night that makes Vancouver look tame. A night of blood and sin and sex with Elpis as the architect. He wants to watch her make it happen. He will pitch in of course.  And mmm... show her how much he enjoys seeing it happen.

He does. He wants to see her be all powerful... but still give in to him, of course

Little trivia on our characters

 // It's for safekeeping. we never know what could disappear. 

xx

Touch is definitely a big part of their love language.

Some of my boys have a hard time with the speaking. Sure, they would say 'I love you'. I don't mean they would never say it. 

But Dean, Klaus, Tom? Their  love language is the things they do for the ones they care about.

That is what will always speak louder. Where they will be far more consistent.

What can I say? Men of few words, they... well, they and I understand each other.

But they all love their girls.

Even if some of them have trouble with the words sometimes. They love their girls to the ends of the earth.

(Me)

They can be needy though

(Him)

Yes they can. But.. we love that about them.

My boys always know that they are loved.

They couldn't ever forget it.

N Splove: on Bäahal (Modern)

 //// I am doing this for safekeeping. We never know when things could disappear. I want to be able to come back to his words. 

(Modern) Baahal: 

That firecracker! Modern Jaime and Baahal are pure, liquid fire! I had to say a little something about this, because I just had to say how much fun it is getting to explore these two characters and imagine them without so much of the trauma that comes from the regular verse. (Don’t get me wrong though! I love the angst that comes along with our regular verse babies.) 

But getting to see them let loose, oh I love that too. Jaime is impulsive in any verse, and in the modern setting he really does get to just go for Baahal, without having to worry about being put to death for it. And Baahal can do the same. 

She is SUCH a TEASE though! Always sending him pictures, showing Jaime what he is missing out on, making him want to be with her instead of wherever he is. Jaime loves it. He loves how uninhibited she is. He loves the way that she teases him, the way that she wants him. 

Playing these two in modern verse is just so free, and so fun. I love that we decided to do it.

You asked me once, if I could only keep one character, who would I keep. And I think I surprised both of us when I settled on Jaime. But I think together, between modern and regular verse, Jaime and Baahal just have so much of what I love about all our characters and our stories. The free sexiness of the modern verse. The angst and hardships and complexity of the regular verse. And underneath it all, genuine connection and understanding.

N splove on Bäahal (regular)

 //// I am doing this for safekeeping. We never know when things could disappear. I want to be able to come back to his words. 

(Regular) Baahal: 

Her loyalty and her dedication to her family were the first things that Jaime noted about her, and Jaime admires these things about her so, so much. Loyal to a fault, brave, stubborn Baahal. When they first met at Winterfell, when they had their conversation and Jaime snapped her out of her whole ‘sacrificial lamb’ mentality, he never would have imagined that they would go from where they were then, to where they are now.

She is so brutally honest, so good, so dedicated to doing what she believes to be the right thing. She is the opposite of what Jaime was for so long, and exactly the kind of person that he hopes to one day deserve. 

How and why she fell for him, Jaime will never really completely understand. She obviously has a foolish streak. But also… also… you and I know that she see’s something in Jaime that even Jaime himself thought that he had let die. She is rare, in that she doesn’t despise him for being the “Kingslayer”. He killed one man to save an entire city full of people, and Baahal (even though that man was her father) understands better than anyone else ever has that what he did, he did out of basic human decency.

Jaime has made mistake after mistake, he fell for the wrong woman, did unspeakable things to protect her and their children. He’s easily one of the most hated men in the entire Seven Kingdoms. And she’s a Targaryen, he’s a Lannister. Hating him would have been the easy choice. But Baahal didn’t make the easy choice. She recognized that Jaime spoke to her the way that he did, because he didn’t want to see her die. He showed up at Winterfell because he wanted to do the right thing. Most people would have doubted his motivations, but Baahal was sure of it from the beginning, and she hasn’t wavered in that faith since. 

And when the war was over, she turned around and saved Jaime in return. She went looking for him, she turned up at Highgarden looking to snap him out of his grief and his guilt. Who else in all the world would have bothered to go looking for him? I tell you who. No one.

The trust that she has for Jaime is everything. No one trusts him. The care that she has for him? No one else cares about him. And her belief that past everything he has already done, he is still a good man, deserving of a second chance? He hopes that she is right. She makes him believe that it might still be possible for him. If it is, it will be with her. 

Baahal is exactly the person that Jaime needs. He’s not a rational person. Even now. Jaime is a person ruled by emotions, by his heart. He would do anything, anything at all for the person that he loves. Baahal is good, and honest. She knows this about him but would never use him like Cersei did. She would never push him to do bad, knowing full well that he would do those things for her if she asked. Jaime always runs the risk of falling into old patterns under the right circumstances. Baahal is the person who won’t let that happen.

I know you took a bit of a chance on Jaime when you decided to follow me into this verse. You weren’t a big fan of him then, but you went with it. And I am so glad that you did, and that you have come to see Jaime the way that I see him. He’s not a one-dimensional character. He’s not just a villain. I always felt that way, and you gave me the chance to really get into his head and portray the version of him that I think deserves to be seen. 

 Looking at what she has grown into, it is so difficult to believe now that Baahal started off as a one-off character for you. She has become a fully formed character with all kinds of complexities and nuances of her own. She suffered through so many hardships of her own early in life, growing up a slave, being used, seeing the things that she saw. Only to come out the other side of it as caring and compassionate and strong as she is. Baahal is incredible.

N Splove on Mary

 //// I am doing this for safekeeping. We never know when things could disappear. I want to be able to come back to his words. 

(PB) Mary: 

Our newest endeavour together, but already so, so, so good. Mary and Tommy just… they clicked right away. I know I told you, I really wasn’t sure about writing Tommy. So far, he’s probably the character I felt the most worried about, that I wouldn’t be able to find his voice and get it right. But I think we are there; I really think we are already there. 

Mary is… it is so, so important that she understands who Tommy is. He’s not a good man. Not entirely a bad man either. Mary has been in his life long enough to know, to have seen and to understand. 

In this beginning part especially, I know that they are going to frustrate the hell out of each other. Tommy with his fear to commit. Mary with that threat of finding someone else.

But they are going to figure it out. I already know that they are going to figure it out. Tommy knows that Mary has been there, that she has seen the kind of man that he is, that he really is. And she wants that man. He’s an ambitious man, a gangster, a killer, a businessman. He is not going to stop, not any of it, not ever. He use to talk about ending the “other stuff” and going 100% legitimate, but that is never going to happen. Honestly Tommy would probably get bored if that happened, he would go seeking something else out.  What is really going to set Mary apart is the fact that she knows that, that she accepts this about him. No one else ever has. Not even Grace. This is… this is huge. Someone who, genuinely, understands and accepts Tommy for exactly who he is. That is something he has NEVER had, not with anyone. 

I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself in talking about what is going to happen, because there’s no way I can say any of that for sure. But we are setting ourselves up for something great here.

I do know that Tommy does not look at Mary and simply see a replacement for Grace. Grace was Grace. And Mary is Mary. 

I think… well I guess I might as well talk a little bit about the way I see it. The way I see it, Grace was someone that Tommy clung to in the aftermath of the war. He was a broken man, a drowning man, and… there was Grace. And even when it turned out to be a lie, even though she was a spy and she betrayed him, Tommy couldn’t quite let go of that ideal he had of her in his mind. She was good for him, in a way. She helped Tommy put some of himself back together. And while arguments can be made that they weren’t the best suited for one another, Tommy loved her. No question there, he loved her, and she is Charlie’s mother, and she’ll always have a part of his heart.

Mary, on the other hand, Mary is exactly who she says she is. Mary loves Tommy for exactly who he is. Mary cares about not only Tommy, but his family as well. Mary has already been a part of Tommy’s life for a long time, and loyal to the Peaky Blinders throughout that time. He’s not just clinging to her. She is there, she is in his home because Tommy likes having her around, because he wants her presence. I just see the dynamic as being entirely different, and I think that it is going to lead to a relationship that is entirely different. I know Mary is going to look out for Tommy, and she is going to challenge him in new ways. These two are going to become something entirely new and all their own. We just have to wait and see how it plays out, and where they take us.

N. splove on Nëela

// I am doing this for safekeeping. We never know when things could disappear. I want to be able to come back to his words.  For this one, it happened at the very beginning of this storyline. 

(Witch) Nëela

Now, this one might not be as long. We haven’t written as much here, and a lot of their story is still in that “you and I musing about the possibilities” phase. But I love that phase! Every time you and I start something new, and start talking and plotting and planning, I just remember all over again why I love having you as a writing partner. 

Klaus was my “one off, I’m not really going to write with him” character, and then you got involved and look what happened! His voice hit me like a MAC truck, and so many possible future stories started to evolve. 

You came along with such an interesting character, a cursed witch, and she just pushed Klaus right out of whatever dark corner of my mind he was hiding in and brought him fully to life. I love that she did that. I love that you can do that. 

All I really have to say here is that I am really looking forward to seeing where these two take us. I already love your witch, and as you write her more and we start to really get into it, I know that it only going to become more and more true.

N. splove: on Oya

 //// I am doing this for safekeeping. We never know when things could disappear. I want to be able to come back to his words. 

xxx

Oya: 

That badass hunter! 

I know that Dean has been quiet for some time, and you know that I have trouble with him sometimes, but Oya, Oya saved him, both in our story, and she saved him for me. I don’t think I would still have him around at all if it weren’t for her (and you). 

Oya gets Dean in a way that no one else ever possibly could. These two, they make me happy, and they break my heart at the same time. They are two broken people who found each other, and together they make it bearable to keep fighting through. 

We know that they had both been through some serious trauma before they came together. Who else could understand where Dean is coming from, if not someone who has been through some comparable experiences? Oya at least knows what it is to be a hunter, the toll that it can take on you. I love that with Oya, Dean can really be Dean. He can be angry, difficult, playful, confused, irrational, upset, in love… you name it. Dean can be Dean. (And a big part of that is thanks to you. You didn’t just want to write with Dean because he’s “hot”. You wanted to write with Dean because he’s complicated, because he’s a great character. Because of all these nuances, and you wanted to create a character who matched that. Which you absolutely did.)Oya gets Dean. She has the patience to deal with him, to get him through his moods. She’s caring, she’s there for him, and for the rest of Team Free Will. She gets that Dean is a bit of a package deal, that Sam and Castiel are going to be a permanent part of her life now too. She doesn’t resent that. She embraces it and loves Sam and Cas like they are her brothers too. Even though she’s had her issues with angels and was unsure about Castiel. She trusted Dean’s judgement on him and has managed to build a relationship there too. It is everything to Dean that she has done so. 

 She’s strong, strong enough to have gotten through everything that has happened to her and still be standing, to still have hope and still keep fighting.

When they are alone, Dean doesn’t have to keep up that tough guy façade. Oya knows it, and she sees right through it. She gets that Dean isn’t always ready to talk about it or “be real” with what he is feeling. I know that’s frustrating for her sometimes. But she deals with him wonderfully. And thank god she understand that Dean doesn’t always have the words, but he shows her how he feels through his actions. She knows that when he trusts her to go on a hunt on her own, or when he holds her, hugs her, makes these other gestures and concessions to her, this is Dean’s love language. Dean doesn’t trust words, he’s been lied to enough. He trusts what he can see, what people do. And through her actions, Oya has proven that she is someone who can be trusted. She has stayed by him, even in his worst moments. She has fought for him and kept loving him. It goes right down to all the little things, the aprons that she always gets for him, the pictures she sends, the way that she teases him, the way she lets him cook for her. For someone who considered himself to be unlovable and damaged beyond repair, it’s impossible to even express how much that means to Dean.

And she may be a shorty, but she is definitely the boss. Dean loves it when Oya takes control. She is confident and sexy as hell. Every part of her. Dean knows that she can be self-conscious about the scars on her arms, but to Dean those are sexy too. They are the marks of a warrior, a survivor. And he is there to reassure her too in those moment when she doubts herself. They are there for each other, always, and I love that. Everything they do is always so emotionally charged, it is what drives both of them. They are the perfect compliment to one another. Both of them are strong. Both of them are weak. But they hold each other up and they keep going.

N. Splove on Elpis

// I am doing this for safekeeping. We never know when things could disappear. I want to be able to come back to his words.

Elpis: 

The OG! We already know this. (I know technically we started with Asma and Pride, and Elpis in her true form came along later, and all the love to Elpis’ human vessel, but we are here to talk about the goddess herself now!) She is perfection, the only creature in existence worthy of being Pride’s other half. She is an absolute badass in her own right. Pride (and I) can’t wait to explore more of what she is capable of now that she is regaining her power, now that she has her weapon, and now that she is not being held back in any way. She’s not there just to be pretty, she’s not helpless like some wanted her to believe in the past. She is extremely powerful, capable of incredible things that we are not even aware of yet. But now that she is realizing this for herself, she is going to tell you exactly what they are, and Pride and I are going to be lucky enough to go along for the ride and see what happens. I am beyond excited for all of it.

We both know that it takes a very special kind of character to be able to both put up with Pride and keep his attention at the same time. And that character is Elpis. She is light (and also darkness), she is creation (and destruction), she is hope (and despair). I see Elpis as a balance. She can play games with Pride, influence people, give in to that bloodlust and have a good time (and how he loves that!). But she also understands that they can’t just go and destroy everything, they can’t just kill everyone. Left to his own devices, Pride might very well try. Elpis on the other hand, is like that voice that says “but if you kill everyone, who would be left to worship you once you conquer the universe?” 

(She also knows just how to talk to Pride, how to bring him to a more reasonable place while stroking his ego, not making him feel like he’s really giving anything up). She really is going to be the key to making all of this happen. I hope you know that. Without Elpis, Pride could never make all of it work. It is Elpis who is going to keep him from biting off more than he can chew, who will keep him from burning out, who will make sure that he doesn’t go and get himself unmade yet again. Pride needs her. His nature prevents him from really admitting to this in so many words, but he needs her. He didn’t go and free her from her cycle of reincarnation for no reason. On some level, he knows that he needs her. He’ll say it’s because he wanted her and he gets what he wants (also true), but that’s not the entire story here.

New profile: cowboy AU

I have had a renewed interest in anything cowboy since I watched Yellowstone. So I'm tweaking my girl Hayley to make her fit in a "Yellowstone" universe.

Physical appearance: 

Hayley is an average-sized, thick black woman with long, curly black hair that reaches the lower part of her back. Because of her blindness, her eyes are white and hooded. She also has a white star tattooed on her inner left arm, which reminds her that there is still hope in this life.

• Multilingualism: Hayley is fluent in several languages.  including American Sign Language, as well as some of the spoken languages on Earth. (English, French, Spanish)

Weaknesses/Crippling fears:

• Anger: Hayley's anger can sometimes blind her. She doesn't know what to feel aside from pure rage for her childhood and the constant heartbreaks and betrayals she had to face. Her anger comes from her low self-esteem and the perception that everyone will abandon her. When enraged, she doesn't think much and goes for the throat

• Gullible: Hayley is very naive. She trusts people and can be easily manipulated by someone who can sense her low self-esteem. Her naivety caused her so many troubles in the past that she had to learn to see through the lies. (This is still in progress.)

Hayley isn't very confident in herself due to her chaotic past she has. She's traumatized by the death of her parents and even more disgusted by her biological mother. She craves connections and affection, but since every person in her life, save for her parents and biological dad, has betrayed her or strayed away, she is very aloof and scared of being hurt again. She hides her insecurities through her quips and banter, but her eyes are full of melancholy and sadness. Hayley is a sweet person, with a lot of love to give but not enough people who can receive it. She's very stubborn and determined to prove she is the one who can protect others, regardless of the blood in her veins or her blindness. When push comes to shove, she can read you to filth and can be straight-up mean to others.

Fictional Character Biography:

Current history: TBD

GoT (regular): A snake getting closer -theo xBäahal-

GoT (regular): A snake getting closer -theo xBäahal-

Theodore Tyrell couldn't stop himself. He needed to see the princess again, especially after the dance number she did at Highgarden a couple of months ago. He managed to track her down this time at Winterfell. Arranging a trip to Winterfell wasn't difficult because he needed to visit the lord of Winterfell. Making sure that he would be there at the same time as the princess was another challenge, but he managed to get it. He found her at the balcony of the ballroom, and upon laying his eyes on her, the heir of the House Tyrell swallowed a lump. The princess was mesmerizing! Her silver hair was cascading down her back and flattered her calves. 

She looked as if she were crowned with silver, which caught his attention. She heard his footsteps and turned on her heels to face and greet him properly. She was wearing a beautiful black cotton dress with a red dragon stitched on her chest and long black gloves to protect her from the biting cold.  Her hair had two long braids that kept her wild silver locks from bothering her face.  He looked at her delicate features and lovely soft and plump lips, and for a brief moment, Theo's knees almost buckled. She was impossibly beautiful, so much so that he believed she was not real.  Bäahal tilted her head to the side, her eyes narrowing a little bit because she was trying to remember when she saw that man. After all, he felt familiar.

"Greetings, lord Tyrell. I have been informed of your visit and wanted to greet you properly."

"Greetings, your grace." He respectfully bowed to her and gently crossed the distance between them. He grabbed her gloved right hand and pressed his lips to its back before he released it. "I am thrilled to meet you again. I never had the chance to tell you how delightful your dance was. I understand that you don't always perform in public, but it was an honor to watch you dance that night."

"Oh, you enjoyed the dance? I am very glad that you did! It was my way of thanking the host and rekindling my love for dancing. Thank you, my kind lord, for your encouraging words." She gently nodded and put her hands back on the balcony.

"I couldn't get my eyes off of you, your grace. I can't seem to find the right words to describe how beautiful it was. Your grace, I hope you will dance again for us." -He smiled at her- "I have to say.... Since that day, I have wanted to see you again. I didn't think it would be possible, yet here we are."

"You're flattering me, Lord Tyrell. I am but an ambassador for the queen, and because of this, I am always on the road. I would have met you again, eventually."

"But I'd rather have you here where there would be no one to interrupt us." -He let it slip that he wanted more than just pleasantries and superficial connection. It was not as subtle as he wished to be, but he was hopeful the princess would get his drift.-

"......" -She swallowed a lump and pinched her lips together for a moment- "Is there something you want to say to me, Lord Tyrell? I am not sure I understand what you meant by 'interrupt us.' " -She decided to play coy, which made the young man smirk and chuckle. Alright, she would be harder to get, which he had to expect from the princess of the Seven Kingdoms, after all.-

" I simply wish to get to know you better. I hope that the few days spent here would allow us to become familiar with each other." -He wanted to slip his arm around her shoulders and push her against his chest, but he knew better than to act so defiantly.-

Instead, he chose to be a little bit mysterious so she would be interested in him.  Bäahal, unlike Theodore, did not catch his intention. Unfortunately, her experience with men was severely limited to those who didn't try to hide their intentions to her. She knew when a man desired her because they had lust in their eyes and acted in such a way that she couldn't mistake their desire with anything else. She knew when a man wanted to possess her but couldn't see when he was flirting or genuinely in love with her. That explained why she interpreted Jaime's attempt to protect her from loving him as full rejection.  That explained why it took Jaime to spit it out clearly for her to realize that he was in love with her just like she was in love with him. If it wasn't spelled clearly, she couldn't see it. She didn't have the tools to notice when someone wanted a relationship with her. 

"Then, we will take the opportunity of these couple days together to get to know each other better. I am sure you have extraordinary stories to tell. So we would discuss at dinner with our host and maybe during the day if we're both off-duty. It was pleasant seeing you again, but I think I would retire to my quarters until dinner. I wish you well." -And she left-

Theodore was far more complex than others gave him credit for. There was desire for Bäahal, a strong lust that held him in a chokehold from the moment he laid his eyes on her. There was also a genuine affection for the princess, based on what he heard about her -her bravery at the siege, her straight-forwardness, and that child-like innocence that made her appreciate the little things in life- and on what he saw of her -her uncanny beauty that blinded him when he first laid eyes on her, the way she laughed, the way she danced and that warm gaze of hers whenever she looked at chidlren-. He wanted her. Carnally, biblically, and fully. He wanted her!  He heard rumours of her being betrothed to the filthy Kingslayer Jaime Lannister. It baffled him that she would choose to be with that man, regardless of how much hated he was in the Seven Kingdoms. He had to see for himself why someone like her would pick someone like him. He had to see if there was a way to sway her in his favor and to show the princess that there were more deserving men out there. He had to. 

 

Doya: Saving lives

 Oya ran her hand through her curly hair and leaned into her chair.  The current case they were working on together with Dean was far more complex than she first thought it would be.  She stroked her chin and furrowed her brows.  It always was easy when the monsters were not humans. It was easier to fight them and easier to put them down. What was more difficult was when humans were involved in the evil they fought. Oya and Dean always tried to reason with them -unless these bastards willingly killed humans, kids, and babies-. They would always try to convince them to stop whatever incantations and rituals they wanted to achieve. More often than not, Dean and Oya managed to make these humans stop whatever shit they were trying to do but a good chunk of them were hardcore believers in Evil. They were rotten inside, and the only way to protect lives was to treat them like they treated most of the monsters they fought. They had to kill humans. Oya hated it, not because she did the right thing and helped rid the world of scums. 

She hated it because it reminded her that humans could sometimes be worse than monsters. Humans knew better than to hurt others, and yet, some of them chose to do it. In this case, she honestly believed that the humans in there were evil. They were in a cult and wanted to sacrifice human lives to summon a lord of Hell to Earth. She knew they wouldn't be reasoned with, and the only way to deal with them would be to kill them. She dropped her head against her arms and sighed deeply.  She hated to take lives, but it sure looked like she would have no other choice but to do it if she wanted to save lives.  The hunter looked at her husband and bit at her bottom lip. Her hazel eyes stared at Dean, who knew what was troubling her. He had watched Oya in these circumstances. He knew that she was emotionally torn between her duties and her desire to protect human lives. He sat next to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. This case would be dealt with like all the other cases they worked on. What mattered was that they saved lives, and if they had to take down some humans while doing so, then they were prepared for it.  Oya made a little bit of noise and leaned into his touch, feeling comforted by his presence. They would focus on saving lives. She would focus on saving lives. 

COPG: Life and Death of Ishtar: he was ready to put an end to it.

COPG:  Life and Death of Ishtar: he was ready to put an end to it. 

Ishtar didn't wait for Ayasha to be ready and instantly teleported to the location she gave him.  He needed to see for himself the truth of her words. As soon as he arrived, he noticed how unusual the place looked. How come this place was such a wreck in the middle of tall buildings? It was completely taken over by flowers, vines, and other vegetation that made it look like a wild garden.  The naked eye could be fooled and would think that it was a genuine natural event, but he knew better. He could see the essence of his sister all over the place. He could literally see it on the floor mixed with the cum of that disgusting beast that was the Sin. He could see her godly essence at every corner of the former room, at the feet of every plant that grew from the blood of humans. He could see her influence and her essence lingering in this garden as well as the thoughts and emotions of the mortals who died within those walls.  They had sex there.  He could smell her. He could feel it in his bones, what had transpired in this room. It was as if the scene was playing in his very eyes. -courtesy of his beloved sister's essence-. 

He felt the jaws of jealousy seize his heart and squeeze it hard as he looked over the whole scenerie. He could see his sister, laid on the floor, legs open for all to see. He could see it now, the cock of the Sin sliding in and out of his beloved sister. He could hear her screams, the choked moans as she would beg for more. He could feel how depraved that event was despite being unable to see what had exactly unfolded. All he could feel were the desires from the mortals slain here. He could feel their desperation for the goddess, their lust mixed with anger and bloodlust. He could feel them lose their minds and kill each other in the name of Elpis. It wasn't just her mere presence there that caused such a ruckus. No. She actively influenced them to give everything to her as tributes. They worshipped her, plain and simple, and she turned their lives upside down. If anything, life booming in this secluded place, turning the building into pieces, was a testament of her power.  Elpis had nothing to do with the meek goddess they convinced her to be. She was reclaiming her power, and that was easy to see. 

Ayasha finally arrived, her blonde vessel dropped in nothing but a white and gold toga. She noticed the scenery and quickly came to the same conclusion as Ishtar. It was Elpis' doing. This place reeked of her essence, and the display of power was obscene but willful. Her dear sister wanted them to find it and to know that she was able to roam the Earth without being noticed by Ayasha's spies. It also was a way for her to showcase her power and influence on mortals. She had tapped into the destructive side of Life, as those trees that grew from the pools of blood and entrails on the floor testified. She had made such a bold and flamboyant move that Ayasha understood the gravity of the situation. Elpis was in control. For the first time in a long time, she was the one calling the shot, and worse than anything, she had vanished from their eyes and could strike at any moment. Ayasha swallowed a lump. 

"Brother-mine. If anything, this is Elpis' declaration of war."

"Do you think I don't see it? She's taunting us with her display of power!" -He roared. His voice boomed in this makeshift garden. Ayasha swallowed a lump and bit her bottom lip-

"Ishtar... She is more powerful now than she's ever been. She grew trees and vines and flowers from inside a building. She tore this place into a million pieces and turned it into a garden. You can see it, can't you? Her influence? Humans worshipped her to the point of killing each other and themselves in doing so. They gave her everything, from their essence to their lives, and she took every last bit of it.  I think we do not need more evidence than the ones we already have. She is coming for us and we should be ready for it. She knows her way around the Prima Donna so..."

"Ayasha, I can feel fear squeeze your throat." -She dropped her head, blonde locks fell on her chest-

"I am afraid, brother-mine. I can admit it. I am afraid she would come and snuff us out of existence like she did the Sumerian Pantheon. I do want to live. So please... Please... I need to know that we're going to win this war." -Ishtar's face softened as he heard his sister's pleas. She must have been genuinely desperate for her to admit how scared she was. He realized that at this moment, he was the only one who could bring her some sort of comfort-

"I promise you that." 

He pulled her into a tight hug because he thought that she needed to be held in his powerful arms. Deep down, however, He was extremely angry. Jealousy had eaten him alive, and all he wanted was to find the Sin and kill him for good. He couldn't bare the thought of that abomination fucking his sister. He couldn't bare the thought of her debasing herself with Pride in front of an audience. He had to put an end to it and he was willing to rush things over.
