HISTORICAL PLAYLIST [I]

"Henry moved from Pontoise on May 8 to the Abbey of Saint-Denis, the necropolis of French kings, where he paid his obligations as heir, before arriving at Troyes. On the same day the treaty was sealed, Henry and Catherine were betrothed; they were married less than two weeks later, on June 2. The treaty was announced immediately in France and its terms sent back to England to be proclaimed so that 'al oure peuple may have verray [true] knowledge thereof for their consolacion'.

i really don't think sailor moon gets enough credit for how unbelievably convoluted the world building & lore get. folks who only watched it as kids or are casually familiar probably consider it to primarily be a show about cute girls fighting evil in tokyo

and yeah, okay, it is about that, sure, but the cute girls are actually all reincarnations from previous lives in a kingdom on the moon. the moon kingdom had an era of peace known as the silver millennium, when it was ruled by queen serenity, but in the 30th century there is ANOTHER silver millennium & this time it's NEO queen serenity in charge, who is a reincarnation of usagi who is a reincarnation of princess serenity from that original silver millennium. usagi is not the original queen serenity, though, and the second silver millennium happens on earth in the city of crystal tokyo (which is what tokyo will become in the 30th century) rather than within the moon kingdom. but there's also a secret hidden kingdom in the center of the earth called elysion that works in tandem with the moon kingdom to protect the planet, so keep that in mind. and we haven't even factored in the sailor wars that have raged throughout the universe since the dawn of time!!!!!!!

i have no idea what the fuck that paragraph says & i'm the one who wrote it. honestly the casual fans are right -- we are all so much better off considering this the "cute girls fight evil" anime & not liquifying our brains trying to figure out what in the fresh hell is actually going on

#ohhhhh jojo is so ridiculous & there's all this time travel in dragon ball #none of these shows can hold a candle to whatever the fresh fucking hell is happening in sailor moon #liv speaks

Sorrow, part 5

Elyse awoke to find herself being held, and for a moment began to panic.

This man didn't stink of liquor, she thought as she tried to steady her breathing. When she dared look up, she saw his pale hair falling like a curtain over his shoulder, his aquiline features at peace as he slept, and realized she was in bed with her new husband.

Aemond had both arms around her, one holding the bedcovers secure round her back, and the other on her elbow. Her hand was on his chest and she felt her face warm and her fingertips tingle at the touch.

When she lifted her head, his eye opened, looking around for a moment before meeting her gaze. Her panic had faded when she'd realized it was him, and she gave him a small smile before pulling back.

"I'm sorry you ended up sleeping here, I'm sure your own bed is more comfortable."

He regarded her for a moment before raising an eyebrow. "It is much more comfortable, indeed." He groaned as he sat up and she looked away as he stood, away from the sight of so much bare skin and muscle.

There was a knock on the door and the young maid from the previous night came in. "Your Highnesses," she curtsied. "We have guests for breakfast."

"Who?" Aemond asked immediately, unaware of any scheduled visits.

"I don't know, my prince, I was just sent to make sure you are both in the dining hall by the next bell." She quickly took the tea tray from the night before with her before leaving.

"I will have a lady's maid sent to you," Aemond told her before going back to his own rooms, and Elyse found herself missing his warmth.

* * * * *

"Take whatever you need from my coffers, I want her to be comfortable. Clothes, anything she may need."

"Of course, Your Highness."

Aemond had asked three different servants and none of them knew who was visiting the keep. It was highly unusual and dread began to take hold in his stomach. He added a second dagger to his belt, wondering if he would need every weapon he had at his disposal.

He had woken up to find his wife looking up at him and a shock of need had barreled through him. Her fingers on his chest, her hair tickling his nose, he'd never woken up with a woman in his arms before and had wanted nothing more than to push her onto her back and lose himself inside her. And he'd known it was the exact thing that would send her running, so he'd left the room as soon as he could.

What she had told him earlier had horrified him and reinforced his belief that he had done the right thing in taking her with him. He could only hope that with time she would leave all that pain behind and be happy someday. With him.

"Aemond."

He turned and found that every thought and worry had fled his mind.

Elyse stood before him wearing a simple grey gown, her hands clasped together as usual, her blond hair had been braided and falling in a single plait over one shoulder. At her neck was a tiny red gemstone handing from a thin gold chain. That, and the plain silver ring that he'd managed to procure so hastily were the only two adornments she wore.

He would speak to his mother about opening up the jewelry vaults.

"Elyse," he said, savoring her name. "Are you ready?"

She nodded, giving him a small smile, and took his arm when he offered it. "We shall have to get you a grander ring soon," he said and she immediately brought her hand up.

"I like this one," she said softly, looking down at her wedding ring, "it's what you gave me when we married." She thought for a moment, then added, "I should choose not to change it."

Something bloomed in Aemond's chest, and he felt that most distressing of reactions, heat behind his good eye. He cleared his throat, and said, "well then, maybe some ear bobs. You shall tell me what-"

She stopped walking as they entered the dining hall, her hand digging into his arm, and he turned to see what had upset her.

"No," she whispered.

He looked at the two men standing next to his grandfather and his mother - a tall man wearing a wicked sword at his hip, and next to him, his wife's former brother-in-law.

"Aemond," Ser Otto said, and Elyse felt terror begin to envelop her, like black shadows covering her shoulders and chest. Her eyes landed on the table, and she rushed to grab a knife from one of the settings.

She put the knife to her throat and turned to face their guests. "You shall not take me."

"Elyse," Aemond said gently, but she gave no sign of hearing him.

* * * * *

She was going to slit her throat in front of him and Aemond was not going to be able to stop her, to reach her in time, and he would fail in the one thing he had promised her - that she was safe with him.

"Come on, sweeting, let us go home, where you belong."

"Elyse," he said again.

He could rush and tackle her, or grab her arms, but he wasn't sure she wouldn't harm herself in that split second.

"Please," he begged.

"Elyse, stop these silly games-"

"You laughed," she sobbed, blade still at her throat, "you laughed while he hurt me!"

Aemond's eye went to his mother, who was now staring at Elyse with something beyond worry. What have you done, mother.

"You cheered him on! When he couldn't fuck me because he was too drunk, you gave him your dagger to use on me!"

The old lord had the grace to look mortified for a moment, but Elyse wasn't done.

"He stuck that hilt inside me and you all laughed while I screamed and bled on that floor," she continued as tears fell down her cheeks. "While he hurt me so badly the maester said I would never bear children."

Aemond turned to his grandsire, who was looking like he might be sick. "Elyse," he tried again. "Wife."

At that, she turned to him, and saw her eyes focus on him.

"I will not let him take you."

"Promise."

He extended a hand to her. "I promise."

She looked at him for a few seconds and he could swear his heart stopped while he waited for her answer.

Elyse brought the knife down slowly and let Aemond take it from her hand. He placed the knife in his jacket pocket and wrapped his arms around his wife. "I will never let him take you. On my life, Elyse, I swear it."

He looked over her head and glared at his mother and grandfather. "Will you be throwing them out now or shall I have Vhagar deal with them?"

"I shall ally with the Princess Rhaenyra," the lord spat out.

Ser Otto sighed. "I am sure the Princess will welcome your three horses and ten soldiers, my lord. Now, leave while you can."

While the argument continued, Aemond led his wife back to his chambers.

* * * * *

She was cold, so cold, and couldn't stop shaking. Aemond kept speaking to her and it wasn't so much the words but his soft, soothing voice that began to seep into her very bones.

He had the maid start a fire in his rooms, and had settled her on a large chair, with enough blankets around her to survive a Winterfell year. "Tea," he'd barked at some other servant, "with something to make it sweet," and a minute later a tray was brought.

"I'm sorry," she whispered. "I'm sorry."

He held her while she cried, the shame and embarrassment coursing through her only adding to her fears. How long would this man tolerate her constant tears, her nerves?

"Don't be." She felt him kiss her hair, and then he was pushing her braid out of the way to examine her neck. "I want to make sure there's no mark."

He tilted her head this way and that, and then kissed her temple.

"Thank you," she said softly, and felt Aemond's lips trail down her jaw, to where she had pressed the knife against her skin. He kissed the spot, his breath warm, and she shivered.

"Drink your tea," he said, pulling back, and handed her the cup. "Are you warm enough?

At that she smiled shyly. "Yes, thank you."

He sat on the floor next to her as she sipped at her tea. "Shall I have breakfast brought in?"

"I'm not hungry," she replied, "but you must be."

* * * * *

He had the kitchens send in a huge breakfast, hoping to tempt her to eat something. She'd finished two cups of tea, and when he offered her a morning bun covered in spiced sugar, she took a small bite.

Aemond began to tell her about his routine, what his day was usually like, what his interests were. She listened and drank more tea, and took small bits of food that he handed her.

But he noticed that she liked the morning buns best of all, and he would tell the servants to ensure the kitchen staff made them every day.

"I will be speaking with my mother and grandfather," he said when they had finished eating, "and I wish to know if you would like to be present."

She pressed her lips together, and he noticed some golden sugar at the corner of her mouth. "What will you say?"

"That if they do not stop acting against our marriage, we shall leave King's Landing."

"You do not need to do that."

"Elyse, I will not spend our days wondering what the next plot is. We are married, and they will accept it."

"But now they know," she smiled sadly, "that I cannot give you children."

Aemond rose and walked over to where she sat. "Aegon has children," he told her, "and I did not marry you for the ones you might give me."

She said nothing, but when he smiled down at her, she raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"

"You have some sugar here," he nodded at her mouth. He reached over to brush it off and saw the way her cheeks turned pink at his touch. Her eyes were huge as she gazed up at him, and he wanted her, so badly.

To his surprise, she grabbed his hand and kept it against her face, closing her eyes for a moment.

When was the last time she had been touched with kindness? When had she last slept without fear of being woken up to be mistreated?

She stood then, and reached up to place her other hand on his cheek. "Will you show me?"

Anything.

She'd trusted him with all the details of her personal hell and the least he could do was show her the scars of his own. He reached up and pulled off the eyepatch, and waited for her reaction.

She turned his face to the side, her fingertips exploring the scar, he thought, since he had little feeling on most of that part of his face, but when she reached up and placed a kiss on the very bottom end of it, he closed his eye and felt her warmth seeping through him.

He reached down before he could think about it twice, and kissed her lips. Her soft gasp had him stopping himself before he could haul her up against him, but she didn't pull away, and he didn't stop the kiss.

She linked her arms around his neck and he dared grasp her waist, lightly, until he felt her sink against him. He dared not deepen the kiss, but her mouth was warm and sweet against his and he could wait, he could wait as long as she needed to take things further.

When she sighed, pulling back, he whispered into her hair. "Elyse."

There was a small knock at the door. "Pardon me, may I take the trays?"

He turned to nod at the maid and then took Elyse's hand. "Let's go have that conversation.

20 Questions for (Fanfiction) Writers

Tagged by @maythedreadwolftakeyou. Thank you!

How many works do you have on ao3?

So, I just recently started moving things over from ff . net and other places, but I've also written new things, so for stats like these, I'll be including both.

On AO3, I have only 9 works so far. On FFnet I have 24. Of course there are a few on my computer waiting to be edited and posted.

2. What’s your total ao3 word count?

AO3 has 64,627 and FFnet has 800,881 words. So yeah, I've got a lot to move over yet.

3. What are your top five fics by kudos?

So we're going to do this mixed "favs" from FFnet and kudos from AO3:

1. Under the Shadow of the Builders | 43 Favs | Star Wars (194,940 words) This story spans the game Knights of the Old Republic and follows the adventures of the crew of the Ebon Hawk as they try to discover the source of Darth Malak's power and stop the Jedi Civil War.

2. Ma’venahn, you look so tired. | 25 kudos | DATV AU (499 words) Solas has been freed from the fade prison and is living at the Lighthouse with Rook and the Veilguard team, acting as an advisor. When Inquisitor Lavellan comes to join their efforts, his heart is far from prepared to face her again.

3. Sailor Moon: Elysion | 20 favs | Sailor Moon OCs (6,137 words) Elysion tells the story of the soldiers of the seven secret Earth realms. Even before the Dead Moon Circus follows Pegasus to Japan, they track him through Anchorage and then to a small suburb of Chicago. Two teams of Sailor Soldiers must defend humanity as the Dead Moon Circus searches for the mysterious Golden Crystal and Secret Keeper. [I am in the process of revising this to remove some harmful tropes, so only the first two chapters are up on AO3 so far.]

4. Reconciling Emptiness | 19 favs, 9 kudos | DAI (35,695 words) The Inquisition has won and Corypheus was defeated, yet Inquisitor Lavellan cannot bring herself to celebrate. Solas has left without a word, and she no longer has an enemy to fight. This series of short vignettes explores Lavellan's struggles to reconcile the emptiness left by the departure of Solas and other companions, and to find a new purpose for the Inquisition.

5. Solavellan Ever After | 13 kudos | DATV AU (991 words) The final battle against the false Elven gods rages, and Solas, now freed from the Fade prison of his own making, fights alongside Rook, Veilguard, and their allies. But the terrible wrath of Elgar'nan is unstoppable, and it could cost Solas his heart. This is an attempt at a potential happy ending for Solas and Inquisitor Lavellan, with what we knew of Veilguard in August 2024. I'd still like to finish it eventually. (cw: graphic injury)

4. What fandoms do you write for?

I started in Sailor Moon otaku senshi (OCs) fanfiction, moved into Star Wars (particularly Knights of the Old Republic era), and then the Solavellan bug bit me and I write Dragon Age fanfics too.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Absolutely! I love having conversations with my readers. Comments give me motivation, and sometimes even ideas.

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Hands-down, it's From Beyond, my Sailor Moon OC fanfic in which all the OCs die, and in so doing, the canon sailors completely miss a message that might have saved the Silver Millennium.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I think that would be Solar Wars, the first Sailor Moon fanfic I wrote from start to finish. Everyone is purified and gets to go home to a renewed Golden Kingdom. The writing style is very much characterized by the age I was at the time, and it needs some harmful tropes removed before I can move it over to AO3.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not really? I don't really get much engagement at all, to be honest. Every once in a great while, back on FFnet, someone would catch a misspelling that my dyslexia missed, and that was always frustrating to get that kind of condescension when dyslexia is literally a disability. (Don't do it. It's mean and ableist. Just don't.)

9. Do you write smut?

I tried to go there with Raspberries, and I didn't like the process. It was in my head, but writing it out was really uncomfortable.

I'm the sort of demisexual who is generally sex-repulsed by hanky-panky that doesn't involve me, and apparently that extends to my characters.

Fluff though? I love writing romantic fluff.

10. Do you write crossovers?

Not really? I might take inspiration from a character in one fandom for a character in another. See my Rook, Tenjo Mercar, who was inspired by Utena Tenjou in "Revolutionary Girl Utena." Their first fic will go up with @transthedasfest later this month.

The Sailors in From Beyond are named for the planets in the solar system of an original fic universe I was co-writing with a friend in middle and high school. I may yet make some off-hand comments in a Sailor Moon fanfic in the future to "Sailor Pern" or "Sailor Naboo," but I don't really want to dive too far into that kind of crossover.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge, but also, I don't get a lot of engagement. That said, one of the biggest complements I got during my Tower of Time (my Sailor Moon OC fanfic website and forums) era, was stumbling on another set of forums that had adopted my Sailor Moon: NeoF sailors for an open-ended RPG. They had done so much art and character development, and even made a website for them. It was really fun to meet them and learn what about the characters appealed to them.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not to my knowledge!

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

In my Tower of Time era, my friend Prae and I sort of co-shaped the fannon of the Tower of Time, but each of us wrote our own "seasons" of stories for it.

The biggest co-writing project I did was original fic in middle and high school with our friends, in which we imagined a self-insert pseudo-magical girl hero story. We played out various adventures, shared artwork, and people wrote different sections of our adventures. I mostly wrote the origin stuff.

In Star Wars, on TheForce.net forums, I organized a collaborative story from a bunch of different perspectives on Revan's return to Republic space as a Sith Lord. Unfortunately a couple of the key perspective pieces never got done, so we never shared it. I should really see if I can contact at least some of the writers for permission to post their parts again.

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

Revan x Carth still haunts me. I need to finish their epic story someday. It's already 300K words long in "book" 3 of 4. I stalled when all my readers disappeared...

By contrast Solas x Inquisitor Lavellan is such a font of inspiration. I love them and their restrained intensity for each other so much.

For completely original OCs, I accidentally stumbled into a Sailor Elysion x Helios past lives romance, and I love it. Their current timeline relationship is more complicated, and also there's Chibiusa.

And while I was writing my transition piece between KotOR and KotOR II, my produce-hauling pilot Kionee Rinnh wound up giving a ride to Mical (Disciple) and wow does she have a crush. I love that for her. Sometimes these things just happen when you let your OCs out to play.

15. What’s the wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I love the characters in Celestial Revolutions (Sailor Moon) so much, and I'd love to give them resolution, but I can't quite find a backstory and villain plot that fits right. They're on at least their third revision.

Back to Kionee Rinnh, I wanted to write the genesis of her shifting from just a produce hauler to a blockade runner in I do it for the Fruit, a Mandalorian Wars Journal. I'd still love to write that, but it takes a lot of timeline research, and my physical and mental state these days just need me to write easier things.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think I'm really good at cinematic descriptions, when they're called for. I also pay a lot of attention to word and sentence rhythm, as well as the way that words can convey sensory and scene details.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Staying focused on just one project. Wow. Ahah. This is how I have so man unfinished WIPs.

I also struggle a bit to write mean characters. I feel bad for the other characters. Haha.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

As a multilingual and multicultural human, I find that I write a lot of stories (original and fanfic) where cultural and linguistic exchange play a big role.

First, don't italicize loan words from other languages. That others the second language/culture and your readers who do speak that language.

Second, it needs to serve a purpose. Is it ambient background noise that your character feels lost in (just as the readers might)? Fine, no explanation of what it is needed. You could also give your perspective character's feelings or approximate understanding of it.

Are you demonstrating a skill of one of your charters? If so, we need to be able to appreciate that skill, so somehow in the text that surrounds it, we need to get the meaning. I have seen footnotes work for this, or something like "I introduced myself politely," to give us an approximate meaning and nuance.

Context is absolutely necessary.

If you are someone who uses mixed languages in your day-to-day life, and the story is something that draws from your experiences, you do you. Context clues can help the rest of us who aren't from that subculture better understand, though.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Sailor Moon! My first fic would have gone online in the late 1990s when my uncle let me use a part of his web domain to launch the Tower of Time. Eventually the Tower got its own domain and webspace. Either Solar Wars or Seasons was first.

20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

For Sailor Moon, it's Elysion. The characters led the way and the story just fell into place in a way that felt so natural.

For Star Wars, there are some really brilliant moments in the middle of The Road to Rediscovery, which is really more a collection of loosely related shorts that connect KotOR and KotOR II. It has at least one chapter featuring each of the companions from both games, and a bunch of Kionee tying them all together. My novelizations of the games are a little more constricting in material (though my KotOR II is going pretty off the rails), whereas this between material just kind happened, because the characters needed it. It was a joy to write it super character-driven.

For Dragon Age, Reconciling Emptiness is really important to me. I was playing Inquisition during a really difficult period of my life, with lots of transitions, uncertain, and fear. I was trying to figure out who I was and who I wanted to be. I started this immediately after finishing my first run of the game, before Trespasser, and it carried me through a couple years of transition, much like Inquisitor Lavellan needed to sort through years of transition without Solas.

Thanks again for the tag! For other tags, if you feel like it: @thereeness, @shuubunni, @bygonesigh, @galadrieljones, @spiritsong

If only I'd spend as much time writing and editing stories as I do on Tumblr...

Can you tell us more about your Sailor Earth OC? 👀

Oh my goodness thank you for asking!!! I'm going to be greedy and use this as an info dump, hope that’s okay anon! 🙏

For starters, I should mention that Sailor Earth is a redesign/alternate fandom recycle of my main oc Genevieve Marena. She was originally created in 2018 for the Fairy Tail fandom and started with the name Hoseki Ishi.

Gene's thing was always diamonds, gems and minerals. So when I became obsessed with- *ahem* I mean, Got into Sailor Moon, I could not resist the urge to draw her as Sailor Earth. I drew her within a month of reading and buying the first 2 volumes LOL.

This is the art from August 1st 2022

Since then I fell utterly in love with Dream arc, Mamoru and any version of him, Elysion, the Golden Kingdom, Helios’ role as a guardian priest and literally anything related to the Earth as Naoko Takeuchi wrote of it.

I was also low-key upset about how 90s was treating Mamo and Usagi, so I ironically made her the senshi that defends the love of Serenity and Endymion and protects their happiness lol.

Thinking about her more seriously as I am now deeply attached to Sailor Moon, I have a working summary of how I imagine her.

I explored her various designs for the series back in Summer 2023 (again after finishing the manga)

More recently, I've been brainstorming how to more efficiently include her in the Sailor Moon story. I've been doing light research on Mythology, becoming more familiar with Astrology and crystals. I was honestly struggling quite a bit when it became clear that Earth is almost excluded from Astrology. That is, it's not treated in the same respect as Mercury or Neptune etc. are.

I also knew that I didn't want to make her a Princess, that would be like replacing Endymion as the heir to the planet. And I was not about to make her the child of NQ Serenity and King Endymion. So I thought I might make her somewhat like Chibi Moon. If there can be two Sailor Moon senshi, then I say, why not two Earth guardians? Then I noticed that Pink Moon is actually the term for April's full moon. So I thought I could do something with that to make my Sailor Earth stand out (since it is obviously a very unoriginal idea in the first place) but I have yet to find a similar thing for Earth.

Basically Earth is much less interesting than literally any other heavenly body to astronomers and astrologists so I'm working with very little lol.

Anyway, I decided she'd be an Elysion Priestess and that she was given the powers of a Sailor Senshi to protect the Earth and her prince. She goes to the surface and attends Rei’s school, T.A girls academy.

More recently, I was watching Eternal for like the 1 millionth time and it has always bugged me that the 2 Maenads look like they are from the Moon.

They look more like Queen Serenity than someone from Earth.

So, no offense to Takeuchi my girl, but imma change that. Because unfortunately I feel like things from Silver Millenium like the Twin bun hair on these two overlap too much with what should be unique to Earth. (But that is a blog for another day, so I digress) The two Maenads are now Gaia and Terra. Gaia becomes Sailor Earth and goes to the surface as Hoseki Jinsei and her Lavender Earth Crystal forms.

See these two? One of ‘em is Gaia.

Also, since it is already shameless enough to make a Sailor Earth self insert, I'm inserting my late cat Flash and his name is Apollo because Moon kitties are from Mau therefore any planet can have one not just Moon senshi. But also cuz I miss the hell out of him and I can't look at Artemis without thinking about him.

As of right now, this is the general concept of my Sailor Earth:

Name: Gaia

Gender: female

Civilian Name: Hoseki Jinsei

Senshi name: Sailor Earth

Sailor Crystal: Lavender Earth Crystal

Family: Terra (sister?/mother?) Helios (brother)

Occupation: Elysion Priestess

Partner: Apollo (white kitty with heterochromia from Mau, Artemis' twin brother)

Again, thank you so much for giving me the chance to info dump :3

Today's (12/5/2024) Episode: Teen Troubles

Skye now had a label for his personal feelings about gender, but he hadn’t settled on a properly agender pronoun to use for himself yet.

He was sure that deciding how he’d like other sims to refer to him would give him a good starting point for telling friends and family the news. However, the thought of doing so and possibly being rejected terrified him so much he made himself sick just thinking about it.

It didn’t help that puberty decided to choose that moment to hit with a vengeance. Bad breath… acne… Skye felt like an ogre, and all of it happened just in time for the most important romantic events of his young life!

It seemed like all anyone at school wanted to talk about was Love Day and the prom, which would follow shortly after.

Skye dreamed of impressing Elyse with a romantic promposal during a Love Day date like the one his family had set up for his parents before he was born, but he was sure that she’d be disgusted by how “gross” he’d become and had been avoiding her. That made it really hard to ask her out!

Skye threw himself into his studies, using the excuse of being “too busy” to avoid hanging with Elyse the way he had before. When Mr. Haas insisted that he “go have some fun” during free periods, he hid in the bathroom or snuck to the pool for a swim after everyone was seated in the lunchroom.

All Skye’s hard work in the classroom paid off, and he soon found himself an “A” student. His academically mind parents were thrilled, but they were also preceptive enough to notice that something wasn’t quite right.

“Fantastic job son, we’re so proud of you!” Luigi began “but I have to ask, how are things going with your friends and the newspaper? I noticed Elyse hasn’t come to visit in awhile and you haven’t told us anything lately about your assignments for the Weekly.”

“Well…” Skye began, “My last assignment for the paper was supposed to be taking photos at sports day, but the event got rained out. Mrs. Romano was there; she was really disappointed she wouldn’t get to see Bruce play.”

“That’s a bummer all right” Luigi nodded “What about your friends? Is everything OK there?”

Skye sighed, knowing he wasn’t going to wiggle out of this conversation. When his cheerful father sensed something was wrong and focused on someone other than himself, he wasn’t satisfied until he felt like he’d helped them find “the silver lining”. “I haven’t really seen much of them lately. My face is a mess, my breath smells… I sort of wanted to ask Elyse to prom on Love Day but there’s no way she’ll want to go anywhere with me now!”

Luigi grinned at finally hearing confirmation of what he’d long suspected regarding Skye’s feelings for Elyse.

“So…” he began “I’ll admit I don’t know the first thing about a successful promposal, my attempts at it were a complete failure, but I think I can confidently say Elyse isn’t going to reject you because of a couple pimples or a little bad breath. Anyway, I can help you fix those right up!”

“And I can help you with the promposal Skye” Noemi chimed in “Unlike your father I got my prom invite right” she stuck her tongue out playfully in Luigi’s direction. “My ex-partner Pat and I had a great time at our High School dance.”

The next morning Skye began his day in front of the mirror, using the toothpaste and face powder Luigi had made a special trip out to purchase for him.

Just as promised they worked wonders, leaving Skye feeling much more like his old self and ready to once again enjoy the company of his friends.

Now that he was feeling better about his appearance Skye was ready to approach Elyse about Love Day. “I think your idea sounds perfect Skye” his mother told him “Ask her on a date for the holiday, take her somewhere special, and then surprise her with your promposal at the end”.

Skye caught Elyse after their next newspaper meeting. “Hey” he began, before suddenly being flooded with self-doubt… what if she says no, and then hates me for ruining our friendship? “Hi!” Elyse replied, arresting her friends doom spiral with three little words “I’ve missed you”.

“You have?” Skye was shocked to see Elyse looked a bit nervous herself. “Of course! … I wanted to get together, but didn’t want to bother you.”

“I’m sorry” Skye said “I… well it doesn’t matter.” he took a big deep breath, closed his eyes and said all in a rush “ElysewillyoubemydateforLoveDay?”

Elyse nodded “Absolutely. Do you know where you’re going to take me? Wait… don’t tell me! I want it to be a surprise.” Jumping out of her chair she engulfed Skye in a giant hug “I just know we’re going to have a great time.”

That night Skye made his promposal sign and finally chose Xe/Xem as xir new pronouns.

Xe wanted xir best friend to be the first person xe told about xir new gender identity, and if xe did it before xe promposed then Elyse would be saying yes to the real them. Skye went to bed that night nervous but excited, hopeful that everything would work out according to xir grand plan.

Angsty Dissidia Story? Angsty Dissidia Story.

I started playing Final Fantasy Dissidia recently (specifically NT), and I really like the idea that warriors are summoned throughout the same cycles, and they encounter each other time after time again. I also realize that in NT, Noctis and a few others are newcomers to the cycle, and it made me think about Elyse(OC), and I wondered: what if she got dragged into the cycle between Cosmos and Chaos?

Here’s a dribble of what that would look like:

(This takes place during one of the cycles before NT. NT’s cycle will have a different thing going on)

Elyse wanders the ruins aimlessly, looking for another sign of life or a person to call upon for guidance. It is then in the distance, she sees a familiar figure: tall, dark, and ethereal. The ominous, chaotic energy of where he stands wards her to stay away, unless she wished to be swallowed whole. However, the figure’s silhouette screams something familiar to Elyse, and her gut, yearning to find some familiarity to build upon, gravitates towards it. She approaches gingerly, and sees an ethereal one standing before her: silver hair, long and elegant like his sword, green eyes with pupils she hadn’t seen anyone else wear before, and a pale, muscular build. He was at least a foot taller than Elyse, if not more. While his size dwarfed her own, something in the air was egging her to talk to him. His face in the moment appeared neutral, but she had no idea of the tumultuous feelings that raged in him beneath.

“Who Are you?”

The words gut him internally like a fish, but he dare not show weakness, not here. It wasn’t his problem if she forgot her memories, so why should he care? He was on a quest to gain more power towards godhood.

Because you know her, and it’s not safe out here.

“Your enemy.” Sephiroth answers in a monotone voice. Every trained moment of represseing emotions was going into his tone, and only Gaia would know what happened if he even gave her a hint of who she is, and what she really means to him.

“Woah, I don’t mean any harm…” Elyse cautions, backing up.

“I’m just looking to get to a place called Cosmos Tower.” She adds.

Another dagger in his chest.

Of course Cosmos would summon her, he thinks.

“And I am a Warrior of Chaos. That would make us natural enemies.” Sephiroth responds.

Elyse didn’t like that answer. She could feel that the more he tried to shoo her away, the more she wanted to know why. Elyse’s brows furrow, put off by his coldness.

“Hey, I don’t want to start a fight,” Elyse reiterates. “I was just wondering if anyone else happened to be heading to the Cosmos Tower, but I see you are not. I will leave you be, then. Goodbye.” Elyse says firmly, turning with a quiet huff. Sephiroth wanted to put that attitude of hers to shame, to remind her who she’s talking to, but he stands there, silently watching the mage walk away. If Elyse was going to survive this war, he couldn’t afford to let her indulge in any weaknesses, even if it was the very thing he once found endearing about her. Conflict swirled within Sephiroth’s mind. A part of him was furious at how people got dragged into these things, and out of all the people who could have been summoned to serve Cosmos, it had to be her.

(Like many Dissidia characters: Elyse loses a good chunk of her memories upon the first time being summoned into a cycle, so she doesn’t remember Sephiroth yet 🥲 there’s gonna be a lot of angst in this series)
