Infernal Feminae / Erebus | Let Me Be Your Rose In December - Tumblr Posts

You want that gargoyle dick so bad

Well at least someone gets it.

“Don't jump into so drastic conclusions, and don't label a kind, handsome and talented man as just a 'dick'.”

“Besides...you know what's great in pianists and guitarists?”

“Their finger dexterity.”

I have no self control

@phoenixborn @infernal-feminae

Don't mind her staring intensely and appreciatively at those fingers. Face. Arms. The whole man.

He doesn’t consider himself much of a singer, but he oh so casually starts playing this song on his guitar.

Cindy was...in a mood to say at least. Sensitive, trained ears immediately picked up the slightest difference in tone. Victory half secured. She allowed herself to rock against Erebus with a pleased sigh, nails slowly, deliberately creeping up his chest. Eyes shone with wicked glint, promising no good.

“Would that be...”

“all~?”

Toned thighs rubbed together at the possibility, part of her tempted to give him a chase. Pupils blown wide from excitement at the decision already formed.

“Possibly it was, you're always so...deep in something.” her sharp smirk left the 'which isn't me' unsaid hanging in the air. And the cat of a woman took off with an echoing cackle, the thrill of a hunt and the result of getting caught sweeter than honey.

@phoenixborn​ said: For Erebus:

“You know, I really wouldn’t mind you playing drums on my ass~”

“That so?” He hums, as if he was only half-listening to what she said. But there is a distinct sort of playfulness in his tone that wasn’t usually there. “Well, if you insist.”

And then he delivers a hard smack to her ass.

“Yeah I did” she shrugged as it was something normal or at least logical thing to do

“More like a...warmup actually. The punch is in the reply.” oh she indeed had come from the infamous Véghváry line with a plan like this

“About the cosmic rock, do you have sunglasses? Or something similar because it will be bright if I show you.” Cindy definitely have been paying attention, maybe in the human realm she could do it without her wings. But in a pocket dimension she needed her own amplifier to communicate with stars, parts of her own fire.

@phoenixborn​ said: No rest for Erebus

“I wrote a diss track about Mammon and possibly invented a new music genre: cosmic rock.”

….Not the oddest thing he ever heard Cindy say in all honesty. 

“You wrote a diss track.” He repeated. “About the embodiment of Greed?” He didn’t think the sin would like that once it reached his ears, but he wasn’t worried about Cindy. Not many things were an actual threat to a cosmic entity after all.

“Though cosmic rock sounds metal as fuck.”

Fuck Marry Kill Erebus, Gabriel, and Sakuya

“Kill Gabriel. Haven't killed an archangel yet.”

“Fuck Sakuya, been there done that”

“And...”

“Marry Erebus.”

@infernal-feminae

It was a chase, a playful one but everything was a competition for her. She was agile, slippery and incredibly fast; just as in singing great at improvising. Of course he could use his wings, no fair! Although hers would've blinded him so they weren't brought out to play. She elegantly slid under the desk to avoid being grabbed with a bright laugh.

She was...so happy. Carefree. Excited~ Cindy didn't notice how different it felt next to her experiences in the past, how even the spark of fear of being harmed wasn't present.

A dirty trick, yes: when jumping around the corner, she quickly unhooked her bra and snapped it at the estimated height of his face when he turned after her as well

Somehow, he managed to bite back a low groan that threatened to escaped from this throat. She knew exactly what she was doing to him and his body. He always valued his self-control. But ever since this spitfire of a woman had entered his afterlife, he found himself gradually losing his grip on his control.

He was about to make remark on her innuendo when she suddenly took. White eyes widened, watching her in slight bewilderment. Ah, so she wanted to play cat and mouse did she?

A wicked grin stretched across his lips.

Oh, then they could play cat and mouse.

With a mighty flap of his wings, Erebus took off in the sky after her. He did love the thrill of the chase.

She didn't back away, only offered a sassy hip tilt for the approaching woman. The kiss wasn't as passionate from her end and not because she moved on so quickly. It's just...he was just...something else.

“Oh you say that like you gave me your number.” a light brown-crimson hair flip

“Besides, you seemed the ‘one night stand and that's it’ type. Or did you miss me so badly?” although Cindy definitely wasn't above a little teasing bite

However Erebus' discomfort did not go unnoticed by the entity, so she quickly put a bit more appropriate space between her and Sakuya.

“We do, it was -correct me if I'm wrong- a one night thing a few weeks before we met.” she didn't know why the last part felt important to add

“Why, you two know each other?”

phoenixborn​:

To keep her voice steady was a task after witnessing that face; her eyes glittered with the unsaid ‘Told you so’ mischief. Performing with him was as easy as a flowing river despite his shock, just like her music was in his veins too.

Her eyebrows furrowed in distaste when someone dared to yell into Erebus guitar solo; the landlady here was quite a bitch. When she heard the door slam was when she kicked her satanic grit into full gear.

“Exploding, reloading; this quest never ending until I give out my last breath.”

Probably the most surprising was that the ground didn’t start to shake at the raw voice of reckoning. Cindy wasn’t just capable of briefly touching the third or second octave but also could stay as long as she wanted to with the previously thought impossible roughness. Powerful and earth shattering, she still finished the long last note, relatively on a clear voice in contrast of the previous stunts.

“It’s called art. And vocal acrobatics.” Cindy answered smugly at the approaching woman, taking her stand between Erebus and…oh. Well…nevermind. She still was a terrible landlady.

“Besides, it was my idea.” she shrugged

Sakuya tore her gaze away from her brother to look at Cindy. Her expression conveying nothing for a moment or two before recognition lit up her entire face. Her previous annoyance all but forgotten.

“Well, well, well~ Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes?” Sakuya smirked, climbing up onto the stage. “You don’t write, you don’t call. I’m hurt, Cindy.” Although her playful tone suggests she wasn’t hurt at all.

The cherry blossom Overlord grasps Cindy’s face to capture her lips, unbothered by the fact her brother was standing right there across from her.

“I–you two know each other?” Erebus asked, quickly averting his gaze elsewhere and wishing he was anywhere else but there at that moment.

Cindy never thought anything or anyone could bring bliss rivaling what the stage brought for her. Yet here he was, still holding her and gazing at her like she was something precious. He was so...gentle with her on top of everything.

She never wanted to be let go of this embrace. This is what she suffered decades for. Crowd long forgotten, her microphone aimlessly rolling on the stage and she couldn't care less.

Her smile so bright both emotional and literal sense but...she needed to ask.

“Does this mean- ...are we...?” dating? She didn't dare to fully finish the question in fear of ruining something so perfect

phoenixborn​:

Of course they had to play Sweet Child O Mine. Not because of the beyond iconic guitar solos but parts where Erebus also could utilize his range. Cindy was a wildfire, a vocal terror running all around the stage in ecstasy; a true reminiscent of Axl Rose and the embodiment of untameable 80s rock n roll. With one deep breath she finished the song, drawing out the last word for almost a half minute, spicing it with a few vocal runs as she was slowly descending in pitch.

The response was deafening roar of amazement, raw euphoria in her veins. She only could witness this once, when she was alive. Lightheaded, dizzy from the happiness of having her dream fulfilled, she didn’t even think just took off towards Erebus with an overjoyed laugh.

She was agile, her clothes never really hid her muscles; it wasn’t much of a surprise that she succeeded in securing a spot with her legs tightly locked around him, one arm around his neck, the other hand lost in his hair. Everything faded into the background the moment their lips met, kiss born from shared talent, passion and attraction; Cindy was glowing.

And for once she couldn’t say anything after parting, but she didn’t move from her spot at all. She only could stare with stars sparkling in her eyes, her gentle radiance gently enveloping them.

His hands found her thighs, keeping in her place not that she needed it, but he also just wanted to feel her. He couldn’t remember the last he had been kissed like this, could he remember ever sharing a kiss with such passion. Not since…

Erebus pushed down those memories. He wanted to focus on the here and now. And more importantly, he wanted to focus on her. He didn’t even care that they had an audience. The only thing that mattered was Cindy.

But, like all good things, their kiss came to an end.

He smiled back at her, his heart warmed upon seeing her. She never looked more beautiful than in this moment. Gently, he would tangle his hand in her fiery hair and rest his forehead against her own. He had no words to give her, but he didn’t need to. They understood each other perfectly.

“No no, you didn't do anything!” desperation thick in her voice; dangerously close to crying

“I just- I thought... I thought I've gone too far and you-you don't like me or worse, I made you uncomfortable.” the truth was finally blabbered out; how she longed to reach after him, to be close to him again. But no, not while the situation wasn't clear.

A quiver of her lips at the faintest change in his expression, her arms tightly wrapping around herself to prevent an almost inevitable breakdown.

“They...they are dead. I killed them after I was resurrected.”

A thick swallow, a half fallen, half floating tear of stardust

“Except the leader so I can torment him until the end of his life just like how the memories will haunt me for eternity.”

phoenixborn​:

Control. Something she always prided herself on, control over her incredible voice, control over her gravity defying moves, control over the insane amount of power she possessed. But her emotions were volatile, now thankfully less explosive due to her effort to rein them as well. She handled this relatively good; Cindy concluded silently.

Lost in her thoughts, the contact, despite who he was and how she felt spooked her. The brief tensing and visible flinch as if expecting harm a telltale sign exactly what type of men she has been dealing with.

“I’m…I’m not?” she repeated, despite her clothing, her behavior, sparkling jade eyes were filled with such innocence at the uncertain question

It took tremendous effort to not reach after him, regretting terribly the initial reflexive reaction. Erebus definitely didn’t deserve to feel terrible because of that.

“My…” slip? “reflex before…wasn’t because of you. You are nothing but kind to me. I…don’t really experience it you know?”

The flinch didn’t go unnoticed by him and that’s why he quickly retracted his hand, afraid that he might have overstepped his bounds. “I–of course you’re not. I don’t know what I did but I didn’t mean to offend you.” He insisted.

His cold façade softened a little when he saw just how innocent her expression was. A stark contrast to what she was wearing right now. “I see…” He murmured, his hands subconsciously curling into fists. 

She had been vague about it before, but knowing there were those out there who put their hands on her. Who hurt her…Well, it made his blood boil.

@sinful-feminae

My legs are shaking gf 🤝🏼 I don’t care I’m not done bf

Pain was something the entity was used to and this was more than bearable and beyond enjoyable.

No intrusive thoughts, memories of the past, only pleasure with a sharp edge until it stopped. His worried gaze and almost vow to immediately stop brought her rare smile: soft lips, sparkling eyes of innocence with her fiery hair framing her face.

Cindy wasn't about to let him think he had hurt her and feel guilty for continuing. Strong legs wrapped around his torso, iron thighs keeping him in place, fully hilted inside. A ripple of bared teeth as her wet heat tried to accommodate to the length and girth; soon she was smiling again, her fingertips gently brushing the hair out of his face.

“Erebus, love, look at me.” not even noticing the slip of the tongue “You are making me feel great. I trust you and promise I will let you know if it's too much. But it's not; I do have a moderate pain kink. Don't worry. I'm only easy to break emotionally.”

” yeah. yeah, but it’s a good hurt, keep going. “

Keep reading

His question made her pause...she had no trouble directly staring into the Sun and she saw the sky much differently than even demons. Yeah probably not.

“Be very careful and close your eyes if it's too much. The sound is more important anyways.”

A few uneventful moments, her head lightly tipped backwards in search of the sources; stars seen from the human realm puncturing the hellish sky one by one.

The process was slow to give Erebus time to close his eyes if it was too overwhelming. Light began to concentrate behind the woman, wings that would make the purest angel glare with poisonous envy elegantly emerged from her back in a graceful arch. Where the feathers had morphed into fire was impossible to tell, their impressive width trembled gently from the amount of contained power. And she began to sing.

“Take me home tonight, I'd do anything with you. Buy a bottle of whiskey, we'll get matching tattoos ” her voice coming from everywhere, loud, clear despite the absolute lack of a microphone or any similar amplifier device

“Tell me that you love me, let me drive your car” a small sharp, playful flick of her tone

“ We can sit 'til morning light just countin' every star. 'Cause if there's a Hell I'll meet you there! And if there's a Heaven they're serving beer” the tips of her wings flicked ever so gently to keep contact and control over the stars, strain was nowhere to be found in her voice

“ And if you're an angel, then I must be high” Cindy smiled as she let the last note echo throughout the whole ring, instead of her usual grit her tone crystal clear enough to cut glass

“Oh, if there's a church it's rock n roll; if there's a devil I sold my soul. And it's alright whatever we do tonight.” a step closer, those brilliant wings fluttering in the nonexistent wind

“'Cause if there's a God damnit she won't mind.”

“If there's God, Baby, she won't mind.” a quick, clean switch from the sharp cry to a lasting deeper note, the sound surrounding them, still echoing even after she had long closed her mouth and now smiled at him so gently

phoenixborn​:

“Yeah I did” she shrugged as it was something normal or at least logical thing to do

“More like a…warmup actually. The punch is in the reply.” oh she indeed had come from the infamous Véghváry line with a plan like this

Or something similar because it will be bright if I show you.” Cindy definitely have been paying attention, maybe in the human realm she could do it without her wings. But in a pocket dimension she needed her own amplifier to communicate with stars, parts of her own fire.

“Uhh, yeah. Should have some on me.” Erebus dug into the pocket of his coat and pulled out a pair of black shades. Shrugging he decided to go ahead and put them on.

“You sure these will be enough to protect my eyes?” He trusted Cindy, of course, but he still was a little wary given that he was more sensitive to bright lights than the average person.

A small hitch of breath at the gentle action, her own fingers curling slightly tighter around his, as if afraid of losing him. Time seemed to stop, pain and anguish vanished when she was with him.

At the soft words Cindy slowly increased the contact, her yearning an unquenchable desert and he was the gentle rain she was waiting for all of her life.

“You are perfect.” shimmering jade gazed up to the gargoyle demon with softly crackling fire

She wasn't aware what possessed her to say it, not that it was a lie, no only the truth. It just...felt right to vocalize that thought.

@phoenixborn​ said: For Erebus 🥲

Warm hand slipped into his wordlessly at first, marveling at the smooth contrast of ashen skin and disguised starlight.

“I…uh wanted to be close” came the explanation of her action with a blush and nervous smile; how she craved contact, to be touched was almost maddening

He’s taken aback by the unexpected contact. It’s obvious that he’s not used to such…tender gestures. Still, he subconsciously ran his thumb over Cindy’s hand, savoring her warm, soft skin.

Erebus couldn’t help but think how good it felt from such a simply touch. How he craved it so as well. And how it felt so right with Cindy.

The beginnings of a smile tug at his lips. “You don’t need to explain anything to me, sweetheart.” He murmured, interlocking his fingers together with her own.

Her head fluidly turned a full 180° at the first sentence, blood slowly but surely evaporating from midnight claws.

“ T̵h̸e̷y̷ ̵h̷u̷r̵t̴ ̶y̶o̶u̷. ” the entity echoed as it glided back to the gargoyle demon. Too long fingers gently tilted his face upwards to meet eyes of abyss with a golden shifting galaxy as pupils as it searched for injuries.

“I didn't waste anything.” the voice was still strong but less drowning as the being slowly changed back to the familiar face of the young woman

“You don't have to be strong alone anymore. It, this is also my job. Why I was resurrected in the first place. I don't doubt your abilities ” Cindy sighed, now every part of her back to normal “but don't make me watch you getting hurt. I lost so much already.”

the violently protective … sentence starters

@phoenixborn​ said: At Erebus, a reminder that she’s just as terrifying as the rest of her family

“Of course I killed them. They hurt you.”

He knew that Cindy was powerful. She was fucking cosmic entity for Christ’s sake. He also knew that she was a vengeful cosmic entity. “They didn’t hurt me that much…” He muttered. Oh, they certainly tried, but while he was not made of stone, his skin was tougher than most people. 

“I coulda’ handled them myself. It’s my job. They were just a buncha of lowlife losers not worth your effort, Cindy. Don’t…don’t waste it on me.”

@infernal-feminae

The touch grounded her, much better than her mangled mind ever could've. She has mastered switching between forms with ease, one with the voracious hunger of a newborn star, the other the blazing supernova of a dying one. And she was still capable of feeling somewhat human. Especially when Erebus was near.

“You have nothing to be sorry about.” probably the firmest tone she ever used with him, but how could she allow him berating himself for her decision

“You aren't relying on me. I am well aware that I can...overreact. And the outcome is brutal but final. I know I'm...much.”

“You can take care of yourself. It was me who stepped in without asking.” the entity couldn't remember one time in her life when she apologized or at least came close doing so.

“I...” gone the unforgiving burning void, only vulnerable jade gazed up “I lost my family. My virginity. My life. Some parts of my sanity. My physical health.” interpreting it as a sign, her heart picked up a brutal rhythm, one that made her seek his embrace even further

“The only thing I hold intact from myself is my voice. The ones I can save are because of my losses. And one time I still failed. I just- I couldn't stand and watch.” she was soaking up the reassurance, she felt unnecessary to say she will tear this dimension apart with her own hands if someone manages to take him away

“I can say with confidence that unfortunately, you're stuck with me too.”

Before, seeing her like this might have instilled fear in his heart, but now, he just met her with tired resignation. He knew she just being protective. He knew this was just who she was. But he couldn’t shake the feeling of having someone else’s blood on his hands…and it was a feeling he was all too familiar with.

He heaves out a weary sigh, black-taloned hands reaching up to gently grasp her own.

“….’M sorry, Cindy. You ain’t the first person who’s tried to protect me. And I…and I thought I should be able to take care of myself. Without having to rely on other people.”

His gaze softens. “Hey, you’re not losin’ me. Not now or ever.” At that, he cracks a small smile. “You’re stuck with me now.”

Prompts I really like

@infernal-feminae

If it had been someone else, they would've found themselves fingerless with an broken elbow to top it off, snapped bone stabbing through skin in the most unnatural angle possible. Yet Cindy only sighed as she leaned into the careful touch and closed her eyes as the ultimate sign of trust.

The light caress following the jagged line permanently marring her face brought forth the memories of gaining it and strangely only pride swelled in her at the reminder.

“You can ask about it if you would like” Cindy encouraged, cracking the other eye open to further sign she was alright about telling the story behind it

“I cannot heal it, but even if I could I wouldn't. It's a trophy. A reminder.” she found herself telling already; a trophy of how she halted an eldritch entity hellbent on destruction. A reminder that she was reborn that day the second time in her immortal life.

@infernal-feminae

She knew how to work with and around height, even when it came such drastic difference. Once balance was lost, there wasn't enough time to fight off the opponent and gravity. She made no other move after Erebus was successfully maneuvered to the floor, only glancing down with a faint grin.

A lazy cartwheel turned into a headstand pose her face lingering above his; a subtle flex of agility, balance with a hint of gymnastics talent.

“I was.”

This time was no denying the ever growing smirk, she stood effortlessly from the handstand.

“Not your fault my father instead of playing dressup with me carried me to a prison deep in the Soviet Union and allowed a convicted felon to teach me. Said convicted felon turned out to be more of a father figure aside from making me realize that all the fancy instructors only taught the basics.” Cindy shrugged lightly despite the heavy topic, retrieving her bottle of water and placing it on top of the tallest training dummy

“Watch.” she tossed over her shoulder

The woman was a blur, like gravity didn't apply to her as she scaled the easily two feet taller object, each spin with more force harnessed from momentum, the final kick sending the bottle slamming to the wall across the room. A quick high kick after she landed from such height; natural to redirect the remaining energy.

“His name was Yuri Boyka.” Cindy smiled fondly as if the previous display didn't occur a few seconds ago. “I haven't seen an another fighter-” she cut herself off with furrowed brows at the realization

“Actually I have. When I was checking out the local clubs, arenas. That woman, resembling to a dragon. Built like a tank but faster than a snake in oil. I think she's the one people call her ‘General’, but I highly doubt Hell offers martial arts training that level otherwise Heaven would've shat their robes long time ago.”

Erebus grunted when his back hit the floor, staring up at Cindy in a bit of shock and awe. Despite his job, he didn’t consider himself much of a fighter. Still, he had to admit he did want to see what Cindy was like in combat firsthand.

He was honestly surprised he managed to hold his own for as long as he did. Although he mostly fell back on his brute strength, while Cindy had more…finesse.

“…Maybe I should told ya to go a little easy on me before we started.” He joked.

@infernal-feminae

Tears at last began to pour at the gentle gesture and the hushed reassurance. She held probably one of the greatest forces in the Universe, yet she still remained incredibly damaged. Shattered.

“I do.” yet an another heavy secret, her only but worst failure

“I was- I was a few seconds late.” the gunshot still a deafening echo in her mind “and I watched life leaving my mother's eyes in my arms. I failed and I didn't have this fused with me to bring her back.” golden tears refused the laws gravity and began to slowly swirl in the air

“I cannot let it happen with you too.”

The world took and continued to take whatever it could get its claws on, her fears only heightening as she realized how deep her feelings are towards Erebus. And that it is probably, possibly mutual, if she wasn't too damaged to love.

“What” she swallowed, to grasp control of the tiny unstable galaxy formed from her -nonsense that she couldn't even cry without setting off a cosmic reaction- “What was that you first saw in me?”

“I can say with confidence that unfortunately, you’re stuck with me too.”

He was quiet for a moment, absorbing her words. Erebus had always known her life before becoming the entity she was today wasn’t all rainbows and sunshine. Just like his wasn’t either, but he just never truly fathomed the extent of what she suffered through.

“I had no idea…” He murmured, wrapping his free arm her and gently tugging her into his embrace. 

It honestly kind of funny how they came to be together. They’re opposites in most every way. He was quiet and reserved, and standoffish and she…wasn’t. But it was their shared love of music that brought them both together.

“I know, sweetheart. I know. You did the best you could. No one faults you for that.” He assured her, his hand sliding up to run through her fiery tresses.

He allows a smile to tug at his lips after hearing her echo what he said. “Then I guess we’re just stuck with each other now. Guess we’ll have to make the most of it.” He chuckles softly.
