Reborn as the villain's obsession [MM romance] Aiden Arc chapter 3: The second wedding
(April, Where Things Begin)Timeline: April, eight months after reunionThe second wedding was smaller.This was Aiden's preference, stated clearly from the beginning: "Not three hundred demon elders and the entire diplomatic corps. Just the people who matter."Cassian had agreed immediately, which Aiden suspected was partly because Cassian also preferred smaller and partly because after forty years of marriage and a hundred and seven years of waiting, the Demon Lord had developed a certain flexibility about the specifics as long as the essential thing happened.The essential thing was: them, married, official, again.Everything else was logistics.The guest list was eleven people.Kieran, who had known Cassian for two centuries and who wept during the ceremony with the composure of someone who had decided that this moment warranted emotion and was going to have it openly.Mira, who came with her notebook and then put it away because some things were better witnessed than documented,
Reborn as the villain's obsession [MM romance] Aiden Arc chapter 2 : Dating in the modern world
(What A 300-Year-Old Demon Learns)Timeline: Months 1-8 of second lifetimeThe first thing Cassian learned about dating in the modern world was that it involved a great deal of looking at small glowing rectangles."You're on your phone," he observed, on their second date."I'm texting Mira," Aiden said, not looking up. "She wants to know how it's going.""You're texting someone during our date.""It'll take thirty seconds." Aiden finished and put the phone face-down on the table. "Done. She says hi, by the way.""Tell her hi," Cassian said. "After the date."Aiden looked at him. "Is the Demon Lord annoyed about a thirty-second text message.""The Demon Lord," Cassian said, "is noting that in the previous lifetime you gave me your complete attention during meals and I find myself preferring that version.""In the previous lifetime we didn't have phones," Aiden said."Noted," Cassian said. "I prefer the previous lifetime's communication technology.""You have a phone," Aiden said."I ha
Reborn as the villain's obsession [MM romance] Aiden Arc chapter 1 : The proposal
(Second Lifetime — How Cassian Asked)Timeline: Eight months after reunionAiden was studying. Or attempting to study, which was what he called the activity of sitting at his desk with his urban history textbook open in front of him while actually thinking about Cassian, which was what he did approximately sixty percent of his waking hours and which he had stopped pretending otherwise about three months ago.The memories were mostly back now.Not perfectly linear — they had arrived in the specific order that the soul ranked things, which was not chronological but was nonetheless complete.He had woken up one night three months ago with Adrian's final morning completely present in him — not as a memory exactly, more as something that had always been there and had finally surfaced. The specific warmth of the room. Cassian's arm across his waist. The particular quality of that dawn.He had called Cassian at two in the morning.Cassian had answered immediately, which meant he hadn't been
Reborn as the villain's obsession [MM romance] what cassian never said : Cassian's pov
Cassian POV — From The Beginning I have lived for three hundred and twelve years. In that time, I have survived wars that leveled kingdoms. Betrayals that carved pieces from something I used to call a heart. Centuries of loneliness so complete it stopped feeling like loneliness and started feeling like weather — something that simply was, that had always been... I stopped feeling things deeply around year one hundred and forty-seven. I had experienced that devastation twice. I was not going to experience it a third time. So I built the Demon Lord. Not as a mask exactly — masks implied something underneath worth protecting. More as a replacement. The Demon Lord was cold, controlled, untouchable. He had no hope and therefore nothing to lose. He looked at everyone who tried to reach him and saw them clearly for what they were: people with agendas, wearing their sincerity like clothing. He was excellent protection. He was also, though I did not acknowledge this at the time,
Reborn as the villain's obsession [MM romance] Special chapter 15: The announcement
Timeline: Five years after weddingAdrian had been practicing the sentence for three days.Because he knew Cassian, he wanted to get this right.He had three versions.Version one: direct and immediate, the way he usually communicated, because Cassian responded well to directness and poorly to being managed.Version two: building up to it, providing context first, giving the information time to land in stages.Version three: showing rather than telling, which was what Aria had suggested when he'd mentioned it to her, because Aria's advice was usually the best advice even when it was also the most inconvenient advice.He was going with version three.Which was why, on a Tuesday morning, he asked Cassian to come to the orphanage with him.He had already been twice. The first time alone, which was when he'd seen them — Lyanna in the corner with her unread book, Kael in the middle of the room crying for his mother, both of them carrying the specific weight of loss that Adrian recognized b
Reborn as the villain's obsession [MM romance] Special chapter 14: The dance before
Timeline: Forty years after weddingTheir fortieth anniversary arrived on a Tuesday, which Adrian found amusing."Forty years," he said, at breakfast, which they still had together every morning, the ritual unchanged across four decades with only its speed modified — slower now, because mornings were slower, and neither of them found this worth noting."Forty years," Cassian said."Are you—" Adrian started."If you ask if I'm going to do something elaborate," Cassian said, "yes.""I wasn't going to ask—""You were.""I was curious what form elaborate was taking," Adrian said."Something private," Cassian said. "Just us. Tonight."Just us was, at sixty-three, the form most of the important things took. The children were grown and present in the ways they were present — Lyanna with her research, Kael with his work, both of them close without being constant, the family shape of people who had built their own lives inside the life they'd been given.The day passed ordinarily.Adrian was i

One week before the wedding, everything went wrong at once."The flowers died," Aria reported. "All of them. Magic blight.""The musicians canceled," Kieran added. "Apparently demons and humans have different musical scales and they can't agree on compromise.""Three nobles withdrew attendance," Ly

Word of their engagement spread faster than the reality-reset news."The Prince is marrying the Demon Lord!" became the new gossip sensation."At least they're talking about something positive," Aria observed as she helped Adrian look through ceremonial designs."Positive for some. Scandalous for o

The festival dissolved into chaos.Guards tried to restore order. Nobles demanded explanations. Demons and humans alike stared at Adrian and Cassian with mixture of awe and fear."We need to address them," Cassian said quietly. "Before panic spreads."Adrian nodded, still feeling the bond's residua

The Spring Festival dawned bright and beautiful—completely at odds with the tension Adrian felt."You're broadcasting anxiety," Cassian said gently, adjusting Adrian's formal robes. "Try to calm down. We can't tip Lucian off.""I know. I'm trying." Adrian took a breath. "What if the bond isn't stro
