For Snow on twt who asked for #24 - in danger 💖

✵✵✵

“This is it, Thor. We might not make it out alive from this one,” Loki says, eyes filling with tears as he looks at his warrior brother.

Thor grabs his forearm, pulls him close. “No, please don't say that,” he says when he presses their foreheads together. Both looking at the other in despair.

A trembling hand cups Thor's cheek and the kiss they share holds a feeling of finality. A tear is rolling down warm cheeks, an eerie growling rising in level as the Great Beast of the North stomps its way to where they are hiding, making the very ground shake beneath it.

“Whatever might happen, know that I've-I’ve loved you dearly,” Loki confesses wetly.

Another heart-shattering kiss, the emotions shared through it bigger than they could ever express with words. Loki's name whispered in adoration, unfathomable love.

“NO! LOKI!” Comes the terrified shout when Loki shakes off Thor's grasp and turns to face the beast that's finally rounding on them.

They stare at each other for a long moment—Loki and the beast—and then, with a deep breath, Loki prepares his attack.

It feels like the dice on the small coffee table rolls forever before it lands on a number.

Critical 20.

“HA! TAKE THIS BITCH! I CAST FIREBALL!”

“Your attack is successful. The fireball hits the beast between the eyes and it dies with a long groan,” Steve describes and the entire party jumps on their feet, shouting and yelling in excitement as the beast is defeated.

Loki doesn't have time to crow in victory before Thor is pulling him into a deep, soul-changing, world-altering kiss. Moaning, he grabs on his warrior’s shoulders, pulls him firmly against his own body and they kiss for long, long, looong minutes until-

“Um…guys?” Tony coughs, “this is all very hot to see but we were kind of in the middle of something here…”

Loki flaps a hand at him, uncaring of anything else but Thor and his mouth on his and his big, warm hands roaming his body.

“Ooookay. So, scene change,” Steve says, “Natasha and Clint are in the woods, journeying towards the renown town of Nidaleir-”

✵✵✵

I know, I'm sorry but I really couldn't resist this bunny on crack 😅 I hope you enjoyed and that it got a laugh out of you anyway💖

i love when words fit right. seize was always supposed to be that word, and so was jester. tuesday isn't quite right but thursday should be thursday, that's a good word for it. daisy has the perfect shape to it, almost like you're laughing when you say it; and tulip is correct most of the time. while keynote is fun to say, it's super wrong - i think they have to change the label for that one. but fox is spot-on.

most words are just, like, good enough, even if what they are describing is lovely. the night sky is a fine term for it but it isn't perfect the way november is the correct term for that month.

it's not just in english because in spanish the phrase eso si que es is correct, it should be that. sometimes other languages are also better than the english words, like how blue is sloped too far downwards but azul is perfect and hangs in the air like glitter. while butterfly is sweet, i think probably papillion is more correct, although for some butterflies féileacán is much better. year is fine but bliain is better. sometimes multiple languages got it right though, like how jueves and Πέμπτη are also the right names for thursday. maybe we as a species are just really good at naming thursdays.

and if we were really bored and had a moment and a picnic to split we could all sit down for a moment and sort out all the words that exist and find all the perfect words in every language. i would show you that while i like the word tree (it makes you smile to say it), i think arbor is correct. you could teach me from your language what words fit the right way, and that would be very exciting (exciting is not correct, it's just fine).

i think probably this is what was happening at the tower of babel, before the languages all got shifted across the world and smudged by the hand of god. by the way, hand isn't quite right, but i do like that the word god is only 3 letters, and that it is shaped like it is reflecting into itself, and that it kind of makes your mouth move into an echoing chapel when you cluck it. but the word god could also fit really well with a coathanger, and i can't explain that. i think donut has (weirdly) the same shape as a toothbrush, but we really got bagel right and i am really grateful for that.

grateful is close, but not like thunder. hopefully one day i am going to figure out how to shape the way i love my friends into a little ceramic (ceramic is very good, almost perfect) pot and when they hold it they can feel the weight of my care for them. they can put a plant in there. maybe a daisy.

#warm up #writeblr.#i am not going to personally comment on the pineapple debate #some things are too big for me.#maybe we could have everything on earth choose their own names.#wouldn't that be fun #it is a creative writing exercise. okay. ily #''why only these languages?'' ..... bc i dont know every language #sorry :(#PLEASE leave me comments about what words u think are correct. i love learning them #btw! this isn't saying these are the most BEAUTIFUL words for it... just the words that are the most CORRECT #like i quite like the word ''keynote'' as mentioned. it's got a lot of fun sounds in it.#but it is not CORRECT.#''gloaming''' is interesting and fun and poetic but it is NOT correct . evening is MORE correct #but less beautiful.#does that make sense?

Prologue: The First Master

(My Prologue to a He-Man Re-Imagined Origin story, all opinions welcomed)

Far off in the deepest parts of the Dark Hemisphere, the ancient city of Spalizia lay. Not many people knew about his realm, apart from the fact that it was inhabited by some of the strangest beings in all of Eternia. Many of them have said to worshipers of the great darknesses that made up the universe. Bizarre rituals and sacrifices tended to happen in this place, but so long as one did not put their nose into other people’s businesses, one would be fine.

In the dark underbelly of it, all was the temple of the Faceless One, a powerful sorcerer of old, trapped forever in the stones of his fortress. Not many knew about where he came from, and he himself did not remember his own name. All he knew was that he was trapped here, as a guardian of ancient artifacts, that in the wrong hands could prove devastating. Many of the forces of evil would seek to control such weapons

Evil, like the ones that came right now.

From above, he could hear the sounds of screaming and attacks as explosions came from afar. Something or someone had come. Sadly from down here, there was nothing he could do about it. His powers were limited, and only had so much sway inside his temple.

“Father!”

The Faceless One gasped as he turned around, a young woman dressed in a drab portal, with a large metal orbed staff and headpiece arrived, his one and only daughter.

“Evelyn!” He gasped, it had been so long since he had seen her, since she had left to join off with the darkness, “What are you doing here?”

“To warn you,” She said, slowly approaching him “He is coming”

BANG!

The last BANG caused the entrance to his chambers to be destroyed, the dust began to form around it. From the dust thugs, and goons, a whole gang of this figure's minions came at him with everything they had. But the fools were nothing but brainless morons. The Faceless One was a sorcerer of great power that had been around since before the rising sun.

With his magical abilities, the Faceless One could take most of them down. From the large harry looking beast-man to the mechanically armed, metal jaw brute. All the while he dodged a blast from a metal tri-clops that blasted several beams of energy. While another array of them too, but he was strong and powerful…for he was the faceless one.

Though something was wrong.

Throughout the fight, Evelyn didn’t seem to fight at all but instead was just sitting there watching. Something was wrong, his daughter normally didn’t just sit there passively, she was just as powerful, as much as he was if not more so.

“Are you here to stand by my side? The Faceless One asked.

Evelyn stared at him for a moment and smirked, “No actually, I’m here to help the one I work for,” raising her staff she blasted him down before he could do anything.

The energy of the magic weakened him before he could do anything to stop it. A loud explosion followed this, a group of horrid warriors arrived, surrounded the area, and began to search around and plunder the place.

“And by the way…It’s Evil-Lyn!” She looked to the other goons who entered the room, “Search the area!”

In the distance, a nasal chuckle echoed in the room, “So commanding! I know you were my second in command for a reason”

“You!” The Faceless One looked up

One by one a group of misshapen beasts, going to and other servants arrived from tall furry beast men to a misshapen cyborg. All of them were known to be part of a group simply calling themselves the ‘Evil Warriors’ and at the cent of it all was their leader, a pale skilled looking man in a purple cloak and hood. He arrived holding an object that too came from this place, the “Havoc Staff” so the man’s return was a sign of things to come.

“Skeletor!” The Faceless one hissed.

“In the flesh…Up to the head” Skeletor snickered.

“Boo!” Someone shouted in the background

“Oh come on! It was a good joke!” Skeletor whined.

“No, it wasn’t!”

“No one asked your opinion Tri-Klops!” Skeletor shouted, his eyes glowing red.

“Don’t care!”

Skeletor groaned and began muttering under his breath “No good bungling….”

“Why are you here!” The Faceless One demanded, tired of the constant talk.

The Faceless One knew about this creature, a wannabe world conqueror who thought that whatever associate of friends and goons had managed to establish a gang that terrorized the Darm Hemisphere. They apparently began on Eternia proper itself, long before that mystical wall trapped everyone who lived on this side of the planet in lifelong imprisonment. Their leader Skeletor had big dreams of planetary conquest, to rule all of Eternia and take the throne from the current royal family.

Walking into the light the stranger revealed his face, or at least, where a face was instead laid a skull, a floating skull where a void replaced where eyes should be. But the moth was edged in a crooked grin, a sight of the evil intent that he wished to inflict upon his place.

The Faceless one got up as two of Skeletor’s henchmen grabbed him pinning him down.

Skeletor slowly walked up to him with a malevolent glint in his eye, “Why fight me? We are more alike than you care to admit”

“Really? I may be exiled, but I do not consider myself bathed in the stench of failure and inadequacy”

Skeletor scoffed, “Then why are you the one captured”

“Because my goals in life don’t involve sitting upon the throne of Eternia, something you currently haven’t been able to achieve in the last two decades. Because I do obsess over trying to build an army that will one day rule over the planet”.

“I will have my army! And Etenria will be mine!”

“Then where is the army” The Faceless One chuckled.

They both stared at each other in silence. While the Faceless One had not met Skeletor much in person he had observed him enough to see signs and weaknesses. The one thing he knew was that this self-proclaimed Overlord of Evil had an ego that could be easily bruised.

“Boob!” Skeletor scoffed “Hold him down!”

The Faceless One was pushed to his knees as he watched Skeletor move around the chamber.

“Quite unless the boss talks to yuh” The beast-man sneered.

“Why are you here Skeletor!”

“I am here for something you possess, you are a collector of what many would consider evil artifacts. I am someone who sees no labels and thus desire one particular artifact that you may have”.

Skeletor began going through the chamber moving various items and looking over various shelves. Apart from messing up the Faceless Ones’ meticulous sorting system, the evil skeleton seemed determined to find whatever he was looking for.

“Careful Skeletor” Evil-Lyn said, “I know my father, he loves to leave traps in places”

“Bah! Evil-Lyn I think I know a trap when I-ACK!”

Skeletor was blasted back by a bolt of energy knocking him against the wall and landing with a loud crash and thug.

“Warned you” Evil-Lyn snickered.

Skeletor sneered at her, “Then YOU find it then if you’re so clever”

“I am actually” Evil-Lyn put her fingers over her head as her eyes glowed pink, the inner power that lay within her began to emulate as it began to connect with the dark forces of the chasm, “Found it”

“Daughter! I beg you, don’t give it to him!”

Evil-Lyn snickered, “Apologies father, but I am not shackled by your rules, granted…I never was”

Finally, she approached the destination in question, a nearby wall with a mural of a battle-long bast. Evil-Lyn used her magic to break a hole through it and inside a small box lay. Carefully she took it, holding it as if it was about to erupt if she moved too hastily.

“Is this what you are after?”

Skeletor jumped to his feet looking with delight, “Yes! Yes! Oh this is it indeed” he opened the box and began to wield the object inside, a thin purple glow emanating on his face.

“The sword of darkness” Skeletor held atop the sword swinging it around, “A mimicking of a far deadlier weapon from a far-off world, made by cultists, worshipers of the Ancient Spirits of Evil, who were gifted steal from Plun Dar itself. For my purpose though...good enough”

Turning to the faceless one Skeletor bowed.

“Thank you so much for your hospitality, oh and don’t worry your daughter is doing one heck of a job as an Evil Warrior, top marks and promotions arise, hehe”

“Fool!” The Faceless spat, “You think you can control the power you have, you’ll burn”

Skeletor snickered and revealed that to wear a face would lie, instead a skull now lay, “Oh…I already have, you didn’t think I was born with this skull face did yuh…Evil-Lyn! Take care of him”

“With pleasure”.

“Curse you Skeletor” The Faceless One hissed, “Curse you and the day you ever met my daughter, if I had my way I-”

“You’d what! Go back in time and kill a child?” Skeletor snickered, “Now that is Evil, and I’m the Overlord of it…Now, I bid you goodbye…BOOB!”.

The Faceless One could only watch in horror knowing that the power that had been taken could be unleashed as Skeletor and his Evil Warriors walked off. Though the final sight, the sign of his daughter raising her own magical staff with a smirk at hand, blasting him with a magic so powerful that soon all became darkness, his only hope was that something or someone could prevent a greater danger to come.

To protect the Power of Grayskull.

@shinjiroatae1126: To all my fans, today was a very special day for me. For years, I struggled to accept a part of myself...But now, after all I have been through, I finally have the courage to open up to you about something. I am a gay man. It has taken me a long time to be able to say I am gay. I could not even say it to myself. However, I’ve come to realize it is better, both for me, and for the people I care about, including my fans, to live life authentically than to live a life never accepting who I truly am. I hope people who are struggling with the same feeling will find courage and know they are not alone.

ps, he’s released a new song, “into the light”, which you can watch here. part of the proceeds from the single will go to lgbtq+ organisations

@shinjiroatae1126: July 26th, 2023 was a big day for me. I finally gathered the courage to come out to the public as a gay man. I am grateful to have received media coverage from multiple platforms both within Japan and overseas.

To be honest, I was extremely anxious before all of this happened. However, I've been pleasantly surprised to discover the overwhelming amount of positive feedback pouring in from both my fans and people who have come across the news about me. It's heartwarming to see that my story is being acknowledged from all around the world, and this brings me immense joy. Although they may be baby steps, I sense that this world is gradually moving into the light. Yesterday, I made an announcement about resuming my career as an artist. I also released a new song titled “Into The Light”. The music video for the song is also on YouTube now. This song is packed with the emotions and thoughts leading up to this point, including my decision to come out. Living with anxieties and struggles is not limited to just LGBTQ+ individuals. I hope this song can be a source of encouragement for anyone carrying such emotions. I've aimed for it to become a song that can uplift those with similar feelings. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Pride House Tokyo, Japan’s first permanent LGBTQ+ center, and ReBit, an organization providing resources and support for LGBTQ+ youth. I hope this song will touch many hearts.🙏🌈

At first, there was total silence. Then, there were shrieks, wild applause, weeping and shouts of “I love you!”

Fans of Shinjiro Atae, a J-pop idol who has been on a nearly two-year performance hiatus, had come to hear him talk about “the challenge of my life.” Standing onstage in a dark auditorium in front of 2,000 fans in central Tokyo on Wednesday night, he revealed something he has kept hidden for most of his life: He is gay.

“I respect you and believe you deserve to hear this directly from me,” he said, reading from a letter he had prepared. “For years, I struggled to accept a part of myself. But now, after all I have been through, I finally have the courage to open up to you about something. I am a gay man.”

Such an announcement is extremely unusual in conservative Japan, the only G7 country that has not legalized same-sex unions. Earlier this summer, the Japanese Parliament passed an L.G.B.T.Q rights bill but it had been watered down by the political right, stating that there “should be no unfair discrimination” against gay and transgender people.

In making a public declaration, the 34-year-old Mr. Atae, who spent two decades performing with AAA, a hit Japanese pop group, before embarking on a solo career, said he wanted his fans to know his true self. He also hopes to comfort those who might be grappling with anxieties about their sexuality.

“I don’t want people to struggle like me,” he said.

AAA debuted in 2005, with Mr. Atae, the youngest member, forgoing high school. He performed mostly as a dancer, and began appearing in TV series and movies.

His sexuality perplexed him. “It was a time when on TV, comedians would say two men kissing was gross,” he said. If anyone asked if he had a girlfriend, he just said he was too busy working.

Activists said they could not recall an instance when a Japanese pop star of his stature had publicly declared they were gay, because of anxieties about losing fans or sponsors.

“I think he has decided to come out in order to change Japan,” said Gon Matsunaka, a director and adviser to Pride House Tokyo, a support center for the gay and transgender community.

The decision to open up about his sexuality, he said, evolved over seven years of living in Los Angeles, where he saw how freely gay couples could show affection in public and built an extensive support network.

“Everyone was so open,” he said. “People would talk about their vulnerabilities. In Japan, people think it’s best not to talk about those things.”

Mr. Atae’s decision, he said, was not political. All he wanted, he said, was to “normalize” being gay. Coming out, he knew, would likely draw criticism. “Whatever you do, there will be haters,” he said. “I can only focus on the people I might be helping.”

#this made my week :')#please give his new song a listen and leave him a lovely comment on instagram #shinjiro atae #aaa #japan #jpop #queer #lgbt #lgbtq #gay #long post

If you don't think that fanfic writers get attached to their commenters and repeat commenters... you're crazy.

There's people who comment on my stories, disappear for months at a time, then comment when they catch up and I almost always remember their tagnames. It means the WORLD to me as a writer to have people who comment both regularly and irregularly on my stories/oneshots/moodboards.

When you guys go away for a few weeks or months... we notice! We hope you're okay and just taking a break, and when you come back rested and excited to read more stories, we're so happy to have you back.

So yes, please comment on stories even if it's once in a blue moon. You're not annoying, you're not overbearing for multiple comments or being super excited. You're helping fuel a writer to keep writing just to see what you have to say next about the next chapter! You're doing the Lord's work with your comments!

Whether you leave a Russian novel in a comment, or just go "noice", like... it makes the writer brain go !!!!!!💞

#noice #just a thought #people tell me they don't wanna be annoying #but sis #you're not!!!#you're so helpful and get us amped the fuck up and excited!#please leave comments #its so nice #even if u just say I'm like 😚😚😚😚

☆ even the gods bleed [ pt 2 ]

{☆} characters furina, neuvillette {☆} notes cult au, imposter au, multi-chapter, gender neutral reader {☆} warnings none {☆} word count 1.9k {☆} previous [ 1 ]

This had to be a punishment of some sort – some kind of divine punishment.

She was bored out of her mind just watching the sleeping body – she hadn't blinked once in the past five hours, her eyes were really starting to hurt. Yet they still hadn't moved so much as an inch since she sequestered them away to the only place she had known to be safe.

But it'd been almost a week since then.

The only solace she found was that Teyvat had seemed much less hellbent on collapsing in on itself like a dying star.

That counted for something.

Not much, but something!

..Even if their position was no better then it was a week ago.

There was, after all, still the issue of what to do about the false Creator – the actual imposter – and the Archons following them like blind lambs. The other Archons wouldn't listen if she tried to reason with them, and it would only risk the life of Divine One if she spoke of their location to anyone else.

She also was pretty fond of having her head still attached to her shoulders.

So she avoided them all together. Partially because she wasn't sure she wouldn't have a breakdown at the sight of them..she'd never been a fighter, and fighting an Archon? Easy pass.

Instead she was forced to babysit the sleeping Divine until they woke up while Neuvillette handled taking care of the nation and dealing with the other Archons – and by extension the false Creator.

Really though, she would almost think them dead if not for the subtle rise and fall of their chest.

Though..this also left her with a lot of time to herself. A lot of time to think.

She really didn't like it.

There wasn't a lot to occupy her mind and what little there was only distracted her for a scant few moments before her eyes drifted back to the Divine like she was locked in their orbit, unable to escape.

She closed the same book for the twelfth time – she kept count – and returned it to it's meticulously designed place within her bookcase. A low, barely audible huff of frustration escaped her lips before she could bite it down, her stare boring a hole into the body of the Divine One with a sharp intensity she rarely showed.

She was tired, bored and constantly on edge, fearing that at any moment someone would find out about their presence here.

That, at the drop of a hat, she would be powerless to stop the greatest tragedy of her time play out before her eyes.

Neuvillette would have scolded her for being so petulant, especially around the Divine One, if he were here.

But he wasn't.

He was out running her nation, instead.

And what was she doing? Nothing!

She grit her teeth, nails digging harshly into the palm of her hands as she took a deep breath – now was not the time to think about that. She had..much more pressing matters. Sulking and letting her thoughts spiral helped no one, least of all herself.

Yet her attention was caught by a harsh inhale, the rustle of fabric – were they finally waking up? She was exhausted, but it all vanished at the sudden drop of life within the otherwise deathly still body of the Divine.

Her eyes followed the subtle twitch of their fingers, watching as their brow furrowed and their features twisted in something almost like..pain.

..She wasn't ready.

What was she supposed to say?

Should she even say anything? Would that be considered impolite? Does she wait for them to speak first? Should she kneel? Bow?

She doesn't get much time to find her own answer before their lashes flutter, chest heaving with every strangled breath. Every single thought vanishes from her mind the moment she meets their eyes.

For a long, silent moment she thinks that her heart must have stopped.

Their eyes glow like the cresting of the sun over the horizon, painting the world in hues of gold – yet it also reminded her of the dipping of the moon below the waves, casting the briefest, most gentle of lights upon the world engulfed in darkness. In the depths of their eyes was the birth and death of stars in the infinite cosmos – glittering stars in a sea of empty, blank space that left her feeling lightheaded and breathless.

Beneath the splendor is a spark of recognition in their eyes so vibrant it was like a shooting star piercing through the dark night sky, leaving nothing but the wonder in the eyes of the observer as the only proof it ever existed – brilliant in it's beauty, however brief.

It is the most beautiful thing she has ever seen.

"Focalors?"

The lilt of their voice nearly made her knees buckle beneath her – euphoria so consuming it left her feeling she was starving swallowed her whole, her mind blanking in a moment of utter bliss. It was..an indescribable feeling that she doubted she could ever hope to put into words – not in a way that could properly express it, try as she might.

She swallowed the words that threatened to spill from her lips – she couldn't make a fool of herself. Not in front of them of all people. She'd never forgive herself.

"Divine One," She rasps, clearing her throat and covering her mouth with a hand to mask both her nervousness and the small smile that creeps across her face. She quickly regains her composure, hand resting on her hip as she puffs out her chest with every bit of pride she can manage. "I am sure you must be confused, but worry not– your most loyal acolyte has seen the truth!"

The silence is deafening.

She opens one eye, peaking at the bewildered and almost distraught expression of the Divine.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

That..she was not prepared for. Surely they knew who they were! Surely they knew. They had to– she's been praying to them for as long as she's breathed, she's dedicated every hour of her life to living up to their ideals, they can't just–!

"Lady Furina?"

Neuvillette, thankfully, spares her the embarrassment of having a meltdown in front of the Divine, the gentle rap of his knuckles against the door making her and the Divine pause, the soft lull of his voice soothing her nerves and yet setting her on edge at the same time.

"Neuvillette." She clears her throat again, her steps hurried as she marches to the door and pries it open none too gently, a forced smile pulling at her lips. She wastes no time tugging the man into the room, shutting the door behind him with a short huff. The silence is, somehow, even worse then before as the three of them stare at each other in absolute exasperation.

Neuvillette, for his part, manages to get his act together with a sharp clearing of his throat, bowing so low even she looks unnerved. She steals a brief glance at the Divine, and she's taken aback by the uncomfortability twisting their features into a grimace.

Their expression is schooled back into one of empty apathy when he stands back to his full height, but she saw it – she knows she did! Did they not like their worship? Were they not respectful enough? For a moment, she feared the Divine would smite Neuvillette down on the spot..but they just stared at him like he was a ghost.

"Why aren't you killing me?"

The defeated, resigned tone combined with the way their voice cracks makes her heart ache in her chest – it feels as though her entire world is crumbling down at her feet, and she cannot explain why she feels such emotions so strongly, but it is suffocating. It is almost as if Teyvat itself is weeping, bearing down upon her shoulders like a heavy weight.

She feels the urge to weep herself, but she powers through, gritting her teeth long enough for Neuvillette to take his place at the side of her – though it feels more like their – bed, kneeling like he was going to pray.

"Divine One," He offers a hand with a quiet rumble of his voice, the words slipping off his tongue like honey. It's like trying to soothe a stray cat..though she'd never voice such comparisons of the most Divine out loud. "I..we mean you no harm. I swear on my authority as the Iudex of Fontaine and Chief Justice that you are safe with us."

The skepticism she expected, but the reverence in which Neuvillette must convince them – or perhaps they are simply so tired that they simply did not care any longer if it was all some ploy to drive a knife between their ribs. She didn't expect them to actually place their hand in Neuvillette's.

He didn't either, judging by the way he visibly brightened – not that they'd notice, but she did.

..Not that she could really blame him, her heels clicking against the floorboards as she shifted her weight to the other foot with a nervous energy that was practically bursting at the seams, more then a little jealous of the attention he was receiving. She was the one who found them, she was the one who stayed with them the entire time..but he gets all the attention?

How unfair.

"O-of course! We would never lay a hand on our creator," She adds, her voice a little higher pitched then she would have liked as she placed her hands on her hips, puffing out her chest and brushing off the sting of jealousy. "Least of all I– your most loyal, most devout acolyte!"

She felt baffled when she heard the sound of their laughter, her shoulders hunching and her cheeks flushing on mere instinct – she was expecting mockery, but the look in their eyes, still dulled by a pain she cannot even begin to imagine, made her hesitate.

..It was, perhaps, the most genuine thing she'd heard from them ever since before the hunt began.

She wasn't sure why her heart hurt at such an idea, but it was enthralling to see the beginnings of a half hearted smile on their lips.

For a moment, her mask of theatrics was forgotten as she stared at them in a mixture of awe and adoration– and though she didn't look at Neuvillette, she could imagine he must've shared such an expression.

Had she any doubts that they were her Creator, that they alone were the most Divine..they would wiped clean now. There was no mistaking the way the world itself seemed to grow clearer as they glanced up at her like she was worth something.

For a moment, she realized how cold the false Creators gaze had been now that she has felt warmth so gentle it almost made her knees buckle beneath her. It felt like a pale imitation, now.

Nothing could compare to the warmth that spread through her body at the mere semblance of a smile upon their lips. She didn't even mind if it was her they were laughing at anymore, she just wanted to hear them laugh again.

She'd make a fool of herself, if she had to.

She'd never felt so..ravenous for such a thing, but just the briefest glimpse was addictive.

She simply couldn't help herself from striding across the room and clasping their free hand in her own, her smile wide enough to unnerve as she leaned her weight onto the bed. For a moment, she considered pulling away at the way they startled, but her mind was made up by then – there was no going back.

"Again."
