Avencae soulmate au

Or more like unconventional soulmate au. I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the soulmate trop. One the one hand, it's cute and who doesn't like the idea of someone made for you. On the other hand, I think it's so much more incredible when you choose each others despite the universe not matching you together. Which is why my favourite soulmate trop is one where they are actually not soulmate. So here we are.

Avencae + Dan Heng angst (by now you must have realised that I love to make him suffer. I love Dan Heng, but I also love to hurt him 😈)

In the universe, soulmates exist, but not everyone has a soulmate. While it's not rare, it's uncommon enough that people just tend to live their lives without thinking too much about it. People recognise their soulmate the moment they meet, an instinctual feeling.

All high elder has a soulmate, so Dan Heng knows he has one. Dan Feng's had been Blade, but that didn't mean he was Dan Heng's. When he meets Cae for the first time, he knows he is his soulmate.

At first, Dan Heng is just happy it wasn't Blade. But as he got to know Cae better, he really developed feelings. Which wasn't surprising since it's common knowledge that soulmates are always romantic. Dan Heng and Cae never talk about their soulmate bond (but Dan did tell the astral express crew), and pretty much act like close friends. But the fact that soulmate always ends up together is also common knowledge. They're just taking their time, and Dan is very pleased with a slow courtship.

The thing is, Cae never felt the soulbond. The first time he met Dan Heng, he felt nothing special (maybe the Stellaron hid the bond, or maybe he literally destroyed it. Once one recognise their soulmate, the bond is not felt again until the bonding ceremony is held). People also tend to forget that Cae was born yesterday, he doesn't know all this common knowledge. And while he does learn about it later, since he doesn't recognise any of the signs of having a soulmate in himself, he just assumes he doesn't have one. And that's that.

On the opposite side of the high elder of the Vidyadhara, Avgins never have soulmates. It is the gift of their goddess, so they can choose to be with whoever they want. This is a blessing Aven never resented to have. The tragedies of his life would have been worse had he had a soulmate. And now that he had experienced wearing chains, he had no wish to shackle himself with the destiny's chains. If he were to be with someone one day, it would be on his own terms. His own choice.

And that is exactly what happens with Cae. At first, he is just curious about the Stellaron bearer, and he will fit in his plans. But as they start to know each other, as they become closer, Aven start to fall more and more.

Cae also finds himself endeared to Aven. They are not so different, he finds. Both are struggling to fight the road that seems to be paved for them, with little success. They have both a strong opinion about free will and making their own choices. He also cannot deny he likes the attention and the gifts. People do tend to give him things, but it's often miscellaneous items, or something they had. He treasures all of them, but having gifts especially bought for him. With HIM in mind when selected. It makes him feel things.

There is also a part of him that is thrilled by being the only one Aven is so open to. Even if Ratio and Topaz might know many of the things Aven confess to him. Cae know Aven wouldn't have admitted them as easily to them.

Dan Heng see the both of them getting closer but doesn't say anything. He knows Cae isn't the kind of person to cheat, but he still feels a tinge of unease. Until the day he enters Cae's room and find Aven and Cae kissing. He is so shocked he turns away without them noticing him.

But later, he confronts Cae in the archives. He is angry. He asks Cae how ge could do this to him. That he wasn't that kind of person. Cae is very confused and worried. He has no idea why Dan Heng is angry with him kissing Aven. Queue Dan Heng talking about their soulmate bond and Cae being like... What bond?

Time stop.

Then the explanations. Dan Heng realising that their slow courtship wasn't a courtship at all. That Cae was his soulmate, but he might not even be Cae's. That Cae loves someone else.

While Cae has to come to terms with the fact he is someone soulmate. His best friend's soulmate, who saw him as more than a friend.

Both parts, needing space to think on their own. Cae is lost. He doesn't want to talk with the crew, they were apparently all waiting for him and Dan Heng to get together.

The thing is, Cae had a similar view of soulmate as Aven. He didn't want a higher entity to tell him with who to be with. It's to close to the scripts he keeps following unwillingly. He loves Dan Heng, of course he does. But not like that, never like that. And he genuinely likes Aven. Their relationship is all new. It was their first kiss that Dan Heng spied. But he can't imagine not being with him.

Characters Awakening Lines Translations

After posting the lines for Jin and Rui, I felt like translating other characters too so here we are!

Please note that since I don’t have access to all of the characters’ lines, most of the raw lines are taken from the unofficial JP wiki. The texts are all there so if any of you notice any errors/mistranslations, feel free to correct me!

FROSTHEIM

Jin

Awakening: To think I'm receiving alms from my servant... Should I kneel in front of you? Fully Awakened: Trust is something that can be broken easily. Don't you dare come any closer than you already have.

Tohma

Awakening: This feeling… It appears that you want me to keep reaching out for the top. Is that how it is? Fully Awakened: With this power, we're one step closer to achieving our goal. And I'm* going to make sure we see it through the end. [*he's referring to himself as “ore” instead of his usual “”watashi” here]

Luca

Awakening: I devote myself to protecting the weak, for that is the path I have to take. Fully Awakened: I'll become stronger than anyone. I don't want to lose anything important to me一not anymore!

Kaito

Awakening: Could it be… even someone like me can get stronger too? Fully Awakened: You have done so much for me! This man, Kaito, will no longer run away!!

VAGASTORM

Alan

Awakening: This power is dangerous. Stay away from me. Fully Awakened: I don't really know what’s appropriate to say for this kind of thing, so… well… umm, thanks a lot.

Leo

Awakening: C'mere, Honor Roll~ I'll show you those guys’ ugly crying faces too~ Fully Awakened: Obviously. If I don't like someone, I’ll take matters into my own hands and create hell on earth just for them. There's no such thing as divine retribution, you know?

Sho

Awakening: Thanks for waiting. Well? What do you want me to do now? Say it clearly. Fully Awakened: Sure, okay. I got it. If it's your request, I'll make sure to at least listen to it through the end.

JABBERWOCK

Haru

Awakening: That sure hits the spot~ Now I don't even need those energy drinks! Fully Awakened: I'm going as far as this road is going to take me. I made a choice to walk down this path and it's not something I can just simply throw away.

Towa

Awakening: Heheh~ Did I get stronger? How interesti~ng. Fully Awakened: I wonder why humans are such foolish, whimsical, and pitiful creatures… yet they manage to still be so lovable?

Ren

Awakening: Doing something like this… Senpai, what are you planning? Fully Awakened: Geez! Even if you look at me with those expectant eyes, I know you'll just get tired of me right away…

SINOSTRA

Taiga

Awakening: Gyahahahaha! Aren't you one greedy little kitten~? But I don't hate that about you. Fully Awakened: A hasty greed and a sincere wish. There's no big difference between the two of them.

Romeo

Awakening: Come now. Is it really the time to be charmed by my beauty? Fully Awakened: I need to be perfect all the time一for that is my way of staying triumphant on this world.

Ritsu

Awakening: This will help in furthering my career. Fully Awakened: N/A (if anyone has access to his fully awakened lines, please feel free to tell me!)

HOTARUBI

Subaru

Awakening: I’m so happy that you're right here beside me to watch me grow. Fully Awakened: “Ignorance is Bliss" and “Silence is Golden”. Don't you agree that it's unreasonable to try and break the admonitions we inherited from our predecessors?

Haku

Awakening: Oi oi oi. Don't expect too much from me, you hear? Fully Awakened: If our life were decided by the things we were born with, you bet I'd be the first one to kiss that kind of life goodbye.

Zenji

Awakening: It seems that my capability has bloomed yet again! Fully Awakened: I was wrong, my dear. As it turns out, dreams are not to be kept as just an idealized fantasy but something we should achieve with our own hands.

OBSCUARY

Edward

Awakening: Oh dearie me. If you whip my old bones any harder, I might actually die this time, you know? Fully Awakened: Sometimes a youthful folly can lead one into committing grave sins. So I hope that you keep this in mind一remain modest and cautious.

Rui

Awakening: Thanks a bunch for working hard for my sake~ I really mean it! Fully Awakened: It's fine if you ended up forgetting about me. I simply wish for you, of all people, to become happy.

Lyca

Awakening: Thanks. I want to show the current me to Neros soon. Fully Awakened: I’m going to work hard. I don't want to come back to those hellish days anymore.

MORTKRANKEN

Yuri

Awakening: This feeling! It stimulates my brain cells! Fully Awakened: I will pioneer the advanced road of genomic analysis for anomalies and establish myself as the best doctor in the world!

Jiro

Awakening: Thank you very much. I feel slightly better. Fully Awakened: I won't let you die. The reason I'm helping you? I don't really understand it myself either.

I'm pretty sure the ghouls stigmas are related to their wishes, so I'll had :

Jin wanted control, not necessarily over others, but probably over his life. His father certainly has his future all figured out for him, as well as how he should act, etc... That's why his stigma is about controlling others.

Subaru may have wanted to know people true thoughts and intentions. Becoming an actor so young and from a renowned family, I'm sure many people tried to manipulate and use him. That's why our boy has so low self esteem, he was probably praised in order to be manipulated. So he wanted to power to see people true nature for himself.

We don't know Haku's stigma yet, but it might have something to do with a desire to escape his family's expectations for him. At the same time, Haku is so secretive about himself, saying many things while revealing almost nothing. His wish might have something to do with something else entirely.

Jin, Subaru, and Haku could all have the same reason for making a deal with a demon, that being freedom.

Jin wants freedom from his dad

Subaru wants freedom so he can be a normal guy

And Haku wants freedom from his family

(I think Subaru wanted freedom. I mean he's been an actor since he was 4)

(Clearly it's been awhile since I've read any of the story)

(honestly could be reading them wrong

I've seen a few twitter posts about Harmony!Caelus imitating quite a few moves of Aventurine.

Gave me this Avencae idea

Caelus kind of becomes aware of how many people around him seems to attract others. Not realising his own attractiveness, he decides he want to learn how to seduce people.

Not because he wants to seduce anyone in particular,  but he wants to have rizz you know?

So he decide that the best person to teach him about seduction is Aventurine. After all, on their first meeting, the man managed to be both threatening and flirty while proposing his deal.

Aventurine is both amused and honoured that Cae sees him as the best seduction teacher. So he readily accepts.

Since Cae learn better by actions, Aven decides on a hand on approach and teach him by literally flirting with him.

So each time the both of them met, Aven would be flirting with Cae and be very tactile. A hand on the shoulder or the hip, kissing his hand. Aven takes his role very seriously and holds nothing back. Cae is just the same and do his best to imitate everything Aven is doing. They are so into it, that to outsiders, they are a very lovey-dovey couple.

Queue to them catching feelings for each others, but not confessing. Cae is sure that all the affection showered on him is just Aven being a good teacher. While Aven has the misconception that Cae wanted him to teach him about seduction because he wanted to seduce someone in particular. Someone that is very obviously not him.

Despite the misunderstanding, neither of them wish to stop their "lessons" (dates). And the pining continues on forever.

In the end, I either imagine Cae not being able to stay quiet and decided to confess. Even if it means being rejected. Only for the both of them to be surprised that their feelings are mutual.

Or Ratio, who has been a very unwilling audience to their pining, decides he has had enough of this two idiots. So he hit both of their heads with his book and order them to stop being stupid and to confess their feelings already!

[alice-chester]

I had this idea while talking with a friend. I don't if I'll write it, but I decided to share it.

It's Dancae and Avencae with Dan Heng angst 😈

Dan Heng and Cae have this thing going on, where they are not in a relationship but you can see them getting there. Everyone expect them to end up together sooner or later, Dan Heng too. He doesn't make a move yet because of his secrets. He doesn't want to keep things from his partner, but he isn't yet ready to divulge everything.

Then the Luofu happens and Dan Heng distance himself a bit from the others like in canon. Everything is too much and he needs time for himself to digest everything. While both Cae and March are bummed by that, everyone understands and give him space.

Come Penacony, Dan Heng decides to stay behind because he still doesn't feel okay. After all, nothing should happen here. He regrets it when he learn that Caelus got into trouble. He wants to go there, but the rest of the crew tell him to stay put so he reluctantly does.

In the end, the crew manage without him and everyone return safe and sound. Even Caelus seems alright both mentally and physically, though he did come back with a new hat and new powers. So Dan Heng expects for things to return as they were. He feels nearly ready to confess to Caelus.

But after some time, he realise that Caelus is more distant. Not in the sense that he is avoiding him, Cae is still very friendly. But they spend less time together than they used to. Cae is often elsewhere, and when on the train, he is always chatting on his phone.

At first Dan Heng doesn't makes much of it, Cae is very friendly and he seemed to have  made numerous friends on Penacony. He is also eager to help, so it wouldn't be surprising that he got asked to help with a project like for the museum and Aurum Alley. He did hear about helping in a bar. So Dan Heng is just waiting for things to die down like it generally do.

But it doesn't.

In the end, everything comes to a head when Cae comes on the train with a guest in tow. Dan Heng recognise the man as the IPC Aventurine. He is surprised by Cae and Aven friendliness. Because as far as he knew, Aven had been trying to manipulate Cae from the moment they met. The rest of the crew didn't understand much either, but told Dan Heng that Cae had told them that things weren't that simple and that Aven wasn't a bad person.

Still, because of Cae bleeding heart, Dan Heng decided to keep an eye on the IPC employee.

That's when he realised the heartbreaking truth. The way Cae smiled at Aven, the way he tenderly looked at him. How often he was in his personal space, often touching Aven somewhere : his hand on his sleeve or wrist, his head on his shoulder. Those were all things he used to do with Dan Heng but not much anymore.

Though the worst part was that Aven reciprocated everything. Always a hand in Cae's hair, or on his back. The way he always seemed to be more relaxed, more open when Cae looked or talked to him. The fondness in his eyes when he looked at Cae and the other wasn't.

Caelus had gone and fallen in love with someone else. And this person reciprocated his feelings.

Dan Heng was too late...

brazil fling is canon. furudate told me.

[image 1 is a 3-panel comic depicting hinata and oikawa happily running towards each other at the olympics, hinata yelling “oikawa-san!” and oikawa yelling “shouyou!”; in the third panel, they meet in a passionate mouth kiss. at the very bottom are the faces of hoshiumi, bokuto, atsumu, kageyama, and ushijima in a row, each looking completely bamboozled by this turn of events. image 2 is a 2-panel comic; hinata and oikawa turn toward the team innocently, still half in an embrace. hinata says, “hm? oh, this is just something people do in brazil.” and oikawa says, “yeah it’s how friends greet each other in brazil.” at the bottom, atsumu is kneeling on the ground, clutching his chest, while kageyama stands stock-still in shock. behind them, iwaizumi says “OK c’mon”, looking completely unperturbed and clapping a little to hurry them along.]
