AU6 masterlist

a/n: oh my god this has been on hold for over two years HAHAHHAHA

wc: 1013

Standing in front of the full-length mirrors, Lisa smoothed out the invisible wrinkles on her ballgown. Her maids scurried around her, perfecting every minuscule detail of her appearance, from her hair, to her makeup, her accessories, her dress, and shoes. Antsy, Lisa dismissed them with a wave of her hand. They’d already been pestering her for over an hour.

It was now sunset, and the light pouring in from her floor-to-ceiling windows bathed the room in a golden glow. The maids had left and it was now quiet, leaving Lisa with nothing but her own thoughts.

It was the day of the engagement ball and King Miya would officially announce her marriage to his eldest son, Prince Atsumu, to the entire kingdom.

She couldn’t believe it was actually happening. That she was engaged, and to be married in less than a week. The day after her 18th birthday, to be exact. She had never thought that this was how her life would be - betrothed to a royal pain in the ass.

Atsumu really wasn’t that bad. Except for the fact that Lisa couldn’t recall a single time he didn’t try to get under her skin. Be it small pranks, jokes, teases, jabs and everything in between, Lisa had never once taken a liking to the blonde haired prince. Given, the last time they had met was several years ago, when Atsumu was officially appointed as the General of their kingdom’s Royal Guard.

Back then, he was a playful and energetic - albeit a bit rude - child. That was the only impression Lisa had of him. She hadn’t seen him since that gathering, and it had been what, four years? She was skeptical about him and doubted he’d be any more of a gentleman than he was all those years ago.

Of course, the first time she’d see him in years would be at their engagement ball. Lisa rolled her eyes.

Staring at her reflection, Lisa was met with a pretty face in a pretty dress, but it wasn’t her. She didn’t want to be a trophy wife. She wanted to be a woman. A woman with great ambition and power. Not a woman known to be helplessly clinging onto the arm of a man.

If only Hajime were here to see this...

There was a knock on the door. Lisa turned to see her caretaker bringing in a tray of freshly cut fruits.

“Lisa-chan, your sister has requested for me to bring this to you. She’s worried that the food at the ball won’t be to your liking, and truthfully, I share her concerns,” Kanoka-san announced, setting the tray on Lisa’s desk. Her gentle, motherly voice filled Lisa with warmth and reminded her of her childhood.

And a pair of olive green eyes with a head of spiky brown hair.

“Please thank her for me, Kanoka-san. I know it must’ve been a terribly long journey for her to return from the east just for this ball. I’m not sure if I’ll have the chance to speak with her later and thank her personally. I suppose I’ll be caught up in one too many exciting conversations about my engagement. I can’t wait,” Lisa deadpanned.

Her eldest sister, Terushima Jina, had always doted on her. While Emiko and Yūji had complicated feelings regarding Lisa, Jina had never once blamed her for their mother’s death or their father’s subsequent behaviour. Jina always spoke of how their father was a good and kind man, yet this never proved true for Lisa. Jina did often talk about their mother, though, and how much she loved them.

“It’ll be over before you know it, and after tonight you won’t have to see him till the wedding next week,” Kanoka pointed out.

Lisa turned to fully face her. “But after that I have to see him every day for the rest of my life!” She sighed and crossed the room to her caretaker, taking her weathered hands in her own soft ones. “I’d much rather stay here with you, Kanoka-san. At least you’ll take better care of me than that son of a-.”

“Care to repeat that, my dear?” Lisa nearly jumped out of her skin as her father sauntered into the room.

He was dressed in a crisp black suit with their yellow gold family pin on his collar. His dress shoes were polished to a shine and his dark brown hair was slicked back. Handsome, many would agree. He and Yūji were practically carbon copies of each other, the only difference being the faux blonde hair. His arms hung loosely by his side yet there was a sort of tension in him that Lisa couldn’t name.

“No, Father,” she muttered.

“Well, you’d better not embarrass me today,” he started, walking past her and further into her room, surveying himself in the mirror. Lisa had to physically restrain herself from rolling her eyes in front of him.

“No slouching, no sitting-,” he started, adjusting his collar and sleeves.

No pouting, no frowning, no speaking unless spoken to, no crying, never finish your food and always. smile. Lisa mouthed her father’s words behind his back, having heard this every time she had to attend a ball, banquet or gala.

And he still wonders why I hate going to them.

Worse still, her father added, “And never let go of his arm.”

Lisa blanched. She had to what?

Before she could protest, her father interrupted her.

“The guests have already arrived at the royal palace, as well as the rest of the kingdom. I’ve received news that the Northern Princess is going to be there. I'm sure you understand the implications of her presence. Don’t disappoint us,” He never once looked at her as he spoke. “Your sisters and their husbands are already on their way there. I’ll be taking a carriage with my son and yours will be leaving shortly.”

My son.

“Yes, Father.”

And with that, he left the room without another word as Kanoka packed for tonight, leaving Lisa to her thoughts - which mostly comprised of Hajime - yet again.

Hello hello! I got so excited by our convo last night that I started making the spider diagram sksksk. I just wanted to ask, do AU5 and AU6 have official titles? I did a quick skim of your blog but I couldn’t find them so I thought I’d just ask :)

Hello!!! :D Au5 is called And I Run (Love, Run), but you'd definitely be forgiven for not knowing that because I only mentioned it the once (it's on my pinned post though! Idk if you looked at that at all on your search). Au6 does not have an official name because it's still in a state of flux about whether I consider it a canonised au or not yet. It's got a few things that aren't quite settled. I sort of consider it semi-canon.

@amoreemioo sent: NUDE :  for one muse to walk in on the other while they’re changing. :HEHEH:

despite trying his damn hardest to become a proper professional, seunggi's never been the... best at getting up in the morning. (a massive understatement; there's been plenty of times where his members have either shaken him awake or dumped water over his head to get him up.) he's also tried his hardest to fix the pattern, but that's easier said than done.

especially when his brain refuses to register any of his alarms.

and on this morning, it's led seunggi to flailing around his apartment, trying to piece together some semblance of an outfit. preferably one that won't have the internet questioning his sanity.

and ares, apparently.

"you're— wh—" here's where he almost trips trying to put his foot through one of his pants' legs, quickly grabbing onto the nearest wall for stability. "what are you doing here?! you should've left without me—" he groans under his breath, of course flattered but also a little disappointed that now ares will likely hear something about being late, too. his shoulder leans against the wall as he finally pulls his pants up over his waist, and the feeling of the cold paint against his skin makes him realize how little clothes he's wearing. perhaps it's not completely odd for the pair of them considering how long they've known each other and that they have seen each other in such a state before, but— all of that was under different circumstances.

does seunggi try to ignore the fact that these new circumstances could make his being in this state a little... different now? yes, of course. does he succeed? absolutely not. in fact, he almost falls flat on his face again as he gets back on both feet (somehow), before doing a light jog back to his room for the rest of his attire. "just— just gimme a minute! — and do not move!" `

[INTERVENE] -> one muse is being hit on aggressively in public, and is clearly not into it. the other muse steps in to intervene. (au6 O_O)

it wasn’t every day they got to go out into the world and do things like normal people — they could, sure, but it was never easy. normal people didn’t really … have strangers want pictures together, or other things of that nature. normal people didn’t really have to consider how well a hat and mask could hide their features from the world. they could just hop in the car and go out to lunch without a single thought.

in their world, though, it didn’t work like that. they could attempt to hide away and see how long they got away with it, or they could just brave the crowds with a smile (and hana trailing not too far behind).

but on days like today? when it was storming so hard it seemed the trees were bending in half, the normal lunch traffic was nonexistent — this was, believe it or not, the kind of day they could make work.

or maybe ares was just saying whatever he thought would get seunggi to follow him out into the rain with hopes of securing some good old fashioned fried chicken.

and surprisingly, ares had been right! barely a single soul in sight, save for the staff and a few odd patrons. they were able to get in and seated in no time, a booth all to themselves — even the staff was seemingly respecting them in the sense of simply leaving them alone.

it almost felt as if it was too good to be true, you know?

and maybe it would have continued on as such, the never ending perfect day. no crowds, no pestering, no traffic — just good food and good times with his date. (even just thinking such a thing made ares smile).

but ares just had to get up from the table to use the restroom — he was gone no longer than a minute! maybe two! and what did he come back to?

if anything could have his steps quickening it was the sight of someone new, someone unknown, sitting in their booth, a little too close to seunggi —that alone would have been a little concerning for ares. but it just so happened that the moment he laid eyes on the stranger? they were dropping a hand to seunggi’s thigh — and, well? “what’re you doing — don’t touch him.” the feeling that so quickly bubbled up inside him was probably as close to anger as ares got, and really? this man was probably lucky that ares hadn’t been close enough to react in the same moment that he spoke. no, he needed a few more seconds to close the distance, brows knitting together as he finally came up to the table. “are you okay — d’you know him?” that alone would dictate how ares responded next, unless he so happened to get up on his own.

HEllo!!!! I’ve been rewatching Wolf and I just,,, I need more info on AU 6 cause I can’t stop thinking about it since you mentioned it! Like, how far along does it actually follow the Wolf plot - or is it more like Redacted AU with Wolf vibes??

SKKSKSKS HELLO

au6 does not follow the plot of wolf at all - mostly because it has no plot at the moment, only vibes - but I would definitely say it's like redacted au with wolf vibes. That said though, au6 and redacted actually hinge on completely different divergence points, despite their apparent similarity. I really do wish that I could tell you more about au6 but it's even more spoilery than redacted, somehow - which is excessively spoilery HAHA like how much do you guys even know about redacted at this point? redacted!doctor has a knife. just imagine that koschei has a knife too and they're partners in crime but everything is utterly awful, and that's basically the au HAHAHA

[Just Friends? meme from @timelrd​‘s Six]

“I’m personally offended that you didn’t get me to be your fake date.” ------------

“If there’s one thing I’ve learned, Doctor, it’s that for you being offended is a lifestyle choice. And besides,” She smacked her lips over newly applied lipstick and reached for a tissue to blot, “I was certain it wouldn’t be your scene.”

Standing from her seat at the mirror, she brushed off her dress and put some finishing touches on her hair. “I mean, imagine the impact on your reputation!” Turn, check back of dress, “Couldn’t possibly allow that to happen.”
