A/N: from ancient dynasties all the way to the roaring twenties—as of late, i've been obsessed with reading and writing historical AUs, and i'm not very sure i'll be any different as the years go by. i have so many ideas to be written, and plenty to be read, so why not compile them all into one list? men of the modern world are all assholes; historical men just do it better.

𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗘 — Roman Empire ↳ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐈, 𝐕𝐈𝐃𝐈, 𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐈 ♛
SYN: abandoned as a mere newborn, you were taken in by none other than the emperor and his wife, who failed to have any real children of their own. you were treated as a princess, given a life full of prosperities, so it was only fair you got to attend gladiator matches, too, right? well . . . , you might want to rethink that when a notorious competitor, Ryomen Sukuna, wins a match during his zenith, and is granted whatever prize it is he pleases—also know as . . . you, a woman he's grown enamored by after catching your eye in the stands.

𝗗𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗦 — Medieval Period ↳ 𝐓𝐄𝐄𝐓𝐇 ❦
SYN: your village considers you an anomaly: one who has been born with something called cursed energy; when you turn eighteen, they decide to sacrifice you to the beast whose manor overshadows your village. fortunately for you, the strangely generous vampire spares your life, and, in lieu: takes you in as a lawful servant. for years, you live well-off with his lordship, until one day, he falls ill—in need of . . . blood.

SYN: the term jester's privilege refers to the particular entertainers' ability to do just about anything. from mocking peasants to pranking kings, their humor knows no bounds. the deviants are praised for their wit and cunningness, and seen as nothing short of crucial to the liveliness of kingdoms. jesters can do many things, jesters can be many things. now, as for what jesters cannot do? little to no people would know, but if thou were to ask Gojo? he would dare thee to fall in love with a lady of the royal court, one he had sworn to hate.

SYN: when it's the 1800s, nothing is more important than attending balls in search of finding the love of your life. when your aunt and cousins convince (force) you to converse with people you've never met, you find yourself becoming acquaintances with a rather disagreeable man—whose scowl catches your eye, but countenance you deem tempting. he is everything you hate in a gentleman—incredibly bothersome, but he is everything you find bewitching in a bastard.

SYN: save a horse, ride a cowboy? you've heard that phrase a-many of times before, seeing as you have lived in the Wild West your whole life; but, only now are you actually giving it a go after crossing paths with a particularly handsome cowboy at your uncle's saloon: the House of the Rising Sun. between your little . . . affair, you get caught in the crossfire of your lover, and another man who wants him dead. just how good are you at patching up a gun wound, is the question.

SYN: the town of Bromwell, Alabama is dusty, dry, and dirty; the residents know nothing other than to "live by God, and by God, they shall live." on a Sunday Service morning, you accompany your father like always, and meet a pink-haired boy who's recently moved in to town. you become friends, grow up together, share your first kiss with each other; but, little did you know, that, hanging out so much with an atheist would have such an effect on your life, your faith, and your relations.

letting their chatty partner ramble about their day, listening with a small smile
sunshine toppling over them with the biggest hug they could muster and grump just giving them tiny little pats to reciprocate
grumpy going out of their comfort zone to cheer up their sunshine who's having a bad day
^ "look, i made pancakes! i even made a smiley face out of the whipped cream, see?" "oh, that's what it's supposed to be? you're so cute.."
grumpy calling sunshine names (dummy, idiot, chatterbox) knowing they take no offense to them, but the moment someone else does, they snap
"are you always this happy?" "i try to be, but especially when i'm with you."
sunshine knowing when it's okay to push but never crosses a line when it comes to grumpy's boundaries
sunshine comforting the grump when they're a little more quiet and snappy than usual, leaving grump a flustered mess because they're used to people actually listening when they tell them to leave them alone
"i'm not leaving you like this, i care about you."
sunshine taking grumpy on more active dates than they're used to (like ice skating for example)
[while cloudgazing] "i see a duckling!" "literally how."
sunshine making lunch for grumpy in the cutest way possible (little notes, heart-shaped sandwiches, always adding their fave snack)
getting into arguments about how nice sunshine can be and where it gets out of hand
^ "i was just trying to be nice!" "they were clearly taking advantage of that!" "since when do you care so much?" "i'm trying to look out for you!"
grumpy letting sunshine play with/do their hair
when laundry piles up and grumpy has no choice but to borrow one of sunshine's colorful little sweaters
^ and of course, sunshine coos and smothers them all day over it
"i love you." "i know." "say it back!"

"YOU'RE IT FOR ME."
— KOZUME KENMA.
p.s. the Yukimi mentioned here is a character from one of my fics in ao3 + I would see Kenma as the type of person who have doubts and insecurities at the beginning of a relationship and his s/o will be the one who would constantly remind him that he's it for them, that choosing him will always be worth it.
He was baffled by how intense her eyes looked under the streetlight, their chocolate sheen glistening with determination and melancholy that sent a wave of guilt through him. He had every right to feel this way because he was never exposed to the feeling of having someone show their romantic intentions to him. Everything he knew about showing affection to a significant other was always witnessed by the sidelines. It was all so new to him that he found himself scrunching his face in disbelief. Because how can such a magnificent girl love him?
He doesn't deserve this.
Gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, Kenma looked up to meet her gaze with a glare. "I don't understand why you like me so much. I'm this unfit and unhealthy guy in Nekoma, surviving his last year there as a wallflower. I'm short and I'm not the most flashy guy out there. In fact, some people from other schools talk about me being limp and unsteady from the way I just stand still when I'm in court in practice matches. I've been a shell of a person when Kuroo and Yukimi-san went away for university because I don't have anybody I really considered to be my friends, unlike the way they warmed my heart. I don't deserve your love.
"I'm so sorry for telling you this when we started our relationship and I deeply apologize if i sound insensitive—"
"Kenma."
His heart jolted as the syllables of his name were uttered with utmost care and adoration. His golden eyes lifted from the ground and met with hers, which looked so serene for someone who was just told that she deserves someone better.
"When you start talking like that, it made me want to tell you the many things I love about you," she chuckled.
"I love your hair. I know you sometimes express your hate for it because someone mentions that you look more feminine with it, but I will always find comfort in running my fingers through those blonde locks and I love the way you would relax when I do that. I love your calculating eyes, those golden hues that seem to pop and shine when you're out on court and when you would successfully execute an amazing play all on your own. I love your soft and soothing voice. Though Yamamoto-senpai always told you to raise your voice more often, I'd rather you keep talking in your usual timbre because it screams how delicate you are. I love your hands, Kenma. Being a volleyball player means that one should have callous fingers from the rigorous training you experience but I will always admire how yours stay lovely like a pianist. I love the spark in your stoic face when I would wear your old jacket in games, it makes me happy to know that you like it. Above all, I love your brilliant mind and how it analyzes every single move and mannerism a person has.
"Thanks to Yukimi-senpai begging me to be the club's manager, I managed to meet you and get to know you better — what makes you smile, what makes you disappointed, what makes you tick. I will always be grateful for her because if she didn't approach me that day, I would never have met a rare gem such as you.
"As for the people who talked about how unsteady and unflashy you are, I don't believe them. Because the Kenma I know is so much more than what they believed. No matter what they say, I will always believe and support you, even in your bad times — I will always be there to cheer you up unknowingly that you will be caught off guard. If you feel down about yourself, I will be the one responsible for lifting your spirits up so that you wouldn't drown.
"You will always be the one I've fallen for. Nothing and nobody can change that. Who cares what they say anyway? I got Nekoma's brain and I'm proud of you so much that I want to announce it to the world.
"You're it for me, Kenma, and it was like fate worked so hard for us to meet. And when the day comes when the flowers wither, just remember that my heart will always be yours."
Kenma gaped at her with unshed tears, her declaration rendering him speechless. He looked on the ground as he tried to swallow down his sob, cursing at the ponytail for revealing his teary face. "Why do you keep saying things that make me fall deeper for you. Just the way you look at me right now, why does it feel like I have the entire world?"
She smiled and it made her look pulchritudinous, Kenma thought. Opening her eyes, Kenma's heart ached with a vast amount of emotions. "That's because you are my world, Kenma, and I would give you anything to make you happy."
Kenma felt a tear slip from his eye, his gaze locking with her teary ones. "And you are mine, too, [Name]."
happy birthday to the grandest king, you really showed up with the 'rule the court' banner behind you. here's to you being the very first character in haikyuu to capture my heart 💙
drei???? i’m in LOVE WITH YOUR DRAWINGS DJFJDJCISISJS
