Table for Tsu?

Fandom: BanG Dream!

AO3 Link

With the ringing of a wind chime and the creaking of the door signifying her arrival, Rui took her time to scan the scenery of the Hazawa Coffee. Wooden scenery that is easy on the eyes, and a tantalizing sugary smell filling the general area. With a familiar head of light blue hair standing out against the oranges and browns, it didn't take long for Rui to find the person she was slated to meet with. 

Rui: (courteously) Greetings, Hikawa-senpai.

With a soft thump, the bookmarked novel was delicately shut in Sayo's hands, as she invited Rui to sit down across from her. Ever since the bluenette was given the job of tutoring a certain irksome bandmate of Rui's, the two girls have made a plan to sit down together and discuss said bandmate's progress. Preferably over some coffee and Hazawa-made sweets.

Rui: (matter-of-factly) I assume that Kirigaya-san hasn't given you too much trouble. As one of her bandmates, I am no stranger to her more "capricious" behaviors.

Sayo: (with a small smile) Surprisingly enough, while synchronizing better with the more..."eccentric" guitar players on our roster, I found that Kirigaya-san has made noticeable progress, regarding her playing of more complex pieces. It was quite the arduous task, but I hardly see any need to worry, Yashio-san.

Rui: (bowing slightly) I humbly thank you for your tutelage, Hikawa-san.

Sayo: (bowing back) No need to thank me further.

After exchanging pleasantries and further commentary on Touko's more "Touko" moments, the two girls decided to skim the menu. Knowing that Rui is a more recent customer, Sayo decided to guide the violinist around the cafe's various delicacies.

Sayo: (curiously) Do you have any particular desserts in mind, Yashio-san?

Rui: (matter-of-factly) I don't really have any particular preferences, so long as the flavors aren't too strong.

Upon hearing that, Sayo's eyes sparkled and her face was quick to break out into a proud grin, as she pointed out several desserts on the menu with great gusto. Needless to say, the violinist was taken aback by the guitarist's sudden fervor in recommending the cafe's various sweets.

Sayo: (smiling slowly growing, getting more and more passionate) If that's the case, might I recommend the salted caramel cookie? Hazawa-san takes extra care to not let the sweetness of the caramel get too sickly. You might also appreciate a slice of the Cookies 'n' Cream ice cream cake. The vanilla ice cream at the center of the dessert should be easy on your tongue, but the chocolate cookie crumbs would also add some extra flavor and texture, without being too overbearing on your taste buds. Hazawa-san somehow manages to not over-sprinkle the crumbs on top, and makes absolutely sure that the dessert wouldn't leave too much of a mess. If you are still concerned about the mess, for whatever reason, might I recommend-

Rui: (with discomfort evident in her tone) Please try to calm yourself, Hikawa-senpai. You seem to be a bit too enraptured by Hazawa-senpai's cooking.

Upon hearing Rui's discomfort, Sayo quickly snapped out of her Hazawa-induced frenzy, before clearing her throat and trying to hide her blush beneath her hands. Internally, Sayo was glad that she, in an indirect way, confessed her pent-up affections to a trusted compatriot. The last thing she wants is for hints of her romantic affections to fall into the hands of Moca, Lisa, or even worse, Hina. 

Sayo: (apologetic) My apologies for getting carried away, Yashio-san. 

Rui: (oddly curious) I can tell by this conversation alone that you seem to be oddly invested in Hazawa-senpai's abilities. It is as if you have a rather deep history with each other, in spite of your differing bands. May I inquire as to how your oddly-intimate relationship came to be?

Although taken aback by Rui's sudden curiosity regarding her relationship with Tsugumi, Sayo decided to explain to Rui about how one little cooking class hosted by Tsugumi allowed Sayo's feelings to blossom forth, as well as extra tidbits regarding her current relationship with the brunette, like their routine book exchanges and their whole Valentine's Day escapade. Throughout the whole lecture, Sayo's blush was beginning to spread across more of her face.

—--------------------------------------

And, much to Sayo's oblivion, Tsugumi was listening in on her whole recollection, with her own blush spreading across her face. 

—--------------------------------------

In the midst of describing the Valentine's Day walk, however, Sayo's ears picked up on the hurried footsteps of the cafe's newest waitress. Upon hearing Tsukushi's scurrying, Sayo and Rui were quick to pick their menus back up and quickly scan them again.

Tsukushi: (excited) Ah! Rui-san and Sayo-senpai! Welcome to Hazawa Coffee! May I take your order?

While her eyes were supposed to remain on the menu, Rui's eyes couldn't help but wander away from the menu. For a brand-new priority ended up taking priority in Rui's mind: soaking in all of the features of the adorable waitress in front of her. 

With her big brown eyes and her plump hamster-like cheeks dotted with freckles, Tsukushi's cherubic features seemed to be especially eye-catching today. And, to serve as a cherry on top of the shortcake, the drummer's work uniform only seeks to make her adorable features all the more radiant. Attempting to shake off her flustered expression, Rui rapidly browsed the menu before settling on something. However, Rui’s hormone-addled mind could barely get words out, as both her eyes and brain were quick to wander back to Tsukushi in her waitress uniform.

Luckily, the blue-haired guitarist was helpful enough to bail her out.

Sayo: (professionally) We would take two decaf lattes and a large plate of cookies to share.

Tsukushi: (happily) Excellent choice, Sayo-senpai! 

While she was writing, what Rui presumed to be the order in her aphrodisiac-fueled mind, Tsukushi stuck her tongue out, which only caused Rui's heart to pound harder against her ribcage. 

The second the pigtailed girl left to relay the order to Tsugumi, the taller girl promptly snapped out of her barely-concealed stupor, as her face returned to its normal pale shade. Turning around to face Sayo, Rui was quick to notice that the bluenette had her phone out.

Rui: (courteously) Please continue with your recollection, Hikawa-senpai.

Upon hearing Rui's voice, Sayo promptly shoved her phone in her pocket. 

What Rui didn't know was that Sayo was staring at a certain picture taken and sent to the guitarist's group chat by one Touko Kirigaya, of a flustered Rui at the petting zoo. According to Morfonica's guitarist herself, she referred to this picture as proof of "Operation: Tsuku-Rui" being a success. Needless to say, Sayo sympathizes in both of Rui's plights: having a particular weakness for soft and fluffy animals, and being "down bad", as the other guitarists would put it, for a hard-working and adorable brunette.

Against her better judgement, Sayo formulated a game plan in her mind. 

Although to a much more latent degree, compared to the other far-more-rowdy guitarists, Sayo is no stranger to being a wingwoman for others. Her work was mostly limited to her own bandmates, but the results speak for themselves. Lisa and Yukina finally got together, after spending all of their childhood years dancing around each other, and Ako and Rinko are currently planning an IRL version of NFO's wedding event, starring each other. The guitarist feels as though Rui would benefit from more of an indirect wingwoman-ing than from whatever harebrained and nonsensical scheme could come from the minds of the other guitarists.

Sayo: (taken off guard, before regaining her composure) Oh. A-As I was saying, in spite of the cafe's closure, we managed to faithfully recreate the roll cake from the novel. I must say, our work ethics greatly complement each other, and Toyama-san, Aoba-san, and Okusawa-san seem to think the same way.

Rui: (pensively) So, it has come to my understanding that, in order to satisfy a craving for a food item found in a work of fiction, you exerted yourselves to faithfully recreate the roll cake found in that fictional work.

Sayo: (looking away slightly, blushing) Apologies if that motivation sounds like a mere flight-of-fancy.

Rui: (matter-of-factly) Believe me, my own band members have overexerted themselves, for far less.

Taking Sayo’s focused gaze as an intrigued expression of sorts, Rui offered an explanation.

Rui: (explaining) Some time prior, in spite of it not benefiting her, Futaba-san corralled the rest of Morfonica to complete some crucial student council work for me. This was all so I could get the chance to perform with an upperclassman of mine. A chance that I ended up not even taking.

Rui: (conflicted expression) To this very day, I am still confused as to why Futaba-san would sacrifice her free-time, in order to offer me such a chance, even if it doesn’t benefit her.

—--------------------------------------

On the other side of the counter, Tsukushi, against her better nature, eavesdropped on Rui’s venting session. Her heart couldn’t help but sink from hearing Rui’s words. 

Is simply offering a helping hand without ulterior motives that much of a foreign concept to the violinist, to the point that even SHE couldn’t comprehend it? What sort of environment could possibly foster such a mindset?

As much as Tsukushi wanted to call out to Rui, she chose to restrain herself, partially because she wouldn’t want to risk making a scene in the middle of the cafe, and partially because words simply won’t leave her tongue.

A tapping sensation on her shoulders snapped the short girl out of her thoughts. Turning around, Tsukushi yelped in shock at seeing Tsugumi’s face staring back at her. And after looking down, Tsukushi could see the tray holding Sayo and Rui’s order.

Tsukushi: (surprised) Ah! O-Oh! Tsugumi-senpai! I shall take that order!

—--------------------------------------

Swallowing her nervousness, Tsukushi took the larger-and-most-likely-heavier-looking tray into her shaky hands, and tried her best to look casual in front of the two professional-looking girls (and extremely attractive, in Rui’s case), as she steadily made her way to their table.

Tsukushi: (with terribly-masked nervousness) H-Here’s your order!

Sayo/Rui: (in unison) Thank you, Futaba-san.

Taking one of the cookies and plopping it into her mouth, Sayo smiled with the glee that usually comes from indulging herself in Hazawa Coffee’s many delectable goods. Following her senpai’s lead, Rui took one of the cookies and hesitantly munched on it, to her surprising delight, for the cookies managed to satisfy her in both taste and texture.

Rui: (slightly nodding) This shall suffice.

Sayo: (delighted) Hazawa-san’s cooking is still as delightful as ever, I see. Send my compliments to her.

The short girl’s sheer joy at the icy girls’ approval (but especially from Rui) caused her walk back to the counter to be interspersed with a little skip and the humming of a happy little tune. Tsukushi’s cheerful grin and childish skip-walking caused Rui’s face to quickly redden to an even brighter extent, as her heartbeat picked up its pace. Turning her head away from the object of her affections barely seemed to slow down her heartbeat, for it is getting increasingly difficult for the violinist to get the pint-sized drummer out of her mind.

Everything both objectively and subjectively eye-catching about Tsukushi seemed to be especially highlighted today. From her short height, to her adorable facial features, to her earnest attempts at leading the group, to her stellar work ethic, the list keeps growing longer and longer in Rui’s mind.

Seeing Rui quickly becoming more and more of a sapphic disaster, Sayo took this opportunity to give the violinist the subtle romantic support that she needs. Calling Rui’s name a couple of times seemed to tether the dark-haired girl back down to earth, for her face returned to its usual pale hue and her eyes regained focus.

Sayo: (professionally) As someone who feels as though we share a… “solidarity” of sorts, allow me to offer you some advice that has assisted me in some…rougher times. 

Sayo: (smiling) If one were to offer you help, it would be in your best interest to accept that help. This assistance could potentially help you in finding your own note.

Rui, far from oblivious, knew exactly what the blue-haired girl meant by that adage: an abridged retelling of her whole history with Tsugumi Hazawa. 

Yet, the violinist couldn’t help but ponder about that strategy. She could hardly explain why, but something about Sayo’s adage seems to resonate within Rui’s mind. 

Something about finding something that had long been lost and snuffed out.

Rui: (nodding) I shall keep that advice in mind, Hikawa-senpai.

Needless to say, Sayo was surprised that her improvised adage managed to win over the iron-willed Rui. But ultimately, there was a bigger priority on her plate, literally. A good majority of Tsugumi’s cookies were still uneaten, and she (along with her underclassman) still had to finish them, lest the test of time renders them stale and undesirable. Once Sayo got back to her cookies, Rui was shockingly quick to follow.

—--------------------------------------

On the other end of the counter, Tsukushi was excitedly recounting her successful waitering to her senpai and co-worker. Her hands gestured around cheerfully, as her eyes sparkled with glee.

Tsukushi: (happily) …And get THIS! Rui-san praised me! I could just see it in her eyes! And Sayo-senpai too! Praise from professionals like Sayo Hikawa and Rui Yashio! How lucky could I possibly get?!

Upon lowering herself from Cloud Nine, the drummer noticed that the keyboardist was staring off into space.

Tsukushi: (taken aback) Are you even listening to me, senpai?!

However, it was very clear that Tsugumi wasn’t getting off of her own Cloud Nine.

Tsugumi: (internally) Oh, Sayo-san…and to think this all started from a silly cooking class…and here you are…educating the next generation…

—--------------------------------------

Author's Note: Hopefully more people would appreciate the solidarity between these two ships (as well as people hopping on the TsukuRui bandwagon, in general)!

“You. Rest. Now.” himari @ tsugu :-0

"Eh? Himari-chan?"

Tsugumi blinked a few times as she looked up at her best friend, before her eyes flitted back down- Not to the schoolwork in front of her, but to her slightly shaking hands. She’d been working so hard- With Afterglow, obviously, but also the café, schoolwork, her student council duties, and practicing with Yukina-senpai, Maya-senpai, and the others... She knew, realistically, that she was taking on too much work. Just like she always did. But, still... She felt like she needed to do the most she could- To catch up to her friends and stop holding them back, to make her parents proud, to be the best Hazawa Tsugumi she could—

She didn’t want a repeat of last time, though. She still remembered the looks on her friends’ faces when they saw her in the hospital that day, as clearly as if it were yesterday- The concern and love they’d all shown her. How they’d all come running the moment they knew. ...She couldn’t do that to them again.

Her shoulders slumped as she let out a long sigh, tired eyes finally shifting back towards Himari. “...You’re right, Himari-chan. I don’t want you to have come all this way to study together just to stop because of me, though...”

FemEx Dear Creator Letter

Hello there! Thank you so much for joining this exchange. I’m so excited to see whatever you make!

Here is a list of some things I’m looking for in the stuff I requested! If you have stronger ideas and a story you’re just dying to tell about one of these ships, please go full steam ahead. First off though, I’d like to clarify somethings I really, really would not like to receive:

NSFW of minors (I consider this as characters aged up to 20). Please don’t include this at all. 

NSFW for characters who are of age is fine - but I’d prefer it to be subtle rather than the point. 

PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE FINGER PAINTING, FINGERNAIL/TOENAIL TRAUMA OR OTHER FOCUS ON NAILS - it’s a big squick!!

Here are some things I’m super happy to receive!!

Character studies, including ones with unsatisfying conclusions

Dark themes including assault, murder and death, provided they’re handled with care 

Discussion of past relationships that don’t include the couple who is the main thrust of the work

Trans headcanons! (I especially love trans girl hcs for Kaoru Seta, Mari Ohara, Selphie Tilmitt, Ursula Callistis and Croix Meridies but anyone is fair game!)

Alright, let’s get stuck in!

1. BANG DREAM! GIRLS BAND PARTY

Tsugumi Hazawa/Sayo Hikawa 

I love this ship - I really suggest reading their first interactions in this event to get a feel for how they interact, if you have only had access to the English version. I’d especially love an internal look at Tsugumi’s feelings if it’s fic, and a cute shared moment with sweets for art. 

Kaoru Seta/Kokoro Tsurumaki and Kaoru Seta/Hagumi Kitazawa/Kokoro Tsurumaki

So here's the thing - Kaoru and Kokoro talk past each other constantly and I actually LOVE that. I think it's made even better by having Hagumi as a mediator (Hagumi is stupid but she's not as stupid as Kaoru, and benefits from Kokoro's weird brand of emotional intelligence.)

I want to see them having madcap adventures, buffeted to ever greater heights of idiocy, but also tenderness too. Let them get a little closer than they do as co-buffoons!

Kaoru Seta/Himari Uehara/Rimi Ushigome

While it's super cute that both Rimi and Himari are head over heels for Kaoru I would love it if she got flustered by both of their attention too!

Kaoru Seta/Maya Yamato

It might be a little unorthodox to request a non-romantic cameo but I would LOVE to see Chisato's reaction to this. I like that Maya doesn't fall victim to Kaoru's ridiculousness (maybe due to overexposure?) and it puts her in a perfect position to make the first move for once.

Kanon Matsubara/Chisato Shirasagi

I like this at its best when it's bittersweet, something that Chisato is clinging to a little too desperately while trying to look like she isn't. A touch or two of sadness goes a long way here with this ship, though of course I love cute fluffiness too.

Misaki Okusawa/Rimi Ushigome

My poor forgotten friendship! How I wish the game would remember that they interact! They're both fans of horror fiction which is ADORABLE. Make use of it!

Aya Maruyama/Maya Yamato

Their names are practically the same it's like fated (no but seriously. I love how Maya is so openly supportive of Maya when others are bringing her down, and how Aya sticks up for Maya and celebrates all her weird little foibles. Cute as heck.)

2. Love Live! Sunshine!! 

Kanan Matsuura/You Watanabe

I like this best post-highschool after both of them have grown up some, but you can feel free to set it when the series happens if you like. I like that they're both silly jocks who love the ocean, so any work focusing on a maritime theme is A+!

Kanan Matsuura/Dia Kurosawa AND Dia Kurosawa/Kanan Matsuura/Mari Ohara

My OT3... My favourite dynamic between them is Kanan and Dia but I do also love when Mari is there to be the shiny, sparkly bond that glues the group together. Super happy to read about fights and disagreements with these three so long as they all make up by the end

3. Steven Universe

Garnet/Peridot

I'm really interested in this as a character building piece for both of them; Garnet has to learn to not be such of a pedestal and set boundaries, Peridot has to apologise and keep apologising and also learn to give herself over to the moment more. It's okay if it's just a moment of tenderness between the two of them without anything concrete, but building to a relationship is fine too.

Bismuth/Garnet 

Again, I really want to see them get back up to speed with each other. Something harking back to their past together would be super lovely too!

Bismuth/Pearl

This is a bit more self-indulgent but it would be so nice to see Bismuth help Pearl dress a little more butch, get a little more in touch with that side of herself. I'd love for Pearl to open up more fully to Bismuth and make her feel secure... 

4. Gatchaman Crowds

Hajime Ichinose/Utsutsu Miya

My OTP of all OTPs. Anything you could possibly provide to me I will treasure, provided it's SFW (unless it's post canon and they're adults). I want to see them in love but also I love seeing the imbalance in their power explored, Utsutsu's sadness and Hajime's manic happiness, I love everything about them. 

5. Sora yori mo Tooi Basho

Takako Kobuchizawa/Gin Toudou

While a retrospective on their relationship is exciting, I'd also appreciate just plain old flashback fic exploring how much they meant to each other when they were raising Shirase.

Shirase Kobuchizawa/Hinata Miyake AND Yuzuki Shiraishi/Mari Tamaki AND Shirase Kobuchizawa/Hinata Miyake/Yuzuki Shiraishi/Mari Tamaki

I love all of these dynamics equally and would be super delighted to receive any of them! With Shirase/Hinata I'm all about the difficulty in communication between them, and navigating the gaps. When they can connect it feels like a relief, almost, and I love that. 

Yuzuki and Kimari are much softer and sillier by contrast and lend themselves well to goofy shenanigans, especially because of Yuzuki's sharp tongue. When all four of them are together I like it best as it is in the show, but with more kissing. 

Megumi Takahashi/Mari Tamaki

Oh please kill me with angst for these two I invite it openly (Megu's jealousy is a great resource, but also Kimari's stubbornness to keep loving her - they can make it work if they work hard! I believe in them!)

Yume Sasaki/Honami Yasumoto

I feel like its a given to ask for fanfic where the two of them get absolutely sauced and spill everything about their feelings about each other but can you blame me for wanting that

Gin Toudou/Kanae Maekawa

Would love to see this potentially contrasted with their prior relationship with Takako and how they're picking up the pieces from it.

6. Teppuu

Natsuo Ishido/Sanae Sawamura

I really love how integral their relationship is to the work without it ever overshadowing everything else; it's very subtle. Well, now I'd like it to take center stage for once. They can kiss while fighting right???

Mai Ganeko/Sanae Sawamura

Mai is such a sycophant, bless her. It would be nice to see Sanae finally validate her a little.

Karin Kotani/Mitsuko Honma

Good old fashioned rivalry with a spark of mutual respect. Imagine if Karin got to win for once? How would they both react?

Mitsuko Honma/Shinobu Kannagi

Really love how thorougly Shinobu knocks Mitsuko off kilter, so making use of that would be super fun (I also love the contrast in their personalities, with Shinobu being a big teddy bear and Mitsuko being a terrifying ice queen)

Karin Kotani/Manami Hiki

Manami is still such a n00b in so many ways and it would be great if she got some special focus from Karin for a change. The dash of hopeless pity just makes it cuter imo.

Kei Ninomiya/Mai Ganeko

I didn't figure anyone else shipped this! I like Kei getting to break away from Natsuo to talk and grow close with other characters (though I'd of course welcome Natsuo's presence in a fic like this). They can bond over being the sidekicks to extremely intense women who hate each other, haha!

7. Professor Layton

Katrielle Layton/Emiliana Perfetti

Just please... I want to see them solving a mystery together... and Katrielle giving Emiliana a jubilant kiss when they figure it out, and consequently ruining her life

8. Marvel Cinematic Universe

Nakia/Okoye 

PLEASE THE WHOLE MOVIE I WAS BEGGING THEM TO INTERACT give me anything. I will take literally anything. Space AU. Mafia AU. Bodyguard AU seems too obvious, right? In canon, I'd really appreciate an exploration of what they mean to each other and a way to make it work while keeping both their principles intact.

9. Final Fantasy VIII

Selphie Tilmitt/Selphie's Friend (FF8)

Even as a little kid I felt like this was ripe for potential, especially considering how Zell and other party members conduct their romantic business outside of the main party. I'd love to see her coming back to Trabia after the end of the story and getting to relax with her girlfriend for once. (Name the girlfriend whatever you want, but if it's hard to name her how about Tabitha?)

10. Little Witch Academia

Ursula Callistis | Chariot du Nord/Croix Meridies

I'm obsessed with the idea of Ursula determined to redeem Croix by her own hands even when the rest of the world spurns her (and rightfully so!), so something with comedic potential or a more meaty emotional exploration are both things I'd love to see or read.

Atsuko Kagiri/Sucy Manvaran/Lotte Yanson

I love my silly weird protag trio. I think what I'd most like to see here is how they became a couple and then more than a couple; bonus points for keeping Sucy her malevolent, extremely dangerous self while retaining all that exhausted fondness both she and Lotte have for Akko.

Thanks so much for reading so far!! I really appreciate it. :D 

To whomever I'm writing for, I hope I do a good job! Sorry if you were expecting something especially NSFW, haha, but I hope I can do your ships justice!  LETS GO LESBIANS LETS GO

[songweare]

Oh no.

@forideals

It had been a long day. First with class, then student council activities- Hina-senpai had been distracted the whole time, saying something about how boppin' going scuba diving would be- And now, work. Tsugumi didn't mind working at the café by any means; it was home, and her parents did pay her fairly. After a long day, though, it was tiring. She looked down at her hands for a moment, chestnut eyes resting on the callouses formed from her keyboard practice. Her mind wandered once more to Roselia's recent performance at Future World Fes, how excellently they had played- How they had gone and achieved their first major goal. That was what Yukina-senpai had said, at least. It made her wonder if Afterglow's goal had been set too high- While Poppin' Party, Roselia, and Raise a Suilen had all performed at Budokan- it wasn't fully through their own actions, as impressive as they were... Would Afterglow ever reach that goal?

She shook her head, briefly clapping her hands against her cheeks and prompting a few chuckles from the regulars- It wasn't exactly an uncommon sight, that. She heard the bell over the door ring, and looked up, glad that whoever was coming in hadn't seen that... And she broke out into a happy, wide smile when she saw that figure walking through the door, her heart beating a touch faster. It had been a few days since she'd last been here...

"Hi, Sayo-san! Are you just getting off practice?"
