You're my first request ever! I have no idea how well I actually captured the cute-creepy, but I made this! Hope you like it! Feel free to tell me if there's something you don't like about it, and I'll do my best to change it!

Viktor Humphries x GN reader

Word count: 1297

Un-beta'd, we die like me- I don't think there's any egregious spelling errors/etc, please point them out if you see any :)

Viktor first met you through the Range Exchange. You were so kind, always getting him whatever he needed. And when you met him for the first time, his silly little joke made you laugh! Truly the best sound he had ever heard.

He wanted to hear more. So he started inviting you over more- even if it was just to work on something. And when you invited him to your ranch("to hang out for once," you teased), he was ecstatic. He was getting closer to you, learning more about you!

The day went by all too fast, the two of you talking about nothing and everything all at once. At some point, Viktor had gone on a tangent about his work, and upon realizing you weren't talking or replying much, looked over at you, nervous. But when he saw you looking at him with the sweetest, most awe-struck expression, urging him, "Tell me more, please, Vik?"... He was so glad his datapad would record everything, so he could play back this moment.

Later, he would use the footage to reconstruct your ranch, bit by bit. This process was made all the easier by you, albeit unknowingly- inviting him over more often, and when he finished with your ranch, he started on making... Well, you.

Bit by bit, week by week, he constructed an AI that talked, walked, even acted like you- from the way your nose crinkled when you laughed, to the way you picked at the dirt under your nails absentmindedly. And when it was done, he backed it up. Multiple times. Viktor had spent far too long on this to lose it.

Over the months following, Viktor ran simulation after simulation, trying to figure out how to get closer to you. And you noticed. Well, you noticed something was up, anyway. He was more tired, the dark circles under his eyes had somehow gotten bigger, and he made more mistakes- silly ones, that a not-exhausted Viktor wouldn't have made.

His surprise when you confess to him is... Simultaneously hilarious and sad. How could you have not fallen for the adorable, pun-cracking dork that is Viktor Humphries? How could you not love him? He admits, rather sheepishly, that he had never, in all his simulations, even considered you liking him back.

All his... What now? You're confused. He explains that he had wanted to test the Slimeulation, expand it. Make it more... accurate. Given how the copy of your ranch was never seen by you, that seems doubtful. But... You're flattered. He had done all this, simply to get closer to you.

You pull him in for a gentle hug, nuzzling into his shoulder. He stiffens, but just as quickly relaxes into the warm embrace. The two of you stay like that for god knows how long, and you eventually ask if maybe... He'd like to swing by for supper? He grins, ecstatic. "I- I'd like that," he says, that soft, sweet smile you adore so wholeheartedly spreading across his face.

But when the two of you step through the teleporter, you hear a crrk-pfoom, and look behind you...

To see the teleporter a smoking pile of junk on the floor of your Lab. And he's panicking, asking if you're okay, if you were hurt (you weren't, just rather startled) and all you can muster up is- "I guess we're having a sleepover, then?"

He looks... Shell-shocked, for lack of a better term. You backtrack, apologize, but he stops you with a fragile hope in his eyes and asks a question that...honestly hurts a bit.

"Do you...Do you mean it?"

Of course you mean it, you assure him! He's wonderful company, and you adore his banter. As you head to the house, passing by corrals of bouncing slimes, you ask about the recreation of your ranch. He blushes, and you snicker.

As you cook (he tries to help, but one very stern "Sit your cute ass down and let me cook," later, he's perched on a stool.), you jabber on about whatever comes to mind, and this time, it's his turn to stare with heart eyes as you ramble.

You finish cooking, and plate up the food. It's delicious, and probably the first real meal he's had in years. You admit that you always have just enough for two people, being rather used to cooking for yourself and another. He smiles softly. He remembers you saying something about that-he listened to the clip of your soft, sweet voice on repeat.

The two of you finish your food, and Viktor insists on doing dishes, but you manage to convince him to let you actually wash the dishes, and he gets drying duty. You banter all the way through it, playfully jabbing at each other as you finish the chore.

Later on, when you're preparing to go to bed, you ask him where he wants to sleep. You can take the floor, you tell him, but he's not having any of that nonsense. You're grown adults, sharing a bed is not the worst thing that could've occured.

You fall asleep first, and Viktor rolls over to watch you sleep. He's curious. He watches all through the night, and when you cuddle up to him, he tenses. He's unused to physical contact, but this...this is nice. He raises a hand, stroking your hair gently. As he reaches for his datapad, feeling blindly in the dark, you grumble and scootch closer to him. He makes sure the flash is off, and takes what is probably his favourite picture of you.

The next morning, you wake up next to him, and the sweet scientist is passed out cold, holding you in his arms. You smile softly, and begin trying to extricate yourself from his arms without waking him.

It's no easy feat, but you get it done. Checking the time, you're right on schedule, and you decide to get started on breakfast. An hour later, you've got food and a sleepy Viktor on your hands.

After breakfast, the two of you go your separate ways to start various chores. You follow your normal routine, and Viktor heads to the Lab to see if he can fix the teleporter.

The routine repeats for a few days, and slowly but surely he fixes the teleporter. You'll be almost sad when he does, because this has been wonderful. Waking up beside him, being around him in general, all that domestic shit you never thought you'd get out here.

And he asks you for help, and who are you to deny your favourite scientist? The two of you are covered in bleugh, but the teleporter works. And the two of you step in together.

You're surrounded by the familiar crackly vwoosh, and when you're greeted by the familiar sight of Viktor's Lab, he pulls you into a passionate kiss that leaves your head spinning. He pulls back, grinning brightly and realizes what he did. And you're looking at him like he hung the moon and stars- hell, like he hung the whole damn galaxy.

And you're kissing him again. And everything is perfect- the sound of something whirring, feeling you pressed against him, the taste of honey, probably from whatever you ate this morning, you in general.

You're kissing him, and in all his simulations, he never saw this coming. But then again, he never saw you coming- you, who helped him out even with no real reward. You, with your silly little Hunter slime pin. You, who he found buried under Tabby slimes and protested when he tried to help you up. He adores you.

"Stop thinking and kiss me."

"Gladly."

And who is he to deny his favourite person in this universe? He tells himself to shut up for once and kisses you.

Hope you like it!

EUCHARISTIC MIRACLE

Place of the Miracle: Gerona, Spain

Year of the Miracle: 1297

The miracle happened in the church of an ancient monastery of the Benedictines of San Daniele where, until the past century, a precious reliquary was preserved containing a cloth spotted with Blood, that the people called the "Sant Dubt", the "Holy Doubt". In 1297, while they assisted at Mass in their chapel, the nuns noticed that at the moment of consuming the consecrated Host, the celebrant was impeded and demonstrated bewilderment. A nun that followed the rite from above the altar saw the priest remove something from his mouth, and afterwards wrapped it in the corporal and placed it on the corner of the altar. After the Mass, the nun went immediately to the altar to verify what the priest had hidden in the white cloth and with great amazement discovered that it contained a small piece of Flesh, dripping with Blood. Questioned, the priest confessed to doubting the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. And just as he put the Holy Host in his mouth, the size increased to such a volume and consistency that he was not able to swallow the Sacred Species.

This is why he had wrapped the Eucharist in one of the corporals and left the Sacrament on the altar. The little Particle which was changed into Flesh was then placed in a reliquary. Unfortunately, many of the relevant documents to the miracle became lost. The reliquary containing the Incarnate Hostand the Blood-soaked corporal were destroyed during the civil war of 1936.

#1297: “I don't understand the appeal of shipping Azura with Elina, Dahlia, or any of the presumably younger fairies. She seems more like a mother or teacher-like figure to them and I see her as too mature to ever see her in a romantic relationship with them.“

[scotianostra]

23rd August 1305 saw the trial and execution in London of Sir William Wallace, one time Guardian of Scotland.

I posted yesterday stating the trial happened then, it came u in a source I was reading about Wallace, sometimes the historians can get it wrong, but the post yesterday served as more of prelude and a taster of todays more detailed one. Wallace is said to have accepted his execution without resistance and a brave heart. He even made a final confession to a priest and read from the book of Psalms before his punishment.

Types of execution at The Elms ranged from burning at the stake (for heretics) to the tried and tested hanged-drawn-and-quartered method for those convicted of high treason. For those unfamiliar with this method, it involves being dragged by a horse to the place of execution, hanged  until almost dead, then disembowelled whilst still conscious, beheaded, and finally being chopped into four pieces (i.e. ‘quartered) and subsequently having these pieces put on display across the city, or in Sir William Wallace’s case, the country.

I think it only right to give a background post about Sir William Wallace so hang on to your hats, there’ll be no mention of French Princess’s, Blue painted Australians or the like. 

Much of what we know about Wallace comes from  Blind Harry, also known as Harry, Hary or Henry the Minstrel, is renowned as the author of The Actes and Deidis of the Illustre and Vallyeant Campioun Schir William Wallace, more commonly known as The Wallace. The trouble is how reliable can Blind Harry’s account be, it was written over 150 years after Wallace's grisly demise, the stories about oor erstwhile hero would have been handed down through  word of mouth, possibly even in song. 

Harty claims that Wallace's father was named Malcolm, and on this basis Wallace has traditionally been identified as Sir Malcolm Wallace, a minor landowner from Renfrewshire. Sir Malcolm was a descendant of Richard Wallace, a native of the lordship of Oswestry on the Welsh border, (Wallace itself meaning Welshman),  who first came to Scotland in the twelfth-century in the service of Walter Fitz Alan, first High Steward of Scotland. This Stewart connection has also been used by historians to explain Wallace's place in the 'patriotic' struggle of the 1290s.

But  Harry’s story has some flaws, now I’m not decrying the story, just some details like his age.

No reliable evidence exists to gives us an estimate of his age. Harry claims that Wallace was 'forty and five [years] of age' when he was executed,  but also states that he was 'bot eighteen yer auld' shortly before the Battle of Stirling Bridge, which would place the year of his birth around 1278/9.

It shows how difficult it is to build a picture of Sir William.

The contemporary English chronicler William Rishanger implies that Wallace was a young man when he emerged as the leader of armed resistance to the English in southern Scotland in 1297, but this does little to narrow things down. According to Hary, Wallace was raised by his two uncles - both clerics - who saw to his education after his father was killed by an English knight named Fenwick

 One of his uncles was from Dunipace, a wee town not far from my home in Falkirk, it is through this uncle we get an oft quoted phrase  “This is the truth I tell you: of all things freedom’s most fine. Never submit to live, my son, in the bonds of slavery entwined.” The second pic shows part of the quote, it is on a paving stone on Falkirk High Street  that I often walk past.

He does seem to have had two brothers, Malcolm - who would provide Wallace with much-needed support in the later part of his career - and John - who would later be executed for supporting Robert Bruce after 1306. His activities before 1297 are also uncertain, but they may have been less than wholesome. Contemporary English accounts describe him as a 'brigand' and a 'thief', suggesting he may have lived outside the law even before the English invaded. Of course, these may simply be attempts by hostile writers to blacken his reputation. However, a legal document of August 1296 mentions 'a thief, one William le Waleys' as an accomplice of a cleric named Matthew of York who had in June of that year been convicted of robbery at Perth. This could well be our William.

Again I am not trying to blacken his character, I am merely pointing out the difficult job that historians have when piecing together his life. 

Whatever the details of his early life, following the English invasion of 1296 that Wallace first emerged into the mainstream of Scottish affairs in a big way. The death of King Alexander III in 1286, followed by the death of his granddaughter Margaret of Norway in 1290, had provoked a major succession crisis in Scotland. Efforts to settle the ongoing dispute between the competing Balliol and Bruce factions had led to increasing English interference in the governance of Scotland, culminating in a full-scale invasion of the kingdom in 1296. I’ve covered all this in posts regarding King John Balliol, the sacking of Berwick and  the first Battle of Dunbar all in 1296.

One of Wallace’s first encounters with the English is told in typically dramatic form by Blind Harry, the story goes that William was fishing  when he is accosted by five soldiers in the service of 'lorde Persye'  Henry Percy, 1st Baron Percy who was the warden of Galloway and Ayrshire .  The honest, unsuspecting Wallace offers them some of his fish so long as they leave the rest for his uncle - 'ane agyt knycht' - Wallace hopes to feed, but the soldiers demand all of his fish and attack him when he refuses them. Remarkably, Wallace disarms the first attacker using only a 'poutstaff' ('fishing pole'), seizes the discarded sword, kills two of the soldiers, severs the hand of another, and chases the survivors off! 

The earliest confirmed encounter between Wallace and the English administration occurred in May 1297, when Wallace and a small band of supporters killed William Heselrig, the English sheriff of Lanark, shortly before an assize was due to be held in the town. According to the indictment against him in 1305, Wallace and his men also dismembered Helelrig's corpse. Famously, Hary claims that Wallace's attack on Heselrig was in retribution for the killing of Wallace's wife - Marion Braidfute, as Harry identifies her. 

It is apparent from contemporary English accounts of the incident at Lanark that it proved to be a powerful recruiting tool for Wallace's rebellion. As Walter Guisborough put it, 'the common folk of the land followed him as their leader and ruler; the retainers of the great lords adhered to him; and even though the lords themselves were present with the English king in body, at heart they were on the opposite side'.

What I find remarkable is that the killing of the soldiers and then Heselrig kickstarted, the uprising against Edwards army and around 4 months Wallace and Andrew de Moray had assembled a combined army of over 6 thousand troops that ambushed the English as they crossed the Forth at Stirling.

Before Stirling we also had the capitulation of the Nobility at Irvine, I have also covered this in a previous post.

In the wake of the Scottish victory at Stirling Bridge, the English administration in Scotland all but collapsed. The Scots were once again able to form a government of their own, and at its head - now as Guardians of Scotland - were Wallace and Murray, although Murray's tenure was cut short when he died - probably of wounds sustained at Stirling Bridge - in November.

This was the zenith of Wallace's career. He had emerged from obscurity to the very summit of Scottish society, all in the space of a year. It also meant he had a price on his head and was the most wanted man in Scotland.

Edward I returned from the Continent in March 1298 and set his sights on Scotland, he marched with an army North in late June and quickly discovered that Wallace's response to the threat had been to devastate southern Scotland and withdraw with his army out of reach of the English. A bitter and frustrating campaign followed, with Edward almost abandoning the chase altogether. However, in late July Edward got wind that the Scots had been sighted near Falkirk, and hurriedly moved his army to meet them. 

Precisely why the confrontation at Falkirk happened is, as with so much of Wallace's career, uncertain. Until this point in the campaign Wallace had carefully avoided the English army, a prudent strategy that would later pay off for the Scots under Bruce. Guisborough claims that Wallace had learned that Edward planned to withdraw and hoped to attack the English in the rear. This would at least explain why Wallace so suddenly abandoned his previously cautious strategy. However, given the potential challenges he was facing from the nobility of Scotland it may equally have been the case that Wallace felt compelled to face the English in open battle sooner or later and prove that his success at Stirling Bridge - which was after all arguably at least as much Murray's as it was Wallace's - was not just a lucky accident. 

Whatever the case, the battle that followed was an utter catastrophe for the guardian. Abandoned by the cavalry, who may have lost their nerve as they had at Irvine or - as claimed by subsequent Scottish chroniclers - betrayed Wallace, Wallace's schiltrons - tightly-packed bodies of infantry armed with long spearmen - repelled the English cavalry but fell prey to English archery, which broke up their formations and left them vulnerable to a renewed assault by the cavalry. Wallace escaped the battle with his life, but his position as guardian had been irrevocably damaged. It is not entirely clear precisely when or where he resigned the guardianship, but by the end of 1298 Robert Bruce, earl of Carrick (the future king), and John Comyn, lord of Badenoch, were jointly exercising the office of guardian.

Wallace's time as guardian may have been decisively ended, but he remained an active opponent of the English in Scotland. The resistance he offered to the English in this period was not always in keeping with the wishes of the guardians. For instance, in August 1299 an altercation took place at a council at Peebles at which Wallace's plan to travel to France was condemned by Sir David Graham as being 'without the leave or approval of the Guardians'. Wallace's plans were defended by his brother Malcolm, who argued that they were at least 'for the good of the kingdom'

Wallace did indeed leave for France in 1299, apparently on a diplomatic mission to seek the support of King Philip IV against Edward I. Wallace's reception in France was initially hostile, since at the time Philip was himself seeking peaceful relations with Edward I, and Wallace was briefly incarcerated by the French king. However, in November 1300 Philip was writing to his envoys to the pope asking them to promote Wallace's case at the papal court. It is possible that Wallace himself visited to Rome assist in making the Scottish case to the pope in person, and the fact that when he was eventually he reportedly had on his person a safe-conduct from King Hakon V of Norway may suggest he also travelled to Norway on diplomatic business (although he may simply have planned to do so at some point). By 1303 - possibly earlier - he was back in Scotland and again involved in armed resistance to the English

By this point the tide in the war was slowly turning against the Scots. The French were once again pursuing a peaceful policy towards the English following their own military reversal at Courtrai in 1302. Scottish nobles were gradually making their peace with the English, and the surrender of Stirling Castle marked the effective end to organised Scottish resistance on a large scale. In light of his increasing success, Edward I was generally willing to be fairly accommodating towards those Scots who were willing to submit to him, but this was not so with Wallace. Indeed, in the general amnesty offered to the Scots by the English, Wallace might at best 'render himself up to the will and mercy of our sovereign lord the king, if it shall seem good to him' - hardly an encouraging prospect. When Wallace's long-standing cohort Simon Fraser submitted to Edward in July 1304, he was welcomed into the king's peace only on the understanding that he would assist in the ever-intensifying hunt for the fugitive Wallace. Nevertheless, Wallace remained at large until 3rd August 1305, when he was seized near Glasgow by men in the service of Sir John Menteith, keeper of Dumbarton Castle on behalf of King Edward. Menteith - identified as Wallace's 'gossop' ('godfather') by Harry.

Having finally captured Wallace, Edward I refused even to see him. Instead, Wallace was taken to London for what for want of a better word might be called a trial.

Sir Peter Malory, one of the king's justices, presided over the proceedings, which were little more than a formality. The charges were considerable. Wallace had, according his accusers, been a traitor to King Edward, perpetrated armed resistance against him and slain the king's officers (William Heselrig was mentioned by name), assumed the authority of 'a superior' of Scotland, submitted 'to the fealty and lordship of the lord king of France and [gave] him help to the destruction of the kingdom of England', made war on the northern counties of England, 'feloniously and seditiously assaulted, burned and devastated religious men and nuns...[and] inflicted [upon] all, old and young, wives and widows, children and babes the worst death which he could devise', and 'harmoniously and eagerly...refused to submit himself to the lord king's peace' even after being defeated at Falkirk. According to the Annals of London, he 'answered that he had never been a traitor to the king of England, but granted the other crimes charged against him'.

In the eyes of the English as an outlaw, Wallace had no recourse to a defence. Instead, he was summarily sentenced to be executed in the manner reserved for traitors. Wallace was thus 'dispolyeid of his weid' as Hary puts it and dragged naked on a hurdle through the streets of London. At Smithfield he was hanged by the neck 'for the robberies, homicides and felonies which he carried out in the kingdom of England and the land of Scotland'

Before he could suffocate he was taken down and emasculated and disembowelled 'for the dreadful wickedness which he did to the church'. His 'heart, liver and lungs and all the bowels...from which such perverse thoughts proceeded' were then burned. Presumably now dead, Wallace was beheaded - the punishment for outlawry - and his body was divided into four parts. His head was to be displayed on London Bridge (where it remained until at least September the following year, when it was joined by that of his former comrade Simon Fraser). The remaining quarters were to be displayed on gibbets at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Stirling and Perth, 'to put dread in and to warn all by-passers and observers'.

The savagery with which Wallace was dispatched contrasts sharply with Edward I's attitude toward the Scots in general, but let’s not forget it was the usual punishment for any person deemed to be a traitor.

However it appeared that Longshanks earlier experiences with the Scots had convinced the ageing English king that a more conciliatory approach to establishing a lasting English administration in the kingdom. Edward's new plan for the settlement of Scotland envisaged a ruling council composed primarily of Scots - including the likes of Bruce and Comyn - which would advise an English lieutenant who would retain overall authority. Scots law and custom was to be respected, at least in the short term, and it may have seemed to many at the time that the objections that had fuelled Wallace's original rebellion in 1297 had been addressed. 

As we know, the matter would be rendered moot less than six months after Wallace's death when Robert Bruce killed Comyn, forcing him to make public his ambition to become King of Scots. In many senses Bruce's struggle was quite unlike Wallace's, being primarily motivated by his own ambitions and perception of his rights. That being said, if Wallace had not maintained the momentum behind Scottish resistance to the English, particularly in the crucial year of 1297, then Bruce may never have had his opportunity to make his successful bid for power.

Pics are statues of Sir William Wallace around Scotland in order, Bemersyde near Dryburgh, Aberdeen, opposite His Majesty's Theatre,  Edinburgh Castle, Newmarket Street Ayr, St Nicholas Church, Lanark, Stirling Town Centre, The National Wallace Monument Abbey Craig, Stirling, showing it before and after it’s recent restoration,  Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh and his memorial at Smithfield, London. There are others around the world that remember the Scots Patriot who so bravely stood up to fight for his country.

Diluc narrows his eyes at the running figure that he calls his friend. Why were they running away from him? Did he smell bad? Diluc’s brows furrowed as he shakes his head. That’s not it. They’ve been acting weird for quite a while now. At first, Diluc shrugged it off. But as days go by, weeks, Diluc started to notice their strange behavior.

Recently, they look sick. Their skin lost color and their face always seem pale. Thick bags appeared beneath their eyes. And they always cough. For some reason, [Y/N] also seem to be avoiding him, and only him. They are still talking to everyone in Mondstadt, all except him. Did he do something wrong? Then what is it?

Diluc wanted to confront them about it. His patience is wearing thin. He sighed as he tries to think of a new plan to do to capture- no, convince them to talk. Tomorrow, I’ll get the answer I want..

——

How did you get in this position again? [Y/N] sweatdropped as their eyes were on the ground. Ah yes. Diluc fucking ambushed me— “I don’t know what you’re playing at, but I’m getting my answers now.” Diluc said harshly, but there’s concern underlying it. [Y/N] knew that he’s just worried about them but they don’t want him to know. Especially their feelings towards their pyro-user friend.

Don’t make him guilty— Don’t say anything— It’s better this way—

“I.. don’t know what you’re talking about.” [Y/N] mumbled numbly. Diluc clicked his tongue as his hold in their hands tightened. [Y/N] winced a bit, but they knew that Diluc wouldn’t hurt them. It’s just the way he is. Even though he puts up a stoic, cold front, his a baby in the inside.

That’s what made [Y/N] fall in love with him..

But, they knew that their love will never be requited—

[Y/N]’s eyes widened when they felt something familiar rising in their throat. No! They screamed in their mind. Not now!

Diluc noticed their panic and raised a brow. “What’s wrong?” [Y/N] kept their mouth shut, afraid that they’ll start coughing if they spoke. The concern in his eyed became apparent now as he slowly lets go of their hands. “Talk to me, [Y/N].. we’re friends, aren’t we?”

[Y/N]’s eyes prickle when they heard the friend word. That’s all they will be. Friends. Their hands cup their mouth. The vile inside their mouth is rising even more, scratching their throat, wanting to be let out.

Diluc’s hand move to touch their cheek but [Y/N] move. Hurt. That was on Diluc’s face. Unable to look at him anymore, their legs started sprinting. They could hear Diluc calling for them.

They ran as fast as they could until they arrived at a forest in Springvale. They couldn’t breathe, literally couldn’t breathe. They cough, trying to get whatever in their throat out. It was painful. They wanted it to stop.

Finally, after what seems like an eternity, the thing stuck on their throat finally came out. [Y/N] retracted their hand, only for their eyes to widen in fright. There in their palm was full of blood, along with the blood-stained petals of the flower Daffodils.

How ironic. [Y/N] knew exactly what they mean as tears started falling in their eyes.

Diluc is the only one for them..

——

Diluc has been feeling uneasy ever since this morning. He doesn’t know why but something tells him that he should check up on [Y/N]. Its been a week since he last saw them. Ever since then, they just.. disappeared. Diluc only grew worried about them when his mind would wander to that day.

He could clearly remember the pain in their eyes, clearly seeking for help to him. However he didn’t do anything as he watch them ran from him. But now, more determined than ever, he will get the answers from them.

Diluc stood in front of their door in their house just outside of Mondstadt. His hand rise to knock, but he hesitated. What if they don’t want to see him? What would he do? Diluc shakes his head. Now’s not the time to think of that.

He slowly knock on the wooden door. No answer. He knocks again, this time calling out. “It’s me. Open the door.” No answer again. His brows furrowed as he tried to listen if there was someone inside the house. But only silence greeted him. He pursued his lips, now concern than ever. He tried opening the door but it was locked.

He cursed as he tried to find any alternative way to get inside. His eyes landed on a nearby tree that lead to their bedroom window. His mind was contemplating on whether or not he should do it. But in the end, his worrisome self got the best of him.

Diluc climb up the tree slowly and carefully. Once he reached their window, he tried peeking in but the sunlight was not making it easy for him. “Stupid sun..” Diluc mumbled as he got closer to the window.

What Diluc saw froze him, not literally mind you. His eyes widened at the sight of [Y/N] laying on the ground with pool of blood surrounding them and daffodils. His mind is still racing when he screamed their name while jumping to the window, effectively breaking it.

Glass shards scratch his face, but he didn’t pay any mind. He quickly went to [Y/N]’s side. Tears pooling in his eyes as flashbacks of his father’s death flash before him. “No no no! [Y/N]! Wake up!”

Thankfully, [Y/N] opened their eyes, but Diluc can tell their struggling to keep their eyes open. He gave them a weak smile as he cradles their body in his, not minding that the blood and daffodils stick on his clothes. “D-Diluc..? What’re you..?” [Y/N] weakly mumbled as a series of cough interrupted them.

Diluc rubbed their back as he eyed the daffodils. Where has he seen this before? Why does it seem familiar? Then it finally click in his mind. Hanahaki Disease. This made Diluc’s heart stopped momentarily when realization hits him hard. You love someone you can’t have?

“Who is it?” Diluc asked while looking at the walls. “It’s.. no use.. you.. don’t need to know.” [Y/N] weakly responded. Diluc grits his teeth as his hold on [Y/N]’s shoulders tightened. “Tell me so that I know who I’ll kill.” [Y/N] lets out a strained laughter.

Knowing that [Y/N] wouldn’t speak, Diluc sighed as he pulled their body to his in a hug. “You know.. this’ll turn out differently if you would let me love you instead of that bastard.” [Y/N]’s eyes widened at his sudden confession. His arms tightened around them. “Maybe.. I would have given you the best life instead of suffering like this.”

Tears were trekking down Diluc’s cheeks. The mere thought of losing them from someone they love is unbearable to him. He doesn’t want to believe. He loves you too much. “I love you.. you idiot..”

[Y/N] lets out a laugh before starting to laugh. Their tears no longer filled with grief. Their heart was beating fast in their chest as they hug him tighter. They could feel themselves healing. The thorns in their throat now disappeared.

Diluc was confused on why they were laughing. Did he say something funny? But when they pull back from the embrace. His eyes widened, they look more healthy than they ever been. Their smile was bright as they press their forehead with his. “I love you too, Diluc.”

Ah.. so he was the reason why you have hanahaki disease? He doesn’t know whether to be grateful, sad, angry or— basically, he’s a mess. Even though his mind is a mess, it doesn’t stop him from pulling you into a kiss.

Finally.

BanG Dream! and its Saints - Roselia

I am back for more of this series, this time it’s the girls from Roselia!

October 26 - Yukina Minato

St. Fulk of Pavia: Italian Roman Catholic prelate who served as the Bishop of Piacenza from 1210 until 1217 and later as the Bishop of Pavia from 1217 until his death. Fulk served in various capacities prior to his episcopal appointment such as a canon and provost, and was known for making the effort of keeping out of political affairs since he wanted to dedicate himself more to diocesan affairs. Pope Gregory IX canonized him as a saint during his pontificate; his remains were transferred from the old to new cathedral in 1567.

March 20 - Sayo Hikawa

St. John Nepomucene (John of Nepomuk): 14th century priest and martyr who was drowned in the Vltava river at the behest of Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia (Czech Republic). Later accounts state that he was the confessor of the queen of Bohemia and refused to divulge the secrets of the confessional. On the basis of this account, John of Nepomuk is considered the first martyr of the Seal of the Confessional, a patron against defamation and, because of the manner of his death, a protector from floods and drowning. He is the patron saint of the Spanish Naval Infantry.

July 3 - Ako Udagawa

St. Thomas the Apostle: According to the New Testament, he is one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and is informally referred to as 'Doubting Thomas' because he doubted Jesus' resurrection when first told (only to be found in the Gospel of John), and followed later by his confession of faith on seeing Christ's wounded body with these words: 'My Lord and my God! (John 20:28)' Thomas is believed to have traveled outside the Roman Empire to preach the Gospel after Christ's ascension, travelling as far as Tamilakam which are the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala in present-day India. After he receive the crown of martyrdom (in which his attribute is a spear), the reputed relics were enshrined as far as Mesopotamia in the 3rd century, and later moved to various places.

October 17 - Rinko Shirokane

St. Ignatius of Antioch: 2nd century theologian, bishop, martyr and one of the Church Fathers. A disciple of St. John, the apostle and evangelist, is known mainly from seven highly regarded letters that he wrote during a trip to Rome, as a prisoner condemned to be executed for his beliefs. He was apparently eager to counteract the teachings of two groups—the Judaizers, who did not accept the authority of the New Testament, and the docetists, who held that Christ's sufferings and death were apparent but not real. The letters have often been cited as a source of knowledge of the Christian church at the beginning of the 2nd century. During the persecution under Emperor Trajan's reign, Ignatius is bought to Rome and is sentenced to be devoured by lions, hence becomes one of his attributes in Christian art.

August 25 - Lisa Imai

St. Louis IX of France: 13th century confessor who is the only King of France to be canonized in the Catholic Church. His father is Louis VIII, the Lion, and his mother is Blanche of Castile, and Louis crowned as king at 12 years old. As an adult, he faced recurring conflicts with some of his realm's most powerful nobles, such as Hugh X of Lusignan and Peter of Dreux. Simultaneously, Henry III of England attempted to restore the Angevin continental possessions, but was promptly routed at the Battle of Taillebourg. Louis annexed several provinces, notably parts of Aquitaine, Maine and Provence. Louis' actions were inspired by Christian zeal and Catholic devotion. He was a just king: although he exacted what was due him, he had no wish to wrong anyone, from the lowest peasant to the richest vassal. Without awaiting the judgment of the Roman Catholic Church, the people considered Louis IX to be a saint and prayed at his tomb. Pope Boniface VIII canonized Louis IX, the only king of France to be numbered by the Roman Catholic Church among its saints, in 1297.

When you love someone

Last Part of Complicated Chemistry

Word Count: 1297

They stood under the same night sky, looking into each other’s eyes, looking for the answers that they seeked.

Dowoon stumbled into his apartment drowsily. September 29th. The date was circled, writing in the small box on the calendar. He picked up his living money from the counter, reading the note that his roomate had left. Dowoon put the note and money back on the table, getting back up from the chair. He walked to the couch, plopping down and grabbing the remote from beside him. The Roomba whirred quietly, skidding across the floor. Dowoon laid down on the couch, propping his feet up and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Jae rocked back and forth on the swing in the otherwise deserted playground, holding onto the chains. He turned sideways and stared at the ground sadly, thinking about the cashier girl from the other day. Ever since that day, she had never left his mind.

Wonpil and Sungjin wandered around the mall, pointing out things that seemed interesting. Sungjin’s oversized striped dress shirt rustled quietly, his black ripped jeans and white t-shirt nothing out of the norm. Wonpil wore a beige sweater, a blue stripe in the shape of a v near his neck. Sungjin suddenly spotted a music store to the right. “Wonpil,” he said, veering towards the store automatically. They entered the small store, looking around. Wonpil tested a note on the piano, finding it was in tune. Sitting down at the piano, he began to play as Sungjin selected a guitar from the wall. They started to play together in harmony, enjoying their time together.

Dowoon headed up to the rooftop, holding a yogurt drink loosely. He settled into a lounge chair quietly and poked a hole in his yogurt drink. Sipping quietly, he looked over the railing at the neighborhood below. The white umbrella on the table shielded Dowoon from the sun as he rested his head on his palm quietly. He squinted a little at the bright light.

Jae laughed as Jieun told him what had happened in her calculus class, her smile contagious. His finger rested on his lip unconsciously as he listened intently. The waitress came over quietly, placing their two coffees on the table. Jae looked up, Jieun’s story slowly tuning out. He looked up at the pretty waitress as she bowed politely, her bleached hair swaying slightly. Jae’s eyes followed her as she walked away. Jieun continued her story passionately until she looked up at Jae. She followed his line of sight to the waitress who was making another order, the rustic style of the cafe matching her outfit. The waitress tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear as the two friends stared quietly. Jae’s lips were parted slightly as he daydreamed. Jieun looked back at Jae, disbelieving that her best friend was falling in love. She waved her hand in front of his face, unsuccessfully trying to break him out of his trance-like state. Jieun sat back, wondering about how Jae’s life would change.

Young K quietly bobbed his head to the music as he watched the video at the counter. Due to the lack of customers, he had put his earphones in, abandoning his other duties. Jieun walked in, the bell near the door tinkling. Young K looked at the the customer, head still resting on his crossed arms on the table. Jieun went to the prepackaged food section, picking up a small paper carton of milk before glancing at the other foods.

Jae sat on the swing, wrapping his arms around the ropes that held the swing up. His oversized sweater sleeves draped over his hands. His mind wandered back to the moment that he had with the waitress earlier today. Jae smiled brightly to himself as he shook his head. He swung himself higher and higher until it felt like he was flying.

The door tinkled once again as the owner of the store came in. He took a look at Young K who was still listening to his music. He tsked as he went over to Young K. “Go restock that shelf over there,” the owner ordered. “Yessir,” Young K mumbled as he got up. As the owner opened up the cashier, he noticed that there was money missing from the pile. He called Young K over. “Why is there money missing from here?! Did you steal? You rascal, turn out your pockets!” the owner yelled angrily, shaking the wad of money in Young K’s face. Sighing, he pulled out his pockets as the owner pulled at his arm. Jieun looked over to the commotion that was happening. Seeing that it was Young K, she hurried to put down her milk and rushed over. She managed to slip between the owner and Young K. “I’m sorry, this is my friend, what’s happening,” she said quickly. “This young man stole money straight from the cash register! What kind of scum does that?!” the owner said angrily. “There must be a misunderstanding. You must have counted the money wrong,” Jieun explained. “I HAVE NEVER COUNTED WRONG IN MY LIFE! WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW?!” the owner yelled. Realizing that she couldn’t beat any sense into the man, she huffed and pulled Young K out of the store by his arm. Young K looked back at the store, wondering if he could keep his job after Jieun’s outburst.

“Why do you let him treat you like that?” Jieun asked angrily, facing Young K while sitting on the swing. “Just leave! He doesn’t deserve such a good person like you. All he does is accuse people of things that he doesn’t even have any proof for. He can’t yell at you when he didn’t even look at the CCTV camera. He sucks. You should report him to the executives at the company!” she ranted. Young K smiled as she got mad on his behalf. “She’s so cute when she rants…” he thought as Jieun continued. “Hey, are you even listening?!” she said as she looked at Young K. He just smiled as Jieun angrily kicked her legs in the air as she swung forwards on the swing.

Sungjin and Wonpil laughed as they chatted and walked home on the concrete road. As Sungjin looked at Wonpil, he noticed something behind Wonpil. Jieun and Young K sat next to each other on the swings, chatting away as if they were best friends. He watched on as Young K laughed as her words. Wonpil had finished talking and was still walking before noticing that Sungjin was no longer behind him. He turned around to find Sungjin looking over at the small park near their house.

*FLASHBACK TO END OF CHAPTER 2*

Sungjin took a deep breath. “Jieun… You may not know this but I like you a lot.” He fidgeted as Jieun kept quiet and both looked down. “I-” Sungjin cut her off. “It’s fine, I understand that you don’t like me. I just wanted to let you know. Get home safe,” he said as he gave one last smile in her direction before turning away. He started his walk home quietly, reminiscing his last moment before the confession. Wonpil stood on the bridge, crossed arms hanging over the edge as he looked out at the river. He heard footsteps coming closer as he turned to find the identity of the person. Sungjin leaned against the railing next to him as he too looked out at the river. “I got rejected,” he said, smiling. Wonpil looked at him for a second before reaching into his pocket and pulling out Jieun’s rabbit charm. He gave it to Sungjin who enclosed it in his hand quietly, thinking of Jieun. They looked over the river together, heading towards a new beginning. ~END OF COMPLICATED CHEMISTRY~

I want to run away with you - JEN X F!MC

Genre: Romance

Pairing: Fiona(F!MC) X JEN

Word Count: 1297

Author's Note: Hey guys this is my first ever fic that I'm writing because PB did us bad by giving us just three dots from Jen who I love last week so I'm gonna try writing something I wished was true. This fic takes place after hearing Jen's confessional in Chapter 10.

Comments and Feedback are appreciated.

❝

Did I really just watch that? Jen, my gorgeous, compassionate and dedicated producer, who has always been by my side through each challenge, guiding me before each confessional and always having my back, has a crush on me? I close the laptop as I try to process all of it. She could lose her job because of this and Omar knows too. He will blackmail her and get her to do whatever he wants.

I rub at my temples and sigh. But what do I feel? I was a nobody who just got lucky to be a part of America's most eligible because of her. Jen believed in me so quickly and she guided me with such delicacy and patience. Every time I saw her, I got this fuzzy feeling in my stomach and she radiated such warmth that I never felt with any other contestant or any other person for that matter. I knew in the back of my head I liked her a lot, but I kept pushing that thought away because I knew it was impossible of her to like me and also that she'll get fired because of me. I go out of the room so no one suspects me to be in there and I see her. This time I see her with adoration and passion and I notice how her eyes light up when she smiles genuinely. I hear her laughing and god that is the most beautiful sound ever. She catches me looking at her and smiles and I feel my cheeks getting red.

Soon Zeke and Bianca are done with persuading others to vote for them. I walk up to the middle of the living room and clear my throat.

"I just want to say, that even if I do go home, I had the time of my life here. The challenges, the dates and also you guys made it such an amazing experience for me to be here."

"Suck up" Zeke exclaimed.

"Zeke can you shut up for once?" Said Mackenzie and I smile at her.

"I did make a lot of friends here, and also some enemies, I've won a few challenges and been called a cheater but it was all worth it. I really wish to stay and bond even more with you guys and I'm willing to take on all challenges with sportsman spirit. I've also seen myself falling for someone and I will miss her the most." I nervously glance at Jen for a quick second before continuing.

"If I go, I really wish that you stay Bianca, you deserve to be here." I look over at Bianca and she gives me a tender smile.

"Hey, what about me?" Zeke yelled.

"I think it's pretty clear that no one wants your dumbass around." Mackenzie shrugged and everyone except Zeke chuckled.

I see Jen talking to Fatima. I need to talk to her about this. She needs to know. Somehow I manage to get the courage to talk to her. I took a deep breath and walked towards her. She looked at me approaching her and gave me a warm smile which made my heart flutter.

"Hey Jen, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Of course Fiona, what do you want to talk about? I glanced at Fatima.

"Can we talk in private?"

"Yeah we can, come with me."

I followed her to the back of the beach on a secluded spot. The sun was setting beautifully in the scene and the waves of the ocean glistened brightly.

"Is everything okay Fiona?" She asked, clearly worried.

"I uh- after you left with Piper, a clip started playing of another confessional." I struggle to get the words out.

"Another confessional?" She said in a confused tone. "I thought we covered all of them."

"Thats because the confessional was yours, Jen, with Omar."

As soon as I said that statement it dawned on her and her eyes went wide.

"Fiona, I-"

"Can I speak first?" She hesitantly nodded and I continued.

"Jen it's okay, don't worry." I see her shaking a little so I ask her to sit down on the sand.

"I wasn't aware of you having feelings for me. If I were, I would've told you about mine as well." I pause and look up to her, to see her staring straight into my eyes which distracted me a little.

"Um so I want you to know, that I like you as well Jen, since that day you chose me as the replacement of Britney. I always thought, how kind, hard working and empathetic you were and also so gorgeous. I always thought that you were way out of my league and that you would never like me romantically, and even if you did, then your job would be in danger and so I never did anything about these feelings. When you told me not to fall for anyone, I managed to not fall for any contestant but I did fall for you, so bad." I stare at her lips and then her eyes before continuing. "I just felt like you need to know this, because I know about your feelings so I just-" I sighed mid-sentence rubbing at my temples.

"Fiona, no one has ever said anything so nice to me before." She pauses. "I've liked you since day one as well, and I kept telling myself that our relationship is strictly professional and nothing more than that, but I couldn't stop myself for having feelings for you. All these seasons, I produced so many contestants, but no one came even close to making me feel the way you do, I just I can't stop thinking about you all the time and-" I cut her off mid sentence, by capturing her lips in mine. The kiss was tender at first and got passionate later, I swiped on her bottom lip for entrance and our tongues battled together making me feel the most alive I've ever felt.

"I want to be with you Jen."

"So do I."

"But what about your job?"

She considered my words for some time, playing with her hair while doing so and then she finally spoke.

"I'll quit." She said affirmatively.

"What?" I almost yelled.

"Yeah, I will quit, I'm sick of being Piper's little puppet who she treats like some servant. I was already sick of this job and now you have given me a better reason to leave." She smiled and pecked my lips.

I hugged her and breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon the elimination ceremony began and we got to know that two contestants will be eliminated tonight and one of them is Bianca.

She hugged me. "All the best, Fiona."

"I'll see you when this is over, yeah?"

"For sure." She smiled.

"And the second contestant to be eliminated today is, ....Fiona." Carson says in a dejected tone.

I watch as all the contestants gasp while Zeke stands happily.

I smile sadly at Carson and then move over to the other contestants. "I'll miss you guys." I hug Mackenzie.

"I know you'll win it, all the best." She gives me a quick smile.

"I swear Fiona, whoever did this is gonna pay and I will make them pay. It's just.....why do you have to go of all people?"

She hugged me even tighter and she gave me a sweet smile and then her expression turned sad again.

"I'll miss you."

"Me too."

After saying goodbye to everyone, I take deep breaths to get myself ready for what I was about to say.

"I have a confession to make everyone....I like Jen and we're together now." I look over at Jen and she gives me a proud smile.

The sight is hilarious. All the contestants and Carson gasp, while Omar looks shocked and Piper goes still.

"Jen what kind of a joke is this!" Piper shouts at us.

"This is not a joke, Fiona and I are together." Jen reaches to hold my hand which infuriates Piper even more.

"Jen you'll lose your job!"

"Joke's on you Piper, because I quit!" She yells at a very taken aback Piper.

"Hey, at least you got that drama you wanted all along." I said and all the contestants were fighting back laughs while Piper gives me a dirty look.

And with that Jen and I walked out of there, together awaiting what the future had in store for us.
