trivia!

her father chose her name. her mother had given him the privilege since she hadn’t thought much about it. he chose cadence because of a movie they had been watching before she was born.

her mother left early into kadie’s childhood. her father had originally made up an excuse, saying she had moved away for a better job and they weren’t allowed to go with her. he broke down and told kadie the truth before she left for south korea. she has resented him for lying to her, but he’s actively trying to earn her forgiveness.

at the age of nine kadie auditioned while on vacation with her dance team. she got nervous and forgot a majority the routine she had been practicing for weeks. yg turned her down and she was back to square one.

in august of 2012, she moved across the sea to live with her grandparents. during this time she auditioned at sm during their weekend audition and was given the chance to become a trainee.

in her former group’s lore her prism gave her the power to travel dimensions. she has also been shown to have control over ice. she continues this lore throughout her solos, but also began to incorporate kwangya.

kadie’s representative color is pink, but is sometimes mistaken as red.

she was originally rumored to be a red velvet member, but she was held behind due to her age and plans for another girl group.

when fans asked what her biggest wish was she said she would like to buy a nice house so she could live on her own. she also said she would like to adopt a big dog to keep her company.

as a trainee kadie turned towards exo as her source of inspiration. they had just debuted shortly before she joined the company, so she saw their journey as what hers could become if she worked hard enough.

Fandom: FFXIV Pairing: Alyzen Kaide/Estinien Varlineau, Alyzen Kaide/Aymeric de Borel Rating: T (mild violence) Words: 1784

(read on ao3)

The woman in his arms looks so fucking fragile.

She’s so silent, so alarmingly unmoving as he strides rapidly across the battlefield. There’s fighting all around him, soldiers of the Alliance clashing with the Garleans, the loud rotors and motors of their grotesque ceruleum-fuelled warmachina vibrating the air. Smoke and dust and blood is a near-tangible thing on his tongue, sour and acrid and bitter, and there’s a piercingly high scream coming from the right, but all of Estinien’s attention is on the pale-faced, bruised and bleeding Warrior of Light.

Savior of Ishgard.

Eorzea’s Champion.

He's only ever seen her vital and vibrant, whether in joy or grief or rage or sorrow. But now she wears a new look and he finds he does not care much for the sight of it.

In his arms, she looks so… human. So mortal. 

So frangible.

He should have acted sooner. He should have fought by her side, instead of watching as she parried blow after blow, as her skin turned from golden to purple-blue.

He thought she’d had it under control. And Halone’s breath, but she’d been magnificent as she danced around the battlefield, Zenos’ attacks barely touching her.

And she’d killed him. He’d seen it. He’d watched Zenos’ body slump to the ground, little better than a soggy sack of flour. He didn’t have to be a Sharlayan scholar to know that the dead weren’t meant to glow ominous red before climbing back to their feet.

Alyzen always had the worst luck.

Whatever that thing was, whatever manner of creature lived in that body, it had not startled Aly, or surprised her. No, she'd been so fucking resigned, like she'd expected it, a grim sort of desperation on her thinned mouth. Fool woman, he clenches his jaw as he carefully climbs over a twisted chunk of metal that had once been a craft, why would you attempt to fight a creature that could not be killed?

But he knows the answer, even as he rages against it. What other choice did she have? All too often, the fate of half a dozen countries rested on her shoulders, and he cannot even judge them for it, for had he not required her assistance to protect and defend the country he loves?

Why had she been alone on the battlefield? Where were the rest of her Scions, her friends? Why had they abandoned her in her time of need?

The kind of magicks it had employed… to see her in such distress, to know she was in pain and that he could do nothing– He should have intervened the moment he saw the body rise. Perhaps if he had… his gaze drops to her blood-soaked armor.

Mayhap it was his imagination, but had she stopped breathing?

Estinien dips his head closer to her face, his cheek near her nose, and a flood of relief washes over him as the warmth of her exhale fans over his skin. “Do not even think of dying,” he murmurs to her, ducking behind a rockface so that the soldiers passing overhead do not catch a glimpse of their hero so wounded. “I would be most vexed with you should you make the slightest attempt.”

The Alliance camp was easy enough to slip into without being noticed. Estinien cast his glance this way, then that, attempting to gauge the safest place to take her to. Alyzen has dire need of a chirurgeon, but were she to be seen it would cause a massive drop in morale. Search as he might, he cannot find the slightest trace of the Scions. A strange thing indeed, even more so that none of the leaders seemed unaffected by their absence.

In the midst of all this chaos, there’s only one person Estinien trusts.

He knows Aymeric well enough to instantly pick him out of the crowd. Weaving his way through a throng of bodies dashing about, his own hood pulled over his head, he makes his way towards Ishgard’s Lord Commander. Aymeric is ensconced within the tent that serves as his personal accommodations, fully busy giving out orders to Lucia, but Estinien cannot wait for him to finish– he barges into the tent, ignoring Lucia’s outraged exclamation, and pulls down his hood to reveal his face.

“She needs help,” is all he says.

Aymeric draws in a sharp, shocked breath when his gaze lands on Alyzen’s form, his features contorting with heartbreak, before he quickly gathers himself and barks out an order to Lucia to fetch a chirurgeon. Estinien ignores the woman’s departure in favor of settling Aly onto Aymeric’s bed, his fingers suddenly and unexpectedly shaky as he brushes away a blood-crusted strand of hair away from her face.

“What happened?” Aymeric asks, concern making his voice tremble.

“Zenos,” he says, then goes into the details of the fight he’d witnessed.

Aymeric’s breath catches in his throat. “That was not the Crown Prince that raised his blade against her,” he states quietly as he kneels by the bed, carefully undoing the straps and buckles that keep her armor together. “Zenos is dead. It is an Ascian that now wears his body.”

“She fought an ascian? What would possess you to send her out to face him alone?” Estinien’s voice vibrates with his outrage. “If the alliance does not care for her wellbeing, surely the scions would–”

“The Scions are not here, Estinien.”

“So I gather. I overheard a group of men say they were on a secret mission elsewhere. Why would they leave her to fend for herself?”

“They cannot be here,” Estinien’s never seen Aymeric look more troubled. 

A short explanation later, and a fresh horror has embedded itself into his chest; he stares down at Alyzen, quiescent and motionless. “You believe there is a chance the same fate has befallen her? You think her soul has…” he cannot bring himself to say it.

“It has occurred several times,” Aymeric is grim-faced now, “and my understanding is that it affected only the Scions. Each time it has taken place, a Scion has fallen prey. Alisaie fell but a week ago.” He exhales heavily, his shoulders slumping with the motion. “Would that I could have kept her from the same fate. Halone grant me strength, the sight of her like this is once I cannot bear."

Before Estinien can respond, Lucis bursts in, a chirurgeon close at her heels. He watches silently as the medic examines Alyzen, as they tug at her eyelids and measure her pulse and clean and suture her wounds, but even he knows that her injuries, numerous as they are, could not be responsible for her insensate condition.

The chirurgeon completes his examination. “She– she appears to be asleep, my lord,” he says, a frown creasing his brow. “Her breathing is steady, and her pulse is strong. Yet–” he hesitates.

“Yet?” Aymeric crosses his arms.

“I could be mistaken, of course, but her aether– it is considerably thinned.”

Estinien narrows his eyes. “What do you mean? Speak plainly.”

He clears his throat. “It is as though her soul is barely present. It clings to her body in the barest of threads.”

There’s a clog in his throat, a rusted dagger in his chest. Estinien’s fingers twitch, as though they’re seeking out the comfort of hers; he curls them into his palm, hiding his fist behind his back. 

“You are certain of this?” Aymeric asks. 

“Aye.”

“It bodes well that it yet lingers,” Lucia places a hand on Aymeric’s shoulder. “The Warrior of Light is strong. She will return to us; of this I am certain.”

Aymeric exhales. “Aye,” he murmurs. “I must have faith.” His gaze meets Estinien’s, and he can see the fear lurking in those depths – not the fear of a leader on the verge of losing his best soldier, but the fear of a man who cares deeply.

Loves, even.

Estinien clenches his jaw so tight his teeth hurt. He recognizes that fear for it sits within his own ribs. The recognition of that emotion brings with it panic. Surely it cannot be. He cannot possibly– Dimly, he registers Aymeric giving orders for Alyzen to be flown to Ishgard– “immediately. Ensure that none but the Alliance leaders are aware of her condition–” but all his attention is on her.

She does look like she’s merely asleep. If it were not for the bandages and the bruises he could fool himself into believing it. But she’s not asleep. Someone, somewhere, is trying to pull her soul out of her body. Someone, somewhere is trying to turn her body into a husk. Someone, somewhere, is hurting her, and he cannot do anything about it–

“Will you accompany us?” Aymeric’s soft-spoken question rouses him out of his thoughts. 

“What?”

“Will you accompany us?” Lowering his voice further, he adds, “Even if she is unaware of it now, I am certain that when she wakes she would be pleased to know you kept her company.”

Estinien hesitates. He looks at Aly, a belligerent blue bloom on her now-pale cheek, short copper hair – when had she cut it? – matted and plastered to her scalp. Of what help would he be, hovering by her bedside like an overzealous mother hen? Her foes are numerous and linger in the shadows, and his time would be better served in hunting them.

It is not, as that traitorous little voice in the back of his head whispers, because he cannot bear to see her like this.

“Nay,” he shrugs, a pang of guilt pricking him at the split-second expression of disappointment that flickers over Aymeric’s face. “I would be of little help in an infirmary, Aymeric.”

“I suppose I should not be surprised,” Aymeric sighs. “Though you can be assured that she would be most disappointed at your absence.”

“Aymeric.” His tone, subdued as it is, gets the Lord Commander’s attention. Whatever Aymeric sees on his face is enough to have his own expression soften. 

“I will see to her care, Estinien. Have no doubt that she will be tended to by Ishgard’s finest chirurgeons.” He reaches out and grips his shoulder. The weight of his palm is welcome; it steadies that shaky, wobbly part of him that worries and fears for Alyzen. “Do you have any message you wish for me to disclose once she regains consciousness?”

“Tell her–” he pauses. His throat is clogged with an emotion he refuses to acknowledge. “Tell her she is not alone.” With that, he turns on his heel and walks away, forcing himself to ignore the part of him that yearns to return to her side.

He cannot remain, not while there are still those who desire her demise.

Kiss Prompts: By the campire/longing for Rhys/Kaidan

from this list

On AO3 here

Okay, here we go!  The first thing I’ve actually posted officially for Rhys Shepard and Kaidan.  Let’s do this!!!

This one is set in Wyoming (where Rhys lives with his grandparents) post-BAaT just as he’s starting to get himself back on track with school.  Rhys is 19, Kaidan is 20.

~~~

“So, this is the Wild West, huh?”

Rhys snorts softly and feeds a log to the campfire. When he retakes his seat a moment later, Kaidan hands him a bottle of beer.  They clink them together quietly in a wordless toast.  Only then does Rhys takes a long pull.  “As wild as Wyoming can get these days, I suppose.”  

The fire flickers as a stiff breeze blows through. Rhys tilts his head to the sky, inhaling deeply.  The chill in the air hints at a threat of a storm, but they have the small cabin to retreat to if it comes to that.  For now, conditions are safe enough they can sit outside and enjoy the mostly clear skies and breathtaking view of the stars above.  Using the log behind him as a back rest, he settles down and chuckles softly. “Surely you have views like this back home?”

Sitting to Rhys’ right and using the log as his perch, Kaidan rests his arms across his legs as he hunches forward and nods.  “We do.  Dad and I used to go camping sometimes when I was younger.  Cat Peak, Gold Peak.”  His voice is low, thoughtful, but there is a hint of a smile on his lips as he stares into the fire.  “Seems like a lifetime ago.”

A lifetime.  Rhys cannot hide the ripple of a shiver that chases down his spine.  Before BAaT.  A lifetime and a half ago.  A question tumbles around inside his head, but for now he keeps it to himself.  They are friends, good friends even; without Kaidan, Rhys might not have made it out of Jump Zero alive, and vice versa.  But that said, there are some lines he refuses to cross no matter how close they were, or are.  How long has it been?  Two years since we last talked or saw one another?  A lot has changed since then.  

So, instead he falls back upon a topic that arose during their initial meeting nearly five years ago.  “Canada, huh?  Ever find any dinosaurs up there?”

Silence returns briefly until it is broken by a bark of laughter.  “I swear, you have dinosaurs on the brain!  Do you ever study anything else?”

Affecting a look of disappointment and hurt, though he feels anything but, Rhys half-turns toward him to protest.  “Hey, now!  It’s a fair question.  I mean, I found one around here when I was a kid.  Why not you?  You live in an area that is well known for them!”

“Actually, I don’t,” Kaidan replies around a laugh. “Most have been found in Alberta, not BC.  East of us, next province over.”

Rhys scowls.  “You just didn’t look hard enough or in the right places!”

“I didn’t look for them at all,” Kaidan reiterates around another soft snort.  “That’s your thing, not mine.”

“What was your thing then?”

“Hockey.”

Rolling his eyes heavenward, Rhys collapses back against the log.  “Of course, it was.”  

Kaidan uses his knee to nudge into Rhys’ shoulder a moment later, still laughing.  “You say that like it’s a bad thing.”

“A typical Canadian thing,” Rhys corrects.

“I’m sorry?”

“As is that!”  Rhys downs the rest of his bottle and sets it aside before jumping to his feet.  

Kaidan’s laughter is not so silent nor subtle as he drinks.  “And you aren’t stereotypical?” he challenges, then points at Rhys with the neck of his beer bottle.  “Your cowboy hat is at the top of the list.  So’s your coat.”

Brushing his hands over the lined denim jacket, Rhys’ scowl darkens.  “This coat is really warm, perfect for the conditions out here.  And this hat,” he lifts it into his hand and runs the fingers of his other hand around the edge of the brim, “was a gift.  I like this hat, thank you very much.”  He tries to take a step forward, but the world starts to spin around him and he throws both hands out to regain his balance, nearly losing the hat into the fire.  

Kaidan snickers.  “What about those boots?”

Lips pursing into a thin line, Rhys focuses on the tips of his well-worn cowboy boots.  “Comfortable.  Don’t you dare make fun of my boots!”  He reaches over and slams his hat down on top of Kaidan’s head as an afterthought.

“Hey!”

Kaidan’s protest triggers a giggle from Rhys who pulls up his omni-tool in a quick motion.  “Look at me!”  His friend obliges without hesitation, allowing Rhys to snap a picture of him in the hat.  

Apparently, it is the wrong action to take?  Kaidan lunges toward him and the omni-tool, but the hat falls down over his eyes and he stumbles before makes it.  For just a moment, time slows around them.  Rhys’ lungs seize up as the predicament becomes clear, and he reacts out of instinct, tossing out a protective field of energy that wraps around his companion to not only stops his momentum, but hold him in place until Rhys grasps him by the arm and tugs him away from the edge of the fire.

What he does not expect as they end up eye to eye, nose to nose, is the immediate rush of heat to his cheeks or the flutter of butterflies inside his chest.  Swallowing past a sudden tightness in his throat, he reaches up to flick the underside of the brim of his hat with his fingers just enough so Kaidan’s whiskey-colored gaze meets his.  His breath catches in his chest and he freezes like a deer caught in crosshairs of a rifle.

But where Rhys expects to find the situation become one of embarrassment or awkwardness, he instead is met by something completely unexpected.  He swears the look meeting his is the same one from BAaT in those last days before everything fell apart around them; the one that left Rhys’ tongue tied at the most inconvenient and embarrassing moments …  

From one moment to the next, the distance between them – or what little remains of it – closes.  Kaidan slides a hand around the back of Rhys’ head, fingers combing through his hair yet carefully avoiding his amp port.  At the same time, Rhys grasps Kaidan by his hips, slipping his hands into the back pockets of his jeans.  His gaze drops to Kaidan’s lips as he notices the scars at the corner twitch slightly. Warm breath fans across his face and somewhere around them, a soft moan echoes.  Who it comes from, he has no idea.

“Kaid –?”

The first touch of their lips is brief, hesitant, as if testing the water before diving into a pool.  But what starts as a gentle, slow, and searching shifts to something far more scorching and desperate in the beat of a heart.  Jolts of electricity sizzle through him, leaving no limbs, no nerves untouched.  The kiss lasts only for a moment, but when Kaidan pulls away and touches their foreheads together, Rhys is left gasping loudly for breath.  

“Rhys …”

Opening his eyes, Rhys shakes his head just enough to cut him off.  “Don’t,” he pleads.

Kaidan appears rattled.  “Look, I’m sor-.”

Hands still in Kaidan’s pockets, Rhys tugs his hips as close as he can, swallows tightly, then murmurs, “Do it again …”

I was tagged by @ripley95 for Fic Flashback Friday. Thank you!

Messages is a story I wrote a couple of years ago about Kora (Kori) Reese but only began posting it on AO3 in March 2020. It centered around the idea of a female character being part of the original Normandy crew and developing a relationship with Kaidan Alenko. While it actually takes place during the months before the beginning of Mass Effect 3, it details some of their relationship during ME1 and 2 and how they went from crew mates to friends to lovers to ex-flames. and eventually getting back together. I've since written a sequel called Broken Road and a plethora of prompts about their relationship.

I am a huge F!Shenko fan but the idea of Kori kept popping up whenever I went to write Mas Effect. I know first hand that Kaidan is not the most popular romance in the fandom (sometimes problematic for some people even) and pairing him with an OC that is not Shepard almost ensures your story is never going to be a popular one. But they have found an audience with some people and I'm happy with that. I write for me and if you happen to like it too, awesome.

So to introduce Kori and Kaidan here is Chapter 5 of Messages in its entirety. Or you can read Messages from the beginning here on AO3.

Tuesday June 27, 2186 CE, Vancouver-Seattle megaplex, Earth

Reese glanced around the café Kaidan had suggested they meet at. It was in the commercial district of the Vancouver-Seattle megaplex and very busy. It had taken her 25 minutes just to get to the café and make sure it was the right one after the air taxi had dropped her off. She hated crowds almost as much as Kaidan did, but he had insisted they had the best cappuccinos in the city. He had grown up there so he must know. At least she hoped…

She sat at a table for two in the corner waiting for the Major to appear. He was usually the one early and she late but not this time. The Lt. Cmdr. was starting to wonder if he had begun to have second thoughts; she had. But she still came.

Reese glanced at the chrono on her omni-tool. Fifteen minutes late. Did she call him? Message him? Leave a note with the waiter? Just leave and forget about the whole thing?

She let out a frustrated growl as she propped her forehead against her hand. Could things possibly get more complicated? Suddenly her omni-tool signaled that she had a message. Sighing she opened it up guessing it was a ‘sorry couldn’t make it’ text. The holo screen popped up and read, “Look up.”

Frowning the tech glanced up to find a tee shirt and blue jean clad Kaidan Alenko standing before her. He smiled down at her as he held onto a black leather jacket slung over his shoulder. “Hey there.”

“Hey yourself,” she replied as she scooted the opposite chair out for him with her foot. “You’re late, Alenko.”

“Would you believe traffic?” he asked hopefully as he eyed her own outfit. She wore a pair of jeans too but sported a blue tank top covered by a fitted jean jacket. The sentinel’s appreciative gaze was not lost on her.

She decided to give him a break and replied, “I’ll believe you. It took me a while too.”

An expression of relief appeared on his face as he asked, “Thanks. Have you ordered anything?”

“No. That would have been rude,” Reese replied with a smile as she noticed Kaidan was still ‘taking in the view.’ “Is there something I can help you with, Major? You seem to be concentrating very hard on something…”

Kaidan’s face instantly turned red as he cleared his throat. “I, umm, couldn’t help but notice how amazing you look…”

She cocked an eyebrow as she brought up the virtual menu. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” he said as he started looking at the screen. After a moment he glanced back at her and asked, “So you’re not going to hit me?”

Reese snorted and said, “No, I’m not going to hit you, you big baby.”

Kaidan began to protest the name-calling and she added softly, “You were being nice…”

“It was more than being nice, Reese. I meant it. You look beautiful,” he said sincerely as he watched her play with her hair. She wore the long dark locks in a loose side pony tail. Her hair was nearly down to her waist now. Three years ago it had only been to just below her shoulders.

Kaidan grinned as he realized as much as things had changed many things had stayed the same. They sat in silence for several long minutes, each keying in their orders. Finally, after the menu disappeared, she said, “You’re looking good too, Kaidan. Actually it’s given several of the girls I work with plenty of gossip fodder.”

He looked at her closely and said, “You’re…embarrassed. Aren’t you?”

“I didn’t say that,” the tech denied without looking him in the eye.

“You didn’t have to. Everything else did,” he replied with a smirk. “Kora Reese is actually embarrassed.”

“No and don’t use that name,” she snapped.

Kaidan held up his hand in surrender. “Okay. Fine. You’re uncomfortable then, Lt. Cmdr. But why?”

“Kaidan…”

“Don’t Kaidan me. We’ve been talking for months and now I find out you’re uncomfortable. Embarrassed more likely and I’m the cause of it,” Alenko snapped as he slumped against the back of his chair.

“No, that’s not it…I just…I’ve never liked people knowing my business I guess,” Reese replied quietly. “I’m not…They’ve seen me talking to you on the vid chat and I got used to working alone except Tali…and she doesn’t tease…a lot…I just don’t—I didn’t mean—“

“Reese, you’re rambling,’ Alenko said calmly, his own annoyance subsiding.

She looked at him with cloudy grey eyes. “I don’t want to fight, Kaidan. I just want to…spend time with you, get to know you again.”

“I want that too, Reese,” he replied reaching across the table with an opened hand.

She looked into his whiskey colored eyes and then at his hand. Smiling she took it and said, “It’s a step.”

“Baby steps, remember?” he said as their order arrived.

She nodded. Maybe old wounds could heal…

~~

“So is this the end of our ‘coffee’ date then?” Kaidan asked as he kicked the pavement with his boot.

“Well, technically yes, but I…it’s doesn’t really have to be…” Reese replied slowly as she looked at his boot. He did look really good out of uniform…

Alenko snapped his head up to look at the Lt. Cmdr. in surprise. “What does that mean?”

She looked up shyly at him. “I…I’m not exactly sure but I don’t think I want to end our date just yet.”

“Reese, I don’t want to push—“

“Kaidan, you were never able to push me into anything…except maybe a wall and that lead to other things…” she interrupted and then trailed off as soon as she remembered what she was saying.

The Major hesitantly reached for her hand and offered, “We could go somewhere else. It’s still light out. There’s a park…and a beach but that’s too far—“

“We’ve been to a park and I’m not going to the beach without a swim suit,” she replied as he started to withdraw his hand.

“We could go back to one of our places…” she added as she grabbed his hand.

“Reese, I’m not sure that’s…”

“Kaidan, if you don’t want to—“

“Oh no, Reese, I didn’t say that. It’s just…after everything…”

“Kaidan, we both said we wanted another chance, but we have to be able to take hold of it…”

Suddenly she found herself pulled into Kaidan’s strong embrace, one hand wrapped tightly around her waist, the other cradling the base of her head. She felt his five o’clock shadow graze her face as he lightly kissed her cheek. Reese found herself returning the embrace without hesitation and sighed.

After what seemed like an eternity, Kaidan whispered into her ear, “We’re drawing attention, Kori.”

She pulled away and looked around. Apparently the passersby had nothing better to do than stare, but Reese thought that she heard Kaidan’s name repeated several times. She snorted and said softly, “I think you’ve got a fanbase, Major.”

He looked around more closely himself and retorted, “Maybe they like the hot chick I’m with.”

“Don’t call me a chick, techboy,” she cautioned as he began leading her by the hand away towards an air taxi call point.

“I love it when you’re bossy,” Kaidan said as he signaled for a taxi.

She laughed and replied, “Patience, techboy, patience.”

~~

Alenko woke up in an unfamiliar place on an unfamiliar couch with something warm next to him. He blinked back the sleep and glanced beside him. He found Reese spooned up against him, her head resting on his shoulder, her hair spilling across his chest. He reached down and caressed her check. They had fallen asleep at her apartment watching old 20th century movies.

She stirred slightly and then smiled. “Kaid.”

He couldn’t help but smile at the use of her nick name for him. He leaned over and kissed her forehead. “I’m here, Kori.”

“Don’t leave,” she said sleepily, curling up to him.

He couldn’t decide if she was awake or not. He wasn’t sure what to say. Everything had been so jumbled and then he’d run into her by chance and now here he was on her couch with her. Instead he settled for hugging her tightly to his chest as he ran a hand through her long dark hair. He had missed playing with the long-tangled tresses. The few times they had truly been alone he had even brushed it for her which usually led to something else. He’d never admit to anyone how much of a thing he had for her long hair, but it wasn’t like it was a secret to her.

As he continued to play with her wavy locks, she stirred again. This time she opened her eyes and smiled at him. Her grey eyes were calm and content as she placed a hand on his cheek. “You stayed.”

“Yeah,” he said simply with a grin meant only for her.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

What if Rainbow six siege had a TV series ? (part 1)

I think we can all agree that it would be magnificent given the two animated shorts Ubisoft has given us.

But ... it would it be like ?

I mean the episodes ect ... because you don’t watch a series just because you love the characters (unless you are a total fan)

Personally, I think it would be episodes around 25-30 minutes or even 40 minutes for big episodes, and of course it would be in animation. It would mainly talk about short stories with various operatives of team rainbow. I don’t personally think it would talk about rainbow fighting White masks, well, not mainly but they would be here as an excuse for all CTU of the world to join their forces. (I think that way because we haven’t heard of them since a while and even Ubisoft seems to have forgotten them)

How many episodes ? 25 would be a good number in my opinion.

oh, and also every episode would begin with a short speech from Harry that would introduce the episode since Harry is the character that connects to all the operators.

So let’s see,(in my dreams and opinion) what would it be like pt 1 (épisodes 1-9)

- Episode 1: Codename: Rainbow

Main character: Harry

Summary: Harry would do a long speech introducing briefly EVERY ,and insist on every, operator to introduce everyone to those who don’t play the game and to possibly refresh the memory of some people.

- Episode 2: Broken sisters

Main characters: Harry, Ela and Zophia

Summary: Due to a recent fight between the Bosak sisters that ended with many bandages and maybe one or two broken limbs Harry decide to reconsolidate the Sisters but the past seems more harder than it looks like.

- Episode 3: Veterans

Main characters: Thatcher, Kaid and Capitao

Summary: The three elders of team rainbow usually see each other to discuss about how to make the “younger generations” less dependent of technology but this night they come to discuss about ,old ,impacting missions for them.

- Episode 4: MEDIC !!!!

Main characters: Doc, Lion, Finka, Twitch and Harry

Summary: While working with Lion and Doc, Finka witness another argument between the two French medics and even if the previous times it seemed relatively harmless, this time is much cruel and violent. So with the help of Twitch (who have enough of their childish fights) and Harry they decide to calm down the tension but easier said than done ...

- Episode 5: A day at the lab

Main character: Mira

Summary: Being the R&D director of team rainbow is really tough. In this episode we see Mira testing, fixing gadgets and other stuff alone or with other operators. (This episode is especially dialogues between Mira and other talking about her and how she manages all the stress and work)

- Episode 6: The daughter

Main character: Smoke and his daughter 

Summary: Smoke’s daughter comes to the base for his birthday without him knowing it. Harry(who welcomed her) talk with her about how it is to be the child of an operator and after that she wanders around the base seeing other operatives (while avoiding her dad for he surprise) and talk with them while they are surprised that a kid is in the base.

- Episode 7: Peekaboo

Main character: Vigil

Summary: While on an otage rescue mission Vigil find kids that hid while the White masks took their parents as hostages. Their fear and behavior reminds of Vigil dark parts of his childhood ... and this isn’t a great timing to have a traumatic flashback

- Episode 8: The newcomer

Main characters: Iana and Harry

Summary: Iana is rather new in team rainbow and she have some problems when it comes to knowing other operators due to a social shyness that she have. Harry will help her in this process

- Episode 9: Operation Adrenaline

Main characters: Gridlock and Mozzie

Summary: Gridlock and Mozzie are deployed for a mission and Mozzie will make a huge mess which makes the mission harder but Gridlock is used to it and it make her remember how they met (this episode is an episode of action even if we see some flashback of the Australians friends and their longtime friendship)

Welp, it’s hue right , Send me some asks if you want me to detail some episodes (like you ask me to detail episode 2 I will tell you the whole story of the episode and adding the cinematic point of view(long shot, close ups ect ...)

See you soon !

There were few things that made we wonder and curious after watching YASHAHIME ep 2 that may or will be explained as the series continues.

The things and situations in YASHAHIME that made me wonder and curious were:

Setsuna's mokoko. When the anime showed Towa and Setsuna's past, I noticed that she didn't have it so I thought that maybe it was just a part of her armour.

The second would the part where Sota seemed to know where Towa came from. I guess Sota wasn't surprised on where Towa came from since his big sister went back and forth through the feudal era and the present era.

The third would the part where Moroha used her bow and arrow and how kohaku was surprised. I then remembered the question that keeps bothering me ( and I guess the inuyasha fans???), " Why did Kohaku not know about inuyasha and kagome's daughter or did he ever know that sesshomaru had two daughters also. But I guess it will explained later in the series or idk..

The 4th one would be the part where Kaide went outside to see what was happening. I noticed that she seems to be living alone and had no companion. I almost cried in that part because of wondering on what the hell happened to inuyasha, kagome, shippo, Rin, sesshomaru, miroku and Sango.

The last one would be the part where Towa introduced the people whom she lived with and who were her step-relatives ( which I suppose is not a step cause kagome is married to inuyasha and sesshomaru is inuyasha's half bro sooo Yeh.) I noticed this from the first episode but still wasn't sure until I saw ep 2. It seems Sota, his mother and grandpa never told Towa about him having an elder sister. As shown from the first episode where Towa seemed to be confused and curious on who lady kagome was.

The other thing that made me wonder and curious would be the so called rainbow pearls the 3 girls posses. I have a feeling that those pearls are connected to the reason on why some of the old characters are not there. It's only a feeling soooo I'm not sure and Yeh.

But anyway overall the anime was good and those three are soooooo precious! ILUVDEM UWU💖💖💖😆😆😆

Favourite female voice:

Uff... None, really. They're all super good, tho I liked Hibana's old voice more than the new one and Mira's new one is so bad😭

Favourite male voice:

Glaz, perhaps? Just bc I love him so much, cause otherwhise I don't have a fave. (Tho the Russian's voices are all, ahem, good)

Favourite gun:

Probably the MP5 cause it's the one I'm most familiar with in game and irl

Do you write about R6S? If so, for who and what?

I write everything for everyone. There's little taboo's I have, none that people would request anyway. As of now the onyl requests I turned away are those that got sent in despite all spots being full.

Do you (want to) cosplay?

No, never been a huge fan of it.

Do you use VC in game?

Yes! I'm rather outgoing, and despite the toxicity towards female gamers the posirice encounters outdo the few bad ones:)

Do you cope with stressful situations well?

I wouldn't be working the job I do if I couldn't, so yes.

Do you rather play solo or with friends?

Friends, ofc! Siege solo is so boring, plus all the toxicity as a solo player... Aka being kickvoted and teamkilled for no reason. Nope, always in a squad.

Do you do anything special with others in the fandom?

I did a writing trade once (I'd love to do one again), I draw people's OC's and custom made operator icons for said OC's. I've also / am also rp'ing with other peeps and their OC's. (Not to say hit me up if you want any of those, but like... Hit me up)

Do you have a R6S OC? If so give a short bio!

My characters are way too thought out to summarise them so shortly, I feel like. But to give a lil info still:

OC no. 1: Vittoria "Ragno" de Angelo | British sniper | Defender

OC no. 2: Arsenio "Ossos" Caravelho | Portugese GOE | Attacker

I tag @qquell , @zedhead , @something-in-red , @rexcaliburr , @rainbowsixsiegeimagines and everyone who wants to do it, I tag you!:)
