Maybe someday he’ll feel comfortable living for himself, but right now the thought of doing so is too sickeningly selfish to bear. For them, though... he can do that. He can’t live for himself, but he can live for his soulmate, and his friends, and the memory of Benten.
I've been re-reading Separate but Syncopated by @prydon, one of my favorite Penumbra fics from one of my favorite authors on here. There's nothing quite like diving back into a story you hold dear... So here's a little piece for the last scene of the first chapter!

Any good fanfics you read recently? Can be just Sun & Moon, or SAMS related. Just braindump about some works so that I can dash and read them plz
Your art is gorgeous btw just thought I’d let u know
Ahh thank you, thank you! That's so nice of you to say, and I really appreciate it<3 Unfortunately, I haven't read many DCA fics, and even more unfortunate than that is I haven't been keeping up with the ones that I'm in the middle of. I'm also wanting to read more fics, so if anyone has any that they want to share about, please feel free to! Still, I'll take the opportunity to ramble a bit.
The most recent fics I've read: Missions Under the Sun by the wonderful and thorough @chaotikanvas. This is a fic based on @lavenoon's Accidentally Undercover AU, and it's such a satisfying read. You get to follow Sun's point of view as he finds himself in the frustrating predicament of being in love with you, his coworker, which he can't breach many boundaries with due to the nature of your jobs. It's such a perfect fic of pining with a capital P that portrays Sun's thoughts and feelings in an indescribably real way. Even if you aren't familiar with Lavenoon's story, this fic is still easy to understand and enjoy. And! As I understand it, Lavenoon has many things to read up on too. If Kanvas' piece is any indication, their stories are captivating and well worth a check out.
Thread Carefully also by Chaotikanvas. This is a red string of fate AU where fate has decided to screw over the poor reader. Basically, the reader has a form of automatonophobia, the fear of animatronics, and is tied to the DCA by the red string of fate. Neither parties can stray too far away from each other without the red string preventing them from leaving. This sets up the exploration of an interesting dynamic between the Attendants and the reader as they have to make do with their new and permanent(?) situation. The way the reader's deep distress and anxiety is portrayed is perfect as Kanvas has an excellent way of detailing a character's introspection. Right now, only one chapter is available, but in my opinion it's enough to hook you and get you invested in what's to come.
Fics I've fallen behind on and am sure you know about: Holler If You Need Us by the incredible @castercassette. It's the wild west, and Sun and Moon are outlaws who run circles around you, the Sheriff. What more could you want? You don't know you need it until you see it, and my love for Caster's work can never be fully expressed.
Solar Lunacy by the imaginative @bamsara. The favorite slow burn with a compelling story! Need I say more about it?
Celestial Omens also by Bamsara. "Get a boat," they said. "It'll be fun," they said.
Twin Animatronics With Too Much Time On Their Hands by the awesome @twinanimatronics. The longest 24 hours you'll ever experience. A very hurty hurt/comfort fic that's eventually greatly rewarding.
Lofi Beats to Capture Children to by the brilliant and meticulous @dana-chan-the-control-brain. Sun and Moon's turbulent relationship in this can be quite upsetting especially if you're like me, someone who only desires fluff and wholesomeness for the boys. However, Dana's characters and intricately woven story are so good that simply reading it is its own reward.
I Can't Handle it also by Dana-chan. A spin off fic about Dana's OC from Lofi and Twin Animatronics, Ted, otherwise known as Dadler. He is my favorite wet sandwich of a person. I can't help but resonate with his deep self-loathing and melancholy. I miss him. I seriously need to catch up on these fics.

Free Nen Power Concepts
Feel free to use any of these in fanfic/whatever. But give some credit back to either this blog or @sunsinourhands (main blog).
Emitter
DnD type Bard idea. Your powers have as much influence (in space) based on where the sound can reach. Deaf characters are not immune if the vibrations can still transfer to them, but they basically take half damage. This could work with singing, instruments, etc. Could be a good buff/debuff or outright aggressive style. Bonus points for using a Cool Looking Instrument while using it. Just plug it into the amp for SUPER POWER. Could combine with Manipulation for a certain jingle to activate SECRET SLEEPER AGENT. Consider: I CAST A SPELL ON YOU, AND NOW YOU'RE MINE. Siren archetype.
I got hit by a truck and now I can see everyone's status screens. Entirely information/support type powers. You can see a certain amount of information that is CORRECT/truthful about anyone you look at. These 'screens' are only viewable to you. Also allows you to have accurate information about how much training/work you need to do to complete any task. (COULD ALSO BE A CONJURER POWER).
Manipulator
Origami Minions of some kind. If you can fold it you can "summon" it for use. Just have 50 origami elephants in your pocket, my dude. Secure your belongings in origami chests--which are secreted in very small spaces. Place an origami bird somewhere that will repeat what it hears when you listen to its twin. Good options for support and actual fighting. Relatively flexible, if you are prepared.
Cat's Cradle. Like Machi's string...but it's for slicing. Or being sticky. Fighting technique.
Hex Doll. Requires a taglock (restriction) of the target. Allows you to damage people from a distance, using their poppet. The poppet must be hand-made by you. How much damage transfers is based on 1: the intimacy of the taglock and 2: the skill / time you spent making the doll. You can also HEAL dolls by sewing them back up to help allies or monitor their condition. For anything to be represented by the doll, it must have a prop made by you. Etc, you would need to have a dolphin to represent Kurapika's Dolphin Stand. Could also be Conjurer.
Conjurer
Story Book. If you draw someone in your storybook, it can 'follow' their narrative--allowing you to spy on them. One drawback is that it only shows things from their point of view--and omits anything they don't know. (I think JJBA had an early villain like this?) Almost zero battle use. 110% information-gathering/support type.
Skeleton Key. Allows you to unlock any lock of any kind.
The Portrait of Dorian Grey. The portrait takes damage/aging/disease from you. But only up to a point...Once it breaks, you take everything all at once. Probably killing your ass. The portrait will get rid of any damage/diseases/etc over time.
Strings of Fate. You can see different colored strings linking people together. You can tug on them to make them more extreme, or slacken them to make them less extreme. Different colors have different meanings. The string ALWAYS leads in the most correct direction. You can also temporarily 'tie' people together, but it will come undone in time. I wonder what would happen if you were to cut one...(Inspired by Fate Witches from 7th Sea) Also falls into Manipulator.

so uh.. ive watched a couple of series recently (actually not that recently but whatevs) which im most likely not gonna be obsessed with, but still i feel the urge to post my very important opinion somewhere. ⚠️its mostly not complimentary, so if you are a fan, dont read⚠️ ⚠️barely readable bc typing is fun, but editing is an actual job⚠️ ⚠️i violate italics⚠️ ⚠️not spoiler free ofc bc what do you think this is⚠️ ⚠️i bring up kp for no reason an unhealthy amount⚠️ and even skam one time. yeah i kno, im surprised too
the shows are big dragon, wednesday, and lita
there are three good things abt big dragon: 1) ost (heeey jeeeffff) 2) that one boob grab (you know the one) 3) isbanky (very cute and sings well). the rest imo is not good at all, but ig its ok for a bl (bc i have to say ive seen worse). ig im gonna need to read some fics bc i need 1) it to actually be hot and kinky 2) someone to explain me why would yai ever choose mangkorn aside from yin yang, red strings of fate, turtles and all the other animals. it also seems to me that lead actors have more chemistry outside of the series than in it, at least from what ive seen of them in the wild. afair there was sorta cliffhanger promising s02.. am i gonna watch it? you'll be surprised, but yes, isbanky is very much up my alley, im willing to suffer a little bit for a cute boy lol. but they seriously need to cut on the time freezing thing 🙄
wednesday.. oh where do i start.. my most prevailing thought was but.. but thats not.. thats not what being an outcast feels like.. i mean come on they gave her an unconditional punchbag of a best friend who is putting up with all her quirks no questions asked and willing to die for her, two (??!!! (and actually even more if you squint)) love interests, a high fashion dress (im like.. 🤦🏼‍♀️ i cant) and everyone else just generally look at her with admiration like she hanged the moon completely out of nowhere. i mean what is this? a mary sue fanfic? anyways i have to say that i really liked the first ep and i was very excited abt this series, but the more i watched the less i liked it.. the cast.. well i like original wednesday better and when i say original i mean 1991 movie (but not 1993 lol) and i mean christina ricci ofc.. catherine zeta jones is cool, but once again original morticia was better. i have no issues with gomez casting, but the best gomez was in the 60s b&w series. thing is rocking, zero complaints here. fester is almost there even tho its impossible to top christopher lloyd. and where is itt? did they gatekeep him for future seasons? the plot.. uh the plot is meh.. i only wanna say that i hate it when protagonists ancestor looks exactly like them bc its totally plausible and it just highlights how ruthless and pointless life really is lol. oh yeah oslo i had to pause and scream a long and loud NOOOOO during the kiss scene. its like idk so uncalled for do you guys have nothing sacred at all lol. otherwise i liked the music ofc Except dua lipa, i mean dgmw i listened to future nostalgia on repeat as much as the next girl, but its just not the song for this series im sorry.. they could have found a more suitable song with the same exact message.. anyways am i gonna watch next seasons? yes, but only out of respect for tim burton and the original franchise. i mean it wasnt terrible, it just wasnt what i wanted..
omg you guys the second cp in lita is like soooo gooood, so much better than the first one lol (i wonder if they do cp rivalry like we do in kp). which came as a surprise to me bc i started watching this series for the vegaspete bastard love child and unfortunately i was sorta disappointed.. dgmw hes very attractive and has unique facial features, but he cant pull off the ao3 alpha he was supposed to act out even next to one brain celled oblivious partner (no offence lol). idk maybe hes too young. or im just too old. ig its the latter bc i watched all four of them like they are an omega camp on roaming, ig im just not the target audience of this show 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️. anyways imo the first cp was boring and i really didnt expect anything out of the series, but then second cp plot started and i literally lit up. they really do have chemistry inside and outside of the show, the acting is somewhat better, the only but for me is that the plot was unnecessarily too dark, especially after the mawkishness of the first half. i have to mention that i paralleled them with norhelm at some point which is so hilarious to me. in short i stan this cp but just in case they do individual stanning like we do in kp (meaning hating eo guts) then my bias is peat <333 one thing really squicked me - the author (was it a novel?) obv has a kink for infantilization and helplessness and sadly they put it in both plots and not as a prediscussed kink (which is ok), but as real life situations. its a huge yikes and a big no-no for me, but to each their own ig, im not gonna undust my moral compass for a bl. what else.. oh they should really stop with reusing footage bc im still seeing this fucking truck driving in my nightmares. and i didnt like the opening ost so much i had to skip it every time. well ig not everyone can afford an ost by slot machine or jeff satur 😏😏😏. oh yeah and the whole weather referencing was cute uwu

anon asked: Hi I really liked that hc with the pointing lips, I didn’t expect to see this on the tag list and my filipino heart couldn’t contain it 🥺 this is my first time requesting for a genshin fanfic heheh. I want to request a hc something to do with Harana, where the characters (albedo, Diluc, kaeya, maybe xiao 👀 and other characters you would like to add) sing from your window to persuade/court you since it’s part of (our) S/O culture so they wanted to impress them with this... IKSNSJS
*:・゚✧ nakilig ako dito putaena AHAHAHAHHA
doing this quickly bc i wanna do it b4 windblume ends sksks. also i’ll go and link some songs fitting for the characters (all filipino ofc. spoilers its all ben&ben HAHAHAHAHA)!

Tumblr media
✧ Diluc Ragnvindr | Ben&Ben - Araw-Araw
Umaga na sa ating duyan 'Wag nang mawawala Umaga na sa ating duyan Magmamahal, o mahiwaga
• It’s apparent that Diluc can sing since he won first place in the music minigame. He was taught at a young age on playing and dabbling in the arts like any other young noble should. It comes as no surprise that Diluc knows how to sing and play.
• It was you who had to tell Diluc this tradition when the Windblume Festival hits. When hearing the prospect of reciting poetry to your loved ones, you immediately got excited, which made Diluc question your sudden excitement.
• “Back where I’m from, there’s a tradition where a person will sing to their crush if they want to court them. It’s usually underneath a window sill but either way, I do want to experience it at least once!”
• He imprints the sight of your soft smile at the memory of the tradition. He thinks back on his time learning music as he cleans a beer glass. He’s not a bad singer by any means (ngl i thought diluc was voiced by jonah scott bc hoo boy he sings. but imagine my surprise when he was voiced by mishima skks). He can definitely carry a tune but would he risk his entire dignity by singing under your window sill with a song that he barely knows?
• If Kaeya wasn’t there, then maybe. Maybe.
• So he opts for the next best option; serenading in a private and romantic place. It wouldn’t be the Dawn Winery, there is too much traffic to try and attempt to sing. Windrise is an option but Diluc knows that the sisters of the church comes and cleans the statue (and Barbatos knows that he doesn’t want Barbara to faint from his voice). His next bet is Starsnatch Cliff, where numerous Cecilia flowers are littered across the cliff. 
• With that plan, he now attempts to memorize a song from your country. Diluc’s a fast learner, so he has no trouble learning the notes, the lyrics (though his pronunciation leaves little to be desired), and finally, the emotion carried through the music. Now that’s where he struggled since he doesn’t know how to convey emotion compared to other musicians. He tries his best, even asking Venti for help (enrolled is what Venti would use but at least he was paid with the best alcohol).
• Now to actually play the damn thing. He already struggled when inviting you out to Starnsatch Cliff (and bribing the couple that was there away), he hopes that his fingers wouldn’t twitch from nerves. It was when he began strumming his guitar that he realized something: there was no point in proving that he can sing. There was no point in learning a different language when there were many other different things he could’ve done to impress you. There was no need to potentially embarrass himself.
• But it was worth it when he sees your wide-eyes, your parted lips, and the warmth on your cheeks when he leans in closer. It’s worth it to see your eyes shine just like the stars in the sky when you understood the lyrics. It was worth it to see you say the words that Diluc longed to hear from your lips as he sealed them with a kiss.
Dawn has come within our cradle I pray you never fade Dawn has come within our cradle I love you, my ethereal
✧ Albedo | Ben&Ben - Ride Home
Took a morning ride, found a place up in my mind, no one else can see Maybe it's fate that we lose control In circles around, we go We become who we ought to know We just gotta let it go We just gotta let it go
• I think it’s safe to say that everyone knows Albedo can sing when his VA posted him singing. He can carry a tune and play decently on the strings. It’s just that he closes himself off in his research in Dragonspine all the while the Windblume Festival is in full swing. It’s not like you to leave someone behind while everyone is celebrating so you stand by Albedo for the duration of the festival.
• He says that you didn’t have to keep him company, more so if you don’t know anything about alchemy, but you were adamant to not leave the alchemist alone. Albedo can’t help the warmth fluttering in his heart that you wanted to stay with him. He wanted to try and teach you basic alchemical stuff so you wouldn’t feel bored or left out but he feared the shakiness in his voice would hinder him.
• So, you two talk about each other instead. While Albedo didn’t have anything noteworthy to talk about, you said to him about how you wished you can partake in the music game in hopes to play a love song. You told him that you wanted to try and sing a love song to your crush since it was a tradition in your country. While he bristled at the fact that you have a crush, the way your eyes flitted towards him, with a wavy smile on your face solidified his feelings for you.
• Having that information in mind, he quickly makes a harp out of the materials he has on hand. Such a feat is nothing to Albedo but it wasn’t the music that he was afraid of, it was giving his feelings away to you so suddenly. Learning a new language wasn’t so hard (because he learned it when he immediately realized he had feelings for you, what’s stopping him from learning everything?), but he fears that you may take it the wrong way.
• Or rather, he fears that he may do something he regret towards you.
• But he perseveres. When you were up sitting on a rock formation, studying a rare flower, Albedo stood below you, harp in hand. The sight of him, his beautiful eyes that were used to be so sure are now nervously flitting from side to side. His voice was carried out to the wind, deep and soothing just like the winds that caressed your skin. Albedo is nothing short of nervous but he was sure that he had his point across when he sees your blushing smile.
• All fears vanished when you jumped down a giggling mess, saying that this was the best Windblume Festival ever when you leaned in and kissed him.
So I'm coming home to you, ooh You, ooh You're all I need, the very air I breathe You are home, home
✧ Kaeya Alberich | Ben&Ben - Pagtingin
‘Pag nilahad ang damdamin Sana ‘di magbago ang pagtingin Aminin ang mga lihim Sana ‘di magbago ang pagtingin
• Kaeya won’t deny that he’s just as musically inclined as Diluc. As siblings, they’re naturally competitive against one another, always competing to see who can play the better piece. He wishes he could go back to those days, but bygones are bygones. Now, he strums his harp just for fun. Still, he’s not one to serenade to random strangers so it’s a first time for him to be laying his heart out in the open.
• Kaeya, like a responsible captain, steals you away and joins in the festivities with you with an arm around your waist. Reluctantly, you humored him, as you recount previous stories that you’ve experienced. One particular story that he keeps in memory was when you were serenaded once in your own bedroom window. While you had to turn down the one courting for personal reasons, you can’t help but feel warm whenever you remember the memory. Ever since hearing the bards’ sing their songs for the festival, you can’t help the flutter in your heart.
• Now, Kaeya is a very adaptable man, so he quickly thinks the best way on how to confess to you. Sometimes he has to curse himself from being so successful at flirting at absolutely everyone that he knows you could pass it off as being Kaeya. So he figures out the next best thing.
• Now, unlike Diluc, he’s willing to throw away his dignity for you. He’s willing to throw anything away from you because you were already so etched deeply in Kaeya’s heart.
• He’s a fast learned like Albedo, so it wasn’t hard to learn your language and do the correct pronunciation. All that’s left is to sing it and where. He hopes he could sing it underneath your balcony but you lived near the Cat’s Tail Tavern, where the noise has been raucous in this time of year.
• So he decided on going to the safety of your home, “drunkenly” stating that he was too sloshed to go back to his duties so he wishes to stop by your home until he sobers up. It wasn't an uncommon sight to see, so you relented Kaeya in resting on your couch as you prepared some water for him to sober up. At that moment, he prepares his act. 
• With his guitar in hand, he stands up and meets you in the kitchen. With his fingers elegantly strumming against the strings, his silky voice permeated across the house. His one eye watched your own widen at the sight of the man singing. He relished it even more when he sees the recognition in your eyes when you know the song that he's singing. Each lyric has been beautifully sung and amazingly enunciated that you wondered if Kaeya was a native to your homeland. 
• Kaeya wasn't normally a sap like this. He doesn't just do this to anyone. He even wonders what's the point of this when he doesn't even know that you'll accept him for who he truly is-for what he will do when things go awry. He recounts the words of a bygone father and he feels every ounce of sin he’s committed claw his back.
• But your gentle touch sends them away. Your hands burn the sins to ashes as you told him your ‘I love you’ in your language. And he understood it perfectly.
If I reveal just how I feel I hope you won't change how you look at me Admit all secrets I keep I hope you won't change how you look at me
✧ Xiao | Ben&Ben - Kathang Isip
Pasensya ka na Sa mga kathang isip kong ito Wari'y dala lang ng pagmamahal sa iyo Ako'y gigising na Sa panaginip kong ito At sa wakas ay kusang lalayo sa iyo (lalayo sa)
• Could Xiao even sing? Guizhong may have instilled some Liyue music in his veins when he was still a baby adeptus, she may have pulled her hair out once or twice when Xiao keeps breaking the guzhengs. At least Xiao has a decent voice, so Guizhong wouldn’t strangle Xiao with a forced sweet smile on her face. After the archon war and the yakshas fall, Xiao never sang or picked up another instrument ever again.
• Not when he passed Mondstat, hearing the insufferable bard play his tune, hearing the people who’re safe from karmic binds profess their love for one another, it made him sick. But by Guizhong’s hair would he waste this opportunity to leave you alone in the Windblume Festival. Even if he has to drag you away from the crowd in fear of him lashing out. He is not apologetic to him dragging you away but he does wonder why you would rather choose to spend your time with him rather than enjoy the festivities.
• It was at the city walls, you and Xiao enjoying the almond tofu you prepared beforehand. You did most of the talking, talking about random things that you can get. Xiao would always dutifully listen because he-honestly-you’re the only mortal that wormed his way into his heart and now he wants more but afraid of the consequences. He listens to you rambling about a courting method where one person serenades the other while they were in a higher place, just like the city walls.
• Human courting rituals have been the most confusing thing to Xiao; why go through such great lengths just to confess to someone your feelings? Shouldn’t straight up saying it be better and save time for each party? Even when he says this, he can’t help but watch your eyes glimmer at the thought of someone serenading you, in a night just like this.
• He was willing to embarrass himself for you, as he planted his feet on the wall railings. “Wait here.”
• He jumps and before you could say anything, he uses his Anemo Vision to keep him afloat. On his position, he was below you by a few feet. You watched in confusion when he summoned a lyre (and you could make out a scowl on his face, as if he was cursing the instrument) and soon, he began strumming it.
• His harp skills... could do some work. Some tone-deaf bard might have bawled his eyes out if he hears him play, but he was willing to swallow that embarrassment when he gets to have his point across. He hopes that he does, laying his heart like this just for you to take apart, for you to heal, for you to do whatever you want with it. He was willing to be weak and revere to you as someone as grand as an archon. 
• Xiao wasn’t expecting you to understand but when he sees tears in your eyes and your hand covering your mouth, he immediately stopped his singing and hurried to your side. Though, he didn’t have to. You already jumped down and got caught in his arms. He felt your tears soak his skin, your incoherent babbles muffled by his shoulder but he could make out that Xiao’s feelings aren’t one-sided.
I'm sorry For this imagination of mine I guess it's just because of my love for you I will wake up now From this dream of mine And in the end I will stay away from you (stay away from)

Moros (Ezra x Reader) || {Moonbeams} || [smut]
Title: Moros  Rating: Explicit Length: 3,900 Warnings: Mild angst, pregnant!reader, and light sexual content in the form of masturbation.   Notes: Honestly, I think the first half of this is some of the best writing I’ve ever done.  Part thirteen of the Moonbeams series.

Tumblr media
Despite how disparagingly Ezra often spoke of Lykaios — as far as moons went, it was actually beautiful. It had a lush forest, rolling meadows, and at least two seasons. 
If that was where you would have to call home for the foreseeable future, you weren’t going to complain. You just had to look past the trio that wanted to hurt you and the semi-feral werewolves that also called it home. 
Arcadia, on the other hand, was surreal. Even from above the planet during your descent, you were struck by the planet’s beauty. There were snowcapped mountain peaks, expansive fields cut through by wide rivers that led to the sea, and waterfalls.
It made your heart hurt to think that just beside Lykaios was a planet that had everything Ezra’s heart longed for. How many times had he told you that he missed the sea? 
You landed in an open meadow and armed yourself with your stun gun and a long armed blaster loaded with the silverline Shiva had given you. Proctor had made numerous visits to the planet — it couldn’t be that dangerous, right? 
Though you did wonder why Sybil didn’t know about it. What was he keeping from her?
You ventured out towards one of the rivers you had spotted from above. There appeared to be an outcropping of rocks that looked similar to lunaxium deposits you had seen on Lykaois. That was the key — you just had to find out whether or not the planet could sustain Ezra’s need. You hesitated to call it an addiction, because he did actually need to take the substance. 
But sometimes it reminded you of Ay-7 and the illicit affairs that could be found in the back rooms of popular cantinas. That blissed out, out-of-body look. At least Ezra came down off of it fairly quickly, though you sometimes wondered if he only took enough to bide himself through the discomfort until you were gone. 
You trusted Ezra with your life, but you didn’t trust him to not lie about his own life. And maybe that had nothing to do with being a werewolf and everything to do with being a drifter. You had to build up walls to keep yourself safe. 
You wore your heart on your sleeve, but you weren’t afraid to do what had to be done. 
Sometimes you caught yourself wondering if you would’ve even liked Ezra if you had met him on a prospecting venture. He could be grating at times — especially if he knew more about a topic. He’d go on and on about it until you forgot what had sparked the discussion at first. He hated being wrong, but he was quick to apologize. Plus, you knew he had a long list of dead partners which made you wonder if that would’ve been you too. 
It stung to even think of that because you knew what it was like to stare down the barrel of a blaster held by someone you loved. And that was why Alia was never discussed. 
But Ezra wasn’t Mars or Alia or anyone else that you had given misplaced emotions to. As irrational as it seemed — Ezra didn’t seem like the type to pretend, even if he was just lonely. He was too brutally honest to mislead you. 
You holstered your stun gun on your thigh as you approached the river. It must have rained recently because it had risen up over the edge of the bank, running rapidly downstream towards the sea. The water was a vibrant shade of blue, a mirror reflection of the brilliant sky above and the shiny stones that lined the riverbed. 
You knelt down and dipped your fingers into the water, wiggling them in the current as it flowered around them. There were fish — which was a welcome surprise. Lykaois had no major water sources, aside from the occasional shower or snow. 
You pulled your fingers out of the water and watched your reflection in the smooth surface of the water. Your face was distorted by the current and the edges bled out into waves of darkness that seemed to sink into the riverbed. 
“What the—“ You murmured to yourself as you reached out and dipped your finger into the water, watching as it cut your reflection in two but the darkness seemed to pulse with life. 
You stood up abruptly and took a stumbling step away from the riverbank. The darkness seemed to rise up and out of the flow, before fanning out across the ground beneath you. 
You scrambled to your feet, spinning around to look for the darkness but it was gone and all that remained was your own shadow. 
You grabbed your longarm off your shoulder, aiming it at the ground. “What are you?” You questioned, keeping your finger trained on the trigger. 
Your shadow expanded across the ground, growing upwards before it spoke. “I have encountered many mortals who have found their way onto this planet, yet not one that came before you tried to shoot their own shadow.” The rich masculine timbre of the figure’s voice made something quake within you. 
“You didn’t answer my question.” You retorted, not letting up on your aim. 
The shadowy figure chuckled lowly as it moved beyond your shadow, stepping to the left and shifting into a new shapeless form. “I am only what you make of me. What do you see when you look at me?” 
“I see…” You squinted as you tried to focus on the darkness, but every time you thought it came into focus it transformed into something unrecognizable. “I don’t know.”
“A path unset. Fascinating.” The figure stretched out across the ground, before rising upwards and taking on a new form. The darkness was thick and yet you could see straight through it. 
“You came here seeking answers,” The voice questioned, turning an accusatory tone towards you. “You think you can defy the verdict of the fates because of love.” 
You took a step backwards, glancing behind you towards the river before looking back at the figure. “I didn’t come here to defy anyone. I came here because someone I love was unjustly cursed because of the actions of someone centuries ago. I just want to find somewhere we can go together safely.” 
The figure must have noticed the way you unintentionally passed your hand over your stomach. 
“A child.” He spoke, moving towards you. “One of the few creatures in the universe that spring up with an unknown future laid out before them. Born innocent, clean… No other offspring have such autonomy. Seedlings sprout up, destined to nourish the earth. Mice are born to feed the snake and hawk. But a baby…” A hand stretched out from the darkness, reaching towards your stomach. 
You took a step backwards, teetering on the edge of the riverbank. Trapped between the darkness and the rushing water. “Don’t touch me.” 
The voice laughed harshly. “You have already been touched by me. These hands have wrapped themselves around you, around Ezra, and around the star in your belly. Everything that lives has been touched by me.” 
The shadow grew, the transparent tendrils knit together into the flowing robes of a physical being. But before you could wrap your head around what you saw the riverbank beneath your feet gave way and you sank into the mud. 
You braced yourself to be swept away by the river’s flow, but instead you landed on smooth stone. You opened your eyes, heart beating rapidly as you took in your surroundings. 
Grand columns sprang upwards with roots winding around them. The columns shimmered blue like the river stones you had marvelled at. The walls were chiseled out of stone, covered with brilliant murals and intricate designs. Depictions of epic battles and tender moments. 
“Hello?” You called out, slowly walking through the cavernous space. Your voice echoed off the stone, rippling through the emptiness like a pebble skimming the surface. 
The path you took wound its way towards a narrow corridor. Within the corridor — suspended between the darkness at either end — was a thin red string that was drawn taut. 
Something told you not to touch and you heeded that quiet warning. You took a step backwards, despite the desire to step into the corridor and follow the thread. 
The darkness seemed to swell, engulfing the thread as the stone wall sealed the narrow passage closed. 
“You are steadfast.” 
You spun around to face the figure from before. The dark robes billowed out over a transparent shadowy form. 
“I have seen the bravest warriors succumb to the temptation of knowing. How quick the threads were cut.” The shadowy figure beckoned you closer and you obeyed. “There is a way to break the curse that has become a plight for the one you love. But it won’t be easy. It won’t be free.”
“How do I know you’re telling the truth?” 
“You don’t.” His voice dripped with amusement. “The one before you — Bernard. He was close. A breath away from knowing the taste of freedom,  but there were debts that had to be repaid.”
“Are you the reason he died?”
“No. That was the folly of man. Only a fool thinks he can outrun fate.” The figure traced his tendril like fingers over your forehead. “They tried to pry him from your mind, didn’t they?”
“Yes.” 
“But you resisted by sheer power of will.” 
“I guess you could say that.” 
“I have a proposition for you.”
You arched a brow, “I’ve made a lot of bad deals in my life, but making one with a shadowy figure seems like a mistake.”
“It could be. That’s the beauty of choice. You can walk away now. Or it could be the answer you seek.” The figure told you briskly. “I could untether your beloved from the moon and he could float far beyond your reach…”
“That doesn’t sound like a deal I’m interested in.” 
“But how sweet would it be to know that he would still choose your company if he were no longer bound to Lykaois. That’s what you want to know, isn’t it?” 
You swallowed thickly, “And what would I have to do?” 
The shadow chuckled darkly, “You would have to keep our secret. You would come to me on each departure and do my bidding as I please. Once you have done all that I desire, I will release him from the chains.”
“What about my child?”
The shadow seemed to consider that, “I cannot interfere with a life not yet known. A pity, truly. But perhaps I will feel munificent when we part at last.”
Were you really going to do this? 
“So in exchange for Ezra and our baby’s freedom from Lykaois, all I have to do is keep a secret and spend time with you once a month doing what you tell me to do?”
“Indeed. The tasks you find here will not be simple, but you will find yourself better for them. Choice has a way of bolstering mortal morale.” 
The dark shape extended its hand to you, “Do we have a deal?”
You hesitated for a mere second, before reaching out to grasp at the hand. Your palm burned, white hot heat searing through the lines in your palm as you sealed your fate. 
Tumblr media
A beeping sound cut through the darkness swimming in your mind. You opened your eyes slowly, taking in the dim light of your quarters. You were in your bed…
The mechanical whir of your ship’s engine caught your attention. 
And the beeping. 
“Shit.” You mumbled as you snatched up your datapad and tapped the notification. It took a second for the connection to go through, “I’m so sorry, Ezra… I must’ve fallen asleep.” Had you though?
“I was worried,” He drawled out. “You said you would check in once you got into orbit and that should’ve been… ten hours ago.”
Ten hours?
You clicked off the connection channel and looked at your call log. He’d tried to connect with you a dozen times over the last ten hours. 
“I must’ve laid down to rest my eyes and… ten hours?” You rubbed at your eyes as you moved to get out of your bed. “I didn’t mean to worry you, Ezra.”
“Don’t apologize, moonbeam.” Ezra assured you. “I am just relieved to hear your voice. Your condition has changed, it’s expected that you would need to sleep more…”
Ezra continued rambling and you tuned him out momentarily as you made your way to the cockpit to check the systems. There was no trace of your landing on Arcadia. 
“Moonbeam?”
“Sorry, sorry!” You told him quietly. “I sat my datapad down to check on the flight path. I didn't intend to fall asleep that long.”
“Are you well, little lamb?”
“Just groggy.” You assured him. “How are you?”
“Better now that I can hear your voice.” Ezra drawled out warmly. “I thought the worst.”
You frowned as you looked at the datapad, “I’m sorry, I really am. I don’t know what happened.”
But the tingling in your palm reminded you of what did happen. The secret you had to keep from him. The choice you made that could’ve been a mistake of epic proportions. 
“I can’t say we got much sleep your last night here,” Ezra pointed out with a short laugh. “You were probably fatigued.”
You felt your cheeks warm as you sank back in the jump seat. “I think you’re right. You wore me out, Ezra.” 
Silence lingered between the two of you for a moment, before Ezra spoke again, “I miss you.” 
“It’s only been half a day.” 
“Doesn’t matter.” He retorted smoothly. “The second your ship departs this moon, I feel the ache of your absence.”
“You should try your hand at writing poetry.” You teased, “And then tell me how you pine for me.” 
“I do pine for you, moonbeam.” Ezra assured you, his voice like honey and easily melting away your worries. “I sit here in this metal coffin and count the seconds until I’m not alone without you.”
“I’ll be back before you know it.” You reminded him. “I just need to see the medic, handle a few things with Shiva, and then I’ll be on my way back to you.” 
“I wish I was there with you.”
“So do I.” You sighed quietly, flipping a switch in the panel before heading into the living area. “Do you want me to bring anything back?”
“Just you.” 
You snorted a little as you stretched out on the sofa, “So no food, huh?”
Ezra grumbled, “I wouldn’t say ‘no’ to more honeysticks.” 
“That’s what I thought.” You laughed softly, propping the datapad up against your legs. “I can’t imagine you turning down sweets.”
He hummed, “You can always surprise me, moonbeam. I think you know what my tastes are. It’s often difficult to know what I miss when it’s been so long.” 
“I’ll see what I can bring back for you.” You assured him, already thinking about what you could track down for him on the Block. 
“Where are you in the transport?”
“On the sofa.” You told him, “I go from one soft surface to the next.” 
He chuckled heartily, “Still groggy?”
“A little.” You chewed on your bottom lip, “I don’t know if I’m just hyper-aware of my condition or things are starting to change.” It wasn’t much, but you definitely noticed that you felt different and that had nothing to do with what happened on Arcadia. 
“Just take care of both of you,” Ezra said with an edge of emotion in his voice that made your heart hurt. “It is still a surreal event to know that I have brought life into this world.”
“Tell me about it.” Your hand went to your stomach. “I still think it’s a dream.” 
“A good dream?”
“The circumstances may not be ideal, but it’s still a good dream.” You told him warmly, wishing you could reach out and smooth the worry line between his brows. You could picture him so clearly, that swirling look of concern in his kind eyes. “Have you used your lunaxium today?”
“Yes.” He huffed. “I am fine, little lamb. The beast has been sated for now.”
“I bet the beast misses me too.” You teased.
“You have no idea.”
You blinked slowly as you stared at the datapad. “Oh?”
Ezra chuckled, “You know how the beast feels about you.”
“Do I?” 
He groaned, “Don’t be cruel.”
“You’re right.” You said with a put-on mournful tone. “But I’m just laying here on my sofa thinking—”
“That you’re going to drive me mad?” Ezra questioned, breathing heavily. “Fuck. I think about that night whenever we’re apart. Five years I went without feeling another person’s touch and then there was you… I tried to ignore how it felt to have you in my arms — you were injured, you needed my help.”
“I remember laying in your bed and marveling at your book collection.” You mused quietly, listening closely to the raspy sound of Ezra’s breathing on the other side of the com. 
“You marveled in my bed.” He retorted, a quiet groan escaping him. 
“That’s it, Ezra.” You drawled out, knowing exactly what he was doing right now. “Are you picturing that it’s my hand?”
“Mouth.” His voice cracked.
You smirked to yourself, “Look at you, letting me take care of you.” 
He swore under his breath. “I love your mouth.” 
“I love your cock.” 
Ezra hissed out your name and you knew he’d reached his end. He was quiet, but you could hear his labored breathing as he came down from the high of the moment. “Moonbeam, I—“
“Go to sleep, Ezra.” You told him softly. “You’ve been wound up worrying about me and you should relax.”
“I’m very relaxed right now.” 
You laughed softly, “I bet you are.” 
“When you get back to the Block, call when you can.” He urged. “I want to know how your appointment goes.”
“I’ll try to call you every night.” You promised him. “Take care of yourself during the full moon.” 
“I will.” Ezra sighed softly. “I love you, moonbeam.” 
“I love you too.”  
Tumblr media
“Do you have something to say?” You questioned as you stepped around Shiva to get to the display of hyper cables. “Otherwise that look is starting to creep me out.” 
“I have a lot to say.” Shiva retorted, pointing at the white cables, “You’ll want those.” They gave you another lingering look. “Unfortunately the surplus merch doesn’t carry common sense.” 
You rolled your eyes as you snatched two of the cables off the rack. “Is this about what I think it's about?” 
Shiva lowered their gaze to your stomach, “I clearly don’t know Ezra. A few days camped out on the moon with him and I thought he was the pragmatic sort, but nooo.” They folded their arms across their chest. “You’re really going to keep it?”
You shrugged a shoulder, brushing past them in pursuit sealant tape to repair some of the damage to the hull of Ezra’s transport. “It wasn’t a decision we came to lightly. Ezra wasn’t thrilled at first, but…” You looked back at Shiva. “It’s something we decided together.” 
They narrowed their eyes at you and dropped their voice low, “You don’t even know if you’re carrying an actual werewolf.” 
Quinn popped his head over the top of the shelving unit, “Did you say you needed the aero rustant?” 
“Yeah.” You nodded. “Did you find any?”
“No.” He snapped his fingers, “But I did decide I’m going to call it puppy.” 
You glared at him, “You should be so thankful that I’m unarmed right now. You have such a pretty face, it would be a shame to see it ruined.”
Quinn looked to Shiva, “Did you hear that? She called me pretty.”
“Find the aero rustant.” Shiva said dryly, jerking their head in a “get lost” motion. Quinn’s interference didn’t get you off the hook, however. They turned to look at you again, “I just worry about you. We don’t know what you’re actually having, he could change his mind, something could happen to you again…” 
“Trust me. We’ve considered all of it.”
“I mean, what if those guardian people get ahold of you?” Their hands went to their hips, “I’m not going to put up with you not remembering who your child’s father is. Especially if it’s going to come out furry and canine.”
“Kevva preserve me.” You hissed, stepping around Shiva. “Can I please just look for what I need in peace?”
“No. Someone has to be the voice of reason around here.” Shiva insisted. “Just don’t get your heart set on this. I don’t want to see you get hurt.”
“I get that.” 
Quinn strolled down the aisle towards the two of you, “I found the rustant.” 
“Thanks.” You held out your hand, but he didn’t pass it to you. 
“The warnings say pregnant individuals shouldn’t use it.” 
“Quinn.” You snapped.
He grinned cheekily and tossed it to you, “Feisty. I always liked that about you.”
You brushed past him and headed for the clerk towards the front of the store to purchase everything. 
“When’s your appointment?” Shiva questioned, leaning against the counter beside you. 
“Three days.”
“How are you feeling?”
“Right now? Pissed off.” You shrugged. 
“I just want to make sure you’re thinking everything through.” They insisted. “I’ve seen you after heartbreak and it isn’t pretty. It’s not too late to walk away.”
“I can’t Shiva.” You took your parcel of goods from the clerk and started out of the store where Quinn was loitering. “This isn’t like before. Ezra and I have a deeper connection.”
“He definitely loves you,” Quinn pointed out. “As much as it pains me to admit it, but I actually liked him.” 
“Yeah, I liked him too.” Shiva admitted dejectedly. “He wasn’t what I expected.” They looked at you, “The way the two of you seemed in sync with each other was surprising.” 
“So does this mean you’re going to eventually become like him?” Quinn questioned. “How does it work?”
“That’s not something either of us want for me.” You made a face. “I’m still trying to find a way for us to have a normal life… Keep researching for me. Anything you can find on Arcadia… the curse.”
Quinn smiled a little, “I can do that. Actually meant to have more for you, but those damn debt collectors wouldn’t leave me alone. Finally got that settled.”
“Who settled that for you?” Shiva slapped the back of his head. 
You arched a brow, “You gave him money?” 
“Quinn’s a useful idiot to have indebted to you.” They shrugged. “I was mostly doing it for you. He’s got good connections and you need them.”
“Shiva—“
“I don’t have to like this, but I do have your back.”
“Thank you.”
They shrugged, “The only thing I ask for in return is that you take care of yourself.”
“I’m trying.” 
You fell into stride beside Shiva and Quinn as you headed back to the shipyard. You were trying to take care of yourself. And Ezra. And your baby.
The line on your palm tingled and you wondered if you had blindly thrown yourself into a debt that no one could help you get out of.

*****
It's a common tale, one that many have heard before. The story of the red string of fate. A red string ties soulmates together, making it easy for ones not to get hurt. It may take some time to meet the one at the end of your string but it's worth the wait.
There is a stipulation. Some red strings are one sided. You could see a red string leading up to your soulmate, but they may not see red up to you. There were best friend strings as well. These strings were yellow instead of red to help distinguish your best friend. Some people's soulmate strings could one sided. As in, your string could show red leading up to a person, but on their side, the string showed yellow.
Unfortunately, for some, yellow and red were similar shades of color. I was one of the millions of people who had colorblindness. I couldn't distinguish the coloring between the two strings. The strings didn't worry me much, though. When soulmates and best friends were far away, the strings would stretch into the horizon. And mine had been far stretched for years. Because of this, she never worried about the colored strings wrapped around her wrist.
She left high school with no regrets and started working as an intern at her dream job. She didn't concern herself about either string as she moved up the corporate ladder. She had too much on her plate to worry about such trivial things such as her soulmate strings. Her strings had never indicated either destined person was near, so she chose to keep herself from worry. She figured she would always keep calm and collected when it came to her soulmate strings, however her view changed one spring day as she set at the park bench feeling the breeze that carried the fallen cherry blossoms through the air.
She was admiring the scenery, loving the felling of the sun tanning her skin as she basked in its warmth. Lost in her surroundings, she lifted her hand to brush through her hair, fixing the damage the wind had done to it. Something caught her eye, however, something that caused a range of emotions to swirl throughout her body. Shock, fear, excitement, to name a few. All because one of the strings was slack against her wrist, compared to its usual taught nature, this indicated that either her best friend or soulmate was near by.
She stood, feeling dizziness wash over her as her hands begun to feel clammy and her heart begun beating like a strong drum in a song as she looked for the other end of the string in the distance. The string trail still stretched for miles until it disappeared over the horizon, having no person as far as the eye could see. Her heart felt a twinge of pain at the empty horizon, one of her destined hadn't appeared before her. She shakes her head, setting a smile on her face as she chose to look at the positive side, they had been close, closer than they had ever been before.
Excitement continued to fill through her as she continued throughout her week. This new development giving her the habit of checking the horizon to see if the string had brought her any closer to them. She tried not to get impatient or frustrated, however it was hard when all she wanted now was to meet whoever was close to her. She let her curiosity continue to fuel her, but still kept focused on her daily life, not diverging from it so as to distract from her impatience.
~
It was a Friday night in the office as she filed the rest of her papers away before ending her shift. Most everyone had left by now leaving only a few employees scattered about finishing up the week's work so they could take their needed breaks for the weekend. Her new habit was still in full swing as she lifted her head to look towards the horizon, checking to see if the opposite end of her string was any closer to her. She took a double take as she watched a silhouette pass by her office door, the end of her string tied around a wrist of a colleague she had never met.
She halted her actions, walking as fast as she could towards the elevator where the figure had been heading. It was easy to assume that the parking garage was their destination, deducted only because almost everyone one else had already left to go home. She spots the elevator, sprinting towards it, reaching it right as the automatic doors close. Her sigh echos throughout the big hallway as she stares at the string leading up to the elevator, going through it reminding her of her failed attempt at meeting the person at the other end of the string. Her adrenaline beings to fade as she curses under her breath, going back to her office to finish her filing so she could go home for the weekend.
Weeks pass as she waits for evening to fall on the bustling city, the sun sinking low in the sky, creating a beautiful orange glow to shine through the office. She waits for the figure, hoping to catch them this time before they enter the elevator, even going as far as to stay late to explore the hallways and open offices before leaving for home. Her hope of finding them dwindled as each day passes without a trace of them. She was ready to give up all hope and go back to focusing only on work, her destined wasn't ready to reveal themselves so she would have to respect that and go on with her life.
~
The sun had begun to set over the horizon, the rays of sunset flooding into the office due the the large windows. A lot of people were heading home and she was following suit. She was packing her things so she could begin her trip home. She turns on her heels, not stopping to check her surroundings causing her to come face to face with a broad chest. Her eyebrow quirk as she raises her eyes, following the dress shirt up to a neck before following the pale skin to a smiling face. His hair was dark, some strands falling into his eyes and grazing his eyelashes, eyelashes that protected a pair of light colored eyes, eyes that bore into hers once they met.
His eyes held a deep care in them, her head tilting at the strong emotion he wore without having even spoke as much as a word to her. His eyes darted to his wrist, prompting her eyes to follow his as they reach his wrist. Her heart jumps in her chest and eyes fill with tears as she glances back and forth between her wrist and his. Her eyes stare at his wrist, the other side of one of her strings wrapped around him, the bow adorning his wrist in a beautiful way.
Without a second thought, She drops her things, them landing with a loud thump, as she wraps her arms around his neck, resting her chin on his shoulder as she holds her tears from falling. He stumbles back, arms wrapping around her waist as he balances them before her momentum knocked them to the ground. His hands travel up her back hugging her tighter, however what she doesn't feel is his tense body, she misses the sadness in his eyes as he holds her close to him. What she didn't know was, from his view, the string that tied them together was bright red, the red string for soulmates. The color didn't register in her eyes, of course, so she wasn't able to perceive that their fate was to live their lives as soulmates.
Some strings that connected people weren't the same color, this anomaly wasn't common, however it wasn't unheard of. Some people saw a red line meeting to their soulmate whereas their soulmate saw the yellow string that connected best friends. Some people were so overwhelmed at the sight of their soulmate, that they would kiss the other on instinct. However, this made things awkward when strings weren't the same color for both parties.  It was hard to stay friends after you put your heart on the line and your feelings weren't returned because fate seemed to have a sense of humor. This scared many people and, unfortunately, her new friend was a victim of this worry. He assumed the hug was a friend hug, he had seen enough people meet their soulmates to know this wasn't a a hug you give to a soulmate. He put on a brave smile while on the inside, his heart sat in a million pieces, shattered as his soulmate pulled away from him, asking him if he would like to grab a coffee.
~
The moon had already risen as they went for coffee, finding out each other's names and taking turns on telling the other stories. She sat opposite of him, her thoughts distracted as she wondered if the man before her was her soulmate or her best friend and at this point she was too afraid to ask. She hoped it would come to fruition, that he would give it away to her, but he never gave her any indication as to which he was for her.
She stayed quiet about her colorblindness, it wasn't something she loved talking about because most people mocked her for it. She knew no matter if he was her soulmate or her best friend he wouldn't make her feel bad for it, however the years of mockery caused her to clam up, not even feeling brave enough to tell him about it.
They talked for hours, way until the moon began sinking back to lay in a dormant state. They became fast friends, which wasn't surprising considering the circumstances. It wasn't until she let out a yawn from exhaustion that her new friend, Byeongkwan suggested they go home. He offered to walk her, since it had gotten so dark, he worried for her safety this late at night. She was hesitant, not wanting to inconvenience him, however he was insistent, almost begging her to let him walk her home, ending in her finally agreeing.
Their connection that formed was undeniable as they continued their conversations on the trip home. She continued hoping that Byeongkwan was more than her best friend, she wanted him to be her soulmate the longer she was with him the more she hoped he would reveal to be her soulmate. However, time kept passing and she had to come to terms that his lack of admittance was a good indicator that he was only her best friend. Her face showed grimness, even though she was having a great time, she forced herself to look on the bright side. She was happy to have him in her life now, no matter what string was strung across his wrist.
~
Days turned into months and months turned into years as the two continued to get closer. They had become the best of friends and  both adored each other and enjoyed each other's company. However, neither one could shake the feeling that their connection was something deeper than only being best friends. In reality, the connection WAS deeper, but neither one was brave enough to make a move.
It should've been painfully obvious to her when Byeongkwan introduced her to his friend Seyoon. Byeongkwan and Seyoon were close, close enough that it was obvious to anyone looking at first glance they had a yellow string tying the two together, making them best friends. And yet, her and Byeongkwan never discussed the colors of their string, no matter how much they both wanted to bring it up they didn't and decided to stay silent.
~
She continued to stay focused on her career, wondering about the string that connected her and Byeongkwan, but staying focused enough to move up in the corporate world. She was now one of the members of the board for her company, now handling most of the business affairs and relationships with the company's partners. She, also, worked hard in earning new partners to further benefit her company's assets.
She was currently visiting Sun Inc., discussing a business proposal with the CEO of the company and all his closest associates. She had worked up the proposal and had familiarized herself with Sun Inc. and its business practices, knowing that both businesses could benefit from the other. She weighed the pros and cons and even presented both in the meeting, impressing Mr. Lee, the CEO of Sun Inc, ending in him promising to get in touch with the company soon to discuss a partnership.
She left the meeting with a smile, her hands clasping together to keep herself from flailing in excitement. She looks down to her hands, feeling their tight grasp on each other, but her attention shifts. Her body tenses and her eyes widen as she watches the string not connected to Byeongkwan lay slack against her wrist. Her eyes follow the string as it reaches a new person, her adrenaline skyrockets as she looks at the woman who's back was facing her.
The woman dressed in business attire, a pencil skirt hugging her thin frame with a matching suit coat. She wore heels that made her taller , even though it was easy to tell she was tall without them. Her shoulder length brown hair shone under the artificial lights of the bulbs above her. She was talking to a man, that man being the CEO of the company.
She watches the pair converse, her head tilting as she notices Mr. Lee's hand around the woman's waist. It was clear to see that they were most likely together as the woman handed him the folder in her hand, whispering in his ear in the process. Mr. Lee winks at the woman with a smirk adorning his face before walking back to an office that appeared to be his own.
The string attaching the two compelled her to walk towards the woman, her feet leading her on their own accord. She approached her without much time to think of a conversation starter and watches as the young woman lifts her head to meet her eyes.  The Woman's eyes hid behind a pair of glasses that framed her face, enhancing the beautiful color speckled in her irises. Both heads look down to their wrists seeing them connected by the thin string bowed at the wrists. The two look back up with gleeful smiles, no words spoken for a moment as they feel nervousness and excitement flow throughout their bodies.
"It's been a long time." The woman laughs as she steps closer, holding her hand out to view the string better.
"It has." She laughs, her hand mimicking the woman's to hold it out to view the string's connection in a fuller view.
"I'm actually on break, would you like to grab a bite?" The woman asks abruptly, excitement evident in her voice.
She nods in agreement, no awkwardness hanging in the air as the two walk together to a small restaurant next to Sun Inc.
~
Upon entering the restaurant the delicious smells from the food greet us, the atmosphere pleasant as the woman leads the two to a table, one she seemed to frequent.
As expected they became fast friends, the fate of string proving true once again, a break in conversation gives her a moment for her thoughts to drift to the string. She looks down, watching the string from her wrist trail to her new friend's.
"I'm colorblind." She lets out, her voice barley above a whisper as her heart beats in her chest, avoiding eye contact.
"I never would've guessed." The woman smiles, her voice soft as she waits in quietness, however that silence was comfortable.
"I have never been able to tell the difference between my soulmate string and my best friend string." She continues as her heart calms to its usual beat. "I met a boy two years ago. I wasn't sure what he was to me and I assumed the string around our wrists we were yellow"
"But, it's our strings are yellow." She states more than asks as she finishes her train of thought.
"You did meet my husband." The woman laughs. "I sure hope our strings are yellow."
She laughs at Mrs. Lee's bluntness, nodding in agreement. Her heart speeds up as she stares at the string connecting her to Byeongkwan, her thoughts on him being her soulmate making her feel nervous and excited. The worry she felt about his string was great, what if it wasn't yellow? This concern filled her, however she felt such a deep connection with him, one she felt could only come from a soulmate that she decided to throw caution to the wind. Her heart rate quickened, making her stand, catching the attention of her stringed best friend.
"I am so sorry, I have to go." She announces, grabbing Mrs. Lee's hand, their yellow strings twisting together. "I will call you."
"Go get him, girl." Her friend winks, picking up on the situation from the pieces she had heard.
She nods, rushing out of the restaurant with her heartbeat in her ears as she runs though the crowds of people on the sidewalk. She knew where he was, they had talked about their plans for the day which gave her an exact location on him. Her lungs burned from the extensive use on them and her legs felt exhausted as they carried her through the busiest part of the day.
She reaches a small coffeeshop, the coffeeshop that they had first visited together the first day after finding each other. It became a frequented establishment of theirs and didn't get their coffee from anywhere else after that moment. She pushes through the double doors, the bells ringing overhead announcing a customer's arrival. Her eyes scan the shop before finally landing on him, his head looking down at his phone as he sips coffee from his free hand. She walks up to him, his eyes meeting hers as she approaches his table.
He smiles at her as he asks. "How'd the meeting go?"
The question goes unanswered as she reaches him. Her hands waste no time in taking his cheeks to pull him closer to her as her lips find his, eyes closing tightly as she relishes the feeling of his lips on hers. He squeaks in surprise, his body tensing underneath her palms. It takes him a moment to come to his senses and reciprocate the kiss, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her body against the chair he was sitting in.
The world seemed to fade as the two stayed lip locked, it was like a scene from a romantic movie except instead of the patrons of the coffeeshop cheering for the new couple, the murmured in confusion as they watch the two. The two pull away, their eyes taking a longer time to open as the feelings following the kiss lingered. Byeongkwan tries to stutter through words as his face brightens in color.
"I'm colorblind." She tells him in a hushed tone, her breathing labored from the intensity of the kiss.
Byeongkwan's eyes shift, holding a deep emotion in them as he stares at her.  "Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I...” She look away from him, embarrassment flooding her. His hands reach up to encase hers that rested on his cheeks, her looking into his worried filled eyes. “I got scared.” She finishes, avoiding his eyes after her confession.
“I want to make up for lost time and very badly want to kiss you for hours.” He confesses, making her gasp in shock. “But we both have work”
“I can finished for the day.” She smiles at him, his body tensing at her words.
“I can make some calls.” He says as he stands. “I will be at your place in thirty and your lips aren’t getting a break.”
Excitement fills her as she nod, watching him leave the coffeeshop. Her hand rests on her chest, feeling her heart work overtime as she replays the events that took place. She follows Byeongkwan's instructions, making her way home, preparing herself for a long night to make up for lost time.

Haikyuu!! Rare Pair Fic Recs
i’ve been so hype about some Hq rarepairs lately now imma list some of my fav fanfics, mostly OiSuga mwehehe.... 
(probably gonna add some more in the future)
Oisuga (Oikawa x Sugawara)
1. Stuck in the Middle With You by overlymetaromantic
It's not the kind of blossoming relationship either of them would expect, but maybe, just maybe, it could lead to something good.
1. In which Suga and Oikawa run into each other on a late night convenience store run.
2. In which Suga and Oikawa inadvertently switch bags and end up with the other’s uniform.
3. In which Suga gives Oikawa the lecture he doesn't want but probably needs, and Oikawa might accidentally be a little in love.
4. In which Oikawa won't shut up about Suga, and Iwaizumi plays matchmaker just to make him stop.
5. In which there is not a date, and Suga likes spicy things much more than sweet.
6. In which Karasuno and Aobajousai hold training camps in the same neck of the woods, and the trip back proves to be more revealing than it probably should.
7. In which there might just be a future to this after all.
(Dis is so fluffy i might die)
2. moving on (growing up) by _helios (neocitz)
‘I’ll do it,’ Suga says, walking into their prep school and dropping his bag on the floor next to Oikawa. He shoves the melon bun and drink forward into Oikawa’s hands, and stands there looking down at him because he knows that he needs to not chicken out.
‘You’ll do what?’ Oikawa looks up through his glasses, eyes wide and confused as the other students stream in around them.
‘The fake dating thing, I’ll do it.’
‘Fuck. Yes.’ Oikawa says with a fist pump.
(It’s been AGES since i read Fake/Pretend Relationship fic, this one is goood)
3. how strange, to be remembered by venusintwelfthFandoms
"He is not formed of the type of dust that makes up stars. Suga is not the type of person that stays in the mind of one like Oikawa Tooru, ten years later. He is formed of the type of dust you shake off, the type that settles into the ground."
Ten years after Suga last steps off a high-school court, Oikawa recollects a "Mr. Refreshing" in a post-game interview, and Suga is left scrambling.
(Cute one-shot, Oikawa still remember Mr. Refreshing from Karasuno)
4. all the small things by Authoress for lemedy
Sugawara Koushi.
Oikawa’s brain supplies the name of the person standing at the other end of the aisle before Oikawa can even register him, attuned to spitting out facts about other volleyball players on a second’s notice, even after all these years. Karasuno High vice-captain. 174 cm…no, more like 176 now. Skilled at raising morale and bringing an element of surprise to their strategy. Troublesome. Refreshing. Setter.
The enemy.
(Single Dad! Oikawa, cuuutee ugh)
5. Win Some by kingdra (aroceu) for Icie
Tooru does not have a problem, its name is certainly not Sugawara Koushi, and he is not going to the Karasuno practices just to watch him. Regardless of whatever Iwa-chan says.
(High school romane~)
6. Even as bright as you are? by BKAKCANON
That night when he goes to sleep, he includes "the safety of fairies" on his prayers, making a promise to whoever was listening him, that he'd protect all the fairies and keep their secret safe forever.
[Where Oikawa meets Suga when they are kids and Oikawa believes Suga is secretly a fairy and decides he has to protect his secret all costs.]
(This is basically matches my headcanon)
7. getting to know you by oisugasuga
Suga feels like he’s back on the court then, his heart thudding hard in his ears… so hard he almost misses what Oikawa says. Unfortunately, though, he doesn’t.
"My, my. What a surprise," Oikawa Tooru says. And then… "Hello, Mr. Refreshing."
(Haven’t finished yet but DAMN I LOVE OIKAWA AND SUGA IN HERE, single dad! oikawa, and Suga babysitting oikawa’s kid, def slow burn. Imma follow this fic till death)
8. Dear Reader by hyirule
No one seems to read the paper anymore. But Oikawa likes to for the sports section. One day he finds himself reading a section called "Dear Reader" and finds a submission he can relate to.
Basically messages sent through a page on a newspaper brings to unlikely souls together, who maybe have more in common than they first thought.
(Cannon compliant, simple and... refreshing(?))
9. rest by shicchaan
Tooru looks at the sleeping person beside him as he waits for the lights change into green. The growing fringe of his husband started to cover his eyes but he can still see the beautiful birthmark under the silver haired's left eye.
(Established relationship, fluff fluff!!!)
10. long is the road (that leads me home) by ichweissnichtauch
He thinks about himself, deleting contacts from his phone and throwing coffee cups away without even looking at the string of numbers scrawled in Sharpie ink underneath, and he’s tired of hiding, tired of carefully treading the lines he’d drawn for himself all those years ago.
Just this once, Tooru wants— he thinks he wants to be brave.
Oikawa Tooru is not a stranger to wanting.
(like... 20% Oisuga but i like the way this story follows the Cannon till he get to Argentina)
11. It's Always Been About You by mintycarrots
Every time Tooru had envisioned meeting his soulmate, it was a confession of love, filled with tears of happiness and a lot of making out. It would be a faceless petite girl that would support Tooru in whatever he chose to pursue and would understand when Tooru prioritized volleyball over all else.
It was never a boy on the rival team.
(Soulmate AU)
12. a play in three acts by venusintwelfth
"The first time Sugawara Koushi sees Oikawa Tooru play, he thinks that if he wasn’t so set on volleyball, he’d do well in theater."
the first seijoh x karasuno match through the eyes of suga.
(Kinda poetic i guess, well written af)
13. colors by dazeful
Sugawara Koushi's colorful life as an archer.
(this is like the perfect oisuga one shot ive ever read)
___
IwaSuga (Iwaizumi x Sugawara)
1. And so the moon cried by iwriteinpenFandoms:
The hillocks are the domain of unearthly creatures. Creatures of rot and fog, of music and dance. Like ghosts in the night they travel without leaving footprints, they disappear in a flurry of long dresses and pale hair. Those who are fated to see them risk curses far worse than death. You may hear them, a giggle in the wind. You may smell them, the smell of the fog rolling in through the trees. You should pray you never see them. Iwaizumi Hajime is a simple man. He works a simple farm job and enjoys simple things. After one morning where he woke next to a perfect circle of death and only the memory of brown eyes and cold hands, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to the forest. Will the tales of his childhood play out with him at the center or will he have to disregard all reason?
(Danish Folklore AU)
2. Cry Just A Little by DreadfulMind
Suga was whistling a tune to himself as he opened the door to the bathroom, so he didn't hear the muffled crying through the door. But he could hear it clearly once he was inside. He heard the sharp sob of someone trying to stop.
"Iwaizumi?" He asked, "are you sure you're alright?"
(Simple but c u t e)
3. Generations by Karasuno Volleygays (ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor), mozaikmage
Professional sports blogger Sugawara Koushi writes an article about a volleyball match that bears special meaning to him and his former kouhai: a showdown between Kitagawa Daiichi and Yukigaoka Middle School, ten years after the teams faced off for the first time. He doesn't plan on capturing the attention of the world of sports journalism, and he certainly doesn't expect himself to end up having a thing for one of the coaches involved, one Iwaizumi Hajime.
(Time-Skip, I loved it)
___
KuroTsuki (Kuroo x Tsukishima)
1. Invictus by Chiru
Kuroo T. » So let me get this straight (gay?) Kuroo T. » You want me to pretend to be your perfect and fabulous boyfriend, so that your little freckled friend will stop trying to set you up with cute little highschool girls? Tsukishima Kei » yes Kuroo T. » Aha. Tsukishima Kei » you'll do it? Kuroo T. » I don't know. I missed the part where I get something out of it. Tsukishima Kei » you get to annoy me. Unfortunately Kuroo T. » Tempting, Tsukki, very tempting indeed.
(Fake/Pretend Relationship, some fluff, some angst, i read this in the middle of the night and cried, fortunately happy ending)
2. hold onto hope if you got it by nekolyssi
"Now, in the beginning of their third year of high school, the obnoxious hollering and incessant spirit of his teammates became normalcy to Kei. And now, normalcy is this. Weekly psych meetings. Pharmacy waiting rooms. Prescriptions. Refusal of prescriptions. More prescriptions."
(Not finished yet but yep prolly gonna put this one to one of those best haikyuu fics ive ever read. I wasnt so interested at first but i really like the idea of mental ilness etc, this is g o o d!!)
3. [KuroTsuki Fest Week 2017] Traces by Heartythrills 
Kuroo’s disappeared for a little over a week now, and suddenly a 4 year old who looks like him appears before Tsukishima’s apartment.
(Age regression, fluff)
4. I swear by xArtemisx
Like the shadow that's by your side I'll be there
"What are you doing here, Tetsu? It's cold." Kei asked softly. Tetsurou smiled. Hearing his name came out of Kei's lips is always music to his ears.
"Nothing. I just came to think that whatever memory we make, may it be happy or sad memories, the bright moon and the starry night sky is always there to be the witness. Did you notice?" The alpha answered and Kei nodded. He also noticed it.
"Yes, I did noticed it."
(I love agony and sad ending....)
5. Honeybee by ClosetGoblin
Tsukishima has trouble sleeping one night during a Third Gym Camping Trip. So, he takes his acoustic guitar and passes the time with some music, and gets a visitor. Maybe he doesn't mind Kuroo's voice as he does the screeching that Lev and Hinata call singing.
(Simple but sweet)
6. Say You Like Me by the_madame21
It's been three months. And Tsukishima Kei is going to see Kuroo Tetsurou.
(light angst and.. s m u t. Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamic)
7. trying to get to you by mytsukkishine
Everything came crashing down on Kuroo when Kei had left him alone with nothing but the moon shining down on him.
Wherein, Kuroo was struggling to move on and decided that he wouldn't mind being with Kei again.
(sad beginning? yes. sad ending? y e s. you’re a masochist? come get your juice)
8. Please Hold by ThemooncatFandoms
Kei was expecting Kuroo to do one of two things; Send a text to the office saying that they will have to call back another time and continue what they started, or excuse himself from Kei to answer the call, which was most likely. He shouldn’t have been surprised when Kuroo does neither of those things.
(short but hot. what’s hotter than quiet sex?)
___
Ushijima x Oikawa
1. This Insignificant Pride and Prejudice by Mysecretfanmoments, Pouler (poulerslashes)
Oikawa Tooru graduated high school with the burning desire to succeed in his college career. He'd hoped that might include taking down his arch-nemesis along the way, but when he finds that his college team hosts an offensively familiar face, he can't help but think that the universe might be conspiring against him. After all, what could be worse than playing on the same team as Ushijima?
(It was funny for me reading oikawa/ushijima fic with that “you should’ve come to Shiratorizawa” joke at first but somehow i found this one... endearing :3, cute poor ushiwaka)
___
Atsumu x Nishinoya
1. All the things I love about Yuu by KilluCoulomb
Atsumu Miya is fixated in Nishinoya. The way the boy acts, talks, plays. He Carefully observes from afar, but he slowly warms up to the Libero. Friendship becomes more and more intimate. Atsumu realizes Nishinoya is not that simple guy he met three years ago. And he loves it.
(pro volleyball players AU)
2. i'll see you then by noyabeans (snowdrops)
Nishinoya Yuu and Miya Atsumu build a rivalry and something more.
“Oh, it's Karasuno’s libero,” he says, mildly surprised to see Nishinoya’s face staring back at him from the brochure, grinning wide with his arms folded over his chest.
Contains spoilers for the current manga arc, up to chapter 380.

While you're at it (❤️), what are your top 5 NH fanfics?
Ahhhhhhh!!!! My first ask!!! 😵😂
Oh dear, somehow I have not prepared for this moment. 🙈 I'm not the most active reader anymore, and there are so many recs I've still yet to read, so some of my faves aren't going to be very current. Plus, I'm just bad at ranking faves! I also don't even really re-read, it's more like, whatever still stuck with me is a fave, haha.
Let me see...
1.) One of the first NaruHina fics I ever read may have been deleted and I forgot the title of it. :( But Naruto had been sent to the Land of Iron for an extended mission. He fell for the Inn Girl (an OC), returned to Konoha and began a romance with Hinata. There was a huge mystery going on with his black outs, I think he went in a coma after their marriage ceremony... I forget what happened after that, but at one point he was on another mission, blacked out and woke up to the dead bodies of enemy shinobi. The reveal was that the Inn Girl was murdered because the enemy was trying to get to him. Naruto repressed his trauma, particularly how he slaughtered the nin in revenge, and his guilt was quietly eating him up from inside. He gets all his memories back and last thing I remember, pregnant Hinata is doing the laundry when Naruto finds the photo of the Inn Girl included in their family album or maybe it was a picture frame, and Hinata in all her eternal kindness understood that girl had been his first love and yadda yadda yadda. Wish I remembered the title and author's name. 😅 This was a 2006 fic.
2.) Beyond The Mirror's Edge by Imaginarivalued (2012-2013). Road To Ninja hadn't come out yet and all we had to go on was the poster showing the personality flips and it was a glorious time to imagine What-Ifs.💖 This fic hit all my sweet spots when it comes to AUs, I mean, I just always dug the whole 'If there was no pain and everything was peaceful, what would their lives be like?'. It was my impression that RTN was going to be friendship-centric while poising interesting questions. I still need to see RTN, but I've spoiled myself on its contents and I guess there's a lot of quality family fluff but not much else?
3.) The Way Of The Geisha by Chancewriter (2011). I feel like this was the last fic I read before my fandom hiatus, and it's just really, really good. It also is responsible for my acquired liking of SasuHina. My only complaint was that the one smut chapter was kind of 'not enough'. I personally would've wanted a hint of Naruto's restraint during that scene, instead it came off less romantic and more like doing a favor? I hope that's not just me, eheh.
That's all for my OG faves!
4.) Komorebi by Dizzydodo. One of the new ones to capture my attention! It's a Feudal/Soulmates AU where Hinata is to be married off to the Aburame clan, but instead gets spirited away by a fox spirit (Naruto), and it heavily focuses on the Red String of Fate. Beautiful, detailed prose, interesting world building, and eventual smut! I guess eventual, cuz the first time was sorta brief?
5.) Okay, I really can't choose among the new fics I've read this past year. 👉👈 "(common side effects)", "Medicated" are the last fics I've ever binged in years, with CSE I just kept wanting to know more, and the angst was beautiful✨ and the way Medicated deepens Hinata's side makes it essential reading. Both are so impressive. "Catskin" is the only fic of @dayseternal-blog's that I binged so far, next to "Last Chance", and it's so pretty. Last Chance is her Time Loop AU, and I dig it so much. I get "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" feels. Tbh, I'm intimidated by DAYS8's writing quality, so I've been shying away from reading the rest of her stuff. 👉👈 Same with Utsus and Matchaball. And vegebulsoup and yeah, it's kinda snowballing. OTL I think my fave list might look like a lot of other's if I got around to reading the same popular stuff. XD Lastly, @sunshinefamily has really good fics that I love, too! Sorry for crowding the final spot like this! 😂
Honorable Mentions: "The Fourth Jidai", "Buried Memories", "Secrets of the Hidden Leaf", "In Another Life", I'mma just say all of ViktorMayrin's deleted fics (RIP 😢), "Clones" and "'Til Next Time" by Perpetual159 (only available on AFF, and maybe their LiveJournal), aaaand Eternal-Shiva's fics.

chapter 1 - blood on her hands :: gisela klein [ an aot oc story ] 
note: hey guys i know its been a rlly long time since ive posted anything and u may be rlly let down and underwhelmed that ive chosen to write a aot oc instead of fanfic but its what i want to write and i rlly love my oc and wanna give her some love and some praise and let u a little in how i see her. im sorry i havent posted a lot im going to try to write more and who knows i may or may not finish this but its ok imma try lol but life sometimes is a butthole. i hope you love her as much as i do an tysm for taking time out of ur day to read this story. enjoy!
Even though she knew that this day would have to come and that it was near, it still was a surprise for her. She was taken aback. It didn’t make sense and add up to her; she was trained for this since she was little; preparing mentally and physically for phase one of the plan; and the day appeared through the trees; past the wall; the opportunity was present; the fate of the people were waiting in their hands; and yet she felt a sense of evilness within her heart. Was this right? But there was no time. 
The day was written down in history. The stories were spread around like a disease. Heights, jaws, teeth, feet, stench, the screams. If they survived that nightmare they were seen as a tough soldier; as someone that was applauded because they probably had PTSD and had to see everyday as a reason within themselves or God that they were alive. That maybe just maybe they were saved for a reason; for a purpose. That is what Gisela Klein thought. Maybe there was something greater out there for her to do, to accomplish and that was why she saw another day; breathed another breath. 
But one thing was for sure. Forgiveness would never come her way; she would never expect it. To be a warrior she had to endure the horror; the pain; feelings of worthlessness; and friendships lost. 
This is the story of the 10th finding titan; the Slash Titan.
Tumblr media
The pounding of her heart rang through her ears. It had taken everything for her to keep going on this journey; to continue on the path to and through Hell. She felt a loss within her and the light in her eyes died out. The loss of her friend made it hard for her to function. To keep her head in the game and in the plan. 
She sighed as she stared at her hands. Broken and bruised like her heart; scars and scratches scattered on her skin. Her bite mark deeply engraved into her flesh. She heaved a huge sigh. Ready to give death a handshake and make a deal with the devil. Panic was rising in her chest from her stomach, almost ready to throw up. 
As she thought about her family back home she realized there was no other way; she had to do this. In order to be with her family, to save them she had to do the one thing she was trained to do. 
Kill.
A lightning strike shot over the wall. The wall that kept the monsters away and at bay. Something was wrong; the air seemed to change. The lightning strike caused a boom, clap and the ground started to shake. 
Bertholdt drew his leg back and with full force swung his leg forward, knocking a hole into the wall that was impenetrable. Many people flew back from the wind of the blow and some were crushed by the debris of the wall. 
Many were going to die; but it’s what needed to be done. 
The titans were called. 
Finally the titans entered the devils homes and started to rip up their lives. “This is right, this is right.” Gisela had to keep reminding herself. “For my family.” And something snapped within her. The image of her mother, tortured, flashed in her mind. And suddenly everything was worth it. “No regrets.”
Gisela eyed Reiner, an agreement, a sign. She exhaled and in a quick motion placed her hand to her mouth and bit into it. In a spark she transformed into her titan form. Her eyes were much like a cats, sharp. She was made into the slash titan, she was chosen for this program. Her titans fingers were like sharp knives, able to cut any object or person. They hung a little past her knees. 
Reiner then transformed and both stomped past the hole. Many citizens glanced up, horrified. Gisela and Reiner were titans never seen before. 
She nodded to Reiner, bent down and started to pick up debris and pieces of houses to throw over the bigger wall. The chunks started to smash against people. Blood splattering everywhere. Gisela almost wanted to close her eyes from the immense amount of dead bodies piled on top of others, graves upon graves. 
She was hauling boulders as high and fast as she could. Her titan held a high amount of power and strength. Being slim, muscular and as tall as the armored titan and female titan. Reiner took a step back and gained his speed to go onward to destroy the bigger wall. 
“Fire!” Their soldiers cried out. Fear evident on their face. They shot their cannons, not even slowing down Reiner. Gisela continued flinging, wanting to create a path for Reiner. She was faster than before and many of her hits flattened the men in the front lines. Their screams and cries loud. 
“Close the gate!” They tried, it was their last hope to save humanity. But it was not enough. Reiner broke the wall and killed those running and they went flying. They reached even higher than Gisela. It astounded her almost, they seemed like helpless birds flying high in the sky; but that thought was quickly wiped clean because the second they flew up in the air they came straight down with much force that many parts of their bodies broke. 
Reiner did what he needed to do, he opened up a way for the titans to get in and they were swarming by the bunches. 
In the distance, the survivors fled in boats across the river to get into the other walls. Gisela put herself in their shoes for a second. They had reason to be scared. Everything they have ever known was gone; their houses, loved ones, food, a place to feel the most comfortable you can feel despite situations; it was all gone. Gisela shook the thought out, not caring about these cruel humans feelings. They had none. No emotions. Gisela had to believe that thought; what she was told, she had to believe it with all her heart, or else what was real?
They waited till they were able to not be seen and Gisela turned human first and then so did Reiner. The four of them hopped on the boat. Talking amongst themselves. The wind howled through the vacant homes. Destruction everywhere. Gisela looked around her setting and saw a little girl had been crushed because a tree fell on her, her doll mere inches away from her grasp. She died with her eyes open; almost looking into Gisela’s soul through the eyes. Gisela’s body trembled and she threw up. 
“Don’t.”
Gisela looked up to see Reiner wiping blood and debris off his clothes. He picked his sleeve and turned Gisela’s head to look away, he wiped her chin and mouth off the puke. He saw the trauma in her eyes and felt guilty. But it’s what needed to be done. He kept telling himself that the more he did this the more he would understand and get used to it. It was still all new to her and he had to be strong for her. He knelt in front of her small frame. “It’s not your fault. They needed to die. We are in this together. You don’t need them. Look at me.”
Gisela looked into his eyes, away from the sadness. His eyes carried the feeling of wanting to be wanted. That was always what Reiner wanted. But they also had fear in his eyes. 
“Stop acting like you’re in control when I know how sick you feel. I know how afraid you are Reiner.”
He paused and took a look at his hands and others surrounding him. “You’re right. But I made a promise to Marcel.”
Tumblr media
They joined the other citizens arriving at the food reserves. The master of disguise was needed in this mission. People needed to see four hungry, depressed children that survived the fall of their homes, not mass murderers. 
Annie was only able to fetch two loaves. “Alright, who's the most hungry?”
“You girls should eat, you’re more feeble.” Bertholdt sat on a crate, pointing to Gisela and Annie. 
Annie tsked, moving a bang from her eyes, “who says girls are more feeble? I recall kicking your ass all those times in training.”
“You guys can eat it, I’m not hungry.” Gisela sat on the other crate and saw the chaos of the crowds. A boy caught her interest. He had dark brown hair, tan skin, and light blue green eyes. He was having bread shoved in his mouth and he seemed to have such a strong personality to him. If only Gisela felt so strongly about her motive and her placement in this life. 
“You really should eat, you need your energy after all you did.” Annie broke all the loaves in half and shared it amongst the four of you. “It’s not much but at least it's something.”
Gisela sighed, “you’re right. Thanks.”
Tumblr media
After that day there was land given to only a few refugees but there were too many of them. Luckily the four of them had a piece of land that was enough until further inching themselves within society. Through that whole span each day was getting easier and easier living with the lies and day by day Gisela felt more at sure with herself and knowing that she could fulfill this mission. Pills and alcohol helped the pain and ease the thoughts. She taught herself to put a gap between what she came here to do and feelings. She told herself every day that nobody else mattered except her family and Reiner. She trained her brain to not care, to not have strings attached or any love for anything. It was all a play, all a rehearsal for when the curtain would fall. She was readying herself for that fall. Everyday she educated herself more on these scums. What they liked, wanted, needed, craved for, and what they craved more than ever in their life was freedom. 
She trained her body as if it were her last day, barely getting sleep. The face of her mother haunting her every night making her get up at three in the morning to do pushups or sit ups. Not only was her mind getting stronger but also her body. Even Reiner would make jokes noticing the muscles that would appear. The six pack that formed on her stomach. Her thighs growing tight and firm, her arms growing stronger. The sweat growing on her forehead longer. 
With her body growing her relationship with Reiner also changed. They no longer were the tiny children that didn’t understand anatomy or the air between two people. Reiner and Gisela’s relationship was of being flirty, sharing a few kisses here and there, trying to be a couple but then yelling at each other and breaking it up and realizing maybe this isn’t right a million times. Even Bertholdt and Annie were getting tired of their outbursts. But each time they made up to be friends only and then the cycle started where the feelings came in the way and they wanted to be more. They would tease each other, especially Reiner. They were each other's best friends. Gisela was like one of the boys, loud, obnoxious, burping all the time, Reiner would get a look at her and smirk thinking he taught her well. When Reiner looked at her he felt at home and that everything was going to be okay. Her nightmares continued and each time Reiner would come to her room and hold her, let her cry into his arms. She felt he was the only person that knew her pain. 
Gisela understood many things in life and for once she understood her life here, she understood why she was born and chosen. 
Tumblr media
It was the following year and in order to get closer to finding the founding titan the four became part of the 104th cadet corps. 
“Are you ready to train more?” Gisela nudged Reiner, eyebrow raised.
“What do you mean train more? This is going to be a new but scary experience honestly.” Reiner spoke as if he was a different person. As if he didn’t have a life outside of the walls. 
“Reiner?” Gisela placed her hand on his shoulder, steadying him. He looked fine on the outside but Gisela knew the issues were inside, his mind. She knew this was becoming disastrous to him, he was starting to have almost two personalities, two lives, two worlds, two people. Gisela tried to tell Annie or Bertholdt, they saw it too but there was nothing they could do. 
All that Gisela could do was smile as they made their way to the first day of training.

Trolls Soulmate AUs
I've toyed with the idea of soulmates in the trolls universe in my head for a while so here's what I got:
Soulmates don't have to be explicitly romantic, some choose to start a relationship while some remain best friends
Its more of a predestined bond type deal
Not everyone has one, and that's okay
I figure that the best fitting "type" of soulmate for the trolls universe would resemble the heartsong concept from Happy Feet
Every troll has a unique song that they feel in their heart that mixes perfectly with another's
This conveniently lines up with True Colors, but whether Branch and Poppy are platonic or romantic soulmates is up to you
Brickoppy is my jam, so I'm gonna add that it isn't discouraged for romantic soulmates to welcome other trolls into their relationship
With the Pop trolls, it was very very likely that your soulmate, or at least one if you had multiple, was eaten before you could meet
To find your soulmate was a great cause of celebration and the bond is cherished like gold because of the effects of Trollstice
I've also played around with the more classic tropes (string of fate, first words spoken upon meeting written on skin, etc.) which I realised has ripe angst potential on King Peppy's side:
The strings are only visible to the bearer and their partners
Poppy said she had three strings, which would've been more than fine with King Peppy, if she hadn't also said that two of those strings lead outside the village
He's well aware of the five other kinds of trolls beyond the forest, and he knows that with his little princess growing bigger and bolder everyday, she'll want to set out to go find her missing soulmates
This knowledge terrifies Peppy
The six tribes separated a long time ago because they couldn't accept their differences, so what if they didn't accept Poppy? What if they hurt his baby?
So instead, Peppy hides the existence of the music strings and their history from his subjects and his daughter, and he does a good job of it
That is, until a strange flying animal with an invitation from the Queen of Rock falls into his daughter's hands
Then I wondered how being gray might affect a soulmate bond:
With the heartsong soulmate au Branch, obviously doesn't sing until the first movie, so Poppy doesn't know until True Colors
With the string soulmate au, Branch turning gray causes his two strings to sever, so he has no idea who his soulmates are, not that he wants to know because he's terrified of losing anyone else
Poppy was devasted when she followed her blue string, the only one that didn't lead out of the village, only to find that no one was on the other end
She was inconsolable for weeks after her father said that it might mean that one of her soulmates was eaten before the escape
While she grieved, she made a resolution to love her remaining soulmates twice as much, to make up for the one she never got to love at all
I'm sure you can imagine her elation when Branch's colors were restored along with their shared string
Now that I think about it, a string soulmate au would work just as well as a heartsong au, if the six music strings gave the trolls soulmate strings along with their music
After the excitement of the first movie, Poppy and Branch determined that their orange strings probably lead to the same troll
Now for the Brickoppy goodness:
Hickory had long since given up looking for his soulmates
With the tragedy of his village's destruction, he figured one or both of them were long gone, and he never considered trying to look for them in the other tribes for fear of getting his hopes up
When Hickory took the job to track down Queen Poppy, he certainly didn't expect to find both of his soulmates at the same time, or to need to break them out of jail not five minutes after watching them make fools of themselves singing to the country trolls
Poppy was elated with meeting her second soulmate and Branch was stunned but still suspicious
"Guess folks 'round here don't 'ppreciate a rad medley when they hear one." You bet your ass Hickory was patting himself on the back for nailing that suave first impression on his soulmates
"Branch, Branch! Stop rescuing us for a second and look who I found!"
"Poppy, you don't even know who-" looks at his orange string and follows it to the cowboy across from him "...oh."
Branch is still distrustful of Hickory, just because they were soulmates didn't mean his motives for helping them weren't sketchy
Hickory was torn between genuinely helping his soulmates and saving his brother and culture the entire trip
When they got separated after the Rock Trolls attacked the Vibe City, he was more worried about their safety than losing their bounty
Branch definately feels betrayed when he finds out that Hickory planned to sell them out to Queen Barb, despite Poppy's reassurances that he tried to help her escape
Parb time! :
Barb would never admit it, but growing up she was thrilled to have a soulmate
The idea that she had someone other than her dad who would love her unconditionally, someone who wouldn't be scared off by her passion and intensity made her incredibly happy
When she learned about the pop trolls and how they messed everything up between the troll tribes, she couldn't help but notice how pink her string was, but shrugged it off as a coincidence
To prove to herself that it was just a coincidence she set off to find her soulmate at the end of her string....
....only for it to lead right out of the city
There was no doubt in her mind that Barb's soulmate was a traitorous, string-stealing Pop Troll of all things
With that confirmation, she despised the idea of soulmates
What, just cause some stupid string around her finger said that some preppy pop asshole was meant for her meaned she had to accept it?! Hell no! Barb wasn't going to be told who she would love! She loved her people, she loved her friends, she loved her dad, she loved them because SHE chose to, because she built those relationships alongside them, not because some string said she would, soulmate be damned
Then she finally meets Poppy and her first thought is "FUCK, she's cute!"
Despite her shock, she uses the fact that they're soulmates to taunt Poppy
"I'm not your best friend."
"You're right, we're not friends," holds up her hand with their string, "we're soulmates, Poptart."
Feel free to reblog with your own headcanons if you have any, because I've literally only seen one fanfic about this

Favorite Fics: Drarry Edition
Like I mentioned last time, reading has been a big comfort to me with all this craziness and sheltering at home, so I want to pay it forward and send love to some of the writers whose work has been brightening my quarantine. Thanks, guys!
For this list, we’re leaving the MCU for a while and heading over to the Wizarding World. I liked Harry Potter when it came out, but I never really read much fanfic until I realized a couple of years ago how much a redeemed Draco fit into the redemption trope that I loved in Harringrove, LoVe, SnowBaz, and other fandoms and ships. Once I started perusing the fics out there, I realized that one of the strengths of this fandom is the length and quality of the stories. I love stories that are a meal, and Drarry provides so many!
As I’ve gotten into the ship (so many years late, lol), these are my top 10 favorites.
dirtynumbangelboy by @magpiefngrl
This is probably the Drarry fic that I most enjoy. I come back to it fairly often when I need just a good read in the HP world. Fake dating is one of my absolute favorite tropes, which made this one an automatic win for me, but it’s written with such heart. I really, really love Draco in this fic. His uni studies and his flat being so different from the diffident image he projects. This is also probably the best Astoria I’ve ever read. Also--Jam Today! Read it now!
Do It All Over Again by DracoWillHearAboutThis
I only discovered this series earlier this year, and I’ve already read it at least three times from beginning to end. It’s a re-telling of the original series starting from Book 1. Draco sends himself a letter from the future basically saying that his dad is wrong, and he needs to give up his pure blood ideals and befriend Harry, then--boom--the Golden Trio’s adventures all happen with Draco in tow (and eventual romance, of course). The plot is fairly similar to the actual series, but I am there for the angst and the character growth. Narcissa kicks ass in this ‘verse, and Draco/Hermionie as besties is a treat! Book 4 and Book 6 are both amazing. And her titles are hilarious. This is the only series on my list that is still a WIP, but there’s plenty to read. Books 1 - 6 are complete, and a new chapter for 7 comes out every two weeks. It’s a safe bet so far, and it’s so good--why wait?
A Secondary Education by Thunderbird587
In this fic, Draco takes a job as Potions Professor at Hogwarts after getting divorced under horrible circumstances and renews his acquaintance with Harry, who is the DADA Professor. It’s got a bisexual awakening, and manages to combine friends with benefits with some supreme pining. Like a whole pine forest. Thunderbird587′s Draco POV is so fleshed out, and yet it also lets us see how Harry is pining, even when Draco himself doesn’t. Plus, at over 200K, it is long enough to get lost in for ages, which is perfect right about now. And when you finish the main fic, there are three other ancillary fics, two in Harry’s POV that take place during the main one. The cufflinks one is my favorite, but the writing is so good that I even thoroughly enjoyed the third sub-fic that fleshed out an OC. So, so worth the read--all of it!
The Foundations!verse by Saras_Girl
All of the fics by Saras_Girl are great. You can’t go wrong with any of them. But Reparations, Foundations, and all the little one-shots after are my favorite. It honestly surprised me at first, because alcoholism is a trigger for me, but this fic actually helped me realize that it’s the addiction part, the fall to rock bottom that triggers me. Recovery stories are different. And, I guess, this one is a bit different in that, though it has plenty of characters recovering, Draco himself is actually in a healthy place and facilitating recovery without relapsing. Harry is a Healer in this one, which is not the usual, and I quite enjoy his other relationships in this ‘verse, as well. He, Ron, and Hermione’s friendship is great in this one (their pub nights crack me up), but I also really like Harry’s friends at St. Mungo’s. My second favorite Terry Boot ever, and two awesome OC chicks. And the process of Drarry going from can’t stand each other to in love is slow and prickly and yet really believable. Oh, and Harry and Narcissa’s relationship in this one is just fabulous.
Golden Age by zeitgeistic (faire_weather)
The Hufflepuff in me was bound to fall in love with this fic. I really enjoy Eighth Year fics, especially the ones that embrace inter-house unity (shouldn’t have taken them a war to see the need for that!). This one takes it to a new level when everyone in... I think it was 6th - 8th years were resorted at the welcome feast, and the whole 8th year dynamic is shaken up. Harry, Draco and Neville become Hufflepuffs; Hermione and Pansy become Ravenclaws; Ginny becomes a Slytherin; and somehow Ron and Blaise are the ones who stay in their houses because the hat thinks they are basically the uber Gryffindor and Slytherin. But with the rest of them, we get to see them embrace other facets of their personalities, which is super interesting. And then, after the resorting, we find out that Hufflepuffs have a whole different world going on that basically no one outside their house knows about, and that world is brilliant. Even Hufflepuff food in the Great Hall is different! Everyone would enjoy this story, I think, but if you are a ‘Puff, you really, truly should not miss it. And if you like this one, check out some of zeitgeistic’s other works. Her world building is fabulous.
Life skills outside the curriculum by Endrina
In this fic, Harry gets fed up with the Dursleys before his 11th birthday and runs away before he gets his Hogwarts letter. He ends up on the streets and somehow embraces this kind of instinctual magic that is really fascinating. A few years later, Draco runs away rather than get involved more closely with the Dark Lord, and of course they meet up. This whole fic is super compelling. Harry’s world view and the way people gravitate toward him even without chosen one status. Also, this fic has one of my favorite versions of Remus and Sirius ever. I really wish there was a part two that went in depth on everything that happened after the end of this one, but even on its own it is so worth the read. And everything is wrapped up. I’m just greedy and would’ve loved more. :-)
A Convenient Impracticality by @firethesound
This fic combines friends with benefits and fake dating into a really enjoyable story. Harry is so oblivious, but it all works out in the end. And Draco is a secret mastermind, but in a good way. So is Hermione. Unlike some of the other, angstier stories on my list, this one is so fun, and I love it. And if you like it, check out more of firethesound’s work, as well. It’s worth it!
you’ve got the antidote for me by kandakicksass
And then, back on the angst train, lol. Soulmates, red string of fate, rejected bond = terminal disease. Whew! There’s a lot to unpack in this one, but after I read it, I never forgot it. I read a lot of fic in a lot of fandoms, and I always know a story is going to become a favorite if it stands out so much that I remember it later and think about it. That surely happened here.
(We’ll Call This Fixer-Upper) Home by phdmama
This is one of the first fics I read on my first Drarry binge, and I’ve always remembered it. Just like I love Eighth Year and Hogwarts professor fics, I also love fics where they have really unexpected jobs--pretty much anything other than Aurors. In this one, Harry is an artist/photographer and Draco is an up-and-coming rock star. The music and art, the creativity is important in this fic, but it also really looks at Draco’s recovery after the war in ways I haven’t read since, and I’m also a sucker for our favorite characters actually addressing and recovering from their trauma. 
Boom Clap (The Sound of My Heart) by @femmequixotic and noeon (noe)
This fic takes the Eighth Year trope to the next level. Draco, Harry, Hermione, and some other faves are teaching fellows at Hogwarts. Junior professors, kind of. It read like if the HP crew went to college. And, of course, Draco and Harry fall in love along the way, but not without much angst and obliviousness. I really enjoy the Draco POV in this. His worries and anxieties feel so real for that stage in his life, but amped up because of the past. This was one I read, never forgot, and then had to go back and find so i could read it again.
So, those are my top 10, but there is lots of other good Drarry out there--both from these authors and all the others in the ship and the fandom. Thanks for all the writing you guys do.
Oh, and tagging @virtual-insomnia, but only because she said she might want to make some quarantine fic lists of her own. :-)

Greek Mythology FanFiction - Dionysos
As many people have, so I too learned a lot writing fanfiction. My first attempts were as horrible as all those written by young teenagers, but as I got older and wiser (*cough*) some of it ended up being quite enjoyable if I dare say so myself. If you can keep a secret: I even plagiarise my old erotic fanfiction sometimes. But I have never written mythology fanfiction - well, before publishing my mythology erotica.
Today, I want to share my favourite Dionysos fanfiction with you. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of wine and make a toast to the God of Wine and Pleasure!
Fair warning: Most of these stories are actually quite harmless in terms of erotic content.
10 Bowls of Wine by Cori Lannam
Synopsis: Herakles and Dionysos engage in a drinking contest. One of them is bound to regret it.
Why I rec it: What I love about this story is the way Dionysos is written. He is playful and friendly, but there are also moments when his darker, dangerous nature shines through. The story is based on one of several art works from antiquity depicting said contest and I think the toasts are based on the Deipnosophistae by Athenaeus.
I also very much enjoy the vivid imagery and I confess I was heavily influenced by this story when I described Dionysos' dress in 'Apollo and Dionysos - Opposites Attract'.
Favourite quote: "A second toast, then," Dionysos said, accepting the second bowl from the serving boy and giving a caress in exchange. "To love, which guides our souls, and lust, which guides the rest of us."

Iakkos and Kallipygos by Alder_Knight
Synopsis: Aphrodite and Dionysos invent the strap-on.
Why I rec it: First of all, the idea to have Aphrodite and Dionysos invent the strap-on by combining existing myths is genius and super fun! I have been told strap-ons were already around and happily used in ancient Greece, so this is a beautiful way of 'explaining' the invention. I also like the way Aphrodite and Dionysos interact with one another. They seem to have a kind of 'friends with benefits' style relationship, which I love.
The story is surprisingly tame, considering the subject matter! Which is why I mean to write a very explicit version of Aphrodite and Dionysos inventing the strap-on - possibly as an add-on to 'Aphrodite's Boy Toy' or its sequel.
Favourite quote: It would not have been their first tryst, nor was it by far their last, but there came a pleasant afternoon when, deep in their cups, the affectionate pair spoke of each of these special apparatus - the wooden phallos, the leather belt.

Ariadne has Trust Issues by Transposable_Element
Synopsis: A modern retelling of Dionysos and Ariadne's first meeting in chat form.
Why I rec it: Yes, I thought this would be stupid too when I first saw it. But I clicked on it anyway and damn did I end up enjoying it!
It's a well-done transformation of the story into the modern world and with chat lingo no less!
Dionysos is definitely lying about not being into princes, though...
Favourite quote: ur a HOT princes! *princess haha i'm not into princes, usually. just a typo. :-)
Um…
i would totally give up princes for you. :-) :-) :-) ... Ariadne? ...
idk
is it about the princes?

The Golden Thread by Mlle Shiow Jen
Synopsis: A retelling of Ariadne's story
Why I rec it: I read this story at about the same time I wrote 'Dionysos and Aura', the very first book in the 'Taken by Greek Gods' series. The story is based in parts on the Dionysiaca too, and also features the Aura episode I was retelling, though much, much briefer.
What I enjoyed about the story is the theme of fate and the ill even the favour of the gods can bring about. I also liked the depiction of Dionysos' and Ariadne's relationship, which is in large parts quite rocky. I like complicated relationships more than perfectly romantic ones. This is probably the reason this story spoke to me more than all the other Ariadne/Dionysos fics that are way more romantic. I guess I'm a cynic that way.
Favourite quote: Beware the gods that would favour you.

Aiodos by silverr
Synopsis: Dionysos and Apollon disagree about many things - the true nature and ultimate fate of music being one of them:
"The centuries will bear out that I and my music are superior," Apollo said. "Oh?" Dionysus folded his arms. "Would you care to make a wager?"
Why I rec it: This story inspired me heavily when I wrote the relationship between Apollon and Dionysos in 'Apollon and Dionysos - Opposites Attract'. Apollon is so delightfully aloof and cold in this story, the perfect foil to Dionysos. The author clearly did his or her research, cites sources and, to my endless joy, uses footnotes!
Also, the author pointed me to '10 Bowls of Wine', which is a plus, because that story also became one of my favourites.
Favourite quote: "And what of it? Possessing things of no value - even a countless number of them - does not constitute wealth."
"I had forgotten you were a mathematician," Dionysus murmured. "Still, weigh well whether all I possess is worthless, Phoebus of the Shining Brow. Lovers come to my bed willingly - and stay there. I have no need pay bribes or punish them for unfaithfulness. Do you know why?"
Apollo scowled slightly.
"The truth is in your music as well as your countenance: you offer light without warmth. Lovers flee from you because they know you touch the kithara's strings the way that you would touch them. Detached, passionless."

I haven’t been able to write lately due to a mix of personal stuff and *waves hands* the current global situation which sucks, but I still feel like writing something down so I guess I’m just gonna be cringy and self-indulgent and blather on about Aozaki Adoption in bullet points
Of course, I’m still going to include Rin, but in the original one-shots, I just skipped over how she got added to the Hollow Shrine. Now that I’m trying to actually string a plot together, I have to do it right. That part I’m still working on, Rin’s upbringing and personality make it difficult.
If I could do this fanfic in a visual medium I’d show Touko being unable to properly see her reflection in mirrors, like she’s looking at herself through broken glass. A huge part of why I would think Touko would be taken with Sakura is because of the former’s ability to come back from the dead. it’s a noted thing in the Nasuverse that a soul changing bodies is an imperfect process and eventually a soul gets corrupted like data being copied too many times (which is what happened to Roa), but Touko got around this somehow without using True Magic. I want to make it so that the price she pays instead is a quiet existential crisis, that after so many puppet bodies, even if she knows that it technically doesn’t matter if she’s truly Touko Aozaki or not if she has all the memories and skills, she still wonders whether she IS still that young girl that got booted from her family.
The intention is that Touko grows attached to Sakura because she sees a bit of herself in the younger girl, at least, after some projecting. By helping Sakura, Touko would be able to emotionally connect to the young girl she used to be, before all the puppet bodies and people she’s killed. Touko needs that connection because no matter what her knowledge of logic and philosophy tells her, she still can’t shake off the existential dread of feeling like she’s basically an object only carrying on the function of Touko Aozaki. Looking at Sakura makes her feel... human. It doesn’t matter if Touko can’t see herself through a mirror, she can look at Sakura and go “That was me”, if that makes any sense.
I’ve been trying to figure out if I want them to visit Misaki Town or not. The setting of 2000-2001 means there’s no events from kara No Kyoukai nor Fate/Stay Night to use, but there is Melty Blood. I’ve been thinking of using the Tatari’s power to make nightmares come alive to write a few horror chapters in the vein of Silent Hill (I ADORE how it does psychological horror), but also I’m questioning if I really want to go there and do that. While Silent Hill portrays the horrors of sexual abuse (the loneliness, the self-blame, the terror of seeing your own bed) better than 90% of anything, that’s not really something I want to do, but that’s where an encounter with the Night of Wallachia would go given Sakura’s backstory. 
I was seesawing between using Zouken (he doesn’t die that easily) or somehow getting Kirei and Gilgamesh involved to act as the main antagonists, but I decided against both. I know the one enemy Touko and the Hollow Shrine stand no chance of beating in a fight: Barthomeloi Lorelei. She’s eventually going to be the main antagonist, I plan to get her involved later on by having Touko recklessly rob the Clocktower for an artifact in an attempt to treat Sakura’s conditions (and thus make her lose face as the Clock Tower’s vice director) then have Zouken sell them out by using the worms still hiding inside Sakura to locate the Hollow Shrine, either that or get Shiki Tohno involved somehow since she hates his guts.
The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception present a really big writing problem where basically any monster threat I can throw in while waiting for the antagonists to arrive can be instantly solved by Shiki Ryougi. In fact, I’m still struggling to come up with a better reason for why Shiki doesn’t just destroy the grail fragments and worms inside Sakura other than the worms having changed Sakura’s physiology so thoroughly their death lines are too closely entwined with hers and Ryougi refuses to attempt to cut them out because of the risk.
I’m definitely doing the Shadow, but I need 1.) A power source that’s not the grail 2.) A reason to draw it out this early and a way to fight it back into dormancy since I currently can’t think of any other way to sever it from Sakura without Rule Breaker.
To differentiate it from Heaven’s Feel, I wanna take a different approach where the Shadow is something Sakura willingly indulges and indeed has full control over its powers. It’s gonna be vastly nerfed since no grail with infinite mana, but I think with a large enough mana source Sakura could massacre say, a bunch of Clock Tower Sealing Enforcers. 
Specifically, I want that choice to stem from a conversation Sakura has with Shiki. By this point, the Clock Tower is closing in and Sakura’s been conversing with the Shadow in her dreams, and though her better life in the hollow Shrine means she’s not in the same desperate situation she is in HF, she’s also willing to do whatever it takes to protect this new life she obtained through a miracle. So Sakura is going to ask Shiki “Shiki-san... have you ever killed before?” and Shiki would say yes. then Sakura asks “Would you kill again?” and Shiki solemnly answers “if I have to, yes.” which makes Sakura make up her mind that the Shadow would be something she needs to be able to use and control as a trump card.
As to what makes Sakura use it, I’m obviously going to kill Touko in front of her. I just need to have a strong excuse to have Sakura NOT know that dying is not that big of a problem for Touko. Currently, my idea is lifting from Fate/Stay Night and having Touko keep that a secret because adult mages can attempt to read Sakura’s mind, and Touko needs the surprise factor of her death immunity so that her enemies will try to kill her instead of imprisoning or sealing her.
My current outline is almost all rather dark plot points, but I tend to gravitate towards jokes and fluffy writing so I’m expecting the tone to lighten up a lot when I get around to actually writing them. It’s worked that way in the first few chapters.
Dealing with Sakura’s psyche is a little difficult since I have no idea how much of her anger and resentment should stay after she’s found this better life. I’m using Fujino as a reference, where there’s this simmering rage beneath Fujino, even as she speaks kindly and talks girls out of suicide. 
It’s especially difficult when I’m trying to flesh out her relationship with Rin. I know for sure I want Rin to be taken in by the Hollow Shrine only because Sakura wants her there, I want to use Sakura thinking of Rin as her hero in this fic, and how she’ll drag Rin back to the Hollow Shrine to reunite them. but I also want there to be that resentment. That anger. Rin would be someone who’s reluctant to give up on the ideals of a mage, and even more reluctant to give up the Tohsaka name and legacy, which Sakura would despise. I want there to be this torrent of conflicting feelings where Sakura thinks the world of her older sister who’s so beautiful and talented and perfect, and yet still feels resentment over Rin being kept by the family over her, and how Rin doesn’t really want to give up on being a Tohsaka. Meanwhile I’m putting Rin on the guilt trip train. It wasn’t her fault of course (remember in this fic Rin and Sakura are only 13 and 12 years old), mage culture is a bitch and she was just a child, but still. I want Rin to be just as conflicted, where she’s happy they’re back together (even if Sakura had to force it to happen) and massively guilty over what happened to her younger sister AND even more guilty that she knows the Tohsaka treated Sakura cruelly, but the Tohsaka ways are so deeply ingrained into her that she doesn’t want to give up such an enormous part of her identity. 
Rin and Sakura are going to fight a couple of times. Sometimes physically. But at the end of the day I still want a lot of positives to come from giving them a relationship again. I want their sibling relationship to be one of the core focuses of the fic, and specifically I want them to contrast Touko and Aoko’s relationship. Touko is not going to like Rin at first and is only having her onboard because it’s what Sakura wants, but also I kinda want to use Rin and Sakura as a way for Touko to see how things between her and Aoko might have been different.
Speaking of which, I really need a translation of Mahoyo to come out so I can do that last bullet point more effectively.
Currently most of the interactions Sakura’s had with the Hollow Shrine have been with Touko and mikiya, but I want her to have fleshed out relationships with the others too. Azaka could be her senpai in magecraft and she in turn would be the most protective of Sakura. Shiki would have Sakura babysit Mana a lot as she’s still in college and has to study (and Shiki would grow fond of her cooking), while Fujino would have the quietest and yet most comfortable relationship with Sakura. 
I’m doing this thing where Sakura’s fine control over her magical energy isn’t very good because of her altered circuits, so I’m making that the main motivation for how she discovers and wants to train in archery (she was vice-captain and then captain of the archery club in FSN and FHA after all), she loves the feeling of control and precision, of firing an arrow and knowing it will hit bullseye before it lands, as opposed to having to constantly struggle to keep a spell active or it crumbles before it finishes its process.
I’m still keeping the story of Rin and Sakura meeting Shirou by chucking him into a river, just need to figure out how to organically insert it back into the plot. it’s too funny to let go.
I don’t know if I want to do Taiga and Shiki as rival yakuza, but it’s definitely something I’m considering. it’s just too fun. I want to make something like how Taiga’s nickname of “Tiger of Fuyuki” is actually a serious yakuza nickname for her (that her students then caught on without context), so her rival Shiki becomes the “Dragon of Mifune”
Thanks to Case Files I know mages having deadly car chases actually isn’t all that uncommon which opens up a ton of new avenues for how I could get Sakura to be in a car with Touko in a car chase. i’d have Sakura follow Touko’s instructions and overturn the cars chasing them. Sakura’s worried and asks if they’re hurt, and Touko goes “Don’t worry, they’re Clock Tower mages, they’ll be fine.” and then one of the overturned cars explodes and when Sakura turns to look Touko gently points sakura’s face forward and says “Eyes on the road,” Later that night, the news reveals no one was killed. Somehow.
I want to do the Jewel Sword of Zelretch but I don’t know how just yet.
 I’m going to poke a lot of fun at the fact that Touko says she has no issues but one of her main puppets that she battles with is literally modeled to look like Aoko. I might even have Touko talk to the puppet once in a while when she’s bored.
Still debating on when exactly Sakura is going to start calling Touko “Mom” and what she would have to do to earn that. Also, do we know when Aoi Tohsaka died? I can’t recall a specific year and I’m trying to get all the dates straight.
