The 12 Nights of Christmas: Day 8:
Tumblr media
Aaaand there we go!
Tumblr media
Nyeh! Furisode sleeves are so long!
Tumblr media
It really pleases me that we all have the chance to go to the shrines this year, and wearing kimono’s no less.
Tumblr media
Hehe! You can say that again. Tenko helping us dress is just the cherry on top!
Tumblr media
There you go Miu! You’re ready too now! Does it feel nice?
Tumblr media
I dunno...I don’t think this is my kinda style.
Tumblr media
Don’t be so dour! You look super cute!
Tumblr media
Well...thanks I guess. Same to you.
Tumblr media
Yeah! You look super cute, so don’t worry about it!
Tumblr media
I didn’t know you knew how to put on Kimono’s Tenko. I was pretty surprised when you offered to do it in Kirumi’s stead.
Tumblr media
Well, when I was training with my master, we dueled at a shrine, so we wore battle style kimono’s during training.
Tumblr media
It’s not the same as furisode of course, but it’s similar enough, so I know how the straps are, and how to readjust them to fit each person’s size. I can do yukata too!
Tumblr media
Alright Maki, you’re the last one up! 
Tumblr media
You’re really going to make me wear this?
Tumblr media
What’s wrong with it?
Tumblr media
Nothing...don’t worry about it, just...
Tumblr media
I’m in your hands Tenko. 
Tumblr media
Alright! Don’t worry, I want this new years celebration to end without any bad memories!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then you fold the sash...into a bow like this...Done!
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
*gaps!* Maki, you look gorgeous! Take a look in the mirror, quick!
*Maki takes a look at herself in the mirror.
Tumblr media
So? What do you think?
Tumblr media
Hm...it’s acceptable...
Tumblr media
That means she loves it.
Tumblr media
Yeah!
*Tenko and Kaede whisper this to each other, much to Maki’s annoyance.
Tumblr media
Yeah, it’s good. Thank you Tenko.
Tumblr media
It definitely feels like Tenko gave us all that princess feeling.
Tumblr media
It’s what you all deserve, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart!
Tumblr media
Just leave it to a local girl like me to turn all you girls into pretty princesses.
Tumblr media
You say that, but...you don’t really look like any local girl right now.
Tumblr media
I don’t? Why not?
Tumblr media
You look far too exquisite in your kimono.
Tumblr media
Exquisite ain’t the word I’d use, but yeah, I agree.
Tumblr media
I think you look good too.
Tumblr media
H-Hey, come on what’s with this spring of compliments all of a sudden!?
Tumblr media
You’re adorable when you blush~
Tumblr media
Oh come on, now you’re just teasing me! Let’s go already.
Tumblr media
Yeah. The boys are waiting for us, no doubt. 
Tumblr media
...!
*Kaede suddenly quickly hears her phone vibrate in her pocket, so she takes it out and reads a text message on it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hehe...
*She texts him back.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What’s that about?
Tumblr media
Oh, I guess I didn’t mention it to you. I told everyone else but you hadn’t shown up.
Tumblr media
We’ll meet back up at the end of the day of course, before the New Year countdown, but for today, Shuichi and I agreed to go around together, with Maki and Kaito.
Tumblr media
Oh, is that right? Hmph. Alright, you do you. Just don’t go having too much fun.
Tumblr media
Sorry, I know it’s selfish. Thanks for understanding.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So...where are they again?
Tumblr media
Shuichi told me that they were waiting for us at the Torii...Ah, there they are!
Tumblr media
Hey!
*Kaede spots Kaito and Shuichi, both wearing their Montsuki’s, standing next to the gate.
Tumblr media
Good to see you guys. Man, Tenko did a good job with those Kimono’s! I love your hair Maki Roll.
Tumblr media
Yours looks silly.
Tumblr media
You say that when I style it how I normally do. I can’t figure out your standards.
Tumblr media
H-Hey.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
...I...like your outfit.
Tumblr media
...Thanks...
Tumblr media
Do I...look weird?
Tumblr media
No, not at all!
Tumblr media
All right you lovebugs, let’s save the flirting for later.
Tumblr media
Yeah, I agree. Let’s go.
Tumblr media
*sigh* Alright, alright.
Tumblr media
Yeah! Let’s go!
Tumblr media
*The group goes amongst the mix of stalls and explore the variety of entertainment that the celebration has to offer.
Tumblr media
Man. It really feels surreal when you think about how the end of the year is only a few hours away. 
Tumblr media
Yeah, and if you use your head, you’ll realize it’s only 364 days until the next one.
Tumblr media
Is that supposed to me making fun of me? I’m smart enough to do math, you know?
Tumblr media
Hahaha!
Tumblr media
Kaede, don’t laugh, you just make it worse!
Tumblr media
Sorry, sorry. I just like the playful banter that goes on between you two.
Tumblr media
Kaito does have a point though. It sounds silly, but I get the feeling I’m going to refer to the wrong year for a while.
Tumblr media
Well, I’ve got an idea. If we’re back in time this evening, why don’t we have a party? You know, to switch gears?
Tumblr media
You’re just an endless source of entertainment, aren’t you Kaede?
Tumblr media
That’s what I try to be!
Tumblr media
Alright then. We have another 3 hours until the new year, so we should probably think of something to do in the meantime.
Tumblr media
Well, we should probably find something to eat first...oh, but we should also probably pay our respects to the shrine.
Tumblr media
Let’s pay our respects first. It’ll probably take us a while to decide what we want to eat, so this would be faster.
Tumblr media
I agree.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
Kaede?
Tumblr media
Pay respects...right...
Tumblr media
Kaede? You ok?
Tumblr media
Huh? Yeah, I’m fine...it’s just...
Tumblr media
I remembered that there’s something I needed to do while we’re here.

Kat’s Shidge Fic Recs
Woohoo! Since I’ve been slow to update some of my own fics, I wanted to share the fics I’ve read in the past few months. All of these are AO3 fics for your convenience - make sure to give them lots of love! <3
Black, Green and Everything in Between by Diamond
In Progress | 30,335 | Mature | Angst & Fluff
Hot alien prince? (Not Lotor) Jealous Shiro? Evil Kuro showing his side? Sign me the quiznak up! This fic has everything I want in a fic and although I desperately would love an update, it’s already a true treasure.
Golden Madness by @potentiala​
In Progress | 86,049 | Explicit | Angst, Angst, ANGST | MCD
This is a wonderful piece with both Lotidge & Shidge - plus it’s got Klance if you like that pairing. My favorite thing about it is Lotor’s obsession with Pidge and the fascinating backstory that potentiala has woven in. It is very dark - darker than I tend to get, just a heads up.
Officer Shirogane and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Case by @dadboyshiro
In Progress | 12,420 | Mature | Police AU
This is a gift to humanity. Police and Hacker AU? YES PLEASE. And guess who the hacker is? (PIDGE) The banter is witty, the characters are charming (as they should be), and it’s well written. 12/10 [Plus Police Captain Samuel Holt YAS]
And that was the moment Keith knew... by Ninja_Librarian
Complete | 8,440 | General | CRACK
Short, sweet, and everything you didn’t know that you needed. It’s what crack fic should be: Well written and yet still HILARIOUS. This piece nearly killed me. Keith is a terrible wingman for both Shiro and Pidge so when lovebugs get involved...let’s just say it’s the best. The very best.
Lingering by @dontcallmebugaboo​
In Progress | 11,592 | General | Fake Marriage
Fake Marriage/Undercover tropes are my FAVORITE. I’m very cliche about what I like, okay? And this fic delivers. Lots of blushing scenes, smooth flirting, not-so-smooth flirting, and Lance laughing off on the side. Plus it’s in the standard VLD universe!
Pidgeunzel by CircusTalia
Complete | 64,569 | General | Rapunzel AU
Bless this fic. Honestly. Pidge is Rapunzel, Shiro is a prince, and the rest of the gang fill amazing roles. AND DID I MENTION THAT IT’S COMPLETE? LION GODDESS BLESS US ALL. Also, this is based on the traditional Rapunzel story.
HMS Leo by worldturnedupsidedown
Complete | 23,577 | Teen | Steampunk AU
This is such a cute fic with Mechanic!Pidge and Prince!Shiro. Plus the Garrison Trio being awesome friends and Rover is a mechanical dog! AND THERE’S AWESOME AS HECK ART TO GO WITH IT! (Because it was part of a Big Bang). The only thing I’d mention is that it was written Pre-Season 3 so just keep that in mind (it’s not really a big deal though, especially as an AU).
Well ta-da! I’m sure I missed a few that I’ve read (and I’ll certainly read more going forward) so I’ll create a second list in the future. If you’ve got any great Shidge fics you’d like to send my way, I’d love to see them! <3 <3 <3
