A fic so good it makes you dust off your blog you haven't used in three years.

This comic is based of a section of chapter 10 of Kein Weg Zurück, i thought the interactions were really cute, so i wanted to illustrate it!

Transformers is one of those things I migrate in and out of remembering when the hyperfiaxtion comes on, but my love for TFA never faultered, and so was it for this pairing. I guess @morethanmeetstheass RoE series also became one of the foudantions for this ship, which is deserved, these series are really, really good! Go read it! It's on Ao3!

No, cuz his expression says it all.

- With Alver, smile of someone who will give another headache to a certain crown prince

- With Choi Han, a look of someone who is scared that he might break his bones teaching the young man yet serious cuz he was asked for it

- With Rosalyn, smile of a proud and expected look

- With Kids, Awkward, Stiff yet enjoys it cuz of the energetic kiddos.

Happy birthday Cale!! Don't ask me how they convinced him to dance with them, all you need is that he'll need a long nap afterwards.

Look at the Piggybank

Look at the Piggybank!

It's shaped like Raon!!!

....this must mean Hong and Ohn's piggbanks are cat shaped with their respective colors, right?

-thinks back to the Top Whips Test on the Wind Island where only the kids piggybanks were left-

...That scene is so much more devastating now

Choosing

Raon: Human! Which one is us is the smartest!!!

Cale: Raon, I can’t possibly choose between the 3 of you since you are all very clever and smart in different ways. It’s an imposible question.

Raon and Hong *giggling with joy out the door*: Yes I guess that is very true!!

Cale *turns to Ohn*: it’s you…and by a lot. I once saw them have a whole conversation with a rock.

Who is the likeliest of the children averaging 10 years old to call Cale Dad first?

Hong. It's Hong. No questions asked. I'd be actually very surprised if it's not him.

Raon is too prideful to admit he thinks of this human as his daddy. He listens to Cale well but notice how he has never put a label on their relationship. Cale has never called himself Raon's guardian in front of Raon either (cmiiw). We don't really know what Raon thinks of Cale as.

Ohn is a similar case. She's the oldest of the three and mature for her age. She would not call this frail looking dude who's hardly a decade older than her as dad. Plus, she remembers her parents. She might find it hard to call someone else as dad.

Hong is definitely the likeliest to do it first because he doesn't sweat the details. He also might not have as clear memories of his parents as his sister. So he wouldn't think too much about it before calling Cale dad.

Happy birthday to the beautiful, money-loving single father to three most wonderful and destructive children ever. Hope he will achieve his slacker life dream soon.

Honestly speaking, at this rate his hair will get as long as Rapunzel’s before he could actually retire from the world-hopping business.

Of course happy birthday to the three Chois too, haha.

So I've recently been re-reading TCF And chapter 196 is such an excellent example of how Cale interacts with the people around him, how he views himself and how they view him. This is also at the point in the novel where he hasn't really accepted that he is Cale now, not KRS, because he doesn't feel like he can.

So anyway, we start the chapter seeing the people of Rain City react to Cale's shield and they say something important!

"Won't he faint is he uses such a large shield? Why doesn't he just activate it when the northern bastards come?" "Can't you tell? He doesn't want to see us or the territory getting hurt at all."

At first, I thought this was just the regular drama of people reacting to Cale, but then Choi Han, the kids, and Ron tell him he's being ridiculous, and I realize the townsfolk are right.

The Wyvern Battle is only the 2nd or 3rd major battle Cale has been in so far but only as Cale. As KRS, he's done this before, and having read later chapters, we know Cale holds so much guilt over those battles and how he wanted to keep those he cared for away from it all but couldn't. After all, record only gives him information to guide them and make plans; he often couldn't physically protect them. How many times has he defended a shelter or teammates and wished he could have just covered them all with a shield instead of giving commands from the back? We know how guilty he feels over Choi Jung Soo and Lee Soo Hyuk's deaths.

He knows he doesn't have to keep it up, and he's the one who spreads a rumour that it's taking all of his energy, but he's already considering himself a "bad person" for taking military command and only giving orders. (except that's what it means to take military command?) There is absolutely another motive for keeping the shield around the city. Cale wants the opposing forces to view him as weakened, or he doesn't want people to think his power is as strong as it is. However, at the same time, he's absolutely protecting them because, just like the townsperson says, he doesn't want to see any of them get hurt by an attack he could have blocked.

Cale is doing what he can to undermine himself while claiming he's going to make everyone else the hero of this battle, but he won't drop the shield, which means no one can disregard or forget his involvement. It's not intentional! He's just literally made himself the first line of defense as a direct parallel to every time he was the last line as KRS. He wants to stay at the back, he does not plan to get involved unless he has to, but Cale won't let himself stay out of it. So the shield goes up and stays for multiple days.

Meanwhile, all Choi Han, Ron and the kids see is Cale surrounded by paperwork (because taking command of the entire Northeast is a lot of work), keeping a shield up that's known to make him cough up blood (they don't know about it getting stronger or the vitality of heart), and only sleeping 1 to 2 hours a night (thank you crybaby), so they assume it's a combination of work and concentration to keep the shield up. As usual, they're worried and frustrated at Cale's self-sacrificing tendencies.

We haven't even gotten to the actual battle yet, but this is such a great setup of how it's going to go and how the novel goes.

Es gibt nichts lauteres als, das Schweigen zwischen zwei Menschen, die füreinander bestimmt waren, es aber nicht konnten, weil einer von ihnen zu unreif war, um seine Prioritäten richtig zu setzen.
