Jae Probably Got What Little Lore She Knows Wrong - Tumblr Posts

Anyone who’s perused my blog will know that I have very simple tastes, and that’s pretty gorgeous men and ABO dynamics. 

Now, I know next to nothing about Onmyoji, but I know a little something about the Douji duo, and there’s no way I can just let them be; so, imagine with me an omega!Ibaraki as the de facto Queen of the Demons. 

He and alpha!Shuten aren’t married, but since they’re often seen in each other’s company, and the ancient world can’t imagine an alpha-omega pair that spends that much time together and aren’t also married, everyone just kinda assumes they are. Shuten will protest when he’s asked, esp. when he’s flirting with other pretty things, but no one really believes him. His actions don’t match his words. (Some will whisper words of pity for Ibaraki when the Demon King has his back turned.) Ibaraki himself insists he’s simply his righthand man and best friend, but there’s a fine—and I mean really fine—line between queen and righthand in his case. 

A child between ShuIba is probably raised solely by their mother, while their father is off gallivanting and terrorizing the country of Japan. If he does bother to show his face, Shuten acts more like a friend of the family—happy to play around with them but not too keen on doing the hard stuff. “That’s an omega’s job,” he says, and Ibaraki isn’t going to correct him. If anything, he probably believes that, too, and imagines his unofficial husband has better things to do. (A progressive Ibaraki might chalk it up to Shuten’s declining dignity and increased drunken stupors post-resurrection; he doesn’t know what he’s saying.) 

Mt. Oe is in the de facto queen’s care following Shuten’s return to the living and subsequent neglect of the land. When he’s not chasing down his drunken, lecherous friend, he’s listening to the complaints and worries of the local spirits and resolving pressing matters. Honestly, Shuten probably didn’t have a knack for administrative work to begin with and just ran everything over with his brute strength, leaving Ibaraki to handle things with more finesse; so, it’s not like he hasn’t done this song and dance a thousand times before. He just wishes Shuten were half the king he used to be to make the maintenance worth it.
