@dawnled asked: ❛ you know, i’ve rarely seen snow before . sora , kairi & i lived on tropical islands as kids , so it was never cold enough . ❜

Anna's brows raised in peaked curiosity, having no memory of Sora making mention of islands during his last visit to Arendelle but judging by how cold the poor boy was throughout his previous time in the kingdom, the Queen honestly wasn't too surprised by the statement.

"Guess we're opposites then! I've never really seen warm islands before.", Anna remarked with a light chuckle. "I remember at one point wishing Elsa had tropical magic. I would love to see some sandy beaches and warm suns. Don't get me wrong! Arendelle's wonderful and it does get warm here but it's still the mountains so, let's just say; Snow is our specialty! Especially with Elsa around."

She looked out over the kingdom with a fondness that warmed her heart and yet a longing that broke it. How she wished she could travel as Sora, Riku and his friends did. To see the world she had often read about as a child. But her duty was to Arendelle, so Arendelle is where she would remain.

"What's your island like? Is it big? Small? Are there sea turtles? Is the water as clear as they say?" As she often did, Anna began her questioning at a break-neck pace but fortunately for Riku, she was quick to realize the fault and cased her ramblings. "Ahem, sorry. That's not why you're here. You're here because of Sora, right? I'm really sorry but I haven't seen him since the last time he visited. He was a big help to us! We sure could have used him around when Elsa was hearing voices.", the Queen laughed awkwardly, tucking a stray hair behind her ear. "How long has he been gone for?"

@dawnled --- kissing meme ; "sneaking away to a hidden corner to share a secretive kiss."

Sora suppresses the urge to yawn into his fist. It's late, impossibly late, even for the consort soulmate of a vampire, and he'd do just about anything to escape the "social gathering." The entire vibe is tense; there's an undercurrent of stress as predators people meant to be solitary gather to discuss the darker politics of the city. He feels it even in the way Riku's arm is curled so protectively around his waist, in the tightness of the fingers at his hip.

He doesn't complain about being tired and bored, though. He begged Riku to take him along tonight; he absolutely insisted that he wanted to come. He didn't care that it'd be boring. Please, Riku, I want to be there to support you! And, of course, Riku caved under his spoiled determination, as he always has.

It's not like I regret coming, anyway. He reassures himself as he leans further into the cool comfort of his soulmate. It's easier to ignore the sidelong glances and simmering derision at having a "consort" within the extravagance of the ballroom while he's tucked into Riku's side.

Eventually, Sora glances up to take in the profile of his dearly beloved, and, of course, his throat tightens just a little bit at how beautiful the vampire is. He's ethereal in his beauty, even when there's a familiar stoniness to his expression; he hates these functions as much as Sora does. He wonders sleepily if there's something he can do to distract him from the vying for power within the community he barely tolerates.

A thought itches to life in the back of his mind, and bright eyes move to survey the grand hall --- there, right there, it's perfect. A familiar smile, full of mischief, twitches across his lips. In the next moment, he's pulling away from Riku. His fingers catch the vampire's chilled ones with silent insistence, and it's hard to know if Riku follows because he's shocked by the suddenness of Sora's actions or if he's just resigned to all of Sora's playful antics.

The little alcove feels stuffy, almost claustrophobic, but Sora's laughing (giggling, really) as he pushes Riku further into the dimly lit area. He'll blame it on sleep deprivation later.

"I love you."

Three simple words, yet, they carry so much power in them. He could never get tired of saying them. Never, ever, ever. And in the quiet moments afterwards, Sora takes the opportunity to lean up, up, up for a kiss. Their lips meet in a way that's become more natural than breathing to him. They catch just right, in such a seamless, practiced way --- and Sora drowns in the love, in the aching devotion, that he feels in that kiss.

His arms curl possessively around Riku's neck, and his weight is transferred primarily into his dearly beloved's taller frame. His mouth tastes crisp, like citrus and peppermint, and there's regret that whines from his throat when their lips part. He steals a breath as Riku's forehead comes to rest against his. In the darkness of the curtained alcove, he can only see the glitter of the vampire's eyes.

"Thank you for letting me come with you tonight."

His heart bleeds excitement and love when his lips are stolen again --- maybe tonight wasn't so bad, after all.

@dawnled asked: "people can surprise you sometimes." // MEME.

a weak laugh . ' you don't say ... ? ' hasn't he gotten tired of so many surprises in his life ? one thing after another , nothing was ever as it seemed , not even his own self . hidden feelings and strange genetic conditions ; a dreamlike , fairy-tale curse that coincided with condemnable criminal behavior ...

just trying to think about it made his head spin . even though everything was supposed to be his own , and he should have been able to take charge of it ... exactly what kind of crazy life was he living ? how did things ever end up like this , and not just for him , but for his entire family ? would anyone else , in his given circumstances , have really ever felt brave enough confess even the first truth about themselves ... ?

' are those ... surprises ever good , to you ? ' because --- he thinks that he'd hate to end up disappointed , or disappointing someone . he'd loathe to want to hate , or end up being hated . expectations provided their own sort of shelter , but there were times where even the most innocent of assumptions became a lie , and suddenly , that lie took root and had to be maintained . he thinks ... he didn't want to lie or be lied to , either .

but then ... what exactly would he have to face --- ?

' i ... wouldn't mind it if others told me things that were supposed to be secrets . i'd try not to tell anyone , and i'd keep it close ... but --- i don't know if i could do the same thing with anyone else . it's scary . i don't want my trust to end up broken ... '

nevermind the ruin it'd make of his feelings . a poor word could put his life ; the safety of not just himself but every single other person around him on the line . and wouldn't that too have been a surprise , coming from someone that everyone deemed as innocent and sinless as him ?

' for what it's worth , though ... um , riku-san --- i feel like you've been very kind to me . so ... i want to believe that you're a kind person as well . for that , um ... i'm grateful --- ' enough to give the other a brief , albeit still deep bow . ' i just wanted to say ... thank you . '

"Whoa! Have you gotta taller or am I gettin' shorter?"

[the-composer]

"You still haven't explained anything about Traverse Town. And I have a feeling it's only worse, here in Shibuya,"

There's a pause, at least, in this reality beyond his own, where it almost feels like he's still trying to get used to his own skin,

"----but I'm glad you and the others got home safe."

@dawnled​

“My, my, aren’t you a sight for sore eyes, Dream Eater.” He conveniently overlooks the mention of Traverse Town (and he will until outright asked), instead choosing to hone in what he was interested in.

“The feeling’s mutual--” He stops himself abruptly to reconsider his words. Riku appears to be alone, so they may not have all made it back. In which case... “No something’s amiss...” A solicitous frown creases his brow. “How did you get here... or rather, what was the last thing you remember?”

CHARACTER LIST (May be edited in the future)

Hello and welcome to the official Realmshift tumblr blog. This is a Deltarune Swap AU where darkners swap with lightners, in a similar fashion to The Other Puppet (@the-other-puppet), Lightswap (By Promazters) or The Lost Ruins (By Jot).

Before I post anything else, I figured I should post the full character list.

DAWNLINGS

Jeffery (This AU's Jevil, replacing Kris), Jeff or Jefs for short, the only human in Acropolis who's quite childish for his age and a big rascal. He lives with Mike as his roommate, and he is part of quite a large friend group, who regularly go to Top Bakery.

Kinsley (This AU's King, replacing Susie), Kins for short, the brute polar bear monster of Jeff's friend group who works with a card-printing company. He has been acting quite mean after breaking up with Quiana, but all that he truly wants is to have her heart back.

Quiana (This AU's Queen, replacing Noelle), the sassy drama queen of Jeff's friend group. Although still holding a grudge against Kinsley, she moved on to become a talented programmer.

Samson (This AU's Spamton, replacing Berdly), Sam for short, the short king woodpecker mosnter of the group. He is a car salesman, but his ambitions have led him to try to become even more big. Vocal and arrogant, he is quite the big shot.

Michael (This AU's Mike/Tenna, replacing Toriel), or Mike, Jeff's embracing and welcoming roommate.

Paul Ette (This AU's Swatch, replacing Rudy), the artist BFF of Quianna. Currently hospitalised for an unknown reason.

Jack (This AU's Lancer, replacing Sans), Kinsley and Quiana's wacky son, who's currently under the care of someone else than his parents.

DUSKLINGS

Episode I

Stitches (This AU's Seam, replacing Ralsei), or Stitch, a wise old cat who is the Nobility of Dusk. They are here to guide Jeff and Kinsley through the Dusk Realm, make the Prophecy come true and make a home for all Dusklings named the Domicile.

Sans (Replacing Lancer), the sarcastic and lazy skeleton who is one of the Executioner's servants. It took his master a lot to convince him, but he is on his way to stop the Dawnlings from entering the Toy Tower.

Papyrus (Replacing Rouxls), a confident skeleton who is obsessed with puzzles despite struggling to solve a world jumble. One of the Executioner's highest ranking servants.

The Executioner (This AU's Susie, replacing King), the hostile and emotionless dinosaur. She overthrew the ruler of the Toy Tower and eventually became one herself.

Remer (This AU's Ralsei, replacing Seam), a polite shopkeeper goat residing in the earlier parts of the ruins. He used to be a servant of the Executioner, but was eventually kicked out.

Fucifer (This AU's Kris, replacing Jevil), a troublemaker duskling who has accepted their fate in the box that is the world. They are also stuck in the box that the Executioner locked them in, and are also a jack-in-the-box.

Episode II

The Snow Maiden (This AU's Noelle, replacing Queen), an elegant leader who has spotted intruders in her Winter Wonderland. She hates being bossed around, and is willing to team up with some dawnlings to achieve some freedom for herself.

The Phantom Bunch (Mettaton, Napstablook and the Mad Dummy Ghost, replacing Sweet Cap'n Cakes), the stage performers at the Winter Wonderland, who aren't willing to be under the Snow Maiden's rule.

Fowlware (This AU's Berdly, replacing Spamton), a feathery advertiser. He wants everyone to play his game, but the expectations for it were too high, so he fell out of business. Now he attempts to achieve greatness using a different method...

Frost (This AU's Rudy, replacing Swatch), the Snow Maiden's father and the owner of Snowflake Cafe at the Workshop.

Thaw (This AU's Dess, replacing Tasque Manager), the Snow Maiden's sister and a part of security at the Workshop.

MISC.

Gaster (Replacing the Knight), a mysterious being who has been leading certain Dusklings to their goals.

@an-endless-saga​ said: Diana barely flinched now as the Vaettir opened the cell gate. Had she noticed these things before? These dark fae that had crawled under the mountain? Things of blood and bone that had leered and taken whoever they wished now.

The Vaettir had stayed at the cell door gazing at her and - was someone else in her cell? She rose her head glancing at the side before looking to the Vaettir whose grin had widened.

"Aw, don't look so sad little Dawnling. You get to be bred with one of your kind this time. Maybe it'll take."

He glanced at the male, Diana didn't look - what did it matter? Ugly or beautiful it was still a forced arrangement wasn't it? All in service of Rigelus of his realm. How could Torin send her to this? After what Shahar had fought for? Well perhaps blood betrayal ran in their family. Sandriel had killed Shahar, and Torin had sold her.

Funny, she always feared she'd be the one to follow Sandriel's footsteps.

"Pollux will be here in a week. Maybe if you do your job Hunt you'll get some —"

"Hunt?"

The name clanged through her and the gaurd grinned with feral delight.

"Oh did no one tell you Diana? It seems Orion here squandered everything your sister fought for. Seems like once a slave, he wanted to be one again."

The thing looked between them laughing.

"It seems you two have much to discuss."

They should have never come here. He should have pushed Bryce to stay out of it, all of them to stay out of it and lay low because now he was right back where he’d been all those years ago and he knew there was no getting out of it this time. It was why he just did what he had to do, maybe if he was good they would sell him to one of the Archangels. Without Sandriel alive he at least could count on not having to endure her. Or if he was lucky he wouldn’t have to endure any of this for long but he’d gotten Ruhn caught up in this mess and he certainly didn’t deserve any of it.

He just walked, following the Vaettir but keeping his eyes on the floor. It was easier to be docile, besides he couldn’t do anything even if he wanted too. He was back to being a slave after being free for those few precious months. He’d felt it in his gut, that this mission was doomed and yet he’d agreed to come here and now here he was, standing in the door to a cell with his eyes firmly planted on the floor.

Hunt hated this, hated that he was here and that this was what he was reduced too but he had no choice. When Diana said his name he recognized her voice but didn’t look up, didn’t give the other that satisfaction as he walked into the cell. He said nothing as his wings pulled in tighter to his body.

He used to only know how to fake being good. It was always with a bit of a saccharine smile, one just a little bit too sweet or witty, one that people might catch on to if they weren't such goody two shoes and didn't have the utmost of faith in everyone.

But now, he's actually learning to be good - and overall, it's actually not that bad.

It has its moments, sure, like everything, but he can't find himself complaining - not when it reunites him with his brother, finally, once trapped on the Isle alone, and the wizard boy who's now become the love of his life, his ray of sunshine among the darkness of his past.

That same boy who he loves so very much - who taught him how to even love in the first place, in the way all those fairytales used to make sound so magical.

That same boy who's currently tucked into his side, basking in the streams of sunlight passing through their dorm room window like the cats that sometimes roam the academy. If Riku listened hard enough he figured he could almost hear purred sounds of contentment as he brushed fingers through chocolate strands, and though it's likely coincidental, there's a small smile that crosses his love's face as sunlight catches on the ring he gifted him, what feels like forever ago.

"I love you,"

It's one he's cherished more than anything else he's ever had, besides the boy wonder who gave it to him,

"You mean everything to me."

@dawnled

Once upon a time, he sought the approval of the wizard that had taken him in as his apprentice; he played by all the rules, did as he was told, never stepped out of the cloistered life he'd been given. He wanted to make the elderly Yen Sid proud of him, and to give him confidence in his choice to adopt him.

Then he met the delinquent from the Isle, and he learned how to breathe.

There had been moments of uncertainty as he taught Riku to choose right over wrong - and then, even more uncertainty when he decided to break the rules the first time. But coming home with the boy he'd come to cherish more than anything made the guilt worth it.

Sometimes, it's okay to break the rules.

Yen Sid hated that.

But now that he's curled into the warm strength of his the ex-villain, and the opinion of others no longer hold that same amount of weight in his heart, Sora can't find it in himself to care if he's a disappointment to the stuffy, old man.

The fingers that brush through his unkempt hair draw his attention. His eyes, once closed against the warmth of the daylight, crack open, revealing the reflective pools of sky blue; his smile drips sleepy contentment, and of course, his attention can't help but be drawn to the ring.

It carries a promise of their happily ever after - after they graduate, of course.

"I love you, too, Riku."

His voice is soft, hoarse with almost-sleep, but honest and earnest and so, so full of his love for the young man that once tried to use a love potion on him for more nefarious reasons.

It's a funny story now, so he doesn't mind, not really.

Sora forces himself to sit with a stretch and a yawn, before he casually, lazily, reaches up tug on Riku's collar. Their lips meet, and the kiss is nearly ruined by the rising amusement that ripples through him as giggling joy - but he holds it together as the kiss finds its rhythm, and his chest aches with the love he feels pulsing through his soul.

"And you're my forever."

[dnangelic]

@dawnled asked: "are you sure? because you don't seem sure." // MEME.

' no , i'm --- ! ' really sure ? really , really sure ? he hesitates , his gaze flickering about like the impromptu search would bring him a clearer answer , but there's nothing in front of him save for riku's skeptical face .

--- what in the world was it that he had seen just a few moments ago ?!

something live had seemed to be crawling around in the dark of azumano's abandoned tunnels , forcing even the province's sole phantom thief to suddenly share its usually unchecked , underground spaces . no doubt if the niwa insisted on his witness , he'd have to come up with another sloppy excuse to describe his reasons for roaming about in a place like that in the first place , but even so , what if that thing had been dangerous ?!

' i ... i swear ! please believe me ! i couldn't really get a good look at it , but it had these big , creepy yellow eyes --- they glowed in the dark and wouldn't blink at all ! is that the kind of thing you were looking for ?! '

he knows it sounds ridiculous , and anyone else might have blamed a young age and overactive imagination , ( didn't children always see all sorts of things in the dark ? ) but he chances the unspoken suspicions , if not quiet agreements shared between them both . something like this should have been able to take priority over any secrets , over their lives and their own selves , and the niwa certainly wouldn't pry had the other their own unique relations to magic , or whatever else ordinary individuals considered supernatural .

' i got scared , so i ran all the way back here , but now i'm worried ... ! what's gonna happen if we leave it alone ?! are we gonna be in trouble ?! ' if nothing else , as the first witness , he certainly felt the grave and heavy responsibility upon himself to do something .
