--
and to those gods i will say bluntly
wordcount: 44,371
summary: Light was about to speak, say he had no issue with going through door five, too, when he felt the grip on his arm tighten further.
"Four?" he whispered.
Clover made a small noise that he took as a "yes."
warnings: T rating, graphic depictions of violence
relationships: Clover Field & Light Field, Light Field/Kurashiki Aoi
characters: Light Field | Snake, Clover Field, Kurashiki Aoi | Santa, Junpei, Seven (Zero Escape), Kashiwabara Hazuki | Lotus, Kurashiki Akane | June, Hongou Gentarou | Ace

I liked your suggestion of Clover in a field of clovers, and decided to draw her laying down, enjoying a sunny day.
I added the small Clover as a recollection from the past and also remembering Snake’s message about Trust, Love, Faith and Luck :)
I hope you like it :)
Happy Holidays!!

i decided to do some stuff with aoi and akane based on your first prompt! they had quite a while together before akane had to go on to the next thing (d-com), and i’m sure aoi was so relieved to be able to celebrate anything with his sister again! so it’s fluffy with a little angst bc we know she leaves again eventually, but for the short moment aoi had his sister he could give gifts to and see her smile again!

Though they both struggled on some level there really was no contest on who took the longest to get into the role
submitted by @mortellanarts:
Hello @mqole I’m your secret santa this year! I like thinking about Aoi during those nine years a normal amount so I loved this prompt and decided to expand on all the rehearsing through the years that went into the gun stunt specifically, hope it is to your liking :‘3

hi! I saw you also liked wtc and it gave me so many ideas!
I wanted to elaborate on my choices so there's higurashi spoilers under the cut
happy holidays!
full disclosure I haven't finished the last few answer arcs, but I have a pretty good gist of what happens
Keiichi-> Junpei
Mion and Shion -> Nona and Ennea
Rika -> Akane
Rena -> Aoi
Satoshi -> Light
Satoko -> Clover
I was hesitant to make Akane younger than Junpei, but it made the most sense to me if I were to keep Aoi and Light teenagers, and I couldn't not make Akane take Rika's role as the timelooper! I think that would make all their relationships different than both Higurashi and Zero Escape
Light would have gone blind a few years ago, and since then would have joined the baseball team with accomodations from other locals (though the baseball bat looks best in Junpei's hands). in this AU, they wouldn't be wealthy and their parents would have died, and Light's overprotectiveness would lead him to killing their aunt
I just thought the idea of Junpei taking in Clover as his little sister and following in Light's footsteps and killing for her would be soo good
Aoi would be Akane's family and live with Akane and Clover at the shrine after their parents died and before Clover/Light's uncle returns, though I made him take Rena’s role-- maybe he'd tinker with scraps at the junkyard? to make his delinquent past possible, I think he would have left town to live in the city and come back after experiencing delusions. Akane would be looping indefinitely until morphogenetic-field-like things start happening (because I haven’t read the last arc I can’t elaborate too much)
Nona and Ennea just clicked as the Sonozaki twins, though it would be kind of sad for Hazuki to be their mom in this context... since they have little canon information on them I aligned them closer to Mion and Shion's personalities. if Ennea were to have a relationship with Light, I think it would have to be onesided but that should still enough for her to fulfill Shion's arc
and I think that's it! thanks for giving me the opportunity to explore the idea, I hope you enjoy ❤️✌️

FIC: Eggshells
Hi @graceisprettygreat I was so excited to fulfill your request this year and I really hope it was what you were looking for. The prompt I chose was “a father’s day for tenmyouji”.
The weather was miserable, so even if Quark hadn’t been feeling well, he probably would have told the boy to stay at home. It was a good day to hit up the old research facility.
The building wasn’t obvious; whatever branding had existed before was long gone, so he wasn’t even sure what it presented itself to the world as. He was pretty certain it had been some sort of secret government facility. On one trip he had been bored and rifled through some documents on Department of Defense letterhead. The front of the building had collapsed, blocking off the entrance, and he was convinced the DoD had probably done it themselves, on purpose. Vegetation was overgrown, the parking lot was a disaster, and it took him a week just to figure out how to get in through some rubble in the east wing.
It was an hour-long trip on the bus, then about another half an hour on foot. He always feared the building might collapse in on him as he wriggled his way in, or his bag might get stuck as he tried to pull it out. But the stuff he found usually ensured he didn’t have to work quite as hard for another few months.
The other downside was the real reason he never brought Quark here. He could possibly make a safer way in, or limit any excursions to areas where the risk of collapse was low. It was the signs sporadically located throughout the building that warned of radiation past that point. He had some radiation detection badges from an abandoned hospital, and he wasn’t even sure if they worked. But he was old as dirt and there was no way he hadn’t been exposed at some point before. He couldn’t risk it with Quark.
The badge didn’t want to stay on his soaked shirt so he just shoved it in his pocket. He’d check it periodically. The building was huge and he never wanted to stay in for too long, so there were still sections that were unexplored. The upper levels of the west wing were a little intimidating, since there was already some structural damage. But he ventured there anyway. No electricity, obviously, so the elevators weren’t an option; it took him another half hour to get to an unexplored level. He pulled a marker out of his pocket and scrawled a big ‘X’ for future endeavors.
Nothing much of value in the first few rooms. The third office on the right had two corpses in it. Dead bodies didn’t much bother him anymore, especially ones that were so old. But in this case, one of them was lying on a couch, legs crossed at the ankles, hands crossed over the chest, some kind of deteriorated cloth over their face. The other person might have killed themselves, if the gun lying on the table next to their head was any indication.
The gun wasn’t really of much value. Electronics yielded a small amount of useful material. But the real money was in the jewelry. Engagement and wedding rings, a gaudy necklace and a few bracelets. The first time he scavenged from a corpse, he threw up when he got back home. Ended up burying the rings in the backyard of whatever damn place he was holed up in. Had nightmares about being haunted by the dead people who wanted their mementos back.
Today, he brought tools that could snap bone and make his task easier.
The rings scratched the glass, so probably real diamonds. There were still people who cared about these things and would pay good money for it. They might be able to go easy on the work for a couple weeks.
He thought he heard the building groan when he tried to get at some exposed pipes, so he packed up and slipped out, back into the rain. The bus was running late, so he got home a little later than expected, but he knew Megan and Joe wouldn’t mind. They loved the little guy, and the new laws meant they couldn’t keep the bar open after 8pm anyway. When he was about twenty minutes away, he pulled out his phone and messaged them to let them know he was almost home.
The key fob didn’t work. Must be another rolling blackout. They never had them in the old neighborhood, but there were still definite advantages living over a bar. He went around back and used the door with a manual key. No candles downstairs, so he went up to where their personal rooms were.
Then nearly jumped out of his skin when he was met with a round of, “Surprise!”
Joe was lighting candles on a cake that … appeared to have been frosted by Quark. There was a large root beer float sitting next to it, along with a small package tied up with yarn.
“It’s not my birthday,” he muttered as he shrugged of his coat.
“No, it’s Father’s Day! There’s a Grandfather’s Day too, but nobody could remember when it was.”
Oh. Was it? He imagined some people still celebrated it. It was frowned upon to be procreating in this world, and only idiots still raised their kids if they did end up creating one. He saw the looks he got walking around with Quark. And that jackass in their old town who bragged to everyone about having a mother only guaranteed their status as social pariahs.
Quark’s smile faltered a little in response to his silence. He held out a piece of paper, and as Junpei took it, he realized it was a drawing. He didn’t think Quark had any crayons left. It was probably supposed to be the two of them, walking somewhere.
“I made the cake with real eggs, too.”
HIs mind was reeling a little at how much this would have cost, but he ignored it for now.
“Sounds great.” He rubbed his temple to try and stifle the headache building. “Thank you, Quark.”
“Well blow out the damn candles,” Megan nagged him.
He did as instructed, careful to only extinguish the ones on the cake and not the others lighting the room. When Quark insisted on cutting the pieces, Joe asked Junpei to come downstairs with him to grab a knife and some plates. They had one flashlight and fortunately Megan must have made sure the batteries were recharged, as it came to life as Junpei pressed the switch.
“You could try to look a little more enthusiastic,” Joe chided him.
“I’ll pay you back for whatever that all costs.”
“Don’t worry about it. He saved up his allowance for this.”
“I know what he gets for allowance,” Junpei said as Joe handed him a stack of plates. “And I know what eggs and root beer cost.”
“You’re the first boarder in a long time who paid the full rent on time every month. I told Quark his allowance covered it. So don’t worry about it.” He held up a knife and frowned at it, putting it down and picking up another, running his finger over the edge. “This should be dull enough that he can’t cut himself. Now when we get up there, act happier. He put a lot of effort into this.”
The lights came back on while they were going upstairs.
“About damn time,” Joe grumbled. “This is the third one this week. I’m starting to worry about our power grid.”
“Starting?” he muttered under his breath. As they re-entered the room, he made an effort to smile. Quark looked a little apprehensive, and he felt bad for not being more grateful. He was still fixated on the cost, the time Quark must have spent doing this, after lying to him about not feeling well, and how he could have been -
He squeezed his eyes shut in an effort to derail that train of thought. When he re-opened them, he forced the smile on his face to look natural and genuine, not … well … forced.
“Let’s crack into that cake, huh? Haven’t had something with real eggs in it in a while.”
“I tried to get all the eggshells out. One of them broke really easily and I wasn’t expecting it. And you have to open your present!”
He held out the box. The “wrapping paper” was clearly a napkin from the bar, complete with stains that just wouldn’t wash out. Rum and some kind of tomato-based sauce, if he had to guess. Junpei undid the yarn that was holding it together let the napkin fall to the table. The box inside was labeled PERISHABLE and smelled like cheese, so he was surprised when there wasn’t food inside, but a small metal trinket. A brooch, actually, shaped like a J. It had seen better times, so it was clearly something Quark had scavenged somewhere. Very girly and ornate, not anything he would actually ever wear, even if donning fancy jewelry wasn’t like putting a target on your back. But he found himself tearing up anyway.
“Do you like it? There was a whole bunch of letters like that in a building me and David were exploring. I wanted a G for Grandpa but they didn’t have one.”
“It’s perfect,” he said, his voice cracking a little. “How long have you been planning this?”
“Since whenever Miss Megan’s birthday was. She told me about it. If you’re crying, does that mean you don’t like it?”
Oh. His face was wet.
“I love it, Quark. It’s the perfect Father’s Day present.”
The worry instantly left Quark’s face, and he held out a sloppily cut piece of cake. Chocolate, from the looks of it. He … was not going to worry about how much that cost.
“I bet it’s delicious. Make sure you and Joe and Megan get pieces, too.”
Quark gave him a huge grin and turned back to the cake, cutting out ridiculously large pieces for everyone. Junpei wiped a bit of schmutz off the fork before digging in. The texture was off, the frosting was grainy, and Quark had definitely not gotten all the eggshells out.
But it had literally been decades since someone had baked a cake just for him. Decades since he felt that someone … cared about him. Loved him.
He would protect this little one with his life.

Happy holidays! I loved the idea of Luna in Wonderland, so I had to snap your prompts up. I based my art on two of the original illustrations for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I would've liked to get even more characters in (it would be fun to dress Akane up in some royal finery as Queen of Hearts or something) but I had to keep myself within realistic constraints, lol - hope you like them!

Happy holidays! I was immediately drawn to your prompts by the “Mira and Q have ice cream together” prompt (and the two Lotus and Seven prompts)! I think it would be silly if the mouth of the Orb ™ was actually a mouth. I did entertain some other ideas of how Q could enjoy the ice cream that I was going to turn into a little doodle compilation, but I ended up not having time to draw that due to my workload (>_<). Also, I thought it would be cute if Q and Mira were wearing friendship bracelets that they made for each other. While I didn’t exactly combine prompts, I at least wanted to include Lotus and Seven in the background! I hope you enjoy the gift!
