hi, how are you? (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

so tho ive read in that little note thing(?) after the chapter one you said that the whole fic is plotted out and all.

is the whole fic, as in the events are plotted out or the writing too? are you planning on going w what u thought about in the start or make some changes inbetween too?

im literally so into this whole universe this is literally all i think about. and ive also read your taking a break note so please dont think its some kind of threat(😭) or like a pissy anon msg (⁠٥⁠↼⁠_⁠↼⁠).

i love ur works so very much and i appreciate you making this fic for us and yourself just as much. (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

take care girl, love you <3

hi, i'm good! hope you're doing well <3

i have a full 10 chapters written, and another 4 chapters fully planned out that just need to be written! all the major events are plotted out, chapters outlined. no going back after posting a chapter so there will be no editing of the posted chapters!

just taking my time planning and writing everything after chapter 10 bc it's supposed to be a total of 20 chaps approximately, there's so many factors i need to take into consideration as i write the future chapters bc all the dots need to connect beautifully 😭

the updates will be very regular (updating every two weeks) since i've already got 8 chapters in store and i plan to finish writing the series by june (i can't keep on writing forever it's been a year 😭) so no worries-- even if i can't finish by june, there will hopefully be no breaks in the posting schedule unless sth comes up (hopefully not).

ahahah 😭 i'm glad it's got you so invested, i hope it doesn't disappoint in the future! and and i hope it will not be too hard to keep track of things too, lmao. i'm doing a chapter recap with every update for that reason, also posting the character book and timeline soon so hopefully it's easy to keep track of the plot. you can always send an ask if you have questions about the series, i'm willing to answer everything as best as i can!

oh and by taking a break i meant like i'm not actually really writing like i used to. i think from 2021 i've always been in a constant state of writing fics-- even if i took a break, i was planning something or writing, posting a oneshot almost every month. but i've taken a good step back, just focusing on finishing this series at the pace that life allows me to with no pressure. not exactly a full break but it's enough hehe i'll take a full break when i retire 😤 (plus, i really want to finish writing this series soon so i can prepare some oneshots, i miss writing those!)

i'm so glad you're enjoying the series! i'm glad the overall response is positive too, and i hope it remains that way, since it's very plot-driven. thank you so much for sending this ask, you're so sweet <3 take care of yourself, love you too anon <33

@heroar - continued

MICHIRU FEELS ETERNALLY CURSED ———————— this height of hers had been more of a bane than a boon. she is a bit too aware of what the other might think; this isn’t her first rodeo of embarrassment. she bites her tongue and tries to keep up the smile if only to alleviate her emotions a bit.

thankfulness does come when the snacks are given. “ thank you, ” she replies. she digs into her wallet and hands over the exact amount of cash, but adds an extra 500 yen bill for gratitude reason. “ here. ”

      plum smiled as they petted their dog, wanting to give her as much positive attention as possible in the moment. looking back to their friend with a smile seeing as she pulled out her sketchbook to put down ideas of little outfits apricot could wear.

      ❝ apri you’re going to be a model! ❞

she nods before she goes on to scribble some designs; some more simple, some more detailed and some inbetween. “ THE CUTEST MODEL THERE IS, ” she says as she grabs other pencils.

“ I HAVEN’T BEEN SO INSPIRED SINCE A WHILE! ”

[elegiaques]

@siamxshade/akira ❝  i’d like to know where we are going ,  or is it a secret ?  ❞

SHE GENTLY HAS HER FINGERS INTERTWINED WITH HIS ———————— guiding him to a certain spot while akira’s just following her without knowing anything. the pinkette wished to keep the surprise party enough of a secret so she could see his shocked face at the revelation.

“ now, now, ” she says with the laughter audible in her voice. “ you know you can trust me, alright? ” if anything were to happen michiru would commit a slaughter; they’re both aware of this. “ allow your fantasies to run wild ... in a not scary way. believe me: once you find out you’ll love it. ”

[elegiaques]

@ensxrcelled/crystal"I want to enjoy life. Here and now. It doesn’t matter what happens next!"

FROM THE FEELING OF ENDLESSNESS THAT SUMMER GIVES TO THE FALL THAT SHOWS THINGS DECAY ———————— the reason she adores of it. to her it allows a respite of darker emotions. nothing is better than to hang around with friends while a scarf is wrapped around her neck and the lapel of her outfit.

“ what a lot of energy you got today, ” the former hunter responds with a laugh. a sip is taken from her coffee while she eyes crystal. “ the clock won’t turn an hour back for another sixteen days so the sun is still on our side... literally. ”

[elegiaques]

@ensxrcelled/crystal “Is this why you don’t want to let anyone close? You’re afraid they’ll see you like some kind of monster?”

SHE FEELS POUNDINGS IN HER HEAD ———————— heartache is along for the ride. she tries to remain conscious while being dragged to somewhere by crystal. her sight is blurry, but she couldn’t tell if it were her feeling sleepy or the tears forming slowly around the brim.

“ ... partially... ” it is easy to hide her powers. as long as she kept silence no one call her a freak. as long as her mouth is shut no one would come to know who she really is. and even if she remains within herself something horrible happens. everyone she attracts, whether platonically or romantic, will leave and the time is ticking. “ i wish it was only that. ”

[elegiaques]

@phntmhrts/minato pull & touch

IN THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF BUSY CITIES IT IS EASY TO GET PUSHED AROUND ———————— being ‘fun-sized’ doesn’t help much. she’s getting a bit disoriented by the amount of times she has gone left and right. vaguely, almost transparent, there are swirls visible within her eyes.

one final pull is what needed to stop it all. familiar arm engulfs her side and the shock goes away. the hand intertwining becomes something mutual and carefully a smile grows. michiru leans against minato.

he struts with such confidence that no obstacles are in their path anymore. she lets out a breath, but one of respite.

[elegiaques]

@wiitchtime “You’re not what they say you are.”

IF ONE IGNORES THE BITS AND PIECES OF ANGELS THAT ARE NOW STREWN ABOUT ———————— michiru would have called the sight beautiful. i wish this wasn’t my first time here, she thought as she steps away from the blood that leaks a bit from the face-carrying sword.

her lips tremble slightly. the pinkette attempts to remain calm. yet when she looks over to who helped her she’s sure her tears are visible. “ i know, but- ” her hands form into a ball. her sigh is hitched by a sob held back. “ i’m so tired of those above me telling me what i am over and over. ”

[elegiaques]

@woerended - continues from here

SLIGHT, NERVOUS LAUGHTER ———————— hands, those who are right now behind her back, are fiddling with each other. “ i thought i saw something purple that had to be red, but it must have been the light, “ michiru responds. the scarlet shade would now colour her own cheeks.

[elegiaques]

@miranyutu ‘  do  we  simply  stare  at  what’s  horrible  and  forgive  it ?  ’

THIS SHE HAS ACCEPTED A LONG TIME AGO ——————— that sometimes even good people do horrid things. maybe this is why she could look at this and not be in tears. she feels ... numb. all she could do was sigh and shake her head.

“ that is up to one to decide, ” she could only reply as she put a hand upon her cheek, “ because sometimes it is a necessary evil or the one who did it regrets what they’ve done. ”

[elegiaques]

@hisalmighty " sorry, i'm lost, could... could you help me? "

CLEAR SKIES WHILE STILL CARRYING WINTRY COLD ———————— ah. how she adores winter for the cosiness it brings. she would haunt the streets, watching people pass by and listening to muffled songs of the various stores littering tokyo.

peace does not last forever when it came to her. of course a huge, invisible mark is put upon her that let random people meet her. it does not matter; a smile is given. he must be from a smaller place, she thinks to herself.

“ but of course, ” michiru replies with a nod. “ where do you need to go? ”

[elegiaques]

SHE SIGHS HAPPILY ———————— the christmas party has gone well, leftovers were given to the guests and her apartment is now clean. it’ll be a few days rest until the new year would arrive. luckily she’ll celebrate that outside with some of her friends she knows since high school. “ haaa.... ” a smile comes on her face. “ life’s good. ”

[elegiaques]

@miranyutu 💭

MICHIRU STANDS IN FRONT OF A BOX ———————— from it she grabs a big roll of velvet material. hmmmm, she thinks to herself, this colour wouldn’t fit me ... but it’d be perfect for nariko. perhaps a christmas present? it is approaching soon; then can i start today already.

[elegiaques]

@phntmhrts/minato “This is our secret.”

THE ADVENTURE NEVER STOPS ———————— it merely opens up another chapter. it doesn’t have to be grand; today they had invented a dish that doesn’t sound good on paper, but nearly made her moan out of joy when the flavour meets her tongue. “ this is so good! ” she says while giving a firm nod.

a grin comes on her face at the suggestion of keeping it a secret. “ definitely! i would love to see everyone guess what we put in it each time while not saying a thing. it’ll only make this taste better! ”

[elegiaques]

@phntmhrts/akira “I’ll take it to the grave.”

SOMETIMES DEATH DOESN’T COME FOR HER ———————— sometimes it comes with its near variant. michiru is stunned that someone had the gall to reveal such an embarrassing fact about her. and that near her friend too! naturally she deals quickly with it; she hopes that the redness in the form of a palm will stay for a few days.

she takes a deep breath in and a aggravated one out. then she turns towards akira with her pointing finger jutted out towards his direction. he at the same time raises both his arms up.

“ you better do! ”

[elegiaques]

@siamxshade/akira “I miss the babies a lot.”

FOR A MONTH AKIRA IS IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY ———————— the closest michiru has felt his touch is via the ink of the paper containing his reports. she feels herself yearning a bit when he appears on the screen of her laptop.

her smile is vague and her eyes a bit distant. it is difficult to not be able to hold his hands. it is only another two weeks left before he’d return to her side, but still ... “ they miss you too. ” the girls had acted a bit rowdier before their energy was diminished enough so she could lay them properly in bed. miu, greatly resembling her husband, had particularly puffed her cheeks at such young age already.

“ ... just as i. ”
