#this is from Homare POV

[evanescentdawn]

cheering, hooting and clapping. I’ve WRITTEN. I feel so throughly like a writer back and im so beyond happy and this yukishima dynamic and yukio era is giving me life

"Ah, not that way!" Shima grabs his arm and deters him from where he was about to take a turn left. He grabs his arm so easily like Yukio had ever given him permission but he’s too exhausted to say something. It takes needless energy to argue with someone like Shima.

"Where are you taking me?" He still hasn't left go of his arm.

Shima gives him a grin. He's always grinning, what is he so damn happy about? Does he like being apart of Illuminati that much? For a double spy, Yukio really can't make sense of him.

"Homara-san asked for you. I think she's gotta something for us. A mission…?"

A mission.

An unpleasant feeling curled in his stomach. "Mission?" Yukio asks, "What mission?"

He told Lucifer he wasn't here to be apart of Illuminati. Made it explicitly clear. He's only here for the answers he desperately needs. He's been here for two days, to which they regrew his arm but said that the tests would wait, something had come up. Yukio can only imagine what would that be, knowing what's important to the Illuminati.

…And now Shima's taking him to Homare for a mission, apparently.

Is this why they gave him this outfit to wear?

Shima takes another few turns. He seems very familiar with this place. Yukio, for the little exploring he did, had gotten lost very easily though he would never admit it. Conveniently, there was always someone around to redirect him even though he never asked for it.

The unhidden eyes around the base aren't lost to him. Homare did tell him from day one — they're watching. A warning. Even if Yukio can't see the cameras, he knows they are there.

"Ah.. here we are!"

On a Flower Cafe Date Now - Part 1

*Director's default name as Izumi

―Room 201 (Night)―

Yuki: Hmm... Guess I’ll place these here.

Tenma: ...Hm? What’re those flowers?

Yuki: My sis gave them to me today.

Tenma: Huh, they’re pretty.

Yuki: What a shock. So you actually DO have the sensibility to appreciate flowers.

I thought you only have your eyes on bonsais.

Tenma: How rude of you!

―Courtyard (Day)―

Yuki: (There’s a lot of free time until the meeting with Sakyo...)

Hm?

Homare: How wonderful! Today is a perfect day for a tea party!

Tsumugi: I’m glad it’s sunny.

Izumi: This tea that Homare-san brewed for us is very delicious.

Muku: Huh? It’s Yuki-kun.

Yuki: What’s with the gathering.

Muku: We’re having a tea party right now. We’ve got some delicious snacks too so if you don’t mind, would you like to join us?

Yuki: ...Fine by me.

Izumi: There’s an empty seat here.

Yuki: Heeh... This table setting’s pretty cute.

Muku: It’s wonderful that the snacks are also flower-motif. Tsumugi-san shared some of the flowers blooming in the courtyard with us too.

Izumi: Kazunari-kun would be happy and say it’s very Instablammable if he were to see this.

Homare: Speaking of Inste, there is a project that you need to take photos for the promotion of the Actor’s Cafe, right?

Izumi: Yes, that’s right. Everyone is searching for their photo spot separately.

Tsumugi: Have you decided on where to take photos of yet, Yuki-kun?

Yuki: Not yet. I’ve tried to look for it but can’t find any good ones.

Tsumugi: I see, then how about this one cafe with many flowers?

Their main attraction is dried flowers, but they also have a menu with edible flowers too.

It’s been my favorite cafe recently.

It seems that you can also get to experience of arranging dried flowers there.

Homare: Oh, I know that cafe too.

According to my editor in charge, it is famous for its edible flower curry and crepes.

Izumi: A flower curry! I wanna go there...

Yuki: There it is, the Curry Alien.

Izumi: Won’t you pick this cafe as your photo spot?

Yuki: You just wanna eat the curry, right?

Izumi: Urk...

Yuki: I’ve got no other place to choose anyway, so it can’t be helped. I’ll go with you.

Izumi: It’s decided then!

―――

Waiter: Thank you for waiting, here is your Flower Crepe and Flower Curry~.

Izumi: Wow, there’s a lot of flowers on my curry...! How pretty!

Yuki: I’m having doubts whether you can really EAT that, with so many flowers on it.

Izumi: I’m sure it’ll be delicious since the spice has a nice aroma!

Yuki: Hey, don’t forget to take a photo.

Izumi: Oh, that’s right!

We’re gonna upload it to Inste anyway, so how about you try to do an Instablammable pose?

Yuki: Instablammable pose?

On a Flower Cafe Date Now - Part 2

__________________________

Izumi: I did some research beforehand. Here, look at this!

Some people post something like, “Feel free to use this photo for your (pretend) date”.

Yuki: I’ve seen it before, but... wasn’t this popular from quite a while ago?

Izumi: Urk...

Yuki: Well, I can give it a try.

Izumi: That’s great, Yuki-kun! Okay, so there’s something like this... a pose of feeding your partner and say “Aah”.

Yuki: Let’s see... The fork goes like this.

Here, say “Aah”.

How’s it looking?

Izumi: Looks good! I’ll take a photo now, okay?

*snap*

Yuki: Did you get it?

Izumi: Perfect! Look, it really feels like a POV that you’re having a date with Yuki-kun!

Yuki: ...Hm, you did a pretty good job.

Izumi: Haha, glad to hear that.

―――

Phew, that was so yummy~. Thank you for the meal!

Yuki: Thanks for the meal.

Izumi: Oh right, Tsumugi-san said that we can arrange dried flowers here.

Yuki: Seems like we can do that over there.

Izumi: You’re right! Since we’re here already, why don’t we try it as well?

Yuki: Sure, I knew you were gonna ask that.

―――

Izumi: Wow, there are many kinds of dried flowers than I thought!

Which one are you gonna choose-.

Yuki: The hue for this one look better than this one...

Izumi: (As expected from Yuki-kun. He’s making it very swiftly.)

What should I choose... Oh.

(...I think I’ll get these flowers.)

―――

...I’m done！

Yuki: Me too.

Izumi: Here, this one is for you.

Yuki: For me?

Izumi: Yup. We always exchange our creations whenever we’re making something together, so I thought I should do it this time too.

I tried making it with lilies again... Do you like it?

Yuki: ...Not bad. It’s very you-like.

Well, here’s one from me for you.

Izumi: Wow, it’s really cute! Even though they’re dried flowers, the colors are so vibrant...!

Yuki: Of course, I’m the one who made it after all.

Izumi: Thank you! I’ll treasure them with care in my room!

Yuki: Okay. ...Thanks as well, Director.

―Room 201 (Night)―

……

(Where should I put these dried flowers...)

Hmm... Guess I’ll put them next to the flowers my sis gave me.

(Oh, I gotta change the water before decorating.)

―――

Tenma: Phew... Another tiring day today, huh.

Hm? These flowers look kinda different than last night...

N-no way-!

Yuki: Oh hey, you’re back already.

Tenma: T-this is bad!!

Yuki: What’s wrong with you?

Tenma: The flowers you received last night, they dried up so quick-!

Yuki: Hah? What are you talking about?

Tenma: I’m saying that these flowers are withering!

Yuki: Honestly, what are you saying? Those are dried flowers.

Tenma: ...What?

Yuki: The ones that my sis gave me are here. I just went out to replace the water.

Tenma: S-say that even sooner! So confusing, you know that!

Yuki: They were still fresh until yesterday, so there’s no way they can suddenly wither that quick.

Tenma: Urk...

Yuki: Haha, that was so hilarious. Gotta tell this to Kazunari and the others.

Kazunari~.

Tenma: H-hey, stop it! You don’t need to go out of your way to tell those guys!

Story Clear!

Ask game! Ooh it has been a while, how about 🎉🎈anddd 💌? This is also a gentle reminder for myself to visit your AO3 account cause its been too long and I love your writing so much for that! Will drop by soon! <3

🎉how often do you celebrate completing & posting a work? how often do you give yourself the credit/validation that you seek from others when you post? (if you don't, you should!)

Is the relief of finally finishing a work not celebration enough XD /hj

🎈describe your style as a writer; is it fixed? does it change?

I feel like most of my fics have the same or similar writing style, but I also tend to absorb and replicate what I read so some of them probably reflect that. (On another note, I usually default to first-person POV for original works, but that feels wayy to weird for fanfic ;^^)

💌share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited!

Aaaaa I don't have any one-shots in my WIP folder ;-; ...the only thing I've got is some notes and outlines on a longfic where everyone in fuyugumi is a vampire except for homare (and they think he's a vampire too)

Thanks for the ask! <3

First lines meme

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line. Then tag 10 of your favorite authors!

Thank you @bluewindfall for tagging me! <3

I only have 15 works up as of yet, so I’ll bet putting the opening lines from those, as well as the opening lines from some wips to fill in the space ^w^

He came to visit her. (from Zerkalo)

Renzou can’t sleep. (from If you so asked, I’d tell you all my secrets in the dark.)

Saburouta Toudou is a worthless loser. (from Even a Worm Will Turn.)

Suguro Ryuuji sits at the desk of his dorm room. (from Speak fondly upon that memory;)

This isn’t so bad. (from Not so bad.)

Saburouta finds his fingers itching. (from As planned, as expected.)

Lucifer is in pain. (from Vi(t)a Dolorosa.)

Everything comes to an end, sooner or later. (from Corpus Fungoides.)

It’s all a little fuzzy, this far back in his memories… (from Monstrum Malum.)

So, sleep used to be a thing. (from Somnus.)

The day is sunny and a little breezy. (from Ad terram nullium.)

It’s a day like any other. (from Oh, my worst emotions.)

It’s the end of a day of endless chores and scrubbing floors and whining about it for Renzou. (from aranea et flamma)

Clouds. (from Clickflight.)

This life is different. (from Human(oid?))

Lucifer has come and gone from Assiah more times than any other Ba’al. (from a wip, currently titled Angina corporis persistens)

Homare Toudou is seven years old when she sees her dad kill her grandfather and uncles and everyone else in the house in cold blood. (from a wip, currently titled Some unholy thing that raised me)

Renzou is four years old. (from a wip)

Renzou sits outside Homare’s office, his foot tapping a rapid rhythm against the floor. (from a wip)

Between adjusting to Karura and adjusting to life on the Dominus Liminis, Saburouta is left feeling rather ill-footed and off balance. (from a wip)

I think my favourite is 10., the opening line for Somnus. It might just be because that’s one of my favourite fics that I’ve written, but there’s something about the tone of it that I enjoy a lot even this long after finishing it.

I can’t help but notice that all my opening lines are short and sort of bare-bones? Very simple, and doesn’t give much to go on for how the rest of the fic is going to go... I tend to open quite abrubptly, and my first priority is to get the setting and the character who it’s about down (I tend to stick to a single character’s pov for the entirety of a fic).

This was an interesting look into my own brain... :,D I’ll probably be a bit more conscious about my opening lines from now on...

Blue already tagged most of the authors i know ;3; so ahhh, if they want to do this, i tag @yuriotoko @dad-void @inuyoshie @blueexorshit @ari-no-exorcist  and if anyone else wants to do this? go ahead!! <3
