#Megumin charming

[psychcdelica]

@dcviated asked: "Hey Megumin, Merry Christmas." Raguna may or may not have snuck up on her from behind, wrapping his arms around the girl and squeeeezing her in a nice hug. Oh, there's something in his hand offered out for her. A small wrapped box is offered, and should Megumin turn to face the young man he'd be somewhat flushed in his face. "I got this for you. It's uh. A necklace." Upon opening the box and inspecting, she would find a thin metal chain that held a small charm. A smooth red stone- ruby perhaps?- held within silver prongs. "I thought it'd look really nice on you. I hope you like it. There's something for Chomusuke too, some treats I made at home, but I thought it would be better I brought them by your place."

Ah! She's not expecting the arms wrapping around her, as the greeting and well wishes reach her ears. Of course, knowing who it was - relaxes her shoulders of the tension they were holding - instead, a gentle smile finds its way to the engineer's lips. The embrace is warm and welcoming, and, oh - there's a small box in his hand. She carefully collects it, gingerly opening it with a burning blush on her own cheeks, hopefully, hidden away by her hat and hair.

"It's beautiful," she breathes out, a hushed whisper filled with awe at the present, and the giver. Gloveless fingers delicately admire the deep red of the ruby, the setting for the ruby just pronounces its beauty - simple yet elegant.

Her scarf is quickly removed, in favor of donning the necklace - at least Raguna's already behind her, prepared to help with the clasp of the necklace right? "Sorry Raguna, can you help me with this?"

Of course, Chomusuke will be thrilled, to both see Raguna and to receive his treats! Besides, she has to give Raguna his present - something simple, but hopefully, he'll like it. "Are you... coming over then? I mean - Yunyun is going to be out with her family anyway..."

I finished Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! 3

I wasn't convinced I'd be able to watch it 'til the end, because I didn't care for the movie that much and I couldn't get past one episode of the Megumin spin-off, but it was surprisingly charming! The added depth to Darkness was very welcome and I was pleasantly surprised by how Kazuma bonded with Iris. I don't think either plot line could've been executed as well earlier on in the series, since it's still a comedy series about idiot assholes, but 2 seasons and 7-8 years later, it's good to show and see how these characters have come to cherish each other, even if they show it somewhat reluctantly.

I didn't laugh as much as I did during the first season, and the animation wasn't as fun, but it did get a couple of laughs out of me, and I wasn't bothered by the animation either. With parody comedy it rarely matters if it looks badly made or unpolished, it simply adds to the jokes/charm. The only thing that drove me insane was how often they'd say シュワシュワ. Sure it's a fun word, but with the frequency they used it, it started to sound like they we're censoring alcohol, same way tiktok kids talk about unaliving, and I couldn't take it.

All in all, I don't have that much to either criticize or praise. If you've liked earlier seasons of Konosuba it's probably going to be enjoyable to you, but you're not missing out on much if you don't watch it.

PS. The highlight of the season was the endurance play Darkness and Megumin got up to, which I would've shared on my blog, but when I took a look at the tag it was mostly filled by fat fetish art and I gave up. I'll give it another try though!

Anime Update V3 10

From Me To You - Things are now taking their time, with random fluff and incidents such as Sawako, as her one good deed of the day, sheltering a hilariously ungrateful and angry puppy from the rain, and the dog later gets adopted by Kazehaya. Then there's the start of the new school term where seatings have to be changed via drawing numbers, with almost no one wanting to sit next to, behind, in front of, or across from Sawako. Kazehaya ends up going "fuck it, I'm going to take some initiative here!" and physically moves his table and seat next to Sawako's. Yano, Yoshida, and this guy named Ryuu also sit in that end of the classroom, so I guess this is our main cast. My main takeaway is how our two leads are sort of inversions of one another - Sawako is introverted yet easily lets her emotions show, while Kazehaya is extroverted yet is good at being hard to read.

Hunter x Hunter - The Hunters' assault on the royal palace finally begins and with a great big bang. Netero and Zeno did this huge, shiny strike from the sky and Netero let out a display of his full power that hits Neferpitou, who is miraculously able to survive this. Most of the episode was filled with narration and there's even a glimpse into Netero's backstory for how he attained the strength he has now.

SHUFFLE! - Well on one hand, I've warmed up to Primula enough to give a damn when it's revealed what she really is and the focus gets put on her falling ill and needing to be taken back to the demon world and possibly out of the main casts' lives forever. On the other hand, I'm not sure I welcome this sudden swerve into drama. I'm pretty sure I was expecting it at some point given similar works like CLANNAD, but I was enjoying the fun, breezy and laid-back feel the show had going, and now even the opening card, mid-episode eyecatches, and next episode previews aren't the same as they were before! I'm going to be hopeful that this goes somewhere to make this trade worth it and that the charm doesn't completely fade away.

The Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II - Had a real locked room mystery this time, one set at an estate that holds a magical workshop in the midst of a storm and had to be covered in two episodes rather than one! To make the case stranger, the client has some special eyes that allow him to see and visually communicate with a human-sized fairy that seems to be haunting the place. I loved that Reines actually got to come along in person for this one, as we got to see some good reactive comedy from her and some precious interaction between her and Gray, showing she's got more range to her than simply an evil girlboss. Also got to meet Ms. Hishiri Adashino, who Waver can barely stand, and Kairi Shishigou, a burly, shades and jacket wearing, gun-toting necromacer. Gray is confirmed to have a connection to Saber as she becomes instrumental in the fight against these terrifying black dogs. I think the one part that was iffy for me is that it repeated the "the father is the posthumous mastermind!" twist from Episode 3, only this time there was no actual ghost in the works. But it did lead to us learning of Rail Zeppelin, an underworld group that sells mystic eyes, paving the way for an unfolding story arc.

KonoSuba - The OVA episode was all kinds of priceless, if not a little bit aggrivating at points due to the characters' stupidity. Got to meet Megumin's self-proclaimed rival Yunyun, though the relationship seems to actually be one of a bully and her victim who've become friends/rivals/secret lovers. Her presence at Wiz's shop leads to Kazuma putting on a cursed choker that will drain him of his life unless his heart's wish from when it was first put on is granted. Since Kazuma is the fucking worst, he milks this situation and gets the girls to do whatever he wants them to do, hoping they'll pleasure him enough for it to be considered wish fulfillment. It doesn't pan out, so he has to confess all his sins before he goes, and long story short, he does end up dying again but it's not the choker that does him in.

Symphogear XV - With the main Symphogear girls at the lunar ruins and Shem-Ha planning on using the Curse of Balal to activate Yggdrasil so that she can distort all life on Earth, repopulate it with her own monstrous spawn, and become a true goddess, the final season is at its climax. Tsubasa and Maria work together and put up a great fight against Noble Red, but are too late to stop Shem-Ha from activating Yggdrasil, which is forming towers all over the planet!

Eureka Seven - Aside from some character growth moments for Talho and Holland, and the reassertion of Gecko State's goal, not much happened here! Basically just prepping for the fight ahead.

Gintama - OK, calling this arc "Yakuza VS Aliens" is either the most misleading thing the series could've done or it's secretly genius. The first of the three episodes sees a freak alien parasite running amuck in Edo City and famed alien hunter Umibozu arriving to exterminate it, and in the process talk his daughter Kagura into returning with him to their homeworld. Yeah, he's Kagura's father and there's a more complicated history behind Kagura's clan and why Kagura wanted to break away from it to live a normal, fun life on Earth, Kagura gets more seriously angered than we've seen her get to this point and has a fight against her old man that's settled by Gintoki making a save and....telling Kagura she should leave Earth with her father. He just gives Kagura up and walks away. What in the blazing HELL, Gin?!?

I didn't end up getting to do day 3 'cause I was busy, so I ended up doing 3 and 4 together lolol. (Note: I'm mixing between multiple prompt lists) Day 3 - Witch: This was a prompt from a friend's list. The character is Megumin from Konosuba. Day 4 - Spell: The character is my boyfriend's Tiefling bard. Or, at least, I tell myself that. I went way off the original description and created this pretty boy, lol. He's casting a healing thingo. (Yes, that is a giant scar down his back) Also, credit to Anastasia-Berry for the pose ref.

House Isekai: A Realm Reborn - Part 11, The Silver Weapon (Prologue)

Act 2 Masterlist

—

House Isekai discusses with the Leaders of Fodlan of their findings, from Recorder 247B to the Separatist Outpost, and decide their next course of action.

As they decide where to go next, urgent news puts their plans on hold...

[The Waking Sands - Final Fantasy XIV OST]

Rean closed the door behind him as he began to make his way out of the Mcgrath estate.

Opening his ARCUS unit as he walked, Rean checked the clock to make sure he woke up in time.

7 AM. Perfect.

House Isekai's staff was supposed to hold a meeting with each other to decide the best course of action.

There was the towers in their world, but according to 247B, it was already taken care of.

The idea of leaving the towers to everyone else left him uncomfortable, but the situation in Fodlan couldn't be left ignored.

He figured the others must have felt the same since no one was in a rush to go back to their original world.

Aqua and Darkness were off to rescue their allies missing in the Zanado Tower, so he supposed that problem was taken care of.

(Rean) "…Aidios, I hope those two don't make it worse."

Rean heard someone come up behind him, but judging by how heavy their footsteps were and how obnoxious the yawn was, it could only be-

(Kazuma) "Come on, what could they possibly do to make it worse? Not like Megumin's here to blow shit up."

(Rean) "True, but your group isn't exactly normal."

(Kazuma) "Thats a lotta shit comin' from the group that has their own quirks. Angelica? Crow? Millium?"

(Rean) "���Fair enough."

Down the hallway, Aigis and Towa walked side by side, then waved hello noticing Kazuma and Rean.

(Towa) "Morning!"

(Aigis) "Sleep well?"

(Rean) "Yeah. This place kind of reminds me of home, actually."

(Kazuma) "It's making me miss my own manor…"

As they went down the stairs, they saw Raelyn, Duvalie, and the ODST's in the living room.

The ODST's helmets were on the table as they checked their weapons.

Duvalie was leaning against the wall, frowning as soon as she saw Rean and Towa.

Raelyn was on one knee, holding a small charm above his bolter, presumably praying.

(Dutch) "You guys are up early."

(Kazuma) "Got a meeting for what we're supposed to do next. What are you up to?"

Buck put his rifle on his back before grabbing his helmet.

(Buck) "All this standing around is not really sitting well with us. Figured we'd do something more proactive."

(Romeo) "Being with a bunch of kids isn't our style."

(Mickey) "We're also curious about that Separatist base we've been told about, so we're gonna check it out."

(Rean) "That's not a bad idea, actually. We only have Sitri and the Garreg kids to go off of, but we still know little to nothing about them."

(Duvalie) "Which is why we're going. Why are you just stating the obvious?"

(Raelyn) "Hostility this early in the morning is uncalled for, Duvalie."

She rolled her eyes as Raelyn stood up.

(Raelyn) "And chances are these Separatists will not leave a base like that completely abandoned."

(Towa) "We'll be sure to tell you what comes out of the meeting. Stay safe alright?"

(Buck) "You got it, ma'am."

(Raelyn) "You as well, House Isekai."

The ODST's gave a casual salute to House Isekai's staff while Raelyn nodded and Duvalie shrugged.

The four walked out of the manor and towards the castle.

…

[The Ocular - Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers OST]

The four eventually arrived to the listening hall, waiting with Sitri, Sothis, Recette, and Tear.

After about 10 minutes, Dimitri entered the chamber alongside Dedue.

(Dimitri) "Good morning."

(Kazuma) "Yo. Want us to get the crystals running?"

(Dedue) "If you'd be so kind."

Aigis and Towa began to get communications up, displaying a slightly transparent image of Edelgard and Claude.

(Claude) "Hey, been a little bit!"

(Edelgard) "How did our missions go?"

(Sitri) "Allow me to begin."

Sitri was the first to explain her mission with the students.

They successfully located Valda and confirmed her involvement with the Separatists was voluntary. She was also in possession of otherworldly weapons and technology, yet seemed to be against launching the Crimson Weapon, and even the other Weapons in general.

Kazuma was next to give his report, saying the conflict with the Church and Those Who Slither began to escalate, and his encounter with the one named "C", and their willingness to help House Isekai, and the rest of Fodlan.

Lastly, Rean and Towa gave their report, encountering Recorder 247B, and how they were all referred to as "Origin Sources" and more troublingly, beginning a "Containment" protocol.

(Towa) "…So far, our people seem to be handling it, giving us time to focus our attention on Fodlan."

(Claude) "That so? Well thankfully we're a bit more prepared to handle a crisis, thanks to Edelgard here telling me that she's made weapons to kill us all."

(Edelgard) "…"

(Dimitri) "I'm afraid so far we have nothing on the Separatists' movements. Or what even their next plan is."

(Sothis) "All I remember what they said is they were going to retreat. Not much more than that."

(Recette) "Oooh, what about the railroad thingy you mentioned? Can't we follow that to the bad guy's place?"

(Aigis) "About that, we actually have some of our own going to investigate. The soldiers you see behind our class."

(Dimitri) "Hm, all of them do seem the type to handle themselves. I suppose we shall wait on their word."

(Mercedes) "Then what about Those Who Slither?"

(Edelgard) "Despite our past connections, I've been unable to determine any of their bases…"

(Claude) "Hm…I think I can investigate it with some help, thanks to you guys taking care of that serpent problem, it's been a bit calmer here at home."

(Dimitri) "I've sent Sylvain, Ingrid, and Felix to where the fighting has gotten its worst at our borders. I pray they can bring back some good news."

(Kazuma) "Anything we can do to help? Don't think twiddling our thumbs any longer in Fhirdiad is the best move for us."

(Edelgard) "With some of your own already investigating the base, I think at the moment, you are allowed a moment of respite."

(Rean) "Huh. Well that's-"

The door swung wide open, a Faerghus soldier out of breath looking frantically for Dimitri.

(Kazuma) "Oh come the fu-"

(Soldier) "K-KING DIMITRI! I BRING URGENT NEWS!"

Dimitri and Dedue frowned and stepped towards the soldier.

(Dimitri) "Speak freely."

(Soldier) "The information House Isekai had brought us, we were looking through it for the locations of the Superweapons and its deployed!"

Everyone's attention spiked at the mention of it being active.

(Soldier) "B-But thats not the disturbing part sir! It's not in possession of the Separatists! In fact its not even going for us!"

(Dedue) "What? Then who is controlling it?!"

(Sothis) "…Oh no…"

…

The train soared through the tracks of the deep forests, snow blasting back from the rails.

The train itself was massive, carrying all sorts of supplies such as weapons, food, and parts towards the next checkpoint.

More importantly, it held one of the Superweapons in it.

The train was going away from Outpost 136 as the base completely collapsed, with scarcely anytime to get every important bit of info out.

If a group were to investigate it, it for sure would result in some discovery of a secret they couldn't protect.

This all was compounded by the fact it could have been completely avoided.

Thanks to the higher-ups sending Crimson in and making themselves known before they were truly ready to deploy, Fodlan was now on the hunt for the Superweapons.

It was a miracle The Silver Weapon was kept secret enough to hide from Garreg Mach's infiltration.

Doctor Valda was near the back, checking the equipment and their next orders with the loss of the Outpost.

She checked the clipboard and rubbed her temple in frustration.

(Valda) "I cannot believe they're shipping the rest of the Weapons out for active use…"

Claus came up behind her with a worried expression.

(Claus) "Valda, you've been up ever since we left the base. Maybe you should get some rest."

She turned back to him and sighed, but giving a wry smile.

(Valda) "Doubt its going to give me any peace of mind but…Thanks."

Claus nodded and took the clipboard away.

Valda reached into her pockets and pulled out a small bottle of pills before ingesting 2 of them.

Looking at her left arm again, it was still glowing a faint orange.

(Valda) "Maybe showing off wasn't the best idea…"

(Claus) "That's what I keep telling you, ma'am."

She pretended to be offended as she took her arm to her head.

(Valda) "You wound me! How dare you not enjoy the display I did to save your life!"

Claus started to smile, finally seeing Valda's mood lift.

(Claus) "Maybe it would've been better if I had actually been awake for it-"

Claus's eyes widened when he saw the main cargo's eyes light up.

(Claus) "…Valda, why is Silver activating?"

Valda raised an eyebrow and turned to the Silver Weapon.

Although it was larger, it could fold its arms and shoulders into a more compact form for transportation.

But its head was still poking out, and now it was moving.

(Valda) "Hey, the hell are you doing in-"

(Man's voice) "Heretics…using our holy church for your own devices!"

Valda and Claus backed up, slowly realizing what was happening.

(Claus) "W-WE'VE BEEN BOARDED?!"

(Man's voice) "FOR LADY SEIROS AND THE GODDESS, YOU SHALL ALL BURN!"

The Silver Weapon's eyes glowed a bright yellow, shaking the entire train upon it's activation.

(Valda) "Oh SHIT."

ItaFushi Week 2021, Day 7: Stargazing

Can also be read on AO3!

Rating: G

Fandom: Jujutsu Kaisen

Pairing: Itafushi (Itadori/Fushiguro)

Characters: Yuuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro

Word Count: 904

Summary: On nights like these, Yuuji would much rather watch the boy next to him than the stars up above.

A/N: Inspired by this precious fanart by @arinavah! Further author’s notes can be read on AO3.

Life as a jujutsu sorcerer was hard. It was a life that demanded one find the little joys where they could. 

Lucky for Yuuji, it didn’t take very long for him to find those joys. He still had his small collection of DVDs. Kugisaki was always willing to go out into the city with him, whether it was to make him carry her shopping bags or to try out a new restaurant. The upperclassmen were maybe a little too excited to train with him, and that excitement only seemed to grow as he improved. 

But his favorite joy of all was stargazing with Fushiguro. Being next door neighbors meant their floor-to-ceiling windows opened right next to each other, and if they laid just so on the little wooden steps, they could look straight up into the night sky while their feet stayed warm in their rooms. 

The sky was pretty, the light pollution from the city thankfully not reaching the school too badly. But that wasn’t why Yuuji looked forward to those nights. No, his joy came from listening to Fushiguro speak. The usually-quiet boy seemed to open up when they laid side by side, eyes fixed on the stars. 

Maybe it was because of the night air, maybe it was because of the dark, or maybe it was because he didn’t have to look Yuuji in the eye. Whatever the reason, his answers to Yuuji’s questions came much easier, and seemed longer, and Yuuji was only too happy to listen for once. He was always the talkative one between the two of them, but that just made the moments when Fushiguro spoke more feel that much more precious to him. 

Even with how much Yuuji loved listening to Fushiguro quietly ramble about his day, there was one thing he loved just a little more: the sound of Fushiguro’s words slowing...then trailing into silence...then falling off completely, replaced by the sound of slow, deep breaths. Yuuji held his breath in anticipation, and turned his head to look at Fushiguro, and was rewarded by the sight of him fast asleep, lips parted and face completely relaxed in a way it never was during the day. 

Yuuji never moved as quietly and carefully as he did in those moments. He was meticulous in the way he scooted onto his hands and knees. As he crawled the short distance, he expertly dodged any of the creaky spots in the old wood, until he could carefully settle next to his sleeping companion. 

“Fushiguro.” 

Nothing.

“Megumi-kun.” 

Silence. 

“...Megumiiiiiiin.” 

Only the sound of deep breaths. 

That was his cue to gently place one hand on the other side of Fushiguro’s body, letting him lean over him as his eyes traced those peaceful features. 

Fushiguro really was pretty, the sharp lines of his features offset by his long lashes and soft lips. The light from their rooms made his lashes cast long shadows across his cheekbones, and a gentle breeze tousled his hair just enough to give Yuuji an excuse to carefully brush it out of his face. His fingers trailed gently across his forehead, and in his sleep, Fushiguro seemed to lean into his touch. 

“Megumin,” Yuuji murmured with a small smile. “I really like you, Megumin.” A soft huff of air escaped Fushiguro’s nose with almost uncanny timing, as though he were agreeing with the words. 

Yuuji couldn’t resist after that. He leaned down slowly, carefully, relishing the brush of their noses against each other, before he gently kissed those parted lips. It was a simple press of lips, but he couldn’t help lingering until he heard a hum and felt Fushiguro shift under him. 

“Hey.” 

“Sleeping Beauty wakes!” Yuuji cheered softly, pulling away to grin down at Fushiguro. 

“No one could sleep through that,” Fushiguro mumbled, though he couldn’t hide his sleepy smile. “Sorry, didn’t mean to fall asleep on you again.” 

“You don’t hafta apologize, I don’t mind when you sleep.” 

“Sure, because you get to stare at me like a creep.” 

“Can’t help it when I have such a pretty boyfriend!” 

Fushiguro’s eyes widened at that, and even in the dim light, Yuuji triumphantly noticed the flush that rose to his cheeks. “God, you’re so-” 

“Charming?” 

“Cheesy.” 

But his shy smile told a different story, and Yuuji couldn’t resist stealing another kiss. “It’s cuz I like you so much.” 

“Yeah, yeah...I like you, too. A lot.” His cheeks darkened from pink to a deep red at Yuuji’s surprised beam, eyes skittering away from his in his embarrassment. “Now can you move so I can go to bed?” 

“Can I come with you?” 

“Itadori.” 

“Caaaaaaan I get one more kiss?” 

“Itadori, please.” 

“Can you say my first name?” 

“I’m tired.” 

“So mean, Megumin,” Yuuji sighed, but he moved to give him the space to sit up...only to be stopped by a hand at his elbow. He looked at his boyfriend just in time to process that he’d already sat and was leaning in, before there were lips on his in a sweet kiss. 

“Good night, Yuuji. Sleep well.” 

By the time his eyes fluttered open, Fushiguro was gone, and his window was sliding close with a soft click. 

He’d been wrong about his little joys, Yuuji decided as he curled up under his covers with a surprised smile still curving his mouth. There was nothing little about the joy swelling in his chest.

she's known for occasionally making very dirty jokes on vlive, most of which are censored out by her groupmates. many fans have asked for the uncensored cuts.

she co-wrote daijoubanai, and has been credited in writing their newer edm releases. she doesn't write for the metal releases, as they're " too intense. "

her favourite food is pork belly ramen, but she also has a massive sweet tooth, resulting in her often trying to steal some of haru's decadent snacks.

many of the commercials megumi has been in are chaotic and bizarre, making her easily recognizable by foreign DD-zens. even before her debut, there were memes being made out of her various appearances on the big screen.

Lucky Charms Week Day 6 - Cawstume Party

Collab with @narwhalish who did the color to my lines!

Ruby and Yang REALLY wanted to take their Uncle Qrow to a convention, and when Clover found out he was ALL IN. Qrow only caved because he saw how excited Clover was about the whole thing, even agreeing to cosplay a casual Galo to Clover's Lio, spraying his hair blue while Clover went all out with a wig and full (sleeveless) cosplay. Yang and Ruby are Darkness and Megumin from Konosuba. They be at Wondercon (bg is literally one of my selfies from there lol)

Top 10 favorite characters (from different fandoms)

Because @mygeekcorner tagged me.

Ursch from The Villainess Wants to Marry a Commoner

This boy is just... amazing. Like, think yandere straight-man who is constantly being lovey-dovey with a moronic but insanely powerful young girl. I mean, when your response to your fiancee showing up with the crown prince thrown over her shoulder, is to pick up a shovel to “help digging holes”... I wholeheartedly understand why she considers him “perfect husband-material”.

Yuna from Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear

This girl is hilariously overpowered, because she has a bear-pajamas that gives her infinite power. So she looks absurd, acts absurd, and can create a bear-shaped house in an instant. Because bears.

Io from Acchi Kocchi

Tsumiki is a close second, but Io wins because he's so unintentionally charming. And because, when he tries to be charming, he's insanely charming. Boy has too many points in charisma for the safety of the rest of the world.

Tanya from Youjo Senki

She's a reincarnated salaryman, with a hatred for religion (because God is a shit-head), and severe sociopathic tendencies (to the point where she hates war because it's a waste of human capital that could be used elsewhere for greater economic benefit), now trapped in a magical variant of WW1. Unfortunately for her, she's also loaded with several decades worth of future-sight into war-history, excellent magical potential, massive issues with understanding the people around her, and a God tampering in the background. Mainly a favorite for the brief glimpses of humanity we see in her over the course of the war.

Shamiko from Machikado Mazoku

A helpful idiot of a demon, she just wants to defeat the Magical Girl by having her fall (into darkness) for her. In both interpretations of the word “fall” (not that she's aware that she has a crush, because she's an idiot).

Cid Kagenoh from The Eminence in Shadow

A complete chuuni of a weirdo, who trains endlessly for the sake of “ruling from the shadows”, and then gets Isekai'd into another world. Whereupon he creates a fake organization for other chuuni who wants to play at being part of a shadowy organization, and then accidentally turns them into a real shadowy organization without realizing it. He's the kind of guy who'd immediately grovel for a handful of coins, train endlessly whilst pretending at complete ineptitude, murder hundreds of bandits to test out a cool spell, and think only pure-chuuni thoughts.

Haruhi Fujioka from Ouran High School Host Club

A reverse-harem protagonist who gives not a single shit about the antics of the rich boys around her, and who spends her time professionally flirting with women. And then ends up somehow falling in love with the biggest idiot of the bunch in what might be the most adorably drawn-out romance that I've managed to read.

Reborn from Katekyo Hitman Reborn

Because of this post, and how very very true it is.

Asuna from SAO Abrudged

The perfect match for a complete-asshole-Kirito, and the way that they fall in love is hysterical. (Yui being a close second, for actually vibing with her two asshole parents.)

Megumin from Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!

“Explosions” are a personality. It's in fact an extremely sexy kind of personality. That's just a true fact of the world.

Byleth-Sama: Love is War (Part 3)

-----

Part Listings Here!

All AU’s involved listed here!

Having no skills in the art of wooing people, Sara must improvise and find a way to get Byleth with her for the ball.

Even if that means getting help from...Less than desirable people.

The Evening of Part 2...  

[Evening Moments - Trails of Cold Steel]

Sara chugged the last of the ale in her mug and slammed it onto the counter, burping loudly.

(Sara) “Aaaah! Now that hit the spot!”

She laid back against the chair as her mind was barely scrambling together her thoughts.

(Aqua) “You seriously know how to find the good stuff, Instructor!”

(Manuela) “Agreed! Though, what are you doing with us tonight, Sara?”

(Sara) “Hm? Whatcha mean?”

(Manuela) “You’re currently trying to get Byleth as your partner for the dance, right?”

Sara sat back up in her chair and furrowed her brows.

(Sara) “The hell, who told you all that?!”

(Aqua) burp! “Our classes did. Well, technically Sothis did first but ya know!” hic!

(Manuela) “Sothis? Wow, you really ARE out of it. But yes, I heard it from the students. Trying to win that handsome man’s heart isn’t going to be easy with Megumi.”

(Sara) “Hmph.”

(Manuela) “After all, she’s a lot more polite and well liked around the students, doesn’t smell like booze-”

(Sara) “Gee, thanks for your support.”

(Aqua) HIC! “Come on, show some support for our girl! Sara’s got her womanly charms down! She’s SMOKIN! Let’s...ask Kazuma and the other students who’s got your back!”

Sara looked into her mug and nodded.

(Sara) “Not a bad idea from someone so wasted...Let’s do it!”

FWOOOOOOOOOOM!

The entire building shook violently, snapping everyone out of their drinking.

(Manuela) “What in the hell was that?!”

(Sara) “Was...that a guitar?”

(Aqua) “I think it came from the training hall!”

The three looked at each other, shrugged, then went back to drinking. 

Day 3...

[Suburban Town of Trista - Trails of Cold Steel]

Rean sat at the pier fishing when he heard footsteps.

(Sara) “Hey Rean bean!”

(Rean) “Hello, Instructor. Do you need something?”

(Sara) “As a matter of fact, I do! Scooch over will ya?”

Rean shrugged and moved over for Sara to sit down.

(Sara) “Soooo, you have a lot of the girls attention from our class, yes?”

(Rean) “I guess? I don’t know I never got that vibe bef-...Is this about Byleth?”

(Sara) “Right on the money! So, I know I haven’t exactly been the...well...definition of ladylike-”

(Rean) “That’s an understatement-”

(Sara) “H-Hey!”

(Rean) “What? I’m being honest.”

(Sara) “Such words wound my heart! My own student not swooning over his tragically attractive teac-”

(Rean) “It’s Byleth’s attention you’re trying to get right? Class VII is rooting for you all the way, Instructor. Buuuut, I’m not exactly the guy to go to. Why not go to Sharon or any of the girls in House Isekai?”

(Sara) “As if that maid knows anything about being a proper lady!”

(Sharon) “I know more than you do, Miss Sara!”

Sharon smiled as both Rean and Sara jumped.

(Sara) “ACK! Quit doing that! And besides I’m asking you because you seem to help everyone in our class without a hitch. Help your poor teacher too!”

(Rean) “Instructor, you realize I had to do that because you pretty much forced everyone onto me, right?”

(Sharon) “But it’s something you don’t regret doing, Master Rean!”

(Rean) “...Ugh, fair enough. Well I guess if I can recommend anything, what about a better dress? Something you can wear to wow Byleth the day of the ball.”

(Sara) “Hm...That’s a start. Well, thanks Rean!”

(Rean) “Good luck, Instructor.”

Sara walked off to the markets, leaving Rean and Sharon.

(Rean) “...Sharon can you shadow her and Megumi to make sure they don’t end up hurting themselves with this crazy little fight?”

(Sharon) “Already taken care of, Master Rean! I have asked several of our students to keep watch when I am not around!”

(Rean) “Really? Like who?”

...

(Kazuma) “Yo, Sara!”

Sara turned around and saw Kazuma, Megumin, and Edelgard in the market.

(Megumin) “Hi, Instructor!”

(Edelgard) “Good afternoon.”

(Sara) “Hey kids, whatcha need?”

(Kazuma) “We heard you were trying to get an edge over Megunee, and we’re here to help.”

(Megumin) “Yeah, we’ll get you that dance!”

(Edelgard) “You have our word!”

(Sara) “...I can see you two helping me out for none other than pride, but what about you Kazuma?”

(Kazuma) “Meh, it’s just something I believe in.”

“...”

(Kazuma) “...And Sharon paid me.”

(Sara) “There we go, that’s more like it. Anyways, I need some help getting a dress. You lot seem to be more in tune with what’s pretty than me.”

(Megumin) “Uh...All I wear is what you see.”

(Edelgard) “I’m afraid...things like that is beyond my knowledge.”

(Kazuma) “Well if it’s just pretty dresses you need, I think I know just the gal...”

[Open for Business! - Fire Emblem: Awakening]

(Anna) “Welcome to the LARP-Shop!”

(Kazuma) “Sara, this is our dealer for...pretty much every supply we got in House Isekai. Anna, this is that alcoholic teacher.”

(Anna) “A pleasure, Miss Sara!”

(Sara) “Same here. now what’s the LARP part of your shop’s name mean?”

(Anna) “Iunno, sounds kinda fancy ya know?”

(Kazuma) snrk!

(Megumin) “Look at all these costumes! They look like my stuff but...a bit...more banged up.”

(Edelgard) “Oh, what about this knight costume? This is sure to get Byleth’s attention!”

(Kazuma) “Uh, we’re here to get a dress, not make Sara look like us.”

(Anna) “Ooooh, you need a dress? Who’s the lucky man?”

(Sara) “Lucky man? What makes you assume it’s for a guy?”

(Anna) “Well, the ball is coming soon, and every lady I know in Garreg Mach is scrambling to get something pretty, though that’s where the bad news comes in...”

(Kazuma) “Ah shit, don’t tell me?”

(Edelgard) “You’re out of dresses, aren’t you?”

(Anna) “Afraid I am...’

(Sara) “Psh, no problem! I don’t need a dress anyway, I’m sure I can look more stunning with whatever special stuff is here! Hey, Megumin, you’re with me! Edelgard and Kazuma, find me some jewelry!”

(Megumin) “Instructor, who’s money are we using?”

(Sara) “The Monastery’s of course! I ain’t payin a thing myself!”

(Kazuma) “...I respect her so much.”

(Edelgard) “For that?!”

...

(Megumin) “Presenting, the Instructor!”

(Anna) “Oh, she’s done!”

(Kazuma) “Well, let’s see what she di-WOAH.”

“So, how’s this?”

(Megumin) “Pretty!”

(Edelgard) “O-Oh...”

(Kazuma) “HOLY SHIT SHE’S HOT.”

(Anna) “Hah, perfect! To hell with dresses and tradition, am I right?”

(Sara) “Damn straight! Now uh...where exactly did you get this type of clothing? This is more akin to my world’s than anything I’ve seen in Fodlan.”

(Kazuma) “Now that you mention it, yeah that looks more like Earth’s clothing. What’s up with that?”

(Anna) “Don’t question my stock, it’s...an answer you don’t wanna know. Now, let’s get that payment done!”

Once they finished paying for Sara’s new clothes for the ball, she turned to the three.

(Sara) “So, dress acquired! How do I be more ladylike?”

“...”

(Sara) “...I’m asking the wrong people, aren’t I?”

(Megumin, Edelgard & Kazuma) “Yup.”

(Sharon) “If I may?”

(Sara) “GAHGEUDNMDAMN IT!”

(Kazuma) “FUCK! God- how do you?!-”

(Sharon) “I have an idea since the other more womanly types appear to be entirely neutral on this fight or with Megumi though...It’s an idea you may oppose at first.”

(Sara) “Well, I ain’t got anything to lose, hit me.”

Seteth’s Office Room...

[Dapper Cadaver - Team Fortress 2]

Seteth quietly sat in his chair reading a book when he heard a knock at the door.

(Seteth) “Come in.”

Sara awkwardly poked her head around the door.

(Sara) “Uh...h-hey there. Got a second?”

(Seteth) “Oh, Valestein. Please,

GO TO HELL.”

(Sara) “Hah uh...r-real funny. Anyways I-”

SLAM!

Seteth slammed the door, hitting her face in the process and squishing her.

(Sara) “A-AGH! N-NONO WAIT! I’M NOT HERE TO SCREW WITH YOU! I-I NEED YOUR HELP!”

Seteth’s eyes went wide, then he rolled, letting her tumble through the door.

(Seteth) “Make it quick.”

(Sara) “Ack...So...well...You see the thing is, I um...want to take Byleth out...during the...ball.”

(Seteth) “You? You’re terrible with boys!”

(Sara) “Wha? Psh, no! You see this?”

Sara pointed at her face, then body, then the rest of her.

(Sara) “Look at all of this! No, I’m GREAT with the boys! It’s the men, the classy ones. The ones that smell good and...can read.”

(Seteth) “If I recall Byleth couldn’t read when he first started tea-”

(Sara) “Bah, besides the point! And seeing as you’re an actual man who married...I need your help in making me into a woman that he could consider taking into the ball.”

(Seteth) “Hm, and why is it that you are unapproachable to men?”

(Sara) “...C-Come on, Seteth. I don’t know.”

(Seteth) “Well,  a mystery that you will take when you return to your world, goodbye!”

(Sara) “Wait wait wait...Ugh, this NEVER leaves this room...You...are better than me. I need your help.”

Seteth sighed but then turned to her.

(Seteth) “Then let’s get to work. We only have a few more days.”
