Doc Hero Preview

Chapter 1: Critical Moments

Beep… Beep… Beep…

Alright, connecting the artificial trachea.

It was very delicate work that Lance was performing. Work that where every move he made counted… that where even the smallest mistake could lead to complications later on. 

However, he did not let the fear of mistakes hold him back. This was too important.

His eyes narrowed in focus as he kept his hands steady, moving and connecting parts together with a special set of forceps and sutures. Despite the barrier between him and his project, his movements were still as delicate as they usually were.

Complete focus, despite the sounds of rock and roll spilling from his colleague’s side of the work room. As far as Lance was concerned, Anthony wasn’t even there with how focused he was… Least, until he knew when he needed to ask for help.

“Anthony?” Lance called, breaking from his concentration but not looking away from his work. “Can you start the vent for me?”

“Got it. Comin’ right over.”

His colleague dropped what he was doing, hurrying over to Lance. He stopped for a moment to marvel at what was being created within the sterile barriered work area. It was small, but the artificial tissue and muscle were built to expand and grow.

A perfect lung. 

It didn’t match the references of its organic counterpart, made up of a fine white artificial tissue but everything else about it was correct.

“Wow… You’ve really out done yourself this time, Lancelot. It’s incredible.”

“It will be if it works and doesn’t collapse like the last one did.” Lance quipped, still keeping his eyes on the lung. “Vent?”

“Right, right, comin’ up.”

Anthony connected a ventilator to the artificial trachea, starting up the machine as soon as it was secure, joining Lance’s side once more to watch. 

Moment of truth… Please… Work… Breathe.

It went quiet as they awaited the results, Anthony and Lance not even realizing they were holding their own breaths, the tension rising.

Soon, air forced its way into the artificial organ… expanding and contracting… breathing.

It was breathing.

It was quiet for another moment before both men let out a cheer, bumping shoulders to one another.

“YES! IT WORKS!” Anthony laughed.

“It works… Thank goodness…” Lance sighed in relief. “It really works.”

Anthony grinned, giving one of Lance’s shoulders a good squeeze.

“You did it, Lancelot. Way to go, man.”

Lance smiled thinly, a small chuckle leaving him. It was a success and he was quite proud… but there was still work to be done.

He set down his tools in the sterile environment, withdrawing his hands from it.

“Keep it clean. I need to go check on our patient.”

“Will do. Ryoko is coming by later, right?”

“Yep. After work as always.”

Lance let out another sigh of relief, heading down the hall towards the area of his lab that led to his actual home.

He was making progress. Slow and steady… but progress all the same.

Just hang on Nozi.

Uncle Lance is gonna make it all better.

oooooo

The first thing he noted was a car wrapped around a tree. Around it, were other cars that were either tipped over onto their sides or in one case, completely flipped upside down.

Alright, four cars in total, just like we were warned.

Kuro took a deep breath to steady himself before looking to his comrades. 

“Alright, we’re looking at a mass casualty situation. Ebony, what’s that status on our backup?” 

“ETA is five minutes.” She replied, already hurrying over to one of the cars.

“Perfect. Alright.” He hefted a duffle bag over his shoulder. “Dominic, you're with me! Connor, get started on that car!” He thumbed over to the turned over sedan. “You and Ebony can handle THAT.”

“Got it, Kuro!”

“Sir yes sir!”

Kuro nodded before breaking into a jog, Dominic right behind him.

As they approached the car, they took note there was severe damage to the front end. Dents and scratches, the windshield covered in a spiderweb of cracked glass.

A silhouette in the front seat slumped over against the airbag, blood splattered against it and the window.

Kuro winced, praying for the best.

“Let’s get them out and start triage.”

Dominic nodded, grabbing ahold of the door, pulling at it… the metal crumpling in his fingertips. Within seconds, he pulled the door clean off the car with ease.

Kuro stepped around him, pressing his fingertips to the patient’s neck, feeling for a pulse.

After a moment, there was the distinct fluttering of a heart beat. 

He let out a sigh of relief.

“Alright, let’s pull them out.”

“I got the neck brace.” 

It took a bit to maneuver the patient out but once they were, it was right to work from there.  

“Unconscious female, mid twenties.” Kuro noted as they examined the patient.

Dominic grimaced, feeling the arm that had been pressed into the side of the door. 

“Broken arm, definitely.”  

Kuro passed him a splint from their kit as he went about checking the patient for head injuries. Her pupils dilated normally as a light was passed over them. 

“Pupils are reacting normally. Can’t rule out head or neck injuries entirely till we get her back to the hospital. Let’s keep an eye on her-”

“DANGIT!”

Both gave a puzzled look before glancing over to where Ebony and Connor were. They were having a difficult time pulling their patient from the car.

Kuro shook his head, turning his attention back to the patient.

“Go help them. I’m gonna check the car for IDs.”

“Just don’t get blown up.” Dominic smirked, before hurrying over. “Hang on!”

“Had it happen once, don’t want it again!” Kuro snapped back before hurrying back to the car. Keeping the warning in mind, he checked for gasoline leaks before proceeding to rifle through the woman’s car.

He found a purse, digging through it before finding an ID, reading it over.

Alright, Leslie, we’ll take good care of ya.

Now, if backup would just GET OVER HERE ALREADY! 

He took another deep breath, nodding to himself, running back to his patient, keeping an eye on their vital signs. After a few moments he took a glance up towards the rest of his team again.

“How’re things looking over there?”

Dominic scoffed as he lifted the car onto its side, allowing Connor and Ebony to pull the driver out.

“As best as we can.” 

The patient let out a groan as they were pulled away from the wreckage.

“Ugh…”

“Hey, can you hear me?” Ebony asked.

“Mgh…Y-Yeah?” They grimaced. 

“Good. Do you know what day it is?”

“Tuesday- look, why is this relevant…?” 

Ebony and Connor exchanged a look. The patient gave them a glare, crossing their arms.

“Just turn the car over and I’ll-”

“Nope. Look, let me get a better look at you. Sides, this sucker ain’t going anywhere.” Connor nodded to the vehicle.

Dominic merely held up the door he had to tear off when he flipped it back over.

The patient took one look at their car before letting out a frustrated growl.

“Are you freaking kidding me!?” They pushed themselves up. “No, get your hands off my CAR-”

“Sir, please, stay still.” 

“GET OFF OF ME!”

They moved to throw a punch, only for it to be blocked with ease. Connor gave a reassuring look… though his gaze was fierce.

“Lie down and let me check you over. If you're fine, sure, go ahead and get up but you're not leaving.”

“Fine, fine, FINE…”

“Look, I promise I’ll take care of ya. So, just try to relax until backup gets here, got it?” Connor assured as he got to work. “You remember what happened before the crash?”

“Yeah, some broad was sleepin' in the middle of the freaking road…” The patient growled. “The other driver swerved to try not to hit her then I slammed into them then… Yeah. I don’t remember what happened after but if that stupid broad wasn’t in the road I’d be FINE.”

“Mm-hm.”

Connor felt the patients ribcage as they let out a sharp gasp.

“You’ll need a chest x-ray at the hospital and you're definitely not going anywhere… Sleeping woman, huh?” He looked around. “Are we missing a patient?”

“No, why?” Kuro asked.

“He said there was someone sleeping in the road. A woman. That’s how the crash started.”

Kuro looked up from his own patient, concerned. He reached into his pantleg pocket, pulling out a radio.

“This is Curacion to Dispatch, over.”

“We hear you. What’s going on?”

“Tell backup we have a missing patient. Woman who was supposedly unconscious on the road. Might be inebriated and wandering the forest around the shoulder.”

“Copy that.”

He put the radio away, looking around one more time. Sirens were cutting through the air now as the rest of their backup arrived. More paramedics were pouring out of the ambulances, a few hurrying his way. He quickly relayed the patients stats before pushing himself up to his feet.

He heard a yelp from his left as he whirled around, breaking into a sprint.

“What’s wrong?!”

“DANGIT! KURO, GET ME A HAND OVER HERE!”

Ebony and Dominic had the last patient laid out, putting pressure on a massive wound in his chest, a neckbrace holding his head still.

“Good heavens, what the heck happened to him!?”

“Glass from the windshield pushed into him by the airbag.” 

Kuro flinched before he got to work, assessing the young man’s vitals.

He noted the way the young man was breathing, looping his stethoscope over his shoulders. 

Respiration is low… loss of blood… needs to be treated before shock can set in.

He quickly got a saline drip started before beginning to administer first aid.

He waved over one of the other first responders as their backup got to work assisting them. 

“Get this one ready to go along with the woman!” Kuro barked, his eyes blazing with determination. 

“And the missing one?” The first responder asked.

“No clue. Connor, the guy say what she looks like?”

Connor eyed the patient he was treating.

“Heck if I remember… Black hair looked pretty… Had something kind of...  Kinda like that chick’s arm.” He thumbed over to Ebony, pointing to the silvery metal of her prosthetic. 

“So, we’re looking for a missing amputee, got it." Connor nodded before looking to his comrades. "You heard ‘em!”

“Alright, move out! Dominic, Connor, I’ll take over here, you go with search and rescue. Report back if you find that girl.”

“Sir yes sir!”

“Ebony, you're with me. Let’s get this guy ready to head out.”

“Got it!”

As they hurried out, Kuro glanced back towards the woods. The sun was setting, lighting the sky a blaze with its colors, the treeline casting ominous shadows along the ground. 

He should have been relieved, though his stomach was doing somersaults. 

Something about this just didn’t feel right.

If she was in the road when the accident happened we should’ve found signs of another person. Blood, hair, a mangled body if the first car is anything to go by.

I just pray wherever she is, that she's alright.

Hi guys! Welcome to the first preview for my next book Doc Hero, coming November 15th. :)

[cabbagestrand]

Hi, if you’re still taking requests, I would like to suggest Maya and Claudine playing tennis because I really love that memoir in the Revue Starlight game :D

here they are! i still think maya has a beautiful backhand and does lots of spins while kuro is a heavy hitter that would break arms, also specialized in countering mayas spins lmao.

[doritoflorito]

finished my last troupe in the revue starlight mobile game a few days ago and with that ive finally retired from the game!!! i loved my guild mates a lot they were super fun!!!! so i drew them a little something to thank them for the good times we've had the past few months ;w;

[revuestarlight]

Imagine if Yachiyo predicted Fumi's downfall long before it happened. She sees how the personalities and desires of all the Edels and Shiori would push her to leave. But she didn't try to do anything to prevent it, both because she thought it was inevitable and she couldn't do anything to change it, and because she figured that Fumi was going to be miserable at Siegfeld anyway and that Fumi's story would eventually lead her back to the stage and cause her to find happiness again somewhere else.

yeah i think this is the case... valentine's showed us just how surgical yachiyo can get with fumi's mindset so i think that is an implication fool intermission is making, but more... i don't know how to describe it, more cold? she was/is probably too cynical to hope for fumi finding happiness, at least the way she is now. look here:

Yachiyo (Fool): "Once one leaves the stage, they can never come back. That is the truth I've learned on this great journey." "But... That's exactly what you did. You defied all expectations and leaped onto the throne of the Empress. It was the first time... anything of the damn sort had ever happened."

first time, huh? interesting specification there. remember that fool is an almost 1-1 reflection of yachiyo herself, so this is a display of her genuine thoughts. the two extrapolations you could make is, a. yachiyo never believed fumi left the stage at all, or b. yachiyo believes fumi is still unworthy of calling herself a stage girl.

there's one more subtle detail that, at least i think, makes the latter much more likely, yachiyo's general grimness aside. it's to do with this line:

Yachiyo: Plus, there's Akira-senpai, Michiru-senpai... Maya-san, Kuro-san, Tamao-san and Shizuha-san giving their all on stage... First years should play the role of first years.

the conversation following this pays attention to her last sentence but the thing is? the listing-off of people like this repeats a lot in arcana arcadia, but for contrast let's just pull from the other edels. act ii, part 6 and 7:

Michiru: It's not only Maya-chan and Claudine-chan. There's also Karen-chan, Hikari-chan, Nana-chan...Shizuha-chan, Tsukasa-chan. Tamao-chan and...Fumi.

Akira: Maya Tendo, Claudine Saijo, Karen Aijo, and Hikari Kagura... Shizuha Kocho...Tamao Tomoe, and...Fumi Yumeoji.

reading these examples... isn't it fun that yachiyo's equivalent is singling someone out? yeah. interesting, right? take this with yachiyo's "you've changed" scene in valentine's that retroactively sounds more backhanded than ever, and...

TL;DR: yes but also no. she doesn't think highly of fumi enough to believe her to be able to find happiness. lmao

Maid Maya - Bond Story, Part 2

You can watch the video here! Translation below the cut!

Deliciousness Condensed Into a Drop

Nana: Everyone~! It's 3'o'clock~! Karen: It's time for the baumkuchen that Tendo-san and Junjun brought back~! Karen: Baumkuchen~♪ Kuchen, baum~♪ Maya: You're the first to arrive, I see, Aijo-san. Karen: I mean, it's the baumkuchen you picked out, after all! Karen: It's absolutely sure to be tasty, so I've been looking forward to eating it! Nana: Fufu, then I'll give you the first serving♪ Karen: Yay! Student #1, Aijo Karen! Will now eat this baumkuchen... Karen: Wait, huh? Tendo-san is preparing the tea~! Maya: I asked Daiba-san to let me help. Maya: In the play we performed the other day, "Mafia Familia", there weren't many serving scenes like you'd expect for a maid. Claudine: Oh, Tendo Maya is serving today? Karen: Kuro-chan, you're late~! Claudine: You're just early. Claudine: Black tea brewed by Tendo Maya... Do you really think it can meet my needs? Maya: A perfect serving from a perfect maid... Please enjoy it. Nana: Wa~h, clapclap~ Maya: As you're aware, today's treat is baumkuchen. Maya: As such, to compliment the sweetness of the cake, I have prepared an Assam. Claudine: Hmmm, not bad! I'll naturally be having thé au lait. Karen: The olé? Claudine: It's French for milk tea. I'm a bit picky when it comes to black tea. Claudine: As for sugar--- Maya: None, correct? Claudine: !? Maya: In the case of milk tea, the leaves are doubled. The time spent steeping them is a bit longer. The ratio of tea to milk is 2:1... Maya: ---Will that be to your liking? Claudine: H-How do you know that much! ...That's correct, though! Maya: A perfect serving from a perfect maid... As I said. Claudine: Gununu... What an insufferable woman...!

Maya: Well then, today's golden drop goes to you, Saijo Claudine. Karen: Golden drop? Nana: It's said the last drop in the pot has the richness of the tea condensed in it, so the cup it's added to has a special deliciousness. Claudine: ...Thanks. Maya: Please, the rest of you, as well. Nana: Oookay♪ Karen: Thanks for the tea! Slurp... Claudine: ...Ah. Karen: !! Wow! It's super tasty, Tendo-san! Nana: It is... It has a strong scent because so many leaves were used, but I can't taste any bitterness... Nana: Mm-hm, I think it's a perfect milk tea♪ Maya: I'm flattered to hear that. ...How about you, Saijo Claudine? Claudine: H-...hmph. It's so-so, I guess? Karen: Eeeh, how is this so-so, it's so good! Karen: Not to mention this... Nomnom... Karen: Yep! It goes perfectly with this baumkuchen! Maya: Fufu, it was chosen by Hoshimi-san, to go with the tea. Nana: Mm-hm, this baumkuchen is really tasty♪ Junna: Tendo-san is really good at brewing black tea. Claudine: H-...hmph! She's so-so, I guess? Nana: Geez. Kuro-chan, you just can't be honest in front of Maya-chan, can you~♪ Karen: Yeah, even though it's so good. You just can't be honest in front of Tendo-san, can you~ Claudine: Th-That's not really--...! Maya: It seems it's not to your liking... My apologies, Claudine-ojousama. Claudine: Ojo-, ojousama!? Nana is the one playing the ojousama in "Mafia Familia"! Maya: Fufu, right now I'm the perfect maid. While I'm serving you, you are all my ojousama. Nana: Wow, as expected of the perfect maid♪ Karen: Man, having Tendo-san call us 'ojousama', what a luxury! Maya: Please, I am at your service, Claudine-ojousama. Maya: Would you like more tea? If you're tired, shall I rub your shoulders? Maya: If you would like to eat the baumkuchen, then excuse me, I'll... Claudine: No--...Non merci! I'm fine! You're getting too carried away, Tendo Maya! Maya: My apologies, Claudine-ojousama. Claudine: Don't act all timid! You really are an insufferable woman! Maya: I'm flattered to hear that.

Revue Starlight Supernatural AU: Blood Donors (part 2)

Tendo Maya was terrified. Life had been so good lately that she just knew the other shoe was about to drop. And it was going to be all her fault. For there was something dangling like the sword of Damocles over the most precious thing in Maya’s life.

Her beautiful, defiant Claudine had finally blessed her by letting Maya love her. These last few months with her partner fully and willingly by her side have been blissful, more than Maya could have ever hoped for and yet…

She wanted more.

That was the awful, selfish truth. She was such a wretched creature that she couldn’t just enjoy the moments Claudine was wrapped up in her arms without wanting to consume her completely.

She wanted to taste the sweet lifeblood running though those veins. Claudine was so full of fire, it shone in her eyes whenever she challenged Maya, whenever she stood up to try again and again, even if she knew she was going to lose. Maya would bet everything she owned that Claudine’s blood was as powerful as the blonde’s resolve to reach the top. Maya wanted it so badly.

But there was no way she was worthy of such a precious gift.

There was no way Claudine would share her lifeforce with Maya, especially if she realized how selfish her girlfriend really was. If she knew the depths of Maya’s hunger for her, the wolf would run away as fast as she could. Because Maya longed for a lot of things. Not only for Kuro’s blood, but for the chance of taking care of her while she recovered from the blood loss. For having the especial kind of bond that formed between vampire and donor. For being able to tell the world (and every other vampire) that this wonderful creature was hers and she was going to protect and cherish her til her dying breath.

But it will all remain as a secret wish, because Maya was terrified of Claudine’s possible rejection. She was too much of a coward to ask for something so sacred.

At least, it will remain secret for a while. Maya knew it was going to come out sooner or later and then this perfect little bubble she’s been living in with her beloved would implode in her face.

So when an absolutely livid Kaoruko clad only in a bathrobe stormed into Maya’s room, the brunette felt her stomach sinking. She already knew where this was going.

“Tendou-han, I will have a few words with you. There are a lot of things I want to say, but the first is: what the fuck do you think you’re doing?”

Maya tried to play dumb. There was a small chance this was about something else after all.

Wrong. It was exactly what she thought it was about. Time to change tactics. She told Kaoruko it was none of her bussiness, giving her a serious look. Her fellow vampire did respect her after all, maybe even saw her as a bit of a mentor. Hopefully that would be enough to get her to back off.

“Oh yeah? Then why did I have to teach Kuro-han about sharing blood? And why is my fiancée holding her while she cries right now?”

If Maya thought her stomach was sinking earlier, it was now somewhere in the underworld. Making Claudine cry in pain was the last thing she wanted.

She could feel her neutral mask cracking as the guilt hit her. Claudine was the one person who really got to her enough to make her lose her cool when there where witnesses around. Kaoruko saw her weakness and pounced, relentlessly pushing until the ugly truth fell from Maya’s lips.

Soon, all her insecurities came rushing out. Kaoruko’s anger started fading the more she heard Maya talk. By the time Maya’s voice was scratchy from overuse and tears where running down her cheeks, Kaoruko was holding her and caressing her hair.

“You dummy, Kuro-han feels she is the one who’s not good enough for you. There’s nothing to be afraid of”

Kaoruko went on to explain what had happened in the bathroom in detail, and tried to convince Maya just to talk about it with Claudine. Maya’s resolve to keep her feelings hidden started to crumble. Maybe she should talk to her wolf, the damage was already done anyways.

By the time Kaoruko was satisfied enough with her efforts to make Maya stop being an idiot (her words), it was already late enough for everyone else to be in bed.

Maya reluctantly made her way to Kuro’s room. She didn’t know what to expect.

She certainly didn’t expect the door to be locked.

Claudine never locked her door. Ever since Maya started her nightly visits, she could just walk into the blonde’s room.

She fled back to her room. She was not ashamed to admit she cried herself to sleep. It seems she has her answer, and it was exactly what she thought it would be.

The next two days were excruciating, for everyone. All the girls could tell something was wrong, and they were walking on eggshells around the pair. Kaoruko and Futaba tried to help, but they couldn’t hope to match their stubbornness.

The worst part, in Maya’s opinion, was the way Claudine seemed so… subdued. All the fight seemed to have gone out of her. She could barely meet Maya’s eyes, even when they were practicing. Needless to say, rehearsals had been hell.

It happened during the third day.

Someone from class B screwed up and a fairly heavy prop went flying at Maya’s head. She was too busy staring wistfully at her girlfriend (was she still her girlfriend?) to actually use her superior reflexes to dodge like any sensible person would.

Next thing she knows, she’s on the ground with Claudine kneeling next to her. The blonde was talking a mile a minute, looking terrified. Maya wished she could understand her, but her ears are ringing and she could feel a warm, sticky fluid running down her temple.

Finally, the ringing went down enough for her to hear all the girls talking over each other. Some asking if she was alright, others about taking her to the nurse, some even thinking of calling an ambulance. Someone (most likely another vampire) said that she should drink blood immediately to help her body deal with the damage. Everyone agreed it was a good idea, but there was a tiny problem. Namely, no one had any blood bags at hand.

“Take mine”

Maya must be hallucinating, there was no way she heard those words come out of Claudine’s lips. Then the girl threw her thick hair over one shoulder, exposing the other to the brunette’s gaze. Kuro slowly moved closer, determination shining in her eyes. Right until Maya sat up and took her arm in a vice grip to halt her in her tracks.

“No”

Kuro visibly took it the wrong way. She scowled, and practically growled the next words.

“Don’t be stupid, you need it!”

“I said no”

Despite her best efforts to stay angry, Kuro felt herself tearing up. Was Maya really so repulsed by her that she would refuse her even in a emergency?

“Listen, I… I know you don’t… You don’t want me like that. I know I’m not good enough to be your donor… But please, just this once, just take it”

Kuro closed her eyes, trying not to cry in front of everyone, only to snap then back open when she felt a hand lovingly cupping her face. What she saw left her breathless: Her vampire, with the softest look in her eyes, not even attempting to hide the fondness that was clear in her eyes and her voice as she spoke and absolutely destroyed her.

“My Claudine… You are so precious to me, and you deserve so much better than this” Maya brought her forehead against Kuro’s, staring deeply into widening crimson eyes, willing the blonde to feel her sincerity. Her voice took on that low, smooth tone that her girlfriend not-so-secretly loved as she murmured the next words against Claudine’s lips, “When I take your blood for the first time, it will be on a soft bed, surrounded by candlelight as I hold you in my arms all night long, with only the moon as our witness.”

Several people gasped, but Maya was too focused on Claudine (and probably concussed) to care. Claudine’s face was going through every shade of red as she sputtered and babbled in French, completely flustered, and it was too adorable to miss.

Sadly, the head wound caught up to her. Her vision was going black around the edges, so she closed her eyes and rested her head against Kuro’s shoulder. Maybe if she took a short nap…

After being discharged from the hospital, Maya spent the night In Kuro’s room, cuddling and finally talking about their feelings. Claudine seemed more flustered than usual since Maya regained consciousness, but the vampire dismissed it. Her girlfriend had never been the best at handling feelings.

What Maya didn’t know and Claudine refused to tell her is that, in werewolf culture, making romantic declarations or gestures and proclaiming the moon as a witness was basically proposing. To make matters worse, many wolves from both classes had been present for it, so now the entire school was on fire with gossip about the two top students. And the absolute worst: Kaoruko was fully aware of the meaning of Maya’s words, and Kuro could feel her smirking even when that cursed vampire wasn’t in the room.

What neither of them knew was that Nana was already planning their future mating ceremony. She was secretly conspiring with Kuro’s mother as well. Banana and Mrs. Saijo knew that both Kuro and Maya were career-oriented people, so they probably wouldn’t be mated until they were in their late twenties, but it never hurt to be prepared.

A week later, everyone stared as a dopey Maya stuck to Kuro like glue, playing the part of the perfect gentleman and spoiling her girlfriend in any way she could. Even the teachers surrendered to their fate and let her stay by Kuro’s side all day long, even in class. The poor blonde wolf spent the day blushing to the roots of her hair under everyone’s knowing glances.

When they arrived home, Kuro cursed the fact that Futaba’s bike let Kaoruko arrive first, as the little menace had put up banners proclaiming ‘Congrats on getting your fangs wet!’ all over the common room.

Junna and Claudine screamed.

Karen asked what that meant.

Mahiru choked.

Futaba and Hikari looked resigned.

Maya kept grinning dazedly.

And Banana took pictures.

It was wild.

~~~♡~~~

Author Notes: Curly strikes again, and is yet again sleep deprived so this is probably full of mistakes but I’m too tired to keep spellchecking, just take this offering as it is.

I almost split this in two, but I thought the cliffhanger of Maya finding out Kuro locked her door was too cruel, so it ended up being long af (hell, if you think this is ranting, you aren’t prepared for the Nanoha AU. That’s shaping up to be a whole testament. It’s coming. Maybe I’ll drop some tiny bits first).

I tried to make the declaration as over-the-top and dramatic as possible, because Kuromaya are just that Extra and gay. I wanted to title it ‘Blood donors and accidental marriage proposals’ but that would have given the surprise away.

Now we have a bit more of werewolf culture yay!

I appreciate feedback, opinions, other hc, etc. Everything gives me more ideas.

I’m about to die, see ya gays later.
