#Note: I am running out of variants for the name Ann. Or having it in names... Gotta start being more creative.

[akechis-special-case]

Sona Intro (Basics) - Annalise

Fandom: Honkai Star Rail

Paired with: (The) Herta

Temporary(?) Reference - Picrew Link

I will draw them eventually. ... Probably... Knowing me that might take a good while.

Pronouns: She/They

Path + Element: Abundance, Lightning

"But they are green-" Yeah because Aro flag colors. I like lightning shush

Well renowned author and literary scholar. Inexperienced with science yet seems to try understanding it. Usually calm and collected, gentle even (calm older sister vibes). Yet seems to be oddly infatuated with Herta. The dolls are (jokingly) the daughters. It becomes visible when they are in the same room with (The) Herta. Annalise is valued for their smarts in a different field.

As a person focusing on literature they have different views on things and look at things from a different lense, like stories. Has a talent for analyzing speaking patterns and anything written down. If you allow them they might talk your ear off about literary stuff, practical and theoretical.

Their gentle nature results in them being sought out for advice or helping out others, seeming too close to other people sometimes. This could result in jealousy yet Annalise is oblivious to it. They just want to help.

If anyone is ever interested in them, they won't notice. Literally has only eyes for Herta and is the genius's biggest enabler.

Hates being a burden, thus keeping all their troubles to themself. Also doesn't like talking about their past, hence why they bury themself in literature overall. To most they may as well have just plopped into existence.

Here's a prompt. Its vague but i hope you can wprk with it: The red team and Diana find a dragon egg near the edge of arcturus froest and Akko gets to show off her biology knowledge

A.N : OH MY GOD I FINALLY FINISHED IT, YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!! I can’t believe it took me so long, I’m so ashamed T_T. Now, gotta post those on FF.net and AO3 and then translate them… Phew…

Anyway, this one was actually pretty fun to write (especially the end, nyehehe~). But for practical reasons I changed the prompt a bit so they don’t find an egg but a baby dragon. I hope you guys will enjoy it !

    Itwas a beautiful day at Luna Nova. The semester had just started, so the littlewitches could still laze around in the school’s gardens, their skin warmed bythe sun, the light breeze of the end of the summer cooling the air just enoughso it doesn’t feel too hot. A normal, quiet day for every witch in theschool… Except for one.

 "ATSUKOKAGARI !“

    Atall brunette flinched upon hearing her professor’s scream. Thanks to an entireyear of hearing some variant of it almost every day, she learned to deduce howpissed Anne Finneran was just by the way she screamed the name of the school’sbiggest troublemaker. And today, unfortunately, she seemed to be verypissed.

    Turningaround with her best sheepish/apologetic smile, the young witch greeted theolder woman :

 "Goodmorning, professor. How can I help you ?

- My morning was good until ProfessorLukiç told me that you interrupted her class by blowing up your potion. Again.

- It wasn’t my fault ! I had beenfollowing the instructions the entire time and everything was going well so-

- So you thought that you could add somepepermint because "it really smells too much”, right ? ProfessorLukiç already told me.

- You have to agree this potion reallysmells like dragon poop.

- Funny that you’re talking about this :since it’s the tenth class you interrupted this month -and may I remind you themonth started only eight days ago-, you will have a special punishment, whichis to go in the forest and bring back the local dragons’ excrements. I expect afull bucket by the end of the day.

- WHAAAAAAT ?!“

    ProfessorFinneran turned around and walked away, not sparing her student another glance.Akko was internally -and externally- growling. The day couldn’t get worse.

*

*           *

    Turnedout that the young witch could be wrong sometimes. The day could getworse.

 "HonestlyAkko, I don’t know what got into you : you should know that mixing peppermintwith fairy powder is the best recipee for a disaster ! We saw that in classjust last week ! I thought you would take your classes more seriously now thatwe are in our second year ; even if you are a hero, you can’t fallbehind with your studies. In fact, your status is all the more reason to workas hard as you can to be one of the best students in the school and show thatyou deserve such fame.

- I know, Diana, I’m sorry…

- If you know, you should be morecareful.”

    Whydid Diana of all people have to come to watch over her and ensure shefollowed Finneran’s instructions ?! Ever since Akko started dating the youngheiress, she had learned that nothing was quite as terrible as havingyour girlfriend watch over you during detention or chores because that meant nohand-holding, no kissing, no chit-chat and LOTS of annoyed -sometimes evenangry- stares because of course your girlfriend is annoyed that 1) youmessed up ; 2) she has to spend her free time watching over you ; 3) she can’tkiss you nor hold your hand even if she wants to because “This isdetention Akko, you are not supposed to enjoy it, no matter who you spend itwith”.

   In other words : it sucked.

 “Comeon, Akko, cheer up ! Lotte smiled. Professor Finneran allowed Sucy and Ito help since we didn’t stop you from putting the peppermint in the potion.With the three of us, this task will be done in no time !

- We might even find some great mushroomsaround here… Kekeke…”

    Akkofelt a shiver run down her spine when she saw her friend’s smirk. She didn’twant to know what kind of potions Sucy could make with the mushrooms growing inthe forest…

    TheJapanese girl stopped when she heard a strange noise coming from the bushes onher right. Curious, she approached it, tip-toeing to see what was hiding behindthe leaves and branches, expecting a rabbit, but what she discovered insteadwas…

 “WAAAAH! A dragon !

- What ?!”

    Herfriends and girlfriend turned to her, disbelief clearly visible on their faces.Diana quickly straightened herself and approached her lover to see said “dragon”,Sucy and Lotte soon following her, one interested and the other frightened.

    Takinga look behind the bushes, Diana saw what looked like a big lizard with deep redscales, two wings and two legs, seemingly asleep.

 “Itindeed seems to be a dragon. A very young one, but a dragon nonetheless.

- Hoho, interesting, Sucy snickered. Iheard that dragon’s wings have interesting properties~

- I don’t think his wings would help youwith your potions Sucy, Akko retorted. It’s a knucker, his wings will barely growany more. And since he seems to be around a month old, I don’t think he canproduce venom yet.

- Wha- Wait, Akko, do you know this dragon? Diana asked, visibly surprised.

- Not personally, but my biology teacherin middle school was very interested in magical biology and fantastic beastsand since I was her best student and liked magic too, she taught me a fewthings. Of course we started with dragons, unicorns, faeries and the like, so Iknow the most important traits of the different dragon species.

- Wow, that’s so impressive Akko ! Lottecheered, smiling at her friend.

- Hehe, thanks ! the brunette smiled.Anyway, it shouldn’t be alone at this age, so I guess it got lost or something.We should bring it back to its home before its mother starts searching for it.

- And where would that be ? asked Sucy.

- They like to live in deep pools andcaves because it’s dark and humid. I think there’s a pool a mile away, so wecould maybe start there ?

- Good idea, Akko, said Diana. I’ll cast asleeping spell on the little one so we can transport it without risk. Even ifhe can’t spill venom yet, he can still harm us if we’re not careful.”

    Theydid as said and twenty minutes later, they were hiding behind the bushes nearthe pool they supposed to be the little dragon’s home. Lotte used her faeriesto scout around the area and find the dragon’s mother, but it seemed that shewasn’t there. However, the little beings found what looked like a nest and,after Akko examined it and confirmed it indeed was the knuckers’ home, the fourwitches left the snoring baby dragon there and ran away as fast as they couldin hope to avoid its mother.

*

*          *

 “Waaaah! What a day ! Akko yawned, tired by the afternoon’s events.

- It indeed was a stressing, butinteresting experience, Diana agreed.

- Well, we’re used to this kind of stuff.We’re Akko’s friends after all, Sucy said with a smirk.

- … You know, I’m glad you said you weremy friend because you don’t say that often, but I’m also pretty hurt that youimplied that I’m a trouble-magnet or something.

- I’m just stating the truth.

- You- !

- Okay, okay, calm down guys, let’s notfight, Lotte interrupted her friends. Akko, how about you go give the bucket toFinneran with Diana ? Sucy and I will go back to our room first, okay ?

- Yeah, okay, grumbled Akko.

- Good. See you later then !”

    Andwith that, the two members of Red Team walked away, leaving their friend alonewith her beloved. A few minutes later and the two stood outside of ProfessorFinneran’s office, having already delivered the dragon excrements, whichallowed them to enjoy their time together to the fullest. For the first timethat day, Diana took her girlfriend’s hand and side-hugged her, letting out asigh of relief at the same time. Akko tensed up a bit from the surprise, but quicklyrelaxed and returned the hug, breathing in her lover’s sweet scent.

 “I’mglad your punishment is over, Diana mumbled in the Japanese girl’s shoulder. Iwanted to spend some time together after our classes ended, but with thisexcursion in the forest…

- Sorry, Diana… I’ll be more careful nexttime, I promise.

- Excuse accepted. I know you didn’t meanto get in trouble. So I guess the best way to make sure you’ll stay out of it is to teach you how toproperly prepare your potions, is it not ? Diana asked with a glint of mischiefin her eyes, which could only mean…

- Sooo… More “study sessions” together,then ? Just the two of us ? asked Akko, smiling knowingly at her girlfriend.

- Exactly, Diana replied, almost purringwhile she tiptoed to give her girlfriend a slow, gentle, but loving kiss. Butdon’t expect to get away from your work so easily that time, the heiresscontinued while pulling away -to her girlfriend’s dismay.

- But Dianaaaa…

- No, Akko. Study first. You will get areward if you work well.

- I worked well today. I deserve a rewardnow.

- That, I can’t argue with. You reallyimpressed me with this little dragon.

- Hehe~ So, can I get a kiss ?”

    Dianasmiled at her girlfriend’s adorable, mi-pleading mi-joking expression andwordlessly pulled the brunette closer to give her the reward she so desperatelywanted.

A.N : Hehehe… Nyehehehehe~ Yes, I am Dianakko trash and I’m proud of it.

SO ! This little prompt here was the last one you guys sent me in august, so now I’m gonna translate and post them as I said in the first note up there. And after I’m done with that (so in six months… No, no, just joking~ Or not…), I’ll write some ideas I’ve had for a long time and some that my readers sent me on my other fics on FF.net and AO3. I hope you’ll like them as well ! I’m not sure how I’m gonna call the “future” collection, but the one with Hannakko, Dialotte and Barbaramanda will surely just be titled “Rarepair”.

Anyway, thanks for reading and have a nice day !
