(N): the inability to express your feelings.

𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞: Angst

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: Furina de Fontaine

𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞: On

𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞: One Shot

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐬: they/them

𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: Conflicted of the way she's supposed to feel, what path of loss should she take, how can she be like you? Tell her, Creator of Teyvat.

𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: Violence, Sagau AU themes, spoilers for Fontaine Archon quest storylines. This story is only a second branch linked to the Sagau Au that I'm working on and is not the main one, there will be a very huge difference compared to the one I'm working on.

It’s like you're underwater… the world quietly embraces you as you fell from the stars, did you remember anything as the sound of a loud splash occurs and attracts the unsuspecting creatures? How could you when you’re already too busy falling asleep at the bottom of a lake?

Ah… could the creator not hear the gentle song of joy that their creations are singing? The return of such a noble and loving soul to its children, this could only mean hope and prosperity towards the creatures who have always prayed for their return.

(Y/n), you who sank to the bottom of the lake unable to remember who you were before coming to this land, can you face them? Your creations who do not even remember your face, except for the guiding voice you’ve always been towards your vessels, resent you for leaving for so long.

The waters which surround your injured and sleeping figure brings you the tales and troubles of what happened while you were away, though you already know these tales haven’t you?

A blond traveler and their silver companion walked on the soil of Teyvat, they who claimed to have been your vessels, your apostles. Though their name brings hopes and joy to those who are “humans”, just the mere thought of them to any other creature stikes fear and terror to the heart of their beings.

“They’re approaching Fontaine soon…” You opened your eyes slowly finding yourself surrounded by fishes and curious creatures.

“It will be a while before they finish their involvement with Sumeru..” Should we get to know you a bit more? But then again you have no time to think for all that’s on your mind right now was finding a safe spot to hide before the blond traveler finds you.

“You’ll find a safe spot for me to hide right? I trust you all.” The water current gently pushes you away, you don’t know where in Fontaine are you right now, but you definitely aren’t close to the Fortress of Meropide.

The trail of red blood, your trail which bleeds life into Teyvat remains to be un-tampered. The waters of teyvat cannot heal you nor can anything else if anything, for a god’s creation cannot heal them. You can’t feel pain however since your body is as fragile as a human’s obviously you’d get hurt, as gentle as the skies tried when first delivering you into Teyvat it still could not be gentle enough and hurt you.

Truly you do not understand the connection between you and the land of Teyvat, because if you did then maybe you would have understood why, Teyvat no longer dreams of your return for so long…

Somewhere else…

Bored figure above the crowd, what are you looking for in the crowds of peasants and fools? She was a noble in every way yet so flawed and faulted, the perfect human, of course she cared about those voices who talked about her every move.

It’s the weight of the crown she’s wearing right? Isn’t she tired of pleasing them? The people who could stare at her in awe and contempt, doesn’t she ever feel like running away from her problems?

“Is it worth it?” The whispers in her head render her useless, relying on its encouragement to continue walking for the day.

“This isn’t how you’re supposed to smile, fix those corners” mental images began appearing, how many days has it been since she stood in front of this faulty mirror?

Perhaps she’s gonna break under all this pressure, but this eternal act must never fall, no matter what extend this stage forever as she continue to dance and play for their love, perhaps it wasn’t even their love she was looking for but the approval of a figure she doesn’t even know of.

‘I can’t hear anything, I don’t know anything’ she’s denying it again, denying the fact she knows what’s gonna happen next.

‘Oh Creator of all creatures, can you at least give me peace of mind as the years have gone by? I wish for oneday… where I have no need to be the ‘Hydro Archon’ no more’ However no matter how strong or sincere the wish is, even Furina knows that the Creator has long gone from Teyvat’s memories… because of that incident.

“Lady Furina there is something we think you’d like to see.” a cold and strange figure behind the door of her study snapping her away from her daydream, Furina coughed and returned to her ‘god’ demeanor.

“Very well then, enter.” A gentlemen in dark colored clothing, she remembered his father and the ones before him… ah, so it’s something related to the rising sea levels matter.

“Lady Furina, the matter is that…”

Oh? How interesting… a prophecy, long ago but not too long after the prophecy that the people of Fontaine shall dissolve into the sea and the Archon shall be left crying on her throne, a prophecy which had been mysteriously erased from the people’s memory.

A star bright enough to be mistaken for the sun shall fall in Teyvat’s embrace, carrying with it the remnants of the past and the answers to the future, when the waters rise and the creatures dance, the star shall leave and a trail of blood shall follow where it goes.

Furina remembered that prophecy long ago, the one prophecy which no longer seemed to be remembered by anyone else but her it seems, even Neuvillette does not understand of the said prophecy she talks about oh so often, eventually Furina kept this prophecy to herself and let the world seemingly forget of it’s existence all together.

However the news that this informant has brought her… this one truly is fulfilling the first part of the prophecy, a bright shinning light had been spotted across the night sky not too long ago, just like that same light 500 years ago. However not knowing whether this could mean sometime interesting or important Furina decided to dismiss the informant temporarily after getting information of the location where the star was said to have landed.

The water levels are rising faster after that star had landed, it might seemed like useless worry but Furina is afraid, the prophecy never truly mentioned what would become of the star and only the result of their appearance to Teyvat. Trails of blood… should she start looking into this dangerous matter?

“I don’t know what to do anymore… not only do I have to solve my prophecy now I am at risk with another one.” She stared at the floor tired and devastated, how does she compare between threats? The one that the people know of or the one that has been erased from Teyvat’s very memory?

Your mission... what plans did you have when you first arrived in Teyvat? You weren't sure however you did sense a sort of familiarity towards the land and it's creatures, you have yet to meet anyone else such as the "archons" or inhabitants of Teyvat.

"To take responsibility... but this was never your realm."

"It was still my mistake"

"You have until ?̴̨̩̘̗̪̯̅͆̽̆?̴͙̖̉͊̓̈͗̏͆̐̕͝?̷̹̞̻̫͚̝̭̮̫̏̒̑͂͗?̷̖̠̖͙͉̝̠̇ to solve it"

Ah, a flash of memory strikes you, your mind hurts as it tries to remember why and how you ended up here in the first place, it seemed you were the one who prevented yourself from remembering your purpose here.

Bandaging yourself up from the minor wounds you had from falling earlier you felt the water currents try to push and play around with your figure, though not a god, you certainly aren't some mortal being, something similar to a Demi-god or some sort.

"Enough with that, we have preparations we must do if we are ensuring the other region's safety." You had all the information you needed from the water, water carries the memories of all living beings, whether if it was drank, on the sidelines or even spilt, the water hears and memories it all.

Your plan was to make a barrier between Fontaine and the rest of the world, should the day ever come that the prophecy is filled nothing too drastic would happen if the water overflows and influences the rest of the world.

It's too late to try and stop the prophecy, not like you had a chance to stop it in the first place, however you did have a chance at preventing a bigger catastrophe and try to find a way to slow down the prophecy from happening.

Unfortunately for you, you didn't have enough materials to start making the barrier runes however that shouldn't be a problem if you could collect them in Fontaine. You can't expect all the ingredients for crafting to be in Teyvat seeing as some of them could be unique and a specialty for where you came from.

"We'll have to replace some ingredients but that's okay, whatever it is it shouldn't be too much of a problem." with the list in your hand your current goal was clear, ingredient hunting.

Why did you even come into Teyvat in the first place? If the memory and intensive headache wasn’t already evident you have no idea why, perhaps you previously did something stupid and as a result were punished to be confined to Teyvat and stay there until your memory comes back, but if that truly were the case then why wasn’t all of your memory erased?

Another one of your theories for this was you witnessing something so disgusting or weird that it shook you so much, you had no choice but to run away and erase that part of your memory, and if this was true then maybe that part of your memory is connected to Teyvat and this land. However ultimately you had a feeling it was also connected to your teacher… the person who was in that blocked memory, you don’t know what transpired between you and your teacher but it definitely wasn’t that good.

Oh well, it’s not good to get distracted from your original goal and forget why you’re even here, you do not have forever to live and will die just like any human, getting distracted is the last thing you want on your list.

You were lead to a village full creatures they called “Hillichurls”, you could feel remnants of curse on some of them though not all… however it’s not like you can break such a curse, if you don’t know the full story and origin of the curse breaking it could lead to more disastrous problems… like the last world.

The creatures were agitated upon seeing you however they didn’t seemed to be hostile and allowed you to calmly walk freely in the village.

“Let’s see… I might need these, a little bit of that, probably a handful of this.” You were collecting a material called ‘Star tears’, despite the poetic name it’s basically a type of star dust and for some reason had been infused with the belongings of “Hillichurls”.

“Hm? You want me to make a replacement for the things I’m taking?” The Hillichurls dance and spoke as you looked through their stuff, looks like you have to make them something in return for the things.

“Don’t worry I’m not taking your stuff just erasing some bad omens on it.” The glittery dust on your hand shimmers as you continue to collect them, oh boy, this was gonna take a while.

Furina was a bit shocked to see that the scene where the supposed star was supposed to be… turned out to be completely normal!! Nothing!! Not a single crater or dead plant, it’s as if it was all an illusion.

“H-How could this be?! Did that-?! Ughh…” she was frustrated at the fact she had been lied to, she couldn’t understand why but now that she’s here she might as well take a break and enjoy the scenery.

It’s quiet… it’s too calm and quiet, she’d expect slimes and hillichurls to be popping out right and left since it was normal for this region to have them spawning but… it’s as if they’ve disappeared into thin air.

But this was good right? Here, she could probably rest her mind and not get worried about being attacked, maybe she could cry her heart out now that she’s in the middle of nowhere. It’s comforting… as if the creator had heard her words from earlier and gave her an excuse to temporarily break from her duties and role as the “hydro archon”, it’s a wonderful feeling as she realized she could breath the first time in a long time.

Slowly lying down on the grass the world lured her to sleep, the gentle sea making waves, the soft winds blowing, and her feeling tired and broken, she’d fall and slowly slip away from reality.

“A nap wouldn’t hurt anyone… right?” An answer she would never receive, who knows how long she’ll stay asleep, but maybe long enough for someone to spot her.

You walked back to your hidden space with a bag full of star tears, the stuff was all over you including a hillichurl mask, very friendly creatures, you have no idea why they would be mercilessly killed though… maybe it was something different between your aura and others?

Teyvat’s ecosystem was very lively and diverse, more than the ones where you came from at least, compared to the rest of the worlds you’ve been through you could say it was… pretty mid, sure the scenery and landscape was nice and pretty but that was all. You couldn’t really find another reason to settle down or stay in Teyvat, not when your final goal was to travel and explore, despite having limited memory of your home plane and almost none of your life before this you still want to travel.

Stuffing the bag full of star tears inside your inventory you decided to call it a day and rest for now, the sun was already down by the time you stopped collecting star tears so for now you decided to spend that time to rest and collect your thoughts for the night.

“Oh?” light blue hair and noble like clothing, unique lashes, and an obviously sleep deprived look on her face, who was this girl sleeping in the middle of nowhere close to the place you were residing?

At first you wanted to pay no mind to her, yet after standing there for a while thinking of all the possible benefits you might get from her judging from her appearance, you decided to save her from her miserable fate of being in danger and princess carry her into the waters with you.

The young girl on your bed seemed like she was having a nightmare, tears spilt for her shut-closed eyes, she’s whimpering as if someone hurted her, she was in so much pain. It shouldn’t bother you, it doesn’t involve you, she doesn’t have anything to do with you, you drew a line between her and you, never intending to cross that line and help the crying girl.

It’s cold underwater, even when you’re in an drier and not as cold part of the waters, everything was still so cold, it’s not like you weren’t bothered by the sticky feeling of your clothes hanging tightly on to your frame but you just chose to simply not mind about it. But what about the girl? Sniffling and shivering with the lack of heat and freezing cold waters, ah, you really don’t want to get involved.

“Forgive me for my lack of decency,” you pulled her closer to you “ but I really don’t want to see someone dying from being cold.”

You feel like a pervert for crossing the line and holding a girl so close to you like this, considering there’s no flammable materials near you at the moment and if you left her alone to go find the materials something might happen. Boredly you traced her facial features, a beauty indeed for your standard but if anything you aren’t attracted to children who are below 400 years old, that was about how old you were at least, you don’t remember how old you truly were, but you’re definitely older than the average human.

“You’re… the perfect example of a human I’ve seen so far,” beautiful yet so tragically fragile, you wonder what lead the girl to have laid so defenselessly and tiredly so “you’re so interestingly weird with that curse on you.”

It’s cold… it felt so cold being asleep, why did she feel so lonely for some reason? It’s like she was underwater, it’s calm and serene yet so lonely and dark compared to the surface world, it’s simply too… suffocating for her.

“Furina… why did you abandon them?” she doesn’t understand why, who was telling her this? Where was she even in the first place, blinded by the dark and sadness of the warters. She who is being judged for all that she has done so far in the name of “hydro Archon”.

“Do you not hear their pleas?” it’s too much, make it stop… unconsciously trying to reach for her ears she try to block out the words and sounds that she hears, it’s too much, it’s al simply too much for some one like her to handle. “ You’re so heartless”

‘Creator, where are you?’ she silently pleas holding her body as if she was going to break any moment, the pain was too much for her to bare, how was she to move if the weight of her guilt was holding her down? ‘Let me hear your voice just once, even for a moment I want to have hope.’ but there was nothing there, nothing to catch her tears or listen to her pleas.

The darkness of her nightmares engulfing her slowly but surely, she was losing her mind having to dance and play someone else for so long, a never ending torture to her life. For a moment she felt at peace with the cold and suffocating darkness, and slowly it stopped scaring her, like an old friend she finally opened her arms to embrace it.

“Is this what you really wanted?” A voice she’s never heard before, yet a feeling of warmth and relief washes over her like a wave of sea on a summer day, who was this?

“How can I continue when I’m already at my limit?” she’s weak, oh so weak, how come the barriers that she put up seemingly start to crumble now?

“...Don’t ever stop or give up ever again,” she’s angry at those words, they’re just stupid meaningless encouragements others spew, so what if she continued? There’s no grand prize waiting for her at the end…

“What do you know about giving up or stopping?!” her bailed fist swung at the direction of the voice, yet it only hits a barrier between her and the voice, it’s so frustrating… “You don’t even know what I’ve been through, you stupid, incompetent, pathetic voice in my head!!”

She played the role of a god, and will always play according to the role of “Hydro Archon”, so then why in this part of her mind does she let go of that mask and become one with “Furina”? Why was she wavering and growing weak only now after so long on her throne and stage of endless night?

She’s frustrated, she’s angry, she’s confused and so so lost in her own mind, she doesn’t understand what she has to do anymore, the voice in front of her in this dream right now… she hates it. With her clench fist in frustration she starts hitting the invisible wall, letting out all the anger and frustration onto something that is the result of her own mind.

“You’d never understand, you’d never see,” the walls which slowly crumble with each hit, she’s still so lost in her emotions “yes I won’t stop or give up just yet, so listen to me!!”

With her last hit the invisible wall broke like glass making her fall into the deeper darkness in front of her, the weak yet beautiful human, you acknowledge her perseverance.

“I’ll listen to you,” gently you traced her tear stained face, her eyes still so full of life looking up at you in surprise “so wake up, Furina.”

Jolting out of her sleep, Furina breathed heavily trying to calm herself down, after a minute or so she began to look around and noticed that she was in one of the underwater ruins, the barrier between the ruin and the water was clear but that wasn’t what her attention was on right now, it was on the strange figure sitting close to the barrier seemingly playing around with strange gold-like dust.

“Y-You! Where am I and how did I end up here?” however the figure did not stop and continue to inspect the glitter, standing up the figure dump the whole bag of glitter onto the ground “Can’t you hear me?! You’re in the presence of a god, mind your manners and praise me will you?”

“...Patience is a virtue, dear god, and I’m performing a task.” Huffing her chest, Furina looks pissed, but in reality she’s curious on what they were doing.

You combined the vial of Primordial seawater together with star tears, nothing seemed to react out of the ordinary, for the ritual in making the barrier to work you have to also combined another element, which is in fact your blood, long story short as the person to form the barrier it is your duty to preform and replace the missing ingredients so to apply with the last missing material which is the blood of the elemental sovereign of water, you had to use your blood which qualifies for some elemental properties.

“So, how should I address you dear god?” The long silence as you both stared into each other’s eyes, it seems she’s slowly realizing who you were.

“You… you’re the voice in my dream.” An empty smile, Furina has seen a smile like this many times, she knows just by looking at those (e/c) with specks of light like stars however those specks of light quickly die out, your eyes are like a quiet and dead night sky. “Drop the act, how much do you know about me?”

You only stared back at her, not sure how to answer her, to be able to sneak into someone’s mind was one of your skills, it was an underhand trick taught by your mentor a long time ago on a mission. Normally you wouldn’t be able to get into her mind like right now when she’s awake and her mentality is strong, however, when the target is weak and defenseless and their mentality is at the worst state possible then you would have a chance to take a peak.

“Even without the ability to know as much as I do right now,” a pitiful look on your face, why do you look like you’re pitying her for no reason? “I already knew from the moment I touch you, you were no more than an ordinary human cursed for some reason.”

“What proof do you have for that accusation?! Don’t you know it’s a crime on Fontaine to accuse the Hydro Archon with no proof?!” This wasn’t the first time someone had accused her of being a fake god, but still she can’t let down the act just yet.

“You’re right, I have nothing to prove that you’re not a god yet, but deep down inside you knew, didn’t you?” temporarily throwing your cloak away you take out an old and rusty dagger, how long have you kept it in your coat? “Whether or not you answer me doesn’t matter, feel free to leave now that you’re feeling better.”

With one swift action, you stabbed your left arm and winced at the pain, Furina in horror starred as your blood shimmers like glitter in water, as if you were controlling your blood, the liquid combined with the dust was used like ink on a strange looking type of stone in your palm.

“Excuse me~” A blink of an eye and now you’re suddenly in front of her, she falls behind out of surprise however you caught her by her waist and let her lean against you, you both still ended up on the ground but at least it’s only you who’s in pain right now “Well that hurts…”

“...What are you doing?” you calmly dust yourself off and help her stand up, while also taking a few strands of her hair.

“Making a barrier rune! Though I don’t think you’d ever seen one like this before.” Breaking your calm and gentle demeanor, Furina was surprised to see this child-like attitude and look on you.

Your smile was beautiful, it’s strange for Fruina seeing as she’s never felt like this before, you had this sort of light glow on you when you both first met, even in her dream where she met you she was awestruck with how god-like you look in her dreams, if this was true then maybe the comet… you were the comet that fell from the night sky.

‘A star bright enough to be mistaken for the sun shall fall in Teyvat’s embrace, carrying with it the remnants of the past and the answers to the future, when the waters rise and the creatures dance, the star shall leave and a trail of blood shall follow where it goes.’

That’s the prophecy wasn’t it? However you don’t look nor feel like a hostile person nor someone searching for something they have lost but… more likely it then not you’re just here to explore and look at the land. You looked like a traveler solving riddles and finding something new right now but before that… you were like an ancient being who had seen everything.

“You know, Furina, I really love this world” You’re lying.

“I love the people and creatures I’ve seen living and laughing” You’re lying again.

“I love the beauty of this country you’re trying so hard to protect.” Please… you’re hurting her heart…

“I love your strength and everything you’re standing for right now.” Shut up…

Angry tears spilt out of her eyes as she pushes you into the wall, she doesn’t believe you at all, you’re a lying voice, you’re a god who lies, you’re the god… who left Teyvat for no reason at all!!

Pausing for a moment she looked into your confused yet curious eyes, how could she not recognize this carefree attitude and beautiful eyes? Despite your statues and paintings being long destroyed she still had runes and writings of your glorious days of when you were still in Teyvat.

“Have you ever heard of them? My prayers for peace and rest after so long?” her grip on you loosen allowing you to gently push her away and continue finishing the barrier rune. “Did you ever hear anyone’s wishes? You’re so cruel, Creator...”

“I’m not your Creator.” You’re still lying to her… why can’t you just accept the fact you carried everything that was written in the scriptures? “Your Creator… no longer exists.”

With the affinity of water that Oceanids had you combined Furina’s hair into the rune and formed the barrier needed to protect the rest of the World for a certain amount of 2 weeks. Now how did you know Furina was an Oceanid? It might have to do something with her peculiar eyes and hair color, however even without the Oceanid’s affinity with water your blood should have been fine on it’s own.

You aren’t the Creator, you have no memory of making nor creating a world much like this one, in fact you don’t even think you have enough power to make a world like this. But to be called the Creator? What a messed up joke…

Long ago, on one of your expeditions with your mentor, an accident happened on that trip killing your mentor. In their dying breath, your mentor told you of a world they hid from you and that one day you would find it, it would answer the questions they couldn’t answer you before. Though they wanted to tell you more, death had already taken them away.

There’s no use recalling old memories, based on assumptions you could only guess that this world is the world they were talking about, your mentor was truly a sly and secretive person. Leaving so much information yet so little ways of understanding it, creating a world of beauty and pain yet leaving it to rot and forgotten, you could never understand how they work.

“Will you tell them?” You stored the finished rune back into your pocket, Furina stood there with her head hung low not daring to face you directly anymore. “Will you tell the people that a fake god had pretended to take care of them and had contributed almost nothing in protecting them?”

She’s scared of the betrayal look on the people’s faces, the disgust in their eyes, the indifferent look on Neuvillette’s face as he passes down her judgment for being a fake God. You knew too much about her, and she could feel that by looking at your (e/c) eyes, though they show almost no emotions it also has shown that you had seen through her and her facade as a fake god.

“No.” She looked up at you shocked at what you just said, weren’t you going to expose her for lying? “Because I saw the trials you have put on for yourself, to please the people’s expectations, to weigh the heavy responsibilities alone with no one to rely on, praying for peace only to wake up the next day putting up a front and slowly losing yourself, you’ve at some point have forgotten yourself.”

She can’t cry anymore, because there were no tears left for her to cry. It’s so quiet next to you, it’s so lonely next to someone like you, perhaps she somewhat understands your true nature, a lonely vagrant drifting among the stars, someone with no place to call home of your own.

“Are you going to stay in Fontaine?” It’s hopeless to hold you back she knew, yet childishly she still hopes for you to stay even when this is the first time you both had ever talked to each other.

“I can’t,” her face darkens at the answer, someone like you… perhaps it is better for you to leave than to stay here in this cursed land she calls home. “Although my job is far from over and I cannot stay in one place for too long, however.”

A hand you offered her helping her to stand up from where she seated, hesitantly she took it and stood next to you, she looked at where you pointed, despite the fears of being underwater she still found it’s beauty, the beauty you pointed out for her. She’s rarely, no she’s never been underwater until now, there’s just been too much for her to worry about to even have a break. The peace of mind she wanted before… you’re giving it to her now… she’s grateful to you.

“When you no longer have to act as the Hydro Archon anymore, I’ll lead you on a journey beyond Teyvat.”

"Then I'll trust you... beloved Creator..."

You caught her in your arms as she fell asleep once more, gently you handed her to the ocean, the waves shall bring her back to Fontaine and the memories she had just now with you shall be nothing more than a dream, whether it had grant her what she wanted or not you don't know.

The promise you made to her you don't intend to break, it's up to her whether she wants to leave with you or not.

" Furina... You'll get your deserved rest soon, just a little bit more, please dance for the gods."

fem reader attending one of gwen stacys band shows and just being distracted by how gorgeous she is 🤞🤞?

see how it shines

gwen stacy x fem!reader

warnings: none, fluff, lyrics from the song; risk by mega mango.

a/n: I hope you enjoyed this lovely <3

♡♡♡

THE SHOW has already started. You were about 15 minutes late due to the absolute horrid traffic. The scene wasn't one you'd see yourself to ever be in if you were honest.

You enjoyed music much more in a less crowded company. The sweating and the yelling could get tiring after a full 20 minutes. But once you've slid into the front rows of the crowd, you feel as if the whole world had gone quiet.

They were still there and they are still singing and yelling, buf it all felt like a background noise then. The kind you'd put on using the television or a radio while you actually focus on whatever it is that's consuming you. And when your eyes had met the sight of the infamous drummer, Gwen Stacy.

You'd realized then that she was the focus in this situation. You supposed you should thank her for the front row tickets.

The two of you had met in a record shop, you were looking for a good ole Amy Winehouse when as she lets her eyes search the section, left arm alredy hanging onto an Indigo De Souza vinyl. She'd introduced you to new music that evening, with a ticket to one of her shows near your area.

The lead singer had a mesmerizing voice, but you found yourself zeroing on the beats of her drum, and the way it matches the tune so easily. As the music gets louder, the lyrics became clearer too as you try your best to sing along with the rest of the crowd.

"I know I'm not alone or far from home...but I'm freezin.." It sounded like the type of music she'd make. Just the vibe she gave off. Though you almost expected her to be a rock kind of girl. Her eyes were stuck to her instruments, she was there but she wasn't. And when she opened her eyes and risked a glance to the crowd, your arms instinctively goes up to wave. Her eyes meet yours, and your anxious heart relaxes when she smiles at you. "...I've been up all night..."

You were embarrassed of yourself for raising your hand. But her notice rid you of your humiliation. Besides, you were sure no one else besides her even saw it in the first place.

She had a leather jacket on, with bright coloured pins on them. You wondered when was the last time you saw someone who looked this good in a leather jacket on real life, someone in a band too.

The dimly purple coloured lights gave her a glow that convinced you she must be an angel at the moment. The absolute passion in the way her hands moved made her stand out to you the same way rainbows do in hazy skies after a heavy rain. Like it just made sense. You ignore the slight nausea you were suddenly feeling. Stop getting overexcited. You scolded your nerves. You heart was weak, and what with this full of fire of a being in front of you, you'd let her consume your whole being if she wanted to, with the way her eyes are twinkling slightly like faded stars, and she's smirking at you like she knows you'll do anything if she'd just ask.

The rest of the one and a half hour show, you felt drunk of the lively atmosphere. The smell of sweat ceased to bug you every time Gwen acknowledged your presence with a look. You had waited for her once the show ended. Doubts risen of whether you should've just left as everyone currently was, but the drummer herself was quick to find you before you could change your mind.

She beckoned you to the corner of the stage. The air felt less stuffier as people moved to the exit, and yet your chest was piunding like you lacked it with every step you took. A silly grin was plastered on your face, and how happy you felt to see her sharing the same expression.

The spotlights was being shut off when you reached her. You failed to hold yourself back from a hug, arms wrapping themselves around her as if they're used to doing it. The sudden jerk of her body told you she wasn't expecting it, hut she returned it as easily. "I didn't think you'd come." She teases.

You pulled away from her, againts your own want. "Well I did." You replied awkwardly, hands feeling empty as they leave her body. "You did." She repeated.

"And I'm glad you did. Did you like our songs?" You nodded. "I liked seeing you play, you seem passionate about drumming-" Her fingers finds your own before she pulls you with her to the backstage. "-like you're lost in your own world when you start playing." She lets out an awkward laugh at that.

The rest of her bandmates barely glance at her as she brings you into a room with her name by the door. The lead singer was the only one who looked your way, winking at her before he went back to talking with another girl. "I feel like I'm in a different world when I play." She states before closing her door.

You took a seat on the single couch in the cramped room, watching as she finishes off a bottle of water on her desk. "That's nice. " you replied genuinely. "I've never really had any particular thing I liked to doing, or am good at." You explained. If she looked like she wasn't listening before, she completely turned herself towards you as she sits on the spinning chair opposite you, completely paying attention. "Oh there must be something you like to do." You chuckle at that and shook your head slightly. "I mean, I like reading, and sometimes I play video games or something. But nothing I'd say that I'm particular sure I'm passionate about."

She gives an understanding 'ah', nodding her head at your words.

"Maybe you just haven't found it yet, I mean- I know everyone says that a lot...but sometimes your passion could just be out there, waiting in a...random concert you've been coereced to go, or maybe its in the form of a cooking book recipe? You know what I mean?" You nodded. You did know.

"You never know until you actually try the things you never have before. Maybe, drumming could be your passion, who knows?" You laughed in a suprised manner at her teasing. The blonde girl grinned warmly at you, raising a brow. "What? I'm serious! I could give you a few lessons." You hummed and smiled brightly at her.

"Oh I'm very sure music isn't it, I can't even read music notes." You confessed, earning an audible gasp from her. "What?"

"Mmhm." You confirmed, scrunching your nose at her. "All the more reasons to teach you." She decided, earning another laugh from you. "You are relentless!" You noted. She shrugged and moved her chair closer to you. "The things you'd do to spend more time with another person." She whispers loud enough for your ears. You feel your cheek warming at her obvious flirting attempts. But with the pressure to come up with something smart to say back, you ended up saying nothing instead, mouth open, yet speechless.

"Sorry." She apologies when she sensed your quietness. "I have a tendency to move too fast-" You stand up abruptly, cutting off her trail of words. "Oh no- not at all!" She days nothing, waiting for you to continue. "I just, well I just didn't think you'd like me like that."

She frowns when you're done. Standing up herself, so she'd be in an eye level as you. "I've been trying to get your number since we first met at the record shop." Oh. she did. You hadn't given her because you were sure that she was just joking. "And I would love to have your number still, If you're fine with that." You were sure you're looking like an idiot with how big your smile was.

"For drumming lessons?" You joked. The corners of her eyes crinkles adorably as she dissolves into a giggle. "And other lessons you could be interested in."

Ex-DELAIN Singer CHARLOTTE WESSELS Explores 'Heavier Sound' On Upcoming Solo Album

Charismatic Dutch singer/songwriter Charlotte Wessels is set to release her new studio album on September 20, 2024 via Napalm Records. The LP's first single, "The Exorcism", will arrive on May 16, 2024.

Wessels's album promises a cohesive exploration of fear and liberation, as well as spellbinding melancholia and dark, catchy elements meeting progressive and heavier soundscapes. Charlotte and her band will bring this story to the stage on October 4, 2024 at Utrecht's TivoliVredenburg.

The former DELAIN vocalist's earlier solo endeavors, "Tales From Six Feet Under" (2021) and "Tales From Six Feet Under Vol II" (2022) already gained Wessels a remarkable number of devotees, but for the upcoming release, Wessels is raising the bar significantly. While still writing and producing the songs in her Six Feet Under basement home studio and sharing their first incarnations with her patrons, now she's taking the songs to the next level with a band of her fellow ex-DELAIN cohorts Timo Somers (guitars, additional arrangements),Otto Schimmelpenninck Van Der Oije (bass) and Joey Marin De Boer (drums) as well as Sophia Vernikov (piano/hammond),contributing to the new, heavier sound. The album also features arrangements by Vikram Shankar (SILENT SKIES, PAIN OF SALVATION),cello by Elianne Anemaat, mixing by Guido Aalbers (MUSE, COLDPLAY, THE GATHERING) and mastering by Andy VanDette (PORCUPINE TREE, VOLA, DREAM THEATER).

Wessels states: "This album is significant, for on the one hand, telling such a deeply personal journey — through its unintended theme of fear and obsessive thoughts — and at the same time, representing the joy of finding the song's true forms with everyone involved in the making of this record. There were moments in the studio with the band that truly reminded me of why I love making music in the first place, and I don't think I've ever been as excited about music going out into the world. This is the album I want to re-introduce myself with, and I'm so glad to do it with this amazing team."

In a 2022 interview with Spain's The Metal Circus TV, Wessels was asked how she feels about the fact that DELAIN made a comeback with a new lineup. A short time earlier, DELAIN released a single, "The Quest And The Curse", featuring keyboardist, founder and main songwriter Martijn Westerholt alongside new singer Diana Leah, original guitarist Ronald Landa and original drummer Sander Zoer, plus bassist Ludovico Cioffi. Charlotte said: "I'm trying not to engage with it too much, honestly. I've seen positive responses about it, which I think is good. But I do try to keep some distance and just focus on what I'm doing rather than checking that out, because I still don't feel like that will make me happier per se."

In February 2021, Westerholt announced the dissolution of DELAIN's previous lineup. At the time, he explained: "For the last year or so, the collaboration within the band ceased to work as well as it once had. Some of us were no longer happy with the current roles in the band. We all tried very hard to find a solution for over a year, but sadly we were unable to find one. As a result, we will all be going our own ways and pursuing our own endeavors.

"I am very sad our cooperation has come to end, but at the same time I am very grateful for all the years we were able to work together. Together we toured the world, shared highs and lows, and met with many successes as well as times that pushed us to learn and grow. We all enjoyed meeting our fans and making new friends all over the globe."

At the time, Wessels said about her departure: "I know that you might have questions about the 'why' in all of this. I fully understand and respect that. Simply put, it is the sad conclusion of more than a year of trying to find solutions to built-up grievances. Part of me feels like I'm letting all of you down, I'd like you to know that this decision was not taken lightly and I apologize to those of you who had high hopes of seeing all of us together live on stage again after lockdown. Until recently, I thought this might still be in the cards for us as well."

The new DELAIN lineup made its official live debut in August 2022 at the Riverside festival in Aarburg, Switzerland.

hc + 😶 for kaeya, hc + 😨 for neuvi, and hc + 👎 for furina! - @zhongscara

hc + 😶 for a headcanon about a secret they know of / keep

asdfghjkl idk whats left there to headcanon, kaeya canonically has\keeps so many secrets, not only his own, but hes de facto mond spymaster, he keeps tabs on everybody. kaeya's relationship with secrets is very fraught, on one hand he longs to be known and he keeps slipping hints and metaphors, talks in riddles and jokes that sound ridiculous but in fact true if you know context, esp thru stories\performance, like his improvisation in hang out theatre play. but he also knows power of secrets, of getting ppl to tell you smth like that, his information gathering in the tavern, keeping literal lists of treasure hoarder blackmail, etc.

but also he can respect other ppl's secrets, like i thought the venti branch in hang out was very cool, with them both not only tacitly showing each other than they know the other's secrets, but also being supportive without ever actually spelling it out loud.

hc + 😨 for a fear-themed headcanon

i dont think neuvi has fears for himself, with how nonchalant he is in discussing bringing skies down if needed, but hes obv very anxious and protective of melusines, bc. well, his people are gone, i dont think he knows about hydro vishaps trapped in enka bc it's closed off from teyvat. he sees melusines as future of hydro vishaps, and they are his weak spot

hc + 👎 for a headcanon about things they dislike

furina doesnt like crowds or being center of attention outside of clearly designated sace, i.e. stage. she hates working on projects shes not personally interested in, where she doesn't have an auteur take, smth special to bring to the table. is she ate smth spicy, shed die. she doesnt like asking ppl for smth bc she doesn't know how after hundreds of years of performative ordering and demanding, and bc she has severe fear of rejection

#rhine talks #idk what i can even say said rhine and then wrote 2 paragraph rambling asdfghj

Helllooooooo!! And so it begins, Op4 lyrics time. Thanks as always to @alphardofthealley for scans of the lyrics booklet. <3

This one's a very soft and very cute song for John and Sherlock. I absolutely LOVED the roof scene in the manga, and I believe this song managed to double/triple/quadruple just how soft this scene is. Enjoy!!

Under this blue sky

この空の下 | Kono sora no shita Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John H. Watson

Kanji

ずっと一人だったから　お前と一緒に事件を解決するようになってから　前よりももっと楽しくなった同じ目線に立って　謎解きの楽しさを共有できる相棒が　お前で良かった　だから…

お前がここからいなくなると　ちょっと悲しくなるな… でも、だからっていつあでもお前に　ここにいてくれてって言うの違うそれは多分”依存”とか　”支配”ってやつだから俺はメアリーを見極めようとした　彼女を試す様な真似もしたその理由がやっと分かった　お前に幸せになって欲しいからだ

あぁ…　そう願うこの気持ち… これがきっと”友情”って　やつなんだな

友情　友情　お前の口から　そんな言葉が出て来るなんてそんな風に俺を想ってくれて　叫びたいくらいに嬉しいよ！

俺は結婚したとしても　お前の相棒を辞める訳じゃないお前と一緒に事件解決するのは　俺の生き甲斐なんだ！

「…約束だ、ジョン。」俺との友情信じるなら　この先どんなことがあっても

お前はお前の幸せを掴め　お前の幸せこそが… 俺の幸せなんだからな

あぁ約束する　誓いを立てる　この空の下　お前にこの空の下　お前にこの空の下　お前に

Romaji

English

Sherlock: Please. What are you saying, John? I’ve always thought highly of you. John: Really, Sherlock?

I had always been alone And when you came along, solving mysteries became a lot more fun I realized how fun it is having a partner on my side A partner I can work well with, I’m glad that partner is you Which is why I feel a bit sad knowing that you’re leaving

Still, that’s not enough reason to ask you to stay If I do (ask you to stay), I’d be “dependent” on you, or maybe I’d be “taking control” of you I finally understand why I tried to probe Mary, and even tested her And that’s because I just want you to be happy

Ah Yes, this feeling... It must be “friendship”

“Friendship” “Friendship”... Who would have thought the day would come when I’d hear that from your lips? And to think you’d think that about me... I’m so happy I could scream!

John: Sherlock! Sherlock: Wha! Idiot! Don’t just suddenly hug me! John: Come on. It’s fine, right? Sherlock: It’s weird. Let go of me! John: But, don’t get the wrong idea, Sherlock.

Even if I get married, I won’t stop being your partner Because solving cases with you is my life’s purpose!

That’s a promise, John. If you think my friendship is true, know that regardless of what happens from now on Just go and grab onto your happiness Because what makes you happy　makes me happy.

Yes, I promise. I swear this oath to you, under this blue sky Under this blue sky, I swear to you Under this blue sky, I swear to you

John: Let’s make sure everything goes well tomorrow! Sherlock: Yeah. Let’s do that.

Notes: There's no mention of blue skies, but the weather was shown to be super nice on stage, so I thought I should capture that. I LOVE THIS SCENE.

Six Makeup: Details from Erin Ramirez's Story

I made a post compiling makeup information from the queens across productions and queens, which you can find here. ----------- After leaving Six, Erin Ramirez did a series of Instagram stories talking through some of the makeup she used while in Six. I compiled that information into this post. Couple notes: - All of these links are to US sites/sellers. I don't know about brand/product availability outside of the US. - The availability of some of these products might differ now. - I'm listing Erin's recommendations as she said them (note that this is paraphrased). But know that not every product will work for everyone, due to coloring or ingredients/formulation. Do your due diligence on what will work for you and individual companies/products/allergens before buying. - And, as always: This is what Erin and some other Six queens use. That does not mean it's what anyone else need to use. Many are expensive and you can typically find cheaper dupes. They're also used for stage makeup and may not translate well to normal lighting or convention stages. The colors may match Erin's costumes but not the materials any given cosplayer is using. Again, it's up to you to determine what works best for you.

GLITTER EYESHADOWS

Lemonhead Space Paste Colors: Viper (green/Boleyn), Wonderland (pink/Howard), Malibu (blue/Parr) - Erin said: These are a paste. Because of the consistency they need to be applied in thinner layers. You have to play around to get to the right application process. - They're the brightest and best glitters for stage out of what she has. - These glitters were given to the Aragon Tour cast by Six while they were performing in Boston.

Designer Dust Co. Face Sprinkles Colors: Emerald City Skyline (green/Boleyn), either Bubblegum Bae or Disco Pants (pink/Howard), Blue Fly Skies (blue/Parr) - These are not as bright onstage as the Lemonhead, but Erin said they are easier to apply (smaller chunks/less pasty). - One of Erin's glitters dried out, but you can spray setting spray in the package to reactivate them. - Erin suggested that the company's glue and silicone applicators be used in tandem with the face sprinkles (more details below).

MAC Glitter Colors: Silver (Platinum, neutral used for all queens), Emerald (Boleyn), Rose (Howard), Cerulean (Parr) - Note: These are slowly being phased out and the colors Six has historically used are either no longer available or have been renamed. Some of them do currently exist in the MAC Pigment which is a similar product. - This is a loose glitter rather than a paste and tend sto have bad fallout. Erin suggests doing eye makeup before the rest of your makeup if you're using it and/or using eyeshadow tape. - These glitters were given to the actors by Six.

NYX Metallic Glitter Color: Beauty Beam (all) - Erin used this on her inner corner for all queens. She said it looks pink in package but looks neutral when worn.

KVD Dazzle Eyeshadow Stick Color: Green Flash (Boleyn) - Erin said this was too mellow for onstage, but she found it easy to apply and great for a night out.

OTHER EYESHADOWS/LINERS

Beauty Creations Dare to be Bright eyeshadow palette Colors: Boujee (green/Boleyn), Bomb af (pink/Howard) - These are no longer sold directly/individually by Beauty Creations. - You can buy the green from Beauty Creations in a pack with other products or individually from Beaute and Hoot. - You can buy the pink on from Beauty Creations in a pack with other products or individually from Amazon. - There are other sources for both of those eyeshadows, I just linked the first few options. - She said the only issue was that these could lean neon under stage lights.

MAC Dazzleshadow Extreme Colors: Celebutante (Howard). Erin also had blue and green but didn't mention those shades that I heard. The green may be Joie de Glitz. I don't think the blue shade is still sold.

Maybelline Tattoo Studio Gel Pencil Colors: Erin just said she had pink and turquoise. I'm not sure on the shades. - She liked these for detailed designs.

Haus Labs Hy-Power Pigment Paint Colors: fuchsia matte (Howard)

CRYSTALS

Designer Dust Co. Face Sparkles Colors (presumable, Erin did not specify these): Green (Boleyn), Glow Pink (Howard), Blue (Parr)

LIPSTICK AND LIPLINERS

MAC Lip Liner Color: Talking Points (Howard)

Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint Color: Uncensored (Boleyn), Unlocked (Howard) - Erin said she liked these because it created clean lines and was long lasting.

ACCESSORIES

Designer Dust Co. Glue - Erin suggested that this be used with the Designer Dust Co face sprinkles, although I suspect it could be used to similar effect with some of the others. She said this was helpful for easy removal as it allowed the eye look to be peeled off in one go.

NYX Glitter Primer - Erin said this is what was provided to the actors by Six. Was used with MAC and possibly others.

Designer Dust Co. Silicone Applicators - Erin suggested using these with the Designer Dust Co sprinkles. She said they can be used to smear the glitters on "like a spatula." - She also mentioned the liner applicators specifically.

By Rachel Hartigan

Published: 9 March 2023

The history of the first women who flew is a tale of breathtaking bravery and lives cut tragically short.

On 8 March 1910 — 113 years ago today — Raymonde de Laroche, a former Parisian stage actress, became the first licensed female pilot in the world.

Nine years later, she was killed when the experimental aircraft she was flying dove into the ground.

Harriet Quimby, a well-known journalist, became the first American woman to obtain a pilot’s license in 1911.

She died a year later when her new plane pitched her into Boston Harbor.

In 1921, Bessie Coleman was the first Black woman to receive a pilot’s license — she had to travel to France to find a flight school that would teach her.

But five years later, she was killed when a wrench got caught in her plane’s controls, sending the plane plummeting.

Flying was perilous in aviation’s earliest days.

"The planes were flimsy contraptions fashioned from bamboo, wire and fabric,” according to the late historian Eileen Lebow.

They didn’t have seat belts or even a roof to hold the pilot should the aircraft flip over.

Yet women like Laroche, Quimby and Coleman were willing to risk their lives for the freedom that flights promised.

“Aviation was a new profession seemingly free from the gender expectations and sex typing that limited women elsewhere,” noted historian Susan Ware at the National Air and Space Museum’s inaugural Amelia Earhart Lecture in Aviation History in 2022.

“Women were getting in at the beginning.”

For many of them, the thrill of flying was intoxicating but so was the opportunity to be assessed on their own merits.

“These women wanted to be judged as human beings rather than as women,” says Ware.

Coleman especially saw flight as a path toward broader gender and racial equality.

"I knew we had no aviators, neither men nor women, and I knew the Race needed to be represented along this most important line,” she said shortly after she returned to the United States from France in 1921.

“I thought it my duty to risk my life to learn aviating and to encourage flying among men and women of the Race who are so far behind.”

Before she died, she’d planned to open a flight school that would welcome African American aviators.

Many early women fliers shared the dream that achievement in this field would lead to more independence.

As one journalist and amateur pilot wrote in 1930, “A woman who can find fulfillment in the skies will never again need to live her life in some man’s spare moments.”

Some of that independence would come from the ease of travel that aviation promised in its earliest incarnation.

Many people, including Amelia Earhart, believed at first that airplanes would become as commonly owned by families as bicycles and automobiles already had.

Other women embraced the financial independence that they thought the new field would offer.

Neta Snook, whose first solo flight was in a plane she rebuilt, made her living by offering up her plane for aerial advertising, test flying experimental aircraft, taking paying passengers up for aerial tours, and teaching beginning fliers, including Earhart.

Gladys Roy, on the other hand, earned good money as a stunt pilot, dancing the Charleston and playing tennis on the wings midflight for amazed crowds at air shows.

(Snook retired from aviation when she became pregnant in her mid-twenties and lived to be 95; Roy died at 25 when she accidentally stepped into a propeller.)

Sisters Katherine and Marjorie Stinson took a more long-term approach, establishing a flight school in Texas with their mother and brother that trained, among others, Canadian pilots in the run up to World War I.

When the U.S. entered the war, the country’s civil aviation — including the Stinson School for Flying — was shut down.

Katherine went to Europe to serve as an ambulance driver while Marjorie became an aeronautical draftsman for the Navy.

War and the development of commercial aviation conspired to dampen women’s hopes of equality in the air.

Experienced women pilots such as LaRoche and Katherine Stinson volunteered to serve in their countries’ nascent air forces during World War I.

They were denied, the military preferring to train unseasoned men.

The same pattern occurred in World War II, although Women’s Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) did ferry U.S. military planes as civilian pilots during the conflict.

(The Soviet Union, however, had three female air combat regiments.)

The dream of every family owning a private plane never did materialize; the infrastructure required would have been too extensive.

Instead, the commercial aviation industry developed, hiring men — many of whom had been trained as pilots by the military.

It was no use pointing out, as Earhart did, that "if women had access to the training and equipment men had we could certainly do as well."

Helen Richey became the first female commercial pilot in 1934 but was hounded out of her job.

The U.S. Commerce Department, under pressure from the all-male pilots’ union, decreed that women weren’t allowed to fly scheduled routes in bad weather.

(They’d previously considered “grounding female pilots for nine days a month during menstruation,” according to Ware).

There wouldn’t be another female commercial pilot until 1973, when Emily Howell Warner was hired by Frontier.

What is your greatest fear?

Jacques Anquetil:

Let me set the stage, Tour de France 1958, the French team is already having drama 5000 because Géminiani is having a bitch fit.

However despite Géminiani being in yellow the Helyett team was pretty sure they still had a great shot to get Jacques into yellow again. By the time of stage 20, he was fourth overall in the GC.

But stage 20 was also the stage Charly Gaul decided to let lose, and the weather decided to play in his favor. The sun went in, the skies clouded over, a light rain quickly became icy. Gaul was in his element, now - he loved these conditions, whereas Anquetil hated them.

Jacques legs went heavy and he struggled to breathe, all strength left his body. First Adriaenssens caught him, then Géminiani, Bobet and Favero. Meanwhile Gaul was going faster and faster and the gap begun to reach alarming proportions. Walkowiak loyally caught Jacques and stayed with him to the finish.

Géminiani lost the yellow jersey that day to Vito Favero, and Jacques was forced to abandon the race the next day when he started spitting blood. He was taken to hospital where a pulmonary congestion was diagnosed.

"During the night Jacques had a very strange nightmare. He was riding through the mountains chasing a 'rain man' a few hundred metres ahead. After a prolonged effort he saw that it was Charly Gaul, made up of thousands of tiny droplets of rain. When he drew alongside him the apparition vanished and then reformed a few hundred metres in front. Then the process started all over again."

(translation+lyrics) 導黒のミアルカ Act:Ⅱ by Ariabl'eyeS

youtube

Well here it is. Really solid record this time around, particularly with the track Shuumaku no MiaLuca. Would really be one of their better songs but I don’t quite agree with the scream of intense pain they left in, it’s quite dramatical for sure but still jarring on subsequent listens, much like Yuzuki Risa’s “ne?” on her song, for some reason it just doesn’t sit well with me.

Also gotta admire the naming sense on these tracks, aside from Dear they all have such badass names lmao. The cover art is golden, the back art of the album is diamonds, overall just really good stuff. Feel like they really captured the sheer hatred and resolve of the main character and also the love she holds for her cat. Still feels like there’s not enough story to really justify a two-parter, but given the fact the music is solid on it’s own it doesn’t really matter. I for one ended up listening to the previous album way more than I originally expected.

Anyway, my work pc imploded or something and I rarely if ever feel like tling on my phone so expect even less from me in the near future. Lyrics down below the cut and see you all next time.

——————

Composer for all tracks: リゼ

Prelude -Mialuca II- (HEAVILY PARAPHRASED)

Under the starry skies, tonight once more the curtain rises amidst squealing and screams of pure pain on the aristocrats torturing and making a mockery of their prisoners. And above all stands the king, grinning at me with his disgusting face, inviting me. Quite convenient for me. To avenge my parents, I’m willing to bet my life and play the part of a cruel woman if necessary. The time is finally upon us. This world will be mine.

I wield this blade that carries both of our unfulfilled wishes Her stealthy blade cuts through the wind as voices resonate all throughout the night

What more proof is there to our friendship than a ferocious bite onto his hand However as the cat buried it’s face, the arm was swung sending it to his demise

As I tried to stand a voice rushed me and lifted me up Wake up! You’re the only who can save the world you hold dear! “It has to be this way, I swore to you Luka!”

furikazasu yaiba wa anata to tomo ni aisuru watashi no subete de 「mou owari da」 yadoru chikara de kare wo nagu maichiru zankyou wa itsumademo

And so the blade I wielded along with my loved one brought about the end of it all With the power still dwelling in it, I finish the job as the echoes linger forevermore.

Postlude -MiaLuca II- (HEAVILY PARAPHRASED)

Having slain the king she held onto Luca. He was glad that after fighting so hard she was able to live through it all. He then dropped on her lap, unable to go on. After all, Luca really was just a normal cat. Not a demon or a deceiver. It was Mia’s own wish for revenge that really spun their story. He was simply her faithful companion.

Dear… Vocals: Luna

Those sparkly and brilliant dresses sure hid my heart away But for the people, I’ve had to taint both my clothes and hands

korekara wa Luka ya ryoushin ga tengoku de hokoreru watashi ni soshite itsuka mata egao de aeru you ni

I hope you and my parents are proud of me up there And that one day I get to see your smiles once more

I often wish I passed away on that day just as you did How many nights have come and gone since I’ve had to endure through so many lonely nights Even so, there’s still so much to do

nee Luka itsuka sono toki ga kitara mata sono koe kikasete ne

Hey Luka, when the time finally arrives Let me hear your voice once more

Yandere ¡Phantom of the Opera! x ¡Actress! Reader:

This is part of a wattpad order.

Yandere: Darius (Curiously, in the original book there is a character named like that XDXD).

Warning: The facts reported here will be based on the book that was written by Gastón Leroux. If you have not read the original book, do not read this section because it probably has some spoilers except for some things changed and shortened.

*Narrator PO.V*

Ah, Opera music becomes beautiful, doesn't it?

It becomes beautiful especially in true prodigies who put all their effort and dedication for a long time. Counting on long and exhaustive preparations in which, if you are good enough, you can have the most beautiful of voices, those that are capable of reaching the skies and conquering the hearts of the public with each note, each word and each blessed intonation worthy of belonging to an angel.

That was the case of a 26-year-old young lady named (y/n) (y/y). Nobody knows how she got to the National Academy of Music in Paris as she has never said. She is one of the new girls that the little women of the dance corps invent rumors out of envy, but also because there are rumors about a dark secret that is about a character that is about something or someone inside the opera building that some consider true. and others consider it a simple speculation… until they run into it.

That is called the Phantom of the Opera.

--No one has seen him exactly, but I know he's real because I've heard him once!-- That's what one of the girls from the corps de ballet said every time the subject was brought up, and the others were no exception. That night the now former directors of the academy were being bid farewell with a famous gala party where everyone went in stunning outfits and (Y/n) (Y/a), who was the maiden who interpreted some passages from Romeo and Juliet at that time. The girls listened inside one of the dressing rooms behind the stage to everything. He how he made his seraphic voice resound through the air, making each soul fly to the heavens in this show after an arduous training with someone mysterious.

(Y/n) sang in this case substituting an important Opera personality since she was indisposed. It was something never seen or heard! It was what many called a "new Daisy" with a brightness and splendor never seen before. The entire room applauded with a thousand cries of joy that later turned into concerns because when she finished singing, the aforementioned leading actress fainted on stage from exhaustion. Everyone in the audience was worried, including a certain elegant man who had known her since childhood.

As they treated (Y/n) and rushed her to her dressing room with a doctor who happened to be a guest at that off-duty party, the girls continued to talk quietly about the ghost.

--That's what you say, Vanessa, because I think there is someone else who has seen him. Ask Mr. Buquet, the chief engineer-- One of them said that she thought she saw said man talking very animatedly with (Y/n) and that later he crossed paths with the ghost, but since he had not been there, Vanessa could not know if it was true or not. Suddenly, someone breaks terrible news to everyone again.

Mr. Buquet had been found hanging in the cellars. Nobody knew what had happened to get to that exactly since not even the closest friends knew that he had a depression or something similar exactly, although they suspected that Miss (Y/n) had something to do with it, since in the night before his death he was seen speaking in high spirits.

But few know who was really behind all this.

Someone who only looked at them from a distance with a mocking smile before heading to the actress's dressing room, without realizing that Viscount Anderson was also there with his utmost concern for the artist.

Time has passed like many other things.

Viscount Anderson, a very good childhood friend of (Y/n), was heartbroken and devastated by an unfortunate event for his heart and hopes. He heard a male voice that he had never heard inside the Academy or opera, which not only congratulated his beloved for the act but also sympathized with her sudden fainting from exhaustion on stage and said something that left poor Anderson in shock. shock.

'It's necessary to love me (Y/n) (Y/a)!' Those words disconcerted him, but what hurt him was the singer's affirmative answer, as if a pin had gone through his chest.

On the other hand, more events have occurred in the opera at the hands of the ghost, such as the time in which he threw the new directors out of their respective box, box No. 5 which he reserved for each performance in which our mentioned actress made an appearance on stage debuting with all her power. The directors had tried to rent the box but its owner took it upon himself to make them pay. The third event was the absence of (Y/n), which worried Viscount Anderson very much, the fourth was the worst humiliation to one of the glamorous artists in revenge of the ghost towards the new directors for not making HIS (T/ n) was the protagonist tonight.

The ghost watched EVERY corner of the opera whenever he could, and he knew that Viscount Anderson was looking for the diva, who was in the town where her old father died, who was a well-loved peasant violinist who told him so much to his daughter as to Anderson the legend of an Angel of music that he promised to send her once he was in heaven, and yes, it seems that as soon as she arrived at the Opera as a substitute actress for a lady called Carlotta.

--If it weren't for the fact that I enjoy seeing how you suffer when you find out that (Y/n) will only be my Angel of music, I would have already killed you like I did with Buquet-- The ghost whispered, thinking about what he could do to make Anderson suffer more with the idea that (Y/n)'s fate is now his alone.

He always had (Y/n) under his eye.

Time continued to pass and (Y/n) continued to have more visits from that Angel of music, while Anderson continued to investigate what was happening with the beloved he had known since he was a child, coming to be surprised months after that Angel of music forbids her to marry even if she loves him and that even the good genius was with her when she visited her father's grave.

She found out that this "good genius" gave her private lessons at the Opera when no one was there, especially around eight in the morning. He wondered to himself if he was going crazy or something, which he hoped he wasn't. All of this continued to the point where he received a letter from his beloved telling him to attend the masked ball that would be at the Opera near the ball foyer, indicating VERY specific clothing and to be well masked, which made him happy. only to be baffled by the very specific clothing requirement.

--I'll be there, (Y/n), don't worry-- He whispered after putting the letter in his pocket.

She planned to give her an interview to find out who was manipulating and controlling her, and to see if she could do anything to help her.

And the day of the appointment arrived faster than he expected, and he was dressed as the diva told him, who was also very discreet, and after they bumped into each other, they walked together. Anderson was a little nervous, since he didn't know where to start asking and the diva was just as nervous or more nervous than him. Suddenly, when they crossed the public foyer, where there were other people with masks, where a strange fellow with an elegant feathered hat and an elegant scarlet suit called himself The Red Death, who seemed familiar to Anderson for a moment.

She wanted to chase him, but (Y/n) pulled her arm away from the scene as if something was chasing her, as if the red death was looking for her. Then they reached her dressing room and she closed the door behind her, although she recommended that he stay in the back of the dressing room and not peek out. which Anderson obeyed. He was totally astonished to see the girl lean slightly towards the partition to listen carefully to what was happening on the other side, and then he said in a low voice:

--He must have gone to the "dressing room of the blind people"!-- Then she heard some footsteps.

--He is coming down!-- Then, after they were sure no one was listening, Anderson said:

--I have to find out who that red death is-- Anderson was willing to help her and when she was about to go out and go after him, the diva stopped him.

--In the name of our love you will not go anywhere!-- Anderson froze for a second. What had she said? Did she say she loved him? But she never told him, though she had no shortage of occasions to do so. He was even sick with love for her but she preferred to run away. And now she was telling him that she loved him!

--Liar, I was looking everywhere for you and even got sick because of it. You owe me a good explanation miss-- Poor skittish (Y/n) didn't know exactly where to start, until she said:

--I brought here to tell you-- Uncertainty began to cruelly disturb Anderson's soul, but he tried not to get out of control, however, he did not control the following words from coming out of his mouth:

--Will you tell me what all this means? You are free as far as I know, without fetters… You walk around the city… you put on elegant clothes to run to the dance… Why haven't you come home? …What is this story of the Angel of music? Someone could have tricked her, and I witnessed it myself a long time ago and you know it… That makes a lot of sense to me, (Y/n)… You know what you're doing! … What is that "good genius"?… Explain yourself miss (Y/n), I beg you! … What's all this fuss?-- Faced with this bombardment of questions and questions from the viscount, the diva took off her mask, revealing how the fresh colors had disappeared, being replaced by a deadly pallor.

--It's a tragedy!-- The diva's face only showed sadness, which alarmed the lover. Who has caused this? Could it have been the Angel of music? She didn't know because she put her mask back on and ran out of there, leaving a confused and sore Anderson, who thoughtfully returned to the corridor that led to the back of the stage, looking for the red death, which led him to the place where he was suffering emotionally, but this time there was no one there.

He wanted to leave her a note, but he heard footsteps coming towards the dressing room, so he hid and kept quiet to listen to everything, because he knew it was his love. When she entered, she was distraught again, tossing her mask on the coffee table, muttering wearily:

--Forgive me Anderson, truly forgive me-- That surprised the man greatly. So she loved him! I really loved him! But now another voice, unhappily familiar to Anderson, echoed through the room.

--Oh come on, (Y/n). Don't feel bad for him. He just wants you to get his last name for being a singer and having an angel voice-- The aforementioned was internally angry when he heard that from the ghost, but it had also made him question one thing while a vein stood out on his forehead, had he been listening? No, because he saw him in the public foyer, but perhaps he was able to move and in that case… Did the ghost know that he was hiding there? It wasn't something I wanted to try at the time.

--But how is that possible? I don't think so, he has been a person of strong confidence for me even since my father was alive, since childhood-- That was true. They were always very attached, especially in that beautiful stage.

--With more reason. Knowing you so thoroughly knows where to give you better pain, instead I will always take care of giving you the best and everything you want-- Anderson clenched his fist while the strange man's voice said all that, how was he able to manipulate her with all that? I would end up finding out.

A month has passed and some things have happened.

Anderson has met several times with (Y/n) privately while the ghost watched and planned his revenge against Anderson in a big way to make (Y/n) understand that it will only be his Angel of music. Anderson found out that the male voice was called Darius thanks to her naming him while he was hiding in the dressing room once more. At first his beloved refused to give any explanation, until the viscount noticed a golden ring on the diva's finger.

It was from Darius.

He supposed that Darius was the one who put the ring on her finger, and after the diva's disappearance for a few days, his suspicions were more accurate according to his beliefs. Darius, meanwhile, manipulated every event he could at the Opera House so that his beloved music maiden would be its leading lady, and if she wasn't, then (Y/n) was the only person who could stay in box #5, which made the new directors begin to question her, only to appear very very scared and even paranoid after, according to the ghost, "messing with his lady". He also manipulated (Y/n) to turn her against Anderson, as long as he made her believe that 'Anderson doesn't want her to continue to succeed, that he doesn't want her to be a bigger star than him' And he made sure to lure him into his set of trap doors in the basements.

--I will save you from his power, (Y/n)-- Anderson whispered, mentally cursing Darius while Darius was just watching from the shadows, glaring at him from under his white mask.

But sooner rather than later, a catastrophe occurred at the Opera.

He knew that Anderson and his beloved were planning to flee, but he, angry and jealous at the same time, went ahead, taking his beloved with him to his domain, to his empire. A part of the work was already done, only the other large part was missing so that finally his angel of music was his alone forever without interventions.

Assassinate Viscount Anderson.

Anderson was the first to search like crazy for the kidnapped diva, because more than anyone he knew the danger they were in. When the woman woke up, she felt that she was in a very comfortable bed, but it was not her dressing room at all. Then by his side he found a note that said:

"Dear (Y/n), don't be alarmed by your new fate. There is no better or more respectful friend in the world than me. I know that you are alone in my house, which is now also yours, but I have gone out to buy some things for you, my love".

The poor thing could never find the way out, and heartbroken, she cried all night.

More than a year has passed.

The diva was still trapped with that horrible ghost, who, seeing that she discovered his terrible ugliness under the mask and that she will never love him on her own, kidnapped her in his empire under the basement of the opera, making her sing solely and exclusively for him. the. At first she tried to escape, but the ghost always had a trick up its sleeve to trap her back into his domain.

On the other hand, Anderson tried to rescue her. He sneaked into the Opera at times when no one was there to try to decipher Darius's trap door system and after a very long time of effort, he succeeded, which the ghost did not like so he decided to teach him a lesson, sending him to his precious torture chamber where he made him undergo a lot of terrible torture behind the back of his beloved, which ended up killing the viscount, feeling like a failure for not having rescued her as he promised himself, for not having been happy at her side .

--I´m sorry... (T/n)... i´m really sorry...-- They were his last words so that his body was later taken from there.

Since then, our beautiful diva was turned by Darius into the protagonist of each song and verse, into his maiden with a pure heart, into his beloved wife, and of course, also…

In his Angel of Music.

-The End.

*Clarifications:

I had to cut a lot because it's a one shot and because surely there will be people who haven't read the original book. 2. I took some characters from the original book and replaced them with my own while I left others like Mr. Buquet that way. The replaced characters were:

-Viscount Raoul Chagny.

-Christine Daae.

-And of course, Eric, the Phantom of the Opera.

The original book is by Gastón Leorux, I highly recommend it, so go enjoy it and tell me what you think.

-Now yes, the end.
