Holiday Previews

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas, everyone! I wasn’t able to get anything special like a fic or a piece of art done for today because of... well, a lot of things going on. HOWEVER. I still did want to do something special because I love my followers, and you guys deserve something nice.

So, under the cut -- because it got very long -- are previews for all the WIPs that I currently have open! They are for the main four projects I have on my masterlist. I’m hoping to get at least one o the publish or a decent chunk of them finished in 2023. Once again, happy holidays and I’ll see you guys in the next year!

Literal Theatre Kid Ren - Blooming Spring, Chapter 2

(As he goes about his work, he hears someone come up the steps and instantly regrets leaving the door open to air out the place. Sakuya is standing there now, looking sorta amazed.)

Ren: …hey.

Sakuya: Oh! Hey. We heard a bunch of noise up here. I didn’t think that you’d be up here cleaning, though.

Ren: This is kind of my room right now, so… yeah.

Sakuya: The attic? (Ren nods. He is just as surprised as he is. Apparently he didn’t know, either.) So… Hey, you go to Hanasaki?

Ren: Huh? (Ren looks down at the uniforms that he pulled out of his bag. Oh… right. He got expelled from school, so he has to go to a new one.) Uh, yeah.

Sakuya: That’s our school! Mine and Masumi-kun’s. (Masumi… Usui. That weird guy who seemed not too happy that Ren was here. They were going to go to the same school?) What grade are you gonna be in?

Ren: Second year.

Sakuya: That makes you the same age as Masumi-kun.

Ren: I guess… (And that means Ren really hopes that they aren’t in the same class…) Um, Sakuma-san… what are you doing up here?

Sakuya: Oh, right! The director told me to come and get you. Dinner’s ready. (Ren nods, dusting off his hands and follows Sakuya downstairs. When he gets there, the table is already set and everyone’s gathered. A few of them are already eating. Ren notes that Chigasaki is strangely absent… But that smell that’s hitting his nose and making his mouth water and stomach growl… it’s too distracting. Especially since now he realizes that he hasn’t eaten anything since yesterday.)

Izumi: Hey! (as Ren walks over to where the plates are set.) I called your mom, and she gave you permission to stay at the dorms. She was pretty relieved to hear that you were with us actually. (Ren raises a brow. Really? So his guardian had the nerve to tell his mother that Ren never arrived, but not to look for him themselves?) I still think that you should let her know that you’re alright yourself.

Ren: I will. (He takes the plate that she offers out to him.) Curry…?

Izumi: My speciality. I hope you like it!

Tsuzuru: Because you’ll be eating it every day from now on…

Izumi: I heard that. (Ren takes a bite, and it’s like heaven for his aching stomach.)

Ren: It’s delicious. Thank you, Tachibana-san. (Izumi grins warmly, putting Ren further at ease. Dinner proved to be a somewhat rowdy affair, full of chatter and someone having to go drop off a plate for Chigasaki since he didn’t end up showing. Ren was pretty sure that some of the troupe found it amusing how much he was able to eat that night, but he really didn’t care. The food was good, and he was starving.)

Tsuzuru: Don’t stay up too late, or you’ll get sick, alright?

Ren: Okay. Thank you. And thank you again, Tachibana-san.

Izumi: There’s no need to thank me. Anyone else would’ve done the same, I’m sure. (She’s pretty optimistic about that fact. Ren, on the other hand, not so much. He starts to head up to his room to turn in for the night.)

“Oh, and Ren?” Ren hummed, glancing at her from over his shoulder. “Welcome to the Mankai Company.”

Monsters and Magic - Lives on the Line; Winner Takes All, Chapter 3

"Uh, S-Senpai...!” stammered the boy, doing his best to wipe away the tear tracks that were on his face. Looking at him now, Shinjiro recognized him.

"You're that middle schooler, aren't you? The one I always see hanging around Aki after a boxing match." The boy swallowed something and hastily nodded. "It's the middle of the night. You shouldn't be out here."

"I... I could say the same for you, Senpai..."

Smartass.

Shinjiro: I’m out here because I have to be. Now what the hell are you doing here? (During the Dark Hour no less— ...it just hits Shinjiro that this kid must be a Non-Mortal if he’s survived for this long. The hour was almost up anyway. He sighs, shaking his head. Deal with that later.) Go home.

???: No! (He’s loud enough to make Shinjiro flinch. ...wait, was he freaking out? Over that?)

Shinjiro: Keep your voice down. Before you attract any more Shadows.

???: Sh-Shadows?

Shinjiro: Those things that attacked you. So go home before they do it again.

???: … (The boy just stands there, shaking and starting to hyperventilate.)

Shinjiro: Hey.

???: I don’t… I can’t go… I-It’s not that I can’t, I can but I just… I… I don’t want to—! I-I mean…

Shinjiro: … (He’s going to regret this.) Calm down.

???: "... it's ridiculous, really—"

Shinjiro: "Not if it makes you afraid to go home."

???: "Who said I'm afraid?! I'm not afraid! Why would I be scared to go home?!"

Shinjiro: "I don't know. You tell me."

???: "...I... I-I had a fight with my mother. Nothing else."

Shinjiro: You’re scared to go home because of that?

???: … (He curls up tighter on the sidewalk. Holy shit, this kid is really scared, isn’t he?) ...Are you like me?

Shinjiro: Huh?

???: I used magic and you didn’t freak out. You have to be like me.

Shinjiro: Kind of, yeah.

???: ...I accidentally used magic on her during our fight. She got mad, so I ran. ...She’s probably still furious at me, and I don’t… I’m terrified of what she’s going to do to me when I do go home… I don’t want to…! (Fuck.

Shinjiro: Come on, get up.

???: Huh?

Shinjiro: You can’t stay out here all night. Come on. Unless you wanna get attacked again, then you’re coming back with me.

???: Thank you! Thank you so much, Senpai! (The boy tries to stand, his knees shaking. Shinjiro has to carry him. How much had this kid run that he was still tired?)

Shinjiro: You gonna tell me your name or do I gotta call you ‘kid’ for the rest of the night?

???: Oh… It’s Mochizuki. Ryoji Mochizuki…

Monsters and Magic - Free To Be Me, Chapter 1

Yu: I’m… not really hungry. Sorry. Do you think your dad would mind if I headed to bed early? (Nanako shakes her head, and Yu gets up. He feels kind of bad leaving Nanako down there like that, but… he just doesn’t know what to do.

(He heads up to his room — bare and filled with boxes that were sent on ahead — and falls into a fitful sleep after letting his parents know he’s arrived just fine and settling in like he promised. His dream takes him to the last thing that he wants to be at.)

(Vicious shadows clawing at a figure, the sound of shrill screams, a mad person’s cackle as someone was swallowed by the darkness. Yu was beginning to feel sick, unable to move from where he was standing or do anything to stop what was happening in front of him despite someone’s cries for help.)

(And like that, the vision shatters like someone taking a bat to a window. He opens his eyes again and is in an area covered in a thick fog. All Yu can do is move forward.)

???: Do you seek the truth? (Yu falters when he hears a voice.) If it’s the truth you desire, please… Come and find me. (Curious, Yu proceeds on forward. There’s a ghost-like figure in the distance. He runs towards it, only for the fog to thicken around him.)

???: So, you’re the one who’s trying to break through, hm? (It’s a different, more malevolent voice than before. It laughs.) Try all you like.

Yu: Who…? What’s going on? Who are you?! (He reaches out, trying to get to the figure he sees, but they’re violently jerked away with a scream.)

???: You can still see, despite the fog? ...interesting. (Yu’s eyes narrow, and he runs forward to try and find whoever was calling out to him.)

Yu: Come back!

???: You cannot catch me that easily. The truth? Haha… if that is what you seek, then your search will only be in vain! (The fog around him grows thicker and thicker to the point where it’s almost suffocating. There’s a heavy static that clings to Yu’s clothes as everything around him becomes a haze. He can’t see, and that scream. It makes the static field forming around him almost hard to bear.)

Yu: Please… I can’t… (It feels like there are hands choking him.)

???: Everyone only sees what they want to. And when that happens, the fog grows thicker. Hmhm… I look forward to seeing the inevitable battle, Young Witch. And your inevitable demise! (Something leaps out at him from the fog, pinning Yu down and pulling him into the abyss. He screams as the world around him goes dark.)

RWBY in My Hero - Day By Day, Chapter 20

Blake: This. This is why I didn't go visit Yang. I am done seeing my friends... seeing her get hurt because of me.

Tamaki: Belladonna—

Blake: Do you think I like being alone?! That I like distancing myself like this?! You, Togata, Jaune, Hadou, Ruby... you're all my friends and you all were hurt. But it was my fault that Yang got hurt! Do you know what that does to somebody?! I...! I realized something while down there during the raid, trying to stop her from bleeding and praying to any god that she would survive. I love her like I never thought I could love anyone. And I hope she hates me for this.

Tamaki: You don't mean that.

Blake: Yes, I do! (Her voice is forceful enough to make Tamaki jump back. Blake leans over the railing, her head in her hands.) Everyone thinks that they can make this all better, but they can't. Yang lost her arm and it's all my fault. But never again. You're all better off without me. I made my choices and I'll deal with the consequences because they belong to me. No one of you should have to deal with it.

Tamaki: ...you think you're being selfless, don't you? But what you're actually being is selfish. Yeah, Yang got hurt. But you know what she told Mirio about what happened? She said that she would do it all over again if it meant protecting you. (Blake turns to face the two as Tamaki walks out on the balcony.)

Blake: She...? (She looks down.)

Tamaki: I blamed myself for what happened with Mirio at first. I thought that if I had gone with him, he wouldn't have gotten hurt. When I told him this, he told me that it wasn't my fault. He would've made the same choice had I been with him either way. He actually said that he was glad that I wasn't with him. If I had been, I might've gotten shot again and lost my Quirk permanently this time.

Blake: I'm not you, and Togata isn't Yang.

Tamaki: I know. But it helps prove my point. You can make your own choices, Belladonna, but you can't make ours. When someone fights for you, it means that they want to.

Blake: But people who get close to me only get hurt! What about that don't you get?! I'm better off alo—

Tamaki: Shut up! Don't you get it?! Yang may have gotten injured, but staying away is hurting the both of you more than losing her arm! Stop pushing us out! Trust me, that hurts more than anything any villain could ever do to us!

Blake: ...

Tamaki: I... I'm sorry. If it makes you feel better, I'll tell Yang you're not feeling well. It gets me out of a lot of stuff. (He turns to go back inside.)

Blake: ...thanks, Amajiki. But... I think I'll be fine.

Tamaki: ...alright. ...I'm sorry for yelling.

Blake: No. I... I needed that.

Ripple in a Legacy - Roundabout, Chapter 20

Eleonora: Nonno—

Lorenzo: Go ahead. I’ll allow it just this once since neither Robert or myself can do anything. (Joseph makes a move to go after Caesar, but Eleonora is quicker and easily stands in his way. She draws in a breath, Hamon crackling at her hand as she catches him at the back of his neck, sending a shock through his system that’s enough to stun him momentarily.)

(Caesar chuckles, almost proud. Eleonora glances over at him. He’s not behaving any better.)

Caesar: Like I said, your Hamon is weak. It doesn’t amount to either of ours. (Eleonora sighs. She feels Joseph tries to push past her and towards Caesar, but he’s not going to get by so easily. She grabs him by the shirt, and using his own weight against him, tosses him into the fountain. As she does, though… Joseph forces something crackling with Hamon into her mouth.) What did I tell you? My grandfather might still be alive if yours hadn’t gotten in the way!

Lorenzo: Caesar, that is not true and you know that it is. (Caesar clicks his tongue. Eleonora doubled over, choking on what was in her mouth.)

Caesar: Nora? (One of the pigeons erupts from her mouth as she harshly coughs. The bird stuns Caesar, smacking him in the face and sending him back and stumbling into the fountain with Joseph.)

Joseph: While she was throwing me, I charged that pigeon with Hamon and jammed it into her mouth. I knew that you would get close to her eventually, especially with that display you put on back at the hotel. Sorry that you had to play the part of my assistant, miss!

Speedwagon: Joseph Jonathan Joestar!

Joseph: What?! (And this might just be the last straw. Anger burning in his eyes, Caesar claps his hands together before pulling them apart as he leaps back to get a bit of air. Soapy water oozes from his gloves, creating one long bubble trapping a dozen more that connects his hands together.)

Caesar: I’ll knock you back into the countryside that you came from, Joestar! Meet my Bubble Launcher! (Infusing the bubbles with Hamon, he sends a flurry of them towards Joseph with enough force to send him flying backwards. They wrap themselves in a larger bubble that traps Joseph. As Eleonora recovers, she can hear people whispering around them. And they’re saying several things that she’d rather not be hearing.) I’m impressed that you’re still conscious. But your Hamon will never be able to pop that bubble. Your breathing is all over the place. Enjoy your new prison, Joestar. (Speedwagon sighs, looking tired.)

Speedwagon: What a day…

Joseph: …and next, you’ll say ‘Nora, are you insane?!’ (Caesar glares at him as he goes to help Eleonora back onto her feet. She sighs, pulling away from Caesar and walking over to where Joseph is trapped. She draws in a breath, channeling her Hamon into her finger and having it repel Caesar’s. By doing so, when she taps the bubble, it pops.)

Caesar: (as Joseph lands on his ass with a short ‘oof’) Nora, are you insane?!

Eleonora: No.
