Prompt: Time to eat Pairing: Cinder and Kai

Kai walked though the halls of the ship carrying two plates of food. The rest of the crew had already ate, but as usual Cinder hadn't joined them. The crew told Kai not to worry she would make her way out of whatever she was fixing to eat in time, but Kai couldn't help but worry. He couldn't remember the last time he saw her eat, and the thought of her going without food upset him. He had already checked her room, Iko's room, and Cinder's workshop. She wasn't in any of them, so he was heading down to the room that held all of the ships inner workings. He was told Cinder spent time there making repairs. As he got closer he could hear her tinkering away. He lend on the doorway, and watched her work for a moment before tapping his foot. When she looked over at the noise and saw him her eyes grew wide.

"What are you doing in here?" Cinder asked.

"Well the rest of the crew ate dinner already, and I couldn't remember the last time I saw you join us. I thought I should bring you dinner just to make sure you ate it." Kai said holding out the plate. Cinder tilted her head to the side.

"Huh. I guess I forgot to check the time." She stood up brushing her hands on her jeans. There was oil smeared on her cheek. After she took her plate she lead them over to an over turned crate to use as a table. "Thanks, Kia." Cinder said with a smile.

"Not a problem. So what are you working on?" He asked as they ate.

Cinder explained what she was doing, and how it would help the ship work better. Kai nodded as she spoke, but he had no idea what any of it really meant. He mostly just watched Cinder as she ate and happily told him about the inner workings of the ship. She was cute when she got excited. He would have to bring her dinner more.

This song is so Kai and Cinder like you don't undearstand that's literally them like when it says "I feel like I win when I lose" it's literally when he wanted her to scape for some reason even if it was bad for him

Too lazy for a description rn😔, but heres another jaya fanart

I was remembering the moment when they get thrown out of the plane in Tournament of Elements and I thought it would look epic like this

[littlespirit-199]

my take on some DR characters using this alignment meme

[lynsstrange]

one of my favorite parts of the lunar chronicles has always been how batshit insane it is. just the the genuine unhingery. the main character kidnaps her love interest from his wedding. said love interest stabs his arranged bride (a murderous dictator) with scissors at the altar. cress and thorne stay at an inn in the middle of the desert, and while he’s fucking around gambling she gets kidnapped into an underground medical experimentation human trafficking ring and bought by her long lost father. there’s evil moon people. scarlet and wolf get it on in a boxcar after like two days of knowing each other. 4/9 of the main cast aren’t human. cinder crashes kai’s wedding (again), murders twenty people, and jumps off a ten story balcony into a lake. kai keeps cinder’s metal foot so he can stare at it and long after her while she’s a wanted fugitive. cress fangirls over and stalks her outlaw crush on the internet for years and then bags him when they meet. not one of them is over twenty or mentally sound btw. no other YA series is doing it like that. applause

EDIT bc I’ve had so many people correct me: yes my math is off on the human ratio!! Ik it’s only two on reflection, I wrote this post very quickly and didn’t fully think it through, thank you for the corrections

The sun, the moon. Kai and Cinder from The Lunar Chronicles.

I’m coping, here’s another one

[impossiblesuitcase]

I really like that Kai's first impression of Cinder wasn't "wow, this is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen," but instead "she was pretty, but not exceptionally so. Not noticeably so, until you bothered to look. Kai realised, with some surprise, that he was looking."

In reality most people aren't supermodels but are simply average-looking, but they can be beautiful in the right person's eyes. And so later when he tells Levana that "Selene is more beautiful than you could ever be" he doesn't mean in looks alone. He means in every encompassing way.

Sometimes found family is a lost princess who mainly identifies as a mechanic, an android who‘s jealous of everyones tasting buds, an emperor who‘s trying his best, a retired wolf mercernary who‘s actually soft, a no bs farmer girl, a hallucinating princess and step cousin of the other princess, her self announced very stoic very serious bodyguard, a captain who actually cannot fly very well and a hacker girl with major social anxiety

Oh and also the bodyguard used to unwillinigly help imprison the hacker girl

And the hacker girl is actually the long thought dead daughter of the emperors doctor

And the no bs farmer girl is actually the granddaughter of the mechanics princesses Guardian

Oh and also most of them are in love with one of the others

Okay, and if I said this is one of the coolest action sequnces in Dragons Rising?

I mean, like, the way Kai confidently spins into Rising Dragon and Cinder keeps Trying to fight him, but Kai is Way too quick with it, the way Lloyd has Ras scurrying around on (almost) all-fours, and how Ras blocks all of Lloyd's attacks with his hammer...

then Lloyd energy-spamming, shooting smaller blasts... and Ras smacking Lloyd outta his Spinjitsu...

Like it's a Short moment but at least it's still a moment in the series... like really showing off Dragons Rising getting ambitious with the fight animation again after some of the Far more bland and snoozefest fights of the first season (Ras vs. Sora and Arin, Ninja vs Spirit of the Temple)...

[starlingstalk]

I can‘t believe Lord Ras said that. He‘s evil for that.

[yellowraincoat]

In the lunar chronicles universe there are hour long compilations of every time Cinder or Kai has ever accidentally called the other by their informal name during an official government meeting or press conference

Like ✨Kaider being bad at hiding their relationship for 10 minutes straight✨

And then it’s just clips of Cinder going “Kai— Kai— Emperor Kai— Kai….to—“ Kai calling her Cinder instead of Selene over and over again.

[cyborgcourt]

Kai ate so hard with this line I can’t even

„Lunars were a society that had evolved from an Earthen moon colony centuries ago, but they weren’t human anymore. People said Lunars could alter a person’s brain—make you see things you shouldn’t see, feel things you shouldn’t feel, do things you didn’t want to do”.
