Shepherd Love Is A Mess

Shepherd Love is a mess ™️

Shepherd is one of my favorite characters in the series, but he is a little bit of a mess. See below.

He knows about magic and…. is part of an online community for it

When he was 18, he got drunk for the first time with a creek dryad who told him her life story.

He owes ‘at least 3 imps his firstborn’

Befriended trolls with bone broth

Midwifed a centaur foal

Helped a unfairy with taxes

Swore on his life he wouldn’t tell about the Snowbaz plus penny thing

Went backpacking with a Sasquatch and gave it his toothbrush

Met a water/river spirit… by introducing himself to it

Used to be a storm chaser now chases Magic because it’s more thrilling

Willingly goes into a vampire lair with not much hope of escaping alive.

Starts to try and tell a vampire named Josh his life story some highlights include: ‘My name is Shepard, I’m from Omaha’ and ‘My parents are divorced, how about you’

Tried to warn Josh the vampire that drinking his blood is a really really bad idea

Promptly kills that vampire when the vampire tried.

‘And I am also slightly… a little bit… cursed’

‘Wrong place, wrong time… a series of miscommunications and cultural differences’

The curse left him ‘well and truly fucked’

He’s now an illegal immigrant

He tried to get help from the curse from a genie

He learned of the curse ritual from ‘some guy I met’

He lost his third born child to a giant for the ritual

The demon he summoned? He actually got engaged to it…

He was not forced to marry it, he asked for its hand… on accident

He has tried to hook up with a fairy

It is highly implied that he has gone home with other creatures

He lost his firstborn child to three imps

Lost his last name by telling it to a fairy.

He got an STD from a merperson, but don’t worry, he’s only a carrier

The curse was labeled invalid because of how much if a wreck he is. See above.

Gruvia headcanon that Juvia is the breadwinner even though Gray goes on higher paying jobs solely because Gray’s group causes so much collateral damage that they barely scrape by enough to live off.

My favorite thing about the Simon Snow Trilogy is that it is such a close knit community and there are so many running and random jokes. It’s a good fandom that is very open to all who enjoy the series.

Any other sex repulsed aces out there who, when reading a fanfic, do the really fast scroll past the sex scenes so they can get the domestic fluff they wanted? There are not enough fluffy and wholesome fanfics out there.

For some reason I decided to start writing a fanfic, and I have never been more scared. Is there a right way to do this? A wrong way? I have an outline at least….
