Running From Vain

five hargreeves x fem!reader synopsis: you confuse anger for love. word count: 1.8k tags: angst, heavy fluff, kissing, touching, etc. technically adopted siblings? lots of character lore lol note: story was written with s4 visuals in mind. this is my first time writing tua fanfic so i hope u enjoy. i apologize in advance for being an extremely detailed writer :)

♱⛧ ⋆ ˚｡ ⋆୨ ୧⋆ ˚｡ ⋆⛧♱

the 8th hargreeves child was the one that reginald kept hidden and locked away for decades. her blood regeneration was able to flow through not only herself but others as well, being able to save them from death and retrieve their leaking souls when needed. she lacked the ability to control them from a young age, and her powers were deemed too impactful to society fairly quickly. when a mission goes rather poorly, she is revealed to the world by mistake. since then she’s been known as the outcast to everyone, including her own siblings. the world is coming to an end once again, issues are constantly arising with all connections pointing to the umbrella academy. the family already lost beloved parts of itself in the past, and they bare to lose any more. tension has been brewing for years and one wrong comment leads to a certain couple releasing deep emotions, both good and bad.

♱⛧ ⋆ ˚｡ ⋆୨ ୧⋆ ˚｡ ⋆⛧♱

his hands travel from the sides of his face upwards towards the messy black hair that lays upon his head. their strands are falling to perfectly frame the chiseled boy below them. an unpleasant expression is sprawled across five’s face, his tired eyes clenched closed as his eyebrows pinch together. 

“no, you don't understand! we can’t keep wasting time, everything will be gone tomorrow.” he opens his mouth for the time in what feels like hours. his chest begins to rise and fall quickly. his feet start to carry him back and forth, passing you every few moments while his eyes are locked onto you. the hallway where you both reside is tense, heavy, and secluded from the rest of the house. for being in such a mammoth size mansion, with 7 other siblings, a robot mother, and an intelligent monkey, the world seems to be silent. the only noise that can be heard is the faint sound of five breathing, releasing a few deep sighs as he does. 

“i understand perfectly well, but your plan is useless. you are so insufferable to work with, i mean come on five, be realistic for once! if we listen to viktor then we might actually be able to stop the apocalypse.” you make an attempt at replying, but it seems like he’s starting to ignore you. 

the air is intoxicating, you hate him, you hate what he did to the umbrella name, and especially to you. it’s time for someone to stand up and confront his decision making. everything he does is egotistical and arrogant. his words are sharp and impactful in the most negative ways imaginable. the sound of his shuffling feet stop, his dark beaded eyes trace every aspect of your face before opening his mouth in response to you. 

“you know you’re a real piece of work right? calling me insufferable is completely distasteful when all you do is follow diego around like a lost puppy. it’s fucking embarrassing for everyone in this family, and you know it.” he stops to let out a small chuckle before pointing his finger towards your chest. “don't even make me mention the grave mistake you made on our last mission either” his expression is ridden in evil, a small upturned smile resting on his face and he stares into you.

“that was not my fault,” you spit back, angrily stepping towards him. “i am the ONLY person who TRIED to help ben and everyone who was in that chamber could tell you that themselves.” red flashes of anger spread across your skin as you continue to step closer to five. “he died from something completely unrelated to my powers, but I FUCKING TRIED! I DID, NOT ALLISON, NOT DIEGO, ME.” by this time you are meters away from being chest to chest with the boy. 

“you’re a waste of space. you disappoint everyone in this house.” he glares down, his taller figure towers over you menacingly.

"that's really rich coming from you." you take a step back and laugh to yourself. "do you know that nobody in this family likes you anymore? hmm? after all the shit you've constantly put us through, five?”

"i dedicated my entire life to saving your asses, i spent 40 goddamn years in an apocalypse just to come back and save all of you countless times! what do i get in return? impertinence." his demeanor is getting worsened by each remark, hot red anger is spread across his face as he snaps back at you. 

"none of us asked you to! you are always taking charge and forcing us to follow your plans, what if we didn't want to do this anymore? you're such a narcissist everything is always about you!" a near table rattled slightly from the yelling, the flowerpot on top shook before calming back down after a moment. 

"fuck you. fuck all of you. i'm TIRED of trying to save this family. if you all want to die in another apocalypse, then be my guest." he scoffs looking at you one more time and turns to walk away. "god you're so pathetic, always teleporting away when things don't go your way. you’re so childish." you hiss

"what did you say to me?" five spins back around, his feet carrying him back towards you. "you heard me." you raise your head and straighten up, holding his tough gaze. by this time the two of you are practically chest to chest again, his eyes beaming down into you. if he wasn’t human, you'd imagine smoke being blown from his ears and nostrils out of anger.

"say it again." 

"you're. fucking. pathetic." 

in a heartbeat his lips are smashing into you hungrily. one of his hands is gripping your face while the other snakes around your waist. all of the pent up anger between the both of you comes crashing down, blending into lust. he feels warm, his soul is bleeding into yours as his tongue explores your mouth. his hands are running all over your body, stopping to hold onto your mid section, then your behind, and finally dragging their way up to your neck. five pulls back, panting slightly, his eyes searching yours worried and confused.

“do you want this?”  

“more than anything.” you drive your hands into his hair, yanking his lips back into yours. his small smile is felt pressing into your mouth, fingers lingering around the belt loops on the front of your jeans. he’s pulling your body into his as he deepens the kiss, groaning into you when you rub against him slightly. 

he pulls away and leaves trails of hot wet kisses on the front of your throat. you grumble and moan at this touch, causing five to laugh into your skin. he leaves small love bites all over your neck and collarbones while you run your hands through his hair. his eyes glance up at you, a different light beams through them now then moments before. his anger has faded into something similar to love. his little pecks come to a slow rhythm before he returns to your lips. dragging you into him, the two of you slowly begin backing up towards one of the hallway walls. 

he presses his long fingers into the sides of your waist, shoving you into the stone behind you. five’s grip is firm and tight, stopping you from being able to wiggle loose. the way his mouth moves is like a work of art. there’s no doubt that someone had taught him how to kiss like this, but my god, you are thankful for them. you touch him memorizing every piece of his body from his chest, his jawline, to the back of his neck, and up through his hair. the way he leans into your touches with such desperation is absolutely god like.

his slight groans and noises grow in volume when you reach your fingers towards his waist. a sly hand lifting the edge of his shirt and running along the front of his bare body. his small smile returns, pulling back from your lips. 

“your hands are cold.” he leans forward, placing a kiss on your forehead. the invisible bubble draped over the two of you seems to pop. he’s moving hands into the back pocket of your jeans, keeping you pressed into him. you smile at the small actions, glaring up to analyze his face.

“come with me” five reaches for your hand interlocking his fingers between yours. his feet are ready to speed away as he gently pulls you toward whenever he’s leading. 

“five we can’t…” you look at him guilty. 

“no, no… not that.” his head shakes in disbelief as he smiles at you. “please just trust me and come” his hand tugs at yours pleadingly. 

there’s another moment of hesitation before you give him a small nod and move your feet to follow his. the grip he has on your hand tightens as he pulls you forward, a blue smokey powder flashes in front of you before realizing what he was doing. 

there’s a millisecond of discomfort and stinging before you feel the ground beneath your feet again. it hadn’t crossed your mind before how it felt for five to use his powers, but my god it was strange. 

the room is similar to a greenhouse with its large glass windows and open ceiling. it’s covered in vines and greenery with a small white pitched tent in the center. there are boxes and a large wooden table to the side, scattered papers sprawled over its surface. there’s a couple whiteboards on the back wall with calculations and symbols scribbled all over. the messy handwriting looks like five’s, and a photo of his stupid mannequin ex-girlfriend, delores, is hung from one of them confirming this was his doing. 

“where are we?” you glance at him before returning to observe the room.

“the highest level of the house, it’s locked behind one of dads bookshelves but i found it a couple years ago. i used to sneak in here when i needed a quiet place. it’s hard to be bothered when nobody else can get inside except for me” he smiles down at you, tracing small circles with his thumb onto your hand, still intertwined.

you analyze the writings and questions scattered along the room, puzzled about the true purpose of being taken up here. he looks at you confidently while holding a small pale wooden box with the umbrella logo printed on top. 

“i didn't think you were ready before, but i think you are now. i know how we will all survive the apocalypse.”

"This would be an interesting way for Jaune to realize that the attack is coming at the Vytal festival.

The main issue is Disco Elysium is all about a thousand little things adding up right at the end.

---------------------------------------------------

Melanie: Hello, Mr. Huntsman. (Crosses legs, Leans against the railing) What brings you up here?

Jaune: (Looks to the gray sky)

Qrow: (In Jaune's mind) A warm column of air rises around you, encircling the building you stand on. You feel its twisting shape, bits of paper and birds - "on the thermal". Along with several million litres of water. All rising up to the great Valian sky.

Jaune: (Thinking) Why does it rise?.

Qrow: Because it's warm - from the gathering spring; from the oceanic current flowing into the bay; the people on the streets; the machines that hum into and above the harbor. Heavy dust particles, too.

Jaune: (Shudders)

Qrow: From the vapor, a great cumulus is formed. A cloud castle one thousand meters high. A flock of seagulls scream, hitchhiking on the thermal. They too are part of the procession, the honor watch.

Jaune: For whom?.

Qrow: For her. The guest. Waiting.

Jaune: Is she safe here?.

Qrow: As safe as you keep her.

Jaune: What is she waiting for?.

Qrow: For Gloria. Soon these clouds will fall down as rain. Spring will come. Two more months. Maybe less. It's time.

Jaune: Miss, what are you waiting for?

Melanie: You mean here - in the City of Vale? (Drags on cigarette)

Jaune: (Nods)

Melanie: I'm waiting for the miracle to happen. It'll take one to get me out of the mess I'm in.

Ren: And what would that miracle be?

Melanie: The return, of course~. (Smiles) Now, I know I'm not from "around" here - I would only be hitchhiking. The Return is a big hit in the industrial espionage circles. A lot of desperate, seedy types there. All screwed in this unipolar world.

Jaune: What is "the Return"?

Melanie: You mean you don't know, sir? I thought you were from around here. You look like "Mr. Vale".

Jaune: Humor me.

Melanie: The Return, well... It's part urban myth - part political science. It's a fool's hope, sir, and it's also all I've got. They say there's going to be an "event". That it'll happen somewhere here. (Look around, Looks up) In Vale. In the City of Vale. They say it'll happen soon - and that it'll change everything.

Ren: Huíguī. (Furrows brow, Jots notes)

Jaune: Some political event? How do you know about this?

Melanie: Like I said - there's talk. In the competitive intelligence crowd. A lot of people, like me, who need... a new color on the map. It's all green, you see. And that green doesn't like us.

Jaune: You came all this way for a rumor?

Melanie: No, I came all this way on a false passport and some lien. To hide, mostly. In the most volatile part of the San Animus Strait, where it's easiest to disappear. Where the walls are still porous and you can still slip through. This is just... something to get me through the night, you know. A little "espérance".

Port: (In Jaune's mind) Still, the story influenced her choice of where to run. It must have some hidden layers.

Jaune: How soon will this happen?

Melanie: Soon. But it's been "soon" for almost half a century now, so don't hold your breath. No need to worry, Mr. Hunter, (Looks to Ren) I'm sure the streets will not erupt in seditious violence just yet.

Ren: These streets? (Looks over railing) I'm not so sure, Miss.

Jaune: The "Return" of what, exactly?

Melanie: Of the king? Of the nation? Of commonism? Return of an investment? (Tilts) I don't know, exactly. It's meant to be vague, like promises usually are. But at the same time, I mean - things can't go on like this forever. Something will give. It always does.

Jaune: Is this why you said you would like to surrender in a "free" Vale?

Melanie: Yeah... (Looks up, Looks to Jaune) I guess it is.

Oobleck: (In Jaune's mind) So she thinks - at least partly - that this Return will feature a self-governing City of Vale. She has already placed her bets.

Jaune: Thank you. One last question. Do you REALLY think it will happen?

Melanie: I do. (Lights another cigarette)

Jaune: So do I.

Ren: I agree, Mr. Huntsman. (Looks to sea) Something is coming - trouble. It will be a hard spring. I don't know what exactly, but... (Shakes head)

Melanie: Something is happening in this city. (Nods, Puffs smoke) I can feel it. When I'm out here at night.

Qrow: Her thought trails off. The wind picks up again. Above her, a great cumulus cloud rises - ready to fall down as precipitation. April will come, then May; a month, maybe two months from now... You're shuddering. The feeling dissipates. The thought ends.

Jaune: ...Let's return to this later. (Leaves)

“Let me take you down

'Cause I'm going to strawberry fields

Nothing is real

And nothing to get hung about

Strawberry fields forever”

“Living is easy with eyes closed..,” Y/N sang as she was getting ready to get to her work and some breakfast at the nearby diner.

Fixing her shirt’s collar, she glanced at the mirror and looked at her outfit. She thoroughly examined the shirt, loose pants, and belt she wore.

Satisfied with her attire, she took her bag and the newspaper, which had just come, and ventured outside.

Y/N was an elementary school teacher, being rather new at her job, and in the mid-session, there were still a few things new to her so she made an effort to reach school a little bit earlier as the timing for teachers was by seven, two hours early, to sort out her documents and entries of the class.

She opted to get her breakfast at Metro diner, it made more sense, less time as it was nearer, more convenient, and price…uh.. let's not go there. It was still cheap though, for its taste.

The diner was located at the first cross-section of her home, on the left side. Adorned with red led lights on its roof beside the name, glass doors and glass windows.

As she was nearing it she bumped into a tall man, soon a string of apologies from both sides followed as they picked up their stuff, as she got up, Y/N realized how handsome the man was, he had fox-like eyes, rather intimidating.

“Are you okay, ma’am?” the man asked.

“Yes, yes I am. Thank you for picking up the stuff.” Y/N replied.

“Mention not,” the man said and gave a comforting smile, going his way.

As she entered the diner, the bells chimed alerting the staff of another customer, the diner was fairly quiet for the timing was ridiculously early, then she sat at the table paralleling a beautiful tree.

Soon after, a man came to her, asking “Y/N, is it the usual?”

“Yes, it is,” Y/N replied, smiling.

The man nodded and smiled back.

The people knew her at this diner, she was a regular, coming in at around 6:30 am, to have her breakfast while reading the newspaper to kick start her day.

As she was quietly reading her newspaper, she came across the obituary, there was an old man’s picture, it read:

“Oh..” Y/N said, then before she could think, her eyes darted to the date, “Huh? 28th July? Isn't it the 27th of July today? Shouldn't it be the 26th of July?” She checked the date to make sure on her mobile, it indeed is 27th July. She was confused but chalked it up to the misprinting of the date. It's quite common albeit peculiar for an obituary because date matters a lot here. What could she do? She just shrugged her shoulders and went off her day.

As the evening ascended, and her work day came to an end, Y/N was on her way back, enjoying the tranquility of the evening.

*LOUD CRASH SOUND*

Suddenly, there was a loud crashing sound and Y/N instinctively covered her ears, looking around with scared eyes. When she saw smoke coming out of a place in front of the nearby building, she sprinted and saw a car reduced to nothing but metal trash crashed into a wall and a bit of… flowing blood. People had already gathered around and called the ambulance and police.

Y/N asked the people around her about what happened, and some people told her that Ben Smith, an old man, had crashed into the wall with the drunk driven vehicle, but the driver jumped out of the car a few meters back when he couldn't control it. The old man must have died, it takes no intelligence to figure it out.

Y/N was in a daze, she couldn't think straight, fortunately, she reached her home safely, and as soon as she did, she grabbed the newspaper and checked the obituary section. Nothing was there. No Ben Smith news.

Y/N had various thoughts racing, “The section was not printed today. Ben Smith news..it will be printed tomorrow then? It aligns with the date too..it wasn't a misprint but why isn't it here now? What was it? Did I hallucinate? Was it a dream? A Deja Vu? UGH, I DON'T KNOW” Y/N said as she grabbed her hair. Her head was hurting but there was no way, so she decided to drink some tea to calm her mind and went to sleep.

A few days passed by like that, and by now she was in better spirits and had convinced herself that,” it was a dream, a deja vu kind, lots of things happen as you live, this happened to me. Just that.”

Just so on another lovely day, going by the same routine as she ordered her food and was reading quietly when she heard the faint sound of songs. Who is listening to them so loud? She thought and looked beside her and found a young man, she saw him again clearly and “OH!! This is the man from a few days back! He was listening in his sky-blue headphones to music, he seemed pretty engrossed there scribbling something on his notepad, too much to notice how the very few people there were now looking at him because of the noise.

Y/N gently nudged him, he paused and looked at her with curious eyes and instantly recognized her, “Hey, we met again!” At that moment he seemed like an excited puppy, Y/N replied happily, “Yes, we did.” Then minding the concerning matter, Y/N gestured towards the customers, then to his headphones.

“Your headphones. We could hear the sounds of whatever you were listening to and it was quite an interruption” Y/N explained.

“Oh, oh, I am sorry, I will turn the volume down. Enjoy your breakfast lovely stranger” The guy said, rather flirty, Y/N was too stunned to say anything but giggled regardless, “Cute”.

“And the parliament said… Oh, so the thief got caught, hmm..” as Y/N was going through all the daily news her eyes fell on the obituary section again, she swore to not check it out any soon because of the incident but her eyes fell on it anyway, something about the photo of the deceased caught her eyes, they shot to the person next to her,she was confused and little bit scared, really, then she saw the date, it was the date, 30th August.

Huh? She started reading the obituary:

“Oh my god…” Y/N's eyes widened at what she just read as she covered her mouth and she had to check, she called out to Yeonjun, “Hey, what is this??” Y/N asked him, “What?” Yeonjun asked as Y/N showed the newspaper article.

“Nathan Wil, 14/5/67 - 28/7/25, died because of-” Yeonjun was reading as Y/N took it away from him and looked at the paper again, the article was gone, vanished from sight.

“Uh…do you need help?” Yeonjun asked, perplexed at the behavior of the kind stranger in front of him.

Y/N was silent, it felt like someone was joking with her, but it was likely not, Was I dreaming? I swear I read the whole article..it can't be a dream, not again, but what do I do anyway. She thought. Her mind was very uneasy, but seeing how he would die soon, she had to say something all she could muster was “No, I am sorry I am kinda out of it today. Haha.” Y/N laughed awkwardly, Yeonjun gave her a comforting smile saying,” Happens to the best of us, don’t worry.”

“Hmm”.

[At the school]

All teachers were asked to gather in one place, apparently a new dance teacher was appointed for the school. The curious murmurings of the teachers filled the staff room as they wondered how the new addition to the school staff would be.

“Good Morning everyone, I hope you had a good morning.” the principal said. Some teachers internally rolled their eyes because who on earth calls their staff freaking two hours early and expects their morning to be all good and glowy, the principal saw their expression, brushed it off, and said, “We will be welcoming a new teacher at our school. Everyone, welcome, Choi Yeonjun.”

A young and handsome man entered from the door, he was wearing a polo t-shirt and black fit pants, he looked around and his eyes locked with Y/N, who was quite frankly in a daze, “Choi Yeonjun, Yeonjun, the fox eyes guy.” she thought amusedly. Yeonjun smiled at her warmly briefly before moving on to give his introduction.

“Hello everyone, I am Choi Yeonjun. I will be the dance teacher for the students of this school from today onwards. I hope we all go along well, please help me adjust. Thank You!” He said, full of enthusiasm that only a newbie could possess.

“Okay, disperse everyone, introduce yourself along the way, now back to work.” The principal commanded and went to his office.

Now that he was out, all the teachers were visibly relaxed introducing themselves to him, then Y/N came, “Hello, Yeonjun” Y/N said raising her eyebrows, Yeonjun chuckled, his smile made his eyes smaller and crinkle, his smile lines had whiskers kind folding it was so pretty. “Hello, Miss lovely confused stranger.” Yeonjun teased.

For a moment Y/N was worried again, but she hid it quickly as she didn't want him to doubt her or worry.

“Oh come on! Mistakes happen Mr. Yeonjun, and I am Y/N, 5th grade homeroom teacher. Nice to meet you.” Y/N introduced herself, extending her hand for a handshake, Yeonjun took it gleefully.

“Nice to meet you too, Miss Y/N. Hope we can get along.” Yeonjun said, coyly.

“Hope we can get along.”

[After a few days]

Only in a matter of a few days, Yeonjun had become the favorite teacher of all the students. His moves were smooth, sharp, and clear. He truly was a great dancer and a great teacher. He was a gentle dance teacher—well, as gentle as you can be while teaching dance. He was quite strict, too, and above all, he had that alluring subtle charm. You could not ignore him even if you wanted. The students loved him. Truly, a young talent had come here.

Though, students were not the only ones admiring him so much, teachers, particularly one were involved too. Over the days, Yeonjun and Y/N had developed a friendship, being the only young people among the school teaching staff, they were quite quick to do that. They would spend their lunches together, talking about mundane stuff, and sometimes life in general, they get each other, that's the most they could ask for.

“Hey Y/N!! How about we get together and play games today after work??” Yeonjun asked, expectantly.

“Really? I would love to!! Let's do that. My work ends at four. Wait for me until then. Where will we go?” Y/N asked.

“The PC room near the station, how does that sound?? It has delivery places nearby so we can get food too!” Yeonjun suggested, already dying to run out of the school.

“Woah sounds good!” Y/N said, practically jumping up and down.

Now finally off the work, Y/N could see the man waiting for her by the bench near the school gate. She sneakily went up to him and decided to surprise or scare him. Take it how you will.

“BOOOOO!!!!!!!!!” shouted Y/N, putting her hands up like she would grab him.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH” Yeonjun exclaimed and crouched down on the bench with a scared-out-of-my-mind expression on his face, eyes wide and mouth agape.

“Pft HAHAHAHAHAHHAH, Oh my God Yeonjun, what was… oh my…” Y/N laughed loudly while clutching her stomach, holding on to the bench for her dear life.

Yeonjun recovered quickly saying “Ayyy Y/N, my heart just leaped out of my chest, just wait, you will get it back soon!” Yeonjun said, half threateningly with a sheepish smile on his face.

“As you say Sirrr” Y/N said, bursting out laughing again.

“AAAAAA”.

“YEONJUN PASS ME THE DAMN GUN”

“LET ME ELIMINATE HIM FIRST”

“NO WE WILL LOSE BE QUICK”

“WAIT A SECOND AHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

“WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY”

Yeonjun’s screams erupted as he lost the game, making the duo lose the game.

“AHH we were doing so good,” Y/N said as she grabbed her hair.

“Ahh, that little fucker, if only he didn't..ahhh” Yeonjun sighed defeatedly.

.

“Shall we take a stroll now?” Y/N asked.

Yeonjun, though still groaning in despair after his great defeat, reluctantly nodded. Y/N grinned at his behavior, taking his hand to go with him.

“So Yeonjun, how long have you loved dancing?”

“Hmmm maybe for 6-7 years?” Yeonjun said, scratching his head.

“Oh, then doesn’t it mean you started loving dancing at 18-19?”

“Oh yeah.”

“The way you dance honestly, seems like you have been doing it since you were out of the womb! I think you are the best dancer I have ever known personally!”

“Ahh, Thank you~~” Yeonjun thanked shyly.

After silence, he says, “Y/N, how many dancers have you known personally?”

“Huh? Ha? What?” Y/N was caught off guard by the sudden question sensing the teasing tone underneath.

She looked at Yeonjun, who was looking at her with one eyebrow raised. It was funny but not in her mind to laugh but rather to give an answer.

“I have…known….dancers…” She said slowly keeping her eyes on the trees surrounding them.

“Huh? What did you say?” Yeonjun mocked while putting his hands up to his ear pretending to hear her.

“I SAID NO! I HAVEN’T KNOWN ANY!!” Y/N shouted in Yeonjun’s ears.

The man quite literally flew to the other side, by the impact of the sound belting out an “AHHHH” on the way.

“Ha! Told ya!” Y/N pointed at him while sticking her tongue out at him.

Yeonjun got up and started doing the three-two-one motion with his hand with a mischievous look on his face, Y/N understood the cue and started running away from him and Yeonjun followed suit, their waves of laughter were as clear as day in the starry night sky.

Having finished their ‘walk’ they were now at the entrance to Y/N’s apartment building.

“Wish we could do this more,” Yeonjun said, hands in his pocket with a shy look.

“Hmm yup, we should, I had a lot of fun today, Thanks to you,” Y/N said and smiled sincerely at him.

“I had a lot of fun too. Uh… Thanks for today anddddd hope you sleep very well, Dear Y/N!” Yeonjun spoke the last part rather fast.

“Hope you sleep well too, Yeonjun. Have a safe trip home.” Y/N said while leaning against the wall sideways.

Yeonjun gulped at the scene, and diverted his eyes, then muttered a small goodbye, skipping away to his place.

Y/N too went to her place with the happy memories of today.

________________________________________________

Contrary to her mood during the daytime, Y/N’s nights gradually became a mix of tossing-turning and overthinking.

“YEONJUN WAIT DO NOT GO THERE PLEASE” Y/N shouted desperately, wanting Yeonjun to stop.

“YA Y/N, don't worry, I am good, I will be good!” Yeonjun said as he spread his arms on the empty path when suddenly;

*THACK*

“YEONJUN!”

“YEONJUN!” Y/N woke up with an ear-piercing scream, her scream, reaching her hands out as if attempting to save him.

She looked around the room, the reality made her clutch her chest, “Huh..it was a dream? Okay, okay, let's calm down, everything is okay, Yeonjun is okay, …is he? Is he okay? Is Yeonjun okay?” Her eyes widened and her pulse rate quickened, she grabbed her phone and called Yeonjun, completely unaware of the time of the night.

Yeonjun picked up, after about fifteen seconds, “Hello Y/N. Is everything okay?” He asked, slightly worried because of the unusual timing of the call.

“Yeonjun, are you okay?” Y/N asked carefully.

“Huh? Yes…yes, I am okay Y/N. What happened? Did you have a bad dream?” Yeonjun asked.

“Hmm, it was a nightmare.”

“Oh shoot…a nightmare, are you scared, do you want to video call?” Yeonjun suggested.

“No, I am, I can manage…a video call, please?”

“As you say, ma’am!”

The screen of Y/N's phone lit up, showing the incoming video call, she swiped to pick it up and Yeonjun's face appeared there, smiling warmly at her with a bit of concern etching his face.

“Y/N, dear Y/N,” Yeonjun said, looking at Y/N’s face thoroughly, examining for whatever emotion he could understand through the screen barrier. What he was getting was a bit of a weary face, did she not sleep well? Yeonjun thought.

“Yeonjun, hi.”

Hearing Y/N’s voice Yeonjun relaxed a little, a long stretch of silence engulfed them as they looked at each other, and felt comforted.

“I had a bad dream.”

“What was it?” He asked, assuringly, like he would genuinely listen and comfort her worries. Love, he wanted to ask what it was, love? But it was too early for that.

“I saw that, you,...” Y/N hesitated and paused a bit.

“Go on, I will listen to it,” Yeonjun assured her to go on.

“I saw that you died, you were hit by a speeding vehicle,” Y/N confessed.

There was a short silence as Yeonjun let the dream process through his mind and to think what to answer next as his Y/N was scared.

“Y/N, darling, I am here with you, aren't I? Look at me as you want because I am not going anywhere.”

“Yeah,” Y/N replied quietly, while reeling him in her mind like a photo, in case he disappeared, he was so handsome, it must be illegal to be this attractive.

“I am here, okay? We will meet tomorrow, and hang out somewhere again. Where do you want to go?” Yeonjun asked, in an attempt to cheer her up and get her mind off.

“I want to…watch a movie,” Y/N replied.

“Umm, there is this feel-good movie there, it was released a while ago, but it's being shown on the screen as there are no major releases, it's “The Intern”, what do you think?”

“I think it will be good! I loved it the first time I watched it, but it was on television. I want to watch it on the big screen.” Y/N said, now visibly happy and relaxed.

“Okay, then let's go tomorrow, it's the weekend anyway, and then we can go have dinner at a fancy-ass restaurant,” Yeojun said, dramatically.

“Yes, it will be fun!”

Now, as the silence dawned upon them, Yeonjun wanted to ask something, he had been wanting to ask that for a few days, but didn't get the chance to. He felt like he had to, it's now or never. He had to ask her permission to pursue her.

“Y/N, so, it's a date?” Yeonjun asked, a small worry in his mind that he would destroy the beautiful thing they had together.

Y/N was shocked at first, and avoided eye contact with him, then, Yeonjun could see, her ears were red, and he chuckled at the cute sight.

“Yes, it's a date,” she replied quickly.

“So, can I pursue you, my lady?”

“Don't get ahead of yourself!! And yes you can.” Y/N replied smugly while suppressing a smile equivalent to a teenager first falling in love.

“Okay then, Goodnight Miss Y/N. Let us see you tomorrow, bye.” Yeonjun said, waving at her.

“Hmm, good night Yeonjun.” Y/N waved back, cutting the call.

The heaviness in Y/N's chest before the call was filled with a funny feeling now, was it butterflies? She wondered.

Like this, Y/N fell asleep happily, she needed to sleep well to look refreshed and pretty tomorrow!

The morning came and the same routine continued. Y/N and Yeonjun couldn't see each other all day because of extremely busy schedules given weekend extracurricular events.

Soon enough, the day settled into the color yellowish orange hue. Time of their meeting came.

“Yeonjun!” Y/N shouted pointing at him before starting to run towards him.

Yeonjun heard her voice and whipped his head in her direction. Watching her run towards him, he also flayed his arms in a dramatic motion and ran towards her. Both of them got into a dramatic hug. Watching this some people gushed at their cuteness whereas some rolled their eyes.

“Shall we go princess?” Yeonjun asked Y/N, extending his hand towards her.

Y/N took a few seconds to process the new nickname she was given, her cheeks now had a shade of red tinted. She took his hand, and they went on their date.

_____________________________________

The couple, now having watched the movie, was going to a fancy restaurant.

Walking their way to it, chatting about mundane things happily.

“The movie was sooo good, Yeonjun!!” Y/N remarked, slightly squeaking like a rabbit.

“I know right?? It really made me emotional, like it's not exactly to be emotional about but it was so lovely? movie. It made my heart flutter.” Yeonjun said, keeping his hand on his chest.

“It was such a cool one! Oh, And “Evil Dead Rising” is releasing soon too!! Shall we watch it???”

“Huh??? No way… I will be too scared, I don't like horror movies Y/N!!” Yeonjun whined akin to a child.

“Okayyy!! But, I will teach you in future how to be calm during it. What do you think?” Y/N asked, raising her eyebrows.

“Oh really? It better work. Then pinky promise you will teach me?” Yeonjun asked for confirmation, extending his pinky finger.

“I promise, I will teach you!” Y/N accepted and locked her pinky finger with him taking the promise of tomorrow.

_________________________

“Well done everyone!!” Yeonjun said, clapping. “Practice what we learned today at your home and clear out your moves, alright? We can do this.”

“Yes Sir!” was heard in unison.

And as the students got out of the room, their chatter illuminated the hallway. Y/N excused herself, it was her free time, so she went to see Yeonjun.

Slowly creeping up to him, she back-hugged him gently.

“How's the preparation going?”

“Good. The students,Yeonjun started while rubbing his forehead,”they work really hard Y/N..”

“They really do, don't they? You worked hard too Yeonjun, let's go have lunch, it's about time.” Y/N said while rubbing his shoulder with a reassuring nod.

The school was having an inter state dance competition, with a twist that even the dance teachers are to be participants just like students, so Yeonjun alongside his students was working very hard to make that happen. Knowing him, Y/N just knew he wouldn't leave any stone unturned.

________________________________

The young couple was enjoying their lunch happily at the school park, taking in the cold summer breeze, as the daffodils beside their bench fluttered. It was a lovely time to be in.

“Oh my god, wow” Yeonjun commented in a dramatic satisfied accent, while widening his eyes for an impact “the food is delicious Y/N! It's really good.”

“Thank you.” Y/N said while eating her own lunch.

“No, but someday I will cook Ramyeon for you. I am telling you, I am really good at cooking it.”

“You really love it, huh?”

“Obviously! It's the best, it's the love of my life!”

“Eh? Love of your life? Are you for real?”

“Ayy, don't worry! You do come second to it Y/N!” Yeonjun said while patting her shoulders proudly.

Y/N was half in disbelief and half amused over her lover's thoughts but agreed smugly anyway.

_________________

“And remember to have dinner, okay?”

“Okayyy”

Y/N looked at the clock saying, “it’s past 12 am now. Sleep well and sufficient, don't lose out on sleep or food an-”

“Okay Y/N! Don't you worry, okay?? I am good, and as I said I will practice for a few hours then go home.” Yeonjun interrupted Y/N and her worries.

He was confused at her sudden extra concern, she was always like that but today was specifically a lot, he wasn't complaining, if he were to be honest, “I kinda like it” it was fun for him.

“Mhmm…do take care Yeonjun, Good Night, let's meet tomorrow.”

“Yup, let's meet tomorrow! Good Night Darling~~” Yeonjun wished in a sickly sweet voice.

“Good Night Junnie”

*beep beep beep*

The call has ended.

Y/N jumped to the other side of the bed, looking at the calendar and the dates, and said, “It is past 30th August now…it's 31st August now, Yeonjun is alive, he is alive, Yeonjun is alive!” She after heaven knows how many days, breathed a big sigh of relief, now she could truly enjoy her time with him, truly enjoy her life without the distress of any impending doom.

It had been a few days and such a big thing rather a dream, which was so real had passed quietly, Y/N wanted to tell yeonjun everything, just to get this thing off her mind. She decided to do that one evening.

Yeonjun and Y/N’s legs were sprawled over each other, as they watched a comedy movie, laughing their guts out. The couple were eating their pizzas deliciously, they had gotten an off day after a while, even from competition practice. They were spending it in a rather chill way. As the movie ended, Y/N got ready to tell him everything.

“Uhm yj, there is something, I need to tell you about, a month or two back, when I went for breakfast at the diner, the day I met you!”

“Oh oh I remember.”

“Yes, so that day…..

[20 minutes later]

….and that was written in your obituary. I was scared but it was too irrational while simultaneously being too much of a coincidence to ignore. You ended up becoming a teacher at our school and…” she sighed deeply, “the date Yeonjun, it has already passed. You are safe, we are good.” She smiled while speaking, her eyes almost teary by realising everything all at once.

Yeonjun was silent, he didn't know what to make of the entire situation, a part of him was believing it and fearing for his life, a part of him was scolding the former for irrational way of thinking but the most prominent was to comfort his love.

So, he quietly went nearer to her and hugged her gently, whispering sweet nothings into her ear. She hugged him back, filled with relief and a lighter chest. He was stroking her hair gently, tangling and detangling his own fingers in her hair.

They decided to sleep and cuddle together for the rest of the night, they were drained physically from watching all those movies and emotionally from Y/N's confession.

While cuddling together on her bed, she whispered, “Yeonjun?”

A soft hmm came from behind.

“Are you awake?” she asked in a delicate manner, afraid to wake him up.

“Of course, If you want to say something then why not?”

“When you win the competition, cuz I know you will, alright? What will you do then?”

“You have got more confidence than me, huh?” Yeonjun said while tickling her sides, Y/N started laughing.

The tickling made Y/N turn towards him, which resulted in them facing each other under the dim night light. Grinning faces looking so beautiful on them.

They were admiring each other for a moment with lovesick eyes, ready to drop anything and everything for each other.

“Yes I do!” Y/N affirmed.

“Okay miss, now as for your question, hmm, what will I do?..it will be something special, something I have been wanting to do for a long time.”

“Oh, what could it be?”

“Madam, since you are so sure of me winning, how about we find this out on the day of the competition? Won't it be more fun?” Yeonjun said while smirking.

“Shut up!! I want to know now Junnieeee.” Y/N whined in his arms.

“Nah, nope will do y/nnnnnm” Yeonjun whined back.

“Hahahaha”

“Hahahaha”

“You were so childish!”

“Who started it??”

“I don't care!”

“I don't care either!”

As he said that, Their noses touched while smiling at each other, their hearts full of love for each other. They slept like babies that night.

______________________________

The competition day had finally came, and Yj was getting ready wearing his remaining accessories while children were in their own assigned dressing rooms.

A *ping* was heard, followed by 2-3 more of the same sounds. Yeonjun checked his mobile. There were a few text messages from Y/N.

Then:

“Choi Yeonjun, it's your team's turn!”

“Ah! Coming!” He quickly put his phone down and went backstage with his students.

Y/N had gotten a seat in the front her, by not-very-blatantly asking for it, basically request her senior teacher about her ‘situation’ , a handsome 5 '11 situation that is.

“Ladies and gentlemen, our next participant will be from Infraviol high school, please applause for the team!” the MC of the program announced.

The applause filled the stadium, and energy was already high from the previous performances. As the song started, the students and Yeonjun quickly got into the position and started dancing.

{Baby, you can find me under the lights

Diamonds under my eyes

Turn the rhythm up, don't you wanna just

Come along for the ride?}

The theme was pink, Yeonjun was wearing a pink suit too. Y/N watched the team's dance, though her eyes couldn't help but fixated into Yeonjun. It wasn't only for the attraction and love she has for him, it was also that he shone on the stage brighter than any star.

His moves were delicately sharp, and he blended well with the students who showcased their top notch perfomance with utmost sincerity as well. And as he promised, he suddenly blew an air kiss to Y/N which she duly catched, he caught that act smiling a little mid performance as the song went on.

{Lately, I've been movin' close to the edge

Still be lookin' my best

I stay on the beat, you can count on me

I ain't missin' no steps}

They continued dancing till the song ended and then the audience was more hyped than ever with the one hell of a performance, the applause roared across the hall, with each person clapping with infectious energy.

The participants were supposed to wait in the waiting room while visitors were allowed to go in, the teachers were gathered around the students and Yeonjun, praising then and hyping them up, the team looked tired but satisfied, Y/N too went and distributed Madeline cookies to the students, she at last came to Yeonjun who was now standing a little far away from everyone seemingly waiting for her, as she extending the cookie saying, “You shone the brightest Junnie, you really killed it!”

“Thank you, means a lot coming from you.” Yeonjun said as he took the cookies but..

“Huh? Yeonjun? What is this?”

He gave Y/N a crumpled paper chit.

“Shh, thanks for this, open this later, we need to go now, announcement of winners will be done soon.’

“Oh? Huh? Okay” Y/N said with a puzzled expression and opened a few minutes later.

On the note it was written:

______________________________________

“So, the winner is……….TEAM INFRAVIOL!!!!!”

“WOHOOOOOOOOOO” the audience cheered at once, leaving a few which was understandable given the competition energy.

“Here is your trophy”

“Thank you, Ah, okay, so first of all I would like to thank first and foremost my dear students who worked hard day and night to achieve such great results in their dance, I am genuinely saying this, I have never met as sincere students as them, so Thank you guys, and..”

“THANK YOU TO YOU TOO SIR!” the students cheered at once in unison.

“Ah, thank you” Yeonjun said while smiling, “I would like to thank my school and the teachers for supporting us throughout, personally I would like to thank my girlfriend too, she was the reason I was able to pull through this, so, thank you everyone!”

The hall filled with ”Ooohhh”s and “Ahhh”s at the romantic mention. Everyone surprised but still giggling at it. Y/N was, too say the least, stunned.

The winners were separated for a photo and Yeonjun send with them, after a while as everyone went Y/N got time to go to Yeonjun, who was waiting for her at the stairs.

“His legs are for days” was Y/N’s first thought upon arriving. As she did, Yeonjun didn't waste a second to pull her in for a tight hug.

“You won.”

“Hmm I did.”

“You really did so well, I am proud of you.”

“Thank you love.” He whispered in her ears as he detached himself away from her, “Now, if I ask something, will you agree?”

“If it's something I can do.”

“It's something only you can do.” He said as he got on one of his knee and extended his hand holding a bracelet, a breathed deeply before saying:

“Y/N, my love.

I won't say my love was first sight, you looked cute to me but that's all I really thought.

But after spending these past few months with you, talking with you, listening to you, staying by your side, I have come to realize how important you have become to me.

Now it's difficult for me to envision a future without you, so dear, will you be my, the one and only Choi Yeonjun’s, one and only girlfriend?

Will you be mine, darling?”

By the end, Y/N had tears in her eyes, she was covering her mouth. She did managed to croak out some words.

“Yes, yes I will be! I love you Yeonjun”

“I love you too my darling.” Yeonjun said as he hugged her.

He came near her lips, silently asking for permission which she gave with a nod, his lips touched her for a moment as a peck, as soft as clouds but it felt electrifying for a moment.

Y/N went in for a second kiss this time, it was a tender kiss, as if casting a spell to prolong the moment, at the moment the world had stopped for them, and they were the only ones existing in it. As their lips separated, their foreheads linked together, savouring the once in a lifetime moment.

The car was being driven back home, Yeonjun on the steering wheel, Y/N in the charge of the music, they both were singing along the lyrics,

Can I go where you go?

Can we always be this close forever and ever?

And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever)

You're my Lover

As the glances of deep but puppy love were passed between them with an ease they hadn't known a few months and love they were feeling for the very first time.

Yeonjun put his one hand on Y/N's thigh, she entwined their hands together on her thigh, squeezing his hands gently, whispering an “I love you” between the song playing.

Yeonjun smiled, he felt like his whole world was beside him, he would give up his life to protect her, he couldn't imagine his world without her, “Heck, I doubt I can live without her.” he did wondered were these feelings a sign of nothing but the honeymoon phase they are in or will it actually be true, well, he was determined to prove his thoughts in his and Y/N’s long term future together.

The walking footsteps in the empty being hallway could be heard in the dead of the night, Yeonjun and Y/N were walking to the latter’s apartment door, as they reached there.

“Yeonjun.”

“Y/N, you are home.”

“You are my home.”

“I wish I could come in with you, but I need to wake up early tomorrow and drive off to my uncle's yard.”

“To meet him?”

“That and to get some oranges, the winter has come.”

“Hmm, the report says it will be really cold tomorrow and the remaining of the year too.”

“Oh will it be?”

“I am not worried though, someone will keep me warm throughout the cold season.” Y/N teased.

“Ohh, I wonder who will it be~~” Yeonjun said as he pulled in Y/N for a kiss, it was deep and a firm kiss, the kind you would melt into, the kind you would not let go, the kind you would remember.

As soon as they pulled apart they went for a hug. Yeonjun kept it longer than normal, Y/N was puzzled but complied anyway, hugging him back with all the warmth she has, all for him.

“Goodbye Y/N.”

“Goodbye Yeonjun.”

Yeonjun was walking backwards now, whispering, “Good night my love, good night my life, good night,...my Y/N.”

“Good Night Yeonjun, sleep well, I love you.” Y/N said as she blew him a kiss.

“I love you too!” He said as he blew her a kiss back and went into the elevator.

Both of them took a last glance at each other until the elevator completely closed.

_________________________

The next morning dawned, it was a quiet morning, eerily quiet. Y/N have been feeling slightly uneasy since she woke up but she couldn't place her finger on the reason, “maybe because Yeonjun hadn't messaged yet? Ahh..he must be busy though, well we can meet later.”

The bell to school assembly rang loudly, as the school was to be gathered. As teachers and students were rushing to the hall, a telephone ring was heard in the principal’s office disrupting the silence.

“This is nuts! Who calls this early?!” The principal huffed as he picked up the call.

Only muffling could be heard from the telephone in the office as the principal took in the information presented on the call, his face now devoid of any emotion, grievous.

“Okay, thanks for informing. We will let Miss Y/N know this personally too.” He said as put down the phone.

He announced on his mic in the staff room, “Good Morning everyone, we will need to delay assembly for a few minutes and there is a possibility school will be closed today, details will be conveyed in a few minutes and Miss Y/N, you are requested to come to the principal's office immediately.”

All the teachers looked at each other then at Y/N who simply shrugged but internally, her heart was heavy and mind paranoid. She was scared but tried to calm herself, what could go wrong anyway? Her mind wandered as she went to the office.

In under a minute, Y/N was knocking on the door.

“Come in.”

“Good Morning Sir.”

“Good Morning Miss, have a seat.” The principal said as he gestured towards the chair in front of his desk.

“Yes Sir, Thank you.”

“So, I need to tell you this, there.. something has happened.”

“What Sir?” Y/N, her heart thumping very loudly now.

He took a deep breath as he said,” Sir Yeonjun.. it's about him, Miss Y/N. Sir Yeonjun..he is no more. The authorities say that…-

Numb.

“Huh?” Y/N could hear the principal speaking, she was now looking outside the window. The time was passing painfully slowly. She didn't know when but the principal was quiet, now looking at her mournfully.

He is no more?

Her body was moving on her own now. She slowly got up from the seat.

He is no more…

She got out of the office now, what was she finding? An empty space, maybe. She couldn't think. She couldn't think of anything. Except,

He is no more.

She found a room, it was to be made later, she closed the door.

She slid down the door, head in her hands, her eyes were wide. She was mute.

Yeonjun is no more.

An attempt to take in a small breath.

An ear-piercing scream was heard throughout the school, even the walls shuddered in fear.

The birds flew away.

The trees were quiet as if mourning in silence.

The gravity of the situation was being felt by everyone in the place.

The principal announced the news to the school, declaring a mourning time for two days, prompting the closing of the place.

It was no ordinary accident, as the local news said, “Choi Yeonjun, a young man in his twenties, was returning from his relatives place in the wee hours of this morning, when his car experienced a brake failure leading to his car crashing into the nearby river. We wish for his soul to rest in peace. Thank You.”

The next morning, an obituary was published in the newspaper of a young man, which was read by every single person in the town.

The town had said it,

For the next five years, a young lady came to

the man’s grave every single week.

The next fifteen years after that,

every single month, she came.

And the next thirty years of her life,

every single year, the old lady dropped a

flower at her first love's grave with grace.

Author's note: It was fun writing this. The last scene was quite heavy for me to write but we ride! Thank you to everyone~

Switchgear Solutions for Solar and Wind Energy Systems

Why Switchgear Matters in Solar and Wind Systems

Switchgear plays a central role in controlling, isolating, and protecting electrical equipment. In renewable energy applications, it helps:

· Manage power flow from variable energy sources.

· Protect systems from faults or overloads.

· Ensure seamless grid integration and disconnection when needed.

Unlike traditional power plants, solar and wind systems generate intermittent power, requiring switchgear that can handle dynamic loads and frequent switching.

Challenges in Renewable Energy Applications

Here are some of the unique challenges renewable energy systems face — and how they impact switchgear selection:

1. Variable Output

Solar and wind energy production fluctuates based on weather and time of day. This demands switchgear that can:

· Handle frequent load changes.

· Operate reliably under fluctuating voltages and currents.

2. Decentralized Generation

Unlike centralized grids, solar and wind systems are often spread out across multiple locations.

· Modular, compact switchgear is preferred for such installations.

· Smart monitoring becomes critical to manage performance remotely.

3. Harsh Environments

Wind turbines operate at high altitudes, and solar farms are often exposed to heat, dust, or salt.

· Switchgear needs to be rugged, weather-resistant, and have high IP ratings.

· Outdoor switchgear enclosures and temperature management are essential.

Key Features of Switchgear for Solar & Wind

When designing or upgrading renewable energy systems, look for switchgear that offers:

1. Remote Monitoring and Control

Smart switchgear integrated with IoT technology allows operators to track real-time data, detect faults early, and optimize system performance.

2. High Interruption Capacity

Wind and solar systems may experience voltage spikes. Modern switchgear provides high breaking capacities to safely interrupt fault currents.

3. Modular Design

Allows for easy upgrades and maintenance — crucial for scaling renewable installations.

4. Eco-Friendly Design

Look for SF₆-free switchgear that uses clean air or other sustainable alternatives to reduce environmental impact.

5. Hybrid Capabilities

Switchgear that can connect both AC and DC sources is increasingly valuable in mixed-source grids.

LV, MV, and HV Switchgear for Renewables

· Low Voltage (LV) Switchgear: Used in residential or small-scale solar systems. Compact, safe, and cost-effective.

· Medium Voltage (MV) Switchgear: Ideal for commercial and industrial solar/wind applications.

· High Voltage (HV) Switchgear: Essential for utility-scale wind farms or solar plants feeding into the national grid.

Each type requires specific protection, metering, and automation components tailored to its load and system requirements.

Final Thoughts

Switchgear is the backbone of any successful solar or wind energy system. As these technologies become more mainstream, the demand for resilient, intelligent, and environmentally friendly switchgear solutions will continue to rise.

Whether you’re an energy consultant, project developer, or facility manager, choosing the right switchgear today will set the stage for long-term efficiency, safety, and scalability.

[33-108]

Music holds a unique mystical power because it engages sound—the most subtle and primordial of sensory experiences—and the sense of hearing, which corresponds to akasha, or ether, in Indian metaphysics. Among the five great elements (mahabhutas), akasha is the subtlest, the first to emerge from the unmanifest. It is not simply space in the physical sense, but the vibrational substratum that makes manifestation possible. Because sound is the specific quality/guna of akasha, music becomes a direct expression of the subtle forces underlying the material world.

Hearing, unlike vision or touch, does not require physical proximity. Sound can envelop, permeate, and transcend space. It moves through akasha and, more profoundly, reveals akasha. This makes music not merely art, but a form of cosmic communion—a gateway into the inner structure of consciousness itself.

In Kashmir Shaivism, the cosmos unfolds from the vibration of pure consciousness—Shiva. This primordial vibration gives rise to nada, the subtle, unstruck sound, which exists prior to any physical articulation. Nada is not heard with the ears but known intuitively, resonating with the very pulse of awareness. As this vibratory current condenses into expression, it manifests as shabda—audible sound and speech. The Sanskrit alphabet itself is considered not a human invention, but a divine revelation, with each syllable encoding an act of creation—a tattva, a pulse of Shiva-Shakti, a doorway to a specific mode of being.

This sacred descent of sound is governed and guided by Saraswati, the goddess of wisdom, speech, music, and inspiration. She is the divine intelligence that animates shabda and gives form to formless vibration. The Saraswati River, with which she is intimately linked, is not merely a geographic feature but a metaphysical symbol—a terrestrial mirror of the internal sushumna nadi, the central channel through which mystical knowledge flows. Just as Saraswati presides over the revelation of sacred speech, the river that bears her name is seen as a conduit through which the Vedas were received and transmitted—both in physical space and within the subtle body. The rishis, immersed in deep meditation along its banks, were not authors but receivers of the Vedic hymns, which emerged through this sacred stream as shruti—that which is heard.

Thus, the river Saraswati becomes an outer symbol of the inner current of divine revelation, the flow of Vak through the sushumna nadi, as the subtle channel of intuition, wisdom, and sound. The goddess, the river, and the nadi form a triadic resonance—the inner, outer, and divine expressions of the same sacred vibration.

The Vedic hymns, among the oldest musical expressions known to humanity, were not composed, but received—heard by the rishis as transmissions from higher planes. These mantras and hymns represent the purest vibratory expressions of the cosmos, emerging directly from the field of shabda brahman—the vibrational matrix of reality. In this light, music in its highest form is a descent from the divine—a crystallization of the primordial will to manifest, encoded in sound. The sacred hymns of the Veda are the roots of all musical systems, because they articulate the universal principles of rhythm, meter, and tone that underlie not only Indian classical music, but—at a deeper archetypal level—all global music traditions.

Music, then, is the ritual re-enactment of cosmogenesis—a microcosmic echo of the descent of pure awareness into form. Through melody, rhythm, and harmony, music mirrors the tattvic descent, bridging the subtle and the gross. Ragas and mantras, when performed with intention and inner alignment, become means of spiritual ascent, tuning the listener back to the source. This is why Vedic music and its derivative classical systems, especially when steeped in raga and mantra, carry such powerful effects on the subtle body, the mind, and the environment.

This metaphysical understanding finds a parallel in Goethe’s idea that “architecture is frozen music.”

Architecture and music are not separate disciplines, but two poles of the same ontological spectrum. Music is vibration in time, while architecture is vibration in space. Both obey the same divine mathematics—harmonic ratios, geometric proportions, and fractal recursions that are not arbitrary, but embedded in the very grammar of manifestation. What music animates dynamically, architecture encodes in stillness. A temple is a silent raga; a chant is a moving cathedral.

The Neo-Pythagorean tradition echoes these insights. For them, number was not a human abstraction but a living archetype—a vibrational law. Musical intervals like the octave and fifth were not aesthetic accidents, but revelations of cosmic order. The same harmonic principles appear in geometry, planetary motion, and the structure of ancient temples. The laws of music are the laws of creation, the ratios by which the One becomes the Many, the infinite becomes embodied.

In Indian aesthetics, this vibrational unfolding is experienced as rasa—the distilled essence or flavor of emotion and consciousness. Rasa is not merely psychological; it is ontological. When a raga or sacred song stirs rasa within the listener, it is not merely an emotional response—it is the soul remembering. Music is thus not just evocative, but anagogic—it leads the soul upward, inward, and beyond.

This continuity of sacred vibration from Vedic hymn to modern improvisation can even be felt in contemporary explorations of fusion. The works of artists like John McLaughlin with Shakti, or Shawn Lane, who studied ragas and deeply respected Indian rhythmic structures, show how Vedic music continues to be the unifying seed of global musical expression. These musicians are not merely fusing styles, but reinvoking the primordial vibration in new forms—reestablishing nada yoga through jazz, fusion, and rock. Their work exemplifies that Vedic music is not merely ancient—it is eternal, constantly reemerging where the soul seeks resonance with the real.

Thus, nada, shabda, rasa, varna, akasha, and architecture are not disparate ideas, but facets of a unified metaphysics of vibration. The Vedic hymns remain the most enduring and generative of all musical lineages because they transmit the primal pattern of creation itself. Music, when aligned with these principles, becomes not entertainment but realization. To hear is to know. To know is to resonate. And to resonate is to remember: music is the self-vibration of Shiva, made audible—channeled by Saraswati through the river of consciousness, flowing from the unmanifest into form.

“Upon Olympus”

I stand alone atop a mountain

Storming

Thunder and lightning

Ring upon Olympus

As I do

What was done by Orpheus

And attempt to seduce the gods

With music and poetics

I speak words of fire

Flame

And desire

For Hestia

And a pyre

Burns brighter

Into a spire

I take my lighter

And alight a joint

Inhaling marijuana

And then take a sip of wine

Dionysus smiles

Inside of my mind

Tonight

I look to the moon

And shoot my words high

Like arrows flying

Through the sky

Like I was hunting the stars

As they fall upon Artemis

And the moon shines

With light

So I spin and sing

Like a Pythoness

In the Oracle of Delphi

And my form evokes the heat

And passion

Of performance and poetry

As a vision

Of the golden sun appears

And I know

Apollo has seen me

I then riddle in the storm

“What does it mean

To carry a written note

To a blind man

Who can’t read

Or speak a message

To the deaf

Who can’t hear anything

If it still means something

To me”

And I hear a laugh

In the air

In the voice

Of Hermes

And I grin back

At nothing

Then I grimace

And shout back

In the air

To Ares

Do you see me

God of war

Do you see my scars

I have waged wars

Inside storms

For years

For my soul

Becoming so bold

That I killed the void

And pillaged truth

Like gold

And walk the world

Like a battlefield

Where knowledge

Is power

And I know

I know something

As truth

Is a part

Of the universe

Like an arena

For the good of good

Is this wisdom

Athena

As my blood

Burns fire

And my mind

Is inspired

I forge language

Like fire

And metal

Alchemical

With thoughts

Like wires

And logic

I forge concepts

From my wit

Like automatons

And AI

Intelligent

Synthesis

And the ground

Shakes volcanic

Erruptive

From Hephaestus

As I stand

And I kiss

The wind

And whisper

Aphrodite

As I feel my heart beat

In my chest

I know this is true for you

And the rest

That we wish

For what we think is best

And I am blessed

With empathy

And love

So do confess

To loving Love

As my heart beats in my chest

And so I dream

Of what to sew

And what to reap

For a bountiful harvest

So we can all eat

While I pray on the meter

To Demeter

And feed belief

And feel family

With humanity

In sanity

Within insanity

Senses

In nonsense

We are all the children

Of a world of darkness

Blinded

By the venomous chimera

That we forget to love each other

Like we would a lover

Or our own mothers

And I hear Hera weeping

As the sky thunders

And the rain tastes of salt

Like tears

Of passion and pain

Or the ocean and sea

Of Poseidon

Raging like a blaze

As the storm surges

Like tidal waves

And the wind howls

Into a hurricane

As I bend

Like a palm tree

And dance and flow

With with the storm

As the form

Of the world

Dances with me

And I scream

No longer alone

Upon Olympus

“I am the god

Of my own destiny”

As lightning strikes my body

And for a moment

I see Zeus and the Olympians

Smiling at my poetry

Until I am alone again

Sitting upon Olympus

A human

With language

And love

And a dream

Of the best of us

Looking For A Beta (Aziraphale/Crowley Academic!AU)

Dm me if interested, 889 word excerpt below:

The ethics board didn’t know what to do with him; Neither did the medical board or the astrological association. Dr. A.J. Crowley was an academic rockstar—for all that the term “rockstar” meant in an environment where the ratio of knitted sweaters to human beings was an astounding 3.3 sweaters for every researcher in too many layers—his name plastered somewhere on most of the papers produced by Tadfield University, as well as a hefty chunk of papers produced outside of TadU (his groundbreaking statistical analysis popping up in all sorts of odd places, although, most notably, in Aziraphale’s pub arguments). A born contrarian, the sciences had called to him. And of course they had! Science was the occupation of mule-headed pricks (see: Nicolaus Copernicus), curious entrepreneurial spirits (see: Nikola Tesla), and madmen (see: Freud). And Crowley just so happened to be all three. There wasn’t a major field of study that he didn’t have a thumb in. If there was a scientific consensus to be had on the matter, then there was also a Crowley to unrepentantly flip the bird at it.

These were the foreboding thoughts overshadowing the mind of one young (although only young by the standards of post-PhD graduates, which is to say, not young at all) Dr. Fell as he glanced, awestruck, to the other side of the University cafeteria, where Dr. A.J. Crowley sat, eating a bowl of store-bought salad. Aziraphale had been crushing—academically, of course—on Crowley ever since he had read the man’s first paper on multidimensional approaches to quantum entanglement. That Crowley was wrong in his conclusions about relativity and its subsequent angles of observation was no impediment in Aziraphale’s appreciation of his intelligence. They might have disagreed on the finer points, but Crowley’s writing was a wonder to behold. Aziraphale had nearly vibrated out of his seat upon spotting him. Nevermind that he logically understood that Crowley published papers under TadU, the same university that Aziraphale himself wrote for, and therefore bumping into him was not outside the realm of possibility. It was the principle of the matter. Aziraphale knew Crowley as a photo above a well-read author’s note; It was something else entirely to witness him, breathing, flesh and blood, as he gazed into his salad, wine coloured locks flowing down his back. Odd to know that he had poor posture, or that he forked his food around more than he actually ate. Intimate, in a strange way; That Aziraphale could quote the innermost musings of a man mere meters away from him.

Unfortunately, Aziraphale’s single player staring contest was quite suddenly put into co-op mode, as Crowley—almost like he could sense the attention goring into his back—looked up from his salad and into Aziraphale’s, now bashful, gaze. A tense moment of delicate liminality followed, Aziraphale waiting (much like a man at the gallows) for Crowley’s reaction to his impropriety. He was then surprised when Crowley's expression morphed into one of recognition, rather than one of disgust or awkwardness.

“Dr. Fell!” Crowley called, a grin overtaking the once thoughtful lines of his face. He waved one of his arms haphazardly in a ‘come-over-here’ kind of gesture, using the other to pull out a chair beside him. Aziraphale had the grace to be momentarily astonished before hurrying over to meet his academic hero.

“Dr. Crowley, It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance! I’ll be honest, I-I never expected you to know who I was… Let alone…” He let his words trail off into pitiful nothings, stuttering and red in the face.

“Just ‘Crowley’ if you will, or ‘Anthony’ if you must. And the pleasure’s all mine! I first read your work, oh… It’d have to be at least five or six years ago now. Your master’s thesis, I believe. On Paul’s doctrines.” With a leering grin, Crowley leaned forward.

“I will admit, Dr. Fell, your writing had me positively hooked.” He said it as though it were a secret, the kind you wouldn’t dare repeat to your mother. However, from what Aziraphale could tell, he just sort of spoke like that. Like someone who was constantly sharing the intricacies of some deviant sexual act for all the innocence of the actual words themselves. Every sentence that fell out of his mouth reeked of an implied “you saucy minx” like the ghost of Fran Drescher past.

“Er.” Aziraphale replied intelligently, taking a seat. Crowley seemed unperturbed by the sudden verbal ineptitude. When working with academics, you get used to an assorted array of oddball characters. It’s terribly presumptuous, and even more so unproductive, to expect them all to conform to the typical back and forth of neurotypical communication. You don’t get to become Dr. A.J. Crowley, pain in the arse to astrophysicists everywhere, by being over-particular about the oratory of one’s downtime.

“You’re wrong, of course.” He continued with an impish grin, forking his salad cheekily. Aziraphale hadn’t known someone could fork a salad cheekily, but nonetheless, here Crowley was, attempting to prove him incorrect on two fronts.

“Wrong? Dear boy, that was my master's thesis. Should you choose to debate this, I fear I’ll have the home field advantage.” His response was deliberately unaffected, a haughty tune laced with the playfulness that Crowley was absolutely drenched in.

“Unfortunately for you, I’ve read it. And, as such, I fear nothing.”

Technology's Use of Water

While water is renewable, it is finite. Its renewability depends on us using and managing our water resources responsibly.

Previous articles on this page have discussed hydropower and how it produces less waste and costs less than other resources. We have also briefly discussed how other energy sources consume water as a coolant or receptacle for waste. Entire university courses are dedicated to human uses of water.

Water Scarcity

Only 3% of water on Earth is freshwater. Of course, we need this to drink, but we need it for many more services beyond that.

Many plumbing fixtures are made of copper, which saltwater severely corrodes, same as lead and, over a longer time, PVC. Toilets on average use 1-5 gallons of water per flush. If we want to preserve freshwater by switching to saltwater plumbing, we would have to rethink and re-pipe entire plumbing systems.

We lose safe water in rain, as well. Supported by a study in Environmental Science and Technology, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in 2022 stated that rainwater is not safe to drink. Chemicals known as per-/poly-fluoroalkyl substances break down extremely slowly, and have leached from many products like cleaners, fabrics, and shampoo into the water cycle. Removing PFAS from water requires filters of activated carbon or reverse osmosis membranes, which also require frequent maintenance.

A lot of water is also not available to us because it is in ice caps and glaciers, which are estimated to be about 68% of Earth’s freshwater. This water is also being lost, because as glaciers melt at increasing rates, that freshwater becomes saltwater in the ocean.

These limitations mean that water is not necessarily renewable yet, especially because treating water produces its own waste and pollution. We have to be responsible with the small percentage of water we have access to.

Irresponsible Use

There are a ridiculous amount of ways in which we waste water. Leaks, watering lawns, and leaving taps running are some of the big household wastes of water. While individual accountability and changes can still make a big difference, I want to focus on bigger impacts.

One example is in nuclear power production. Nuclear power plants use water to cool down used fuel when it is done being used in the reactor. This results in radioactive and thermal water pollution.

Agriculture is another common cause of water pollution. Excess water from rain or artificial watering runs off of agricultural fields and flows towards streams and bodies of water. This runoff often includes amounts of fertilizers and pesticides ranging from minimal to extremely harmful. This leads to improper levels of oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen within the water. Like water contaminated by pharmaceuticals, this is not safe to drink, and something not safe for skin contact.

Technology is also a major factor of water demands. Artificial Intelligence and cryptocurrency are heavy water consumers.

AI is beneficial within waste management, as it is able to quickly analyze information and identify issues, potential problems, and potential areas of improvement. Unfortunately, AI training requires a large amount of water. One study states that training GPT-3 alone can evaporate 700,000 liters of freshwater. In 2027, AI is predicted to consume 4.2 to 6.6 billion cubic meters of water. In comparison, Denmark nationally consumes around one billion cubic meters in a year.

Cryptocurrency is even worse. It goes through a process called mining in which transactions are verified and new ‘coins’ are generated into the system. This process is extremely water-demanding. For example, in 2021, mining of Bitcoin consumed more than 1,600 gigaliters of global water. On average, each cryptocurrency transaction consumes 16,000 liters of water in cooling down the computer equipment and the power plants that provide the electricity.

Saltwater as an alternative in these situations does exist; however, this process has the disadvantages of one-time use, large water intake, sewage discharge, and ocean pollution. Technology has begun to improve on this method with seawater circulation cooling technology, which reduces sewage discharge and water intake, but remains an imperfect solution.

Technology has the potential to drastically improve environmental management and restoration, but still has a long way to go before we offset the huge impacts we have made. Freshwater is taken for granted by many people, and the systems that disproportionately consume the most of it are not held accountable. This cycle must stop if we want to make water a truly renewable resource.

168 New Nazca Geoglyphs Discovered

More than 100 new designs discovered in and around Peru's Nazca plain and surrounding areas could bring new information to light about the ancient artworks that have intrigued scientists and visitors for decades. Following two years of field surveys with aerial photos and drones, Peruvian and Japanese researches from Yamagata University reported the discovery of 168 new designs at the Unesco World Heritage site on Peru's southern Pacific coast.

The geoglyphs, huge figures carved into the South American desert, date back more than 2,000 years and depict living creatures, stylized plants and imaginary beings, as well as geometric figures several kilometres long. Jorge Olano, head archaeologist for the Nazca Lines research program, said the newly discovered figures averaged between 2 and 6 meters (6.56 to 19.7ft) in length.

The purpose of the Nazca Lines, which could only be seen from the air, remains a mystery. These new findings, however, are smaller and can be seen from the ground. The figures, iconic vestiges of Peru's rich history, are about a three-hour drive from the capital, Lima. Researchers had already discovered 190 figures in the area since 2004. But the vastness of the terrain they cover has complicated efforts to study and conserve the heritage site.

Yamagata University said the research will be used in artificial intelligence-based surveys to help inform the lines' preservation. Studies from the university in collaboration with Peru's government have helped delineate and protect the area, which is facing threats from urban and economic developments. Some geoglyphs are in danger of being destroyed due to the recent expansion of mining-related workshops in the archaeological park.

Anthropologists, ethnologists, and archaeologists have studied the ancient Nazca culture to try to determine the purpose of the lines and figures. One hypothesis is that the Nazca people created them to be seen by deities in the sky. Another theory is related to astronomy and cosmology, as has been common in monuments of other ancient cultures: the lines were intended to act as a kind of observatory, to point to the places on the distant horizon where the sun and other celestial bodies rose or set at the solstices.

Other theories were that the geometric lines could indicate water flow or irrigation schemes, or be a part of rituals to "summon" water. The spiders, birds, and plants may be fertility symbols. It also has been theorized that the lines could act as an astronomical calendar, as proved by the presence of radial centers aligned along the directions of winter solstice and equinox sunset. Researchers believe that the geoglyphs were the venues of events linked to the agriculture calendar. These also served to strengthen social cohesion among various groups of pilgrims, sharing common ancestors and religious beliefs.

[Review] Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PS4)

Dark Souls But I Can Only Parry

Continuing my very sporadic playthrough of From Software's games, it's Sekiro! I knew going in that it's deliberately breaking the Souls mould in certain ways, but I didn't always get on with its choices and experiments. It's a narrower, more focused experience, which works both for it and against it.

The setting is Japan—yes, the country on Earth—late in the Sengoku period. It's not exactly historically accurate though, as you encounter phantasms, fishmen, strangely intelligent animals, supernatural ninja powers, and forces divine and demonic; and yet it's more grounded than some "fantasy Japan" games I've played. The part of me that loves to make connections between From's games was a tad disappointed that this takes place on The Earth when it didn't necessarily need to be, but that's a nitpick.

Having a strong sense of place and tone was a part of what endeared Bloodborne to me, and that applies here too. I have come to appreciate Elden Ring's complex and layered lore more over time, but both approaches have merit. In the case of Sekiro, it's a personal story with a small cast of connected characters. I struggled at times to grasp the precise political situation and how they fit into it but the themes of how various people and factions struggled for immortality and how it corrupted them in turn resonated.

The story and themes come together in the person of the player character Wolf, a ninja sworn to loyalty and protection of Kuro, a golden child who inherited the powers of a godly dragon. Many seek to exploit his gift but he bestows on Wolf the power of resurrection, which serves as a gameplay mechanic to help you bounce back from defeats (which will be many). Their ultimate goal is to rid Kuro of this tainted gift, which is done through a series of convoluted steps that take you to the corners of the isolated Ashina fiefdom and beyond to the divine realm.

Wolf's nature as a specified character ties into the removal of many RPG elements, relative to other Soulslike games. His ninja skills and prosthetic arm open the door to many new gameplay features: acrobatic grappling, various limited-use combat tools, and stealth takedowns. I enjoyed engaging with the sneaking to pick off enemies, and combat while risky is ultimately satisfying, but I felt restricted by the emphasis on consumable items and what I saw as prescriptions on how the game is to be played.

I spoke about a narrow focus: Sekiro's combat is all about the back and forth of parrying. More important than an enemy or boss's health bar is their posture meter, which is worn down by your attacks or by blocking theirs with precise timing. The lack of a stamina mechanic and speed of your attacks rewards aggressive play, but you can't just go all-out; you absolutely must read cues that suggest counterattacks, and on top of this learn the timing and behaviours of the various enemies. I particularly struggled with the more difficult attacks: grabs, thrusts, and sweeps are denoted by a warning kanji and have totally different responses, but in the heat of the moment I could never distinguish between three complex characters. They could have at least made them different colours!

More than any other From game, I got mightily upset with certain encounters and sequences. I was walled hard by difficulty spikes in the early game, with little recourse but to push through by repeated attempts. My chief nemesis: a simple one-armed ninja in a cramped well who becomes a regular mook later in the game! The midgame was more to my liking when things opened up and I got more of a grip on the mechanics and flow, but lategame bosses and the final fight completely stomped my arse again. Looking up tricks and strategies online helped, but you still have to build muscle memory yourself.

Sekiro doesn't seem to want to help you develop it though. FromSoft has implemented needlessly player-hostile mechanics before, but death in Sekiro is especially punishing. You'll instantly lose half your money and experience towards your latest skill point, unless a percentage chance happens to save you, and this chance goes down the more you die! It's actually not too bad if you go out of your way to farm XP and spend your dosh when you know there's a boss coming, but death can happen at any time, and the in-game economy felt out of wack while the skill trees are bloated with dubious abilities.

Overall I think Sekiro is a success. It builds on a Souls skeleton but with new flavours (to mix some metaphors), and delivers a cool ninja fantasy with some powerful imagery and setpieces. I just can't decide if its action-adventure mechanics make it more accessible than other From games, or if the prescriptive parry playstyle and lack of levelling make it a harder sell. My feelings are mixed; I'm glad I played it but also relieved to have beaten it... it can't hurt me anymore!
