Tucked away tight in the cramp space of the Court of Fontaine sits a quaint bookshop, hidden down an alleyway between much larger, bustling stores filled to the brink with odd trinkets and gadgets. As you enter, you push the door open slowly, a little hesitant at what may wait for you inside; after all, Fontaine had been nothing but a box of surprises since you'd arrived.

Yet you are greeted with the mildly sweet aroma of herbal teas and the nostalgic scent of yellowed pages belonging to books older than you could ever imagine. A small, round glass table sits in the middle of the bookshop underneath a skylight window. Sunlight reflects onto the patterned glass table in ripples, creating an effect on the marble floor that reminds you of the waves. As you ponder it, it's an oddly fitting aesthetic for the Nation of Hydro.

Two young women sit at the table, their legs crossed neatly as quietly converse amongst themselves over slices of numerous cakes and sweet treats, sat on small porcelain plates and the culprit of that alluring smell of hot tea - two light blue stained teacups of tea in their gloved hands. The small bell that hangs above the entry door finally chimes as you push the door completely open, alerting the women of the new arrival.

"Oh, you're finally here," one of them muses, lifting her teacup and saucer in her gloved hands as she moves to take a sip of the hot drink, quenching her presumed thirst, "bienvenue, we've been expecting you."

A brief moment of confusion crosses your face and it doesn't go unnoticed by the other female, whose eyes sit two different shades of blue as they look over you. They'd been expecting you? You guess word travels fast regarding your whereabouts.

"Lynette, you can't just leave them hanging like that," she chirps, her tone slightly scolding before she gives you a faint smile, unique eyelashes fluttering over those eyes of hers, "you're already well acquainted with Miss Lynette's twin, he informed us of your curiosity about our little bookshop."

Lynette makes a subtle noise, her nose scrunching up as she takes a sip of her tea once again. Furina also sips her tea, the two women sitting in an awkward silence before Furina clears her throat, demanding the room's attention be on her.

"We should... explain this place a little further - this is Écrin de Littérature. We're a safe for work network for Hoyoverse creators, focusing on writing and artistic flare," the actress seems quite pleased with herself, plump lips turned upwards into another smile, "we accept those aged thirteen or over."

"Lady Furina-" Lynette begins, her tail curling neatly over her thighs as the young girl sighs but Furina cuts her off, a nervous laugh escaping her under her breath.

"Just Furina is fine, Lynette, please..." Her voice trails off, meek and there is the undeniable hue of light pink on her pale cheeks. The air filters into silence again, much more awkward than the first time as Furina fidgets in embarrassment.

"Furina," Lynette corrects herself, "we should tell them what is in it for them..."

Furina nods in agreement, her hand raised to her chin as she ponders her next move. Lynette is indeed correct and you find your attention drawn to the empty chair seated at the table between them. A teacup sits empty in the fine china saucer adjacent to it. Suddenly, Furina snaps her fingers as if she'd cracked a detective case.

The short woman raises to her feet, heeled boots clicking on the spotted marble floor as she approaches you. You tense, it's an honour to be this close to the leading director of 'The Little Oceanid,' after all. She stops promptly in front of you, a gloved hand extending out to offer you a collection of papers, "here, a collection of our finest reviews."

You take the papers, lowering your gaze as you begin to read over each individual review with care.

Upon finishing the wide range of questionable reviews, you give the two women a determined nod. The gesture makes their stoic faces light up, twinkles in their eyes that reflect in the sun that begins to set over the Court of Fontaine in a breath taking scene of oranges, reds and pinks. Lynette takes this moment to raise a clipboard as she stands - wait, where did she get that from? These magicians... - and wanders to you, "welcome to Écrin de Littérature."

WHAT IS LOVE?

ft. furina

synopsis: in which furina hopes that you like her the way she likes you.

tags: friends to lovers, confessions

if you asked furina "what is love?" there are one of two answers you'll get.

either a more philosophical take, a hushed or mumbled "I wonder.. can love truly be explained?" or; her usual go-to, "love is an intense feeling of deep affection." a phrase stolen from one of the many books in the opera epiclese, not that she'll admit it.

so, as you can see, furina isn't well acquainted with the concept of love. not that she hasn't been curious— of course she has! furina has participated and attended countless plays; musicals, movies and concerts with themes of love, both romantic and platonic.

but now, now that she's feeling it for the first time, furina thinks that she should've been warned about how hard the self-doubting aspect, or the constant regrets and hyper awareness of her shortcomings would hit her.

thoughts like "why did i do that?" and plenty of other variations keep appearing in her head, at this point, furina would rather stop having these feelings, it's messing with her mental health.

but would she? the feeling of love— it's changed the way she lives now. sure, she could just push the blaming-thoughts into the back of her mind, but you? no. she's always thinking of you now.

at first it started out as short mentions in her mind, things like "wasn't y/n talking about this the other day?" or a little "oh, y/n would like this." and then, slowly but surely, she thought about you when she started her day with no one but the morning birds as her witness, she keeps thinking about you in the dead of night, when it's high time that she go to bed.

not that she doesn't like that— even the thought of you brings her joy; looking back on memories of when the two of you first met, how awkward the air felt at the time, and how kind you were despite that.

you were but a neighbour who wanted to make her feel at home and well adjusted, and she was just the new resident who didn't have the energy to socialise at the time.

but the more times you met, the more times you struck up a conversation with her, the more times you invited her into the comfort of your home, the more times you helped her with meals, she only fell deeper in that pit called love.

the bond between you had strengthened, you weren't just the nosy next-door neighbour anymore, and she wasn't just the girl who had one too many bags of pasta— you are y/n, a person with just enough resilience to weasel your way into her life, and she is furina, someone who had finally reached the light at the end of the tunnel.

now, when furina looks into the mirror and asks herself "what is love?" motivated by whims alone, she already knows what her answer will be. y/n.

having these feelings is nice enough, I mean, it's alright..

..but, if she were actually with you, wouldn't these feelings be a whole lot more pleasant to have? knowing that her feelings were reciprocated would definitely help fill the hole in her heart when she realises that she doesn't know if you even see her that way.

do you also dream of the dates you too could have? do you also get flustered for a hot minute, when your hands make contact? do you look at the sun rising, thinking that this moment would be complete if she stood by you?

furina hopes that you like her the way she likes you.

but what good can hoping do? shouldn't she be taking action by now? yes, that's what she would be doing, except there's been something holding her back. that's right— doubts have crawled back into her mind right when things have been reaching its peak.

I mean, even if you do end up liking her, what if the relationship ends quicker than she'd like it to? if someone doesn't pay attention to the other, when someone prioritises something else over their partner, if someone ends up chasing the comfort of another person— all these things could happen, and furina knows that the heart break will feel all the same.

and those are the thoughts she has when she's being more positive— what if you don't like her? furina doesn't want to think about the expression that'd be on your face, she knows that it'll haunt her deepest dreams. if your friendship just ended right there and then just because she had the wrong idea, she wouldn't like that one bit.

furina isn't one to ask for help, she can get most things done herself, but reassurance is something that best comes from another person. which is why furina finally accepts an invitation to one of navia's tea parties.

"so, you're not sure if this person likes you? that's why you won't confess?" navia says in a matter-of-fact tone, however, a bit of humor sinks into her words.

furina nods, letting out a slight noise of agreement after a sip of her earl gray tea.

she speaks, but the chuckle she tried to hide slips out for a second, letting furina sit there, eyes lidded, she speaks out. "is my situation really that laughable navia?" she sits her cup sits on the table.

her hand waves in dissent, "no, no! i swear, i wasn't laughing at you— it's just," she pauses for a moment, thinking of the right words, perhaps? "my view on the whole, confessing your love, thing was that taking that risk of not knowing if the other loved you, is also a way to show your love?" furina tilts her head in confusion, this leads to navia once again trying to explain her point of view.

her hand reaches her chin in thought, "what I mean to say is, you should confess your love now rather than pulling a whole investigation— sure, you will be feeling doubts, but doesn't that happen for every other decision? if you wait, the pain of not knowing whether or not your feelings are reciprocated is sure to impact you, and doubts will only grow with time." it looks like navia is pretty happy with her explanation, furina on the other hand has an indescribable emotion painted on her face.

she almost yanks the tea cup off the table, taking one long sip before setting it down one last time. "I think I get what you're saying.., that doubts are things that people will always have." her thumb kneads into her fingers, "I'll confess." she almost whispers this— it's not everyday you get to see the furina de fontaine so quiet, navia guesses thats just the effect love has on people.

unfortunately for furina, navia has quite the ears, "well, good luck to you! let's hope for the best, hmm?" she crosses her legs, awaiting a response. furina thanks her, maybe she'll do this again sometime— the tea tasted quite delicious.

if you were to ask furina what love is, she says it's the feeling she gets when she eats a meal, knowing that you're beside her.

this has been one of the few times that she has invited you into her home, but sharing a meal with her has been nothing new— when she first became a resident in her now home, after you two had become acquainted, furina used to overestimate the amount of pasta to pour, to not waste this particular meal, she thought of giving you a bowl to serve as a thanks.

knocking on your door with both of her hands occupied proved difficult, she opted to juggle one plate in the corner of her arm, hoping that you'd open the door quick enough. once you did, eventually, open the door she shoved a bowl in your hand.

seconds later, furina found herself sitting at a table with you on the other side, enjoying a bowl of her pasta, day after day this quickly became a trend in your schedules.

today, the two of you once again participate in this newfound routine, sitting opposite of each other, though, something's a little different.. while you're having a go at the plate set in front of you, furina has her fork twirling the pasta around as she stares at you.

you notice.

the bits of food in your mouth are quickly swallowed— just slow enough to not cause a flurry of coughing, "aren't you going to eat?" you eye at her food, then at her.

"I— I am!" she sputters for just a bit, getting her act together these days proves troublesome.

your eyebrow raises, she's acting more different than usual. "well, I like what you whatever added to the sauce, it tastes sweet and spicy, nice combo." you move past this thought, maybe she's dealing with something.

"hm, of course you like it, did you not expect me to be extraordinary at cooking too? you've tasted my cooking, it shouldn't be surprising that you like this!"

soon after, an uncomfortable silence fills the room as the two of you poke at your respective plates of food— clearly nobody is paying attention to how it tastes.

you open your mouth— the stillness was too much to bear, dinners with furina are normally never this awkward!

though, it looks like furina beat you to the punch.

"there is a reason, as to why I've invited you here today." she keeps the usual loud tone, this time, with a little more meaning.

furina toys with her food a little more, her eyes? they're now focused on you.

she purses her lips, all the doubts keep coming back, bit by bit. but she's committed— furina told her self that she'd confess today. she will confess today.

"I..."

lengthy pauses are to be expected with furina, it's not everyday that she has to profess her love for someone, "I love you."

now that's definitely not what you expected.

she's quick to shush you, it looks like there's more to her unforeseen confession. "wait! hold on, before you say anything." her hands have long since left her plate, "I wanted to make sure you were comfortable before I said.. that. I'm not sure when this feeling started to appear, or if it was always with me, but I'll still cherish it nonetheless. please.. don't feel pressured to accept me or to answer me right now. just know that, I.. love you." furina's speech is far from perfect, too many pauses, way too vague, it really just felt like she word-vomited all her feelings out, but, nothing is perfect.

she isn't, you aren't, and neither is love.

let's ask her a question, what is love. well, furina would reply that yes, love is definitely a feeling, and that it can never be properly explained into words— too many things left out, new things always being added, if you asked her to compose an essay of all the things that she loves about you, she'd never be able to finish.

love is neverending, sure, it might dim, it might even transform into obsession, but that feeling you felt, the one where you had just discovered what it felt like, that memory will be engraved into your mind, your heart and soul.

so, when you tell her I love you as your reply, know that she's found an undescribable level of peace and love for you.

a/n; did you guys know that engeki and passion at 25 are being released on spotify after years of me crying to the connect live engeki kana-mafu touch. im. so. happy. oh yeah and as a result of that i finished the last few paragraphs with the connect live engeki finale, it was a 10/10 i freaking love you rui tanabe. ahgkgjgkk ik i probably butchered her character, i didn't mean to make her so meek but i also didn't want her to be so over the top,,, i still have a long way to go when writing characters accurately huh😭😭😭 i have mixed feelings with the navia-furina tea party bit, but i don't hate it..... my apologies to furina stans if i have disgraced her character 🙏

EYES LOCKED, HANDS LOCKED

ft. silver wolf

synopsis: how you and silver wolf became buddy-buddy, and the levels of intimacy you go through once you become closer.

warnings: pining, friends to ???, silver wolf can be annoying as shit, also I've never fallen in love so im winging it in the last section

i think at first, before you two even become "friends", she'd think you were annoying.

not because you are, but because she can't mess with you in the same way you do to her.

you know, it's hard to keep up with someone that has similar powers to you.., you're not on that pedestal anymore.

but at the same time it's quite refreshing to her, I mean, how often does she get whisked off her feet, how many times is she up against someone one step ahead of her? not often, that's for sure.

silver wolf is lying on a couch mindlessly scrolling through her phone when you form into the room with a handheld console, "walking" toward her with intent; this has become the norm for you two.

you wave the console around as a sort of greeting and get to the point, "hey, wolfie, i just found this pretty cool game, you should play!" you told her while sitting on the couch she laid on, once again waving the console in her direction. except only one word stuck out to her— wolfie. since when did you call her that? seriously, waaay too chummy for her liking. (no matter how many times she tries convincing herself otherwise, she doesn't actually mind the nickname all that much.)

your hologram shifted closer to her, probably out of habit, to, in your words, "really show her the game", forcing the console closer to her face while blabbering about how cool it'd be if she played it.

the stellaron hunter still had her mind on that nickname you called her, i mean, where did that come from? she extended her hand through the holographic console and shook it, hoping you'd get the gist of what she was trying to do.

you retract both your hand and console then looked at silver wolf, watching her as she speaks. "what did you call me?" huh? what's she on about? wait, does she mean that nickname? "i called you wolfie?" your words form into something similar to a question, not that you intended it to.

after this, she just stares at you. a lot of questions run through your head; does she want you to say something? is she thinking?

eventually words just flow out of your mouth. "were we not close enough to get to the "nickname stage" of a friendship? or do you not like nicknames? or was it—" she cuts you off and finally spoke after the minutes of torture she just gave you.

"hold on, nothing was wrong with it! i was just a little confused." the last few words felt like they were thrown in,

"confused?"

"mm, i didnt think we were all that close," it's almost like she could feel the discourse stirring up in your head, "but your cool to be around so i don't mind being close."

your hologram smiled, cheeks rising and all— it was nice to see. at least, that's what silver wolf would say.

she'd still argue that it's a bummer she couldn't see the real you like that, such a shame you don't use aether editing on your physical body.

now, you're a closer friend of hers. she doesn't usually do "friends", so cherish this title.

i think now she'll tease you way more.., just her way of showing you can get friendly with her

one of the many different ways she'll mess with you is by pinching your cheeks, at least when she sees you in your physical form (which isnt often...bummerx2)

another way is by changing the image-form on your hologram so you look ridiculous, you catch onto it early-on, so it's not as fun...

until she finds out that you can have quite the temper to people who ask silly questions, it seems like she's found another way to mess with you.

the two of you are at a store, somewhere in the slums of an unnamed planet, haggling with the owner for some definitely not legal, nor licensed, piece of tech.

"200k? for this piece of junk? no way!"

"if it were just a piece of junk you wouldn't be here in the first place! pay up or leave!"

"10k. take it or leave it."

"leave!!"

silver wolf grew more annoyed by the second. it seemed like this old head wouldn't budge, and it's not like she's paying 200k for something like that...

she might as well leave, this isn't getting anywhere.

"y/n, let's go." she turns to you— well, the space where she thought you'd be.

her eyes scan the room for you, she's not leaving this dump alone, lest she forget you on this planet and she never hears of you again. walking to the front of the store she finally finds you; staring at some piece of tech in your hand— one that looks quite similar to the one she attempted to haggle for.

her mouth stands agap for just a few seconds, "did you— no way.., I didn't think I'd be friends with a criminal." She starts to smile, her eyes lidded.

you gasped, "there you are! 'kay, take this." you take her arm and open her hand, placing the piece of tech on it. she looks up at you, wondering. "quick, make three copies." your request sounded more like a command.

"oh? and who are you to be demanding me? i expect proper payment y'know."

your body grew rigid, is this girl serious? a sigh escaped your mouth, a hand caressed your temple. "what would you like as compensation, o' great silver wolf?" the last few words dragging on.

she holds a finger to your chest and pokes it to the rhythm of her words, "i get to take a copy of your super-secret-coding!" she's smiling, but it's not a kind smile. the type of smile you feel would belong on a cheshire cat, one that can tell you for certain that she's having quite a lot of fun.

you stutter—sputter. "what!? no way!" that was your life's work, the foundation of the life that you had built, the reason you were so insusceptible to aether-attacks/basic hax. you'd be damned if you gave someone a copy just for some miniscule favour.

"seriously? damn." silver wolf looks to the sky, plentiful clouds of smoke. "is it really all that important?" she tries to play dumb for a moment, just to see the look of anger flash on your face. "yes! you of all people should know!"

she chuckles, and then it quickly evolves into laughter as you question her, trying to speak through the incoming giggles. though, the chatter quickly came to a close when you heard a certain old man yell,

"THIEVES! DIRTY, NASTY THIEVES!!"

the two of you shared a look, "let's go, now!" you whispered in hopes that he wouldn't quicken his pace. "c'mon, what's the worst an old man can do? we don't have to run." silver wolf spoke, "I would rather not get caught and handed to this planet's policers, we're running." your hand held hers as you ran, just borderline sprinting, hearing that shop owner squawk as he attempted to run outside, only to find the two of you running— or rather, you dragging silver wolf as you set the pace.

now, you're in your respective rooms, light years apart.

silver wolf laid on her bed, stretching as her console lay next to her, paused.

you, however, had just finished making 3 copies of the tech you had now stolen. one for you, one for silver wolf, one for the old man you robbed, and the original another for display purposes.

though, you contemplated giving silver wolf a copy, but your doubts quickly faded as you realised that she was just fucking with you.

you kick one of the boxes in your room out of anger, blaming silver wolf when you hear something shatter.

silver wolf sees something forming out of the corner of her eye— she expects it to be you, so imagine her surprise when it's a copy of the stolen tech accompanied with a sticky note.

can't come. fixing something. don't fuck with me next time we go somewhere, its not enjoyable.

the hacker lets out a quiet, quick snicker. when she first met you, you didn't have such attitudes, she thought you'd be the type to be strictly against such passive aggressiveness, let alone thievery. anywho, this is certainly enjoyable to her, so expect her to keep on messing with you (this time in moderation)

ahhh, you've finally gotten to the hurtful-and-hair-pulling-pining stage.

i can't say it'd be the most enjoyable, or the worst experience possible, but it definitely has it's own set of pros and cons.

but, what i can guarantee you is that the "self-isolation/purposely drifting away" trope won't work with silver wolf.

i mean, you're a good friend to her now. she'd know if you tried to end everything, she's not stupid.

falling in love with silver wolf had to be the most.. unique experience you'd been through. i mean, it's not like you planned for this to happen— it's not often you're hit with such feelings without some sort of insight.

it's pleasant at times, when you go to sleep and start thinking of the one you love rather than the embarrassing things you've done years ago. it helps sometimes, when you're in bed having one of those days where you don't want to do anything— even the thought of her is just enough for you to get up.

but other times? quite the nuisance.

one time, when your hologram appeared in silver wolf's room, the door was left wide open, and you had locked eyes with a tall lady with an eerie look on her face. "oh? and who are you? wolfies friend? or her enemy? you can't just be a stranger to show up in her room." you opened your mouth to explain, but it seems like she's come to her own conclusion. "ah!— are you her partner? maybe a hook-up mad at her.." you stood, trying to explain that no, you weren't her enemy, and no you weren't a hook-up, and definitely not a partner! though she kept playing into the partner thing, insisting that you had to be her s/o.

"you suuure you're not her lover? I mean..."

"yes! I'm sure!"

this kept on going for a while until silver wolf came along, finding kafka standing in front of her room, teasing someone inside. "kafka, are you bullying a ghost?" kafka smiles, "no, I'm talking to your partner." huh? partner? I don't think I'm with anyone ri— she looks past kafka and into the room, only to find you. "y/n?" she questions how this situation even happened, but unfortunately she has no one but kafka to ask, for as soon as you two locked eyes, you disconnected.

your feelings on the topic of having a crush are; "this is such an inconvenience!" and "ah, how enjoyable this is. I hope everybody has these feelings atleast once in their life.", however, they change quickly. similar to the swinging of a pendulum.

but, there was one thing you've pushed far into the back of your head, will these feelings ever be reciprocated?

it's a known fact that silver wolf thinks of this life as a game, but does that stretch to relationships? does she think you're a game? as soon as this thought crossed your mind you couldn't stop thinking. what if you were just some sort of side quest to her— or even worse- an NPC.

everything was so much and so little at the same time,

a hand snuck around you as she took a photo, she muttered a quick "cheese" before the lights flashed. is it pathetic you still think about how she held you? the feeling of her hand— of her. at the time you felt so much for her, but now? you yearn for more.

would it kill her to do that again? you wanna take selfies with her all the time, to savour her expressions, even though they're rather limited that's never stopped you from loving each as their own.

you kept on thinking about the stupid things you wanted to do with her, you wanted to see her with her hair down, you wanted to hug her— a real hug, not those dreadful side hugs. a tight hug, one full of love. your thoughts ended as you were met with the ringing of your phone, you jolted up, not expecting silver wolf to speak in such a pained tone.

"where have you been?" she practically whispers into the speaker, "I've.." is rotting in bed at home an acceptable excuse? you shouldn't have picked up— it's not like you even expected her to call you, at most you thought it'd be some package confirmation. "home."

this conversation isn't going anywhere... that's good, right? you want to distance yourself from her— maybe you should just let her hate you.

silver wolf very obviously sighs into the speaker, disappointment was in the air. "y/n, cut the crap and tell me why you're running away from me."

"running away? what do you mean?" play dumb, play dumb....

"quit playing dumb! just tell me— I'm not a fan of these psychological games y'know."

just tell her? how easy does she think this is— how easy does she think having these feelings are? but, isn't it more painful to keep this bottled up? to make her hate you?. "reme—remember when you said life's just one big game to you?" your words quiver, something you wish didn't happen.

"hm? what's that gotta do with this?" quick to get to the point, just as ever. "what am I to you then?"

your words linger for quite a while until silver wolf finally racks up a reply;

"player 2, obviously."

EXTRA:

"didn't expect you to be so corny, 'o great silver wolf."

"shut up. not funny."
