Hii, if ya feel up to it could you write some comforting headcanons for Yasuo and Talon? They need some good hugs but honestly what league champion doesn't

(if you feel like writing for others too go for it, I like to read anything you make)

✦–Comforting them headcanons.✦ (SFW)

✦Hurt/comfort, because they also deserve a hug. A lot of hugs. Every single one of them.

✧ prompt: ✧ hurt/comfort.

✧ champions: ✧ Talon, the Blade’s Shadow; Yasuo, the Unforgiven; Cassiopeia, the Serpent’s Embrace.

✧ reader: ✧ gender neutral.

✧ author’s note: ✧ oh, dear readers and anons, you don’t even know how appreciated I feel whenever you send me some positive energy or compliments, haha! Every time it’s so adorable, I couldn’t feel any better. Thank you for everythig, especially since english is not my first language, so. I basically have no idea what I am doing. Ah, but apart of this anecdote, the reader is really into self care, but I think it shouldn’t be a problem since we are doing a comforting post.

masterlist

✦Talon, the Blade’s Shadow.

He left his blade by the door, because he would never want you to see it in the comforting space of your home, begrimed with blood and disgustingly obscure.

He has lost his prey. His target fleed - he failed; he didn’t manage to complete the only merit of his life that he truly named his own, his passion and devotion, the thing he has been created to do.

If he fails in something so elementary, a thing fankled into his soul and his whole being, an aspect pierced into his heart, then what is his worth?

You spotted his inconvenient posture imidiately, sensing an unnatural twist in his mood, so used to his everyday harshness, enriched by a little bit of sweetness towards only your person. But this time he was different - apathetic with stilted aura of dullness around. Talon let himself tiredly slide on your shared bed, ignoring you just because of the guilt that has been oppressing his heart.

And you, instead of letting him perish alone, you offered him your silent comfort - just yourself by his side. You sat there, your head on his shoulder, gentle touch of your hand on his back, maybe even the tip of your fingers making little circles, massaging.

You asked him what happened, though for the most of the following time you remain quiet, relishing the moment, only you two as the centre of the universe.

But he still felt the enveloping sensation of the failed mission, a feeling he had never experienced before; he has dishonoured his sacred mission. Should he be allowed to feel comforted after a mistake so unforgivable? If he could, he would wear the disgrace as a punishment, visible and vociferous, so everyone would see his shamefull attempts to find comfort in someone else, unworthy of it and pathetic.

Talon was always a mysterious person, but you were like a stronghold for him - it wasn’t a long time until you heard these thoughts of his vocalized out loud, honest and brutal. He murmured them into your ear, while you listened silently, cherishing this sacred moment of his true, intimate self, the person behind the blade.

His thoughts seemed like a form of self-flagellation, noxious and malign. Something pitiful that made your eyes wet, little droplets settling on your eyelashes.

You couldn’t listen to him anymore, saying those denigrating and disgusting statements about himself. All it was untrue, made from the years of abandonment and loneliness, and you were positive to cure it.

But how many times more will you hear him saying that his name doesn’t matter? That as an assasin he is not a human being - he is just a blade that cuts efficiently, deeply and terminally.

“I couldn’t wish for a better person in my life than you, love.” You beggined with you voice brittle, like you were telling him a unconfronted secret. “There is nothing that could make me feel even slightly different. I love you the same amount, as you should love yourself.”

Your words were prosaic, menial. But these were honest promises of adoring him countlessly times, endlessly and for eons, until he comprehends the feelings you wanted him to nurse not only for you, but also himself.

And at some point Talon chuckled, though it wasn’t a sign of joy - it was depressing, unnatural. He tried assuring you that it wasn’t a problem big enough to enwrap you, his beloved one, in - but you could sense his poignant sadness running through his body, just like you could feel his pulsing heart or heavy breath.

You promised him to dedicate to him all of your time, just to assure Talon in his human ability to make mistakes, even so meaningful; to help with his low esteem, even if he firmly disagreed to have anything to do with the mythical term of the mentioned ’low esteem’.

You wrapped your hands around him, tigh and lovely, planning on imprisoning him in a cage made of adoration from someone, who could gave him the comfort he deserved.

Talon left his blade by the door as a symbol of rejection - he rejected the person beyond this place, the one who covered his face with a hood, exchanging him for a more relaxed one, the one made from flesh and honest feelings, the real ones, the right ones, and the absolutely normal ones.

✦Yasuo, the Unforgiven.

As we know, Yasuo escaped Ionia after the unfortunate tragedy that led him despair.

He was lost and longing for a company, though he stated out loud that he didn’t want anyone nerby - he was still too fragile, still in shock of the brutal act he allowed himself to do, bewildered, horrified by himself.

He didn’t want to hurt another human being again. He didn’t want to accompany yet another person, only to betray them nor to give up on them. Another loose would be too painful, too demolishing.

For them, of course. He thought he could handle all of this crushing on his mind.

But Yasuo wouldn’t survive seeing his acquaintance being betrayed by him, once again.

He wasn’t eager to befriend new people here, in Bilgewater; he didn’t seek anyone particular. You found him by yourself, and soon became his only comfort in those times, only way to drift his depressing thoughts away.

And even though it was admirable, your acts of desperate tries, as he considered you as the most valued person in his life, you knew he shouldn’t be feeling so much pain. It could broke even the toughest weilder. His nailed heart pulsing right in his chest was aching and trying to free itself every time Yasuo bestowed you with his deep, sad eyes.

He suffered in silence, though he claimed that you were the only cure for this desease that was gutting his body.

You could name this curse - it was guilt in its purest form. And you were determined to free Yasuo from it.

At some point, he must have opened himself before you, render a vivisection of himself, show you his insides and the putridity that has enveloped his heart and soul. Something you should despise, scream and shout at the sight of, bewildered and cheesed.

But instead of pushing him away as he expected, almost desired, instead of feeling overwhelmed by the emotions he had dropped on your shoulders, you hugged him tightly, the words of comfort pouring from your mouth.

”That wasn’t your fault.” ”You regret this, and you are not the same person you were back then.” ”That was an accident.” ”You are always there for me - let me be here for you now.”

So he declaimed the weight of the world like a poem. About his past and his brother, who has lose to his blade in the accident. You cried with him, mixing your own tears with his own, brushing his problems and concerns off.

You couldn’t even imagine how deeply was he hurt. But humans tend to crawl for the concept of empathetic co-suffering; it makes them feel understood and is crutial when it comes to comforting, therefore it was enough for him: getting the heavy burden off his own mind, sharing it to the world, admitting that he had commited something unforgivable.

You forgave him, though he has never hurted you. But any mercy given from a human being was a relief for Yasuo.

✦Cassiopeia, the Serpent’s Embrace.

Cassiopeia didn’t need your comfort. She despised it. It made her look pathetic and weak, even if she already looked miserable as half a serpent.

But she was a proud woman, a lover of many in her halcyon days of glory. Everyone longed for her and everyone needed her like an antidote for a deadly poison. It was a desire not in a lovely, romantic way, but in a frantic, melodramatic and amusing form of begging for sparing a life.

She manipulated the whole nation of pathetic Noxians into her hands, toyed with them on one of her palms, treating those little figures like ants, just simple pawns on the board that she created from her life. She would be considered infantile if anyone knew what a little mouse wanted to adhere to her, hug her scaled waist and tell her that… she deserved love.

Of course she did! You should have seen her when she was still human, not an abomination, just a twisted figure of her past self.

”No, I am not thinking like this of myself, little mouse. Do not approach me, we can bargain from a distance-”

She would admire your confidency with honesty, if only you weren’t so… clingy. Your hugged her in a devoted way that spoke without words - that you will always follow her as her dearest worshipper, even if she turned into something more fearsome than a half-snake. Even if she turned into a sculpture, you would attend her every day.

Cassiopeia indeed had to admit to herself, in her own convoluted way of a serpent, that your confession made her feel better. Like she had one person that was truly her admirer, not just another human she led on and wrapped around her claw, ready to allure and use. And that her little mouse was kind of adorable; more like a pet, but at least a faithful one.

It was a change of perspectives for her, a phenomenon that made her smile softly, her hand slidding from the top of your head to your back, where she pushed you closer, admiring and loving.

A Mini Rant about Yasuo’s Lore and what could be done with it

There were so many missed opportunities here and examples Riot could have drawn from, and I’m gonna lay it out.

The main problem is that Yasuo’s story premise was based on him being ‘The Unforgiven’, and through progressing his story via Confessions of a Broken Blade and Yone’s return, in order to have that same conceit he can never fully forgive himself, and therefore literally every story arc he has gotten since Spirit Blossom had been him learning to forgive himself again and again and again. Ruined King did it, the Yasuold skin is implying it, Riot won’t let him do anything else.

And I just. Ok there are ways to do this and I think the premium example to point to is Graves.

Graves was also released with a specific concept; he was hunting Twisted Fate for revenge. That was his whole thing. And in Burning Tides, he actually confronts Twisted Fate and moves his story forward. Riot would’ve been arguably more justified in keeping Grave’s lore state the same than in Yasuo’s case, but no; he and Twisted Fate legitimately start working together again and their story permanently moves forwards after that. And just - Yone’s release and the whole Spirit Blossom event was PERFECT to do that for Yasuo.

Imagine if Yasuo decided to hunt the Azakana with his brother - maybe in an effort to redeem himself in his own eyes even if Yone doesn’t want him dead, maybe to help his brother learn what he’s become, there’s many reasons why he would do this. Imagine a Demon Hunter Yasuo lore skin that shows him in a better mental place, travelling alongside Yone killing Azakana. Honestly you could make that happen in current lore - it would not be hard to have the brothers meet each other again. But just - do ANYTHING with him, have Yone’s return MEAN something. Yasuo is a popular champion and a lore update like that could be a great marketing ploy as well, if we’re also thinking from the business side of things.

Another option would’ve EASILY been giving him a Sentinel skin. The event kind of sucked, yes, but there was legitimate set-up for him to be there. As it is, he returns Braum to the Freljord and then goes to free Riven… only for the Sentinels to get there first. The Sentinels could’ve burst in mid-jailbreak with both Yasuo and Riven there, and there’s no reason for Yasuo NOT to join them if that happens. Again, missed lore skin potential for a popular champion (I do not count Sea Dog Yasuo, that’s just… ok why? Sentinel would’ve been a better fit), he would’ve been an interesting personality to add to the mix, and if he returns with Riven to their village at the end of it, it could’ve been an ACTUAL book-end to his character arc with him CHOOSING to return to his hometown instead of staying the wanderer.

Either of these could’ve actually done shit with him but. Eh. Anyways I have brainrot so I may actually end up drawing either a Sentinel or Demon Hunter Yasuo for the fun of it. Probably Demon Hunter, I have a way you could theoretically get him to that point from his current place in the story so. Anyway.

yasuo and ahri are not ship bait they are not fanservice they are LITERALLY!!!!! FUCKING MEANT FOR EACH OTHER. they are the only people who can understand each other’s pain. who can help the other get better. the only sides of this argument ive seen are “they’re only in ruined king and together because they’re popular, conventionally attractive characters” and “they like each other because they’re nice to each other” and, while both of these statements are fact, they do not in any way fully encompass their relationship.

first, we have to understand that yasuo and ahri’s relationship is about recovery. even putting the fact that ahri’s character serves as an allegory for addiction aside, we know that they are both deeply, deeply traumatized and mentally ill people. first of all, at several different points across league canons we can see that they suffer from severe post-traumatic nightmares.

second, they share very negative, unhealthy mentalities: they’re plagued by guilt, loneliness, utter hopelessness about their future, and self-deprecation because they believe their pasts to be entirely their fault, despite them being, largely, simply accidents or bad luck.

so they are both suffering people. this on its own is not really significant: virtually every league champion is traumatized in some way or another. but the thing that really drives the importance of their relationship home is the fact that their stories are just…fundamentally so similar.

yasuo and ahri are both people who have been ostracized from society their entire lives. yasuo was always seen as fundamentally “different” from other children, never fit in right, and was too wild for the people of his temple (which has a lot of implications. but that’s an entire other can of worms)—and when he was older, he was shunned as a criminal, and then, even after his name was cleared, as untrustworthy. and though she belonged at the beginning of her life, leaving her tribe meant leaving the safety and stability of vastayan civilization for the oppression and ridicule of the human one.

but even despite all this, the two of them always had someone who would be there for them: yone and ahri’s lover, of course. these were the only two people who understood them. who reassured when it came to their faults, who were always there for them. their family. and, of course, the two of them died by yasuo and ahri’s own respective hands. and so ahri and yasuo are all alone in a world that wants them dead, where they belong nowhere and have no one, where they blame themselves so deeply for everything that has happened to them that they cannot live with themselves. yasuo turns to alcoholism for comfort. ahri isolates herself so she will never harm anybody again. at least yasuo has taliyah for a short while, but it is inevitable when she leaves, too, reminding him that she will always have a family to protect, to come home to, and he never will again. they are so lonely and, in their minds, so deeply irredeemable, that they cannot form real connections with anyone.

and so their chance meeting is so fucking incredible for the two of them because they KNOW the feelings that the other is going through. they understand. and the thing is that their initial opinions of each other are not built off of the reductionist boxes that society has built both of them into: ahri does not know that yasuo is the unforgiven murderer because she does not spend time with humans. yasuo does not know that ahri is a vastaya because she is deliberately concealing her appearance. these are the two things that have MADE them so alone all of these years, and yet they get to know each other and learn to care for each other without these barriers in the way. and when they DO find out it means nothing, because they know what it’s like to be so isolated, and they will not martyr the other—even if they do it to themselves.

ahri goes to bilgewater to find out more about her family. yasuo leaves ionia because he is no longer shackled by his brother’s ghost now that he knows yone has returned to the living realm, NOT because he no longer feels guilt. ahri hires a bodyguard to keep her in check so she will not hurt humans upon her reintroduction to society. their meeting is purely coincidental.

and. of course. at the heart of the matter. they do “like each other because they are nice to each other.” because they have not felt kindness like that in so, so fucking long. they are the only people who show each other that gentleness. yasuo had taliyah but she was just a kid, a girl who was lost and lonely who he had to take care of. yasuo and ahri can take care of each OTHER. when ahri gets overwhelmed he is not afraid to touch her, ground her, ask her what’s wrong. when she brings up her loneliness he is the first to say you are not alone because we are here with you—i am here with you. when he fights his brothers ghost she knows what is happening right away. she knows he will be fine. she trusts him to make it out.

and i think that ahri saying that he reminds her of her dead lover is not superficial or clichéd—it shows how deeply they understand each other. yasuo is bitter and sad and lonely, sarcastic and oftentimes sardonic, but we know he wasn’t always like this. as a child he was overexcited, confident, young and free and loved his brother. he still is that person, in a way: deep down he is gentle. he treats his elders with respect and care. he finds a lost taliyah and his first instinct is to take care of her, to make up for failing his brother by saving her. he does not hate riven even after he finds out the truth, because he, too, knows the power misfortune can have. and ahri REALIZES all of this. BECAUSE THEY LOVE EACH OTHER. HE REMINDS HER OF HER DEAD LOVER, WHO WAS OUTWARDLY KIND AND GENTLE, BECAUSE SHE KNOWS WHO HE IS ON THE INSIDE. THE PERSON HE HAD TO BOTTLE UP TO COUNTERACT A DECADE’S WORTH OF LONELINESS. AND HE FINDS OUT WHAT SHE’S DONE AND HE ISNT AFRAID. BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHO SHE REALLY IS, TOO. HE KNOWS WHAT HER HEART IS MADE OF. HOW LOVING IT REALLY IS.

and, yes, it IS a little bit stupid that they’re in ruined king. i don’t necessarily think that their character growths relied on traveling to bilgewater; they easily could’ve been handled differently. and, yes, maybe they were initially paired up because they’re popular, attractive characters. but this is so small. so insignificant. when you consider what makes their relationship special. they are just what the other needed. they are what they need to heal. to look to the future with hope. and that means so much

#killign myself #anyways yeah guess who just watched nickybois ahri review and had thoughts #i love him but like he is wrong. sometimes.#they are soooooofucking important to me ohmygod U DONT GET THEM LIKE I DO😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 NKBODY DOES😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭#bisexuals rule the world etc etc thank u for reading. godbless.#ahri #yasuo #league of legends #ruined king #myne #01

Watari hadn't been hunting actively for Yasuo for a while. It had been his obsession only a few years ago. Trying to bury what he'd gone through by focusing on something else. Wanting to force the deserter to feel the guilt Watari had been feeling about his own failure.

With the help of Poof and some friends, he had given up his hunt for some time, almost forgetting about it until recently. Rumours had spread in some backwater towns and he couldn't help but feel his gut twist as those memories flooded back. And thus, had he decided to follow those leads with the help of his ioninu.

"Poof, are you smelling it? Are we close?"

He asked the dog on which he rode. Large enough to carry a human or two but with a personality more gentle than a cloud, Poof borked softly. "Good."

Poof picked up speed, nearing their prey. Watari's palms started to sweat. What could he expect? No, he had to keep his head on straight. Confront him. Take him back. Be celebrated. Be rid of your guilt.

"Yasuo!" Watari called out as he spotted the wanderer. That ponytail stuck out like a sore thumb. "I have come for the unforgiven!"

Watari dismounted Poof and motioned for his pet to step aside, a safe distance away. Poof reluctantly obeyed, his hair raised but mostly focusing on Watari.

"Face me!"

☽ 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬

name : alune.

nickname : lunie, lune ; moonbeam ( by @fcrgiven ).

gender : female, albeit being detached from her physical form made her indifferent towards it, thus she considers herself more or less nonbinary ( &&. uses both she / her and they / them pronouns ).

romantic orientation : panromantic, she's also pansexual!

preferred pet names : anything moon and night related ; cute &&. cutie will make her melt. all princesses, queens, goddesses and angels too, though it's very much verse dependent.

relationship status : verse dependent, but by default in a relationship ( more like complicated situationship ) with @fcrgiven's yasuo. there are also other very, very, very important connections : despite her somewhat one - sided crush, she can develop feelings for other persons, @withinchains' kayn for example :) i usually write alune as obsessed with the unforgiven &&. oftentime sad that her feelings aren't noticed or reciprocated, which opens many ways to other characters to comfort lunie or help her deal with her fascination. that gives alune a wholly new perspective on certain aspects to romantic conections and can lead to changing her mind regarding her partner - to - be. other notable relationships include a very private romance with @deadn30n's yone, kept secret from everyone : the band, the public, the press. and also!! i'm plotting a little bit with @oriphical........

opinion on true love : i know these are romantic headcanons, but romance aside — isn't alune's and phel's love the truest? she's experiencing the purest kind of affection on a daily basis, all the time, every second. for her not to believe in the concept would be insane.

opinion on love at first sight : yes, yes, yes! alune's a seer, a future teller, so i believe she can fall in love seeing someone for the first time because it would also be easy to see their future together!!

how ‘romantic’ are they? : very. period. she's a dramatic soul, seeking deep connections and bonds — though in her own way.

ideal physical traits : she's fond of guard dogs — bigger, taller, scarier, contrasting to her fragility ( basically, able to protect her physically ).

ideal personality traits : she adores possessiveness and dominance that easily turns into submission at her request. loyalty is a must and so is endless devotion.

unattractive physical traits : none?

unattractive personality traits : stupidity.

ideal date : talk to her, spoil her, adore her — more than usually, and she'll be content.

do they have a type? : as mentioned above, but i'll say it again : guard dogs. one that are submissive in a way a livestock guardian is submissive to the sheep it protects. someone who would willingly do anything for her without her uttering a word. strong persons : be it physically or mentally, though she leans into the former.

average relationship length : very dependent, as i haven't explored many relationships with alune yet, but i headcanon them to be long lasting ; if alune places her feelings onto someone, it's not easy for her to stop adoring them.

preferred non - sexual intimacy : physical touch — guiding her through a crowd, holding her hand, stroking her hair ; anything that screams " she's mine! ", even though it's her who's the owner in the end :)

opinion of public affection : yes, yes, yes!! alune loves being worshipped and treated with adoration shamelessly, no matter where she is and with whom.

past relationships? : another verse dependent subject, albeit in her modern verse, she had one. i say she wouldn't settle for anything less than princess treatment and nothing less than at least matches her brother's efforts, but in reality, alune tends to pick assholes : it wasn't a very long relationship, but it was very important. the heartbreak forever shaped alune's perception on relationships.

#i refrained from tagging anyone for this one as i tagged so many people in the other posts dhdfcbgb #thank you witches-and-weirdos #and fcrgiven #and withinchains #for tagging me here uwu #𝐈. about ☽ headcanons ( general )

Yasuo's Rapid Aging And Loss Of Memories

Yasuo looks a lot older than his actual age. While he is in his late twenties, approaching his early thirties, physically, he appears almost ten years older if not more. His thick, black hair is streaked with silver-grey strands, his skin is tougher on certain parts and his eyes seem to be permanently cast in shadow. His scar, going across the bridge of his nose, is more of a pale pink than the darker fuller magenta you might expect of it. There is a strange and haunted expression in his eyes like a man, who saw unexplainable things.

Yasuo does not look older for the mere weight of his experience. In actuality, the reason Yasuo looks way older than he actually is stems from the fact that the Vastaya Ahri regularly visits him and feeds off his life essence. In doing so, she rapidly makes him age as his days become increasingly numbered. However, for Yasuo that is not the worst part; the fact that Ahri is slowly killing him with her behaviour feels like a mild nuance compared to a far more sinister offence.

As Ahri takes away Yasuo's life essence piece by piece, she also takes away his memories. By now, most of Yasuo's childhood memories feel hazy and people are hard to distinguish. Yasuo can barely recall Yone's face when they were children and certain places offer him no recollection. He is just left with the empty feeling that there was something there but it has been taken from him. This is one of the major reasons why Yasuo is so depressed. He lacks his identity as a boy and now the unforgiven, dishonoured Ronin is the only foundation, he can build upon, and that makes it so very hard to see himself as anything but a bad man.

To deal with his slowly fading memories, Yasuo has started keeping an old, battered, leather diary. He always writes his feelings and thoughts of a day into it, going to great lengths to describe scenery and important people. Yasuo does this in the hopes that should Ahri claim his most recent memories, he has some way to keep a hold of his sense of self. The feeling of powerlessness when it comes to his own life and identity caused Yasuo to be incredibly jaded and in a general state of misery. Only a good and strong drink seems to lighten his mood.

The Dishonored Blade for the ask game!

again, also part of this ask game that i decided to take a hundred years to respond to. ha ha ha...

the origin of The Dishonored Blade was actually one that i've wanted to share for a while because i personally think that it was a neat thought process for me to follow. okay, so here goes:

the characters from the original League of Legends are Yone, the elder brother, and Yasuo, the younger brother, and their roles are taken by Aang and Zuko, respectively. what's interesting to note here is that in the original lore, Yasuo was a swordsman who could essentially control the wind - like an airbender, if you will. however, his temperament was impulsive, reckless, arrogant, and prideful - honor-driven, like a firebender.

i think it was that paradox that really drew me towards using Aang and Zuko as the two brothers in the lore, especially since Yasuo's personality resonated more with Zuko's despite being trained as a wind technique user. another thing to note is that in the original lore, Yasuo tends to run away from his problems, and people might initially ascribe that personality trait to Aang (especially pre-Book 1 Aang). however, when diving deeper into Yasuo's background, it's revealed that Yasuo runs from his problems due to his shame and guilt, going so far as to call himself "the Unforgiven" even when everyone else around him forgives him for his sins. and who is it in ATLA who has been plagued by his own shame and guilt, who had literally been told by Iroh himself that "Pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source"?

i don't know if this makes any sense at all, but it definitely does in my mind, and i'm actually really happy to finally share what had pushed me to write this fic!

@fcrgiven inquired:

he sits before a shallow grave marred by years of age, a gravestone well maintained to the best of his ability. the sound of rain is a cacophany of noise only combated by his mind. he prays, calloused and shaken hands clasped together. the original feeling of dirt beneath his nails as he dug the grave amidst a storm like this feeling remarkably new. "i wish you were still here," he mutters. though he doubts his brother is there to hear him. "i wish i had taken your place." yasuo weeps. the only vulnerability and show of pain he could muster; always in front of yone. "i miss you so much, brother."

it isn't a normal occurrence for him to want to visit his own grave, as it only serves as a harsh reminder of his past mistakes, his past failures. however, he happens to wander around there every once in a while, such as today, always wondering why his gravestone is so well-maintained even after all this time. and today is when he finally gets his answer, though it's not quite one that he expects to find. as he approaches the well-kept marker, the sight of his trembling, weeping brother comes into view.

he almost wants to laugh.

why, now, is yasuo saddened by his death ? isn't he the one that killed him ? if it wasn't for him, yone would still be there, right at his side. but stories don't always have happy endings. and the tale of the two brothers, one unforgotten, the other unforgiven, should have already ended by now. and yet . . . he still walks the same earth as him, though yone is merely a shadow of the man he once was. he silently slots himself next to the younger, saying nothing. just simply stares at the tombstone, doing his best to avoid any contact with yasuo.

even as a single tear runs down his face.

i missed you too, brother.

and yet that bitter, boiling anger still bubbles up inside of yone, akin to a volcano mere seconds from a catastrophic eruption. emotions mix and meld and spin, tugging his heart and mind in several directions at once. he doesn't know what to say, what to do, or what to believe, so opting for silence is his solution, even if it isn't really one. he's content to just . . . sit there.

#ic — all the living are dead & the dead are all living.#inbox — the messengers of death & beyond.#yone — the unforgotten.#fcrgiven #grief /#death /#fratricide ment /#ask to tag /
