My ghostface angel|Amber freeman x male reader

Y/N L/N and Tara Carpenter have always been so close since childhood,they meet when they where very young at school and became closer very quick,and their lifes where like that for years and years.

Tara always told you her problems,you did the same with her to make it fair.

You always listened to her and she loved you and you loved her.

However in a friends way.

You where Tara's only best friend in her life ,well *used*

One day Tara met a girl called Amber Freeman and they got closer almost inmediately,she always protected her,take care of her and loved her,like you did.

Amber always was so nice and protective to her,confronting anyone who messed with her.

She was increible with her,she opened her hearth for her.

However tara spent more time with amber causing you to dissapoint and feel lonely,even your other friends started to say that you where disgusted at amber and you hated her.

Well that wasn't the case...

Instead of jealousy,hate,hatred and envy you started to grown feelings for Amber,she was. Always so nice looking,awesome smelling and kind thay you can't simply stop thinking about her,Amber was stalking your feeling almost 24/7 and you really wanted to have something with her.

You then went to talk with Tara about Amber and you got the balls to tell her the truth about what you felt about Amber,Tara was surprised by that and she said a.

"I knew it" with a flirting smirk

"Ehhh... could you help me getting into her?"you said laughing a bit nervous

"Sure,i can make you guys get together asap"Tara said with a confident and proud smirk

You smirked back and talked with tara a bit before leaving.

THE NEXT DAY

The next day yoy wake up early to met with Tara and Amber in Tara's house to have a friendly talk and to make Ambr and i know each other better.

When u arrived i was sweating but i encouraged my feeling and eventually my time with Amber was nice and we became good friends,had a few beers,we told tara some jokes and laughed together.

I got her number too so we can have chats,and we had a chat that night.

A few weeks after me and Amber where already dating and just like with Tara she became protective and take care of me,i did the same and we where a pretty couple,she loved to cuddle while i loved more the kisses,her lips had a magical feeling and i enjoyed every time we kissed as if if was the first time,she also started to call me by many nicknames she liked such as "baby,honey,little cutie and that"my relationship was pretty good tbh i adored it snd i was feeling very good until i noticed that things started to get weirder....

Amber started to became more and more excited by something shw didn't told me

I didn't wanted to annoy her so i just let it continue,until a day Amber came very excited a told me to came to the park to meet a new friend of her she meet online.

A bit scared i accepted and went to the park,and i found her with a guy,he was called Richie.

In a 2 hour long talk they told me about the "stab" movies,i was a big fan of them and that was something me and Amber had in commoun,they told m about reliving the franchise by making a fan film with REAL murders.

I was freaked out but my desire to see our bellved franchise shine was bigger so i agreed.

So our journey started and we eventually became Ghostface,murdering people i gross ways,i usually tend to be the one killing in the most violent and bizarre ways.

Our plan was going really good and we had a pretty good number of victims so after succesing all our goal and have massacred the Carpenter sisters along with their friends Richie decided to take a break while me and my girlfriend decided to get our time

"You really did it perfect baby"Amber said smiling

"I knew you where gonna like it"i said grabbing her hips

"Hhmmm hon i love you so much"Amber said putting her arms around my neck

Whe kissed and it became a passionate kiss

She climbed on my lap and inserted her tongue on my mouth,i only did the same

As she was whimpering my name we continued to kiss,it felt amazing and very good

As amber started to rub my well you know.... with her hands i did the same in her down area.

We continued like this until without knowing we took off our clothes and the magic happened...

THE NEXT DAY

I woke up with Amber cuddled into me,sleeping peacefully,i started to caress her head until she woke up.

"Goodmorning baby" she said

"Goodmorning love" i replied

"Did yo had sweet dreams?"Amber asked me

"Im having the best right now"i replied with a small smile

Amber just smiled and laughed and started kissing me.

"I love you baby"

"Me too honey"

Arc 2.5

(Part 1) (foreword)

Spring, 2012. It’s a beautiful day, and Sarah Chu is deep underground, examining vats of electrically-charged nonthermal plasma with her closest friend-coworkers.

Ambre looks to be about two seconds away from breaking the glass cover and sticking her hands inside. “Would this stuff burn my hands off?” she asks morbidly.

“No, it’d probably evaporate into the air and you’d waste a million dollars,” Penwood says.

Ambre grins. “Cool.”

Secretary Malla stares at them. “Please do not break the glass.”

Today’s primary task is a brief day-trip to Bright Industries. The company is both a top financial backer for the FHTC and an important supplier, providing a key component for Sarah’s patented Talent suppressor tech. Talent Plasma. Its formula is complicated, finicky, and vague; even Sarah and Penwood, the ones who refined it, have not been able to puzzle out the exact nature of its one secret ingredient.

Well, as long as they can use the stuff without burning their hands off.

Last week, Bright Industries requested Sarah’s presence. She pays them annual visits, and though this year’s trip has come a little early, it’s been standard thus far. She’s toured the facilities, now all that’s left is to hold a conference with the company’s top brass about her latest work on Talent suppressor tech.

She asked Penwood to accompany her, and Ambre was allowed to tag along after complaining of boredom.

It’s best to keep her from getting too bored.

Sarah can admit that the day hasn’t been completely routine, which is a nice change of pace. The CEO of Bright Industries retired recently, passing on the torch to his son. The staff has clearly gone through a bit of upheaval. Sarah feels sorry for those who were fired, but it’s always nice to meet new faces. Well, usually.

Secretary Sarah Malla is new. Their first meeting left something to be desired.

Speaking of Sec. Malla… She steps forward and clears her throat. “Our tour has ended. The board is ready to see you.”

“Great!” Sarah says, trying her best. Malla doesn’t bat an eye, just silently leads them to the elevator and inputs the proper passcodes. Penwood has to tear Ambre away from the plasma vats.

---

They enter the main conference room. As with the past ten rooms, Ambre charges in first, excited to be somewhere new, and Penwood fruitlessly attempts to hold her back by the scarf. For once, Sarah feels a little unprepared for her meeting with the company’s CEO. Her heart rate picks up.

Penwood stays dead silent. Sarah inwardly sighs, stepping forward to shake Bright’s hand. “Yes, of course. I’m Dr. Sarah Chu, and you’ve certainly made an impression, Mr. Bright!” Maybe her grip is a bit strong, because Bright winces.

“But, you…” he trails off, glancing between her and Penwood.

“What?!” Penwood snaps. “Talk to the woman you invited.” He clicks his tongue and drops into an open chair. Ambre does the same, grinning eerily. Bright bares his teeth in an awkward smile.

Contrary to a certain executive, Sarah came prepared for the visit, with a suitcase full of her latest prototypes. And yet, despite the rocky start, Bright and the other board members are an eager audience, much more so than the previous board ever was. They ask lots of interesting questions, acknowledge and admire the effort she’s put into her work. Sarah’s mood is looking up, and by the end of the presentation, she’s pretty pleased.

“We’re out of time,” Penwood points out, eyeing his watch. Sarah holds back a sigh. Too bad.

“It was nice meeting you all!” she says, packing up. “We look forward to your continued generosity.”

Bright beams. “About that…”

Oh no.

Sarah scans the room. At some point, the security guards must’ve moved, because they’re currently covering all the available exits. It’s a bit much for a simple intimidation tactic.

So this is more than simple intimidation.

“What the hell, Agent?!” Penwood jumps up and hisses at Ambre. “You just been sleeping over there??”

Ambre giggles, inordinately pleased. She was getting bored, Sarah realizes, and she allowed them to be surrounded in an attempt to spice things up.

“Please, there’s no need to panic,” Bright says. He sounds perfectly cheerful, and it’s starting to get annoying. “Just a few more minutes of your time. I’d like to make you an offer, Ms. Chu.”

Doctor. She wants to correct him, but the words are stuck in her throat along with her heartbeat.

“Your work has greatly impressed us. Lately—under new leadership, one might say—my company seeks to move in a fresh direction. Hmm, how should I put this?” Bright taps his pearly-white grin in thought, then claps. “Essentially, we’d like to commercialize your inventions! The suppressor tech.”

“It’s not for sale,” Sarah manages, her voice coming out rough—like it always does when she’s frustrated. “I didn’t make this stuff for you to shove it in the hands of anyone and everyone. It’s gotta be regulated. And the FHTC provides that regulation already.”

Penwood makes a doubtful noise. Sarah shoots him a glare. Can he not undermine her argument, please??

“You won’t make much money with principles like that,” Bright chuckles. It’s infuriating.

Sarah isn’t the most righteous person in the world. In fact, she wouldn’t even call herself the most righteous person in the room. But she’s decent enough to understand that—in America at least—the Talents have twelve measly years of very fragile footing. To hand everyone else a specialized way to take them down? No matter what her principles are, Sarah—of all people—can understand how bad that would be.

“I see what the problem is.” Bright ambles back toward the front of the room, gesturing at Malla. Standing at the smart board, she tries three times to bring up a new window, poker-faced. Wow, those things are impossible to use.

Finally, Malla succeeds.

“Man, what?” Sarah asks.

Bright sighs. “We’ll supply you and your companions with unlimited funds, for any and all projects you can think of. And…” He shoots a glance at Ambre. “Your security will gain access to an expansive, expensive arsenal of the highest quality. How does that sound, Ms. Chu?”

Penwood and Ambre freeze.

“You said… Repeat that?” Penwood leans forward. “How much funding?”

“Arsenal means weapons, right?” Ambre asks. “Could I get a real-life morning star? Combined with a flail??”

“Whatever you desire,” Bright says brightly. His confidence is fully restored, and his teeth shine menacingly. “Just ask, and Bright will provide.”

“I take back the bad attitude. This sounds like a nice gig.”

“Anyone you want me to kill?”

“Hold on!” Sarah yells. “We have jobs already! We can’t just ditch the FHTC to mass-produce my technology without any regulations!”

“Why not?” Ambre asks.

Sarah groans. “It’s dangerous! Too dangerous to spread around.”

“So?” Penwood scoffs. “They’re offering us unlimited funding. Applicable to whatever projects we want. Isn’t that the dream, kid?”

It is. “But…I mean…we have to have some measure of morality in this!” Sarah sputters, crossing her arms and drawing the suitcase closer to her. “We make tech for the— the whole national authority on Talents. Our decisions could change the world! We have to—”

Ambre fake-snores. “Boring! You guys talk too much. Show me the weapons!”

Bright sweats. “We, uh, don’t have them yet—”

“Get ready for your ears to fall off with boredom, cause I’m gonna talk some more!” Sarah snaps, standing up. “If no one wants to listen to reason, I’ll just be straight with you! I’m the one with the patent. Talent suppressor tech is mine. So thanks for the job offer, but I’m not interested, Mr. Bright! You can go eat shit!”

“Now that’s just crass.”

Sarah stomps toward the door, shouldering aside bemused security guards through sheer force of will. Bright sighs behind her. “It’s certainly a shame. I was hoping this business would run a bit more smoothly.” He chuckles. “Ever the optimist, I am!”

“He’s so annoying,” Penwood stage-whispers to Ambre.

“Nonetheless, I continue to strive for my goals and I never give up! I— Pardon me, could you—? Could you wait for me to—”

Sarah reaches for the doorknob.

Malla’s hand makes it there first. Her expression is stone.

Bright clears his throat, then finishes lamely. “Er, yes. Hmm. We are going to kill you and steal your work now. Sorry.”

Penwood and Ambre freeze again, for very different reasons.

---

“Why do you want an arsenal so bad?!” Sarah cries as they run. “You’re clearly just as lethal with your bare fists!”

“Swords are pretty!” Ambre yells back, affronted. That’s all??

“Look!” Penwood points.

Just a few paces before them sits the building’s main elevator. Standing inside are a couple of terrified employees, one mashing the ‘close doors’ button.

“MOVE!!” Sarah, Penwood, and Ambre all shout in unison. The employees scream and flee instantly.

The three of them slide to a stop inside the newly-vacated elevator box. Ambre punches an actual hole through the ‘close doors’ button, unhelpfully. By some miracle, however, the doors do indeed close before Bright and his cronies can reach them.

“Let’s try the second floor,” Sarah whispers, just in case.

The lights go out completely, and a deafening, descending, analog noise obnoxiously announces a power outage.

“What was that?” Ambre hisses, the typically vivid amber of her scarf just barely visible in the dark.

“Some sort of lockdown,” Sarah groans. “They’ve cut the power on us.” She presses an elevator button fruitlessly to demonstrate. It makes a plastic clicking noise, but doesn’t light up.

“We’re trapped,” Penwood says, more bluntly.

It’s so quiet without the hum of electronics. On the other side of the door, they can hear all those armed Bright Industries employees talking to one another. This is bad. They’ll be found, sooner or later.

Ambre sounds like she’s moving around. Penwood audibly inhales like he’s going to tell her to be quiet, but she speaks first. “Come on,” Ambre whispers. “We can crawl into the elevator shaft.”

Sarah tries to find Penwood’s eyes in the darkness. Without anything to reflect off his glasses, he’s practically invisible. “Get going,” he tells her, unreadable when she can’t see him. “Better put some distance between us and Agent Smith, over there.”

“What?” Ambre breathes somewhere above them, missing the reference.

“It’s from the Matrix,” Penwood sighs. “Just go.”

Judging the My Candy Love redesign

[Long Post!!]

So I've been replaying Amour Sucré (or My Candy Love for my English folks) and got curious about what the redesign looked like. I've played the game in the past from 2012-2014 ish, ended up deleting my accounts in 2016-ish and then finally came back like, a week or two ago.

I know the design for some has changed quite a lot, but it's been so long since I last played it without the redesign so I'll check that out!

So this post will be me judging all the characters that have had redesign (and bonus with either even older design or first concept). Maybe later on I'll make a post about the reaction spirits, but for now, it's only the design with the neutral poses.

I won't be adding some of the outfits that are added later on in Episodes if they weren't in a previous version (just so I don't end up with too many outfits for some character). This will also include "one time" used outfits, like the track suit for example.

Also am doing this in alphabetical order just because it's easier for me.

Aunty Agatha

I'll say, the new design didn't change much, I'll put aunty in the "Just updated the art style" folder (since it is what happened to many). Though, I think the wings were a bit more interesting in the older version, a bit more detailed. Now they look more like cracked stones.

And... we won't talk about the older design. The overall design is the same, but the art style was... not it. Changing the wand for a heart though is an interesting choice that I like. The wings were also cool, although I do feel like the details in them are a bit hard to see, but it could be the quality of the picture too.

Alexy

I'll be totally honest, I prefer the older design for Alexy. I think the shirt was more interesting, the pants were cooler (I'd legit want them), I also like the pose a lot for some reason. I don't know why, but I feel like the collar of his new shirt and his headphone just sit a bit weird and awkwardly on his neck.

I am sure the older design would look just as good in the new art style as it did before. I don't know if it's a question of animation of not, but am certain it could have worked.

Armin

Another "Updated Art Style" character, Armin looks just as good as he did before in my opinion. I'd argue that I would probably have left a bit more spikiness to the hair on his neck (same for Alexy obviously). This is really the only critic I have, the hair looks really smooth. Probably not my favourite outfit of all the characters, but I like it.

Ambre

Nothing changed much for Ambre in the newer version, although I think it is a bit more detailed for some parts and the proportions are better too. I also think the frills of the shirt look better, and I personally prefer the newer colours.

Although I do think the jeans have lost in details though (but I guess it is more hidden most of the time).

And I know concept art is just concept art but... Damn. I have lots of difficulties sometimes with the pre-2011 design. Interesting how her overall outfit didn't change since her concept tho.

Boris

Okay, this teacher was never my fav, but boy does he look WAY better now. I feel like part of why I found him a bit creepy was the design, somehow (I remember really not liking him). This is totally an "updated new art style" that was really needed.

For one, his proportions are way better and his muscle are GOOD, keep it up, my man! No more yaoi hand and giant rose either, just big muscle that looks more real >:)

No more nips tho :'3

Capucine

Another "Updated to new art style". I also like the new version though, I think it looks pretty cute.

Though I'll say I did like the stray strand of hair from the previous version, and something about her expression gives me another vibe. A bit more... I don't know, sneaky? Like she's hiding something? Maybe it's the shading on her forehead that gives me this impression.

Castiel

Again, "updated to new art style". I really like how it came out tho, he looks good. Without a surprise, Castiel has been my fav since I first started playing it >:3. Anyway, now let's do by outfits to be more precise

Pre-EP 17: The T-shirt and necklace are fine (tho I do prefer the red of the previous one), but the pants and leather (?) jacket is... not it. His pants have the same problems as Amber, no more detail, but now also weirdly baggy. I feel like the newer style is more soft/round, but am really not into that jacket, the wrinkles on the jacket just don't feel right.

Post-EP 17: I really like it, That's a pretty fine update. On this one, the pants also look pretty fine! This outfit is actually something I'd probably wear too if I had it. It's a good update, better than the pre-17 one.

And the 2010 one... Let's say I'm not made that it's only stayed like this for a year and the 2011 one came out. They feel like a placeholder because the gap between the two is just too big.

Charlotte

"Update to new art style", I also think they fixed up some proportion issues. Charlotte has such a big head in the pre-updated one, it surprised me when I changed the picture. Like, most characters weren't too bad, but her and Debrah's heads are so big XD. They also fixed her broken wrist!

And honestly, she's another character for whom the design hasn't changed since 2010, it actually very accurate. Also, I'll say that Charlotte 2010's drawing is probably the only one I think looks good pre-2011 :').

ChiNoMimi

I think her updated sprites look cuter than before, look at her smile :D. Also, I think her pose has a better silhouette than before (not that with her wings it would be hard to guess who she is.). I also think the colours are a bit prettier.

Also, looking at the years, you can tell which character is more important to the story or not, because, Like Tata and Boris, she was updated quite late compared to some others.

Dajan

God, if a character needed re-spriting, it was this man. There's so much to say about Dajan

1] What the fuck was the deal with his jersey?!? Like, I get it, clothing gets wrinkled when you play sports, but not like THAT.

2] His hair sure is a glow-up. Before it was just a black flat colour, now we can see more detail in it. Love it.

3] This basketball looks way more like a ball than the previous one. Like, line one the old one gives me the impression that it's not a sphere somehow TToTT.

Dake

Wow, a character I can spot some changes! Although I will not lie, I do not get why they got rid of the orange shirt, I think it was looking good personally, fits him pretty well.

He looks more like a pretty boy now, although I assume it was always supposed to be like that. I prefer his new hair too. Pretty much the same, but I think it was drawn better this time.

Also those muscles sure look more like muscle than they did before, good for him!

Also, dunno why I noticed it now, but for some reason, he's not wearing his necklace in the older surfing sprite like he does now.

Debrah

As much as I hate her, I think the updated version did her pretty well. No more big head!! Now we had more proportioned. Also, I feel like her eyes look even more half-lidded than before and just had this feeling of her being bitchy. (yes, I am very biased).

I like what they did with her top, making the back shinier and making the patterns on it way more visible than before. I really like it.

Tho I do miss the high boots, I think they could have looked nice (even if the reason is likely that they are hidden most of the time by the text box).

I overall really like the new sprits and it all looked better.

Iris

An update to new style character. Tho I feel like somehow, her expression looks a bit blank than it was before? I just think it's kinda... flat. Do like the hair it looks a bit more realistic in a way, and the braid is a little bit more detailed.

I do miss the chocker tho, I think it went well with her personally.

The 2010 concept must have been good since it did stay similar to it. Tho am nearly surprised the legs changed when now they take away some details. Even if am not too keen on the furr of the shorts, I do like purple and black leggings/stockings. Iris really gives me Halloween vibes.

Jade

So, I don't know why, but I prefer the older one for Jade? Maybe it's the pose? the somewhat close-up? I don't know, there's just something about it that I prefer. But he still looks really nice and pretty?

I do miss the weird belt that doesn't seem to serve anything do, added something to the big green expend of his apron.

Also, funny how Jade seems to be the only character for whom the character seems so close to us.

Kentin

The overall design didn't change, but oh boy did my man Kentin needed this update xD Especially his first sprite, sure we see him only in EP 1 (and then later I believe) and it shows that it was the 2010 style.

Ken: Honestly he looks so much cuter than before. I know he's supposed to be the "haha ugly nerd who gets hot", but looks at him, he's so cute. Give him a better wardrobe and tada, he'd be absolutely fucking adorable. Though I nearly wish they got rid of that calculator, who goes around with a calculator on their hips TToTT.

Kentin: His older sprite has such a weird face. I feel like it's the angle that made it so he needed to look from the side, but it could have been better. He overall looks much better than before. But his right hand! Why is his right hand so awkwardly posed, close your finger dude xD

Kim

Honestly, Kim stayed pretty much the same, there's really not much I can say about her. I do like the updated colours a little bit more tho. Love how for her they managed to keep the same vibe from the early 2010's to right now.

Leigh

The overall design hasn't changed too much. Tho I feel like some of the folds and frills look a little bit less detailed than before (but the character is also "less close" than before to see it I guess. I do wonder too what it the thing at his thighs. Is it mirrors? Is it supposed to be a hole that shows something under it? Now that I try to look at it more closely am so confused.

Also bonus, I am pretty sure the one with fabrics is the old sprite that welcomed us at the clothing store.

Even if the whole design of Li is pretty much the same, I do like the newer version a bit more. We kinda lose in silhouette, sure, but something about the newer version seems a bit better than the other one.

And you can tell the older one followed more the concept, but am happy they fixed the forehead. somehow it looks so big and strange.

Louis

The updated art style didn't change much. But oh boy did our man Louis need it. He went from... a bit rough old man, to your nice and gentle grandpa. I like that they kept the little rainbows on his vest, it's goes really well with him. It's a nice sigh seeing him in the bazar.

Philippe and Lucia

Nothing changed too much, very much just an updated version. But the update did them good I think. They weren't bad, but obviously, now they fit the other character better. The colours look a little bit better (especially the green jacket), but that's my opinion. The hair looks also better in my opinion. Very similar, but it's still a little bit better in my opinion.

Lysandre

The updated to new art style is very similar, but the little changes made make it that I do prefer the updated the new version.

I like the turquoise/green undertone that they gave to his coat, I feel it goes a little bit better with the other turquoise details of his outfits.. I like how the head is slightly tilted, fits him pretty well, and gives him an even bigger vibe of "lost in thoughts". And the silver is shinier and has more details too and I like it.

Also, I lied above when I said Charlotte is the only older drawing I like. I think Lysandre's older version is pretty good too, better even. Maybe it's helpful that it is very similar to his rendered version.

M. Fraizer

I'm not really surprised that M. Fraizer looks didn't change too much. I do prefer the newer version though. The lighter hair and shirt fit him a little bit better I think. The haircut looks a little bit better too (and the highlights sure help this).

Melody

I think Melody looks really pretty in her new updated style. The necklace/chocker being a bit loser looks a bit better I think, fits her character a little bit more. Also, like other characters that have them, the frills looks better now.

Dunno, I just like the newer one better.

Mme Shermansky

I'm legit surprised by what she looked like before?!? I had completely forgotten just how... simplistic her design looked like. Sure, she's not often seen, but even Mr Fraizer and Boris had more details than her.

Everything looks better honestly, like the little bit of hair before her ears, love the new belts too. The colour is a little bit better in my opinion too, and goes well with the overall look.

Nathaniel

Aside from the pose, nothing changed much in the many outfits Nathaniel as had (and I believe there's another one!). I think the pose looks better, especially for the non-clipboard poses, because it looks a bit less awkward. I also think the slightly more bright colour is better than the previous one.

Past: I think the overall colours looked better, a bit less dull. I do like the new pattern on his sweater (is that the name) although it does give me "old person patterns". Also like the jean, a pretty casual look for who Nathaniel is at the start of the game.

Pre-EP 18: Like the other one, prefer the colours for this one, a little bit more saturated. A good small detail that is changed is the tie being fully tied. Goes better with the image he has, especially at the start, but also with what his father wants him to look like.

Post-EP 18: Pretty similar honestly, Though it does look a little bit better in the newer version. This actually has to be my fav HSL Nathaniel look (because I've seen the other one and to me it's just... meh). I really like this one.

And the 2010 is... I still don't like the art style. Although I also note that the tie was fully done. I wonder who decided to undo it a little bit.

Nina

The updated style seems to mostly fix proportion in my opinion. Like others, the frills of the dress looks better than before, so does the corset (although I feel it does because its has more place to be right now).

Overall, I really like her look overall, really pretty.

Peggy

Can I start first with: For some reason, Peggy gives me SNK vibes. Dunno if it's the green dress with the huge ass recording box.

Not much changed in this update, but I think it's alright, nothing seems bad in my opinion. I do prefer the news haircut, Looks a bit more fluffy and flowy.

But I also have to ask: Where did the freckles go TToTT Bring back the frickles, they were cute QwQ

Rosalya

Nothing changed too much for Rosalya, but what did are things I quite like. I like that the edge of the dress is a bit more discreet. Love the wrinkles being a little bit less big, giving the impression that the dress is more satin than before. The golden detailing being shinier is also a nice touch. She's just pretty.

Violette

Like a lot of the characters, not much changed, but I overall do enjoy the new design. I like the grey looking a little bit lighter, fits her better in my opinion.

Love the texture on the art folder, it's not too much, but I do prefer it a little bit more than the older one. Though I do have to say, I do like the paper sticking out of it from the older one, it added a feeling of it being pretty filled.

Overall, aside from something her and there (and Alexy) I quite like the newer version of the character, I think they all look good and more fresh.

@emys-123 prompted me with "Emhyr and Geralt from the pov of Corvo Bianco workers". With pleasure, here you go, take it as my Christmas gift if you're celebrating, or simply as a treat over the holidays (of which I hope you have any these days). 3085 words, T, under the cut or on AO3.

In his family, Delron was the youngest link in the chain of several generations of servants – in other words, he began his career as a kind of gofer. It was tradition, and tradition was sacred in Toussaint, after all.

However, it was somewhat unusual that he ended up in a witcher’s service. Exciting, to be sure, but Ambre, his second degree cousin, had given him the earful, inculcating him not to stare. "He's a good master, this witcher," she had said. "There are truly worse."

That was an astonishing opinion even in the oh-so-tolerant Toussaint, but Delron soon found it was true.

Geralt of Riva – "Just Geralt," as he always insisted, but that was too reprehensible even for the simplest of servants – may have been a witcher, but not one like in the stories, and certainly not one like in the rumors.

Sure, those eyes took... getting used to. The scar on his face, well, you got the hang to that quite easily. Even Delron had seen worse (peasants who had made an inglorious acquaintance with the wrong end of the scythe due to carelessness). At the end of the day, the man didn’t have a second head, nor did smoke come out of his ears, nor did he speak with a voice like from the depths of hell. Delron was already a serene fourteen year old; he scolded himself for ever believing such things.

The witcher didn't talk much, but he worked hard, and that actually meant something to the people here. Corvo Bianco was resplendent: fresh paint, additions, an herb garden... even a horse stable. This was Delron's first task when he entered the witcher’s service, and although it was a modest stable, inhabited by a single horse only a few months a year, it was an almost pleasant job. Everything was great, only the wine was still lacking in Corvo Bianco. But considering that, until the witcher’s arrival, corpses had been kept in the cellar of the estate, everything was a vast improvement – one could overlook a vineyard without a harvest.

And then... things actually became storybook.

Delron may have been in the witcher’s service for a year, when one sunny day he was mucking out the stable, pausing every now and then to stroke the master's horse. It was a very good-natured horse that seemed to enjoy caresses very much, and this prolonged the time for Delron until he was to assist his cousin with the much more boring weeding.

Delron was working leisurely when suddenly he noticed some kind of light out of the corner of his eye. It made him look up. The stable was in the lower yard; stairs led up to the main house. Delron almost dropped the shovel when, at the bottom of those stairs, just a few steps away from him, he perceived a huge blue light in the form of some kind of gate. Magic, clearly.

For a moment he wondered if he should throw the shovel away and flee, or if it would be a suitable weapon to defend the manor. The witcher was truly a good master, Ambre had been right. Delron did find it questionable that a stable boy of all people would be suitable to defend his master from magic, but his grip on the tool strengthened. In Toussaint, people believed in miracles, and also that the simplest peasant could become a hero.

Two people stepped out of the magic gate. First, a woman with flaming hair (a witch, for sure), and then... Delron hit the shovel handle against his teeth in surprise (he suffered a swollen lip for three days afterwards, and his cousin teased him that he had kissed a cow). Behind the woman, a tall man stepped out of the mysterious light, a man whose portrait even Delron had seen before, for it had hung for some time next to that of the gracious sovereign Anna-Henrietta in the offices.

There was no doubt about it: it was Emperor Emhyr var Emreis himself, who was now standing in Corvo Bianco's courtyard, looking skeptically up the stairs. The light flickered and died, and the emperor straightened his shoulders and climbed the steps with determination.

Was this a dream? Hardly. Delron wasn't suffering from a fever, either. He wondered if his master had any trouble with the law. But, what was more likely – after all, he was a witcher – perhaps there was some great, secret task for him. A fierce monster maybe, something that threatened the capital? Oh, the possibilities were endless – and Delron couldn't figure out the secret, because the emperor and his escort disappeared into the house, and then Ambre came and pulled his ears and scolded him for not helping with the weeding.

"But the emperor came," Delron stammered, which earned him another slap in the face – this story was really too fantastic.

Except it wasn't a story.

During the following summer, Geralt spent time at his estate again, which was managed by Master Faulty for the rest of the year. It was already clear that there would be no wine this year either, but the witcher’s cellars were nevertheless well filled. That summer, he received several visitors, which Delron found quite understandable, for word of how the witcher had saved Beauclair must have spread far and wide. Surely, Delron thought, all these people came to seek his master's advice. One could not be quite sure – the elderly gentleman with the receding hairline, for instance, who smelled of an entire herb garden, was perhaps a merchant, and the giant with the furrowed face was probably a witcher as well.

And then it happened again: one evening, the air flickered, it smelled like just before a thunderstorm, and a gate of pure light appeared. Delron, actually already on his way home, quickly squeezed into one of the house entrances below the main house and watched as once again the pretty redhead and the emperor appeared just below the stairs.

"Why do I have to walk up the stairs in this heat? It must be possible to do this more precisely," the emperor's voice rang out.

"You may have forgotten that I put a protective spell on the house," was the rather flippant reply. Afterwards, the woman added that she would reappear tomorrow shortly before noon, then stepped back into the light, and it disappeared with her.

The emperor stared at the place where the witch had just been, muttered something, and then went up the stairs. He had hardly taken two steps when something amazing happened. The door of the house opened, and with a broad smile on his face (that, according to Delron's cousin, could be called very attractive, despite the scar) the witcher opened his arms wide and asked, "What kept you?"

Delron held his breath. Rumor had it that the duchess had one of her maids thrown into the dungeon for three days after making a remark about the mistress's dress. Of course, one could never be sure what was truth and what was fiction when it came to such gossip, especially from women, and yet, in Toussaint, people were convinced that moderate severity was the right of rulers and the proper way to maintain tradition and decency. How would the Emperor of Nilfgaard react to the fact that a witcher addressed him in such a familiar manner? Delron feared for his master (and a little for his simple life, too, for Ambre claimed that the servants of the former owner would have had to lift the coals from the fire one by one if they were lazy like him, or something like that).

"State business," the emperor replied tersely, "and a court sorceress who wanted to go over every detail of it until the last second."

The witcher started to reply, and it almost seemed as if he intended to extend a hand – was he going to help the emperor up the stairs? – when his yellow eyes suddenly fixed on Delron. Delron's heart was in his mouth. Did the master really see him? In any case, the witcher lowered his arms, took a step back, held the door open for the ruler and spoke a few words so softly that Delron could no longer understand anything. The two disappeared into the house. No matter how hard Delron tried to sneak around the courtyard the next day, he never saw the witch (a sorceress, he corrected himself) or the emperor again.

If the witcher had indeed noticed him, he did not let on. For the rest of the summer, everything was the same as the year before: the master answered calls for help from winegrowers whose vineyards seemed to be infested with strange monsters, had the house renovated, and gained a reputation as a man who might be a bit odd, but... kind-hearted. This was a quality one would hardly ever expect from a witcher, but it was true: he treated everyone on the estate with kind respect, and so they treated him. Moreover, he was modest, because the fact that he had won the tournament, and was actually a knight (although knighted in northern lands, which did not have the same value in Toussaint), spread late in Corvo Bianco.

The witcher's modesty, however, had quite different dimensions, as became evident the following summer.

That year it was Delron's job to instruct a pimply-faced milksop named Fabien, who was indeed long as a bean to match his name, in menial tasks. He himself was now less out and about in the estate's courtyard, and even though he had told no one what he had observed in previous years, he was curious to see if something similar would happen again.

But this summer, the witcher stayed away from the winery. The work did not diminish, and so it was not noticed for a while, but when the rape had passed its flowering and the master had not yet appeared, the rumors rumbled on Corvo Bianco. One of the craziest of these was that the witcher was getting married.

Delron's cousin found the idea absurd. She chattered about how there had never been any ladies on the estate, except for the visit of a white-haired young woman whom the man had supposedly introduced as his daughter ("Sorcerers are sterile, that's why they steal children," Delron had said, getting slapped in the face for supposedly being too young for such talk and because the master really didn't steal children, which was true). Delron did not mention the sorceress, but in principle that might be true: it was strange that there was no woman in the house. But Geralt was a witcher, and what did one know if they ever married? It wasn't that the women on the farm didn't stare at him, but he treated them all the same and didn't care if they ogled at him.

So, whom should the witcher marry? The answer came just before midsummer, and it was a shock.

Every now and then things had to be procured that were not available in the surrounding villages or from passing merchants, so someone was sent to Beauclair. This was a big task, even if the person was only given a note and a purse, with the strict requirement to go only to this or that store. This year the choice fell on Delron, who could read and write reasonably well, but above all could calculate quite well and was reliable enough not to get ripped off, as his cousin put it.

The city was a madhouse for someone who rarely visited it: far too big, too noisy, and too garish, and it was no wonder Delron got lost despite Master Faulty's detailed description. He knew that the store he had to go to was not in one of the large squares, and yet he was intrigued when he ended up there and saw the hustle and bustle. Then, however, his eyes fell on the bulletin board at the edge of the street, and he squinted his eyes, shook his head, and for a moment thought he was dreaming. The heat of summer was much more unbearable in the city, and perhaps he had sunstroke?

Almost as if delirious, he plodded to the bulletin board, ignoring the numerous notes there and staring only at a single piece of parchment that seemed to outshine all the others. There was a drawing there, or actually two. One clearly showed the witcher, his light hair and the scar were artfully carved out. However, he was wearing stately robes in this picture (in Corvo Bianco, he usually wore a simple shirt and linen pants like a peasant, sometimes even no shirt, which seemed to make the ladies very uncomfortable). Even more astonishing was that right next to it... the emperor was pictured. A little soft-focused, but clearly Nilfgaard’s ruler. Both of them were smiling in these portraits, which seemed strange somehow, even if Delron couldn't have said exactly why.

Even stranger, however, were the words.

After Delron had laboriously deciphered them, he immediately read the whole thing again, could not believe a word, and finally, after looking around furtively three times, tore off the note and took it with him.

Back at the winery, the news made the rounds. Delron, who did not let go of the parchment, had to read the text so many times that in the end he knew it by heart.

"This is nonsense," said his cousin, and the other servants standing around her laughed, claiming Delron was pranking them.

Ambre did not laugh, she turned and hissed at the others that Delron might not only lose his position, but end up losing his head should this find its way to Nilfgaard.

"That's the emperor's seal," Delron claimed, pointing to some sort of stamp at the bottom of the parchment that looked really official and important.

"Why would our master marry the emperor?" his cousin exclaimed, annoyed.

To this, Delron had no answer. All attempts to get something out of Master Faulty failed. He remained stubbornly silent, which made many wonder, for Master Faulty was a great advocate of the witcher, and yet did nothing to dispel the rumors.

Summer gradually passed into a gentle autumn, without the witcher having visited the winery. Yet everything went on as usual, and provided he liked to check on things at some point, he would find everything in perfect order.

One morning, shortly after the first cockcrow, the new lad, the beanstalk, ran like mad all over the estate to gather all the remaining farmhands in front of the main house. There were only a handful left, as always at the end of harvest time: Delron, his cousin, and a few other women and men; enough to take care of the house and yard, and no superfluous servants to stretch the duchess's generosity.

Master Faulty greeted them all with a serious face. "We have received some surprising news," he began, "which requires each of you to take on some extra effort."

And then he dropped the bomb.

"As you may have heard, our master is getting married," he said, and the surprised murmurs of the bystanders revealed that no one had really believed it.

"The emperor, really?" someone shouted, and Master Faulty looked sternly over his spectacle lenses, clicking his tongue.

"Surely I don't have to remind you of Toussaint's traditions," he replied, "which embrace tolerance and hospitality."

"Hospitality?" Delron blurted out. "This wedding is taking place in Nilfgaard, after all."

Everyone stared at him, including Master Faulty, although he knew that rumors had spread among the servants. And he also knew that few of the inhabitants had much sympathy for Nilfgaard's appropriation of the duchy – they considered it a personal affront to the duchess, although she had not suffered any disadvantage so far, on the contrary.

"Unfortunately, that is currently not an option," he replied stiffly.

Much later they learned of a fire in the palace shortly before the wedding, and that the witcher had heroically saved the emperor. It was probably not the whole truth, but it was enough.

"We will receive the wedding couple here," Master Faulty added, and from then on, things really got wild.

Every hand in Corvo Bianco was kept busy, everything spruced up, last-minute supplies were procured, the yard and garden decorated as if for the summer solstice. Guests were only a handful, and they all appeared through a magical gateway, and everyone who saw it almost fainted (except Delron, who was now observing this almost detachedly).

It was an amazingly quiet little wedding, considering who was getting married. Most of the women sighed, a few men grumbled, but Delron watched the couple leave the house sometime just before sunset (honestly, it looked like they were trying to sneak away). He watched as they walked, their hands clasped tightly, toward the garden. An unusual couple, to be sure.

Ambre stepped up beside him, headbutted him, saying, "Don't stare."

But she, too, looked behind them almost dreamily and finally whispered, "Pepper and salt."

Delron looked at her in surprise, but he understood. Black and white, purely on the outside, and certainly just as opposite. But with luck, they complemented each other, were irreplaceable. Who cared that it was a most unusual union? Delron hadn't even begun to grasp the basic tenets of love, but he saw the looks the two gave each other before they disappeared from his sight, and perhaps he sighed a little.

"You'll figure it out some day," Ambre said softly. "Let's go home."

They set off, walking up a little beside the path the newlyweds had also taken, but with enough distance between them not to run into them by chance. The evening was crisp, the air crystal clear, and the chirping of the crickets could be heard so loudly that one could believe it resounded all the way down to the house, which was now a good distance below them.

It was not the only sound that was well heard that evening.

A flock of birds suddenly burst from the undergrowth and flew away scolding. The echo of soft laughter was heard, and then something...

Ambre blushed, which was easy to see even in the approaching darkness, and she muttered, "Oh dear."

Then she drove Delron relentlessly forward, faster up the hill, away from the couple and the sounds, and Delron laughed.

His master was happy, love was sacred, and Corvo Bianco could be content with that.

Blue and Grey (Part 1)- Kiri x Fem Reader! Human!

Mature: No

Requested: Yes

Fluff: Yes

Angst: maybe, a little bit ;)

Pandora is so much more than the biology and the greed it had portrayed itself as for so long to the sky people. It's so much more than all of it. It's about reading the trails, the tracks of the land, the tiniest scents and sounds. There is this constant flow of energy within everything: the spirits of animals, of the Omatikaya, and the way it all connects with the planet.

That deep connection of the forest resides with the people. I remember Grace talking about that network of energy and how it flows between all living things. She said that all energy is only borrowed and one day it has to be given back, which means, life is a lone from death.

I wrote all of my findings and information I could gather from nearby sources in my journal. As I was sitting on my desk, chewing my pen and thinking about what to write, my attention was suddenly diverted to Norm and Max who were fiddling around the computers.

"What are you doing?"

"Setting up Grace's old logs..." Norm answered, sparing me a glance, "...Jake's kids will be here any minute and his oldest daughter loves to watch Grace."

Jake Sully. The great Toruk Makhto who led a huge war against the sky people, leading Na'vi to their victory. I had heard his stories and how he used to be a past dream walker like us, but his soul was completely transferred to his Avatar through Eywa and now he is a full Na'vi.

Born to two scientists who had ill fates and died during that war, my newborn self was left to Norm and Max to be taken care of. Max told me that Jake used to come and hold me for hours frequently, and how Neytiri, the one who used to resent sky people, would put me to sleep whenever I was too cranky.

Speaking of them, their kids have become my best friends and my only companion on this planet. Growing up together on the planet, even in completely different environments, our friendship remained strong.

And one of them even caught my heart.

Kiri. Jake Sully's eldest adopted daughter, Grace's biological daughter.

Whenever she visits the lab, she is always charming me with her beautiful smile and her green eyes, her sparkly whirlpools of orbs were as deep as the ocean. I was the closest to her, there was no specific reason, at least to her, but it was for me.

I had a crush on Kiri. A huge one I am talking about.

Sometimes, I'd find myself staring at her endlessly, like an idiot as she would keep on telling me stories and great valours of her people and Eywa, the Greath Mother.

Once, Kiri caught me staring at her, and she giggled when I tried to play it cool, her cheeks were a beautiful purple colour as her freckles would glow, like stars shining.

I knew it wasn't possible for me to stay with her the rest of my life, I won't have so much oxygen to survive on. Besides, with Kiri as beautiful and talented she is, she deserves a much better mate than me. I am pretty sure she's not into girls.

Maybe.

"HEY Y/N!" the door slammed open, revealing my friends, Lo'ak's eventful greeting made me drop my pen, "...my Dude where are you?!"

"Can you shut it down, Skxwang!" Kiri hissed, my heart started beating fast as soon as I heard her sweet, lilting voice, "...she's there, look!"

"Y/N!"

I smiled and turned back from my chair to the youngest Sully, Tuk, opening my arms for her hug. She's the cutest Na'vi kid I've seen till now, and the way her golden ambre eyes stared at me with all the admiration she has always melted my heart. I loved how she is so curious about everything on earth and how many questions she conjures up for me to solve them.

"Hey guys!" I smiled at my friends, greeting each of them with a hug. Neteyam's quite a gentleman, he's okay with one sided hug. Lo'ak's a whole different boy, he's very comfortable with me so he doesn't hesitate to squeeze me in both of his strong arms while pressing me to his chest.

And Kiri....

Oh God this girl will be the death of me...

She wraps her arms around me warmly, engulfing me to her chest where I could feel her heart, suddenly beating at a very hard pace, as if a racehorse. Her tail wraps around my calf, the tip of it tickling my inner thigh as I inhaled a sharp breath, gently pulling away before I lose control on myself.

Oh Kiri...

"Come..." I chuckled, holding her hand as she smiled back at me, "...come, everything's ready for you."

We left the boys and little Tuk to explore the lab as me and Kiri went our way to Grace's room, her Avatar was still lying in the incubator filled with liquid. Kiri ran up to the incubator and climbed up on it, her eyes glowing down at Grace with tears brimming in them.

"Hi Ma..." she whispered, as I went out for a while to give her a little space, closing the door behind me.

"How are you feeling, Ma? You are safe with Y/N, I know, she'll always protect you. She's not like those sky demons, she loves us, she loves our land. Ma, you'd have loved her just as I do. I want her to stay with us and me forever, but she hasn't got an Avatar body."

Kiri sighed, smushing her cheek against the glass wall as her eyes trained on Grace's floating figure, her tears slowly dropped on the glass casket.

"I love her, Ma..." she sobbed softly, "...I fell in love with her. I fell in love with a sky person, Mom and Dad perhaps wouldn't agree on being mates with her. It doesn't even matter, Ma, she won't be able to survive here."

She sighed as she wiped her tears away, climbing down and then walking over to the computer, wondering how'd she open it and see her Mum's logs. And that's when I entered, making her look at me and smile.

"Hey Kiri..." I walked over to her, and was about to say something when I noticed her tear-stained cheeks. I frowned and pulled her towards me, cupping her cheeks and I leaned forward to examine her properly for any injuries if she had got.

"Why have you been crying, Kiri?"
