#secret relationship michie anyone?

[im-not-a-l0ser]

I'm a firm believer that Max is not the kind of asshole who stoops as low as to deadname his victims.

Like, say for instance, Richie were a trans man. If someone tries to bully him by deadnaming him, they bullier will be punched in the throat.

Everyone at Hatchetfield is an alley under the command of Maxwell Jagerman.

Hello, Can i request rottmnt platonic hc of mom reader (she's co-parenting with splinter and they're relationship is platonic) and enjoys spending time with her teenager turtle kids?

Like she likes to talk about science stuff with Donnie, she praises leo and boost his confident, she sewing for raph teddy bears and cook with mikey.

But i guess her only down part is whenever she gets kidnap by anybody she immediately pull out her album and show her kids's pictures to other villains, mostly big mama, that's why the kids try to save her faster before their secrets are exposed 😂😂

Mom!Reader

RotTMNT + fem!reader

Warnings: platonic fluff, movie stuff mentioned, vague mentions of nightmares and injuries

A/N: Could you imagine if they had a mom? Donnie and Mikey are 100% a mama's boys and you can't tell me different. Each parent gets a twin (me and my twin are much the same)

Previous | Next

Donnie

Nicknames: DeeDee, Donato (the real name of the artist), Galileo, Aristotle, Archimedes, and much more.

You once called him Grimace when he was upset and he never forgave you

You are the only one allowed to hang out around Donnie's lab

You are the only one who listened to his info dumps

If the others actually listened, they might find it interesting

You might not understand all of what he's talking about, but seeing your son so passionate makes you so happy

You are the one he goes to when he has a nightmare

Donnie enjoys you singing him to sleep, its peaceful

It reminds him of when things weren't off the rails

He installed multiple trackers on you because last time you were kidnapped you showed Hypno pictures of the Turtle Tots

It made Hypno a little nicer, but there were some embarrassing memories

He once threatened to destroy your camera because of you showing the album to anyone near

Leo

Nicknames: Len, Lenny, Blue Belle, Cookie Monster, Ace, etc.

You are his biggest supporter

He goes to you when he needs help, when he's not feeling his best

When he was younger, he often bunked with you and Donnie

He just didn't like being away from his twin

He didn't come to you often when he was little

In fact, he doesn't go to you very often as a teen

Opting for Splinter

But you can't be everyone's favorite, you knew that Leo needs Splinter like Donnie needs you.

Leo isn't embarrassed by the pictures in the album, in fact he looks at it quite often

Mikey

Nicknames: Lino, Angi, Michi, Goldie, Firecracker, Giorgione, Caravaggio, etc.

Cooking with Mikey was always a blast

He was energetic, but serious

Music would be playing while you 2 worked

You could also be found painting with Mikey

Whether it was on the walls of the skate rink or if it was on canvases in his room

Mikey always comes to you for advice

Splinter and his brothers have a tendency to underestimate and protect him, but he knows you won't

You were the person he ran to about his hands after he saved Leo

He cried, but you showed him how strong he was

How even with shaky hands, art can still be made

Why would he be embarrassed by the album? He helped make it

Raph

Nicknames: Rafa, Alfie, Ray, R.J., Bubs, Cuddles, etc.

You and Raph grew apart as he got older, but you still make him sweaters and outfits for his bears

He loves you, he just feels like being 17, he needs to stop relying on you and Splints

When he was younger, he would watch you make him teddy bears

You'd let him name them, write their names down on a heart shaped piece of fabric and place it inside (like Build-A-Bear)

He still had those bears

Although he didn't sleep with them in fear of destroying them,

They sit nicely on the shelf across from his bed

So they watch over him

Absolutely goes nuts when you get kidnapped, knowing you're probably showing whoever it is baby photos of him

He was a cute kid, but not everyone needs to see that!

[ozrockbitway]

Do you have any Vanguard OCs? 👀 (Or possibly any ones you'd want to see in a deck)

KICKS DOOR DOWN HELLO YES I DO HAVE SOME

anyway SLAPS DOWN MY OC info that I still have thank god I saved this- I really should use toy house............

I've only draw a semi full pic of Michi...everyone else has a picrew cuz Im lazzzyyyy...mamoeni kid does have a headshot tho

Michi

renai fankid. Kagero user. Psyqualia. A really nice kid. A bit lethargic and has his head in the clouds. He’s mostly daydreaming about vanguard and Cray. He keeps an optimistic attitude regardless of how others treat him. He can be a little sneaky and playful, using things to his own advantage (ie. using his cute charms for a headpat) but never had any ill intentions. Thanks to his best friend ‘mothering’ him he is a little spoiled and tends to expect the same from others. When he was younger, he was bullied and kept that to himself, not wanting to make his best friend or anyone else worried. He doesn’t want to feel like a burden to others. Is aware that he is a little ‘weird’ and is labelled as an ‘outcast’ so doesnt want others to fall into that same pit.

Shiro

Link Joker user. transfer from Hong Kong (chinese/japanese) and knows the Soryuu family. Was supposed to be an Aqua Force user. A very serious cardfighter. Dislikes nicknames. Has a hard time getting along with others who are the ‘fooling around’ type. Isn’t mean but does speak his mind. He is actually a very chill and kind person but loses his chill when around kousuke and michi (mostly Michi). Doesn’t laugh a lot, more on the stoic side. Can knit. Might be nominated for Student Council president??

Momoka (Momo)

Mikuru’s daughter. Pale Moon user. A vanguard nerd who keeps up to date with everything, it helps that she works at card capital. Keeps her job a secret bcuz she’s not supposed to have one but she doesnt work all the time. More like 1-2 days a week, 3 at most. Her mom wanted to be an idol and she does to so she has a stressed life. She’s not that popular, yet. Hardworking and determined but doesn’t really give herself a break. She comes off as tired but its worth seeing people smile, on or off the stage. Her stage name is the Pale Moon Witch? Uses a wig or lets her hair down as an idol, keeps it a secret.

Tatsunagi OC (I never named her cries)

Tatsunagi family (takes over after Nome). Like the others, she is simply an observer watching between Earth and Cray. Knows about the half units on Earth.

Kuro

Shadow Paladin half unit. One of the Dark Dragon’s Grade 4 kids. Meant to oppose the Ezel half unit. Emotionless and sticks to the mission. Is somewhat curious about Earth and doesn’t know how some things work. Goes to Fukuhara. Clueless about relationships and is just a pawn to the Dark Dragon.

Mamoeni fankid (never named her either RIP)

nonbinary? Angel Feather/Gear Chronicle. Good and quiet child with a heart of gold but stricken with an illness.

Sayako

Mamoru’s gf. Shadow Paladin user. Has a bad habit of smiling when nervous. Has to live up to older sister’s legacy but can’t handle it so she tries to come off as indifferent/nonchalant. Family thinks she’s heartless. Doesn’t know if she hates her sister or not because thanks! you left me with shit to deal with. Not lazy but hates being compared to her sister. Good but snarky.

Haru (not pictured here waaaaa)

Angel Feather user. sadistic/masochistic type of person. works as a bartender. an ex-delinquent. is still physically strong and can kick your ass outside a cardfight. doesn’t always think plays through, but lady luck is on his side so it turns out in his favor. doesn’t cuss at work but will 100% cuss outside of work.

[shootingsun]

MY POST GOT 1 NOTE (thank u so much @michi--michi bestie u don't understand the amount of joy I feel towards u right now) so here are some A headcannons!

A has driven several people who he deemed as unsafe out of the orphanage, normally people from his age range that made other kids uncomfortable (as in creepy/misogynistic uncomfortable not neurodivergent uncomfortable)

Man knows EVERYTHING, all the hot gossip, all of the secrets, EVERYTHING

Massive horror movie fan! His favorite was The Ring and yes he did traumatize several of the kids at the orphanage with this film

Also liked Akazukin Chacha, not to the same extent as B but he was a fan! He liked Riiya and they would argue about who was better many many times

A was born in England but speaks very broken French and japanese (amongst other languages) because of hanging out with B

This also meant that he would forget words in English ("Dude how do you say passe-moi les pommes in English?" "A English is your first language.")

He liked to dance in his room at ungodly hours on a night.

Would have fought Roger in a heartbeat (and won) less sure about winning against Wammy but he would have TRIED

He used to draw on his walls in highlighter and write stuff on them

He really liked apples! They were A's favorite fruit.

A was somewhere on the nonbinary spectrum but he was also AMAB and primarily masc presenting so he never really thought about it

Although sometimes he would be like "what if I wore a skirt and makeup just because?"

Was actually a big fan of sleep! Always wanted to sleep (like to a concerning and unhealthy amount) because depressions a bitch and "sleeping is the closest thing you can be to death without actually dying"

Man was aro-spec, like really Aro-spec. His ideal relationship was "best friends but sometimes we could kiss if we wanted" genuinely didn't understand why people weren't just dating their best friends. (And bitch? Same)

He didn't really want to be LOVED, just liked. He didn't care if anyone loved him or not, as long as that person liked him, he was happy to be liked. Love was a bonus, sure, but being liked gives serotonin

A was actually a rather affectionate person (and Obsessive as hell), probably would have enjoyed PDA

He wasn't particularly religious but he found the ideas behind religion interesting

Only child. Painfully so.

Attempted to dye his hair red, only for it to come out a slightly washed out pink. Ironically, he liked this more and kept it

His moral compass was, to put it bluntly, a roulette wheel. Sometimes it was morally wrong to punt kids down the stairs, sometimes it was not

A liked cats, thought they were cute

About-Michi

(More professional image to come)

Name: Michiro (prefers ‘Michi’, but answers to either)

Age: 28

Species: Kitsune

Height: 175cm

Personality: On the surface, Michi is a chameleon, changing her demeanor and personality to match her read of the room. She’s a social being who is largely chipper at heart, but good at masking that to be more serious and sometimes even intimidating (if she needs to be). While working, she prefers to take a more mild-mannered approach to dealing with others, pulling the stings as she needs to get the outcome she desires.

But when she’s not being professional...Michi can sometimes be a bit much. She is still very much a kit at heart, and can be loud and over-dramatic around the right company (even if she likes to believe she comes off as shy). She wears her emotions on her sleeves at these times, and to be shown that side of her is a true sign of trust.

Notes:

Michi is the eldest daughter of Toichio’s family, and she greatly admires and supports her youngest brother. As such, she’s not afraid to venture into more human-populated areas than most of the Kitsune Village are. She’s still very amazed by some of huamans’ more recent/foreign innovations, however. She’s also still trying to convince Toichiro to take her shopping.

While she likes to believe it’s well-hidden, she has a gigantic crush on Shizuki, getting very blushy and fidgety when he does anything for her, even just making milk tea. Toichiro teases her relentlessly about it.

Michi is a trans woman. Prior to her coming out, she was one of the top contenders for village head (at least until Tochiro began to show promise). Upon coming out, she withdrew from the competition and encouraged her followers to back her youngest brother. Some did, some didn’t. While she claims to have withdrawn because she came out in order to be true to herself, she was also very tired of the stress and pressure and constant competition.

Shortly thereafter, Keichiro announced that Michi would be undergoing training to be a diplomat for the Village, essentially assuming his role in interactions with other villages when necessary and maintaining good relations with other ayakashi species. He knew her talents and strength, and didn’t want them to go to waste. This is the role she occupies in present day.

She has an ‘it’s complicated’ friendship with Kagemaru. She actually followed after him the night Shizuki refused to return to the Senkitai with him, and the two got into a pretty big battle, their skill evenly matched. Still, Michi was determined to at least show him some kind of friendship, and would actively seek him out to spend time with him (even if that time with fighting in the beginning until she gained his respect). Eventually, by the power of Michi being a relentless, endearing thorn in his side, they did end up on good terms with each other. The time spent together is top secret, and there’s a silent understanding that they don’t discussing anything involving the Senkitai, Kitsune Village, or Shizuki. Should it come down to it, they both understand they might have to fight each other to the death. But for now they’re gonna chill and play with each other’s hair.

Her favorite food is kitsune udon. She doesn’t try to pretend otherwise.

At the time the game takes place, Michi currently has six tails. Like her father, she’ll max out at eight. The kitsunebi she creates can either look like normal fire, or be more purple in color.

Probably more stuff I’ll add later.

((And that’s what I’ve got for her at this time. If you have any questions for her or about her, feel free to ask.

*As a quick note, her life does not directly overlap with Saburo’s. The two are separate characters who don’t interact much (especially since Saburo’s relationship with the local okuri-inu clan is...strained at best), though they can certainly cross paths.

Also the blog name will be changing to match the expanding characters. Maybe Chiyo or Masumi may even appear? If anyone’s interested?))

If you're in the mood for contemporary novels this summer, we've got you covered! Here are six contemporary YA novels that are out in July and August. Which ones will you be adding to your TBR list?

Boys I Know by Anna Garcia Peachtree Teen

*A high school senior navigates messy boys and messier relationships in this bitingly funny and much-needed look into the overlap of Asian American identity and teen sexuality.*

June Chu is the “just good enough” girl. Good enough to line the shelves with a slew of third-place trophies and steal secret kisses from her AP Bio partner, Rhys. But not good enough to meet literally any of her Taiwanese mother’s unrelenting expectations or to get Rhys to commit to anything beyond a well-timed joke.

While June’s mother insists she follow in her (perfect) sister’s footsteps and get a (full-ride) violin scholarship to Northwestern (to study pre-med), June doesn’t see the point in trying too hard if she’s destined to fall short anyway. Instead, she focuses her efforts on making her relationship with Rhys “official.” But after her methodically-planned, tipsily-executed scheme explodes on the level of a nuclear disaster, she flings herself into a new relationship with a guy who’s not allergic to the word “girlfriend.”

But as the line between sex and love blurs, and pressure to map out her entire future threatens to burst, June will have to decide on whose terms she’s going to live her life—even if it means fraying her relationship with her mother beyond repair. -- Cover image and summary via Goodreads

How Maya Got Fierce by Sona Charaipotra Feiwel & Friends

Ever since she was little, farmer's daughter Maya Gera has known what her future holds.

The heiress to a mini garlic empire in the heart of Gilroy, California, she's meant to be a good Indian girl -- which means agriculture school, an MBA, and settling down with a suitable Sikh boy.

So spending her 17th summer at cow camp in New Jersey is a really big deal. Farm kids nationwide convene to learn to milk cows, shuck corn, and, uh, form 'strategic alliances.' But when Maya gets kicked out of camp after an expensive accident -- yes, it involves a boy -- she scrambles to save face and keep her parents from finding out. Hard to do when she owes the school thousands of dollars.

Desperate to earn enough to pay off her mistake, Maya interviews for an internship at Fierce, a fashion magazine she's been obsessed with forever. When she lands a gig as assistant features editor, it's a New York City dream come true. Especially because she rocks at it.

But it might soon become her worst nightmare -- because the Fierce folks think she's 26.

And just wait until her parents find out. -- Cover image and summary via Goodreads

Love Times Infinity by Lane Clarke Little Brown/Poppy

High school junior Michie is struggling to define who she is for her scholarship essays, her big shot at making it into Brown as a first-generation college student. The prompts would be hard for anyone, but Michie’s been estranged from her mother since she was seven and her concept of family has long felt murky.

Enter new kid and basketball superstar Derek de la Rosa. He is very cute, very talented, and very much has his eye on Michie, no matter how invisible she believes herself to be.

When Michie’s mother unexpectedly reaches out to make amends, and with her scholarship deadlines looming, Michie must choose whether to reopen old wounds or close the door on her past. And as she spends more time with Derek, she’ll have to decide how much of her heart she is willing to share. Because while Michie may not know who she is, she’s starting to realize who she wants to become, if only she can take a chance on Derek, on herself, and on her future. -- Cover image and summary via Goodreads

Twice as Perfect by Louisa Onomé Feiwel & Friends

The only things worth doing are those that will lead to success.

For seventeen-year-old Adanna Nkwachi, life is all about duty: to school and the debate team, to her Nigerian parents, and even to her cousin Genny as Ada helps prepare Genny’s wedding to Afrobeats superstar Skeleboy (“Skeleboy me, Skeleboy this money, everything na Skeleboy…that Skeleboy!”). Because ever since her older brother, Sam, had a fight with their parents a few years ago and disappeared, somebody has to fill the void he left behind. Ada may never know what caused Sam to leave home, but the one thing she’s certain of is that it’s on her to make sure her parents’ sacrifices aren’t in vain.

One day, chance brings the siblings back together. Although she fears how their parents will react if they find out she and Sam are back in touch, Ada’s determined to get answers about the night Sam left—Sam, who was supposed to be an engineer but is now, what, a poet? The more she learns about Sam’s poetry, the more Ada begins to wonder if maybe her own happiness is just as important as doing what’s expected of her. Amid parental pressure, anxiety over the debate competition, a complicated love life, and the Nigerian wedding-to-end-all-weddings, can Ada learn, just this once, to put herself first? -- Cover image and summary via Goodreads

How You Grow Wings by Rimma Onoseta Algonquin Young Readers

Sisters Cheta and Zam couldn’t be more different. Cheta, sharp-tongued and stubborn, never shies away from conflict—either at school or at home, where her mother fires abuse at her. Timid Zam escapes most of her mother’s anger, skating under the radar and avoiding her sister whenever possible. In a turn of good fortune, Zam is invited to live with her aunt’s family in the lap of luxury. Jealous, Cheta also leaves home, but finds a harder existence that will drive her to terrible decisions. When the sisters are reunited, Zam alone will recognize just how far Cheta has fallen—and Cheta’s fate will rest in Zam’s hands.

Debut author Rimma Onoseta deftly explores classism, colorism, cycles of abuse, how loyalty doesn’t always come attached to love, and the messy truths that sometimes family is not a source of comfort and that morality is all shades of gray. -- Cover image and summary via Goodreads

This Is Why They Hate Us by Aaron H. Aceves Siimon & Schuster Books for Young Readers

Enrique “Quique” Luna has one goal this summer—get over his crush on Saleem Kanazi by pursuing his other romantic prospects. Never mind that he’s only out to his best friend, Fabiola. Never mind that he has absolutely zero game. And definitely forget the fact that good and kind and, not to mention, beautiful Saleem is leaving L.A. for the summer to meet a girl his parents are trying to set him up with.

Luckily, Quique’s prospects are each intriguing in their own ways. There’s stoner-jock Tyler Montana, who might be just as interested in Fabiola as he is in Quique; straight-laced senior class president, Ziggy Jackson; and Manny Zuniga, who keeps looking at Quique like he’s carne asada fresh off the grill. With all these choices, Quique is sure to forget about Saleem in no time.

But as the summer heats up and his deep-seated fears and anxieties boil over, Quique soon realizes that getting over one guy by getting under a bunch of others may not have been the best laid plan and living his truth can come at a high cost. -- Cover image and summary via Goodreads

[vixlent-delights]

Who knew how attractive curiosity could be, especially from a man like Elijah who was not so obvious with his emotions. It eased Michi a little, even if jot physically visible aside from the smile growing a bit fonder. "It is possible if your youthful self has terrible taste in men as I did." Obviously they wouldn't speak of their own crimes, it was not a thought they allowed themselves to have around others since it could spiral them down a pretty dark path. Instead, the professor opted to chuckle about their bad choices.

While still at their spot, at last they slipped from the chair. "If you welcome me to, gladly." Being with Elijah was somehow relaxing, rejuvenating if you will too, something about it was addicting. Michizane wouldn't admit it but they had to remind themself to keep up on university work so that they wouldn't let their lectures slack. At last they did finally approach, expression more somber as their palm gently brushed against his chest, up toward his neck. "I feel as though I said something really appropriate earlier. I didn't mean to let my mouth run."

He wasn’t convinced but Elijah knew better than to ask again or try to reword it, if he was right then the slight sting of being lied to would feel much more like a wound.. he could understand keeping parts of their life a secret, especially if they were something else but at this point Elijah felt as if he could be trusted with that much but if he had to find out on his own, so be it. Michizane could add another cruel man to his list. “Mm, I’ll consider myself lucky in that sense then.” His list of relationships, even what he had with Michizane, was a short list. Never wanting anything more and never needing anyone to fill some hole in his chest.

“You’re always welcome.” Locking the door and flipping the light off, it was dim lit in the store still and still smelled of coffee and worn pages. A comfort found in that and when he turned back around he stayed out as they closed the distance, a hand easily going to their hip and finding skin under their shirt and letting his hand rest there, his other at his their as well but pulled them close, “I have plenty of ways to shut you up if I wanted.” All wasn’t forgotten but Elijah wouldn’t let the mood from moments ago linger. He’d figure it out on his own time. He let a soft smile cross his lips before leaning in to kiss them, a soft but brief one as if to convey it was fine, “Do you have class in the morning?” Letting his hands leave their body as he made his way to the hatch that led to the apartment above.

AmaOC (aka my jokage yumeship)

(art by Michi)

(first warning, I've already written half of the post and suddenly GOT DELETED, I'm fucking pissed off so this was written with half hearted, sorry)

Before talking about them, I wanna introduce my OC aka Miyō first. So, here she is.

(art by Cenayang_Surya)

(art by Nao)

(art by Michi)

Miyō (美葉) is an unlisted agent from D-Agency. She was recruited in secret and was trained by other agents to prevent information leakage (thus why she sees half of D-Agency's spies as mentors, though she'd still won't back off to making fun one of them or get annoyed whenever they're trying to mention/compare her with Miyoshi). She is Miyoshi's little sister, but there's no further info about Miyoshi and Miyō as siblings (you can interpret it yourself; whether they're related by blood, or half siblings, or even twins—both of them won't tell you the truth).

She has a deep hatred toward Miyoshi and her actions most likely were driven by her resentment. She's gentle with children and animals, but keep skeptical toward human. A jealous creature with envy as her seven deadly sins. I often portrayed her animal form as fox (which also lead to Japanese myth about fox spirit that often deceived people with their tricks and transformations—this also relate to her most skilled capability; acting). Her height is 160 cm with code name [Fang] and her (fake) birthday is June 22th. Her first love actually is Sakuma.

.

Now, let's dive into the yumeship 🐬🦊 aka AmaOC! :D

(art by Michi) (if you get confused with her bangs, this actually her first design before I finally put effort(?) and made her with different bangs)

(art by Michi)

(art by Michi)

(art by Michi)

Another reason why I often call them with AmaOC is to prevent people misunderstanding this with Amari x Miyoshi which often shortened with AmaMiyo (yes, that ship also exist). Thus why; AmaOC.

I also like to use 🐬🦊 (at least in Twitter) to portray them; since we know Amari has a very close connection with dolphins and Miyō's animal form is fox (like I've written at the beginning).

Anyway, this yumeship isn't very different or special. This ship actually came when I was zoning out and thinking, "hmm, I think Amari is the only agent that exist without me shipping him hardly with anyone"—then, boom. Here I am, eating my own words :)

Basically they're just like (cough) partner in crime couple, the power couple type. Amari has been mentoring her during training and probably just thinking her as a mere girl (who was lost in a bad place). Miyō didn't like him (yet) (haha) and thinking he's a jerk who keep changing romantic (or bed) partners as him canonically talking to Odagiri why he keep changing woman in preview for episode 12.

So, yeah, after that it's just another type of love-hate relationship before it finally came into romantic one (although Miyō actually/canonically (by me) was died after Pearl Harbour incident) (HAHA).

I think after that Miyō would see him as someone she can rely on (especially in her worst, or during her bitterness emo era), while Amari sees her as, well, cute (especially when crawling broken and bruised to the top), also as another spy from the same agency tho (so he actually kinda admitted her skills and capabilities).

So, yeah, finally it came to: dog person x cat person; smile all the time x grumpy all the time; calm energy x angry energy; "i don't need protection" gf x "trust me, she won't need them, YOU'RE the one who need them" bf; calm bf x angry gf; height different couple (15 cm height gap); age gap couple (Miyō most likely 23 y.o while Amari probably around 28 y.o, thus 5 years gap).

Miyō basically still gets jealous (and irritated) whenever she found out him sleeping around (whether it's for work or just another escapades), but she's just like, ("ok fine, I also sleep with another man when it involving work tho") and trying to brush that off (but still bitter and ALWAYS mention about it in front of him). So, jokes on her, she was, "eww, what a jerk" to "oh right, he's MY jerk, fuck it" (HAHA).

Headcanons for avatar!Mai and maiko?

that’s really interesting au and i have some thoughts (another long-long post, yes), but before that here are a few remarks:

the spiritual collapse happened after avatar’s roku death and the new avatar should’ve been born in the fire nation again.

iroh vanished (ran away) after azulon’s death.

ozai didn’t banish zuko after the agni kai.

 so, here is my avatar!mai au:

after avatar roku’s death, fire lord sozin commanded fire sages to check every newborn child in the entire fire nation. if a child was a firebender they took them away from their parents and held them in captivity until their 16th birthday. if a child was a non-bender, they returned them to their parents. 

all fire lords through 100 years were continuing sozin’s rules, trying to reveal and capture the new avatar. guards broke into houses and took away children cruelly; pleading cries and screams from terrified parents sounded everywhere. scared people prayed to agni to send them non-bender children (that was sligtly borrowed from the story about moses and pharaoh, i just listened to music from “the prince of egypt” recently).

mai was born weak and premature, fire sages said that she had no spark, and michi with ukano were relieved. besides, to that day everyone already thought that the circle of avatars is gone forever.

mai discovered that she could firebend at the age of six, the scared little girl ‘who shouldn’t make any problems’ kept her secret tightly and didn’t say anything about her bending even to her parents.

she met princess azula and ty lee at the age of seven, that year she also met prince zuko.

she secretly was watching zuko’s and azula’s training. mai had been running to the outside of the caldera and, hiding between high rocks, she tried to repeat their firebending moves.

sometimes little mai had seen in her dreams the tall white-beard man, but she didn’t understand what it all meant.

first time mai entered the avatar state at age of twelve after zuko’s agni kai. zuko was everything for mai – her friend and her beloved. she cried silently in her bedroom unable to unsee how fire lord burns his own son’s face, and that happened.

sages in all four nations saw the light in their temples and announced that the avatar had finally returned.

the next two years angry miscalculated fire lord ozai ordered to test and even torture every firebender they hold in captivity. meanwhile, mai’s family went to omashu.

avatar roku appeared in mai’s dream almost every night, reminding that it is her duty to stop the fire lord and bring balance to the world. terrified mai replied to him that she never asked for that. she had been wearing her mask of nonchalance and cold daily, although everything inside her squirms from the fear.

she returned to the fire nation at the age of fifteen, and was met by ‘dishonored’ zuko who’s only desire was to capture the avatar and restore his honor.

mai tiredly confessed to him that she’s the avatar.

zuko didn’t believe her at first, even scowled because she’s ‘mocking’ him. mai created the fire and zuko was terrified. he couldn’t believe in it.

he begged her to surrender to his father and mai, angered by his ‘betrayal’, turned into the avatar state again, pushing him away by her uncontrolled airbending.

all next day mai was planning her escape, afraid that zuko would betray her this time for real.

he intercepted her right before her leaving and whispered that he wanted to help her to restore balance and bring peace. his father was doing horrible things, now zuko understood. mai only nodded, and then, for hers and zuko’s surprise, she hugged him tightly.

after long preparations they succeeded to release the last dragon, chained in the undergrounds of the royal palace (that is the reference to the show “merlin”).

zuko and mai flew away on druk from the fire nation. furious ozai sent azula to catch them.

after long weeks of helpless searching and hiding from azula, mai and zuko found ty lee. ty lee joined them happily.

after visiting every ruined town and devastated village, after seeing wounded, broken, helpless people, desperation and guilt were growing in mai more with every day. she couldn’t bend, she couldn’t help them. she was a failure, not the avatar.

zuko and ty lee had seen it, and tried to help her, but mai locked from them and pretended that she was fine.

they found iroh in ba sing se. he helped them to hide (somehow, they managed to hide druk too) and tried to teach them firebending, but neither mai, nor zuko had fire inside them.

mai and zuko flew to the sun warriors ruins to learn the true firebending from masters.

exited mai kissed zuko that day, he kissed her in return. no need to mention how embarrassed they were after that spontaneous kiss. of course, they felt mutual attraction, but they couldn’t start a relationship in the middle of the war.

they flew to the southern air temple to find an airbender teacher for mai. there were only a few ancient monks – genocide survivors, and a twelve-year-old boy.

the bald twelve-year-boy - sifu aang - agreed to teach mai airbending, while sifu - hotman  - zuko was continuing with their firebending training.

people from the northern water tribe refused to help them because they didn’t believe in mai’s good intentions.

frustrated mai started to see in her visions two girls.

siblings katara and sokka escaped from the northern water tribe. despite their hate for the fire nation, they agreed to teach mai because the avatar was their last hope.

they were travelling across the earth kingdom, helping people and fighting with the fire nation soldiers (led by azula) until they found toph.

mai was slightly embarrassed to be educated by a bunch of kids, but she had no choice.

when mai felt insecurity and fear, knowing that the entire world depends on her, she locked from her friends. only zuko could reach her and comfort her, only in his warm embrace she felt safe and could be “just mai”.

before the sozin’s comet mai kissed zuko desperately, thinking that was their last time.

first, she was fighting for zuko, and only then for the world’s peace. she hated ozai more than anyone and i do not think she preferred mercy in the end (sorry not sorry).

a few years after the war’s end, young fire lord zuko asked for her hand. mai refused at first, saying that she couldn’t be the avatar and the fire lady at the same time.

stubborn zuko never stopped convincing her how blessed and successful their union could be, until she agreed. after all, zuko always had her heart.

 (mai would definitely ‘beat’ koh spirit hah)

honestly, i think i failed it, didn’t i? i’m really sorry.

but anyway thank you so much for the ask! avatar mai is such an interesting trope, who knows, maybe i’ll write some more about it one day (and include more maiko interaction).

Okay the funniest thing about Michi and Juliette trying to set up Bonnie and Shoji unaware that Bonnie was dating Alley is that people are like: "YOU TWO WERE SO BAD AT HIDING THE FACT YOU WERE CRUSHING ON EACH OTHER, HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO KEEP YOUR RELATIONSHIP A SECRET, WHAT-"

Everyone: YOU’RE LITERALLY A MIND READER HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW

Juliette: To be fair I’m not very observant when I’m not focused on something. And SOMEBODY was taking too long so I didn’t pay attention to him anymore

Alley: well sOrRy

Eiji, Tatsuya and Louis: If it makes anyone feel better, WE knew, idk why those two didn’-

How to Leash Your Girls: A Fire Foursome Drabble

Here are some more Fire Foursome headcanons if you like. And if you think they are good enough can you please leave a comment under my AO3 page while also putting them on your AOE Fire Foursome page? Thanks!

KEY POINT: The headcanons in this assume an Azula who has gotten the help she has needed, make amends with everyone, and rekindled her friendship with her old friends and Zuko before Zuko, Mai, and Ty Lee initiated Azula into their "arrangement."

Q: What if Zuko decided to keep the other members of The Foursome on leash in public while goes about his duty for a day? And what kind of bribes would the girls require before being leashed, if they require any at all?

General Note: This scenario takes place well before any kids are even born for Zuko would never do this if they had any kids together. This is because he would never embarrass the mother(s) of his kid(s) like that or his kid(s) period. And if Zuko was stupid/evil enough to ask, the girls would harshly reject Zuko before Ty Lee chi blocked him, with Mai then pinning him to a wall, and then the two girls having Azula shoot Zuko with (weak) lighting before forcing him to sleep alone in a guest bedroom for at least a month and banned from touching them at all for at least that long as well.

Initially: All three of the girls vehemently reject Zuko’s request. On Ty Lee’s end, she doesn’t like the idea of ever being tied down and being put on a leash is literally being tied down. On Mai’s end, a leash is a literal manifestation of how she felt for most of her childhood due to her parents’ and Azula’s controlling nature. And while she has forgiven her parents and Azula, she never wants to be “leashed” again. On Azula’s end, she admonishes Zuko for even thinking of the idea since it reminds her of the times she got straightjacketed for long periods of time while in the asylum and thus is liable to trigger one of her episodes. Not that Azula blames Zuko for that now since she realized long ago that Zuko had a nation to rebuild and he had shown her mercy when everyone other than the peacenik Avatar had called for her head and/or bending even if their nation’s medieval understanding of mental health at the time only hurt her. But she is still upset by the suggestion since he of all people should know what restraints like that do to her psyche.

Bribe (Ty Lee): When Zuko presses her about wearing the leash, Ty Lee eventually agrees but she has some take it or leave it requests which Zuko happily agrees to even though it will decrease what little free time he has. The first one is that Zuko has to spend more time with her mediating. For Mai really doesn’t see the point of mediation and Azula is very lacking spiritually while Zuko is really the only other person in The Foursome with an interest in spirituality. And to make things worse, while Mai does trust Ty Lee’s aura sense and Azula in time has learned to do the same, only Zuko wholeheartedly trusts in Ty Lee’s spirituality. And Ty Lee’s second request is that she gets to have more one-on-one dates with Zuko. Not that she is trying to usurp Mai’s position as Zuko main girl, or that she is upset that Zuko gives priority access to Mai, but Ty Lee really likes Zuko and one of the joys in her life is getting to know post-redemption Zuko, whose behavior has mostly reverted in time to the kind and sweet person she knew before Ozai’s abuse almost broke him.

Bribe (Mai): When Zuko comes back to her and begs her to be leashed, Mai initially acts like she still isn’t going to listen to Zuko request until Zuko starts to beg her. Realizing that she has Zuko right where she wants him and will be able to get him to agree to something that normally he wouldn’t. So she makes his demand: she wants the ability to peg Zuko whenever she desires when they have a love making session instead of the once a week agreement they currently have. For Mai loves using her strap-on to dominate her lovers: she loves fucking Ty Lee doggy style while grabbing Ty Lee’s braid; she loves pulling Azula’s legs up and edging Azula until Azula begs her queen (Mai makes sure that Azula refers to her as her queen whenever they are in the bedroom) to let her cum; and she especially loves doggy fucking Zuko. For Zuko is the most high strung man she knows, not that she doesn’t love that about him, and loves slowly pounding his ass until he is a whimpering mess and then, after cumming herself, slowly jerking him off while still inside of him until he loudly moans and cums. But unfortunately, anal takes a lot more out of Zuko than the girls and so they came to an agreement that she can only peg him once a week. That and the fact that world leaders once mocked Zuko for coming to an international meeting one day walking like he had been fucked in the ass (spoiler alert: Mai had destroyed his ass the previous night). But if Zuko was going to put her on a leash in public she no longer cared about the sanctity of Zuko’s asshole or his public image. And even if Zuko shudders at what will happen, both in anticipation of the pleasure, pain, and public shaming he will soon face, he happily agrees.

Bribe (Azula): 

Zuko then goes to Azula’s office after arranging for a private meeting, but Azula is already aware well in advance of what Zuko was going to ask (even after all these years and Azula’s constant advice, Zuko was still an open book) and already her demands prepared, confident that Zuko will agree to them. And what are Azula’s demands? They are to be Zuko’s little spoon for the majority of the week and that she gets to tease Ursa directly about their arrangement. Zuko immediately tried pushing back against her first request, pointing out that Mai had always been his little spoon from the moment they had first started dating, and that it was not under either of their control to change that. For Mai made it very clear to everyone in The Foursome that she was to always be Zuko’s little spoon and if anyone challenged that they were getting cut. 

But Azula then revealed that she had come to an agreement with Mai regarding that topic. And what was that agreement? That Mai, whenever she desired, got to take one of them from behind while the other laid underneath the one being taken and fucked them in the other available hole while kissing each other. And then once they came, the siblings would switch positions and continue once again. For Mai loves seeing the siblings go at it and once Azula suggested her “accommodation”, Mai blushed at the thought of being able to directly partake in the hot and taboo action while also getting pleasured by Ty Lee (who also agreed to Azula’s new sexual arrangement) and agreed to the new little spoon arrangement (Mai would become Ty Lee’s little spoon instead of Azula for the nights Mai and Azula switched places). Zuko then asked how Ty Lee could also pleasure Mai at the same time with Azula quickly responding that Ty Lee would also be using her strap-on and anally fuck Mai while Mai was fucking one of them, with Azula quickly making a drawing to illustrate the positioning with stick figures, with Ty Lee taking Mai from behind before burning it. 

Zuko agreed that the sex positions would be highly pleasurable and he did like comforting Azula, who thanks to her therapy, now knew how to properly show affection and appreciation towards her loved ones even if she struggled to do so. But how were they going to exactly tease their mother? While they were finally going to go public with their relationship (Ch.2 for details), Zuko didn’t want to push the issue. But that is exactly what Azula wanted to do because she wanted to show mother she had finally become the “good little sister” mother had always wanted her to be. Zuko scoffed at the idea for they were more than brother and sister at this point, but he agreed for he finally got all his girls to agree to his desire without having to give up that much in return. Agni! If anything his life was going to only get better. And besides, how would Azula teasing their mother about their relationship be any worse than him putting her on a lease with his other lovers?

Results: 

The day Zuko introduced his leached girls to the public was one to remember. For when Mai (she is Zuko’s head advisor alongside Azula), Azula, and Ty Lee (Zuko got her off work for the day) entered court with Zuko, people gawked for a minute straight before Mai told them to go on with today’s agenda lest she dismissed them all and their claims would end up on the waiting list which was a least six months long the last time Mai checked. The rest of day until lunch was spend working but everyone was shocked that: Zuko had a harem; that his full blooded sister was part of said harem despite their contentious past; and that the girls, who had a reputation of being strong willed and independent, would allow Zuko to leash them. 

And when lunch time came, they went to eat with Ursa, Kiyi, Noren, Tom Tom, Michi, and Iroh where all hell broke loose. This was because Azula took the liberty to tease her mother, telling Ursa that she, Ty Lee, and Mai had found their purpose in life: being Zuko’s bitches and that she was trying to be the little sister Ursa had always wanted her to be by being Zuko’s attack dog before aggressively barking to show her enthusiasm. Zuko tried yanking on Azula’s leash to stop her but the damage was done, for Ursa fainted at the realization that her suspicions were true and that they were in an incestous relationship alongside their old friends. Noren, after staring at the spectacle, carried Ursa to the palace healer while Kiyi and Tom Tom started laughing at the absurd situation they found themselves in before mocking everyone else for missing the obvious. For how could everyone see how love dubby The Foursome were in public, despite the attempts to keep their relationship a secret, and not see where they were all in a relationship? They also found it funny to see Azula and Mai, who usually don’t take shit from anyone and are very prideful, engage in such a humiliating and public act of submission. Azula and Mai wanted to put their siblings in their place but realized they didn’t have a foot to stand on. That and because they couldn’t reach them due to their leashes not being long enough. Michi was disgusted by the degeneracy in front of her but she reminded herself that Mai is Fire Lady, and thus mother to the future heir. So she is able to put aside her true feelings and smile. Iroh was both weirded out and proud. Weird out in the sense that he couldn’t understand why Zuko had an incestous relationship...let alone one with Azula of all people. And why did he leash his women? Did he not understand what he was doing to his reputation or the reputation of the Fire Nation? But on the other hand, Iroh was proud that Zuko had a loving harem where he was so in charge that he could put some of the most powerful and prideful women in leashes. Iroh also had an intrusive thought where he wondered if he could have “redeemed” Ozai, if Ozai was Oza instead but he quickly dismissed it. 

Lunch was short but tense before The Foursome headed back to court, where it was more of the same. Later on that day, Ursa woke up in her bed, wondering out loud if what she saw early today was just a bad nightmare. But Noren, who was sitting at their personal desk, shook his head before coming to her bed to comfort her. Noren then explained to her that he had suspected The Foursome being a thing for a long time but didn’t expose them out of respect for them and Ursa. He then told her that royalty had long history of having weird peccadilloes and, even if an incest harem weirds him out, it was utimately harmless. Besides, it seems like they actually love each other and seem to bring out the best out of each other, which he thinks is what Ursa wants for her kids, since he knows about their history and thinks that all Ursa wants for them to be self-actualized people content with their lives. Ursa first frowns at what Noren says but eventually agrees with him for all she just wanted her babies to be happy? And if being together does that for them then she just has to get used to it? Right?

And speaking of happiness, after they were done in court the foursome went to the gardens where Zuko started to fulfill the promises he made to his girls by mediating with Ty Lee. Mai and Azula initially complained but once they saw how happy Ty Lee was they shut up. And when they realized that they weren’t going anywhere due to their leashes, they started to meditate alongside their lovers and found that even if they still didn’t understand how it was supposed to help your spirituality, it did help relax them after a stressful day in court. After Ty Lee and Zuko finished, they then went to dinner, where Mai and Azula asked if they could join Ty Lee and Zuko’s mediation sessions and Ty Lee and Zuko quickly agreed, happy that their loved ones finally realized the benefits of mediation. 

They then headed to Zuko and Mai’s chambers, where after engaging in foreplay and making sure that everyone was ready, Zuko started to fulfill his bargain with Mai by pinning Azula to the bed before taking her, while Mai took him from behind while also having Ty Lee take Mai from behind as well. Normally The Foursome had incredibly stamina in the bedroom thanks to their incredible physical condition, but their conditioning was no match for the novel sex position. For the entanglement of limbs, the sibling on sibling action, and the fact that they were all (literally) connected to each other excited them to the point that they only lasted a couple of minutes before they loudly and messily orgasmed on each other. After taking a couple of minutes to catch their breath, Zuko started to switch positions so they could engage in the other position that Mai desired but Azula stopped and suggested a new course. Instead of her straddling Zuko while Mai took her from behind, Zuko would lean against a wall while fucking Azula in the ass in a standing full nelson while Mai, who would be standing as well, would fuck Azula in her pussy and Ty Lee would take Mai from behind while pressing her hands against the wall. Of course if Mai didn’t like that they would continue with the prior agreed position Azula quickly made clear but Mai gave Azula an affectionate kiss on the forehead while patting Azula’s head and told her it was an excellent idea. The Foursome then got into position, making sure they were all stable in their positioning before going at it. And boy did they need to be secure for the novelty of the position combined with heighted closeness and pressure from essentially being squished together made The Foursome even last shorter than the last time and almost made them collapse to the floor due to their powerful orgasms making them lose their bearings for a moment. 

After gently releasing each other and taking a moment to catch their breath, the exhausted Foursome took a quick shower before entering bed, with Mai as Ty Lee’s little spoon and Azula as Zuko’s. And as Zuko started to fall asleep Zuko reflected on how this was just the beginning. For he had a date set up with Ty Lee in the morning after he was done with his morning training but before he had to go to court. And he still had to deal with his mother and the probable public and international backlash to his stunt. Not to mention the very likely intervention his friends would stage in the near future for surely Zuko would have had to lose his mind to be in a harem with Azula, let alone publically leash his girls. But as he laid in bed, with his girls soundly asleep, Zuko was happy with what happened and was going to happen for the experience had brought them all closer, which was the whole point of leashing his girls in the first place. Thus, content with life, Zuko fell asleep, ready to deal with any challenges since he knew his girls would do anything for him and that he in turn would do anything for them.

The Murderess of the Grunewald (23): Secret Whitsun Holiday on Rügen (12): Sharing Joy and Suffering (6e) - Jamie's Story (III)

“Pferd” by Arnuchulo

Previously

Monday night, Whitsun weekend 2020, three days after Claire's release from prison

        "I did nothing. The problem has been solved in a different way."         Claire raised her head and looked at him questioningly.

        "As I said, her parents have a horse breeding farm near Berlin and she was an enthusiastic rider. But that did not save her from having a riding accident. A horse threw her off on a ride. Obviously, the animal had repelled her as much as the humans she met. She fell, as they say, so bad, she broke her neck."         Claire looked at him wide-eyed. Then she shook her head slightly and muttered:         "Pride comes before the fall."          Jamie was silent. He pulled her back to him and she rested her head on his chest again.         "And the block of shares?" Claire asked after a few moments.         "We have reported our discovery to the tax office through a lawyer specializing in tax law. We were believed, we paid the taxes and everything was fine."

    "But that was not the end of your conflict with Jenny, wasn't it?"         "Oh no! If my sister has taken something into her head, then she does not rest until she has reached her goal."         "Not a bad quality ..."         "No. Not as long as you stay out of other people's lives."         "What did she do then?"

“Platz-Einstellungen” by RDLH

        "In the fall of that year, she invited another woman. It was the granddaughter of a woman who once worked for our family as a cook and retired a few years ago. I already knew the girl from our childhood days. She is ... a few years younger. Honestly, I totally forgot her ... "         "But she didn't forget you?"          Claire looked at him with a look that subtly combined her smile with her investigative question.          "No," he answered and sighed.          "Did you ... give her a reason?"          Jamie would have liked to avoid answering her. But he knew Claire would not give up now.         "You should have become a public prosecutor, Dr. Beauchamp ... "         "I only refer to what we promised ourselves. We always wanted to tell each other the truth ... Wasn’t that so, Dr. Fraser?"         He did not answer, but leaned down and kissed her forehead.          "I kissed her once ..."          "Only once?"          "Yes. My goodness, I was a teenager! Didn’t you do that in your teenage years?"         "No."         Claire looked up and grinned at him.         "No?"         Jamie could not believe what he was hearing. But before he could start questioning her, Claire answered:         "I kissed a boy for the first time before I was a teenager."

“Nil * Assuan * Elephantine” by KHGraf

        She grinned all over her face.         "I didn’t want to wait that long. I was eight and it was in Egypt. My uncle was busy with one of his excavations there. The boy was the son of the Dragoman. He was much older than me."         Jamie straightened up. That also forced Claire to sit up.         He looked shocked. Then he asked:         "You were eight? And he was much older?"         "Yes," she answered in amusement, "he was nine. That is a huge age difference if you're an eight-year-old girl!"         Jamie let the air he had subconsciously hold in his lungs escape from his mouth.         "The next one or to say it better,  the first real kiss followed in my teenage years. I was 19 and had just met Frank ... "                 Before Jamie could say or ask, she went on:         "But do not try to distract me, Dr. Fraser! This is not about me. So what about the granddaughter of that former cook?"         Jamie took a deep breath, then sank back onto the sofa, pulling Claire with him.         "Well, I kissed her someday. Then there was another thing.”

        “Another thing?”

        “One time during her summer vacation, when she visited her grandmother, she broke a porcelain vase that stood in our living room. She was very scared that she would be beaten for it, so I took the blame on me and also the beatings that my father gave me. That and the kiss was many years back, but she probably saw more in it. I do not know how or where Jenny met her again. In any case, my sister invited her to Potsdam on a weekend that I was there too. However, Jenny had not told me about her coming."         Jamie reached for his teacup, but Claire held him back.         "The tea is all," she said.         Jamie started to get up.

        "Then I'll cook some new."         Claire got up too.        "I come with you."

        Jamie followed her, and Bismarck and Adso rose as if on command. Together they entered the hallway into the kitchen.         While Claire was pouring water from the water filter into the hot water kettle, Jamie opened the cupboard door behind which were the teas he had brought from Berlin.         "What kind would you like?"         "No. 964, Oranges Oolong. Except ... you want something different ..."         "No. That's O.k."         He handed her the glass of tea.         While they first waited for the water to get hot and then for the tea to finish, they continued their conversation.         "She ... this girl ... started to make a move on me at our first meeting. Already at lunch, she asked me if I still remember her and when I told her that I did not, she told me in detail how she would remember our first meeting. In the afternoon I took a walk over our meadows and through the forest. First I was accompanied by Ian, but then he was called by a coworker and had to go to one of the stables for some reason."

“Harz / Stromschnellen” by Michi-Nordlicht

        "I went on alone. Close to the forest ... there is a river. Already as a child, I was happy to be there, all of my own, taking time to think. I let stones jump over the water and then I sat down on a rock. Suddenly she stood in front of me. She must have followed me. She told me that we would belong together and that it was a sign of fate that she had met my sister again. And then ... then ..."         Claire, who had taken the tea filter out of the pot, looked at him.         "Then?"         "Then she opened her coat and underneath," Jamie exhaled audibly, "underneath she was almost naked. She offered herself to me like ... like a whore from the street. I'm just glad nobody saw us there."         Claire had put the lid on the teapot and put her arm around his shoulders. Gently, she started stroking his back.         "Shall we go?"         Jamie nodded. He took the pot and went out. Claire put out the light and followed him, Bismarck and Adso in tow. When they sat on the sofa again, the animals wanted to join them and stood in front of the table, expectantly. But Jamie sent them back to the dining room area with a single wave of his hand.         "How did you react to this provocation?"         "I went back to the house, told Jenny what had happened at the riverside and then I drove back to Berlin immediately."         "And? Did the ... woman leave you alone?"         "No, from the day I had a stalker. Whenever she could, she lurked in front of the law firm. She even followed me to the courts and participated as a spectator in those cases in which I was mandated."         Claire shook her head and clasped her forehead with her right hand.         "That ... that ... is incredible. This audacity."         "Oh, it gets better. Or worse ... just as you want."         The feelings she felt were very contradictory. Actually, she wanted to talk to him about more enjoyable things, but she knew how important the conversation was to them both. Claire reached for her cup and held it out to him. He poured her fresh tea. Then he also filled his cup.         "At first I thought that with time she would get bored and forget me. But then she began to attack women she thought were in a relationship with me. Once it was an elderly lady who I represented as a co-plaintiff in a criminal case. She adjusted the client in front of the office and verbally abused her. Fortunately, Ben Hombach drove his car into the yard just then. He immediately recognized the situation and drove this impertinent creature away. But she didn’t stop. After that, she was after Tessa. She fancied I had a relationship with my secretary!"         He shook his head, then drank.         "I then enforced a contact ban, a protection order,  in accordance with § 1 Art. 2 Violence Protection Act in court."         "And? Did she stick to it?"         Jamie laughed. Again it was a short and hard laugh.         "No. She has …"         He paused and looked down. Claire grabbed his hand and began stroking reassuringly over the back of his hand with her thumb. After Jamie took another breath, he continued.         "Before I went back to Berlin that day, I had a short conversation with Jenny. I told my sister what this person did at the riverside and that she should never invite her again ... but ... well, why should one believe his own brother? Instead of realizing what ... the person did, Jenny blamed me. I should not be so prudish ... that ... the friendliest thing she threw at me. I did not reply and just drove home."         He was silent for another moment and Claire went silent with him.         "My sister had a key box in the house where all their keys hung. Also, a set of the keys to my house were kept in it. I'd given these keys to Jenny and Ian for emergencies and a key chain with my initials was on them. The box was accessible to all and so far we had never had to worry about anyone taking keys unauthorized."         Once more, Jamie took a deep breath.

        "We do not know how she did it, but somehow she stole the keys to my house. One weekend later I was with friends in Dresden. I left on Friday afternoon and returned on Sunday afternoon. When I got home, I had the strong impression that someone had been in the house during my absence. As far as my private belongings are concerned, I am always very precise. I hate it when I have to look for something and therefore waste time. So I make sure that everything is always in its place. I had the strong impression that someone had searched my things in the study and in the living room. Mrs. Schaller cleans the house weekly, but she would never leave things the way I found them that afternoon. She knows exactly how much I like my order and respects that. And when I picked up old Brumm at the Schallers one hour later, I asked Mrs. Schaller if she had been looking for anything. She denied and I had no reason not to believe her. Mrs. Schaller then told me that she had the impression that a light was burning in the house on Saturday night. But when her husband went over, he saw nothing suspicious. The whole story seemed strange to me. When I took a bag of milk from the fridge later in the evening, I noticed a small hole on the edge of the milk carton. It was barely visible and it only struck me because I gripped the bag tightly and milk spurted out of the tiny hole, even though I had not opened the bag yet! I then examined all the other foods and found the same small puncture points on yogurt, a box of orange juice and a cup of cream cheese. I had bought all these things just on Friday afternoon and I could say with certainty that these punctures had not been there at that time. When I realized that, I immediately called the police and told them that I suspected that someone had broken into my house. The police arrived shortly afterward. They looked at everything and the forensic technicians examined the places where I found disorder and the refrigerator. They also took the food with the punctures."         As he spoke, Claire's grip on his hand had intensified. As he looked over at her, her face showed the whole horror this story had caused in her.         "The next day, the police informed me that they found a cocktail of medicins in the foods that were suspicious. The dose was not life-threatening, but ... well, it could have caused serious health damage. The police heard the Schallers and me again. Of course, they also asked if I could imagine who would do this to me. I told them of some criminal cases in which I had made no friends and then mentioned that this ... person stalked me. The prosecutor, who was responsible for the case, had a sixth sense. He immediately requested a search warrant for the girl's home. The police found the keys to my apartment and the medicines ... A comparison of her fingertips with the ones the forensics had secured on my fridge, in the living room, and in the study, proved that it was she who had broken into my house."

“Kühlsckrank” by Waldkunst

        "And what happened then?"         "Well, first of all, I had the alarm installed, which you saw. My stalker was charged and sentenced. The prosecution wanted to prosecute her for attempted murder, but that did not last. The toxicological report made it clear that this drug cocktail would have made me seriously ill for a few days, but would not have killed me."         Claire could not contain herself anymore. She pulled Jamie's head close and held him tight. Suddenly he felt tears running down her face.          "Claire," he said softly and looked at her, "I'm still alive, nothing happened to me."          Then he carefully took her face in both hands and kissed her gently before releasing her again. She brushed back the tears and pulled Jamie close again. It was as if she had to make sure that she had not fallen victim to an illusion and that he was still alive and there.         "What happened ... with her ...?" she asked and Jamie looked at how serious she was to learn more.         "As I said, she could not be charged with attempted murder. The charge was then on attempted serious injury. In the course of the trial, it turned out that she wasn’t responsible for her actions due to an episodic or persistent psychiatric disease at the time of the criminal act,  § 20 StGB. The experts who examined her, two forensic psychiatrists, came to the conclusion that she would continue to try to endanger my life or property in the future. It was then placed on the order of the court under § 63 StGB in a forensic psychiatric hospital."         "For how long?"         "Indefinitely. She will be examined regularly at regular intervals and then the court has to decide if she has to stay or if she can be released."         "Was it this story that led to the separation from your sister? You must have made that clear... "         Jamie looked at her, smiled and then shook his head.         "No, Claire. Even that did not stop Jenny from trying to get me married."         "That ... I do not believe it!"         Claire's voice had taken on a shrill tone, so outraged she was.          Jamie stayed calm.          "Didn’t I say that my sister likes to bend reality the way she needs it?"                 Claire did not answer, she shook her head slightly.         "Do you want to know what happened after that? Or should we better stop now?"

“Fest / Sommer” by Innersweden

        She looked at him, still shocked. But at the same time, her eyes expressed an unbroken determination.          "No, I want to know everything."          "It was the year after the trial of ... that person. On the occasion of our summer party, where we also celebrate the birthdays of family members who have their birthday between May and July, Jenny introduced me to a woman she described as a rock-solid Scot ... "

"But yep all we have is a few IG likes, that is correct Michy, that is all we got." Oh god, how DARE anyone miss your other A-MAZ-ING proofs! Darren made a pun of Chris' name! Chris looked at Darren for a split second! Darren looked at Chris! They said complimentary things about each other! Only a crazy person would deny these 100% proofs of a long term secret relationship! I've said it before, but I'm asking again, do they WANT us to laugh at them? Is this just a very committed comedy routine?

You’d expected it to be an Onion article or some parody of Tinhatting written by me rather than a legitimate list of their proof that they thought would slay me to my knees.

　The next legendary anime to be introduced is the following;『New Mobile Report Gundam W』. This work is one of the many『Gundam』series, and from April 1995 to March 1996 the TV series aired. In 1997 the 3 episodes OVA 『New Mobile Report Gundam W Endless Waltz』continuation was created, and in 1998 the re-edited『Special Edition』version of that was released theatrically. Even now after 20 years have passed its popularity has not waned, rerunning since February 2018 on TOKYO MX. Gathering interest even from people exposed to this work for the first time, there has been a resurgence in popularity.

　One point that needs a special mention with this work is that, it is the forerunner of a『Gundam』series that won fanatical female fans. Though 『Gundam』series are now supported by many demographics regardless of gender,『Gundam』fans before this work were mainly children and men, who the related merchandise targeted. The biggest factor behind how this work managed to capture the hearts of women, in this situation, was that the 5 main characters were prominent. Not only were the 5 main characters beautiful boys, they had strong personalities that were unable to be described in one word. Some acted calm, cool, and collected to fulfill their missions, while others took flabbergasting actions that were mind boggling. The interactions between them, and the words and deeds that exceeded the viewers’ imaginations, continued to charm fans. Especially Heero・Yuy for informing the heroine「I’ll kill you」 in episode 1, and also by blowing up his beloved mobile suit Wing Gundam, having a strong impression not seen elsewhere, with his loony¹ actions and a number of out-there¹ famous quotes, he had a presence that could only be described as peerless. The threatened gazes directed by the 5 boys who are by no means absolutely perfect, continue to capture the hearts of fans and refuses to let go even to this day.

¹loony, out-there: The magazine uses the pretty strong expression ぶっ飛んだ

450(Welcome～) Special Guest

Heero・Yuy role HIKARU MIDORIKAWA

【He・kah・rue・Me・dough・ree・kawa】Born May 2. From Tochigi Prefecture. Affiliated with Aoni Production.

——What kind of work is『New Mobile Report Gundam Wing』, to you, Mr. Midorikawa? Furthermore, if you had to choose one thing that made you happy, from your memories during the first airings, what would it be?

　My dream since I was a child was playing the main character in a serious robot work like『Mobile Suit Gundam』, so my dream came true. That made me happy, as you can imagine. Of course, plastic models of Wing Gundam that Heero rides on went on sale, so as person who was crazy about Gunpla² when I was a child, those were really happy days ♪

²Gundam plastic model = Gunpla

——With his unpredictable words and deeds and such, Heero・Yuy was a character with many sensational episodes. If there was anything that you struggled with while playing him, please do tell.

　Heero’s silent, so I think that having to impress the character on the audience within the limited few lines is difficult. However, I gained quite a lot of experience with silent characters with the role of Kaede Rukawa from『SLAM DUNK』(aired 1993～1996), so I managed to not struggle that much（^^;;

——This year marks the 20th year since the release of『New Mobile Report Gundam W Endless Waltz Special Edition』. What do you think about the fact that it’s still loved by many fans, even after over 20 years have passed?

　Maybe it’s  the fact that interesting things are interesting, no matter how many years pass? I mean it is full of holes that can be poked fun at, even though it’s by no means a gag anime (laughter). Apparently, there are also tenacious fans in America even to this day, not only limited  to Japan, so I think it’s a real amazing piece of work.

——If you were to give a message toward the following five of Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei, right now, what would the contents of the message be?

　I am truly happy, that I was able to meet you all. There is also a work that paints yourselves after the end, so if a chance presents itself, I’d love to breathe life into your grown selves. Well, I think that I’ll be indebted to all of you through games or whatnot, from now on too, so I look forward to working with you all then（^₋^）

　Episode 1 was full of iconic scenes that symbolized the person known as Heero. From trying to shoot down a civilian shuttle that was interfering with accomplishing his mission during his descent to Earth, to hijacking an ambulance that rushed over due to Relena`s report, who found him injured, it was a succession of barbarity. Moreover, he whispers「I’ll kill you」in her ear after ripping a birthday party invitation that she sent, going undercover as a transfer student at her school, all just due to the reason that「his face was seen by Relena」.
