fic recs january 2021

hi guys!! okay so i got to thinking and i’ve seen a lot of these posts around so i made my own!! i think that fic rec masterposts are such a great way to support writers and get more people to have the chance of seeing fics!!! plus i’m leaving a bit of feedback too :))

if you know of any fics that you’d like to share a little love on / you’d like me to read so that i can reblog and give it a little love, send me an ask with the title and the author’s url!!!

so here it is, all the fics that i read in january 2021 (and the very end of december but i’m including them anyway)

total number of fics listed: 92 (series counted as a single piece)

@moonchildstyles

aster / tattoo artist harry aster | daffodil | sweet pea | gardenia | poppy

i read this entire series at like 8 am after not sleeping the night before and oh my god i was literally so soft!! like this is so fucking cute i literally felt like i was going to throw up the entire time (in the best way yk) like omg the butterflies i got from this series? unmatched. also, i feel that it’s necessary to add the part of this that made my heart absolutely explode: Harry’s thumb stroked her jawline, a smile molding his features. “Y’not a baby love, unless you want to be my baby. And I like you a lot, too. And stuff. like okay kill me <3

alright so h is literally so sweet in this one!! he’s so gentle and lovely and i truly fell in love with him in the very first few paragraphs. and he’s so out of tune with everything but he’s trying his best to understand and just... sigh. “I’d look forever for you, if I had to.” love love love this line so much it’s literally the perfect way to tie everything together

this is very creepy during the first chapter but in such a good way!!! i literally found myself gasping and i barely ever vocally react to a fic unless i am squealing at the fluff or crying but i vocally react to lindsee’s fics literally they are so good pleaseee. and omg the growth throughout this fic truly is impeccable i swear.

@gucciwins

adore you

okay this is so cute!!! loved every single word of it!!! there was a bit of angst at the very beginning that had my heart hurting but it was all mended by the end!!! the dad!harry content was absolutely immaculate omg i literally loved reading about atticus!!!!! i absolutely love long pieces and i think that this piece was the perfect length!! there were so many things that were packed in there but it didn’t seem rushed or jumbled or anything like that!!!!

@soysauceharry

watashi no sakura

okay first things first, i love japanrry in any form so i knew just by looking at the description that i was going to love this regardless of what was in it. to be honest i didn’t expect him to have a penny board that he used to get everywhere but there’s something so cute about that to me. throughout this entire fic, i was so amazed at the way that their relationship moved along so naturally and at such a good pace. i feel like there’s an art to making things move along at the right pace, and you definitely have that down!! i truly loved this fic so much and will probably be coming back at times to reread!

@havethetimeofyourstyles

143

i am very in love with this!!! boxer!h is so freaking yummy plus it’s so well written that i can feel everything, which is so amazing. i love that i’m able to feel all the emotions and picture everything while reading!! my heart broke a bit for harry while he was sad and just looking for love in any way he could find it. like mega sigh. also, i love the way that the characters are introduced. like, y/n doesn’t come at the very beginning but it’s so natural when she’s finally introduced. and omg the interactions that they had??? the reassurances??? *chef’s kiss*

baby, it’s cold outside

before i even started reading this, i knew i would love it!!! teacher!h has a special place in my heart for some reason i truly love him so much!! oh my god the yearning in this piece is so heartbreaking!!!! i literally read through the entire thing thinking that i was going to cry because of how much i could feel y/n and harry yearning for each other. sigh this is so cute i will definitely be rereading (most likely multiple times)

bright & blooming

ahhh this is literally so cute i live for the long distance friendships + only seeing each other over the summer!!! that is literally so amazing to me that you love someone that much to wait all year to only see them for a month!!! and this was such a good representation of the love and yearning that come with that!!! and i absolutely adore the way that you described each of them and their nicknames for each other!!!! love love love!!!

where the world takes you

this is my study abroad dream!!!!! the loveliness of them meeting and drunk!harry is just so sweet i love it so much!!! and the way that the flashback is in the middle and explains everything is so genius!!! and the full circle of it all makes me so happy!!! also the way that i cried at the end of the four months!! like that was heartbreaking but everything was pieced back together as it went along!!!

extra credit

this is prof!h so you know it’s great!!! i am such a sucker for this au i swear. this was so cute!! the way that everything progressed and the confession and the tension!!!! and then the “Yours.” at that one part had me screaming!!! and the way that he literally had a plan oh my god that’s so cute!!!! i love their dynamic so much!!!

deep sleep

this is so :) :( :) :( if that makes sense!! like i love love love dad!harry but there are just a few things that make me want to sob <3 i absolutely adore it though!!!!! it’s very sweet how mr. styles comes out here comforting as he should!!!!

beautiful inside & out

this is so sweet oh my god it’s beautifully written and i really felt everything that was going on!! personally, i’m not a person of color, but i think that this piece truly was written so wonderfully and it’s very lovely!!!! the insecurities made me literally want to cry, but the way that h was there to comfort was very nice, it made me so soft!!

admiring

this is so sweet!! the background snippet in there is so well done i love getting to know exactly how they met!!! and the way that harry’s being admired is just!!! so good!!!! like i love the descriptions and the feelings connected to that!!!! the entire thing is just so cute!!

for your eyes only

i shed tears reading this!! like it is so sad but also so happy!! i know that makes no sense but there was just a sense of my heart breaking and then it being put back together again and i love that!!! definitely a fantastic use of ‘if i could fly’ which is one of my fav one direction songs so that’s just a plus honestly!!!

@greenorangevioletgrass

to feel good

miss ava!!!! coming out strong with your first harry fic!!!! it’s so lovely, so pure, so sweet!!!! the memories that are included make everything that much better!!! the flashback really fills out everything nicely!!! the interaction that the two of them had at the end was so comforting to read like... that’s literally one of the most wonderful endings i’ve ever experienced on a fic like this!!!

@adashofniallandasprinkleoflunacy

demon!harry angel!y/n - a total of 51 blurbs, drabbles, and one-shots demon!y/n - a total of 8 blurbs, drabbles, and one-shots

yeah okay so there are...... a lot of things here so i’ll do a demon!harry + angel!y/n feedback thingy and a different one for demon!harry + demon!y/n demon!harry + angel!y/n: he’s such an asshole but he’s... already kinda turning soft like... he’s already got the little simp showing through!! “ When it comes to love, if it doesn’t hurt, it isn’t fun.” i’ll cry right here right now what the fuck is this?? sigh. “Tell me…” He gulps thickly, licking his burning lips in anticipation, “tell me you want me. Tell me this— whatever this is— tell me it’s real.” yeah that made me almost scream literally shut up andrea. also not me reading this and literally sobbing at some of the pieces like... no <3 “I promise on my soul— as damned as it may be— that I will not let anything bad happen to you. I swear.” i literally want to set myself on fire what the hell the things your brain comes up with literally what the fuck. i literally read all 51 pieces in a day and cried a million times but they were just because i’m soft for simprry. demon!harry + demon!y/n: okay so i am writing this after i’ve read the first two pieces and.... that escalated quite quickly i would say!!! if you like smut, you’ll like this!!!!!! if you like smut just go to andrea she’s got you!!!!! and we see some more simprry but not full swing because he doesn’t want to admit that he’s wrapped around her finger!!! and the way they’re not exclusive but they’re each other’s? *chef’s kiss*

@jawllines

harry is the bad boy cliché of y/n’s dreams, she just doesn’t know it yet

this is so very sweet, so very soft!! all the pet names have me crying omg it’s literally one of the cutest things!!!! the way harry is so soft for her and he’s just so sweet and so obvious about his feelings even though she doesn’t completely see it is so sweet!!!!

harry’s a porn star and y/n is new

i love their dynamic here!! they automatically click and everything between them is so genuine and lovely!!! the way that they care about each other so immensely even though they haven’t known each other that long is so beautiful!!

harry is y/n’s dominant

okay obviously this is like... smut but it’s so much more than that!!! their relationship is so sweet and lowkey domestic even from the very beginning and i love the trust that they have in each other!!! very cute!! and the ending was so so perfect!!!

y/n works in a roller rink and harry goes there to read

literally so sweet!!! the shy, kinda introverted h is to ide for!!!! and the way that they’re so cute together ahhh!!!!!! and i absolutely love the way that they support each other and are falling for each other before they even admit that they are!!!!

harry’s a vampire and y/n never dresses for the weather

i love how when they met it wasn’t on great terms and he couldn’t get her off his mind so he was like “no, stay away!” but he was already so whipped for her and then!!!! when he asked how to be warm for her??? that made me so soft i literally thought i was going to cry.

harry and y/n are best friends and y/n isn’t his “type” (or so she’s heard)

this is so absolutely soft!!! they’re so whipped for each other and don’t even know it!!! and miss y/n hearing things made my heart break but all was well at the end!!! love love love!!! the entire dynamic that they have is so fun plus there were peeks of jealous h so that’s always a win!!!

y/n and harry don’t really mesh well, until they do

we love a bit of an enemies to lovers moment!! and the whole “y/n’s being a good friend to jeff, that’s it” and the tension and the drunk cuteness and literally all of it, it’s so wonderful!! harry being a softie is one of my weaknesses and although he’s a bit mean at first, he redeems himself!!

harry’s on the football team and y/n steals a dog

this is absolutely so cute!!! y/n has such a beautiful little personality and harry feeling things with her even though his “reputation” is different than hanging out with people like her is so great!! and the way that he takes up for her and the way that she comforts him is so lovely!!

harry is y/n’s grumpy neighbor and he has a secret part 2

this is actually the second time that i’ve read this fic tbh!! it’s just so good!! the dynamic of him trying to stay away from her because it’s dangerous for her to be too close to him and then him trying even harder to stay away from her and hide his feelings only for her to make a move is golden.

y/n pretends to be harry’s girlfriend

okay this one hurt a bit at first. i wanted to flick h in the forehead at first for trying to make someone else jealous with y/n but he redeemed himself as he does so i shall let him off the hook this time haha. i think that the way that they progress is so sweet plus!!! everyone loves a good fake dating au!!!

werewolves exist... pt. 2

this is the first werewolf au i’ve read in a while and it’s actually really good!! i love how everything progressed and the way that harry was like.... this isn’t supposed to happen like this!!!! it’s all very cute and it’s very enemies to lovers-esque even though they aren’t enemies lmao

y/n delivers sweets and harry lives on the side of a mountain

this made me so sad tbh like... the fact that they treated harry so bad just because they judged him before they know him makes me so sad and i really wanted to punch some people but it’s a fictional universe so i can’t actually do that lol. but the way that y/n was with him made me so soft i really love this piece

y/n is on harry’s tour crew and harry just think’s she’s lovely

y/n is so sweet in this piece!!! it makes my heart hurt when harry gets overwhelmed and snaps but thankfully everything is well in the end and he gets his act together so that he can realize what is truly important!!!

harry is y/n’s criminology instructor part 2

this dynamic is an automatic yes and that’s on my love for this au. anyway, the way that he was like “it’s just a kiss” made me absolutely want to scream but i didn’t and thankfully i didn’t write him off as a prick because he’s actually so sweet and he takes care of her and loves her and just... he’s everything.

harry used y/n as a model for his art final

i wanted to smack harry upside the head so hard when he kept talking about his crush when y/n just wanted a good partner. thankfully he finally saw the light and realized that the only thing he wants is y/n by his side because y/n is there for him and cares about him and loves him

Choi Twins Fluff Shot

Hello! I’m going through my GDrive and uploading all the pieces that I wrote for apps and then never posted.

Here’s a domestic fluff bit I did for 707/MC happily ever after + recovering Saeran Choi. One big happy family (and one horrifying energy drink, courtesy of SevenStar).

Read it here or below the cut:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/19781359

Saeyoung slides through the glass door of the patio in his best secret-agent strut, balancing a tray while he closes the door with a pop of his hip. He tracks the location of the sun, careful not to give himself away as he sneaks up on his targets. It would hardly do for a shadow to spoil his little surprise. Luckily, he’s had plenty of practice, honing his skills over years of trying to reach his beloved Elly. And these targets?

Well, they’re too busy being adorable to notice their stalker. On a scale from toddler to Jumin, they’re definitely on the Pre-K side. He nearly gives himself away with an indulgent snicker.

His beloved and his dearly loved are crouched on all fours, butts in the air in their very best impression of two overly invested toddler-kittens. The love of his life exhales softly, whole body attuned to the wonder of new life as Saeran strokes a newly sprouted seedling, their new latitude allowing them to micromanage the latest additions to the family herb garden. It’s like watching the world’s cutest nature documentary.

He slowly lowers the tray and removes a chilled glass, leaf-patterned sides already starting to sweat in the early afternoon sun. He extends the glass slowly and smoothly, a smirk lazily spreading over his face. Target acquired. Mission accepted.

Three.

Two.

One.

“KYAAAHHHH”

She jumps backwards as the glass touches her flushed skin and the momentum throws her backwards, where Saeyoung is waiting with mirth-creased eyes and open arms. He traps her in loose arms as she flails about, peppering soft kisses to her sun-reddened skin.

Almost as if he planned this.

Nestled in his lap, she turns and squints in mock outrage while lightly swatting her lover’s arm.

“Saeyoung! How dar-”

Her fake tirade is cut off by a wonderful, and increasingly common sound: the soft, huffing laugh of the gentler Choi.

Saeyoung and his bride look over in unison at their dearest brother, who is holding himself and rocking lightly backwards and forwards in mostly silent glee, still kneeling on the paving stones. He wipes a tear from his eye and tries to explain, only to be overcome by another, louder fit of giggles.

“So-sorry! I just…”

The giggles prove to be infectious. Soon all three Choi’s are in a pile of loose limbs and nonsensical laughs. Saeran tries again:

“I...oh. You should have seen your face! And his! It-It almost looked like you were going to pee-”

“Wha-? No! Saeran, you can’t just- ahhh, you’re going to kill me!”

Her attempt at a rebuke is somewhat undercut by the new wave of laughs that wrack her and the fact that, now that she thinks about it, she does kind of need to use the restroom. Saeyoung tugs her face towards his and peers into her eyes, which are still full of jubilant tears.

“Oh! I see- oh-- who knew my darling could be so alluring, even when filled to the brim with uri-”

She bites his finger playfully and throws her hands over his mouth.

“Oh no you don't! You two are incorrigible!”

She does her best to extricate herself gracefully from the pile of limbs, summoning her inner Jumin in an attempt to regain some dignity. The boys sure don’t make it easy. She smooths out her skirt and looks down with false modesty.

“Now, in unrelated news: please excuse me.”

The twins double over in laughter as their newest family member positively speed walks into the house, managing to make even the clang of the door somehow cute.

When she emerges a few minutes later, it is to an animated argument between her two favorite men. She folds her legs underneath her and neatly plops into a schoolgirl sit, propping her flushed face up with the backs of her hands. She looks from one twin to the other, marveling once again at how similar, yet different they are. Saeran is clutching his throat, looking like a man who has narrowly avoided murder, while Saeyoung bats his eyelashes in his best approximation of innocence.

Suspicious.

She narrows her eyes at her husband while using one hand to gently ruffle Saeran’s hair.

“Saeyoung…darling…what did you do?”

Saeyoung gives her his best magical girl wink while holding out a glass of seemingly innocuous lemonade and fluttering his lashes. She reaches out a cautious hand and takes the glass. The lemonade sure looks good…

Saeran reaches towards her, gasping, just as Saeyoung hits him in the face with a rolled up shirt.

“Don’t do it! It’s-”

“Hush now, little brother.”

She stops, the glass centimeters from her lips. It...doesn’t smell how she expected. Between that and Saeran’s theatrics, she is concerned. She mentally raises the Choi Boy Threat Level.

“Saeyoung? Love of my life? Oxygen of my spaceship?”

“Yeeeeeeeess?”

“What is this?”

He twists in glee, doing an impressive impression of his emote from the messenger. She can practically see the heart emojis in his eyes.

“A super special drink that I made, just for us!”

She closes her eyes, like a woman going to her grave, and takes a sip.

So brave.

She...she’s not sure how she feels about the drink. There’s a lot of unpack flavorwise, and that’s not even counting texture, which, up until now, she never thought applied to drinks. She’s suddenly, horrifically sure that this is the newest permutation of SevenStar Energy Drink.

She opens her eyes and tries to marshal her warring taste buds into something resembling consensus. Saeyoung is looking at her over the rims of his glasses, smiling in soft anticipation. Saeran is rolling on the ground as if fighting for his life and seems to be reciting the ‘Et, tu?’ speech from Julius Caesar.

“So? What do you think? Groundbreaking, right?”

She nods, “Definitely groundbreaking.”

Groundbreaking like a bunker-buster missile, or an earthquake, or a meteor strike.

Saeyoung punches up into the sky in the universal signal of triumph and plants a wet kiss on her cheek before reaching over to poke Saeran’s tummy.

“See? I told you!”

Saeran looks up at his sister-in-law in wounded betrayal.

You were the chosen one.

“She’s clearly gone crazy, either from love or prolonged taste-bud abuse! You cannot give that to unsuspecting people and call it lemonade! I’m pretty sure it’s a war crime.”

Saeyoung pouts as he pours himself a refreshing glass of FourteenStar LemonGammaBurst.*

“I spent all morning slaving over a hot stove, all to bring out a delicious drink for my dearest brother and wife. And this is the thanks I get!”

He wipes away a fake tear and sips on his concoction.

Saeran and the beloved wife share a confused look.

“Wait, why would you bring a stove into this? How- how does a stove get used in making lemonade? What exactly did you do?”

It turns out, a better question might have been what he hadn’t done. There was molecular gastronomy. There was a mishap with dry ice. There was ritual doll sacrifice and the drawing of sugar pentagrams. General mayhap that leaves Saeran terrified of the sticky mess that is no doubt waiting on their once-pristine stove.

For now though, they ignore the mess waiting inside, and instead, try to choke down Seven’s admittedly...unique...take on lemonade. They sit together on the still-warm pavers of their small side yard as the sun hangs lazily in the sky, sharing soft words and hopes for the future of the little herb garden that they’ve poured so much love into. They’re happy, they’re hopeful, they’re saved.

And there’s not a daffodil in sight.

*This drink is illegal in all UN signatory countries, and giving it to prisoners is considered a war crime in 7.

They can only hold hands, but for Britain's elderly, first touch with a relative 'means everything' “Hello my darling,” he says. “Do you know who I am? I’m David.” Before even putting down his bags, David sits on Sheila’s bed, next to her armchair, and holds her hand — for only the second time since the pandemic came to Britain. The response from Sheila, his wife of 55 years, is impossible to read. She has advanced dementia and she rarely speaks. “It’s a long time since I’ve seen you,” he tells her. “That’s because of this Covid thing.” Throughout the pandemic, Sheila was cut off from everyone who loved her because Britain’s nursing and care homes have largely remained closed to visitors. Now the UK’s vaccine rollout has made an incremental but significant change possible. Each resident in England is allowed one designated, indoor visitor. CNN received permission to observe some of the first moments where people in care were reunited with loved ones. David gives Sheila daffodils from their garden. He inspects her fingernails to see if they need to be trimmed. He tells her that their three sons love and miss her. Often, he just looks at her silently while stroking her forearm with a gloved hand. They met when they were both teachers at neighboring schools. Sheila is now 81. “She was always very sociable,” David recalls. “Outgoing and happy and fulfilled with home and her family.” David is satisfied there is no obvious decline in her condition but says he cannot know what she was thinking and feeling during their long time apart. Visitors must record a negative Covid-19 test result immediately before entering the home and wear personal protective equipment (PPE) throughout the visit. Hugging and kissing are forbidden. David says just being able to hold hands is a huge improvement for Sheila’s quality of life. “One of the few ways that she can show her feelings, really,” he says. “I think you’ve got to be grateful for what you’ve got.” One town over in Bexhill, in one of the many care homes along this stretch of England’s southern coast, Renee Dolan, 86, waits anxiously for her granddaughter. Suddenly Sara Agliata rounds the corner and two big smiles light up the room. “Nan! Ahhh!” cries Sara. “Oh, thank you darling,” Renee says, receiving a bouquet of flowers. “You’ve had to come in all this plastic.” “I know, I know,” Sara laughs. “You can hear me coming.” Her grandmother grips her hand tightly. With the other, she places a kiss on her cheek. “Oh, you’re not allowed to kiss me,” Sara says gently. For the next half hour their hands stay locked together, and a lively conversation flows from great grandkids to Harry and Meghan’s recent interview. At times, Renee is overwhelmed with emotion and struggles to explain how important this moment is. “It’s so nice seeing you. It’s [been] a long time,” she says, sobbing. Her granddaughter assures her: “I’m going to come back next week as well.” Renee’s husband died at 47. She spent decades living alone in central London and is now experiencing early dementia. “She’s an extremely independent person that does love her family, and likes to be around them,” Sara says. “She likes to be around people.” Renee is grateful for the comfort of holding hands — “it means everything to me, everything” — but she hopes for more. “It’s just a shame we can’t hug yet,” she says. “But it won’t be long, will it?” Outside Eastbourne’s Manor Hall Nursing Home, a group of residents is slowly but excitedly boarding a mini bus. This is the first time they are allowed to leave the building and its small courtyard since last summer. The excursion opens with a drive through the rolling, green hills of the South Downs National Park. “We’ve waited a long time for this, haven’t we? Beautiful,” says George Baulch, 87, smiling out of the window. The bus soon stops at a public garden by the seaside. The residents decamp to benches. Their carers hand out blankets, cups of tea and snacks. There are smiles and laughter and much grousing about the early spring chill. Someone makes a saucy joke about the size of a banana. This is the most freedom they’ve experienced in a long time. “You come here and you realize how big England is,” George says with a laugh. The elderly have sacrificed more freedoms than most during the pandemic, and more than half of Covid-19 deaths in England and Wales last year were from those over 80. They were prioritized in the UK’s vaccine rollout from December and first doses have now been delivered to 99.9% of England’s nursing and care homes, according to the country’s National Health Service. Around 23 million people in total across the UK have now received a first vaccine shot. That protection is allowing modest changes, the possibility of hope and glimpses of a post-Covid future. “We’ve been locked up for weeks and weeks and weeks,” George says. “[I] never thought it was going to happen again for us. And now we’re here.” CNN’s Darren Bull and Matt Brealey contributed to this report. Source link Orbem News #Britains #elderly #Hands #Hold #means #relative #touch

Shae (@fateful-wings ) & Emmelia (mine!) supports!

C Support

Shae: Ah… okay, I think this is the right person. U-um excuse me, are you Emmelia by chance?

Emmelia: … Hm? Oh, yes, I am! You’re… Shae, right? What can I help you with? *smiles*

Shae: U-um, was it your bow that went missing from the armory recently? There aren’t too many who use one all the time so I’ve been asking around to make sure.

Emmelia: Oh! Yes! I’ve been looking everywhere for it! I leave it in the armory one time by mistake and it goes missing… what bad luck, huh? *chuckles*

Emmelia: Did you happen to find it? It has woven patterns carved in it, so it’s pretty easy to tell if it’s mine.

Shae: Oh dear. Well, the thing with your bow… Um, it didn’t so much go missing as much as I had taken it by accident.

Shae: I’m really sorry about taking it! It’s just there was going to be a battle soon and I didn’t have mine on hand! Yours just happened to be the first one I grabbed before we left…

Emmelia: Ah, don’t worry about it! When you’re in a rush, you gotta grab what you can! No harm, no foul. I’m just excited to get it back, the one I have been using in its place just doesn’t feel the same.

Shae: Y-yeah? Oh no… um well, I really can’t give you back the original one. I was caught off-guard by one of the enemy troops and they damaged it pretty badly. I’m so sorry if it was important to you, I didn’t mean to break it!

Emmelia: … Oh. That’s. A little sad. I mean, I’m glad you are alright because my bow isn’t a living person… this might sound weird, but did you happen to bring the pieces back with you?

Shae: Huh? O-oh yes, they’re just not on me at the moment. I tried to salvage what I could and have them with some of my other things right now. I can go get them, but first I wanted to give you this.

Shae: I felt really bad for breaking your bow so after everything was settled back down, I made a trip to a person I worked for that’s pretty good at making them to see if there was anything that could be done to fix it. There wasn’t, so I asked if he could make one that was like it.

Emmelia: Really? I really appreciate that, but you didn’t have to go and do that! Accidents happen and I’m just glad it served you well while you had it. I’m a little sad for personal reasons, but a bow is a bow.

Emmelia: I won’t say no to a new bow though, how much do I owe your friend for it?

Shae: Don’t worry about payment, I already took care of that. This is more of an apology gift, so you don’t owe anything for it. I know it can’t replace the other one, but I hope it’ll be an alright one for you to use.

Shae: Oh right! Do you want me to get your other bow now?

Emmelia: Are you sure? I do really appreciate it… the bow I’ve been using is a spare so it’s all kinds of wonky.

Emmelia: Oh, if you have the time to grab it for me. I want to see if I can salvage some of the wood… maybe turn it into something else. It’s been through a lot with me, so I’d like to keep it in some way.

Shae: I can understand that feeling. Alright, I’ll go get it for you right now, just wait right here a minute.

B Support

Emmelia: Ughhh, how did I manage to miss breakfast in the mess? I even woke up relatively early today.

Emmelia: Maybe I can find some extra stuff around camp? Acting like… some sort of opossum.

Shae: Hm? Oh, good morning Emmelia. Um… is everything alright? You seem to be looking around pretty hard for something.

Emmelia: Ahhh, morning Shae. Well… *chuckles nervously* I’m looking around for possible extra snacks. I missed breakfast in the mess today and I’m really feeling it now.

Emmelia: It’s my own fault for sleeping in, but man. Still sucks.

Emmelia: Did you manage to make it to breakfast this morning?

Shae: Yeah, it was a bit hectic over there earlier. I grabbed a couple small things but I got away from there pretty quick because the crowd got a little too big for me.

Shae: You said you missed breakfast though? That’s not good… well, I might be able to help you out a little. Are you looking for anything in particular?

Emmelia: Yeah, I usually just grab some stuff and leave too. The army is way too big for all of us to sit in there at once.

Emmelia: Honestly, I could go for some fruit -- you can never go wrong with a peach! If you could help me find one, you’d be a lifesaver! Well… a stomach saver at the very least.

Shae: Peaches huh? Hm… how many did… oh! I actually may be able to help with getting one or two, I mean if you don’t mind them being from a day or two ago.

Emmelia: Woah, seriously? I don’t mind at all! They’re my all time favorite!

Shae: Oh, really? Haha, I guess we’re both in luck again. You see, the other day I had found a merchant actually selling them so I kind of bought their whole basket. I didn’t really realize there were way too many for one person until I got back, so I was a bit worried about them going bad.

Shae: I’ve managed to use most of them, but I have a couple extra I can give you. I asked Lady/Lord Corrin if I could keep them in the kitchen, so they should still be there. From the looks of it too, most of the people might have left by now.

Emmelia: I will more than gladly take some of them off your hands! I’ll owe you big time for this. Do you like baked goods? I’ll happily bake you something in return! I can make most things with all the stuff available in the mess…

Emmelia: We just gotta “sneak” in during down times so that others won’t hover.

Shae: I do really like baked goods, so that sounds good to me. I’m glad I can give some of them to someone who likes them so much, I was worried they would go to waste.

Shae: Hey Emmelia, I hope you don’t mind me asking but when did you gain a love for peaches? I know they’re really hard to find in Nohr, even I didn’t start seeing them until a few years ago, and that was near the border. It just seems like a rare food to like around Nohr is all.

Emmelia: Great! Think about what you’d want and I’ll start rounding up the supplies.

Emmelia: Hm, well. It was a long while ago, actually. My Dad has a lot of connections to merchants from his days as a Guard, so he would definitely use them whenever he could. That usually meant that we’d luck out and get things from Hoshido that the average middle-of-no-where village couldn’t get their hands on.

Emmelia: Mind you, it was still rare to get fruits and other perishables, but when we did. It was usually one of my happiest days.

Emmelia: What about you, Shae? Any foods that you love a lot, even if it’s hard to get?

Shae: I see. That’s amazing that your dad was able to do that, and it sounds like you all enjoyed when those kinds of things arrived. I sometimes wish I could have experienced some of Hoshido’s foods growing up as well, because I’ve actually taken quite a liking to their fish and seafood dishes in the past couple years and I feel like I’ve missed out of some great foods growing up.

Shae: Hey, I think I know what would be nice to bake. Your talk of peaches suddenly made me wanting a peach pie, and I’m pretty sure there would be enough after you had a couple for breakfast.

Emmelia: Oh man, their seafood is so good! Who’d have thought joining a war would let you taste so much different foods? And, well, maybe you didn’t get a chance to taste them growing up, but you can taste them now! Better late than never, right? *smiles*

Emmelia: I like the way you think! I can whip up a pretty good peach pie for you, no problem. I’ll even make them mini single ones, so that you can easily eat them for snacks with less of a mess.

A Support

Shae: Oh, hi there Emmelia! Are you free right now? I’ve been wanting to ask you something for a little while now.

Emmelia: Shae! Hey! Yeah, I’m free. I just finished helping with some stocking and stuff.

Emmelia: I’d be happy to answer anything I can for you. *grins*

Shae: Well, I keep noticing the flower in your hair and I was wondering where you got it from? Like, does it have some special meaning or something or is it just because you think it’s pretty? N-not that it just being pretty isn’t a good enough reason to have it th-though!

Emmelia: My flower? Ahh, well, it doesn’t really have a special meaning, per-se… it’s just my favorite type of flower! It was from my mother’s garden and she dipped it in a special resin for me so I could wear it.

Emmelia: : I just really love daffodils… *giggles* just because I think they’re pretty. I could make one for you if you’d like?

Shae: Ah, maybe some other time? Daffodils are really nice, I agree with you on that. Sorry for the random question, it’s just that when I was growing up the grounds around my village weren’t really suited for that kind of plant. I didn’t really start seeing flowers around more until I left home, so I still get a little surprised when I see them around.

Shae: Recently I’ve been asking local people who sell flowers about them and apparently there’s like a whole sort of language surrounding them? I didn’t know they had meanings like that, did you?

Emmelia: Really? I’m sorry you didn’t get the chance to grow up around flowers. My Mother always had a garden filled with them, so its hard to imagine my childhood without them. Maybe after the war, you can find a beautiful little spot to plant any type of flower you want.

Emmelia: And I did know! Well… not a whole lot of the meanings, really. Just the basic ones, like roses meaning different types of love and what flowers are best for mourning. Can the meanings get that extensive?

Shae: I guess from what the one lady I talked to said, like every flower has a meaning or maybe even multiples! She tried to go into more detail but I couldn’t wrap my head around half of what she was saying… I think she noticed too because she suddenly just started pointing out easier flowers and meaning all the sudden, like roses that you mentioned.

Shae: I wonder… instead of waiting until after the war, do you think maybe I could try out a flower garden here in camp if Lady/Lord Corrin is okay with it? It just feels like growing them hands-on might help me learn about them more maybe?

Emmelia: That's a lovely idea! It would really boost everyone’s morale too, seeing brightly colored flowers everyday. If you’d like, I’d happily help you with it. We’d just need to find different seeds and bulbs, and find a good spot that has different types of sunlight.

Emmelia: I have a feeling Corrin would be excited about it!

Shae: You think so? Maybe they’re free right now so I could go ask them about it. It would be fun to start one out right away, and that lady I talked to might have some stuff for growing that it could start out with!

Shae: O-okay, I’m gonna go see if Lady/Lord Corrin’s okay with this! If they let me start one, I can go see that lady for some flowers to start out with! Um… would you maybe help me with planting if this whole thing gets started today?

Emmelia: Of course! I can start looking around for a good area if you’d like? The more sunlight variety we can have, the more types of flowers we can plant!

Shae: Right! Alrighty, let’s see what Lady/Lord Corrin thinks!

//scene fades out//

Shae: Well, I think that’s the last of the seeds and bulbs planted! I didn’t think that lady would be willing to sell me so many, but it seems this spot you found is plenty big enough for them!

Emmelia: Wonderful! I’m so excited to watch them grow! We should get the daisies pretty quickly, but the wait will be more than worth it for the others. Everyone is going to love them… I think especially Lord/Lady Corrin and Lady Elise.

Emmelia: Always good to have some color in our lives.

Emmelia: Oh Shae, this was such a wonderful idea you had!

Shae: A-ah, th-thank you… though you had a part in it too for mentioning gardens in the first place. Oh! Before I forget about them, while I was getting all the stuff for the garden I happened to mention to her that a friend really liked daffodils, and she wrapped up a few that she had wrapped and let me have them.

Shae: I figured you really like them, s-so you do want them? They’re a different color than the one in your hair is the only thing.

Emmelia: Ah, I just helped a little…

Emmelia: *pleased gasp* Oh! How pretty! Don’t worry about the color, I love all types of daffodils! These will be so lovely in my quarters… thank you so much.

Emmelia: You’ve been giving me a lot of things recently, I’ve noticed. I have to return the favor one day. Maybe I can make you some lunch tomorrow? We can tend the garden and eat it when we take a break.

Shae: Haha, I just really like giving things to friends is all. Lunch after taking care of the garden sounds really nice though! I look forward to it!

S Support

Emmelia: Oh! Oh Shae, look! Some of the daisies are sprouting. Those two weeks of maintenance really paid off.

Emmelia: Ahh, it's so cute! I know it's just a little green sprout, but… it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

Shae: H-huh? Oh yeah, look at them popping up! Yeah, it’s been such a great experience watching this garden come to life, even if it does take a while. N-not that I mind though, I’ve really enjoyed spending all this time tending it with you…

Shae: I know you’re probably sick of me thanking you for doing this with me, but I really am grateful you’ve been here with me for these past couple weeks…

Emmelia: I’ve really loved doing this with you too. It’s nice to spend all the time we have together, tending this garden and just enjoying each other’s company. If anything, I should be thanking you just as many times as you’ve thanked me! *chuckles*

Emmelia: But, don’t you worry - I could never be sick of you.

Shae: R-really? Oh wow, hearing you say something like that… I was starting to get worried that maybe I was coming off as a little clingy with wanting to spend time with you. It’s hard for me to be close with others like this a lot because I worry about how I come off, so I-I’m glad I haven’t done something to push you away.

Shae: Ah! I’m sorry for that bit of rambling… I didn’t mean for all of that to come out…

Emmelia: *giggles* It’s OK sweetheart! I understand what you mean. I like it when you ramble, because that gets you to open up more! Hopefully one day you can just ramble around me and not worry about apologizing… because I’d like that a lot.

Emmelia: I love when you ramble and I love when we share comfortable silence. And, of course, I love… u-um…

Emmelia: *coughs* Spending time like this with you. Y-Yeah.

Shae: … A-ah… what if I told you that I wanted t-to keep spending time with you like this… that I d-don’t want moments like this with you to end… and not just keep making moments like this, but all sorts of different kinds together?

Emmelia: That sounds wonderful… I’d like that very much. I had hoped we could be close for a very long time, even when the war ends, but I thought it might be difficult.

Emmelia: What did you have in mind?

Shae: Emmelia, I… r-really li- no, that’s not the right word. I… I… *gulp*

Shae: E-Emmelia, I l-love you! I love you and want to g-give you this ring to show that I want to be with you! Y-you don’t have to take it if you d-don’t want to though!

Emmelia: !!!

Emmelia: Shae! I -- *inhales* Of course I want it! Gods, I love you too… so much. You make me so happy and calm and I want to be with you, too! I want to be with you very much. I had thought that maybe you’d only want to stay friends.

Emmelia: So, I’m… I’m so… ugh, I’m sorry, I’m getting a bit teary. How embarrassing. *embarrassed chuckle*

Shae: N-no no, don’t be s-sorry! I-I’m honestly trying to n-not bawl r-right no- *sob*

Shae: E-Emmelia, I’m so h-happy… I may not h-have much but I-I’ll do everything I can to make every day bright a-and happy for y-you!

Emmelia: Just being with you makes me so, so happy. I’m so excited to watch this garden grow with you, and have a happy future with you from here on out. We’ll make eachother happy… I just know it.
