EDIT: I FORGOT MIU AND TSUMUGI IM SORRY

----------------------

Shuichi Saihara

Very shy about cuddling, but he absolutely loves it

The feeling of your body pressed up against his, your breath on his neck just makes him melt inside

He adores spooning you, though he gets a bit shy when he’s the little spoon

He loves being held by you, sometimes resting his head on your chest as you pet his hair

It relieves so much stress for him, and he’s a pretty stressed out guy

He doesn’t have a favourite position, as long as he close to you

But if he had to choose, he loves spooning

Either way, he loves feeling protected and protecting you

Kaede Akamatsu

She loves cuddles!

She’s not shy about it at all, pulling you close to her when you two are sitting together

She lets you rest your head on her thighs as she runs her fingers through your hair

Though if you want to bring her to your chest, she wouldn’t complain

She’ll always have a big smile on her face as she nuzzles your skin

Her favourite position is having you rest your head on her chest

She loves playing with your hair and comforting you, so that’s the best position to do so!

Kaito Momota

BIG CUDDLE GUY

He loves the feeling of protecting you, so he’ll curl around you, regardless on how tall you are

Though don’t expect to sleep if it’s not bedtime, he can talk for hours

Though, he would love to have your head on his chest as well while he rubs your back

Even if you fall asleep on him, he wouldn’t even notice and continue talking

But when he does, he makes sure you’re extra comfortable as he presses a kiss to your forehead

Maki Harukawa

Almost never cuddles you, but will when you ask

She prefers to be the big spoon, or having you in her arms, but won’t object if you want to hold her

Kind of stiff and awkward, not really knowing where to put her hands

The more time that goes on, she relaxes a bit more, even starting to get a bit sleepy

She doesn’t have a favourite position, as she’s neutral for all of them

But spooning does get her fairly sleepy and snuggly

Kokichi Oma

Little shit can never sit still enough to actually cuddle

He’s always on the move, so you’d either have to wait until its bedtime, or catch him

Once you do, he’s very squirmy and he loves to nuzzle into your chest

He hates to admit it, but he loves being the little spoon. He feels so small and protected and he adores it

If you have boobs, beware, he’ll be nuzzling them the entire time

But if not, he’ll still be nuzzling them, but not suffocating as much

He falls asleep pretty easily if it’s quiet (he’s never quiet) and actually calms down

Before he’s up again and playfully wrestling you

Himiko Yumeno

As soon as you wrap your arms around her, she’s out like a light

She can never stay awake long enough to actually cuddle you, so you’d probably have to snuggle her

But the rare moments she is, she loves laying on top of you, using your chest as her pillow

Says something about recharging her mana, but she’s just sleepy and she loves you

You wouldn’t have to worry about waking her up if you move, she’s a heavy sleeper

Tenko Chabashira

PROTECTIVE.

She will absolutely be your big spoon, or having you rest on her chest

She would be kind of stiff, but she’s mostly on alert in case someone decided to jump the both of you

You’d have to reassure her that you’ll both be fine and to relax

She’s still on alert, but she would relax against you as she compliments you

She loves running her hands on your back, almost like a massage

If someone even decided to sneak up on the both of you, she’ll kick their ass

Rantaro Amami

He adores cuddles

His love language is touch, so cuddles are pretty often with you

He prefers being the big spoon, or having his arm wrapped around you, but won’t protest if you want to change it up a bit

He loves running his hands up and down your sides, his mind taking note on all of your soft curves

He gets pretty sleepy, so you’d probably be trapped while he naps

But never fear! He’ll stay up to talk about your day, or his adventures!

Cuddle time is his absolute favourite time

Korekiyo Shinguji

He takes cuddle time pretty seriously

It’s the one time of day when he’s able to look over at how beautiful your body is

Nothing sexual, just to see how gorgeous you actually are

He prefers to have his arm wrapped around you, but he also likes to have you rest on his chest as well

He’s a pretty tall guy, so his long limbs will tangle with yours throughout the night

He doesn’t fall asleep easily, so he would talk about history, or about traditions he learned more about that day

Angie Yonaga

Very snuggly! Though its hard to get her away from her worship to cuddle

But once she’s in bed with you, her face will be snuggled into your chest with her arms around your waist

She doesn’t get sleepy easily, so she would have a nice chat, even dropping the conversation on Atua and just asking how your day was

She gets pretty calm and cuddling allows her to empty her head

Sometimes she’ll even meditate while snuggling, which she’s pretty good at

But after awhile, she’ll get pretty antsy and will leave to do something else (with you in her hand of course!)

Kiibo

Not very comfortable, but he tries!

The best would probably be cuddling on the couch with his head in your lap

Though, all that metal is sort of heavy

He feels sort of sad since he can’t cuddle your properly

But never fear!! You two can hold hands!

It makes him feel a lot better, especially when you’re laying together and your fingers are laced with his

Sometimes the two of you can get in a comfortable enough position to actually cuddle, which would be your head on his arm

Kirumi Tojo

Sort of dislikes cuddling, but not because she hates touching, she just hates the feeling of not being productive

So the best time to cuddle would be when she’s ready for bed!

She would love any position, so she had no preferences

If you want her to lay on your chest, she will

If you want to lay on hers, got it! She’ll be running her fingers through your hair

You’d have to stop her from giving you a proper massage though, in which she’ll actually have to relax

She definitely deserves a break

Gonta Gokuhara

Absolute SOFTIE

He’s so gentle and caring with you, making sure you’re absolutely comfortable

Big spoon all the way, but wouldn’t mind being the little spoon (big little spoon?)

He would love to have you lay on top of him, in which he’ll wrap his arms around your waist and press small kisses to your cheeks

Kind of afraid that he might hurt you (he never ever does) so he’ll be sort of hesitant

But when you reassure him that you’ll be okay, he’ll have that big cute smile on his face as he peppers your face in smooches

Ryoma Hoshi

He never complains if you want to cuddle

Sort of embarrassed that he’s the little spoon

But he loves it a bunch

He adores feeling your body pressed up against his as your arms wrap around his waist

Sometimes he’ll rest his head on your chest, nuzzling slightly as he slowly falls asleep

Comfort this boy, he’s so tired

Tsumugi Shirogane

This tall woman can CUDDLE

She loves cuddling! Sometimes she’ll pull you into her lap and wrap her arms around you to snuggle

She’s so soft and gentle with you, almost like you’re made of glass

She prefers big spoon, but would love if she was little spoon as well!

Loves to talk about anime and manga, even if you’re about to sleep

Sometimes she won’t talk for awhile, but she’s just off in her own head

Miu Iruma

Lord.

Pray she doesn’t suffocate you in her titties

A little awkward to cuddle, as it’s usually a sign of...more

But when you just want to cuddle, she won’t complain

She’ll go on about her inventions, what she wants to do, what happened that day, who pissed her off, etc

She loves being little spoon, on hand on her waist and another one on her boob

She falls asleep pretty fast, and she moves around a lot.

Solid x Reader Barely Bothered 2

 contains limey content

Word Count: 1940

-

I made it downstairs to the front door of the base as I saw the captain standing there. Captain Nozel started at me with a blank face of confusion, seeing that I was the only one here when it’s supposed to be me and Solid.

“Hello, captain Nozel.” I gave him a small wave with my normal emotionless face, pretending like I didn’t just knock his little brother out moments ago by sucking the oxygen out of his lungs.

“Good morning, Y/N. Where’s Solid?”

Oh shit. I didn’t think he would ask me that and I don't have a lie to tell him… fuck.

“I don’t know… but when I saw him in front of my door, he did look a bit malnourished… he then passed out and I kissed him to see if he would wake up but he didn’t so Nebra is probably taking care of him…” I lied with the same expression on my face, hoping that my captain wouldn’t think of anything suspicious from me.

“Oh… malnourished? I wouldn’t say malnourished… he ate like seven lamb chops last night.” My captain casually said.

Seven lamb chops… for one meal… chile… these royals are something else. That isn’t my business but I hope he isn’t planning to eat me tonight. I will be empty. But it’s not like I’ll let him touch me anyway.

“Oh… well maybe he had food poisoning…” I said aloud, pretending to think.

“That may be it. I believe you on Solid passing out so I’ll let you go on this mission yourself. I think that you are strong enough to go by yourself.” He continued.

Wow… he believed me? But what if he goes check?

“Thank you, captain.” I bowed at him.

“No need to thank me. You worked hard. Besides that, your mission isn’t really that much, all you need to do is kill a giant serpent before midnight in the town of Hel.” He finished before flying away.

Oh really? Cool.

I made a transportation spell using my earth magic then started to migrate to Hel, the town that wasn’t far from the royal capital. I think that this mission should be quite easy to do. Killing a giant serpent shouldn’t take long nor should be much to think about.

Timeskip!

I just finished killing the giant serpent that the captain told me about. It didn’t take long nor did it take me to use that much mana. All I did was use an earth spell of mine and then it got cut in half and the purple blood started oozing out of it. Poor serpent.

It was time for me to go back when I suddenly felt sleepy. I was confused about why I felt so sleepy all of a sudden when I’m not anemic nor do I have any other sickness.

Why do I feel so sleepy? Was it Solid when I made out with him? No… I didn’t taste any type of poison, I only tasted fresh mint. Or was it an odorless poison only used when transmitted from mouth to mouth?

So many questions are running through my head right now I don’t even know what’s going on. I might just find a tree to fall as sleep at so I can lay my head there; that might be a very stupid and idiotic plan of me but my alerts on are on high senses even when I’m unconscious so I knows going on. 

I moved my slugging body towards a large tree and sat down beside. I felt my eyes give into my craving for sleep and drifted off.

I just hope that no one tries to take advantage of my sleeping state or there will be another death caused by me.

All of a sudden, I heard footsteps approaching, I don’t know who it was but I hoped that they were just passing by and not wondering what a woman was doing sleeping in the forest.

“So you think you pull such an act on me and act like nothing happened? Oh, Y/N... you’ll be in for such a big treat tonight.”

Timeskip!

As I am still in my sleep, the feeling of the tree behind my back is no longer there, instead there is a more of a comfortable and fluffy comfort feeling supporting my back. At this, I carefully open my eyes to a room that I am not familiar with at all.

I looked around to see decorated green walls and paintings. I know for a fact that this is not my room, someone must’ve taken me when I was asleep.

Did I get kidnapped? No… this must be the room of a noble or royal- wait… No… don’t tell me… FUCk!

“Good evening, Y/N.” I heard a familiar sadistic voice from beside me. When I turned around, I saw the familiar figure of Solid sitting down on his sofa, giving me that same sadistic smile.

“So I’m guessing that it was you who brought me here while I was asleep?” I asked him with a dead look in my face.

“Correct.” The blue-eyed boy simply replied, still giving me that same smile.

I let out a huge sigh, wondering how my life has gotten so difficult since I’ve joined the squad even though the only problem was Solid himself. He has just made me so annoyed and uncomfortable for God knows how long. If I really think about it, Solid is probably the only one in my existence of living who has broken me out of my emotionless self in a bad way.

I looked down to see that the only thing that has changed from my appearance was that my Silver Eagles robe was gone, everything else was the same. I was a bit surprised by this because I would’ve expected him to strip me completely, knowing how thirsty this boy is for me.

“Why’d you only take off my robe? What were you trying to do?” I questioned Solid. Instead of an answer, the silver-haired royal lets out a chuckle instead.

“I was trying to make you comfortable while you were sleeping, so I was going to change you into one of my shirts but, if I did that, I would’ve completely forced myself on you and that wouldn’t have been good for you nor me so I only took off your robe.”

Well thank goodness I woke up in time. It would’ve been an ugly sight seeing him on top of me, doing whatever he pleases.

“Damn… you really are a sucker when it comes to me, huh?” I let out a groan, not giving him any eye contact right now because of a blush which was plastered across my face because of how embarrassed I was. I don’t know why I was embarrassed because that comment is really fucking perverted. But, should I even be surprised?

“Ha! You are very correct…” I heard Solid laugh, making me look at him. “I am a horrible sucker for you but, can you blame me? You are probably the hottest woman I’ve ever seen, you have the perfect body and the perfect personality. Anyone with common sense would fall for someone like you…” He continued his statement. My face started sweating and began to become more red. I swear, this sadistic bastard will be the end of my emotionless phase.

“I get it… is that what you want from me?” I wondered aloud looking at him with dead eyes this time, seeing if he would get what I’m saying.

“”That?” What do you mean by “that”?” Solid gave me a weird look as he walked over to the bed.

“You know… sex…” I said.

Solid lets out another chuckle but this time it sounded like it had more sadistic and evil intent in it.

“I don’t just want to use your body as my pleasure tool… I want you.” Was all Solid said before climbing on top of me and connecting his lips to mine, automatically using his tongue against my lips, foring my mouth to open.

“Wha-” I was quickly interrupted by our lips fully connecting by the pressure of him pushing himself on me. I felt Solid harshly grab my right leg and put it around his lower back all the while he was still making out with me. His tongue was completely dominating my mouth and lips as I sat there, underneath him, taking advantage of my confused state.

“Come on…” I heard him groan against our lips. “Kiss me back with that same energy you had earlier… take my breath away once more. Make me want to crave you...”

Well, his wish is my command. I will gladly do so.

I used most of my strength to flip our positions so that I was on top of him. I had a full look of Solid’s flushed face, the sound of his pants, and the small sadistic smile on his face. I could tell that this was going to be a long night for the both of us and at this point, I don’t even mind. I have now changed my opinion on this sadistic royal who had broken my emotionless personality; I find his love for me quite creepy but at the same time, I find it very adorable of how much he is a sucker for me. Maybe if I give him a chance I can find a soft spot in his heart.

A small smile finally plastered across my face at Solid’s facial expression. Mindlessly, I snaked my left hand down towards his stomach before it reached his crotch, I felt his phallus touch the tips of my fingers as it twitched.

“I will gladly take your breath away, Solid Silva.” 

… 

“Wow…” I heard Solid pant as he flopped his body onto mine. “You were incredible…I’m guessing this isn’t your first time?” I heard Solid ask me as he pulled the covers over our bodies.

“No… It’s not.” I breathed out my last few pants before sighing. 

“Damn it… I was hoping to be your first…” I heard Solid groan aloud, playing with a few strands of my hair.

“Yeah…about that... my ex-boyfriend was a loser so I broke up with him not so long ago. He didn’t phase me or break my emotionless personality at all so I ended our relationship. And he wasn’t even that good in bed.” I replied, looking up at the ceiling, ignoring Solid’s weight on mine.

“Oh… Was I good?” Solid asked me with an innocent smile on his face.

“I guess. I don’t really experience sexual attraction anyways. It’s not that big of a deal but if you want an answer then I would say that you aren’t bad at all.” I answered him, now looking out the window.

“Heh. That makes me happy.” I heard him chuckle as I just gave him a small smirk in return before focusing my attention on the evening sky which was on top of the Royal Capital.

“Y/N?” 

“Hmm?” 

“Are you mad at me? I finished inside you…” I heard Solid mutter before turning his head the other way. I felt my heart drop to my stomach before realizing something.

“It’s okay. Like I said, I had recently broken up with my boyfriend and I’m on birth control. The effect is still working.” I answered him, yawning out of relief. I felt Solid move over to me, I felt his arms embrace me tightly, I gave in and hugged him back.

“I love you so much. Will you be my girlfriend?”

“Sure. Whatever.”

[asknarashikari]

Minific of a typical morning for the Bookstore Ot4 (i need domestic fluff to balance out my stress levels for this show)

We’re gearing up for the finale Mana of course the stress levels are gonna be at an all time high

Also the OT4 shipper in me was supremely delighted by the latest episode when Touma, Rintaro and Mei were all “Kento dying? Not on my watch bitch”

The sun had just started to peek through the curtains when the quiet of the morning was broken by the high-pitched wailing of an alarm clock, signalling the start of the day for the Kamiyama household.

Rintaro, ever the early bird, sat up almost immediately and reached over to shut the blaring sound off. He stretched out leisurely, before turning to wake up his lovers. “It’s time to wake up,” he said, gently shaking their shoulders and kissing their foreheads. It took a bit of maneuvering to reach each of them, as he was at the outside edge of the bed.

Kento, also an early riser due to his training in the Swords of Logos, stirred at Rintaro’s touch, and he smiled blearily at him. “Mornin’,” he greeted, his voice still gruff from sleep. “Oi, Touma, time to get up,” he said, nudging the author who took the spot by the wall that night.

“Alright, alright, I’m up,” Touma groaned, pulling himself up to a sitting position, which left just Mei as the only one still sleeping. 

One by one, the boys made their way to the bathroom to take care of their business, wash their face and brush their teeth before returning to the room. Amazingly, the woman slept like the dead, not having awoken even when the other three left her alone in bed.

“Mei, time to get up, or you’ll end up late for work again.” Touma chided as he yawned, shaking her shoulder a bit harder.

Mei seemed to hear the threat even in her dreams, because her eyes snapped open and she sat straight up in bed, looking wildly around her. She pouted at the other three who started to chuckle at her reaction. “Haha, very funny,” she said sarcastically as she got out of bed.

The quartet started going through their usual morning routine. Mei went to the bathroom to get cleaned up. After the boys dressed up, Rintaro went to wake their son up in his room, Touma went to the kitchen to get breakfast started, and Kento made the bed before he joined Touma in the kitchen.

The childhood friends worked together to make a simple meal for all of them: toast, rolled omelettes and bacon for the four of them, and some raw fish and rice with a little soy sauce for Ise. By the time they finished cooking, Mei was dressed and made up for work and was heating the water up for Touma’s tea, and Rintaro was placing a sleepy Ise into his baby seat and putting his bib around his neck. 

Kento and Touma served up breakfast, Mei gave Touma his tea, and Rintaro got Ise’s bowl of food to start feeding him. The quartet usually ate breakfast together in companionable silence, since they were all usually too groggy to talk much anyway, with the exception of Rintaro baby-talking to Ise to convince him to eat.

After breakfast, the dishes were washed and put away, the foursome, with their baby dragon in tow, locked up the apartment and headed downstairs into the bookstore. Mei retrieved her belongings where she left them on Touma’s desk.

“I’ll see you guys later at the Northern Base,” she told them with a smile, then ruffled Ise’s hair. “Stay good for your daddies, okay?” Ise chirruped at her and Mei pressed a long kiss into her son’s hair. 

“Stay safe, dear,” Rintaro told her, as each of the boys took their turn giving her chaste kisses. “We love you.”

“I know. You guys stay safe out there too.” She said, reaching for the door. “Ittekimasu!”

“Itterrashai!” the boys called after her as she left. 

“Alright, so what’s the plan for today, Touma?” Kento asked. “We heading to the Northern Base now?”

Touma sighed. “Yeah... I have a training session with Daishinji-san.” The two swordsmen winced in sympathy. “Might as well show up early, maybe he’ll take it easy on me today...”

“Alright, let’s head out then.”

A cupcake with a candle stuck on it and a small wrapped gift were placed by Rin’s morning breakfast. ❝ Good morning, Rin. I see that mornings are still your natural enemy.❞ the Servant poked fun at her, a little of misdirection of his part; unless the boy has something on his sleeve, the girl is coming home to a feast to celebrate her special day. The gift? It is merely a delicate pendant that he forged, a small token of his appreciation.

─「凛」─  the SUNLIGHT streaming from the gap of the curtain caused the magus to stir, if the presence of a certain someone didn’t do that already. having stayed up late trying to finish the thick TOME, finalizing the spells she was working on last night, the tohsaka heir wasn’t so keen on starting the morning so early, but the RED ARCHER had something else planned for her.

               “ you know that, but you’re always waking me up so early. ” she groaned, but internally she was grateful that he always took care of BREAKFAST at least. while she wasn’t fond of morning in and out of itself, she still didn’t want to waste too many hours in bed when it could be used on a more productive side of things. a sigh escaped her lips, hand running through her locks before AZURE orbs then widened at the adorable cupcake accompanying the small wrapped box next to her usual breakfast tray.

               “ hnn ? this is ... ? ” her foggy, sleepy mind cleared only a little, line of vision turning to the archer as though asking for explanation, and he threw her a look as though it was obvious without any verbal confirmation. it took her more than a few seconds to actually REALIZE what was the occasion. ( the candle was a giveaway, at least. )

               “ ah. ” that was when the realization hit her, a sense of warmth spread through her form. fingertips caressing the wrapped box and eyes looking at the small cupcake with colorful candle stuck on there. a light chuckle escaped her lips before they tugged up in a faint smile.

               “ you remember, huh ... ” even when she forgot her own BIRTHDAY, he took it upon himself to remember it for her. the MAGUS had never been fond of her own birthday, and often simply just made it a point to not remember it. spending the day alone made it more lonely than anything, so why would she even bothered to remember that ? despite so, the heiress unwrapped the box to reveal a delicate pendant, as though a RETURN to her red pendant which tied them together from the start. soft digits caressed over the forged accessory, feeling HIS MANA infused within.

               “ really ... why do you bother remember these things ... you idiot ... ” despite her WORDS, the look upon her expression and the tender tone she carried spoke otherwise about how she felt about this gift. she had never been good at being on the receiving end of things, and she didn’t want to CRY in front of him either, but damn ... her eyes were burning a little here. how embarrassing.

              holding the PENDANT close to her chest, she then lifted her head to flash him a genuine smile, one that spoke of how grateful she was of his thoughts, his gift --- and his presence to spend this day with her. to her --- that was the greatest gift of all.

              that she didn’t have to be alone on her own birthday.

              “ i love it ... thank you, archer. ”

The heater have been turned on as he prepared breakfast, so the house would be in a far more agreeable temperature when the girl woke up and the scent of the morning meal permeated the air. During the war, the Servant had avoided any behavior that could hint at his identity – careful motions, almost to the point of restraint. There was no need for subterfuge now and he could allow himself to do certain small gestures that he wouldn’t otherwise. Even if his memory is faulty, it certainly felt nostalgic to an extent.

❝ You can be awfully slow during the morning, Rin. But I suppose I should give you some credit: I expected you to take slightly longer.❞ the sardonic commentary was followed by a wry smirk. He couldn’t help it, the man was more than slightly bent – he was twisted through and through. It gave him a small degree of satisfaction to tease her, and it still served an ulterior motive: to get her psyched, to wake her up. The tall man shrugged at her remark – he forgot many things but somehow recalled her birthday and thought it would be just proper to do something simple. There was also a little of a selfish reason for him to do so: he always thought of birthdays as a blessing for being born, an expression of gratitude an celebrating that you are able to survive until now. To have delicious goodies, making a proper fuss and enjoying your time with people you care about. Of course he wouldn’t tell Rin, that would be terribly sappy and out of character for him – he’d be content in keeping teasing her and keeping her company. ❝ I must admit I forgot it the first time around, I’m glad I got it right now.❞ she had summoned him a few days before her birthday and they would be hard pressed to have any time to celebrate. It was a mere coincidence that Rin had that date with Shirou and Saber on Valentine’s – however, his relationship with her was strained at that point as it reached a point in which she had to use a Command Spell for him to don’t attack her ally. …How dreadful: she felt that it would be necessary to use two Command Spell to compel obedience. Sadly, Archer had to admit she was correct in her assessment of the situation.

He moved closer, pouring the tea on the cup and placing on the table in front of her. ❝ Don’t mention it, I’m glad it is of your liking. ❞ the gift wasn’t purely Projection magecraft, he went around and got enough money to get the materials and infused them with mana, shaping it. Because of that, it took a little longer – and seeing how much she enjoyed it made all worthwhile, causing a discreet smile to bloom.

❝ So, what are your plans for today?❞

Prompt list eh? 👀 👀👀How bout some Thalyssra/Sylv with either the "I love you, but stop talking" or the marshmallow one above it

I HOPE YOU ARE PREPARED COS THIS FOOL DID BOTH

Here, have some Thalvanas, and thank you so much for your prompt @addicted-to-procrastination !! <3

   Thalyssra clatters through the door, dumps her keys in the bowl, throws her bag on the counter as usual and narrowly misses a neatly-iced cake.

 “I love you, but stop talking.”

[EDIT: taken references to police out of the fic. Author does not and will never support police brutality, especially racially motivated, in any of its forms. We're here for soft happy lesbians and that's it thank you.]

   “Fuck!” Rushing to steady it on its plastic stand, Thalyssra peers down at the delicate piping on the top. “I’m sorry? Sylvanas! Why is there an apology cake on the counter? I told you I didn’t care about the Thalassian soup incident, it was a terrible hob anyway and the dry cleaners did a great job on my… Sylv? Where are you?”

   No answer.

   “SYLVANAS WINDRUNNER! I’m being very serious now!”

   Her only answer is the gentle ticking of her grandmother’s leyline clock in the hallway.

   Sylvanas’s Doc Martens are still on the shoe rack. A sleepy bark betrays Dori as dozing in his favourite sunny spot in the living room. An elderly, tatty Eastern Kingdoms PI lanyard is dumped beside the blazer Thalyssra draped over her fiancée’s shoulders this morning.

  Why would she leave when everything is going so well-

   Why would she leave her beloved dog, why would she leave a cake of all things and not a note, Sylvanas loves being passive-aggressive with notes, come on Thalyssra get a grip-

   Is it because we argued about the wedding? About how long into the evening she works? Is she embarrassed that I earn more than her, has she- has she found someone else to go hunting in Eversong with and drink those hideous Thalassian herb cocktails with? Is it Jaina? Someone else as smart and determined as Sylvanas, someone else who talks about everything and nothing with her, like I do, until she’s four glasses of mana-wine down and she’s too tipsy to do anything other than fall on top of them and snuggle into them like she snuggles into me-

   “Thal?”

   Thalyssra looks up to a smirking Sylvanas, hair in disarray, teeth glinting in the evening sun.

   Slumps in relief until Sylvanas steps closer, and those sunbeams catch on the right eye ringed with bruising and the neatly-stitched laceration running through her lower lash line-

   “We got him. We got Menethil, Thalyssra, Lor’themar found his hard drive and a couple of phones dumped in the fireplace but the idiot forgot he’d got it backed up to his cloud and you know how smart Jaina is, she had his login details within seconds, Belore I nearly kissed her when she showed us all the files she’d found and we got him!” Thalyssra’s tugged forwards and into a frantic kiss but Sylvanas has dodged away before she can deepen it, grabbing a bulging folder off the dining table and holding it aloft like a trophy. “There’s proof of his links to Kel’thuzad, and Garrosh Hellscream, and it’s not just drugs he’s been distributing- though we found enough evidence afterwards up in his attic, Belore the smell alone, I might be a bit high- but Jaina found evidence that he’d been involved in trafficking people into Gilneas and now I have to talk to fucking Greymane of all the private investigators, and of course Daddy Menethil has been supplying him with phony bank accounts and funnelling his cut back through the Bank of Lordaeron and with him implicated too, we could be even closer to tracking Kel’thuzad’s movements through the Eastern Kingd-”

   She’s cut off by Thalyssra’s lips on hers.

   Sylvanas tastes sweet, like Thalassian tea, and Thalyssra wraps her arms around her and deepens the kiss. Hears a little murmur of appreciation as she presses in with her tongue. She smells of tulip perfume, and antiseptic, and the soft earthy warmth that has Thalyssra stealing her pillow on mornings when Sylvanas has to be in early, just for a few more breaths of her.

   She breaks the kiss to press their foreheads together, her one hand stroking down the nape of Sylvanas’s neck. Her heart is still pounding in her throat. “What is the cake for?” she murmurs.

   “The- Lor’themar said to get one. Thought that by the time I told you I ran after Menethil with no backup, you’d be too full of sugar to tear into me for it-”

   “You did what?”

   There’s a pause.

   “Shit,” Sylvanas mumbles. “I’m definitely a bit high.”

   Pushing her back, Thalyssra glares down at her. “Why would you do something so fucking stupid? And this is the result, no doubt.” She reaches up to caress Sylvanas’s bruised cheekbone with the pad of her thumb; Sylvanas flinches, unable to meet Thalyssra’s eyes. “Sylv, you’re smarter than that. You knew he was violent.”

   “Yes.” Finally, those hard eyes meet hers. “And the last time we went after him, he hurt Jaina. Nobody hurts my friend and walks away, Thalyssra. Nobody. I care nothing of how rich or entitled he is. Besides.” She bares her fangs in a smug grin, and lifts her bruised knuckles up. “I can be violent too.”

   “I know.” Thalyssra bends closer, stroking Sylvanas’s hair back to press a feather-light kiss to her eyebrow. Can’t help closing her eyes to breathe in that familiar scent. I thought I’d really lost you. “But I know you’re reckless when you’re angry. And from the looks of it… he knew that, too.”

   Sylvanas opens her mouth. Closes it. Looks away.

   Squeezing her arm, Thalyssra lets her go and walks round into the kitchen. “Go and sit on the sofa. I’ll bring you some ice for your eye. Put one of your awful Thalassian comedies on the TV and stay.”

   With me, forever and ever, she wants to say and doesn’t.

   But when she turns back round from the medical cabinet, Sylvanas is only a few steps behind her, now flanked by a lynx-hound intent on bathing her hands in kisses. “It was my hunch,” she announces, bending to scritch Dori behind the ears as he groans in delight. “I told Lor’themar he’d go to ground, and we knew that the property was a holiday home of sorts but it was me who connected it to Hellscream and do you know how I did that? By putting his friend Nazgrim under surveillance for two weeks and having Anya report directly to me every-”

   Thalyssra places a finger over that soft, full mouth. “I love you,” she murmurs against the shell of Sylvanas’s ear, and delights in the shiver that runs up and down her body. “But stop talking.” Hears Sylvanas draw in a sharp breath only for Thalyssra to swoop in and steal it with another kiss. “You don’t need to prove to me how clever you are. I’m not your minn’da. To the sofa with you.” And she gently takes hold of Sylvanas’s shoulders and guides her towards the sofa.

   “Fine,” Sylvanas mutters, and flops inelegantly onto the heaped cushions. “But I hope back to back episodes of Sunsail and Sex aren’t too mind-numbing for- ooftBelorehoundyouareheavy!”

   “Good boy, Dori!” Thalyssra sniggers as a pillow bounces off her side. “Bad girl, Sylvanas. Naughty. Naughty girl.”

   “Keep talking to me like that and I might find I’m no longer in the mood to show you just how naughty I can be.”

   “Nightwell save us from such a fate, Sylvanas.”

   The TV flashes into life, and Sylvanas laughs at Dori’s playful attempts to steal the remote control from her fingers. “Thal?”

   “Yes, dalah?”

   “Can you bring the cookies with you? I’ve got the munchies.”

 -0-0-

 Extra prompt:

 “You’re basically a marshmallow. Perfect for cuddling.”

   They lead the first dance.

   Thalyssra walks with her new wife to the dance floor and pulls her into her arms as the first few notes play. Sylvanas’s silken curls brush the back of her palm, in time with the rhythm they catch and start to sway to; her dress- Thalassian red, in spite of Lireesa’s protests- rustles like blades of grass against her legs. Her intricately embroidered sleeves prickle Thalyssra’s own unadorned arms.

   Thalyssra revels in the sight of her, so majestic and beautiful, and delights in the splay of her fingers against the warm, soft skin of Sylvanas’s exposed back.

   It is a simple Thalassian waltz. Lirath, perched on the stage beside the microphone, plays with tears in his eyes.

   “Was it what you thought it would be?” Sylvanas murmurs. Her voice is low. Her eyes never leave Thalyssra’s. “The ceremony.”

   “More or less, though you were far more gorgeous than I dared hope.” But the smile she was hoping for doesn’t come. “Was it what you thought?”

   Sylvanas does look away then. Her fingers toy with the zip of Thalyssra’s gown.

   “Later, you impatient wretch. Come on. Out with it.” Thalyssra reaches up to tickle her fingertips along that strong jawline. “Was it my gown? I know you’re none too fond of dusk purple. Or did one of my cousins make some stupid comment-”

   “I thought I was supposed to feel some rush of emotion,” Sylvanas blurts out. Her muscles stiffen beneath Thalyssra’s hands. “Some overwhelming- love, or possessiveness, or pride, or- and instead I felt… relieved. That it would soon be over, and we could slip out of the spotlight. That I could just have you to myself.”

   “You weren’t supposed to feel anything.” Thalyssra bends to press a kiss to her forehead. There are other couples venturing onto the floor now, Alleria with her girlfriend Alexstrasza, Ly’leth and Margaux swaying off-beat with their gazes fixed on one another. “There is no one way to marry me. As for some great flurry of emotion- I need no fancy declaration to know you love me.”

   “Do you not?”

   Thalyssra turns them, to shield Sylvanas’s face from the crowd. She won’t let them see her vulnerable. No-one but Thalyssra may see Sylvanas doubting herself. “You tell me you love me when you bring me coffee in the morning before you go to work. When you come racing home through the rush hour traffic because you promised to make dinner tonight. When you hide tickets to Suramar theatre plays in my nightstand and when you worship my every inch in bed. I don’t need you to break down and profess your undying devotion, you know.” She strokes her fingers down Sylvanas’s collarbone and presses them to the crimson fabric over her heart. “I know it’s there. And here.”

   And she reaches down to squeeze Sylvanas’s butt.

   “Stop molesting my poor innocent sister!” Alleria yells from within Alexstrasza’s arms. Sylvanas snorts with laughter, arching an elegant brow. “She’s so sweet and pure!”

   Lirath cackles into his pipes. “Is she Helheim!” he calls down. “About as innocent as you are!”

   Laughter rings out across the room, but it’s Sylvanas’s little chuckle that sounds the sweetest in Thalyssra’s ears, as her new wife rests her head on Thalyssra’s shoulder and closes her eyes.

   The last notes of the waltz fade away. Lirath bows quickly, blowing Rommath a kiss from across the room as he hops down amidst the scattered applause and scoots off towards the buffet.

   “You know, I didn’t feel that rush either, as we stood at the altar,” Thalyssra murmurs as Lirath’s album starts to play over the speakers. “That rush you speak of. But you know when I did? I felt it two days ago, when I cut myself on the vegetable peeler and you had a band-aid on it before I had even finished whinging.” She reaches up to stroke Sylvanas’s cheekbone with the still-tender tip of her index finger. “I looked at you, bent over my hand with your whole face scrunched up in concentration, dabbing that antiseptic as though it were a matter of life and death. And I thought, by the Nightwell, I’m marrying this woman.”

   Sylvanas doesn’t move, but Thalyssra can feel her lips curl into a smile against the tender skin of her neck.

   They stay there, arms round one another, watching in silence as Belore creeps below the horizon and bathes the sky in swathes of pink and red.

   “I would go and get some food from the buffet,” Thalyssra mumbles into Sylvanas’s hair, absent-mindedly fiddling with the hook fastening at the nape of her new wife’s neck. Her new wife. “But I can’t seem to entertain the thought of letting go of you.”

   “Mmn, so don’t.” Sylvanas’s eyes catch the red of the sunset when they open and look up into hers. “There will be food in Eversong.”

   “You’d better not go feral hunter on me. Not out of the bedroom, anyway.”

   “It’s a tent. There is only bedroom.”

   “My point still stands. Come now, my marshmallow. You haven’t eaten eith-”

   “What,” Sylvanas growls, shoving half-heartedly at Thalyssra’s chest, “did you just call me?”

   “I worry you might grow tired of cherry pie. And you are basically a marshmallow.” Thalyssra meets Sylvanas’s mock outrage with a soft, indulgent smile. “Perfect for cuddling.” And she kisses the faux scowl off her new wife’s mouth.

   My new wife.

   “We’re not cuddling,” Sylvanas mutters against her mouth the moment they break the kiss. “This is an embrace. It is not a cuddle.”

   “Whatever you say. My marshmallow.”

   “O Belore.” Sylvanas sighs, long and melodramatic, and Thalyssra swallows back the laughter building in her chest. “Would that I had brought the divorce papers with me today.”

   Chuckling, Thalyssra tips Sylvanas’s head up, and kisses her again.

Rush

I’ve been so busy writing for the future and Mafia AU that I haven’t really written anything for the current time period

So, here is an attempt at some fluff

@grotesquegabby Since little Ama(and Billy) is in this uwu

Billy found it rather difficult to really do anything at any time of the day, his sister-in-law had learned this through Maggie who sometimes paid her and Lennie a visit to check up on him.

“Princess, daddy has to go to-” Billy stopped talking as he looked down at his legs, Amaranthus shaking her head while hugging him tightly. “Ama-”

“No!” she exclaimed, burying her face in his legs as they heard the doorbell ring through the large home.

“Ama-”

“No!”

“Ama...” Billy whispered, stroking her hair, finally making her let go of him so that he could crouch down closer towards. “Princess, you don’t have to worry one bit. You won’t be alone.”

“But, but! I want to be with you!”

Once again, the doorbell rang which made Billy give a bit of a frown since nobody had bothered to answer it yet. As he stoked Ama’s hair again, he looked to where the front doors were, seeing as somebody finally opened it.

“Ama.”

“No!”

“Ama, please turn around.” Billy whispered to her and she shook her head again. “You won’t regret it.”

“Ama!” somebody gasped out, surprisingly prompting Ama to turn around before her teary eyes widened. “Ama!”

“Ula!” Ama gasped before the sound of little feet running was heard, right before Ama was tackled down to the ground. On top of her was her best friend Ula, hugging her tightly as Ama returned the embrace with the same strength. They stayed like that for a pretty long while until eventually pulling themselves away as they sat on the ground, holding hands.

“I’m so happy to see you!”

“Me too!”

Once again, the girls tightly hugged each other while Billy approached them. Soon enough, another gasp was heard which made the girls turn around, spotting the final friend to their trio. 

“Ula! Ama!”

“Atlas!” the girl exclaimed in unison before the boy ran over to them, hugging Ama as Ula wrapped her arms around both. 

“I’m so glad you kids are all finally together.” Billy smiled down at them as he pet Ama’s head, and she looked up at him through her friends’ embraces. “Ula, Atlas, where are your belongings?”

“Belongings?” Ama whispered, somewhat confused.

“Your uncle and Vespers suggested that you have a sleepover with your friends, and I thought it would be best.”

Ama’s confused expression then turned into one of delight before she buried her face back wherever she could with her friend.

_____________

“I still don’t get why he would turn back into a human.”

“Yeah. He looked better as a beast.”

The kids all sat together, snuggled up with each other while in their pajamas after having changed right after being let go. Ama sat, or more like lay against a mountain of pillows while Ula cuddled right next to her, still holding her hand in a protective and affectionate manner. Atlas cuddled right next to Ula while also hugging a pillow.

“Her dress was really pretty though.”Ama commented as Ula nodded along, both obviously disappointed with the transformation in the ending.

 Everybody ate from a bowl of popcorn that was also filled with candies, Atlas then stopping to wipe his hands on a nearby napkin. He stood up as the girls continued watching Beauty and the Beast which was just about to end, Atlas looking through the variety of movies available, especially since he and Ula had brought some along each.

“What should we watch next?” he asked, before Ula eventually sat up while now looking away from the screen and at Atlas.

“Obviously nothing scary.”

“Or, or no bugs.” Ama added on as she immediately sat up, somewhat panicked before Atlas picked up a movie.

“Um...more Disney?” Atlas suggested. 

“How about Lilo and Stitch?” Ula looked over at Mana who too had come along to the sleepover, though he was resting after running and jumping around due having chowed down on so many melons. He however decided to remain very much close to the children, clearly worried as he hope nothing bad happened to any of the little ones.

“I can’t find that one.”

“Princess and the Frog?”

“Don’t see it.”

“Never ending Story?”

“Which one is that one?” Ama and Atlas asked before Ula stood up, managing to wake up Mana who lifted his head to look up at her before she grabbed her soda bottle.

“It’s the one where they go.” Ula now spoke into the bottle as she sang. “Turn around, look at what you see. In her face, the mirror of your dreeeee-AAAMS.”

Ula sang the last part completely off key which made her friend give loud laughs as Mana now stood up and wagged his tail.

“Make believe I’m everywhere, given in the light.”Ula ‘passionately’ sang as Mana pranced over to her, barking along to her as she sang off key once again and danced around with him. “Written on the pages is the answer to a never ending sto...RYYYYYYY.”

Ula soon vocalized, initially starting great until she went off key again, making Ama fall backwards onto the pillows as she and Atlas burst with laughter.

“I sing so well.” Ula giggled as she now sat down again, Mana licking her face before laying his head on her lap. After a while of more laughing, Ama and Atlas wiped their tears away as they settled down.

“What’s that one right there?” Ama pointed to a box that Atlas picked up, his cheeks blushing as he rolled his eyes.

“It’s just...The Princess Bride.”

“The Princess Bride!?” Ula excitedly exclaimed.

“The Princess Bride?” Ama turned to her friends, hoping they would explain as Atlas pretended not to care for it.

“It’s just a movie we shouldn’t-”

“Should totally watch!” Ula clapped her hands before Atlas’ demeanor took a turn.

“Yeah, totally.” he nodded. “We should totally watch it.”

“You’re gonna love it Ama! It’s got a princess, and a pirate, and, and a bad king! And horses! And-” Ula then watched as the screen started, the title being presented which made her snuggle next to Ama.

Since his spot had been taken away by Mana, Atlas gave a tiny sigh before going on Ama’s other side, but it was still nice. Ama really liked this, having her friends at each of her sides, almost like they were protecting her. 

She watched the screen as a boy was in bed, talking to his grandfather...grandfather...grandpa...she hoped he was doing alright.

Ama turned to look at Atlas with an uncertain expression, then doing the same with Ula who noticed this. They stared at each other as Ula gave Ama a smile. Ama in turn held her friends even closer, fearing that...none of this was real...that maybe her uncle was still...and her dad...and-

“Oooh, Ama! Look! This is the sad part that then gets better!” Ula pointed to the screen. “The girl loves this guy so much but he has to leave.”

Ama watched the screen, smiling to herself as she realized that this wasn’t fake and she wasn’t a prisoner anymore. But either way, she made sure to pull her friends ever closer to her if possible.

______________

Ama soon jolted awake, surprised to see herself surrounded by a darkness that wasn’t really a darkness, for there was a light  making it seem like there were stars filling the room she was in.

“Ama?” yawned a voice, making Ama turn and look next to her where Ula now rubbed her eyes. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”Ama whispered, laying back down as Ula yawned yet again.

“Did you have a nightmare?”

“Kinda...” Ama nodded as she turned to Ula, hugging Mune tightly against her chest. Ula then pat Ama’s head while looking at her with drowsy eyes, then hugging her Sam plush before scooting closer towards Ama. Ula gave her a hug, then cuddling with her as Mana also scoot closer towards them.

“I wanna hug...” announced a sleepy voice, obviously belonging to Atlas who also snuggled up, immediately falling asleep soon after as he lightly snored.

“Ama?” Ula whispered.

“Yeah?”

“Have a good night and sweet dreams.”  Ula smiled before placing a little kiss onto Ama’s forehead, making her smile as well before they both eventually fell back asleep.

“You too.”

“So don’t worry. I’ll be here to protect you.”

When The Brat Decides To Sleep With Me (Pt. 1. May be more in the future. Modern AU. May do canon verse sometime.)

(This is all a certain someone’s fault for their ask...which led me to watch the episode....laugh...and become inspired...too inspired to fall asleep lol XD. Sorry for the shortness).

So usually when it’s “What the ever loving fuck o’ clock” in the morning, you’d expect everyone to be sleeping, right? Yeah, that doesn’t happen...a whole lot...in my house...especially when a certain brat is an insomniac. Now, if I had it my way, I would’ve easily knock that kid out with some of my ‘sleepy-time juice’, but apparently that is wrong. Also, I do not have alcohol in my house anymore because a certain brat got into shit...and...well that’s a story for another day (still have my smokes though! So whatever...still miss my wine though).

Junior can sleep at the drop of a hat and stay asleep (we’ve established this already I’m sure, but just in case you are dropping by rather late-). The brat, can’t and these are just some of the weird ass things/questions he asks me as I’m trying to fall asleep. Read under the cut if you dare.

“Do you think crickets have feelings?” came a soft voice from the small bundle of blankets leaning against my back. The brat was sitting up and staring out my bedroom window. The thunderstorm long past. One of my eyelids popped open and I felt annoyance creep up my spine. Take a deep breath Cross, it’s three o’clock in the morning...you have work together...but you must have patience.

“No. Now go to bed,” I growled out before closing my eyes again.

“Do you think werewolves sniff other people’s butts in their human forms?” came another question.

“Werewolves don’t exist. Go to bed brat,” I growled out without opening my eyes this time. I had no idea where the fuck that question came from...unless Junior showed him a werewolf movie earlier. Fuck if I know.

“Are you sure? What if you’re a werewolf?”

I bit back a growl.

“I am positive they do not exist!”

“You didn’t tell me if you were a werewolf or not. That can explain why you’re so hairy and you shed everywhere-”

I snarled and sat up in bed, knocking the little boy over in my annoyance,” Go the fuck to sleep brat! Don’t you know little boys like you are supposed to be asleep at this hour!? Hell, you were supposed to be in bed at 9 o’ clock and now it’s 3!”

“So you are a werewolf! Can you bite me so I can become one to? We don’t have to tell Lavi. He’d be an awful werewolf,” Allen said, turning over to look up at me, innocently blinking as he totally ignored what I said. My eye twitched in irritation. I have no idea how Tiedoll manages this shit. He has four kids...and I’m struggling with two. Although to be fair, the second one isn’t even really mine!

“I’m not a werewolf and I swear to God Allen if you do not shut up and close your eyes, I will suffocate you with a pillow to make it happen,” I spat, hoping the empty threat would get the kid to at least try to sleep. I mean, it wasn’t the kid’s fault that he couldn’t sleep. It must be lonely to be alone with your thoughts while the whole house is sleeping. Still...there is only so much lack of sleep I could take and these scattered thunderstorms all week were not doing me any favors.

Allen’s eyes narrowed up at me before he blurted out,”Bakanda already tried that many times and it didn’t work. You know for someone who works at the police station you do a lot of illegal stuff.”

“Well he probably did it wrong! Also, news flash, everyone knows I do illegal shit Captain Obvious!”

“Mana said you shouldn’t swear in front of children...” Allen deadpanned.

“You shouldn’t even be awake right now!”

Allen, ever the sass master, responded with,” Well, you shouldn’t be awake now either, but you are.”

“Yeah and it’s your fault!” I shot back. I could feel my eyes burn with how tired I was.

“Well maybe you should’ve made sure I was asleep first!”

“I thought you were!”

“Well I wasn’t!”

“That’s pretty obvious to me now! Thanks!” I said sarcastically.

“Well, what are you going to do about this?” Allen asked.

“Me!? What does this have to do with me!? This is your problem!”

“Yeah, but I’m just a kid. You’re the adult in this situation. You could go back to sleep, but I won’t let you until I sleep. That makes it your problem as well,” Allen stated in a matter-of-fact tone while twisting a piece of his hair around a finger.

“Well then, what the fuck do you want!? I’m not a mind reader damn it!”

“Well it should be obvious...”

......

“It really fucking isn’t”

Allen rolled his eyes in annoyance (like you have any fucking right to be annoyed, kid! You weren’t the one woken up!),”Food!”

Oh...oh yeah....yeah I probably should’ve guessed that. Guess I forgot who I was dealing with here...

“You want me to make you food...at three in the fucking morning!?”

“It could’ve been said without the f-bomb but yeah. I request my emotional giant to make me food,” Allen sassed.

“Make it yourself you diva-”

Then, all of a sudden, I had a flashback to three days ago when Allen attempted to make a salad...and nearly burned the house down (Yeah I know. I don’t know why he thought he needed the stove).

“Well if you insist-” Allen sighed as he got up.

“Nope, never mind. I’ll make you something,” I deadpanned as I got up to walk to the kitchen.

“Carry me?”

“No way! A little exercise will do you some good! Maybe it’ll tire you out!”

(Anyways, I’m gonna try to get my own ass to bed. Hope you enjoy this random drabble!)

#dgm #cross marian #allen walker #I wrote a mini story yayyyy

[chrisemrysfics]

Hello~

So I decided to gift little stories to my close friends for Christmas; although the idea came to me a bit too late to have them ready for the actual day. Instead, I looked to know what each of you would like (and one of you is being totally surprised thanks to our common friend ^_~), and said I would have them done in January.

The time has come @ask-cross-marian, this is your gift; a fluffy little story of Crossdad and Allenson~! More precisely, this is the event of Allen eating alcoholic chocolates!

Beware: it is as fluffy as it contains feels!

Enjoy <3

Cross prided himself in many things. Not so much in others, but point was, he prided himself in taking in stride anything. When one dealt with Nea and Mana Campbell, one had seen it all.

He should have known that if anyone would break that carefully constructed certainty, it had to be Allen.

Cross Marian, for the first time in a long, long while, froze dead in his tracks, eyes wide like a deer in headlights, when he entered his room to find the sight that he would not call the cutest thing ever. Not at all. Never.

Fact was: Allen sat on the floor with his back against the bed, having drapped on himself Cross' coat like a blanket, and most of all, sleepy silver eyes gazed at him with confusion with the most adorable little squint-

Allen lifted a hand to rub his eyes and it was not a small dying noise that left Cross. Not at all.

Then, it occurred to Cross that something bothered him. Something out of place.

“Oh for the love of-fuck.”

Cross Marian finally realized that the things that surrounded Allen were the papers of chocolates.

The very much acoholic chocolates Cross had forgotten to hide.

Allen's eyes widened, then his expression crumbled; and Cross inhaled shaprly.

Allen curled into Cross' coat more, figurative ears lowered, the tiniest sniff escaping him.

No, oh god no-

“S-Shishou-?”

Allen's voice wavered and I cannot deal with this-

“Just-Just go back to sleep.”

Allen perked up a bit, stop being adorable what is this magic, and then hesitated, curling on himself more, almost swallowed in the coat.

“I-I tried but-” He pulled up the coat a bit, half burying his face in it. “I kept seeing things and you weren't here but I saw the chocolates-” His shoulders moved up and he fully buried his face guiltily. “I felt better after eating the chocolates but then I was really fuzzy and you hadn't come back yet and I just felt so sleepy but I didn't feel like going back to my room and you left your coat and it worked some but you weren't there still and-”

“Stop.” Cross breathed out, and Allen did, still curled into his coat.

He must have caught something, Cross told himself, feeling so warm. And Allen was, oh god, drunk.

He was not drunk when he sought me out, though.

Cross walked the distance between them, angry and stomach twisting as Allen tensed to stop moving, smoothing it out by the time he bent down and just, grabbed Allen, coat and all, to lift him up into his arms.

Allen squeaked, hands catching himself on Cross' shoulders, and there they were again, wide silver eyes staring up at him in confusion, hesitation, guilt, hope, vulnerability-

“I'm here now, aren't I?” The man said a quiet voice, moving to his bed. “And I say we sleep.”

Allen cuddled closer the smallest bit. “We sleep?”

Cross dropped Allen on the bed, snorting at the little squeak. “We sleep.”

Allen pouted, which Cross did not find adorable, but his eyes brightened when Cross got the covers off, rolled the bundled Allen in them, and then got inside himself. However, when Cross grabbed his coat and pulled them off, Allen made a sound of protest, catching it with a hand.

Cross stared. Allen stared back. Cross sighed, and dropped the coat to cover Allen's body above the covers. Allen smiled and snuggled himself in, pulling the coat to come to his chin, nuzzling.

Cross stared for a second, then laid down fully on his back. Allen's breathing grew peaceful in the next few moments, and Cross moved one arm to rest above Allen's head before he closed his eyes.

Timcanpy sat on the pillow on the other side of Allen, grinning as he continued recording, and grinning more as Cross' arm lowered, slowly curling around Allen as the man's slept, bringing the smaller body closer to his side, when said body started to shiver and to give out the smallest scared whine.

Allen grew peaceful again, pressed to the familiar, comforting warmth of his master, so much better than just his scent.

Cross would wake up later, and pretend he did not spent a few minutes just staying there, watching the sleeping boy.

Allen would wake up later, when Cross was up, with a head that killed him, and a murderous Cross scaring him off anything alcoholic for years.

Never to know that Cross could not deal with how adorable Allen was when he got drunk. Never to know Cross' anger was at all that made Allen have these nightmares, at the promise that made him think of this scared little boy that he would one day have to let go.

Never to know Cross just did not want to Allen to be open and vulnerable unless he truly wished to be.

@celepom gave me an interesting idea to write for the Millennium World part of In Plain Sight.

So here’s some pre-relationship flirting from Atem to a flustered Heba.

--

Heba winced as he rubbed his wrist with the ointment that Mana had given him. He was worried that his days as the court scribe would be over so soon, considering how often the priests spoke, there was so much to write and his poor wrist could only do so much in a day.

He sighed, looking up at the pale moon, knowing that Thoth was rowing it across the sky. “My Thoth, why did you teach us humans to write when our hands and wrists cannot handle it likes yours...?” He whined loudly and flopped back on the cold, stone floor.

He was alone, in the hall that led to the document room. He had finished putting away his writings when he decided he really needed to rest his poor hand, give it a bit of love and care. He was thankful for Mana having given him this little jar earlier in the day.

Closing his eyes, Heba listened to the quiet sounds around him. He heard the crackling of the fires lit in the halls, of the soft sounds from the animals of the night, of the distance voices of people. And what appeared to be quiet foot falls, coming towards him. He didn’t open his eyes as he heard the feet approach, until they stopped. He heard the shifting of fabric, before a slight rough, yet still soft, hand was placed on his forehead.

“Are you not well, child?”

Blue eyes shot open and Heba almost screamed in fright.

He saw Pharaoh, crouched down, his hand placed on the scribe’s forehead. He seemed to be looking at him curiously with those strange, sun-like eyes of his. Heba’s mouth felt as dry as limestone as he looked at his king, knowing full well he really shouldn’t, even with the recent granting of privilege, which Heba tried to avoid taking advantage of.

That, however, did not stop the young scribe from chancing glances at his pharaoh when things were more quiet in the court room. He wondered if Pharaoh had ever noticed.

“M-My Pharaoh...!” He finally managed to find his voice. “What are you doing here? Should you not be enjoying the evening meal with your court..?”

Pharaoh gave a shrug, his hand never moving from Heba’s forehead. “I did not feel like being social for too long, I finished my meal and excused myself to my chambers. They happen to be on this side of the Great House, and I was passing through, surprised to find you laying on the ground like this. Are you feeling ill?”

Heba shook his head a little, his eyes focused on the pendant, it was shining in the light of the moon. Almost like it was glowing.

“I am fine, my Pharaoh, I am just tired and needed a moment to rest.” He paused, glancing up at the god king. “Did I worry you?” Oh by the gods, he hoped he did, there was something... so fascinating... about being worried by Pharaoh himself, almost forbidden, a scandal! Pharaoh should not bother himself with the well being of a scribe...!

Pharaoh frowned softly and gently removed his hand, only to lift up Heba’s arm, looking at his wrist. “Have we worked you too much, little one? You were quite busy today, there was much discussion, I should have sent in a replacement when I had noticed you were having a bit of trouble keeping up...”

“N-no!” Heba gasped, sitting up quickly. “It is alright! It is my duty to document the words of Pharaoh and his court! I must do my duty to please you..!”

The god king blinked, eyes wide for a moment, before he chuckled softly. “Calm yourself, Heba.” A flutter was felt in Heba’s heart when he heard his name being spoken by this man. “I do not want to wear you out, not so soon.” There was a strange glint to his eye as he looked at Heba.

He gently started to rub the other’s wrist, making Heba blush. “M-My Pharaoh...?”

“You work yourself to the bone, constantly writing the words of my court, you must take a moment to relax. Shall I help you do that?” A smirk tugged at his lips.

“... What?”

Pharaoh looked at Heba, right in the eye, they were so close, just... just inches apart. Heba could see his king’s face so clearly, he looked beautiful, dangerous, powerful... his eyes burned with a fire that Heba hoped would never burn out.

“I asked if you would like me to help you relax. I am sure that I could be of great help to you, Heba.” The smirk had a touch of playfulness to it, Heba thought his heart skipped a few beats for a second there. 

Heba was suddenly pulled to his feet, but they felt like water as Pharaoh held him close. “Come with me to my chambers.” It was not a request, but a demand, and Heba just nodded.

He wasn’t sure how he made the walk to Pharaoh’s chambers without falling on his face, his legs were moving all on their own, his mind a million miles away from here. All he could register was that Pharaoh invited him to his private quarters, and he was currently holding his hand.

He didn’t even register that they were in the chambers until he was pushed onto a plush surface. Heba was shocked to find that he was on the largest, softest bed he had ever laid upon. He had only slept on mats on the floor his whole life, ever something like this! He didn’t even know such a bed could exist.

Heba blinked, looking around the room. The bed was in the center, translucent silk curtains contained it. There was no head rest, nor a soft stone or mat to lay one’s head upon, but rather cushions were used. The blanket felt soft, reminded him of the fine fabrics that the priests wore.

The room itself was large, and beautifully decorated. Like many rooms in the palace, there were stories painted on the walls, this one seemed to show a story of Amun-Ra. There was beautifully decorated furniture in the room, some of it looked foreign, probably gifts, same with some of the strange objects on display.

Heba found Pharaoh by a vanity, removing some of his cuffs and jewelry. Right, before he ran into Heba, he had been coming here to rest. The boy watched curiously as Pharaoh removed his pendant, carefully placing it inside of a golden box. His cape and collar were the next to be deposited, then he removed his top.

Blushing deeply, Heba looked at his lap instead. “My Pharaoh, why did you bring me to your private chambers...?”

Pharaoh glanced back at him, slipping on a simple one-piece, the fabric was thin, perfect for a warm night like this. He chuckled, his voice was rich, like fine wine. He approached the bed, sitting upon it. The only jewelry he wore was his crown, and a small charm around his neck.

“I brought you here to relax you. You are so tense, child, you remind me too much of Seth.”

Heba frowned at the comparison to the High Priest, that man was so tense that it almost seemed like a simple touch could shatter him. “I am fine, but thank you for the offer.”

Pharaoh watched him, before reaching out, gently pushing Heba onto his back. The boy squeaked, about to protest, but his king flipped him onto his stomach. “M-My Ph-!” He was silenced by gentle fingers running through his unruly locks.

“Shh... in here, you may call me something else.” His voice was so low, his tone... almost seductive...

Heba swallowed the lump in his throat, his cheeks burning bright. “What... may I call you...”

He didn’t get a response, instead, he felt hands on his bare back, gently pressing in spots. Heba couldn’t help himself, he moaned as the touches got him in certain spots that had been bothering him lately.

“You are feeling a bit better, I can tell. Do you like how I’m touching you?” Pharaoh spoke softly, leaning close to Heba’s ear to speak. It made the body shutter, but he nodded, letting out a pleased sound.

He had never felt anything like this before, it was... it was amazing, to say the least. He frowned when the touches stopped, only to hear a small popping sound, like something had been opened. He smelt something faint, a flowery scent, before the hands returned, this time with an oily feel to them.

Heba felt like water, this was so much better than before. “You’re going to put me to sleep, My Pharaoh...” Heba mumbled, closing his eyes, hearing his king’s deep laugh, though it wasn’t mocking or anything, just amused.

“Atem.”

“Hmm...?” Heba tiredly tilted his head, did Pharaoh say something?

“You may call me, when we are alone, Atem.”

The scribe felt like he just learned one of the most important things in his life, but he was so sleepy that it did not register well in his tired, fuzzy mind. He smiled softly, nodding. “Yes, my P- I mean, Atem.” He said as he began to blissfully fall asleep, the last thing he heard was the other’s voice.

“Rest now, Heba, you may sleep in here with me.”

--

It was suppose to be flirty, and then it turned into back rubs and Pharaoh revealing his name! Enjoy!

And I should note, Heba has purple eyes, but in Egypt, the color would be considered a shade of blue, so he sees his eyes as such. They’re still the same shade of orchid as Yugi’s though.

Haikyuu!! Kids

so this was supposed to be about the kids of my fave ships from haikyuu!!, but also it turned into more discussing family dynamics,,, this is very self indulgent of me! expect headcanons and projections. also im worried that i made yukio an autistic stereotype, but. im autistic and thats what i was like as a kid and also i want to give her lots of friends like i never had, so. yeah. to see pics of them, look here! but the pics arent in order, warning :3

TsukkiYama’s Kid

A girl, Aiko. Tsukki is a trans boy (Yama is NB) so she is their biological daughter. She has yama’s freckles, and she wears glasses, and has tan skin, and curly blond hair and a cowlick! 

Tsukki and yama are Domestic™. they always joke and tease and (lightly) bicker with each other, their home is a very playful and cozy and open environment. She feels that she can go to them with anything, and get comfort/advice. They (tsukkiyama) have fun but they aren’t as loud/energetic as, say, hinata or bokuto- she isnt necessarily shy, but she is softspoken and softhearted. Tsukki n yama are very in love, and are domestic and affectionate, and she’s become a bit of a hopeless romantic watching them- she loves shoujo manga and daydreaming about what her wedding will be like. She’s autistic, like Tsukki!

she isnt into sports, but she does love being outside, and because of her the family has a habit of going out on picnics in the park! she’s in elementary school, and her best friend is bokuto and kuroo’s kid, Yoko

IwaOi’s Kids

two girls, and a boy- Mana, Akane, and Katsu! all adopted. The girls are biological sisters, in middle school, and the boy is a new addition to the family, only a year and a half old. the girls have long brown hair, and the boy is tan with black hair.

Mana is the younger sister, and is very polite and calm. She likes ~sophisticated~ things and princess aesthetics, like tea parties and lace and bows. Oikawa totally spoils her, she’s daddy’s little princess! She’s not bratty though, she’s very nice, and voluntarily helps around the house and things like that. She and her sister get along well, and she likes taking care of her little brother, cause it makes her feel responsible and royal.

Akane is the oldest, and she’s super into volleyball (much to iwaoi’s glee). She’s on a youth volleyball team, and Iwaoi never miss a game! She’s lazier than her sister and doesn't like doing chores, she’d rather be doing something more fun! she’s not into Mana’s whole aesthetic, and thinks she should be letting loose and playing more while shes still a kid, but she respects her sister and her attempted lifestyle.

Katsu is only a year and a half old, but so far he is a very sleepy and soft boy! Iwa buys him lots of godzilla merch

BoKuroo’s Kid

nonbinary, uses she/her pronouns, Yoko. short black hair that coves her eyes, braces, likes wearing bright colours! fave fashion fau pax: skirt over pants. Bokuto and Kuroo are both trans boys, so she’s adopted.

bokuroo’s household is very messy and loud, but full of love. she loves both her dads very much, and always makes them crafts and brings them flowers (and bokuro die of happiness each time). their house is never quiet- either music is playing, laughter is being made, or arguments over board games are happening (or a mix of all three). their house is fun and all, but sometimes she does get in trouble for trying to break rules (like staying up too late, or not doing her homework). bokuroo wanna be Fun Parents™, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do! shes very friendly, and loves colours/colouring! shes never really emberassed, as bokuroo have raised her to be sure of herself and she knows her dads always have her back, at least.

she’s autistic, and she has lots of friends! her best friend is tsukkiyama’s kid, Aiko. she loves cats and running, and wants to be on the track team when she gets to middle school!

TanaNoya’s Kids

A boy and a girl, Tsuyoshi and Ryota! Noya and Tanaka are both trans, but even if they weren’t they wanted to adopt anyways. Tsuyoshi is the older brother, and tries to act all cool but is such a dork. He has long dark hair in a low ponytail. Ryota is a bit cold to others, but around her family she is very playful and they all have lots of laughs together! She also has long dark hair, usually pinned back from her face.

The tananoya household is very lively, to say the least. The kids are delinquents and tananoya dont discourage it- admittedly they think its cool, but also they say that the kids should get out their rebellion now while theyre still kids. They still have to do their homework (tananoya got them a tutuor when they realized they werent much help) and let them know where they are, so what does it matter if they skip some classes, or talk back to a teacher or two?

The family cooks together all the time, and they have fun with it! Sometimes it dosen’t turn out so well so they order in afterwards. Their house can get messy sometimes, cause instead of cleaning throughout the week, sunday is cleaning day, and they do all the laundry and mopping and stuff on sundays- with the exception of dishes, which get done frequently.

DaiSuga’s Kid

a girl, Emi. She’s adopted, in middle school, and has short black hair.

she’s very studious, and not very athletic, but she likes watching her dads play, and sometimes she joins in with just tossing the ball around at the park.

Daichi is a Responsible Parent™, but suga usually lets her get away with stuff behind dai’s back, like sneaking her chocolate before dinner, or letting her out of time out early (when she was younger, obvi). Thats not to say that she likes suga better! Daichi is her strong and reliable dad that takes care of her when she’s sick and helps her with school and makes her feel safe. and, dont get it twisted, daichi can be playful too, when he wants to be! She loves them both so much!

she’s polite enough, and not necessarily on bad terms with anyone, but she doesn’t really have many friends- mostly just acquaintances. she loves spending time with her dads, but wishes she had more friends her own age, or even that she could have a sibling to hang out with.

she loves to go to the park with her dads, she usually reads in the fresh air for a while before joining her dads in tossing the vball around :)

TLDR: im bi and autistic and i like to feel wholesome. asdfghjklkjhgfd this feels so comforting, so real. wow gay love is the purest thing on earth!

#ocs #mine #asdfghjk #this is so indulgent of me

❝ I’m here to have a fun and serotonin  time, not a victory time. If I can’t have fun, then what’s the point of playing? Winning all the time gets so boring ❞

THE ULTIMATE MAGIC THE GATHERING PLAYER (MTG PLAYER) IS PREPARED TO DIE

Moon always plays a variety of decks in varying formats, draft not withstanding. She tries her best to diversify her playstyle but in the end she always sticks to tokens. She likes to be able to swarm the field and laugh at the sheer absuridity she can do with token decks no matter the color combination. The current decks she has are…a lot. The last time Moon checked, it was around 69 commander decks, 10 modern deck, 1 standard that she’ll take apart when certain sets rotate out, 2 vintage decks, and like 3 legacy decks.

You can imagine how much all of that costs in total.

Her primary decks, at least in commander, are Brudiclad and Trostani; two token decks that represent two sides of her, Trostani and Brudiclad.

Trostani focuses on token generation via enchantments and life gain. To Moon, Trostani is more…passive. She can lean back and watch as her Life Total skyrockets to the thousands; one time it went to the millions due to…multiple token doublers going off; it was a mathmatical nightmare. Honestly, she can just lay back, watch her tokens and life multiply, and then attack for game. She usually attacks when it’s least expected; Moon is sneaky like that. She gets a lot of glee from the sheer shock from how many tokens she has on the field. Plus, she runs green so she can ramp pretty quickly. When Moon plays Trostani, she’s more laid back and prone to not pay as much attention unless she is needed for something or if she needs to do some ungodly math. When she smiles, she’s happy that she’s able to have fun by winning with a lot of life points and watching other people beat each other while saving her for last. You can see her grin as everyone starts to pummel each other, never minding whatever bullshit Moon has up her sleeve. Trostani is like the sleepy and quiet deck that’s silent but deadly except you can see how many tokens she has and how much life she is at. When she beats you with this deck, it will be with a gentle smile.

Brudiclad (or as she nicknames them “Bootyclap”), on the other hand, is more aggressive. Rapid token growth and artifacts is her game here. Counter spells are more abundant here and Moon will be more aggressive playing with Brudiclad. A lot more aggressive; this deck enables her to take more risks with attacking while giving her counterspells as a safety net. Mana ramp is sort of a problem but when you have a lot of mana rocks and the ability to possibly go infinite with Deadeye Navigator and Peregrine Drake. When she plays this deck, she is a bit more…aggressive in her demanor; she tends to egg people on and is willing to cut deals with people in her pod thanks to a few cards like Curse of Opulence and Curse of Verbrose not to mention cards with ‘tempting offer’ in red and blue. Instead of being a sneaky little shit, she’s a loud piece of shit who’s willing to use Brudiclad’s token copying ability to suit her needs and with Helm of the Host with Mirror Gallery…have fun. She’s more flexiable in what creature she needs for that particular turn. Not to mention she can just gain extra battle phases and go all in. She once had 100+ Brudiclad triggers go off before she turned them into Eltali (and making them lose their legendary supertype thanks to Mirror Gallery) and just swung for game. At all 5 opponents. And making them mill god knows how many cards. When she grins, it’s a vicious kind of grin; 'I want to eat you whole while having artifacts on my side of the field’ is what she wants to do as she enters the battle phase and multiple Brudiclad triggers go off and then tunring into whatever token she needs. Sometimes it can be more Brudiclad tokens, other times it can be treasure tokens when she needs to ramp. When she has Etali on the field and decides 'I’m just going to swing this dinosaur at you all’ then you’re in trouble. Have fun trying to survive when Moon is gleefully planning how to make you lose via tokens.

Modern? We don’t touch modern–okay we’ll touch on Modern. She’s a Simic player (Green/Blue) and she plays the Uro deck which focuses on ramping a whole lot and combined with Omnath, Locus of Creation? You’re in for a very bad time. She loves and hates this deck primarily because it’s a very powerful deck but it’s also boring so whenever she doesn’t have to play modern, she avoids the format entirely. You can tell she’s bored by the way she puts her cards down: just puts her cards down quickly and with a lack of enthusiasm. She also plays a spell slinger deck she topped two Modern events that involved having Lutri as the companion and…a whole lot of sorcery/instant copying cards. She has a lot more fun playing this deck although she has to call a judge because of certain timing rules that, despite her title, can never get down. While she has knowledge of the game, she is only human and sometimes her memory is bad so she needs to be reminded. This applies to Arena whenever she is (forced) to play. When she plays her Lutri spell slinger deck, you can tell she’s trying to be careful; timing rules are weird in Magic and she hates to step on anyone’s toes. She hate’s being a rule breaker and she hates pissing off everyone because if you piss everyone off then they’ll be mad at you and tell you to d–She hates having to miss timing, so she always asks. Even in the finals, she has to ask for timing and sure it makes her look stupid but she would rather look stupid asking then look stupid doing it.

Standard? Oh god, never ask her about Standard; she’ll take what she can get or scrounge around the internet for inspiration then tweak it. IF she has to play Standard, then she will go for a burn deck or whatever is the Cool New Deck to play with. She barely participates in Standard unless events call for it. Her mood depends on what kind of deck she is (forced to) play but expect her to be somewhat grumpy. She will, from time to time, play meme decks and her mood will be up. She wins half the time with whatever meme and janky deck she decided to pick up; it’s fun. She’s also loud whenever she plays meme decks; you can hear her laugh from two tables away. People will say that, if you her hear laughing that loud, then she’s playing a meme deck though reports did say that this is rare nowadays.

We don’t talk about draft. We NEVER talk about draft because those things can go haywire and she fucking /hisses/ at those formats. You can tell if an event is a draft like format by the look on her face. She likes the random chances but that’s only for the decks she constructed. Drafting, on the other hand, is not it for her. If she can help it, she avoids it but nonetheless she /has/ to go. Reminds her of her parents dragging her to 'important Indonesian events’.

For Legacy, she tends to play more graveyard decks such as Hogaak dredge which focuses on summoning Hogaak and other graveyard shenanigans. One of her most expensive decks that she has and she did play this when she was invited to a team trio constructed format as Team “Moist Girthy Loins”* ’s Legacy player. They topped that event with her winning most of her matches against the other Legacy players. Outside of any team formats that require Legacy players, she plays around with a lot of artifacts and Brudiclad except this is the more expensive version of Brudiclad and it’s not restricted to the singleton format. She also has a meme deck which can only be described at 'otter meme and artifact go brrrrrr’. She’s mainly neutral when playing, almost like she is tired…but she still has fun, though she would like it if people were chill a bit whenever she plays Legacy.

*Do not ask about the name; she did NOT come up with that.

Vintage is just artifact go burrrrr with Tolarian Academy and–she just goes ham with artifacts in this deck. Lockdown/prison, tokens, the whole 9 yards. She also plays a meme deck that she would describe as 'Brudiclad and Trostani, but involve deal making in there too’. She will hold back for the sake of giving other people a chance but sometimes she forgets and goes all out. Good god. The format where she just chills and watch people have a grand old time while she sets up artifacts to fuck people up.

But what is she like outside of Magic? Well…

Wouldn’t you like to know, weather boy?

She’s so tired and she’s trying to live and be happy but everything always comes crashing down. She just wants to sleep forever. She’s trying she swears but there are days where it’s hard and there are days where she is reminded that no matter how much money she earned from the tournaments she will never make her parents happy. she will always be the family disappointment.

she wants everything to end. she wants the roller coaster of emotions to just. stop.

but no one will ever know that, now will they?

Rune Factory Secret Santa 2017

Here it finally is! My fanfic for @runefactorysecretsanta! Thank you for being a wonderful host!

I got @angry-sea and I’m so glad I got someone who loves Cecilia as much as I do! It’s a little messy but I tried to include several of your ships. I hope you enjoy :)

The wedding was more than Cecilia ever dreamed it would be.

The church was packed to the brim with people. Every single resident of Alvarna was in attendance, and many people from Kardia were able to make it as well.

Russell had been in tears from the moment he arrived in Alvarna. Cecilia knew she didn’t visit him near as much as she should, but her job with the De Sainte-Coquille’s kept her busy. And maybe she felt a bit out of place in her hometown. Half the villagers left to follow Raguna to some other town, leaving Kardia feeling empty and quiet. Cecilia didn’t like this. Cecilia wanted to live a cozy life, sure, but she also wanted to feel exhilarated. She wanted to be surrounded by people who made her feel alive, not to be stuck in a sleepy village where everyone walked around as if they were half-dead.

So when Tabatha set her up with a job in a town with a population almost double Kardia’s, she packed and left without hesitation.

It was by far the best choice she could have made. There were many more people her age as well as kids running around to make the town feel more alive. Cecilia loved it.

Then Kyle appeared.

Cecilia’s world was shaken, but everyone else was calm and simply accepted it.

Here was a boy with sun-kissed skin and hair almost like the rubies she loves so much with a knack for farming and fighting and charisma that earned him best friends all around town.

Besides the hair, he was just like Raguna.

Raguna, her childhood crush.

It seemed like a sign.

She fell in love quickly and unsurprisingly. What did surprise her, however, was when he loved her back.

After Kyle proposed to her with the round stone surrounded by beautiful fall colors that suited him perfectly Cecilia went straight home and wrote to Russell before telling anyone else.

One week later he showed up at the inn.

Egan was happy to set him up with a room and the two men hit it off right away. Cecilia was relieved. Egan had become a second father figure to her after she left home and it had been thrilling to meet another elf besides Tabitha.

Cecilia knew Egan was disappointed she wasn’t marrying Jake, but she also knew he was still happy for her. Upset that his son wouldn’t stop moping, sure, but still happy for her.

Jake was moping over losing out on Kyle, not her, but Cecilia was not about to tell Egan that.

The weeks before the wedding flew by. Russell loved Kyle, but that was unsurprising. Kyle has a down-to-earth personality that makes him likable. Russell is incredibly laid-back. It was bound to work out.

And now here she was, her arm entwined around Russell who was desperately fighting away tears.

Many of the Kardia residents are stuffed in the back pews. She makes eye contact with Nicholas to her right. His wife is beaming next to him with a little blue-haired baby in her arms. Cecilia’s goddaughter.

To her left she spies Raguna and Mist. They look just as in love as the day they got married, just a little older. There’s a few lines on their faces she doesn’t remember seeing the last time they saw each other. Two fidgeting kids sit with them.

Cecilia’s smile gets a little wider. She wonders how many kids she and Kyle are going to have.

Further up the aisle she smiles at all of her friends. Mana and Alicia are crying. They have been ever since they helped get Cecilia dressed and her hair done.

Cecilia finally steels her courage enough to meet eyes with her soon-to-be husband.

He’s crying too. Why are so many people crying?

Oh. Cecilia’s crying too. Somehow she just noticed.

Her father finally detaches his arm and takes his seat in the front row. Cecilia’s left arm feels cold and empty.

The ceremony goes quickly. They wanted to keep it short because of how stuffy the church can get when it’s crowded.

They decided to throw a reception party in the park and everyone drinks and dances in the comfortable spring air until late into the evening.

Cecilia’s feet hurt from dancing so much. She danced with Kyle, Russell, Egan, Jake, Raguna, Nicholas, Mist, Alicia, Mana, and then she lost track.

Cammy and Roy do an excellent job of entertaining Mist and Raguna’s kids, which Cecilia is thankful for. She wants them to stay as long as possible.

“I can’t believe you’re married,” Raguna had told her honestly while they were dancing. “You still seem like that little girl I saved from that cave. There’s no way you’re old enough for this.”

“I can’t stay little forever,” Cecilia told him in return. “And besides, Kyle is amazing. Have you talked to him yet?”

“Yes, I did. Can you believe he lost his memories too? What a weird coincidence.”

Cecilia just laughs and they finish out the dance.

Dancing with Nicholas leads to a similar conversation.

“I know you had a thing for Raguna way back when, but isn’t it a little weird to go find his personality twin to marry?” He asks, a mischievous smile on his face that makes it clear he’s joking.

“Oh, hush,” she scolds. “They’re completely different. Kyle has red hair. That’s much more my type.”

Nicholas laughs and dips Cecilia, making her squeal.

The party starts winding down around ten o’clock. Egan leads the folks who travelled from Kardia back to the inn. The goodbyes are sad. They’ll all leave in the morning.

Everyone else slowly trickles back to their houses.

The park is somewhat a mess, but part of the charm of living in a small village is that you can all decide to leave the clean-up of festival messes to the next day.

It’s just her and Kyle now. They’re still in their wedding garb but now they’re sweaty and a mess.

“You ready to go home?” Kyle asks, reaching out and grabbing her hand.

Home. Kyle’s farmhouse is not her home. She’s only been in it a handful of times. But it will become home, because Kyle is there. Kyle is home. Kyle has been home for a long time now.

“Yes, I’m ready.” She smiles at her husband and pulls him along the stone path to their future.

Takehisa: *petting a cat* "..."

Akitaru: "DON'T PET IT!"

Akitaru: *takes the coffee*

Takehisa: "How is that, Doug?"

Akitaru: "DON'T NAME--Wait, 'Doug'?"

Kana altair: ....

Anya: "...Oh. You."

kana altair:.....your lovelife is a mess, isnt it?

Anya: O\\\\\\\O "WHERE THE CRAP DID THAT COME FROM?"

kana altair: i just know.

Anya: "..." >\\\\> "Let's say...that was true. How would you know?"

kana altair: the walls have ears.

Anya: >\\\\\\\< "...Darn it..." *sits* "...What is wrong with me?"

kana altair: your heart is in several places at once.

Anya: "...How do I put it in one place?"

kana altair: if you want to find happiness, try to focus on yourself first.

Anya: "But that's what I've been doing!"

kana altair: is exhausting yourself to train really for yourself?

Anya: "...No. It's so I can find Yana."

kana altair: ....i see.....where would you even start looking?

Anya: "..." *heads in hands* "I don't know. The group she was with can't be found."

kana altair:....i doubt that will have been the last you saw of her. with any luck, she'll turn up again.

Anya: "..." *sits closer to the table* "Could you...do a card reading?"

kana altair: of course. *setting up*

-the cards chosen are the lovers, temperance, and the fool-

Anya: -_-# "Ignoring 'the Fool'...What do they mean?"

kana altair: the lovers, representing relationships and choices. it appears there is a choice in your life you wish to make, regarding your relationships. for temperance, it seems to state if you are single, chances are this isnt the time for you to find a relationship. as for the fool, it represents a new beginning.

Anya: "...So what, I should just give up on..." *hugs her knees*

kana altair: ...perhaps you will get lucky, perhaps not. who knows.

Anya: "..." *sniffs*

kana altair:...i'll give you time to think it over.

Anya: *nods* "...Thank you."

katrina: i guess....

Crane: "...So, about your research paper..."

katrina: what about it?

Crane: "I quite enjoyed it! Your sentence structure needs work, but your research was solid--and surprising!"

katrina: is that right?

Crane: "You used the family archives for some of the research--not many of us get to use them."

katrina: .....y-yeah...

Crane: "I'd love to take a look at them." ^^; "Think your parents would let me?"

katrina: i-i dont know...

Crane: "Well, I could ask them..."

katrina: good luck...

-she should at least know of it. you should bring her along, maybe she knows something-

Crane: "You'll see--I found some of the remains of early surveying and initial construction."

Steinbeck: "..." *following*

katrina: oh?

Crane: *nods* "I think it will help your research--you can even use it to publish your essay!" *takes her to a more secluded spot*

katrina: you sure you're not planning to do something horrible like murdering me?

Crane: O_o; "Wait, what?! No!"

-in the girl's defense—

Crane: -_-; "Just...look over here at this tree..."

katrina: ......

baum: ......

-there is a cave just ahead...looks old..-

Crane: "See how the tree has a marker on it? Where does it point to?"

katrina: points to that cold cave....

Crane: "That's where they kept building equipment..." *walks to it*

katrina:.....*uneasy*

Crane: *takes out his phone, turns on its flashlight, shines inside*

katrina: ......

Crane: *shines the flashlight onto--*

-there is something covered by a sheet-

Crane: "That's odd...Katrina, could you grab that?"

baum: ???

katrina:...*pulls the sheet back*

Crane: "..." *small smile*

-there is a woman's head there...-

katrina: *SCREAMS*

Crane: ^^; "I guess that's a normal reaction..."

katrina: w-w-what the hell is that?!

Crane: "A head."

katrina: I CAN SEE _THAT_!!

Crane: ^^; "I'm sorry for not telling you the truth sooner. I guess I got caught up in my discovery..."

emily: w-what the hell is this?!

Crane: "...Remember the Headless Hessian?"

emily:....!!

katrina: y-you mean....

twain: looks a bit too fresh to be any hessians, i'd think.

Crane: "?!" *turns*

katrina: !!!

emily: professor, just what is this?

???: idiot! i told you they were onto us, but did you listen? noooo!

Steinbeck: ._____.;;;;

Crane: -_-; "I'm trying my best!"

emily: ????

katrina: w-what was-?

????: just open your shirt so i can breathe!

Crane: "..." *sighs* >\\\\< *opens his shirt*

-there is a skeletal face there....-

???: and who might you lot be, eh?

katrina: !!!!! *passes out*

twain: *nice catch* easy now, easy…

Steinbeck: "!!! ...J-Just some passer-bys..."

???: issat right?....*glances at Hemingway*

Hemingway: "...Huh...What did you do to yourself?"

???: it's simply my ability, lad. attaching my soul to another living being. speaking of which, ichabod! you _did_ remember to bring my body here, right?

Crane: "Yes, yes, I remembered...It's around the corner."

emily: ability? wait, you're an ability user?

???: yeh, th'name's washington irving.

Steinbeck: "...The old man?"

irving: watch you yer calling old, boy! >3<#

emily: you were with the guild, correct?

irving:....how d'you know 'bout that?

Steinbeck: "Because we _are_ the Guild."

irving: ?!

Steinbeck: "I mean, we're the remnants of the previous Guild that Fitzgerald took over--You know what, this is taking too long, why the hell do you have a face on you?!"

Crane: .\\\.

irving: i just told ya what my ability does! ichabod, hit the blondie for me, will ya?

Steinbeck: "That doesn't explain jack! Why would having your soul attached cause you to grow a face--"

Crane: *picks up a shovel* "Okay!"

Steinbeck: "?!" *steps back*

irving: it's a side effect! >3<#

Steinbeck: "So's this!" *a vine appears along the ground, grabbing Crane's wrists before he can bring down the shovel*

Crane: "GRK?!" O_o

emily: alright, we have questions, and you're sure to have answers. first of all, what exactly is going on here?

Crane: *tied by vines* ._.;

Hemingway: "...I'm shaming this. So much."

Steinbeck: *clears his throat* "So. Headless Hessian. Why is the head so well-preserved and not rotted? What did you do to keep it looking this...um, good?"

irving: you want to tell them?

Crane: *defeated sigh* "So...I've been researching the Headless Hessian for some time, came upon the head, saw it lasted for so long, and figured, hey, must be something to that."

Steinbeck: "...Okay. You're a _professor_. I _know_ you can be more long-winded than that!"

emily: -_-;

irving: from what we found out, seems there's more to the hessian soldiers than initially believed.

Crane: *nod nod* "Just reach into the Hessian's mouth--*

Steinbeck: "WHAT THE HELL?!"

twain: *reaching in* ewwwww its all wet! phrasing!.....*ahem* *pulls out....a dogtag with a symbol and a name; Elsa Van Tassel*

Crane: "So...Yeah, kind of needed a Van Tassel here for that..."

twain: holy plot twist.

katrina: *coming to* nng....huh?

Crane: "...and with her here and awake, now we can figure out the secret to immortality!"

katrina: whats going on here?

Hemingway: "Well, if it's what I think it is, your creepy teacher has a head growing out of him and wants to take your body to use it to figure out how to extend the life of said body-face man."

irving: THATS NOT WHAT IT IS AT ALL, YOU BEEFCAKED OAF! we just want access to the family library and needed to give her a reason as to what's going on!

-emily explained to her what was going on-

katrina: ..n-no way.....i thought it was just an urban legend....right?....i-i didnt think the hessian was real, let alone a van tassel!

Crane: "Well, it is real. And please, we need your books--this is the discovery of the century!"

katrina: t-this is so much to take in....

emily: *examines the symbol on the dogtag* ....*snaps a picture*

baum: *pouts* i was hoping to show off in combat, too....darn...

dorothy: next time...

Crane: "Please? Irving and I would be so grateful..."

katrina:....i.....i'll think about it........*stares at the head*....she looks just like me...but older....

Crane: ^^; "I thought the same. Sorry for not telling you sooner, but when I saw the resemblance and checked your family history..."

katrina: .....d-do i tell mom and dad?

Crane: "Well, given your reaction, may be a better idea not to let this news get out. We're not ready to share this news with the world yet."

katrina: g-good call.....

emily: well, if its not too much to ask, we have some questions regarding the old guild, if mr irving is willing to answer....preferably in his own body? ^^;

Crane: ._.; "...Uuuuuum...I think that'll hurt--"

irving: just but your hand on my body's, i'll take care of the rest.

Crane: >~< *whimpers* *touches Irving's head* "Eeeeeew..."

twain: creepy.

Crane: *shivers*

*Something is heard moving around the corner*

emily: ??

baum: *SCREAMS AND JUMPS into the arms of the nearest person*

Hemingway: "???" *holding Baum, looks* "...Oh, Irving!"

Irving: *marches out* "Yeah, yeah..." *yawns, stretches* *smacks his lips* "...So, what time is it?"

emily: about 10:38 pm.

Irving: "No, what year?"

emily:.....

twain: QwQ she its hard for a little old lady...

Irving: *small laugh* "Yeah, I remember..." *rubs his chin* "She say anything nice about me?"

emily: she thought you were dead.

Irving: "...Well, that's not nice."

emily: ^^;

Steinbeck: "And you came here to...what, find a way to live longer?"

Irving: "FOREVER."

emily: hmm....so what do you know of the other old guild members? we heard mentions of a salinger and a harper?

Irving: "Zzzz..."

emily: *shakes* SIR!

Irving: "URK!" *clutches his chest* "Don't do that to an old man! ...Oh, right, J.D. is in the City, and Harper is in Alabam-ee."

emily: which city?

twain: alabama eh?

Irving: "..." -_- "_The_ City. New Amsterdam City."

Crane: *cough* "New York City, sir--"

Irving: "I knew that!" >_<

emily: i see, thank you. do you know of any other old guild members?

twain: other than melville, cause we know where he is.

Irving: "Well, Wilder is in the Midwest--"

-elsewhere-

stocking: so whats this meeting for?

Mephisto: *walking into the facility* "A follow-up and de-briefing about the Illuminati..."

stocking: hmmm....no updates on shima's end or...?

Mephisto: *finger over his lips* "I'll explain later..."

stocking: hmmm....

-and so-

Mephisto: "--and buying the land allows them to hide their research facilities under a glorified tourist trap."

stocking: from our findings, they were drugging locals and tourists and using them in experiments, one of their head researchers died during the raid on the facility...but in fairness, he deserved it.

drac: yes, but personal feelings aside, we had procured some of the artificial zombies and sent them to a research lab for testing.

-a video is displayed-

drac: as you see, the specimen retains a humanoid form. its brain barely functions, but the flesh rapidly regenerates. it was eliminated after about 30 direct shots to the brain stem.

stocking: ....

lewin: *raises hand and waves it* mm! mmm!

Triple A: "??? Yes?"

lewin: speeeaking of zombies, why not ask death city's two zombie experts? mr igor neuhaus and the DWMA's dr franken stein. they both have experience with living zombies, albeit via different circumstances.

Mephisto: "I am inclined to agree--their perspectives would be valuable."

drac: but what do those two have to do with the illuminati's research?

Mephisto: "Aside from knowledge about zombies, they are thorough."

stocking: ....

Mephisto: "And the Illuminati has been looking into demon eaters..."

drac: !!

true cross higher up: and what proof do you have?

Mephisto: "Well, let's think--they want immortality..."

drac: so their looking for stronger material?

True cross higher up: so they have yet to produce a proper vessal for satan...lord pheles?

Mephisto: *nods* "If they had, we'd see it by now."

stocking: dad, they’re asking you something.

higher up: lord pheles, if you could ask your spies to gather info on where they have its central elixer apparatus, it would be appreciated. if we can destroy it, even if the gate opens, we can prevent satan from entering assiah.

osceola: and yet i fear the gate itself requires greater caution. at the given moment, lord pheles' barrier has it contained, but it's attracted low to mid level demons as of late.

true cross member 3: the russian government has sealed the area off in a 100-kilometer radius, but the taint to the region is severe.

???: that's not all...

stocking: ??

lucy yang: the demons in the area have been more wrily as well, it's kept us all from getting any decent sleep. >3<#

stocking: so if the gate does open, people would see demons everywhere, and basically, everyone is in for a really bad time.

true cross member 4: cant lord pheles forestall the gate’s expansion

stocking: im pretty sure repeatedly stopping time and space would do more harm than good.

Mephisto: "Think ‘uber catastrophe’ times nine billion and then some."

-uneasy silence-

Mephisto: "The Illuminati has grown so large that we have to accept the possibility that they are not operating alone--an entire nation may be supporting them. Given what we have learned from our moles, the Illuminati may be humanity's worst enemy."

stocking: *shaking*

Triple A: "Like we need your lying moles to tell us that! How do we even know the information you present is the truth? You could just be trying to sow distrust, King of Lies..."

Mephisto: "..."

stocking: *blade at his face* look, i get that you have a thing against demons, but still, im not going to let you talk shit to my father like that. regardless of where his loyalties lie, he's my dad.

higher up: settle down, both of you!

Mephisto: "Stocking! Stand down!"

stocking:.....*takes her seat* s-sorry....

Mephisto: *sympathetic nod* "...Words do deceive...so perhaps you need more evidence..." *unbuttons his jacket*

stocking:....*her stomach drops in shock* dad....*tearing up*

Mephisto: *there are cuts, blood, and blackened skin on his chest* "I have had to expend my body to keep time from moving the Gate."

lewin:....in any case, now's not the time for fighting amongst ourselves. we're still reeling from the incident, and are in no condition for direct action. right now we need to make preparations to prevent any further incidents.

lucy yang: agreed, we need more personnel.

osceola: we should inform national governments as well.

higher ups: i hope you all get good rest tonight, because one hell of a storm is brewing.

-later-

stocking: …..dad?

Mephisto: *smiles* "Yes?"

stocking: does mom know? *she's still teary eyed*

Mephisto: "..." *nods*

stocking:....*hugs*

Mephisto: "..." *holds her, hugs*

lewin: *peeeek* 'scuse me, hi, sorry to interrupt the 'father-daughter' moment, but i wanted to give you something? *hands mephisto a paper*

stocking: *rubs her eyes*.....!! this is...

lewin: ^u^

Mephisto: "You're requesting a transfer?"

lewin: yessir! *shakes stockings hands* i look forwards to working with you, senpai!

stocking: ._.; um...

Mephisto: ^^; "...Stocking will show you around soon enough. For now, I'll have an assistant get you situated..."

Number 4: *slowly walking up...like, excruciatingly slow..."

#death city days

[theredpalace]

@diabolicalxshadow

When the Royal Family visited a temple to pay proper homage, they were joined by many members of the court, dressed to convey proper respect and humility.

Pharaoh Atem and his Queen Mana stood at the forefront, looking very solemn in their draping clothes and dressed in gold. The twins Heba and Selene were only twelve...and thus had their hands held by their parents as they looked around curiously. Selene attempted to be serious, but her gaze caught on the lovely braziers burning sweet incense, and Heba had to be tugged gently when he paused to look at the mosiacs on the floor.

Behind them marched the priests, and behind the priests was Genji.

With two other boys of Grecian descent, it would be boggling to the unfamiliar eye to see someone like himself following in reverential steadiness on a progression to the temple of Osiris. But wearing a clean white shenti, his eyes marked in kohl and a charm of Sekmet around his neck, he kept a stride that was reminiscent of a young cheetah...delicate yet proud.

His brothers, one half by his blood and the other adoptive, were younger than the royal twins, but maintained more control. Musashi was trying to look mature...and Kara was simply sleepy and wished to return to the nursery for a nap.

The Temple of Osiris bore his statue in the first chamber, where the family knelt and allowed the priests to oil their foreheads and murmur soft prayers over them. Genji knelt on one knee, but his head moved to looking admiringly on the walls. Here the tale of the god of the underworld was told....standing by the Gates of Amenti with his wife Isis, robed in her sorrows and ready to pass judgement with Ma’at. He passed over the frightful image of Ammit the Devourer...and caught the eye of an acolyte standing with the others.

With the exception of many royals in the palace, it was popular to shave ones head in Egypt and wear a wig instead. To ward off lice and the heat, it was a practical standpoint. But he saw a young man with hair as unusual as his own....molten gold despite his dark skin and Egyptian profile.

And in this hall devoted to the god of the dead, Genji gave him a lighthearted wink, before bowing his head in submission with the others.
