a meme from twitter

current favorite: shirota mahiru from servamp. where else can you have canon that textually says "actually his shounen protag heroism stems from abandonment issues and suicidal tendencies" ...probably shirou emiya from fate but if you can't handle nasuverse fanservice please try servamp

comfort character: arago hunt from arago. this one is hard because i don't really use the term 'comfort character' lol. but anyway arago is the reason i have my current group of friends so he's comforting i guess?

by design: sawada tsunayoshi from khr. after many commissions including armors from fire emblem and ffxiv i started enjoying figuring out how to draw khr's jewelries. also it's always satisfying when i managed to pull off his hair

by plot: koyama haru from jk haru is a sex worker in another world. i was tempted to draw mahiru again but haru needs more love. the plot revolves around deconstructing the usual misogynistic isekai power fantasy by narrating it through the eyes of a prostitute

guilty favorite: akashi kaoru from zettai karen children. a child of prophecy who will destroy the world because the world is a cruel place for people like her... can the bonds she creates as she grows older saves her from that lonely fate? she is also a grade schooler who loves acting like a perverted middle aged man lol.

all time favorite: jamie bennett from rotg. the alpha and omega. the origin. the reason im so into plain looking brunets.

Translation:

The wonders of nature go by slowly

As several days have have passed

For the first time in my life, I’ve pondered deeply about it

I want to share the sunlight with you

Immersing ourselves in the birds’ song

I sincerely wish we could stay that way until twilight

Since we met, miracles have happened

Having the fragrance of a gentle breeze,

I found them by touching kindness

A dream-like, pleasant gaze

Gently brimming with affection

I’ll keep conveying my overflowing thanks

To you countless times

If we are able to reach this destination,

There will be wholly nothing to fear anymore

The signs that we have threaded this ephemeral world

Are now a shining voice which guide us

To the path we’ll take in the future

I’ll sing about my decision 

To support you forever

And deliver to you my passion-filled heartbeat 

Let’s lean on each other a little 

And gently wrap ourselves in love

I’ll always be by your side, continuing to

Convey my gratitude to you countless times

Among the thousands of stars

We were brought here today again

It’s evidence of the path we've taken to date

And all the way into the future

I want to be near you endlessly

Brimming with even more affection

I’ll keep conveying my overflowing thanks

To you countless times

Since we were able to reach this destination,

There is wholly nothing to fear anymore

I'm overall pleased with the amount of reading I did this year. I was working full-time, so I didn't have as much time as I wish I did, but I got into a decent rhythm with it in the last few months especially. In terms of personal trends, I guess I can identify that this was The Year I Went Nuts For Yuri (amassing a huge treasure-trove of beautiful lesbian manga to read on my tablet), The Year I Got Back Into Fun Novels (books like Big Swiss and Milk Fed and Idlewild were such pure sources of pleasure), and The Year I Started Collecting Bloomsbury Classics (of which I've presently read very few, but they look ridiculously lovely on the shelf, and I plan on reading them all eventually).

Legion Álfheimr, Past and Present

The nine headliners of the second-generation Legion Álfheimr

Two legions at Yurigaoka Girls' Academy have borne the name of Álfheimr, one of which is still active, and both in their time have been believed the strongest legion in the world. Though most Assault Lily stories focus on different and less mighty legions, within the setting as a whole, none are more important than Álfheimr.

The influence of the first Álfheimr was so great that it set the standard of other legions, on average, having 13 members. They are also considered to be the originators of Neunwelt Tactic-focused battle strategy as it exists today.

Let's review the stories of both Álfheimarnir, past and present.

The First Legion Álfheimr

Legion Álfheimr began as one of Yurigaoka's reserve teams, composed mostly of third-year junior high school students with a few first-year high schoolers among them. Reserve teams like these are generally kept away from live combat and not considered "legions" at all. At Yurigaoka, the purpose of forming these teams is first and foremost that of preparing the younger girls to stand on the front lines later, after they enter high school (and also to take part in some inter-Garden competitions like firepower reviews.)

In Álfheimr's case, the battlefield found them before they were ready.

In 2050, two years before the events of Assault Lily Bouquet, Álfheimr was in Koshu for a training camp when the Huge invaded in force, seeking to build a Nest and establish a new foothold. The local Gardens failed to mobilize in time to push them back, and soon enough, the Lilies present found themselves not defending Koshu but leading the evacuation of its civilian population.

Álfheimr joined in, dividing their thirteen members into several smaller groups so that they could save more people. One of their number—Kawazoe Misuzu—died during this battle, but they did succeed in rescuing people, including a certain girl named Hitotsuyanagi Riri and her friend Kayu.

After that, Álfheimr became a formal legion and was sent on more missions. Of the roughly 30 combat missions they took part in, every one was a victory. Their final mission was the Odaiba Counteroffensive, in which not a single person died despite the overwhelmingly hostile odds, leading to it being considered a miracle.

The Odaiba Counteroffensive happened in early 2051, and shortly after that, the first Legion Álfheimr disbanded. In the typical Assault Lily fashion, we have multiple contradictory reasons for why this happened:

According to the defunct Assault Lily blog in an entry from 2016, Takegoshi Chihana lost a power struggle in the student council, and as she was captain of Álfheimr, the legion was forcibly disbanded.

In the early novels, Álfheimr fell apart as a direct result of Hasebe Touka being put into a vegetative state by an experimental mind-coupled CHARM she was testing on Mashima Moyu's request.

In Bouquet and more recent stories, the legion is said to have broken up due to regrets its members felt ever since the Koshu Withdrawal.

Later in 2051, one of Álfheimr's former members, Akashi Manaka, disappeared during a battle and has not been seen since; most people believe she's dead, but a few like her Schild candidate Ban Kaya are still hoping to discover her alive and well some day. The other members of Álfheimr eventually joined new legions.

Takegoshi Chihana, captain of the first Álfheimr

The members of the first-generation Legion Álfheimr were:

Hayashi Kaoru, currently a 3rd-year Lily, the Schutzengel of Takegoshi Chihana, and a reserve member of Legion Lohengrin. She was the original captain of the first Álfheimr. It's unknown when or why she stepped aside in Chihana's favor.

Takegoshi Chihana, currently a 2nd-year Lily and a member of Legion Lohengrin. In addition to being the captain of the first Álfheimr after Kaoru vacated that position, she's well-known for taking command during the Odaiba Counteroffensive and leading the Lilies there to victory. She was also, at one time, the Sigrún.

Akashi Manaka, who has been missing in action for a year. If she hadn't disappeared, she'd be a 2nd-year Lily.

Amano Soraha, currently a 2nd-year Lily and the captain of the second-generation Legion Álfheimr. She was vice-captain of the first Álfheimr.

Aoki Kaho, currently a 2nd-year Lily and a member of Legion Lohengrin.

Banshoya Ena, currently a 2nd-year Lily and a member of the second-generation Legion Álfheimr.

Hasebe Touka, currently a 2nd-year Lily and a member of Legion Sanngriðr.

Kawazoe Misuzu, Yuyu's Schutzengel, who died during the Koshu Withdrawal. If she were alive, she'd be a 3rd-year Lily.

Niinomi Nodoka, currently a 2nd-year Lily and a member of Legion Reginleif.

Shirai Yuyu, currently a 2nd-year Lily and a member of Legion Ráðgríðr (Team Hitotsuyanagi).

Taniguchi Hijiri, currently a 2rd-year Lily, the Schutzengel of Rokkaku Shiori, and a member of Legion Reginleif.

Yoshimura Thi Mai, currently a 2nd-year Lily and a member of Legion Ráðgríðr (Team Hitotsuyanagi).

Watanabe Akane, currently a 2nd-year Lily and a member of the second-generation Legion Álfheimr.

The Second Legion Álfheimr

The current Legion Álfheimr owes its existence to Tanaka Ichi, one of its 1st-year members. She's attended Yurigaoka since kindergarten and has a group of childhood friends known as the "Gang of Five." Along with her, this group includes Egawa Kusumi, Kanabako Misora, Takasuga Tsukushi, and Watanabe Akane.

When Ichi and the other first-years in the Gang of Five entered high school, the five of them decided to form a legion of their own, which received the official name of Legion Skuld. As Ichi was the captain, it was also popularly known as "Team Ichiban."

The reason Legion Skuld became Legion Álfheimr relates to Egawa Kusumi. An incident in junior high school, which we know few specifics about, nearly shattered Kusumi's friendship with the rest of the Gang of Five (though they later reconciled with her) and made her so depressed that she wasn't sure if she could continue being a Lily. Because of this, Yurigaoka temporarily moved Kusumi into the "special dormitory", a place for those Yurigaoka Lilies who need extra accommodations in their living arrangements (either because of their mental health, or for other reasons, like because they are Boosted Lilies.)

After the first Legion Álfheimr dissolved, Amano Soraha became disillusioned with being a Lily and planned to retire. She was moved to the special dormitory for similar reasons to Kusumi, and there, the two of them found themselves neighbors. They soon became close with one another. According to Soraha, she thought it would be a shame for all of Kusumi's ability to amount to nothing, decided "I want to be a Lily together with this girl," and changed her mind about retiring. The two of them, Soraha and Kusumi, then became Schutzengel and Schild.

Soraha using her Rare Skill, Heliosphere

Soraha decided to join the legion that her Schild was in, and she was followed by her roommate; Banshoya Ena, another veteran of the first Álfheimr.

Although not part of the Gang of Five, Endo Araya has also attended Yurigaoka since elementary school and joined the legion because she was interested in Ichi and Kusumi. She turned down an invitation from Shinobu, the Brynhildr herself, to join the elite Legion Brynhildr Line in favor of joining Legion Skuld.

Mori Tatsuki, the final headliner, likely joined because she was friends with Araya and Misora, though this hasn't been stated as fact anywhere. Tatsuki is also Araya's roommate.

After they proved their strength, Yurigaoka offered to let Legion Skuld change their name to Legion Álfheimr on the condition that Ichi stepped down as the captain and Soraha took over. They accepted the offer, and are now commonly known as simply Álfheimr, sometimes "the second-generation Álfheimr", and sometimes "Team Ichiban" as they were at the start.

Currently, Legion Álfheimr is one of Yurigaoka's four SSS-ranked legions—the strongest legions at the Garden and perhaps in the entire world. One of their major accomplishments was the liberation of Niigata, carried out after Sado Island was invaded by an incredibly powerful Ultra-type Huge given the name of "Fafnir", and Ryuto Girls' Academy in Niigata sent a request for aid to Yurigaoka. Álfheimr mounted an expedition to Niigata and played a key role in the defeat of Fafnir, though they were aided by several other elite legions.

Left to right: Tatsuki, Tsukushi, Misora

The headliners of the second-generation Legion Álfheimr are:

Amano Soraha, a 2nd-year Lily and the captain. She is also known as the "Wielder of the Blue Moon." Her Rare Skill, Heliosphere, allows her to create a powerful defensive barrier to shield herself and her allies. She is known for her friendly demeanor and large appetite.

Watanabe Akane, a 2nd-year Lily and the vice-captain. Nicknamed the "Conductor", her Rare Skill is Testament, which expands the range of other Rare Skills. Lilies with Testament normally have weak defenses, but Akane has mastered a technique called "Just Guard" to shield herself from attacks. She also plays the flute beautifully. She is Tsukushi's Schutzengel.

Banshoya Ena, a 2nd-year Lily and the commander. Her Rare Skill is Circlet Bless, allowing her to wield two CHARMs at once, and she is titled the "Princesse." She likes keeping aquariums and terrariums, and has a pet African lungfish named "Nyoro." It is a widespread rumor that she'll become Ichi's Schutzengel someday, though neither of them have proposed the oath to one another yet.

Egawa Kusumi, the "Child of the Gods", a 1st-year Lily. Her Rare Skill is Phantasm, giving her the ability to simulate countless futures and choose the one she desires (also, she is thus far the youngest ever Lily to have awakened Phantasm.) Her combat style is sometimes called the "Fairy Step," as she tends to look at her feet rather than her surroundings and twirl around like she's dancing. She is one of Yurigaoka's best cooks.

Endo Araya, the "Fenomeno", a 1st-year Lily. She has the same amount of magie as the average Boosted Lily, despite not being one herself. Her Rare Skill, Phase Transcendence, is familiar to anyone who watched Bouquet; unlike Miriam, however, Araya can keep fighting even after using it. She's well known for aggressively hitting on other Lilies at Yurigaoka, but people of every gender have been known to catch her eye.

Kanabako Misora, the "Little Alchemist", a 1st-year Lily. She is an Arsenal with a deep knowledge of both CHARMs and Lilies. Her Rare Skill is Regista, which boosts the magie available to her allies. She shares this Rare Skill with Kaede Johan Nouvel, but she has strong opinions on legion tactics and is viciously critical of Kaede's defensive command style, calling it "anti-Neunwelt."

Mori Tatsuki, the "One Who Hears", a 1st-year Lily. Tatsuki is a Boosted Lily who was rescued by Yurigaoka, and can understand the voices of the Huge, including their battlefield orders. This unique power doesn't make her less eager to fight and kill the Huge in the slightest. Her Rare Skill, Lunatic Trancer, is familiar to anyone who watched Bouquet. She is also an Arsenal who specializes in building and tuning CHARMs.

Takasuga Tsukushi, the "Wildschwein", a 1st-year Lily. Like Ena, her Rare Skill is Circlet Bless, allowing her to wield two CHARMs at once. She is a talented frontline fighter who is especially good at working together with Kusumi, and is one of her closest friends off the battlefield. She is also Akane's Schild. Unfortunately for Akane, who is afraid of the supernatural, Tsukushi loves stories about ghosts and other paranormal phenomena.

Tanaka Ichi, the "Heavenly Wolf", a 1st-year Lily. Her Rare Skill is The Way of the World, allowing her to perceive the movement vectors of allies and enemies alike and predict their future positions. As the president of Yurigaoka's Camellia class, she is strict with many people, but is kind and indulging towards her friends, especially Kusumi. She likes to play the piano and sing.

The reserve members are:

Maki Wakana, a 3rd-year Lily. She is Soraha's Schutzengel. Her Rare Skill is Regista. Uncommonly for a 3rd-year Lily, she has a good understanding of the Neunwelt Tactic and is an excellent commander. She, Soraha, and Kusumi are often said to be the strongest trio of Norns* at Yurigaoka.

Okada Kisara, a 3rd-year Boosted Lily. She is Ena's Schutzengel. Her Rare Skill is Zenon Paradoxa, an ability often described as a combination of Shukuchi and The Way of the World which makes unbelievably swift attacks possible. In contrast to Wakana, she prefers one-on-one dueling to the Neunwelt Tactic, though she can handle both. Because of her pale appearance and sadistic nature, Kisara is nicknamed the "Vampire".

Mozuna Noa, a 2nd-year Lily. Her Rare Skill, Charisma, is familiar to anyone who watched Bouquet. Noa's fighting style is unique, and Kusumi modeled hers after it. Off the battlefield, she's said to be very sweet.

*When a Yurigaoka Lily's Schild has her own Schild, the three of them are known as "Norns".

Final Notes

You might have noticed that Assault Lily has a lot of football (or soccer, if you're an American) references. This article contains three such references. Can you spot them all?

Hint: They're all in the final list of second-generation Legion Álfheimr members.

Edit: After I first made this blog post, Akashi Aika's name was changed to Akashi Manaka by official sources, so I've changed it here too.

Futairo Dansu Makaaburu (Two-Colored Dance Macabre) - Krik/Krak Translation

Koukai no Kubiki. Netherliese wa osoreteru. Namae sae ushinatta bourei ni, sekai wa koeraremasu ka? Regret’s Yoke. Netherliese is afraid. Can a ghost who has even lost its name cross the world? (Nightingale, CV: Chikako Torishima)

Rekodo wo tadorinagara, kanojotachi wa ima ido wo kakeagatte kite iru. Saigo no katarushisu ni taerareru ka inaka, subete wa hontachi shidai da. Hajimaru zo. As they follow the records, they are now climbing up the well. Whether they can withstand the final catharsis or not depends entirely on them. It’s beginning. (Ido, CV: Eiji Mayuki)

Aa, douka kono te wo itsumademo hanasazu iyou ne… Ah, please, let’s never let go of each other’s hands…

♦︎ Doro ni mamireta houtai gaaze wo suteta. ♦︎ They discarded the mud-covered bandages.

Mou kakusenai. They can’t hide it anymore.

Ienu kizuato wo sarasu kao ni Their face reveals unhealed scars,

Yureru futatsu no tenbin… The two-colored scales sway…

♦︎ Aozameta yokogao wo irodoru iro todome doko naku ♦︎ There’s no stopping the color that paints their pale faces.

Karibito wo michibiku ka no you ni It drips red, guiding the hunter,

Akaku shitatari ochite kaoru… Falling and giving off a scent…

♦︎ Mune ni tsunoru ♦︎ In their growing hearts,

Fuan no naka de tagai no hitomi no oku ni In the midst of anxiety, they find

Kienai shouki no hikari wo mitomete sasaeau A sane light in each other’s eyes and support each other.

Aa, tenohira no naka no sekai wo mamoritai Ah, I want to protect the world in our hands,

Dake na no ni doushite? But why?

Kowasanaide… Don’t break it…

"Akai me no majo" = wa "kiken bunshi teki da" = mo mata "majo wo kabau mono." The “Red-Eyed Witch” = is a “dangerous enemy” = and also “someone who protects the witch.”

Meikai naru toushiki ni michibikare, dare mo ga tayasuku buki wo toru. Everyone easily takes up weapons, led by this clear equation.

Dogou to himei, toki to tomo ni tsuyoku naru honoo to bouryoku rinchi no nioi. The roar and screams, the smell of flames and violence grow stronger with time.

Ishidatami wo nagareru mo, kusayabu ni magireru mo sono iro wa onaji. Whether flowing on cobblestones or hidden in the grass, the color is the same.

Mizukara no uchi wo mo nagareru sono aka ni, naze ayamachi wo satore nai… Why can’t they realize the mistake, seeing their own red blood…

Unmei no megami no namida hitotsubu, moroku mo kuzureru suna no shiro. One tear from the goddess of fate, and the sandcastle crumbles.

Kuroko's Host Club Chronicles: Shadows Amidst Roses

Chapter 1: Unexpected Encounter

At Ouran High School, the prestigious academy known for its extravagant Host Club, a group of seven eccentric individuals shone brightly as the school's most sought-after entertainers. However, little did they know that their glamorous world was about to be consumed by an unexpected storm.

In a twist of fate, the members of the renowned basketball team, Seirin High - Kuroko Tetsuya, Kagami Taiga, Aomine Daiki, Kise Ryota, Midorima Shintaro, Murasakibara Atsushi, and Akashi Seijuro - found themselves transferring to Ouran as part of an exchange program. Unbeknownst to them, their arrival would ignite a series of dramatic events that would push the boundaries of reality and perception.

Chapter 2: The Host Club Introductions

On their first day at Ouran, the basketball prodigies stumbled upon the prestigious Host Club. The doors swung open, revealing Haruhi Fujioka, the club's scholarship student, surrounded by the charismatic Host Club members: Tamaki Suoh, the club president and handsome king; Kyoya Ootori, the calculating host and "Shadow King"; and the charming Hitachiin twins, Hikaru and Kaoru.

The two worlds collided as the host club members, intrigued by the unique aura surrounding the basketball players, invited them to participate as honorary hosts. Harmoniously blending with their host counterparts, Kuroko and his teammates accepted, unaware of the rollercoaster ride their lives were about to become.

Chapter 3: Shadows of the Past

While initially appearing like a match made in heaven, each member of the Kuroko No Basket team carried their own personal baggage and harbored deep, hidden secrets.

As Kuroko charmed the club's female clients with his enigmatic presence, a dark figure from his past emerged, threatening to expose the truth behind his true abilities. Haunted by memories of his days with the Generation of Miracles, Kuroko's efforts to protect his teammates and preserve his new friendships grew increasingly desperate.

Chapter 4: Clashing Emotions

Behind closed doors, the charismatic host, Tamaki, found himself engrossed in an internal battle. His growing romantic feelings for Haruhi became a source of conflict as he witnessed her growing fondness for Kagami. Torn between his duty to the Host Club and the aching desires of his heart, Tamaki spiraled into an emotional abyss threatening the stability of the already fragile club.

Chapter 5: Strained Rivalries

Aomine Daiki, the talented yet rebellious member of Seirin, sparked tension within the Host Club. His street-smart and laid-back personality clashed with Midorima's disciplined and superstitious nature, igniting an intense rivalry that disrupted the harmony between the hosts themselves.

Chapter 6: The Storm's Calm

As drama unfolded and tensions intensified, the Host Club members found themselves on the verge of disintegration. However, amidst all the chaos, Kuroko's unwavering determination to protect both his old and newfound friends awakened a new strength within him. His extraordinary skills and selfless nature permeated through the club, restoring hope and harmony to their once-vibrant haven.

In an act of self-sacrifice and unity, the Kuroko No Basket team and the Host Club banded together, facing their demons head-on. In doing so, they shattered the shackles that bound them, emerging as a resilient and inseparable family.

As light pierced through the darkness, a newfound tranquility settled upon the Host Club. Shadows may have danced amidst the roses, painting the atmosphere with intrigue and drama, but in the end, love, friendship, and basketball triumphed, forging an unbreakable bond between two extraordinary worlds.

Chapter 7: Unveiling the Truth

The underlying tension within the Host Club only grew more potent as secrets emerged from the shadows. Kyoya Ootori, the mastermind behind the host club's operations, had been silently observing and analyzing the basketball prodigies. An enigma himself, Kyoya decided it was time to uncover the truth about their extraordinary abilities.

Through covert investigations, Kyoya discovered the legendary Generation of Miracles, the renowned basketball players from middle school who had disbanded due to personal conflicts. Realizing the true nature of Kuroko's abilities and the complexities that came with them, Kyoya revealed his findings to the host club members.

Chapter 8: Confrontation and Acceptance

The revelation sent shockwaves through the Host Club. Tamaki, coming to terms with the truth, felt a newfound sympathy and desire to protect Kuroko from the shadows he had once lived in. Kagami, on the other hand, struggled with accepting his own role as the Phantom 6th Man, torn between the dark past that haunted Kuroko and his unwavering will to be the light within the team.

In a courageous act of vulnerability, Kuroko shared his memories of the Generation of Miracles, unveiling their once-unbreakable bond and the subsequent fallout. As the host club members listened intently, they began to comprehend the weight of Kuroko's past and the impact it had on his present.

Chapter 9: Bonds Forged in Flames

With newfound understanding and empathy, the Host Club vowed to stand with Kuroko and his teammates, providing unwavering support in their journey to reconcile their pasts and pursue their dreams. United under the shared desire for growth, friendship, and personal redemption, the host club and the basketball team converged as one.

As they faced external challenges and internal conflicts, the bonds between the two groups grew stronger. Kuroko's innate ability to draw out the hidden potential in others became a vital asset, empowering each host club member to confront their deepest fears and break free from the chains of their past.

Chapter 10: The Rise of the Shadows

Word of the unified force formed by the Host Club and the basketball prodigies spread throughout Ouran High School, captivating the student body with their remarkable talents and unwavering friendship. The melodrama surrounding their lives only intensified as external pressures threatened to dismantle the sanctuary they had created.

A rival host club, envious of the newfound popularity and success of the group, sought to tear them apart. In a spectacle of epic proportions, the two clubs clashed in a host-off where charisma, wit, and charm clashed amidst a sea of roses.

In a showdown that tested both skill and heart, the combined forces of the Host Club and the Kuroko No Basket team emerged victorious, proving the indomitable power of friendship and loyalty.

Epilogue: Forever United

With the host-off win as a symbol of their unbreakable bond, the Host Club and the basketball prodigies cemented their status as legends in Ouran High School. Throughout their remaining time at the academy, and even after their departure, the legacy of their united front resonated, inspiring future generations to cherish the power of genuine friendships.

As they embarked on their individual paths, each member carried with them the lessons learned and the memories forged within the extravagant halls of the host club. The shadows that once enveloped their lives continued to exist but no longer dictated their futures.

And so, the tale of the Kuroko No Basket members turned Ouran High School Host Club members concluded, leaving behind a legacy of drama, camaraderie, and growth that would forever be etched in the annals of both schools.

[laryna6]

Yes! The song with ‘if you liked it than you should have put a ring on it’ was released in 2008, perfect timing for impressionable young Kaoru to listen and go :O best idea and immediately buy rings to put on Shiho and Aoi. 

Aoi is ‘yay! I can be a bride! With Kaoru who is best person!’ 

Nemi and I already got one crack bunny that was originally supposed to be an angst bunny but Queen Bullshit happened, where it’s an ABO with mating bites and chibi!alpha!Kaoru gets a ‘if you bite someone they are yours’ idea from somewhere and immediately chomps on her friends, which shouldn’t work?? They are still betas?? There are two of them?? But does because psychic residue in the bite -> Queen Inside. 

Anyway, in that AU: Minamoto needing a stick to fend off bitey!Kaoru, a determined smol ambush predator who can fly~ His life is aggravation and also Sharknado. 

The non-ABO version involves Minamoto repeatedly having to remove increasingly ridiculous rings from his fingers, only for Aoi to teleport them back on when he’s not paying attention bc he’s working on something. 

‘This is our Responsible Adult! You can’t have him! You can see he’s ours bc we put rings on him!’ XD
