Plant Sitting

Kanae Kochou x They/Them Reader

A/N: Usually I would do some cursory research for a specific plant to refer to, but I didn’t feel like it at the time so I just kinda made one up. All hail Kanae Junior 🌸 👑 Word Count: 1,864

Kanae wandered the halls of her estate. Cradled in her arms was a delicate potted plant that she had been nursing to greatness for several weeks. It had been touch and go for awhile, but the plant was healthy and sure to bloom beautifully in the days to come. Unfortunately, she was being sent away on a mission and she could only hope that her partner would enjoy the budding flowers for her in her stead, which was why she was looking for them now. She finally saw them in the yard hanging the laundry to dry and slid up behind them, placing a free hand over their eyes.

“Guess who?” She teased.

“Hmm, too happy and playful to be Shinobu or Aoi, already too talkative to be Kanao, and too tall to be Sumi, Kiyo or Naho…”

Kanae giggled and kissed (Y/n) on the cheek, slipping her hand away from their eyes.

“Kanae!” (Y/n) cheered with mock surprise, “What are you up to? Taking Junior for a walk?” They asked, poking at the ceramic pot the plant resided in. They often joked that Kanae loved that plant like it was her first born child. Kanae loved it, so the name just kind of stuck.

“We were looking for you, darling.” Kanae hummed, indicating to Junior with a little shake of the pot. “I have a mission to prepare for tonight so I thought it prudent that I put Junior in the care of her other parent until I return.

“Uh, are you sure about that? Wouldn’t it be better to leave her with Auntie Shinobu?” (Y/n) had a notorious reputation of killing every plant they came in contact with, so they had no choice but the leave the care of such things to literally anyone else. They knew how hard this plant was to take care of, even for Kanae, so they certainly didn’t want to be responsible for it while Kanae was away.

“No, no, you can do it. Don’t worry, it’ll only be for a night or two. She might bloom and I want you to be the one to tell me all about her milestone should I miss it.” She pushed the potted plant in (Y/n)’s reluctant hands and kissed them on the tip of their nose. “I believe in you, (Y/n). I know you’ll do your best.”

“But, Kanae—“

“I love you, take care!” Kanae smiled sweetly and waved goodbye before quickly vanishing from sight, leaving (Y/n) alone with the laundry billowing in the wind and a very demanding plant in their hands.

“Oh no.” (Y/n) groaned. This felt like a test of their love and dedication. If they killed Kanae’s plant, they would never be able to make up for it. Kanae would never hold it against them of course, she was far too forgiving and understanding. That’s what made it so awful. They stared down at the plant tentatively as if only looking at it would cause it to brown and shrivel before crumbling into dust. Carefully, they moved back inside, laundry forgotten. The outside world was much to dangerous for this sheltered little plant.

They refused to take their eyes away from Junior for even a second as they walked, shielding the plant from any possible harm that could befall it other than themself of course. Though they were the biggest threat by far, Kanae had entrusted Junior to them specifically so it would be hard to protect the plant from themself.

They hid themself away in Kanae’s room where they were certain Junior felt most comfortable and simply stared at her for hours. As the sun began to set, they could hear footsteps tromping down the hallway and the door opened unceremoniously.

“Have you been in here all day?” Shinobu griped. “Come on, you’re late for dinner.”

“I can’t go.” (Y/n) said, still staring at the plant as if in a trance. “Kanae left me in charge of Junior. I can’t leave her by herself.”

“Are you stupid?” Shinobu scoffed, folding her arms over her chest. “It’s a plant, not a baby. It can survive without supervision for an hour.”

“But—“

“Come on,” Shinobu roughly grabbed (Y/n) by the ankle and began to drag them across the floor, tugging especially hard when they tried to hang onto the door frame, “Nee-san might have put you in charge of her plant, but she put me in charge of your dumb ass.”

Shinobu dragged (Y/n), ignoring the looks the Kakushi cast their way as she went. She only let go once they made it to where everyone else was waiting for them. They said their thanks and began to eat, all the while (Y/n)’s mind was focused solely on the condition of Junior. They ate quickly and helped wash the dishes in record speed and bid each girl goodnight before sprinting back to Kanae’s room.

“(Y/n)-san is very devoted to Kanae-sama, aren’t they?” Sumi commented, earning a couple affirmatives from Kiyo and Naho.

Meanwhile Aoi and Shinobu gave each other a bored look and Kanao blinked slowly, taken off guard by (Y/n)’s abrupt exit.

***

(Y/n) knelt before the plant, scrutinizing it closely. Did it look different? Was that leaf always a little droopy? Panicking, they dove for the watering can in the corner. When they turned back to face Junior, their ankle rolled and they fell. Fortunately, they hadn’t landed on Junior… but the watering can did. The quiet crunch of the tin half filled with water landing on the plant was deafening in (Y/n)’s ears.

“Kanae Junior! Nononono, you’re okay, you’re okay, you’re okay!” They chanted in breathless whispers as they removed the watering can and assessed the damage.

Junior was a little bent and a couple of leaves had fallen off, but she was not too far gone at least. Still, (Y/n) felt awful. That could have been so easily avoided! They gave the plant some water and despondently returned the watering can to where it belonged. Death by watering can would certainly be a first for them if the plant didn’t survive the night.

They apologized to Junior profusely, gently stroking her leaves as they did so. Hopefully Kanae would be back soon so she could take the plant far, far away from (Y/n) and their anti-green thumb. What was the opposite of a green thumb? Brown? Black? While (Y/n)’s mind wandered, their eyes slipped shut, head buried in their arms, they fell asleep on the tatami mats in front of Junior, unaware of the plant slowly drooping downward.

***

Light streamed in through the window and (Y/n) stretched out on the floor like a cat before flipping over completely in an effort to escape the early morning sun. Their hand brushed against the ceramic of Junior’s pot and it was like a jolt of electricity rolled through their body and they were suddenly wide awake. They sat up and felt their stomach drop.

The whole plant had gone limp.

It was still green and looked alive, but (Y/n) was sure it wasn’t supposed to fall over like that, and after the fiasco with the watering can…

They scrambled to their feet and ran down the hall to Shinobu’s room, knocking against her door until it finally jerked open.

“What, what is it?” Shinobu grumbled, extra grumpy after being awoken so abruptly.

(Y/n) tried to speak, but only a quiet whine left their lips. Shinobu, having had dealt with their messes before, understood perfectly clear.

“You killed it, didn’t you?”

A louder, more drawn out whine and a jerky nod of the head was (Y/n)’s reply.

“If it wasn’t the most annoying talent ever, I would be impressed.” Shinobu sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose, “Come on then, show me the damage.”

(Y/n) showed Shinobu the plant and she gave it an evaluation.

“Well, somehow it’s still alive. How did you manage this any way?” Shinobu asked.

“I, I accidentally hit it with the watering can.”

Shinobu rolled her eyes, “It should be fine. Just don’t touch it anymore. Nee-san should be back before long.”

Shinobu made them help her and Aoi with breakfast after that. Then they went out with the younger girls to take down the laundry and bring it inside. It was around that time when mumblings of Kanae’s return to the estate started to spread. (Y/n) was happy, but also nervous. They wanted to go find Kanae and greet her like they always did, but knowing that she most likely saw the state Junior was in already, they kept busy doing work around the estate. Of course it was only a matter of time before Kanae sought them out herself.

“Ah!” (Y/n) jumped, suddenly being grabbed from behind, they dropped the broom they had been using to sweep the path outside of the estate’s main entrance.

“There you are, I’ve been looking everywhere for you!” Kanae hugged (Y/n) tighter against her front, nuzzling the space between their shoulder and neck. “I missed you.”

“I missed you too.” (Y/n) said, relaxing into Kanae’s hold as she rocked them from side to side.

“Then why didn’t you come to greet me?” (Y/n) could feel Kanae pout against their cheek.

“I’ve done Kanae Junior irreparable harm,” they sighed, “I’m sorry, I really tried to take care of her, but…”

“Hm? She looked just fine to me.” Kanae blinked, genuinely confused.

“You don’t have to try to make me feel better. I totally bent her in half.”

“(Y/n), that’s what’s supposed to happen.”

“Huh?”

“When that plant gets close to blooming, the weight of the blossoms becomes too much from the stem and it bends. You didn’t do anything wrong.” Kanae comforted.

“I accidentally dropped the watering can on it.” (Y/n) deadpanned. Kanae took a moment to process before chuckling and kissing (Y/n)’s cheek.

“My poor dear, I promise Junior is no worse for wear. In fact, I would like you to come visit with me. There is something I’d like you to see.”

(Y/n) let Kanae take them by the hand and lead them back into the mansion and into her room, telling (Y/n) to close their eyes just before they entered.

“You may open them now.” She said once she knelt down beside the troublesome plant to have a perfect view of (Y/n)’s face when they saw it.

(Y/n) opened their eyes and marveled at the beautiful blossoms that laid spread out upon the floor. They couldn’t even see the stem at all. It looked like a fine rope woven with flowers and leaves. It was certainly one of the prettiest plants they had ever seen Kanae care for and they made sure to tell her as much.

Kanae accepted the praise with grace, motioning for (Y/n) to sit with her and asked them about all that went on while they were apart, which wasn’t much of note, but she enjoyed listening to (Y/n)’s voice. Eventually, Kanae carefully placed the limp plant on a bare shelf for display.

“What will your next project be?” (Y/n) asked.

Kanae hummed, “I’m not certain. Whatever it is though, I want us to grow it together,” she grinned, “It is sure to be my biggest challenge yet!”

Got me thinking since they pulled this last minute Kwon Minwoo redemption plot. Think they might do the same with Tae Sumi?

See again,I'm not opposed to Attorney Kwon's redemption arc or his perspective. Looking back, as much he was a MAJOR ableist asshole towards Young woo,he seemed to be a kinda go-okay-ish friend to Junho. He seems to be passionate about his job. Does he have the same ethics that Young woo has? Probably not. He works for money (which generally speaking imho isn't a bad thing) from the looks of it but then again I really do not know. I like my characters grey but his redemption arc should've been written a lot better and definitely not from a romantic POV which in my humble opinion was also sloppily written. Could've paired them up at the end ,show some blossoming feelings. Hints of a romance after he had FALLEN DOWN ON HIS KNEES AND BEGGED YOUNG WOO FOR FORGIVENESS.

Lol I sound like a broken recorder. I'm just so dissatisfied haha.

Anyways going back to Tae Sumi, correct me if I'm wrong but she is a daughter of some bigshot lawyer? and she inherited Taesan law firm from her dad and was the CEO and then stepped down and went back to the field and now is on her way to becoming the Minister of Justice? My ADHD brain glosses over these facts so I hope I got that right lol

So what I'm assuming is she probably had lots of expectations and I guess her family were big names. A baby out of wedlock would've been a huge scandal and caused lots of issues. So,then I could understand a scared young girl with lots of expectations on her. After that scene when she finds out that Woo Young Woo is her daughter,I thought I saw hurt and regret. Even when she pulled the whole Boston thing. I was mad mad at her but then I also thought of that being the possibility of her protecting them. I would've considered that possiblity until that interaction with Kwon Minwoo where it seemed it was never about her regret or protecting them or her daughter or making amends. It was the fear of losing everything but then again I don't know.

Then we have CEO Han too. Can't say I'm totally surprised but damn I didn't think she would do it like this.

Again I don't know how it's all going to play out.

Young woo can leave that stinking Hanbada and go work with Attorney Ryu or the firm Attorney Jung opens up when he is better. He better be 👀.

All I want for her is that she continues doing what she loves and she has the people she loves and who love her by her side. Her dad,her friends,her mentor (s) and her boyfriend ,Junho (they communicate and work through their issues like the healthy couple that they are)

In the end, I just want my darling to be happy.

And she better see them dolphins or whales..

#extraordinary attorney woo #woo young woo #lee junho #choi suyeon #kwon min woo #jung myeong seok #tae sumi #that CEO Han bitch #young woo is my darling my honey bunch sugar plum my pumpy umpy umpkin sweetie pie cuppy cake gum drop snoogums boogums the APPLE OF MY EYE #i love her so much you do not understand #whale couple

My darling,

I write to see how my lovely boy fairs. I unfortunately had to ask many a time to have permission to write you and they say they will be checking through everyone’s letters upon completion. It is a strange and strict place. Every one here is mostly like myself. Desire wise at the very least. We aren’t allowed to paint but we can color using crayons and markers. They will not allow us pens, pencils or paintbrushes. Too many accidents according to the nurses. We must also take medicine to help ease us through the day. I don’t very much enjoy taking them. It makes me feel numb on the inside. But they claim tis for the safety of the other patients and nurses here. I tried to hide my second dodge under my tongue to spit out later, but they found it almost immediately and I were punished. Though I suppose I deserved such for not following their rules.

Anyhow, how are you holding up, my dear? How are Anna and Peyton? My babies. Will you tell them I miss them terribly already? I hope to see them soon. Oh, and Aslan and Basil, of course! Papa and Père are doing well, yes? I hope Père isn’t still upset with me after what I had said… I’d give anything to be able to apologize in person… Will you kiss the others for me? Especially Lewey, whom I’m sure is worried. Always the mother hen…

I miss you my dearest prince. Remember that I read your name in the stars still…

Forever yrs,

Elias

My dear Elias,

Nothing has strangled me so cruelly with heavier tears and despondency then your absence. If I had thought your time away at France was torture, then I am surely burning away in some sort of Hell. I wish all things permeance, despite the unlikelihood, but you are most truly the only specimen in which I crave eternity with. Had I thought I ever despised everything before, I am now most sorely mistaken. Without you there is no light, there is no warmth, and no joy at all; I shall sooner die from this plague of dull solitude that is life without you. In lesser words—I am miserable.

Anastasia fears with great terror that your return will be never. Peyton isn't well either, and is trying hard to pry responsibility from my grasp as to ease the stress—I am not to allow him. If I could bare a face of feign gallantry when cursed with a shot wound, I shall act with whatever mask the children require so we are not all a depressive lot. I have been feeding the rabbits, aside from the ring and your braided hair from France; Alsan is all that carries your same spirit in the shadow casted in your place. Papa seems in good spirits, Father too. The latter misses you just as desperately, I think he is too consumed with dread for your sake to be able to feel any reminiscence of anger or sorrow. Young Lewis has actually made the request to talk to you when abled.

On the subject of apologies; I owe you one, my dear. The prior night I had acted in a manner of having been consumed with several emotions, because I had been. In the face of things, a silly and minor agreement is the least of anyone's worries when you are drinking to escape slaughtering thoughts. I care less of any trust that was broken, and rather the dread of my darling drunk and alone by himself. I am sorry for having acted out on some trivial trust—I suppose I have past experiences to fault for my outrage at the slightest bit of distrust, but not an excuse all the same. Obsecro te satis nota cum Latinis ut haec pars sine oculis anonymi perspici possit, sed brevem licentiam lectionum mearum cum Domino Poole sumi. Plus virium mihi videtur deesse quam hic apud te egi. Praecipue nunc cum the filii mei omnem guttam operam requirunt.

Remember my everlasting love for you, mon cher. May it encourage you to rise from your current predicament, so I may have you in my arms once more and never let go as I have regrettably done.

Adieu

Yours, Philip A. Hamilton-Laurens

Future

Agnes/Estinien. Years into the future, Estinien and Agnes debate expanding their family...again.

Several years into the future…

“Bapa, look!” Esme Varlineau shouted as she conjured a stone to hit a target. “Stone! So easy!”

“Easy now, but you’ll be learning much more from your mother and Brother E-Sumi when you’re older.” Estinien said, admiring his eldest’s innate skills in conjury. “I daresay you’ll give your mother a run for her money.”

Esme wrinkled her nose. “Oh Bapa. I can’t be exactly like mummy. She’s the Warrior of Light. She’s the best.” She ran to him and launched herself into his arms. “But I’ll try!”

Estinien laughed and kissed her forehead. “I know you will, Esme.” He set her down and sighed. “Speaking of mummy, where is she?”

“She took Celestine, Sylvaine, and Aurelien on a walk. They should be back soon.” Esme responded and then froze. “I think I can hear them now!” She bolted toward the source of two young children laughing and a baby cooing. “Mummy! I did Stone and hit the target! Bapa saw!”

She’ll be rivaling me when I was in the Conjurer’s Guild soon. “That’s lovely, darling!” Agnes said, smiling while trying to wrangle eight-month-old Aurelien. “And we had a nice time at the park, didn’t we?”

“Yes! Yes! Yes!” Celestine shouted, grabbing one of Estinien’s legs. Sylvaine was greeted by his older brothers---two sets of twins Hamignant and Marcelin and Philipine and Laurent.

“Hamignant love, can you wrangle this group inside and check if your grandmother doesn’t need any help?” Agnes asked. “It would be such a big help.”

Their eldest son beamed. “Yes mummy! Come on, everyone! Grandma might have cookies for us!” He took Sylvaine’s hand, and in an instant, the group of 8 ran inside.

Agnes walked to one of the benches in their garden and felt a familiar pinch on her ass. “Oh Estinien!” She laughed and sat down.

Estinien laughed with his wife, putting his arm around her once seated. “I haven’t done it in…let’s see…three hours. Had to. How was the park?”

“Wonderful! Celestine and Sylvaine ran around like crazy, burning off all that energy. It’s such a contrast between them and say, Laurent, who was more happy curled up in my lap while I read.” Laurent, my sweet little bookworm. What a fine scholar you’ll make someday. “And how were things here?”

Estinien sighed. “Esme is improving every day in what little conjury she knows. And the boys are excelling in their lessons. Hamignant told me he wants to write to Aymeric to ask if when he’s old enough he can be a squire for him. Wants to learn the sword. Hmph. My eldest son wanting to learn the sword.”

Oh dear. “It’s his decision, love.”

“Oh, I know I know but still! Eight children and not a single one wishes to learn the lance! Not one!” Estinien groaned. “Eight! And not one!”

Agnes stifled a laugh. “Some of them are still quite young. Who knows? Maybe one will show an interest later.”

“Esme has already decided on the path to conjury. All she wants is to help and heal like you. At least you have that!” Estinien massaged his temples, sighing even more.

I have…what? “’Stinien, just because none so far have showed any interest in learning the lance doesn’t mean they don’t want to honor you or make you proud. Hamignant told me as much. He wants to be just like you.”

“Except without a lance.” He grumbled.

Oh for fuck’s sake. “And that shouldn’t matter.”

Estinien closed his eyes. “I’m aware. It’s just…my pride’s a bit wounded is all.”

Just a bit. Okay. Right. Agnes kissed his cheek and smiled at him. “Oh, love. We have eight wonderful children who adore you. What can be better than that?”

As soon as Agnes said that, Estinien’s eyes opened again. Oh dear, he looks like he has an idea. “Eight wonderful children, yes. But…nine wonderful children and the ninth could be interested in the lance.”

Agnes blinked. Her mouth hung open. And then Aurelien fussed. “What’s the matter, love? Are you hungry?” She adjusted her top, and Aurelien latched on and began to feed. Now back to this idea of his. “You want another child?”

“Only if you do, of course, my pretty wife.” He’s buttering me up.

“You know I love you with all my heart, don’t you?” Agnes said, treading carefully. “And I would do anything for you, love. But that is not how having a child works.”

“Nay, having a child works with you and I fu—"

Agnes silenced him with an exasperated look. “Estinien!!! That’s…not what I mean and you know it! It’s about love and welcoming a new soul into the world and being so happy to have another little love in our family. And as much as I love having sex with you, the pushing out of very large baby Varlineaus is not exactly the most fun I’ve ever had. You try pushing out a person weighing more than ten ponze eight times!” Well over ten ponze each. Some far more than ten ponze. Sylvaine was nearly thirteen. And two sets of twins. Good gods.

“And am I not with you every moment? Holding your hand? Watching each time as another of our children enters the world?” Estinien said with a grin. “Agi, just think about it. A little tiny lance for a little tiny child. How…cute would that be.” He winked on ‘cute.’

Oh. No, it would be so cute. Just so damn cute. Oh fuck. She felt that Aurelien was done with his feeding and decided now would be a good time for Estinien to help out some. “Love, can you burp Aurelien?”

Estinien took his youngest, laying him gently against his shoulder and patting his back. “That’s a good lad. Do a nice big burp for mummy.” He glanced at Agnes. “A teeny tiny lance.”

“Alright! Alright! I acknowledge that it’s so very cute, and yes, I’d like to see it. However, I have one condition. And don’t you dare be smug without hearing it or I shall be cross.” That’s a lie---I can never be cross at him. Not ever.

Estinien barked a laugh, still patting his baby son’s back. “Well, let’s hear it!”

“We can have another baby, but if this next little one has zero interest in the lance…” Agnes smirked. “Then you’re having the tenth.”

“I-I beg your pardon, woman! How am I supposed to do that?!”

Agnes crossed her arms. “Ask Vrtra. Ask Tiamat. Ask any of them since dragons don’t have reproductive mates.”

“I am not a bloody dragon, Agi! I don’t lay eggs!”

She wrinkled her nose and giggled. “Then I guess we’re stopping at nine.”

Finally, Aurelien let out a small burp. Estinien kissed his head and held him to his chest. “Fine, fine, fine. Nine it is.” He stared down at Aurelien. “You’re going to be a big brother.”

Agnes sighed and lightly rubbed Aurelien’s chubby cheek. “I’ll not lie---I do want another child. I just don’t want it to be because you’re afraid of losing your dragoon legacy or some such. I want it to be because we love our family and want it to grow one more time.” I love them all so much. Each one is special and full of promise. And I love dressing them up in the cutest clothes from Auntie Tataru!

He leaned his head against Agnes’. “You don’t think I feel the same way?” Estinien asked, rubbing Aurelien’s back. “I never thought I’d live long enough to have a family of my own, let alone get married. And then you came into my life, my angel. You showed me the possibilities are endless. I love each of them, and I cannot wait to see what they will do when they’re older.” He paused. “Though, a part of me worries for Hamignant in Ishgard.”

“Oh?”

“Ishgard, under Aymeric’s leadership, is a much more open place than it was before. However, there’s still a current of…not hatred, more like distaste, for halfling children. Once they see Hamignant’s ears they will know.”

Agnes pondered thoughtfully. “And then he’ll punch them in the face once he’s called something. Or worse yet,” Agnes laughed. “if someone says something about me. But I honestly think that’s not likely to happen---two heroes of Ishgard.”

Estinien snorted. “One hero of Ishgard and one Azure Dragoon who just happened to be there.”

Agnes kissed his cheek once more. “You are a hero, love. You saved your people from a worse fate.”

“Aye,” Estinien smiled fondly at her. “but you saved me. Tis something I will be forever grateful for.” He kissed his youngest’s head and breathed in his scent. “And you gave me the most wonderful gifts I could ever ask for---Esme, Hamignant, Marcelin, Philipine, Laurent, Celestine, Sylvaine, Aurelien, and…one more.”

“One more and that’s it, love!” Agnes got up from the bench and reached for Aurelien. “Come on, my handsome dragon. Let’s see what my mum is up to!” She beamed at Aurelien when she took him back, and he cooed at his mother. You are so sweet, my little baby boy. Six boys. Two girls. Maybe the gods will bless me another girl.

Her ass was then suddenly pinched, bringing out of her thoughts.

“Estinien!” Agnes laughed. “My ass does not exist solely for you to pinch it!”

“Oh? It doesn’t?” He teased, pinching again. “I fear I cannot resist.”

5 Years Later

Maeva Varlineau at four was a precocious red-haired girl who loved watching her father practice with his lance. Her eyes were filled with wonder as he jumped, as he summoned Nidhogg’s strength as his own to perform feats, as he did nearly anything with it. Agnes dubbed Maeva “her father’s little shadow” though she looked little like her elezen father, with the exception of her ears.

Today though was the first day Maeva would hold her own lance.

Estinien knelt before his youngest, beaming with pride. “All right, Maeva. Just hold it for now. Try not to drop it.” He handed her a small wooden lance, clearly meant for a child.

Maeva’s eyes bulged. “It’s nice! Bapa, show me what you do!” Maeva jumped happily, Estinien noticing that she was not dropping the lance at all, despite her excitement.

He got up and fluffed her hair, laughing softly. “One moment, little one.” Estinien retrieved Nihdogg and began to do some drills against the dummy.

Maeva watched, enraptured and tried to emulate him.

Agnes watched from the same bench where she and Estinien had their conversation five years earlier. So much as changed since then. Maeva’s birth was the most traumatic out of the nine---and both of us nearly didn’t make it. Esme is in Gridania. Hamignant is in Ishgard. Marcelin wants to join the Arcanist’s Guild and leave next year. Laurent is in Sharlayan with Alphinaud and his family. At least Philipine, Celestine, Sylvaine, Aurelien, and Maeva will be here for longer.

“Mummy, look! I’m doing like Bapa!” Maeva shouted while attempting a thrust with the tiny lance. “Look!”

Agnes clapped and smiled. “Very good, my littlest love! You’re doing so well!”

Maeva continued to do little thrusts with her lance, while Estinien walked over to Agnes. He held her close and placed a gentle kiss on her head. “Thank you, my angel.”

Agnes scrunched her nose and looked up at him. “For what, love?”

“For her. With our youngest, our family is complete. I cannot ever thank you enough for her. For all of them.”

I thought you mad at the time, and now I realize you were right---our brood of nine has made us complete. “And she appears to want to take up the lance.” Agnes winked at her husband.

“Only took nine tries!” Estinien teased. “Maeva, come here and show mummy your lance!”

“I want to see too!” Aurelien shouted, running towards his parents and younger sister, with Philipine, Celestine, and Sylvain right behind with Luci.

“Mummy, that’s a tiny lance!” Sylvaine said. “It’s perfect for Maeva!”

‘Yes, it is, Sylvaine! Master Beatin crafted it in Gridania for Maeva. I’ll have to send him a nice letter, and you all could sign it! I bet he’d be thrilled.”

A chorus of “yes mummy” rang out as Agnes shared a look of pure adoration with her husband.

This is our life. Our family. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

How would the DA:I companions react to Inquisitor in a relationship with Cole?? (He is my sweetest baby)

Mod Sumi here~. I didn’t add a Cole react since he is in part a subject of this reaction.

Cassandra: “I suspected as much,” she admits. It was easy to see a change in the Inquisitor after spending so much time traveling around Thedas together. The change especially showed whenever they were around Cole so it wasn’t difficult to put two and two together.

Iron Bull: “Boss as long as you and the kid are happy then fuck what everyone else thinks.” He has to stifle a chuckle when the Inquisitor first comes out about the relationship. Bull honestly didn’t think the kid had it in him. Especially after what happened with Candy.

Solas: “This is unexpected, Inquisitor.” He feels Cole’s growth as a spirit is truly lost on him now. He is becoming more human every day. The Inquisitor is the cause of this, but Solas holds no ill will towards Cole or the Inquisitor. Perhaps it is best they found each other given what is to come.

Dorian: “Well I wish the both of you the best and if anyone should even so much as turn their nose up towards you, Inquisitor please let me know,” Dorian says in his usual smooth, charming tone. “I may have more finesse and tact than Cassandra, but I am not above breaking someone’s nose if they insult my dear friends.”

Vivienne: “Darling you and the boy are hardly subtle. I’d be surprised if half of Thedas doesn’t know by now.” She disapproved of the union, but doesn’t say as much. The Inquisitor deserves happiness… even if it is with the demon Cole. Should anyone express a negative opinion about the pair, they will be answering to Vivienne.

Varric: “Oh Inquisitor this truly is a romance story in the making!” Varric exclaims with a grin. Even as an author with an amazing imagination, he never could’ve imagined up the Inquisitor and the kid ending up together. It truly would make a good story. Varric can bet the Seeker would be first in line to buy it too.

Blackwall: He almost wants to ask how it works, but the Inquisitor is their respected leader. It wouldn’t be right to ask such a question. Blackwall would be damned though if his mind didn’t go there given what he knows about Cole.

Sera: “You and that weirdy are together?! “ Sera screeches, her nose scrunching on confusion. When she sees the look of hurt flash appear across the Inquisitor’s face, Sera relaxes. “Sorry Inky. If you two are happy then so am I. Just don’t tell me any details, yeah?”

rules: choose a song title for each letter of your url!

Tagged by @little-lady-mimi :3 thank you though Accord to my url i got pretty tough word XD

W- Who Says by Selena Gomez

Who says, who says you're not perfect? Who says you're not worth it? Who says you're the only one that's hurtin'? Trust me, that's the price of beauty Who says you're not pretty? Who says you're not beautiful? Who says?- "

I – I miss you by Darren Hayes

Give me a reason Why I'm feeling so blue Every time I close my eyes All I see is you Give me a reason Why I can't feel my heart Every time you leave my side I just fall apart And when you're fast asleep I wonder where you go Can you tell me I want to know

Because I miss you And this is all I want to say I guess I miss you beautiful These three words have said it all You know I miss you I think about you when you're gone I guess I miss you Nothing's wrong I don't mean to carry on

Z - Zing Song "Ending Song” [HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA]

I thought I found a love but she was just a fling And then I met a girl and felt a different thing It's like you're hit in the ring Like you're pulled by a string Can't breathe like you're choking on a chicken wing It was a thing called a Zing and I wanted to sing

A – All Night Long by Stevie Hoang

Babe do what you came to do You know there ain't nothing to lose Don't think about it Just relax your mind Been working hard from 9 to 5 And now it's time to make it right Let's get a groove on And party all night And if you're feelin' naughty You can grab somebody Just let the music take control Don't be acting shady Don't you mind some ladies Now here's your moment That playing your song Just make your way onto the dance floor Babe let yourself go Cause we came a party All night long Now we're here to have a good time Leave the troubles behind Cause we gonna party All night long

R - Right Here Waiting by Richard Marx

Oceans apart day after day And I slowly go insane I hear your voice on the line But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never How can we say forever

Wherever you go Whatever you do I will be right here waiting for you Whatever it takes Or how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you

D – Despacito XD original one

E – Escape by Enrique Iglesias

You can run you can hide But you can't escape my love You can run you can hide But you can't escape my love

Here's how it goes You and me Up and down But maybe this time We'll get it right Worth the fight 'Cause love isn't something you can shake

S – Sorry by Justin Bieber

You gotta go and get angry at all of my honesty You know I try but I don't do too well with apologies I hope I don't run out of time, could someone call a referee? Cause I just need one more shot at forgiveness I know you know that I made those mistakes maybe once or twice By once or twice I mean maybe a couple a hundred times So let me, oh let me redeem, oh redeem, oh myself tonight Cause I just need one more shot at second chances

Yeah, is it too late now to say sorry? Cause I'm missing more than just your body Is it too late now to say sorry? Yeah I know that I let you down Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

S – Sorry by Super junior

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry naega naega naega meonjeo nege nege nege bbajyeo bbajyeo bbajyeo beoryeo baby Shawty, Shawty, Shawty, Shawty nuni busyeo busyeo busyeo sumi makhyeo makhyeo makhyeo naega michyeo michyeo baby

L – Love Story by Taylor swift

We were both young when I first saw you. I close my eyes and the flashback starts: I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air. See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns. See you make your way through the crowd And say, "Hello." Little did I know... That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles, And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet." And I was crying on the staircase Begging you, "Please don't go." And I said... Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess, It's a love story, baby, just say "Yes".

O – One more Night by Jordan Knight

Let's go Tossin' and turnin' Losin' hours everyday I keep yearnin' For a love that went away 'Cause I can't fall asleep without you And I can dream no dream without you And it's a nightmare just to lay awake

I need one more night (one more night) One more night And in the morning if you don't love me darling I won't fight Just give me one more night(one more night) To make it right And in the morning if you don't love me darling I won't fight

Give me one more night To prove my love

V - Vanilla Sky by Paul McCartney

E - Elastic Heart by Sia

R - Right Here, Right Now by Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens

Hmm yea Hey Yea

Can You imagine? What would happen? If we could have any dream Id wish this moment Was ours to own it And that it would never leave Then i would thank that star That made our wish come true (come true) oh yeah Cause he knows that Where you are is where I should be too

Right here, Right now I'm looking at you and My Heart love the view Cause you mean everything

Right Here, I'll promise you Somehow that tomorrow Can wait for some other Day to be (to be)

Results for The Eleventh Hour under the cut.

Match #1: Singles Contest Missile Assault Man (1 point) vs. the Proletariat Boar of Moldova

Hard-hitting opener, from the looks. MAM put away the Boar for his second point with a Sharpshooter in 9 minutes.

WINNER: Missile Assault Man (2 points)

Match #2: Singles Contest Silver Ant (1 point) vs. Frightmare

Our old friend Jon Barber is still as inept a referee as we all remember from not too long ago. Frightmare pulled shenanigans by knocking over Barber, then removing his own mask and throwing it at Silver, causing a DQ when Barber recovered enough to notice what Silver was holding. (Oh look, more point rule abuse on Quack's watch that he's going to do absolutely nothing about.)

WINNER: Frightmare (1 point), Silver Ant is out of the standings

Match #3: Singles Contest Grand Championship Defense #1 Juan Francisco de Coronado (champion) vs. Oleg the Usurper

As pointed out on Twitter, this is Oleg's third shot at the Grand Championship. It's becoming sort of a rite of passage to face him at some point. Anyways, this one sounded really good, lots of back and forth between the two, as well as JFDC's usual shenanigans (a wrench, which was promptly confiscated by Bryce Remsburg). Kobald hit the ring and pretty much forced Oleg to hit him by taking an Off With His Head for JFDC. (No word if he's been fixed yet.) After 22 minutes, Oleg finally tapped, as JFDC turned the Coronado Clutch into a leg lace.

WINNER: Juan Francisco de Coronado, Oleg the Usurper is out of the standings

Match #4: THE INFINITE GAUNTLET 88 second intervals, 33 competitors, 1 Golden Opportunity up for grabs. Existing points are not at stake.

Order of Entry

#1: Officer Bruno Meloni #2: Ice Cream Junior #3: Razerhawk #4: Delmi Exo #5: Race Jaxon #6: Jaciel Cordoba #7: UltraMantis Black #8: Sloan Caprice #9: Mark Angelosetti #10: Sonny DeFarge #11: Sylverhawk #12: Icarus #13: Sumie Sakai #14: Rick Roland #15: Dasher Hatfield #16: Jessica Troy #17: Merlok #18: Hermit Crab #19: Cornelius Crummels #20: Obariyon #21: Donald Kluger #22: Dr. Rod Diamondfire #23: Mick Moretti #24: Lucas Calhoun #25: Cajun Crawdad #26: Ashley Vox #27: Rory Gulak #28: Officer Warren Barksdale #29: Ophidian #30: Jeremy Leary #31: Solo Darling #32: Hallowicked #33: The Whisper

Order of Elimination #1: Meloni, by UltraMantis #2: Razerhawk, by UltraMantis #3: Delmi Exo, by Junior #4: Junior, by UltraMantis #5: UltraMantis, by Jaxon #6: Jaxon, by Cordoba (w/assist from Hype Rockwell? Guess his ghost still haunts the place, time to call an exorcist!) #7: Cordoba, by Caprice w/assist from Juan Francisco de Coronado and some baby powder (Maybe JFDC's adopting the Closers?) #8: Roland, by Caprice (once again, one eliminates the other accidentally!) #9: Caprice, by Dasher w/assist from Angelosetti #10: Sakai, by Merlok #11: Diamondfire, by Troy w/assist from Crummels and DeFarge #12: Hatfield, by Crab and Crawdad #13: Merlok, by Icarus and Obariyon #14: Moretti, by Kluger #15: Crummels, by Crawdad #16: Kluger, by Crab and Crawdad #17: Troy, by Crab and Crawdad #18: Crawdad, by Icarus #19: Crab, by Icarus #20: Icarus, by Calhoun #21: Obariyon, by Hallowicked #22: Leary, by Calhoun #23: Calhoun, by Calhoun (Yup, sacrificed himself to take Leary out) #24: DeFarge, by Angelosetti #25: Vox, by Hallowicked #26: Ophidian, by Whisper #27: Barksdale, by Sylverhawk #28: Gulak, by Sylverhawk #29: Sylverhawk, by Whisper #30: Angelosetti, by Whisper #31: Hallowicked, by Whisper #32: Whisper, by Darling

WINNER: Solo Darling
