Intimacy and Passion✨

[viridian-house]

To wander the continent not as King Rhoam’s headstrong daughter, but as a traveler—with Link not as her sworn guard, but a loyal friend, well, that hardly seems like a bad thing.

Rune Meditation - Nauthiz

Odin met me in the same field I was in for my uruz meditation. (This field makes appearances in future meditations, too.) The field was largely barren. The soil was dry and small tufts of brown grass littered the area. The skies were dark grey. There were a few sparse trees in the distance and no animals to be found. Odin spoke of a spark to help create what was needed for life to return. (It brought to mind the Magician card in my Universal Monsters deck with Dr. Frankenstein on it, who quite literally used sparks to return something once dead to life.) Odin talked about how the field was once full of life and could be again. But in order to revitalize it, we have to assess what it needed/what is lacking. If you don't know what the lack is, you can't properly address it. Any treatment is only a temporary solution if it doesn't get to the root of the issue.

He then showed me an image of someone sitting in a recliner, relaxed, looking out the window at kids playing in the street. I interpreted this in two ways: 1. A lack of war means peace. Peace after the sacrifices of and loss sustained during the war. Lives paid for the comfort of others. 2. A false sense of peace - ignorance at the cost of your soul. "Freeing" yourself through denial.

At this point, Odin asked me what I was lacking in this meditation, and reminded me that I already have what I need to deal with this lack. I just have to use it.

In a world that has gone completely digital, what I crave the most is a real time human interaction..

They called me old soul; now they think I lack maturity

[april-diariees]

I wanna feel I wanna breathe, I wanna look back at my day And not be displeased.

I feel pathetic often I know it's my own fault, I keep sinking further Into depths I can't come out of.

[tenshiharmonia]

I must admit, I cannot help but feel a little betrayed. Don't get me wrong, I understand the why and the how, but as a gay dude who was quite smitten over Muse, the disappointment is immeasurable...

First & Last Lines Tag Game

Ooh, looks fun! Thanks for the tag, @whimsicalmeerkat!

The idea is you share the first and last lines from your last 10 stories/chapters posted (and see if there are trends), then tag 10 people. (I've been playing on the Three Sentence Ficathon, and also posting some of my 3SFs to AO3 - for this I'll go with oneshots posted to AO3. XD)

1 ~ Daydream Realised

(Moon Child; Kei/Sho ~ Explicit; 4.5k)

First: Sparking pleasure rushed through Kei as he woke, breath hitching sharply and head spinning.

Last: Kei might come to regret that invitation, he thought sleepily, and then the thought drifted away as he closed his eyes, comfortably lazy and ready for rest with Sho all but curled around him and already asleep, soft, warm puffs of breath tickling Kei’s shoulder and sensitive neck.

~

2 ~ Lacking

(Vampire's Love (PV); Eito/Ichito ~ Teen; 1.3k)

First: Ichito grit his teeth, drawing his legs up a little more and taking a deep breath of the cool, damp air.

Last: And Ichito wished, desperately, not to lose his mate, that fear perhaps making him sharp.

~

3 ~ Not a Birthday Present

(Moon Child; Kei/Sho ~ Teen; 1.9k) (written for January for the @yearoftheotpevent)

First: Kei stretched, fighting a yawn.

Last: Kei kissed him again and that look of surprised pleasure was even sweeter, he thought, heart squeezing, as he slid out of Sho’s lap and drew him to his feet.

~

4 ~ Seasons

(Epic; Tara/Ronin ~ Teen; 888 words) (okay this one is from the 3SF, but it's four of them and expanded)

First: ‟You’re practically giddy, your majesty.” Ronin observed quietly, unable to keep a smile from his face as Tara twirled on her toes, arms thrown wide and the layered petals of her skirts rising in a dramatic flare around her.

Last: Then she kissed him again before he could deny the need - it was Ronin’s duty and his pleasure to shadow and protect his queen wherever she went; he required no such himself.

~

5 ~ Big, Tough, and Frozen

(Sori Nokoshita Natsu; Kyan/Kiryuuin ~ Teen; 1.6k)

First: ‟Kyan-kun!” Kiryuuin smiled at his boyfriend for a long moment before it caught up with him-

Last: ‟Nothing. You’re a good boyfriend.” Kiryuuin said affectionately, and Kyan’s grin widened.

~

6 ~ Switching Nights and Shared Mornings

(Nana; Takumi/Nana, Nana/Nana ~ Teen; 2.2k)

First: ‟If Takumi isn’t too busy primping. . .” Layla sniffed, flicking back one blonde curl.

Last: Mornings like these - mornings she got to share with both Nana and Takumi - weren’t too uncommon in her life now, perhaps, which was a joy, but she still took care to appreciate every one she got.

~

7 ~ Crossroads

(Crossover: Kagen no Tsuki/Moon Child; Adam/Mizuki, Kei/Sho ~ T; 555 words) (also a once-3SF, but again expanded)

First: A stirring in the mist made Adam pause, allowing his song to slow as he peered through the swirling, patternless patterns.

Last: The mist swirled around them both just as they came together, taking them away in a shimmer of sunlight that did not belong to Adam’s own waiting, leaving behind only that momentary gleam and the soft, lingering sound of rolling ocean waves.

~

8 ~ Heart and Soul (Changed and Unchanging)

(Kagen no Tsuki; Adam/Mizuki, Adam/Sayaka ~ Teen; 925 words) (part of my 2024 Last Quarter Moons project)

First: Adam’s fingers skimmed easily back and forth over his guitar strings, and he followed the music that spilled from his heart, his soul.

Last: So unlike she had been once, true, but she was his heart and his deepest soul, in any world and in any mien, however she changed - and the ways she never would.

~

9 ~ Stories Retold

(Moon Child; Sho & Hana ~ Teen; 1.3k)

First: ‟Ah, your Mama is right,” Sho said, scooping Hana up onto his hip with a smile, stroking her cheek, ‟it’s time for little flowers to be getting ready for bed.”

Last: Then he rose and dimmed the lamp to almost nothing, leaving her to sleep.

~ 10 ~ (Naughty or) Nice

(Tiger & Bunny; Keith/Agnes ~ Teen; 655 words) (written for @fluff-cember)

First: ‟What are you doing for Christmas, Agnes?” Ysobel asked, and Agnes shrugged.

Last: ‟Very much so.”
