#so uuuum I do know what happens here

[factorialsotherfandoms]

Canon-adjacent (implied no respawns, or at least heavily impaired respawns, but otherwise canon-ish setting) platonic husbands philza and missa with philza getting himself into a good deal of bother.

TW: needles, blood, major character injury, implied temporary major character death, panic attacks

The mob was new. Of all the things that could do such harm to Philza... there's a lot of them, if he's insufficiently careful, but this one was new. New, and unpredictable, and now very dead.

Very dead, but having left a giant gash from Philza's ribs on one side, to his opposing hip. It's bleeding - heavily - but nothing a potion can't fix.

Philza puts pressure on the wound with one hand, and searches his bag with the other. He grabs a couple of potions - it's a nasty looking wound, and he's already feeling weak - drinking them or pouring them on it as the bottles dictate.

He gives them a second, then another, and the wound doesn't close.

Before he's even had the chance to think /shit/, or /poison/, or /what the fuck was on that mob's stupid scythe/, he has both hands on the injury. His first hand - the hand with his communicator on - is looking pretty gorey already. He puts pressure, realises it's barely helping, then slips his hands around.

He grabs the edges of his skin, pinches them together, and he thinks /okay, fuck, what do I do now?/

For once, Philza does not have an answer. He's a good distance from spawn, his communicator is soaked in blood to the point he isn't sure it'll work and he's very sure he can't see the screen, and if he moves he'll bleed faster. There's also the niggling knowledge in the back of his mind that his thinking is impaired, that he's poisoned and it's likely to have more effects than just preventing his wound closing, that right now if he acts on anything he comes up with then he'll do something extremely dumb.

There's no winning, not when he's having thoughts like that.

Staying put is a shit plan, it's a completely shit plan, and he's pretty sure all versions of him would agree. No matter how he holds the wound he's still bleeding, blood bubbling out between his fingers. If he stays here, in a random glade, a couple of hundred blocks north of the closest build, he's going to die.

If he gets up, if he tries to walk those few hundred blocks... With where the wound is, every single step is going to shift it. He won't be able to pinch the wound closed as he is now, and with every step any healing that's miraculously happened will be undone. He might even tear the damn thing more. He's a couple of hundred blocks north of the Hide and Seek Arena, and nobody's even going to be there at this time of day; if he tries to walk, he's going to die.

What else? What else? He tries to bash his communicator to life, just in case. He keeps the HOLD switch on when he doesn't need it, usually. With his ring finger he manages to reach said switch, and try to flick it. The blood has gotten into the mechanism, disabling it. And with HOLD on... Even if the other buttons escaped the worst, they'll be disabled to. If he gets out of this, he's begging Tubbo or Aypierre or Pac or /someone/ to redesign the damn things, make them blood proof. He's not going to get out of this, though.

He's going to die, and it's going to fucking suck.

Those are, as far as he can tell, his options. None of them are survivable, but at least if he's walking he's /trying/ to live. It'll kill him faster than waiting for help, sure, but Philza's never been much good at standing still.

He pushes up from the tree, and gets eight steps before his knees buckle beneath him.

His hands fly from the wound to catch himself, then back to it to close it back up.

Philza might not be thinking straight, and he might not be good at sitting still, but he's nothing if not stubborn. He grits his teeth, and pinches the wound closed, and drags himself to his feet.

He makes it ten steps, then fifteen, then a whole thirty before he can only make it four. With every attempt his vision grows a little darker, his heart a little faster, his teeth set a little harder into their grimace.

He still gets back up, and gets back up, and gets back up until -

Until he can't any more.

In a hazy blur Philza tries his comms again - still not working - before letting go with one hand. He bleeds even faster without it, yes, but like this? He's too exposed, too exposed, and he can hear the wolves coming. Wolves who might be fine, but might also be looking for an easy meal.

Even dying his instincts kick in; Philza drags himself into a more defensible position, and clamps his fingers around the wound once more.

His body already sprawled on the floor, it's impossible to fall further when his eyes slip shut. Vaguely, vaguely, he's aware of his fingers falling limp, away from the wound and /ah/ he thinks /well, we had a good run, didn't we universe?/.

The universe doesn't answer, or if it does Philza's too far gone to hear it. Maybe the acceptance should scare him, but as he lays beneath a tree, it feels warm, it feels gentle - it feels like coming home.

There's something on the tip of his tongue, some memory just out of reach, some deep-set knowledge he really must know.

He doesn't chase it, he simply leans into the warmth and tries to let go.

"Phil!"

... Missa?

He might be too weak to hear the universe, but not the terrified scream of his husband.

It drives Philza, that flicker of a scream. He manages to get one arm under himself, push up, and-

And he doesn't even get to see the terrified man sprinting towards him, as his vision stays black and his body collapses back to the floor.

---

Philza doesn't expect to wake, not to silence and certainly not to soft Spanish sung by a hoarse voice. Whatever pillows his head is oddly shaped but warm, though everywhere else is freezing despite the weight of blankets. An arm is draped over him, and fingers brush through his hair.

He's also in a fucktonne of pain.

The singing hitches like a sob and - yeah no, that's not an angel, Philza's somehow fucking alive.

He'll take it, but it fucking sucks.

Memories are difficult, fragmented. He's...

He's supposed to be holding shut the wound in his side and /fuck/!

Limbs like lead, Philza tries to move, tries to pinch his bleeding flesh shut once again. It's hard, it should be impossible, but he's Philza Fucking Minecraft and he refuses to die!

He refuses, but one of those arms shifts, tries to stop him. Someone kisses the top of his head, shifts to hold his hands, whispers "you're alright, you're okay" in a gentle tone.

The singer, the singer whose name sits beneath his tongue and Philza can't quite grasp it, but he knows they are /wonderful/, /amazing/, his entire fucking /world/.

Well, maybe not all of it, but a massive fuck-off chunk of it at least.

And it is alright, he is okay, until something catches against his wound.

White hot agony, trailing up and down his entire spine.

Philza... Philza doesn't tense, doesn't scream, doesn't fight - his instincts are strong and his instincts have saved him before and he's just an injured, mutilated bird in the hands of a predator and for a moment all he knows is fucking pain and PLAY DEAD.

He doesn't tense at the pain, he goes limp. He can't even choose how his breathing catches - stopped in his throat, wings slack, body slack, unmoving and unresponsive as can be.

Someone calls his name, but blind pain and blind terror are winning, as in the certainty that he must survive. His name comes again, more frantic, then as a scream-

A scream.

A familiar scream that isn't his own and-

Oh, /fuck/, humans don't play dead in the same way, do they?

Through the pain and the fear and the hands on him it's hard, it's so hard - harder still when he hears running feet from else where and everything he is screams /predator, predator, predator/ - but he does it.

Philza takes a deep, loud, gasping, purposeful breath, forces his body to lock again, forces himself to stop playing, to breathe.

The wonderful voice above him stops screaming and starts sobbing, fingers tracing his jawline as he sobs over and over again.

The running feet stop, and there's a discussion in quick, panicked Spanish - too quick for any Philza, but especially for an injured one - before other hands are touching him, pressing him, assessing him.

His instincts are desperate but Philza remembers the screams before. The fight is exhausting, harder than it should be, but he forces himself to keep breathing, keep breathing, keep breathing. Just for the voice, just for the wonderful person who owns the voice and he knows means the world to him.

He tries to stay awake, he really does, but there's only so much he can do. He's tired, and breathing is /exhausting/, and the lovely voice belonging to a stupid but brilliant man isn't singing to him any more, and the longer he's here the more he realises he must actually, legitimately, be safe.

Safe, what a funny idea. But a nice one.

Philza gives in to temptation, and lets himself fade.

If he's safe, he can let consciousness be someone else's problem.

---

Philza wakes next to a warm pillow, and frozen blankets, and the distinct smell of honey tea. There's no singing this time, but familiar fingers trace his cheek and Philza feels them and thinks /Missa/.

There's a steady bip bip, and a sting, and his existence is cloudy with painkillers.

All of those sensations - every single one - adds up to /probably/ a good thing.

This time, awake, Philza manages to open his eyes. His vision is blurry, but the light is dim, and he's able to drink in the image of his husband above him sipping on a steaming mug.

Missa's eyes gaze vacantly into the distance. Philza does not chase them down. Instead he reaches up a shaking hand, just about managing to make it high enough to stroke Missa's cheek.

He sees Missa blink, and look down, and whisper "Phil?"

Philza can only gather so much strength, but he smiles his soft smile and mouths back "Missa".

---

A few hours and a nap later, Philza is sat against Missa's chest, and curled in his arms. They're both in an exhausted daze, Philza never having really quite left one, and Missa having been running on fear for too long. It strains the stitches a little, but not so much it bleeds, and Philza will live.

He's had the summary of what happened - Missa found him in the woods, bought him back, called for help healing him even as he cleaned and stitched the wound himself. There's talk of the poison, about it being new, and the struggle to synthesise an antidote before they ran out of blood they could give him.

From the haunted look in everyone's eyes, it was a fucking close run thing.

He'll have to thank Pac and Mike later, for that. He's already asked Fit to pass the message on, along with dropping his communicator off for cleaning, upgrade, and repairs, but, fuck, he knows the sort of toll the two are willing to put themselves through for people, and he knows he owes them.

He hopes Mike stopped Pac poisoning himself this time - Jesus Fucking Christ that man will be the death of Fit one of these days - and given the turn around might even be correct about it.

Silver lining - there's now an antidote for the next time someone runs into one of those fucks, and Aypierre is already working on a way to mass produce it.

And then there's Roier to thank, who might still give Missa side eye at times - and what even happened there - but who knows his way around the hospital /and/ seems to have kept his husband something approximating calm, and then Tubbo let slip they'd had to round up blood donations from everyone compatible to keep him alive and make up for the blood loss and, fuck, at this point he should probably get Chayanne to help him batch cook a /lot/ of shortbread to box up and hand around.

And then there's Missa, his Missa...

He's not sure /why/ Missa sang until his throat could barely function, especially when Philza was too unconscious to appreciate it, but...

But it was also Missa who found him, who saved him.

Philza presses a kiss to his fingers, then presses those fingers against Missa's throat.

"Hm?" Missa asks. "Phil?"

"Thank you," Philza shifts his hand, keeping the backs of his fingers against Missa's throat as he strokes along his chin with his thumb.

"I didn't do much," Missa whispers, his voice still suffering.

"You found me," Philza says. "You saved me."

"The... wolves?" his voice lilts slightly on the word - with Philza's communicator gone and head missing a significant proportion of blood assigned to it, they're stuck in English. "They found you."

"They would have eaten me, not saved me."

"No!" Missa's eyes widen, and arms tighten around him. "No, they are good- good boys!"

"I'm teasing," Philza promises, and maybe he is now but it had been a very genuine fear at the time. "I'm teasing, it's okay, I'm okay..."

He's not, he feels like death, and the painkillers he's been given will wear off soon. But, he's breathing, he's alive, and it doesn't look like that's changing any time soon.

Missa curls around him, hugging him close, protecting him from all sides. It's a position Philza is intimately familiar with, having done it so many times for his children.

"I was scared," Missa's voice breaks. "I was scared - you scared me."

"I'm sorry," and Philza /is/, he never - he's never wanted to be the cause of such worry, such fear. "Missa, I- I'm so sorry."

"You were dead," Missa says, the sobs free and almost drowning his struggling voice. "You were dead, in my arms. I held you dead in my arms."

A mistranslation? Philza wouldn't be here, if he were dead, he knows that much for sure.

"I'm right here," Philza promises, rather than call out his confusion; English is hard, and it's no time for a grammar lesson. "You got my dumb ass out of there, and got help. We're okay, I'm okay."

"Don't leave me," Missa answers. "You're- you're- banned! No leaving me, never leaving me."

Philza doesn't think his words are reaching through the tears; he pools his strength, and reaches up, and holds his husband close. Missa's arms wrap around his chest - not tight, moving as he breathes and clinging to that pace.

"We're okay," Philza whispers - despite the exhaustion, despite the pain, despite the catheter still in his arm just in case the bleeding restarts and he needs another transfusion, despite how controlling his body is like piloting sludge. "We're okay."

And maybe, this time, they will be.

[helly-watermelonsmellinfellon]

Bethy got mom a small nutcracker at Walmart. She loved nutcrackers very much and she asked me if I wanted to guess its name.

I struggled. This went on for several minutes before I hit record.

Careful with the volume! @flamingpen18 here we are!

~.O.~

Me: Alright, so, it's not the name of a person. It is the name of a Thing. So, it's not a proper name. You are making it a Proper Noun by making it a name, but it not necessarily a name. So, it's not named after people, which means it's a Thing. But I don't- It's- Is it- Is it an ice cream? Is this supposed to be an ice cream?

Mom: I don't really know what it's supposed to be.

Me: Okay, well, that doesn't help me.

Mom: What it looked like to me-

Me: It's- DONT' TELL ME! *chokes*

Mom: I was like, "That's his name. That's his name right there."

Me: Um... Uuuum. Well because- *flabbergasted* He just looks like a fucking nutcracker with an ice cream thing on top. I don't really -What can it- Okay. Is it in relation to an animal?

Mom: No.

Me: What the f- *slaps knee in frustration* Okay. Is it in relation-

Mom: I'm really concerned. *laughs*

Me: *high-pitched giggles* Is it in relation to a food?

Mom: Yes.

Me: Food, okay! This does not help at all. Is it only a food, or is it used to be anything else or is it just food?

Mom: I have seen Nana use this particular item, that is a food, as something else.

Me: ...Butter?

Mom: No.

Me: *wheezing and cackling*

Mom: *weird look* What does butter have to do with anything?

Me: No! You don't wanna know what I was thinking!

Mom: Never mind, Helen, you are not good at this. OMG.

Me: *wheezing* I have such a headache OMG!

Mom: And you did it to yourself. I hope you're happy.

Me: I CAN'T- I'M TRYING! Okay, so... My throat hurts.

Mom: Doo- doo- doo- That's what happens when you cackle like a hyena.

Me: *wheezing* It's not my fault, I can't- Okay, food. Yeah, but how does it- Okay, but if it's not ice cream then how- *chuckling* Okay.

Mom: What else does it look like?

Me: I DON'T KNOW! He looks like an old man trying to be Santa but as a nutcracker! Okay? *giggles*

Mom: Santa Crackers.

Me: Like... okay. *sniffs* *giggles* I forgot for a second that you said food and I thought, 'nipples' but like-

Mom: *cough* No. No! NO!

Me: *cackles* Well- but you said it was on top of it-

Mom: God, what is wrong with you?!

Me: *giggles* Okay. Okay. *sniffs* I'm okay.

Mom: That's up for debate.

Me: Okay.

Mom: Yeah, you said that but still... *laughs*

Me: *wheezing* Ok- *coughs* Oka- I CAN'T! JUS- Okay.

Mom: STOP SAYING 'OKAY'! WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS NOT OKAY!

Me: I'm- I'm Trying! *wheezing* Okay... *laughs* No! I'm trying!

Mom: *laughs* *coughs*

Me: *clears throat* Oh! Is it a gumdrop?

Me: JESUS CHRIST! *howling laughter*

Mom: *laughs* That's it! Yes! Gumdrop!

Me: OMG! WTF?!

Mom: All that! All that for your foolishness!

Me: I was thinking, I was like, what is that like for?

Mom: It's okay, Gumdrop. Aunt Helen'll be okay!

Me: *giggles* *sniffs* To think, we started off with me asking if it was named Martin. *cackles* And then if it was named Nana. *laughs* OMG, man I am not good at that at all. Okay. Okay so... Okay.

Mom: Ar- You keep saying 'okay' and it is not.

Me: You can't blame be because there was a thing on top of it! *coughs*

Mom: I want you to know that I can do nothing but blame you! *giggles*

Me: There was a thingy on to of it, okay? It- It looked less like that and more like the top scoop of an ice cream cone!

Mom: *mumbles* De scoop. De scoopa.

Me: Like, I'm trying to think of like, fucking food, and I should've asked if it was a fucking snack or some shit, it would've made it fucking faster. *sighs* Okay. My head hurts... and it's your fault.

Mom: ...*offended look*

Me: *wheezes*

Mom: How'd it become my fault?

Me: *clears throat* *sniffs* Because you were relishing in my suffering.

Mom: Well, of course, it was funny. Also, very sad.

Me: *sniffs* You suck.

Mom: No, not really.

Me: *sniffs* Alright.

Mom: I have no interest in that shit.

Me: Okay. Everything's okay.

~.O.~

The offender in question:

[aspoonofsugar]

Penny’s Final Word

Cinder might have had the final word of the volume and that is a meta for another time. Still, there is another character who got to have another important final word:

Penny: Let me choose this one thing.

Penny’s arc has always been about self-actualization and escaping objectification.

She was created to be a weapon and everything was decided for her by basically... everyone:

Both enemies and loved ones alike ended up choosing for her multiple times, so it is fitting that Penny herself is the one who has the last word about herself. She makes the final choice that decides how her life should end and what her legacy should be.

At the same time, Penny’s final choice and sacrifice perfectly tie together all the major themes explored in the Atlas arc.

This analysis will try to explore her arc and to show how it is central to everything the Atlas volumes wanted to convey.

PENNY AND HER FAIRIES

What makes a person a person and not something else?

This is a key question in Penny’s story and it can’t be answered without addressing who her Blue Fairy is.

Is it Fria?

Or Ambrosius?

The answer is neither and both. These two characters are definately references to the Blue Fairy, but they are not the ones who make Penny feel human. The one who does is ironically a red fairy:

You saw my soul Through the nuts and bolts You're the friend I can trust Helped me see I'm not just a machine

It is Ruby’s aknowledgement of Penny’s personhood that makes Penny feel alive.

So, what about Fria and Ambrosius? What is their role?

Fria chooses Penny as the next Winter Maiden. This is a powerful moment thematically because it is an aknowledgement of Penny’s humanity. She has always been a real girl, a Maiden at Heart, hence she can be given the powers and protect them.

Ambrosius removes Penny’s robotic parts and makes the “real” Penny come to the surface:

Ambrosius: Okay, but if I take the robot parts out of her, that would leave...

Blake: Penny. The girl who's always been there underneath it.

Penny’s new body is human because Penny has always been human and has always wanted to feel human.

In short, these two moments are moments of recognition of Penny’s humanity. She becomes a human both in soul (Fria) and body (Ambrosius). In particular, she has always had a human soul and this is why it can be tied to the power of the Maiden. When it comes to her body, she aquires a human one because her new appearance is nothing, but a mirror of her soul.

Still, even if these two moments are both meaningful, they are also moments where Penny receives something passively. They are aknowledgements of Penny’s humanity yes, but Penny wants more. She wants personhood aka to live as her own person.

To truly become a person one must be able to make their own choices. And interestingly, Penny’s free will is linked to both moments with her two blue fairies.

Ambrosius’s magic does not simply give Penny a human body, but it gives her back her freedom. Not only that, but it makes it impossible hacking her ever again.

Fria’s interaction with Penny is more complicated.

First of all, Fria does not impose the power on Penny, but asks her to make a choice:

Fria: Penny. Are you the one?

Penny: I…

And Penny does so in a sense, but it is gray. Penny is given no time to think about this choice, differently from both Winter and Pyrrha. It is something imposed on her by the events:

Penny: But taking the Maiden power was the only way to stop--

Moreover, it is something she very clearly does not want:

Penny: I was the protector of Mantle, but now, I am much more than that, and I wish I was not.

In short, Penny’s interaction with Fria is a recognition of her humanity, but also a duty imposed on her by external occurrences.

It is not what Penny herself wants. To truly be human, instead, Penny should make her own choices and be given the chance to pursue what she wants.

Still, what does she truly wishes for?

PENNY AND HER JIMINY CRICKETS

Penny’s wish is made obvious since her first appearance:

Penny: "You called me 'friend'! Am I really your friend?"

Ruby: "Uuuum... Y-Yeah, sure! Why not?"

My wish came true That day that you appeared And called me friend

She wants friends to the point that Ruby’s awkward aknowledgement of their friendship is enough to make Penny completely loyal to the other girl.

At the same time, there are many Jimini Crickets that go in the way of Penny’s wish for friendship:

Penny: I've never been to another kingdom before. My father asked me not to venture out too far, but... You have to understand, my father loves me very much; he just worries a lot.

(...)

Penny: I... was asked not to talk to you. Or Weiss. Or Blake. Or Yang. Anybody, really.

Ruby: Was your dad that upset?

Penny: No, it wasn't my father...

Both Ironwood’s high expectations and Pietro’s overprotectiveness make so that she is not free to enjoy her own life as she wants.

She arrives to the point that she comes up with a plan to stay at Beacon with her new friends:

Penny: Ruby, there's something I've been wanting to talk to you about. I want to stay at Beacon.

Ruby: Penny, they'll never let you do that.

Penny: I know, but I have a plan.

However, we never discover what this plan is:

This does not happen by chance and Penny’s plan is not a dropped plot-point. It is symbolic of how her agency is completely negated. She is objectified to the point that her story is interrupted before she can take any action. It is a meta-way to comment her character and her major struggle.

Penny’s first death is more than a murder. It is a way to refuse Penny’s personhood and agency:

Ruby:  And Penny… was killed… just to make a statement.

She is used as a symbol of Atlas’s shady research. Penny’s own self is forgotten in the chaos that follows.

The same thing happens in Atlas as well:

Ruby: I don't think Robyn was their target. Salem's goal has always been to divide us. I think Penny was exactly where they wanted her, just like at the Vytal Festival.

This time she is not framed as a victim, but as a perpetrator and used as the symbol of an authoritarian regime.

Her enemies’ objectification of Penny is made clear in many ways:

Cinder: I have come too far to be stopped by some toy!

Cinder: You’re just a tool to be used!

Salem:  Although he remains in captivity, it seems that he has worked with Ironwood to gain some control over the puppet masquerading as the Winter Maiden.

And Watts’s virus is just the culmination of it. It is the embodyment of the Jiminy Cricket trying to overwrite what Penny wants.

At the same time, though, Penny’s enemies are not the only ones who try to control her:

Pietro: I lost you before. Are you asking me to go through that again? No. No. I want the chance to watch you live your life.

Penny: But dad… I am trying to.

Penny’s loved ones have tried to protect her all along. However, this wish of protection ends up going in the way of what she really wants:

I've been combat-ready since The day dad made me Now I'll fight for something more Might sound wholesome, But strangely I've got friends Fighting for

What Penny wants is to fight together and for her friends. She does not want her life to be considered less than others’. Still, she does not even want it to be put before others’:

Cinder: I don’t serve anyone. And you wouldn’t either, if you weren't built that way.

Penny: That is not…I choose to fight for people who care about me.

In short, it is as Maria says:

Maria: Don’t you think Penny has had enough people telling her what to do?

PENNY AND BEING A REAL GIRL

At its root, Penny’s struggle has always been this:

Penny: I feel like I wish I could do both the things I need to do and the things I want to do. Is that normal?

She wants to reconcile her duty and her personal wishes.

It is her duty to accept the power of the Maiden and to protect it.

It is her wish to live with her friends and to protect them.

These two things end up coming into conflict multiple times:

Penny: And after the launch, I’ll return to help you all with the evacuation.

Pietro: About that, Penny. When Amity goes up, I think you should be on it with Maria and I.

Penny: But they need me here. Right?

Ruby: Well, if you stay far out of Salem’s reach, then she can’t open the vault. She can’t get to the relic. So...

Weiss: Maybe it is for the best?

Until the finale where Penny makes a specific choice:

Weiss: Penny, no!

If Penny were to act as the perfect Maiden, she would have just gone to Vacuo with the staff. In this way she could have protected both the relic and the power. Even if Cinder had ended up killing all her friends, Salem would have still lost.

However, Penny decides not to act as a Maiden, but as a friend:

Penny: You wouldn’t know anything about friends.

Even the reason why Cinder manages to mortally wound her is because Penny is worried about Jaune and Weiss and gets distracted for a second:

However, it is specifically in the moment of her death that Penny is able to make a choice to reconcile both who she is and what she has to do.

She chooses to protect the power:

Penny: She can’t get the staff..and the power.

And to save a friend:

Penny: I thought of you. And here we are.

Winter would have died without the Maiden powers and the same can be said about the people stranded in Vacuo. Penny saves all by choosing to be the one in control of her death.

Her choice is extremely powerful thematically and it ties together all the themes explored in these last two volumes.

1) It is a choice about trust:

Penny: Trust me.

Winter: Thank you for trusting me with this.

Penny asks to be trusted and chooses to trust as well. After all, this is what friendship is all about:

Attached but not By strings

It is a choice that uses the motif of “the part of you” in two different ways.

2)  Becoming a part of someone else can be seen as a reference to the process of grieving, which is one of the themes explored in this volume:

Grieving means to come to terms with your loss, to accept your feelings for the people who are gone and also their contradictions:

Robyn: Clover was a lot of things. You respected him, but I gotta tell ya, I think you’re the better Huntsman.

Vine: Then perhaps Clover was wrong too.

The lost ones will be missed regardless:

Harriet: Don't you dare! Clover was... He was...

Vine: ...Important to you.

Still, once you manage to finally grieve, you’ll realize the other person has become a part of you:

It does not matter if Qrow’s semblance has evolved, if it is a part of Clover’s power having stayed attached to the pin, both or if it is Clover looking out for them.

What’s important is that Clover will keep on living inside Qrow because Qrow will never forget him or what Clover has taught him:

Clover: You shouldn't do that, you know.

Qrow: Don't worry, I-I gave that up.

Clover: I meant deflect a compliment. Those kids wouldn't be where they are without you. You've had more of an effect on them than you realize.

Qrow should love himself. Only in this way he can stop being a self-fulfilling curse. Only in this way he can start looking at his own life with hope and wish for good luck.

Similarly, Penny won’t be forgotten and her legacy will live through Winter:

Penny: She's… gone.

Winter: No. She's a part of you now.

Penny: I won’t be gone, I’ll be part of you.

3) Penny becomes a part of Winter because Winter is finally able to do this:

Winter: But yes Penny, we must still acknowledge our personal feelings, wrestle with them. It ensures us that we're on the right path. It's what makes us human.

Winter is the one who taught Penny this, but it is obvious that through volume 7 and 8 she has avoided to face her feelings for both her family and Ironwood. By the end of volume 8, however, she is finally able to accept her emotions. She can finally follow her heart. Penny becoming “a part of her” is symbolic of this. As a matter of fact their dynamic has always been about Winter acting as “the mind” and Penny being “the heart”.

Symbolically they integrate because they both are becoming their own person even if in different ways.

Winter becomes her own person because she rejects this mentality:

Winter: Penny. The general is making hard choices so we don't have to.

Penny becomes her own person because she is finally in control of herself and her destiny. Moreover, she is able to do for Winter what Ruby has done for her:

Winter: No, Penny, you were always the real Maiden at heart. I was just a machine. Just… following orders.

Penny: You’re my friend.

She affirms Winter’s personhood and in this way she affirms her own as well.

In other words, this version of Pinocchio does not end with the protagonist being transformed into a real boy by the Blue Fairy, but with Penny transforming Winter in the Blue Fairy:

So “becoming fully human” in RWBY means to do this:

Qrow:  This last great creation would be given the power to both create and destroy. It would be given the gift of knowledge, so that it could learn about itself and the world around it. And most importantly, it would be given the power to choose, to have free will to take everything it had learned and decide which path to follow - the path of light or the path of darkness. And that is how Humanity came to be.

It is about gaining knowledge, like Penny does about feelings and relationships, loving life and accepting death. Finally, it is about making a choice, even if it is painful.

This is because being human is not always simple. It can be hard:

But I found that humanity It came with sacrifice

Having a human soul means you have a duty to do the right thing out of your own free will, like Fria’s gift showed.

Having a human body means you can experience the warmth of a hug:

But it also means you can be mortally wounded:

This is Ambrosius’s teaching.

Still, it was worth it all for Penny because she got the chance to meet friends and to feel alive:

An answered prayer A chance to Share the world To be a girl Who fin'lly felt alive

This is why her second death can be juxtaposed to her first one. Both times she was killed by Cinder. However, the first time she was used as a pawn in Cinder’s plan. This time instead she is not letting herself be controlled and she negates Cinder what she really wants out of her own free will.

In conclusion, there is this phrase by Jean-Paul Sartre:

Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.

And I think it sums up Penny’s story perfectly.

Penny does not choose to be born a robot or to be used as a weapon. She is objectified in multiple ways...

Still, she manages to make something amazing out of herself.

BAYDEN WARDEYN.

“Not happening.”

When was this girl going to learn the moment you tell Bayden what to do that’s exactly when he’ll never do it?

“Peter Parker yes. Maximoff uuuum… well as long as it’s the Evan Peters version because the other dude is gross. If you mean him you have problems. But, if you’re wanting me to name girls you’re fucked. I would totally date Rogue and I know that’s the last thing you want to hear. I would get a dental dam and lick that pussy all damn night. Her boyfriend did not know how pleasure a woman. He had zero creativity. God damn. No touching involved. Good God. It’s not that complicated. He could have been pleasuring her like a queen, but no. They so worried about kissing they forgot all the other ways two people can get it on and love each other. Dumb asses. She’s so hot. He missed out man.”

The nurse looked at Rowan and groaned as she kicked her shoes off.

“I didn’t ask for yours. This rules applies only to Bayden.”

But, it seemed Rowan was in mischief making rile up the nurses mood. She pulled her pants off too.

Okay.

That sure quirked a brow from Bayden. He started to laugh. At first he didn’t get it until he noticed the draw string in the waist line of her pants. It had a string too. Okay. She was being a little shit.

It was hard to stop sniggering but he did as he watched her go down to his shoes. He couldn’t help it. He didn’t think she’d do it, but she did.

So, he just sort of stared at her all up in his own head as she pulled his own strings from his shoes. No touching involved.

Then she passed them to the nurse. She took a chance. At least she did that much, the little shit.

The nurse held all the strings, including the pants, and groaned, “Put your pants back on, Rowan.”

Bayden stood up with his laceless boots and objected, “Her name is Celestis.”

Knowing Rowan’s delusions the nurse just rolled her eyes. Great. Now Rowan had another patient believing her delusions. How lovely.

He grabbed his small bag of items and started to head out. The nurse said, “Wait. I’ll get someone to escort you with the transfer.”

Bayden rolled his eyes. “I think I know where I live by now. I’m allowed to walk around freely once I get there. Cut me some slack here. I think I can manage.”

The nurse looked at them both and shook her head again not really wanting to deal with either one of them. “I’m putting these in the laundry. Go get some new pants, Rowan. Just get to your places for evening checks, both of you.”

Then she walked off annoyed and when she did Bayden started laughing. “The best care in the whole country, damn it. She really just let a couple delusional, half dressed, psychos walk themselves home. I can’t believe people pay for this shit. We are living the life, but your puns girl. You gotta work on that.”

“Come on. Let’s kick it. I’m in the mood for one of those Cuban shoestring fry burgers. Let’s order dinner in.”

He was allowed to order in now. He was dying to eat something other than hospital food.

“Frita Cubanas. No way I’m eating anything else tonight.”

       CELESTIS know’s Bayden is stubborn, && stuck in his old man ways but she couldn’t understand w h y not?  “Not happening because?”  Musing in it a bit.  

       Humming a little as she didn’t really have to think about it.  “All of Maximoff Bayden.  Guessing I was always meant to be here then.”  She loved Quicksilver, regardless of who played him, what Comic Earth, or not, she’d accept Pietro Maximoff as he is.  

       Only she seemed to take in a silent breath in && held her breath in for a moment as it got out of hand.  Bayden got a little to descriptive for her own liking.  She may have not understood what a dental dam was or it’s purpose but she could feel her own body stirring in excitement physically && emotionally changing regardless of her own whims.  “I think the last part was the last thing I truly wanted to hear honestly.”  She wasn’t going to break it to Bayden that Gambit && Rogue have been married a couple times.  Even having kids at some point or another.  She didn’t really need a verbal lesson on his idea of SEXUAL c r e a t i v i t y.

       Celestis could feel the nurses looming gaze right on her annoyed.  Then the groan she’s known so well over time they all sound the same but worth the attitude.  “I don’t make the RULES!  I’m just trying to do the right s t r i n g.”  A little to proud on that one.  Trying to not smile to give it away.  Only beginning to realize Bayden didn’t really join in on the many ways to annoy the nurse in nerdy string puns team up.  Instead he looked a little lost in the beginning, but he warmed up a little.

       Funny!  It was like he had this thought of her being somewhat like ROGUE or E l s a after he figured out she was a Witch.  

       Yet he’s forgotten she’s chanced && risked it several times.  Many times in fact.  As the very first time ever was getting Bayden back to Briarcliffe with Maddox after he got drunk at the Valentines Party.  The only thing that’s really changed was that being a WITCH just happens to c h a n g e the relationship she had with him.  One fault defined her regardless of her many other talents, or the fact she hasn’t really swapped into anyone else’s body since Middle School.  It only took one part of her being a little complicated && complex to see ruin.

       When she was finished with pulling the strings off of Bayden’s boots.  She’d rise back up to her own two feet.  Her hand hovered just a little above the nurses, dropping the shoe strings into her hand.  No touching involved.  Smoothing her hands over the fabric of her hoodie making sure it didn’t rise or bundle.

       No.  It didn’t seem Celestis was going to make an effort to put her pants back on let alone her shoes.  However dangerous it really was, with what other patients might incite, or stimulate the constant wankers.  It was really a simple matter of if the Nurse returned the shoelaces then she’ll put on her shoes && pants.  Nearly smiling finding it amusing the way Bayden corrected the Nurse

       “&& if he forget’s I’m pretty good with directions.”  She chimed in.  After all, how hard could it be for Celestis to get Bayden back to Asylum Acres?  “I know we can manage.”

       Giving her the thumbs up as she heard her but didn’t really care what happened to them.  Watching the Nurse walk off annoyed, she’d wiggle her finger’s BYE behind there back.  That was entertaining && odd as fuck.  So odd.  Feeling her arms rise as she’d stretch them out as if she could finally relax until Bayden made a jab about the pun’s she stringed out.  “You’re KNOT going to s t r i n g me down Bayden on my puns!  You gotta work on trying.  Zero effort given, at least I tried.”  

       Shrugging, she’d shove her hands in her hoodie’s pocket.  “I’ll just stick to my usual.”  That being either nothing at all or half melted ice.  It would be a real waste for him, as she wouldn’t be able to stomach all that anyway.  “I’m guessing she put you in the mood for that one huh?”  Giggling just a smidge at the fact that he wanted to eat something with the term string in it.  “Lead the way or did you actually need me to guide you back?”

when everything falls apart. II.

previous / next

Hey guys! Here’s part two of my little Wooyoung drabble. I honestly have no idea how many parts will follow. I haven’t decided how the story is going to end either. So uuuum, we’ll see! Also, I received quite a few requests. I make sure to start to work on them asap – I just need a bit time because being an adult is a little tough lately – meh. Anyway, I hope you like the second part. :) – V.

Genre: some sort of angst??

Pairing: Wooyoung x reader

Word Count: 1.4k

During their whole performance, your eyes were literally glued upon the body of the blonde male, you called your boyfriend. On stage, there was no sign to be seen about what happened backstage seconds ago. He moved across the stage like the true performer, he was, seemingly enjoying the cheering from their fans. Instead of enjoying the show, however, your thoughts were busy with something else. With the uncommon distance your boyfriend kept towards you.

Have you done something that made him angry? It was nothing new that Wooyoung had his grumpy moments from time to time. By now, you were used to it and given the fact he had to endure lots of stress, you couldn't be mad at him for that. After all, it was one of his personality traits as well which you knew about as you both began dating.

Nevertheless, he had never behaved in such a way towards you. Many questions roamed through your head … to find a proper explanation for this weird behaviour. But then again you thought it probably wasn't anything bad at all. Perhaps, Wooyoung was simply exhausted from all the promotion for their newest album. It all added extra stress to the drained male. It might be best if you stopped overthinking since there'd be a simple explanation for all that happened. At least, that was what you thought.

Before you could waste another thought on the current situation, the music ended while the cheering became even louder. Chewing on your lower lip lightly, you didn't tear your gaze off the stage and patiently waited for the boys return. It took them a felt eternity until they eventually made their way backstage, waving at their fans whilst doing so.

This small gesture made you smile. You knew how much the boys loved Atiny and you honestly haven't witnessed any other group interact with their fans like ATEEZ did before. But probably you were a little biased given the fact you were a proud Atiny yourself. After all, that was one of the main reasons why Wooyoung and you met.

Once each member was gathered in the backstage area, you couldn't help but rush towards them, congratulating them on their amazing performance. “I didn't expect less from you, guys”, you exclaimed with a wide grin plastered upon your lips, gazing into satisfied, yet tired faces of the members before your gaze eventually slipped over to Wooyoung to shoot him a proud grin. As expected, he didn't even bother to smile back at you. Sighing inwardly, you made your way over to a larger table with various water bottles on it for the groups and staff to simply grab one just to head back to your boyfriend's side.

Glaring at him from the side, you held out the bottle for him to grab. Upon that gesture, Wooyoung shot you a short, even confused glare before he eventually decided to grab it, muttering his thanks as he opened the bottle up to basically drown half of the liquid within seconds.

“You were the best tonight. As always.” You complimented him – as you always did because in all honesty, for you, Wooyoung was indeed the best performer among his group. Something you didn't hesitate to let him know. You were aware of how much he enjoyed getting praised … especially from you. But instead of offering you his typical smirk and teasing you about enjoying his performance, he remained quiet and just gave you an absent nod. Seriously, slowly it began to annoy you for how he treated you with silence, yet you refrained from confronting him about it. At least, for now.

As soon as he was finished with drowning his drink, he instantly headed off together with the other boys to change for the rest of the evening. As always, you followed them to their room in order to help them to get rid of their make-up for the night. Minutes after arriving, you grabbed the needed utensils to stroll over to your boyfriend to offer some help.

“Here, let me help you”, you gently said as you witnessed the blonde struggling with removing his eyeliner. Before you could even start your work though, you got interrupted by his harsh voice, slender fingers wrapping around your wrist to prevent you from starting to remove his make-up.

“I don't need your help, y/n.” He stated, voice laced with coldness as those words left his mouth. Not the first time this evening, you were all baffled by his words but this time it hit you harder than before. “Just leave me be. I do not need you babying me the whole time.” Did he really just say that out loud or was your mind just messing with you again? Honestly, at this point, you weren't even sure about that anymore.

“I'm sorry?”, you gave back, voice weak as your puzzled expression refused to fade anytime soon. “I just wanted to help … I didn't know this would be a problem”, you gave back, your forehead wrinkling upon the harsh words he literally threw at you.

“Well, now you know”, he snapped, releasing your wrist immediately as he rose up from the chair he had been sitting on the whole time, facing you briefly. “Do me one favour and let me be for the rest of the day, okay? I honestly can't deal with you right now.” With that being said, Wooyoung walked off, leaving you with a hurt and puzzled expression behind. You couldn't even process what he just said to you. What on earth happened that he'd say something like that to you? Your mind went blank at some point, not being able to think straight for now.

Slumping down on the chair which just got free, you ran a hand through your hair, inhaling a deep breath. Of course, your view became blurry as the first tears began to appear. However, you refused to release them just now. Crying in public had never been easy for you since the last thing you wanted was pity from anyone.

“Noona?” You suddenly heard another familiar voice behind you, refusing to turn your face to the side which was quite useless anyway since the mirror reflected your expression. Even though you tried your best to put on a facade and smile at San who randomly showed up behind you, he knew you far better than that. Everyone did.

Hearing the softness in his voice eventually broke you, causing you to release a muffled whimper, your palm pressing against your mouth to prevent any more sounds to come from your lips. The last thing you needed right now was the whole group to surround you. In an instant, San was at your side, pulling you into a tight embrace which eventually completely broke you. Tears streamed down your cheeks, dampening his shirt with your hot salty tears. You had no idea how you managed it, but somehow you were able to cry silently into your friend's shoulder, releasing a small whimper every now and then during the time the taller male held you close to his body in a rather protective manner.

Throughout the time he kept you in his arms, San remained silent and let you cry, giving your back soothing rubs. “What did I do wrong, San?”, you questioned once you calmed down a little, not daring to raise your gaze with the fear the others would see you. Surely, they've already noticed something was off. No one of them was dumb and it was quite obvious the way you laid in San's arms that you had been crying. But knowing you for a while, they gave you some space for now since they knew how you thought of such situations. Especially in public. San was already there to take care of you but be sure that they are going to pamper you as soon as you were in their dorm.

“You didn't do anything wrong, noona”, he whispered, pressing his lips against your temple in a soft manner, tightening his grip around your fragile frame. “He's been acting quite off lately. Give him some time. He didn't mean what he said”, San tried to reassure you as he pressed another kiss upon your head, swaying you in his arms. “Everything will be alright, I promise.”

Little did you know that San couldn't keep his promise this time.

003 for my boy tave? u_u

Answers for this meme.  Also I’m doing this one in English because the inconsistency would just be too much for me. And I don’t know. I feel like it..

How I feel about this character: I love him! I love him so much, he’s one of my favorites! (I have six favorites who I kind of love equally and he is one of them ^^). And... not to brag but the main reason for this is that I really love his whole journey and what he has to deal with. It’s gonna be so much fun and let’s just say that with Nauthiz we’re barely getting started. It’s gonna be so much fun! ^^  Also I think he has a good balancing act between being a shitty person who does legitimately shitty things and having nicer and more positive traits / not being as shitty as he thinks he is. He is just really fun, because he doesn’t really know himself at this point and has a lot of self-discovery in both directions. 

All the people I ship romantically with this character: I mostly ship him with Eiwaz-Coal.  I guess I can also see the appeal with Liam? Not my cup of tea but still fun enough. 

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Him and Rhy! Hands down, it’s the best combination. I love all of their interactions in the story so much and I cannot help myself but see them as this stupid “I care about you and I hate it” dynamic. (But I guess this is just the stance everyone has for Rhy)

My unpopular opinion about this character: Are there unpopular Blank Rune opinions? I think he’s a really bad judge of character? He seems generally like this gritty guy archetype but... is just really dysfunctional with it. It’s fun.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: .............. 

My OTP: Still Eiwaz-Coal. They both are badasses and not easily impressed and still very impressive in their own right. So each time they are both on screen, they’re just staring each other down, because they’re confused at how much of an even match they are and how they fail to intimidate the other person. It’s a fun dynamic.

My OT3: Uuuum... Man, I do not ship enough people. The only OT3 I see that is feasibly possible is making the most shity partner in crime trio by adding Esca to the mix. But seriously like... poor Tave. Wouldn’t be romantic at all and more an absolute horror story. And still not really my cup of tea, I’m just getting really desperate here!

The Light in You

Pairings: Kylo Ren x Reader

Genre/Warnings: Birthday!Fic

Words: 2,200

Summary: HAPPYYYYYY BIRTHDAYYYYYY to one of my bestest followers on the whole of the great wide web, @scheherazades-horcrux!!! You have supported me and my work for so long with such kindness, and if I was rich and famous I’d give you an all-expense paid trip to Galaxy’s Edge- but for now, this will have to do :D I love you darling!!! Enjoy!!

“He’s going to see us.”

“He’s not going to see us.”

“Kylo Ren, you are a six-foot-something dark monstrosity with a cape, there is no way he’s not going to-!” You quickly cut yourself off as the He in question comes stalking down the corridor, the heels of his boots stomping just a little more threateningly than usual. Hux is clearly peeved- his face is almost the color of his hair- but rather than immediately honing in on the two of you standing on the opposite side of the hallway, he zeroes in on the nearest unfortunate mechanic.

“Ren. Where is he. People said he came this way.”

The rookie’s eyes widen, confused, and his gaze darts over to where you and Kylo are watching the scene- Kylo in vague amusement, you in absolute fascination. When Kylo puts a gloved finger up to his lips in the universal signal for don’t you dare say a word, you have to press a hand over your lips to keep giggles from spilling out.

The engineer tries and fairly spectacularly to look the general in the eye as he answers. “I’m, um, not sure? Sir? Have you checked the- um- the flight deck?” His voice is wobbling and looks as though he’s about to burst into tears.

Hux releases an extremely controlled breath before continuing on his march to find Kylo, whom he’s been summoning all day and yet can’t seem to find.

You hold your breath when Hux’s head doesn’t even turn as he passes you, mumbling to himself all sorts of colorful curse words that would make even the most seasoned stormtrooper blush.

Once he’s out of sight around the corner, plus a few extra seconds for good measure, you slowly lower your hand from your mouth. “Holy. Shit.”

Kylo is smirking. “Such little faith.”

“You just- we just- were we just fucking invisible? You can do that?!”

“Mm, no. It’s more like… redirection. I heavily suggest to his subconscious that there’s nothing to see here, and so his waking mind doesn’t notice us. Everyone else knows we’re here.” He inclines his head towards the newbie, frozen in place like he’s seeing his life flash before his eyes. “Hux’s mental fortitudes are astonishingly pathetic for someone who spends his time around a Force user.”

“Stars.” You’re still reeling from the encounter. “Why aren’t you, like, a master thief or something? You could do anything! The Black Phantom strikes again, millions of credits worth of jewels stolen without a trace-”

“It doesn’t fool cameras. Or droids.”

“Oh.” Your noir fantasy comes crashing to a halt. “I guess that means no diamonds for me.”

He quirks an eyebrow. “I thought you said diamonds were, and I quote, ‘worthless hunks of carbon artificially inflated in price for the sole purpose of trying to show off how much you think you love someone.’”  

You shrug. “I mean, they are, but they’re shiny.”

“Typical woman.”

“You have zero room to talk, the way you moon over that special snowflake sword of yours. I have half a mind to just let the two of you get married and have a long peaceful life together.”

Kylo is glaring at you with that look on his face, the one that says he’s going to either kill you and himself,  up he’s not quite sure in which order. To temper his aggravation, you grab his hand and tug him along. “Okay, What’s next?”

Despite his annoyance, his fingers entwine with yours and he allows you to pull him down the hallway, in the opposite direction Hux went. “Haven’t you seen enough yet?”

“Are you kidding me? You haven’t even thrown things across the room yet!” There’s an exasperated sigh from behind you, but you gleefully ignore it as you head for Kylo’s quarters in the south wing of Starkiller Base.

Technically, this entire day came to pass because of a bet. Well, a lost bet. On Kylo’s part. One one lazy afternoon where you both had some free time, you happened to find an old Dejarik board tucked away in a spare room filled with a few packs of cards and creased books. Competitive as you are, you immediately challenged him to a game- winner gets to do whatever they want with the other person for an entire day, no objections from their partner.

You knew Kylo had grown up playing- he’d mentioned it before, a rare insight into his past- and just as you predicted, was enormously cocky about the whole thing. He’d smirked, tried to talk you out of it, and said he’d go easy on you.

What Kylo didn’t know was that you too had grown up playing Dejarik- the orphanage had one measly board, and it shorted out most of the time, but you’d spend hours upon hours playing with the other kids in to-the-death tournaments where you wagered blankets, food rations, chore duties, and everything inbetween.

And so, when Kylo promptly got his ass handed to him (oh man, the look on his face- you never wanted to forget it) you immediately set out planning a day where he had to show you absolutely everything he can do with his crazy Force powers. You’ve never really gotten a chance to see them up close, and you’ve always been so curious- who wouldn’t want to be a space wizard??- so they day has been filled with you tossing objects at Kylo and watching him expertly slice them in two with his lightsaber, stopping blaster bolts in thin air, and of course becoming “invisible” to avoid General Horrible. 

Now, sitting cross legged on your bed, you watch Kylo remove a few of his layers- gloves, cape, coat. It always makes you happy when he does this. It means he’s comfortable enough around you to take off bits and pieces of his mask, small as they may be. Some day, you’re going to see all of him, even the parts he keeps hidden. He deserves to know he’s not the monster he thinks he is.

“Alright. What next?”

You grin. “Flying.”

“Excuse me?”

“You heard me! I want to soooooooooar!” You fling your arms out exaggeratedly. “If you can throw a stormtrooper clear across the room, I’m sure you can let me hover in the air for a few seconds, yes?”

“I-”

“I’m not hearing a no.” You bounce yourself on the mattress a few times like a toddler waiting to be picked up. “Come on, just don’t let me fall on my face and it’ll be great!”

Another long suffering sigh, and he turns his palms right side up where they’re resting on his thighs. Nothing happens for a few moments. Your heart stutters in anticipation. Then, ever so slowly, you begin to lift off the bed- one inch. Two. Another four. It’s an extremely weird sensation- completely foreign and yet somehow incredibly comfortable. It’s like you’re suspended in a warm pool of water, buoyant and cradled, and the notion of falling is so remote you don’t even feel like it’s a possibility. You can’t help the laugh of glee that escapes from your chest as you wave your hands around midair, touching nothing but feeling overly sensitive nonetheless. Kylo is looking up at you with a faint smile, half focused on his work and half focused on the light in your eyes that could rival any star he sees from his TIE fighter.

After a few minutes of messing around- swimming in midair, sticking your hair up into spikes- you let him lower you gently back to ground, guiding you to sit next to him as he comes into reach. When you settle back onto the mattress, all your air leaves you in a whoosh.

“Holy crap,” you mutter, trying to make your lungs work. “Why do you not just fly everywhere?”

“A bit dramatic, don’t you think?”

You scoff and scoot closer so you can stick your arm through his and let your head rest on his shoulder. “Kylo Ren, being dramatic? I’ve never seen such a thing.”

You can feel his huff rumble through his chest, and you smile into his shirt. “Any magical miracles you want to impart?”

“It’s not magic.”

“Coulda fooled me.” You pause. “Oh! I know!” You scoot away a bit and look at him. “Read my mind.”

“What?”

“You can do that, can’t you? I’ve heard rumors but I’ve never seen you do it.”

“There’s a reason for that.”

“It’s fine,  you won’t hurt me, I promise.”

“You don’t know that.”

“I do know that.”

Your statement makes him stop for a moment and turn to look at you- really look at you, his brown eyes taking you in like he’s just seeing you for the first time. “You trust me that much.”

“Of course I do.” There’s not a trace of insincerity in your voice, and Kylo doesn’t even have to read your mind to know that.  

“Okay. Just- here.” He sits opposite of you, cross-legged, so that your knees are just barely touching, and lets your fingers rest in his still open palms. You’re fixed with a look- “you have to tell me to stop, if it hurts, or if there’s something you don’t want me to see, or-”

You stop him with a kiss, light on his lips. “I get the picture, Black Phantom. Go for it.”

Another sensation, even more curious then the last. There’s a slight pressure at your temples, and a single moment of fear- it’s just Kylo, relax, it’s okay- and then a ‘Hello.’

‘Whoa. I can talk to you just by thinking?’

‘Clearly.’

‘What number am I thinking of?’

‘Forty-two.’

‘Uuuum how many toes am I holding up?’

‘How many- toes?’

‘Well, you can see my fingers.’

A pause. ‘Three. Your toes are frighteningly dexterous.’

You giggle. ‘Thank you. I think.’

There’s more talking- well, not talking, but you know- but honestly you aren’t really paying any attention to it. The sensation of Kylo floating through your head, touching a few memories here and there delicately, like they might break, is enough to think about. You let yourself float with him, not really thinking of anything in particular, just letting things come as they please.

‘Today is my birthday.”

“Wait, really?” Kylo is so startled the mental connection breaks, and you blink at the sudden loss of warmth. “I thought you didn’t know when your birthday was?”

“Well. I don’t.” The closest thing you have is the day you were dropped on the porch of the orphanage, and that doesn’t quite have the same ring to it- like, ‘happy abandoned-by-your-parents day!’ “But that just means I get to pick my own, right? And from what I can tell birthdays are supposed to be happy. Spent with people you love, doing things that make you laugh- a day that you play over and over again in your head before you go to sleep for the warm feeling it gives you in your chest.” You study the man across from you. “And that’s what today has been like. So, today’s my birthday. I’ve decided.”

“Do you even know what today’s date is?”

You crack a smile. “No. Is that important?”

“If you want it to happen again next year, it is.” Kylo looks thoughtful for a moment, then shifts to get up off the bed and rummage through his bedside table drawer. Something emerges, but he hides it in the palm of his hand when he sits back down across from you. “Close your eyes.” You do so. Something is draped into your palm- you can feel the reverence with which he does it. “Happy birthday.”

A white Kyber Crystal, glowing faintly, is nestled in your hands. Soft black material that feels identical to Kylo’s cloak is threaded through a crack in the gem, turning it into a wearable declaration of- something. Love? Could you say love? “I didn’t know when I was going to give this to you. But a birthday begets birthday presents.”

“Kylo. How did-?” It hums softly as you turn it between your fingers, feeling it vibrate slightly as you admire its fractured surface.

“That’s not important. It’s yours now.” He watches as you tie it around your neck and let it fall, where it dangles just above your heart.

“Why not red? I would’ve thought you’d want us to match.”

He shakes his head. A hand reaches for your gift, as if drawn to it, but ends up tucking a rogue piece for hair behind your ear and settling behind your neck. “I see light in you,” he whispers. “So much of it. This… isn’t enough, but it will have to do for now.”

You smile as you lean into his touch. “There’s plenty of light in you too, Kylo Ren.”

“There’s not.”

“There is. It sparks every time I kiss you.” And just to prove your point, you do so, white light glowing from between the both of you.

Feel free the read this on my ao3 instead! 

Jeremy was flipping through his French homework on his bed when he heard the front door open and close. He threw his book down onto the bed and ran to his door to find Evan coming up the stairs.

“Hey,” Jeremy said

Evan looked up at him and gave him a small smile, “Hi.”

Jeremy gave him a quick once over. Evan didn’t look any worse than last night except for-

“What happened to your cast?” Jeremy asked once Evan had reached the top of the stairs. Evan’s cast was gone, replaced with a heavy wrapping of ace bandages.

“It uh- it melted a lot last night so I went to the hospital this morning and had it taken off. The doctor said that it was basically healed so he just gave me this.”

“What even happened to you last night?” Jeremy asked.

Evan picked at his cast as he filled Jeremy in on what had happened once they had arrived at the party and Jeremy went off to find Jake.

“…and then after the hospital, Connor dropped me back off here,” Evan finished, picking at his bandage.

Jeremy was leaning against his doorframe, arms crossed, eyes squinting by the time Evan finished his story.

“What the hell are you doing with Connor Murphy?” Jeremy asked

“What?” Evan asked, looking caught off guard.

“What are you even doing with him? He’s the school nut job, why are you hanging around him?”

Evan blinked rapidly, “He…he’s my friend.”

“It’s bad for your image” Jeremy pursed his lips and shrugged, “There are rumors about the two of you around school. I didn’t think they were true but when he showed up last night and you just went with it?”

Evan stared at him, eyes large and shiny, face flushed, “I, um, he’s-he’s really nice. He was, uh, the one who convinced me to go to, to go to the party.”

“Evan, you can’t hang out with him. People are going to start thinking you’re a freak too.”

Evan was quiet for a long moment.

“Don’t they already, don’t they already think that? Plus, Connor saved my-my life.”

Jeremy opened his mouth to say something else, but Evan cut him off.

“Why do you even…care? I’m surprised that you even-even noticed what I’ve been up to with all the time you’re spending with-with Jake.”

Jeremy’s face turned red, “We’re dating! We’re supposed to hang out!”

“Well, I’d rather hang out with the school freak then…someone-someone who abandons their friends for some popular jock. You’re becoming a real jerk, Jeremy!”

Evan watched as Jeremy’s hands and teeth clenched.

“You know what? I’m so sick of having to deal with this!” Jeremy yelled, stomping back into his room.

He turned around, glaring at Evan, “I wish our parents had never met so I didn’t have a loser for a brother!”

The door slammed and Evan’s eyes blurred. A mix of sad and angry tears almost fell but Evan rubbed them away.

He walked to his own room and laid down, mentally exhausted from all that had happened in the last 15 hours.

-

Evan,

Are you still doing ok?

 Dear Connor,

I’m still a little freaked out, but other than that I’m ok. What about you?

Evan

 I’m fine, I’m just glad you’re ok. Can we meet up tomorrow or something?

 Dear Connor,

I can’t. My mom doesn’t want me going anywhere for the rest of the weekend.

Evan

 Ok. I wanted to ask you in person, but do you want to go to the school dance that’s coming up? I don’t really want to go but I heard someone mention it at the thing last night so I thought I’d ask.

 Dear Connor,

I don’t have a tie to wear so I can’t go.

Evan

 Just think about it? I promise it can’t be any worse then what happened last night.

 Dear Connor,

I will.

Evan

Michael was reorganizing his collection of Magic the Gathering cards the day after the house party. He was too worked up to do anything productive, like gaming. Plus, there was no one to play with.

Michael frowned at the thought of who he should be playing video games with. He sighed and flopped over the beanbag chair next to him. He glanced over at the red one next to him. That was Jeremy’s spot.

Whenever Jared was over, Michael always insisted on dragging his bed, a stack of mattresses, in front of the tv so they could sit on that instead.

The beanbags were Michael and Jeremy’s.

Michael covered his face with his hands right before the doorbell rang. He pulled himself up and climbed the stairs. When he opened the door, he expected the pizza delivery person to be on the other side, but to his shock it was Jeremy.

“Hey…” Jeremy said, looking a little nervous.

The surprise of seeing Jeremy again almost caused Michael to pull him into a hug, but he remained where he was.

“What?” Michael asked

“I just wanted to talk.”

Michael remained silent.

“About what? How you called me a loser or how you left me for dead?”

“Michael, please it’s not like that-” Jeremy started but Michael quickly cut him off.

Of course, Michael still wanted Jeremy, but he was so hurt he couldn’t stop himself from speaking brutally honest.

“Not like that? Then what was it like, Jeremy? You're finally realizing that you can do better than me? That I’m nothing to you? That you’re so much better than me? That I really am a fucking loser? How can one anyone, let alone Jack, change you so much?”

Jeremy looked down at the ground in shame. Michael had to fight the urge to comfort him.

“I just want people to like me. To think I’m cool.” Jeremy said in a small voice.

“Newsflash asshole; I already liked you and thought you were cool before you frenched Jake!”

“Yeah?! Well, you and Jared-”

“What about me and Jared? At least I didn’t leave him to die in that fire!” Michael shouted before slamming the door close in Jeremy’s face.

Michael stomped his way back down to his room and yelled into a pillow.

He didn’t even get back up when the pizza boy arrived.

-

“No.  None of that stuff is true.” Connor said with a grin.

Connor had called Evan the Friday after the house party. They still emailed most of the time, but Connor was allowed to use the house phone at times. He and Connor went out for ice cream and decided to go back to Evan’s house since there was no one home.

As they pulled up, Evan has started asking Connor about the rumors that followed him and Connor asked him questions back.

“State trooper?” Evan asked

“Fake. Uh, did you really hide in a janitor closet all day?” Connor asked.

“Not-not exactly.” Evan said with a blush “The duck?”

“He’s safe. Throwing up on Mr. Munsin while trying to give a speech?” Connor asked

Evan groaned, “Fact. I hid in the bathroom-in the bathroom until school ended then dropped, uuuum, his class the next day.”

“Fair enough.” Connor laughed and followed Evan inside after he had unlocked the front door.

“The hair?” Evan asked with a smile.

“My hair?” Connor asked, sounding surprised.

“Someone said that it’s just a-a wig you made from the hair of your…murder victims.” Evan laughed and led Connor up the stairs.

“Yeah well no,” Connor said with a smile.

“Where, um, were you last year? I know the porn career's a lie.” Evan said

“Do you?” Connor asked with a quirked eyebrow

They both paused for a moment then shared a laugh.

Evan opened the door to his room and they sat down together on his bed. They were both still grinning from the ridiculousness of the rumors and gossip people had spread about them.

“Will you…tell me something true?” Evan said.

“Something true?” Connor parroted, then scrunched up his eyebrows in what looked like deep contemplation.

“I hate peas.” He offered.

“No. Something real. Something no one else…no one else knows.” Evan said.

“To be fair, no one else probably knows that,” Connor said.

“Come on. Really though.” Evan said and nudged Connor’s shoulder with his.

Connor readjusted on the bed so he was facing Evan and rubbed his neck, looking awkward.

“Okay, so when I was 12, or something, my mom took me shopping for a really nice suit. You know, something I was just gonna grow out of in a year but she said that everyone was gonna start having Bar Mitzvahs and parties and I should have something nice to wear to all of them. I didn’t…end up getting invited to anything so it just sat in my closet forever.” Connor said

Evan felt terrible, “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you talk about that.”

Connor shrugged and reached into his hoodie pocket.

“Actually, I went looking for it the other day cuz um -”

Connor pulled a blue folded up square and held it out to Evan. Evan took it and unfolded it. It was a tie.

“When we talked about the dance the other day you said you didn’t have a tie and this is the only one I have and I thought it’d be cool if you wore it and it’s never been used before and it’s blue and you like blue you know?” Connor rambled

No one had ever given him something like this before or told them something so personal. It must have been embarrassing to bring up something like that from the past but Connor had done it because Evan had asked. Connor had hung onto the tie all these years, it probably still hurt to think about not getting invited to any parties but he still dug it up to let Evan use it.

Evan felt his heart start to beat fast and he started to sweat.

“I mean I’m not gonna wear it so only if you want to you can and -” Connor was still talking.

Evan leaned forward and kissed him. Connor jerked back and Evan’s face heated up and his body froze.

Oh god, what had he done? He hadn’t even though that through a little bit. He had just thought it would be nice to do then he did it. What if Connor got up and left? What if he never wanted to talk to Evan again?

Evan’s mind was going a mile a minute, but he tried his best to concentrate on Connor.

Connor looked slightly scared for some reason, then just nervous, then something that looked like guilt, before he met Evan’s eyes. They stared, wide-eyed for a few heartbeats then Connor lurched forward, and kissed Evan. Evan threw his arms around Connor’s neck and kissed him desperately. Connor snaked his arms around Evan’s middle and clung to him. Evan made a soft noise into Connor’s mouth and was kissed harder.

They kissed and kissed and kissed and finally Evan pulled back a little. His heart was wildly pounding in his chest. He rested his forehead on Connor’s and took in shaky breaths. They just sat there holding each other after that. Their chests were pressed together, and Evan could feel Connor’s heart beating just as fast as his.

rules: tag 9 people you want to get to know better.

tagged by: @not-quitenormal (Thanks for tagging me, new friend! I love stuff like this)

favorite time of year: I usually say a tie between summer and fall- my birthday is in summer and the season just has such an air of fun even though I’m quite heat sensitive, and fall is HALLOWEEN TIME plus has my ideal temperatures... but since I’ve gotten more into nature this past year or so I get really excited by spring, seeing all the plants and flowers start to pop up for the first time... I feel bad saying ‘everything but winter’ though because I actually don’t dislike winter ^^;; 

comfort food: Uuuum probably any pasta I guess? For some reason I’m having trouble thinking of what this would be. Or cinnamon rolls. Or maybe knüdel- these potato dumplings with breadcrumbs that are my favorite holiday food ^.^

do you collect something: I collect probably too many things tbh- mostly dolls and various other kinds of toys. My Monster High collection is my biggest and most active! 

favorite drink: Vanilla coke or mango pepsi. I love soda a lot. Or, if this means alcoholic drinks, I like things that are very sweet and don’t taste like alcohol ^^; Piña coladas would be my favorite!

favorite song: I really do not have one single overall favorite song... can I cheat and say album? That’d have to be Wicked; it is entwined with my soul at this point

current favorite song: I’m on a minor Cats kick right now and have been starting my day with Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats (theatre elitists can leave)

favorite fic: One would probably expect me to have something Ace Attorney here, but it’s actually been a while since I’ve actively read fanfiction in general... not out of lack of interest, just out of... idk it hasn’t happened. That being said I’m gonna take the opportunity to plug my dear friend’s amazing Portal fic The Resurrection Project (of which I was the editor!) Tagging: @rouxlskaardofficial​, @butchsunbeam, @1-800mushroom, @imgonzoingrightnow (I both have trouble thinking of people and feel awkward tagging people so I’m not gonna do 9, and no pressure at all if you don’t like this kind of thing/just don’t feel like doing it. also Spooky I know you are already actively my friend but still)

Seven Crimes and Punishments- Living Together: A Hybrid named Jun

Chapter 8

A Hybrid named Jun

The sky within the box was slowly growing lighter and brighter as the black keyhole shaped sun started showing itself from behind the trees, inside the house, everyone in the house are sound asleep, with the exception of Margarita who was laying on the couch with a teal blanket draped over her to stay warm, she had being laying there for hours without sleeping, she never felt tired at all no matter how hard she tried, but she eventually got used to it for she's just an incarnation of a demon within a clockworker's doll. Margarita looked at the grandfather clock in the hallway and found that it's 5:45, realizing that Allen and the Sinners will be waking up soon.

She got off the couch and started heading for the kitchen, once there she took out a cook book entitled: "The Book of Baked Goods". She flipped the pages until she found a recipe that caught her eye and in quote:

"Ooooooooooh, Blueberry Muffins!" She beamed in joy, she puts on her apron and starts readying the muffins.

~45 minutes later~

She puts the muffins in the oven and begins to heat up the frying pans for bacon and eggs, while cooking them, she felt a strange presence lurking around, she looked around the kitchen to see what it was...there was no one in particular in the room, she turned back to her cooking and finished cooking breakfast. She made a plate for herself...however just as she's about to take her seat, she came face to face with a strange boy with black Mohawk styled hair that matches his wings, brown slit eyes behind his glasses, fangs sticking out of his mouth, and tan skin.

Margarita let out a surprised yelp as her breakfast flies in the air, to which the strange boy catches with one hand.

"Is this yours?" He asked. She nodded slowly, "Here you go m'lady." He gives her the plate.

"Th-thank you." She stutters, she didn't know what to say about the situation she's in.

"What's that intoxicating smell? It's delicious." She heard someone said, it sounded like Banica.

"Oh Guys! Guys!" Margarita got up and went into the hallway to find the sinners coming down the stairs, in their nightwear.

"Good morning, Margarita-Chan." Kayo greeted her.

"Kayo! There is this strange boy with black wings in the kitchen."

"What boy with wings?" Nemesis said looking inside. "There's no one there." Margarita looked as well, the kitchen was empty.

"Bu-bu-bu-but he was just there!"

"You must be having one of your hallucinations again hun." Banica said as she came down as well.

"Banica!" Allen said.

"Uuuum." She didn't know what to say, she just saw him, or maybe Banica was right...*Ding* The timer went off, "Oh the muffins!" She went and started taking them out.

"You made muffins?" Riliane said while rubbing her eyes.

"Yes, so much has happened yesterday that I thought I try to get you all to a better start with something sweet."

"Great Idea Margarita." Allen said sitting down, that comment made Margarita smile.

"What's for breakfast?" Sateriasis asked, he's finally wearing pants for nighttime for once.

"Bacon and Eggs with Blueberry muffins!"

"I didn't sleep so well last night." Gallerian came in with messy shaggy blue hair, all groggy and cranky. "Ugh, and my head hurts, I need coffee." he starts preparing the coffee.

"I don't think coffee ca-"

"Your nap was pretty long yesterday, Galley." Banica said.

"Not to mention the amount of booze you had." Nemesis joked.

"Go jump in a ditch, Demon, I'm not in the mood to deal with you." He snapped at her, it's possible that he may not remember last night due to alcohol conception.

"Whatever." She eats her eggs.

"Where is the grounded coffee?"

"In the cabinet to your left." Riliane said, yawning, Gallerian went to the said cabinet but just as he did...

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Someone fell from the cabinet onto the judge, black feathers scattered everywhere.

"OH OH OH! THAT'S THE BOY FROM EARLIER!" Margarita exclaimed while pointing at the strange winged boy. "THAT'S THE BOY FROM EARLIER!"

"Who are you!?" Allen said the the strange boy. He straitened himself as he got up, standing on Gallerian's back.

"Oh how rude of me, Irregular." He flew next to Margarita, "I am the Emperor of the Kingdom of Yingmu, a nation hidden away from the outside world in another realm, made from the ruins of a forgotten country."

"Wait, what country?"

"I can't say but I'll give you a hint: it's known for having the great wall of what?"

"Enough." Sateriasis interrupted, "How did you get in first of all?"

"I came in through the door like everyone else."

"That's not what I have in mind."

"What answer do you want then?"

"Ugh! Forget it!" He starts rubbing his eyes in irritation. "I just woke up so let me process it."

"Hey hey don't get mad, I won't be a bother, I'm just finding a place to stay for a few days or so."

Allen cleared his throat. "Well the thing is Mr..."

"Oh yeah I forgot, The name's Jun." He said as he flew upside down.

"Jun, right, well Jun, this box is highly classified, except to demons, and gods."

"I'm half-demon, half-human, and a quarter angel."

"I mean demons we've KNOWN...for a very long time, plus we don't have any beds for you to sleep in."

"I can use the Attic if you guys got that."

"Well we do bu-" but Allen was cut off.

"OOOOH goodie goodie goodie!" he flies off into the attic, leaving behind a trail of black feathers, there was an awkward silence among themselves, Riliane was able to break it by asking: "...What the heck just happened?"

"Owwwwww, I think he busted my back." Gallerian groaned, Nemesis stood up from her seat, stepped on his back with one foot and pulled on his arms, "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!" His back cracks, "Oh! Thank you."

"No problem, Dad."

~After Breakfast, in the Attic~

Jun was redecorating the Attic in incredible speed, putting the boxes aside while used the fabrics Kayo uses to make blankets, curtains, and sheets out of them, Allen just stood there in awe as the half-demon turns the attic into a bedroom.

"Um, Jun, I have to ask, is there any particular reason why you choose to come here?" Allen asked.

"Because, I wanted to meet you guys."

"Meet us?"

"Yeah! I heard many things about you seven, I want to see if you guys are the real deal!" He said with a smile as he floated down to his bed. "Now let's see, your Allen Avadonia right? the one they call: "The Servant of Evil?"

"Yes, though I'm not evil."

"Your sister is the Prideful one, Princess Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche."

"That's me!" Riliane said in pride.

"The one in red is Gluttony, The Gourmet Noble Banica Conchita."

"You got that right." Banica said while eating a muffin.

"The Envious one is a Tailor named Sudou Kayo." He pointed at her, she only nodded. "Duke Sateriasis Venomania is Lust, no?"

"You be correct boy."

"That man is Greed, Judge Gallerian Marlon."

"Yes." Gallerian Sneered with a smirk, but cringed due to his hangover.

Jun then took Margarita by her hand. "This lovely lady here is the one representing Sloth, Marchioness Margarita Blankenheim." Margarita blushed as a result of that comment. "And the last one, Wrath...is Nemesis Sudou, your the green headed devil who blew up the ground world." Gallerian started cackling at the response before Nemesis threatened to punch him.

"Nemesis! Nemesis! relax!" Allen said to the angered woman before they left. "That's good that you know who we are Jun, but that doesn't excuse you living here, it's private property." Just then Jun flew to the boy's spot.

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?" He was making puppy eyes.

"No, now beat it!" Nemesis sneered.

"Nemesis! Don't be rude!"

"What? He's just going be an annoyance." The words coming out of Nemesis's mouth hits the half-demon, he flew to the corner of the room in a depressed matter, and sits on the floor.

"Now you done it." Allen scolded Nemesis before going to where Jun is. "I'm sorry Jun, she didn't really mean it."

"Oh she means it alright."

"Oh no no that's not true!"

"Don't try to butter me up, Servant of Evil."

"I'm not! Look, to make you feel better: you can stay with us for one day to learn more about us and that's it." The announcement caused the half-demon to beam up.

"Reaaaaaaaaally?"

"Yes." Jun then hugs Allen. "Ack!"

"Ooooooooooh thank you thank you thank you AHHHHH!"

"Y-your ch-choking me!" Allen choked.

"Sorry." He lets go.

"That's nice...Yaaaawn." Gallerian yawns. "But I'm a little too tired to deal with it, and my head is still hurting, I'm gonna take some medicine and lay down for a little bit more." He left the attic to do so.

"Very well, but there will be no afternoon naps after that!" Allen responds.

~Outside the house~

Riliane, now dressed in her trademark Yellow and Orange dress dragged out a giant net to the lawn and began setting it up, She then ran to a small basket with sports equipment and grabbed out four rackets and a birdie.

"BADMINTON PEASANTS!"

"Don't yell, and don't call us peasants, I'm a Duke." Sateriasis said, walking out wearing his suit.

"Is Badminton a dish?" Banica asked.

"NO! It's a sport that originated in Marlon." Riliane started. "It requires two or four players to play, the thing is that you can't leave the arena during game-play and you can't hit the net, the only way to gain a point is to hit this "Birdie" here to the ground but it has to hit the opposing team's side not yours, the team that gets 21 points first before the other team will be labeled the winner of the game."

"You played it before?" Kayo asked while tailoring the table cloth.

"Yes, with Kyle whenever he visits the Palace, he brought the game to Lucifenia and it became popular among the nobles and later the peasantry." She took one racket and a Birdie. "Me and Allen sometimes play it together, despite what my ministers say about servants playing with nobles so HA!"

"Hm hm hm, I see many people in the Hellish Yard playing it before me." Sateriasis chuckled in pride.

"One on one, duke?"

"You bet your oranges, woman."

"WAIT! It should be a double!" A new voice called, it was the Hybrid, Jun.

"You're playing to?" Riliane asked.

"Yes, I want to play as well."

"If that we're the case, then Saterisis will need a partner, two on one simply won't do."

"I'll do it." Nemesis said, "But if you so much as touch me inappropriately in the arena i'll cut your "friend" off and feed it to Banica!" She snaps at Sateriasis as she grabbed a racket.

"U-u-u-uderstandible." Sateriasis stuttered.

"Let the games begin!" Riliane proclaimed as she took the first swing.

"HA!" Sateriasis hit the birdie.

"You must be joking." Riliane mocks as she hits it back but this time to Nemesis.

"Look out!" Nemesis hits it to Jun.

"HYAA!" Jun hits to the otherside, it hits the ground.

"POINT ONE FOR RILIANE'S TEAM!" Margarita called out, Riliane gave a smug look to the Duke, Sateriasis glared at the girl.

"Round two, pervert! Get your head in the game!" Nemesis said, Jun did his first hit, they hit each other back and fourth, during that time Kayo looked at Margarita, seeing that she's watching the hybrid.

"Interested in Jun?" Kayo asked.

"He's entertaining yes."

"You have a crush?" Banica asked.

"EH!?" Margarita blushed.

"Hehehehehehehehe! I was only kidding!" Banica giggled, receiving a Raspberry from the Doll.

"Don't tease!" Allen said, coming out with the lemonade. "Besides they just met."

"There's a thing called love at first sight, you little hypocrite. I heard tale of you having googly eyes on Micheala before, right?"

"Sh-shut up!" Allen blushes.

"HEADS UP!" Jun called out as the birdie flew at them, Banica caught the birdie with her mouth and ate it.

"YOU BITCH! THAT WAS OUR BIRDIE!" Nemesis screamed.

"Nemesis! Nemesis! Calm down." Kayo said, she found one right next to her. "See look, you got a new one!" She threw it to her.

"Thank you."

"We got a point, Princess." Sateriasis mocked. "Lets see you try topping it."

"Maybe I will Playboy." Riliane snide, Nemesis did her pitch.

"HAAAAAAAAAAH." Allen puffed tiredly.

"Tired?" Kayo asked.

"Yeah, of this nonsense."

Later enough, the three players are now exhausted, save for Jun who is still active.

"What's the final score?" Jun asked, he summoned a chocolate bar and ate it.

"Uuuuuuuhh, how did you-" Allen asked before being cut off.

"What, this chocolate bar?"

"Yes, how did you summon it?"

"Magic...want one?"

"No thanks."

"...Anyways what's the final score? Nom."

"Your team 21 points!" Margarita said.

"YES!" Riliane cheered, she shook her rear at the losing team. "In your face, Duke!"

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr." Sateriasis growled, he was on the ground, now covered in dirt.

"Riliane! Don't antagonized him! No matter how pompous he is!" Allen called.

"I outta kick your posterior boy, but I'm too tired and filthy to deal with you." Sateriasis got up and dusted the dirt off his pants, "I'll be taking a warm shower, stay in touch peasants."

"PEASANT!?" Riliane gawked irritably. "I'M NO PEASANT, YOU PERVERTED STREET RAT!" Sateriasis smirks as he walks away.

"Forget it Riliane, he's only getting a rise out of you."

"Ugh, I think I busted an ankle." Nemesis said as she rubbed her right ankle.

"That's why people should't run in high heels."

"Don't worry, I know a way to heel it." Jun said, "Bring her inside."

~Inside~

Jun grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and began shaking it, he walked over to Nemesis and began pouring some water on her ankle, his hand glowed and started brushing his fingers on her ankle. "Try standing up." Said the hybrid, Nemesis stood from her chair and no pain was shooting up.

"I'm ankle's better!" She exclaimed.

"I normally use that for emergencies but this I'll let that slide."

"Hey! It's my toys!" Riliane said as she dragged her gold encrusted chest.

"Well yeah, I brought it over during last night's "debacle" so I thought why not." Allen said shrugging.

"What "debacle"?" Jun asked.

"It's a long story." Kayo said.

"Hm, speaking of history, I got something to show you guys, but we're gonna wait until Sateriasis is out and Gallerian is awake."

"Awwwwww." Riliane pouted.

"Here, play with this doll." Allen said throwing a doll to her.

~A half-hour later, in the hallway~

Sateriasis came out of the bathroom, drying his luscious purple hair with a towel as he walked to the bedroom wearing nothing but a bathrobe, he saw Gallerian putting on his suit and Judge's cloak, he seemed to have gotten better after that extra sleep and medication.

"Oh your awake finally, sleeping beauty!" Sateriasis joked as he finds his clothes in the drawers. "HAAAAH, I needed this, Riliane is working on my nerves during badminton."

"Heh, I know, I can hear you two in my sleep."

"My apologizes, though I find it quite odd, Judge."

"What's odd?" Gallerian asked as he begins to brush his messy hair smooth with a brush.

"We have a Human/Demon/Angel hybrid living with us, I find the boy slightly odd."

"So? You have a "horse" in your Harem." That surprised the Duke when he heard what Gallerian said.

"That dumb rumor was only used to demonize me further and you know it!" he exclaimed in irritation, he seemed to be disgusted by the rumor regarding "Josephine Francois" spoken by many people of modern day standards.

"Pfft, yeah right, though you are right about this Jun person, he wants to learn about us but he looked like he had more of a motive in mind than he let on."

"Indeed, though the Five hundred year-old virgin said he's only staying for one day so that won't be trouble some." He buttons his lavender colored vest before tying his white neck tie.

"Is that right? I remember Allen saying something about it."

"Afraid so, your honor." He puts on his Purple coat.

"That's just lovely." He snorted as he gave the brush to Sateriasis.

"I just hope he doesn't eat me alive." The duke laughed as he brushed his hair.

"Oh but I don't do that." They froze when they heard another voice in the room, It was Jun himself, he seemed to be smiling innocently until he got close to the two full grown men. "Besides, I was planning on doing something else with one of you two...maybe both of you."

"Oh? And what's that?" Sateriasis asked, trying to keep calm.

"Nothing special, just something that your best at, Duke." He finished with a menacing grin on his face, the both finally understood what he wants.

~In the living room~

Riliane was playing with the toys she had owned from her time as Ruler. "These toys look well crafted, Riliane." Kayo said while holding a doll wearing a Rococo era dress.

"Well I get bored with them once I got my hands on them." Riliane snorted.

"You're so spoiled, Riliane." Banica said.

"You're spoiled."

"Yes! With dishes I found and brought back to Beelzenia during the famine, I saved my own country."

"Yeah before you turn into a raging cannibalistic necromancer."

"I can eat both your hands any second now if I had the chance."

"Shut up you guys!" Nemesis yelled. "I can't read properly with you two bickering." she groaned as she's holding a book, it was entitled: "The Frog's and My Love Romance" By: Yukina Freezis.

"Then take it to the other room woman." Riliane said. Only to receive a raspberry from Nemesis.

"Come on you two!" Kayo said as she tailors a kimono. "Don't fight."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

The girls became startled by the sudden screams, by the sound of it, they sounded like two full-grown men, they saw them running down the stairs and hid behind Nemesis.

"What the hell happened?" Allen asked, just then Jun came down, he was shirtless and holding a katana and aiming it at Nemesis near her heart.

"EEP!"

"That demon was gonna make us his bitches like Sateriasis!" Gallerian squirmed in fear.

"No I wasn't, I was gonna hit you with a sword like Sateriasis because he had the Venom Sword."

"Oh?" Sateriasis perked up. "Soooo...your not gonna put is in your harem?"

"No, just punish you two...But the harem part sounds exciting." He began undoing his belt and the men cowered more.

"NO! NO NO NO!" Allen exclaimed as he stepped in front of the Hybrid. "Not in front of the women and minors, Jun!"

"Awwwwwww." Banica sighed as she put down Margarita's camera.

"Aww come on I was just getting started."

"Sorry, but that's just inappropriate, especially since we have a young girl here." He points at Riliane. "Anyways whatever they said to you I'm sure I can make them Apologize."

"It's fine, besides I came to them before I overheard them to show you all something that you guys might like!"

"Like what?"

"Your gonna find out right now." Jun put his shirt back on and took a few steps back and spread his wings, he held out his hands as they began to glow. He starts spinning around at high speed as a white light begins to consume him, the Sinners shielded their eyes as the light turned brighter and brighter until the entire room is consumed.

Warrior’s Blood chapter 3

Chapter 3

“What?!” the four of them cried out at once.

“Yeah, you did really good and brought in a good crowd.” the owner stated, giving the kids envelopes with about $3,000 each. Kane and Ellie looked at the envelopes and started to cry.

“Go raibh maith agat.” Ellie whispered.

“Deirfiúr.” Kane softly said into his sister’s ear. Ellie slumps into Kane’s arms as she cries tears of joy. Marco and Star look at the brother-sister duo with a smile on their faces. Star leaned down and gave Ellie a hug, Ellie returns the favor with a huge bear hug. Marco pats Kane on the back before giving me a small hug. Kane looks at everyone and then gets up, he helps Ellie to her feet.

“Let’s go celebrate.” Kane said, nodding in the general direction of where Marco’s house would be. The rest of them nodded while the bar owner helped them to the door. They reached Marco’s house at around midnight. The concert went on from 10-11, mostly because of breaks and extra instrumentals.

They reached home after two hours of walking. Marco opened the door to see Janna just standing there with her arms crossed.

“Uuuum, Janna what are you doing here?” Marco asked.

“I was waiting for you guys to get home so you could tell me about the concert from your perspective.” Marco looked back at Star, she shrugged her shoulders.

“Ok, let’s go sit on the couch then.” Marco replied. Kane and Ellie looked at each other before entering the house.

After about an hour of storytelling, Janna told them why she wanted to hear about the concert.

“I was there, but I wanted to know how it felt being up on stage.” Janna said.

“No harm in asking.” Kane sleepily replied. Kane started to doze off while everyone else talked about the concert. Kane’s nap didn’t last long though, a strange monster appeared out of nowhere and started to attack.

“KANE WAKE UP, NOW!” Ellie ordered.

“What the-” Kane replied. The monster was lead outside by Star and Marco. No one had gotten a good look at it, it seemed to be about 7’ tall and was wearing a strange black cloak. The monster was able to dodge Star’s attacks and counter all of Marco’s. Kane and Ellie looked on as they tried to think of what to do.

“I’ve got it!” Ellie shouted. She ran into the house and came back after a short wait. She was holding Kane’s guitar in one hand and her’s in the other. Kane’s eyes lit up and he took his guitar.

“I know what you mean now deirfiúr.” Kane said. Janna looked at the guitars up close. She really loved their designs, not intimidating but can definitely look awesome. Kane started to pluck at the strings and skeletons slowly rose from the ground. Ellie was picking at her strings, playing the riff from Through the Fire and Flames by Dragon Force. Ellie’s guitar started to shoot out flames, almost as if it were a flame thrower. The monster stopped in his tracks, he looked in the direction of Kane and Ellie. A smirk appeared on his face.

“Yes, you are showing your true powers.” the monster said. He took off his cloak to reveal that he was buff but almost looked like he was decaying. His head was still surrounded by a hood, but now his evil eyes and huge smirk were visible. Kane and Ellie smirked at what the monster looked like.

Disturbed’s mascot, guess we get to meet the guy. Kane and Ellie thought simultaneously. The monster pulled a guitar from his cloak, it looked strange. The guitar looked like a Gibson GB, the guitar was made to look like a gravestone. It had strange bits of metal poking out, making it look like a thing Dr. Frankenstein would use.

“Let’s get this battle to going!” the monster yelled. Kane and Ellie looked at each other before looking back at him. He was grinning that evil looking grin.

“Let us choose the song though.” Kane confidently requested.

“Fine.” the monster replied. Kane thought long and hard, going through every song he knew.

“I’ve got it!” Ellie said.

“What is it?” the monster asked.

“Wrong Side of Heaven by 5FDP.” Ellie replied. The monster’s eyes lit up, he started to play his guitar and then a little creature crawled up from the ground. It was a child! It had barbed wire wrapped around it’s head with a big piece of metal stuck in it’s chest. He pulled out a small bass, it was a Dean XM model. The guitar was wrapped in bloodied barbed wire, just like the boy.

“You can start the show.” the monster stated.

“Fine.” Kane and Ellie replied in unison. The monster pointed at Star, she was oblivious to what he meant.

“Star, I think he knows you can play the drums.” Marco informed.

“Ooooh.” Star replied. She made a drum set with her wand.

“Can I have the music to it so I can play?” Star asked. The monster gave Star the music without any sound. Star took the paper and looked at it, she memorised it on the spot. Marco and Janna took cover behind Star in case anything gets too wild.

Kane and Ellie played the opening riff to begin the battle. Star joined in with the drums.

“I spoke to God today and she said that she's ashamed

What have I become.

What have I done

I spoke to the devil today and he swears he's not to blame

And I understood 'cause I feel the same!” Kane and Ellie sang in perfect unison. The two monsters joined in on the guitar.

“Arms wide open

I stand alone

I'm no hero and I'm not made of stone

Right or wrong

I can hardly tell

I'm on the wrong side of heaven and the righteous side of hell

The wrong side of heaven and the righteous side,

The righteous side of hell!” The four of them sang together, none of them giving an inch with their singing. “I heard from God today and she sounded just like me

What have I done and who have I become

I saw the devil today and he looked a lot like me

I looked away, I turned away.” the two monsters sang. It was Kane and Ellie’s turn to jump in with their guitars.

“I heard from God today and she sounded just like me

What have I done and who have I become

I saw the devil today and he looked a lot like me

I looked away, I turned away!” the four sang in unison. During the solo each team used their guitar’s abilities. The big monster used his guitar to make an army while Kane did the same. The army of monsters fought against the legion of skeletons. Ellie shot fire out of her guitar while the little monster shot barbed wire out at her. Kane’s forces were coming at the monsters too fast. The number of Skeletons greatly outweighed the number monsters. Ellie and the little monster struggled against each other, they both had great abilities. Ellie eventually got the little monster tired, allowing her to defeat him. Kane and Ellie ended the solo, starting into the finale of the song.

“I'm not defending

Downward descending

Falling further and further away

Getting closer every day

I'm getting closer every day

To the end, to the end, the end of the end

I'm getting closer every day

Arms wide open

I stand alone

I'm no hero

And I'm not made of stone

Right or wrong

I can hardly tell

I'm on the wrong side of heaven and the righteous side of hell

I'm on the wrong side of heaven and the righteous side of hell

The wrong side of heaven and the righteous side,

Righteous side of hell!” Kane and Ellie finished the song. Both monsters laid on the ground with huge grins on their faces. Star jumped from her drum set with Marco and Janna on her tail.

“You guys did it!” Star yelled, she hugged Kane. Star’s fingers did not find any skin, only bone. She looked up to see Kane’s figure had changed completely.

“Y-y-y-you’re a skeleton!” Star shouted, informing the others of Kane’s new form. Kane had changed into a full on skeleton with a bone crown and bone wings. Janna looked at Ellie to see if something had happened to her, and indeed something had! Ellie had turned into a demon. Two horns protruded from her head while two wings had grown onto her back. Ellie’s skin was red, unlike Tom’s greyish color.

“You both look really cool.” Janna stated. The monsters got up and started to laugh.

“We’re sorry about intruding like that.” the big monster apologised.

“My nickname is ‘guy’ well it’s the only name I know.” the “Guy” informed them.

“So why did you attack us?” Kane asked.

“I need help with a pretty big problem.” the “Guy” replied.

All rights go to Five Finger Death Punch for the song. The idea for Guy came from Disturbed’s mascot. His guitar power also came to me from a Disturbed album cover. The lost children. All rights to Disturbed.

The Waffle Cottage Chronicles

IN WHICH, in a Modern AU, Sasuke successfully convinces Shingen (and by extension, Saizo and Yukimura) to take a cross-country roadtrip to the Mouse World amusement park, because he has never been and has always wanted to, and they stop at a 24 hour diner for waffles, whereupon they acquire a short order cook/waitress, you. SHENANIGANS ENSUE, with additional cameos by ALL the other Samurai as appropriate. 

 This is the fic that Refused To Be Written. I started on it like a legitimate year ago, and the device I was writing on got stolen while I was at the doc's, and so it just stalled out, but the idea wouldn't leave, so at some point I tried to do an outline…and it grew, and grew, and grew. And here we are. This is not a fic, this is a 5000+ word headcanon in bullet point form.  Someday I may actually write it out. That day is not today.

SASUKE STARTS THINGS OFF (but it's Yukimura's fault, probably):

It’s modern day Japan

Sasuke has been begging and begging and BEGGING to go to Mouse World just once pleeeease

Asks corporate maverick Shingen to give his foster dad time off to take him

Okay but Shingen literally owns the rival amusement park so this is legit straight up corporate espionage but hey Sasuke is one of his so it needs to happen

So he tells Saizo to do it

Saizo is like uuuum yeah, but no, I’d really rather not, thanks? That is literally on the exact possible opposite corner of this country and I need to like, take a nap on the roof or something, soooo I’m booked

But then there’s Yukimura with his eyes all BRIGHT and SHINY and SPARKLING because omg MOUSE WORLD?!

So Saizo sighs, with a profound sense of foreboding and already-forming regret, but at least Shingen is paying for everything, so whatever, he loads up the car with snacks and off they go

Shingen comes too because he is like a cool uncle like that

Also yes he pays for everything

Saizo is not sure it’s worth it

I swear Yukimura if you start singing 99 bottles of sake on the wall ONE. MORE. TIME.

Saizo regrets everything

Babysitting Sasuke is fine but Yukimura AND Shingen too?

Yeah he’s over it by kilometer like, three

They finish all the snacks because of course they do

So they stop at a 24-hour breakfast diner at like half-past midnight

 THE WAFFLE COTTAGE

Inuchiyo is assistant manager of night shift

And we are almost out of hashbrowns, so VERY RELUCTANTLY he leaves the manager, our HEROINE, YOU, after asking like a thousand times are you SURE you will be okay if I leave to get hashbrowns, the drunks will come wandering inside in like an hour

Yeah yeah yeah Inuchiyo, you can handle it, you’ve been helping your dad run the place since you were practically born, which he KNOWS, you will be fine you can handle this

You are a strong independent woman THIS IS IMPORTANT

And anyway yeah, it’ll be fine, it’s a quiet weekday night like what’s really going to happen, the only bad thing would be if you DO run out of hashbrowns before the drunks roll in and you can't make your dad's famous Absolute Vic-tater-y Breakfast Bowl

Don't judge me for that please

Anyway here comes in this adorable family unit right as Inuchiyo leaves and he immediately DOES NOT LIKE THEM but hashbrowns call

Literally the most attractive group of men to ever walk in your diner? But that is secondary to the fact they are excited about breakfast for dinner and that's just adorable and also who doesn't love brinner you do not trust people who don't like brinner everyone loves brinner

They order your dad’s famous Absolute Vic-tater-y Breakfast Bowls and also ALL of the waffles I know that’s not really a thing in Japan but HUSH

Oh my gosh they eat so much

All of the eating

All of the cooking

You are not so secretly loving it though because you love feeding people okay and they look SO HAPPY, even Saizo

Plus it’s an open grill so you can talk to them

Sasuke wants to try making Mouse-Ear pancakes because they are going to MOUSE WORLD and you’re like sure okay come on back but be super careful

Shingen and Yukimura want to do it also

And Saizo gets IDEAS

Because if YOU babysit them, HE doesn’t have to

THE PLAN

So Saizo orders hashbrowns

Saizo knows perfectly well that you already gave them your last order of hashbrowns, because he saw you doing the mental math on it when they ordered the first round of bowls

And it’s the easiest thing in the world. No hashbrowns? Oh, but we really, reeeeally want some hashbrowns. Hey here’s an idea, come with us to find hashbrowns!

And of course Sasuke and Yukimura adore you already and they’re excited about everything so they chime in with YEAH!

And Shingen just laughs his low wonderful belly laugh and if your shivers contribute to you sort of numbly, automatically agreeing who can blame you

And the next thing you know, you’re in the car with them and like several kilometers down the road, still in your Waffle Cottage uniform before you realize this is really not normal

Also, you 100% forget to leave a message for Inuchiyo but don’t realize this

And also also Sasuke has fallen asleep with his head on your arm and your heart just melts

So okay, why not have an adventure

You do kind of wish maybe Yukimura would pick a different song to sing over and over again?

But before you can recommend one you fall asleep too

TRUSTING SOUL THAT YOU ARE

Don't get in strangers cars, kids

But this is fiction

SO WE CONTINUE

THE REST STOP

Next thing you know you’re pulled over at a rest stop (all that coffee they drank with breakfast after midnight)

Um wait a minute where did Saizo go

Where did the car go

Oh my god he LEFT YOU ALL HERE

Yukimura is devastated

And then he’s PISSED well Yukimura pissed which is more like LOUDLY DISAPPOINTED and he's hollering at the road like SAIZO GET BACK HERE

Wait but isn't Saizo Sasuke's dad oh god this poor kid

You are like, ready to adopt this child as your own and console Yukimura because you’re pretty sure he and Saizo are (were?) an item or at least coparents

Sasuke isn’t worried—“Sensei does that sometimes”

Okay but is he coming back (and should you call CPS?)

No, no he is not

It’s like 3:00 AM

You suddenly realize you don’t have your phone and oh man Inuchiyo is probably going crazy

But like hopefully he got the extra hashbrowns?

Not totally thinking things through you approach a random driver (license plate says ANGRYNPC3) to ask about borrowing their phone

And keep in mind this is a rest stop, at an ungodly hour in the morning of course they totally misinterpret what you’re asking for oh shit

And Yukimura is there, suddenly, pulling you back and shoving that door closed with a growly 'back off' and hot DAMN, son you’d kind of written him off as this sweet puppy dog but those muscles woah

Super sweet and worried, like, are you okay and omg I just realized how terrible we are for dragging an innocent girl out at all hours, he’ll get you home, YUKIMURA GENJIROU SANADA SWEARS IT TO YOU 

This is all very sweet and passionate and all but Shingen is like, hey guys, I  got us a ride, sooo let’s move out troops

THE TRUCK DRIVER

Driver is a beautiful man with blonde hair and blue eyes and you’re like, this is not who I would picture driving an 18 wheeler?

You may or may not let that slip out loud and he just SPARKLES AT YOU “But isn’t the hum of the engine just so delightful? Like a tiger purring.”

There’s a sideways glance between him and Shingen and you SUSPECT and WONDER like how did Shingen get y'all this ride anyway but oh god it’s like 3:30 AM you’re too tired to carry that thought to completion

Agreed that you will take turns riding up front with Sasuke and the driver

(Sasuke fits in the middle seat HELLO IT’S AN EIGHTEEN WHEELER he wants to honk the horn)

This is the same reason why Yukkin is first to ride up front

IN THE BACK

Except oh wait this means you are alone in the back with Shingen omg yes there is TENSION in the AIR

Okay also this is a super bumpy ride, is Kenshin actually licensed for this?

Ahahaha nervous conversation on your part like, hey, so, you seemed to know our driver well?

Yeah we help eachother out sometimes--who is this man and what does he do you wonder you do--but I’m much more interested in getting to know you?

Okay lord help you because of course you’d hit a pothole right then and there are no seatbelts back here so you go sprawling into him, practically in his lap and he's like PERFECTLY STEADY OF COURSE and just catches you

So here you are straddling a strange man at 3:30 AM in the back of a semi truck

And sweet lord his warm hands slide up your arms to play with the straps of your apron, and a purr of "Want to get to know me better too?"

Hot damn oh shit

There is maybe a brief part of you that legit considers it BUT

Like not that he isn't fine as hell but--

He is straight up teasing you, turns out. 

Pats your head gently, finishes retrying the apron that was falling off

That way precious smile 

Basically he knows you are Not Ready for that and also not the kind of person who is into Doing Things in the back of an eighteen wheeler with a stranger you met three hours ago

Which is REALLY TOO BAD

(And you MIGHT have been that kind of person honestly there was a part of you...)

But 

You're gonna behave and so is he and he actually DOES tell you about himself just leaves out the "one of Japan's topmost tycoons" part

And it's hella interesting

You talk legacy and what it means to do with your lives and force of will

And next thing you know it's already time to switch who rides up front and time just goes by so fast

IN THE FRONT SEAT

Okay so you've established that Kenshin and Shingen know each other but Shingen sort of evaded how

So you try Kenshin because he seems super sweet and easy to talk to, right?

Yeah no he evades you too and he does it with SUCH A PRETTY SMILE you can't find the heart to correct him

Sasuke is asleep

Probably because by now it's like 5:30 in the morning?

Kenshin is the most sentimental truck driver you've ever met like he wistfully provides backstories for  every overhead light missing a bulb

And that's lovely and all but it is ALSO TERRIFYING

Like please Kenshin please keep your eyes on the road I know the stars are pretty but the roa--Yeah you definitely just ran over a traffic cone

Is he really a truck driver

Sure enough all of a sudden there are BLACK VANS forming in FORMATIONS around you

Like oh shit this is some FBI level shit

Kenshin just pouts

Um, maybe we should pull over and see what they want, that one guy is yelling at you from the window?

That is just Kanetsugu he is a SPOILSPORT

But he pulls over

And you are like, oh thank goodness

Except he grabs your hand

And pulls you over to the van Kanetsugu has just gotten out of

WAIT HOLY SHIT KENSHIN ARE YOU STEALING THIS VAN WAIT I CAN'T GO WITH YOU HELP, FUCK, AAAH

too late

You can see Yukimura looking super confused and Shingen frowning, but then he grins and waves as you LEAVE in a FUCKING STOLEN VAN

Well

This is your life now

THE KENSHIN INTERLUDE

Next thing you know you're at a high rise department store

Wait it's like 6 AM is this place even open

It is for Kenshin because surprise he owns it

SO WHY WAS HE DRIVING A TRUCK

Oh he told you that, he beams and reminds you, he liked the sound it made 

He also likes you and so he is dressing you up because you're just too cute to be wearing a greasy apron and uniform 

Oh my god so many outfits and they cost more than like, the entire mortgage of your diner

By now it's like 8 AM

But this one really is super cute and fun? 

Kenshin is telling the sales lady he will take all of them 

Excuse you WHAT

But you don't get to debate because Shingen has shown up again

He approves of outfit

He tells Kenshin to bill Takeda Corp for it and tosses you over his shoulder

Okay hey now wait a minute just hold on here

Except Kanetsugu is there now too, ripping Kenshin a new one

You feel a little bad but the elevator doors are already closing

Shingen you can put me down now?

He does not

Casually informs you he already bought the passes and Yukimura and Sasuke already went in and yup, sure enough you're like a block away from Mouse World

MOUSE WORLD (BEHIND THE SCENES)

Okay so you are actually super excited for this

You've never been to Mouse World but you just know it's going to be MAGICAL walking through those sparkling gates

But Shingen is leading you somewhere else?

But you thought he had passes?

Oh, he does, but why would you want to fight through all the crowds, he's charmed one of the actresses into letting you all in behind the scenes 

You are fascinated

Just like, just as wide eyed and full of wonder as if it had been the front gates because this is HOW the magic works

Actress notices this, and she is trying to look cool for Shingen so she coyly offers to let you try on her princess costume? 

I mean after all, the two of you have a super similar body type

LIKE YOU WOULD SAY NO?

So you wander off for like THIRTY SECONDS

There is a tiara and everything and you love your job you do but come on who doesn't want to be a Mouse Kingdom princess? 

There is something magic just…magic about putting on that tiara

You are not a tiara person but it is a Mouse Kingdom tiara and it is fucking magical

So you twirl in front of the mirror a few times

And then go to knock on the door where Shingen and actress were waiting for you

Except Shingen and the actress are clearly, er, occupied with one another

Actress manages to pause for breathe and is like, but I have to be back on stage in five minutes for the finale? 

And Shingen persuades her otherwise

You are not really sure of the particulars involved his technique of doing so you just know there are suddenly NOISES coming from the other side of that door and you just NOPE yourself back down the hall, thanks

There is a joke here somewhere about princesses getting a happy ending

SURPRISE, YOUR MAJESTY

"There you are doll, finale's about to start! Hey wait you're not Matsuko? OH WELL we need to go"

Omgomgomgomg

Shigezane--Super Green this sentai squadron show--is super supportive "Don't worry about being new, you don't have any more lines, just look pretty and in distress"

Okay you kind of have a feminist problem with that but now is not the time because oh shit you're on a platform stage

Shigezane grins and gives you a thumbs up "YOU GOT THIS DOLL"

SHOWTIME

Holy shit there's fire

Why

THE FUCK

IS THERE FIRE?!

The "supervillain" holding your princessey self captive is scary as ever loving hell too

Like he's pretty? And he has this boyish smile and messy blonde hair? 

But you aren't sure he's just acting?

Like when  he hisses in your ear Who the fuck are you and why are you here? All with this beautiful smile

Seriously are you going to die here?

This is Ieyasu if you haven't been paying attention

He clearly thinks this is stupid but doing it gets him points with the CEO so whatever he rolls with it

And if you fucking mess this show up he will end you

Okay but anyway Super Green gives you a thumbs up so apparently you are doing a good job looking like you are in distress

That isn't hard IEYASU IS FUCKING SCARY

but wait a minute, Super Red is taking his helmet off?

Oh my god it's Yukimura

You both stare at each other in shock 

(It occurs to you to wonder where the frick Sasuke is if Yukimura's on stage, but he's right there in the front row,  cheering his head off)

Seriously though WHY IS YUKIMURA ON STAGE IN COSTUME STARING AT YOU

Ieyasu is pissed

Goddamn rookies messing up the show, fine he'll fix it

YUKIMURA, SUPER RED, HERO OF LOVE, JUSTICE AND THE SANADA

Ieyasu does not fix it

Because he did not count on Yukimura taking the being a hero thing so GODDAMN SERIOUSLY

Like okay wait how DID that happen

Turns out some kid lost their balloon and Yukimura practically LEAPT A BUILDING to heroically retrieve it

And while he did that, he thought he saw Saizo by the dango cart, and started yelling about how Saizo had a duty and he abandoned it and did he have no honor

And everyone thought it was part of a show

And everyone wanted his autograph

And the CEO was walking by and was like, hot damn, You, You work for me now as Super Red who broke his leg or some shit (the CEO probably scared him and he tripped)

(the CEO is Nobunaga, you know this right? Okay)

(Worth noting Yukimura's hella loyal to Shingen, but somehow ended up in the red suit anyway and it was to fight for JUSTICE so how could he say no seriously how could Yukimura Genjirou Sanada NOT FIGHT FOR JUSTICE)

(Somewhere Saizo is rubbing his temples in dismay)

OKAY BUT ANYWAY

YUKIMURA, AS SUPER RED, IS GONNA RESCUE YOUR DAMSEL ASS

(You still have some feminist issues with this, but the damn poofy dress is hard to move in and you're still trying to not fuck up this show, for Ieyasu-the-super-villain-is-scary reasons)

ANYWAY

OFFICER, I SWEAR THIS ISN'T WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE okay maybe it is but it was an accident, honest

Yukimura's slightly overzealous efforts to RESCUE YOU sort of fluster you

And you trip over your dress

And knock over the scenery

The scenery that was ON FIRE if you remember, for effect

SO, WHOOPS.

Ieyasu is just like, fuck this, fuck you, fuck your cow, I'm out.

Shigezane is kind of like, laughing nervously but yeah Imma peace out too, good luck you two

There's a lovely passionate moment there where you're pinned under Yukimura watching the flames ficker in his eyes, transfixed,

Aand then fear for your IMPENDING, FIERY DEATH sort of ruins it

As does the police officer hauling him off of you

He is PISSED

He is also Mitsunari, so like, pissed is kind of his default?

He asks for your employee IDs and, hahaha, of course, you don't have any because you aren't employees

And now he is HELLA SUSPICIOUS

You look at Yukimura

Yukimura looks at you

AND YOU RUN LIKE HELL

But you almost lose him in the crowd because you are in a giant poofy princess dress

So he scoops you up, SUPER RED IS RESCUING THE PRINCESS, LOOK EVERYONE

MEANWHILE, SASUKE

Super excited about being unsupervised for like thirty seconds

And then Saizo's and comes down on his shoulder

Like yeah no, kid.

Where have you been, Sensei?

That is not important, look a dango cart, let's go get some

FUGITIVES

So you are running and gaining all kinds of attention

What time is it, like idk 11 AM maybe

You're kind of hungry but that's not the point right now you are RUNNING FOR YOUR LIFE

Or well, Yukimura is and you're kind of coming along

You may or may not have pretended to be animatronic participants on a ride

And accidentally ended up in the Haunted Stately Manor

And you screamed your head off when a prop jumped out at you so Mitsunari found you again

There was ferris wheel climbing and compartment jumping too

Anyway you run and run and it's finally getting quieter because you've made it to one of the corporate retreat areas WAY IN THE BACK of the park

By this time it's like one in the afternoon

Yukimura is like not even out of breath, but he tucks you in a conference room and promises he'll come back with some normal clothes for you okay?

You're just relieved to be somewhere quiet so okay

I SHOULD MENTION

Inuchiyo has straight up called in a Missing Persons report on you

You have no idea he's done this

You're dealing with other shit right now, okay?

THE RECLUSIVE EXECUTIVE

So you're sitting there, in a now-torn-dirty-less-poofy princess dress in a conference room in the back of an amusement park

And the tiara fell off and you just…it's been a long day (night?) and the tiara was beautiful, and it was just so nice to be a princess for thirty seconds and--

You're entitled to a few tears, you are, it's been a freaking whirlwind

So you indulge in some sniffles

And there's suddenly a handkerchief sort of awkwardly offered to you

OH SHIT

SOMEONE IS HERE

YOU YELP

HE DOES NOT YELP BUT HE JUMPS LIKE A FOOT

And looks at you in TERROR

This doesn't help your mood okay, you do not need to be reminded that an hour ago (or a few?) you were in a super cute outfit, and now you haven't washed your hair after manning the grill all night, you've been practically set on fire, and this pretty poofy dress is torn, and dirty, and singed, and you lost the most beautiful tiara in the world and set scenery on fire and UGH

He is still offering you the handkerchief

But like, from as FAR. AWAY. AS POSSIBLE.

This is Masamune of course

What the hell, you take it with thanks

You feel a little more human after wiping off your face

Why is he hiding here anyway?

He's really quiet for awhile but you just wait and he talks eventually

Turns out it's a corporate retreat for his small business, not his idea, but, his cousin works here and suggested it as a good way to help his team loosen up after achieving a big business deal with the CEO of Mouse World

And they are all eating lunch and he just thought it would be easier for them to relax and enjoy it if he…weren't there?

Oh god your heart

And wait a minute, you recognize his voice

He is a regular customer at your diner!

Oh!

Mutual recognition!

He, BLESS HIS DAMN HEART, does not even start to ask why you are dressed like an after-prom princess

Your stomach growls

His stomach growls

You ask if this conference building has a kitchen?

A LATE LUNCH

It does, because Mouse World Magic okay

Actually it's for catering aforementioned corporate retreats, but they're just finishing up

Hella lotsa sideye for showing up as a princess

Masamune GLARES AT EVERYONE

and suddenly no more side eye

So anyway you make him lunch

And he quietly asks his Executive Vice Prez, Kojuro, to get you a change of clothes maybe as thanks?

Kojuro is just like…I'll do this, but who is this person that has my boss super calmly eating lunch in a place where he is usually hella uncomfortable? I'm gonna come back to this.

Like that's the most important question for him, not why one of the princess actresses is using the corporate conference room kitchens

Because Kojuro KNOWS WHAT'S IMPORTANT

Anyway Masamune has to get back to his meeting, but Kojuro will be back soon so just hang tight and wait here

That reminds you of something?

OH SHIT, YUKIMURA 

MEANWHILE, SASUKE (pt 2)

Having the time of his life

Riding ALL OF THE RIDES

Saizo is sick of waiting in lines

Which means it's time to go bail Yukimura out and have him do it

So Yukimura, sure he has forgotten something, is now waiting in line with Sasuke to meet the Mouse World mascot

Where does Saizo go while they're doing this who knows probably to go eat dango

HANDCUFFS

Anyway you, being impulsive, go running out to find Yukimura

And because this is how these things work, you smack right into Mitsunari

AND LORD HE IS PISSED

Like if you thought he was pissed BEFORE

Okay but hang on a second, why is he dressed like one of the princesses?

Infiltration maybe?

NOT IMPORTANT

HE FLINGS OFF HIS GORGEOUS, STUNNING PRINCESS DRESS

AND NOW YOU'RE IN HANDCUFFS

Damnit

You're going to jail the rest of your life

You just know it

This is the end

Life is over

RIP your dad's diner

Inuchiyo can handle it

(…that reminds you of something?)

You're hauled off to the head of security.

PUBLIC RELATIONS

Head of security seems super nice

Like, his smile is all bright and cheery and you immediately feel at ease

He tells Mitsunari to run along

Mitsunari insists you are a DANGEROUS CRIMINAL and she can't be trusted alone with you, Hideyoshi

Hideyoshi is just like, smile, I think I can handle one distressing damsel honey so go on and find the other one now, please.

Mitsunari is grumpy about this

Mitsunari is always grumpy tho

The park's public relations officer is there too, he also seems nice but rather harried?

Mitsuhide, PR specialist EXTRAORDINAIRE

He's willing to make a deal with you

They know Shingen sent you, so, you share some information with them and they will let you go no charges like, you did steal a costume, burn their scenery down, put their guests at risk and ruin their show so that's actually super fair, right?

Speaking of, Mitsuhide has to go talk to the press about the burning castle from the live show

(No one was hurt btw)

(only casualty was your dress)

(Maybe Ieyasu's pride but it was already wounded from having to do the show in the first place)

(But still)

So he leaves, and asks you to please consider it

And Officer Hideyoshi is just like…okay, follow me please *smilesmile*

And the next thing you know he's leading you to the door out?

Like, wait you get to go free? 

ESCAPE

YOU DO

BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT

Nobu was watching the show

And thought it was fucking hilarious that the princess burned down the entire supervillain's castle like come on that's GOLD

AND then one of his business partners came and was talking about how awesome the cinder princess was, and this particular business partner never speaks at all, let alone positively about someone

Except he can't be seen as lenient

So while can't officially condone SHIT because it would look like mercy and he is not a man of mercy, Nobu did make some offhanded remarks to his head of security

And Hideyoshi is now interpreting them accordingly

And what's this?

SWEET

MOTHER

OF

PEARL

IT'S A GODDAMN HELICOPTER

LANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF GODDAMN MOUSE WORLD

BECAUSE OF FROGFUCKING COURSE IT IS

Saizo is not driving this time, thanks

Shingen would like to point out that the proper word is piloting and it's cool, he likes this particular toy, he'll drive it

Kansuke says that isn’t necessary sir, please sit back down.

And Yukimura is there to pull you in--and if you lose your glass slipper, and Hideyoshi picks it up to twirl it thoughtfully as he watches all of this, well, that's how these stories go

And Sasuke has mouse ears on and is snoring against Saizo's shoulder

By now it's like 5:30 PM

HASHBROWNS

Okay but wait HOLD UP SHINGEN if YOU HAD access to a multi person helicopter this whole time WHY THE HECK DID YOU DRIVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN AN 18-WHEELER WITHOUT SEATBELTS

You don't get an answer because whoops sorry can't hear you over the wind

Like maybe he forgot or something

He has a lot going on okay

BUSY BUSINESSMAN

ANYWAY

LOOK AT MOUSE WORLD DOWN BELOW

It really is beautiful

So you fly for awhile, and maybe you doze off because LONG. FUCKING. DAY.

Helicopter lands on a roof somewhere

Yukimura helps you get out and Sasuke is already bouncing towards the door like he has been here before and Shingen too

Sun is setting and your breath is just stolen, it's beautiful?

"Yes yes, it's lovely little lady, you can see it from inside"

So you are sort of shuffled inside and sure enough floor to ceiling class and THE. MOST. GORGEOUS. PINTEREST-WORTHY. KITCHEN. EVER.

And you realize

That laid out on the counter

At are all the ingredients

For HASHBROWNS

And you just totally lose it.

Absolute, hysterical giggle fits

Sasuke is worried about you, like, are you okay can you breathe?

Shingen isn't, come on Sasuke help me set the table and Yukimura run and get us some good sake to enjoy with this feast

And it's just you, laughing until your sides hurt in the most beautiful kitchen you've ever seen, and Saizo

Where did Kansuke go he was just there a moment ago, he is not now. 

And after a moment, Saizo produces your apron (which you’re sure you left in the department store), and ties the strings around your neck, over your princess dress, because you are one of them now 

Shingen has already plotted out your salary as corporate caterer and you can hear Sasuke in the other room talking about going up to a be an awesome cook just like you and Yukimura asking if one of Shingen's businesses is going to start serving breakfast

And you're just in love. You're in love with all of it, with the kitchen, with them, with the sheer insanity, and you've never been happier

Except

"By the way little lady, aren't we forgetting something?" you notice something in the pocket of your apron vibrating and it's your phone--wait didn't you not have that, how did Saizo…--and OH SHIT

SORRY INUCHIYO

YOU AREN'T dead or kidnapped please cancel the Missing Person alert

Was that you on TV being carried up the ferris wheel?

Whaaaat?

Oh heeeey sorry bad reception gotta go love you bro BYE

Saizo produces the tiara, and puts it on you

And the hashbrowns you make

In this beautiful kitchen

In a beautiful tiara

And a burnt and beat to hell stolen princess dress

Under an old, familiar apron

Are

A-

FUCKING-

MAZING
