Xaden x Sorrengail!oc

WC: 816

Warnings: None just Fluff

A/N: Well I decided to take part in a small writing Challenge. I had fun writing this little blurb and while it has the potential to turn into its own series; I am going to show self restraint by not doing that. The prompt was "I can never say 'no to you" From Jana over at @creativepromptsforwriting

Also fair warning; I didn't send this to any of my betas. So we die like men at this point

Thank you to @skyfallscotland and @justallihere for putting together the Fourth Wing Birthday Bash

Last but not least tumbr is being dumb and won’t let me post from my laptop so apologies about the formatting

“We should get married” I comment wrapping my arms around my beloved’s shoulders, fingers gently tracing along the scars at the top of his shoulders. I look up into his gold flecked onyx eyes and smile widely at him. Was the flight field after lessons the best place to have this conversation, probably not, but I couldn’t help myself. It had been an interesting lesson with a storm about to roll in; the thunder off in the distance rolling. But now with the rest of the third years and Professor Kaori heading back to the citadel, I figured given Xaden a small heart attack would be fun.

Where I would expect to see shock and hesitance on his face I only see a fond smile as he wraps his arms around my waist to pull me into his chest.

��When do you want to get married and how do you want to tell your mother and sisters?” I hadn’t thought of that.

It would be pretty easy to tell Violet. If I could get her away from her squad it would be as simple as that. Mira I could just write a letter too. Shed be pissed at first; she had specifically told me to stay away from Xaden. That didn’t work out since we ended up in the same squad with mated dragons; but Mira could get over it. She’d be happy for me eventually.

My mother; however, I completely forgot about. General Sorrengail hadn’t been a fan of the relationship and she had made it known to me once the word had made it to her office. That had been the only time I had formally gotten called to her office to make her displeasure known; but its been three years. Xaden and I work well together and we have been in love with each other for awhile now. Not to mention we are kinda stuck with each other until one of us dies so at one point or another she’s just going to have to learn to live with it.

I feel Tairn’s amusement in the back of my mind. The old curmudgeon had been riding my ass this last week about acting like a love sick puppy around Xaden. Like his grumpy ass isn’t the exact same way around Sgaeyl.

‘I heard that’ the rumbling voice flows through my head.

‘You were supposed to.’ I felt Tairn’s snout push at my back sending me further into Xaden’ s grasp ‘Tairn!!!’ I can hear Sgaeyl chuckle in my head.

‘I think I shall go get some sheep’ I’m not sure if it is the mighty beat of our dragons wings or thunder, but as the two dragons fly off the heavens open up above us and cold rain begins to pour down. Xaden lets out a hearty laugh squeezing me tightly.

“When do you want to get married love.” He leans down to whisper in my ear repeating his earlier question.

“Want to grab Garrick, Bodhi, Liam and Vi and sneak down to Chantara.” I would do it; grab our family and secretly get married today if he agreed.

“How about we wait until graduation. We can get our family together, before we fly to our post, and have a small ceremony.” He pushes a soaked strand of hair away from my face. “Then it gives you time to let Mira know, so she can try and get leave” leave it to this perfect man to remember that I wanted Mira there when I got married. While Brennen had Mom and Violet had Dad it had been Mira and I against the world. I still had all of the letters we had wrote to each other while she was in the quadrant and then when I started second year. She had to be there on our special day; she would kill me if I ran off today and got married.

“Ok Graduation it is then.” He looks even more breathtaking in the rain as water droplets roll down his skin.

“Alright then lets go Mrs.Riorson.” He lets go of me and moves towards the hidden tunnel entrance.

“Wait.” I call grabbing his hand to stop him. “Kiss me?” Is it cheesy and straight out of the romance books that I brought into the quadrant, yes. But I had always wanted to be kissed in the rain.

“Have I ever been able to say ‘no’ to you.” He gently cradles my face in his hands tilting my face upwards; his lips crash into mine is a passionate kiss. It starts out innocent enough but my hands quickly find their way to his hair and one of his finds its way to my ass. When we break apart we are gasping for breath; Xaden rest his forehead against mine and hazel eyes meet onyx “Marry me?”

“Yes.” I laugh and pull him into another kiss.

Kenjaku x Jin Itadori ⁠♡

So, hi! Uuhh, first time posting actual writing here, quick reminder English is *not* my first language so sorry if something just doesn't make much sense, anyways, I think about them a lot, it's very short cause my brain doesn't have that much creativity to write big things but i love them so much I had to at least write something. Enjoy 🥺

-----

Kenjaku told himself it was all for the plan, he believed so for most of the time but there was a point where it became all too much to ignore, the increasing feelings of genuine care and love for Jin were becoming utterly overwhelming, something he at first brushed off as Kaori's personality rubbing on him but as time passed by pretending wasn't a need anymore, it came so naturally it was terrifying, it made him feel human again.

During his pregnancy he was spoiled and treated like a God, each day with that man was like heaven on earth, kind, caring, compassionate and completely obsessed with him - Or rather, with Kaori, though the lines got blurred at times, he passed so much time as her it was if she became a part of who he is, core and soul fused into something different, he isn't the same Kenjaku he was since he became Kaori. 

But that was the past, he now inhabits the body of someone else - Suguru Geto, someone who has his own desires, his own special someone and needs, but for some reason these don't seem to affect him as much as Kaori did, as if that spot of love has already been claimed by someone else to Kenjaku, a spot no one can take. The memories and things he felt while with Jin persist in his mind, each time Kenjaku closes his eyes he's haunted by that sweet absolute pure smile of that damned man, while in bed his body squirms under the blankets, yearning for that loving touch, that tender caress, longing for it so bad it makes him doubt everything he ever did, every cell on his body screaming to go back to that soothing moment of true peace, true happiness. 

He opens his eyes tiredly as sleep fails him once again that week, his gaze locking on the dark ceiling of the lonely room illuminated by the light of the moon coming through an open window, accompanied by the cold nightly breeze. Silence and coldness, it was all he had left.

A glimpse of a memory tingles the back of his cerebrum, the only part of him that is true, and as that scene rushes back like a movie playing in front of his eyes he realizes something. 

He wasn't able to kill Jin, he never could do such a thing, he loved him so much he couldn't take away the other man's life - he suppressed that memory to the deepest of his physique, all for Jin's sake, for his safety he forced himself to forget he spared his beloved, so they wouldn't meet again. Blurry images of a house forcefully plagued his mind, darkness and the reflection of glasses.

Not anymore. This wasn't a matter of concern now, it was pure selfish desire for that love again, to possesses that man again, after all, Kenjaku is an egotistical self-centered person, it is all about him, about what he wants, and he not only wants that back, he needed it. His desperation is so crushing that the idea of not having Jin at his side right now makes him completely miserable, a mess of what he used to be. 

Without a moment's hesitation he stood to his feet, leaving his place of stay to go in search of that man through the night out in a white shirt and baggy pants, no time to change into proper clothing.

Kenjaku didn't remember perfectly where he left Jin, the memory of that day was cloudy - with a frustrated sigh he stopped, taking a moment to breath in the cold air and put his thoughts in place, he searched thoroughly in his own brain, each step, each word they shared, each location he went to in the modern world until it finally came back to him, relief would be a understatement. 

Upon arriving at the house he found it to be rather well cared for, he didn't exactly expect for the other man to have stayed there after all those years but there it was, in better condition than he had left it. He noted the lights on by looking at the windows, glad his early meltdown wasn’t fruitless.

With a trembling hand Kenjaku reached for the handle, his fingers curling around it as he pushed and opened the unlocked door. His vision was immediately blinded by a well-known figure, being met with the sight of Jin who was reaching for the handle from the inside. 

They both stopped in place, looking into each other's eyes for painful long minutes of complete silence, Kenjaku's gaze drifted down Jin's body, taking in his older figure - it has been 16 years but somehow that man looks just as gorgeous as he remembers, aging like fine wine. Jin opened his mouth but no sound came out, Kenjaku did a similar gesture with his own lips but equally mute.

That was until a chuckle broke away from Jin, that ravishing smile tugging at the side of his lips as his eyes filled with tears. “You're surely taller, Kaori.” He said with a hint of tease, finally taking the breath he was holding back until now. “Hello again, my love. If…I can still call you that?” He questioned cordially.

“...Yes, please.” Kenjaku nodded as he finally found his words, tilting his head to the side as he slowly came back to his usual playful self. “We have a lot to discuss, my love.”

here are some more miscellaneous post-ts headcanons but this time we're not going pro teams we're taking a walk on the side of your average working adult let's go!!

okay let's be real do we REALLY think lev is in charge of his own social media accounts bc i feel like that's a dumpster fire waiting to happen

i'm going to say yes because it's funny as hell

he tweets things like "lol i worked with [insert older veteran actor here] today i had no idea he was such an asshole" and gets frantic phone calls from the pr team like three seconds after posting

his instagram is also full of like. really blurry casual pics and just doesn't look professionally curated at all but the fans love him for it

i'm actually super curious as to whether he gets typecasted a lot and if so i'd love to know what it is

i want to say goofy comic relief side character?? so when he gets selected for a serious drama role nobody is expecting him to blow it out of the water but he does!!!!!!

also another thing lev does that gives his pr team a heart attack is when he posts anything vaguely related to his love life. which funnily enough are the only quality non-shitposts he does himself

like you've got the aesthetic silhouettes against a wall, the hands intertwined on a candlelit table, the vague tweets of "so lucky to wake up next to you. wish it would never end <3" and everyone's going WILD trying to figure out who it is

(and, well, nobody is going to notice shibayama yuuki liking the posts amidst all the other pro volleyball players who do, right?)

shirabu's got a rep in med school for having the worst fucking bedside manner of all time

well not really i think he's like. the kind where fellow/older colleagues and such judge him for it and they think that he could stand to be a LITTLE bit nicer but if he works with kids or whatever i bet the kids would actually really like him.

he's dry and straightforward and calm and takes them seriously and treats them like adults. the only thing he does to baby them is dumb down the medical jargon into an explanation they can actually understand

ugh shirabu actually makes me really soft for what an asshole he is

oh but if you're a bitch ass bastard for no reason he'll try to be as snarky as he can be without like. getting reported to hr or whatever

sorry i know this probably isn't how medical professionalism works irl once again i just think it'd be really funny

also can i just say that i think it's the funniest fucking thing that komi became an actor. like where the hell did THAT come from

i feel like he got thrust into doing a role for a class play during cultural festival season and got hooked on it probably? because literally when else would he have the time to get into/practice that kind of shit

that's probably a fun fact he drops during a magazine interview or something LMAAAAO

"yeah volleyball practice took up most of my time, and i never really thought about doing anything else. but then things changed in my third year of high school when i got cast for cinderella . . ."

speaking of fukurodani. yukie and kaori my beloveds

i skipped out on them during my managers post which i regret deeply and dearly so here they are!!

full disclaimer i don't know how sports promoters actually work i'm assuming they promote whatever sports games they are assigned instead of just sticking to one sport only? which means that whenever kaorie gets her hands on something that isn't volleyball she gets a dozen texts from bokuto moaning about betrayal and treason and all that

when kaori gets with someone she meets through work (so someone on a pro sports team) the rest of fukurodani are like "okay but he's a BASEBALL PLAYER" as if being a baseball player is the most atrocious thing a person could be

kaori's like "guys come ON i told him all of you were cool!" and everyone's like "now why in the world would you tell him that"

yukie has a decently popular cooking channel that is loved not for her yummy recipes or her aesthetic filming but because none of her kitchenware matches

she just collects whatever she likes + a bunch of shit that's been gifted to her and while it should make her kitchen look cluttered it's all just very cozy and lived-in

like. all her pots and pans are different colors and themes. no pair of chopsticks are the same. she has a ladle shaped like a dinosaur and a teapot glazed with magnolias on the side

her recipes DO slap tho she and osamu collab a lot

UGH i love them living nice fulfilling adult lives i wish that were me

Hi have you done JJK for the fandom ask? If you have, can you do MHA? I don't go there but I'm still interested in what you have to say!

I have not done JJK, so I'll do JJK!!

The first character I first fell in love with: Yuji is my pink haired sunshine. Just as I said about Reki, I wanted to adopt him.

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Hm... I feel like quite a few characters could go here. If I had to pick, like an unexpected answer, I'd say Yaga. He's actually a pretty cool character in my opinion and I still would like to fight the Higher-Ups!!

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: While I do like him as a villain and what he served to the story... I wouldn't say I'm the biggest Toji fan. Another character that comes to mind is Ryu. I haven't really seen anyone actually hype him up like that, but I actually don't care for him at all. His comment about Takako and Yuta "flirting" was like strike one for me. I think of him and then remember he has no chance to returning to the story and I smile. Thanks, Sukuna.

The character I love that everyone else hates: Speaking of! Okay, Sukuna is also a well liked character. I do, in fact, enjoy him as a character. I do. But I wouldn't say he doesn't deserve the hate he gets.

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: I'll be honest, Kusakabe had lost some points with me. I still like him, but I guess because Yuji is my favorite character, he has lost points with me.

The character I would totally smooch: Yuki, my beloved. And you know what, Yaga deserves some smooches, too. Kaori also. I feel like she was an amazing woman and would have been an amazing mother.

The character I’d want to be like: Takako's look to her technique is top tier for me. She has no business being that cool, that gorgeous, that badass. I'm just saying, her anger is justified!! And I know it's not what the question is asking, but it's funny that the characters I would say I am most like is Choso and Miwa. Eldest siblings who just want to do their best for their younger siblings.

The character I’d slap: Amazingly enough, this could go to several characters but for various reasons. And most of those would go to the Zenin clan. The only ones I wouldn't slap from the Zenin clan is Megumi, Mai and Maki. Also, the twins' mother, I feel like she suffered enough before married into that family.

A pairing that I love: ItaFushi will have my heart. But I will also say, since they're on my mind, that I think MomoMai deserves a little more love. I cry when I think of that ship because THEY COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING SPECIAL!! Like, if we're talking tragic ships, let's also bring up them!

A pairing that I despise: It would be easy to say certain ships, they're just not my thing. I will also say Gojo with Utahime. I'm sorry, but that woman despises that man for justified reasons. I don't like the whole "she's confused about her feelings" thing. She was also annoyed with Geto and I don't see people shipping them. It's not even a ship I despise just annoyed with because I can go into the SatoSugu tag and it will be there (blocked so many accounts) and sometimes I feel like some people don't really care for Utahime unless to prove "Gojo is straight".

Part One

She’d known from the first moment she saw him that this was the one.

Her dragon.

The way he’d towered over her like a mountain and incinerated Tynan like the ant he was. He was powerful and vicious and hers.

She’d never seen him before that moment. Barely known of his existence outside that one lecture in Professor Kaori’s class. And yet bonding with him had felt like a piece of her soul, one she hadn’t realized was missing, suddenly slotting into place. A strange sort of kinship she’d never experienced with anyone else. Not even her beloved dead father.

My name is Taireanach, he had told her. And the name has seared itself into her heart like the mark he later branded onto her back.

“I’m Violet,” she had said.

I know.

And that had been that.

⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯

Tairn, she later learns, was a bit of an overprotective old man.

“I’ll never learn if you keep using magic to hold me here,” she’d said one afternoon, during flight maneuvers after he had locked her into her seat.

You can’t learn if you’re dead. He had groused back, his voice ringing through her head and into her bones.

A part of her still marveled over that. Of having someone else inside her head…all the time.

All the time.

It certainly took some getting used to. In some ways it felt a little like talking to herself…if she was a forever grumpy, yet doting, giant lizard.

I am not a lizard.

“But you are doting?” Violet said wryly.

Tairn’s only reply was a feeling of exasperation.

⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯

It’s Tairn who saves her from her would-be assassins.

His voice that rings through her dreams and wakes her just in time to avoid the sword meant for her neck. His quick thinking and sharp senses that help her prevail against her attackers and gain the upper hand.

And, later, it will be he who burns her last assassin without hesitation or mercy.

I will not lose another. He tells her afterwards.

She doesn’t have to ask who he means.

⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯

“Stop fussing.”

I am not fussing. Tairn growled. I am irritated that my human will not listen to reason.

“Your human is fine.”

You are not fine.

They’d been having this argument all day. Ever since Violet had awoken in agony Tairn had made his displeasure with her stubborn refusal to rest all too clear. He’d spent the better part of the day mentally harassing her over her life decisions as she went from class to class.

“Can we please not do this?” Violet sighed. Gods, she was tired. She’d barely slept what with the pain waking her up far too early. The sun hadn’t even been up yet. “I’m exhausted enough as it is.”

Which is why you should be resting.

Arguing with Tairn was often akin to punching a brick wall. Pointless, and left one questioning why they’d even bothered in the first place.

Your ridiculous human classes can wait. Go to sleep. Now. His voice rolled through her head with the sort of authority that demanded complete obedience. Violet shivered.

“…Fine. But not because you said so.” She groused, not wanting to admit defeat.

Whatever you say Silver One.

She went to bed.

⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯

Violet learns many things about her dragon.

Some of them surprising.

Like just how much he loves when she strokes his scales and scratches under his great chin like an indolent cat.

Or how in the winter he will hover over her like a mother hen, pressing close to warm her with the heat of his body.

Or the way he fusses over her constantly. He is so very protective, her dragon. Always concerned with her safety. Her well-being.

He cares.

He cares so much.

Sometimes, in her guiltiest moments, she thinks he even cares for her more than her own family.

And in her even guiltier moments, she thinks perhaps she feels the same.

⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯

The realization didn’t happen all at once.

Violet wasn’t an idiot. The signs had always been there. In hindsight, she had probably always known she had felt this way but had refused to linger on it lest she give it form. A name.

Like infatuation.

Or love.

Whatever it was, it was wildly inappropriate. Unnatural. Wrong. Whenever these thoughts or feelings surfaced she’d hastily stuff them back down out of shame and embarrassment.

Why did she feel this way? Was there something wrong with her?

Probably, she thought to herself once, thinking about the way Tairn would loom protectively over her on the flight field, snapping at anyone who dared venture too close. The way he, this giant, powerful creature that could crush her like an ant, would lower his head to let her (and only her) stroke the scales on his nose. The way his rumbling, assertive voice would ring through her head and make her heart beat faster. He, at once, made her feel powerful and protected. Cherished and supported.

No one else had ever made her feel that way. Not even her family. Not even her father.

Of course all of these thoughts were only ones she let herself linger on when she was sure the subject in question had already gone to sleep. Better he didn’t know the depths of the depravity she indulged in during the darkest parts of the night. He didn’t need to know his rider was a degenerate who was more attracted to the sound of his voice in her head than any man she’d ever fucked.

The mere thought he might find out made her break out into a cold sweat. What would happen if he found out? It’s not like they could break the bond and he could find a new, less fucked up rider. Violet supposed he could just kill her out of disgust. Had dragons ever done that to their riders?

Well, there was a first time for everything.

Needless to say, she’d gotten very good at her mental shielding.

He could never know.

Never.

⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯

Things finally came to a head when her signet manifested.

Violet tried to think straight, she really did, but she was just so…worked up. Her power skittered under her skin like the very lightning she could now call upon. It made her restless, jittery…

Reckless.

And when she’d gone down to the local tavern to celebrate with her friends, well, who was she to turn down the advances of some random infantryman? It had been so very long since she’d gotten to blow off some steam. Certainly long before she’d ever bonded with Tairn. Before she’d crossed the parapet even.

She wished she could’ve said she remembered the boy’s name but…well.

He might as well have been a glorified living doll for the way that she used him. A doll whose dick she made use of to rid herself of that creeping restlessness crawling under her skin. Poor whatever his name was. Perhaps she should’ve felt guilty for so blatantly taking advantage of him, but he seemed so happy about his predicament that she didn’t let herself feel too bad.

Besides, wasn’t it basically expected of her to sleep her way through the ranks? She was only doing what everyone else expected of her. Expected of all of them.

Now If only she could focus on the human being underneath her and not…others things.

Like how riding this infantryman was so very similar to riding something else…like the heat of Tairn’s body beneath hers. Or the smoothness of his scales against her palms. Or the shocking sensation of a dive mid-flight.

And with thoughts of riding Tairn came more, like his (rightly earned) arrogance. His ever looming presence in her mind, always there to aid or comfort her. His deep, rumbling voice that always felt like it vibrated through her bones.

Violet couldn’t help the way her breath quickened as her thoughts took a decidedly…intimate turn. Pleasure skittered up her spine as the boy underneath her was almost entirely forgotten.

When she came, it was with with her dragon’s name echoing in her mind.

Tairn!

Before she had time to realize her mistake, the all too familiar specter of her dragon’s mind slipped right past her wards and nudged curiously at her own.

Silver One?

She knew he had seen too much even before she managed to slam her shields closed. She felt his surprise. His confusion.

Suddenly her orgasm made her feel dirty. As if she had done something wrong. Something shameful. And why shouldn’t she feel that way? She’d orgasmed while thinking of her dragon! And in a decidedly un-platonic sort of way.

Gods, what was wrong with her?

She didn’t even have the wherewithal to bid the infantryman goodbye before she was pulling on her clothes and storming out of the room he had rented for the night.

Gods…what was she supposed to do now?

⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯

She didn’t speak to him for days.

Silver One…

Her shields meant nothing to him. Every time she tried to put them up, he’d slip past them as if there were made of smoke. So she’d just resorted to ignoring him.

Which, unsurprisingly, was a very hard thing to do when a giant lizard lived inside one’s head.

You can’t avoid me forever. Flight Maneuvers are today.

Shit. Fuck. He was right.

Only a couple hours later, she found herself walking out onto the flight field as if she were trudging to her own execution. Tairn loomed large over every other dragon on the field, those golden eyes riveted to her.

She braced herself for what he would say…but nothing came.

Violet stared up at him warily.

Waiting.

He only lowered himself further to the ground so she could climb up and into place. As if this were just another flight lesson. As if nothing unusual had occurred just a few days before.

He was quiet for the rest of Flight Maneuvers.

She would’ve thought, after all the constant nagging and mental harassment that he’d be the same here (worse even). But instead there was an ominous silence from her dragon as they flew through the sky. They touched. They moved as one. But they said nothing.

It probably should’ve clued her in to what would happen next.

As soon as they landed Violet was ready to dismount and put as much distance between she and her dragon as humanly possible. However, just as her boots hit solid ground, he spoke.

Enough of this.

The finality of the words was all the warning she got before a very large scaled leg blocked her escape. A couple other riders cast nervous, confused glances their way, but otherwise kept walking back towards the school as their dragons took off into the sky…leaving her alone with her own dragon for the first time in days.

Fuck.

He’d planned this.

You left me no other choice. Tairn agreed unrepentantly.

“I’m going to be late for dinner,” she said loudly, as if there were anyone else here to hear her but the obnoxiously large dragon holding her captive.

You can eat once we’ve spoken.

Panic crawled up her spine and into her throat, choking her.

Fuck.

Fuck.

This was it. He was going to eat her. Maybe even tell her what a freak she was first. Somehow she was more terrified of the latter.

Stop that, Tairn growled. I am not going to eat you. In fact, I am insulted that you would think so little of me. I only eat those who deserve it.

And I don’t?

No. His reply was swift and vicious. Angry. Listen to me Silver One. I chose you for your bravery. Because you had the heart of a dragon…but you are not being brave now. You are being a coward.

“I’m not a coward!” Violet snapped aloud. It wasn’t like anyone else was here to witness her humiliation anyway.

What else do you call avoiding speaking to me out of fear? Out of shame? Dragons do not feel shame.

“But I’m not a dragon!”

Aren’t you? You behaved more like a dragon than those pathetic humans who attacked Andarna.

“That was different-”

It was not. I have seen much of humanity in my time and few have ever risked themselves to save a creature who looks nothing like them. You are a rarity even amongst your fellow riders. So why then should you care what your fellow man thinks? You are above them.

I’m not though, she thought. How could she be above her fellow man when there was something so clearly aberrant about her?

Tairn huffed in frustration.

Tell me, Silver One, do you think just any dragon bonds with a human?

“What does that have to do with this?”

Everything. The bond between dragon and rider is closer than any other. Closer than kin. Closer than mates. We live your lives. We hear your thoughts. We mourn your loss like the death of our own hatchling. It is the sweetest of loves. And the most painful of tragedies. Not just any dragon is willing to live such a life. Just as not just any human is willing to live it alongside them. It takes a very particular kind of dragon and a very particular kind of human to consent to that sort of partnership.

“So, what, we’re all freaks then?” Violet scowled. She was behaving like a cornered animal. In many ways, she was a cornered animal. She would rather cross the parapet again a hundred times than have this conversation.

Freaks who love too deeply perhaps, Tairn agreed, refusing to take the bait. Those who wish to share themselves in whole with another. Share their hopes. Their fears. Even their desires.

That last word made Violet’s stomach squirm and gooseflesh break out over her arms. Oh gods. He really was going to go there.

I see you Violet Sorrengail. I see every piece of you. Even the parts you don’t wish for me to see. And I accept them. I love them. So do not insult me by being ashamed of them.

“But it’s wrong,” she whispered.

And who decided that? You?

“No, but-”

I thought we agreed that you are above other humans. Their opinions are of no concern to me. To us.

“Why are you so fucking calm about this?!” She finally snapped.

Why wouldn’t I be? Dragons care little for human morals. We do as we like. You would do well to follow our example.

It was clear she wasn’t going to win this argument. Tairn was as stubborn as he was patient. And for some bizarre reason he seemed completely unconcerned over the fact that she’d fucked a man while thinking about him. Sexually. If anything, he seemed more upset over the fact that she’d been avoiding him. If he were human he would be the one avoiding her.

But I am not human. Tairn said patiently. I never will be. And I refuse to turn away from you when you show me your true self.

Violet went silent.

What could she say to that? ‘You’re wrong’? ‘You’re being a lot more understanding about this than even my own family would’?

The sun was beginning to set. She hadn’t lied before. Dinner really would be served soon. She should’ve gone back inside ages ago, but here she was stuck outside, arguing with her behemoth of a dragon about the morality of her being…attracted to him? In love with him?

“I just don’t…I don’t understand why you’re okay with this.”

You don’t need to. You just need to know that I am.

He said it like it was so simple. And, perhaps, for him it was.

She sighed. “Okay.” She was so tired.

Go rest. He nudged her towards the school as if he hadn’t been holding her hostage for the past hour. We will speak more later.

“Okay,” she said again, and left.

He didn’t take back to the sky until she was safely ensconced back within the college walls.

⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯

He didn’t push.

She didn’t bring it up either.

They fell so easily back into the routine of life at Basgiath that one could almost believe that their conversation from before had just…never happened.

But it had though.

And Violet couldn’t stop thinking about it.

How could she not? It wasn’t every day that a rider had weird fantasies abut their dragon and then discovered that said dragon was…fine with it? Possibly even reciprocated???

She could hardly keep her head on straight in her lessons.

“Are you alright?” Rhiannon whispered to her in Battle Brief. It had only been two days since her confrontation with Tairn but even her best friend could tell that something was…off.

“Oh, you know,” Violet said cagily. “A lot on my mind…”

Tairn snorted.

Quiet you, she hissed.

Rhiannon dropped the subject, but Violet knew for a fact that this wasn’t the end of it. Just a reprieve until she could properly corner her somewhere private.

Great.

It is no business of hers, Tairn rumbled dismissively.

Sure, but that’s not how friendship works.

This is the problem with you humans. He countered. You’re too nosey.

And you aren’t? Violet said, amused.

You are mine. She is not.

She shivered.

“Right…” she murmured under her breath.

“What was that?” Rhiannon asked, brows pinched together.

“Nothing.”

They turned back to class.

⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯

Something occurred to her later.

This has happened before.

Yes. Tairn confirmed, as if that weren’t world-shattering information to just casually drop in her lap.

Her mind spun. When…how?!

You seem to be laboring under the impression that you are unique. He said, almost amused. I assure you, you are not.

But…how have I never heard of this?!

Because it is no one’s business but that of a dragon and their rider. He dismissed. And, considering how you reacted before, is it any wonder you humans wouldn’t speak of such things to one another?

He had a point.

But…it has happened?

Yes.

And…is that…would you…she couldn’t bring herself to finish that sentence.

Yes.

Violet felt like all the air had been sucked out of her lungs. Like her nerve endings had been set aflame.

“…Oh,” she said. And then, again, “Oh.”

Tairn just laughed at her.

⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯◆⎯◇⎯

No matter what she did, she couldn’t get it out of her head.

Fucking.

And Tairn.

Obviously he couldn’t fuck her. The idea was beyond laughable. She barely came up to his ankle. For all she knew his dick was the same size as her.

Tairn, because of course he was always listening, seemed to find her thoughts amusing.

Two.

“What?”

I have two.

The answer was so unexpected that she nearly crashed into her bedroom door on the way out of her room.

The rest of her day she could barely concentrate on anything, his words ringing through her head on an endless loop.

“But we can’t actually…do anything…” she finally whispered to him late into the night.

Not in the usual ways, no. Tairn agreed almost immediately. Violet tried not to feel a twinge of disappointment at that. But that does not mean we cannot enjoy each other’s company.

Her face flamed bright red. She knew exactly what he meant, recalling her disastrous tryst with that faceless infantryman. How she had thought, not of him, but of Tairn as she came.

I will hide nothing from you, he said gently. Just so long as you hide nothing from me.

“It…it wouldn’t be weird?” Her voice was so quiet. Terrified someone else would hear her.

We have had this conversation already. I will not repeat myself.

“Okay…okay.”

She didn’t do anything that night. Nor the night after that. Nor even that week. But, as always, Tairn made the decision for her.

She had just lain down for the night after a particularly exhausting day, when she felt it.

Arousal.

And not her own. Instead she felt a pulsing heat across the bond followed by flashes of blue scales and the foreign feeling of sinking into something tight and hot.

Violet stopped breathing.

Tairn was…he was…oh.

Watch. He said. Feel.

And gods help her, she did.

She saw through his eyes, the fierce female who writhed underneath him. She felt the hot, slick slide of her body as he made a home inside of her. She smelled the taste of sulfur and pheromones on the air.

Her breathing sped up. She was hot. Feverish. His pleasure was her own. Heating her skin and making her shiver. Her fingers were already dipping down into her underthings before she could stop herself.

At the first brush of her fingers against her clit, she heard Tairn snarl in her head.

Yes!

He wasn’t touching her…but he might as well have been.

Her fingers circled the slippery flesh at the cleft of her as she watched her dragon fuck his companion with a ferocity and domination that left her warm and wanting.

They came together. His roar ringing through her head as his pleasure raced through her veins like fire. Satisfaction, fierce and amoral, rushed to her brain.

Good. She heard him say, his voice almost a purr. Very good.

She slept like the dead.

Montreal Worlds 2024 Day 2&3

HOLY WOW! What a couple days that was. This is going to be a wild ramble and bullet point list of things that I can remember and stick out in the onslaught of skating that I've seen in the past 48 hours. It's also 11:30pm, so bear with me.

MEN'S SHORT

Roman clean program? In front of me and God and all of Montreal? Utterly wild, so exciting in the building.

Aleksandr Selevko is such a force, I enjoyed his skate SO much, what a magnetic skater.

JASON BROWN. What a serve, he is so beloved, you could just tell the whole crowd was so behind him and love him so much, it was such a stunning piece of skating.

The announcer's saying Lukas Britschgi instead of Deniss was so hilarious, and he had a lovely skate to boot.

Speaking of Lukas, LOVED him, he's so fun.

YUMAAAAAAAA. That is all.

Shoma Uno made me cry and he needs to pay for emotional damages, he had such a good warm up I was buzzing and kept excitedly hitting my friend's knee whenever he landed another clean jump. QUAD TOE TRIPLE TOE!

Ilia was there.

PAIRS FREE PROGRAM

DEANNA STELLATO THE WOMAN THAT YOU ARE. The fact that she normally has such an intense reaction post good skate, but instead this time she just leaned forward, half crying, going 'oh my god' made me cry too. The roof blew off the fucking place. It was a singular moment in my life. I am just so unbelievably happy for her and all that she has achieved. Max was so good, so steady, so fucking wonderful. I am in awe of this team.

Glad M/K went back to that free program, a shame about her doubling, and wow did she ever take it hard. It's definitely their best program, for the love of God Bruno Marcotte STOP LETTING YOUR FUCKING SISTER CHOREOGRAPH EVERY SINGLE PROGRAM. DON'T ME COME TO OAKVILLE! I'LL DO IT!

So so happy for Hase and Volodin, they had such a lovely skate, a very well deserved medal, they've had such momentum all season.

Moment of silence of Conti and Macii, that was rough.

Pairs in person made me age about 15 years, so if I have grey hair in the coming months, I know who to blame. Holy shit, it's exhilarating but also tense as hell. I loved it!

RHYTHM DANCE

Hannah Lim, you're a fucking star.

Mrazkes are deeply underwhelming, like wow, they skate very small.

Lopareva and Brissaud also skate very very small. I kept looking up at the time thinking the program would be over and it wasn't. Not a fan at all.

Cpom CRUSHED IT and it was so awesome to see.

LAJOIE AND LAGHA MY LOVES! Easily the performance of the night, and not even close. So glad they got here after battling injury, so proud of them.

Gilles and Poirier are slooooooooooow. Very slow. Maybe the slowest of the last two groups. It's glaring. How have they not worked on this? They also skate small.

Guignard and Fabbri had a good lift, and a cringe everything else.

I just watched Evan during their performance and wow does he do not a lot. It's the Madi show and he's barely a supporting actor.

Fear and Gibson were there.

WOMEN'S FREE

KAORI KAORI KAORI KAORI.

Besides her heinous jumps, Isabeau created a moment, and it was lovely to experience.

Big ups to Chaeyon Kim for a solid, if boring and slightly cold, free skate. On this night, a well deserved bronze.

Leona, oh Leona. The whole crowd deflated when she fell. Such a shame.

OKAY SO CUTE MOMENT! So Kimmy Repond's dad was sitting ldown and across from me two rows, he was about 4 feet from me. I didn't know he was her dad at the start, but I knew by the end, because he was SO dad about the whole skate. Then when she skated clean, he jumped up, a man below me went and shook his hand and went "Are you her dad?" and he got tears in his eyes, put his hand on his chest, and went 'She is my daughter." I just about sobbed my brains out. So beautiful. He then didn't clap once for the next Swiss skater, which I do not fault him for, major dad behaviour.

Moment of silence for Amber Glenn.

Josefin Taljegard, I love you.

GENERAL THOUGHTS

The people around me and I all started chatting about 30 minutes into the women's free skate, by the end of it, I would go to war for all of them. Camaraderie between skating fans is very fun.

Still a giant fuck you to the woman who asked me if NikS. raped me when I pointed out to my friend he shouldn't be competing, special place in hell for you, you hot garbage person.

I got very cold during the women's free, got a hot chocolate, it wasn't good, but it saved my life, and for that I thank it.

Accidentally got up late (9:36am for a rendez vous at 10am) for breakfast with my brother, still arrived at 10:01am, I am a superhero.

Still fuck the seats in the venue, they need about 4 inches on all sides to be even remotely comfortable, including 4 more inches of leg room. We are humans, not dead sardines, for the love of GOD.

Kaori's speed and power made me gasp a few times.

I can't remember anything else but I know other things happened, ah well, it's almost midnight, I ordered late night pizza take out like a boss, I'm gonna eat that, unwind, and hopefully sleep more than four hours.

GODSPEED!

[decemberelegy]

Skate Canada 2024 Women's SP thoughts:

Kaori Sakamoto, my beloved <3 Strong performance today, in a different league than the rest. Such good flow across the ice, such confidence. I can't help thinking about how I've fallen in love with her skating after PyeongChang 2018 and followed her career through all these years. She's coming in this season as a three time world champion, still going strong. I am so fond of her, my god.

I really like Kimmy Repond. Interesting program, stunning leg position in the air during the jumps (even though the height isn't that impressive), beautiful spins. I'm looking forward to watching her develop her skills.

Alysa Liu is back! I'm so happy! I was so sad when she retired, but I understood her desire to experience life outside of skating. I'm so grateful to see her giving it another go and skating so well, too! There's something special about her.

Besides these three, I found the competition a little disappointing. A lot of errors in so many areas: wonky spins, missed jumps, underrotations, falls... As I said last week, the free skate is the real test, because endurance plays an important part there. I trust Kaori will take the gold, but the there could be anybody completing the podium. Fun times!

HELLO I’M ALIVE AND BACK WITH TRANSLATIONS

Funny thing called life happened after I returned from Japan so had to sort that crap out which is why it has taken so long with the Sera Myu Chronicle pamphlet translations (and also cause the I couldn’t be bothered to translate the first bit, but I did anyway lol) SO LET’S CONTINUE WHERE WE LEFT OFF

(remember that not all translations are 100% accurate)

Greetings from a few staff members (aka my personal hell)

When I came across this production, it was really shocking to see how sensational it was for women to become soldiers, and as they continue to fight in modern times, I feel the persistence of human beliefs and justice in the fact the the world is demanding it.

Last year the baton was given to us after the many trials of Bandai’s musicals and that is all thanks to the efforts of many people.

I feel a great sense of responsibility and gratitude for being involved in this production that has a lot of history. Among them is the choreographer, Satomi Touma, who has been involved in Sera Myu for a long time. Whom achieves both “unchanging history” and “changing entertainment” with her choreography from working with the Sailor Senshi to the enemies. In that way, the “Sera Myu-ness” that cannot be expressed in words has been handed down to us and keeps on living without fading.

Without forgetting the respect for all the people involved in this production, all of us are determined to put our hearts and souls into this radiant show so that we can repay Takeuchi-sensei for all the wonderful encounters. Please enjoy the beloved songs and the brave pretty soldiers who keep on fighting till the end.

Stage manager - Kaori Miura

I am truly grateful to be able to take part in the 30th anniversary celebration of Sailor Moon which is loved throughout the world. When talking about the songs of Sailor Moon, it goes without mention that Moonlight Densetsu has such an impact that it is difficult to describe it. Even for me, who didn’t watch Sailor Moon when growing up, hearing that impressive melody and lyrics, the silhouettes of those pretty yet pretty heroes come to mind. I have been the music composer since the previous musical and finally the vague silhouettes of the heroes have finally become real. Furthermore, combined with the individuality of the cast who basically live their own characters, I’m very proud to see the company grow into a more wonderful company that attracts all Sailor Moon fans. I have great expectations fo the further leap forward, and I myself would like to enjoy this FESTIVAL to the fullest, as it will be a perfect opportunity for me to experience the numerous masterpieces of the older musicals.

Composer - Go Sakabe

Congratulations on the 30th anniversary!

The first time I was introduced to the Sailor Moon musicals was in 2014. It has been 8 years since then.

We have worked hard with many Sailor Soldiers from different generations.

The stage is more brutal than you can imagine. However, in addition to the scale of the production, there is the strength of each actor’s ambition and challenge. And after every time a performance is over, I look at everyone and notice how different everyone has become and how they have grown… They truly are like soldiers. The tears shed shed at the Senshuuraku(final performance) are like the tears of a pure girl but they are also tears full of pride and strength, that is what I think when I see them. Surely, we will all be guided by the production “Sailor Moon” in meetings, in challenges, whether we are friends or enemies, or whether we have to fight against ourselves. That is what this production has thought us. It is something universal and unwavering that pushes us forward. Thank you so much for coming to see 30th Anniversary Musical Festival Chronicle! I am overwhelmed with emotion to be able to share this time with everyone on this special milestone. I would like to continue to protect his eternal brilliance with all of you.

All of us are soldiers.

Looking forward, together.

💫💛Starting Yellow Gen💛💫 (About Sun Nosobirrie)

Meet Sun Nosobirrie. Our Yellow Generation heir.

Here’s what the gen description is:

Now, so far, the description is followed to a T.

I AM gonna bend the last rule a bit when it comes to pets.

So Sun can have a good relationship with his grandma, his future cat, and the Grey Gen heir.

No one else.

And it says nothing about no enemies. So…

That, and there’s literally no space on our current lot for a rocket. So I’m gonna wait till we’re living on our own. (You bet I’ll make a whole station just for this rocket)

In terms of a SPOUSE…

This is where the rules confuses me. Cause I’ve watched people do this challenge on YouTube, and their yellow gen heirs got spouses. Even LilSimsie did it, so… I guess spouses are allowed???

Regardless, I strongly feel like this my sim will not get a spouse.

It just doesn’t fit for me. And I want Sun to be an aroace sim. Which means he will not be looking for romance. Which means he will not fall in love.

Is that a sad outcome? In my eyes no, cause aromantic means you don’t want romance to begin with. Can’t be sad over not having something you don’t want. Sun’s gonna be just fine.

“So where would grey gen come from? This sim’s a boy, and you don’t plan on getting anyone pregnant. How do you plan on doing that?”

There are multiple options for this, actually:

Adoption; We can just adopt a newborn baby. Simple. Easy.

Science Baby; We get the newborn as a single parent. Again, simple and easy.

Aliens; We could get abducted and have grey gen be an alien… that’d be a fun idea.

Any way we decide to do it, it works for Grey gen’s story to be raised by a single dad. Plus the context of never knowing your birth parents/being born out of literal science/being from another planet.

There is no where in the rules that says we HAVE to get the heir by pregnancy. So I think this is perfectly fine.

Anyway, while we’re waiting on Ruby’s career to be maxed out and her elder age to arrive so she can marry Kaori, Im gonna focus on this gen. As Sun ages up into a teen soon.

(Future me: This is what he looks like.)

About Sun Nosobirrie:

Sun Nosobirrie has NOT had the best of upbringing, unfortunately.

His mom, Ruby, is a rich and ruthless political woman, and she lives with her twin brother and his husband.

Said husband is also her ex. (The first of many.) Laurant was her high school sweetheart and they broke up. Then in their young adult life, the guy hooked up with her brother, Kian, who ALSO had a crush on him. (So we had a love triangle.)

And Ruby caught them doing it in a bush.

Why do I bring this up? Because this is what drove her… a little mad.

She went to a bar to find a hook up out of jealousy. Then she met a near perfect guy for her: Diego Lobo.

They did it. And Ruby got pregnant.

Thus, on Harvestfest, Sun was born.

Why was he named Sun? Because she was so distraught by the idea she had a son that the doctor mistakingly thought she was naming her kid Sun.

And the guy? Diego? He DIED.

So, Ruby never saw him again. And Sun would NEVER meet his father.

As for what Ruby planned to do as devotion to her child?

None actually, cause she put him in the attic.

Yep. Sun lives in the attic. All his life.

Luckily, he didn’t die. As Pepper, his grandma, found him. And she would proceed to be the one to raise him.

Pepper would always be there for Sun. From raising him as an infant to being his company at a mountain vacation as a toddler to motivating his space ambitions as a child.

She was the only one who remembered his birthday one time.

She’s the one who told him “The Sun always rises” when he couldn’t see the sunrise from the clouds.

She’s the one who told him about Sixam and his aunt being from there. That the only ones who find aliens are the ones that look for them the hardest.

And then in his child years, Pepper passed away. Of old age.

So Sun lost his beloved grandma, and the one person who believed in him.

Cause the rest of his family? NOT supportive.

His grandpa? Well Pepper and Salim were falling out at the time (and got back together) so he wasn’t there.

His aunts? Not in the household. One of them mistook him for a painting easel and splattered chocolate sauce and flour on him as a baby.

His uncles? Incompetent. And they adopted a baby of their own, so they’re more focused on that kid than him.

His dad? Dead.

His mom? A really strict, uncaring, neglectful, terrible parent.

This woman not only put him the attic, but she also took no effort to try and understand her son, yelling at him and grounding him for even the smallest of things, arguing with him, forcing him to clean like some servant, and debunking his confidence pretty much.

So Sun’s pretty much taken it all and moved on with his life. He’s searched through junk in the attic and made his own living space out of scraps. And he’s taken a liking in space.

This is because Pepper was a bit of a scientist back in her day. She’s studied space and the tech used to advance studies to space. So she’s casually told him her wildest stories about these inventions and her experience with space.

It’s his special interest. It’s all he cares about. He will do whatever he can to get there.

So that’s the backstory we’re working with here. It’s not a happy one.

Nerd Brain : Sun, in personality, is a huge nerd. A very 2000s stereotype nerd. A loser. Too stressed? He’ll study. He’ll share his knowledge even when no one asks. And no one will care ten to one.

ESPECIALLY if that knowledge of about space.

His attic upbringing also helps him adjust to being the handy type. He reinvents stuff to make his own living.

Loner : This upbringing has also shaped him as an introvert. By choice now. He prefers his own solitude and space. (Get it?)

On top of that, he’s very overwhelmed and overstimulated in crowded spaces and loud noises.

Going back to him only talking about space and most of his knowledge being space related, I have headcanoned Sun as autistic. Somewhere on the spectrum.

Clumsy : Nerd stereotype. He’s a klutz. Like some anime protagonist. He trips over his own feet from seemingly nothing, and sometimes becomes contagious with his clumsy nature in group activities.

Ambitious : He’s DEVOTED to his dreams. He works hard on everything he does and doesn’t stop until he’s able to get to space and explore everything imaginable. This goes for small stuff too, like books or building. It’s this ambition that helped him ace elementary school, despite the outside subjects being boring.

Other :

Sun is aroace. He’s aromantic as in uninterested in romance, and asexual as in uninterested in sex. His mom is a CRAZY romance fanatic. That’s not the sole reason for his sexuality, it’s just an amplifier in discovering that orientation.

He’s a picky eater. Again, autistic trait. He loves pumpkin flavored stuff, and noodles. But he cannot stand seafood or sour food.

He has a bit of a connection to the sun. He’s always waking up with it and most of his mood seems to depend on if the suns out or not. I don’t know if this is relevant or not yet, but I guess that’s why he’s named Sun.

He’s a bookworm. If I could give him that trait, he’d have it. He’s very into literature, even as a toddler. Taught himself how to read.

Stressed? A good book is what calms him down.

Then, as a teen, he’s starting to write his own books as a hobby and a sub career. (Ironically his grandpa was a best selling author, thus also a writer)

So that’s the character. I really like him for our first male heir in this challenge. I love Pepper and Ruby, but they’re both… chaotic people. Sun meanwhile reads to me as a tragic precious bean who needs some love and support and needs help to get a better life and get out of his current abusive household situation.

As April rolled around once again, signaling the arrival of our beloved anime "Your Lie in April," I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and nostalgia. This month held a special place in our hearts, as it was a reminder of the emotional journey we had experienced alongside the characters. The bittersweet melodies and heartfelt performances had left a lasting impact on us, and we eagerly anticipated reliving those moments as we gathered with friends for viewing parties and discussions. The anime had not only entertained us, but also taught us valuable lessons about love, loss, and the power of music. 

In anticipation of this momentous month, I decided to channel my creativity into a fanart that paid homage to the series. The subject of my artwork was the captivating and enigmatic character, Kaori Miyazono. Known for her vibrant personality and undeniable talent as a violinist, she had captured the hearts of fans worldwide. Kaori's character development throughout the series was truly remarkable, as she faced personal struggles and showcased incredible resilience. Her passion for music was infectious, inspiring many of us to pursue our own artistic endeavours. Creating the fanart allowed me to express my admiration for Kaori and the impact she had on both the story and our lives. 

Drawing inspiration from a fanart I had come across, I meticulously recreated the essence of Kaori. Her long, flowing golden hair cascaded down her back, catching the light in a way that seemed to mirror her effervescent spirit. With every stroke of the digital pen, I sought to capture her vivaciousness, her zest for life, and her unwavering determination. The vibrant colours I chose for her eyes reflected the depth of her emotions, while the gentle curve of her smile conveyed a sense of warmth and joy. As I added the final touches to the artwork, I couldn't help but feel a sense of connection to Kaori and the powerful message she represented - that even in the face of adversity, one can find beauty and strength. It was through this fanart that I not only paid tribute to a beloved character but also discovered my own passion for art.

The scene I depicted was carefully chosen to reflect the emotional depth of the anime. Kaori stood behind blooming cherry blossom tree, its delicate petals drifting gently in the air, symbolizing the transient nature of life and the fleeting beauty that surrounded her. The soft hues of pink and white enveloped her, creating a serene atmosphere that echoed the bittersweet tone of the series. Her tears cascading down her cheeks as she had a gentle smile on her face, capturing the complex emotions she experienced throughout the story. The contrast between her tear-stained cheeks and the delicate cherry blossoms added a poignant touch, conveying the juxtaposition of joy and sorrow that resonated with viewers. 

To further accentuate Kaori's connection to music, I illustrated her holding a violin, her fingers delicately poised on the strings. The instrument, an extension of her soul, seemed to come alive in her hands, ready to paint the world with its enchanting melodies. As the story unfolded, Kaori's passion for music became a powerful force, transcending the boundaries of language and reaching deep into the hearts of those who listened. Her performances were filled with raw emotion, as if every note she played carried a piece of her own inner turmoil. It was through her music that she found solace, expressing the depths of her complex emotions in a way that words could never capture. 

As I added the finishing touches to the artwork, the emotions stirred within me. It was a tribute to a character who had left an indelible mark on our hearts, an expression of gratitude for the joy and sorrow she had evoked within us. The vibrant colours and intricate details of the artwork mirrored the intensity of her music, capturing the essence of her soulful melodies. It was a visual representation of the profound impact she had on our lives, reminding us of the power of artistic expression to transcend words and touch our hearts in ways we never thought possible. 

With a sense of pride and anticipation, I presented the fanart to my fellow anime enthusiasts, knowing that they would recognize and appreciate the significance behind the portrayal of Kaori Miyazono. It was my way of immersing myself once again in the beauty of "Your Lie in April" and celebrating the impact it had on our lives. The fanart served as a visual testament to the emotional journey we had all experienced through the anime, capturing the essence of Kaori's character and the profound emotions she evoked. As we gathered around to admire the artwork, it became a shared moment of connection and gratitude for the transformative power of storytelling and its ability to leave a lasting impression on our souls. 

As we delved into the month of April, surrounded by the essence of this beloved anime, my fanart became a visual reminder of the power of storytelling, the beauty of art, and the profound connections we forge with fictional characters. It was a tribute to Kaori Miyazono, a character who had not only captivated our imaginations but had also left an enduring legacy within the anime community. Through my fanart, I aimed to capture the essence of Kaori's vibrant spirit and the emotions she evoked within us. The intricate details and colours in my artwork served as a testament to the impact she had on our lives, reminding us of the profound connections we can form with fictional characters and the transformative power of storytelling.

“Excellent, I simply cannot wait to bring your lovely visions to life, my dearest, dark darling.” Moving to capture her lips in a kiss, she can’t help but imagine the beauty of such a performance. She would have to make it perfect to be worthy of the woman that she so dearly cared for. 

“However, perhaps we should merely enjoy what time we have together away from work. Shall we take a walk? The sounds of suffering shall be beautiful music that makes your voice a true melody, ma cherie.” 

Even like this, she wanted nothing more than for Kaori to express herself. A part of her, right now that she was thinking about it, was a little sad that the other’s father was already gone. What she would have given to truly pull of the death of an evil king sort of story… to see her beloved tear her tormentor apart with her own bare hands in front of a crowd.. Throwing his flesh to them as they devour it in front of his dying eyes… ah, that was a blissful idea… but impossible now. Though… perhaps she could find a look alike for Kaori…

It was truly a shame as Kaori wanted to see the others work oh so badly..she was happy that the other felt the same way..it was a shame, however spreading despair was important to them.

“It truly is..ah..I do yearn for you..so. However that is a wonderful idea..those children are quite used to such sights by now. They do a wonderful job of getting rid of some adults out there..seeing a play from you would be a wonderful reward.” She wasn’t worried at all..which was a good thing at least.

She smiles seeing how excited the other was before smiling with a nod. “Course..I have quite a lot of ideas and visions. I can’t wait to see you, dear.”

Rainstorm! Beloved!

It's Storytell-me-many-facts-about neat-stuff-in-your-wips-er Saturday so please indulge and educate me on those so I can make informed and excited comments on your posts later. Thanks.

Thank you Sleepy!

I love talking about my wips but I'm also not very good at talking about my wips. Most people think the biggest barrier to writing a book is actually writing a book but I swear it's writing a blurb about my book.

Here's some random facts about Beyond the Darkness:

It has two protagonists—Thea and Nix. They are both kind of walking disasters

Thea and her brother Kai get adopted into the found family of which Nix is already a member. He would die for his found family even though he pretends like he is a reluctant member.

Gram is the dad of the found family, the kind of dad who is likely to get in just as much trouble for rule-breaking as the kids. Lucan is like the tired, exasperated mom of the found family (not by choice but because someone has to be).

Kaori is the main antagonist though I don't really consider her a villain. She doesn't have the purest motives and she definitely commits some atrocities, but she could have just as easily been a member of the found family. She's meant to be a sympathetic, morally-gray antagonist who serves as a foil for how the MCs could have turned out if they had made different choices

Ryu eventually joins the found family as well. Which is good because he may be the biggest disaster of all. Poor guy.

Some other things my wip includes are:

psychokinetic abilities

hurt/comfort

lots and lots and lots of angst

psychokinetic abilities

mysterious dreams

Secrets™

a multi-generational war

everyone gets a sad backstory

My actual wip intros need updating but I recommend checking out my OC intros linked in my pinned post.
