Spa Night

Summary: You and Max are having a spa night sleepover, and Eddie joins you 💚

Word count: ~1k

A/N: I love the trend/trope of Eddie getting locked out of his trailer, so I decided to turn up the fluff! This can be read as a platonic or romantic relationship with Eddie 🤗 Enjoy!!!

“Now apply the mask generously to the face, making sure to avoid the eye and mouth area.”

Max was sitting on your bathroom vanity as you two applied bright green face masks. Since you two were neighbors, you often hung out, and you all decided to spend tonight having a classic sleepover. Max was like the little sister you always wanted, and when you first moved to Hawkins, you two became inseparable.

“How do I look?” Max asked you, giggling with the mask in the shape of a beard and mustache.

“Most distinguished,” you said, mask around your eyes like glasses.

“So, what’s the goal with this mask?”

“I think it’s to brighten your skin. Who knows. Why, do you want to look all shiny and beautiful for your date with Lucas tomorrow?” you teased.

“Stop it,” she smiled, then you both heard a knock.

“Do you think that’s the pizza?” she asked.

“It’s a little early,” you said. “It’s only 6:30. Let me go check.”

“Okay, don’t scare the delivery person!”

“I’ll try not to,” you laughed, adjusting your headband to keep your hair out of your face.

When you opened the door, you were surprised to see Eddie standing there instead of a stack of pizzas. He looked tired and a little down-in-the-dumps, but when he saw your bright green face, fuzzy purple headband, and Care Bear pajamas, he burst out laughing.

“You’re not pizza,” you groaned.

“And you’re not Y/N!” he laughed, then grabbed your shoulders, shaking you. “What have you done with Y/N, E.T.?”

“E.T. isn’t even green,” you sassed him. “What’s up, though?”

“I got locked out of my trailer, and my uncle won’t be home for a couple hours. Can I stay with you please?”

“What’s taking the pizza guy so long?” Max called as she stepped out, freezing when she saw Eddie.

“There’s two of them!” Eddie fake-screamed.

“He’s locked out,” you told Max, rolling your eyes at Eddie. “Should we let him join?” you asked her playfully. In reality, you’d never reject Eddie.

“Hmm,” she said, tapping a green finger to her face. “Alright, but you have to put a mask on too!”

“This green muck?” he asked, staring at your faces. You nodded excitedly as you grabbed his hand, pulling him into your trailer and to the bathroom.

“First, we need to put your hair in a headband so we don’t get any muck in it,” you said, grabbing a lime green headband and matching scrunchie and holding it out to him.

“Can you do it please?” Eddie asked. “If you’re going to force me to do this stuff, I might as well be pampered.”

You sighed as you slipped the headband over his head and pushed his hair out of the way.

“Aw, you’re so pretty, Eddie,” Max cooed.

“Thank you, I know,” Eddie replied, posing for her. You then tied his hair into a ponytail with the scrunchie.

“I’m guessing you want me to put the mask on too?” you asked.

“Yes please,” he said, closing his eyes and pointing his face toward you.

“Okay, it might be cold,” you said as you put some on his nose. Soon enough, his whole face was covered, and the three of you looked at yourselves in the mirror.

“We’re hot,” you said, making the others laugh.

💚

“Okay, Eddie,” Max said, mask cracked and a mouth full of pizza. “According to Tiger Beat, your teen heartthrob match is Rob Lowe, Y/N, yours is Patrick Swayze, and mine is Val Kilmer!”

“Ooo!” Eddie fake-squealed.

“Hey, they’re cute!” you argued.

“So, what’re we gonna do next?” Max asked, closing the magazine.

“We could watch a movie, do our nails, prank call people,” you suggested.

“Let’s watch a movie,” she said. “But first, I’m going to rinse my face!”

As Max rinsed her face in the bathroom, you and Eddie cleaned up some pizza boxes. Your faces were clean, but Eddie still had his scrunchie and headband on. You smiled as you looked at him, making him eye you suspiciously.

“What is it?” he asked.

“You just look so… limey,” you giggled, making him hit you playfully with a pillow.

“You look like a grape,” he said, pointing to your purple hair set. “Speaking of, do you have any grape soda?”

“Yeah, but I also bought some root beer and ice cream for floats, so don’t fill up on grape soda!” you scolded.

“Yes ma’am!” he said, saluting you.

“Movie’s all ready!” Max called from the couch.

As you all joined Max, she opened a big blanket and spread it across your legs. As the night went on, you ended up leaning on each other, you on Eddie and Max on you, all eating root beer floats and laughing at the movie. When it ended, Eddie peeked out the window to see that Wayne was finally home.

“Girls, it has been lovely, but I think that’s my cue,” he said, pointing to his now-unlocked trailer. “Thank you for letting me crash your sleepover for a bit,” he smiled, holding his arms out.

“Of course, thanks for being a good sport,” you smiled, hugging him and giving him a small kiss on the cheek. “Feel free to come over any time for another spa night.”

“For sure, it was fun,” Max smiled, then joined your hug.

“You know, Munson, you’re not all that bad,” she smirked, looking up at him.

“You either, Mayfield,” he smirked back. “L/N’s got some work, but we love her anyway.”

“We sure do.”

“I love you weirdos, too.”

💚

Eddie regretfully walked back to his trailer, but was happy to see Wayne at the table, eating some cereal and reading the newspaper.

“Where’ve you been?” he asked Eddie.

“I was at Y/N’s,” he explained. “I got locked out, so I crashed there for a bit.”

“I see,” Wayne smiled as Eddie walked to the bathroom. Once he thought Eddie was out of earshot, Wayne chuckled to himself.

“I guess she forgot about that spare key I gave her a week ago.”

Gourmand Fragrance / Wagashi Revolution - 4

(Unproofread)

Prev | Chapter List | Next

Nazuna: Keito-chin, what are you getting? I think I'll have that limited time chocolate strawberry drink after all!

Nazuna: Ah, and also... I'll have this chocolate parfait!

Nazuna: Since we came here to do research, we ought to eat as much as we can, right? ♪

Keito: You don't actually care about our goal. You just wanted to eat a parfait, didn’t you? Nito.

Nazuna: Th- Th-That's not what it is! More importantly, what are you going to get, Keito-chin?

Keito: Hm. I'll take the chocolate cake.

Nazuna: ... That's all? Don't you want any of the other delicious looking treats?

Keito: You aren't plotting to sneak a bite of mine, are you?

Nazuna: N-No, that isn't why!

Nazuna: ...... Well, it might be?

Keito: ... I see. In that case, I'd like to order an additonal chocolate ganache pudding.

Keito: You seemed like you were having trouble deciding between this and the pudding earlier.

Nazuna: No, I really didn't mean to make you do that... Are you sure it's fine?

Keito: Truthfully I'm a little concerned about the calories, but I'll burn them off on the walk back.

Nazuna: Ah, I guess I wasn't really thinking about the calories.

Nazuna: I've gotta be careful about eating too many sweets and gaining weight...

Keito: We've decided on what we want, so let's call the waiter over and place our order.

[A few minutes later]

Nazuna: Ah, here it comes, Keito-chin. Uwah, this chocolate parfait is so cute ♪ I almost can't bear to eat it!

Keito: Stop, Nito. Let me take a picture of that parfait before you start eating.

Nazuna: Whoops, that's right. Photos are important for reference purposes.

Nazuna: The chocolate strawberry drink looks pink and cute, just like how it was on the menu... Um, huh?

Keito: Hm? What's the matter, Nito? Did they get the order wrong?

Nazuna: No, I don't think so...

Nazuna: Hey, Keito-chin? What do you think this straw is?

Keito: ...... Yes. This is what is known as an 'Avec straw'.¹ They often appear in romantic comedies and other adjacent manga.

Nazuna: Wh- What does 'Avec' mean...? Actually, what do you mean by 'they appear in romantic comedies'?

Keito: It’s likely that the waiter mistook us for lovers and tried to set the mood.

Nazuna: I'm not a girl! Where and how could Keito-chin and I ever get mistaken for a couple!?

Keito: Oi, Nito. Don't make a racket, you'll disturb the people around us.

Keito: You might not want to hear it, but you do have a feminine looking face, Nito...

Nazuna: Even if that is true, you can tell I'm a man by the way I speak, right?

Keito: They probably weren't listening in on a customer's conversation too closely. On the contrary, it would be disturbing if they did eavesdrop...

Nazuna: Ugh... Good point.

Keito: Additionally, if you were to assess it with a clear head, it isn't a particularly surprising misunderstanding. Valentine's is a couple's event, generally speaking.

Keito: Since we entered the store together, it wouldn’t be odd for someone to presume that we were a couple.

Nazuna: That might be true, but that's one thing! This is another!

Nazuna: Jeez, this makes me want to start stuffing my mouth from despair! I'm going to drown these icky feelings in sweetness now!

Nazuna: Munch, munch... Mm~ It really is so sweet and delicious. I feel like I can forget all my troubles like this. ♪

Nazuna: It doesn’t just taste good, it's also sooo cute that just looking at it makes me happy.

Nazuna: Your chocolate cake has a heart shaped mark drawn on with a chocolate pen, Keito-chin.

Nazuna: My parfait also has a heart shaped cookie on top. Every single part of it really is cute, down to the smallest details. ♪

Keito: Yes. In spite of being advertised as being a richer chocolate flavor, this chocolate cake is also quite sweet.

Keito: ... It's so sweet that I've gotten a bit of heartburn.

Nazuna: Hey now, are you doing alright, Keito-chin?

Keito: I'll be fine. However, you should eat this pudding, Nito...

Nazuna: R-Right. You were kind enough to order it because I wanted to eat it in the first place, after all...

Nazuna: In that case, I could eat the chocolate cake too...

Keito: Just that much is enough. I've already had a bite, so I'll take responsibility and eat it all.

Keito: However, it'll be difficult to go to another shop after this...

Nazuna: I got too greedy, so my stomach's gonna be full...

Nazuna: Ahaha. I ended up losing sight of our goal and enjoying the chocolate instead.

Keito: Yes. However, you'd be wrong to underestimate me, Nito.

Keito: I was still able to do a bit of research by walking around the shop and trying some of the goods.

Keito: As it turns out, Valentine's day is associated with cute things and giving out love.

Keito: The trend these days is that cuteness is justice.²

Keito: With that in mind, don't wagashi have a reputation for being little more formal?

Nazuna: Ah, that's true. When I think of wagashi, they feel strongly associated with being elegant.

Keito: There are wagashi that look cute. However, the association between those two concepts hasn't been conveyed to the world.

Keito: ... Yes. I feel like I can finally see a way out.

Prev | Chapter List | Next

Translation Notes

The 'Avec' in avec straw is actually French for 'together'. I guess these would be called sweetheart straws, or couple straws?

The phrase 'cuteness is justice' is popular slang that basically means 'if something is cute, it's justified'.

I like to think that Ayato is a very gentle and generous lover, but in bed he can be quite selfish and rough. So I would like to request Ayato taking his female s/o on an extravagant date being sweet the whole time and then spending the night together at the kamisato estate with a complete personality change 👀

Hey hunny, thank you for the ask!

I agree with your hc for the most part, tho I do feel like he would still always make sure you’re ok and being "selfish" would still mean spoiling you in the end lol, but anyways: hope you enjoy~

————————————————————————

Kamisato Ayato || gentleman in the streets, rough in the sheets (sfw & nsfw)

• as the Yashiro Commissioner and head of the Kamisato clan, Ayato is a man that is used to keeping up appearances under all circumstances

• he knows his responsibilities and honors them meticulously, which results in him rarely (if ever) being able to really let go

• as his partner, you were one of those responsibilities, and Ayato would always make sure to take you out on a proper date once a month minimum to make up for at least some of the time he’s spent working

• and when the Yashiro Commissioner takes his love out on a date, you can bet your sweet ass it’s gonna be fancy

• you mean the world to him and he wants you to feel appreciated in every way possible, so he only ever gives you the best of everything, treating you like a queen throughout the whole evening

• the restaurant he takes you to is fancy and expensive enough as is, yet he’s additionally arranged a secluded room for the two of you to dine in

• he holds the door open and pulls your chair back for you like a true gentleman, his every movement, no matter how simple, deliberate and graceful - years of training having shaped him into this form and making it hard for him to ever really unwind

• with a pleased smirk gracing his features, he compliments you on the fine dress you are wearing tonight (that he had gifted you the day prior for this occasion), the intricately laced fabric bearing witness to its quality

• "Indeed, I wonder just what drove me to wear this particular one today… I guess I just have immaculate taste" you flash him a playful smile that earns you an amused chuckle, Ayato slightly lifting his glass of wine towards you with a "Touché"

• despite his distinct exterior formality, Ayato certainly hadn’t forgotten that it was you he was dining with, not some business partner of his

• so after the two of you had received your orders and were left alone, the commissioner was finally able to loosen up just a little, enjoying some playful banter with you but mainly inquiring about and patiently listening to how and what you’ve been doing recently

• the two of you rarely get the chance to really catch up with each other, whenever he finishes work in the evening he’s usually not in the mood to talk much, his body aching for some well-deserved rest

• but on this fine evening, it seemed like both of you had all the time in the world and neither of you was gonna let that go to waste

• and remember, it’s not only your needs that more often than not go unfulfilled due to his demanding job: Ayato himself has to cut down lots of his own as well, which obviously also includes spending some quality time with you

• despite his usual polite and calm manner, his wandering gaze and lingering touches throughout the evening did not slip your attention

• and how could they? you were absolutely basking in them, hungry more like STARVED for his undivided attention, leaning forward to grant him a good look down your cleavage every now and then to make sure his attention stayed on you (as if that was necessary lmao)

• you eventually finished up your dinner and made your way home (why do I feel like this man would order you a carriage-), which is when you thanked him for taking the time and going to the trouble of taking you on this date

• Ayato sighs heavily in response "My sweet darling.. after all this time we’ve been together, you still believe anything I do with or for you classifies as "trouble" to me?"

• his piercing gaze didn’t falter as he gently lifted up your chin to make you look at him, clearly expecting an answer from you

• "I… guess not" you reply after a short pause, I mean how could you genuinely think it was with the way he’s been treating you? even a blind man could see that he clearly enjoyed spoiling you

• in spite of your previous efforts of getting his facade to crack just a bit by using your charms before getting home, the head of the Kamisato clan did not break character until the bedroom door was closed and safely locked behind you

• this was by far not the first time you’ve seen this switch with him, yet it would never get old

• and you know this man’s bedroom eyes hit different

• he’s sitting on the edge of your shared bed, beckoning you to come sit on his lap with a mere flicker of his eyes

• and just who were you to refuse?

• while kissing and biting at your neck, his nimble fingers quickly find their way up your thighs and eventually sneak under your dress, the man below you licking his lips in excitement when he finds you wearing no panties underneath

• "My naughty little girl…", he whispered right next to your ear, and next thing you know you’re sprawled out on your back, hands tied above your head with a silky ribbon

• you’d been together with him for quite a while already, and the two of you had long established the do‘s and don‘t‘s for the bedroom

• yet every time you got intimate, Ayato made sure to ask you whether you still remembered your safe word, not proceeding until you’ve repeated it for him

• there’s very few ways for him to let out his pent-up frustrations, and you always loved being the one to help him unwind even if just for a limited time

• you knew how badly he needed it and honestly… you felt no shame admitting you did too

• at times like these, he would constantly manhandle you into different positions, indulging and relishing in the soft warmth you’re so willingly offering him

• and gosh did he love you for this (not only for this ofc but you get my point)

• he often ended up spanking you quite a lot in the process, fascinated by the distinct handprints of his forming on your ass cheeks

• meanwhile his thrusts are quick but precise, his muscle memory allowing him to hit just the spots inside of you that made you see stars in record time while simultaneously rubbing your clit

• after all, the closer you got to your climax, the more you tightened around him and the better it felt for him as well

• this was a rare occasion where he could fully let himself go and let his carnal instincts and desires take over, using your body for his pleasure

• but you most definitely didn’t mind in the slightest, in fact, you were enjoying yourself to the fullest as well

• merely being able to do this for your man made you happy, but it wasn’t like you were being neglected either

• Ayato made sure you didn’t need to do much of the work at all, it was more than enough for him if you just did your best to be a good girl and hold still for him

• but even so, he would only ever allow himself to be selfish for so long

• once his most urgent needs were satisfied, it was always your turn

• he does prefer fingering you over giving you head, simply due to the fact that it allows him to properly monitor your facial expressions the whole time and whisper dirty little things to you, taking note of what made you moan louder or clench around his digits harder

• well it’s not like he doesn’t already know, but he still enjoys playing around and experimenting a bit with his favorite (and only) little fucktoy

• he definitely takes immense pride in being able to satisfy you, besides - like I mentioned before - he genuinely enjoys spoiling his darling, so there’s no way he would ever turn around and leave you wanting

• so needless to say… both of you would be absolutely spent and blissed out by the end of the night, and you already couldn’t wait for the next date night to come up~

#for some reason I struggled a lot with this #but it’s finished so here we are #my writing stuff #genshin impact #genshin ayato #kamisato ayato #ayato kamisato #genshin hcs #genshin x reader #genshin lemon

2ND-5 LOG 0010

Back when I uh - in some hives, they uh, have sayings about beauty, and about function, and I used to listen to those. Things that are functional should be beautiful; things that are beautiful are often in their most functional form. Of course, that'd work better if we could use hexagons, not blocks, but, uh, we've got blocks, so some shapes are...

Uh.

So this is to say that today, I tried to build a windmill.

I've been doing a lot of things lately and it, uh, it paid off! I can now, uh, safely start building machines. Currently I'm crushing tuff; it's the only way I've found to get zinc. To uh. Get zinc... really... really slowly, but uh. It does provide zinc! It does that.

It's not the only thing - I got bad about logging big things. I got magic pots? Uh. Hm. That's phrased - they are magic pots though. I can grow plants I can't even grow with bonemeal in them. They're, uh, handy. For... spore blossoms. And also crops. I don't, uh, have to worry about crops anymore, although the villagers - I don't really want to stop their jobs? They're doing alright. But I get bread from vaults and carrots from a pot now though so I guess I just...

Apples. Uh, I still, from them - apples, I haven't figured out how to... Although, with the saw...

I'll think about it.

And magic torches. I got - they're expensive torches, but when I build them, I can prevent mobs from appearing in whole large areas, light or not! But, uh - I think I broke my mob farm? I have better mob farm tools now anyway, but... Maybe I'll put in real torches, in the new platform I built for making machines on.

I was never - I like machines. I tried to design a squid farm earlier. It didn't work. I also made it out of pumpkins, so it's ugly, so it like, super didn't work. And, uh. Building. I don't... I like exploring. I like what I'm doing. But sometimes I feel like I'm... even for someone borrowing the body I'm using, I'm clumsy. I've always been clumsy. It's always felt like my hands are too big for my eyes, like my arms are too big for my body. I've never been able to... let alone well enough to build.

Things that are beautiful work better. That's a saying in the swarm. Things that are functional are beautiful. That's a saying, too.

I tried to build a windmill today, and it's really ugly.

I, uh...

I try to be nice to myself? I do. I built the temple. The temple is almost done now! I have a totem to each god, now. I don't know if it'll do anything, but, uh... The temple looks nice. It's practically the only thing on the island that does, but...

I try to be nice. Some things, uh, will always be ugly.

I think windmills are one of those things that are supposed to work best when they're beautiful, though, or maybe be beautiful because they work well? Symmetry, and sails, and the wind powering the world. It's windy up here. The windmill was expensive to put together, but it's windy, and I thought...

My windmill is very ugly, though. It's made out of grey wool and it makes me think of a hurricane, except those are almost beautiful too, and this is ugly.

It uh...

Ugly as, uh - ugly as a bear, really, but. It works. It works fine. It works so fine I think later I will try to use it to build a cobblestone generator, and use that to also store sand and gravel. I don't have to worry about those anymore! And, uh, after that, maybe build a copper farm, and after that, I may try to make a steam engine that will power a tree farm, and not have to worry about cutting logs myself again, either, and...

It's funny how much I work to not have to do things myself. But I've always been clumsy. It's easy to tell, looking at the windmill.

Whatever. It doesn't have to be pretty. It works.

[ATTACHED: 2ND-5, wearing the create armor, standing in front of their first contraption. the largest item in the background is an awkward shape made of grey wool, which must be the windmill. A crushing wheel device can also be seen.]

#vh logs #sona stuff #vh talk #...been a little bit since i did one of these updates!#anyway i hope you enjoy my World's Ugliest Windmill #the important thing is that it works!#and that it's like. ALMOST windmill shaped?#like. vaguely the idea of a windmill?#it was originally slightly more windmill shaped but i still had like a stack of wool left to reach max capacity and i was like #welp time to start making new shapes up #and then everything fell apart #IT IS NOT A GIANT SQUARE.

Lenny: Why? What's wrong with you? Are you sure you're okay?

Lenny: I don't need to go to bed. I'm not tired, I'll be fine.

Hello, hello — What a beautiful day it is!

I found myself scrolling a bit today and your lovely image of your Pokémon battling caught my eye! That’s a “Mismagius”, isn’t it? What a state they’re in too, I’m sure they’re great at battling and holding their own!

Buuut — what if I told you I knew the inside secret that Big Pokécenter doesn’t want you to know? The rarest of the rare candies you could possibly find? You see those gems sticking out of your ghostly friend? Bright red, shiny little things, can’t miss ‘em! What if I told you those are a reflection into the Pokémon’s true level?

I’ve got a new order of my Evolutionary Gloss in just recently! One coat of this stuff and it’ll change the color of your little guy’s gems in no time! I can even include the handy little color guide for an extra 500 pokédollars. Red is good, not anything to scoff at — but could you imagine if your Mismagius shifted their gem color to blue with a little bit of your influence? A blue-gemed Magius isn’t anything to scoff at.

Pink? Oh Arc, you’d have people running the minute you stepped into town! That’s why you’ve never seen one with different colored gems — most people have to hide them to not scare everyone away with the amount of unseen power they hold. It’s a blessing and a curse! But, really it‘s just a blessing. Especially for you with this limited time offer, since I’m so kind.

You buy a tube of my patented Evolutionary Gloss and I’ll throw in the exclusive color chart for an measly extra 500 pokédollars! Bringing your actual total to a simple 3,500 pokédollars for a deal that could help level up your little friend in a matter of days! What do you say, yes or yes?

— 💰🍸

Huh. Scam team huh? Why does that sound so familiar... I'm sure I'll figure it out.

You would think if you're going to have such an obvious name you would at least get a more convincing pitch, or maybe try it on someone who ISN'T a competitive battler that's raised a Mismagius for years, haha. But I guess this is a good reason for me to talk about Anise and some of the misconceptions that apparently surround Mismagius' gems!

First off, no, the color of a Mismagius's gems have no bearing on their power level. They are generally red, though if I remember right there are a few conditions, genetic or illness, that can effect the coloration of their gems, as well as many breeders that breed 'fancy' versions of Misdrevous with different colors and shapes, so at the end of the day this means next to nothing.

More importantly though, the gems are not just ornamental, either!! Those gems are how Mismagius sustain themselves, absorbing fear and negative energy from their surroundings to be able to keep themselves well fed and healthy! Now, while I have no idea personally if these paints or gloss or whatever it is would actually stop a Mismagius from being able to absorb the energy it needs, it WOULD stop you from being able to see the gems, and the first and sometimes only sign of failing health in a Misdreavus or Mismagius is a translucent or clear gem, as the color draining is a serious sign that you need to get your friend to a pokemon center right away!!

All that to say, absolutely not, thanks. Hell, even if it WAS completely safe, and what you said about colors wasn't just nonsense, why on earth would i EVER want to scare off potential battles?? I LIKE battling!! What would even be the point?? If you ever want a demonstration though, you're more than welcome to stop by the Amity Department Store sometime :)

So I had this ridiculous cracky fic idea and despite my best efforts I haven't been able to get rid of it. So here's the idea, I guess.

Okay bear with me for a moment here as I start with saying that I'm not up with current Marvel canon or fanon, and I don't know where people are at with any of that these days. In spite of that I was thinking of Loki (definitely have not seen any of the show, there is a show, right?). Anyway, I liked the thing people did at one point where they mixed Marvel Loki with whatever bits of mythology you please and more or less ended up with single mother of monsters Loki.

Onto to the actual idea then. So, what if Loki sends his kids away to some hopeful safety? Because he knows bad things will happen to them otherwise. Well, okay, unless they're all the same age, some bad things would probably already have happened to some of them. Lets go with some combination of prophecy, them being monsters and Odin being an asshole.

In that case, lets say Hela is the new one. Yeah, not accurate to anything probably but whatever, the thought of baby Hela is cute and anyway, I figure the others are easier for Loki to sneakily free once Hela is born so he can send them all away at once. If he did one at a time there would be suspicions so it needs to be everyone all at once. So Loki plans, Hela is born and then he gets everyone free. Right. Totally makes sense so far.

And then he sends them all away because for reasons he can't go with them himself. Hopefully if he stays behind people either won't be interested in going after them, or he can somehow prevent it from happening. Anyway, to the actual point of all of this. The kids end up on ancient Haixing, just in time to be found by baby!Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan as Kunlun.

There's an eight legged horse and Zhao Yunlan has no idea if that's a thing in the past or if he should be very confused. Anyway, what with all the Yashou around, I'm pretty sure they'd be down with the idea that not all people are always people shaped, and these are kids and there's even a baby and obviously someone needs to take care of them.

Right, so, I have no plans whatsoever for writing a story where Shen Wei doesn't end up taking a dirt nap and raises some not very human kids together with Zhao Yunlan instead. Because look a very large and determined snake could probably prevent Zhao Yunlan from being Hallows-snatched and maybe Ye Zun doesn't fall down that hole either and so Shen Wei doesn't need to fall either.

Okay so maybe I also had a thought about how the whole not falling happens. Because Sleipnir while being a horse, maybe technically should be able to shapeshift, he just never has. Possibly because of something Odin did even. Anyway, the first time he does turn into a human is when Shen Wei is trying to hold onto Ye Zun, so he can help hold on because hooves are just not good for holding onto people. Why the kids are there in the first place, well, Sleipnir is a war horse so that makes sense. And maybe some of the others just kind of... snuck after them or something. Because why not.

Yeah, so. Then the kids have three surrogate parents suddenly. (Well once Shen Wei and Ye Zun talk through things anyway, but I figure they'll get there.) And then eventually, (once the first Thor movie has had time to happen) Loki falls through the void and instead of ending up wherever finds himself on Haixing. And yes, I realise I've now stuck everyone in old timey Haixing, because I don't think it's going to take ten thousand years for Loki to find his way there. Idk, they can figure out the Treaty and Dixing's place in things in the meantime and raise some kids and generally try to give everyone some space to recover from their various traumas. Before throwing Loki and all his issues at them, and his feelings about his kids finding other family even if that is a good thing because Loki sent them somewhere where there was someone who could keep them safe even if he didn't know exactly where that would be.

Yeah, that's about it. I definitely haven't thought about any of this. Because it's a ridiculous idea, and spending time thinking about it would be ridiculous.

#fanfic #fic ideas #definitely no plans on writing any of this #so I give it a couple of days at most before it's an official WIP #that's how it usually goes #marvel #guardian #not a wip #zhenhun

Hi! Uhhm I was wondering if I could ask for a BSD matchup?? I've never done any requests or stuff like this before but I've seen some other people do this and wanted to try so uhh yeah ofc it's alright with you don't wanna do this!!

So I'm 164cm tall and have a pear body shape, I'm also a little chubby. I have short hair and my natural hair colour is a light brown but I dyed my hair to a very dark brown/black...does that make sense???

I'm INFP and a Cancer and my Ennegram type is 4w5 but my friends say 4w3 fits also really well

I'm short sighted and can see ok without my glasses I were them most of the time but sometimes I forget them or give them to my friend since she needs glasses too but doesn't have her own

I'm Bisexual and use She/They pronouns...I'm also really affectionate my love language is a mix between Physical touch, Receiving Gifts and Words of Affirmation...I guess it mostly depends on the person my friend for example doesn't like Physical touch much which I respect!! So I always give her a lot of small gifts and tell her how happy I'am to have her!! For people who like affection more lots of hugs...for me personally it's important that those I care about know how much they mean to me even if they don't give me the same love and attention back :)

I actually prefer to be alone but don't mind people I'm a little quiet when you first get to know me and don't talk much about myself, I don't like talking about myself in general because I don't want to annoy or bother anyone. I have slight trust issues but at the same time open up really quick and get attached to people really easy which kinda annoys me T^T

Idk if this is enough or too much but this is what I always saw others do so yeah qwq"" again if you don't want to do this you don't have to!!

Author notr : Hello ! Firstly i'd like to deeply apologize for the time taken :') and secondly i hope you'll enjoy this, and that this is good enough, despites the fact i'm sick, thank you for requesting and take care! ★

Now into the matchup ★

I pair you with...

Dazai!

Dazai

You said your love language is a mix of physical touch, receiving gifts and words of affirmations but that it mostly depends on the person you're with.

With Dazai, you'll see all of the aboves, but mostly physical touch.

So much that you may discover the concept of "hug burn-out"

It is important for you to show the person you care about that you love them - sadly with Dazai, you might feel like a thin wall seperates you from him in a way, all the things you don't know and all of his suicide attempts, but , you swear that by each day that passes, you can see a decrease in the number of his attempts, slowly

And that's why you're not going to give up on letting him know that you love him, even if he might have figured out already, without turning into an akutagawa kinnie of course, or are you?

i'm so sorry

Random compliments , hugs and gifts, he'll keep announcing that he doesn't deserve such a kind and beautiful person as you, so much that he wouldn't bear the thought of double-suicide with you because that would mean that he would cause your death.

Dazai will feel distant for a lot of time, but eventually, you'll see him soften to you

Mission let dazai know he's cared for and loved , i'll let it up to you to imagine that, i can imagine you having that mission on your list with Atsushi, you both could make "evil" plans together to surprise Dazai

You're an introvert, your MBTI let us know that atleast - Thanks to luck, Dazai, even while being the mess of a person he is, will let you have your alone time

And will spend that time missing you, by annoying kunikida or getting you a weird gift in his own ways.

Also, he steals ur glasses , be ready

You've got slight trust issues, and trusting Dazai may be a bit scary, knowing he had a past in the port mafia, and that it is hard to ever know anything about him, yet, you can't help but trust him and his silly smiles.

You're quiet when you don't know Dazai at first, which isn't much of a problem, Dazai will do most of the talking, and soon enough, you'll talk too.

Dazai doesn't talk much about himself, and you don't talk much about yourself too, Dazai will take notice of that and will let you indirectly know that he'd like to know more about you because he's interested, he'll figure most of it out though, but he'll still let you know you can never bother him or annoy him with your stories.

How did you two meet though?

Well, one day you woke up and chose the outside world, went ouside,ended up crossing the path of a port mafia member, crazy story i'm telling you, he was suicidal, abilities manifested and you ended up having no choice but join the port mafia, to cope with your despair you'd go to lupin bar and ended up hanging out with dazai ango and oda, You first feared Dazai and life was feeling heavy because working in the port mafia was hard, but then it became a bit more bearable. And of course the day oda died you both escaped the port mafia bride-style and ended up joining the armed detective agency-

I'm so sorry this is my tired's brain results

Anyways, you both will always be there for each other, and that's what matters most

You also started dating one day after a confession, where oda's grave lied, and mostly thirdwheeled

I'm so sorry-

Astrid vs Rescues and Celebrations

Still in the Shattered Sanctum, looking for people

Astrid: *quietly* Look. Volo.

Astarion: Also guard. So perhaps you should let me--

Astrid: *notches a fire arrow; fires*

Goblin guard: *is extremely dead*

Astarion: Or ... perhaps you're better at this than I give you credit for.

Volo: Oh, thank you! Now, if you'd kindly let me out of this cage...

Astrid: This ... is barely a lock. I can pick this lock. Why couldn't you pick this lock?

Volo: They ... took my lockpicking equipment?

Astarion: If this idiot is going to be sneaking through the place with us--

Volo: Oh, no! No no no! I'll just turn myself invisible and meet you at your camp later, if that's alright!

Astrid: *having picked the lock* But ... why didn't you do that in the first place?

Shadowheart: And why are you travelling with us, again?

Volo: Well, because you are clearly adventurers of renown, needing immortalisation in story and song by a legendary bard!

Astrid: *looks slightly hurt*

Gale; Shadowheart: Excuse you?!?

Astarion: Oh, you've done it now. Hurt the feelings of the precious cinnamon roll. Honestly, I'm not thrilled about it either but I'm far less rash about it.

Volo: Oh! Well! I mean ... a bard can't tell their own tales!

Astrid: You tell yours all the time! Also you still haven't answered about 'if you could turn invisible and walk away, why didn't you long before this?', so...

Volo: Well, I am clearly harshing your vibe, so I'll see you back at your camp! *turns invisible; wanders away probably*

Shadowheart: Are you sure you want him in our camp?

Astrid: I need an object lesson. Someone I can look at and go ... well, 'be better'.

Astarion: And you're sure I can't bite him just a little?

Gale: Remember what she said. Cheerful is clearly a blood-borne pathogen; perhaps stupidity is, as well.

Astrid: Eh, he's had enough goblins by now that it's probably not the case ... but best to be careful anyway.

Astarion: You never let me have any fun.

Shadowheart: She lets you drain goblins.

Astarion: We're generally killing them anyway, but fine.

And, down in the warg pens

Astarion: Please tell me we're not rescuing a bear.

Gale; Shadowheart: *look at Astarion as if he's deeply, deeply stupid*

Astrid: *attempting tact* We're rescuing a druid who's currently in a nicely combat-ready shape, I think. Or we're rescuing a bear that doesn't deserve. Either way, goblin splat.

Goblin warg trainer: *summons wolf companion*

Astrid: PUPPY!

Gale: Um ... 'puppy' wants to eat my face.

Bear: *slaps warg trainer into a wall andmakes him a smear*

Wolf Companion: *poofs out of existence*

Astrid: ...Ah. I guess I couldn't have talked that one around.

Bear: *becomes druid* Hello. I'm Halsin. And I'm also surprised you were willing to rescue a bear.

Astrid: Thought so. Hi, I'm Astrid. I was in the neighbourhood clearing out goblin commanders and thought I'd pick you up on the way. And I figured you were a druid because the Shadow Druids that nearly took over your grove because Kagha got scared turned into one and that was a whole thing and--

Halsin: Wait. Kagha did what with who? All right, I'm going over there and if you need me for ... healing reasons or whatever, meet me there. *becomes rat; scurries away*

Astrid: Again, why couldn't he just have done that and got out of his cage? I don't get it.

Gale: People are like that, apparently. Now, shall we take one of those waypoint portals back, so we don't have to get into too many more fights?

Astrid: Works for me. If they're anything like the ones we saw at Moonhaven, they won't be a threat without their leaders and I'm a little tired of hearing the squelch noises.

Back at the Emerald Grove

Zevlor: You rescued Halsin, you rescued the Grove, and you killed all the generals? We're heading to Baldur's Gate while the heading is good but you must let us feast you as best we can before we go.

Astrid: Okay, but I just wanted to talk to Halsin about--

Halsin: Oh. Right. You've got those parasites. I can't help just now but I have an idea but it can wait until morning; you really do deserve a good feasting.

Astrid: Not entirely sure on the "wait until morning" thing, but we've been okay so far, so... I guess? It's been awhile since I had a party.

Partying at camp

Volo: You're lying to me; you should be a mind flayer by now.

Astrid: *gets right up in his face* Take. A. Look.

Volo: *looks*

Volo: *is horrified*

Volo: All right ... all right ... this is ... new ... I need to have a think about this... If I rack my brain I'm sure I'll come up with some old legend that will help...

Gale: I thought he was going to run screaming.

Astrid: ...So did I.

Gale: Was ... was that the plan?

Astrid: Either he was going to run screaming, or he was going to show he was made of the sterner stuff he has to be made of to take this trip. We win either way.

Gale: I ... keep forgetting how devious you are.

That was about it with Gale, but...

Shadowheart: I don't suppose ... you'd want to share some wine and a bedroll?

Astrid: I thought about it. I thought about it a lot. I think ... you need a friend before you need a lover. It could be both, but the friend has to come first.

Shadowheart: That only actually makes me like you more and I suppose you're not just a bit of entertainment, so ... some parts of me are very insistently angry at me, though.

Astarion: I want sex!

Everyone in earshot: *raises eyebrows*

Astarion: Not with the cinnamon roll, though.

Wyll: So you don't ... *ahem* play with your food?

Astarion: Do you shag your food?

Shadowheart: Are you saying you don't go down on your sexual partners, that you're so discerning about the difference between eating and ... well, eating?

Astarion: ...You've all spoiled my appetite all the way around, you cruel people.

Dreamscape, later, with Controller Person wondering what happened to the illusory sex scenes from early access

Guardian: Oh. Hi. Look, you are changing but I won't let you. It's okay. Still, you need to start using the powers that parasite gives you because you're going to need those powers to save the worlds.

Astrid: Worlds ... plural?

Guardian: ...That's your first question?

Astrid: I like to know the full scope of a situation. It's nice to know exactly how hard epic narrative is going to fuck me, and how spiky the strap-on is going to be.

Guardian: .........

Astrid: Astarion got ... look, it doesn't matter. I don't want to be a mind flayer!

Guardian: And you won't be! Not while I'm around! Except I have to go for a bit because we're losing a big battle. But you'll be alright for awhile. Also you're going to have to find the source of the magic that's keeping those things in there if you want them out ever. Trying to pry them out without disabling the magic first would have killed you or worse.

Astrid: ...wut.

Guardian: Gotta go; bye!

Morning happens and:

Astrid: Okay, hands up who got the dream bulletin about the parasites.

Gale; Astarion; Wyll; Shadowheart: *raise hands*

Astrid: Who reckons I'm owed a massive "I Told You So" for rejecting every goblin, hag, and demon's offers to pry it out?

Wyll; Shadowheart; Gale: *put their hands down*

Astarion: ...All right, fine, consider me ... "told so". Now. How do we find the source of this magic?

Halsin: Moonrise Towers, I think. That's about as far as I got before I was taken hostage, anyway. And if you don't mind, I'll come with; I have some research to do, I've appointed a non-Kagha leader for the Grove, and I owe you for the rescue.

Astrid: Okay, how do we get there?

Halsin: Two options. One - we go up a mountain pass and through land that'll kill us at best just by our presence there. Two - we cut through the Underdark. Questionably safer, but there are Shar-worshipping Dark Justiciar down there and--

Shadowheart: *very tiny hero-worship squee*

Astrid: It makes Shadowheart happy and it avoids being driven crazy by the landscape itself? Sold; Underdark it is! Now, where's the nearest entrance!

Halsin: In the Shattered Sanctum somewhere.

Astrid: ...................So ... I ported out of that camp after killing as few goblins as possible ... and now I have to go back through there ... after having killed their generals? Well ... maybe they'll have vacated by now?

And, later:

The Goblins: *have not vacated*

Astrid: Well ... nuts.

Get to Know My OC Tag Game:

Thank you for tagging me @rickie-the-storyteller!

(Disclaimer: I may have to adapt some of the original questions to fit the context, as the story takes place in a medieval-esque fantasy setting, and will add some questions that I’d like my character to answer that may explain some other things about them. Also, I wasn’t comfortable enough - for some unexplained reason - to use 1st person words for the Interviewer - such as me or I - and so the Interviewer is in a generic 2nd person POV)

[The following character (and the ones that will follow in other posts like this) belongs to my Medieval Dark Fantasy WIP, The Last Wrath. The picture is just a face claim found on pinterest, as I haven’t had time to make character art for the entire cast of my book, and said picture belongs to its respectful owners.]

Let us begin!

A door opens, and 16, soon to be 17, year old Raelen Ashiren strides in. She bears a reckless smile on her face, and her steps are carefree and confident as she walks closer, grasping your hand in a firm hand shake. Her smile is a litle crooked, you notice, and just as wild as her heart. She is an unusual kid of pretty, messy long brown hair carelessly pushed away from her face in thin braids, and warm skin that bears a few small scars. Her clothes are loose and simple, designed for practicality while retaining that unmistakable burst of personality that permeates everything about her presence, a starry purple scarf giving her attire a dash of color. You can’t help but notice that while her clothes are simple and clearly worn by her frequent adventuring, they are not in a bad shape either.

Her voice is fast and joyfully loud, but her words carry a strong sense of warmth and honesty. You can see clearly in her bright eyes every emotions that she is feeling, and like an open book they tell you a story of someone who is brave and wild, but at the same time full of joy... with a touch of something else you can’t quite place. She takes a seat in front of you, awaiting eagerly for the questions you may be inclined to ask.

1) Are you named after anyone?

Raelen: Yes, I am. Heh, I um, was named after my paternal grandmother, though her name was a bit different from mine. She was called Raellyn, and my parents adapted the name to Raelen for me, I guess it was so as to avoid confusion between the names... She was a great warrior, and the pride of House Eiriant during the years she lived - I think my Da wanted her legacy to live on somehow after I was born, even if just in her name, so ... here I am, Raelen. (Cue a laugh and little jazz hands as she finishes her answer)

2) When was the last time you cried?

Raelen: Well, isn’t that a loaded question, (she chuckles awkwardly, bringing her hand up to fiddle with her necklace), one that I’d rather not answer...(she quietly adds, before begrudgingly sighing)... But I guess, if you really want to know, it was when my older brother Julyan was captured by a bunch of assassins... and I couldn’t do anything about it. I’m still looking for him, and I don’t know if we’ll find him anytime soon. (her lip wobbles a bit as she looks up towards you) Can we move on to another um... topic now?

Interviewer (you): Oh, my... um, I wasn’t expecting that, I’m so sorry... (you/the interviewer plaster their best smile on their face, trying to smooth things over) Of course, let’s move on!

Raelen: (her breathing sags a bit in relief and she smiles back at you) Thanks.

3) Do you have kids?

Raelen: What the hell? (She mutters awkardly in a laugh) Of course not, like, I’m barely not a child myself, and I don’t think I want another person to worry about in a world like mine, at least not in the foreseeable future and until I am an adult and have everything figured out. Even if I was not living on the run or there wasn’t a war between the realms about to happen, that would probably still be my answer. (She runs a hand through her hair, chuckling a bit and leaning forwards towards you, as if sharing a secret). With an adoptive brother like Azra flying around on a dragon, I’ve got my work cut out for me right now... (Suddenly she becomes pensive) I can’t imagine how Julyan handled it, like, caring for me and Azra when he was just a kid himself after our parents... you know. I don’t think I would have been able to do that so well even now... (After a pause she taps her hands on her knees, smiling once again.) Either way, circling back to your question, no, I don’t have kids nor plan to have them any time soon.

4) Do you use sarcasm?

Raelen: (smiling with a hint of laughter) Only every day! I’m trying to cut down a bit on it, that seems like a habit that is cut out to get me into more trouble than I already am, heh. But with the company I keep, I’m surprised I’m not more sarcastic or swearing like a sailor, because let me tell you, my friends can be either brilliant or the stupidest people I have ever met and there’s no in between. There are days where they are really testing my patience and I love them for it. (She laughs) I guess sarcasm runs in the family, but I try my best to be um ... politer.

5) What's the first thing you notice about people?

Raelen: Um, I guess I’m kind of good at telling when people are lying to me or have ill intentions. Everyone has a tell, though some may be harder to understand than others. I think it rather comes as a necessity when you live in Agrannor, but I’ve met some people that can prove that thought otherwise in a second (She pointedly stares at Vallerius). Also, personality wise, I am also quick to notice the little quirks and expressions, the small characterictics that tell us what they are really feeling even if their words won’t. But all of this only applies to when I am in a good or focused mood, because if I’m scared or angry the deal is totally off and I may or may not be really bad at those things I just said under those circumtances, heh.

6) What's your eye colour?

Raelen: Hazel green. At least, I think that’s what I think it is. Oh, and they only change color a small bit when I use my magic, which is something I don’t know what to make of. I’m still practicing, Vall’s teaching me more about magic, so I hope I can get those cool colorful eyes in the future, (she geeks out a bit) though I guess mine are already pretty sweet.

7) Any special talents?

Raelen: I’m Mageborn, which means that I was born with magic in my blood, unlike a regular human. So I can cast spells and change things in the world around me with them. My family is pretty ancient, especially my Mom’s side of the family - House Ashiren, hence the surname - and we’ve been mages since before the Ancient War. (She twirls her necklace in her hands, thinking, and a small smile appears in her face) When I was a kid - after our parents disappeared and it was just me and Julyan - we didn’t have much other than our own company, so Julyan used to tell me all those tales about our ancestors, to make me feel better - powerful warriors and mages fighting to rid the kingdoms of the scourge of the Secret Court (Raelen raises her arms a bit, enthusiastically, like one would telling a heroic tale) - and I used to dream of becoming a hero, like they had been... So, as far as special talents can go, I think I have them - I can do magic, I am a mage after all, though I wish I could be better at it. I’ve been improving a lot recently, ever since Valleriusand I started practicing together! Though I think I may never be as strong in the magical arts as Julyan is - I’ve always been more like my Da after all, Julyan’s far more like our Mom than he’d admit, and that includes being extremely talented with fire magic. Other than the magical side of my um, “talents”, I’m a ... good swordfighter, I guess, and I’m kinda good with daggers. I can defend myself pretty well, but that’s about it. (She laughs heartedly) I can’t shoot an arrow to save my life though. Other than that, my real passions lie on investigating forgotten things about old magic and adventuring! Does that count as a talent? I think it doesn’t, but does it count?

Interviewer (you): Uh... I don’t know, maybe?

Raelen: (smiling) Great! Because I’m a pretty good adventurer then, heh, though most people around me prefer to call me a troublemaker for some reason... (she says, a sarcastic lilt to her voice) I guess it does have a good ring to it, though adventurer sounds far more... heroic. I’m still workshopping that one, but adventurer sounds much cooler than troublemaker.

8) Scary tales or happy endings?

Raelen: Uh, life in the continent is already one scary tale and a half on my opinion, I mean, you have wars in one hand, intrigue in another, a bunch of crazy corrupted sorcerers wanting to rewrite the word in blood and everything that twisted magic entails, such as the Shroud around the forests back home. So, if I have to choose which story I want to tell or hear around the fire, I definitely would go with one that ends at least remotely happy. The heroic ones are my favorites, if you can’t already tell. I think that hope is a important skill to have in any situation, especially in dangerous ones, so a story that is inspiring to some extent or at the very least tells us something interesting, is definitely better than a terrifying one. But I maybe got a bit too caried away here (she chuckles)....

9) Where were you born?

Raelen: I was born in my family’s ancient estate near the Forests of Midtaren, during the Agrannorian Civil War. A while later, when I was around like maybe four or five, our parents went in a strange mission and never returned. Julyan and I had to move to the Kingdom of Kestrall all by ourselves, where our godmother is High General and had made a promise to our father that she would protect us if the worst came to pass. The journey to get there however.. um, is something I’d rather forget and never talk about again...

10) What are your hobbies?

Raelen: Running in the forests around Kestrall, sparring, sneaking into the Dragon’s Spire with Gareth - he’s my best friend by the way (she smiles)- and seeing all the new dragons that the Riders are training, talking, annoying the guards, watching Julyan make runic weapons, stealing old books from the Royal Archives -

Interviewer (you): Woah, woah... Wait a second, that’s already a whole lot but... stealing?

Raelen: (Laughs sheepishly) Um, kinda...? Look, its not really stealing, its complicated... the Archives are open to the public, but I got banned from ever entering those halls again because I spoke against that shithead of the Captain of the Guard (She says the title mockingly), after he, um... hurt my brother (She looks clearly uncomfortable/scared at the memory, before she clasps her hands together). Anyways... so there’s that, and now I kind of had to sneak away the books and tomes that I want, though I can’t do it anymore because I’m currently living on the run across the continent. (She chuckles and lifts her eyebrows sarcastically). Listen, if it makes you feel better, Julyan and Azra told me not to sneak into the Archives... at least for the first 10 times.

Interviewer (you): (clearly concerned, muttering to yourself) That’s so much worse though... (The Interviewer/You clear your throat)... Anyways, let us move forward...

11) Do you have any pets?

Raelen: I wouldn’t call Mystral that heh... She’s this dragon that we’ve got that like, is following us around ever since we uh - snuck her away from the Dragon Spire to escape a bunch of assassins and Azra crash landed us gloriously in the forest. (She giggles, then catches Azra staring daggers at her and answers by making a face at him). Gods, we’d better hope she didn’t hear us calling her a pet... because according to Vallerius’ translations of what she is thinking, she’s uh... (she then begins talking with a mock majestic voice) “The Tamer of Storms and the Scourge of the Earth, cower before me ye mortals” or something along those lines. (Raelen leans closer, whispering to you with a smirk)...But she does look and act like a cat, so I can’t really take her seriously and neither should you. She insists that she needs mittens for the winter, even though she generates enough heat to light up ten forges and has claws the size of a broadsword, and claims that its a disgrace that were not taking such “an important request” seriously in the middle of a war - though now that I think of it, that might just be Vallerius screwing us over with his shitty half-assed translations of Old Dragon Speech. (She narrows her eyes towards the long haired boy across the room, who pointed avoids her gaze).

12) What sports do you play/have played?

Raelen: Look, this isn’t really a sport, but I’ve sparred against some of the older Dragon Knights in a swordfigthing tourney of winter’s solstice Festival a few years ago, and did a pretty great job at it, I think. That is, before a stray spear knocked me on the helmet and left me unconscious for like, two hours. Teiva - that’s the General, our godmother - thought it was funny and seemed impressed, while Julyan nearly had a heart attack and the lecture that followed made me wish I was still asleep. But the food at the festival was good! So there’s that.

13) How tall are you?

Raelen: I don’t know exactly, but average height, maybe? Sometimes I think I am a bit taller than other kids my age, but that may be because Azra and Gareth are little ankle-biters, (she turns around as Azra prostests in the background, a smirk on her face as she sarcastically calls out). I think you’re proving my point, huh?

Interviewer (you): (The Interviewer/You smile as they start to bicker and nudge Raelen on the shoulder to catch her attention) This was one heck of a wild ride, Raelen! I hope you figure things out in your life again, and that you’ll find your brother soon. Thank you for coming to my interview!

Raelen: This was a really fun experience! Thanks for having me, I really got to go though. Have like, an Empire to topple, a brother to save, a rebellion to help.. uh, anyways, a lot of things that I don’t want to burden you with... Bye!

i love it that you reblogged the “get to know the blogger” post bc i saw you reblog a lot of “le belle et la bete” gifs and was curious about your general taste/favourite films 👁️👁️

this is going to be so long i'm sorry but i just love talking about it so let's start!

i'm going to highlight some of the movies from my favourites list on letterboxd aka the movies that butter my bun:

— Skyfall (2012) and 1917 (2019) both directed by Sam Mendes are honestly great movies with Skyfall for me being the best Bond movie and 1917 as one of the best war movies. What made 1917 one of my favourites was the watching it at cinema experience plus the reveal in the end is just *chef's kiss*

— Tarantino movies. Like that's it. I know a lot of ppl don't like him but for me he's one of the best writers and sure has his problems but you cannot deny his work is great. Inglorious Basterds for me take the cake as his best movie with Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill: Part I being up there as well. One of his underrated movies is definitely Jackie Brown which I've loved.

— Period dramas. Another one of my fave genres. Emma. (2020) being one of my favourite movies. Emma (2009) is also a great adaptation albeit it is a series. Pride and Prejudice (2005) and (1995) are great as well. Little Women has recently grown on me way more and remains my favourite Greta Gerwig movie. Another underrated movie for me is Ophelia which as the title says focuses more on Ophelia from the play Hamlet. It's really well done and I've enjoyed watching it.

— This one is also a period drama but it is a bollywood movie so I wanted to highlight it. Jodhaa Akbar is a MUST watch such a good movie it's insane like I'm sorry you have a sword fight sequence between two lovers and you have won me over.

— Let's get franchises out of the way. Obviously Marvel movies are some of my favourites with Avengers: Infinity War, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Thor: Ragnarok which are in my top 3. Both Black Panther movies and Spider-man: No Way Home are taking honourable mentions. For their series my favourite has been Moon Knight. (Sony gets their cookies for Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse and obviously Venom because come on now eddie and venom are otp y'all don't get it like i do)

— Next big franchise is Star Wars. Original trilogy: Empire Strikes Back. Prequel trilogy: Revenge of the Sith (I'm an Anakin girlie unfortunately) and Sequel trilogy: The Last Jedi (Rian Johnson supremacy). Series: Obi-wan Kenobi (i cried). Honourable mention to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (i also cried).

— Since I mentioned Rian Johnson let's expand on that because the man just gets movies and everyone should watch Looper and Knives Out!!

— Denis Villeneuve. MY MAN!!!! Arrival and Dune *chef's kiss* if you can bear longer movies also Blade Runner 2049 but it isn't one of my favorites exactly because it was long and boring. And since probably someone will say the same for Dune at least Dune has you looking at Oscar Isaac and Timothee Chalamet sure they look miserable but that's when men look the best.

— Spy movies? like idk how to call this but let me list them all. Anna (2019) they succeeded where The Red Sparrow failed like if you're looking for anything similar to Black Widow Anna is the one I would recommend a thousand times. The Nice Guys and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. great comedies I just love them. It's not really a spy but assassin I guess but John Wick franchise is the shit and the best movie is obviously John Wick 2.

— Another director that has me is unfortunately Christopher Nolan. Can I get more basic than that? I do admit his faults and that's sound mixing is fucking awful, I don't understand his movies while I am watching them most of the time and this man cannot write a female character for the life of him BUT 🎶 shapes and colours 🎶. His ideas are what draw me in and it's just visual masterpieces doesn't matter if I can't hear the dialogue if it looks good am I right?

— Smashing musicals and animation together because this is already becoming too long. Singin' In The Rain and The Sound of Music are a MUST watch and also I'm a Phantom of the Opera girlie so if you're going to watch anything watch the 25th anniversary version. I am also unfortunately a Hamilton girlie and the damage to my life caused by that damn musical is irreparable. For animation musical Hercules, The Emperor's New Groove, Anastasia, The Lion King and Tangled and purely animation Howl's Moving Castle, Lilo and Stitch, The Incredibles and Inside Out.

— Now it's time for a quick fire: Ford v Ferrari and Rush are two best movies for my motorsport girlies, Gone Girl and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire for my book girlies, Death at a Funeral and Hot Fuzz for the british comedy girlies, i'm also unfortunately a Titanic girlie probably the movie i've watched most in my life, THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS!!! A. MUST. WATCH. Monty Python movies are great if you ignore some of the outdated jokes. Jackie is one of my favorites just because it's one of Natalie's Portman's best performances and that's also including Black Swan but both movies are also visually stunning.

— The Death of Stalin is one of the best comedies as well. Ready Player One is one of my weirder favourites since many ppl see it as an average movie but i'd recommend it to anyone (literally can't believe it's my favourite Spielberg movie 😭😭). Also add to the video game genre Tron: Legacy because I will also recommend that movie to anyone. The Grand Budapest Hotel is also a must watch like if anyone made the world go through a pink paint shortage before Barbie did then it's this movie and finally The Batman (2022). Let's end on a battinson note just because.

— Crazy to think I haven't even mentioned all of my favourites but I guess this is kinda the jist of it all. Basically my taste is anything as long as I like it I guess jsbsjsbsjs. (I forgot to mention the horror genre but that's just because I don't really have a favourite movie like if I had to say anything it would be The Conjuring movies.)

— As for Le Belle Et La Bête it's one of my new favourites and honestly got me into a french cinema mood so I'll probably find more favourites there. One of my goals has always been to watch more foreign movies but not many have entered my favourites club unfortunately. Also fuck disney live-action remakes (except you cinderella (2015)).

Lyz' 5 - Focus

Focussing-Upon Something is to be focusing on a thing or upon such a thing, while any sort or kind of focus loss and the such, as in the process of losing a focused state or condition of cognitive accuracy, is said to be plainly unfocused, or otherwise unfocusing or having unfocused said thing or, it might also be said to have lost a focus, maybe together with on or upon followed by it, such so often is the said thing.

By being focused on focusing bound with either an on or an upon something, however, means the meaning of staying focused exactly that is, though not to forget that if not instead, metacognitive thinking is the actual context instead, changing the actual meaning of the entire situation again of the poor forgotten thing we've said and only if and that's what a focus is actually meant for

either lense up or lents down get your hold over your hands and your hinchy head again. Force France Frenzy frown Fans Fins Thumbs Forethrown thin tin can Firecat Cutfella Focus Fez Fossils Fuzzy Fis Cussings Things Locus Lotus Focal Fatal Local Far-Right Referential Frugal I Find easy to bethieve a faith Faucault is his name incorrectily misremembered and improperly written by me, or is it? Let uns feel, steal nothing like F words anymore let's concentrate on rehearsive appeal.

It's sounding somelike akin to gobbledygook, Corporate Cantonese Chinese chit-chatter, Jackie Chan in a checkish kung-fu family film featuring this fanservice just so it lands tonguey expressiveness lisp of his it is, as it is presented to his audience.

And the focus within, - also with an on or upon, of course - to observe the Great or Single, fair to feit letterwise Wrong and Right as well, pro or contra it's numerous consequences are hidden even deeper within and nothing, never ever having any one of these stuffs, but cognitive resources well shockshit, too insufficient, just not a single unretarded card landing up at hand to think through chaos yet certain cold anxiety noises easier than reason to listen to but for colorful light shimmer engorgery brain is not enough brain? great to enjoy inavailable the world in raw unorder That is not right.

It is wrong.

In the end, what is so significant then what's the point to poker a pot which pays you no vendor and burns more like real shit than hashish and card metaphors turned to stoned it boils down to the question I beg analyzing an art is not really wrong, I admit, it is hard and more often than not impossible.

Elaborations, unneccessary creations word generations, delusional the most my meta rule engines the dull flesh my laziness bears.

When is it whole paragraphs too long where was awareness gone what sounds wise who am I,

and are you fellow gendered stranger in front of that curious letter user are you more important than me you so called Missesy Lady Madam Bibabuttens who is, from, her, their and your Majesty of Royally?

Abnormally nobel and novel a genie of next stationing away from obsession to forthflowing content!

Really, content, stay to it avoid going nuts from overreacting about the wrong thing this is your rail.

Just imagine, against the facts clearly not at hand Assume: your curse protects from, say Adverse effects perverted defects murdering insects

religiously the fallacy acts the Pope's racial pedigree bibles brible library liar blessphemy chapter apes shape the chapel pslam verses Christian Territorial hissings clashings and death wishings Let me be please preach Guess that's a way.

So, what is this tiny little tale's lesson here learnt?

Ech, who am I asking there anyway as if I and my own, wonderful echelon besides me, entirely made out of all of my positive traits were out on a hustle for some hustling or is that me? Part genie, art genie a gentle data editor sprite

or taken off masks a human being resolving a spite the cure through hard drive overrides.

What might my friends be thinking now, without knowing how much I think about them now and simply hope to appeal to them, not to disappoint them, precisely because I trust them as deeply as they trust me too why must love always hurt so much and nevertheless, no one is ever to look away from the pain of others those close to you and about your pain of aware sight, who simply stand around just like you?

Who is taking the reins when and who is taking amiss when about whom who decides when is what to be done how and where who is telling us where we come from and why we do whatever we do?

Is that love. Is this love? This is love? That's love. Friends are the loveliest. They are simply the lovely ones lovely. Screw sex for a second or two, one does fuck one another the best way mentally anyway before chilling out on those ours well-equipoised equivalents of the cigarette after. Oh, friendship, wicked substance but who is the alchemist and who the philosopher or the physicist? Or our medical prodigy today? I prefer one role about all the brains, perhaps, white coffee for me.

The Focus and the Ego who I am, as a sum out of all of you, or you, sum of them and us,

It is defined through the current condition of that approximately relevant situation since whatever it is directed on or upon so much a mathematical function alike and spits out essentials in numbers and clock gear cogs and odds so that the thankful you, for these volitional line breaks over everywhere, are left gobsmacked your turn to jaw my drop even downer,

and eventually everything that you want that you are, that you eat, that you're willing to be and to become is yielded by what you're seeing and others are seeing about you thatever you've seen and nothing else but the comparison, this one special process, operation between letters and thinked thoughts

as final component to the last trick for the quiry to insights which still might be left lacking, and a huge fun it's going to be to untangzzigle, iron and refubrish after the after the Lysergical what pity, has to leave again soon but still is quite a while around here and there until then

let's enjoy the symmetry of that duck over there!

Nine Days Later...

Good grief, I posted about the powder room makeover and then disappeared. We’ve been busy around here. I’ve been doing lots of yard work and that makes me happy. I have high hopes. I’ve been cleaning up the tree line, raking fertilizer and soil into flowers beds, scattering zinnia seeds and sunflower seeds (cross your fingers) and generally getting ready for the blooming season. It’s weird not having a plant nursery nearby. There are a couple of small greenhouses, but right now they have mostly veggies, hanging baskets, and ferns. I’m on the hunt for a flat of red vinca and maybe some speedwell. Last week we drove into Dover to visit Home Depot. It’s nearly an hour trip and it looks mostly like this.

Loads of farms and everything is looking green. Hello, spring! There’s a Lowe’s closer to us, but there’s no sales tax in Delaware. Does it make sense to use extra gas to avoid sales tax? I guess it depends on how large of a purchase you’re making. For us, it’s fencing. I just want a strip of pretty fence in the back yard between us and the woodsy area. If we can get it done soon I can create a pretty flower bed in front of it. I’ve done my part. The mister bought me this little beauty and I spent two days taking out small trees and all manner of scrubby, weedy, bushes.

I have a fabulous chainsaw (it’s PINK!) but this was perfect for the job at hand. It came with two batteries, so no gas or power cords are involved. It’s lightweight but packs a punch. It zipped through everything I needed to zip through and in no time at all I had piles of trunks and branches for the town to pick up. It was a hot mess back there, and now it looks much tidier. I look like I fought off a mountain lion, but it’s done! I’ll share pics when the fence is up. Well, maybe sooner - as soon as the piles of tree remains get picked up. One individual who is enjoying that tree line is Stanley. He lounges under the birdfeeder and plays in the birdbath. He also drinks from the bird bath, but he spends a lot of time making ripples and chasing leaves around in the water.

That was pre-cleanup. I snapped it through the kitchen window. I don’t know Stanley’s real name, I just know that I worried about him all winter and then a couple of weeks ago he showed up wearing a collar bearing a last name and an address just two houses down. I may be responsible for his pot belly. I was just trying to get him through the cold months. Oops. But back to the yard - my little Jane Magnolia bloomed like crazy, even though she’s barely a yard high. I planted a lilac bush and a beauty berry bush (for the birdies). I put some Morning Glory seeds in the ground near the corner of the porch, hoping that it twines along the porch railings and offers pretty blue blooms. Mickey hung a birdhouse in the Crape Myrtle tree for me, that’s also at the corner of the porch. The front porch is in an L shape and I’ve claimed that short side as my own. That’s where the tree is, that’s where I’ll hang a hummingbird feeder, that’s where the lilac is planted and where I hope the Morning Glory vines will bloom. Mickey put a little wicker loveseat there for me and I can sit in the shade and listen to bird song and smell the gardens. I’m finding my way home again. It takes a lot of hard work to carve out a patch of paradise, but we’re getting there. It’ll be years before most of what I’m planting matures, but by then I’ll be grateful. Heck, I’m grateful now. I’m also very grateful for my sister. She drove over last week and brought a car load of dolls and doll paraphernalia. Her daughter was into all of the American Girl stuff and she no longer wanted any of it. Two lovely dolls, beds, clothes, all manner of sports equipment (even a pup tent) , a salon chair for getting their hair done. There are even books! I took some time to empty the closet in the grandgirl’s room to make way for all of this wonderful treasure. While I was organizing the bounty a certain kitty claimed the bunk beds.

She fell into a deep sleep, so I saved the beds for last. I should have poked her, gotten in her face, sat on her chest, and cried. That’s what she does to me in the morning. Anyway, I’m grateful for my very generous sister. Our little miss will have a ball with all of this.

Did I mention how much fun the grandgirl had with the Egg-mazing?

You just pop a hard boiled egg into that egg-shaped spot and turn on the motor. It spins the egg while you apply color. These eggs were created by a 5 year old!

Prettiest eggs in town! Easter already feels like a month ago. We’ve got a lot to look forward to - blooming season, grilling season, beach season, and more! MY two sweet sons have planned a trip for July and will be flying off to Berlin and then to Prague. I know they’ll have a blast. They’ll probably visit plenty of spy museums and WWII sites. I want them to go to the Lennon Wall in Prague and write, “My mom said to be nice.” Sorry for the boring post but I’ve been spending my days cutting down trees and digging in the dirt. If it kills me I’m going to make every corner of this place beautiful. Then I’ll sit on my little loveseat on the porch, under the shade of a tree full of singing birds, and enjoy the heck out of it. Come sit with me! I’ll make lemonade and finger sandwiches and we’ll talk about nothing and everything. Doesn’t that sound nice? Alright, I’m calling it a night. I’ve got some crafty stuff in the works and I’ll share that with you tomorrow. For now I’m off to a bubble bath and then I’m getting under the covers with a cat and a book. Livin’ on the edge. I hope that spring is filling your world with delight right now, wherever you are. I know some areas are getting winter’s last blast, but I’ll bet that daffodils are right behind it. Keep the faith! Stay safe, stay well, take good care.

XOXO, Nancy

Sutokuin/Akihito Main Story Chapter 26

Chapter 25 // Premium story

----Part 1-----

The day after Akihito's curse was lifted.....

Tamamo: "You're up early, Sutokuin. I guess I am just in time."

Akihito: ".....Oh, it's you."

Akihito was walking pensively through the gardens of the empty house where he was temporarily staying.

Tamamo casually walks upto him.

Tamamo: "I just thought I would have a long talk with the man who stole my cute Yoshino from me."

Akihito: "I wanted to talk to you too."

Tamamo: "Oh."

Akihito: "Once there was this beautiful woman whom my father, Toba was devoted to. Her name was Tamamo-no-mae."

Tamamo: "...."

Akihito: "My father kept me away from him from the very beginning, saw I never saw her face...."

Akihito: "I was told one day that she disappeared from the palace into thin air."

Tamamo: "The more beautiful they are, the more mysterious they become, right?"

Tamamo nodded his head and blurted out.

Akihito: "That's true. But----"

Akihito: "Many years later, I met Yasuchika....and after some time, I made a deal with Ibuki."

Akihito: "I heard the name Tamamo-no-mae again."

Akihito: "It was the name of a nine-tail fox who disguised himself as a woman, that Yasuchika was ordered to defeat."

Tamamo: "----I see."

Tamamo no longer try to deny the gentle pursuit of Akihito.

Tamamo: "Sutokuin. So you and I came close to meeting twice, but....fate never let us at all."

Akihito: "Unfortunate, isn't it?"

Tamamo: "You were right, I was favored by Toba."

Tamamo: "But bearing the love of someone who is so powerful at that time was so annoying. That's why I left."

Looking at the brenches drenched in morning dew, Akihito askes quietly.

Akihito: "----What kind of person was he?"

Tamamo: "I remember him as an obsessive man."

Akihito: "...Oh."

Tamamo: "Sad that I didn't stay with you father? Sutokuin."

Akihito: "Until yesterday."

Akihito: "I already have something important. Still, my father's presence never left me."

Tamamo: "A curse indeed. Toba continued to haunt your soul even after his death."

Akihito: "......."

A provocative smile then dwelled on Tamamo's lips.

Tamamo: "Can you make Yoshino happy?"

Tamamo: "Do you think blessings come to those who do not know the definition of life's pleasures, Sutokuin?"

Akihito: "I've always felt a bit put down by it too."

Akihito: "I can't give anything back to Yoshino that's worth that she gives so generously."

Tamamo: "You don't feel that way now?"

Akihito is a slow consul.

Akihito: "Something inside me changed when I killed my father, whom my curse took the shape of."

Akihito: "For me, happiness isn't always pretty."

Akihito: "Ugly, awkwardly, bloody, and all of that."

Akihito: "No matter how dirty she gets, Yoshino will always be happy."

Tamamo: "----Is that so?"

Feeling satisfied, Tamamo's eyes softened.

Akihito: "Did that answer satisfy you nine-tail-fox?"

Tamamo: "I'll decide when I look at your future."

Tamamo: "Don't forget that mine and Yoshino's deal haven't broken yet."

Akihito: "Looks like she will have to continue to exterminate demons to break the contract, huh?"

Akihito quickly replies.

Akihito: "After all, Yoritomo is still benefitting from this, even if Yoshino is with me...."

Akihito: "I'm sure the Shogunate would like to keep the nine-tail fox around after it has regained its full strength."

Tamamo: "I like the Shogunate. So I wouldn't mind giving him what he wants....."

Tamamo: "Just because of that, it doesn't means I can't look after Yoshino."

Akihito: "It's nice to see you care about Yoshino that much."

Two graceful shadows walked side by side through the morning mist.

Tamamo: "By the way, you seemed to be thinking about something before I approached you."

Akihito: "So like our Shuten Doji, every demons like to read peoples minds..."

Tamamo: "We fickle creatures are very curious, you know."

As expected, Akihito laughed at Tamamo's affirmation without offence.

Akihito: "Well, I don't mind."

----Part 2----

Akihito: "Well, I don't mind."

Akihito: "I just feel a bit sorry for myself for not knowing how to make up with the people after living all these years."

.............

(It's time. Akihito-sama and Yasuchika-san is going finally settle things between them....)

Yasuchika: "(*^‿^*)"

Akihito: *gulps*

(Yasuchika-san is smiling, but I could feel the heavy pressure)

All four of us sat around a table, and I was feeling nervous.

Ibuki: *Smiling because he's enjoying the show*

When I looked at Ibuki for help, he coolly ignored me.

Akihito: "Are you angry, Yasuchika?"

Yasuchika: "Angry? Who me?(*^‿^*)(*^‿^*) Do I look angry to you?"

Akihito: "No. It's because you haven't spoken to me at all."

Yasuchika: "Oh that! Didn't you say that you want me 'to shut up because my mouth was annoying'?"

(....No way, Akihito-sama actually said that. No wonder Yasuchika-san is angry)

Like me, Akihito-sama was trying to protect Yasuchika-san by pushing him away....

Akihito: "Yasuchika..."

Yasuchika: "Don't worry."

Yasuchika: "I know that Akihito-sama reached out to me on a whim when I was a kid."

Yasuchika: "I was so dumb to think that it was out of love."

Yasuchika: "After all, you have thought of leaving me behind twice already."

Yoshino: "Twice...?"

When I was confused, Ibuki filled me in.

Ibuki: "After making a deal with me, Akihito tried to leave Yasuchika, when he was a kid."

Ibuki: "Yasuchika was being insistent, so we all ended up living together. Those were happy memories...."

(Now I see...)

Yasuchika: "Ibuki. Just shut up."

Yasuchika-san interrupts with a glare.

Akihito: "I didn't want to involve you in my mess again, Yasuchika."

Yasuchika: "Really?"

Akihito: "!!"

(Usually, when a cheerful person gets suddenly angry, the power is amazing....)

Ibuki: "Ahh, forgive me, Yasuchikaa.."

Ibuki: "I'll never torment you again, so please don't freeze me with your icy glare."

(Ibuki is so tough to read that is hard to figure out whether he's being teasing or serious)

Yasuchika: "I don't care about you."

Yasuchika: "I'm always angry with you that I want to kill you right now!"

Ibuki: "Aww?"

After looking at the happy Ibuki from the corner of his eyes, his gaze then turns to Akihito-sama.

Yasuchika: "Akihito-sama, why do you keep leaving me and choosing Ibuki?"

His voice was filled with pain and many other emotions.

Yasuchika: "I....am I not reliable to help you at a crucial time?"

Akihito: "That's not it!"

Akihito: "You were my hope. The bright light I found in the darkness."

Akihito: "That's why I was scared.....that I'm making you unhappy."

Yasuchika: "........"

Yasuchika: "Thank you for that. But I've never asked you to protect me."

Akihito: "......But."

(Akihito-sama, you can do it!)

I secretly cheered for Akihito-sama, who was finding his words."

Unusually, Akihito-sama became silent.

Akihito: "----But it's partly your fault too."

Akihito: "Our relationship is so awkward that you speak informally or get mad at Ibuki without holding back but when it's with me, Yasuchika is so formal...."

Yasuchika: "..... Are you reopening that door?"

Yasuchika-san stood up.

Yoshino: "Yasuchika-san!"

Yasuchika: "I now understand, what Akihito-sama thinks of me. I'm just his toy, that he can do whatever he wants."

Yasuchika: "Nothing changes for him, if I leave, right----?"

Akihito: "That's not true."

Akihito-sama quickly grabbed Yasuchika-san's hand.

Akihito: "You are important to me...I need you to stay with me. I want you to tell me what you really think."

Yasuchika: "!"

Akihito: "I was wrong. I promise I'll never leave you again."

----Part 3-----

Akihito: "I was wrong. I promise I'll never leave you again."

Yasuchika: "It's too late now..."

Akihito: "I'm an imperfect man, I might get something wrong in the future!"

Akihito: "Then I want you to get angry at me and stop me without reservation like you are doing now."

(Akihito-sama...)

Yasuchika-san gripped back his hand tightly.

Yasuchika: "...That's enough."

Yasuchika: "I feel like I've heard everything I've ever wanted to hear in my life."

Yasuchika-san muttered, not knowing what he looked like.

Akihito: "Thank you...Yasuchika.."

(Even though Akihito-sama and Yasuchika-san truly care for each other)

(Both are equally clumsy when expressing it)

(But I'm sure that their relationship will change to something even more solid in the future)

Akihito: "Also, I have one request..."

Yasuchika: "Yes?"

Akihito-sama takes something out of his pocket.

(The bracelet that seals the curse?)

The bracelet is black and faintly broken.

Akihito: "Can you fix this? You don't have to add the spells that seal curses on it anymore."

Yasuchika: "Eh?"

Akihito: "This is going to be my lucky charm."

Akihito: "If I meet a difficult fate on the road ahead, I am sure your bracelet will be there to hold me up."

Akihito: "----Is that okay with you?"

Yasuchika: "No! I'll fix it right away!"

Ibuki: "Are you done having a cold war? Good to see you both grown up."

As usual, Yasuchika-san glared at Ibuki.

(...I am sure that every time I see the bracelet, I will remember this day and be encouraged)

...................

Later, at Ibuki's suggestion, we checked the changes in Akihito-sama's powers....

Ibuki: "I see. You can't use Kotodama of much stronger levels."

Akihito: "Yes. I can use simple ones like 'don't move' but they're less effective."

Yoshino: "It's amazing that you can still you Kotodama despite it being not boosted by your curse."

(Of course he's not going to use it anymore)

Yasuchika: "Akihito-sama has been using Kotodama for so long that it has already ingrained in his body."

Yasuchika-san gives his opinion while taking control.

Ibuki: "Akihito also has no physical strength. With only his lightning abilities, he'll soon run of breath, won't he?"

Yasuchika: "----Then isn't it best for Ibuki to break his deal with Akihito-sama?"

A cold provocation was directed at Ibuki.

Yasuchika: "Akihito-sama no longer has the curse and his life is going to change from here on. So you should have no use of him, right?"

Akihito: "Yasuchika----"

Ibuki: "You have a point."

Akihito: "...!"

(It's true that Ibuki could leave once the deal has broken....)

(But)

If you think about the relationship between these three...

From my point of view, if anyone of them is missing, then it won't be complete.

Ibuki: "I hate boredom and watching the peaceful world makes me yawn."

Yasuchika: "...Great."

Ibuki: "But I'm not going to."

Yasuchika: "Excuse me?"

(Really!?)

Ibuki laughs looking at our surprised face.

Akihito: "Ibuki?"

Ibuki: "Isn't it obvious. Your punishment is to suffer me till the end for chosing such a boring ending."

Akihito: "....."

After a sudden moment of surprise, Akihito-sama giggled.

Akihito: "I see. Looks like I can't help it then."

(...I guess Ibuki likes Akihito-sama and Yasuchika-san in his own way after all)

Akihito: "Yasuchika, Ibuki helped me a lot once again this time."

Akihito: "So..."

Yasuchika: "..."

Yasuchika-san pressed his lips in an uninteresting way and then shrugs.

Yasuchika: "......Well, I guess having different powers can help Akihito-sama to protect himself."

Yasuchika: "Also there will be more traitors who will try to kill Akihito-sama in the future."

Ibuki: "Just say you're always out of tune without me, already."

Yasuchika: "Now I can test many hazardous onmyoji techniques on you. So yeah, you can say I'm happy."

(Maybe it's just my imagination, but I kinda feel a sense of relief in Yasuchika-san's voice)

Akihito-sama and I looked at each other and chuckled.

.................

After that, we were all busy with the post-war duties.

(Kurama said he wanted to fight Tamamo, so they disappeared off to somewhere....)

Yoichi: "Eehh...Already over? That means I came here all the way in a hurry for nothing?"

Morinaga: "Me too. Me too."

Benkei: "You were late. We have already safely checked on all the soldiers, other parts of the country, and whatnot."

Akihito: "But don't worry. There is plenty of post-war duties you can do."

Yoichi and Morinaga: "Haaaa...."

Sueharu: "What's with that perfect synchronized sigh coming out of two people of the enemy teams?"

The reinforcements sent by the Shogunate and the Rebels have arrived.

Along with the post-war clean-up progress was also made on the reconstruction of areas where civil war had occurred.

Morinaga: "Anyway, I'm glad to see Yoshino is safe."

Yoshino: "Thank you! Morinaga-san."

I am happy to see Morinaga-san's warm smile after a long time.

Akihito: "Yoshino, how are the people?"

Yoshino: "Yes. A lot of people have calmed down after a day."

Yoshino: "Most injured people allowed me to treat them when I convinced them myself that I'm a pharmacist."

Of the people who started the civil war, the main players were taken prisoner.

They are now being interrogated in turn by Yasuchika-san and Ibuki.

I asked Akihito-sama to allow me treat the injured among them.

Yoshino: "Of course, they say they started the civil war of their own volition but...."

Yoshino: "They are struggling with the reason why they got so mad."

(These are the people who were initially brainwashed by the curse using their insecurity and hardships in their lives)

(I hope they manage to avoid serious charges)

Akihito: "As for them, we intend to release those who show a willingness to surrender and impose a certain period of labour."

Akihito: "We need manpower for flood control projects to prevent floods from happening again."

Yoshino: "Wow, that's a lovely idea!"

Sueharu: "It's very kind of his Majesty to hire and look after the jobless."

Akihito: "I'm just sick of being cursed and cursing."

Akihito: "And if you don't rule by fear, there's nothing wrong with ingratiating yourself."

Akihito-sama gently strokes my hair.

Akihito: "I'm sure some people have softened their attitudes now that Yoshino has gone to nurse them."

Akihito: "Once again, I'm glad you're here."

(Akihito-sama....)

-----Options-----

I didn't really do much...(+4/+4)

I'm honored.

Really?

-------

Yoshino: "I didn't really do much..."

Akihito: "I'll take the credit for your modesty."

(I will continue to do the best I can)

Akihito: "I also seek to get advice from a connoisseur as well."

Akihito-sama's streaming eyes catch Sueharu-san.

Akihito: "Oh look. He's already here."

Sueharu: "....I'll help you as much as you want if you pay me."

Akihito: "Isn't it good, Sueharu. You and I are going to be friends for a long time."

Yoichi: "Benkei...he's taking our Sueharu away from us."

Benkei: "Yeah man? Why...."

Benkei: ".....Sueharu, will you come back to Hiraizumi for the celebration banquet, right?"

Sueharu: "Yes, yes, I don't want to be kidnapped again."

Morinaga: "Sueharu! Can I also----"

Sueharu: "No! I won't drink with YOU nor I'll play with YOU!"

----Part 4----

Sueharu: "No! I won't drink with YOU nor I'll play with YOU!"

Morinaga: "Awww."

(Sueharu-san doesn't seem to like Morinaga-san for some reason. I wonder how they know each other?)

Morinaga-san soon return to the topic without worrying much.

Morinaga: "Speaking of which the mastermind behind all this, Kujo, was taken into custody by Yoritomo-sama and Kagetoki."

Morinaga: "He also seems to have suddenly become 'hazy' at certain moments, as if 'the possession had fallen off'"

Benkei: "The curse amplified the original person's malice, didn't it? As for Kujo, there's not much room for sympathy."

Akihito: "I see, so----"

Akihito: "Around the time that Kujo was sitting there and inflicting ill-will on me, they were unfazed by it....."

Akihito: "That means Yoritomo didn't have any ill will towards me at all in the current situation."

Morinaga: "In Yoritomo-sama's case, it's unlikely that he would ever engage in politics or warfare based on personal feelings."

Yoichi: "On the contrary."

Yoichi: "Our Yoshitsune-sama is the best."

Akihito: "Of course, I'm grateful to Yoshitsune too."

Akihito-sama looked at everyone's face.

Akihito: "As for the peace between the Shogunate and the Rebels, I would like to proceed as before."

Akihito: "I want both armies to inform Yoritomo and Yoshitsune to that effect."

Sueharu: "Well, when both the Shogunate and the Rebels sent relief in a situation like this...."

Sueharu: "I suppose the answer is kind of obvious."

Everyone agreed with Sueharu, who shrugged his shoulders.

(Akihito-sama is about to start walking again towards the future)

(The Shogunate, the Rebels and the Imperial Court all encouraged it in their own ways)

Above all---I was sincerely happy that Akihito-sama chose the path of light of his own volition.

.................

Soon the sky is coloured in crimson....

Yoshino: "Ah, Sueharu-san!"

Sueharu: "Yoshino, why are you here?"

I saw Sueharu-san in the town and called out to him.

Yoshino: "I was told there was a medical emergency, so I came to town."

Yoshino: "It wasn't a big deal, thank goodness."

Sueharu: "Isn't it dangerous to go out at the wrong time of day, to a place you don't know, in a town where there was a civil war yesterday?"

Sueharu: "His Majesty will be worried. Did you tell him you were going out?"

Yoshino: "No, I didn't. He looked busy, so I left a note for him...."

Sueharu: "Haa...."

Sueharu-san sighs, but then smiles.

Sueharu: "Well, want me to take you home?"

Yoshino: "Yes! Thank you very much."

Yoshino: "I also wanted to thank Sueharu-san again, looks like it's just the right time."

Sueharu: "Thank me?"

Yoshino: ".....I made a weird request."

Sueharu: "..........."

(----At that time, I asked Sueharu-san for something)

-----FLASHBACK-----

Yoshino: "If I turn out to be real evil in the future and take the lives of so many for no reason..."

Yoshino: "....I want you to stop me."

Sueharu: "....!"

Sueharu: "----So you're making the poison for yourself."

Yoshino: "Yes. But if I change and I couldn't control myself."

Sueharu: "Why me? You could have asked someone else?"

Yoshino: "....Yasuchika-san loves Akihito-sama. He would hesitate to kill me because Akihito-sama loves me."

Yoshino: "Tamamo and everyone else in the Shogunate will feel burdened by such a request because of their connection with me."

Sueharu: "So you think I'm the only one who doesn't care about you?"

Yoshino: "Sueharu-san has the highest chance to kill me in the future for the Rebels. So I thought..."

Yoshino: "Sorry for making such a request."

Sueharu: "...You."

Sueharu: "So you've really made up your mind?"

----FLASHBACK ENDS----

Yoshino: "I was supported by the fact that Sueharu-san accepted my request."

Yoshino: "I'm glad I didn't get Sueharu-san's hands dirty in the end....but I really appreciate it.

Sueharu: "----I see."

Sueharu-san looks at me straight in the eye.

The sun setting behind him, made his image shine brightly and lit up Sueharu-san's one eye.

Sueharu: "But next time, if you want someone to kill you, don't ask me."

----Part 5----

Sueharu: "But next time, if you want someone to kill you, don't ask me."

(Eh?)

Yoshino: ".....Sorry. I know I was a burden to you."

Sueharu: "I mean it dammit.....Even then, I could never kill you."

Sueharu: "Your wish was impossible from the start."

Yoshino: "What...?"

Sueharu: "Yes. From the moment you told me you wanted me to kill you, the intensity of that desire took me unintentionally by surprise."

Sueharu-san gently touched my cheek.

Sueharu: "In return...I'll do any favor for you to stay alive."

(I thought Sueharu-san was a ruthless merchant and a calculated thinker....)

Yoshino: "....Thank you."

Yoshino: "I hope if there is any way I could help you in the future, Sueharu-san. Please let me know."

Sueharu: "Really? But...."

Yoshino: "Hm?"

A masculine sensuality ebbs from his smile.

Sueharu: "Sometimes when you want something so badly you never get it."

(What do you mean.....?)

Sueharu: "Anyways, let me take you home."

I hurriedly followed Sueharu-san who started to walk slower than usual.

......................

A few days later.....

Yoshino: "The post-war work is finally over."

Akihito: "Yeah. We can finally go back home."

Akihito-sama and I had a brief encounter after finishing our respective jobs.

(It's been a while since we relaxed like this)

I spilled a smile under the sunlight.

Then----

???: "Chichichi."

(Hm? Wait...)

When I looked up two small blue birds were flying happily.

Ruri: "Chichi!"

Yoshino: "Ruri!?"

Akihito: "Ah....."

Akihito-sama's eyes widened in surprise.

Akihito-sama did tell me that he set Ruri free out of force...

Yoshino: "But there are two...."

Akihito: "Partner? Or a friend...?"

When Ruri sits on Akihito-sama's shoulder.

She tweeted happily as if introducing the other little bird flying above our heads.

Akihito: "----Oh. I'm glad that you're not alone anymore, Ruri."

Akihito: "Sorry for what I did that day."

Ruri bites Akihito-sama's finger gently, which is held out to her, out of love.

She then flew and landed on my shoulder.

Yoshino: "....I'm happy for you, Ruri."

Yoshino: "Are you going away with the other bird?"

Ruri: "Pii."

Ruri rubs her head against my cheek, looking somewhat forlorn.

Then she flew high up to the other bird.

Yoshino: "---Bye, Ruri. I hope you live happily."

The two little blue birds swirl in the sky to say goodbye....

Eventually they flapped away with the wind.

Akihito: "I guess the little bird that plays in my palm is gone now."

Yoshino: "Are you sad?"

Akihito: "Yeah. But it doesn't feel-----unpleasant or lonely."

Akihito: "Even though we're apart, I know she can take care of herself."

Akihito: "...I'm glad that her last memory of me wasn't of me getting rid off her."

Yoshino: "I see...."

Yoshino: "I know that Ruri is important to you and I bet she feels the same way. I'm glad we were able to send her off happily."

(Ah.......)

Akihito-sama suddenly hugs me.

His soft lips touches mine and I sighed sweetly.

Yoshino: ".....Mm..."

My body heats up as he pecked my lips repeatedly and playfully.

Akihito-sama then whispered to my ear, when I lost all my strength.

Akihito: "From the moment we met, I thought your overly honest reactions were adorable."

Akihito: "---Once I tried to love you like you're a little bird with unusually beautiful wings."

Akihito: "I was hoping that by using the Kotodama game, you wouldn't be able to able to stay away from me."

Yoshino: "Is it different now?"

After thinking for a moment, Akihito-sama replies.

Akihito: "Now..."
