For the pet au. This one is gonna hurt. How would his brothers react of Subaru was actually put down?

Admin Mawile: (●>д<)ノ

Shuu:

-For the most part, he does everything possible not to care. It would hurt too much to think about what happened to the brother he’s known since he was small, to think that he’s probably next. It was to be expected that the useless get disposed of, so there’s nothing for him to be upset over. 

Reiji:

-The death of someone close to him makes him want to do everything possible not to be next. That kind of fate is what happens when one isn’t good enough to live, and the only thing he can do to avoid being put down himself is to get better and better, until he’s worth too much to be disposed of. 

Ayato:

-Having his brother actually die would send him into a panic, desperate to become good enough that he won’t be next. It’s surreal that someone he’s grown up with can just be gone, and it gets to the point where he’s so scared of it happening to him that he’d do very literally anything to be good. 

Kanato:

-Losing his brother, even one that he wasn’t particularly close to, would worsen his behavioral problems to a worrying extent. The reality that he really could die would leave him detached from reality, unable to do much more than cry and hope that he won’t be the next one to be gotten rid of. 

Laito:

-Sad as it is, that’s the kind of thing that happens in their lives, and he’ll do his absolute best not to be bothered by it… Which doesn’t go so well. He’s more sensitive than he’d ever want to admit to, and losing a loved one leaves a huge impact on his already damaged mental state. 

A quick question, in the Human Au, does the reader/Yui have a rival vampire family, like how the Mukamis were to the Sakamakis? Would they kidnap the boys in order to piss off the reader/Yui? What’s their motivation against her?

Admin Mawile: (*´・д・)ノ I have not pictured a rival family for her, honestly. In my opinion, that’s the perfect place for Ocs, so I haven’t set anything in stone with the idea. For people who have multiple DL Aus and want to use the human Au, they’re open to place their characters in the setting however they please. Personally, I prefer the idea of all the boys with one predatory vampire, in the typical otome game set up, but it’s up to the reader what they like best~

Parental au: For some of the boys would they use like kindergarten techniques? Nap time, snack time, stickers for good behavior…

Admin Mawile: (`・ω・´)ノ To be honest, basic behavioral techniques are practically necessary, considering where most of the boys are at in terms of decent behavior and mental age. However, if they ever figured out that that’s what you were doing, it would go very, very badly… Perhaps under the best possible circumstances, it would be effective, but being even the slightest bit patronizing is a dangerous game, no matter how childish some of the boys may be. 

Human au: teasing and tormenting kanato because he has teddy

Admin Mawile: ( * ́꒳`*)੭ 

-”Why do you always carry that toy around? Are you some kind of kid?”

Kanato flinches at your taunting tone, clutching the bear even closer to his chest in a pathetic attempt to hide it from you. How cute. 

It only takes a second to teleport forwards and snatch the toy from his hands. His eyes go wide, and a terrified shriek tears itself from his mouth, hands immediately snapping up to grab after his precious Teddy. 

“G-Give it back! Please. . !”  Tears are welling in Kanato’s eyes, and his voice has taken on a panicked tone as he reaches pathetically for the toy. 

“Nope~ I’m not giving it back until you tell me why you need this stupid thing,” you laugh. “Hey, maybe I should toss it out the window and make you fetch.” Kanato squeaks out a hoarse, broken sob. 

With a grin, you hold the bear just out of his reach. 

I like the new au! Please tell more about it

Admin Mawile: (●´∀`)ノ~

-So, the main idea is that, instead of being sent as a bride, the reader is sent as a parental substitute. In theory, they’re supposed to help the boys be less… terrible, but that doesn’t exactly go as planned. 

Like in canon, with Yui having major issues with romancing the boys, the reader has just as much trouble winning them over on the friendship side. They’re all still awful, and most of them outright reject the idea of needing anyone but themselves. It’s a long, slow process of kindness and making progress little by little, but in the end, it does pay off. 

Just how there’s a fluffier side with canon, where the boys genuinely love Yui and treat her sort of decently (in their own ways), this Au has an eventual similar point, where the relationship between them and the reader has reached a semi-healthy, semi-loving point. 

However, considering that I thrive off of fictional misery, I am 1000% open to situations within this Au that are angsty, painful, or otherwise messed up. I have no issues with making this dark >:3c

In short, it’s a version of canon where the relationship with the boys is platonic/parental instead of romantic. It has all the same issues and trials as in canon, but the end result is something sort of healthy and good. It’s still difficult, but there’s potential to for positive change. 

(to both admins) just curious, who’s your favorite boy(s) to write?

Admin Mawile: Skitty isn’t here right now (school is crushing her free time), so I’m the only one who can answer! 

And I don’t really have a favorite??? I like Carla for obvious reasons, but that’s very much just my bias. I guess I do have least favorites to write though, which are Shin and Yuuma. I always get stuck on their parts of requests ;w; I really hope I write them well enough, cause I tend to feel like I don’t…

not a request, just wanted to let you know that I simply adore your writing (it’s always well thought out and fluid), and I want to thank you for being such an active member in the community! I love your Aus (Human Au being a particular favourite) but I also really enjoy your longer work as well (It Takes A Lot Out Of You is such a heart-wrenching and well-paced story, I was super excited when it updated) and I hope you have a great week! <3 <3

Admin Mawile: Thank you! 😀 I do my best to stay active, and I’m glad people appreciate the work I put into (mostly) daily posts!

Longer work is honestly soooo fun to write, and my Ao3 is the place where I dump all my ideas for fandoms that I don’t have blogs for… And I have WAY more ideas than I’ve posted there!! :O
