SxF Light Novel: Family Portrait Translation Short Novel: Family (Temporary)

Read Mission 4: Portrait of the Forger Family!? Here. DO NOT REPOST

At a certain restaurant in Berlint, the capital of Ostania. Lily, a waitress at this restaurant, which is popular for its not-too-luxury, yet stylish, chef-created cuisine that uses plenty of carefully selected ingredients and its comfortable atmosphere, was in the midst of her marriage hunting activities. 

“......But I think marriage isn’t really that good, is it?”

After being rejected by her blind date partner again, Lily pouted and ranted to her colleague Rose while setting up the tables before the store opened. 

“You’re just saying that because you don’t want to admit that you got dumped again, aren’t you? You have to take things seriously or else you’ll be left behind, you know.”

“I-I didn’t get dumped! We just didn’t have the same values! You’re just making fun of me just because you have a soon-to-be-husband boyfriend!”

Lily said, pissed and let out a sigh. 

“Geez, I’m gonna stop looking for a marriage partner! I’m fine with being alone! I can live all by myself!”

Lily crumpled the napkin she was folding in sorrow and frustration, only to be scolded by the older Rose again by saying “Hey!”. On top of that, she also lectured her on how she needed to get a little more grip of reality, at which Lily puffed out her cheeks as she complained. 

“But, looking at the families coming here, they don’t look happy at all.”

“Yeah….well, you’re right, that’s actually true.”

“You know, like that couple for example, they’re scolding their kids but they have terrible table manners themselves.”

As Lily gave an example of a customer she seen at the restaurant while refolding a napkin, Rose grimaced, “Oh, I hate that.” Then she added, “Now that you’ve mentioned it, there’s also that newlyweds who were fighting in front of their food. I wish they’d do that kind of thing at their home instead.” 

She set a single flower vase in the middle of the table as she cited a certain customer.

Lily, who was energized by this, added, 

“Say, do you remember the old couple whose husband complained about everything?”

“The guy who said, the food was tepid, or the service was slow, or the pictures on the wall looked old-fashioned and the tablecloths were wrinkled, and so on, right? While her husband was complaining to the manager, the wife looked like she wanted to just disappear from this place. I bet her husband is like that all the time at home.”

“That’s so suffocating, isn’t it?”

As if imagining it, Rose wrinkled her eyebrows deeply. Not only that, she also shuddered with disgust. 

“Well, marriage doesn't always equals happiness, after all.”

“You’re right.”

After that, the two of them continued to talk about the unhappy marriages of their customers, and at the end, Lily’s shoulders slumped. 

“Ohhh….if we look at it like that, marriage is the graveyard of life. Maybe that’s the reality of it.”

“Oh, but, then, how about that family?”

Rose said as she turned the silver spoon around. 

“That family?”

“You know, that family that you said the husband is just your type?”

“Ah! The Ho-Ho-Ho something!”

“The Forgers. Aren’t they the ones who always make sure to make a reservation before coming here to the restaurant?”

At Rose’s words, Lily nodded and said,

“Oh, that’s right, the Forgers.”

The Forger family consists of a father, mother and daughter. They are a family that anyone can recognize as someone from the upper class within a day, but they don’t take it personally at all. They’re friendly, courteous, and kind to everyone in the restaurant. 

The tall, smiling, soft-looking Mr. Forger was quite handsome and he was exactly Lily’s type, but his wife, who looked plain at first glance, but if you looked at her closely, she had a well-defined face and an outstanding figure, was very kind to Lily, who made a mistake in serving the wrong dish, and was even considerate of her feelings as she was very worried at Lily for her mistake, at that she easily concluded that she was no match to her and raised the white flag in her heart. She remembers it well. 

“A handsome husband with a beautiful wife, and on top of that, their child is very cute too.”

Lily sighed as she smoothed out the wrinkles on a nearby tablecloth. 

Their daughter must have been around four years old? Even Lily, who is far from motherhood, gets a tingling feeling as she recalls the child's slightly slurred speech and her childish antics. 

“Actually, I saw that family not too long ago at the city zoo.”

“Oh, that time you went on a date with the twelfth guy? You were rejected spectacularly by that one, right?”

“Don’t remind me! At that time, the husband was watching the giraffe with his daughter on his shoulders. The daughter was so excited that she imitated the movement of the giraffe’s head and wobbled around a lot. At that, the husband scolded her with a wry smile, saying “Hey, that’s dangerous,” but he held her tightly so she wouldn’t fall off while his wife was looking at the two of them with a smile on her face.”

It was like a scene from a happy family movie. She remembered that she felt like crying, partly because she had not had a good conversation with her blind date partner.

Oh, they look happy. Ah, that’s nice. It was a sight that she could honestly think like that. 

As Lily was being sentimental, Rose recalled,

“I heard that her husband is a doctor.”

“That’s right! Ah, I’m getting more and more jealous now…Anyway, why do you know that?”

“I overheard their conversation while I was bringing them their food. By the way, his wife is a city hall employee and their daughter is a student at Eden College. They’re a perfect family, aren’t they?”

“Eh? That kid? That little kid is a student at a very p-p-prestigious school!? That kid sure is smart! Anyway, how come you know that much? Are you a spy?”

Lily literally rolled her tongue at her colleague’s ability to gather information. 

“What are you talking about? There’s only so much fun you can have as a waitress.”

Rose, having finished setting the table, scruffily replied,

“Oh, by the way, I see that you have an appointment with the Forgers today.”

“Yea-....a doctor husband, a hard working wife who works at the city hall and a daughter who is a student at Eden huh….”

They’re truly a picture perfect happy family. She’s sure they live in a beautiful home and spend their days filled with love and peace. 

Imagining their dazzling appearances, she squeezed her eyes shut. They were too bright for Lily’s eyes. 

“Oh right, it seems like they also have a big dog. You’re a dog person, right?”

“A big dog too!?”

As she saw Lily, who almost collapse on the spot due to her jealousy, Rose teasingly asked, 

“So? It makes you want to get married now, doesn't it?

Lily clutched the hem of her apron with both hands and declared with tears in her eyes, 

“Rose! I’ve made up my mind! I’m going to keep looking for a marriage partner even if it kills me!”

----However, the girls didn’t know. That the ideal family that they thought was a normal picture perfect happy family was actually a fake family made up of complete strangers. And the Forger family itself also had no way of knowing that their pseudo-family had contributed to raising the marriage rate in Ostania.

Yor Briar with roses tattos

i can't draw anatomy and side profile

[twiyoriz]

saw a tweet that anya, who has jumped from orphanage to orphanage and house to house at such a young age, is building her perception of love through twilight and yor: the reassuring words twilight says to yor, yor’s constant acts of service for her family, and their overall warmth and trust to depend on one another, despite initially being complete strangers.

what i love about that and spy x family as a whole is that it doesn’t enforce love as something purely romantic or physical, but that it’s everywhere. love is in yor’s burnt fried eggs and twilight’s nagging to get homework done. it’s in the peanuts in the pantry, the family ootings, and in each stitch in anya’s penguin plush. despite having a rough childhood, it’s likely that anya will grow knowing that love is limitless and is sprinkled throughout everyday life, thanks to twilight and yor (and bond).

of course, love can also mean kissing

[nallhir]

yor in suit :D

[ninebaalart]

Yor Forger

im sure spy x family is good but im kind of more interested in this idea that yor and fiona are like, kind of broken people? that theyre fundamentally close in natures but fiona has fully discarded her humanity in a way that only yor can bring back because she herself was also on the brink of losing

[deonideatta]

Twilight realizes his feelings

Hello, thanks for the ask! Took a while but I finally got to it lol. Was fun to write, hope you enjoy it!!!

-------------

He feels nothing for her.

Nothing lovers usually feel for each other, at least. Of course, he respects her. Her insight has been crucial to the smooth operation of the Forger family, pulling him back from irrational spirals more than once.

And he admires her. How could he not? The way she cares lingers in Anya’s grins and cheery shouts for her mama, in the warmth that welcomes him home in the evenings, in cups of caffeine-free coffee and gentle smiles that linger in his mind. It throws him sometimes, how much kindness she pours into this little family formed on pretenses.

But over time, he’s come to expect the unexpected from her. None of his pages of analysis can pin down her entirety, no manipulation or carefully planned flowchart can fully bend her to its will. Just when he thinks he’s understood her she blindsides him, throwing all his well laid plans into disarray. It’s intriguing in ways he can’t afford to delve into, as much as he finds he wants to.

Because he feels nothing for her - nothing that should make him want her to trust him with the intricacies of what makes her who she is, at least. He isn’t really her husband, after all. And one day, when Loid Forger has served his purpose and all this is over, she'll find someone out there who will love her truthfully and openly. Someone she can love back and happily share her life with. The thought should not feel like ice in his chest.

Because she doesn’t feel for him either, not in any of the ways a wife should feel for her husband, not in the way he sometimes wishes someone would when the thought of spending the rest of his life in an endless cycle of discarded identities weighs on him a little too much. Solitude is an inevitability. He tells himself he’s fine with that.

She doesn’t know him, anyway. Not him as he really is, beneath the facades that make up his legend, beneath the false emotions and the vulnerability that he’s not sure is quite so false anymore.

It shouldn’t matter, since he feels nothing for her. But this nothing sets a rhythm going in his chest when they’re close, and dusts his cheeks with colour when she stops to fix his tie after adjusting Anya’s uniform at the door.

He’s forced to confront that ‘nothing’ when one evening takes them too close to the edge. His smiles are too soft, and the look in her eyes is too tender, and he struggles to confine all the feelings he shouldn’t feel in the container of nothing where he needs them to stay.

And then she kisses him, and his mind goes terribly blank, devoid of all the reasoning that would - should - give him the strength to pull away. There’s no pretense to the way he reaches out to cup her face, shifting to better kiss her back.

She sighs against him, and he really should stop, and save them both the hurt this will inevitably bring. There's nothing left of himself to give her, barely a shadow of a man hiding behind layers and layers of lies.

Restraint prevails, and he manages to pull away, averting his eyes so as not to see whatever her reaction is. She goes still in front of him, face turned towards him.

He forces himself to meet her gaze. She's looking up at him like she's seeing him for the first time. It's an oddly understanding look, a gleam in her eyes that holds him captive and makes him forget to put up any of the facades that are supposed to govern their relationship.

She moves slowly, leaning up to press a gentle kiss to the corner of his mouth, and the nothing shatters its casing to reveal something bubbling up like a spring in his heart. Her face is serious but gentle, and restraint cannot suppress the urge to hold her close. She lets him, tucking her head against his neck. For some reason there's a lump in his throat.

The spring trickles on, a small but constant presence.

Time makes it into a stream, stronger with every touch and every glance, with every quiet evening and every inch that the facades drop.

“And you definitely don’t feel anything for her?” Handler asks, in the middle of the Yor section of one of his weekly reports on the family.

“Nothing,” Twilight replies. If he listens hard enough, he can almost hear the sound of a river roaring.

Hope this was a good read!!!!! Twilight feeling things is one of my favourite things to write lol. But yea there's a few more prompts left to write, I will write all of them eventually!

[daevolloqui]

we all have our personal headcanons that are more like delusions. i have two:

Loid Forger from SpyxFam has green eyes. I don't care what the wiki or even the anime says. He has green eyes.

Naru from Ghost Hunt has indigo eyes. Again, I do not care about what canon says.

SWEET BRIAR ROSE: THE WOMAN WORTH A HUNDRED SOLDIERS (first part of the cruise arc yor! study version)

CHAPTER 5 — ( small place called paradise outside of town )

🏷️: yor character study, based on my personal interpretation, so don't read if it's not ur taste!, inspiration from cruise arc (43-57) spoilers, sorta mission 56-centric but diverges canon from there, red circus arc spoilers

2024 update: omg?!? a sweet briar rose update in 2024?! certainly won't be the last! :"D updated author's note will be at the beginning and end of the chapter. thank you for your support! <3

[piracytheorist]

Thank god this episode had a second part because holy shit did the first part make me feel icky.

I cannot for the life of me believe I've had manga readers try to justify Damian's behaviour and say he was never a bully, to my face, when they knew this part had taken place.

Ick.

Again, I'm pretty sure a lot of my negative feelings about Damian wouldn't be so strong if it weren't for people who have been so passionate about defending him to the point of telling me personally that calling Damian a bully is wrong and unfair and "upsetting" towards his fans.

And when they had already read this manga chapter? When they knew that this was an actual event that had taken place? And I was made to be the bad guy?

Fuck this shit.

Some Ideas for some drawings

So I've come to a decision

I'm not particularly happy with how Briar Rose is going. It feels daunting and even though I have an outline it's so...difficult to just sit down and write it. It took me SIX MONTHS to finish Chapter 2, and I'm already on the same path with Chapter 3.

I don't want this sword of Damocles hanging over my head. I genuinely like the idea of this story and I do want to finish writing it...but at this time it's turning into something I don't want to do.

So I am Temporarily unlisting it. Once I'm sure I have written what I want to be written (which, frankly, maybe the whole kabutal), I will repost it to AO3 for your enjoyment.

I truly appreciate your patience and interest in reading my story.

(As for BFIF, I'm slowly but surely chipping away at the Epilogue. I can't guarantee a timeframe, but I am working on it. And it will remain LISTED)
