Auraugust Day 11: "Duality"

A glimpse into what could have been. Or perhaps a glimpse into what is true...in another life, another time.

Auraugust Prompt List

[justaz]

i know this post has probably been made a million times but i cannot get this scenario out of my head

for whatever reason, merlin gets dragged into like training or sparring or a competition or whatever the point is, he has a sword in hand and is to fight against someone. arthur and the knights aren’t really expecting anything to come of this, they know merlin doesn’t really fight. but for some reason he does, maybe arthur made a comment and merlin wanted to prove him wrong, maybe it’s a challenge/trap and it’s life or death, idk but merlin picks up the sword and fights

and all of a sudden, the knights aren’t watching a scrawny serving boy swinging a sword around, they’re watching a carbon copy of their king, of arthur, dancing with his opponent, his sword an extension of his own being, arthur’s own personal moves and techniques are executed flawlessly, merlin even smirks and taunts his opponent the same way arthur does with an uneven curl of his lips and raising a hand to beckon them forward

perhaps its from training with arthur one on one for years mixed with the countless hours he spends on the edge of the training grounds watching arthur and only arthur follow the same exact dance but merlin quite literally is arthur in that moment, a brilliant, deadly swordsman with unexpected grace and an easy victory

Prompt 165

Danny is rather bemused but honestly with how his life is, this might as well happen. Apparently he has seven more siblings now, and a whole second dysfunctional family. And apparently he, Ellie and Jordan are the babies of the family. So. 

Could Clockwork have mentioned that one of his variants had children before? Maybe, but this gets him out of becoming ghost king at the age of fourteen, which is a baby to the Realms anyway. 

Well, hopefully their new siblings will be fine with them…

Big fan of the reoccurring motif in fiction where god is just a little girl. Like I adore how writers came to the unanimous agreement that the most terrifying thing you could be is a little girl left to her own devices. That's good shit.

{ the SugarBat agenda was a hit! they are my beloved rarepair }

{ but I have another compromise: Zacharie and The Queen, since stout chuckling toad and tall elegant octopus stuck on me }

{ I think The Queen would take a liking to the odd merchant. while she knows the extent of the story, Zacharie can see beyond the plot and probably the entire game. she's charmed by the unknown and this curious merchant }

{ Zach breaks the fourth wall plenty, he must have some fun stories to tell The Queen. they're enamoured by the beauty beyond the confines and one day they'll see over the rainbow }

{ they probably talk a lot about philosophical things about the world in bed or read together after they m4ke 0ut, maybe take a shower because they sticky }

{ speaking of which i bet s3x with them is interesting because tentacles and long tongues are fun. very slippery and Zach would totally be into The Queen's more.. inhuman parts. forget her thousand faces she's got curves you can literally get lost in }

{ and if there's one person to survive Queen's s3x dung30n and get to kiss her eldritch face it's going to be Zach let's just face it }

Linktober Day 9

Deity

*sneezes after downing coffee* Well irl stuff got in the way so I'm way behind my original schedule for these and for Linktober but here we go with another arguably short one, fuelled purely by self indulgence, headcanons, spite against my linguist essays that kept me from keeping to schedule, severe sleep deprivation, a shout out to the Ender Lilies soundtrack and Majora's Mask soundtrack, and Nintendo for not clarifying anything about the lore so I'm snatching what I can and making it my own lol. Look, when you fíxate so much on details the Zelda team doesn't elaborate on you have to fill in the gaps with what you can.

As always can be read as romantic or platonic, technically in a LU context but not explicitly in it by itself.

The Lord of the Mountain liked hearing people sing.

In a way, it wasn’t a surprise, Hylia and the Golden Three each had their ballads and symphonies and minuets, each splendid and with cuts of their divinity in it, Farore was fond of lightning and forest alive minuets, and you could swear Farosh sparked just a bit brighter when one would him the beginnings of the Minuet of the Forest near their spring, Din was fond of boleros, fiery and alive and howling with the echo of flame touching earth that made a shine run through Dinraal’s scales, Nayru, in contrast, was much fonder of blizzard and river quiet serenades, the songs of contemplation at first snow ringing clear when Naydra curled around it’s spring, content to be free of Malice.

And of course Hylia had her ballads and lullabies, perfectly fitting to her display of divinity, of honey days and vast bird like wings, of ambered summers to come and to pass and dazzling solar storms of starlight and sunlight sparking through the human form of her descendants and heroes. So in a way, you weren’t surprised at all that the Lord of the Mountain – Satori, with a familiar touch of londsleite divinity, the hunt of the woodland beasts and diamondscar adoration for the Hero of the Wilds, similar in glory to the Light Spirits petrichor and vermeil fondness for the Hero of the Twilight – liked to listen to people sing. What you were surprised was how it attempted to follow along, it’s head across your lap the second you sat down in the clearing, a gentle hum on back of it’s throat, an owl’s cry and a cicada’s humming and faintly, chirring purring as presses it’s faces into your hands, a gentle request for petting.

It was adorable, even with the faint notes of the chill of clear spring water on winter and the livewire feeling of magic, like holding your hand too close to a flame but not quite touching it.

A low chuckle brushes against the back of your mind, a feeling like biting on ice, the prowl of a wild beast and the build up of lightning and light used to create his blade, the amused affection of a warrior reconvening with their brother in arms, you think you see the bone ivory of the Deity’s hair on the side of your vision, though you know he’s not physically there, ‘He likes you.’

You hum, gently patting behind it’s ears, pushing through the chill, gracefully not mentioning the burning with a smile at the mythic being’s faint chirring, birdsong and the wind through cherry blossoms that sparkle like rose quartz, “Well I quite like him too, I can see where it’s gentleness comes from.”

The ghost of a touch over your hair, the caress of lightning striking over your skin and the hair on the back of your neck pricking up and the crisp cold of winter, the chill of the ending and the flame of a new dawn, of new days, the phantom of magnolias and spring water on your tongue. The fragrance of pine, daffodils and blood soaked lilies on ashen fields on your senses, gentle and careful, marking but not claiming, ‘Only because it’s you, beloved. It’s not something easily given.’

You sigh, shakily composing yourself, you let yourself relax into the phantom sensation. Of hopes and dreams and healed suffering, of the divinity of hunt turned into protection and lightning given form, of tangled timelines and crystalized memories, “I know. It does not change my opinion, either way.”

To be the subject of a god’s care and regard was dangerous, after all. For the human and the deity in question, you know the stories from your world well, of the effects of Hylia on First and Sky, of Twilight and the personification of the Twilight Realm and the spirits of his land, of Wild and clawing from death’s embrace into that of the wilderness.

Knew how the fact the Fierce Deity’s mere proximity causing pain on those who changed him into hunting for hunt’s sake into protection for the sake of someone else cut deeper than even the ever encroaching entropy all beings must one day face. It was no wonder the Song of Healing was his creation, to want to ease the burden.

You gladly grant him some peace, in turn, even if it wasn’t much. It’s the least you can do, for always having his ways of watching over your heroes.

“Join me? We can make a duet.”

You feel more than see him shift, ephemeral, fleeting, gentle against the edges of your existence, as foreign to Hyrule as your own, sparking over your spine as you feel ozone and rust on your teeth. Satori is humming again to match the rumble of thunder in the man’s voice, the heralding of songs of war and elegies for the dead, ‘Of course, though I’m afraid I do not know many songs, besides…’

“It’s alright,”, you smile faintly, there’s a white ocarina in his hands, as he leans, a spectre against your side, “I’ll teach you some of my own, though you’ll have to forgive me if I don’t remember all the lyrics.”

‘It would be my honor to learn.’

You think he smiles, from the fluttering of something ancient and long forgotten against your side.

You sing to Satori and the Chain, a small respite of familiar and forgotten tunes, the Lord of the Mountain hums along. The Fierce Deity’s song cutting through any nightmares that may ail your heroes for another night.

When the dawn of a new day comes, the feeling of divinity against your skin feels just a bit more obvious, sinking into every crack of your being like a shroud, falling over your boys like a veil, reflecting the breath of eternity over Hyrule.

(First gives you a look that’s half exasperation, half understanding. Sky pointedly sticks to your side as Time looks you over, markings deep with vibrant color. You shrug with a helpless smile as you feel the lightest brushes of Hylia’s fond days of gold and starlit summers days against the Lord of the Mountains warm, luminous affection and the Fierce Deity’s smug, but content lonsdaleite smile.)

BKDK Prompt #1

When Bakugou asked Deku to dinner, he thought it was just part of their friendship healing. The flower’s were a sweet touch, and the candle was typically for dates but he didn’t question it.

Deku probably should’ve caught onto something being odd when Bakugou started holding his hand, sweating nervously. Bur surely it was just Deku’s crush interpreting the situation weirdly, right?

Bakugou kissing him was also just platonic. He’s seen his other friends kiss platonically. Hell, his own friends have kissed him before! Usually on the cheek, but surely this was the same?

And becoming hero partners along with moving in together was just sensible! It was also cheaper to rent a one-bedroom versus a two-bedroom apartment.

Maybe Bakugou proposing after taking him on a day trip filled with all his favorite things should’ve clued him in. But he figured this was just Bakugou being logical. After all, married couples got a lot more benefits than single people. And after Bakugou scared Deku when he got injured, but Deku was unable to make any medical decisions for him, this must’ve been the easiest fix.

Adopting children with Bakugou felt like the next logical step. After all, since they were married this was the only way to have kids. Bakugou and Deku have always wanted kids, and friends have raised kids together before!

What Deku’s getting at, it’s not fully his fault for not noticing he and Bakugou were romantically involved! Bakugou never asked Deku to be his boyfriend!

The deeper we go into our shadows and find acceptance, the more light we can hold.

The more light we hold, the more we come face to face with our unconscious.

It feels strange, having nowhere to hide, nowhere to use as protection. Just one story buildings and bright sunlight and flat land as far as the eye can see, just the vast and unbroken sky. It makes him feel as if there's eyes on him, somehow, that he's being watched and can't even try to figure out by whom, and that there's no way to get away from it except to find the tallest point and know that he's the one seeing the most, watching rather than being watched.

❝ mine. ❞ ~Rouge to Knuckles

✧ JEALOUS, FIERCLY PROTECTIVE & TERRITORIAL PROMPTS ✧

"T'at for me 'r your 'one true love'?"

Its clear by the soft chuckle that leaves him that he is teasing the other, he can't help it sometimes after all. Always enjoying bantering with Rouge — it was fun. Plus, sometimes he managed to fluster her right back.

Even if he was a tad curious WHERE this possessiveness was coming from, he couldn't help but feel flattered by it. It was sweet in an odd endearing way. Pulling the thief closer and pressing a soft kiss to her forehead before letting his forehead rest against her's.

"Your's~"
