✧ Fall In Love Again - P1Harmony

candor — another side story to radiant point. | refulgence

There was a time when you thought of Soichiro as your first love. There was a time when you thought he would turn your way.

After being fed the fairy tale of true love time and again and having eaten of it until its flavours were bland in your mouth, you soon came to realise that all you were fed was false hope. Soichiro was his family's ultimate incarnation, while you were but a paltry offering by yours. Though paltry you were, you were all your family had. Your beauty was their pride and joy, but it certainly wasn't enough to win the heart of your supposed betrothed.

As you grew up alongside the Hoshina brothers, it became clearer to you that it would have made more sense to have been offered to the second son instead. Not only were you two closer in age, but you also shared a deeper friendship with him— the kind that made you forget all about the existence of his older brother, and what his existence meant for your own.

Soichiro did turn your way. Only you were too preoccupied to notice.

The older boy was evidently surprised at how you were able to hold yourself against him during one of your sparring sessions. It had only been a matter of months since you started swordsmanship training under your father but you had a mastery of the basics now and even had a certain flair for precision. But regardless of your exponential growth, you were still outclassed by him, and he toppled over you as easily as kicking a potted plant to the ground.

"Nice try, beggar princess. Let me tell ya somethin' while we're here," Soichiro stated as he turned his back on you. "You're leavin' yourself wide open in other areas, but other than that, your stance is perfect."

He didn't want to admit that there was a beauty in your ferocity, too. Not with his little brother watching you both so intently. He'll settle with berating you until you've had enough. It's not like you were going anywhere, anyway. As far as he knew, his family owned you now.

That time you thought of Soichiro as your first love was a joke.

It was only because you fed into your family's narrative that a daughter like you needed a husband like him. As you grew older, the prospects of him ever becoming a tolerable husband dimmed by the day. He acknowledged your skill now, but he was still an awful person at the end of the day. Awful in that he had no sense of delicacy at all, even when it came to you, who was supposed to be his wife in the future.

Now that you were sixteen, the fairy tale was over, or the curse had been lifted, and you finally decided for yourself that you wanted no part in Soichiro's plans for you in the future, whatever those may be.

So you did what he thought you would never have the courage to do.

"I thank you and your family for your kindness to me, and I apologise, oji-san, but I don't want to marry Soichiro-san," you stated as you prostrated yourself before the Hoshina patriarch. "As much as I would have loved to be part of your family, Soichiro-san's attitude leaves much to be desired."

Was he hearing things right? He was the one who had attitude problems?

Soichiro sat there in complete shock at your declaration, but Soshiro was even more surprised at it unfolding. Their father didn't look too nonplussed by your statement. He knew that his eldest son was a little devil who thrived in discouraging both you and his younger brother, only for you to show him results time and again.

He also knew that Soshiro challenged his older brother for your hand, not just once, but more times than he can remember. Perhaps he can turn you around once more by opening a simple possibility. "Is there nothing that can change your mind? Your family agreed to an engagement, after all."

"I..."

I want Soshiro.

But you couldn't say it. You were in no position to make any demands even if they were freely offered to you. And what would Soshiro say about that? He was more than happy to be your friend, but would he ever accept you as his bride?

No, you've done enough dreaming for the last ten years.

"I'm afraid not, oji-san."

It was only when you left their estate that the brothers spoke once more until it eventually evolved into another duel— like the wild beasts that they were.

"You should have said something back then!" Soichiro exclaimed between his slashes and parries. "Why didn't you ask her and tell her to stay? That you would have treated her better than I ever would? I mean, you already do, but—"

"Are you kidding?! You already ran her out of the family! She already made it clear that she wants nothing to do with us! What makes you think she'd want to stay here?!" Soshiro shot back at him, mirroring his speed and movements until they were all but a single blur of swords and wind.

This blockhead second son knew nothing, of course. Soichiro was annoyed beyond sense at how dense his little brother was. Was he the only one who saw the smile that lit your face every time Soshiro welcomed you to their estate? Was he the only one who noticed how sweet your laughter sounded when it was Soshiro at the other end of the joke? Or how you once said in confidence that you preferred Soshiro's presence over his own because he was unbearable to be with, even though it was all his doing?

Soichiro got his just deserts and it annoyed him to no end. Because once more, he faced the prospect of being second best to his little brother, who grew in strength and skill with each passing day and even managed to win your heart all the same.

"Hgk—!"

But it was his brother's blade on his neck now. Soshiro got the one-up against him without any handicaps this time. His usually boisterous little brother withdrew his sword and quietly stared down at him. Soshiro did not look at him with a sense of superiority, but that of revulsion. The very same emotion in your eyes when you bade him farewell that day.

"I'm going to ask for her in my own time. You better not get in my way when that happens."

Your promotion to Third Division Platoon Leader was met with quiet celebration. Many of your fellow team members rejoiced in the opportunity to work under you this time as their leader. You were known to give out measured and concise orders that allowed every single one of them to seamlessly weave through the field and get the job done with minimum risks and casualties.

When Captain Ashiro congratulated you and presented you with your badge in her office, she let you in on a little secret only she and a handful of other superior officers were aware of. "When you first took the exams, you received a commendation from Captain Hoshina Soichiro of the Sixth Division."

Huh. You heard her right once. "I did not know that."

Captain Hoshina Soichiro of the Sixth Division vouched for your skills. If this was his way of making amends for his terrible treatment of you in the past, it was a pretty gesture, but still far too late.

"In his recommendation, he detailed how your family was a close associate of theirs and how you learned swordsmanship alongside him and our Vice Captain."

"That's true, Captain. Much of my skill was honed under their roof."

"If you don't mind me asking, why did you suddenly shift from Kendo to Fencing?"

Your Captain's question elicited a small laugh from your lips. "You might think it a petty reason, Captain, but I changed sword arms just so I could be better than them at something."

You gently touched the shiny new badge clipped to the collar of your formal regalia. "Soshiro... I mean Vice Captain Hoshina is someone I looked up to very much when we were children. If I may be so bold to say that he inspired me to take up swordsmanship."

"Hmm. I see," came Mina's short but understanding reply to you. "Just as Hoshina is important to me on the battlefield, I'll also be counting on you to carve open a path for me and everyone else."

"Of course, Captain, ma'am!" You said resolutely, followed by a crisp salute that matched the sharpness of your outfit today.

"Will you marry me?"

Soshiro asked you that question in the dead quiet of the night as he held you close in his arms. The silence of your quarters and the stillness of the rest of the base made it feel like you were the only two people in the world.

"Yes," you said with a small swallow of saliva to wet your mouth. "As long as you aren't gonna be like your brother."

"I'm nothin' like him now, am I?" He chuckled at your assumption. "If I wanted to be like him, I would've chased you out of our home the moment I saw ya."

"Mm. I suppose you're right about that," you nodded at him. You contentedly sank into his touch when he moved to cup your warm cheek in his hand. "You're nothing like him at all."

"Good to know. That's high praise comin' from you."

As another comfortable silence lingered over your tired figures, a memory of the past crossed your mind. "Do you remember that time I told your father I didn't want to marry your brother?"

That day was one he would never forget any time soon. "As clear as day."

"I nearly begged for you instead," you told him with a soft laugh.

"You should have. I would've been there beggin' right next to ya!"

"In the end, everything worked out for this beggar princess," you said with a small sigh. "Gosh, I still can't imagine myself as your brother's wife. It kinda gives me the creeps."

A bout of tender laughter left Soshiro's lips this time. He raised your hand to his face and pressed a soft kiss on your palms, near the range of calluses you had from gripping your sabre. "You don't have to imagine anything other than our future together."

You mirrored his actions and planted a similarly gentle kiss on his cold knuckles, your breath blooming warmth into his fingers. He weaved his fingers into yours, as though sharing that little glow with you "Of course. For as long as we're fighting for it."

AAAAA HOLY FREAKING MOLY I JUST DISCOVERED UR ART AND ITS SO AMAZING OMG ‼️‼️ I LOVE UR GRAVES FANART SM KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 👍

Thank you so much!!Your comment really motivated me☺️

[ayyy-imma-ninja]

I just read the most recent chapter of your sk! boys' fic, and I just gotta say that those boys mean so much to me- I love them to absolute pieces.

Also, you mentioned in your note that you spent a bunch of time researching for the forensics portion and I respect that so much honestly.

Great fic- and artwork! I like the inclusion of your art within the fic itself, a use of visual aid that I don't often see in fics, but I enjoy very much. Also the way you draw them is so cute! I would never suspect them tehe.

Seeing the way the brothers care for each other truly warms my heart, I love the way you portray their relationship.

Keep on keepin on, and make sure you're taking care of yourself!

aaaaa thank you! I'm happy people love them! ^w^

and I'm so glad that the deep dives into forensic research were worth it QwQ it felt cheap to just make up stuff about it.

thank you! It started with the sample writing I did way back when and decided to just commit to doing so for the chapters. I'm glad it's something that sorta sticks out, I guess <3

and ye, the boys have been through a lot together, which you will learn about as the story progresses. No matter what they have each other's backs.

thanks so so much!!! <3

GABE!!! AAAAA GABE I just watched Mune: Guardian of the Moon (how have I not known about this movie before??? It's beautiful!!!) and I have so many feelings, for dreamling it could go in so many directions—

We could have Dream as Mune, Corinthian as Sohone and Hob as Glim, make Hob and Dream fall in love inside a dream aaaaaaaa or, for angst, make Hob the guardian of the Sun and Dream the guardian of the Moon, fated to be apart forever and allowed to meet only during eclipses, or change canon and make the fallen guardian be Dream, and Hob goes into the underworld and be awed by this enormous being who was banned for being deemed a danger since he was exerting too much power in making people sleep and dream forever (a guardian who only wanted to show others the wonder of dreams, everything that can be made possible with them.....)

(And it's not original by today standarts by any means, mind you, it's from 2014, but it's just.... GRRR SUCH A BEAUTIFUL MOVIE, def a rec)

So full disclosure, I haven't seen the movie - but it looks ADORABLE. Also Patton Oswalt seems to be in the cast, so there's already a Sandman connection hehe. I will absolutely have to watch this.

But speaking of sun/moon dynamics in general, its honestly one of my favourite couple aesthetic. The whole idea of being apart and unable to meet, but also of the moon reflecting the sun's light, or the sun feeling like they can't get close to those they love for fear of burning them. There's so many beautiful metaphors. And it's so perfect for dreamling, with both of them being so lonely. Dream as the moon, always waxing and waning. Hob as the sun, shining but burning himself up. It's so good bestie. Thank you for the movie rec, I'll look forward to watching it!!!

Artfic trade with @nyankocatnyan, this is Kat's part!

So, I'm not an artist, but Kat and I wanted to do a gift exchange, so we bent the common rules a little bit by making an art and fic trade! I wrote a fanfic for Kat, and Kat drew this amazing and beautiful artwork of Finn, one of my favorite Mashle boys, for me! Thank you so so much for the lovely art, and for the wonderful opportunity! I really had a lot of fun doing the artfic trade, I love Kat's art soooo much!

After seeing your post about brainstorming for darling’s outfit in nexus, I ended up sketching some ideas. I love designing outfits/characters! Sadly I haven’t come around to completely reading the series, so I don’t know if the outfit would work for the region. Sorry ‘^^

Anyway I just wanted to share my sketches and say thanks for writing! Hope you have a wonderful day ^-^/

Skateboards my way back because 4.2 gave us CRUMBS EVEN IF ITS FOR A MINUTE. And i had a very self indulgent thought... okay so tsun!FL, yeah? Imagine aiding him after the events and he has to take painkillers / medicine that has to help his recovery, but it's a sedative so it makes him very eepi... wHICH SUCKS FOR HIM BC HE CAN'T BE TOO ACTIVE AND FITE, but that means he'll recover faster! Imagine having to deal with this tire and stubborn moth for a while, gets difficult over his meds and when he's on his meds he gets very soft sometimes... leans onto you sleepily... fighting the whale, going back to the abyss, etc etc was probably way too tiresome and God knows how long he was there for again-

Also hello hI I MISS YOU AND EVERYONE HERE !! HOPE YOU ALL HAD A FANTASTIC WEEKEND :3

~ 🩹 nonnie !!

HI HI WELCOME BACK!!!! IT'S SO NICE TO HEAR FROM YOU AGAIN :D

Foul Legacy will ONLY take his medication if you're the one giving it to him- not the doctors, not his Fatui subordinates, only you- and even then he's still stubborn, hissing and glaring at the medicine like it's his worst enemy. you extend your free hand and cup his cheek, gently rubbing your thumb against it as Legacy leans into your touch, his demeanor softening with a quiet purr. finally he lets out a huff, nudging your other hand for the medicine; he swallows the pills, sticking out his tongue in disgust before pressing himself closer for you, wanting to bask in the warm, comforting feeling you exude

soon you feel Legacy leaning heavily against you, his voice coming out as little croons and chitters, wings fluttering almost absentmindedly. he shifts so his head is resting in your lap, rumbling tiredly as you pet his hair. your fingers brush over the cracks in his armor, the areas that haven't quite healed yet, and he lets out a quiet whine, curling his claws gently around your wrist. you lean back against the wall and open your arms, Legacy practically falling into your hug with his cheek snuggled into your chest, wedging his head underneath your chin. he missed you- when he was fighting the narwhal all he thought about was you and coming home to your warm embrace- it's what kept him going, really

silence falls over you both and in a few moments, you begin to hear soft snores from Foul Legacy, drowsy trills occasionally slipping from his fanged maw before he nuzzles closer, relaxing for the first time in weeks

(OMG OMG OMG WAAAA I LOVE HOW YOU DREW HER AAA <3 <3)

Alrighty so- another thing i was thinking about iterator speculative biology! iterators can intake water through their puppets too! it's rather inefficient to intake water through your puppet if you are still attached to the structure, but if you are off the string then it is basically the only way you can intake water! (note: the puppet recessives water through the major water conduit wires in the mechanical arm if they are attached to the structure!)

the water (preferably cold, room temp is fine. but warm water makes them ill) will circulate to the vital systems to cool them off, then to the less vital systems, then into the lungs.

if you noticed, the lungs have two parts: water storage, and water to water vapor conversion part. the water vapor then gets breathed out through the puppet vents. intaking water isn't just to cool your systems off, but it is also to breathe. of course if the iterator is off the string then they do not need to intake water 24/7, the aforementioned water storage in the first part of the lung can hold onto water for quite a while. but water is still VITAL to their function, depriving an iterator of water is basically just choking them to death AND giving them one hell of a fever.
