【KagePro】 KuroEne AU: Kuroha uses Awakening Eyes to make Ene’s body 🖤💙

Summary:

Kuroha uses Awakening Eyes to make Ene's android body by temporarily turning into her, and keeps regenerating until he has all the parts he needs to make her body

KuroEne Route Setups: The nature of KuroEne's relationship (ie. Lovers -> Enemies, Enemies and Lovers) changes depending on Saeru's actions

KuroEne AU: Saeru tells Ene about his Awakening Eyes and mentions the legend of the Medusa to her (but without revealing too much)

Ene reacts to Saeru's hair down (without the ponytail)

Ene plays with Saeru's hair and his snakes

Intro

The idea I came up with Feila before back in September 2024 is that if Kuroha/Saeru can use Konoha's Eye Ability, Awakening Eyes, to rebuild the body molecule by molecule, according to the Novel Route, then he should be able to temporarily turn into Ene and get all the parts he needs to build Ene's android body that way.

If Awakening Eyes can remake the owner's body into ANYTHING, then he should be able to turn into Ene and shed off self-healing human skin.

I cherish this AU very much... It's so interesting to me.

I work hard for my rare pairs to create interesting AUs for them 🙏

I imagine that in the first KuroEne AU Route, Saeru made artificial self-healing human skin for Ene's android body. This is based on IRL scientists' advancements for robots with self-healing artificial skin that can react to temperature, pressure, and certain chemicals.

Feila and I based some of Saeru's advancements for Ene's body on some advancements that IRL scientists have made with robots (ie. robot fish that can work up to 36 hours for artificial blood).

I feel like hair cloning can be achieved in a lab.

I was curious to see if I could use anything for my KuroEne AU. I was inspired by the idea of a snake shedding its skin...

So he sheds off a few cells off himself that can multiply and then stores it for use in his lab. And then he sheds it off himself, and constantly keeps regenerating until he gets all the parts he needs.

Cuz of Awakening Eyes' extreme regenerative properties.

But in all Routes after the first few, he uses Awakening Eyes to create the outer parts of her body. It makes creating her body 100000x easier.

And then the mf throws his (originally Haruka/Konoha's body's) own skin cells into the mix when creating Ene's body.

The fact that he used apart of himself for her body is like the ultimate declaration of “love” (twisted obsession) and devotion in this guy’s twisted eyes.

The culmination/fruits of his efforts have finally paid off!

In the context of the KuroEne AU, Ene's body is his greatest creation.

Kuroha/Saeru having a twisted obsession for his S/O just seems the most fitting for his character.

So... no wonder this guy is obsessed. Dude's twisted obsession causes him to create a perfect replica of Ene.

I honestly love the Mad Scientist vibes going on here.

Quoting these old rambles.

Kuroha/Saeru is so fucked up but that makes him interesting so I say let him be. He's so fun to write for 👍

Awakening Eyes allows the owner of the body to make it into their "ideal body" and make it whatever they want. So he can do this, replicate it, and keep regenerating himself. And knowing this mf, he'd shed off his own skin from his body too to use as part of Ene's android body.

Feila and I came up with the idea that Kuroha could just use Konoha's Eye Ability Awakening Eyes to temporarily turn into Ene, then make it so that his body can shed off self healing skin (and any parts he needs). Then it makes making her android body infinitely easier cuz he'd have all the parts needed to make her body.

Kuroha: You were made from me, and the unison of our parts, therefore we are one ❤️

KuroEne Route Setups

Multiple outcomes that can happen in a KuroEne Route. I feel like they tend to have this common starting point or setup. Also there are some deviations depending on when Saeru decides to reveal certain information (his true name)

Kuroha possesses Konoha before he gets the chance to meet the MekaDan. Kuroha meets Ene and just decides to "play the game" alone with her (Kuroha can choose to reveal the name "Saeru" later as long as Ene doesn't meet the MekaDan until the final August 15th, since he can use the Medusa legend to justify his existence as a "snake-related human" to Ene)

Kuroha meets Ene and pretends to join the Mekakushi Dan (keeping his true name and identity hidden), and betrays everyone on August 15th. KuroEne's relationship is Lovers to Enemies due to Saeru's betrayal.

Kuroha lets Konoha and Ene meet and develop a friendship and/or relationship, but then he possesses Konoha at some point, and Ene perceives him as the "evil snake" that stole Konoha's body. KuroEne's relationship is Enemies and Lovers.

So, in most Routes in KagePro canon, Saeru possesses Kenjirou (Ayano’s dad) first to manipulate people to get access to funding and resources, and then he jumps to possess Konoha on August 15th

But in my KuroEne AU, I have Saeru drop Kenjirou's body much earlier so that he can meet with Ene as "Black Konoha" (Kuroha), so they spend anywhere from 1 - 2 years together.

And then there’s Kuroha/Saeru's uncanny resemblance to her loved one (Haruka) by possessing Konoha’s body.

In the first KuroEne AU Route, I imagine he introduces himself to her as “Black Konoha,” but Ene decides to shorten the name Black Konoha (Kuro Konoha) to “Kuroha” instead.

So every Route after that, he decides what information he wants to drop and at what time.

He also proceeds to use the nickname that Ene gave him in previous timelines, when he first introduces himself in new Routes when he meets her for the first time, in all subsequent Routes.

So, there’s the KuroEne Routes where Saeru possesses Konoha before he can meet Ene.

Saeru introduces himself as Kuroha and then reveals the name Saeru later once they’ve built more of a connection each other (which works just fine, as long as it’s a Route where they don’t meet with the rest of the MekaDan until August 15th)

Quoting from my notes

Ene: Snake... human? Such a thing like that exists!?

Kuroha: Well... Tales about the legend of the Medusa persist even to this day... But it's not very widely known among humans.

Ene: (I guess it's not completely out of the realm of possibility… I have these red eyes after all.)

Ene: Your red eyes allow you to change your body?

Ene: Even after you've shown me, I'm still shocked!!! That's some incredible power…!

Saeru reveals his true identity but Ene doesn't meet the rest of the MekaDan so it's ok for him to reveal.

Like I can imagine Saeru showing her something simple, like changing his tongue into a forked snake tongue, growing snake scales on his limbs, or changing his appearance into the MR2 form

I imagine that Saeru eventually tells Ene about him being related to snakes in some way and having an Eye Ability that allows him to change his body (but doesn’t mention Azami, his old Master, by name), an explanation that Ene accepts since she also has this mysterious Eye Ability too.

And Ene is wow'ed by Saeru's usage of Awakening Eyes since he can even change his body with it.

F: He would tell her about the snakes but would anon-ify (if that's even a word) Azami as best as he can.

Me: Yeahhh I agree with this too. He'd keep his master's identity a secret

Or there are Routes where he reveals his identity as Snake of Clearing Eyes (Me ga Saeru Hebi) right from the get go (which would make things much more hostile and tense between them, especially if it’s a situation where Ene was friends or in a relationship with Konoha, and Saeru just stole/possessed his body.)

So then Ene perceives him as the evil snake/monster that stole Konoha’s body.

Ene plays with Saeru's hair and his snakes

Me: OH I forgot to mention this but lately I've been tempted to draw Kuroha/Saeru with his hair down. Like his usual Black Konoha form, but without the ponytail.

Cuz I realize I haven't drawn that yet.

I feel like Saeru with his hair down would have messy hair, around shoulder length <3

And I'm also gonna doodle some JdAl stuff hopefully soon. I said I was gonna draw but I was just chilling these past few days. I'll get into a drawing mood sometime this week...

F: DO ITTTT. HE WOULD LOOK SO GOOD WITH THIS HAIR DOWN UGHHH

Me: Something inspired by this <3

I also want to draw Judar with his hair down at some point like JESUS my cat sons look so good with their hair down. It's in my drawing to-do list.

F: Ugh he's such a sexy man

Me: RIGHT he looks so good with his hair down... Augh...

Me: I thought of how cute it'd be if she plays with his hair and runs her hands through his hair while his hair is down and if she puts his hair into little twintails

I can imagine Ene going like ("Looks like he's just gotten up… He looks cute with bedhead……")

F: Kuroha probably lets his hair down then sleeping (he isn't obligated to sleep, but let me dream)

Me: Ene ties his hair into small twintails... And then his snakes that are curled around him go like 💖✨

The idea of Ene playing with his little snakes is cute honestly

F: > I thought of how cute it'd be if she plays with his hair

Braid it and suddenly he's Saeru 💥

Me: Technically both forms are Black Konoha / Saeru but I get what you mean.

The MR2 (Manga Route 2) version has the scorpion tail looking braids in the back

F: Wondering how many times they've bonded with each other to the point that Saeru's little snakes have registered Ene as a "2nd owner" because Kuroha's scent is all over her

Me: HWHDHSHDSHS. God that's so cute...

Ok, so snakes flick their tongues to collect chemicals in the air and pick up the scents of prey.

Reminds me of that KuroEne idea I had before where Saeru's snakes flick their tongues and wrap around and curl around Ene's sleeves out of curiosity.

They also do this to ground themselves around their owners for a sense of security (wrapping themselves around their owners)

And it's because Kuroha/Saeru's scent is all over her.

And Saeru goes like, "They're curious about you... It’s because my scent is all over you."

And Ene reacts like this.

Also he has a heightened sense of smell due to being a snake, and can also rebuild his body with Awakening Eyes to have improved senses (like a snake) for his human body, so he'd definitely be aware of it and be so smug about that fact

Yeah like I love imagining Saeru lying in bed next to Ene watching Ene "sleep" with having the android body go into sleep/hibernate mode...

Me: Observing how serene her face looks. I do imagine he watches her for a while

Eepy bunny gf going snork mimimimi 💤😴

F: I just imagine them cuddling. Big spoon Kuroha :3

Friday Someday Kiss Tag

Tagged here by @clearcloudlesssky- Thanks, and sorry it's taken me so long to get round to this. I'm terrible at writing kisses, so I tend to avoid them!! Passing the tag onto @queen-tashie @sarahlizziewrites @pure-solomon @at-thezenith @akiwitch @spideronthesun + open tag (no pressure as always :) ) A small snip from Blood Covenant that's being edited, in which Mavis gets to meet a queen of Hell.

Lady Elise, crowned with bones and Hellfire, kept my face cupped in his hands. The long sleeves of her black and gold dress touched the floor, soaking up the spilled blood.   A train hung from her back, trailed down from the portal, cascading behind her like a pair of leather wings.  “Little one,” she addressed me as soon as Arnauld finished speaking. “You carry a great burden within you. You have been broken, but not beyond repair. You have been abandoned, but found once more. You burn with a righteous anger, but you have to make sure that you yourself do not get burned up. You are not a phoenix; you will not return from the ashes. I offer you my blessing, as a Queen of Hell. What will you do with my blessing?”  “Save my brother,” my voice caught in my throat, and I struggled to speak.  “And? What do you really want?”  “I want to make them pay,” my voice hitched and a sob bubbled out. “I want to hurt them as much as they hurt me.”  “I understand how you feel. What was done to you, was also done to me,” Lady Elise pulled me into her embrace, and I let myself be folded into her blood-soaked sleeves. “Let your fire rage outwards, destroying everything in its path. May it cleanse you, and afford you a rebirth like a forest after a wildfire.”  She released me from her hold, and I sank to my knees, her embrace no longer holding me up.  “I give you to, my blessing,” she leant forward, kissing me on the forehead, before resting her palm on the top of my head like a benediction.

Y’all are being subjected to my Sims 2 tests, so there

The other set of Vargases came over for a visit and Scriabin picked up Shmee and started talking to Scriabin through him. Very normal, very usual

I downloaded some circle-glasses recolours and hghghh they look so good! Closer every day to his final details! Getting ever closer!

Edgar too! I made him a custom hair with a lighter undercut - I’m mostly happy with it, probably could’ve shifted it a shade closer to his skintone but the texturing was weird no matter what :P And his stripey shirt! I wish Body Shop didn’t have that hands-on-hips pose lol, it looks so much better in-game, but that’s all the better :)

I got some new clothes for Todd as well! As soon as I saw this ‘fit I was like “Oh that’s 100% Todd there he is.” Scriadad hug ♥ So cute

Foot-dancing together stopp it’s so cute!!

The way he looks at them stoppp <3 <3 They kept doing this right up til they left for home haha, Todd’s giggles are the cutest

Used SimPE to save him to the Body Shop, I now have infinite copies of The Boyyyy ♪

Moved him in with his “parents” as just shadow people basically, they’re not gonna matter in a bit as long as I remember how to get the Social Worker/Adoption process to work properly. Get her Todd!!

Wanna play? :D

Menacing :(

Look, Todd, your new dads are here! Initially I wasn’t sure who I wanted to adopt him, got lots of options; the first passes, the married couple with their own Todd, Johnny?? He definitely doesn’t have the facilities for a child lol But these are the ones that showed up on their own, so the married Vargases are the winners!

Scriabin cares more about him than his actual parents ;; A stranger off the street shows him more care! Not that it’s a high watermark

Look at him being a good dad!

Weh, he just wants friends ;; Poor baby

Best timeline, thank you

While we wait for CPS, let’s get some other interactions in! Nny is mean so he tended to prank the other two with a nose flick - mostly Edgar lol ♪ Now kiss

“Oh please don’t break all my bones~ :3” I love Todd looking up at them haha <3

Pffft, I think he was talking about the other Scriabin and just how attractive he is. Classic Scriabin. Alternatively, also funny to imagine him bragging himself up about how he’s just so handsome that Edgar can’t help but love him hahaha ♪

Allow me to tickle you with my KNIFE! >:D

Get a load of this guy lol

He ended up passing out at one point - I forgot which motives make CPS show up >.> - and completely 0%’d his comfort, but for some reason stargazing increased it?? It’s the same ground wh

Is two not enough to satisfy your butterfly bloodlust child?? He ended up with three, I had him release them before he was picked up by the Social Worker - success!

He rolled a new Want as soon as Todd was taken away - “Wants to see Ghost of Todd” Woah, dark! :0

And here he is on the married Vargases’ lot!! Success!! I did it right!! Heck yeah! :D Unfortunately they were uh, indisposed at the time. Good job guys pft

Goes right for Shmee, he really is Todd <3

[woozi]

hello caratblr; long time no see! <33 just taking my chance to ask if anyone wants to be part of svtgifsets/svteditors? 🥺

[bliamapriori]

December ended up being a super big month for me and I was unable to post anything for Lexember as it was happening, but I'm going to spend my January catching up or so help me.

[mcytblr-archive]

You should archive a lot of the early dsmp analysts. Meta was a big part of the dsmp. Like cupsmp, daggryet, tobi-smp, snailsnfriends, firesnap, inniter, etc.

speak of the devil-- i just answered one of firesnap's asks! and yeah, i initially wasn't focusing as much on the DSMP, but it's becoming increasingly clear to me that it would be genuinely impossible to archive MCYTblr without also archiving the DSMP!

Looks Like I've Got No Choice...

I neglected my main blog queue for too long, so I'm gonna let some of it bleed over here, to make the rest of it easier to manage.

That means I'm gonna be reblogging most of my fandom backlog here.

If you're only here for original content, then you can block the "not mine" tag. Otherwise, my queues typically run for 50 posts a day. It won't be so bad since they're spaced out across a 6-hour period, but if you're not used to that kind of mass posting, you might wanna mute me for a bit. I'll come back with the post total later.

Pride month pfp (5 days before pride month ends)

This one uses some doodles that I made a bit ago with some kinda funky effects applied to them (except for the one face-down on the floor that was left unchanged)

I drew a wavy trans flag as the background.

I rotated the trans flag, and then had the idea of transparent rainbow-colored paper cats over the middle one.

Then I realized that the effect should be on the falling ones, so I moved from paint.net to Gimp for convenience and then applied it to them

Then on the top right and bottom left paper cats I made their outline, eyes, and nose white, changed their color to the same grey rather than darker greys and lighter greys, and then in the blue and white parts of the trans flag I changed it from semi-transparent to opaque. I actually used the same grey that's used in the music video for the song Lagtrain. This all had nothing to do with pride month, I just like the song and wanted to reference it.

It worked out, because I think it looks pretty cool and also makes them distinct from the middle and rainbow ones.

[mysecretwindowuniverse]

I won't go into details, but to give a brief summary of what my June was like:

Genuinely one of the worst months I've had in recent memory

Mercifully, July has been kinder thus far - here's hoping the horrors of June remain trapped in that cursed fucking month🤞🏻

OK!

Let's try this again: While I've been absent (again), I've continued to add to the fanworks backlog previously mentioned, and I'm still just as excited to share as I was before - albeit a bit more exhausted and most definitely more unhinged, lol

The ten year anniversary(!!!) of the pilot is coming up this September, and you can bet I've been brainstorming all sorts of ways to celebrate such a milestone! I'm not going to think about the fact that it's been ten goddamn years, because if I do I'll sprout another grey hair after I just found a new one last night and nope nope nope

Going forward things should (hopefully) return to normal on this blog. And if it doesn't, that high-pitched screeching you hear in the woods is coming from me, no need to be alarmed

Guess who's back like a bad habit?

Happy to be back Gotham Fandom! Apologies for the unexpected hiatus, but going forward things should return to normal on this blog.

I've got a whole backlog of content I've been working on while I was away that I can't wait to share with you all!

[mysteryshoptls]

Break Time

Hello, all, due to IRL constraints, I'll be on break March 24th - April 13th. (Man, I wish I could say this is the last break I'm taking in the coming months, but that's unlikely...) Since I have a bit of a backlog of requests, I worked through a few things over the weekend and will queue what I've done to go up while I'm gone until they run out. Anything new that appears in my inbox during that time period will not be gotten to until I return. See you in a couple weeks!

[kabr0ztrousers]

hiya it's🦋anon again can I request a fem reader x male vampire, while reader and the vampire have sex he ends up putting his fangs in her neck and he turns her into a vampire.

Today's been busy again so I'm letting this one jump the queue a little because it's a little shorter. After this I've still got about a week's backlog so if you've asked for anything please don't feel put out, it's coming (pun intended(yes even you, Clown Fucker))

Kabr0z Writes episode 40: Sanguinare Vampiris

Also entitled: You have contracted Hemolytic Porphyria

Find the rest of the Kabr0z Writes anthology here!

CWs: death (kinda); blood play; vampires; blood mention; this list expands if you're familiar with Vampire: the Masquerade to include ghoulification; intox; loss of agency/control; possessive/obsessive relationships;

A/N: I am again reminding you all, you can submit any requests, ideas, verbal abuse, et cetera in my asks and DMs, it will most likely get written.

Even that thing you're thinking of.

Especially that.

###################################

Winter time was a blessing. The sun setting so soon meant your lover was able to come around sooner, and didn't have to wake you in the small hours of the morning to escape the scorching rays. In summer you had to go to his Haven, waiting for dusk before he'd wake up, normally in the small hours in the morning, and only until dawn.

A knock came on your door. He couldn't enter without permission, apparently something to do with the specific kind of vampire he is? He was always pretty vague about it, apparently the less you knew the safer you were. Vampire society seemed pretty cutthroat, you weren't sure you wanted to know more about it.

You answered the door. Nobody was there, but you knew better "come in, then" you said to the empty street

He didn't appear, exactly, you more just realised he was stood there. The deep kiss drawing snapping his illusion as he pressed his body to yours, closing the door behind him.

He was cold, almost clammy, he could mimic being alive if he wanted to, the warmth, the breathing, the heartbeat, but it drained him when he did, so you didn't want him exerting himself if he didn't need to. You were with him because you liked him, not just for the sex. Although, the sex was damn good.

He smiled at you "You eaten yet?"

You shook your head and he pulled out his phone, dialling up a takeout "I'll get you something, my treat"

He ordered a Chinese, and you watched a movie as you ate, him just watching. Vampires can't stomach actual food. He tried when you were first dating, but it didn't stay down and wasn't pretty when it came back up.

So your night together drew on, him asking about your day, your work, your friends, then hanging on every word as you told him.

Being an immortal member of the living dead must get lonely.

The film wasn't very good, some action flick without any real plot or substance. You found yourself staring at him as he absentmindedly watched. He dressed casually, a button down and jeans, a nice watch, a pair of practical boots left by your door. He only became a vampire in the 90's, and he's looked like a 20-something ever since. It made it easier for you to explain to your friends, and the age gap didn't really bother you, even though he was turned before you were even born.

He noticed you watching him, eyeing his sharp jawline, his mouth twisted to a smile and he took a breath. You watched as colour flooded his face, the greyish pallor of his skin turning rosy, his eyes moistening and starting to blink. He kissed you again.

It was warm this time, his breath hot against your face. You touched his chest, feeling it rise and fall beneath your hand. You knew what it cost him to do this.

You rolled on top of him, pushing your hips against his, feeling his cock start to grow and harden. You opened your shirt and one of his hands slid around your waist. He bit the other, holding the wound to your lips. You sucked out a mouthful of his Vitae, feeling the strength and vigour it gave you blossom in your chest, making your skin flush and your pussy moisten.

You slipped off his lap onto the floor, unfastening his jeans and slipping his cock out, licking it up and down as it twitched under your attention, coating it with your spit.

Your pants were already on the floor next to you as you fingered yourself, keeping his cock in your mouth and two fingers in your cunt. The way he stroked your hair as you sucked his cock always just made you wetter and needier, your pussy already clenching around your fingers as you toyed with yourself, teasing out a small orgasm before the main event, just enough to quicken your heart.

His breath quickened as he watched you cum, the little noises escaping you making his cock twitch in your mouth but you knew he wouldn't cum too soon.

You pulled yourself back up to his lap, moving his hands to your tits as you lowered yourself onto his cock. He gasped as it slid into you, your spit only helping it into your soaking pussy. He squeezed and rubbed your breasts as you started to ride him. He always managed to hit the best spots inside you, making you whine and whimper with every roll of your hips. He cradled your face, turning you to look into his wine-dark eyes

"You love this" his voice was even, it made your head spin

"I love this" you echoed to him

"You love me" came his voice again, echoing through the corners of your mind

"I love you" you responded, the only things in the world were his eyes and his cock, each one driving you wild

"Cum"

You came. Still transfixed by him, your body jolted and squirmed as you squirted around the cock skewering you, still rolling and bucking your hips, wringing out every drop of pleasure he was giving you

"Again"

You screamed, your pussy clenching and squirting. Your body pulsing in sync with it, white knuckles gripping his shoulders as he pulled you in to him.

The bite was ecstasy. You came again as soon as his fangs pierced your skin, arms dropping to your sides and brain clouding. You felt your legs twitching and shivering. Your fingertips tingling.

Your head spun faster and faster as your breathing got faster and lighter.

The room got cold, and darker, maybe the power was on the fritz?

The sound of the TV was distant, quiet, as though heard from the next room

It's getting colder.

It's dark.

You can't feel your legs.

A kiss.

Your mind explodes. You spasm and twitch as every vein in your body fills with fire. You try to scream, pain searing through you. You can see. You can hear. You can smell.

You hear the sounds of your neighbours snoring, you can see everything in the room as though the lights were on, but the only light is the TV. You can smell... Blood. Yours, your neighbours', carried on the wind. You're so hungry.

He's stood there, licking his lip, sealing the wound.

You get up, strength coursing through you.

He smiles at you. "Welcome to the rest of your life. We can go over the formalities later. For now, let's get you someone to eat"

Upcoming QnA Pause

Note here from the mod: I'm planning to put the blog on pause for a few months.

Now that there's a good selection of questions, it seems like it'd be pretty useful to give people time to go through the backlog and answer any they've been meaning to get to. It also gives me time to refill the queue itself! (And since I know a decent number of people are planning on participating in Artfight, it seems a useful time for a pause.)

The queue currently goes up to question #20, which seems a nice round number to leave off on. That question will post on Saturday 21st June, so we have a couple more weeks of questions left.

Hoping to restock on questions and return around mid July-early August, but I'll post again to update if anything else changes. Til then, enjoy the last few questions when they post. :D
