Request(Blazblue): On the day of their birthday's Makoto, Noel, Tsubaki, and Mai's S/O's back them their favorite dishes (Mai's S/O even asking Noel to help them cook for her).
I am so sorry if this gets repetitive, that's kinda how it goes sometimes for 4 character requests. Probably gonna be a bit shorter than usual.
-It doesn't take much to figure out what kind of food Makoto likes. Not only does her heritage make it pretty obvious but she's also quite the foodie in general.
-She doesn't have any particular favorite food but she is a big sweets gal, and of course being a squirrel, nuts are a personal favorite of hers. There are plenty of dishes out there that meet both those criteria, you have options.
-Eventually the idea you decided on was a chestnut parfait. Sweet, easy to make, had nuts, and had fruits to make it at least somewhat healthy. The perfect plan.
-When lunch eventually rolls around you head up to Makoto and present it to her while wishing her a happy birthday. Her mouth almost starts to water right then and there.
-She scarfs it down at record speeds that are frankly a bit concerning. She certainly enjoyed it though judging by her smile and the way her tail couldn't seem to stop wagging.
-As soon as she's done her arms wrap around you immediately in an enthusiastic showing of thanks. She's absolutely going to ask you for more in the future.
-Noel's not too much of a foodie, she absolutely prefers to cook instead of eat, much to everyone's dismay.
-However her birthday happens to fall on Christmas, so you have as good of an excuse as any to make something for her. A traditional Christmas dish could fulfill your needs well.
-You spend hours toiling away in the kitchen, making a nice, full meal for the both of you to enjoy. You figured it'd be a nice thing to do for both of you since work in the NOL has left you both unfortunately unable to go home for Christmas.
-Mercifully, your workload is at least greatly lightened for the day if not outright eliminated entirely. As soon as you're done with what little you have to do and evening comes you invite Noel over to your place, not telling her the reason.
-The first thing Noel is met with is a table filled with steaming hot food, leaving her unable to hold back her shock that you'd go so far for her.
-She doesn't know whether to kiss you or dig right in, however her nervousness gets the best of her and she opts to go for the food, which is by no means a bad choice. The effort and love you put into it really shines through.
-Mission success. Now all that's left is to pray to whatever God will listen that she doesn't get the urge to return the favor...
-Tsubaki is a sucker for chocolate, as much as she tries not to let it get to her. It gets to the point that Jin of all people worries about her in this regard.
-Her birthday just so happens to coincidentally fall on White Day, so you'd likely already be getting her chocolate anyway. The problem is having both occasions on the same day sorta ups the pressure on your part to perform.
-You eventually decided the best way to fill the criteria for both was via chocolate cake. You didn't want just some simple, easy cake from a box anyone could make, you knew she deserved better.
-Then you had an epiphany. You could indeed churn out something worthy of such a lovely lady. After spending a good amount of time in the kitchen you end up with a chocolate cake sweetened with condensed milk along topped with caramel and whipped cream. Surely this would pay off.
-Tsubaki's eyes light up as soon as she sees the fruits of your hard labor, even more so once she takes the first bite. She is practically in heaven. It felt like she was falling for you all over again.
(Can't believe it took this long to finally write for Mai. Though I'm writing this last minute on late night April 21st so what can you do lmao)
-It's rather tough for you to pin down what sort of food Mai would like considering her...complicated relationship with food.
-Whatever you do see her eat, it's completely mangled beyond recognition by whatever the hell Noel does whenever she cooks. You don't know, and frankly you don't think you want to.
-However this is going to turn out to be a nice boon for a change. Not being able to cook for Mai was a serious point of grief for you due to her supertaste, but with Noel around you can finally do so. She immediately agrees to the plan.
-After some discussion about what she typically makes for Mai and what she seems to like best, you two decide on a seafood pilaf. You'd make the base since you wanted to contribute at least something to the dish, and let Noel take it from there.
-Frankly it's a bit scary, leaving her with a perfectly normal dish and then getting it back looking like a weapon of mass destruction. This weapon of mass destruction though was all Mai could eat so you really can't complain. (Not complaining about Noel's cooking...what the hell have you come to...?)
-Mai's grin is practically ear to ear as she eagerly eats everything down, especially once she hears that both you and Noel worked on the dish. As far as she's concerned this is the best damn thing she's ever eaten, thanking you both with a big smile and hug. Being able to eat after what happened is always a treat.
-You still have no idea what Noel does to any food she touches to make it end up the way it does, but perhaps it's one of those mysteries that's just best left unsolved.

Tsubaki Yayoi X Reader
TheRealPapaScorch On Ao3 Asked:
Yo A Blazblue AND Under Night writer let's fucking go!
If you take requests here I kindly and desperately request relationship headcanons for best girl Tsubaki, I'm literally dying for content out here.
YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND!!!
Tsubaki is a very prim and proper girl.
Call it a consequence of how she was raised.
Tsubaki doesn’t show affection in public.
Nor is she someone able to easily explain her affection verbally.
The same goes for physical affection.
So, she does what she knows she can do best.
Actions, movements, and things that show you how she feels.
She loves you dearly.
But she is a bit… naive in it all.
She knows what her love looks like.
However, she is quite unfamiliar with yours.
Though, she is quite fond of being praised, so that is a start.
All in all, Tsubaki Yayoi is a girl who is very much unfamiliar with romance.
That being said, she does enjoy how it feels.
The beat of her heart, the quiet moments, the giddy excitement, all of it was something she enjoyed.
And she especially enjoyed feeling it with you.

Finally got the courage to post this after like two months but I really think there was a lot of potential in setting Tsubaki up as also contrasting Ragna narrative wise.
If Mori had gone for the lesbian route with Tsubaki and had her exclusively see Jin as like a brother she idolizes (effectively getting rid of the Noel jealousy thing as a result) that would add an entirely different layer to why she doesn’t like Ragna beyond the general not liking that he opposes the library.
We have to remember Jin was the only person Tsubaki was ever allowed to talk to outside of her family as a child. She is very attached to him and also to Noel who was one of her first friends in the Academy. That meant that Jin and Noel leaving the NOL was a confusing and upsetting act of betrayal because both of them are essentially turning their back on everything Tsubaki has dedicated her life to (and by extension her). And they did it because of Ragna. Ragna who is against everything the library stands for, who is brash and hot tempered and doesn’t listen to authority. He was enough to make them leave but she wasn’t enough to make those two most important people in her life stay. Of course she fucking hates Ragna, she’s in his shadow.
