one thing about ans that really impressed me and that i found absolutely refreshing is like. how GOOD zen and his family are, for being royals. they love their kingdom and they will do EVERYTHING right by them, and it isn't just talk!!! usually in fantasy you'll see problems with the head of a monarchial system (or whatever system is in place), whether it's corrupted power or incompetently silly/ridiculous (hi raji), but zen and izana are genuinely invested in caring for their people and their land and sorata makes sure to prove it over and over again!!!! zen eats and trains with the soldiers and he sneaks out to regularly check on the citizens and EVERY single time status becomes a problem he immediately tries to chuck that shit out the window (see: marquis haruka and kiharu vs viscount blaker). izana manipulated two crooked lords out of their estates and returned all the unfair taxes they gave him. he quarantined lyrias because he trusted the word of shirayuki, a royal pharmacist, and that's what someone of his position should do (ie listen to the professionals that their subordinates hired in the first place)!!! he's set to marry a high-ranking academic authority out of love (i'm, like, pretty sure at least), because his kingdom is secure and healthy! people cheered when the crowned passed to izana from haruto!!! everyone in clarines is cared for and loved and they care for and love the wistarias right back!!! it's just so lovely and so impressive to see because you COULD make a really easy conflict out of how horrible the ruling family is, especially considering zen's and shirayuki's positions, but that's never been a problem at all!!!
#arguably haki is also in a ranked enough position herself that ppl wouldn't doubt her the way they doubt shirayuki but#and it's not like marrying haki would have secured anything for izana#it's been a while since i read that part so maybe i'm wrong but they were really cute together#and i dont think i should have said they were good FOR royals. they're good AT BEING royals. bc that's what they SHOULD be doing!!!#also i feel like sorata shows how healthy clarines is in so many smaller different ways#like how people are free to research and study (lyrias arc)#how accessible public pharmacies are for the normal citizens#how easy it was for kiharu to get an audience with zen and voice her case#i could talk about sorata's worldbuilding FOREVER honestly it's like one of my favorite things of all time#akagami no shirayukihime#ans#snow white with the red hair#swwtrh#sou says stuff

With Royal Ceremony, We Welcome You
I finished my gift for @noctusfury (or @herbyuki)! It is a "long" oneshot by me, and it is HakiZana! I know you've been working hard to give us a HakiZana Week coming up, and I read your and Els' cowritten first chapter of a fic, and I was surprised to see that you made yourselves into Haki and Izana's children! So, I thought, you would enjoy a fic, with them as parents too! :) Also, you get a bonus side of ZenYuki, which I thought you would also enjoy!

featuring wildly out of character izana: an introduction to the retsu au that's been eating at my brain for weeks
Touka Bergatt is dead. Dame Retsu Sion, vassal of House Arleon, Captain of the Lilias Knights Circle, knighted by Her Majesty herself in honour of her noble deeds, readily pleads guilty. This is all very terrible news for Izana, who knows even before Lady Arleon’s letter arrives that he needs to find someone else to pin this on, and fast.
The restoration of order to the North has been a long and arduous process. He’s well aware of this, thanks to both Her Majesty and Lady Arleon keeping him constantly informed, the latter through genuine reports and the former through drunken ramblings. There is no one better suited to Warden of the North than his honourable mother, he knows. So he only really pays attention when it’s Haki giving updates, through her brother or her own correspondence. Touka Bergatt is familiar to him, if only because Haki’s knight says, “You remind me of someone,” and then makes a face and turns tail, and he has to hunt down Haki to ask what the hell that means and the only answer he gets is peals of laughter.
Regardless. He’s aware of Touka Bergatt, and what his existence means for the North. He’s aware of Lady Arleon’s lacking hopes in his and his clan’s true assimilation under the royal banner. He’s aware, even if she treats them affably in public and in private, of Her Majesty’s true thoughts on the matter.
But the North is not his headache to contend with. He has all the rest of Clarines to wrestle with, and a brother to raise. Her Majesty can keep her monopoly on the North, contested only by Arleon. It’s not his problem. It never will be.
Then Touka dies, and he almost thinks it’s a good thing, until the next little tidbit of news is, “Haki’s knight killed him.”
Not that anyone actually calls her Haki’s knight anymore. It’s more Captain of Lilias, or Viscount Sion, or Rugilia’s betrothed(?). He’s not sure where that last one came from, but he’s not particularly concerned. Because to him, first and foremost, she will always be Haki’s knight, because Haki will never let him forget that.
Because the letter on his desk, arriving almost faster than the scandal of the murder, says approximately this: You will have no North, if we lose Retsu.
We, of course, being Haki alone, because she’s never been abashed in leveraging her authority. He’d admired that, once. Still does, if begrudgingly, because. Well. The North has never been his problem. How could he possibly change this?
Especially when the killer herself admits it?
You will have no North, Haki’s letter threatens, so he sighs, leaves his castle to Haruka (You will have no Wistal, he writes, before clarity strikes and he tosses it in the fireplace) and makes his way to winter.
And she’s not even grateful, is the worst part. He uses and abuses his royal authority to get her out of the cells and under his own watch and all she has to say is, “Who are you?” Fine. Maybe he doesn’t need the North. Haki can keep it, along with Her Majesty, along with their dead Bergatt and his very alive and angry followers. He much prefers the Wistal winters to Wilant summers anyway.
#if i were to describe the relationships in this id say theyre all secret third thing. be it izaretsu or hakiretsu or hakizana#hakizana are def engaged and “partners” in every sense#but retsu is hakis knight and everything that means#and izana/retsu are having a annoyances to something important arc and are the central focus#as they work thru the norths issues and finding someone else to blame for toukas death#as two people who are hilariously uninformed abt whatever the political atmosphere there actually Is#izana can of course overcome that super quick but retsu just does not care. she did very much kill touka. bc that seemed appropriate#bc touka wants to take over the north and that means dethroning the wisterias and arleon and that means wanting haki#and well. shes her knight. she does what she has to#retsu#letters from viol et al#that may be too many tags

The Sword Between, Chapter 5
[Read on AO3]
Blue silk settles over her like an estranged acquaintance; two years ago it had fit like a second skin, but now it squeezes at the bust and requires far fewer petticoats to pad out her hips. The hem, however, settles perfectly— a finger’s breadth above the the floor, just as it always had. A terrible way to learn she hasn’t grown a single, vertical inch since seventeen. Makiri will be practically unlivable.
“Such a pretty color, my lady.” Ami’s hands smooth over the skirt, coaxing out the creases that linger at her waist. Haki is half-tempted to tell her not to bother; it’s a fabric that begs to be rumpled, the furrowing above her hips only serving as a reminder of how hands might sit there, silk wrinkled in their grip. Of how easily it might crumple beneath the slightest pressure, like petals plucked from a flower's stem.
The last time she had worn this dress, she'd been more concerned about whether her prince might find her singing voice pretty, or hear rumors of her fair face and be tempted to sneak north simply for a glimpse of it than what an enterprising young man and a willing young lady might get up to in Wilant's dark corners. But Lowen had been her age now-- older, if she does not mistake her figures, though not by much-- and more than ready to contemplate such arrangements. Had he thought of it even as he knelt before her, head bowed in deference, swearing to protect her body with his own? Had he gazed up at her with that that placid mask of his, still as a lake's surface, and felt the first ripples of--?
“His Highness will surely think it suits.”
Haki's secretive smile sours to a pout. “I look young.”
Feels young is more like it, fingering the fall of lace at her décolletage. She’d been little more than a child the last time she donned this particular frock, and it’d been a season out style even then, the seamstresses of the city unable to keep up with the rush to raise bust lines and drop hemlines and overhaul sleeves altogether. But she had been proud of this one, so unlike the other gowns father had gotten for her— practically modern and made with silk bought off Tanbarunian traders instead of salvaged from one of Mother’s old gowns. A fairy tale of a dress, a dream, and...
And she’d put it away with all the others when the first prince had made clear he was in no rush to settle down with a lady wife. Yet here she was now, trotting it out to spin another story for a child even younger than she. There was poetry in that, perhaps, even if it was only the sad kind.
“Boys like His Highness do prefer a youthful lady,” Ami muses, gaze meeting hers in the mirror. “At least, if he’s naught but sixteen, as your father’s man says.”
Haki hardly misses the stress on that— your father’s man. As if she could not lay the same word's at Ami's feet-- her father's maid, paid to make sure all of her most embarrassing escapades ended up in the duke's ear.
“A pity there’s no time to have me done up in ringlets.” Fine hairs flyaway from the loose braids behind her ears; she smooths them down. “It would have made for a much more convincing ingénue.”
Ami is not the sort to smirk or sneer, but there is a twitch at the corner of her lips, a wryness that not even her scrupulous good manners can smother. “You are hardly old enough to need tricks for that, my lady. Sir Lowen is right” —as much as she is loath to admit it now, her sigh says— “it would be little hardship to fall in love with you in this dress.”
She doubts that this prince will be moved to devotion by a frock near three years out of date or by the older woman wearing it, but she must admit-- there is some charm left to it. The blue brings out the palest shades of her eyes and complements the most honeyed tones in her hair; a far cry from the humble damsel awaiting her rescue, but a fairy tale princess nonetheless.
“One can hope,” she breathes, hand splayed over the fabric at her belly. “Or at least fair enough to inspire some foolishness.”
Ami hums; a melody that swings between agreement and agitation with every note. “Certainly more reasonable men have made themselves fools for you.”
It’s a pointed remark, for all that she can’t think of a single one. The men who frequent Wilant are friends of her father, old enough to have children her own age. Few of them spare her a glance, save if they have a son her age, though those have been few and far between since her betrothal. There are soldiers of course— guardsmen who care more about Makiri’s skill than her conversation— and servants, but none that—
“Is there anything else I’ll be needing to take care of, my lady?” Ami asks, solicitously smoothing out the lace at her shoulder. And yet her gaze fixes elsewhere in the mirror, somewhere over Haki’s shoulder. The door to the sitting room, as if she’s waiting for someone to walk through. A ridiculous worry with Lowen guarding the door. “Anything that needs an extra cleaning?”
Her gaze cuts towards where the dressing screen sits, toile covered in scenes of young ladies picnicking and small dogs running over picturesque stone ruins. There’s not a stain on it, as cream-and-teal as it was the day she’d had it brought it, hoping that it might help keep the heat in around her—
Her bed. A pertinent question for a maid to ask after she had been sent away for the night, assured that there would be another set of hands to help her charge undress. Who had only seen a rumpled mess of sheets when she arrived in the morning, fire lit by an expert’s hands. And now with whatever she had seen in the hall…
Well, if she had thought her reflection young before, her flush makes it positively childish now. “N-no. There’s no need to—”
It’s mortifying to try to put the night into words. How close she had trod to impropriety, only to be rebuffed. How sure she was of his interest even so, only for yet another prince to put himself between them. Oh, if that Bergatt boy put himself before her right now and asked if she would like to see the end of the Wisteria reign, she could hardly be responsible for the answer she might give.
A practiced breath draws her upright, shoulders square as her father had taught her— you are my daughter, he would grunt, holding them straight in his hands, there are few to whom you must bow, and none to whom you must bend. It is not a sweet young princess that looks back at her in the mirror, but a lady of the North, ready to defend her walls.
“There is nothing with which you must concern yourself with,” she says with all the ice her blood can summon. “I think you will find your hands full already, trying to find more dresses that will please His Highness during his stay.”
“As you say, my lady.” Ami bows her head, as a servant ought, but it does little to conceal her smile— or her relief. “Though I’m sure there will be quite a few, if I look among some of your older wardrobe.”
It takes a concerted effort not to grimace. She too had been a more whimsical girl once, as taken with fairy stories as she was with the old lays, dreaming of knights and their ladies. Of princes disguised and true love’s kiss. “They will need to be retrimmed.”
“Of course.” There’s a fondness as Ami lays her hand on a trunk, a wistfulness Haki cannot quite understand. “I’ll see to it.”
“Good.” She steps down from the mirror with a sigh, her dress rustling after her like leaves in the underbrush. “I’ll need all the help I can get.”
*
Lowen is on his feet when she sweeps into the parlor. Odd; for all his much vaunted skill in the ring— a beast with a blade in his hand, Makiri had always told her, like he’s fighting for his life— her guardsman always seemed more apt to lounge than lunge outside it. And yet as he stands there, attention drawn to the angle of her entrance, his weight shifts in a way that implies movement rather than repose.
“Come.” It would be simple to brush too close as she passes him, to let their eyes meet in a gaze so heavy it might well be a caress, but she bustles past instead, careful to keep even the barest hint of ruffle from slipping over his boots. “My father calls.”
It is not until her toes cross the carpet’s edge that she realizes their are no footfalls behind her, that Lowen has not fallen into step, using that rangy stride of his to eat up the distance between them. No, when she glances over her shoulder, he is still where she last left him, hands curled to fists at his side.
“Sir.” There is a layer of reproach as she speaks, covering the concern beneath it. “He is waiting.”
His fingers twitch, the barest flinch. “Are you certain?”
Haki does not turn to him— that would be a concession too far, a confession with a dearer cost than she can afford— but her shoulder does lower. “That Father waits?”
“No.” Lowen hardly allows a thought to stray across his face, let alone wears his heart on his sleeve, but there is something that lurk beneath the gaze he fixes on her, a castigation and a plea all in one. “That it is wise to bring me.”
A princess does not allow her mouth to thin, does not let her eyebrows angle to imply impatience; a good thing, then, that Haki is not one yet.
“Sir, if there is anything that I am certain of, it is that.” She shifts— not a ceding of ground, but a firming of resolve. A planting of her feet, gaining better leverage to yank on his leash. “Come. You would not have your lady go to battle without her knight.”
Still, he remains unmoved. Not even the barest sway to show he’s heard her.
“Is that what this is?” he says after a long moment. “A battle?”
Her mouth works for a moment, uncertain. “What else can it be? If my father were to bend any more…”
Then the North would be broken. On one side would be the ones who still clung to Father’s prudence, who would see profit in playing Wistal’s games, and on the other—
Well, it had been said once that the stones between Wilant and Oriold would never wash clean. That even now, when the snows melt, the side of the roads run red. The lords of the North may play at civility now, nodding at the southern court’s fashion of love and courtly graces, but that only hides the histories written with bloodied hands.
Lowen breathes, eyes fluttering shut as he takes it in, but when they open—
There is steel there. A resolve that does not waver. “Then let us go to battle, my lady.”
*
She is too aware of Lowen as they make their way through Wilant’s halls; aware of how his gaze lingers on her, tracing the fall of lace along her collar and dragging down the silken curve of her waist. Aware of the space between them, just enough for an arm to reach across and grab, for the inches to disappear between them and to finally finish the conversation Ami had so unfortunately interrupted.
It’s tempting to turn, to catch his eyes and invite the sort of resolution it would bring. But even though his stare burns hot enough to catch her alight, he does not speak. Not a single word to draw her attention, not a single brush of skin against skin to call her to him. Although her legs tremble effort with the effort to keep putting one slipper in front of the other and her neck aches from keeping it angled straight ahead, he does not stop her, not once.
It is too important, she realizes. For all that she wants to clutch at Lowen’s shoulders and ask just what thought churn behind that stare of his, it is a distraction she can ill afford. Her father’s plans are balanced on a blade’s edge, and it is her who decides which way their fortunes tip.
She will not disappoint him.
It is still Arleon guards on the door to the great hall, and they move aside before she even utters, “My father is expecting me.”
A single step inside is enough to know why: the prince’s party has already arrived. Still covered in the dust from the road by the looks of it, harried and eager to be shown to the privacy of their chambers. By the wary angle of the royal guards’ shoulders, Father and Makiri have resorted to thin excuses to keep them here. Waiting for her.
With a steeling breath, she nods to the footman at the door. “Lady Haki,” he announces, the slightest tremble in his voice. He’s not used to such esteemed visitors, it seems. “First daughter of his lordship, the Duke Arleon.”
If she thought she might have trouble picking out the prince from among all this white and blue and broad shoulders, she is saved the trouble; his party drops to show the deference due to a duke’s daughter, leaving only a single one of them on his feet.
The queen consort had sent her a gift once, during the months in which her father and the king dickered over the finer points of her betrothal of the first prince— a miniature, done fully in oils, of Izana himself. Long engagements may be prudent, she had written in her elegant hand, letters looping across the page, but they often are lonely. Let this satisfy both your company and your curiosity.
He could not have been more than fifteen, maybe sixteen when he had sat for the portrait, but even so, there was a gravity to that narrow face, a piercing quality to the deepness in his eyes. A regal tilt to his pointed chin, a knowing that lingered in this corners of his mouth; strangely serious for a prince who would become more known for parties than policy. Not yet a man, but she could see the one he would make once the last of childhood was stripped from his cheeks.
What they have sent her now is hardly more than a child.
His brother’s portrait might have hinted at manhood, but this boy— his face is still round, baby fat still clinging stubbornly to his bones. Perhaps there is a threat of a heavy jaw lingering there, a promise of something masculine and square opposed to Izana’s more feminine angles, but it is impossible to tell beneath those full cheeks, flushed and flawless as a doll’s. His hair is cut the same way of his brother’s, but instead of falling with a stately sort of grace across his forehead, it is a dandelion’s tuft, baby-fine and untamed.
“Ah, Your Highness.” Father’s gaze holds hers for a long moment before it drops to the would-be heir, meeting his wide eyes with no hint of his displeasure. “You have yet to meet the reason for all our celebration, I assume. Haki” — his hand sweeps out, beckoning— “come. Greet our honored guest.”
She doesn’t not so much walk as float down the runner of the Great Hall, skirts swaying as if it is only clouds that ruffle their hem, not carpet. It takes hours of practice to turn that which is earthly to the ethereal, but Haki had long shouldered every ache and tumble in the name of causing her prodigal husband to swallow his tongue at the altar.
There is something far less satisfying about inspiring the same reaction in his brother. “It is an honor that you have come for so humble an occasion, Your Highness.”
“Of course.” His voice is reedy, not quite finished changing even if she can hear the man in it. It breaks at her flawless curtsy, flustered. “I mean, the honor is mine. It is hardly every day that we can celebrate such a fine young lady becoming a woman.”
It’s the sort of thing a fond uncle might say, not a boy four years her junior, but Haki smiles nonetheless, hoping it does not sit as stiff as it feels. “You are too kind, sir.”
“Not at all,” he insists with a graciousness that would seem more natural on a man three times his age. “It is its own sort of accomplishment. To be, er…”
“Twenty.” When Makiri smiles it is all teeth, a wolf scenting blood on the snow. “That’s how old my sister is. Old enough to get married now, according to your southerners, isn’t it?”
The prince is too earnest— and his skin far too pale— to cover the flush that blooms up his neck, painting him pink from collar to brow. “T-that is true. But, erm…” His gaze casts about, trying to find a safe place to perch. “Ah, b-but I haven’t yet introduced my party. Sirs…?”
One of the men rises— dark hair shorn short enough that she can see a neck as brown as a laborer’s, far from the lily white of the noble son knelt beside him. He unfurls to a startling height with the same lassitude as the castle’s cats, as if he was only ever on his knees because it pleased him to do so. There’s a cant to his mouth that only supports the implication, but when she raises her eyes to meet his eyes—
She flinches. There’s a scar there— a gouge, badly healed, that stretches from cheek to cheek.
“Sir Zakura Shidnote, my lords— and lady.” He nods at her, mouth tilting toward a smirk. “Lately of the Royal Knight’s Circle. And this is Sir Michel” — his hand cuts toward the noble son getting to his feet, a boy just about Makiri’s age, though he carries it better— “one of the more promising squires from our last bout of new blood.”
“I’m a knight, really,” the young man insists, pushing back the hair that’s flopped over his eyes. “Though I am, ah…new, my lord.”
“Just earned your accolades, is it?” Father may not be a man of smiles, but his eyes crinkle at the corners, warm. “My son—”
“Earned them two year ago,” Makiri interjects acidly, brows bent in his most surly scowl. As if that would help him look any older than his scant years.
Practically a veteran, she almost says, but there is not enough wide-eyed sincerity in her to cover the bite. As much as she might like to tease, she hardly needs to be reminded: they are not among friends.
“Just so.” Father squints the way he does at their accounts, tallying up the men before him. “Did you not have another man in your party?”
“Ah, yes, Sir Mitsuhide.” The prince's mouth pulls thin before he recollects himself, grimace turning to boyish grin. “My apologies, I had hoped for all of us to be here to greet you, but time was short, and there was an issue with our…baggage. We left him to sort it out with your staff.”
Father’s mouth turns stern. “Then should it not be I who apologies to you, Your Highness? If there was some issue, then surely—”
“Ah, no no! This was, er…our fault,” His Highness insists, oddly guilty. “I’m afraid my mother insisted on one last gift, even after all the carriages had been packed tight! It changed…quite a lot of our travel plans.”
“I see,” Father murmurs, though it’s quite clear he does not. He is not a man of last-minute anythings, let alone travel plans.
“But he will be here for the formal reception, of course!” The prince smiles, bright. “He wouldn’t miss it— he’s a northerner, trained at your very own Sereg.”
“Sereg.” Now her brother straightens in his seat, an excited sheen in his eyes. “So he’s skilled, then?”
“Some,” Sir Zakura drawls, a corner of his mouth creeping up his cheek. “Enough that the king requested him by name.”
“By name…?” Now it is her father who leans in, brow furrowed. “You cannot mean— Mitsuhide Lowen?”
The prince nods, pleased. “The very same.”
“I’ll be damned.” Father settles back in his seat. “I nearly asked him here, before His Majesty snapped him up. He was one of Sereg’s finest swords. ”
Sir Zakura smirks. “And now he is one of Wistal’s.”
“Lowen?” Haki keeps her voice low, pitched for only her and her shadow to hear. It's a curious coincidence, considering how closely her knight has always played his card to the chest. “Is there any relation to…?”
Her chin tilts, hoping to catch his eye-- or at least the angle of his mouth, but--
But when she slants her eyes to his usual place at her shoulder, there is nothing behind her but empty air.

Suzu: the burned out student who comes home once in a lunar year
Kirito: that one kid who always shouts under your windows at the apartment complex so you come out and play instead of actually ringing the bell

Mihaya: a thief everyone knows steals but he thinks he's being so slick also the late night store employee who beefs with the kebab guy next doors
Kihal: the bird girl everyone knows where she lives only cause there are bird noises coming from her house day and night
Torou: the most fun girl that goes to every disco/house party/drinking event (which is all of them) without missing any. You won't see her anywhere else around the village tho (besides maybe the late night store or the kebab shop)
Garrak: the auntie that makes you feel SO welcomed in the pub
Umihebi: convicted murderer
Mukaze: the local kids football club coach, village drunk and the chillest bus driver all in one

Today begins the yearly Kiss Art February challenge, but my first entry is not at all finished so I figured… y’know what. Instead of breaking myself to finish the pieces on time, if I haven’t, I’ll just post the sketch as a stand-in. I’m a genius /s

One Way To Pass The Time

Here is my first fic for the Rare Pair Scramble! A fluffy and long-ish HakIzana oneshot! It's a bit different than any of the HakIzana fics I've written prior to it and also different thematically than I feel like I've written before, but I hope you enjoy it anyway! :)

Hello hi ✨ for the AnS ask game: 8, 12, 18, 24 and 34! ^^
Original post: here Thank you for the ask! Here we go! <3
#8: Character that is most like you I can't say anyone is like me exactly but I would like to say I want the determination that Shirayuki has and her patience and kindness. She stands up for what is right no matter who it is and shows forgiveness. She is a wonderful main character and I hope everyone sees her as admirable. #12: Favorite arc It goes without saying with most people 😂 But it's the Bergatt Arc! The twins were very interesting characters who wanted just to live an honorable, honest life yet they were forced into a life of darkness and evil. They found the way out just not in the way they expected, from a prince, of all people! It's really awesome. #18: Your favorite rare pair Shirayuki and Hisame! *feels the ZenYuki people start me down* WHOA WHOA! Before we jump me, I don't mean in a romantic sense. I would love to see them as a duo and interact more. I just keep thinking of that time when they danced at Eisetsu's soiree. 😊 #24: A random headcanon that you have I would like to think that Zen and Shirayuki's married life is amazing! They are like business partners who long for each other in a healthy way, it's GREAT! Some people may think it's impossible, but they break those expectations! #34: If you could ask Sorata-sensei anything, what would you ask? I would ask, where do you get inspiration for the fashion, details, and food? I know she once said Moroccan, but I would also love to see how she will plan Izana and Haki's wedding!
