I’ve been trying to draw the whole cast with tattoos, but Hiroki’s the only sketch I’m happy with so far.  The tattoo behind her ear is a triskelion, which has been around for a long time and is used in a lot of different cultures, but it often a symbol of death and rebirth.

Repentance

I’ve decided to write a poem for the last day of Bokura no Kiseki week! It’s definitely not the best thing I wrote, but I really wanted to post something for the last day too! Even so, I hope you enjoy it.

If I could go back in time,


Back to that one moment to rewrite, 


To repair the regrets I left behind. 

I left you without saying goodbye,


Without saying that I loved you.


I want you to know that deep within my heart,


Deep within my soul, I never forgot. 

Never stopped thinking about you,


About the times were we laughed,


We protected each other from the pain,


The suffering that the war brought upon us. 

Upon this world that we abandoned, 

We shut out the one thing, 

One thing that could have given us salvation, 

Given us a reason to survive.

bokuseki week - day 6: betrayal

rejecting the prince you’ve been allied to your whole life was a lot easier before you actually got to know him

Bokura no Kiseki Week Day 6: Betrayal

“Then abide by your fate and die, Lucas. The same way everyone else and the princess has.” - Carlo

bokuseki week - day 5: farewells

goodbye, and we’ll never meet again. that’s just the feeling i get.

I’m one day late because I forgot but… here’s my (short) entry for day 4 of the BokuKise week - Longing

A normal life, how nice that sounds.

No suffering except exams, no pain but maybe from having to bid farewell to a friend for a long time. With or without reincarnation, everyone would get along. His only worry would be that Hiroki and the others would try to make him wear pretty dresses, he was a princess after all. No regrets other than that he accidentily ordered a dish he didn’t like. Peaceful days, full of laughter because Nanaura was doing something stupid. Days filled with love as he’d take Haruko out on a date. He’d hang out with Kamioka everyday, eating candy with her. He’d laze around with Zeze because classes were so tiring and Ootomo would scold them because they didn’t take their studies seriously enough. He would be able to trust everyone because no one had any reason to lie to him over anything other than why they couldn’t hang out with him today. Because nothing bad had ever happened they would use the old language as code, laughing about teachers’ and other students’ puzzled faces. They’d go over to Zeze’s karaoke place for no other reason but to have fun and sing sing until their throats hurt. The only time they’d get wounded would be if they fell over the buck in sports class. There’d be no fear for his or another’s life. No tragedies, no refusing to accept, no hate, no betrayal, no death… Aah, what a wonderful life that would be.

“Minami! Minami, are you sleeping?!”

He opened his eyes, Hiroki’s face in front of him. He heard the background noise from the TV in the room that was supposed to be used for karaoke but actually only used for discussions. “Aah, sorry, sorry…", he held back a yawn. “Let’s get back to topic. They’re acting suspicious, but we can’t be sure yet that they’re planning something…” Minami felt like he had just seen a wonderful dream, but when he realized he couldn’t recall it at all he got a little sad.

A normal life, how nice that sounds…

Bokura no Kiseki Week Day 5: Farewells

“What would you do? If someone got badly injured and seemed like they were gonna die at any minute…? I’d use it for sure.” - Momoka

Never Alone

This is my entry for the fourth day of Bokura no Kiseki week. I hope you all like it! You can also find it on AO3 by clicking here. Please feel free to leave feedback in the comments or by sending me a message!

“Minami can’t eat with us. Princesses aren’t allowed to eat at the same table as commoners.” A boy in his class proclaimed, endowing him with the snickers of his classmates.

“He can’t play with us, what if the poor little princess gets hurt?” someone said, everyone erupting in laughter and leaving him behind on the steps of the school grounds.

Ever since he had told his peers about his past reincarnation as a princess, these types of occurrences and behavior had become the norm for him. He was used to being a laughing stock – or at least, that’s what he told himself. It’s okay, I don’t need friends, he repeated to himself so often that he simply started believing in that lie. However, the truth was that he longed for it more than anything else. He would often find his eyes wandering after those who had cast him out, playing nonchalantly among themselves and laughing without worries.

Bokura no Kiseki Week Day 3: Commitment

“I refuse! I will protect this castle!!” - Veronica

Bokura no Kiseki Week Day 2: Promises

“I promise… no I vow, that I will protect you whether it is in this life or the next.”

May We Meet Again

This is my entry for the first day of Bokura no Kiseki week. I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the way I wrote it, but I decided to post it. I hope you enjoy it! You can also find it on AO3 by clicking here. Please feel free to leave feedback in the comments or by sending me a message!

Ever since they had first met, there was something about Bart that caught Lilly’s attention. She wasn’t sure if it was his unlimited kindness or perhaps the smile plastered on his face that seemed to light even the darkest of rooms. Regardless of the reason, she knew that he deserved happiness. She’d be willing to give up anything for him – even if only to save him from the cruelest of fates.

“It’s going to be alright,” she exclaimed, not only to reassure him but also to convince herself. “I’m healing you right now…”

Despite her best efforts to save him, even healing magic could not defy the destiny that was bound to his soul. Bart was rapidly losing his strength and as the last of his breath drew close, he shut his eyes closed. She could not prevent the tears from strolling down her eyes as she reached down to lift his fragile body into her arms. His body was turning colder by the seconds, any lingering life that used to be within his vessel completely gone from this world.

bokuseki week - day 1: reunion

there’s nothing as great as meeting the one you loved in a past life and picking up right where you left off, right?

Bokura no Kiseki Week Day 1: Reunion

“What about you Ootomo? Don’t you want to see Veronica?”

Okay, so it might be complete crapola (as my sister would say) and I might have churned it out in just over an hour because I was very stuck for ideas but here is my Day One entry from Bokuseki Week: Reunion. Watch as I contort the story to fit the theme. (Also on AO3)

Isn’t that enough?

No one put much thought into the location. No one had really cared. It was the people there that counted, after all. So, the class that had once been trapped in a place between worlds, gathered in a pub probably too small to fit them all, five years after they had ceased to be class 1-4.

The pub was cramped, as expected, and had that sort of dinginess about it that only true pubs seemed able to pull off. Dark corners, sticky floors, warm yellow lights over the bar, the gentle sound of snooker balls colliding as a game went in an alcove, on a table with a torn felt surface, tucked out of the way.

Yuu had the feeling it would usually have been a quiet place, one where salarymen and divorcees could gather around a beer and forget about life for a while. A typical place where the bartender stands behind the bar, polishing the same glass all night because he’s either forgotten or just doesn’t care anymore what he’s there for. Still, it was close to the university and rather central all-around so that was where they had gathered.
