Still here: CHRISTMAS HELL

Hey guys! Originally the Christmas fic was going to release near the actual date until I my work schedule said "Nah, you'll be working every single day (except for Christmas Day) until new years."

SO this unfortunately means the special is delayed and will probably be out in January, and thats not to even say of actual regular asks.

Much apologies, but thanks yall for sticking around, and thanks for following the blog for so many years, know that I'm thankful for each and every one of you, and that I still plan to write! I'll have a more substantial update regarding the blog once holidays are over.

On a more comical note regarding the Christmas Special Fic:

===

Anis checked her phone as her team stood above the thin layer of snow beneath their boots.

(Anis) "An update from the Commanders...apparently we're standing by?"

(M4 SOPMOD II) "WHAT!? Man, this friggin SUCKS!"

(Neon) "The one time we're getting attention and we're pushed to the sideline for weeks?!"

(ST AR-15) "I'm sure they have their reasons."

(M4 SOPMOD II) "By the time we actually get back with this damn tree, it'll be over! I OUGHTTA RIP THE CLIENT'S HEAD OFF!"

(Neon) "NO, THEY'RE MINE! I'M GOING TO SHOOT THEM!"

(Anis) "Who the hell requested a bunch of combat dolls to get a tree anyway?"

(ST AR-15) "According to the Commander, a writer, apparently...Heard he's a slacker too."

[genshingorlsrevengeance]

OH SHIT!

New pfp

Who that be?

That would be our beloved NIKKE, Rapi!

She's my favorite of Squad Counters and her smile is PRECIOUS

How long did it take to make the banner?

Getting the character models and poses was actually pretty simple, but as for everything else, that took a WHILE

Everything, and I mean everything, else had to be photoshopped in manually, the comets acting as hellpods, the text, the bugs, the background, I want to say it took me about three hours.

Each of my custom banners usually takes me three hours minimum, all for a dumb joke/whatever I'm playing at the time LMAO

Though I've noticed I tend to make a new banner whenever there's an overhaul to the blog or if I come back to write for a longer while.

Speaking of which, once the holiday season ends, expect me to return with a new banner to boot!

For the G36 simps among the blog:

Please enjoy her in an office outfit and her usual Cafe attire:

I REALLY need to write her more often because she is super pretty.

Poll: Who stars in the annual Christmas fic?

Keeping with tradition here on this blog, I will be writing a Christmas themed fic with a bunch of characters, but I will let you decide who's in it since I have trio to choose from!

Group 1: Anis, Neon, ST-AR 15, M4 SOPMOD II Crossover between the Raifus, the dumbasses and their babysitters

Group 2: Springfield, G36 My usual go-to's for Holiday fics/Quiet favorites of the blog!

Group 3: Helianthus, Angelia, Kalina The human officers keeping Griffin alive (excluding the Commander)

Thanks for voting as usual, hopefully these options all sound pretty fun!

This video came from September of 2023 but it has never been more relevant than now:

I imagine the people I have simping for Raifus on this blog has significantly grown since then (ALL ACCORDING TO PLAN)

Hey Chris!

I'm afraid I've also come down with the angelia brainrot

If you don't mind, can I have an ask where the reader starts knitting or crocheting wool sleeves for angelias prosthetics? If it takes a long time to get to this ask I completely understand

Thank you 😊

(GFL) S/O knitting clothes for Angelia's Prosthetic

Angelia brainrot seems to be going around, just like the sniffles I have.

Angelia raises a single eyebrow as she watches her S/O approach with a finely crafted glove made of wool, with a cute design of DEFY's symbol in the middle.

(Angelia) "Think you're missing the other hand there, S/O."

(S/O) "It's not for me!-"

Before she has a chance to ask who it is for, Angelia gets her answer when S/O lifts her prosthetic hand up.

And promptly fits the glove onto her robotic hand, S/O taking care to be gentle despite the fact she can't really feel their loving touch.

That being said, the gesture still makes Angelia blush the smallest bit, as her fingers wave, adjusting the fit of the glove as her real hand brushes against it.

(Angelia) "I certainly hope you don't expect me to wear this on missions."

(S/O) "Missions? No, but around base so you can keep warm? Yes!"

With a titter, Angelia taps S/O on the nose as she leans back into her chair, crossing her arms.

(Angelia) "Then why bother making one for the arm I can't even feel anything in?"

S/O sat across from her, smile growing by the second.

(S/O) "I thought it'd be a cute little stopgap! At least until I finish making the other glove!"

Rolling her eyes, Angelia just hummed at their reply.

Instead her gaze trails back to the glove, her own smirk failing to contain itself.

(Angelia) "What's next after that? Gonna make me a sock for the missing leg too?"

(S/O) "Excellent suggestion, I'll-"

(Angelia) "-Not do that. No need to waste the material."

(S/O) "Anything I make for you isn't a waste!"

Angelia couldn't help but blush ever so slightly at the instant reply, but she managed to keep her cool tone, even as she looked back into their practically gleaming eyes.

(Angelia) "Is that right? In that case-"

Angelia pulled the glove off her hand and walked over to S/O, instead fitting it on theirs, and gently squeezing their hand.

(Angelia) "Keep yourself warm before focusing on me. Can't have my tailor freezing on me first."

[genshingorlsrevengeance]

I have never been more down bad for a fictional character than since Feixiao came out I have no idea but hhhmmmmmnnnmgg strong and pretty I wanna be held and squeezed

(I hope you are having/have had a good day too and wish you well in any future endeavours you may have as well, also your writing is really good)

Have you seen her Lightcone art?

And thanks for the kind words!

[genshingorlsrevengeance]

Hey Chris, just checking in to say I bye and that I loved reading your posts. All the way back in like late 2021 when I first got into genshin, you were one of the creators that convinced me to make a tumblr account in the first place, mostly just to like your posts at first and later to start writing as well.

Sadly most of the others have either deactivated since or left on an eternal hiatus, but since you're still here, I just wanted to tell you.

Anyway, thanks! And keep rocking!

Thanks for the kind words, and I will say it was great having you in this writing community too! I'm going on AO3 myself to read a lot more myself and might write some stuff there too eventually, but for now I'm sticking with tumblr.

Regardless, I'll still be here in Tumblr for a long while, and will remain whenever you do check in. May AO3 treat your writing well!

[genshingorlsrevengeance]

Chris, as far as I know you’re thee GFL tumblr person. Emphasis on the thee. Do you think I should play GFL, GFL 2, or both? I know you’re not doing 2 but the thing for 2 is I don’t want to miss rewards. Though looking at the story I feel like I’m missing something as it reminds me of Xcom 2. Sure you can play the second game first but the Commander has history before they have to start from the ground up again. FYI the protagonist in Xcom is also called the Commander.

Get the rewards from 2 but play 1 first absolutely. You'll be missing vital context as 2 is 10 years later with many returning characters.

[genshingorlsrevengeance]

Everybody is fighting over humans that they forget this whole series is about AK 15

(In regards to the marriage ring saga for GFL)

AK-15 our beloved...

(Honkai Star Rail) Astral Express Crew finding a Lightsaber

Alternative Title: Welt and Dan Heng have to stop March, Caelus, and Stelle from accidentally cutting their own arm off

I've been rewatching a lot of Star Wars and I wanted to write the consequences of Trailblazers/March finding a laser sword and letting their intrusive thoughts take over because that sounds REALLY entertaining.

Inside the main Parlor Car, the crew of the Astral Express had gathered around to examine a relic found on a nearby planet. It was lost inside an abandoned military base, and conspicuously laying on the middle of an empty floor, to which the Trailblazers had grabbed it without hesitation, seeing something shiny.

(March 7th) "So...What the heck is it?"

March 7th peered over Stelle's shoulder as the Trailblazer shifted what appeared to be a metallic rod in her hands, fumbling with the machine while dragging it closer to her face.

(Stelle) "Beats me. Might be some kind of key."

She wordlessly tilted her wrist towards Caelus, who grabbed it and mimicked the same action, though looking at a hole inside the rod, raising an eyebrow.

(Caelus) "Keys normally don't have slots in them."

The only response he got was from Dan Heng, who simply sighed and pointed the hole away from everyone and towards the ceiling of the Car.

(Dan Heng) "Which is precisely why you shouldn't point it at your face. It could be a weapon."

Himeko and Welt sat on the nearby couch, watching as the younger members of the crew passed the rod along to each other as if sharing a toy.

Welt put a finger to his chin, his eyes squinting at the rod and adjusting his glasses with the same finger.

(Welt) "From what I can see, it is a device of some kind. As to what it does, I'm not entirely sure."

(Himeko) "Perhaps we could activate it from a distance and-"

Himeko was interrupted when Caelus shook it hard, his thumb pressing into one of the indentions on its side and accidentally activated the contraption.

A massive blue beam of light shot out from the hole in the hilt, causing everyone to jump back in surprise.

(Himeko) "...Or not."

(March 7th) "WOAAAAH! So bright!"

The machine hummed as the blue light stood rigid, whirring as Caelus swung it around, away from everyone.

(Stelle) "Looks like a glow stick. I kind of want to touch it-"

(Welt) "-Please do not do that."

(Dan Heng) "I think...it looks like a sword."

(Caelus) "Hang on, let me just-"

Letting his intrusive thoughts win, Caelus let the blue beam of light come into contact with the nearby table, only to split it half with a searing screech as the Astral Express crew gasped in horror.

(Caelus) "...Alright, I can confirm that it is a sword."

(Welt) "Caelus..."

Welt's scolding tone immediately caused Caelus to cease up, on instinct moving to bow and apologize-

(March 7th) "WOAH WOAH! WATCH WHERE YOU POINT THAT THING!"

(Himeko) "Don't cut your head off by bowing, Caelus..."

(Caelus) "R-Right...! So can I turn this off or?-"

He moved to shake it before everyone quickly took a step back as he did so, the blade whirring violently as he attempted to shut it off with brute force.

(Stelle) "Hold that still for a second!-"

Caelus stopped jostling the blade, allowing Stelle to grab the hilt before finding the indention again, shutting the blade off as it shrunk itself back into the hilt.

(Stelle) "...That's cool, a retractable light sword? I kind of want to keep it-"

(March 7th) "PSH! Are you serious! You can't hog that to yourself! Imagine how easy it would be to cut through bread with that!"

(Dan Heng) "We find a sword made entirely of light that can cut through metal like paper, and you want to make breakfast with it?"

(March 7th) "...Well, when you put it that way it sounds dumb!"

(Caelus) "Imagine how easy it'd be to finish commissions with that thing. I want to give it a whirl-"

(Welt) ahem "Stelle, please hand the weapon to me."

Everyone froze up at Welt's command, with Stelle immediately nodding.

(Stelle) "G-Got it, Mr. Yang."

Welt politely took the beam of death away from his rowdy comrades, and examined the hilt a little more closely before handing it over to Himeko, who did the same with a small smile.

(Himeko) "Hm...Seems like an elegant weapon...!"

(Welt) "From an older age, it seems like."

(Himeko) "Perhaps we should go back to that planet to see if we can find more of these retractable swords."

Himeko's smile grew upon seeing March, Caelus, and Stelle's eyes brighten from that sentence. Even more so from Dan Heng's terrified expression.

(March 7th) "Wait, we can get our own down there?! NEXT ONE WE FIND I TOTALLY CALL DIBS ON!"

(Stelle) "Second!"

(Caelus) "Sec-...Aww...!"

(Dan Heng) "I don't think this is a really good idea-"

(Himeko) "Oh, come on! Who am I to deny anyone the treasures they find from an expedition? On that note-"

Himeko handed Dan Heng the hilt, as his three comrades' eyes watched him closely like a hawk.

(March 7th) "Wha-He gets it first?! No fair!"

(Welt) "To be fair, he is less likely to cut his own limb off...Or a table in half for that matter."

Caelus sheepishly rubbed the back of his head.

(Caelus) "Before we go back, do you mind helping me fix that..?"

Stelle sighed as she rolled her eyes.

(Stelle) "Fine. I'm doing this for Pom-Pom, not you by the way."

(March 7th) "Do you think they come in pink! I hope they do!"

(Himeko) "Make sure to bring one back for Welt and I, if you get a chance!"

(Dan Heng) "I'll...be responsible with mine."

(Welt) "We know you will, Dan Heng."

Himeko and Welt waved goodbye to the crew before they departed for the planet once again, after fixing the table with an unholy amount of glue and tape they found on the Astral Express.

As the two sat in silence, Welt turned to Himeko.

(Welt) "I think we should have gone down there with them-"

(Himeko) "Relax, I'm sure they'll be okay. This is hardly the first time they've found something like this either."

Welt couldn't refute her words, instead sighing and adjusting his glasses.

(Himeko) "Personally, I hope they find a red one for me. You?"

(Welt) "...I suppose yellow would be an interesting blade..."

...

(Dan Heng) "...You all can stare as much as you want, I am not letting any of you hold the blade."

(March 7th) "Come oon! Can we swing it around for just a second?-"

(Dan Heng) "March, this isn't a toy."

(Stelle) "No, but it is super cool! Besides, Caelus got to use it!"

(Caelus) "It was pretty sick-"

(Dan Heng) Please do not let them find any of these things to call their own.

I need any girls of you choice with a reader who doesn't understand what the word fetish means and thinks it's another word for hobby or activity. Thus reader well say stuff like "Hey you wanna try out this new fetish with me."

(H:SR/GoV: NIKKE/Genshin Impact) Their S/O not knowing what "fetish" means

Honkai Star Rail: Bronya, Seele, Serval Goddess of Victory NIKKE: Anis Genshin Impact: Ayaka, Lisa, Eula, Xianyun

Quoth the Bae, of Hololive English Promise:

"What is a fetish? If you really think about it , the negative connotation of fetish just doesn't make logical sense don't you agree? I just think if you have your preferences you can have your own preferences and that's completely fine but like asking for someone's fetish just seems like you're prying into something but it shouldn't really feel that way? Also eyes and thighs"

Bronya was in the middle of drinking tea and filling paperwork before hearing the question that made her heart stop for a few seconds.

(S/O) "Bronya, would you care to try this fetish of mine?"

(Bronya) "HRK?!-"

Her hands fumble with the cup, causing some of it to spill over in the ground as she violently rocks in her seat, coughing as her eyes widened.

S/O quickly rushed over to her, one hand on her back and shoving some important documents aside as Bronya attempted to stabilize herself.

(S/O) "Bronya, what's wrong?!"

Bronya's face quickly scrunches up with embarrassment, quickly turning red as her voice cracked.

(Bronya) "What kind of question is that S/O? How can you discuss that so openly?!"

(S/O) "I-Is it that weird to paint out in public?"

...What?

(Bronya) "Paint?-...S/O, when you say fetish, what do you?-"

(S/O) "As in hobby? I overheard some of the people from Wildfire say it before."

Bronya blinks a few times before sighing, both her hands slowly dragging down her face before shaking her head.

(Bronya) "Dear...that's...not what that word means..."

(S/O) "What does it mean then?"

Bronya inhaled, trying her best to keep her composure that was snapped in half like a twig before her eyes shifted to the floor, fingers twiddling.

(Bronya) "I-It means..." ahem "...A certain activity or object you like when you are...intimate..."

(S/O) "Inti-?"

In an instant, S/O understood before their face looked similar to Bronya, the couple standing still completely red.

(S/O) "Oh..."

She thanked the Gods above that there were no guards currently in her room right now, lest they get the very wrong idea.

...Not that she was opposed to trying some things out, but this was her main office! Hardly the time and place!

(Bronya) "...Pray tell, who exactly gave you the definition of this word?"

(S/O) "W-Well, it was-"

Seele regrets saying the word fetish off handedly around S/O.

Forgetting that they came from the prim and proper SIlvermane Guard, they didn't know the meaning of such a vulgar word.

Or more accurately, they were a bunch of softies who couldn't bear to hear something so normal in the Underworld.

Regardless, S/O thought it meant something entirely different because Seele was not ready for the question:

(S/O) "Wanna join me in a fetish I've been wanting to try, Seele?"

(Seele) "Hm? Sure-...WHAT?"

Seele immediately spun around, heart racing as she eyed S/O up and down.

They were in the middle of the streets right now! She sincerely prayed that they weren't about to-

Was that a notebook and pencil they were holding?

(S/O) "Seele? Is something the matter?"

(Seele) "Yeah, somethings the matter! Just what the hell do you think that word means?!"

(S/O) "W-Well, I thought it meant activity, or-"

Well, S/O technically wasn't wrong.

(Seele) "Ugh, l-listen! Just...don't go saying that around in public! And just use the word 'hobby' like a normal person!"

(S/O) "So, what does it mean then?"

(Seele) "I'm NOT explaining that in public just...just wait till we get home, alright?!"

She spun around, mostly to make sure S/O didn't see her blushing.

Serval was in the middle of strumming her guitar idly, trying to make sure that it was tuned correctly when S/O came through the door.

(Serval) "S/O! What's up?"

S/O smiled at Serval, closing the workshop door behind her and taking a seat beside the rockstar.

(S/O) "Hey! I hope you don't mind me asking a favor."

Serval tittered, waving a hand nonchalantly in response before going back to adjusting the tuning again.

(Serval) "Not at all. What can I help with?"

(S/O) "A new fetish I want to try-"

A comically loud and out of tune note echoed throughout the shop as Serval's finger stopped flicking mid-motion, her eyes almost bulging out her skull.

The noise startled S/O, but not nearly as much as they had startled her.

(Serval) "Run that by me again, S/O?"

(S/O) "Y-Y'know. A, um...fetish. I want to try this particular song with you-"

(Serval) "Okay, okay! Hold up a second!"

Putting down her guitar and brushing the bangs that had fallen onto her face, she grabbed both their shoulders while she felt her face heat up.

(Serval) "S/O, are you and I thinking of the same word right now?"

(S/O) "I'm just talking about wanting to try an instrument out?"

(Serval) "And...there's no innuendo here, right?"

(S/O) "Does...fetish not think what I think it means?"

Serval gave an exacerbated sigh, though she couldn't help the smile that was forming as well.

(Serval) "Hah, not in the slightest."

S/O was such an idiot.

And by god, Serval was glad S/O was her idiot.

Anis spits out the soda she was drinking, not bothering to clean up as she spun around to S/O.

(Anis) "WOAH! W-When did you get so bold?!"

S/O was stunned by Anis's reaction, but she wasn't able to scan in any increase in heartrate.

Did they just get augmented to become extremely brave, or?-

(S/O) "I didn't think you'd get so worked up over model building, Anis."

...Okay, no they were just stupid.

Anis slumped back down on the couch, facepalming before cleaning up the soda that was covering the table.

(Anis) "S/O, fetish isn't some ol-timey word for hobby!...Well, for decent folk, anyway."

(S/O) "So what's it-"

(Anis) "Agh! L-Look, don't ask me!"

Her core quickly heating up, her fingers fidgeted as she did her best to look everywhere except at S/O.

(Anis) "Go ask Rapi or Ne-N-NO! DON'T ASK NEON! JUST...Just ask the Commander, or something!"

(S/O) "O-Okay? I didn't offend you or something, did I?"

(Anis) sigh "No, but...look it's something you don't ask in the middle of the lobby, okay? It means something pretty...dirty!"

(S/O) "Since when did you care about that kind of thing?"

(Anis) "WHEN MY BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND IS ASKING ME TO TRY A FETISH ON THEM, OKAY?!"

(Neon) "WOAH! You're doing what?!"

(Commander) "...Is this a bad time to come in?"

(Rapi) "Perhaps we should take a break and leave the outpost for a while, sir-"

(Anis) "N-NO! YOU'RE GETTING THE WRONG IDEA!"

Ayaka gasped at S/O's question, a hand going over her chest before stammering out a response.

(Ayaka) "Huh?! S-S/O! W-We can't discuss something so...degenerate out in the open!"

(S/O) "W-Wine tasting?"

Now Ayaka let out a small squeak. She knows she's heard something to do with wine tasting in the bedroom.

(Ayaka) "S/O, please!"

(S/O) "Hang on a second, Ayaka! I don't think you're understanding what I mean!"

For once, Ayaka thinks she knows something that S/O didn't outside of her duties.

That being the true meaning of a word that she found much too dirty to use.

(Ayaka) "S/O, do you know what that word is?"

(S/O) "Hobbies, right?"

(Ayaka) "I'm...afraid not, love."

Looking around to make sure no one was around, she leaned over to S/O's ear before whispering the meaning.

Which doing so caused her to become just as red as S/O.

Lisa honestly doesn't know if she's disappointed or amused by the fact S/O asked her to try a fetish without knowing what it really means.

Maybe a little bit of both, but it didn't fail to get her to laugh anyway, Lisa covering her mouth by balling up a gloved hand.

And their confusion, accompanied by that cute tilt of their head and slight pout, got her to laugh even more.

(Lisa) "Sorry, sorry! Not laughing at you, cutie."

(S/O) "So, what are you laughing about then?"

(Lisa) "Well...that particular choice of phrasing, really. You do know what that word means, right?"

(S/O) "What, fetish?"

(Lisa) "Mhm."

S/O crossed their arms before sighing.

(S/O) "I saw it in a book, though the sentence it was used in was pretty vague. I know it means something to do with an activity, from context clues anyway."

(Lisa) "That book must have been very flowery in its language if you could only pick that up from the context."

Before making a mental note to check out the book S/O was reading, Lisa puts one hand under her chin as her elbow rests on the table.

(Lisa) "Allow me to tell you the definition proper, S/O...Rather, I'll show you it."

Later that evening, S/O did know what the word meant, one sore body later.

Eula goes bright red at the question, immediately raising an eyebrow at S/O.

(Eula) "Is this some kind of joke, S/O?!"

Seeing S/O only laugh in reaction confirmed her suspicions. They were teasing her!

(Eula) "Hmph! Trying to get a rise out of an elegant woman such as I will only earn you my vengeance, S/O!"

(S/O) "My apologies, miss Eula! I did not know that a mere painting could get you so flustered!"

So, it was that kind of painting? Eula had no idea S/O was so...perverted!

(Eula) "Any right person would be, if asked! If you desire a nude model, then-"

Immediately, she noticed how red they got.

(S/O) "W-Woah! Hang on, I meant a regular painting! Like of a smile, or something like that!"

Eula paused for a moment, then furrowing her brows again.

(Eula) "Did you not just ask me to try a fetish with you?"

(S/O) "As in, hobby? Isn't that just a fancy word for it?"

...Oh.

(Eula) "N-Not in any circle I know."

Well, Eula certainly didn't want to be the one to explain it.

Xianyun is relatively unaffected by S/O's question as she adjusts her glasses.

She's rather thankful of S/O being so straightforward about the request, less trying to decipher or beat around the bush for her.

(Xianyun) "One is not opposed, S/O. What fetish would you like to attempt?"

(S/O) "Great! See, I really want to try swimming as fast as I can versus one of your inventions!"

(Xianyun) "...A competition against One's contraptions is enough to stimulate you?"

(S/O) "I imagine it would! If it's made by you, then it's going to give me a challenge!"

Xianyun is honestly touched, that something made by her would get S/O that excited.

Who is she to deny her lover such a request?"

(Xianyun) "One will oblige! Let us head towards the beaches and find a worthy space to try it out."

...

Later as she watched her contraption race against S/O to a nearby rock, gliding against the waters, she heard footsteps behind her.

(Lumine) "Cloud Retainer?"

(Xianyun) "Ah, you return! One is pleased to see you doing well. Though you come at a rather...intimate moment, I believe."

Paimon blinked into existence next to her companion, waving hello excitedly.

(Paimon) "Hiya!...What's S/O doing?"

(Xianyun) "They are indulging themselves in a fetish of theirs."

(Lumine) "HUH?"

(Paimon) "W-WOAH! Did Paimon hear that right?!"

(Xianyun) "One is certainly not to judge. In fact, One can appreciate their openness about the subject matter."

Lumine and Paimon did a double take at what S/O was doing, then back to Xianyun.

...Either she didn't know what it meant, or-

S/O returned to shore a moment later, still clothed in a wetsuit that Xianyun had created and waved hello to the Traveler and Paimon.

(S/O) "Oh, hey you two!"

(Paimon) "Uh...hi?"

(Lumine) "S/O, Xianyun just told us you were...involved in a fetish?"

(S/O) "Yeah! I wanted to see if she could make a machine that was faster than me at swimming!"

(Xianyun) "Are mortals not accustomed to speaking so openly about it to their lovers?"

(Paimon) "P-Paimon guesses? But...do you know what it means?"

(Xianyun) "Naturally. A sexual desire of the partner-"

(S/O) "WHAT?!"

(Xianyun) "...Oh. Well, that certainly explains why you were so calm about it-"

(Lumine) "...I should go-"

Oh no, I just realized Black Friday is coming up, and you're a retail worker.

Please don't get trampled, Chris 😰

my home, for all seasons || serval x reader

Love, she had found, was a lot like warmth, after all. And she’s got enough to fill a universe with it, right here with you.

content warnings: none !

wc: 939

It’s snowing again.

It was hardly a surprising sight in Belobog, even as the Eternal Freeze had begun to recede. The lands outside the city’s walls still remained cloaked in a pristine layer of white, decorated with frozen statues of monsters and men alike. And it would be many, many years before the heaters in the streets and homes of Belobog could retire from their duty.

Serval was used to the cold. To the nipping chill that settled in the tips of her fingers, rendering them far too clumsy to strum her guitar properly. It was, if anything, a persistent annoyance. Hence why she had only blearily stared at you when you shook her awake, a sun-bright grin on your face at an hour far too early for her to truly appreciate.

“Serval,” you whispered excitedly, your voice light like first snow. “Serval, it’s snowing.”

Groggily, Serval turned her head to the side, squinted, and sure enough—snowflakes drifted lazily outside the window, turning the morning light a diluted greyish-yellow. Distantly, she could hear the clamour of the waking city bleed through the walls of your shared apartment. “G’morning to you too,” she drawled, moving to roll onto you and bury her face in the warm junction between your shoulder and your neck. Her breath tickled the sensitive skin there and you squirmed, giggling, your hands finding her face to draw her back.

“Let’s go out,” you say, and Serval’s expression morphed into a pout.

“But ‘s cold,” she whined in response.

“We can cuddle after,” you offered, trying to sweeten the deal. Serval’s eyes glittered, brows rising suggestively as her hands found your waist to absently rub small circles into the soft flesh. “Plus, it’s been a while since I’ve even seen snow.”

Serval blinked. Oh.

The last time you would have been able to let yourself enjoy such a mundane activity would have been years ago, before… well. Before the Supreme Guardian had decided the Underworld was a necessary sacrifice in her battle against the Fragmentum, damning you and so many innocent others to a subterranean existence. Your time in the Underworld had not been kind, but everyone Serval had met from the underground city had only lovely things to say about you.

Sometimes, the only thing that kept some of us sane was her music, Seele had admitted once as they sat in Bronya’s office after a long day of meetings and discussions with bone-headed Overworld nobles. Her playing was an excuse for people to sing and dance and forget everything for a while.

There is comfort in music, Serval had agreed, and in her mind’s eye she could almost picture you: the line of your back and the bend of your arm as you held your violin, your eyes shut as you felt the music in your bones, drawing each note straight from your soul and giving it tender voice. Your heart, Serval had come to learn, reflected in your playing, and it made her wonder what your song would have sounded like down in the Underworld. Eventually, she thought that it would have sounded a lot like hope.

“In that case,” she murmured, as her lips flicked upwards in a grin to match yours, “I know the perfect place.”

The ‘perfect place’ in question was actually outside the city, which Serval knew might be a bit of a controversial choice—actually, no, it very much was—but then again, Serval lived and died by rock n’ roll, and there’s nothing more rock n’ roll in spirit than being a little controversial. Plus, it wasn’t too far from the city’s gates, and if anything, Serval could fight. All those years in the hell that was military school weren’t for nothing.

Especially now, as she looked at you under the pale sunlight, your breaths warm puffs of air in the morning chill. Your face was tilted towards the sky, snowflakes catching in your hair like constellations. And oh, that smile on your face—so dazzlingly bright that Serval swore she could go fucking snowblind. It’s the moments like these, just you, her and the crescendo of emotion between the both of you that makes her feel that maybe, just maybe, all that shitty heartbreak and pain was worth it. That all the grief and sadness had finally slid into place in the symphony of her life, discordant notes smoothing into a lovely harmony that led right to you.

Qlipoth above, she wanted to kiss you.

“It’s beautiful,” you say, your eyes still affixed to the pale heavens.

“Yeah,” Serval answered, but she’s not looking at the sky. “Sure is.”

As if sensing her stare on you, you turn to face her, your expression curious. “Is there something on my face?”

“Yeah, actually,” Serval replied after a moment, and stepped closer to you, her blue eyes glinting with mischief. A gloved hand rose up to cup your cheek, her thumb brushing across the seam of your lips. She leaned in close, close enough that you could feel her breath spill across your cheeks, and right before she pulled you in for a gentle kiss, she whispered, “it’s me.”

Serval greedily swallowed the groan you let out at her admittedly terrible pick-up line, but you didn’t push her away, so she was taking this as an absolute win. In fact, you pulled her closer, your arms winding around her neck until your bodies were pressed flush together, and the cold nipping at her skin was all but forgotten.

Love, she had found, was a lot like warmth, after all. And she’s got enough to fill a universe with it, right here with you.
