Tri-Arame - Fallen Knight

Primary Pairing/Trio: SetsuAyu/YuuAyuSetsu Words: 680 Rating: T Time Frame: Sometime during their 2nd year in HS Prompt: Forgotten Content Warning: Major Character Death... sorta... Reminder: Setsuna wrote a sort of "choose your own adventure" style story where fans got to vote on various aspects between each installment

---------

Author's Note: Bonus 2nd entry for the 11th.

Also, this chapter was inspired by this lovely work by @myonmukyuu

Summary: Setsuna fails to save Ayumu

---------

A broken sword clattered to the ground at the base of a ruined wall. A moment later, a battered knight collapsed against loosened stones.

The battle was over. The dragon had been defeated and its keep destroyed.

And yet… it had all been for naught.

The Sun Princess was dead.

Ayumu was…

Setsuna’s vision blurred as tears threatened to spill from her eyes.

She had failed her quest. She had failed her childhood friend. She had failed…

“Ayumu…” The name tumbled from her lips as she dug into her pouch.

Setsuna stared at the pendant in her hand. The necklace had been a gift she had given Ayumu years ago and the princess had ended up wearing it every day since. As they grew older, Setsuna had become embarrassed and self-conscious that a lowly knight’s gift to a princess would be so proudly and prominently displayed despite other fancier and more expensive gifts having been given by higher ranking nobility over the years. Yet Ayumu insisted, and Setsuna had always loved that side of her.

And now the trinket was all she had left.

Setsuna had secreted the necklace away before the clerics came to collect Ayumu’s body and return it to the kingdom for a proper burial. They had paid no mind to the fallen knight as she slipped away into the shadows.

Fallen knight…

Was she even a knight anymore? What was a knight without a princess to serve?

Slowly, Setsuna raised the pendant to her lips and kissed it gently. A kiss she had secretly longed to share with the love of her life, no matter how unbecoming it may have been for one of her position. But now that dream was gone. And nothing else seemed to matter.

The kingdom would mourn but would recover. It was not too late for a new heir to the throne to be born. Ayumu’s name would be remembered for generations to come. A new holiday would likely be created and dedicated to her.

But the pitiful knight who had allowed her demise would be forgotten.

Setsuna’s arm felt heavy, and while she dropped it into her lap, she refused to let go of the pendant. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed red had stained the dirt around her. Her shoulders slumped and her head lolled forward. She took one last labored breath… and…

---------

“Someone’s been spending too much time with Shizuku-chan.” Yuu commented. “What have you guys been up to in your subgroup practice?”

“The tragic death of a hero is a common trope.” Setsuna insisted. “And a good multi-path story needs a Bad End or two.”

“Well, I will be voting for the Good End.”

“Not the True End?”

“Whichever is happier for Setsuna-chan and Ayumu.”

“Mm? What about me?” Ayumu asked from the clubroom door.

“A-Ayumu-san?!” Setsuna sputtered, scrambling to collect the pages.

Yuu laughed. “She’s gonna find out eventually, Setsuna-chan. Especially if the fans vote for the Bad End.”

“Bad End?” Ayumu repeated as she moved toward the table where the other two were sitting.

“The knight fails and the princess dies.” Yuu summarized. “Actually they both die.”

“I… I’m sorry, Ayumu-san…” Setsuna said as she felt herself blush.

Ayumu laughed lightly as she took a seat next to her. “You don’t need to apologize, Setsuna-chan. I knew an ending like that was possible the moment you started explaining how the choices made in visual novels affect the outcome and how you wanted to do something similar with your story.”

“Oh…”

“May I read it?”

Still hesitant, Setsuna eventually slid the pages over to Ayumu.

Ayumu read swiftly but seriously. “I see.” She said after a moment. “That is a Bad End. However, wouldn’t it be more tragic if just one of them survived?”

Yuu guffawed. “Ayumu’s been infected by Shizuku-chan’s tragic obsession as well.”

“Ayumu-san would be willing to let me write that?” Setsuna asked.

“Yes.” Ayumu nodded. “I think those should be options, even if I would vote for the True End.”

“Alright. Let me think about some scenes tonight.”

Author's Note Continued: I've been wanting to write something for that fanart for a while now, but it's been sitting on the back burner as I continue to focus on other things. I'm not entirely sure why this prompt, of all prompts, was what stirred my µ's muse enough to write this in a lunch break at work. But I'm definitely not complaining.

That said, this is yet another event entry I will need to come back to and expand before I fit it into its parent fic. I think there is a lot more I can do with this to make it even better. Or if nothing else, expand the arc.

Now if only I could find a translation of Setsuna's novel...

Doing like a Sableye

A Pokemon documentary isn’t quite the idea Nico had for a home date. Pokemon AU, NicoMaki.

A/N: Happy belated birthday @myonmukyuu !

“In this week’s episode of Cave Corners, we’ll be exploring the biology, habitat and lifestyle of one of the most elusive Pokemon out there, first discovered in the Hoenn region: Sableye.”

“Do we have to watch this?” Nico whined as she tried to reach for the remote that was just right out of her grasp.

“It’s better than another of your Pokemon Contests reruns again,” Maki rolled her eyes and could not help smiling when she pushed the remote just a little bit more away from Nico.

“Hey! Why don’t you hand it over instead of bullying Nico?”

“You could easily reach it if you got off the couch, y’know.” Maki pointed out only to have Nico whine again. “I don’t need to see you fangirl over Lisia again. Besides, Pokemon contests are boring.”

Nico huffed, fully intent on getting her offendedness across. “And this isn’t?”

“Maybe, but at least you’ll learn something from it. Besides, learning more about Pokemon is necessary in our line of work,” Maki pointed out, completely ignoring Nico’s frown.

“My fairies can take care of any Sableye…” Nico mumbled as she gave up and huddled closer to Maki, moving the blanket so it would cover her feet. She might as well get as comfortable as she could if she was going to watch some dumb documentary on a pretty ugly Pokemon.

“Sableye is what some would call an elusive Pokemon. It’s a nocturnal creature that confines itself to dark places such as caves. Even if you know where to look, Sableye prefer their solitude as they dig through the soil in search of their favorite food: precious stones.”

“Do they really think people will believe that this guy just found that gem by digging a random spot? That was obviously placed there,” Nico commented as the host expressed fascination by finding a gemstone on the soil beneath his feet.

“It looks like a plastic toy too.”

“Of course you’d know how the real deal look like. I mean, you’re hanging out with one right now,” Nico said with pride and put her hand on her chest before giggling.

“A fake gem-?”

“Shush shush! They’re about to show a Sableye!” Nico waved her hand right in front of Maki’s face and pointed at the screen.

“And here it is, a Sableye! We can’t turn on a light without scaring it away so we’ll have to stick with the night-vision camera, but right here is how one looks!” The host pointed at his side where a picture of a Sableye was put in post-production. “As you can see, its purple body lets it blend into the darkness. The coloration of its gem-like eyes and protrusions on its body change on the stones it bases its diet on.”

Maki snorted. “It kinda looks like you, Nico.”

“What!” Nico gasped and glared at Maki. “It does not! That thing is purple and ugly and those giant eyes look creepy! Totally opposite of what Nico is.”

“Small, short limbs, and those ear horn things look like when you tie your hair in buns,” Maki explained before laughing again.

“Nu-uh! Nico’s cute like a Sylveon and precious like a Carbink-”

“Not only do Sableye eat gems, but they also prey on the Jewel Pokemon Carbink. Sableye can also be found in Kalos’ beautiful Reflection Cave…”

“And it eats Carbinks! Those poor Pokemon!”

“So you say you should be more like a fairy type?”

“Isn’t it obvious? Nico’s like an Azumarill, cute, huggable and-”

“Shaped like an egg?” Maki’s giggle turned into laughter as Nico frowned even more.

“Well yeah?” Nico caught Maki by surprise by grabbing her by her wrists. Adjusting herself to straddle Maki, Nico smirked.

“W-What’re you doing?”

“I’m doing like a Sableye, Maki.”

Maki did not have the time to ask what she was talking about before Nico leaned down. “Nico, what’re you-” Maki let out a loud gasp the moment Nico sucked sharply on her neck. Maki could not contain her voice and her legs trembled each time Nico pressed her lips on another spot, leaving another mark on her.

Nico was all too pleased with the red marks that she left on Maki and gently kissed one of them. “Sorry, you looked just like a tasty gem.”

Tri-Arame: Persona Plight?

Primary Pairing: N/A Starring: Setsuna Nana Also Starring: Shioriko, Student Council Vice President Words: ~1.4k Rating: G Time Frame: The day after Episode 6 of Season 2 Story Arc: Stand Alone

---------

Author's Note: Happy Birthday Setsuna! ♡ ＼(≧▽≦)／ ♡

I'm so happy to be able to post this! It was an honor to be chosen to write for the Shout Your Love! fan zine. And a lot of fun writing this entry. And participating in a good cause. And having one of my favorite LL artists @myonmukyuu draw something for one of my fics. But I still looked forward to sharing this story with more readers, so here we are.

Also, go check out the other stories in the collection and celebrate Setsuna on her special day!

And finally, worth mentioning that I am referring to Setsuna as Nana in this chapter, as she is in Nana-mode through most of it.

---------

Nana wanted to hum happily as she crouched and opened the cabinet door to her secret stash, but she was Nana at the moment and…

Wait, did she need to continue keeping up the façade now that she had revealed her secret to the school? For that matter, did she even need this secret stash anymore now that her parents knew as well?

Nana gasped slightly as a thought occurred to her. She could take her collection home and display it openly in her room now. Her regular ritual of shuffling books and discs among her friends and her stashes here at school and at home was… no longer necessary. She realized she should be happy about this turn of events and yet it somehow felt… anticlimactic? Had she come to enjoy this ritual that much?

Did she also enjoy keeping Nana and Setsuna separate?

She had attended classes all day as Nana, as usual. And she had intended on continuing in Nana mode through the upcoming student council meeting. She would eventually change to Setsuna mode to meet the rest of the idol club to continue the activities of the second School Idol Festival.

But could she have attended class as Setsuna? Could she run the student council as Setsuna? Or perhaps could she attend the festivities as Nana? Would everyone else be willing to go along with that, or would it weird them out? For that matter, would she weird out herself?

Nana reached up and touched one of her braids as she pondered her new situation. She did enjoy the hairstyle, and wearing glasses did help her feel like she was being more serious about things. Plus, there was no denying that she thoroughly enjoyed changing into Setsuna by undoing her braids, often intentionally dramatically, and swapping her glasses for contacts. It felt like she was literally liberating herself to be herself. Not that being Nana wasn’t being herself, of course.

Plus, just a few days ago, Setsuna had told her fellow idols that the student council and the school idol club were different things. She had explained that she loved both, wanted to continue both, and thus had wanted things to stay the way they were.

Except now things were different.

Nana jolted at the sound of the door opening on the other side of the room. Hastily, she slammed the cabinet door and spun toward those entering.

“Ah, Setsu…” the vice president cleared her throat. “I mean, Council President.” Despite the shift in formality, Nana could easily see she was holding back excitement.

“Nakagawa-sa,” Shiroriko greeted politely, seemingly unphased by the behavior of the girl beside her.

“M-Mifune-san, Vice P-President-san, you t-two are early!” Nana heard herself sputter before putting conscious effort into her words.

Shioriko blinked stoically as she approached. “As are you,” she observed before her gaze shifted down. “That is quite the collection you have.”

“Geh…” Nana realized her bag was still open.

“Do you normally carry that many books with you?”

“N-No, I… uhm…” Nana fumbled for an explanation. So much for preventing stuttering. After half a second of thought, she decided lying to Shioriko wouldn’t be effective. Her shoulders slumped. “I was sorting my collection.”

“Oh? What types of books do you collect?” The vice president sounded interested.

A familiar flame flickered within Nana. She was about to quash it when a thought occurred to her. With her secret revealed, a little crossover between her personas was fine, right? Maybe?

“Manga, doujin and light novels,” Nana replied, monitoring her excitement level, letting a little out, but not too much. She then listed her favorite genres, making sure to list fantasy and romance first.

“I should have guessed,” the vice president smiled. “That’s what you list in Setsuna-chan’s bio on the club’s site. Do you have any recommendations?”

The tiny flame flared into a full, fiery conflagration.

Recommendations? Of course she had recommendations!

Nana stooped and grabbed a book from her bag. “I was going to reread this one because the next entry in the series is being released later this week. It’s so~ good! A masterpiece! The story focuses on a couple of angels in Heaven. This one,” she pointed to a blue-haired girl on the cover, “comes from a cursed bloodline, which is why her wings are black and most of her powers are dark. Even her familiar is black.” Her finger moved to a cat on the girl’s shoulder. “And this one thinks of herself as just an ordinary, run of the mill angel.” She indicated a redhead. “But of course she…” Nana gasped. “Oh, I’m sorry, I… I really shouldn’t spoil anything…”

The vice president laughed lightly. “It’s fine. Who is the blonde?”

“She’s their superior officer.”

“Angels have officers?”

“They’re part of Heaven’s military and some of the chapters focus on them fighting demons.”

“That sounds interesting.”

“It really is!” There was no way Nana could hold back her grin if she wanted to. “I highly recommend it. You should read it.” She held out the book.

“Is that not the second book in the series?” Shioriko inquired.

“I have the first!” Nana wheeled around and whipped open the cabinet. “Here!” She grabbed the book and turned back to hold it out

“You’ve been using school resources to store your collection?”

Nana froze. “I… I…”

Shioriko smiled. “No need to worry, Nakagawa-san. As with your former secret concerning your identity, I shall maintain this one as well.”

“Thank you, Set… Council President,” the vice president accepted the doujin. “I can’t wait to read it.”

“We still have some time before the others arrive,” Shioriko pointed out.

“You’d be alright with us reading while you’re here?” Nana asked, finding herself surprised.

“I am quite fond of reading myself.” The younger girl responded. “Far be it for me to deny others from doing so.”

“I could recommend something for you as well.” Nana offered, getting excited again.

“Thank you, but I generally prefer novels over manga.”

“I have light novels,” Nana quickly scanned her collection. “I’d let you borrow my favorite, but I believe that one is at home… Oh, how about this one?” She pulled out a book. “It’s about a war-torn world where magic, alchemy, steam tech and high tech all coexist, and various nations specialize in certain ones and they all combine their might to protect their world from invaders from another dimension. The heroes are so~ cool! My favorite character has this high tech suit of armor that lets her fly around and shoot fire and plasma. She’s awesome!” 

Before she consciously registered her own actions, Nana was miming her Setsuna Scarlet Storm call and response motions. Wait, why was she doing that? She was Nana at the moment! She felt heat rising in her cheeks.

“That sounds amazing!” The vice president cried excitedly. “Can I read it after you, Mifune-san?”

Oh… Maybe it didn’t matter.

“I believe that would be up to Nakagawa-san,” Shioriko replied.

“It’s fine,” Nana assured. “I’d love it if you both read it so we could talk about it after.”

“Very well.” Shioriko accepted the book. “I shall return it post haste.” With that said, she moved to one of the couches, sat down and immediately began to read.

“Well, it seems we only have a few more minutes before our meeting.” The vice president glanced at the clock on the wall. “Shall we get some reading in?”

“Yes.” Nana nodded.

As she made her way to her desk, Nana’s thoughts turned to all that had just transpired. Perhaps a little crossover between Nana and Setsuna wasn’t so bad. The vice president and Shioriko seemed to have no trouble going along with it all. Surely it would be the same with her friends in the idol club, right?

With one last glance at the two readers on the couch, Nana finally opened her doujin and began to read.

---------

Omake

---------

Let’s see… Shioriko thought to herself, scanning the shelf. They’re organized by title, so it should be… Ah. She reached up and pulled out a book.

With the School Idol Festival over, Shioriko had accepted Setsuna’s invitation to join her and the vice president on a shopping trip for books. It felt a little odd buying a doujin, as she typically preferred novels, but she had read Setsuna’s copy and was immediately hooked on the story. And she couldn’t deny that the art was lovely and lent itself well to the fantasy setting. Or RPG setting, as Setsuna had insisted on calling it.

“Ooowahhaa!” An excited cry caught Shioriko’s attention. “I can’t believe it’s in stock!”

She turned to find Setsuna marveling at some school idol merchandise.

“I’ll get one too!” The vice president matched Setsuna’s enthusiasm.

Shioriko smiled and moved over to join her friends at the display to see if there was anything that might catch her eye.

Author's Note Continued:

Here is the Afterward I used for the zine:

Ah, Setsuna, my favorite idol in the Nijigasaki generation of the Love Live! franchise.

As with µ’s and Aqours prior, it took me a little while to settle on a favorite from the Nijigasaki club. PDP wasn’t quite enough, and it took SIFAS, the Nijiyon comics, and a lot of fanart for me to figure things out with the group. And as with those before her, Setsuna faced stiff competition.

I honestly thought a couple of the other girls would be my favorite before I settled on her. Ultimately, it was her over-the-top passion for that which she loves that propelled her to the top.

However, it’s not enough for Setsuna to be passionate about something she loves. She needs to share that excitement. She needs to shout her love. And while performing on stage as an idol definitely allows her to do just that, she has other things than idols that she loves that she needs to address off stage. And I love that the canon material gives her friends that allow to geek out as much as she wants; many actively encourage her excitement.

I’ve written many excitable Setsuna moments, many of which include geeky rants, or at least the implication that one took place. And I plan to write many more. However, with the chapter I wrote for this zine, I decided to give Nana a chance to geek out.

The Nana/Setsuna dynamic is also one of the aspects I enjoy about the character. Her Clark Kenting around school amuses me to no end. And I love that she continued to use Nana mode even after her secret was revealed.

I’ve long wondered how Setsuna might view the two sides of herself after the big reveal, and this zine entry seemed as good an excuse as any to explore it a bit. And include some of the happy geekiness that I adore so much. And have some of my ideas drawn out by the talented myon. How could I pass up such an opportunity?

So to that, I must extend my thanks to Ethanol and myon for selecting me to participate in this project.
