When one-day Loid and Yor already knew each other secret identity, and hide each others’ jobs from their superiors. But what if the Garden found out about Loid’s true identity? (AO3)
——————–
Yor closed the window behind her as she slipped out to the balcony after a barely successful cleaning. She started to jump to the nearest rooftops, heading to her own apartment.
Arriving at one rooftop, suddenly her movement stopped.
She had headed in the wrong direction.
What is wrong with me today?
She kept making mistakes after mistakes.
In her day job.
In her secret job.
The woman sighed and took a seat at the edge of the rooftops, viewing the scenery far ahead.
Darkened sky with only a hint of orange-red from the last of the sunset rays. She could see the stars start to shine brightly, scattered in the purple clear sky.
Looking down, she could see the lights from the apartment window come to life.
It made her remember that for one time in her life, she did have a place that was warm to return to. A place where a daughter and the dog would always run around her, and a warm gentle greeting from her husband welcomed her home.
When the face of the blond man flashed in her mind, she smiled somberly.
Of all the people in the world
Why do you have to be the one that I thought could become the one to accompany me throughout my hardest days?
She shook her head.
Turns out all her wonderful memories had been built over lies. And like all lies, it wouldn’t last.
Her mind wandered to the hardest day of her life
.
“We need to break up,” she said, “I’m sorry, Loid, we can’t stay together.”
She could hear her own heart crack when seeing the broken face of her husband
“But, Yor, I thought….”
“They give me no choice……”
How naive of them to think that they could fool their superiors.
Lucky for her that the Garden acknowledged her hard work, thus she could offer a bargain. She let go of her ‘playing family” and worked extra hard for them, and they will leave her family alone.
Those gentle blue eyes hardened, and the man nodded stiffly, “I brought you into this mess. I promise you, I’ll find a way.”
“I trust you, Loid. But for now…. I’m sorry…”
.
The red-eyed assassins wiped several stray tears away and took a deep breath.
When she stood up, her eyes suddenly wandered to the shopping area below, and a familiar person was seen walking away from Ghillie Dhu beauty salon.
Her heart ached.
Her feet were reluctant to move
She missed him.
A lot.
His gentle voice, his soft blue eyes, his handsome face.
So close, yet so far away.
Suddenly the man looked up in her direction and tipped his hat.
Yor gulped down the lump in her throat, even though the corner of her lips tugged upward a little when she returned the gesture.
She hardened her resolve.
I don’t need to live at peace. I don’t care if I have to bloody my hands. As long as they’re happy and safe, I know Loid would understand.
She then turned on her heels and continued her journey.

“Faith led us to each other
But not for a happy end”
Greatly inspired by the lyric of this song: “Akhir tak Bahagia (unhappy end)” by Misellia
The Ship Arc is finally concluded and it's all smooth sailing from here, heh. *Reunited and it feels so good* The family is back together for the end and it was everything you could ever want and more, thank you Endo.
Apparently, the ship landed on a magical island, because it turned all of our favorite father-daughter duo into animals the minute they step onto the island. #bunnyloid #aviananya
Funny animal shenanigans get halted, by the appearance of the one and only thor- Yor Forger. The family reunited at last (after it being almost a whole year since they were all together) it's time for a family island adventure *cue summer montage music*
Forger's invented a new game to play at the beach, called Catch the Torpedo. Yor propels the Anya torpedo, and Loid is the catcher. A family game filled with adrenaline.
After a day full of excitement, the island claims its last two energy-exhuasted victims and it's up to the lone Loid Forger to bring back his family to the ship. And the chapter ends the Forger Island adventure, and the family is back in Berlint and reunited with Bond and Frankie. Nothing like paying your dogsitter with some souvineirs.
As Twilight gives his report, Handler Sylvia wonders if the blonde soft-eyed spy is up to the task of the mission. But, did Anya have fun on the vacation? You tell me...
Questions:
What do you think will be the next chapter? Eden Academy? WISE Mission? Garden? Twiyor?
Will we see any of the characters from the cruise arc again?
Bonus:
Loid over here with his serious face, trying to be cool and nonchalant because he's trying to impress Yor, bwahah.
I'll just leave this here, thanks for reading, and until then,
Okay, just an addition to my previous screaming post.
I still can't believe that after 13 chapters, starting at chapter 44 back in March or April '21, we finally come to the end of Ooting arc: "the Cruise Great Adventure" as superhero Anya dubbed it.
That kid did the superhero landing!! 🤣🤣🤣 I can see Deadpool clapping and Yelena Belova rolling her eyes. LOL 🤣🤣
I still want another chapter to fully close this arc though, like how Yor's cooking lesson is the true closure of Inusan crisis arc. But we'll leave it to Endo. I think we'll return to school next.
And after writing this fic, as expected, Endo not only giving us Loid carrying his tired sleeping wife, but he gave us a whole family fluff arc, without fanservice. That's wholesome!
I mean, who would've thought that Yor getting slashed in her chest during fight, would lead to McMahon teasing her, and her choosing to use scuba clothes instead of swimming suit, in a beach / snorkling chapter.
It was so believable, that people will just nod along, and scream for true family fluff. The amazing way of Endo's story telling. Totally love it.
And the details. In scenery!!! Can we please appreciate the details in these scenery???
These are so beautiful I can't wait to see them in colors!! Honestly, this chapter will be so awesome in color! I can't wait!!!
And then we can see how Westalis best agent showing off his skills 🤣
Truly, does this man know how to relax at all??? No wonder Handler's comment at the end of this chapter was so spot on: he can only be overly competent, or completely idiot. Geezzz 🤣
Shoutout to soft Auntie Silvya here 😁😁 please let her be Anya's babysitter, and Yor's friend. Please, Endo!!! Gosh, I really love this woman.
Anyway unlike Twilight, Yor does seems have control over when she need to switch on her amazing Garden assassins persona, or turn it off and just be Yor Forger and enjoying her daily live.
It needs time for adaptation though 😅😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ah... the curse of having such awesome power.....
She hadn't fully recover from all the adrenaline rush. But even after all that, I love to see how Yor still acompanying Anya, and we have that mother daughter moments, until all energy leaves Yor and she collapsed. And we got our long overdue TwiYor moments (okay, stop screaming me!!)
*ahem*
Now for the plot....
Figures, the SSS would want to cover those missing people on board and the bombing case, at the same time, those assassins would of course cover their tracks and use faux identity.
The mention of Ostanian extrimist and the third country, is very interesting though. Sxf world is still very vast.
After awesome Yor's character development in this arc, I can't wait to see how Endo incorporate this into future plot.
The first long arc is a success, IMO. I can't wait to read more!
